Chapter 333: The traitor is beheaded
Chapter 333: The traitor is beheaded
As one of the main leaders of the inner guards, Fenghuang was well aware of the real purpose of Li Cunxi's tour of inspection on behalf of the emperor.
Deploying defenses in Jiangzhou in advance is also to ensure that the fireworks of revenge can bloom brilliantly enough.
In order to avenge Li Cunxi, Jiangzhou Governor Mi Qing secretly investigated many clues and learned some unknown little secrets, just waiting to share them with Li Cunxi.
Jiangzhou Chief Secretary Feng Wanchun, Jiangzhou Sima Ge Bin, Jiangzhou Legal Officer Zhang Xiangong, Jiangzhou Silver Officer Wu Shun, Wuping County Magistrate Huang Wenyue and Pingnan Marquis Xue Qinglin, who were under strict surveillance, now have no way to leave Jiangzhou. This place has become their burial place.
In addition to the internal guards who could be mobilized, the guards specially approved by Wu Zetian for Li Cunxi have also arrived in Jiangzhou and are now being stationed in the military camp outside Wuping County.
Everything is ready, just waiting for Li Cunxi's arrival, and everything can proceed in an orderly manner.
In less than a quarter of an hour, Li Cunxi met the leader of Phoenix Pavilion, whom he had met several times. After exchanging greetings, everyone began to discuss what happened in Jiangzhou.
It was not until late at night that Li Cunxi left with a feeling of reluctance.
On the same evening, Wu Shun, the Jiangzhou Silver Officer of Xunyang County, was still in his official residence late at night looking through the account books, not daring to be negligent in the slightest.
Recently, the area of Jiangzhou has been in a state of panic. After all, Wu Shun has been an official for so many years, so he is no fool. After feeling it for a while, he also understands the strangeness of it.
If nothing unexpected happens, then something unexpected is going to happen. I'm afraid Li Cunxi himself has already arrived in Jiangzhou.
Under such high-pressure conditions, Wu Shun, who wanted to survive, naturally tried his best to prove that he was a good official and a good man. He wanted to use his redoubled hard work to exchange for a glimmer of survival that was out of reach.
Things like working overtime late at night have been happening almost every day in his official residence in the past month.
At this time, Wu Shun, the Jiangzhou Silver Officer, who was still looking through the account book, suddenly heard a knock on the door.
"come in."
Thinking that it was extremely safe and that this place was not accessible to ordinary people, Wu Shun naturally let anyone in.
Unexpectedly, the person who pushed the door open was a man in black.
The man in black was wearing a black hood that covered his entire face. In his left hand he was holding a huge meteor hammer, and in his right hand he was holding a phoenix-wing gilded drill of unknown weight!
It’s hard to imagine how a man holding such a heavy weapon knocked on the door just now.
"who are you?"
"What are you going to do?"
Wu Shun's eyes widened, and he stood up and retreated to the corner of the official residence in fear.
The man in black did not say a word, but placed the phoenix-wing gilded drill against the window and closed the door with his backhand.
Then, the man in black picked up the phoenix-wing gilded drill again and bursts of cold laughter came from his hood.
In this silent and deserted night, the man's laughter was like a night owl opening its eyes in the forest, creepy and terrifying.
"What's wrong? Have you forgotten who I am?" The man under the hood asked in a cold voice.
"Who are you?" Wu Shun's eyes were full of fear. The pain of facing death made him not even have the courage to resist.
The men pressed forward step by step, forcing the panicked Wu Shun to retreat into the corner of the house.
"Since you have forgotten, I will help you recall. Eleven years ago, you robbed and killed my entire family on the lake, and even pretended to be me and went to Chang'an to falsely accuse Huang Guogong Li Ai, ruining my reputation. Everyone thinks I am a despicable and shameless villain who betrayed his brothers!"
"What, you are the real Xue Qinglin!"
"That's right, but I have another name now. My name is Lin Yongzhong!"
Lin Yongzhong raised his head and his hood fell back, revealing his fairly handsome face and his eyes that were burning with anger.
"How could it be you? How could you be the real Xue Qinglin? How could you be Xue Qinglin!"
Wu Shun said in disbelief that he had also met Xue Qinglin. There were always a few days every year when he and Xue Qinglin would meet in Xunyang County.
However, he could never have imagined that this Lin Yongzhong would actually be Xue Qinglin who survived the disaster that year!
"I am the real Xue Qinglin. I came here today to seek revenge on you."
"I'm telling you, my future son-in-law Li Cunxi has already arrived in Jiangzhou. Huang Guogong Li Ai and my Xue family are here to destroy your six families."
"I will kill you today, and then I will send your entire family to the underworld to meet you later, to comfort my deceased family members!"
Lin Yongzhong finally got rid of his anger. After holding it in for so many years, he could finally take revenge.
After taking a look at the Phoenix-wing Gilded Boring Hammer and the Meteor Hammer, Lin Yongzhong chose to hold the Phoenix-wing Gilded Boring Hammer tightly, swung it with one hand, and directly chopped off Wu Shun's head.
"Cool!!!"
Wu Shun's head rolled all over the ground and rolled to Xue Qinglin's feet.
Lin Yongzhong kicked Wu Shun's head to the side of the bed, turned around, opened the door and left this place of trouble.
After leaving the official residence, Lin Yongzhong left quickly under the guidance of Ma Rong and Zhang Yi.
Just as the day was getting light, Phoenix received the latest news.
Wu Shun, the Silver Cao of Jiangzhou, was killed in his own official residence. The enemy was very skilled in martial arts and chopped off Wu Shun's head in one fell swoop.
The occurrence of such a vicious tragedy made Fenghuang feel scalp tingling. Wu Shun was also under the surveillance of the internal security, but no one discovered who did it.
This is really weird.
Fenghuang gritted his teeth, called his men, and ordered, "Go to Rujia Inn and report this news to the Demon Spirit Pavilion."
The subordinate responded, left the dilapidated temple, and headed towards the only Home Inn in Wuping County.
Soon, Li Cunxi learned from the evil spirit that Yin Cao Wu Shun died in the official residence. He knew that Lin Yongzhong had already started to take action, but he didn't know whether Ma Rong and others had contacted Chen Yiqu.
"It seems that this case has entered a very interesting stage. Cunxi, was Wu Shun's death arranged by you?"
Wu Yanhao held his chin with his hand, and looked at Li Cunxi across the table with his big eyes blinking.
"I'm here for revenge. I have to kill this man."
"But...I didn't kill him."
"I also think there is something fishy behind this incident, but I don't know who caused it and who did it."
Li Cunxi frowned and pretended to be lost in thought, muttering to himself.
Wu Yanhao's speculation was defeated by Li Cunxi's performance, and he had to think about whether there was something else going on.
Now that his subordinate Yin Cao is dead, Mi Qing will definitely not be able to sit still and must go to investigate.
Since they couldn't get any news in Wuping County, they might as well go to Xunyang County to meet Mi Qing.
When Wu Yanhao thought of this, he immediately asked Li Cunxi:
"Cunxi, how about we go to Xunyang County? Brother Mi is there, so we can check if there are any clues. What do you think?"
