Chapter 403 I Haven’t Gotten in the Car Yet!

The sharp blade cut across the tip of the nose and penetrated deeply into the board. No scholar from the south of the Yangtze River had ever seen this before. One person was so frightened that he stared at the blade, his eyes crossed, and he fainted on the spot.

The other person shivered subconsciously, and the bridge of his nose accidentally touched the blade, causing a cut and blood flowing freely.

"Ugh~!" Feeling the pain coming from the bridge of his nose, the man let out a piercing scream and wanted to get up and escape.

It was obviously just a small cut, but it seemed as if he had suffered a heavy injury and lost too much blood. His hands and feet were weak, and he was unable to get up several times.

Zhou Ji hated people making noises the most, so she turned over the wine cup and glared at him. This person seemed to feel danger, and subconsciously closed his mouth. He endured the discomfort of blood flowing from the bridge of his nose to his mouth, and squatted on the ground, not daring to move. .

Jiangnan literary style prevailed, and in addition to the three people chattering in the hall on the second floor, there were many other scholars from around Yangcheng.

The sound of broken screens and desks attracted the attention of other guests. Seeing someone humiliating scholars in this way, some of the scholars immediately gathered around, pointed at Zhou Ji and Xu Fengnian, and reprimanded loudly and indignantly.

"Jiangnan doesn't welcome warriors" "You've gone too far to bully others, get out of Yangcheng". Everyone yelled, their necks turned red, they quoted scriptures and vowed to use all they had learned, but no one dared to step forward and save the two of them from the sword. rescued.

Xu Fengnian slowly raised his head, his cold eyes burning with blazing anger. Wherever he looked, it was like a basin of cold water was poured on everyone's heads. He glanced at the cold blade, and the scoldings became smaller and smaller. Hall on the second floor The atmosphere gradually became solemn.

"It's none of your business, get out of here!"

As if they were granted amnesty, everyone rolled and crawled towards the stairs to escape, fearing that they would harm Chi Yu.

"Can we talk now?"

Xu Fengnian pulled out the Xiudong sword and pointed it at the tip of the Confucian scholar's nose, which was cut by the blade. The blood drops from the blade fell on the unconscious companion's face, and the companion shivered. The hem of the scholar's shirt was suddenly wet, and there was a stinking smell. A strange smell came from underneath me.

"What are you talking about?" The Confucian scholar covered his nose with one hand, his voice trembling as he saw the tip of the knife getting closer and closer.

"Say whatever you want, just like what you are talking about." Xu Fengnian raised Chun Lei and inserted it into the other person's thigh without saying a word, and said in a cold tone: "If you dare to fool me, this is your fate!"

The Confucian scholar looked at his companion whose thighs were twitching and whose clothes were dripping with blood. How dare he fool him? He immediately revealed that the three of them were scholars from Jiangxin Academy, and they were talking about the scandals between the Lu family's widow and Mr. Chengzhai these days. .

A month ago, the daughter-in-law of the Xu family in Beizhou who married the Lu family in Jiangnan took the initiative to seduce Liu Liting, Mr. Chengzhai, at Baoguo Temple. As a result, Liu Liting's wife bumped into her and slapped the widow in public.

This incident caused an uproar in Yangcheng, and even spread to the palace.

When Xu Feng came to Yangcheng at the beginning of the year, she didn't know what the relationship between her eldest sister and Mr. Chengzhai was. After listening to what the Confucian scholar said, her face became even more ugly.

Since their mother died when they were young, he and Huang Man'er were actually brought up by Xu Zhihu. He is afraid of his second sister because Xu Weixiong is strong, and he respects his eldest sister because Xu Zhihu's eldest sister is like a mother.

Now that I hear someone slandering my eldest sister, I feel like killing someone.

"Is what he said true?" Xu Fengnian turned to look at the other person who was unconscious. Seeing that he had no reaction, he said in a stiff tone: "If you keep pretending to be unconscious, you don't have to wake up!"

"What's that? He's not pretending." Zhou Ji coughed lightly and covered his nose, "I just got stabbed by you. I lost too much blood and I'm really unconscious."

Xu Fengnian raised the knife and walked towards the man whose clothes were torn to pieces by the sword energy. The man immediately opened his eyes, knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "The whole city knows about this, you can just ask anyone to find out." "

"If you don't tell me, I will ask!" Xu Fengnian put away his sword and walked towards the stairs. Zhou Ji looked at the messy hall and suddenly lost any appetite. He shook his head and got up and followed.

There was not a single customer in the restaurant. The shopkeeper and the waiter shivered behind the counter, fearing to offend these two outsiders.

Just after passing the corner of the stairs, Zhou Ji saw Xu Fengnian turning towards this side outside the door, her eyes flickering and her hands holding the handle of the knife.

Seeing his murderous look, Zhou Ji turned sideways to get out of the way, only to hear waves of stomping footsteps reaching upstairs, followed by three heartbreaking wails, and even the unconscious man was He woke up with a start, howling louder than the other two.

