Late at night, the mounds were buried in disorder.
several figures sneaking around, digging with the shovel on the ground.
The dust is flying.
The weak fire light, looked from afar, looked like two regiments of ghost fire.
Don't go near the mound.
Not to mention the night, that is, in broad daylight, there is no living person within four or five miles.
Bang!
This is something dug up.
several people dropped their shovel and jumped down the earth pit to dig the earth with their hands.
In the distance, there are wild dogs waiting for an opportunity to move.
Once the vigilance is relaxed and the flaws are revealed, these wild dogs who are used to eating human flesh will rush up and tear up people.
"We've got people."
"Get people out of here."
"Make sure you're in charge first."
Sweep away the dust from the corpse, turn the man over, and take a candle to have a close look.
"It's a big boss. Young master, we found the body of the leader. "
In the dark, there was a man.
He looks very young in his grey robe, gentle and scholarly. He is in his twenties at most.
He came out of the darkness, came to the pit and looked at the face of the corpse.
Then he nodded and said, "it's really my father. Load the corpses and we leave Beijing overnight. "
Several subordinates lifted up the corpse, put them into the corpse bags that had been prepared, tied them tightly, and prepared to carry them down the mountain.
"Young master, shall we go back to Jiangnan?" Asked the subordinate.
"You go back to the south of the Yangtze River and bury the leader. I will stay in the capital and continue to study. "
"Childe?"
Under the moonlight, a young face showed a slight smile, "don't you understand that there is no future to be a pirate. My father's fate is enough to ring an alarm for everyone
Subordinates angry, "the big prince killed the big master, don't you avenge the big leader?"
Sure enough, the corpse in the body bag was Zhou Jin who was dead and disappeared.
Young childe, such as fake, in exchange for Zhou Jin's eldest son. But not Zhou, but with her grandmother's surname, Yuan Yong.
Yuan Yong's face was cold, and his gentle and handsome face was suddenly overcast, and his killing intention overflowed.
Several subordinates all became nervous, with waist knives in their hands, ready to take precautions.
Yuan Yong snorted coldly, "can a pirate get revenge? Stupid! I tell you, being a pirate can never get revenge. If you want revenge, you can only be an official and a senior official. "
Several subordinates looked at each other.
A moment later, one of the subordinates said, "you are right. Liu Zhao was protected by guards when he went in and out. It was extremely difficult to assassinate him. The only way to kill Liu Zhao is to be an official and a senior official. "
"How to kill with a knife?" Asked the others.
Yuan Yong chuckled, "naturally, the emperor killed Liu Zhao."
"It's a wonderful plan, but I don't know how many years it will take."
Yuan Yong said: "there is no need to worry about this matter. I have my own opinion. You will send the body of the big leader back to the south of the Yangtze River for burial, and you will be dissolved directly and go home. "
Subordinates said: "but the chief told me to wait, to protect in the childe side."
Yuan Yong said, "I don't need your protection. The great leader is dead. In the eyes of the world, my son passed away a year ago. Now, except you, no one knows my real identity, and no one has ever seen me. What's more, I am a scholar now. You are not suitable to stay with me. "
"You are right. If we continue to stay with the young master, we will only bring trouble to him. "
Several subordinates discussed, and finally decided to listen to Yuan Yong's advice, take Zhou Jin's body south, and then go home to be a good citizen and live a good life.
After negotiation, several subordinates took turns to carry Zhou Jin's body down the mountain, put them into the coffin bought in advance, and drove the carriage south along the official road.
Yuan Yong stood by the roadside and watched them leave in the moonlight.
I don't know when Yuan Yong had an old man around him.
"Chen Bo, the next thing is up to you."
The old man nodded, "when they bury the big boss, the small will solve them one by one, and let them go down to accompany the big leader."
Yuan Yong nodded, "Chen Bo goes early and returns early. I can't do without you."
"Don't worry, young master, I will go back to the capital as soon as possible to wait on him to study."
"Very good!"
Chen Bo quickly disappeared in the night, like a ghost, whew, disappeared.
In the night, Yuan Yong stepped on the ground gently, his body was wandering and ghosts, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
……
After staying in the capital for a few days, Hu'an explained everything and set off for the south of the Yangtze River.
His roots are in the south of the Yangtze River, and he is willing to return to the south of the Yangtze River.
The prince needs him to integrate the pirates.
He was sure that as long as he could prove that he was useful, the prince would not abandon him, and there might be a chance for him to be promoted and become rich.Bringing Zhou Jin into the trap and killing Zhou Jin is the most wonderful thing he has ever done in his life.
So he was very proud.
Going south by boat, I specially asked two brothel girls to accompany me.
All day long, the boats went on and off.
That night, the passenger ship stopped at a Fucheng wharf for a rest.
He got off the boat to drink flower wine as usual, and was very drunk.
On the way back to the boat, he belched.
The lights were flickering and silent in the distance, and it seemed that everyone was asleep.
