Aziz had fallen very hard just now, otherwise the dagger would not have completely penetrated his heart.
When the small porcelain bottle hit the ground, it hit the ground violently and broke into pieces. Even if you pick it up, you can't put it back together.
As for this man who was sighing and picking up broken pieces of porcelain, Zhao Rang was very familiar with him and was no stranger to him at all!
"Why is this person..."
Yuan Mingkong was halfway through speaking, but did not continue.
"Why does this man look so much like a eunuch?"
Zhao Rang helped Yuan Mingkong finish what he said. Yuan Mingkong looked at him in surprise and asked:
"You think so too?"
Zhao Rang smiled helplessly and twisted his stiff neck:
"Have you forgotten where those two portraits came from?"
Of course Yuan Mingkong would never forget it.
He and Zhao Rang were in the clothing appraisal shop and looked at the two portraits in the brocade box, and they were poisoned. If it weren't for the pool of blood on his body, which calmed the mind, the two of them would have died in the illusion array...
In the final analysis, Yuan Mingkong felt that everything that followed was caused by these two portraits.
But it doesn't make any sense to say this now... One of the people in the portrait is dead.
"You said that the portrait was brought back from Lotus Alley. It was the bearded man who asked you to go to Lotus Alley."
Hearing what Yuan Mingkong said, Zhao Rang scratched his head and thought about it carefully, but he couldn't tell whether he had said it or not.
"He gave me the portrait."
Zhao Rang pointed at Manager Li who was still picking up broken pieces of porcelain.
"Is he a eunuch from the previous dynasty?"
Yuan Mingkong asked.
This statement is much more elegant than Zhao Rang's, but in the end it means the same thing.
"Hey! You're still sensible!"
Manager Li held a blue-pink handkerchief in one hand, which contained the broken porcelain pieces he had just collected. He pinched his lotus fingers with the other hand and walked up to Zhao Rang and Yuan Mingkong. 1
"Unlike you, you are very vulgar! I didn't notice it when I was playing with the hidden hook. If I had known you were like this, our family wouldn't be interested in playing with you at all!"
Zhao Rang suddenly became angry after being reprimanded for no reason by the rootless man.
Why did the eunuch of the former dynasty... Yuan Mingkong, the well-behaved and powerful seventh prince, respect these eunuchs of the previous dynasty so much? The reason why the previous dynasty died was because of their efforts! Therefore, the great and powerful founder of the country established a rule that no eunuchs could exist in the palace or in the palace, which was considered to have completely abolished the profession of eunuchs.
"Manager Li, if you want to talk like this, then we have to be reasonable!"
Zhao Rang imitated Manager Li's neutral tone and said.
Manager Li sneered and said:
"Ouch! Do you still want to reason with me? Let me tell you, I am the reason here!"
As soon as these words came out, Zhao Rang and Yuan Mingkong immediately fell silent.
Manager Li obviously meant what he said.
"He is the reason here."
Could it be that the leader who turned the Western Regions upside down was actually a former eunuch who was both male and female?
Zhao Rang did not accept this in any case... Whether it was in terms of appearance or personality, General Manager Li was too different from the leader he thought he was.
"What are you thinking? Aren't you going to argue with our family? Why don't you talk?"
Zhao asked the Zhengtian people to fight, but Manager Li continued to ask questions.
"General Manager Li, should I call you Leader Li?"
Zhao Rang asked tentatively.
The identity of the leader has always been a mystery, and no one has revealed it.
Amani and Hong Jiang stayed in the hall for so long, but they didn't say anything about the leader.
Thinking about it this way, the leader is most likely to be Manager Li!
As a eunuch of the previous dynasty, he was purified since childhood and sent to the palace, where he saw and listened to a lot. Later, he even became his godfather to the then chief steward. He was deeply liked and respected, and he mastered many secrets of the inner court.
When the dynasty was at its peak and wise kings emerged in large numbers, these did not show much. But in the troubled times of the last years when almost everyone was revolting, it would be worth a hundred thousand swords and soldiers.
These eunuchs have long lost the joy of being men and put all their energy into other aspects, such as making money!
After three years of clearing the magistrate's office, he received one hundred thousand snowflakes and silver. But the eunuchs in the inner court were one step ahead of the emperor. Many things have been placed on his desk before the emperor has seen them. In other words, as long as you serve your master well and don't be so greedy when making money, your life will be much more comfortable than that of the prefects outside.
