Chapter 64: Bright Flowers

Just when Zhao Hao was about to release Wei Wushu, he suddenly remembered that he should try to communicate with Xiao Jiu again with a transmission note.

clicked on the transmission note and found that Xiao Jiu was indeed still on the list of callable callers.

"Xiao Jiu, can you hear Mr. speak?"

"Sir, I'm Xiao Jiu......"

Xiao Jiu's immature voice came to his mind, which made Zhao Hao instantly burst into tears, and tears welled up in his eyes.

"Sir, we are in the carriage and the bad guys have taken us away......"

"What?" Zhao Hao was so shocked that he almost jumped up as if he heard a thunderbolt from the sky.

"Xiao Jiu, do you know where they went?" Zhao Hao asked anxiously.

"Sir...... I do not know...... The carriage is running well......" The voice in his head disappeared as if it were nothing.

"Little Nine ......"

"I'm sorry, the object of the sound transmission is no longer within the scope of effect, and this time the sound transmission is over." It was the sound of the mechanical system that answered him.

The opponent has transferred a hundred children, and the Salt Gang who stayed here is just a plan for the golden cicada to get out of its shell, if you really want to kill it, if you can't catch the evidence, your gang will be bitten back by the Zheng family and the Salt Gang.

Zhao Hao couldn't help but gasp.

"A hundred boys have been transferred, not here, and then with this place as the center, quickly search for a large group of chariots and horses to leave this place and run to other places!"

The call between him and Xiao Jiu was all completed in his mind, and the people around him didn't know about it, and they all showed puzzled looks.

Even Zhao Ling and Yang Fang were puzzled, and looked at Zhao Hao suspiciously.

However, Fang Qifo suddenly realized and asked, "Isn't the son discovering by transmitting sound for thousands of miles?" ”

Zhao Hao nodded at Fang Qifo, causing everyone to be more and more puzzled.

What is the sound of thousands of miles...... The signal range is only ten miles.

"Officers and soldiers are coming......" suddenly someone shouted.

Everyone looked up one after another, and sure enough, they saw a big dust in the distance, and a dark cloud slowly came, and it turned out to be hundreds of van troops rushing towards this side.

Fang Qifo's face changed dramatically in an instant, but he was signaled by Zhao Hao with a look in his eyes, and finally pressed down, and then turned around and signaled Fang Xiang and the others who followed him not to move.

The team of soldiers and horses got closer and closer, and it was gradually seen that the person leading the troops was Wang Hanzhi, the prefect of Jiangning.

Zhao Hao hurriedly led the crowd to greet him, and bowed deeply: "Lord Fuzun personally went out, Zhao Hao didn't dare to be ashamed!" ”

Wang Hanzhi laughed: "Zhao Gongzi has made great contributions to Jiangning Mansion, but now that he is in trouble, how can this mansion sit idly by?" ”

After speaking, Wang Hanzhi glanced around and asked, "I heard that someone from the Salt Gang is coming in and out of here, how are you waiting to investigate?" ”

Zhao Hao pondered for a moment and said, "I have found the village in front of me, and there are people from the Salt Gang guarding it, but it is inconvenient to enter the village to search. ”

Wang Hanzhi said: "In this case, you and the government will lead the troops into this village to search, and if you dare to stop it, you will be killed!" ”

"Whoa!" Zhao Hao replied helplessly.

Although it is purely useless, in order to dispel everyone's doubts, I can only go in and search.

Sure enough, I saw the officers and soldiers coming. Where did the Salt Gang dare to stop it, and obediently let everyone enter the search.

As Zhao Hao expected, even half of the child's figure was not found, and he returned in vain.

Finally, at Zhao Hao's suggestion, the cavalry once again divided into four routes, centered on the small village, and searched in all directions.

……

The twilight was dull, and the remnant sun was like blood.

Zhao Hao, Wang Hanzhi and Yang Fang stood side by side, their eyes full of helplessness and hesitation.

Half a day has passed, and the four roads have searched the territory within a radius of thirty miles, but they still found nothing, and thousands of van troops have also searched the suburbs of Jiangning City, and they have also found the slightest trace.

At this time, a bright moon slowly rose from a distance.

The night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the night of the full moon.

Zhao Hao was supposed to appear in the Jinyuan Poetry Club, but at this moment, he was standing on the outskirts of Jiangning City, dazed and helpless.

Suddenly, a black shadow appeared in the distance, rushing towards this side, Zhao Ling and others beside Zhao Hao changed color one after another, and all the defenders of the city also raised their shields and lined up, ready to fight.

"It's Brother Wang and cousin." Zhao Hao saw it clearly and stopped everyone.

The two horses came like the wind, flew down, first saluted Wang Hanzhi, and then ran towards Zhao Hao.

"Brother Xian, you want to do great things again, but you haven't called me to wait, it's not righteous enough." Wang Jue and Xie Yu had reproachful looks on their faces.

Zhao Hao's face was full of wry smile and helplessness: "The foolish brother is at a loss at the moment......"

As soon as the words fell, Yang Fang, who was beside him, turned around suddenly, and his body was already trembling slightly.

Thief God, are you joking with Lao Tzu, there are so many cute boys, are you willing to let them boil medicine?

Since the crossing, Zhao Hao has never been as tormented and helpless as he is at this moment, and he can't help but wail in his heart.

Wang Hanzhi looked at the sky and sighed slightly: "It's not early, why don't you go to the north gate to meet first, and then make a decision......

All the people and horses who were exploring the way have returned, and hundreds of people are thrown in this wilderness, which is indeed not a way, Zhao Hao had to agree.

