Chapter 119: Floating Corpses
"There are floating corpses!"
The night's watchman looked panicked and informed Kim Tae-sung that he found the body suspended in the river. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Rich in experience, the boatman was careful not to alarm the others, but he could not stop the craftsman who went to the side of the boat to relieve his hands.
"There are dead people!"
As soon as he was comfortable, the craftsman realized that the sound was wrong, and in the faint light of the sky, he checked where he was urinating.
As soon as he lowered his head, a swollen body floated to the side of the boat.
Knowing that he was urinating on the back of the corpse, his lower body shrank suddenly, his feet were weak, and he couldn't stand and sat on the ground screaming.
It had been a day since the screams threw all the people out of the boat and escaped from Bianjing, but the shadow of the killing on the dock still hung over the hearts of most people.
The word death was like a mantra, and as soon as it was shouted, everyone seemed to have been struck by lightning, and they were horrified that the golden soldiers were chasing after them, so they left their wives and children in the cabin and went outside alone to see what was going on.
Seeing that he couldn't hide it, Jian Taicheng rushed over and asked the boatman to block the irrelevant ones five steps away, clear the space, and start salvaging the body.
When a long-haired female corpse was lying on the plank, Tang Yin appeared neatly dressed.
This ship was hired by Tang Yin, and the price of the ship was ten times higher than usual, so the boatman was willing to take a big risk to Bianjing.
It was the uncle who took the money out, except for Jian Taicheng, Tang Yin was on the boat, and Jian Taicheng respected Tang Yin like a superior, Tang Yin wanted to go forward to see the situation, and the boatman naturally would not stop it, and took the initiative to say hello and make way.
The two boatmen worked together to turn the female corpse over, revealing a face with bulging eyes and purple skin, not long after the person died, her facial features were still clear, and it could be seen that she was a beautiful woman.
Dressed in dishevels, a large piece of silk on his shoulders was torn, apparently having pulled with someone before falling into the water.
"Lin Xiuyuan, how could it be, she should be in the palace?"
Among the people watching from the probe, someone recognized the identity of the female corpse, this person was none other than Master Li, who was talking to Tang Yin at night, she hid her face under the black veil as usual, and Jiang Min'er accompanied her.
Jiang Min'er didn't care much about it originally, but when she heard such sensitive words as palace and Xiuyuan, she became energetic and glanced at the female corpse a few more times, trying to see a clue.
Tang Yin also heard that he was tired, after all, a woman's name could not be easily shown to outsiders, and Master Li would not make such a low-level mistake.
looked back at Master Li and asked with her eyes, is Lin Xiuyuan in her mouth an official position, or a maiden name?
Master Li nodded at Tang Yin invisibly, confirming his guess, and then turned to leave.
The speed was too fast, and the two deliberately hid it, Jiang Min'er didn't see the interaction between them, thinking that Master Li was unwilling to contact a foreign man in order to cover up his gaffe, so he left in a hurry.
Earlier, Tang Yin and Master Li reached a tacit understanding that unless necessary, try not to say things in front of Jiang Min'er.
Both of them admit that Jiang Min'er is wise and intelligent, but her heart is all hung in the eyes of power, fame and fortune are more important than friendship, everything is centered on King Kang, and she is the woman of the emperor, she is to blame at every turn, in order to avoid trouble, she will appear to be intimate, and she can avoid it.
is also from a Qinglou, all of them are talented women, and the man who serves the pillow is an extremely noble royal person, focusing on the level of the two to determine the scope of their vision.
Jiang Min'er deduced from Tang Yin's confession to Shenzong the main reason for Chen Dong's death; Master Li sorted out from Xiao Heizi's few words that Guo Jing's death was manipulated by Tang Yin.
Jiang Ning's No. 1 Oiran wanted to use this half-threat and half-wooing to make Tang Yin a help, and the No. 1 Oiran in the world just jokingly pointed out the strange places, and used a witty way to skillfully dispel the murderous intentions he evoked, leaving Tang Yin with a good impression of wisdom and cleverness, not like Jiang Min'er who was full of scheming and annoying.
