136. Never leave behind
When Li Songran heard the news, when he rushed from Xiaoye Village to Jingzhou City, the west of the city was already in flames, and many people shouted 'Go to the water'. The government sent people to evacuate the people and control the fire, and the crowd was mixed with people from Qifengzhuang and Tiedaotang, some of whom were fighting the fire and some of whom were saving people.
Li Songran looked at this panicked scene, and couldn't understand how such a thing could suddenly happen? He looked around for Nangong Jin, Fushun, and Qifengzhuang, but he didn't expect that even the scene was missing.
Things in Xiaoye Village have taken a turn for the better.
Last night, they found two strange skeletons, seemingly killed at the same time as they scuffled together. Although it was burned and rotted, the miracle was that the person who was pressed underneath had a large piece of clothing that could have been crushed and preserved. It can be clearly seen that it is the costume of Seifudo. Does this mean that there were indeed people in Chengfeng Hall who participated in the massacre of Xiaoye Village at that time!
In the afternoon, I received news from Nangong Jin, saying that Yang Wentian accused Hong Jipeng of killing his father. first deliberately let Hong Lai eat peanuts by mistake, and when he was sick, he suffocated his father. With this reason, Nangong Jin asked to open the coffin as soon as possible to examine Hong Lai's ashes.
When Li Songran was about to take Du Ling and a few Iron Dao Hall members to the Honglai cemetery, he received the news of the two halls of Chengfeng and Leshui. Li Songran asked Du Ling to continue, and he rushed back to Jingzhou, but he didn't expect such a big scene in the west of the city.
It was getting late and late, and Li Songran helped Cheng Zhaofeng clean up the scene. As soon as he turned around, in the shadows of the wall not far away, there seemed to be the figure of Nangong Jin, followed by a woman he had never seen before.
"Ah Jin." Li Songran hurriedly ran over.
Nangong Jin looked back at the woman, and before Li Songran arrived, she retreated and disappeared into the darkness.
"How so? What happened? Li Songran was a little flustered.
"Yang Wentian told the people of Leshui Hall that Chengfeng Hall was laid out in Zhuangzi outside the city, saying that I implied that he planned to kill the entire Leshui Hall, so it was necessary to strike first." Nangong Jin said very calmly.
"Zhuangzi outside the city?"
"Yes. I originally wanted Hong Jipeng to move out of Jingzhou City and not to harm the people of Jingzhou, so I asked Qin Mancang for a very remote farm. Unexpectedly, Yang Wentian would actually ....... Nangong Jin smiled bitterly.
"What about Yang Wentian?"
"Didn't find it." Nangong Jin shook his head and handed a letter to Li Songran as he spoke.
Li Songran took it and froze, "This is ...... Escort papers? You are limited to confess your sins in the capital within 10 days! ”
Nangong Jin continued to smile bitterly, "Master Pan gave it." I promise to go, but he's still going to send a servant...... Send under escort. I tried to cooperate, and he promised not to do it too ugly. ”
"This, what happened here, how could it be? Is it Xiaoye Village? Li Songran said urgently.
Nangong Jin shook her head, "No." It has been verified that Yang Wentian secretly cast ordnance in the suburbs of Beijing, and it is said that he also collaborated with the enemy. As the head of the family, even if you don't know it, you can't escape the charge of poor control. ”
Li Songran was anxious, "How can this be?" Have you notified the family? ”
"Don't worry," Nangong Jin smiled a little slyly, "Quietly tell you, if no one reports Yang Wentian's matter to the official, no one will investigate." ”
"What do you mean?" Li Songran was even more anxious.
Nangong Jin patted him on the shoulder with a smile and pointed at himself again, "It's nothing." ”
"You?" Li Songran looked at him suspiciously, "You sue?" ”
Nangong Jin nodded, seeing Li Songran's anxious appearance, he said with a smile: "I asked a friend in the capital to inquire roughly, the Yang family's blacksmith shop is not ordinary. It's no secret that they're running around for office, it's just that we don't know. Alas, there should also be a hall in Beijing in the future. ”
Li Songran saw Nangong Jin's indifferent face, and his heart was even more anxious, and he looked back at the sky-high fire that had not been completely extinguished, and he didn't know what to say.
