Chapter 165: Small Courtyard Murder(1/2)
...
The attic arranged by Pingyang is only separated from the birthday party by a small courtyard. ≤,
This was the attic she specially chose, with the purpose of opening the attic door outside when Fang Zhengzheng screamed in pain.
So, when Pingyang made such a shocking sound in the attic, those who were sitting at the birthday party naturally heard it clearly.
For example, Duan Wang Lin Xinjue, and for example, Han Changfeng, the commander of the Imperial Academy.
Even Chi Guyan, who was far away in another small courtyard, heard Pingyang's voice, and looked curiously towards the attic with a star-like gaze.
"What happened to Pingyang that shameless thief...?"
Chi Guyan's first thought was that Pingyang should have suffered some losses in Fang Zhengzhi's hands. This was not beyond her expectations. But she was a little curious about what losses Pingyang suffered, and how could he scream so badly?
After hearing Pingyang's voice, Duan Wang Lin Xinjue and Han Changfeng quickly exchanged glances, and both of them saw the murderous intent flashing in each other's eyes.
As for the other guests, they all looked at the loft opposite quickly.
Then, they all saw the maids, soldiers and servants kneeling all over the floor in the small courtyard in front of the attic.
They don't understand what's going on.
but……
But they all heard Princess Pingyang's words: "Fang Zhengzheng, I must kill you!"
So, their eyes naturally fell on a young man in a blue gown standing at the door of the attic, because that person was Fang Zhengzheng.
...
Fang Zhengzhi, who had just escaped from the attic, naturally heard the sound. He was a little curious. Who was the girl who took off her clothes in the attic?
Why can the other party call his own name?
Do you know her by yourself?
While thinking about this, Fang Zhengzhi recalled the way he saw the girl in the attic just now, and he felt that the girl seemed familiar in his heart, especially his clear eyes that made him feel extremely familiar.
Of course, Fang Zhengzhi doesn't have much thought to consider this issue now.
Because there was a bigger problem in front of him.
He saw the maid, sergeant and servant kneeling all over the yard.
Naturally, it is impossible for these people to kneel down.
So……
There is only one possibility, these people are kneeling on the girl in the attic.
This is not difficult to guess. Fang Zhengzhen has been wandering in Yanjing for some time. He knows very clearly that people in this world have extremely high class ideas.
Recalling the scene in front of the mansion, when the girl was dismissed, everyone seemed to have a strange look of horror, and then, as the girl rushed to the attic, they all followed her desperately.
At that time, he didn't think too much, but he subjectively thought that the acrobatic girl was embarrassed after falling out of the horse, while the maids were busy preparing for the birthday party.
Looking back now, he suddenly seemed to understand something.
That girl was not acrobatics, but the real master of Pingyang Mansion!
Only this reason can explain the scene in front of you.
Then, the truth is that when these people saw the girl falling off and getting wet, they followed behind in panic. Then, after arriving at this attic, they knelt down one by one.
It did not disperse directly.
Such attitudes and practices mean that everyone is waiting for the punishment of inadequate protection.
Did the owner fall in his own courtyard?
As a servant, he did not protect his master as soon as possible.
This is sin!
In this world, even if the master accidentally falls off the horse, the servants and maids will not be able to kneel down for a long time, with the purpose of taking responsibility for the master's mistakes.
This is the difference between the superior and the subordinate.
Fang Zhengzhi doesn’t like this class concept very much because, in such a society, no matter how well a servant does, he may be killed because of his master’s temporary displeasure.
No reason is needed.
Just like myself, she was born into a civilian in the mountain village.
Then, no matter how talented you are, you will not be valued by some aristocratic families and the powerful people in the court. They will prefer some aristocratic families with equal identities as them. This is a kind of arrogance that comes from the bones.
No children of aristocratic families have ever believed that they are equal to the civilians in the mountain village.
Just like a human and a dog, no matter how smart a dog is, it is a dog after all. People will only think that it is a smart dog and will not really treat it as an equal as a human.
In the eyes of children from aristocratic families, there is not much difference between civilians and dogs born in poverty and humble mountain villages.
An era is a world.
Fang Zhengzhi understood this truth, and the former village chiefs of Nanshan Village Meng Bai and Li Zhuangshi also understood this truth, so they tried their best to take the Taoist examination.
Because they want to get rid of this fate.
Pass the Taoist examination, enter the court and become a superior person!
Of course, Fang Zhengzhi and Li Zhuangshi and others had different ideas. He understood this truth, but he did not agree with this truth, the sinisterness of the court dispute and the darkness in the officialdom.
He doesn't have to experience it, he can understand one or two.
so……
All along, Fang Zhengzhi's thoughts were to pass the Dao Dian exam, win the "fame" of this world, marry another wife, and go home to live a leisurely life.
Free and leisurely.
These have always been the ideal of being upright. For this ideal, he needs a lot of things, such as silver...
However, Fang Zhengzhen now has to face a difficult problem.
It seems that my life is in danger!
because……
After a moment when the sound was made in the attic, Fang Zhengzhi saw that the soldiers who were originally kneeling on the ground had already stood up together, and then there was a crisp and neat sound of drawing swords.
The cold light flashes.
Fang Zhengzheng’s first idea is that it’s time to run away.
However, this idea soon became disillusioned not long after it arose, because, in addition to the sergeants who rose in the yard, more sergeants were already pouring in like ants outside the yard.
The soldiers were dressed the same as the soldiers in the courtyard, but their weapons were not very the same. They were carrying a white feathered bow and arrow on their backs.
"Swish!"
The neat sound of bowstrings sounded.
In the blink of an eye, the three rows of archers' iron bows were pulled up directly. On the wall of the courtyard and the entrance of the courtyard were densely packed.
Too fast...
Just like I had been waiting around the courtyard secretly, the changes in this scene were absolutely rapid, and the training of these sergeants was extremely good.
The air seemed a little depressed, and the sky filled the small courtyard with murderous aura.
Not far away, there were rumbling footsteps, and obviously, there were subsequent soldiers rushing towards this side quickly.
Fang Zhengzhi didn't know that these soldiers were prepared by Ping Yang.
However, there was a small deviation in the plot. Originally, these soldiers were planning to grab Fang Zhengzhi out of the attic after he jumped out of the bathtub, and then hit several big boards in front of the guests.
But now...
Their purpose is to siege Fang Zhengzheng.
Fang Zhengzhi didn't know this, but he knew that with his strength in Amaterasu Realm, he had almost no hope to get out of such a predicament.
...
The officials and children of aristocratic families who were sitting at the birthday party naturally saw this scene.
However, no one took a step forward, nor did one move from the seat. They were all used to the changes in this occasion, because most of their mansions also had such sergeants.
Although it is not as well-trained as the Imperial Guard of Pingyang Prefecture.
But this does not affect their mentality of watching the fun.
One by one, one thought arose in their hearts. They suddenly thought of the rumors not long ago that Princess Pingyang sent someone to send money to Fang Zhengzhi every day.
And now...
But he wants to kill Fang Zhengzheng.
Did you deliberately use silver to lead Fang Zhengzhi into Pingyang Mansion?
With Princess Pingyang’s rights, is it necessary to spend so much effort to do such a small thing? What kind of achievements and demerits are there in it?
No one understands, but if Ping Yang really could kill Fang Zhengzhi, this might be something that most of them would be happy to see.
To be continued...
