There is a secret room in the house of Sima Lu, the Minister of Punishment. This secret room is underground and is extremely difficult to find. In his study there is a three-legged stone flower shelf, and on the shelf is a pot of orchids that remain motionless all year round. As long as the
Rotate the flowerpot clockwise once, and a secret passage will appear from the floor. Only Sima Lu knows this secret. Even his wife knows nothing about it.
In this secret room, there are hidden gold, silver and jewelry that Sima Lu has looted from Tan Mo over the years. A wooden box that can hold two large living people. Gold, silver and jewelry are fully filled with eight large boxes. Sima Lu was an official for ten years.
For several years, he has always appeared in front of everyone with an upright and honest image. Even the old emperor Liu Ye once praised him for setting an example for all officials. But who would have thought that such a person would use his position to amass wealth and become a wealthy man?
One side!
This person has a deep scheming mind. Even though he has countless wealth, he is still as frugal as ever. His three meals are only one dish and one soup, he never drinks alcohol, his clothes are always patched, and even the court clothes are patched with two pieces.
Patch, such a person has been like this for more than ten years. Who would have thought that there would be so many gold and silver treasures in his secret room?
Sima Lu's greed for ink didn't start when he became the Minister of Punishment. This man's love for gold and silver has reached an incredible level. Every day, he would take the time to go to the secret room to count the treasures, and every time
He cannot hide his inner excitement and will do things that are incomprehensible. He will kiss gold and silver, sleep with treasures in his arms, and even regard these treasures as his lover and children!
He is greedy for money, not to enjoy rich food and clothing, but to satisfy his inner almost perverted psychology. He loves money to the point of madness, and what he enjoys most is counting his treasures over and over again. Using pure white
of silk scarves, wipe them one by one.
He was greedy for so much gold, silver and jewelry, not for squandering, but just for possession! He was reluctant to spend these things or give them away. Even his wife never knew that her husband-in-law was so rich and perverted.
A person. Sima Lu is gentle and elegant in front of his wife, and fair and strict in the lobby of the Ministry of Justice, but in private, he is a madman with a deformed mentality!
You can slap him in the face, and he won't be too resentful. But if you touch his money, he will try his best to take it back and kill you!
At this moment, Sima Lu was sitting on the floor of the secret room, holding a pile of gold and silver jewelry in his arms, carefully wiping it bit by bit with a white silk scarf. He moved gently, as if what was in his arms was not cold.
of gold and silver, but his most beloved girl.
His fingers gently caressed the gold and silver, as if caressing the smooth skin of a girl. Only at this time, his heart was satisfied.
Seeing the gold and silver treasures in his eyes, Sima Lu's vision was blurred.
"It's all mine, it's all mine! No one can take away what belongs to me, no matter who it is! If you dare to take advantage of these treasures of mine, I will...I will kill you!"
His expression is sometimes gentle, sometimes ferocious, as if he is crazy.
At this moment, the door of the secret room suddenly clicked, and a figure stumbled down. Sima Lu was startled and hugged the treasure in his arms tightly! He turned around suddenly and looked towards the secret passage.
The one who ran down!
"It's you! How did you know the existence of this secret room!"
Sima Lu asked coldly.
The person who came was none other than the man next to Sima Lu who always held a long sword without a scabbard, Peng Zhan, an outstanding figure of the Five Tigers Duan Men Dao generation! But at this time, Peng Zhan no longer had the coolness and coldness of the past.
Half of his face was bloody, and blood flowed from one side of his face, which had dyed his face, neck, and clothes on his shoulders and chest red. On his left shoulder, there was another
Small but transparent wounds from front to back!
The wound broke his shoulder blade and one of his tendons. His entire arm collapsed, and his left arm hung down like a willow branch swaying in the wind.
At this time, Peng Zhan was covered in blood, especially his face. His whole head was like a disgusting gourd of blood. He gritted his teeth and looked at Sima Lu coldly without saying a word.
Sima Lu stared at him and suddenly realized that the reason why Peng Zhan's face was covered with blood was because someone had cut off one of his ears for some unknown reason!
This miserable and ferocious look frightened Sima Lu so much that he couldn't help but take a step back. But then, he hugged the jewelry in his arms harder and asked: "I'm asking you! How do you know the existence of this secret room!"
