Chapter Ninety-Seven: Corpse
The snake catcher raised the steel fork, the big man was not dead for a while, his body was still struggling in the air, the snake catcher had a hideous face, and a low laugh came out of his throat, as if it was a great pleasure to watch others die. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Yang Ning's back was cold, he thought that this was just an ordinary snake catcher, but now it seems that this snake catcher is really not good at stubble, he just came out of the weeds, although his body is thick, but his movements are very agile, and the speed of the shot is extremely fast, one move will pierce the throat of the big man, this is definitely not an ordinary snake catcher can have.
Yang Ning looked at his dress, and found that the snake catcher had a turban rolled up on his head, and suddenly thought of the prince of Shu he had met in the capital, and this person had a turban around his head and was somewhat similar to those attendants under the prince of Shu.
He knew that this was a common attire in the Bashu region, but this place was Jingnan, not Shu, but he didn't know why this person appeared in this gorge mountain.
The big man struggled a few times, his body slowly weakened, and his limbs finally hung down softly, and the snake catcher shook it lightly, threw the big man's corpse on the ground, and then inserted the steel fork beside him, and reached out to take something from his arms, in the dimness, Yang Ning couldn't see clearly, only to see the snake catcher pouring powder into the corpse, and he was puzzled, secretly thinking that the big man was dead, and what kind of mystery was this snake catcher doing.
The snake catcher poured some powder over the carcass, then took it into his bosom, went over again, and cut the remaining serpent into pieces and threw it into a leather bag.
Yang Ning smelled a fishy smell coming to his nose, and he was wondering, but he found that the corpse suddenly emitted a burst of white smoke, and the smoke was quite light, but Yang Ning still saw it clearly.
The snake catcher obviously often catches snakes, and the action of cutting snakes is very skillful, cutting off the whole big snake in a moment, and then he gets up, holds a steel fork in one hand, and picks up the leather bag in the other, and does not even look at the corpse, and turns away.
Yang Ning was sure that the snake catcher was far away, so he approached the past, only glanced at it, and almost vomited, only to see that the corpse of the big man was only a small half of the body at the moment, the skin and flesh were festering, the bones were white, and the upper body even the belt bones had disappeared, leaving only a pool of blood on the ground, and the remaining half of the body was still rapidly decaying and festering, and the fishy smell was emanating from the corpse.
Yang Ning covered his nose, his back was cold, although this big man was not a good bird, but the snake catcher easily killed it, and melted his corpse, ruthless, it was really vicious, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, who would have thought that a person would completely disappear from this world in this short period of time.
Suddenly, a low birdsong sounded, coming from the air, Yang Ning looked up, and in the night, he saw a big bird like a goshawk flying overhead, but the sound was like a beast.
Yang Ning knew that there was still that vicious snake catcher in this mountain, and he was even more careful in his heart, secretly thinking that the snake catcher had just laid an ambush, and then attacked suddenly without asking questions, so he had to be more careful, not to be suddenly attacked by the snake catcher.
He saw the direction that the snake catcher had just left, and although he was very puzzled about the origin of the man, he was already being chased by someone now, and there was no need to make more trouble with the past and touch the other direction.
The old mansion of the Qi family was controlled by a group of people, and for several years, the Hou Mansion in the capital did not know anything about this matter, which was naturally a shocking thing.
What surprised Yang Ning even more was that after these people used Qi Cheng to control the old mansion, they still sent taxes to Beijing for three years, and it was precisely for this reason that the Hou Mansion never had any suspicions, but what was the purpose of these people, they stayed here for three years, if there was really any conspiracy, it would not be a trivial matter.
The leader of this group of people seemed to be Zhao Yuan, the accountant who was called the "judge", but Yang Ning felt that he was only afraid that there would be someone else who controlled the situation later.
The Marquis of Jinyi is a meritorious family of the empire, with a noble status, even those high-ranking officials and important ministers in the court, and they may not dare to take easy action against the Marquis of Jinyi, Zhao Yuan's gang dared to manipulate the old mansion, and even set a trap to frame the prince of Jinyi, of course, this is not something that ordinary people dare to do.
The warehouse set a trap and used the smoke and rain begonias to force Gu Qinghan to do things with himself, which was despicable, but this was by no means the beginning.
Zhao Yuan also made it clear that if he wanted to control himself with this matter, of course, there would be a bigger conspiracy later.
If he can get out, of course he will eradicate these people, but Yang Ning also knows that these people have been operating here for several years, and they must have power, if they rely on their own bravery, not only will they not be able to eradicate these people, but they will also suffer from them, so before they start, they must transfer people, and the best way is naturally to mobilize troops and horses from Jiangling Taishou and then besiege and kill.
As the prince of Jinyi, it should not be difficult to mobilize troops and horses in Gangneung Taishou.
Just as he was thinking about where to go after getting out, he heard a strong wind suddenly rise on his side, and a sharp blade had already slashed at him from the side.
Yang Ning reacted very quickly, did not dodge, but bent down slightly, leaned over violently in the direction of the strong wind, and hit a person, he was extremely fast, that person obviously did not expect Yang Ning to come out like this, Yang Ning used all his strength for this collision, the person screamed "ouch", but this person was strong, Yang Ning's body was thin, and under the collision, although the person took two steps back, he did not fall.
