Chapter 87

On the quiet official road, the killing has come to an end.

Shen Ning ordered that no one should be left alive, and the matter should be put to an end, completely splitting the Wang family.

This is only the first target of Shen Ning's revenge, and the whole Wang family will be next.

After the Wang family, it is the southeast palace.

Let Sima enjoy his [-]th birthday, because the next time he wants to celebrate his birthday, he will have to go to hell and let Lord Yan make arrangements for him.

"Master, everyone has been dealt with." A guard came to Shen Ning and reported.

Shen Ning came back to his senses, at this moment a system prompt sounded in his mind:
"Score +25, the current score is 45/100."

"You change your clothes, throw away your weapons, and disperse into the city." Shen Ning ordered.

"Yes!" The guards were ordered to disperse, and quickly disappeared without a trace.

Shen Ning also turned around and entered the city through the west gate.

He was dressed in coarse linen and changed his appearance so that no one could recognize him.

However, when we entered the city, we encountered a team that was entering the city.Dozens of elite guards rode on horseback to protect the three carriages in the middle. This kind of pomp was not something that ordinary merchants should expect, it must be a big family.

I saw the family emblem hanging on the carriage surrounded and protected, a word "Xun".

Shen Ning frowned, and immediately guessed the origin of this group of people.

The top-ranking family in Yuzhou, the Xun family.

Also being a top-ranking family, the reputation of the Xun family in Yingchuan is better than that of the Wang family in Xuzhou. It can be said that they are among the top clans in the entire 21 states of Jin Dynasty.

Especially before the establishment of the Great Jin Dynasty, the Three Kingdoms were fighting for hegemony, and the Xun family produced several amazing and brilliant people, which made the Xun family's name resound all over the world.

Moreover, the Xun family is particularly attentive to the maintenance and management of their reputation. They pass on Confucianism and are leaders respected by scholars. They have a very high reputation in the world. There are endless reputations such as outstanding moral character and benefiting the country.

In addition, the Xun family's property is also unique, and the abundance of wealth is the envy of other families.

Such a smart family, how could they suddenly visit Pengcheng?Could it be that he also came to celebrate the birthday of the Southeast King?
Who is the other person in the carriage?
Shen Ning felt vigilant, and followed to see the situation.The rash joining of a high-ranking family may destroy Shen Ning's plan, so we have to be careful.

After this Xun family team entered the city, they did not go to the Southeast Palace, but actually went to the Wang Family.

This made Shen Ning even more vigilant. In order to avoid being discovered, he did not approach, but returned home.

Li Ru was waiting, when he saw Shen Ning who came back with a slightly condensed expression, he asked, "What's wrong? Something happened?"

Shen Ning said: "Nothing happened, everyone was killed. When I entered the city from the west, I saw people from the Xun family in Yuzhou coming, and they also went to the Wang family."

"The Xun family in Yingchuan? I know what's going on." Li Ru smiled, stroking his beard, and explained: "Young master, you should understand that if a family wants to prosper for a long time, marriage is the only way for each family to marry each other. Wang Xiao is his The eldest son, Wang Beichuan, has found a good match, and she is a young lady from the Xun family. This visit from the Xun family should be to discuss the marriage."

"Since it's a marriage discussion, it should be the Wang family who sent people to the Xun family. Now it's the other way around. It seems that the marriage is not going well." Shen Ning immediately saw the problem.

Li Ru nodded and agreed: "Wang Xiao and Xun Kang were colleagues back then, and they made this marriage with their fingertips. If Xun Kang's daughter was ordinary, there would be no problem with this marriage. But I heard something about it. This young lady of the Xun family is extremely talented, and she is very likely to oppose the marriage."

"The Wang family and the Xun family must not be allowed to marry! If it is impossible, kill the Xun family!" Shen Ning narrowed his eyes, and a murderous desire suddenly rose in his heart.

Li Ru said: "Don't worry, young master, I will ask Wang Beifeng and ask him to investigate the people coming from the Xun family."

At this time, the Southeast Palace was full of excitement.

Sima Yue, the southeast king who hadn't shown up for a long time, appeared. He looked haggard and haggard, and he couldn't walk on his own.

Because Sima Yue was ill, the birthday celebrations were shortened, and only some important people were allowed to celebrate their birthdays, while others were exempted.

The last person to celebrate his birthday was Yao Ziduan sent by King Qi.

I saw him holding a brocade box, came to stand under the hall, said with a smile: "My servant, Yao Ziduan, is ordered by Prince Qi, and congratulates the prince for being as blessed as the East Sea and longevity than Nanshan."

