Chapter 18 Hire a murderer!

"Dad, mom...it hurts me so much...lulu!"

"Be gentle...be gentle...huh!"

Late at night, in the Li family’s ancestral home—in the dormitory.

Li Chong and Li Fei brothers were lying on the Hu bed with bare shirtless, like two white pigs with shaved hair. Another old doctor with white hair was concentrating on reducing the joints of the two.

The process of resetting the dislocated joint was extremely painful. The two fat men's screams never stopped, which was even louder than killing pigs during the Chinese New Year... That night, the pigs in Qianlonggang all suffered from insomnia, and they were scared!

After more than an hour of so busy, the old doctor was exhausted and sweated, and finally cured the two fat men. Li De and Zheng hurried over to check. After all, they were their own sons, so they felt very distressed.

"Dr. Liu, how are the dogs injured?"

"All joints are reset, there is no big deal, but..."

"But what?"

"The joints on the two young men were removed by extremely rough techniques, which seriously damaged the meridians. In the future, when it was cloudy and rainy, it would be sore and painful, extremely uncomfortable, and you could no longer do strenuous exercise, otherwise the joints would be easily dislocated."

"Oh...it hurts so much...help!"

After the joint was reset, Li Chong and Li Fei were trying to stand up. They learned that they would be entangled with endless pain in the second half of their lives. They were excited and used too much force. As a result, one of them dislocated the left leg twice and the other his right leg twice, both of them fell to the ground. As a result, several joints were dislocated. They rolled all over the ground in pain, crying and calling for their parents.

Such things will be firmly accompanied by their lives. Not to mention strenuous exercise in the future, even taking a key point, walking faster, or sneezing may cause joint dislocation.

In a word, the two fat men are considered useless!

After a while, Doctor Liu was busy for a while, then he reset the joints of the two fat men and told them to rest well and not move around in the short term. He left a few plasters to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, and then said goodbye and left.

After seeing off the old doctor, Li De and Zheng returned to the lobby with a gloomy face and began to interrogate their two unlucky sons...

"Say, who hurt you?"

"This... I don't know!"

"What, don't know?"

"Dad, we really don't know, it's just like that... Woo woo!"

"Two wastes, don't cry, just explain the matter clearly!"

...

Faced with the parents' questions, the two fat men did not dare to hide anything, and lured Li Zhao to Caotang Temple, preparing to interrupt him, but they were knocked out in a confused manner, and then removed the joints of the whole body, and they described it without any fault.

After listening carefully, Li De and Zheng looked at each other, and their eyes were filled with shock. Although there was no direct evidence, they vaguely felt that most of the incident was related to Li Zhao, because the injuries of the two sons were too similar to those of Butler Huang before, and their joints were removed!

This happens once, perhaps by chance.

If it happens twice in a row, it is inevitable!

Over the years, the couple has been thinking hard about how to kill Li Zhao and then permanently occupy this family business!

Seeing that Li Zhao was seriously ill and dying, he thought he would not live long before, so the couple relaxed their vigilance and took their two fat sons to the county town for a happy and happy life, thinking that they could collect Li Zhao's body when they came back.

Unexpectedly, a few months passed, and not only did not die of illness, Li Zhao was alive and had great changes.

First, they inexplicably deposed Butler Huang, and made the couple lose face in front of the guests, and couldn't even raise their heads when they went out. Now they have cheated Li Chong and Li Fei brothers, making them ruined the rest of their lives.

It is impossible for a dull person to become smart all of a sudden. There is only one explanation: Li Zhao is not stupid at all. He used to pretend to be stupid and self-protection, and his acting skills are superb, so he deceived everyone!

At a young age, he had such a great scheming. If he was allowed to grow up, he would not have to eat a living person alive?

"Husband, that kid is just a wolf cub. He must be removed as soon as possible, otherwise there will be endless troubles!"

"Mrs. Is it reasonable, but how can I get rid of this scourge?"

"How about poisoning the food? Just a small bag of arsenic will ensure that the boy will die!"

"It's inappropriate, this plan is too obvious and it's easy to cause trouble!"

Zheng proposed to poison, but Li De shook his head and refused. It was not that he couldn't bear it, but that it didn't work!

The incident at the birthday party before has caused people to talk a lot, making the couple very embarrassed and unable to raise their heads when they go out. If Li Zhao was suddenly poisoned and died, it would definitely attract countless people's attention. Once Zongzheng Temple (a yamen specializing in managing the children of the royal family in the Tang Dynasty) sent people to investigate, it would be troublesome. Who can guarantee that they would not show their strength?

The law of the Tang Dynasty: Those who kill will be killed immediately!

It’s not worth it to lose the lives of the family of four in order to kill Li Zhao!

We must think of a plan to make Li Zhao's death more reasonable. It is best not to leave the corpse behind, so that we will not be afraid of Zongzheng Temple's investigation.

"What have you been doing recently?"

"I heard from servants that Li Zhao often went out in recent months, sometimes entering Wu'an County, sometimes entering Zhongnan Mountain, but he didn't know what to do."

"Oh, entering Zhongnan Mountain, isn't that a good opportunity to start!"

Li De was indeed very cunning and soon came up with a vicious plan, which was to send someone to assassinate when Li Zhao entered the mountain. There was no one in the mountains and forests, so he was not afraid of being seen.

Moreover, after killing people, even destroying corpses and traces are not needed. Some of the forests are wild animals, which can be eaten in half a day, and even bones will not be left behind. If someone asks, it will be said that Li Zhao encountered a beast when he entered the mountain. This is a typical example of seeking death by himself and not being blamed on others.

