A knife in love

Chapter 899

At this point, Gao Cheng took a look at Li Qiufeng, and continued, "Actually, it's only natural for the head of the Xu family to have such a plan. When Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, destroyed Qin, someone advised him to establish his capital in Xianyang and rule the world. However, Xiang Yu said that a great man has made great achievements and his power shakes the world. If he doesn’t return to his hometown, wouldn’t it be futile to walk at night in brocade clothes? The mind of the head of the Xu family is somewhat similar to that of Xiang Yu. He is a generation who is unwilling to be lonely and wants to show off in front of the world.

"After the head of the Xu family made up his mind, he called the heads of the other five families to discuss this matter. Thinking that the Xu family has always been the leader of the six families, it is inevitable that they will suppress the other five families on weekdays. This new patriarch has always been domineering , the other five families have long been dissatisfied. Seeing that he wanted to take out the gold, silver and jewels and lead the tribe out of the mountain, the five families did not agree, and both sides became dirty. Seeing that the head of the Xu family could not persuade Nie, Lu, Zhao, Du, The five families of Hua unexpectedly had a malicious plan, and wanted to kill all the children of the five families on the night of Shangyuan Festival..."

Li Qiufeng was startled when he heard this, and thought to himself that the head of the Xu family was really vicious, it was just a disagreement between the families, it was not a big deal, this person was too narrow-minded to do such a murderous thing.

Seeing the unbearable expression on Li Qiufeng's face, Gao Cheng seemed to have guessed what he was thinking, and then said: "The reason why the Xu family wants to get rid of the other five families is because these five families object to leaving the mountain, but the more important reason is that I'm afraid It is still because of the gold, silver and jewelry in Qianyin Cave. It is said that the gold and silver in the cave are worth tens of millions, and the jewelry is even more valuable. In addition to gold, silver and jewelry, there are also many calligraphy and paintings of famous people. It can buy half of Luoyang City. When the six families fled to Fengmen Village, they swore to Tianmeng that these gold, silver, jewelry, antique calligraphy and paintings would be the public property of the six families. Every step of the way, buying land and land, and becoming a rich man will cost a lot of money. Even if the other five families agree to the Xu family's departure, the gold, silver and jewels they take away are all compared to all the treasures in Qianyin Cave. It's not enough. Therefore, the Xu family has developed malicious intentions, most of which are because of these gold, silver and jewels.

"It's just that the head of the Xu family has one thing that he didn't expect. A member of the Xu family fell in love with a girl from the Zhao family. He couldn't bear the girl's tragic death in the fire, so he told the girl in private. , On the day of Shangyuan Festival, you must not go out to watch the lanterns. Since the six families fled to Fengmen Village, they have never interacted with the people outside the mountain. Although there are 2000 children from the six families together, they only stay in this mountain every day. The old people are not afraid of loneliness, but for those young people, it is like a year. Every year, New Year's Day, Shangyuan Festival and other festivals are the most lively days in Fengmen Village. Especially the Shangyuan Festival Lantern Festival It is even more lively. During these festivals, the young people in the village will go out together, which is a rare happy day in a year. This Xu family child thoughtlessly asked the Zhao family girl not to go out Looking at the lights, the girl from the Zhao family naturally refused to agree, and the two quarreled. In the end, the Xu family's children were excited for a moment, so they told the girl from the Zhao family that the Xu family would take advantage of the opportunity that all five children from the five families would come out to watch the lights on the night of the Lantern Festival. , surrounded the place where the lantern festival was held, and then set a fire to burn all the children of the five families to death.

"After the Zhao family girl heard the news, she was stunned. After the Xu family child finished talking about it, he regretted it. This person is really vicious, and he wanted to kill the girl. He first shot the Zhao family girl , when he was about to start killing, the girl from the Zhao family begged, and the kid softened his heart. It's just that his murderous intentions disappeared, and his lust reappeared, and he actually wanted to violate the girl from the Zhao family. At this time, the girl from the Zhao family took advantage of his unpreparedness to knock him unconscious with a stone, and then dragged him to see the head of the Zhao family.

"When the head of the Zhao family found out about this, he was so frightened that he hurriedly invited the heads of the Nie, Lu, Du, and Hua families to discuss how to deal with this matter. At the beginning, the five patriarchs couldn't believe that the Xu family would do something like this. They were just torture. The Xu family's son who was caught, after a whipping, that boy recruited everything. The five family heads knew that a catastrophe was imminent, and in order to protect themselves, they immediately discussed how to deal with it.

