Chapter 421: Shen Huaijin
Zhang Xing returned to the front yard, and before he could sit for long, Li Yousheng came in, handed over a thing, and said, "Dongjia, this is the dead man's body, I don't think it's an ordinary thing, you see." ”
After Zhang Xing took a look, she immediately stood up and asked, "Is the person buried?" ”
Li Yousheng replied: "Not yet." ”
"Where? Take me there! Zhang Xing hurriedly said.
The dead man hooked up was at the back door of the Zhangji grain store. Because the owner ordered him to be buried, the guy in the shop had already bought a coffin. When Zhang Xing passed, the dead man had not yet entered the coffin.
The guy in charge of collecting the corpse in the shop pinched his nose and said, "This person doesn't look like he drowned......"
After he finished speaking, he saw Zhang Xing coming in, and hurriedly shouted respectfully: "The owner." ”
Zhang Xing walked next to the dead man, she had already heard what she had said just now. What the drowning person should look like, she also knows something, the one in front of her really doesn't look like a drowning, although the skin has been soaked white, but the stomach is not swollen, the chin has a short beard, although the face has been soaked white, but you can still see the approximate age, a strong man of about thirty or forty years old.
He An also came over, and after following Zhang Xing's side for a few looks, he squatted down and tore open the clothes on the dead man's body, revealing Bai Huahua's chest, and after seeing the two or three inches long wound on the chest, He An said: "Madam, this person was killed first, and then fell into the water." ”
Zhang Xing pinched the nameplate in his hand, looked at the face of the dead man in front of him, the memory of the past gradually became clear, and his hands and feet couldn't help but become cold.
He An looked at the wound on the dead man's chest, looked at his hands and feet, stood up and said beside Zhang Xing, "Madam, this Lian family." ”
Zhang Xing knew the meaning of this jargon, He An was saying that this person was not an ordinary person. If Zhang Xing was only a little suspicious before, he was indeed eight or nine points sure now. She turned to Li Yousheng and said, "Brother Yousheng, can you find a boat to come over?" ”
"Yes!" Li Yousheng agreed to come down. He was also a little apprehensive in his heart. Quantang is a small town, and in previous years, there were cases where such a vain death was thrown into the moat, but it was a war. There is no war here this year, this is another practitioner, and it is a corpse thrower, so it won't be chaotic again, right?
Li Yousheng went to find the boat, and the other guys in the shop put the dead man in the coffin and dragged him out.
He An followed Zhang Xing and Sun Baozhu into the study, and Zhang Xing handed the nameplate in his hand to He An.
"Shen?" He An hesitated for a moment, then said in surprise: "Does Madam suspect that this dead man belongs to the Shen family?" ”
Zhang Xing nodded, in fact, she was no longer more than suspicious. Although she can't remember people, some things are too profound, and sometimes she can remember what happened when she closes her eyes.
The Shen family's secret camp in the West Mountain, the huge iron cage, the delicious food that was carried out one after another, and the man in the green cloth shirt walked back and forth in the middle of the room, with a slight smile on his face, the short beard on his chin was tilted to the side, his hand pointed at random, and asked lightly, "Do you want to eat?" ”
"This, this can't be, right? Madame, Madame......"
Zhang Xing was startled by He An's voice. He An saw that Zhang Xing was clearly a little distracted, and swallowed the words that came to his mouth again.
Zhang Xing knew that He An didn't believe her guesses, and to be honest, she didn't believe it herself. But the facts are in front of you. The "Shen" on the nameplate could have multiple meanings, but none of them matched the fact that she had seen this thing before. When she was pressed into the bucket, there was such a thing hanging from Mrs. Wu's waist, and there was also the appearance of this person.
After such a long time, if it weren't for this brand, she wouldn't have thought of this person.
This person should be a very important figure in the Shen family, he was in charge of such an important matter more than ten years ago, and now he is afraid that he is in an important position.
But he actually died in the moat of Quantang Town.
Zhang Xing couldn't tell the origin of her guess about this matter. He An is also an understanding person, Zhang Xing didn't say, and he didn't continue to ask.
It didn't take long for Li Yousheng to return, and the boat had already reached the back of the seal.
“…… Liu Gonggong is the best water-based ...... in our town," Li Yousheng said to Zhang Xing.
Zhang Xing nodded, took Sun Baozhu He An on the boat, and Li Yousheng was also ready to get on the boat. Zhang Xing said: "Brother Sheng, you can't be missing from the shop." If someone comes, no matter what they ask, don't let it slip out. ”
"Hey." Li Yousheng had no choice but to get off the boat.
