Datang: My apprentice is Princess Changle

Chapter 338 Poisoning
Chapter 338 Poison Killing
Patriarch Cui had just finished speaking when his confidant suddenly ran in from the outside and reported to him: "Patriarch, just got the news that the King of Youzhou and Governor Zhang sent invitations to the counties in Beidi, saying that they would celebrate the Spring Festival From time to time, officials from all over the world are invited to participate in the celebration.”

"Oh? New Year's celebration?" Patriarch Cui was immediately happy when he heard this.

"Isn't this just sleepy and giving me a pillow? This is an opportunity!"

Several people around him also agreed.

"Master, it seems that even God can't stand the arrogance of King Youzhou. This is going to make him suffer a big fall!"

"This big somersault, I'm afraid I'm going to fall to my death!"

The head of the Cui family couldn't hide the smile on his lips, and said: "Yes, yes, God really helped me this time! However, I still have to prepare carefully. Once the opportunity comes, I must seize it! Ten Warriors... No, this time, select fifty warriors and let them practice day and night!"

"Yes!"

Outside, among the hundred or so people who had already left, the carriages returning in twos and threes creaked in the middle of the night.

Because it snowed again yesterday, there was still snow on the ground, and the wheels of the carriage rolled on it, making creaking sounds.

There were a few of them, although they were all sitting in carriages and walking alone, but after leaving the mansion, a few hours later, a few of them gathered in another house.

This house is about twenty miles away from the place where the previous meeting was held.

This is still the territory of the Boling Cui family, but it is one of the properties of one of these people.

Thinking of the process of meeting with everyone this time, the faces of these people were gloomy.

They didn't eat anything at Master's place before, either because they didn't want to eat, or because they didn't want to eat and couldn't eat.

The owner of the place asked the maid to bring hot meals and soup.

There were six of them in total, and each had a small table in front of them.

Everyone sat, ate, and talked about what happened just now.

"You said, our Bolingcui family, is it true that we are bound to the Tubo people and cannot be separated, is it?"

"Why did you get involved with the Tubo people? Anyway, we are also a family in the Central Plains, with a long history and a noble family. How did you get involved with the Tubo people?"

"Yes, the Tubo people are just a group of grassland barbarians. I really can't figure out what the Lord thinks? Is it just to deal with the King of Youzhou and the Emperor that he would rather fall down?"

That's right, in their eyes, what kind of noble and aristocratic family is their majestic Boling Cui family?

It is extremely shameful to be reduced to the point where you can only survive by colluding with the Tubo people!
And all of these made these offshoot patriarchs who were direct branches two generations ago very displeased.

They felt that what the master did was to shame their Boling Cui family's reputation!
"But what can we do? Our Lord has many supporters. All we can do is obey. Otherwise, our Boling Cui family will be in chaos from within before the outsiders deal with us. ’” sighed the local landlord.

How could he not know that what the master did was wrong?
Cooperating with foreign barbarians is undoubtedly drinking poison to quench thirst.

But for them, maybe there is no other way?
"Forget it, don't worry about it, it's over, it's useless to think about it. Come, drink."

"drink wine."

Several people held their wine glasses, facing each other from a distance, and then drank down.

Drinking, they continued to chat.

While chatting, someone suddenly yelled, clutched his stomach and said, "It hurts... this wine, this wine is poisonous..."

As he spoke, black blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, and he fell directly to the ground.

The people next to me were shocked when they saw it!
They realized something was wrong, and the other four immediately touched the sword at their waists, but at the same time they felt pain in their internal organs.

"Ah! You, you thief!"

"You have a poisonous heart!"

The person sitting at the top was even more shocked at this moment.

He drank less, but still drank.

So after seeing the appearance of those people, he immediately grabbed his own throat.

As a result, there was a sudden pain in his chest, and a sword ran down his chest and passed through from behind!

"you you……"

The landlord of the place, who had been pierced through, turned desperately to look, only to see that the person who wounded someone with a sword behind him was not someone else, but one of his confidantes.

"Why, why..." He kept bleeding from his mouth, knowing that he might not survive, but he wanted an answer, and wanted to die to understand.

His confidant said helplessly: "My lord, I can't blame you for being ruthless. It is you who insisted on going against the Patriarch. The Patriarch treats you well, but you want to betray the Patriarch. How can this be done? , I can only send you on the road with these few!"

"You...you are not afraid..."

"You want to say that the Patriarch is not afraid that this matter will be exposed, which will be bad for him? Master, you are too naive, aren't you? This world is the world of the living. When a person dies, he dies. Live Only by fighting for oneself can one be the master of oneself. After death, who would offend the most powerful Patriarch for a side branch that has lost its leader?"

"Besides, because you wanted to annex the property of these few people, you killed them with poisonous wine, and you even wanted to blame the head of the family. As a result, the people you harmed were not completely dead for a while, and were given to the proud people. With one strike of your sword, you died with them directly. Then you struggled and fell, bringing down the dyed candle next to you. The candle mixed with the wine and ignited the whole house. When your confidants came to put out the fire, the whole house was It's been burned..."

"Master, what do you think of the result?"

"You!" The old man's eyes widened with anger, and he died immediately.

The confidant pulled out the long sword, and threw the candle at the side onto the curtain.

A moment later, the curtain that was stained with wine sparked huge flames!
His sword was stuffed into the hand of the other person closest to him before he left.

As the henchman strode out, the entire house was quickly engulfed in flames.

It wasn't until the fire was completely ignited that someone discovered the situation here and shouted to put out the fire.

"What? You said, my father... My father was murdered by Uncle Qitang? How is this possible?" A scholar who had just walked out of the library in the New Second District of Youzhou was suddenly pulled away by someone. In the corner, When told about this, his reaction was disbelief.

"Sanlang, it is indeed the case. Now the eldest son, the second son, and your younger brothers have all been called back from various places to attend the funeral. You, you should go back quickly, otherwise, I am afraid that people will be questioned for being unfilial. .”

This servant was obviously leaning toward the third young master, and he was urging and persuading him with a hint of intimacy in his words.

The third son Cui shook his head directly after thinking about it.

"No, it's not right."
