It was a chaotic day, so Baozhu and the others had no choice but to leave first. Qi Junce gave a few instructions to General Ling, and General Ling fled in a hurry with Lin Qi.
The Lu family, a prominent family in Songjiang for centuries, fell into decline. None of those who secretly participated in poisoning Lu Zhiwen escaped.
But it is worth mentioning that Lu Zhixiu was not poisoned by Lynch. Perhaps it was not poisonous enough, or perhaps it was a fluke, but Lu Zhixiu saved his life.
But what is sad is that at the best age of his life, he became a cripple who could only move his upper body and was paralyzed in bed.
I heard that Mrs. Wang’s cries spread throughout the alley that night.
The tragedy of the Songjiang Lu family's wedding night has finally come to a preliminary conclusion. But it is true that the Lu family poisoned Lu Zhiwen, and it is also true that Lin Qi poisoned Lu Zhixiu to avenge her husband, so Lin Qi was also imprisoned.
Late at night, Baozhu knocked on Qi Junce's door with a plate of purple rice cakes.
"Come in." Qi Junce's voice sounded, and Baozhu opened the creaking door and walked in.
Qi Junce didn't like places with bright candles, so he just lit a few in front of the case. Qi Junce put up Lin Qi's wedding clothes and was watching them carefully.
Bao Zhu rolled his eyes. If he hadn't known the cause and effect, he would have thought that Qi Junce was a pervert who peeked into women's clothing.
"This Lu Zhiwen is really determined to defeat the enemy..." Qi Junce murmured, not knowing whether he was talking to Baozhu or to himself.
"But there is something unclear about me," Baozhu picked up the grapes on the table and put them into his mouth. The grapes from Songjiang were sour, which wrinkled Baozhu's face.
"What?" Qi Junce replied without turning around.
"Why does Lu Zhiwen want to help us?" Bao Zhu asked the biggest doubt in his heart.
There is no reason. As a rich man with the most profitable business in his family, how could Lu Zhiwen be willing to reveal something that would be equivalent to breaking his own arm?
"Because," Qi Junce said quietly, the candlelight dancing on his face, with a hint of solemn weirdness.
"I actually know," Qi Junce turned around, his deep eyes always made Baozhu tremble a lot. "I know what crime they committed and the full story."
Baozhu's hand ready to twist the grapes hung in mid-air, looking at the uncertain Qi Junce with some confusion.
"Then why did Your Majesty come all the way to Songjiang?" Baozhu asked.
Qi Junce gently put down the candlestick and reached out to touch Baozhu's porcelain-white face. Baozhu's watery eyes looked at him meekly.
He tilted his head, feeling the roughness of the cocoon in Qi Junce's palm. Qi Junce's eyes were filled with desire.
"Because I let Lu Zhiwen choose whether his family will die and the Lu family will live. Or will others die and the big family will be the only one in the future?" Qi Junce's voice sounded in Baozhu's ears, tickling Baozhu's heart.
"So," Baozhu felt Qi Junce approaching her neck, and her breathing became confused. "Lu Zhiwen actually chose to let others die and live alone."
Qi Junce placed a passionate kiss on Baozhu's ear and cheek, and carried her to the table. While breathing heavily, he squeezed out the word "um".
Baozhu chuckled and put his hands around Qi Junce's neck. "It's just that Lu Zhiwen didn't expect that the Lu family had planned his death early."
Baozhu tilted his head, accepting Qi Junce's tilted desire and continued: "It's true, the mantis stalks the cicada and the oriole follows behind."
Qi Junce raised his head from exploration and put his forehead against Baozhu's head. Baozhu could feel the trembling of his body.
"Then how do you know that Lu Zhiwen's death was not an accident?" Qi Junce said with a cryptic expression.
Something strange flashed through Baozhu's heart. Qi Junce's city was so deep that Baozhu didn't even dare to say that his charm was at work.
Qi Junce still treated her like a plaything, just accompanying her to have fun. He is always so elusive that people dare not guess.
"Your Majesty, do you mean that you deliberately let the Lu family and Lu Zhiwen fight with each other so that you can profit?" Baozhu asked cautiously.
With a slight smile on his lips, Qi Junce leaned down and got close to Baozhu, who was breathing heavily.
"What do you think?" Qi Junce's voice was like a ghost in the abyss, making the originally lingering and ambiguous atmosphere become weird.
Goosebumps appeared on Baozhu's body, and even the fingertips holding Qi Junce's neck felt slightly cold.
A terrible thought arose in her mind, maybe the Lu family, Lu Zhiwen, including Lin Qi who risked everything for Lu Zhiwen.
In fact, it is nothing more than a plaything used by Qi Junce to speculate on people's hearts when he has nothing to do...
And Lu Zhiwen's death was by no means a seamless murder as the Lu family thought. It would have been a secret code that only Qi Junce and him knew.
How could it be leaked?
There must be someone who did it on purpose, and that person was Qi Junce.
He deliberately revealed that Lu Zhiwen wanted the other branches of the Lu family to be buried with the salt tax, forcing them to have no choice but to poison Lu Zhiwen.
And he deliberately asked Lu Zhiwen to reveal information to Lin Qi, so that Lin Qi, who was deeply in love with Lu Zhiwen, would take risks to avenge her husband.
Nowadays, the Lin family and the Lu family are in chaos, and the salt tax matter, which was originally a fig leaf, is unimpeded.
