Chapter 406: One Blow

"At present, it has only been found that it was the hand of the dead soldier of He Shilang's family, and the reason is unknown. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

"How can you be sure that it is the dead soldier he raised?" The empress looked at Lady Yao's gaze as sharp as a knife, and if she didn't have any concentration, she probably couldn't bear it, but Lady Yao was obviously not, and under the pressure given by the empress, she said softly, "There were a few people who were killed at the scene, and I found this on them." ”

Lady Yao presented a piece of iron with both hands, the family crest of the He family on the top, and a line of numbers below.

The empress looked at the family crest, and her silver teeth gritted her jaw, "Good, good, good!"

The family crest of the He family was designed by the empress for He Yingfan, at that time, He Yingfan was just a seven-grade petty official, just entering the office, although the family was rich, but there was no power, and he couldn't even speak when he was squeezed by people in the court.

The empress happened to pass by and saw that the man next to her was either a son of a family with an extraordinary temperament, or a heroic general, and there was never a man as elegant as He Yingfan, who was squeezed to the point that his face turned red, but he was powerless to fight back.

There is a saying in this world that heroes save beauty.

The empress immediately decided to be this hero and save He Yingfan, a beauty.

After saving people, the two talked happily, and since then, He Yingfan has been in the eyes of the empress, becoming her confidant, and of course, becoming her guest of the curtain.

So when designing the family crest of the He family, she was very attentive, even if she couldn't marry him and couldn't give him children, even if he married another woman, all the children she gave birth to were under the emblem to accept her protection.

It's just that she never expected to see the family crest she designed on this piece of iron.

Dead soldiers!

What kind of people need to support the dead?

"Are you sure it's not the He family's guard?" the empress looked at Lady Yao with some expectation.

"No, He Shilang is a third-grade civil official, even if there are guards in the house, the number of people will not exceed thirty. Lady Yao's voice was cold, and she didn't seem to see the expectation in the empress's eyes. "But the number on these iron pieces has reached 1,000 people. ”

With a wave of her hand, the empress dropped the beauty bottle on the high table beside her, "How can you be sure that there is no problem with this number, there are really so many people?"

"No, but there are hundreds of people in black outside Lujia Village. "And they all died unexpectedly, and the murderers were cruel, according to the preciousness, one person, and the time of these people's deaths was very close, not more than a moment at most.

What does this mean?

Female Officer Yao didn't dare to think about it.

The Empress's focus was not on the murderer, "Dead soldiers, how can you be sure that they are dead soldiers?"

"They have poison in their back sockets. "And there are no scars on their bodies to resist, only the dead soldiers trained by special techniques will only seek to achieve their goals regardless of themselves.

The empress's sharp eyes were still staring at her, and Lady Yao sighed secretly, "There is another point, there is a girl in the housekeeper who was abused by someone, and the person who insulted her died in a very miserable state, these people, uh-huh, are all He Shilang's henchmen." ”

"Henchman?" the Empress asked lightly.

"Yes. Female Officer Yao lowered her head and looked at the carved lapis lazuli bricks in front of her, "Chen, I have seen them by He Shilang's side." ”

Are they more than one?

Lady Yao didn't dare to raise her head, because she felt the empress's sharp eyes stop on her head, she only felt a tingling sensation on her scalp, and the tingling sensation spread from the top of her head downward, all the way to the cervical spine and back, she could almost feel that beads of sweat slipped down her shoulders, and there was a tingling behind her ears.

She always knew that the empress was not good at waiting, but she never knew that the empress's gaze had weight, which weighed down her heart, and she was almost out of breath.

"Didn't you say that they died in such a terrible state, how could you recognize them?"

"The perpetrators seem to hate them very much, and abuse them as much as they can, and all the wounds on their bodies were suffered before they died, but their faces were not scarred at all, but they were tortured to death, so their faces were extremely distorted, and it was really difficult to recognize for a while. ”

The lines on the empress's face softened slightly, but as Lady Yao's voice sounded again, her face became extremely grim again.

When he checked their belongings, he found that they also had pieces of iron on them, as well as a handwritten letter from He Shilang. ”

"Is it to tell them to kill people and kill people?"

"Yes. "Lady Yao said in her heart, He Shilang can raise so many dead soldiers, and his ability is not small, but how can he reuse a few nonsense worms as henchmen? Or are they too big to expect that they will be discovered by others and then killed?

In fact, it was really guessed by Lady Yao!

He Shilang's people have been doing things all these years, because He Shilang is the empress's confidant, so no matter where they go, they are praised highly, and they have always done things smoothly, who knew that this time they would be kicked to the iron plate.

He Shilang raised these dead soldiers behind his back, and he couldn't contact them normally, and even if his henchmen wanted to mobilize the dead soldiers, they couldn't order them without He Shilang's warrant.

Therefore, after the henchmen mobilized the dead soldiers, they did not destroy the warrant as soon as possible, just to disobey these dead soldiers, so that they could be used as a deterrent, and no one thought that they would pull the boss's hind legs because of this!

When He Shilang learned that the housekeeper had been killed, he laughed happily.

"What about He Qiang, aren't they done and gone to the gold cave again?" He Shilang was a little displeased, whoever learned that his subordinates had finished their work, they would not come to report the information to him at the first time, but lingered in the Qinglou Casino, they would be very unhappy.

