Chapter five hundred and forty-ninth murder and silence
"Third Master, Miss Mingyue has gone to bed." From the Dugu Mansion Villa in the east city, an old nun came running to report to Dugu Moyu who looked worried.
"Very good, you did a good job, go down to the housekeeper to receive the reward!" Dugu Moyu glanced at her and said.
The old woman was overjoyed when she heard this, but she still hesitated and said: "Thank you very much, Mr. Mingyue. It's just that Miss Mingyue rarely spends the night outside the main residence. If the eldest master and his wife ask, what should I say?
?”
Dugu Moyu had obviously already thought of her words: "You just mean that Yue was tired from playing and fell asleep in another courtyard."
Only then did the old grandma retreat.
Miss Mingyue's name is Dugu Mingyue. She is the jewel in the palm of the Dugu family. She is the youngest daughter of the current head of the Dugu family, Dugu Luo. She is the kind of child that comes from old age. She is beautiful and cute. She has been smart and lovable since she was a child. Therefore, not only is Dugu Luo doted on her very much
Uncles and uncles such as Dugu Changsu and Dugu Moyu also loved it very much, especially Dugu Mingyue's more than ten brothers who treated it like a treasure and took care of it all day long.
Before Boduo Dharma King set out this afternoon, he specifically ordered Dugu Moyu to find a way to trick Dugu Mingyue from the Dugu Lord's Mansion and stay in another courtyard to prevent Dugu Changsu from being assassinated. Dugu Luo was unwilling to give up his position as head of the family to Dugu Moyu.
, when the time comes, he will threaten Duguluo with the life of the girl.
…
…
After the old lady beside Dugu Mingyue left, Dugu Moyu paced back and forth in the study with his hands behind his back. For half the night, he was waiting for the news that his second brother Dugu Changsu had been killed, but the news never came. Although
He also knew that it would not be possible so soon, and the news would not come until at least midnight, but when this thing was about to happen, he finally lost his patience.
Two different emotions, worry and expectation, intertwined in Dugu Moyu's heart, making him a little upset and restless. It was already past Haishi. Should Dharma King Bodo and his party be back?
At this moment, footsteps came from outside, and Dugu Moyu was pleasantly surprised. He stepped forward and opened the door, and saw Bodo Dharma King walking in wearing a black robe and covered with bloodstains, followed by twenty people who were also covered in bloodstains.
Many dead soldiers.
"Succeeded, you know what to do next!" King Bodo glanced at Dugu Moyu, and then went to the place where he lived. There were eight flower-like maids assigned to him by Dugu Moyu, ready.
After getting hot water, he went to wash away the blood stains, change into clean clothes, and prepare to enter the palace to see the Sui Emperor.
"You have made great achievements today, and each of you will be rewarded with one hundred acres of fertile land and five hundred taels of silver. The east courtyard has prepared food and wine for you. You go to eat first, and then clean up. I will arrange for someone to give you the land deed and the silver."
Go over." Dugu Moyu suppressed the ecstasy in her heart and said to the more than 20 dead soldiers who saluted him.
As soon as these dead soldiers left in great surprise, Dugu Moyu summoned a confidant and asked: "Are the drinks and food in the east courtyard ready?"
The confidant said in a low voice: "Don't worry, Third Master, the wine and dishes are filled with Hedinghong. I promise to kill them all."
Dugu Moyu nodded and said: "You have done a good job. Go to the housekeeper and withdraw five hundred taels of silver as a reward."
The confidant was overjoyed when he heard this and saluted respectfully: "Thank you, Third Master. I have resigned from my humble position."
After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave, but as soon as he turned around, he felt a sharp pain in his heart. Before he could scream, his mouth was blocked by Dugu Moyu's hand. He looked down and saw a knife tip coming out of his chest.
With a look of despair and disbelief on his face, he was killed on the spot.
"Don't blame me. Except for His Holiness, everyone who knows about this matter must die." Dugu Moyu slowly placed the corpse of his confidant on the ground, with a trace of guilt flashing in his expression.
At this moment, a close guard ran over with a face full of panic, and was stunned when he looked at the corpse on the ground.
Dugu Moyu said quickly: "He is a traitor planted by the enemy around me. He actually wanted to assassinate me. He has been killed by me. Please clean up his body later."
"Yes, Third Master." The guard looked at Dugu Moyu with a strange look on his face, agreed, and then suddenly remembered what he wanted to report, and said with a look of panic: "Third Master, it's not good, Second Master is taking the
Hundreds of guards and two thousand city guards surrounded the other courtyard, and the second master asked you to go out and see him."
"What, the second brother brought someone here, are you sure it is the second master?"
Dugu Moyu's face turned pale, and he staggered and almost fell to the ground. The sudden news seemed to make him miss his footing, and he was so shocked that he could hardly breathe.
"This must be an illusion. This damn guard is lying to him. His Holiness the Dharma King just said that he has already killed the second brother." Dugu Moyu murmured to himself.
"I can see very clearly that it is indeed the Second Master." The confidant guard said with certainty.
Dugu Moyu was in a state of confusion, but when she thought about why her second brother was still alive, all the people on her side who had assassinated him were dead, so she felt a little more at ease and said to the close guard: "Go and guard the person outside the door first.
Report the news to His Holiness the Dharma King, and then go to the east courtyard, where there are more than twenty traitor assassins who have been poisoned by me. Throw all their bodies into the dry well in the backyard, and then seal the dry well."
The confidant guards saw Dugu Moyu's solemn expression and even a hint of panic. Although they felt that something was fishy, they did not dare to ask more questions, let alone be negligent, so they agreed and ran away.
Dugu Moyu suppressed the uneasiness and panic in his heart and summoned more than a dozen close guards to follow him outside the mansion.
This courtyard of Dugu Mansion has been surrounded by more than 2,000 people. In addition to the 500 guards of the Dugu family, there are also 2,000 city guards to assist Dugu Changsu in his actions.
More than two thousand people held torches, illuminating the front door of the mansion like daylight. Dugu Changsu held the family head token in his hand, with a cold gaze. On the steps of the mansion gate, more than a dozen guards at the door did not dare to stop them. They knelt down, but
In order to avoid unnecessary casualties and allow King Bodo to take advantage of the chaos to escape, he did not rush in with anyone.
At this time, someone shouted: "The Third Master is here!"
The door opened, and Dugu Moyu walked out quickly, followed by more than a dozen confidant guards. He forced a smile on his face, stepped forward and asked: "Second brother, what are you doing..."
Before he finished speaking, his expression changed because he saw the Patriarch's Token in Dugu Changsu's hand. This is something that only the Patriarch can hold.
Dugu Changsu looked at Dugu Moyu with a complicated expression and said: "Third brother, you have been controlled by the monster Bodo Dharma King with sorcery. You tried to send him to the palace to do harm to His Majesty, and he actually asked the monster to lead someone to assassinate me.
!”
Dugu Moyu's body was trembling and shaky, her face was pale, and she screamed: "Second brother, you are talking nonsense, I didn't..."
ps: I’m deeply sorry for the two updates in two consecutive nights, especially to the brothers who support me and vote for me, so no matter how late it is, even if I have to get up early to go to work tomorrow, I must do it tonight.
