Shao Pingbo replied with a meaningful "oh" and turned to the young man. He was more polite than anyone else along the way. He cupped his hands and bowed respectfully. "Greetings, Young Master Zhao. I am investigating the case of a spy from the enemy country. Please don't get in my way." Then he took out a token from his sleeve and showed it to Zhao Yujun.
Zhao Yujun pointed at his mother and said angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about? What does a spy from the enemy country have to do with my mother? Do you have any evidence? "
Shao Pingbo said respectfully, "I'm just taking her back for questioning. Please don't get in my way!"
Zhao Yujun said, "What a joke! How can you arrest her without evidence? "
Shao Pingbo said, "Young Master, are you going to stop me?"
"Wait for my father to come!" Zhao Yujun turned around and shouted, "Someone, go to the government office and inform father …" There was a sudden swishing sound behind him, and he froze on the spot. He slowly lowered his head and looked at his chest, where blood was gushing out. It was the edge of a sword covered in blood!
Shao Pingbo suddenly unsheathed the sword at his waist and pierced his heart.
The people of the Zhao Mansion were stunned. The people of the Black Water Platform were also stunned. Even Shao Sansheng was stunned. No one had expected that Shao Pingbo would dare to kill Zhao Gongquan's son. Moreover, he had suddenly drawn his sword and killed him on the spot!
"Jun 'er …" A beautiful woman who was being held suddenly let out a heart-wrenching scream. She tried to break free from the restraints to save her son, but she was unable to break free from the restraints.
Shao Pingbo pulled out the killing sword. Zhao Yujun fell to the ground and twitched. Blood flowed on the ground. Shao Pingbo wiped the blood on his body with his sword and then put the sword back into its sheath expressionlessly. He looked around coldly and said, "Anyone who resists will be punished the same way!"
Everyone in the Zhao Mansion was trembling with fear. Endless fear assaulted them, and they all shut their mouths. There were still people who were clamoring just now.
The eyes of the beautiful woman who was wailing at the top of her lungs rolled back and she fainted.
"Sir, this …" A man of the Black Water Platform approached in fear. Shao Pingbo raised his hand to stop him from speaking.
"Young Master!" Shao Sansheng also approached in fear. He didn't know what to say in front of so many people.
"Pen and paper!" Shao Pingbo ordered. Then, he pointed at the tall table with a vase in the corridor not far away.
Shao Sansheng immediately asked someone to fetch a pen and paper. At the same time, he asked someone to bring the high table over.
The tall table was placed in front of Shao Pingbo, and the pen and paper were also brought over. Shao Pingbo tilted his head and gestured to them. "Continue with your errands."
The Black Water Station personnel immediately escorted the arrested people out. What was shocking was that Shao Pingbo actually bent over and dipped the pen in his hand into Zhao Yujun's blood on the ground. Then, he stood in front of the high table and started writing on the paper. He actually used the blood of the youngest son of the Zhao Family as ink.
The rain from a few days ago had dispersed, and the weather was finally good. But under the bright and beautiful sunlight, a graceful man in a cloak stood next to a corpse and wrote with human blood. Who knew how many people in the Zhao mansion trembled in fear, and no one dared to show off the arrogance of Lord Zhao's family anymore.
Shao Sansheng approached Shao Pingbo and said nervously, "Young Master, how are you going to explain this to His Majesty?"
"This letter is an explanation to His Majesty. These people are trying to force His Majesty to abdicate. They should know the severity of the situation!" Shao Pingbo wrote steadily and said unhurriedly, "Isn't Lord Zhao very happy in the court? I can't spit out that blood for nothing. Someone has to pay the price. Using his son's blood as compensation is barely enough! "
Shao Sansheng was very uneasy. "If you do this, the whole court will not let you go."
Shao Pingbo said, "How do you know that they plan to let me go? If I don't kill them and I don't fight back, will they let me go? The more I swallow my anger, the more they don't care! Since they can't tolerate me, since they want to force me to death, since they want to fight against me, then come on! "
"Old Shao, if you don't let them be afraid and teach them a lesson, they will be more and more unscrupulous in the future! I don't want to come to this step, but now I have no choice. They forced me! Do they think they can bring me down? It's not that I look down on them, but they are just a group of mediocre people! "
Shao Sansheng was silent. He thought about it and felt that it was reasonable. He gradually calmed down and said, "If this matter gets out of hand, His Majesty will soon send someone to stop it. I'm afraid it will be difficult for the people behind to do anything."
Shao Pingbo bent down and dipped his pen in the blood again. He stood up and wrote again, "Don't worry, His Majesty will sit back and watch."
When the letter was finished, he put down the pen, lifted the bloody paper, blew on it, and handed it to Shao Sansheng. "Someone died, His Majesty will definitely be alerted. We have to give His Majesty an explanation. Seal it and order Black Water Platform to immediately deliver it to His Majesty! "
"Yes!" Shao Sansheng replied with difficulty.
The letter was rolled up and stuffed into a small metal tube. It was sealed. Then, a member of Black Water Platform took the letter and quickly ran out of Zhao Mansion. He galloped on a horse and rode directly to the palace.
Soon, Shao Pingbo and the others left Zhao Mansion. A group of people mounted their horses and rushed to the next house.
In the middle of the courtyard, a corpse lay quietly. A group of servants did not dare to approach. Zhao Gongquan's legal wife was also frightened. She was accompanied by her daughter-in-law, Tai-shu. They all had a lingering fear. When they came back to their senses, the legal wife's branch realized that except for this branch, everyone in the other three branches had been arrested, regardless of whether they were male or female, old or young.
