Tang Baixin served in the Ministry of Revenue, and his wife came from a branch of the He family, which is the maternal family of the Empress and the Crown Prince Consort of Fengshi.
When Chu Zhi and the others followed the crowd to the Tang residence, the confiscation of property had already begun. The front of the gate was guarded by the Suning Guard, leaving an open space.
On one side were hundreds of black steeds ridden by the Suning Guard, fierce horses with hooves as big as water ladles, and a luxurious and heavy carriage.
It was Lan Huaiyu’s special vehicle.
Through the open gate, one could see the Tang family members kneeling on the ground, tied up, adults and children, fifty or sixty people in all.
Members of the Suning Guard walked back and forth with embroidered spring knives at their waists. Among the common people, they were the court’s hounds and the eunuch party’s henchmen, who killed without blinking an eye.
A tall and slender figure stood with one hand behind his back at the high point of the mansion gate, facing the Tang family members kneeling on the ground as if he were a death god accepting worship.
The sunlight slanted, his upper body hidden in the shadows, and the scarlet court robe on his lower body was like flowing blood in the sunlight.
The girdle around his waist accentuated his narrow waist and long legs. This back view was truly both terrifying and moving.
In front of him, no one dared to say the words “eunuch” or “eunuch party” to his face, and some even felt a strange pity.
Such a graceful demeanor, what a pity!
“When will the thieves of the Black Robe Sect be wiped out? I heard from relatives that eight or nine boys have been lost in their town in the past few months.”
“Only we in the capital know that the Black Robe Sect is an evil cult that makes deals that eat people without spitting out bones. People in other places don’t believe it.”
“That’s right, that’s right. Last time I went back to my hometown to worship my ancestors, I told them that the Black Robe Sect was doing inhuman things, and my muddle-headed second uncle even wanted to slap me.”
“They have lost their minds, hoping and waiting to die and go to heaven to enjoy wealth and glory, saying that as long as they go to heaven, they can eat white flour buns every day.”
Only the people in the capital have such awareness.
The Black Robe Sect is indeed an evil cult, very good at deceiving ignorant people and brainwashing them.
Its altars are distributed in various large and small cities in surrounding countries, and they are wiped out wave after wave like rats burrowing holes.
They only do some evil things that harm people, such as using boys to make medicine, saying that it can rejuvenate men and make them virile; using girls to make medicine can make women’s faces immortal and forever like sixteen-year-olds; and there is also a kind of medicine that can prolong life and make living over a hundred years old not a dream…
Whoever believes these things is a fool, but some powerful and wealthy people believe it.
Chu Zhi even knew that Feng Shi had eaten the kind of medicine made from boys, and she beat him so hard at that time that he couldn’t get out of bed for three days.
Moreover, speaking of Ying Feng’s famous battle in his previous life, it was to suppress the Black Robe Sect bandits. Since then, Ying Feng has been at the top of the Black Robe Sect’s assassination list.
Tang Baixin’s hair was gray, and he was very fat, tied tightly with ropes, kneeling there like a zongzi (sticky rice dumpling) that had become a spirit.
He looked up and saw Lan Huaiyu in the high place, both surprised, fearful, and hateful, “Eunu…”
He only cursed one word before the scabbard of the embroidered spring knife hit his face hard, his fat face crooked, and blood and several teeth spurted out.
Zhao Xi, the commander of the Suning Guard, had a dark face with a kind smile, “I used to learn the craft of pulling teeth for people. How does Lord Tang think my craft is?”
Tang Baixin couldn’t answer at all, the pain was so great that he was about to faint.
Soon, the confiscation of property reached the most ‘exciting’ moment. A whole box of ‘magic medicine’ made by the Black Robe Sect using boys was presented to Lan Huaiyu. He glanced at it with indifferent eyes, and a cold light flashed.
“The evil cult harms children. It is said that one boy can be used to make one pill. There are eight boys lying in Lord Tang’s box. In order to restore your virility, Lord Tang does not hesitate to eat people. Even demons are not as evil as this.”
The onlookers all heard it and were extremely angry, especially those who had children and were parents, who were even more furious and began to curse Tang Baixin loudly.
Xia Ying, Xiao Chun, and Xiao Mei also cursed. Turning living people into medicine was simply shocking. Who would have thought that someone would dare to eat it? !
Tang Baixin was bruised and swollen, with several teeth missing, and his fat face seemed to be deformed.
He didn’t admit it, but he was very afraid. Who didn’t know Lan Huaiyu’s methods? He didn’t know what kind of torture would await him next.
He was not disappointed.
Lan Huaiyu’s brown eyes were cold, but a smile appeared on his lips, “Cut off the source of all evil, and Lord Tang may be able to wholeheartedly do good.”
Before Tang Baixin could react, Zhao Xi said yes, and the embroidered spring knife was wiped across the crotch of the kneeling man.
Tang Baixin only felt a chill in his lower body, and his weight seemed to have decreased a bit.
Looking down again, a dry thing like a dried small carrot was lying on the ground, blood gushing from his crotch, and a sharp pain struck. He screamed and fainted.
The brothers Qingfeng and Qingzhi shivered together, feeling a little pain somewhere.
Many of the people outside who were craning their necks to watch cheered, and some whispered that Lan Huaiyu himself didn’t have a man’s thing, so he was psychologically perverted. Any prisoner he caught, as long as he was a man, would have to be castrated first.
Xia Ying was unhappy when she heard this, and was about to turn around and scold them with a cold face.
Suddenly, Chu Zhi’s ears twitched, and her eyes narrowed. In the blink of an eye, she flashed to the steps of the mansion gate and grabbed a crossbow arrow flying out of thin air.
With a flick of her fingers, the crossbow arrow turned a circle in her hand and flew out, returning along the original path with a heavy whistling sound.
Half a head was exposed on a roof opposite, and before he could dodge, the crossbow arrow pierced his skull.
Chu Zhi also flew up and over after throwing the crossbow arrow, extremely fast.
All of this happened in an instant. By the time the crowd reacted, Chu Zhi had disappeared.
Qingfeng and Qingzhi were also surprised and afraid. Just now, they didn’t hear any movement at all. When they turned around to look, Chu Zhi had already jumped up and left the spot.
“This subordinate will go and take a look.”
Qingzhi chased after her first.
Lan Huaiyu looked at the opposite roof and suddenly smiled, “A master.”
Across the street on the ground, a person whose head was pierced by a crossbow arrow lay on the ground.
There were only some red and white contents at the wound. The ordinary face still had undisguised surprise, showing that he died in a hurry.
Chu Zhi stood next to him with her arms crossed, and after observing the person a little, she knew his origin: the Black Robe Sect.
After all, she had dealt with them a lot in her previous life, and they were easy to identify.
Qingzhi came over, first looked at the corpse, and then looked at Chu Zhi, “This subordinate admires Madam’s martial arts very much! This subordinate used to think that his kung fu was very good, and he was considered talented, but after seeing Madam today, the gap is not just a little bit.”
“The difference between you and me… is twenty of you.”
“…”
Qingzhi didn’t know what to say, feeling a little depressed.
Chu Zhi kicked the corpse on the ground, “Drag it away. The Black Robe Sect’s assassins have set their sights on the Duke. Next, you have to be careful. They are like flies, smelling the scent and can’t get rid of them.”
“Madam, are you saying that the Duke is that, so he attracts flies?” Qingzhi took the opportunity to find a loophole in her words.
“…”
Do you believe I’ll beat you until you cry? !
