After being read by the tyrant, the character of the little cannon fodder completely collapsed

Chapter 90 We are killing people with a borrowed knife

Ling Xi smiled lightly: "Why, do you still feel aggrieved by letting you go?"

"What conspiracy do you want to do?" The man gritted his teeth and held his injured arm, shouting angrily: "I won't let you succeed!"

"Who do you think we are? Guanyin Bodhisattva?! I won't kill you not because you have done good deeds to accumulate merit, but because you are bound to die anyway. Why should we bother to kill you anymore!"

"..." The man took a breath, obviously not understanding what this meant.

"Stupid thing!!" Qian Shizhong said as if he were looking at an idiot: "Four people acted, three died, and you were the only one alive... If you were your master, what would you think?!"

The man suddenly said: "What are you..."

"Yes, that's what you understand... borrowing a knife to kill someone!" Ling Xi made a farewell gesture: "We are borrowing a knife to kill someone!"

Qian showed loyalty: "Kill you with your master's hands!"

Ling Xi: "In that case, why should we bother to get blood!?"

"..."

The two sang in harmony, talking about how ugly the man's face was.

Ling Xi opened the door directly: "Go slowly, I won't send you away!"

Unexpectedly, the man took a step back instinctively.

He knows better than anyone how cruel his master's methods are.

If he goes back like this, the master will definitely misunderstand that he said everything before Ling Xi let him go.

By then, he will still die!
Do not!
wrong!

It is better to die than to live!
It will also affect the family!

That being the case...

There was a fierceness in his eyes, and he suddenly roared, raising his hand to slap himself on the head with all his strength, wanting to kill himself.

but……

When his palm was about to fall on his head, he involuntarily lost most of his strength, so that he was slapped on the forehead, but his life was not hurt.

Qian Shizhong chuckled: "What are you doing? Are you committing suicide?"

Ling Xi threw the dagger over: "Suicide requires courage. If you can commit suicide, you are still a man. Come on, we will see you on your way!"

The man roared, grabbed the dagger and pointed it at his heart, but it couldn't be stabbed.

Ling Xi leaned over and sat on the desk, swinging her feet leisurely: "As the saying goes, if you are exhausted over and over again, the same is true for self-destruction!"

When a person cannot think clearly, the brain will secrete exciting substances, which will prompt the person to engage in uncontrollable and extreme behavior.

But when this hormone gradually dissipates and people regain their composure, it will be difficult to have this courage again.

If in the beginning, a man might get a little excited when he sees his partner die.

But now...

I'm afraid he doesn't have the courage anymore.

So, she is not in a hurry.

She and Qian Shizhong walked in tandem, staring at the man like monkeys, saying nothing, just waiting to see how he would continue.

Under their gaze, the man's hands became softer and softer, and he became more and more hesitant.

Finally, he threw the dagger out with a roar, looked at Ling Xi and Qian Shizhong fiercely, held his arms, and walked out step by step. "Qian Shizhong!" Ling Xi gave Qian Shizhong a look.

He understood and left quietly.

Ling Xi called the servants of the Ling Mansion and placed the bodies of the three people at the front door.

After dawn, a passerby discovered the body and immediately reported the news to the government office.

Soon, the outside of Ling Mansion was filled with people watching the fun.

The housekeeper of Ling Mansion, named Cao, was standing at the door with a smile.

Seeing the yamen officer dismounting, he immediately went up to greet him and bowed: "My lords, there was a robber in our house last night, which frightened our eldest lady and also lost some things. Zhang Captou, please take a look. These are the things that were lost in our house." List of things.”

Zhang Captou looked at the list, then at the three corpses on the ground, and then at Butler Cao who was smiling.

"Steward Cao, it seems that your mansion is well prepared!"

"It's impossible not to be prepared. My young lady is timid. There was a thief last night and she was frightened. She just drank the soothing soup and went to sleep. It's not easy to be disturbed. So I made the decision without permission and took care of everything, so that Zhang would not ask the young lady again. It shocked my eldest lady."

The implication is...that's the way it is, you just listen to whatever is said. Anyway, I'll let you know what you need to know, and don't ask any questions about what you shouldn't know.

Zhang Baotou can hold the position of headcatcher in Kyoto, so he naturally understands the rules of the game among officials and nobles.

He didn't say much and took the list: "In that case, I won't disturb the eldest lady. This list will be taken back to the head. If there is any progress, I will definitely tell the eldest lady!"

"You have a reward for arresting the head!"

Zhang Captou snorted and called on his men to take away the three bodies.

On the way back, one of his subordinates came up and asked, "Zhang Baotou, are we leaving like this?"

"What else? Go in and ask?" Zhang Baotou rolled his eyes at him: "Didn't you hear what others said? The eldest lady was frightened, how dare you go in and ask? If you ask what's going on, how many heads do you have to bear? "

"No, what I mean is that we didn't even go in and just left like this. If word spread... wouldn't it be bad for our reputation?"

"Why didn't we go in?" Zhang Captou glared at him and said meaningfully: "We asked the relevant people, then went in to investigate the crime scene, questioned the relevant personnel, and determined that four thieves broke into the house. They were discovered by the guards of the Ling Mansion. In self-defense, they killed three of them and the remaining one ran away with his things!"

Subordinate: "??"

Zhang Captou said impatiently: "Don't you understand? Who can break into Zaifu's house and steal, will he be a small thief? He is asking for death! The identities of these thieves are not simple. If we continue to investigate, we still don't know who will be involved. Who is it? Just treat it like a little thief. It will also help the three masters behind them..."

What a stupid thing!
Which of the things in the capital does not affect the whole body? !
Do you really think these three people are just thieves?

What little thief dares to blatantly go in and "steal" when a notice is posted in Ling Mansion?

Of course there are those people backstage!

None of those people were matched by their yamen officials for identity verification!
Things are for the best when they are on their side.

If the Ling family refuses to let go and insists on continuing the investigation, it will cost them their lives!
-

In the abandoned thatched house, the man bit a wooden stick, held his dislocated arm hard, and tried hard to twist the arm to reset it. However, due to the inability of his technique, the pain caused him to almost faint, and he could not restore the arm.

Just as he was gritting his teeth and about to try again, there were footsteps outside the house.

He immediately became alert, took the dagger and hid behind the pyre, motionless.

A man walked in and slowly took off his long curtain hat.

"It's me, come out."

"Aunt Rui?" The man breathed a sigh of relief, walked out in embarrassment, and knelt on the ground: "Aunt Rui, my subordinate did something wrong and messed up. Please forgive me for my sins!"
