Volume 1 Wanfu Chapter 90 The Greatest Hope
After the arrangement was completed, Shen Leng looked at Zhao Feng's corpse for a moment, and then was a little annoyed: "I'm really not the kind of person who is calculating, if it were, I would handle it better." ”
Chen Ran asked, "How do you say it?" ”
Shen Leng said: "This is evidence, if you don't kill him, you will first tie him up and send someone back to the camp of the water master to hand it over to the Admiral, and it will definitely be used in the future, although it is not that there is no evidence now, but after all, it is not as convincing as a living person." ”
Someone in the ten-person team was injured, although it was not serious, but it was inevitable that there would be infections after a long journey, and Shen Leng naturally didn't want his brothers to have an accident, so after thinking for a while, he decided to change the strategy he had formulated before.
"Ma Sheng!"
Shen Leng shouted, and a personal soldier hurriedly ran over: "What's the matter, captain." ”
Shen Leng said: "Zheng Cheng is injured, although we have the medicine with us, I am still worried that something will happen, I will give you a task, and you will send Zheng Cheng back to the camp of the water division." ”
"Huh?!"
Ma Sheng was obviously a little surprised: "I'll go back?" But Captain, you only took a few of us with you when you came out this time, and then go back to two more in case you ......."
"What's in case, not only to bring Zheng Cheng back to recuperate, but also something very important."
Shen Leng pointed to the corpses of those Guantangkou killers: "After a while, after dawn, I will arrange for someone to buy two large boxes and lime, cut off the heads of these people and put them in the box, cover them with lime, and the two of you will find a dart bureau to hire someone to send the box back to the water master, and you must hand it over to the Admiral, as well as those repeaters." ”
Shen Leng said: "These crossbows may be able to find out a big case, and we can't be passive when the time comes." ”
Ma Sheng nodded: "Okay, my subordinates understand." ”
Shen Leng explained a few words to the others, and decided to delay for half a day, bury these corpses on the spot, put the heads into the box and bury them with lime, and even the crossbow was hidden in the box, it was already winter, the temperature was already very low, and it should not be noticed when sent back to the sailor camp all the way, and then there was lime to cover up the smell, and the dart masters had rules not to open it casually, these things may not be used now, and when they are used, they may be of great effect.
At noon the next day, Shen Leng's two subordinates changed into the clothes of the Guantangkou killer, and entrusted a dart bureau to send the two boxes to the water division, and the two of them went on the road with the dart car, which was safer.
After all the arrangements were made, it was already dark, and it was delayed for two hours longer than expected, Shen Leng asked the black market again, and sold all the horses in Guantangkou, and one hundred and ten horses made a lot of money and distributed them directly to everyone, as for the weapons, Shen Leng was afraid that they would fall into the hands of those wicked people, and they were all smashed and buried.
This is Dongchi County, and the wind and grass in the county town can soon reach Li Xiaoran's ears.
After Shen Leng sold the things, he let his people go back to the forest to rest, he took Yang Qibao and Gu Le to follow the people in the black market, and the person rushed to the outside of the manor under the mountain before dark, and waited for a while to be called in.
Shen Leng and the three of them glanced at each other, and then found a restaurant in the town not far from the manor and ordered a few dishes casually, if the black market man went back, he would definitely pass by.
After waiting for less than half an hour, the man really hurried over outside the restaurant, Shen Leng got up, and Yang Qibao and Gu Le followed.
After leaving the town, there was no one on the official road, so Shen Leng and they chased after him and dragged the man directly into the forest on the side of the road.
That guy was a man in his thirties, he looked very frightened, obviously he didn't expect Shen Leng to follow him, and his face was bloodless after being tied to a big tree by Gu Le.
Shen Leng asked, "Why did you go to that manor?" ”
"I ...... Where am I going to ask you for instructions? ”
Shen Leng asked again: "That manor should be Li Xiaoran, the son of the king of letters, right, is Li Xiaoran in the manor now." ”
"I don't know what you're talking about."
Shen Leng felt a little regretful: "I'm really not good at coercing confessions. ”
Gu Le punched the guy in the nose, and directly burst out a stream of blood, and Shen Leng was shocked again in his heart...... I haven't carefully understood Gu Le before, after all, it's not his subordinate who is Yang Qibao's team mate, this person is ruthless, very ruthless, even more ruthless, and ruthless in killing, he has a wolf-like ruthlessness in his bones, Shen Leng is very curious about what he went through to become like this.
"In the future, if you force a confession, the captain will hand it over to me."
Gu Le sneered at Shen, there was something frightening in that smile.
He turned to look at the black market horse dealer: "You went to tell Li Xiaoran, right, it seems that Li Xiaoran must have ordered you something, let you always pay attention to unusual things in Dongchi County, unusual people, and of course we are unusual people." ”
He pulled out the knife: "I used to be an executioner for a while, that is, the kind of person who specializes in cutting off heads, I have studied how to kill people with a knife for a long time, and it is the easiest to cut down from here, and the head will fall in response." ”
Gu Le's hand pressed on the back of the horse dealer's neck: "This is it." ”
The horse dealer trembled involuntarily, his Adam's apple moved up and down, and he swallowed a mouthful of foam with difficulty: "I really don't know what you're asking, I'm just a small common man, doing a little business......"
"Ordinary people dare to sell horses?"
Gu Le put the knife on the horse dealer's neck, the blade was sharp, and it was enough to cut a cut in the man's neck without pressing down, and he pressed the horse dealer's ear and said: "What we sold you is not a horse or a mule, if you do this business all the year round, you can naturally see that it is an animal that can be used as a war horse, you dare to buy it, I guess it must be bought for His Royal Highness the prince." ”
"His Royal Highness the Prince almost became a big deal back then, and now he is secretly recruiting troops in private, what An's thoughts are clear, we will hand over this case to the Criminal Department, and you will be punished by the Nine Clans."
