309. 325: Can't escape
"Yes, yes......" The coachman had to walk towards the misty woods, he was the only one Zhang Youhan brought out of Shangshu Mansion, if he refused to do this, I am afraid that he would have to wait for death like everyone else.
The woods are very dark, as if the moonlight can't shine here, Zhang Youhan is holding his baby package, and he can't see the outside scene, the car is also dark, he is at ease as long as the money is by his side, so he is not as simple as the coachman, although there are many dead people in this foggy forest, but no one has seen the corpse with their own eyes, what if they have escaped out of the city and have not returned, so they are regarded as dead?
The sound of a bird echoing through the woods, and it was so sharp and unpleasant that the coachman had never heard such a bird before, and he became more and more frightened, and the whip that drove the horse was thrown heavier, and the horse quickened in pain and ran forward.
"Goo~~" A strange cry sounded in front, it was very infiltrating, and the coachman quickly stopped the carriage.
After Zhang Youhan felt that the carriage had stopped, he asked a little unhappily, "What's wrong?" ”
"Sir, there seems to be something calling ...... ahead," said the coachman, trembling.
"What do you mean? Isn't it just a bird calling? Are you a big man so daring? "Zhang Youhan is willing to take any danger as long as he has money, and he is very bold, he is now running away, the coachman is as timid as a mouse, it is simply delaying his time!
The coachman looked around cautiously, it was pitch black, and occasionally there was a black shadow flashing, which was terrifying, he heard Zhang Youhan's impatience, so he could only swallow his saliva and continue to drive.
Zhang Youhan was very proud at this time, he didn't know who killed the other court officials, but that person must not have imagined that he had already made a plan, and now he should be trapped in Shangshu Mansion and be in a hurry, right? No, no, no, it should be waiting for death! The smile on Zhang Youhan's face became deeper and deeper, and he had to praise his shrewdness and cunning.
"Huh~" At this time, the carriage stopped urgently, Zhang Youhan almost hit his head, he yelled: "What's the matter!?" ”
"Sir, there is, there is a person." The coachman replied tremblingly, it was so dark here, and he only noticed that there was a person standing there in front of him when he was very close, he should be dressed in black, it was difficult to find, but the sickly white face in the night, he could see it really.
Is there a guy here in the middle of the night? At this time, Zhang Youhan also had a cold war, he muttered in his heart, ghost or human?
Nangong Jue chased after the east of the city according to what Jiang Yue said, and sure enough, he found a hurried carriage, running all the way to the east, he followed, just now in Shangshu Mansion, he himself didn't understand how he could untie those mechanisms lightly, and he felt as if he had encountered very complicated mechanisms before, and he was used to it.
He couldn't remember breaking the Hundred Miles Setup in the Haunted House so many times.
"Leave him alone, get around!" Zhang Youhan commanded, and said that no one can get out of here alive, isn't there still a living person? That's good news, right?
"Master, around, around, it seems to be ......" The coachman was completely silent after saying this, Zhang Youhan heard a "plop" sound, the sound of something heavy planting on the ground, and then fell into silence.
Zhang Youhan's heart was no longer relaxed, and he shouted tentatively: "What are you doing?" ”
It was still silent outside, not even the strange birdsong.
Zhang Youhan sighed in his heart, just now the coachman said that there was a person, so why did he speak, and that person didn't answer?
"Speak! Zhang Youhan shouted loudly as he approached the car curtain, and through the gap when the car curtain fluttered, he saw a black shadow lying on the place where the coachman was sitting, and he didn't have to think about it, the black shadow was the corpse of the coachman.
Zhang Youhan knew that the person who came was not good, whether it was a person or a ghost, there might not be good fruit to eat, he suddenly lifted the curtain, and then kicked the coachman down, picked up the reins of the horse himself, and slapped the horse's butt fiercely regardless of thirty-seven or twenty, and the horse suddenly neighed, and rushed to the other side of the woods.
When Zhang Youhan saw the scene outside, he couldn't help but shudder, it was dark outside, and there seemed to be fog, which was very eerie, and the coachman said that there were people, but he didn't see anyone at all.
Zhang Youhan rushed to the depths of the woods like crazy, he didn't want to stay in this weird woods for a moment, but at this time, he suddenly felt that there seemed to be a noise in the carriage, and there was hair on his back, where were all his treasures! Who the hell got in?
The carriage stopped, Zhang Youhan belonged to the kind of person who asked for money and did not want his life, he jumped out of the carriage and asked into the car: "Who are you?" Don't pretend to be a ghost, come out for me!! ”
Nangong Juezheng opened the package, grabbed a handful of stacks of silver tickets, he heard Zhang Youhan's question, so he put down the package and opened the curtain with his hand, a pale face was particularly conspicuous in the dark night, his delicate facial features were not a little angry, he looked at Zhang Youhan with a smile.