The more I thought about it, the more angry I became. After I left, I became more and more annoyed.

Xu Fengnian slashed off the bridges of three people's noses with a knife, feeling relieved.

Zhou Ji shook her head, walked towards the counter, clicked the table with the back of her fingers, and said with a smile: "Today I'm interrupting the shopkeeper's business. How much are the damaged things upstairs? Let's write a bill for the time being. I'll put it in the account of the eldest son, Xu Fengnian, of Beimu Prince's Mansion." ,do you understand?"

The shopkeeper listened to the wailing sound coming from the second floor window and stood up from behind the counter shivering. When he heard Xu Fengnian's name, he immediately reacted.

The Bei Ming Crown Prince was the most dandy in the Liyang Dynasty, and his reputation for arrogance and domineering spread throughout the world. It was rumored that he would come to Yangcheng to visit the Lu family's widow in the near future. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be true.

"Don't be afraid, just write it down truthfully."

Zhou Ji smiled, chatting with the shopkeeper about the rumors about Liu Liting, then turned to look at Xu Fengnian who was coming down the stairs, "Are you relieved?"

Xu Fengnian's face was as dark as water. He looked at Zhou Ji and said, "Old Zhou, accompany me to Jiangxin County."

"good."

Jiangxin County, Liu Mansion.

The Liu Mansion is considered a family with a good family background in Yangzhou, but the gentry is also divided into different levels. Compared with the four great families, the difference is like heaven and earth.

Liu Liting, nicknamed Mr. Chengzhai, was comforting his wife with kind words at this time, and even personally cooked a nourishing chicken soup and brought it to his wife.

"Come, my lady, try this soup, I have been cooking it for a long time."

Madam Liu turned away and sulked at the table. Liu Liting secretly glanced at her face, lifted the lid of the bowl, walked up to her and flattered her: "Madam, are you still angry? It's not good to be angry."

"It's okay to be angry to death, it just satisfies your heart, so you can go find that vixen!" Madam Liu turned around again, not even looking at him.

"Madam, I have explained to you so many times, I am really wronged!" Liu Liting followed and paced, sat next to the lady, put down the soup bowl, and said helplessly: "You also know that it was that slut who took the initiative to pester me. It was really an unprovoked disaster."

Outside the window, Xu Fengnian listened to the conversation between the two, especially when he heard Liu Liting say the word "slut". Holding the handle of the knife, he said with an ugly face: "My sister is infatuated with Hong Xixiang, and she will never like such a person!"

"Whether it is true or not, you will know it after asking." Zhou Ji smiled indifferently and walked straight to the door.

Dangdangdang~The door was knocked lightly.

Liu Liting let go of his wife's hand and said with a stern face, "Madam, you haven't finished your meal yet. I'll clean up later."

As the saying goes, courtesy comes before force. Zhou Ji pushed open the door, walked into the room calmly with Chunlei and a flower pot. In the doubtful eyes of Liu Liting and Madam Liu, he walked to the table, saw the untouched chicken soup, sat down directly, and said with a smile: "Coincidentally, I haven't eaten yet~"

Zhou Ji put down the flower pot, scooped a spoonful of chicken soup and tasted it, "It tastes really good."

"Who are you? What do you do?" Liu Liting protected his wife behind him, looked up at the yard, and wanted to call the servants to protect the yard.

"Don't shout, no one will come." Zhou Ji said lightly, which frightened Liu Liting and his wife.

Liu Liting's voice suddenly became a little sharp, and he stood on tiptoe and broke his voice: "Did you kill them all?"

Zhou Ji smiled indifferently, and did not explain that he only stopped the people and did not hurt the servants' lives.

But his smile was even more frightening in the eyes of Liu Liting and his wife. Mrs. Liu, who was originally protected by Liu Liting, pulled away Liu Liting's arm, stepped forward, and said in a trembling voice: "If you want money, please spare us two, everything is easy to talk about."

Zhou Ji's smile faded, and he said with murderous intent: "I am not interested in money, but I heard that Mr. and Xu Zhihu were in love, so I want to borrow Mr.'s life to avenge the Xu family."

"If you want to avenge the Xu family, you should go to the Lu family to find Xu Zhihu." Liu Liting said anxiously with a sad face.

Zhou Ji drew out the Spring Thunder and pointed it at Liu Liting, saying in a deep voice: "Although the world doesn't know that the Lu family has a top master Lu Baijie, if I can kill me, why would I need to find you?"

Liu Liting looked at the shining blade. The blade was made of a special material that didn't get blood on it, but there seemed to be a faint smell of blood lingering in the noses of Liu Liting and his wife.

Thinking of the dozens of lives that were killed in the courtyard, the smell of blood seemed to be magnified and became even stronger. Liu Liting's legs trembled and his face turned pale. He said, "Sir, sir, Xu Zhihu, that woman, is still bent on me. If you want to kill her, I can ask her to go out of the house for a private meeting. She will definitely agree."

