Chapter 330 The Grassroots
Night, deep night.
The news that a group of desperate killers failed in their assassination attempt on Li Cunxi and were beaten badly by the army soon reached Jiangzhou.
Jiangzhou Chief Secretary Feng Wanchun and a group of brothers gathered in Wuping County again and settled down in an inn by the river.
Everyone gathered together to discuss what to do next.
The days ahead are numbered. As long as Li Cunxi reaches Jiangzhou, they will surely die.
But they couldn't stop Li Cunxi from coming to Jiangzhou, which was the most fucked-up thing.
They watched Li Cunxi coming to Jiangzhou, but they didn't even have a way to kill Li Cunxi. They could only watch Li Cunxi come and kill them.
Oh--
This is really a bad memory.
We are all adults, who wants to die?
Except for Feng Wanchun who was worried, everyone else was cursing the useless Iron Hand Group.
The Wuping County Magistrate Huang Wenyue cursed the most foully, saying things like "Fuck your mother", "What a son of a bitch", and "You took our money but couldn't even kill Li Cunxi".
Zhao Fucai took sip after sip of wine, his eyes red.
He recalled that he had gone to the capital to falsely accuse Duke Huang, which led to the execution of Li Ai and his entire family.
Now, his descendants come to kill his entire family. He is the Marquis of Pingnan and he can't just wait to die like this.
Although the assassination attempt failed once, he still wanted to continue.
If it doesn't work once, he will try it twice. If that doesn't work again, he will try it three times, or even four or five times. As long as Li Cunxi doesn't come to Jiangzhou, he will hire people to assassinate Li Cunxi every day.
"Alright, all of you calm down. Li Cunxi's coming to Jiangzhou is irreversible."
"And our attempt to assassinate Li Cunxi has completely failed. Li Cunxi is a smart man. He knows that if there is a first time, there will be a second time. Moreover, he has experienced several assassination attempts, and none of them ended up intact."
"I hope we should be more honest from now on, and we will make plans after he comes to Jiangzhou."
"We have been working hard in Jiangzhou over the years and we definitely don't have any stains. If Li Cunxi wants to kill us, he has to find a reason. Otherwise, what right would he have to kill us?"
Jiangzhou Chief Clerk Feng Wanchun expressed his thoughts with a serious expression.
As for whether he believed what he said, he didn't know.
Although we are not very smart people, we are not stupid either.
Feng Wanchun was talking nonsense, but they didn't believe a single word he said.
To say that Li Cunxi needed a reason to kill them all is pure bullshit.
Zhao Fucai took a sip of wine and said dissatisfiedly: "Brothers, the assassination of Li Cunxi this time was a plan that the six of us came up with together."
"Judging from the shameless actions of this despicable villain Li Cunxi, he will never let us go."
"If he comes here, none of us will survive. It doesn't matter if we die, but if Li Cunxi wants to wipe out the whole family, all of you brothers will die without a burial place."
"I can tell you that you have no idea what kind of despicable person Li Cunxi is."
"He has the narrowest heart of anyone. He will kill your entire family, not one will be spared, not even a chicken or a dog will be left alive. Even the ant nests will be doused with hot water, and any earthworms that crawl out will be chopped to death vertically."
"I know this little beast too well. He is a vicious beast."
Zhao Fucai had sent people to inquire about Li Cunxi before, so he naturally knew Li Cunxi better.
Did he know that Li Cunxi was the one who forced Princess Taiping Li Lingyue to death and sent Li Lingyue, who intended to overthrow Wu Zetian, to the beheading?
It's no exaggeration to say that this guy is extremely cruel. He is truly hateful, a beastly bastard.
If Zhao Fucai were allowed to go back to eleven years ago, he would rather kill everyone in Wuping County than rob Xue Qinglin's ship, let alone impersonate Xue Qinglin to falsely accuse Huang Guogong Li Ai.
He would rather die than face Li Cunxi.
Several people sighed and groaned until dawn, but they could not come up with any good plan, so they had to disperse and go home.
After returning to the government office in Xunyang County, Feng Wanchun met with his wife and children, then immediately went back to his study and wrote a letter to Li Cunxi.
A few days later, Li Cunxi, who was having dinner in the posthouse in Yiyang County, Shenzhou, received a letter from Jiangzhou.
Several people who were eating stopped and craned their necks to find out what was in the letter.
Li Cunxi casually fiddled with the duck meat in the bowl and asked the demon spirit who came in to deliver the letter:
"General Mo Ling, did the other party tell me who he was delivering the letter for?"
The demon shook his head and said according to the visitor's answer:
"He said he was delivering a letter for an old friend of yours."
Li Cunxi said "oh" and pushed the letter to Hu Jinghui.
Almost ten days had passed since the Iron Hand Group's failed assassination attempt on him. If he guessed correctly, this should be a letter from that bastard Feng Wanchun.
Hu Jinghui obviously did not consider himself an outsider. He opened the outer envelope, took out the letter inside, and read it carefully.
Li Yuanfang and Lu Dayou leaned over to watch.
The three of them finished watching it at about the same time, and the next second, all three of them clapped their hands on the table.
Li Yuanfang: "What a bunch of evil beasts!"
Hu Jinghui: "Kill them!"
Lu Dayou: "This is too much!"
Wu Yanhao spat out the duck leg bone in his mouth, reached out to take the letter from Hu Jinghui, and read it himself.
You don’t know until you see it, and you’ll be delighted when you see it.
Feng Wanchun stated it clearly in the letter that it was his brothers who bribed the Iron Hand Group to assassinate Li Cunxi, and he, as the eldest brother, failed to stop them.
He hoped that Li Cunxi would come to him after arriving in Jiangzhou so that he could help Li Cunxi destroy his brothers.
Of course, Feng Wanchun was not working for Li Cunxi for free. He hoped that his tiny contribution could save the lives of his wife and children.
"Isn't this just a quick confession to you after the assassination failed?"
"Isn't this just a fence-sitter?"
“Cun Xi, you are not a soft-hearted person. If it were me, I would just destroy all six of these evil beasts’ families.” Wu Yanhao laughed heartily.
Li Cunxi was too lazy to read the letter, nor did he really want to talk, so he just kept eating.
He had his own plans. Feng Wanchun was wavering like a traitor. How could Li Cunxi possibly spare his family's lives?
As the saying goes, you have to remove the grass at its roots, otherwise it will easily grow again in the spring breeze.
"Okay, let's eat. This guy is just here to cause trouble for me."
"Don't make me angry even though I'm not angry myself."
"Okay, okay, let's eat."
Li Cunxi pulled Hu Jinghui and the other two to sit down, and they started eating again.
Seeing this scene, the demon spirit quickly asked:
"Li Shaoyin, the messenger outside the door?"
Li Cunxi said calmly: "Just drown."