From beginning to end, Qi Junce's hands were clean. What a good one, killing someone with a borrowed knife.
As if the tangled thoughts were finally sorted out in Baozhu's mind, Baozhu's eyes widened, not daring to turn around and look at the man in lust.
Just when Baozhu's whole body was going stiff, there was a swish sound, and a short knife tied with a rope broke out of the window and came straight towards the two of them.
Qi Junce, who was still immersed in the joy of fish and water just now, burst into action and kicked away the dagger with a raised leg.
A black shadow enveloped the night and jumped in from the window.
Qi Junce pulled up the orb, protected it behind him, and shouted to General Ling.
Baozhu listened carefully and heard the sound of fighting in the courtyard. "Your Majesty, I'm afraid there is more than one person." Baozhu said.
Qi Junce's face was gloomy, and the corners of his mouth were raised but full of disdain. "Presumptuous, do you know who I am!"
The masked man in black didn't look scared, even a little excited.
"You are the tyrant emperor who stole other people's kingdoms!" The man in black shouted, and Bao Zhu broke into a cold sweat.
It seems that this person came well prepared, and his purpose was to kill Jun Ce.
Qi Junce was obviously irritated. He roared and started fighting with the man in black.
But they suffered from the lack of weapons and gradually fell into disadvantage. Baozhu's heart was about to jump out of his chest and he groped back.
In the originally dark room, two extremely skilled people were fighting so hard that they couldn't tell each other apart for a while.
Soon Baozhu's back touched the cold wall, and sweat broke out on his forehead.
I just want to live a stable life, so don't explain it here.
Baozhu was a little upset and hit the wall on one side hard. But he also found a long sword hanging on the wall.
Baozhu took off the long sword and pulled it out of the scabbard. Fortunately, it was sharpened.
At this moment, Bao Zhu seems to have no time to care about her Qi Jun's plan. Is it to give him the opportunity to immediately retire and become a concubine after his death?
It is better to work hard and make a bold move, and you will definitely have a place in your heart.
But when Baozhu looked at Qi Junce, whose arm had been scratched, he felt that there was still a high chance that he would be buried with him.
Taking a deep breath, "Your Majesty, take the sword!" Baozhu shouted.
Qi Junce had a tacit understanding with Baozhu's gesture of throwing the sword. He took it steadily and headed straight towards the chest of the man in black like a broken bamboo.
The man in black dodged in time, but his upper arm was still opened with a bloody mouth.
The man in black screamed in pain, looking at Qi Junce with eyes that almost made him bleed.
"Say," Qi Junce's long face was dripping with blood, and he pointed at the man in black and said coldly. "Who sent you here?"
The man in black felt as if something had been broken, and he started laughing wildly, "It's the soldiers who were killed by you who came to claim their lives!"
Then the two began to engage in a fierce battle again, but it was obvious that Qi Jun's plan in the second round was more successful. The attack just now had already disrupted the position of the man in black.
Baozhu clutched the veil tightly, fearing that her life would also be buried with Qi Junce.
Just under the dim light, an invisible figure quietly approached Qi Junce.
Baozhu's eyes quickly caught the different blackness and shouted: "Your Majesty, be careful!"
Before Qi Junce could turn around in time, the blade of the second man in black was already shining with cold light.
Baozhu didn't know where the courage came from. He opened the lid of the incense burner with one hand, grabbed a handful of still warm incense ashes and threw it towards the man in black.
The second man in black couldn't dodge, so he covered his eyes and wiped them frantically.
Seeing that the orb had ruined his good deeds, the first man in black moved towards the orb with his knife that was originally aimed at Qi Junce.
Baozhu was horrified and fell to the ground with an exclaim. Seeing that there was still some incense ash in his hand, he threw it away regardless.
Thanks to the handful of incense ash, the man in black's sword was deflected by a few points and still penetrated Baozhu's shoulder.
Baozhu felt something cold pressing against his shoulder, and when he lowered his head again, he saw a sword buried in his shoulder.
Everything happened too fast, Qi Junce kicked the man in black away. The sword on his shoulder was suddenly pulled out, and blood surged out instantly.
Baozhu was so frightened that his mind went blank, and he trembled and covered his shoulders, but hot blood slipped out from between his fingers, and Baozhu froze in place.
General Ling Xiao also broke in at this moment, and together with Qi Junce, they subdued the first man in black. Baozhu seemed to see corpses scattered in the courtyard.
"Your Majesty, please stay alive!" General Ling stopped Qi Junce who was about to stab the man in black through the heart.
Qi Junce withdrew his sword angrily, but the man in black sneered, and the next second he tilted his head and started bleeding.
General Ling pulled off the mask of the man in black and took a breath.
"Your Majesty, you should have placed poison under your tongue in advance. In order not to be caught by us, your subordinate is incompetent, so please punish him!"
General Ling knelt down and said, Qi Junce threw away his sword angrily, without answering him, turned around and rushed towards Baozhu who was lying on the ground.
"Why are you so stupid? Do you know how to protect yourself first?" Qi Junce said angrily.
Baozhu looked at the concern in his eyes, which was the most difficult emotion to conceal. Now, now, is the best moment to occupy Qi Junce's heart in one fell swoop.
"If something happens to His Majesty, I will never live alone." Baozhu held up his weak breath and vomited it out before losing too much blood.
The moment before she fell into coma, she saw the moving love in Qi Junce's eyes.