Zhang Xing took Sun Baozhu into the tent, and He An sat in the stern. The boat gradually left the shore, the river was wide, and most of the houses on one side closed their doors, and on the other side were woods, and the original path under the trees was long gone, and the grass and trees on the side floated on the water, and it was impossible to see how deep it was.
Liu Gonggong had already received Li Yousheng's orders, and he didn't ask much, and listened to the instructions to prop the boat out of Quantang Town. The river widened and the fields could be seen. Zhang Xing stared at the river and instructed Liu Gonggong to go against the current.
The town of Quantang is gradually moving away, and in addition to floating aquatic plants on the river, scattered wood and debris can sometimes be seen. Zhang Xing knew that these were probably rushing over from Yuyang.
"Madam, there is the Dongliu River ahead." Liu Gonggong said suddenly.
The moat of Quantang Town is divided by the Dongliu River, and the Dongliu River is the Huai River above. The water level of the Huai River is high, and the idle boats no longer dare to drive in the river.
"Go to the east and flow the river." Zhang Xing said in a deep voice.
Most likely, the body was washed down from upstream.
The captain answered, and with the strength of his men, the canopy turned into the Dongliu River. The river was a few feet wider, and there were trees on both sides, and because of the heavy water, except for the top row of trees, the others had been flooded, and there were weeds and branches floating around.
He An suddenly shouted, "Liu Gong leaned to the right." ”
Liu Gong propped up the boat and leaned to the right. Zhang Xing had also seen something floating in the woods on the right. As the boat got closer, Liu Chenggong exclaimed, "Mom, how can there be a dead man here?" ”
He An had already reached the bow of the boat, stuck the knife in his back, picked up and put on another pole, and hooked the floating dead man over. Zhang Xing also came out of the tent, and He An turned the dead man over. The dead man was dressed exactly the same as the one floating at the back door of the Zhangji Grain Store, all of them were green cloth clothes, and his face looked like he was in his early twenties, and there was an open opening on his neck, and the blood had been drained.
Zhang Xing distinguished for a long time, but she couldn't recognize this person. He An had already ripped off a sign from the dead man's waist, washed it in water, wiped it clean and handed it to Zhang Xing.
"Madame, look."
As soon as Zhang Xing took the thing, she knew that it was the same thing as the one in her left hand. The texture of the edge lines is similar, only slightly smaller, and there is also a "Shen" character on the top, and there is an extra "four" on the back.
She had a guess in her heart, so He An let go of the corpse, and the boat continued to move forward. I didn't go far, and the things on the river gradually increased, scattered wooden planks, tattered boxes, and so on.
Liu Gonggong was well-informed, and said tremblingly: "I'm afraid that something will happen to a ship in front." ”
He An had already grabbed the knife in his hand, Zhang Xing was standing next to him, and Sun Baozhu also touched a kitchen knife in his hand.
Liu Gonggong was frightened by their situation, and wanted to turn around several times, but thinking of the reward promised by Li Yousheng, he gritted his teeth and continued to prop the boat forward.
The smell of burning gradually increased in the water vapor, and He An's eyes were still sharp, and he pointed to the right and said, "Liu Gonggong leans to the right." ”
"Hey, hey." Liu Gonggong should prop the boat to the right.
Without pointing, Zhang Xing saw a person on a wooden board floating on the river on the right. This man was face down, and he was also dressed in green cloth.
When the boat approached, He An stretched out his hand to grab the plank, he first reached out and touched the man's neck, and looked up in surprise: "Madam, there is still gas!" ”
Zhang Xing stared at this person's back and head, and her heart suddenly jumped down.
He An is still waiting for Zhang Xing to speak, to save or not to save?
That Liu Gonggong was kind-hearted and said: "Saving people's lives is better than building a seventh-level floating slaughter, the owner is really kind-hearted." ”
Zhang Xing listened to his own voice and said, "Pull it up." ”
He An and Liu Gonggong each pulled one arm and pulled the person up. Zhang Xing had already taken a step back, looking at this person's face in a daze.
This person looked twenty-seven or eighteen years old, although his face was pale and swollen, but he could still see that his face was handsome and upright, and his temperament was elegant.
He An has already started to save people, he has already turned people over and is about to pour water. Zhang Xing grabbed him.
He An was about to ask. Liu Gonggong spoke first, "Owner, does the ship still have to go forward?" Sooner had it been, and it would have been dark. ”
Zhang Xing let go of He An and replied, "The boat is not moving forward, let's go back." ”
"Hey." Liu Gonggong answered, and the bed was bent. He An thought that Zhang Xingfang was unintentional, so he put it aside, padded the man's chest and abdomen, and patted his back a few times.
