Chapter 42: Suspicion

Mi Zhu's expression was stunned at first, and then, his sunken eyes were instantly moist, and he tried his best to restrain the sentimentality in his heart, but he didn't last for a moment, and the two lines of old tears still rolled down from the corners of his eyes crawling with crow's feet.

The clay pot was naturally the ashes of his sister Mrs. Mi.

"Little sister, little sister...... Mi Zhu's hand trembled and stroked the cold wall of the jar, and on the back of his wrinkled hand, green tendons appeared from time to time.

Mi Fang on the side said silently: "I was ordered by my eldest brother, according to the place that Ah Feng said, I secretly sneaked back to Dangyang pretending to be a businessman, and after looking for three whole days, I finally found the body of my little sister in a private house. I originally wanted to transport her remains back so that the lord could bury her in a beautiful manner, but Cao Jun's patrols along the way were very strict, and I had no choice but to cremate the body and bring her ashes back. ”

Mi Zhu's surging mood gradually calmed down, he raised his sleeves to wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes, stroked Mi Fang's shoulders and comforted: "It's okay, second brother, you have worked hard this time." In this way, Ah Feng did not lie. ”

Mi Fang's expression suddenly became serious, and she leaned close to Mi Zhu's ear and said, "Although the place where I found my little sister's body is the same as what Ah Feng said, I found something suspicious. ”

"What's suspicious?" Mi Zhu immediately became alert.

"When I found the body, although it had begun to decompose, I could still see that my little sister had not suffered anything on her, only a heavy blow to the head, and according to my experience, it should have been a fatal blow."

"This means that the little sister was not injured before she died." Mi Zhu's eyes turned left and right, and suspicion surged on his face.

Mi Fang continued: "Also, my sister's body was wearing the clothes of an ordinary woman, obviously to avoid Cao Jun. ”

"If the little sister is bent on death, why bother to change the clothes of the people's women, and she is not injured, knowing that Ah Feng and Zilong are here, she can be rescued with Ah Dou, how can she think that she will be a drag? Unless ......"

"Unless Ah Feng is lying!"

Mi Zhu's expression was still suspicious, obviously Mi Fang's words were exactly what he guessed in his heart. However, he paced back and forth in the hall for a few steps, but shook his head again and said: "If it is only Ah Feng, it may be possible to suspect him of lying, but there is also Zilong, his surname is known best to you and me, and I really don't believe him if he lies." ”

Mi Fang snorted coldly: "The stakes are very high, since we have found something suspicious, how can we give up easily, I think this matter must be investigated clearly no matter what, otherwise how can it be worthy of the little sister's spirit in the sky." ”

The last sentence was like a sharp blade, deeply stabbing Mi Zhu. The green tendons on his face twitched slightly, and he pondered for a long time and said: "You know and I know this matter, don't publicize it until the truth is known, I have my own measure." ”

…………

A quiet evening breeze blows across the land, and the sun is about to set and dyes everything bright red.

Liu Feng stood on the high platform of the school field, breathing in the air mixed with earth and Jiangwei. He looked up at Xia Kou, and in the setting sun, the huge city wall looked like a patient covered in blood and curled up in pain, with a vague sense of mutilated beauty.

Under the high platform is a square school field, more than 20 steps in length and width, and there is a huge yellow flag embroidered with the word "Liu" at each corner, which dances like a wave under the blowing of the evening breeze.

In the center of the school field, five hundred neatly arranged soldiers stood quietly, although no one dared to speak, but they looked at each other from time to time, and their eyes revealed uneasiness and confusion.

The eldest son of Uncle Liu Huang on the high platform, most of the people present knew that when Beiying was in turmoil, Liu Feng was holding a bloody human head in his hand, like a deterrent posture descended from heaven, and it still makes them feel palpitations when they think of it. And after hearing that they were going to become the part of this eldest prince, everyone felt a chill in their hearts.

It's no wonder that Liu Qi treats people generously, and the same is true for governing the army, these five hundred personal soldiers are used to being pampered and pampered under him, and they are slow and unrestrained, but now they suddenly change to a cold-blooded head, how can they stand it for a while. Therefore, when they heard the news, their first reaction was: the end of the day.

Standing like this for an hour, the eldest prince neither lectured nor gave orders, but just stood there with his hands in his hands, looking at the direction of Xia Kou attentively, as if he was thinking about something, and as if he was waiting for someone.

A flock of crows crouched on the fence around them, their dark eyes staring curiously at the stake-like humans in front of them. Suddenly, a brisk sound of horses' hooves sounded, and a flock of crows arose, hovering over the school yard and chirping, as if to create momentum for the comer.

Liu Feng turned around slowly, and the eagle eyes extended along the avenue leading to Yuanmen, and in his field of vision, a horse was galloping towards him.

"You're finally here, boy." Liu Feng stepped down the steps, ready to greet the man's arrival.

The soldiers now finally understood that their new master had made them stand stupidly for a long time, and it turned out that they were really waiting for someone. Everyone craned their necks and stared wide-eyed in search of prestige, curious to see who the Divine Sanshan was late.

As the rider rushed into the schoolyard, the sergeant burst into a snicker.

Liu Feng suddenly became angry, turned his head violently, and his starry eyes were like blades, shooting at them fiercely. The soldiers' hearts trembled, and they quickly closed their mouths, but when they looked at the man who had dismounted from the saddle, they still held back a smile.

The one who came was none other than Ma Tan.

When Liu Feng saw Ma Yan's outfit, he couldn't help but almost laugh.

At this moment, he is no longer in Confucian attire, but wearing armor and an iron helmet. He was already a little thin, but the armor was a little too big, and when he wore it like this, it was like a child wearing an adult's clothes by mistake, and it looked empty everywhere, and it looked naturally a little funny.

"Jun Sima, you're too late for Shanshan." There was no blame in Liu Feng's words.

Ma Tan straightened his helmet and replied calmly: "The subordinates came on time to obey the order, and the eldest prince came early." ”

Liu Feng looked at his head and said with a smile: "It's true that I'm early, come with me." ”

The two of them went to the high platform, and Liu Feng shook his finger at the five hundred soldiers in front of the stage: "How about it, my military horse, can you have the confidence to help me train these five hundred men and horses into an elite army?" ”

When the soldiers in the audience heard this, they naturally chuckled in their hearts, thinking that they had known that this young boy who came was their boss, and they shouldn't have laughed at others just now.

The young Ma Tan swept his eyes, and his eyes showed a little smugness, as if to say: Let you laugh at me just now, hehe, see how Lao Tzu cleans you up.