Of course, Yang Ning would not give him a second chance to make a knife, at this time, mercy to the enemy is a crime against himself, the arm was stretched out, and the cold blade had already sunk into the other party's heart.
He knew the vital point of the human body well, although he was in a hurry, but he easily judged the vital point of the other party, the cold blade easily pierced the person's heart, and then immediately pulled it out, flashed to the side, the person's body shook, and fell to the ground, Yang Ning looked at the person who was dressed, and knew that it was Zhao Yuan and his gang.
Suddenly, I heard a sneer, "Shizi really has good means, but you have no way out." It was Zhao Yuan's voice, Yang Ning looked up, and saw that a few steps in front of him, a figure was standing there, holding something in his hand, and when he looked closely, it was an arrow crossbow, facing him.
"The prince was born in a martial arts sect, so of course he knows what it is." Zhao Yuan seemed to smile, "As long as you deduct it lightly, the little life of the prince will be reimbursed here." ”
Yang Ning's eyes were cold, he heard a voice behind him, and when he looked back, he saw two people, one on the left and one on the right, holding big knives, looking at him coldly.
"You're Qi Ning?" One person was taken aback when he saw Yang Ning's face, and then said with a cruel smile: "It turns out that you are the son of Jinyi, I didn't expect us to meet so soon, you were so arrogant in Luwang Village before, even Manager Luo was pierced by you and broke his hamstrings, so that he couldn't get up again, but I didn't expect it to fall into our hands, right?" ”
When Yang Ning heard this, he knew that this person must be one of the entourages who followed Manager Luo to Luwang Village.
Zhao Yuan let out an "oh", looked Yang Ning up and down a few times, and said with a smile: "It turns out that you were the one who did it in Luwang Village?" It's better to be famous than to meet, I just thought that the son of Jinyi was really an incompetent and mediocre talent, and now it seems that the son of the world is deeply hidden. "Take two steps forward," you're much smarter than I expected..... the short knife in your hand should be a wall-breaking blade, right?" Being able to break through the wall in a short period of time is a real skill. ”
"Zhao Yuan......, oh, no, I should call you a judge." Yang Ning stared at Zhao Yuan's eyes, but he also prevented the two people behind him from sneaking up, "What do you want to set up all kinds of traps?" ”
Zhao Yuan snorted at the cold blade in Yang Ning's hand, and said, "The prince should put down the knife first." ”
"The three of you are here, and you have arrows and crossbows in hand, are you still afraid of me?" Yang Ning sneered: "Even the old mansion of the Marquis of Jinyi dared to occupy it, I thought you were very bold." ”
Zhao Yuan smiled and said: "You are too cunning in brocade, I have always been careful in doing things, and I will never cause trouble for myself, the knife is in your hand, I still don't feel at ease." The arrow and crossbow in his hand stepped forward, "The prince is still obedient, otherwise I will be in a hurry, and if I am not careful, this crossbow arrow will be shot." ”
Yang Ning sneered and threw the cold blade at his feet, Zhao Yuan sighed: "The prince doesn't have to work so hard, if you honestly enjoy the joy of fish and water with Gu Qinghan in the warehouse, you may be able to live, but now I can't guarantee it." ”
"Oh?" Yang Ning said with a smile: "You don't have the handle of this son in your hands, and you can't blackmail this son, so you want to kill this son here?" ”
Zhao Yuan said: "The prince seems to be very shrewd, and he guessed the problem at once. ”
"I'm just very strange, since you have a misty incense, why do you bother to trick this son into the Hongsha River granary?" Yang Ning asked, "Wouldn't it be convenient for you to control the old mansion and set a trap in the old mansion?" ”
Zhao Yuan said with a smile: "I said that I should be foolproof when I do things." It is not impossible to let you and Gu Qinghan lie in the same bed in the old mansion, but then you will not be able to find an excuse for many people to see you together, and if no outsiders see it, it will be difficult to achieve the effect of this matter. Besides, the few people you brought under your hands are not good at stubble, and this matter must be so that people can't see flaws. ”
"Sure enough, it's a painstaking design." Yang Ning said: "Those people in the old mansion know that I am going out to find the third lady, how do you seal everyone's mouth?" ”
"The prince of the world looks down on us too much, they can't see a flaw in the past few years, but they are afraid of Qi Cheng, to be honest, Qi Cheng's words in the old mansion are more useful than you, the prince." Zhao Yuan said calmly: "Actually, there is no need to talk about the previous matter, the prince should think about how to save his life now." ”
Yang Ning laughed and said, "The arrow is in your hands, I am now barehanded, if I want to live, of course I can only follow your requirements." ”
"Those who know the times are handsome." Zhao Yuan also smiled, "The prince has such an awareness, it seems that we can discuss it well." Suddenly, he raised an arm and threw something at Yang Ning, Yang Ning took it, but it was a small porcelain bottle, Zhao Yuan had already said: "There are two pills in it, as long as the prince swallows it, he can live." ”