Mrs. Liu pulled Liu Liting's sleeve and whispered, "How dare you wade into this muddy water?"

"How can I trust you?" Zhou Ji sneered, but he also sheathed the Spring Thunder and sat at the table to continue drinking soup.

Liu Liting turned and walked to the desk, quietly picked up an inkstone and hid it in his sleeve. Just when Zhou Ji thought he was going to "fight back", the man raised the inkstone and knocked his wife unconscious. He stretched out his hand to check her breath and confirmed that she was just unconscious. He breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Zhou Ji, who was surprised, and said in a deep voice: "She can't hear the next words."

Liu Liting looked back at his wife lying on the ground, took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice: "The relationship between Xu Zhihu and me is not as rumored. In the final analysis, I was deliberately pestering her. Every time Xu Zhihu went out, I would find an opportunity to meet him, send him poems, and praise him, just to ruin his reputation and make the Lu family and Beiliang turn against each other."

Liu Liting told the whole story and took out the correspondence between himself and the Hanlin Academy in the capital to prove himself.

Zhou Ji let Liu Liting take back the letter and continued to drink chicken soup at the table, "Did you hear everything?"

"I heard it."

"Who is talking?" Liu Liting heard the voice, his face suddenly changed, turned around and saw another young man coming out of the door, "Who are you?"

Xu Fengnian put his hand on the handle of the knife, his face was as gloomy as water, and said: "I am Xu Fengnian."

The letter in Liu Liting's hand slipped, and he subconsciously looked at Zhou Ji, pointed at Xu Fengnian and said, "He he is Xu Fengnian."

"So? You want me to kill him?" Zhou Ji threw Chunlei casually, Xu Fengnian took the knife back to the sheath, looked at Liu Liting and said: "You and Jingcheng planned to harm my Xu family. Have you ever thought about the consequences?"

This was the first time Xu Fengnian had the desire to kill, and had an impulse to kill.

Even for those who wanted to kill him, he didn't have such a strong desire to kill.

Liu Liting insulted his elder sister's reputation and joined forces with Jingcheng to plot against Xu Zhihu. This matter has touched his reverse scale.

Liu Liting felt something was wrong and subconsciously wanted to escape, but the door was blocked by Zhou Ji and Xu Fengnian. He hurriedly ran to the side window to escape through the window. However, before he could even take a step forward, Xu Fengnian grabbed him and dragged him forward. Direction to the stables.

During this period, Xu Fengnian did not even block Liu Liting's mouth and allowed him to shout for help, attracting pedestrians and residents around to watch.

Liu Liting, who had a well-known literary name in Jiangxin County, was now tied to a rope, claiming that Prince Bei Ming wanted to kill him.

Xu Fengnian's expression did not change, he looked around and said, "Yes, I am Beimu Crown Prince Xu Fengnian! Everyone, please remember this name!"

After saying that, he rode away, the long rope suddenly tightened, and Liu Liting's plea for mercy turned into a cry of pain.

The onlookers were confused, and the outermost passers-by stood on tiptoe to look into the courtyard of the Liu Mansion with the door open. Suddenly, they saw a strange man walking out of the courtyard, holding a flower pot in his hand. The crowd surrounding him suddenly spread in a circle.

Zhou Ji stood in the crowd, looking at the drag marks on the ground with a dumbfounded look. He shook his head, raised his feet and flew up, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Yangcheng, Lu family.

These days, due to rumors in the city, the reputation of the Lu family has been in decline. This daughter of the Xu family, who was supposed to raise the profile of the Lu family, not only killed the legitimate son who had high hopes for the family, but also brought countless humiliations to the Lu family.

Near noon, the housekeeper who was out doing shopping hurriedly came to the study and rushed into the study in a panic. He ignored the usual etiquette and shouted urgently: "Master, it's not good."

Lu Xuanlang was also troubled by the rumors recently. He slammed the saint's classics in his hand on the table and said angrily: "How unbecoming is it to panic!"

The butler's lips were blue and white and trembling, he bent down and whispered a shocking news that shocked the whole city.

The eldest son of the Xu family has arrived in Yangcheng, and he just made a big fuss at Yiding Tower, injuring three scholars. He then went to Jiangxin County, tied Mr. Chengzhai to a rope, and dragged him on horseback to the city for parade. He is now heading towards the Lu family. .

"Unscrupulous! This guy is really unscrupulous!!"

When Lu Xuanlang heard this, the muscles in the corner of his eyes twitched, and he was filled with shock and anger.

He immediately ordered people to close the door tightly and not allow anyone to open the door for Xu Fengnian.

It was dozens of miles from Jiangxin County to Yangcheng. When Liu Liting dragged him to the door of Lu's house, he had already turned into a cold, bloody corpse.

Stopping in front of the house and looking at the closed door of the Lu family, Xu Fengnian suddenly realized that he seemed to have missed something. He looked back at the elongated traces of blood on the ground and Liu Liting, who had already died, and tilted his head in confusion.