The horse dealer's face turned from white to blue, and his body trembled violently: "Don't talk nonsense, I'm just a horse dealer, I don't understand what you're talking about, I'm just ...... I'm just a businessman. ”
"You don't know, it doesn't matter if you really don't know or pretend not to know, the matter of the prince buying a horse is publicized, I'm not sure if the prince will die, after all, it is the blood of the royal family, it is certain that you will be exterminated by the nine clans, if the court does not kill you, the prince will also destroy you."
Gu Le raised the knife, tore off a piece of clothing from the horse dealer and bandaged the wound for him: "You tell us the truth, we don't publicize this matter, you don't say it yourself, the court doesn't know, the prince doesn't know, after we leave, you will act as if nothing happened, this is the best choice." ”
The horse dealer's lips were a little purple, and it was obvious that he was really scared to the extreme.
"Think about it yourself, in fact, you only have four choices, the first is to carry it hard, we can't get anything from you, so we kill you, the second is that we don't kill you, the son of the world kills you, and the third court kills you...... The last one. ”
Gu Le looked into his eyes: "I already told you just now. ”
"Who the hell are you guys and what do you want to do?!"
The horse dealer's eyes were blood-red and he glared at Gu Le, and he wanted to raise his hand to strangle Gu Le to death.
"You don't have to know."
Gu Le asked, "Is the prince in the manor?" ”
"Yes...... Be! ”
The horse dealer gritted his teeth and nodded.
"How did he explain it to you?"
"He said let's pay more attention to some people wearing the uniforms of the sailors, not only me, but all the Shizi's subordinates who are hiding among the peddlers' pawns are watching, as long as they enter Dongchi County, they will immediately tell the Shizi to know."
Shen Leng also knew in his heart when he heard this, he had thought of it before, so he was not surprised.
He was more curious about what kind of person Gu Le was.
It seems that he is only twenty-six or seventeen years old, his background is very ordinary, and he has indeed been an executioner for two years, but Daning is a peaceful world, and he has not necessarily cut off people's heads in those two years, but Shen Leng believes that what Gu Le said just now is true, and he has really studied how to cut off his head with the most effort and speed.
Born?
Such a person seems to be more suitable to walk in the dark in the palace of the court lieutenant of the criminal department, wearing a brocade robe as black as ink, rather than in the soldiers.
"What's more, whether it's related to the sailors or not, as long as it's what happened in the manor in the past two days, whoever has come, all of them."
Gu Le continued to ask.
"What else or someone?"
The horse dealer was out anyway at this time, and after thinking about it, he said: "There is a Mr. Yuan from Chang'an City, who said that he is from the university scholar's mansion, and it has only been a few days, oh yes...... The soldiers of the water division in Qingya County took off the official uniform of the county order, and the prince may be looking for you because of this. ”
Gu Le laughed: "You are smart. ”
Horse dealer: "Of course it's you, otherwise you would be asking what you're doing." ”
"There's someone from the university's mansion."
Shen Leng looked at the horse dealer: "With your status, you can't know these things. ”
"I ...... I am on good terms with a maid next to the prince in the manor, and she ...... She told me. ”
Gu Le smiled: "It seems that you have one more reason why the son of the world will kill you." ”
Shen Leng asked, "Do you know where this Mr. Yuan lives?" ”
"I live in the manor, but it's just a courtyard, and it's just a lotus pond across the place where His Royal Highness the Prince lives, and it's not too close to walking."
"You know that."
"His Royal Highness's guests will be arranged there when they enter the manor."
Gu Le looked at Shen Leng: "Do you want to ask anything?" ”
Shen Leng shook his head, Gu Le immediately raised the knife, and the horse dealer's face immediately turned pale again.
With a snap, Shen Leng grabbed Gu Le's wrist: "You're going to kill him?" ”
Gu Le was stunned: "Don't you kill?" ”
Shen Leng shook his head: "You said, he knows what will happen to him if he tells Li Xiaoran about this, Li Xiaoran will not allow him to live, let it go." ”
Gu Le: "But ......"
Shen Leng frowned slightly: "Huh? ”
Gu Le sighed and cut the rope with a knife: "Get out." ”
The horse dealer ran away, leaving a strong smell of feces and urine in the air.
"Gu Le."
Shen Leng looked at Gu Le: "Are you planning to follow me in the future?" ”
"Yes!"
Gu Le's answer was simple and straightforward: "You must follow the captain, there is no second thought." ”
"Why?"
Shen Leng looked into his eyes: "Isn't it good to oversee the army?" ”
"Why?"
Gu Le repeated, and then smiled a little bitterly: "Hope." ”
Just those two words.
"What hope?"
Shen Leng asked.
Gu Le looked at Shen Leng's eyes and replied: "I know that I have a bad background, and only by doing everything well can I have a chance to change my fate, but can the executioner in the county government really make me a master?" I can't, I can't, so even if I study how to go under the knife well, it's useless, so I went to the water division, and the water division soldiers don't ask about their background, I think I can do it. ”
"However, the captain knows why we are in the army, because we are bullied and we have no hope...... I know that I am not an ordinary person, I can be focused and ruthless that others can't do, and I can be ruthless to my enemies and myself, but where is my way out? ”
Gu Le took a deep breath: "The big guys don't disdain to use people like me, and I don't have that way to tie up with the big guys, and you, captain, ...... It's what I see, the greatest hope for myself. ”
