Chapter 509: No One Needs Company on the Road to the Underworld
After hearing what Eunuch Liu said, He Zhiran realized something.
No wonder they didn't meet any servants when they first entered the mansion.
Dingran's father thought about what the queen would eventually do, so in order to prevent the servants from being implicated, he dismissed them early.
Uncle Feng is an exception. He is loyal to his father. Even if he knew he would die, he would not run away alone to live in disgrace.
Sure enough, He Yuanming burst into laughter.
"Hahahahahaha... I knew this day would come, so I dismissed all my family and servants long ago. Even if I die, I don't need anyone to accompany me on my journey to the underworld."
"You...you are so brave!" Eunuch Liu did not expect that Minister He would do such a ruthless thing. Before he went out on the mission, the Queen Mother had warned him that Minister He was stubborn, and if he was not afraid of death, she would threaten him with his family.
Unexpectedly, they had made preparations in advance.
So what leverage does he have to threaten others?
Eunuch Liu rolled his eyes and suddenly thought of something.
"Don't forget, your daughter is still in the northwest. If the Queen just says a word and sends a team, do you think she still has a chance of survival?"
Hearing this, He Zhiran could no longer hold his temper.
She and Mo Jiuye walked out from behind the screen at the same time.
The two men acted in perfect coordination. While Eunuch Liu was not paying attention, they stepped forward from the left and right and knocked out the two eunuchs beside him.
Then she sneered and said, "If you want to kill me, you don't have to go to the northwest. I'm standing in front of you now. It depends on whether you have the ability to do it."
Mo Jiuye is a martial artist, and his ability to sense dangers around him is extremely strong.
When he was hiding behind the screen, he was carefully sensing the situation around him and confirmed that only the three people in front of him came to the Shangshu Mansion today.
Therefore, when He Zhiran planned to show up, he also remained supportive.
Eunuch Liu didn't recognize the two people in front of him, but he was not stupid.
He Zhiran's identity can be judged from his words, but Eunuch Liu is a little bit unbelievable. The eldest daughter of the He family was exiled to the northwest on the second day after marrying into the Mo family. How could she appear in the capital?
I have to say, this eunuch Liu is really brainless.
Although he was secretly criticizing the identity of the woman who was speaking in front of him, he also clearly saw the entire process of the fight between the two people.
His agility is comparable to those of the secret guards around the queen. He is definitely a martial arts master.
Eunuch Liu was quite sensible. He kept his mouth shut on his own initiative without He Zhiran and Mo Jiuye reminding him to keep quiet.
However, in order to verify the identity of the person in front of him, he still asked in a normal voice:
"Who are you?"
He Zhiran sneered.
"Hehe... didn't you just threaten my father to have the Queen send people to the northwest to take my life?
how?
I am standing right in front of you, and you don’t recognize me?”
At this time, Minister He was already dumbfounded. He had also seen the actions of He Zhiran and Mo Jiuye just now.
He never knew when his daughter learned this skill.
And seeing that she was so close to Eunuch Liu, he was afraid that Eunuch Liu would be desperate and take her hostage to threaten him.
"Ranran, come to your father and don't waste your breath on this kind of person."
Minister He had already prepared himself for death. If his daughter and son-in-law had not come over today, he might have taken the bottle of poison on the table.
However, with the relatives he cared about present, he couldn't do that no matter what.
It seems that he is bound to fight to the death with Eunuch Liu.
He said that it was a fight to the death, but he actually forgot about Mo Jiuye. With him, the former god of war of Dashun, here, how could he and his daughter be in danger?
Mo Jiuye also didn't want He Zhiran to take any danger, so he stood in front of the He father and daughter and looked directly at Eunuch Liu.
It was not difficult to judge from his cold eyes that he looked at Eunuch Liu as if he were looking at a dead person.
Uncle Feng was listening to the noises inside the study room outside the door. He knew his son-in-law's abilities well and knew that with him around, the master and the eldest daughter would be safe. Therefore, he always stayed there diligently.
Just now he heard his master calling the eldest lady to come to his side. Even though he was confident in Mo Jiuye's abilities, he was still a little worried.
Just as Mo Jiuye reached out and clamped Eunuch Liu's neck, Uncle Feng broke in with a wooden stick as thick as his arm.
Originally, he was thinking about dying together with his master, but today the eldest daughter and son-in-law are back, and the master will definitely not choose to do that.
Since it's a fight to the death, he has to do his part.
"Eunuch, you dare to bully the master and the young lady? I will beat you to death."
When Mo Jiuye saw Uncle Feng coming in aggressively, he quickly threw Eunuch Liu, who was about to be crushed to death by him, over.
Eunuch Liu's fat body fell at Uncle Feng's feet like a pile of meat paste under Mo Jiuye's force.
Uncle Feng was also quick and swift, and he brought the wooden stick he had just raised down hard on his body.
This time, Uncle Feng used all his strength, and Eunuch Liu was beaten so hard that he passed out without even a groan.
Since Mo Jiuye and He Zhiran chose to show up in front of these eunuchs, they had no intention of letting them live.
Both of them were very accurate in their attacks and were sure that the two eunuchs who were knocked unconscious first would not wake up within half an hour.
Eunuch Liu was almost killed by Uncle Feng's blow.
"Dad, these people are sent by the Queen. Does she want your life?"
Now that the court is in chaos, Minister He is unwilling to conspire with the Queen's party, so he has naturally made plans to die.
But he didn't want to talk about this to his daughter.
Minister He didn't want to say it, but Uncle Feng couldn't help it.
Seeing that his master had not spoken yet, he stepped forward and said, "Miss, please persuade the master!
The day before yesterday, he had sent away all the servants in his house and was ready to die.
If I hadn't insisted on staying, the master would have driven me away as well."
"Shut up and don't tell Ranran about this. She's a girl and isn't suitable to be involved in these things." Minister He scolded Uncle Feng harshly, not allowing him to say anything.
Uncle Feng had finally found a straw that could save his master's life, so how could he stop?
“Master, even if you kill me today, I will tell the young lady.
You must let the young lady take you away from this dangerous place."
Uncle Feng ignored Minister He's warning and said to He Zhiran again:
"My lady, you must persuade the old man to leave no matter what. The Queen's party can no longer tolerate him.
The master has worked diligently for the court for most of his life, and he shouldn't have ended up like this.
You just saw it too. If you and your uncle hadn’t been here, the master would have probably lost his life…”
Uncle Feng could no longer speak, his eyes were red.