Zhang Youhan took a step back abruptly and said in a panic: "Your Majesty...... No, Lord Wang...... Who are you? Are you the emperor or the prince? ”
Could it be Nangong Heng? In order to find out the money he embezzled, this bureau was set up? Zhang Youhan denied this idea, he saw Nangong Heng every morning, how could that gentle Nangong Heng have this evil spirit?
"Who do you say I am?" Nangong Jue smiled coldly, before Zhang Youhan could react, Nangong Jue's people were already standing in front of him.
Emperor? Rajah? Nangong Jue remembered these two titles in his heart, it seems that Tang Li can believe their words again, he is indeed a royal person.
"The emperor's ......" Zhang Youhan preferred to believe that this was the emperor, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "You are finally back, the minister has been looking for you for a long time......"
It's a pity that he knocked the wrong person, Nangong is not only not the emperor, but he is not even sure who he is.
"I'm not the emperor." Nangong absolutely shattered Zhang Youhan's hopes, if it was Nangong Ze, at least there was a way to live, after all, Zhang Youhan was Nangong Ze's most confidant, and he didn't know about corruption, so he wouldn't kill him.
Zhang Youhan's body was weak, and he almost collapsed on the ground, he looked at Nangong Jue's eyes that were darker than the night, and he couldn't believe it: "......Are you the prince?" ”
The prince went through a fire, but didn't he die?
"I'm not a prince either." Nangong Jue still denied his identity for the time being.
"And who are you?" Zhang Youhan asked in horror.
"I'm a ghost who came to ask for my life." The corners of Nangong Jue's mouth hooked, and a ghostly smile was raised, Zhang Youhan's martial arts foundation was not weak, he was ready to fight to the death with Nangong, but he found that his body was numb and he couldn't move.
Nangong Jue raised his hand, the fingertips of his index finger and thumb rubbed gently, and some fine white powder floated down, Zhang Youhan could also vaguely see that he was poisoned by Nangong Jue! How could this man poison him without a word? The beads of sweat on Zhang Youhan's face rolled down like soybeans, and he encountered the most difficult catastrophe.
"What, what? Who are you? Do we have a grudge? "Zhang Youhan has done too many bad things in his life, and he can't remember who he has a grudge with.
Nangong Jue shook his head: "Do you have a grudge with me, I don't remember it for the time being, but do you still remember the Lu family ten years ago?" ”
The Lu family? A bloody picture immediately flashed in Zhang Youhan's mind, he led people to kill all the Lu family, leaving only Lu Jiang, who was still on a mission outside, Lu Jiang was a killer at that time, and took the task to kill Zhang Youhan, but he relented for a while and let him go, how could he swallow this breath? After finding out Lu Jiang's identity, he led people to slaughter the Lu family.
Zhang Youhan looked at Nangong Jue in disbelief, he remembered that he had killed them all, who was this man?
"Today, you should also go underground and confess your mistakes to the dozens of people in the Lu family." Nangong Jue approached Zhang Youhan, the knife on his cuffs flashed, and a sharp dagger was revealed, Zhang Youhan recognized the dagger, the short dagger that Lu Jiang used when he came to kill him back then, and now he wants to use this dagger again to end this hatred?
"Spare me, there's a lot of money in that carriage, can you take it all? I promise that I won't say anything, I will leave the capital and go to a far place, and I will never let you be discovered, I didn't kill the people of the Lu family back then, not ......" Zhang Youhan is still trying to find a way to quibble.
When Lu Mengyao was under the table, she clearly heard Zhang Youhan say: "Lao Tzu's name is Zhang Youhan, and he has to die in my hands today!" ”
Nangong Jue raised his dagger, approached Zhang Youhan's neck, and asked, "I don't want money, I want your life." ”
"Don't, don't ......" Zhang Youhan's body was completely stiff and couldn't move, the fear in his heart drove him to the verge of madness, this feeling of death was close at hand, he was extremely scared, and his voice was hoarse, with a thick pleading.
The sharp tip of the dagger sank into Zhang Youhan's neck, the knife was extremely sharp, inserted into his throat, and it took a while before bleeding, Nangong Jue didn't enter all the daggers, leaving only the hilt.
"These words, you can keep them below and explain them to the Lu family." Nangong Jue got up and returned to the carriage, he wiped his hands with the curtain of the carriage, although it was not stained with blood, he still felt disgusted.
There are countless people who died in this wood, all because of miasma, and today there are two more people, who were killed here, Nangong Jue drove the carriage and took a look at the miasma-filled woods, this is not a place to stay for a long time.
Zhang Youhan exhaled his last breath, his eyes were wide open, with a frightened and incredulous expression on his face, looking at the gray sky, he definitely didn't expect that after being cunning all his life, he would finally die so miserably because of the debt ten years ago.
But this is all retribution, Lu Jiang, who was far away in the bamboo house, woke up from his dream, it seemed to be raining outside, his heart was a little inexplicably relaxed, he got up and closed the window, returned to bed and continued to sleep.