"Okay, you've been tired for so long, go to Fushun and have a good rest." Nangong Jin suggested.
Li Songran frowned and looked at Nangong Jin, "You don't care about it here?!" ”
Nangong Jin sighed, "It's all like this, what can I do?" In short, I confess all the sins that the government should confess here. You see that they are quite organized in fighting fires and saving people, and we can't do anything here, take care of ourselves and don't make trouble. ”
Seeing Nangong Jin persuading him and preparing to leave, he always felt that something was wrong, but he felt that what Nangong Jin said was not wrong, so he hesitated and followed a few steps.
"Ahead, but the second young master?" Not far away, a woman staggered, unkempt and pregnant.
Nangong Jin turned to look at her, slightly hesitating.
The woman cried, "Second young master, I have seen you, I am the concubine of my step-friend." As he spoke, he took a few steps forward, suddenly knelt down and cried, "Second Young Master, those people, those people killed Jipeng!" The second young master is the master of Chengfeng Hall for us! ”
Nangong Jin stepped forward, squatted down and asked her, "Hall Master Hong is dead?" Did you see it with your own eyes? ”
The woman grabbed Nangong Jin and nodded desperately, "Yes, yes, I saw it with my own eyes!" Yes, it's Qin ....... ”
"You get up first." Nangong Jin held her, "It's not good for the child to have a body." This is, Lord Hong's? ”
The woman cried and nodded, "Yes, yes...... Jipeng has always had no flesh and bones, and I, my belly is his only bloodline. I, when I saw people coming in, I hid and hid, and I hid, and they ....... ”
"I see, come, you get up first." Nangong Jin seemed to be deliberately not letting her continue. Holding the woman, he turned his head to Li Songran and said, "Songran, you help find any surviving members of Chengfeng Hall, and I'll take her to find a doctor and settle down." ”
Li Songran nodded, turned around and walked towards the fire.
Nangong Jin helped the woman and asked as she walked, "Who did you see who killed Hall Master Hong?" ”
The woman cried and nodded, and said fiercely: "Qin Yongsen, I will remember him for the rest of my life!" He killed as soon as he entered the door, and he was not a ...... who came to save us at all. ”
"Who else is with you?"
"Qin Yongsen killed everyone, I, I have been hiding and no one has seen it. Second young master, what I said is true, the Hong family and the Hong family only have this bit of blood in my belly. Second young master, you have to make decisions for us. The woman began to cry again.
Nangong Jin nodded, "Okay." After a few words, I have turned to a deserted ruin, and I can faintly see the fire in the sky. He let go of the woman and whispered, "You go." I promised Qin Mancang not to let the Hong family stay, I'm sorry. ”
The woman was stunned, as if she didn't understand what Nangong Jin meant, and stood in place.
Nangong Jin walked away and picked up a long iron rod a few steps away, and suddenly the long stick came out of his hand and penetrated the woman's abdomen. The woman's face was full of horror and she was about to scream, but she found that her throat could not make a sound at all. Nangong Jin had already flashed behind her at an extremely fast speed, and a dagger slit her throat, and before her blood could spurt out, she had quickly retreated. Picked up a rag from the ground and wiped a trace of blood from the dagger. At this time, the woman fell down covered in blood, and her face still maintained the panic of that moment.
"Ah Jin!" Li Songran was outside the corner, looking at everything not far away in disbelief.
Nangong Jin looked up and saw him, flattened his mouth and sighed.
Li Songran quickly stepped forward, checked the woman, and saw that she was exhausted, so he raised his head sharply and asked, "Why?" ”
"Well, I know I shouldn't do it myself." Nangong Jin shook her head in annoyance, as if talking to herself.
"Why?!" Li Songran stood up and stared at Nangong Jin and whispered.
"Because, it's better to end here." Nangong Jin didn't want to explain.
"What do you mean?!" Li Songran pointed to the corpse on the ground and asked, "Why did you kill her?!" ”
Nangong Jin also looked at Li Songran, and shook his head for a while, "I don't have anything to explain." If you're going to avenge her, I'm not going to fight back. After speaking, he bypassed Li Songran and left.
