Chapter Seventy-Nine: Dying Struggle

Looking at the three big living people who followed him into three corpses lying on the ground in an instant, Lao Zhao seemed to be a little moved, only to hear him sigh to himself, and said with a sad expression: "Alas, I hurt these people...... I shouldn't have brought them to dig for fragrant wood, I was incompetent, so I took them to the mountains for four or five days, but they didn't find anything, and when they saw that someone in the man's house had dug up fragrant wood, they became greedy. They all blame me for not watching them......"

Lao Zhao chattered a lot in this Luoli, but Mei Yuning still maintained a confrontational posture with the silent young man, but the young man did not make any further movements, and he did not pay attention to Lao Zhao's "Xianglin sister-in-law"-style chatter.

At the same time, Ji Yan didn't seem to hear Lao Zhao's affectionate confession at all, he still sat on the ground with his back against the big tree, found Mei Yuning's salute, and focused on rummaging through the bag.

After a while, he found the herbs that Chen Laohan had given them and took them out of the package.

Ji Yan held those herbs in his hand, and couldn't help but think of Chen Laohan who stuffed these things into the hands of the three of them with a smile this morning, it was only less than a day, but it was already like a world away, it was really fateful.

He looked at the herb for a while, sighed, took the two stones at hand and grinded them, and then began to bury his head in the wound on his leg.

Ji Yan's legs and feet were bleeding a lot, but they were not serious, his legs and feet were indeed scratched, but they were just shallow wounds, all of this was within the plan, and it was tailor-made to match the later scenes.

The large amount of "blood" on his leg actually came from a dragon fruit picked on the road, anyway, the night was dark and the wind was high, and it was not so clear, Ji Yan estimated at the time, as long as it was painted in a large piece of red.

The result also confirmed Ji Yan's expectations, and this group of people had no doubts about their leg injuries from beginning to end.

Rinsing with cold water and smearing herbs, Ji Yan finally finished his work, and he set his sights on Lao Zhao, the leader of the five Ming Dynasty incense digging teams.

At this moment, Lao Zhao seemed to realize that his words just now did not have any effect, but he still did not give up, and when he saw Ji Yan looking at him, hope was ignited in his heart.

The knife was on his neck, Lao Zhao continued to talk non-stop, and his expression was quite rich, only to hear him cry: "I really regret it, I regret it...... I regret that I shouldn't have come to this Champa country to dig fragrant wood, and I regret that I shouldn't have brought these people here. They wanted to kill people and steal goods, but I didn't let them, but they said they couldn't go back empty-handed, and they either let them kill people and steal goods, or kill me together......"

Saying this, Lao Zhao pointed his finger at the three people lying on the ground.

He then said with a handful of snot and tears: "At that time, I was afraid, I patronized to protect my own life, I didn't stop them, I was wrong, now this, I really did my own thing......"

Later, it seems that there is still some incoherent speech, but the meaning is probably clear, anyway, they kill people, and they have nothing to do with themselves, they just didn't lead a good team, and they didn't participate in the killing at all.

He plucked himself cleanly, and put all the blame on the dead man, and the three corpses would not stand up and contradict him anyway.

When Ji Yan heard this, he was really a little embarrassed by his attitude, sneered, and interrupted Lao Zhao: "Hehe, you said you regretted it?" If you say that you regret killing people, I believe you, but if you say that you did not participate in the killing, hum, the four people in the courtyard were basically killed at the same time, one of them outside the house tried to draw a knife to fight back, and was killed by another person and rushed over to slash from the back, all of which was basically done at the same time, there were five of you in total, and you told me that you didn't kill people? Could it be that Chen Sihan killed himself by himself? ”

Ji Yan stood up with difficulty, his legs and feet were a little numb, I don't know if the herbs took effect just now, he dragged the inflexible right leg and approached Lao Zhao, and then said: "I see that you don't regret killing people, nor do you regret coming to occupy the city to dig fragrant wood, maybe you are indeed not the one who proposed killing people and stealing goods, but you still participated in the end, not to mention, you didn't kill someone, but also raped and killed Chen Laohan's daughter, do you know that according to the provisions of the "Da Ming Law", this crime alone can make you a capital crime?" ”

These words made Lao Zhao like a defeated rooster, hanging his head, and he didn't know what to say.

Ji Yan continued: "Now, you have become a fish on the knife, I don't think you regret committing the crime at that time, what you regret is that someone came to take revenge after committing the crime, and you also regret that you took the initiative but failed to kill us, but were killed by us, right?" ”

The old Zhao sighed, but he still didn't give up, and begged: "Brother, for the sake of my kindness to take you in, just spare my dog's life?" They didn't agree to take you in, and I agreed, and I scolded them, and you heard you. ”

Ji Yan was already disgusted with this old Zhao, he shook his head, frowned, looked at Lao Zhao with contempt and said: "You agree, but I heard the sound of gold coins and copper coins in my bag when I walked, at first someone disagreed, someone whispered that he heard the sound of silver money on my body, and my package seemed to be heavy and seemed to have a lot of money, and then you pretended to be righteous and awe-inspiring and let me approach, I hung the hat on my chest backwards, I can hear you whispering, if I guessed correctly, you should have prepared a weapon next to you, If these two assailants miss, you will immediately copy the guy. ”

After listening to Ji Yan's words, Sun Dayong kicked the bag next to Lao Zhao with his foot, and sure enough, there was a metal collision, and the sound of clanging bells was obviously a bunch of weapons.

Lao Zhao's eyes were lowered, and he smiled bitterly: "Those of us who dig incense are all hard-working people......"

Ji Yan said the last word to him: "Hard work is not a reason to kill people and sell goods, who in this world is not living with hard work?" Is it possible to cd and slash each other and rob other people's? In the end, it can be regarded as letting you understand that the five of you are from the Ming Dynasty, and you also need to follow my "Da Ming Law", the murderer is beheaded, and the rapist is hanged, so you deserve it. I can also tell you that the three of us are not digging ebony, we are Daming brocade guards. ”

After speaking, Ji Yan waved his hand at Sun Dayong.

At this time, this old Zhao seemed to suddenly remember something, he regarded this matter as the last straw, he pointed to the young man who had been silent in a panic and said: "I have a military ......"

It's a pity that Lao Zhao said it too late, before he finished speaking, his throat had been cut by Sun Dayong, blood gushed out, and he soon fell to the ground and died.