Not long after Shao Pingbo and the others left, several horses galloped over. The Inner Custodian, Zhao Gongquan, hurried back accompanied by guards.
In fact, as soon as Shao Pingbo and the others arrived and stirred up the commotion, someone immediately climbed over the wall and ran to inform Zhao Gongquan. Zhao Gongquan, who received the news, hurried back.
"Master, why are you so late …" As soon as the housekeeper saw him, he knelt down and burst into tears on the spot.
"Why are you crying? What happened? Where is Shao Pingbo? " Zhao Gongquan scolded angrily. He was indeed angry. As soon as he heard the news, he became angry. What a bold Shao Pingbo, daring to barge into the house of the Inner Custodian to cause trouble. He must be tired of living.
Suddenly, he saw a person lying in a pool of blood not far away. He was a little shocked. He rushed forward in disbelief. After seeing the face of the deceased, he cried out and knelt down to hug him. "Jun 'er! Jun 'er! Master, master, hurry and save him, hurry and save him! "
What was there to save? There was no need to save him. It was obvious that he could not be saved. The people around him could only come forward to comfort him.
His youngest son, his eldest grandson, the lifeblood of the old man. Zhao Gongquan was truly heartbroken. He also burst into tears.
This was the only unmarried son in the family. Back in the imperial court, when the Seventh Princess forced him to marry, he refused. Who would have thought that he would be murdered in his own home?
Overwhelmed with grief, Zhao Gongquan actually stood up and grabbed one of the guards of the family. "You can't even protect my family. How dare you allow someone to murder in my home? What's the point of me raising you?"
The cultivator said awkwardly, "Milord, the other party came aggressively. They are all from the Black Water Platform and have His Majesty's token. We don't know what's going on, so we don't dare to act rashly. We also don't dare to touch them. If we hurt them, we're afraid we'll bring trouble to Milord!"
They had to be able to hurt them. The people that Taishu Xiong sent to protect Shao Pingbo were all experts among the cultivators. How could they be allowed to act rashly?
Zhao Gongquan pushed him away and roared, "Who killed him? Who killed my son?"
The housekeeper cried bitterly. "It was Milord Shao. Shao Pingbo killed him personally. He drew his sword in front of everyone and stabbed the young master to death!"
"Ah!" Zhao Gongquan clutched his chest. His heart was in pain. He waved his hand and pointed at a group of cultivators. He was furious. "You, you go immediately. Go and catch him immediately. I want to kill this bastard with my own hands!"
The cultivators looked at each other. One of them answered, "Milord, they are from the Black Water Platform. In the entire capital, except for His Majesty, no one dares to act rashly! We don't dare. "
The housekeeper stepped forward to support Zhao Gongquan. "Milord, Second Madam, Third Madam, Fourth Madam, and several young masters and young ladies have been taken away by Shao Pingbo. Shao Pingbo has hostages in his hands. We can't act rashly. We have to think of a way to save them now. Milord, go and find His Majesty!"
"His Majesty? Yes, His Majesty. Let's go. I'm going to the palace … "Zhao Gongquan roared and left quickly. He didn't notice that the wife of the first wife was still there.
…
"His Majesty! His Majesty! Something bad has happened! "
In the imperial study, Tao Lue rushed in. He looked shocked.
Tai-shu Xiong, who was busy reading documents behind the desk, raised his head and glanced at him. "What's the matter?"
Tao Lue said with a bitter face, "Your Majesty, Lord Shao broke into Lord Zhao's house with the Black Water Platform and killed Lord Zhao's youngest son in public!"
"Ah!" Tai-shu Xiong was shocked. The brush in his hand clattered to the ground. He suddenly stood up and said angrily, "Is he crazy? Didn't I ask you to keep an eye on him? "
Tao Lue looked embarrassed. "According to the report, Lord Shao suddenly pulled out his sword. It was so unexpected. No one expected that he would dare to kill people in the Zhao Mansion. They didn't have time to react … Your Majesty, this is the blood letter that Lord Shao sent."
"Blood letter? What is it? " Tai-shu Xiong grabbed the letter and opened it. It was written in blood, but the handwriting was neat. It didn't look like a blood letter in a bad situation. Before reading the content, Tai-shu Xiong couldn't help but put it in front of his nose and smell the blood. He asked, "What does it mean?"
Tao Lue reminded him, "According to the report, Lord Shao asked for a brush in the Zhao Mansion. He dipped it in the blood of Lord Zhao's youngest son in public and wrote this report to Your Majesty!"
"Is this guy crazy or is he tired of living?" Tai-shu Xiong was furious. He read the content of the blood letter again. Gradually, the anger on his face disappeared. After reading it, the blood letter fell down slowly. His eyes flickered. Suddenly, he sneered, "He didn't come back to the capital city to get married. He came to settle accounts with the people in the imperial court. It seems that the blood he spat out was on Zhao Gongquan's son!"
Tao Lue said tentatively, "Your Majesty, I read the content of the blood letter first. I didn't dare to make a decision, so I didn't order the Black Water Platform to stop Lord Shao. Your Majesty, do you think we should stop him? "
"Stop? Stop what? A bunch of bastards. How dare they force me. It's time for someone to teach them a lesson. "Tai-shu Xiong waved the blood letter in his hand." Our Lord Shao is really powerful! I didn't choose the wrong person. As soon as he came back to the capital city, he used thunderous means. I'd like to see whether those guys who want to force me to abdicate can be stopped! The best is yet to come. I'm afraid this marriage will be ruined! "