Sima Yue nodded and said with a smile: "General Yao, you're being polite. I'll wait for this king to say hello to King Qi. I haven't seen you for many years. I hope King Qi will live a long life."

At this time, Jiang Xiao had already taken the brocade box from Yao Ziduan, opened it and presented it to Sima Yue.

When everyone saw the gift, the scene suddenly fell silent.

It turned out to be a coffin carved from black jade.

Yao Ziduan explained with a smile: "My lord, this means that the coffin is in good luck. Do you like the implication?"

Everyone was so angry that they didn't dare to kick, they were really afraid that Sima Yue would pull Yao Ziduan out and chop him up in a fit of anger.

But Sima Yue was not angry, but said: "Thank you King Qi for the congratulatory gift, I like it very much, so I accept it."

Yao Ziduan bowed his hands and thanked him, but he was also relieved in his heart.King Qi disgusted him on purpose, and Yao Ziduan had no choice but to follow suit, so his life and death just now were really a matter of Sima Yue's thought.

Seeing that the birthday celebration was over, a general in military uniform came to the door and asked to see Jiang Xiao. This move attracted the attention of many people.

"What happened?" Sima Yue asked.

The person who came was the general of the garrison of Pengcheng, and he definitely didn't dare to disturb the birthday banquet if it was nothing serious.

Jiang Xiao called this person in.

The name of this person was Wei Zhuang, and he cupped his hands and bowed: "I bow down to the lord, and I wish the lord the sun and the moon to be prosperous, and the song and the crane to be Changchun!"

"Okay! Seeing that you are in a hurry, what happened?" Sima Yue asked.

Wei Zhuang knelt down and said hastily: "Damn the lowly job, I've bumped into the joy of the prince's birthday, the lowly job should die!"

"It's okay! Get up and talk." Sima Yue asked.

Wei Zhuang said truthfully: "My lord, a homicide occurred 28 miles west of the city. Wang Canghai's family, together with the guards, totaled [-] people, big and small, all of whom were killed!"

"Oh?" Sima Yue was taken aback for a moment, completely unaware of this, and immediately turned his gaze to Wang Xiao.

Wang Xiao was startled when he heard the sound, and hurriedly asked: "General Wei, what did you say? I didn't hear clearly just now."

"Report to Mr. Wang, Wang Canghai's family was killed, the murderer has escaped, and his identity is unknown." Wei Zhuang said again.

Wang Xiao's face changed drastically, and he said, "How could such a thing happen!"

The others also looked at each other and whispered.

Wang Xiao realized that he had fallen into a trap, so he hurriedly said: "My lord, such a tragic murder happened, I have to go and see for myself"

Sima Yue said: "Lord Wang, please go ahead."

Wang Xiao bowed his hands and retreated, leading the people to leave in a hurry.

While the birthday banquet continued, the palace hosted a banquet for the guests, and Sima Yue went back to rest.

"Did you send someone to do it?" Sima Yue lay back on the bed and asked Jiang Xiao.

Jiang Xiao shook his head, and said: "No! Originally I had this plan, but I was afraid that the killing would interfere with the prince's birthday banquet, so I refused it. I didn't expect that someone would do it."

After Sima Yue coughed a few times, he said with a smile: "Wang Xiao fell into the cesspit now, and his body stinks. Haha, Wang Canghai's third son is enough for him to scratch his head. By the way, you just said that someone from the Xun family is here? The Xun family is not optimistic about it." The marriage with the Wang family has always wanted to call off the engagement, but Xun Kang is still insisting, this time the Xun family is definitely not here to discuss the marriage."

"My lord, Wang Xiao colluded with King Qi, and his intentions were wrong. What happened to him is retribution. But what the subordinates are worried about is the hidden forces. For example, this time, who killed Wang Canghai's family? I have to be careful." Jiang Xiao frowned and said.

Sima Yue nodded and said: "More and more forces are coming to Pengcheng to interfere. Why not send someone from the Xun family this time? Hey, my king's body has made too many people want to move."

Jiang Xiao didn't make a sound, as if he knew that Sima Yue still had something to say.

As expected, Sima Yue's peaceful tone suddenly became cold.

"I ordered that Officer Li Yuanxiao be reinstated immediately and go to Dongguan County to take charge of the overall situation. There is no need for him to come to see me. Let's go directly and tell him that I will give him five months to recover the occupied Dongguan County!"

"Also, after Yao Ziduan leaves Xuzhou, send someone to kill him!"