"
Sima Lu roared.
Peng Zhan smiled ferociously, and he found a chair and fell down. Due to excessive blood loss, his face was extremely pale. The loss of an ear was not a serious injury, but it was the sword on his shoulder that made him extremely painful!
That's right, Peng Zhan vaguely saw that the guard in the white brocade robe suddenly pulled out a long and narrow soft sword from his sleeve at the most critical moment!
It was too fast, so fast that even a master of swordsmanship like him, the descendant of Wuhu Duanmen Dao, who was always known for his fast swordsmanship, didn't see clearly! He didn't see clearly how the sword was thrust out! The one who used the sword
People have reached an unbelievable level! Peng Zhan never wants to meet such an opponent again in his entire life!
While hiding in the grass and soil, Peng Zhan observed the two guards in white and brocade robes. At that time, he felt a little surprised. The moves of those two men using swords were very strange. Stabbing, yes, those two used it the most.
It was actually a stab! The blade was thick and heavy, and was mainly used for basic moves such as cutting, splitting, and whittling, but those two people rarely used it. Now Peng Zhan finally understood that the reason for this was because those two people basically used swords.
!
Whether it's a knife or a stick, in the hands of these two people, they are swords as fast as lightning!
He is cruel! He hates how two masters like this suddenly appeared next to Liu Ling. They were destined to assassinate him, but in the end, he was seriously injured. Not one of the killers he had trained so hard was left. They were all dead.
Those who are caught are caught.
However, he did not have the idea of seeking revenge from Liu Ling again, because he was afraid, afraid of the master who wielded the sword. It was the fastest martial arts he had ever seen in his life!
If he hadn't been alert and always had poisonous dust around him, he would have died today!
He stared at Sima Lu with a snake-like gaze, and then slowly moved his eyes down from Sima Lu's face, and saw the gold and silver jewelry held in Sima Lu's arms. At this moment, a kind of emotion flashed in his eyes.
Deep greed!
Sima Lu was startled by his gaze and took a step back again!
He said tremblingly: "I don't care how you know this place, get out now! Immediately! Immediately!"
Peng Zhan suddenly burst into laughter. He touched the wound with his smile, and then grinned in pain.
"Sima Lu, you are so ridiculous!"
Peng Zhan said with a ferocious face.
"I always couldn't understand it at first. For a person like you, who is not greedy for food, drink, or beauty, and is even reluctant to buy new clothes, why are you greedy for so much treasure? Now I finally understand.
Haha! Sima Lu, you are a madman!"
Peng Zhan stood up with difficulty, supported his body with the long knife stained with his own blood, and said: "Sima Lu, you have such a secret room, I'm afraid even your wife doesn't know about it, right? That poor woman,
To this day, she still firmly believes that her husband is an upright gentleman, but she never imagined that you would be a crazy man who is obsessed with money!"
Sima Lu's eyes turned cold, and he yelled at Peng Zhan: "Shut up! It's not your turn as a servant here to talk too much!"
"Servant?"
Peng Zhan repeated it again and laughed loudly: "Sima Lu, do you really think that your status is noble? If I hadn't helped you over the years, you would have died countless times. In which case has everything been exposed?
When there were signs, wasn't it me who killed people and silenced them for you? Just like last time, the prisoners on death row who were intercepted by Prince Zhong Liu Ling from the street, except for the fateful guy who was brought back to the palace by him, if I hadn't been there, those other people
I have helped you solve the problem secretly, how can you, the Minister of Punishment, still be able to do what you are today?"
He struggled to take two steps forward, looked directly into Sima Lu's eyes and said: "Servant? Without me as a servant, how could you have this house full of gold and silver? How many murders have you committed over the years?
What happened to Dongfang Lunri, the richest man in Taiyuan City? Others don’t know what happened, but I still remember it clearly!"
"That time you were a guest at Dongfang Lunri's mansion. When you saw his magnificent home and the table full of gold and silver that he gave you as a gift, the greed in your eyes couldn't escape my eyes.
