From eunuch to emperor

All the officials in Yangcheng were present, Tian Caiwei and Li Guishou were seated, a soldier hurried out from the backyard, and said to Long Chen, "I report to King Wu, 21 corpses were found in the backyard, all of which were drained of blood, and two of them were dug up." Lose your heart."

After the soldier finished speaking, all the officials present except Tian Caiwei and Li Guishou were shocked, not knowing what happened.

Long Chen nodded slightly, and the soldiers retreated.

Long Chen glanced at the crowd, and said loudly: "My lord, Long Chen, I'm here to hunt down and kill the holy son of the ghost clan!"

"Wu Gui, the prefect of Yangcheng, defected to the holy son of the ghost clan, and falsely passed on the military order, intending to coerce 10,000+ people from Yangcheng into the grassland and give them to the ghost clan as rations!"

When the officials below heard about it, they were shocked into silence.

Many of the officials followed the army. They thought they were going north to defend against the ghosts, but Wu Gui took them as rations.

"A few nights ago, this king fought with the holy son of the ghost clan. Some of you must have seen it."

"The holy son of the ghost clan was seriously injured and escaped by this king, and Wu Gui took advantage of the chaos to escape."

"Wu Gui thinks it's good for him to seek refuge with the ghost clan. Hmph, that's naive."

"On the way here, I met Wu Gui's family members at the inn. I ignored them, but let them enter the grassland and let them go to the ghost clan."

Long Chen glanced at the crowd, they didn't understand why Wu Gui's family was let go.

"You don't understand? It's right if you don't understand."

Long Chen continued: "Ma Feizi, do you know? The owner of the Mazhuang Village brought 20 horses to join the ghost clan's holy son. As a result, the grandchildren he brought were eaten by the ghost clan."

The matter of Ma Feizi made a big fuss, and they all knew that Ma Feizi had defected.

But they didn't know that Ma Feizi's grandchildren were eaten.

"Ma Feizi fled back to Yanmen Pass and wanted me to avenge him. Of course, I didn't care about it. He will take the blame."

"Wu Gui has escaped, can he survive? This king tells you, it's impossible!"

"Wu Gui and his family have arrived in the grassland, and they are the rations of the ghost clan. None of them can escape, and they all have to die!"

"If you don't want to be a good prefect here, if you insist on going to the grassland to die, this king will not stop him!"

Long Chen's voice was cold, and everyone present looked at each other in blank dismay.

I didn't expect Wu Gui to be a traitor, and I didn't expect Ma Feizi to be so miserable.

"What is the ghost clan? It's a man-eating thing. If you go to the ghost clan, the ghost clan will treat you well? It's extremely stupid!"

After criticizing Wu Gui, Long Chen returned to the main topic: "Wu Gui ran away, he is dead, let's not talk about him."

"Tian Caiwei has outstanding talents. This king announces that she will be the prefect of Yangcheng, and all government affairs will be handled by her. Lieutenant Li will work hard together."

Li Guishou immediately stood up and said: "The last general takes orders."

The other officials immediately bowed and said, "I will help you wholeheartedly."

Long Chen made an appointment in person in public, just like the imperial conferment by the empress, who would dare to disobey.

"This time, we can tell the truth to the people, and we can also tell the officials in the surrounding counties and counties, so that they can understand in their hearts, and it is a dead end to seek refuge with the ghost clan!"

"I have other things to do. You all follow the orders of Taishou Tian and Captain Li."

After finishing speaking, Long Chen got up and walked out.

There is still something to do in Yuncheng, Long Chen has no time to stay.

Tian Caiwei and Li Guishou sent Long Chen out, and other officials followed him out of the prefect's mansion.

"Okay, let's go back."

Long Chen rode out of the city, and when he arrived outside the city, Shi Jingxiang waited wearing a black bamboo hat.

"Have you dealt with it?"

"It's done, let's go."

The two rode their horses towards Yuncheng.

...

Wu Gui arrived at the appointed place on horseback. His wife Xu, his son Wu Lin, and other family members of concubines were waiting.

"Master is here."

A servant shouted happily when he saw Wu Gui.

Mrs. Xu and Wu Lin were overjoyed when they saw Wu Gui. Wu Lin ran over, took the rein of the horse, and said happily, "Father has finally arrived. Why is father alone?"

It was only then that Wu Lin noticed that Wu Gui looked very embarrassed, his face was also very bad, and his expression was very frightened.

"King Wu is here, King Wu is here."

Wu Gui muttered in horror, the servant helped Mrs. Xu come over, Mrs. Xu heard that Long Chen was coming, and asked: "It's just right that King Wu is here, why is the master like this?"

Xu Shi didn't know that Wu Gui took refuge in a ghost fetus, and she thought it was a good thing that Long Chen came here.