Replaced by Jiang Min'er, Tang Yin would really consider pushing her down the river, as long as it is beneficial, it can enhance King Kang's attention, and she can take it to invite favor in anything, even if Tang Yin has just helped her.
Thinking deeply, according to Master Li's intelligence, he is not afraid of being wiped out, and he told Tang Yin's identity in front of Tang Yin that he did not have a tendency to self-destruct, and he wanted to borrow Tang Yin's hand but was alive.
In the mood for love, the fatigue between her eyebrows and eyes seems to have accumulated over the years of vicissitudes, and she wants to die to remove all kinds of burdens imposed on her by the world.
The two of them have no relatives, and the other have no old days, Master Li's turbulent life, as long as it doesn't affect Tang Yin, it has nothing to do with him, and he didn't start, simply because Master Li is dissatisfied with Shenzong's handling of things, and he hates Guo Jing even more, and there is little chance of biting him back, besides, there is no impermeable wall in the world, can killing Master Li ensure that the secret is not leaked?
Xiao Heizi was rescued with the golden order given by Shenzong, and the golden order was in Tang Yin's hands, and he couldn't get rid of it if he wanted to, and no one else reported it.
Tang Yin gambled on the Bianjing chaos, the royal family suffered and had no time to pay attention to such trivial matters, even if the Nanling Dynasty was not established as recorded in history in the end, Tang Yin also had the confidence to establish his own small force before the situation stabilized, as long as the Wu family was the emperor, the example of Liang Shanbo could be used as a reference again, and the officers and soldiers would be beaten back a few times, and the court would change to Fu, a useless and weak dynasty, not to bully them, to bully whom.
Jin Ren just saw through that Da Ling was a soft egg, and he couldn't help knocking it, so he changed from cannibalization to whale swallowing.
Therefore, the tragedy that Master Li expected to appear, the expected relief, did not happen, Tang Yin only said, "Next time, definitely." So he went around to another place and went back to the cabin one step earlier.
"This woman is a noble concubine in the palace, and she annoyed the emperor and fell out of favor half a year ago, but she didn't expect to escape from the palace."
Jiang Min'er found out the woman's identity from Master Li's mouth, and sent a personal maid to report to Tang Yin, thinking that she could sell some favors, but Tang Yin knew that this was just Master Li borrowing Jiang Min'er's mouth to give himself a voice.
It was still the nobles who were left out in the cold, Tang Yin immediately ordered Jian Taicheng to restrain himself, and in less than an hour after the commotion subsided, there were floating corpses floating on the river, this time there were more than a dozen, there were men and women, there were wounds cut by swords on their bodies, and they died miserably.
Obviously, the people on the ship couldn't stay any longer, and there were cries in the cabin, for fear that they would be next.
Jian Taicheng used the flag to inform the fleet to raise its vigilance, and all the swords and weapons that were usually prepared but not used were used, and he no longer kept his hands, and even took out the hidden bows and arrows.
"What the hell are the Taihu Gang doing, don't you know the consequences of killing people?"
Tang Yin said dissatisfiedly.
"It's not the first day to do business without money, the goods that Hong Tingfu took are from the palace, it's hard to ensure that a few people are not smuggled on the ship, and they will only kill people when they are full, my senior brother will not be stupid enough to make such a mistake, there must be a reason."
With the manpower in Tang Yin's hands at this time, it was difficult to rob Hong Tingfu's goods, so Jian Taicheng would invite Hou Tong and give a piece of the pie to the Taihu Gang.
When Lin Xiuyuan was picked up, Tang Yin knew that Hou Tong pretended to be a river bandit to rob the boat according to the appointment, and Jian Taicheng also secretly scolded Hou Tong for being lustful, and even the emperor's woman dared to move, and he was given a big eye by Tang Yin.
Black eats black, Tang Yin will not have the slightest guilt, if he wants a woman, just go to the Qinglou to find it, Tang Yin never interferes, bullying women from good families is a taboo in Jingwumen, even if it is not them, Jian Taicheng, who is in charge of contact, is still responsible for dereliction of duty, he has played a package ticket, saying that his senior brother knows how to measure and will not add to the chaos.
"It's come to this, it's superfluous to say anything, I have to settle the account and wait for later, the only thing I'm worried about is Xiao Qi."