! On the surface, you are honest and fair, and you sternly rejected those treasures, but in fact, you secretly began to plan how to take away all the wealth from Dongfang Lunri! Poor Dongfang Lunri, I still admire your character, how ridiculous! "
Sima Lu's body trembled, and there was unconcealable fear in his eyes. With a sway of his body, all the treasures in his arms fell to the ground. Sima Lu was startled, and hurriedly knelt down to pick up the jewelry randomly. He
While picking it up hurriedly, he shouted at Peng Zhan: "Get out! Get out of here!"
Peng Zhan moved two steps forward again, and said with a contemptuous smile: "Master Sima, look at yourself, how ridiculous and pitiful you look now!"
He raised his foot and kicked, and a simple bronze mirror inlaid with jewels was kicked in front of Sima Lu. Sima Lu grabbed the bronze mirror fiercely and wiped it with his sleeves. His expression was extremely flustered.
, but also with a kind of disgusting fanaticism.
Peng Zhan said contemptuously: "Sima Lu, how many people have you killed over the years? Do you still remember it?"
Sima Lu stiffened, and the movements of his hands suddenly stopped, and then his expression gradually calmed down. He gently placed the jewelry in his hand on the ground, and slowly stood up straight. He looked at Peng
He cut off the wounds on his body and said with a sneer: "I would like to know, who can injure you, the number one master of the younger generation of Five Tiger Broken Gate Swords, like this? Are you in pain now? Are you feeling angry? The wound is still there.
It's bleeding, do you want me to bandage it for you?"
Peng Zhan was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect why Sima Lu suddenly calmed down.
Sima Lu walked slowly to a table. He turned around and looked at Peng Zhan and said, "I have wronged you over the years. You have helped me a lot, but you have received very little. It is because I am too stingy. Like this
Well, there is good gold sore medicine in this table, I will help you stop the bleeding first. Then... you can choose some of the treasures in this room, then go away and never come back again!"
Peng Zhan looked at Sima Lu coldly, and said with a sneer: "Will you give it up? Sima Lu, no one in this world knows you better than me, not even your wife! If I am not wrong, there is no one in that table
There is no golden cure for sores at all, there is just poison for killing people! Do you want to kill me?"
He took a step forward suddenly, shook his body, and pointed a knife at Sima Lu!
"Sima Lu, I have known for a long time that you have such a secret room, but I have resisted coming here. Do you know why?"
Peng Zhan sneered and said: "Because... I'm not in a hurry. Everything in this room, including your life, is mine!"
Sima Lu panicked, he opened a drawer suddenly, grabbed a box of poison powder and was about to throw it at Peng Zhan. However, as soon as he turned around, a sharp long knife came to his chest.
With a pop, the knife pierced through the chest!
The knife in Peng Zhan's hand penetrated Sima Lu's heart. He looked at Sima Lu's face who was close at hand, smiled ferociously and said, "Do you know why I was injured? Because I went to kill Prince Zhong Liu Ling.
.Originally you asked me to kill Pei Hao, but early this morning Pei Hao was taken to the palace by people from Prince Zhong's palace. I left late. But if I can't kill Pei Hao, I won't get your promise.
My reward. So... So I might as well kill Liu Ling directly! If you can't kill the younger one, I'll kill the older one for you, so that you can give me more money! Right?"
He looked at Sima Lu's face and the incredible expression on his face.
"How good have I been to you? Why do you still want to kill me?"
Peng Zhan said coldly: "In order to help you kill people, look, I was injured like this. I lost an ear and lost an arm. How are you going to compensate me?"
A mouthful of blood overflowed from Sima Lu's mouth. He looked at Peng Zhan's face coldly, as if he wanted to remember the hateful appearance of this man before he died!
"Hey, Sima Lu, don't look at me like that, you should know. You love money, I love money more than you! Although I didn't help you kill Liu Ling, I was injured, and this whole room
Just treat the treasure as your compensation for me. How about it? Lord Sima? Don’t worry, after I take your money, I will do things for you. I will... help you kill the person you have been afraid of all these years.
, the master behind you! I know that you have always wanted to kill him, but you just didn’t dare to do it, right?"
He chuckled: "I'll help you, I'll help you kill him."
Sima Lu suddenly smiled with disdain on his face.
He opened his mouth and a stream of blood flowed out. His lips trembled and he said two words.