Suddenly, a pair of hands climbed up his neck.
It's cold. It's like a poisonous snake.
Juan shuddered as he settled in.
He stopped for a moment, intending to turn back.
The head just turned, click
A crisp sound.
He felt his head droop, which he couldn't do on weekdays.
No, he seems to be dead.
He had his neck broken.
He could see a corner of ash in the corner of his eye.
This is his last moment in the world, staying in the gray corner of his clothes.
Bang!
Heavy objects fall into the water!
In this silent night, there was no attention.
Only on the nearby ship, two lights were on and soon went out.
Yuan Yong took out his handkerchief and gently wiped his palm.
The breeze blows at the corners of my robes.
The gray clothes and robes are like a poor scholar.
He was smiling gently in the afternoon.
Throw the handkerchief in the river.
The handkerchief went down with the current, which rolled and raised a few drops of spray. In a twinkling of an eye, the handkerchief disappeared on the water.
Yuan Yong said softly, "betrayers must die!"
He left quickly in the night.
……
Juan disappeared.
You can't live without a man, you can't die without a corpse.
Qian Fu reported the news to Liu Zhao as soon as possible.
Liu Zhao frowned, "where are the people who follow him?"
"Dizzy with overpowering drugs, I don't know anything. Old slaves are incompetent. "
"It's none of your business. If he wants to escape, he can always find a way. There is no reason to guard against thieves for a thousand days. "
Qian Fu guessed, "could it be Zhou Jin's people who killed him?"
"Maybe. People like Juan don't usually end well. "
Liu Zhao was not surprised whether Juan was alive or dead.
What they do is to lick blood at the edge of a knife, and killers are always killed. What's more, Juan is still a traitor.
Qian Fu asked, "do you need someone to find him?"
Liu Zhao shook his head, "don't waste manpower on such people. If he's dead, that's all. If he is alive, one day he will have nowhere to go and will find his own door. "
"I see."
Juan's death, even a splash did not stir up, everything is over.
……
Zhou Miao is not dead.
He drank the antidote in time and survived.
A few days later, he came to Xiaozhu in person and met Gu Jiu.
He didn't mention a word about Jiang Yan and poisoning.
"The matter that madam asks us to check, already had the result."
Gu Jiu greets him to drink tea, "so soon there is a result, worthy of Zhou Gonggong."
Zhou miaoye ha ha of, "our family takes a horse, did not have to check out. After asking around, I finally found the source of the rumors. "
"Which lady in the palace doesn't like me and deliberately arranges my gossip?" Gu Jiu asked.
Zhou Miao said, "may I have a guess, madam?"
Gu Jiu shakes his head. "My wife doesn't guess, just say who it is."
Zhou Miao laughs, "it's Shen Xianfei."
"It was her."
Gu Jiu sneered.
Zhou Miao is surprised, "Madam already guessed?"
"She's the most suspect. I didn't expect it was her."
"Madame is not curious. There are so many rumors. Why is there no movement in Weiyang palace and empress Pei doesn't send someone to tell her?"
Gu Jiu raised eyebrows and asked, "do you know why?"
Zhou Miao lowered his voice and said mysteriously, "it seems that empress Pei agrees with the content of the rumor very much. After all, for so many years, the emperor's highness had only his wife, not to mention the side room. He didn't even have a housemaid. All the servant girls around him were expelled from the palace.
Many people say that the wife is skillful and envious, but she can be protected by her royal highness. There are a lot of people in the palace who want to ask their wives about their experiences. "
Gu Jiu looked at Zhou Miao with a smile, "don't tell my wife, you are also one of the disseminators of rumors."
"My wife is wronged. No matter how long our mouth is, it is impossible for us to arrange lady's gossip." Zhou Miao swore and swore that he would be struck by thunder and lightning.Gu Jiu raises his hand and presses down on Xu Xu to stop Zhou Miao from going on.
"All right, Mrs. Ben said casually. You look so nervous that you seem guilty."
Zhou Miao was wronged, "we are proving innocence, not guilty."
Gu Jiu said: "this time, my wife owes you a favor."
"Zhou Miao laughs," the madam does not have to owe us the human feeling
Gu Jiu picks eyebrow, clear smile, "have no money to use?"
"My wife knows me." Zhou Miao didn't have any shame.
Gu Jiu clapped her hands, and soon maid a Qing came in with a wooden box and put it on the table.
Zhou Miao rubbed his hands and looked excited.
He wanted to reach out, but was blocked by Gu Jiu.
Gu Jiu's hand pressed on the wooden box and said to him, "for a period of time, pay attention to Princess Shen Xian for me."
Zhou Miao excitedly said: "madam, don't worry, we promise not to let you down."
Gu Jiu smiles and pushes the wooden box forward.
Zhou Miao held up the wooden box in both hands and did not open it.
Gu Jiu's credibility is completely trustworthy.
He said: "madam, wait for my good news, Princess Shen Xian, but if there is a disturbance, I will tell you the first time."