The man coughed a few times, spat out a few mouthfuls of water, and opened his eyes.
Zhang Xing was standing in front of him.
"Much, thank you, girl......" he said a few words, then closed his eyes again.
Zhang Xing looked at this person in a daze, and became more and more suspicious in her heart. However, at this moment, she is only guessing, and she is still entangled back and forth between saving and not saving.
If he doesn't save it, this person will definitely die, but if he does, what if he really - Shen Huaijin?
Zhang Xing saw Shen Huaijin, it was after the incident of Qingmeng Mountain, Zhang Tao fell into the hands of Zhang Tianyi, the big boss of Qingmeng Mountain, she and Shi Gu Xichao went to save people, Shi Xi shot first, but it fell into the hands of Shen Huaijin, if Gu Xichao didn't recognize the people, they would all die.
After many years, she can't remember what Shen Huaijin looked like at that time, plus this person has changed a little after blisters. Zhang Xing wasn't sure that he was Shen Huaijin.
She and Shi have lived so carefully until now because of this person. She and Shi had obviously escaped, but they were finally recognized, but they still had to go back, one put life and death aside and fought desperately under his command. And she, after so many years of hard work, had to hand over it all little by little.
To say that she doesn't hate, it's absolutely impossible, she wants this person to die, but what about after he dies? Can she and Shi escape from the Shen family? Or is it something else? Shen Huailin or Shen Qian?
Zhang Xing rarely thought about separating the Shen family before, since Yao Mingzhu was drugged, she suspected that the matter of the dense forest in Xishan might only be known to Shen Huaijin, or the true identity of her and Shi was only known to Shen Huaijin.
Otherwise, Shen Huailin would not have thought of getting the chapter in such a method.
The Shen family she wants to escape from may be only Shen Huaijin alone.
But she didn't dare to take any chances.
Shen Huailin and Shen Huaijin, let her choose, she will choose Shen Huaijin.
Just because Shen Huailin likes to attack women, she can't convince herself to work for such a person.
Even if it's just temporary.
When Zhang Xing was in a daze, He An had already looked at this person aside. He also had an upper wound on his body, but it was not fatal, and the wound was on the shoulder, and the wound was not deep. He An carried the wound medicine with him, and after checking it, he poured some for this person and simply covered it.
After dealing with it, He An replied in a low voice: "Although this person's life can be saved, I'm afraid it will take some time to get better." Zhang Xing nodded, still thinking in her heart, if she pushed this person down at this time, would it be safer.
However, after all, she didn't do it, not to mention that she was just guessing, and she wasn't the only one on this ship.
Of course, Liu Gonggong kept his mouth shut, but in the end, there will be hidden dangers left.
Shen Huaijin died here, how could Shen Qian not investigate?
The boat returned to Zhangji, Li Yousheng left the guy to sit at the back door, and when he saw the boat coming, the guy hurriedly called Li Yousheng out.
Li Yousheng was startled when he saw He An carrying a half-dead man off the boat.
Liu Gonggong was very kind, and interjected: "Does the owner want me to invite Xie Langzhong of the Baekje Medicine Hall over?" ”
Li Yousheng looked at Zhang Xing, and Zhang Xing Muran said, "Please." ”
Since she didn't dare to start, Shen Huaijin was still alive. Shen Qian is about to be proclaimed emperor in Anyang, and the next step must be to crown the prince and crown the king, Shen Huailin occupies the eldest son, Shen Huaijin occupies the military merits, and these two brothers still have to fight. If one dies, the other must be blessed.
This good thing is given to Shen Huailin?
Forget it.
Li Yousheng called the guy over, and instructed Xie Langzhong to invite Baekje Pharmacy, and explained: "Remember, just say that I'm a little uncomfortable, so don't say anything." ”
The guy went to invite Lang Zhong, Li Yousheng beckoned Liu Gonggong to come over, smiled and gossiped, gave money, and said in a low voice: "Liu Gong, today's matter, let you not talk about it outside, this year is not peaceful, let's say it is a good deed, and if other people look at it, it may not be." ”
The captain is also a spiritual man, and when he heard the words, he immediately knew the meaning. The dead people they saw earlier were the corpses that had been killed and then thrown away. Although this one is alive, at a glance, you can tell that it is all the way to the dead man in front of you. Who knows what kind of grudge there is, don't they save people with a good intention, but they involve themselves.
Liu Gonggong swore an oath: "Although the owner can rest assured, my province will save me." ”
After Liu Gonggong left, Li Yousheng looked left and right, and quickly closed the courtyard door.