"Nope. The steward shook his head, "He Qiang, they haven't heard from them since they left that day." Somehow, the steward has been restless since that day, feeling as if something was going to happen.

But he didn't dare to tell the master, the lord seems to be gentle and elegant, but in fact, the lord has a great temper, and if something doesn't suit him, a shot is heavy, and others are displeased to smash the cup and shake the plate, their master doesn't smash the cup or shake the plate, he shoots and pinchs people's throats until he loses his breath.

"Check it out. "He Qiang is one of his henchmen, he is a good person, his ears are soft, if he is praised by those guys below, he will be dizzy and forgetful, so the thing is done, and he does not return immediately, but takes people to the Qinglou or casino to celebrate, which is not surprising, I am afraid of it......

No matter how much money they have on them, after six or seven days, they still haven't spent it? How can they go to sell the Golden Cave without money, perhaps, they have made a lot of money in the housekeeper's housekeeper, thinking of the hot sales of the housekeeper's wine, He Shilang sneered, maybe they have really made a windfall on this errand! The money has not been spent, probably they will not see them in return!

Just thinking about it, the steward who had just gone out hurriedly turned around, "Master." ”

Seeing that the steward's originally red face turned pale and pale, He Shilang sighed in his heart, "Say, what's wrong?"

"Master, it's being said outside that the housekeeper of Lujia Village was killed overnight. ”

"Isn't that expected?" He Shilang glared at him, "What's worth all the fuss about?"

The steward shook his head in a panic, "No, no, it's not this, yes, someone found the bodies of nearly a hundred people outside Lujia Village, no, it's not the housekeeper's people, those people are all dressed in black." After the steward finished stammering, he saw He Shilang get up in a panic, his movements were too big, and he brought the chair behind him to the ground, making a dull sound.

"What?" He Shilang asked with a pale face as he tugged at the butler's shirt. "Say it again. ”

"Yes, yes, yes. "The steward was so strangled that he could barely speak, and his face was almost white," said nearly 100 bodies dressed in black outside Lujia Village. The steward, who was so frightened that he stammered a little, felt that his life was threatened, and immediately finished his words in one breath, but after he finished speaking, his face was already blue and completely out of breath.

He Shilang glanced at him disdainfully and threw it away, "Hundred, how many people did He Qiang lead away this time?"

"Hundred, ahem, hundred. The steward lay on the ground, coughing and answering, it felt good to escape, but He Shilang's next question immediately made his heart tighten again.

"Since the dead soldiers are all dead, how many of them can be strong?"

Of course, He Shilang is not only He Qiang's confidant, He Qiang was sent to do errands that day, and he also pulled a few friends with him, and shouted, there are blessings to share, and money to earn together, he just sneered when he heard it, and he didn't care.

In the past few days, although those henchmen are not there, because there are other people there, he has not delayed things, so he has not paid attention to it.

"He Qiang, a few of them, are all dead! And they died very miserably. The steward gritted his teeth and continued, "The little friend in the yamen quietly sent a letter to the little one, and asked the little one to tell the adults that he had quietly thrown away the things on He Qiang and them, and the government should not be able to find out about our house." ”

He Shilang gave him a rare compliment, "Okay." The steward smiled, and He Shilang said again, "You have a good friend." As he spoke, he ripped off the purse on his waist, "Take it and reward him, so that he can do things for me in the future, and the old man will not treat him badly." ”

"Yes, Master Xie, Master Xie. The steward held the purse and thanked him repeatedly, rubbing the purse lightly, and heard the sound of silver tickets coming from the purse, and the corners of the steward's face and mouth were torn apart.

"Let's go down!"

"Yes. ”

The steward happily held his purse and retreated, and as soon as he left, He Shilang clapped his hands and beckoned the little servant waiting in the study, "Go and invite a few gentlemen." ”

The little guy nodded and turned around and left, and after a short time, he brought five or six staff members over, He Shilang told them what the steward said, several staff members had obviously heard about it, and they were not surprised when they heard He Shilang talk about it, but they heard that He Qiang was disposed of separately, and the staff's faces were slightly gloomy.

"Master, although someone has already disposed of their things, they are always with you, and it is hard to guarantee that no one will remember them. ”

"I know. He Shilang's face sank like water, "I didn't expect these guys to die there, really." He paused and said, "What I'm worried about now is not only the exposure of their identities, but also the jade pendant." ”

The reason why He Qiang and them took the dead soldiers to the housekeeper was not to kill people, but to rob the jade pendant, and now that the housekeeper is dead, the dead soldiers and He Qiang are also dead, so what about the jade pendant? Is it still in the housekeeper, or does it fall into the hands of the people who killed them?

The dead soldiers he trained, every one of them was top-notch, and now they are all dead? Who killed them? Why did He Qiang and them die so miserably? How did their deaths differ from those of the dead soldiers? Is it because they are seen to have taken the lead? Or is there another reason?

A series of questions pressed on He Shilang's heart, he wanted to send someone to the yamen to ask, but he was a household servant, this murder case was none of his business, if he really sent someone to the yamen to care, it would cause people to be suspicious, but let him do nothing, so wait?

Someone in the staff volunteered, "My lord, the students have fellow villagers who work in the yamen, so it is better to let the students give it a try." ”

"It's okay, I'll trouble Mr.!" He Shilang bowed.

"It should. The staff returned the salute.
