Chapter 695 Cai Wentao Suffers Disaster
When Cai Wuhai thought of his dead clansmen and the plan he had made back then, and now saw that the important task of leading his family to success was ruined, he immediately lost his composure.
He wants to fight to the death with Li Cunxi!
"I have a plan that can restore the sun and moon to their former glory, and our family can once again dominate the Luzhou officialdom!"
"Brother Li Qi, I need your help."
Cai Wuhai looked at the middle-aged man with a sinister face with burning eyes.
The middle-aged man gently stroked his short beard, pondered for a moment, and nodded.
"Since Brother Cai thinks highly of me, Li, I will never be that coward!"
"My uncle Li Cheng was originally the Sima of Luzhou and had a bright future, but he was killed by Li Cunxi!"
"If I don't avenge this, Heaven will not tolerate it!"
Cai Wuhai immediately came to Li Cheng's side and whispered in his ear:
"My dear brother, my plan is this..."
……
In the Luzhou Governor's Mansion, on the Governor's throne, Wu Sansi was sitting with his legs crossed, looking very awkward.
On the side, someone brought a small table and a chair over and asked Li Cunxi to sit on it.
Hu Jinghui held the imperial sword in his arm, with his head held high and his chest puffed out. His expression was intimidating without even being angry. Just a casual glance made the lowest-level officials of the governor's office kneeling below tremble in fear.
The yamen runners stood on both sides, feeling extremely pressured and not daring to glance sideways at these three men with such powerful auras.
In the eerie silence, a figure flashed past from behind the screen wall and headed straight towards the main hall.
"Inner Guard Phoenix, greetings to His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin and His Royal Highness the Prince of Liang!"
"All notices have been posted, and I've come back to report."
The person who came was Fenghuang, she was like a proud peacock, with her neck raised high.
Li Cunxi asked the emperor for help from the Inner Guard House in the court. Later, when he arrived at the Inner Guard House, he took Fenghuang away naturally.
When fighting broke out at the gate of Luzhou City, it was Fenghuang who led the inner guards to block the officials' butts from behind.
"Well, once the notice is posted, the people of Luzhou will know that Luzhou officials are plotting a rebellion, intending to split the Great Zhou, and openly assassinating Governor Di Guangyuan and Imperial Commissioner Lu Dayou."
"This kind of thing shouldn't be shared with outsiders, but some people are so filthy-minded that they're deliberately using the city gate incident to discredit us."
"Therefore, we had no choice but to let him spread the word and let the people of Luzhou know that it was us who saved the imperial court from a massacre in Luzhou."
Wu Sansi immediately stated the reasons, all to the kneeling grassroots officials below.
Of course, what he said would spread throughout the streets and alleys of Luzhou within two hours.
They took the opportunity to nail the joke of Luzhou officials who failed in their rebellion and were wiped out on the pillar of shame in history.
The officials below who were more clever knew that Wu Sansi wanted to use their mouths to pass messages to the families behind them and let them wait for death.
As a result, many people fainted on the spot out of fright.
"Come here, drag these unconscious people away and whip them with cold water!"
Wu Sansi was a rude and unreasonable person, and he took advantage of the fact that no one dared to talk back to him, so he immediately wanted to let those officials who did not go to test his ability.
The other officials who were not unconscious, upon seeing this scene, shrank their necks and dared not speak.
"Okay, everyone else, go back to your respective positions."
"For the next period of time, until the Luzhou case is solved, you must return to your posts every day without any slackness and handle your duties well."
"If I discover that any of you are taking advantage of this opportunity to commit any illegal acts, I will kill them all without mercy."
After Wu Sansi finished speaking, he stood up, flicked his sleeves, and walked towards the back hall.
Li Cunxi didn't say a word the whole time. After everyone left, he stretched comfortably and yawned.
"It's nice to have a teammate who is unreasonable and unreasonable, but unfortunately Yanhao and Dayou are not such people."
He rested his chin on the table, inexplicably missing his good brother Wu Yanhao.
"By the way, Yingzi, you should go back quickly. Don't let Dayou and my second brother wait anxiously."
"Send me another message and tell them to do whatever they want as long as they don't get caught."
A person flashed out from behind the pillar, it was Shadow.
The shadow bowed to Li Cunxi, used his lightness skills to turn around and leave.
"It's great that Dayou and my brother are still alive."
Hu Jinghui breathed a sigh of relief and smiled again:
"I'll take the Imperial Sword in first, and then we can go out and have something to eat together."
Li Cunxi nodded and watched Hu Jinghui walk into the back hall.
Shadow came over a moment ago and first told Li Cunxi that Di Guangyuan and Lu Dayou were safe and sound, then talked about the grievances between the two, and finally told Li Cunxi where Cai Wentao was imprisoned.
Li Cunxi felt much more at ease when he learned that Di Guangyuan and Lu Dayou were not dead.
Now I feel like I can eat several bowls of rice.
……
Shangdang, east of the city.
In a small room, Cai Wentao, who was sitting on a long bench, opened his eyes wide.
Inside the room, there were several thin but fierce-looking men. They tied Cai Wentao up tightly and stuffed his mouth with a loincloth.
"Woo, woo, woo, woo, woo..."
Cai Wentao struggled frantically, trying to break free.
One of the men had just started a fire, and when he saw Cai Wentao like this, he laughed mockingly:
"You don't have to struggle."
"The more you struggle, the tighter it gets."
"Just lie down here and we'll castrate you today so you don't mess around anymore."
After the man finished speaking, he let go of the object he was blocking.
It turned out to be a huge butcher knife!
Another man held a butcher knife in his hand and placed the blade and the blade on the fire to roast.
One of the men added a little fire to the brazier, turned around and looked at Cai Wentao again, stroking his chin and thinking for half a cup of tea.
Suddenly, he clenched his right fist and hammered it into the palm of his left hand.
"I said so!"
"I always felt like I had forgotten something, but now I remember it!"
The other men laughed and asked:
"What do you remember?"
The man said confidently:
"If we cut him open, he'll definitely bleed profusely, right?"
"When the bleeding gets too bad, we'll have to stop it, right?"
"Wait here, I'll get some wood ash to stop the bleeding!"
The men burst into laughter and kept saying "that's how it should be".
Cai Wentao's heart almost sank, and he struggled more and more.
However, he soon stopped struggling as the rope tied him tightly to the bench.
Unless he overturned the bench, it would be impossible to change to another position.
Of course, even if he changed his posture, he would never be able to break free from the bench.
In the final analysis, if no one helps him, he will just have to wait to be castrated.
"Woo, woo ...
The man in charge of lighting the fire turned around and said with a smile:
"Don't scream, it will be fine soon."