The sound of horses' hooves, the wheels, and the chaotic footsteps, in the night, converged into a symphony, slowly heading towards the north gate of Jiangning City.

Inside the carriage, Zhao Hao's eyes were distracted, and he kept searching with the transmission note, but his right hand was tightly grasping the jade hand of the person next to him.

Cold, effeminate......

"Life and death have fate, wealth is in the sky, Xiao Jiuji people have their own natural appearance, sister doesn't need to panic...... Zhao Hao sighed slightly.

This sentence, even he himself can't believe it.

"Hmmm......"

The weak response hit Zhao Hao's heart like a whip.

Grief is dead, the person next to him is completely desperate and heartbroken.

Suddenly, he became furious, lifted the curtain, and shouted, "Stop!" ”

The handlebar hurriedly stopped the carriage and horses, and everyone in front of the carriage looked back at Zhao Hao in confusion.

Because the Xiang army was basically a foot soldier, the war horses surrounding Wang Hanzhi were dragged behind, and the riders in front of the car were only the generals and slaves of the Zhao Mansion, the Xie Mansion and the Wangfu, as well as the men and horses of Fang Qifo.

Zhao Hao turned his head and took a deep breath, with a ruthless look on his face, and said in a low voice: "Zheng An's old ghost, he has lost his conscience, refining medicine with hundreds of boys, people and gods are angry, heaven and earth are punished together, I want to lead the people to kill into the Zheng Mansion." Take that old ghost hostage and make him hand over the boys, I wonder if you dare to go with me? ”

Except for Fang Qifo and his party, everyone was shocked and in an uproar.

Rushing to kill Zheng Mansion, this is a big crime to kill the head, this Zhao Gongzi is really whimsical and desperate.

Even Yang Fang behind him was shocked, and shouted in a coquettish voice: "No! ”

"Lord Fuzun can be in front?"

Just when everyone was in a mess, suddenly a black shadow rushed in front of them and asked loudly.

"Lord Fuzun is behind, who are you?" Someone asked.

The man no longer answered, but urged the horse under his crotch, increased the speed of the horse to the extreme, and galloped towards this direction.

At this time, Wang Hanzhi also heard the movement in front of him, and without waiting for anyone to report it, he had already urged the war horse under his crotch, came out of the crowd, and chased after him.

The man galloped all the way to the horse, and everyone got out of the way, only to see that the man saw Wang Hanzhi, hurriedly turned over and fell off the horse, and hurriedly said: "Lord Qiqi Mansion, Xiaodao was ordered by the master to come to report that the salt gang thieves had taken away the hiding place of a hundred boys. ”

As soon as the words fell, everyone instantly fell silent.

Zhao Hao looked through the moonlight and saw that the man was wearing a Taoist robe, and couldn't help asking, "Who is the Lingshi?" ”

"The family teacher's road name Aoki is the master of the White Cloud Temple."

"What?"

Zhao Hao was messy.

The man continued: "That Zheng An was dead and stubborn, pestering the family teacher to ask for the elixir of healing, and the family teacher was helpless, so he casually said that the cerebral marrow of a hundred children must be used as a medicine to cure the disease and prolong life and rejuvenate the youth. Originally, it was expected that it would be even more difficult to get together 100 children under the age of five, and there was no reason to succeed, but Zheng An was already mad and really got together 100 children under the age of five. In desperation, the tutor had to ask us to secretly take advantage of the caretaker thieves to steal a boy and break the number of 100 people...... The tutor couldn't bear the death of the innocent boy, so he had to ask Xiaodao to come and report the news. ”

The crowd was in disarray again.

The Aoki Taoist was swaggering and deceiving, but he wanted to find the Zheng family to mix up some benefits, but he didn't want the Zheng family to not only believe it, but also really risked the world's condemnation and gathered a hundred children to refine medicine. Others don't know whether it's true or not, but Aoki Daochang knows, I'm afraid that what he is worried about is not the death of a hundred children, but the fear of being exposed after refining medicine, so he simply asked his disciple to steal a boy two days before the Mid-Autumn Festival. Who knew that the Zheng family had reached the point of madness and hysteria, and sent someone to snatch Xiao Jiu to make up the number, and Aoki Daochang had no choice but to send someone to report to the official.

Zhao Hao, Wang Hanzhi, Xie Yu, Wang Jue and others figured it out after pondering for a while.

Zhao Hao grabbed the man's collar and asked with a murderous face, "Where are the hundred boys now?" ”

"It's in the ghost park west of the city." The man said tremblingly.

Zhao Hao didn't care about greeting Wang Hanzhi, and immediately ordered: "Quickly kill the ghost park in the west of the city, there must be no mistake!" ”

PS: The use of the cerebral marrow as medicine, there was really such a thing in ancient times.

1. Gao Ce, a eunuch in the Ming Dynasty, listened to the words of the warlock to eat the brains of a thousand boys to restore sexual ability, so Gao Ce asked his subordinates to disguise themselves as merchants and go around to buy poor children, and told everyone that the tax supervisor's father-in-law wanted to help the poor children, although he felt illogical, but for the sake of livelihood, many people still sold their children to Gao Ce. But not long after, the paper couldn't hold the fire, and the fact that Gao Ce "smashed his head and ate his brain" still leaked out, seeing that the people at that time didn't dare to sell their children no matter how poor they were, Gao Ce began to send people to steal children everywhere. According to historical records, Gao Yu lived in "the pool of the tax office, with white bones and teeth".

2. Still in the Ming Dynasty, some powerful eunuchs in the imperial court tried to restore sexual ability by eating the brain marrow of young men. The notorious eunuchs Lao Yu and Wei Zhongxian have all experienced such tragic and evil deeds.
