discuss? Is there anything to discuss? This is a matter that does not need to be discussed at all. Anyone can settle this account. The two of them just went back to make arrangements for the aftermath. Since they were going to be handed over to die, they had to appease their families, make clear their interests, and transfer all the hatred of these family members to Xiao Rui.
If he fails to deal with the aftermath and carries the reputation of a master who is incompetent and abandons his servants, he will really fall into Xiao Rui's vicious scheme.
There are also Li Junxian and Zhang Liang, who appear to be trying to persuade each other in a friendly manner, but actually harbor evil intentions. In this revenge, Xiao Rui never thought of killing many direct descendants. He just wanted to alienate the servants of these two families. Not to mention the hundreds of people in Jinxiu Tower, even if one person is handed over, it is just a spark, and maybe it will work one day.
Xiao Rui played a bad role, while Li Junxian and Zhang Liang played a bad role, either threatening or admonishing, urging the two families to hand over the people from Jinxiu Tower.
The death of hundreds of servants of Jinxiu Tower would not hurt anyone, but it would cause instability in the clan. No one would dare to sacrifice their lives for the clan in the future. The death of hundreds of family members is really heartbreaking, but it can bring about the stability of the family and the unified hatred of the whole family towards Xiao Rui. If the clan leader were to do the math, he would probably choose to sacrifice these hundreds of people to save the people of Jinxiu Tower.
Unfortunately, this is not a simple fight, but a complex human life incident. Those arrested in Luoyang were not just some ordinary collateral descendants, but also many direct descendants, and even the clan leader's biological brother were among them. Who could watch his biological brother being killed? For how many servants?
So they chose to admit defeat, spent money to appease their servants, and handed over all the people in Jinxiu Tower.
"Master Marquis, according to your request, all 307 people in Jinxiu Tower are here. Please also keep your promise and release the detained people." Lu Huisheng was like an eggplant beaten by frost, completely wilted. Do you have the arrogance you had before? He suddenly aged ten years.
Xiao Rui clapped his hands, "Yes, it's refreshing. I also keep my word. Wouldn't it be fine if I had been so refreshing earlier? So many lives have been lost in vain."
Lu Huisheng's eyes were full of hatred, and he said in a deep voice: "They were all judged and executed by the Marquis according to the law. They fell under the law of the country and were not innocent."
oh?
"It's rare for your Excellency to understand justice well and be able to kill relatives with justice. Just after this incident, we can also see that among the Fanyang Lu family and the Xingyang Zheng family, there are many people who have gone astray. As a famous family with a thousand-year heritage, we should pay more attention to family. The cultivation of middle school students is the key. If you only focus on making money and neglect your virtues, and the gold and jade will be ruined on the outside, haha, wouldn't you be living up to the great reputation of your ancestors?"
Xiao Rui mocked with a fake smile like a smiling tiger.
Lu Huisheng said coldly: "Thank you for your concern, Mr. Marquis. Our children have our own clan laws to strictly control them, so I don't need to worry about it. Mr. Marquis, on the other hand, you are young and in a high position, and you act wantonly and are so domineering. I suggest you You should be careful with your words and deeds, and don't make a mistake and break the law someday, and end up with a ruined reputation."
Xiao Rui cupped his hands and said: "Thank you for your advice. Xiao Rui keeps a clean mind, which is different from the children in your family."
"Farewell!"
"General Li, send this to me."
After sending the visitor away, Prince Li Chengqian asked: "Brother-in-law, do you really want to kill everyone in Jinxiu Tower?"
"What? Are you soft-hearted? Did they mistreat you back then? No one seemed to treat you well?" Xiao Rui was curious.
Li Chengqian shook his head and said: "It is true that no one treats me well. But after staying in there for so many days, I also learned a lot of things. In addition to those tricky stewards, many people like me were trafficked and miserable. Although later He was tamed by Jinxiu Tower and became a lackey and accomplice, but the actual crime did not lead to death."
Xiao Rui smiled, nodded and praised: "You are a good boy. I only knew you were arrogant and domineering before, but I didn't expect you to be so kind-hearted. My brother-in-law likes you more and more."
Li Chengqian scratched his head in embarrassment and said: "I used to be young and ignorant. I followed them around all day long. I just thought it was great to stand high above the stars. Only when I went out for a trip did I know what the real world was. When I was in the East Palace, I was surrounded by liars. , there are no good people.”