Broken Tooth Seven boarded Hong Tingfu's fleet with a carrier pigeon, and now the corpse is floating on the water, but there is no carrier pigeon flying to warn, which shows how sudden the incident was.
Hou Tong saw the wealth, and it didn't matter if he wanted to monopolize this wealth, the money was not owned by him in the first place.
asked for money and died, changed his people, violated Tang Yin's bottom line, and Hou Tong had to pay the price.
As the main messenger of everything, Tang Yin couldn't help but blame himself, and braved the cold wind to watch the boatman turn over the corpses with bamboo poles, identify them, and make sure that there were no broken teeth in it before he relaxed a little.
There were a total of twenty-seven corpses drifting over, and it was thought that the other party had killed people, and after successfully controlling the fleet, he did not kill again.
Between Lin Xiuyuan and the other corpses, there was an interval of nearly an hour, which shows that the entire ship hijacking process went through two stages.
Tang Yin roughly deduced that the other party did not encounter resistance at first, but after Lin Xiuyuan was humiliated and humiliated and threw himself into the river, the others endured for a while before they fought back, but unfortunately they failed and were suppressed.
After getting along with Hou Tong for a short time, Tang Yin also believed that he would not catch small and magnify things, but the situation is unknown, and he can only judge according to the existing information at present, and he will ask for details when he sees Hou Tong in the future.
As if the fleet was on the alert of a great enemy, the boatmen climbed to the top of the ship to look out, and at the same time reduced the speed of the boat, lest there be bandit ships waiting to intercept them.
After walking fearfully for most of the day, there were no suspicious ships, but Tang Yin did not dare to relax, Jian Taicheng did not leave the bow of the ship, the boatman changed shifts once every hour, and even the craftsmen volunteered to join the shift.
If you ignore it, you will be caught by the thief, and all the people will not be able to escape, and no one wants to become a dead corpse who drifts with the tide and cannot enter the ground.
After discussing with Jian Taicheng, he decided to turn passive into active, find the nearest dock to dock, and take the land route to Hangzhou.
The transportation of hundreds of people is a big project, and there are no less than dozens of carriages needed for the goods alone, and Tang Yin is willing to spend money and may not be able to find enough cars.
Tang Yin didn't care so much, instead of waiting for an unknown enemy to surprise and get stuck in the river for slaughter, it was better to find another way.
Not wanting to go alone, Tang Yin informed everyone on the boat of this proposal, and immediately got everyone's support, they didn't want a car, they would rather walk, as long as they could leave the boat and go to a safe place.
Jian Taicheng was the owner of the ship, and he was confident that Hou Tong would not harm him, so he asked for his order to escort the empty ship back to Jiangning, and by the way, he deceived the enemy and covered Tang Yin and his party.
After explaining Jian Taicheng's carefulness, Tang Yin got off the boat at the Suzhou wharf, and it took a delay of three days to get together more than a dozen cars, the old and weak women and children took the car, the young man pushed the cart with his belongings, and more than 200 people walked on the official road.
On the way, I heard that the Jin soldiers burned and robbed in Bianjing, raped and insulted the Daling woman, the fire in the city is still burning to this day, Shenzong and Shuzong have become prisoners, and the palace has become a large camp of Wanyan Zongwang and Wanyan Zonghan, and the concubines and princesses are forced to pour wine and dance for them, and the people who escaped from the city are encountered bandits outside the city, as well as unscrupulous Daling officers and soldiers.
The country is broken, and his family is still persecuting his family, all kinds of unbearable and unwilling, so that the craftsmen can't help crying.
In addition to being disappointed, they regarded Tang Yin as their only hope, especially when Tang Yin did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to ensure the safety of everyone, this dependence was even deeper.
Guo Erhu's eldest son, Guo Shanqiang, kowtowed to Tang Yin and lost his sincerity, and before the imperial court recalled, he was in Liuru Jugan, and there was no word for any sending.
With this promise alone, Tang Yin will not lose any amount of money he spends.
The imperial court will definitely be reorganized again, but without the Yellow Book, it is impossible to get back the ability of these military craftsmen to look at Shaofu, and it is impossible for Tang Yin to spit it out by himself. (To be continued.) )