"After discussing with the five people, they thought that the Xu family was originally more powerful than the five families. If they compromised, it would only make the Xu family more arrogant. It's better to be ruthless and act first. Only by destroying the Xu family can the five families be safe. Nothing happened. So the five patriarchs first killed the arrested Xu family member and Zhao family girl, and pretended that they died in love..."

Hearing this, Li Qiufeng couldn't help but "ah", and said in his mouth: "It's not surprising that the surname Xu was killed. Why did you even kill the girl from the Zhao family who came back to report the letter? Isn't this a little unreasonable?"

Gao Cheng didn't take it seriously, and continued: "Of course the Xu family's children will get rid of Mikou. Fengmen Village is such a big place, and the Xu family members are far above the other five families. No matter where he is hidden, it is inevitable Was found by the Xu family. It is for the sake of safety, this kid must die. As for the girl of the Zhao family, one is that her innocence was tarnished by Xu, and keeping her will only embarrass the Zhao family. To cover up the matter. If the Zhao family also lost their lives, the Xu family would not be suspicious. Therefore, after the five patriarchs discussed, they killed the two together. Early the next morning, they placed the two corpses on the edge of the cliff On the ground, propped up with wooden sticks, two corpses could not be seen from a distance. Then rumors were spread in the village, saying that because the Zhao family did not agree with their marriage, the two would sacrifice their lives by jumping off a cliff to die in love. When the elder and the leaders of the other families rushed to the cliff, there were still more than a hundred feet away. The children of five families who had ambushed had already pulled the rope and pulled down the wooden sticks supporting the two corpses. The corpse, together with the stick and the rope, fell into the abyss.

"The Xu family saw that Xu family boy and the Zhao family girl jumping off the cliff together. They also knew that the two had been dating in private before, so they didn't become suspicious. At that time, the Xu family was fully preparing to burn and seal the house on the Shangyuan Festival. In the village, an ordinary clansman died, but he didn't take it seriously. The five families including Nie, Lu, Zhao, Du, and Hua were not idle, but they learned the lesson of the Xu family's children leaking the news and wanted to fight back. Only the five patriarchs and dozens of the most reliable members of the five families knew about the matter of the Xu family.

"At this time, the head of the Xu family changed his mind again. Because the venue of the Lantern Festival on the Lantern Festival is too large, and it is difficult to seal off all the venues, it is more difficult to burn the children of the five families to death. The head of the Xu family So they made an excuse to hold an ancestor worship meeting, and the venue was chosen in Qianyin Cave. There is a huge cave outside the stone gate of Qianyin Cave, which is shaped like a hall and can accommodate 5000 people. The head of the Xu family planned to use this cave , under the guise of offering sacrifices to the ancestors, after all the children of the other five families entered, the exits were immediately sealed off, and all the children of the five families were burned to death."

"At this time, the five families of Nie, Lu, Zhao, Du, and Hua have already understood the conspiracy of the Xu family. After hearing the arrangement of the head of the Xu family, they immediately knew that he was going to kill him outside Qianyin Cave. Therefore, after the heads of the five families discussed it, they decided to They decided to take this opportunity to wipe out the Xu family in one fell swoop. On the day of offering sacrifices to the ancestors, the elders of the five families made arrangements early. Apart from allowing some old, weak, sick and disabled members of the five families to enter the cave first, the able-bodied children of the family were deliberately late. And the children of the Xu family have already received the news that they will burn all the other five families to death in the cave on this day, so they will go all out. In order not to let the other five families suspect, the children of the Xu family will all enter the cave when they arrive, and only wait for the rest of the family to die. When the children of the five families arrived, they would suddenly attack and force the children of the five families to stay in the cave. After the children of the Xu family had withdrawn, they would light the pre-buried fire starters and burn all the children of the five families to death. in the cave.

"It's just that everyone in the Xu family doesn't know that the five families of Nie, Lu, Zhao, Du, and Hua have already taken precautions. They just let two to three hundred old, weak, sick and disabled members of the five families enter the cave with the children of the Xu family. Seeing the opportunity Here comes, the leader of the Hua family headed out a signal, and the children of the five families who had been ambushing around for a long time suddenly rushed out, sealed the cave exit, and fired rockets into the cave, igniting the fire that had been buried in the cave long ago. All of a sudden, the fire was everywhere, and the cave suddenly became a hell on earth."

Hearing what Gao Cheng said, Li Qiufeng couldn't help but shudder when he thought of the terrible scene where the Xu family's children and the two or three hundred people from the other five families who were tricked into the cave were engulfed by the fire.