"Haha, our family can see it. You kid, it's not that you are vulgar, you are too tender! You are so tender that you can squeeze out water!"
"It's just different now! If it were in the past, our family would have thrown you into that nest, kept you out, and looked at people accurately, and every word you spoke would have touched people's hearts!"
When Zhao Rang heard these words, coupled with Manager Li's neither-male nor female appearance, he suddenly felt his stomach churning and felt nauseous...
But he couldn't really spit it out.
These old eunuchs are all descendants. The body is disabled and the brain is abnormal. The lack of worries makes them extremely ruthless and insidious in their behavior. They can dig a hundred pits in just three sentences and push you to jump into them!
"Isn't this place still available?"
"It's long gone! If you are willing, you can get one. If you do it well, I might consider not killing you!"
Manager Li said with a smile.
Zhao Rang asked:
"Isn't it Lotus Lane?"
Manager Li frowned and said with disgust:
"Is that a place?"
"Come, come and see!"
After that, Zhao Rang could not help but walk to the edge of the water pavilion.
"Come and see!"
Zhao Rang couldn't resist him, and Manager Li's voice was shrill and high, which was really uncomfortable to hear, so he had no choice but to walk to where he pointed and look outside.
"on fire!"
In the direction that Manager Li pointed, thick smoke billowed straight into the night, and the rising flames tore a hole in the night.
Many people rushed to tell each other on the street and wanted to put out the fire, but they were all stopped by heavily armored sergeants and could not get closer.
"You see, that place won't exist after tonight!"
Manager Li smiled proudly, this kind of chaos could bring him great happiness and satisfaction.
"Did you burn Lotus Lane?"
Although Zhao Rang didn't know the road, he could tell from Manager Li's expression that the place where the fire was burning was Lotus Lane in the Northwest Market.
In Lotus Alley, there are not only the old and young who fled from the previous dynasty, but also many poor people in the royal city. Zhao Rang thought of the stall at the entrance of the alley, the child who showed him the way, and the old man who wrote letters during the day and made clay figurines to sell for money at night.
The heavily armored sergeant blocked the fire-fighters, and of course he would not let them escape from the fire scene.
This fire will burn many innocent people to death!
"Boy, don't look at me like that, I'm not afraid of retribution!"
As Manager Li said, he reached out and grabbed his crotch.
According to Dawei, people with physical deficiencies will not even have the chance to be reincarnated after death.
When a person has no respect for death, there is no need to expect him to be kind to the living.
Zhao Rang stared at this face and felt that this should look like the eighteenth floor of the area stacked up.
He took a half step back in a subtle manner, allowing Manager Li to be just a knife's length away from him.
Manager Li looked at Zhao Rang quietly, motionless.
Suddenly, Zhao Rang pulled out the black steel knife and slashed at Manager Li's neck without any warning.
No matter whether he is the leader of the theocratic religion or not, and no matter what he has done before. This fire alone is enough to conclude that he is a person full of evil. Even if he couldn't get out of this water pavilion today, Zhao Rang would kill him.
After the knife was cut off, there was still blood on the blade.
Zhao Rang shook it slightly, and a series of blood beads rolled down from the blade to the ground.
But there was no trace of joy on his face.
Because Manager Li was still standing there calmly, with his head still firmly on his neck.
But there were three more corpses between him and Zhao Rang. 1
Two people's heads were cut off completely, and one person had half of his neck cut off, leaving some skin and flesh attached.
When Zhao Rang's blade was about to touch Manager Li's neck, three strong men suddenly rushed over desperately and stood upright in front of Manager Li.
Zhao Rang's sword was already irreversible. Even if he didn't want to, there was nothing he could do.
But these three people, as if begging for death, faced Zhao Rang's blade and took the initiative to send their necks up.
In the end, Zhao Rang's knife did not kill the murderer, but killed three innocent people.
"You can avoid it yourself, so why do you let them die for you?"
Zhao Rang's throat was very dry, which made his voice sound particularly desolate.
"Their lives have long been ours, and we can let them die anytime, anywhere!"
"But...if you hadn't used the knife just now, wouldn't the three of them have died?"
"You complained righteously about setting fire to our family, but you killed three people as soon as you drew your sword. What's the difference between you and our family?"
After saying that, Manager Li waved his hand, and all the other strong men gathered around him.
