Dugu Chen took a look at the prison uniform on his body and understood deeply.
He has fallen into the abyss and is beyond redemption!
After Liang Xiao took him into prison, he only had prison clothes on his body and did not carry anything else.
This means...as long as Liang Xiao destroys his body and eliminates all traces, it will be impossible for the outside world to find any clues about him!
Perfect!
How could such a cautious person spare his own life, suffering from long nights and many dreams?
"Liang Xiao! I admit defeat, please let me live!"
Dugu Chen knelt down and begged, but there was only a muffled sound in response.
A sheathed dagger was thrown to the ground by Gu Pingxiu.
"Do you want to look decent yourself, or do you want the Marquis to help you look decent?"
Gu Pingxiu shouted mercilessly, shattering Dugu Chen's last hope.
Dugu Chen's hand that picked up the dagger was trembling, and he stared at Liang Xiao, gritting his teeth.
"Liang Xiao, even if I turn into a ghost, I won't let you go!!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Dugu Chen suddenly lunged forward and stabbed Liang Xiao with his dagger.
"Crack!"
Liang Xiao casually drew out the Longquan sword from his waist, ducked and beheaded him with one strike.
Dugu Chen's body fell heavily, and his head rolled to the ground. His eyes were filled with shock.
This sword strike was so fast that he didn't even have time to see Liang Xiao's move clearly, and Jiuquan was killed.
Xuanwei, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately swung his shovel and put the soil stained with Dugu Chen's blood together with Dugu Chen's body into the cart and came to the prepared fire.
There are all kinds of oil and firewood around, which is enough.
Liang Xiao personally supervised the burning of Dugu Chen's body until only his ashes were left, which were shoveled up by Xuanwei and scattered along with all the ashes to the river bank, where they dispersed in the wind.
Not to mention the ashes, not even the footprints or horse hoof prints of Liang Xiao and his party were left at the scene.
"Master Marquis, this is almost a blow to the bones. There shouldn't be any clues left." Gu Pingxiu rarely laughed heartily.
In the past, the Gongyang family, the Dugu family, the Tuoba family, and the Duanmu family were the top four families in the Great Zhou Dynasty. The four families united together and were placed in the former dynasty, which was enough to subvert the imperial power.
Gong Yangjing, Dugu Chen, and Tuoba Jun are recognized by the family as the "Three Heroes" of the new generation.
Today, three people are dead and one escaped, and there is still Gong Yanglei living happily in Jiangnan.
"This Dugu Chen does everything possible. If he is not eradicated soon, given time, he will definitely be a powerful enemy of the Great Zhou Dynasty. I am not afraid of this person, but other colleagues may not be able to deal with him." Liang Xiao looked solemn.
"We know that the Marquis has great foresight and has done a great job!" The Xuan guards praised him one after another.
Liang Xiao sighed in his heart: To do this kind of thing, you need Xuanwei...
The setup this time is somewhat dark.
Yanyun's Eighteen Riders were loyal to him, but this time he didn't take them with him, so as not to pollute the pure hearts of those eighteen children.
A young scholar from Jiangbei was regarded by the Dugu family as the most outstanding talent in a century. His soul died at the hands of Liang Xiao, and he ended his career with regret.
The Xuan guards followed Liang Xiao and vaguely heard Liang Xiao's whispers.
"who is the next?"
Damn it?
Even Xuanwei, who was accustomed to darkness, couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat.
Which unlucky guy is he?
On the second floor of the inn, Duanmu Yunqing and his wife Nangong Ning were impatient.
"Beihu people robbed prison?"
Everyone who received the news looked confused.
Nangong Ning said weakly: "Could it be that they intend to take over Mr. Chen..."
"Perhaps the Beihu people are worried that he will reveal some important information?" Duanmu Yunqing was depressed.
Duanmu Yan paced back and forth, her face pale, and she looked at her cousin Duanmu Yunqing.
"Second brother, if this happens, wouldn't the Dugu family..."
This time Dugu Chen came to Yanzhou and fell in love with her, and they even had a physical relationship.
She proved to Dugu Chen that she was not inferior to Mu Qinxue.
As a result, Dugu Chen was rescued by the Beihu people?
Now Duanmu Yan is a little at a loss.
Anger, worry, fear, panic...
"Now there are rumors going against you, so you should protect yourself first!" Duanmu Yunqing smiled helplessly.
Duanmu Yan remained silent, but wanted to cry but had no tears.
This time, the scholars in the academy had different opinions after returning.
Most of the scholars have come to their senses and turned to denounce her, Dugu Chen, and Dongye Luoyue.
Dongye Luoyue was protected by his father, and Liang Xiao gave Dongye family face, so he escaped.
When she and Dugu Chen face a public reversal, how is it different from being ruined?
"Why did those scholars listen to us in the past?" Duanmu Yan was puzzled.
Aren't those scholars all disciples of their aristocratic families?
"How did I know..." Duanmu Yun's face was ashen and his breathing was disordered.
Nangong Ning frowned and said, "How about we go back to Beijing, and Yanyan, you go back too!"
After saying that, Nangong Ning was a little worried and said in a trembling voice: "No...he will return to Beijing sooner or later. We must be prepared. If he returns to the capital, we will go to Jiangnan..."
Duanmu Yunqing and Duanmu Yan looked at each other and smiled bitterly.
In the past, Nangong Ning only had endless hatred for Liang Xiao.
Now, there is only fear and just want to escape.
However, Liang Xiao's methods of manipulating public opinion and dealing with crises were beyond their understanding, and the people's support in Yanzhou was no longer the same as before.
Stay here, there are many dangers!
Duanmuyan gritted her teeth and said, "But I'm not willing to give in!!"
Duanmu Yunqing quickly comforted: "There will be others to deal with Liang Xiao. After all, Liang Xiao killed Gongyang Lei, how could the Gongyang family's Eight Dragons let him go? Maybe Gongyang Jing is already on his way to Yanzhou!" "
The two of them were surprised and happy: "If the eight dragons of the Gongyang clan come out together, why should they be afraid of Liang Xiao?"
Dazhou, Nanyang County.
Gongyang stood guard outside Zhuge's house, impatient.
After a while, the door of Zhuge's house opened, and the servant rolled his eyes at Gong Yangjing impatiently and dropped a bunch of words.
"Mr. Gongyang, my young lady has returned to Beijing with the old lady. She wants us to tell you: She already has a heart. Please stop harassing her."
"Zhuge Yun has someone in mind??" Gongyang Jing's expression changed. He looked at the heavily closed door and was filled with jealousy. "Is it Liang Xiao? She is knowledgeable and reasonable on the surface, but in fact she has a sense of boundaries and never says a word to outsiders. talk……"
Gong Yangjing remembered the rumor that Liang Xiao wrote the poem for Zhuge Yun, praising her beauty.
"Unfortunately, poetry and poetry are not my specialty, but only by subduing the Zhuge family can I truly control the court..."
"Go to the capital and have a look!"
After making up his mind, Gong Yangjing arranged a carriage overnight to drive out of Nanyang County and pursue him to the capital.
In the lobby of the Dongye family, Dongye Luoyue knelt in front of Dongye Xuanji, with tears streaming down his face and burning pain on his face.
After Higashino returned home, he slapped her. This was the first time in her life that she had been slapped by her father, but she did not dare to complain and suffered silently.
"Marquis Lanling is a good official who loves his people as his own children, but you believed Duanmuyan's story and almost trapped the Dongye clan into injustice!"
Dongye Xuanji was furious and was about to continue scolding when an urgent report came from outside.
"Master! The government reported that Dugu Chen has escaped from prison!!"