But a new question is here, who will be the executioner?

Li De's family of four looked at each other. They all had the heart to kill, but they didn't have the ability to kill. Moreover, the risk of such a thing is too great, so it is not advisable to come forward in person, and it is better to ask others to do it for you.

The people in Guanzhong are fierce, swordsmen and raiders are everywhere. As long as you are willing to pay, it is no problem to hire a few killers!

"Hou Si, come in."

"The villain has met his master and mistress, and I don't know what instructions do you have?"

"Hou Si, how many years have you been following the head of this family?"

"If you go back to your master, it's been twelve years."

"Oh, then how did my family leader treat you in the past twelve years?"

Hou Si is a clever ghost. When he saw Li De's family of four sleepless late at night, he called himself over again. There must be something big to do, and this matter must be shameless, and there are still great risks. But when it comes to this, I can't show my timidity!

"The villain was originally a dilapidated house with no room and no acre of land. After eating, there was no meal. He almost starved to death on the street. Fortunately, the master, the mistress was kind and kind, so the villain had a full meal. Now he was promoted to the housekeeper in the palace. It is a kindness of the world. The villain had long since sweared secretly that he would serve the master, mistress, and the two young masters. He just told the orders if he had anything to do. The villain would definitely go through fire and water, and he would not refuse!"

Hou Si knelt on the ground, looking loyal, and said something so smoothly. He must have practiced it many times in private.

"Okay, the head of the family did not read you wrong, come over quickly..." Li De put it in his ear and told Hou Si the murder plan he had discussed before, and his expression changed drastically.

I knew there was definitely nothing good, but I didn't expect that I was asking me to hire a murderer, and the one who killed a royal family was still a child. This was a major event that violated the law of the king. Once the government found out, I was afraid that my head would be in danger.

What should I do? Reject it... In that case, the butler's position will not be kept.

Besides, if he knew the murder plan, if he didn't participate in it, with Li De and Zheng's vicious heart, he would be afraid that he would kill someone to silence him?

There is no way, I can only bite the bullet and go!

"Master, don't worry, mistress, the villain must do this matter properly without leaving any flaws!"

"Okay, after the matter is done, I will reward you heavily. I will buy you a small yard, buy 100 acres of fertile land, and marry you a wife. I will never go back on my word. But you must keep your mouth shut and never tell anyone about this. Do you understand?"

"Master, don't worry, the mistress, the villain understands everything."

After talking for a while, Hou Si surrendered and went to find the best candidate to do this.

Li Chong and Li Fei were physically and mentally exhausted, so they went back to the dormitory to rest.

Only Li De and Zheng were left in the lobby. They were not sleepy and continued to discuss the matter, carefully considering each joint to see if there are any loopholes?

"Husband, killing is a secret matter. The fewer people you know, the better!"

"What does Madam mean?"

"Our family members will definitely not betray their own family members, but outsiders may say that I mean, we will send Hou Si to destroy Li Zhao's mouth. For the sake of confidentiality, should we destroy Hou Si's mouth after the matter is completed?"

"Well, the lady is right. You can't stay this survivor. When things are done, find an opportunity to kill someone to silence you!"

After listening to Zheng's suggestion, Li De was shocked first, and then nodded in approval. As the saying goes, a small person is not a gentleman, and a non-toxic husband is not a husband. For the sake of the safety of the family of four, he could only sacrifice the slave Hou Si.

As for how to silence, it is not difficult to reach. The trend of animal slaves in the Tang Dynasty was prevalent, and the status of masters and slaves was even more different. The "Tang Law" stipulates: "Slaves are bitchy, and the rules are compared to animal products!

In other words, slaves and animals are the owner's private property and can be disposed of at will. Beating and scolding is common. Even if they are beaten to death, the government will not interfere.

Even if you ask about it, you can only punish the owner for a few cents of money. It would be better to kill a plowing ox without any reason!

If you find an opportunity, you will kill Hou Si on the charge of "evil slave bullying the master", and it will be over!

The couple were very happy to discuss, but they didn't know that there was something in the wall. There was a man hiding outside the gate and eavesdropping. And it was no one else, it was Hou Si who was about to silence him!

It turned out that Hou Si suddenly remembered that when he was a rogue, he met four cruel swordsmen, who were four brothers, known as the "Four Tigers of Guanzhong" and lived near Wu'an County. It was just right for this matter, but if you want to ask them to take action, you must have a generous "meeting gift"!

Then he returned, wanting to ask Li De and Zheng for some deposit, and need more, so he can take the opportunity to get some oil and water, and he doesn't want to overheard the conversation between the couple. After the matter is done, he not only does not give himself a reward, but also has to kill someone to silence him. This makes Hou Si angry.

He wanted to rush into the lobby and scolded the couple who were heartbroken. He also knew that in this situation, it was really not appropriate to turn against each other, otherwise he would not have the best results to eat.

There is no way, he is the master, he is the slave!

Hou Si had to hold back secretly and quietly retreated. At the same time, he made up his mind: make plans and arrange a way out, but before leaving, he had to make a lot of money.

...

Two days later, the matter was settled. The "Sihu of Guanzhong" was willing to take action, but he asked for a reward of 200 taels of gold, and paid half of the deposit first, and then paid the other half after the matter was completed. (There are half of the benefits of Hou Si)

Two hundred taels of gold are not a small amount, but after Li De and Zheng thought about it, they still bit their back teeth and agreed, handing over the deposit to Hou Si, asking the four tigers of Guanzhong to find an opportunity to take action... At this point, everything is ready, only the east wind is needed!

At the same time, what is Li Zhao busy with?
Chapter completed!