Xiao Rui thought for a while and said: "I didn't intend to kill all these people. Sometimes, killing is the stupidest way. It might be more useful to leave this group of people unkilled."
"Ah? Brother-in-law, I'm confused by you. Killing is the stupidest way, so why did you kill so many people? At least hundreds of people died in the past few days, right?" Li Chengqian asked.
Xiao Rui explained patiently: "The killings these days are to force them into the trap, and they are a thunderbolt method. Now that the people from Jinxiu Tower have been obtained, and our goal has been achieved, we can naturally let those people go. This moment and the other moment .”
"I treat the people of the two surnames more harshly, just to intimidate them. But the people of Jinxiu Tower? If I wanted to kill them, I would have killed them all after you escaped. Why wait until now to settle the score?"
"My purpose in seizing the people in Jinxiu Tower is not to kill people, but to suppress the reputation of the Lu family and the Zheng family, and at the same time divide and disintegrate them from within."
"Now they must think that I will kill the people in Jinxiu Tower to set an example and avenge you. But I chose not to kill them and left some people behind to remember this hatred."
Hold a grudge?
Li Chengqian whispered: "Brother-in-law, let them hold grudges and retaliate against us in the future?"
After knocking his little head, Xiao Rui laughed and cursed: "Stupid! Spare their lives, they will not hate you and me, but they will hate the master who abandoned them. With them walking in the world, more people will be encouraged to fight for Lu. The people who work hard for the Zheng family are shaken, haha, this is a scheming move."
Oh...brother-in-law, why are you so bad?
puff……
Xiao Rui gave him a hard blow, "Am I bad? Why don't I avenge you? Have you forgotten that they were chasing you? Your little servant dares to chase you? That's because the person behind it wants to kill you."
Ahem...Li Chengqian stuck out his tongue.
Zhang Liang was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and thought to himself that Mr. Hou is really capable of scheming. After a second thought, he said worriedly: "Master Hou, we let a group of people go to spread rumors. But the Lu family and the Zheng family will take action, aren't they just hundreds of people? If they are killed with ruthless hands, wouldn't it be useless?"
Xiao Rui burst out laughing, "That's exactly what I want them to kill. That way they will die faster."
"If these people die at our hands, their families will hate you and me. But if they die at the hands of the master, who will they hate? There is no shortage of fish that slip through the net. There are so many people and so many family members. , they can’t kill them all without leaving any traces, right?”
"It doesn't matter, we can help leave traces..."
Hiss...Vicious, too sinister.
Those who are left behind will bear grudges against the host family and spread rumors to cause trouble. If you kill them to avoid rumors, you will completely lose the loyalty of your subordinates and die faster. No matter which choice you make, it's wrong...
Zhang Liang couldn't help but steal a glance at Xiao Rui, thinking that the Marquis was too scary and must not be his enemy.
Li Junxian said worriedly: "Master Hou, after this scene, you have offended these two families to death."
"Haha, without this matter, would they have made friends with me? Sooner or later they would have faced each other." Xiao Ruihun didn't care.
In the past few days, the threshold of the Lanling Xiao family has been almost trampled, and they are all here to ask questions, but how can the Lanling Xiao family control Xiao Rui? Before they could respond, things in Luoyang came to an end. The Lu family and the Zheng family compromised, and the champion Hou Xiaorui interrogated the fugitives from Jinxiu Tower in the street, killing more than 150 people to avenge the prince.
The prince was kind and pardoned the remaining innocent people and allowed them to return to the common people.
For a time, word spread in Luoyang that the prince was kind-hearted and the champion was ruthless in his revenge. The Lu family and the Zheng family abandoned their subordinates and were looked down upon...
Zhang Liang and Xiao Rui inevitably spread these things secretly. In fact, everyone would spread it like this without spreading it. They just want to spread it faster. Of course, they need to cook the oil in a fierce fire and take advantage of the situation to make up for it.
Something happened in Luoyang, Zhang Liang reluctantly said goodbye to Xiao Rui and his party. Although he didn't get any substantial military merits on this trip, he worked hard and made friends with the champion. At the same time, he also gained the favor of the prince and prince. Maybe he can also gain a sense of presence with his majesty. No matter what he thinks, Earned.
The Cui clan of Qinghe also received the news from Luoyang. The Cui clan leader lowered his eyes and sighed: "The champion, what a move to kill people and kill people's hearts! He is indeed worthy of his reputation. Wherever he is, there will be wind and rain. Alas, he came after us. Yes, this person is acting out of the blue, how should we deal with it?"