"What do you want, you old hermaphrodite?!"
Ximen Dazhuang was furious, fearing that General Manager Li would use the crowd to do evil to Zhao Rang.
But before he could stand up completely, a jade hand with slender fingers pressed down on his shoulder.
The huge force came, and Ximen Dazhuang was in great pain. His knees, which had not yet been straightened, bent down again and sat back on the chair.
"Little fat boy, stop making trouble!"
The person who took action was Hong Jiang.
Ximen Dazhuang couldn't understand how she could reach out and hold his shoulder even though she was half a foot away from him.
Although the strong men gathered around him, they did not do anything to Zhao Rang. Each of them was deaf and mute, and could only act according to gestures.
When everyone gathered around, Manager Li said:
"Since we are all the same people, we can always sit down and talk, right? We are a little tired after standing for so long."
Zhao Rang was stubborn and ignored Manager Li's words.
After such a delay, Manager Li made a gesture of wiping his neck to a strong man next to him.
Without saying a word, the man took out a short knife from his waist and immediately slit his own throat. He covered his neck and fell to the ground, twitching...
"you……"
There were people who put a knife on his neck and forced him to do so, but this was the first time Zhao Rang had encountered someone using the lives of others to force him to submit!
"Would you like to sit down and talk now?"
Zhao Rang gritted his teeth and squeezed out the word "good" from between his teeth.
After hearing Zhao Rang's agreement, Manager Li waved his hand with a smile, and the group of strong men immediately dispersed and stood back to their original positions.
As for the corpses on the ground, no one came to clean them up.
"Manager Li, I also agreed to sit down and talk. Do you want those four people to be buried in peace?"
Zhao Rang felt very sorry for the deaths of those four strong men.
They had their eardrums pierced and their tongues cut off, which was really pitiful enough... and now they lost their lives in such a confused way.
"Someone will take care of it!"
Manager Li picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea.
His tea cup is his own.
Zhao Rang didn't pay attention to the person serving him tea at first. It wasn't until he noticed that the person seemed to be smiling at him that he looked up.
"Zhang San?!"
"Master, do you want tea?"
What Zhang San said didn't change a word from before, but his tone and expression lacked the previous flattery and fear.
"Hahaha!"
Zhao Rang laughed and said:
"Drink! You asked, but if you don't drink, wouldn't it be disrespectful to you!"
Zhang San agreed and turned around to make tea.
Manager Li's eyes once again showed pride and satisfaction, exactly the same as when he saw the fire in Lotus Alley just now.
He was very satisfied with Zhao Rang's current chaotic state, so for the first time, he did not call Zhao Rang boy, but called him Mr. Zhao.
"Mr. Zhao, do you know why the leader invited you to the banquet?"
Zhao Rang glanced at Manager Li and said:
"Manager Li can make the decision for the leader, why do you need to ask me?"
Manager Li touched his beardless chin, tilted his head slightly, and said to Hong Jiang and Amani behind him:
"Go and present the leader's gift."
When Hong Jiang and Amani heard Manager Li's arrangement, they immediately acted on it. Looking at the backs of the two of them, Zhao Rang always felt an indescribable awkwardness.
There should be many unusual things between them and Manager Li, maybe even hatred.
Temporary interests can only bring them together temporarily, and this alliance is extremely fragile. Just a slight tilt in the balance can cause them to begin to fall apart from within.
"Open it and take a look."
Not long after, Hong Jiang and Amani placed a brocade box in front of everyone with their names written on it.
"The leader's work is really confusing. There is no title or signature on the invitation, but the gift he gave me has his name written on the outside of the box!"
Manager Li patiently explained:
"The words on the invitation are all the same, but the gift is different for everyone. Of course, the name must be written clearly!"
Zhao Rang asked:
"Everyone's gift is different?"
Manager Li nodded and said:
"Yes, the leader specially prepared it. Everyone is different."
Zhao Rang sighed and said: 166
"Then I don't want it anymore! Everyone has a different gift. I definitely won't like such a gift."
Manager Li was so angry that Zhao Rang raised his nose and asked in a sharp voice:
"You didn't even open it and take a look, how do you know you don't like it?"
Zhao Rang said calmly:
"The last time I opened such a brocade box, I almost lost my life. Manager Li, since you can make the decision for the leader, then it's a pleasure. Don't let me see the fire one moment and open the brocade box the next!" 1