Wu Gui looked back to the south and said, "What a fart, I have joined the ghost clan, this march is the order of the ghost clan's holy son."

Hearing this, Xu Shi and Wu Lin were dumbfounded, and the servants beside them were also shocked.

"Master, you... you actually joined the ghost clan?"

Xu couldn't believe it, and almost fainted from fright.

Wu Lin was surprised: "When did father join the ghost clan? Why don't we know?"

Wu Gui waved his hands and said: "In the past, the most urgent thing is to enter the grassland and find the ghost clan. No, it's not the ghost clan, but the saint clan. Remember it, don't say the wrong thing."

"Go now, go now."

Wu Gui wanted to continue to go north, but the horse was exhausted and refused to go no matter how much he whipped him.

Wu Lin said: "Father, drink some water first, and change to another horse before leaving."

Helping Wu Gui off the horse, a servant brought a water bottle, and Wu Gui drank a few mouthfuls, coughing and drinking while choking.

After drinking the water, Wu Gui felt unbearably hungry. His family brought pancakes. Wu Gui ate three in a row and drank a pot of water.

"Father."

Wu Lin knelt down and supported Wu Gui. Wu Gui could barely open his eyes, and said wearily, "Go, help me to the car, go to the grassland, and find the saints. Remember, it's the saints."

The matter has been exposed, Long Chen is very kind to ordinary people, but he is very cruel to officials, if a traitor like Wu Gui is caught, he will be executed everywhere.

Wu Lin found a servant, carried Wu Gui into the carriage, and the family immediately walked to the grassland.

As for where the grassland is, they don't know either.

With more than a dozen carriages, with his family and servants, as well as gold and silver goods, Wu Gui traveled more than ten li to the north.

A person suddenly appeared in front of him, it was Li Chengdao.

"Step aside!"

The servant who opened the way ahead saw Li Chengdao alone, raised his whip and yelled loudly.

They are servants of the prefect's mansion, they are used to being arrogant and domineering, and they are in a bad mood after traveling a long distance, so they are very irritable.

Li Chengdao ignored the servant, but looked at the carriage behind.

"Behind is the prefect of Yangcheng. If you dare to block the way, you will die!"

The whip in the servant's hand lashed at Li Chengdao fiercely.

Before the whip was drawn, the servant's head flew up suddenly, and blood gushed out from his neck.

Seeing that the servant was killed, the people behind were so frightened that they stopped the carriage immediately.

"My lord, I killed someone."

The servant in front shouted, and the concubine poked her head out of the carriage, and saw this terrifying scene.

"Master, murdered, murdered."

The concubine screamed in terror, and Wu Gui was still sleeping in the carriage.

It took Wu Lin a lot of effort to shake Wu Gui awake.

"what happened?"

Wu Gui got up in a daze, and Wu Lin said, "Father, there is someone blocking the way ahead, and he killed our people."

Wu Gui was so frightened that he woke up, thinking that Long Chen was chasing him, he hurriedly opened the curtain, and saw Li Chengdao standing in front of him.

Wu Gui was stunned for a moment, then happily jumped out of the carriage, ran to Li Chengdao, and said joyfully, "Where is the Holy Son? Where is the Holy Son?"

Of course Wu Gui knew Li Chengdao, and he also knew that Li Chengdao was the ghost's personal servant.

Li Chengdao appeared here, indicating that the ghost fetus is also nearby.

Li Chengdao looked at the convoy and said with a sneer, "Fuck, he's dead."

Wu Gui was stunned... Li Chengdao actually called the ghost fetus instead of the holy son, something was wrong.

"Dead? How could the Holy Son die?"

Wu Gui couldn't believe that the god in his eyes was actually dead.

Li Chengdao said with a little pride: "Why can't I die, I killed him!"

Wu Gui's expression froze completely.

"You...killed the Holy Son? Don't be kidding. Although I messed up my errand, it wasn't my fault. Long Chen suddenly appeared, and the Holy Son saw it too."

Wu Gui thought that he had messed up his errands and abandoned him, and wanted to explain clearly to Li Chengdao.

Li Chengdao smiled coldly, and said: "Why can't you understand people's words? I said that the ghost is dead, and I killed it. You don't have to go, just die here."

After speaking, Li Chengdao held a sharp knife and began to kill slowly.

Wu Gui couldn't resist at all, and was beheaded by Li Chengdao. The servants behind, Wu Lin, and Xu's family were all killed, leaving only a few delicate concubines.

Li Chengdao sucked the concubine's blood dry, and then set fire to the body.

After killing Wu Gui, Li Chengdao headed north contentedly.

Wu Gui is the only insider, kill him, you can say whatever you want about the whole matter.
