Ji Sun Yiru looked at Yang Hu with a look of horror on his face. He knew Yang Hu's character and it would be fine if he didn't do it. If he did, he would kill decisively and without regard for the consequences.
In desperation, he thrust out his sword again, but Yang Hu easily blocked it again.
Ji Sun Yiru took the opportunity to lean back and with a kacha sound, he knocked out a gap in the back of the carriage and rolled off the carriage.
Since Yang Hu was tall, he couldn't get through the crack, so he had to kick the crack wider before jumping off the carriage.
Ji Sun Yiru had already run a hundred steps away. Seeing this, Yang Hu suddenly threw away the sword in his hand and went straight towards Ji Sun Yi Ru.
With a whoosh of the sword, Ji Sun Yiru's right leg was cut open, and blood immediately dripped from it. Ji Sun Yiru was in pain and immediately rolled to the ground, turning sideways to hold the injured area.
Yang Hu rushed over and picked up the sword on the ground. Ji Sun Yiru lay on the ground, facing Yang Hu, put his hands on the ground and moved back, while Yang Hu kept approaching.
"Tiger! If you kill the Lord, how will you gain a foothold in the Lu Kingdom in the future?"
Yang Hu curled his lips disdainfully:
"If my lord does not die, Tiger will not be able to stay in the Lu Kingdom!"
While talking, Yang Hu's dead soldiers had already been killed. Ji Sun Yiru wanted to say something more, but one of the dead soldiers didn't say anything and stabbed out a spear from behind, giving Ji Sun Yiru a heart-wrenching blow. cold.
Ji Sun Yiru didn't even have time to react. He groaned and blood flowed from his mouth and nose.
This can be said to be the largest powerful minister in the history of Lu State, and it was in this place called "Fang" that the curtain came to an end.
Perhaps because he was caught off guard, Ji Sun Yiru refused to die with his eyes closed. Yang Hu leaned down and confirmed that Ji Sun Yiru had died, then reached out and pulled down his open eyelids.
"Master, don't blame Yang Hu for being ruthless. In fact, Hu learned all these skills from the master."
Yang Hu tidied up Ji Sun Yiru's body so that at least it appeared that there were no external injuries. He changed his clothes again, and then placed the body on the carriage.
Shu Niu originally suspected that Yang Hu was up to something evil, but when Yang Hu and Ji Sun Yiru gradually distanced themselves from him in front, he suddenly felt that something was wrong.
Therefore, he immediately stepped up his pace. However, when he learned that something had changed ahead, he made a decisive decision, turned the car around, and decisively chose to run away again.
Because Shu Niu knew very well that if Ji Sun Yiru died, drastic changes would happen to the Lu State in the future? And if he was still staying in the State of Lu, the only thing waiting for him would be liquidation.
It has to be said that Shu Niu's sense of smell for this kind of crisis is extremely sensitive, which may be regarded as a kind of talent.
Yang Hu, on the other hand, was not in a hurry to spread the news of Ji Sun Yiru's death. He just said that he was seriously ill and needed to rest in the house. The body was frozen on the ice.
He also said that the head of the family occasionally contracted a serious illness and no one was allowed to visit.
After Guan Cong learned the news in Qufu, he immediately rushed to the room and met Yang Hu.
Yang Hu looked at Guan Cong with a half-smile, then bowed and said:
"Thank you, Brother Guan, it's done!"
Guan Cong actually came because he had guessed that Ji Sun Yiru was dead, so he was not surprised.
"Brother Yang is keeping the news of Ji Sun's death secret for the time being. This is a wise move. Now, it's time to consider how to deal with his funeral affairs!"
Yang Hu was very convinced of Guan Cong. He felt that Guan Cong's several suggestions were simply cutting to the chase. Because of this, Yang Hu also admired Li Ran more and more. He really didn't expect that besides generals like Sun Wu, Li Ran would have such a scheming person beside him!
"I wonder what Brother Guan has to say?"
Guan Cong smiled slightly and replied:
"We can use the funeral of the Ji family to find other reasons to destroy the Ji family's name. On the other hand, we can also use this to purge the party loyal to the Ji family and kill them all!"
"In this way, Brother Yang can sit back and relax and be able to control the Ji clan! Brother Yang's long-cherished wish is right in front of us!"
After hearing this, Yang Hu couldn't help but fantasize and became even more excited.
"Haha, it's all planned by Brother Guan. I'm afraid I still need Brother Guan's guidance on this matter."
Guan Cong waved his hand and said with a sly smile:
"Haha, please forgive me, Brother Yang, for my inability to do anything. Guan Cong is from Chu. Although he knows some Zhou rituals, he only knows them but doesn't know why. This matter must be handled by someone who is proficient in Zhou rituals! "
When Yang Hu heard this, he not only looked embarrassed.
"It's just... In the Lu Kingdom, the Confucian scholars who know these complicated things are not Yang's confidants, and Yang is not very proficient in these things... Where can I find such talents?"
Guan Cong smiles confidently.
"Brother Yang, could it be that he has forgotten... Kong Qiu and Kong Zhongni who are now in Yunyi?"
When Yang Hu heard this, he nodded immediately:
"That's right, Zhongni is a Confucian and must be proficient in this. How could Yang forget about him in such a short time? It's just that... the two of us were somewhat at odds before, so I'm afraid he won't come to help me... …”
"Haha, brother Yang, don't worry. You can write a letter and ask Zhongni to come and take care of this matter. My lord has always hated the Ji family. He will definitely let Zhongni come and take care of this matter. Brother Yang, just don't worry. .”
Yang Hu pursed his lips and thought for a moment, then accepted Guan Cong's suggestion. He immediately wrote a letter and ordered it to be sent to Yunyi.
…
The Ji family in Qufu also immediately sent someone to come after learning that Ji Sun Yiru was "seriously ill". Ji Sun Yiru's son Ji Sun Si also arrived at the property and wanted to visit his father.
However, Yang Hu forcibly blocked him out, saying that the head of the family was critically ill and could not see anyone. Moreover, as the heir, Ji Sunsi could not put himself in danger and enter such a dangerous place.
After several days of delay, Yang Hu announced that Ji Sun Yiru had suffered a serious illness in his "fang" and had not been paid.
According to Yang Hu's previous statement, Ji Sun Yiru died of the plague, so he prepared a coffin on the spot, buried Ji Sun Yiru's body in it, and began to bring ice cubes from Qufu in an open and honest manner.
The reason why Yang Hu did this was simply to prevent others from doing an autopsy. As long as no one checks, naturally no one will know the truth that Ji Sun Yiru was killed by him.
Ji Sun Yiru's coffin was transported to Qufu, and Yang Hu even used the plague as an excuse to prevent Ji Sunsi and others from approaching Ji Sun Yiru's body, so they could only watch from a distance.
There were mourning halls all over Ji's house, and Yang Hu sent his servants to work there. After all, Ji Sunsi was still young, and Yang Hu had watched him grow up, so he didn't dare to say anything about Yang Hu's actions.
What's more, Yang Hu has been busy with state affairs in recent years, so he has entrusted Yang Hu to handle all the affairs of the Ji family. Therefore, everyone in the Ji family is only afraid of Yang Hu and not afraid of Yang Hu. Afraid of him, the young master.
At the same time, another retainer, Zhong Lianghuai, who had been at odds with Yang Hu before, felt that there must be a reason why the master of the family died so mysteriously, and Yang Hu did not let anyone get close to Ji Sun Yiru's body.
So, he immediately proposed to open the coffin for inspection!
Yang Hu glared at Zhong Lianghuai and narrowed his eyes again, revealing a murderous aura.
