Chapter 103: Dark War

Tie Qi led the way in front and came to the back office. In this duty room, there is a bed in it, and there are several people around the bed, including Ruan Aoyue, Mei'er, the medical officer, Zhang Wei and Wang Shun.

After Yue Su entered the door, he didn't wait for everyone to salute, and rushed to the window in a few steps. On the bed lay a young girl, whose face was like gold paper, and it was evident that she was seriously injured. However, the girl's eyes were open, and there were tear stains in the corners of her eyes, and when she saw Yue Su, the first thing she said was, "Lord Yue, my sister is really ...... Dead ......"

The girl is none other than Zimei.

It turned out that after Wentian killed Han Lian and Zimei escaped calmly, Li Zhong immediately called the medical officer to diagnose the injuries of the second daughter.

Han Lian was pierced through the chest by a long sword and was killed on the spot. Zimei's luck is good, this dart seems to be shot in the heart, but it is half an inch off, and she did not take someone's surname at the time. The medical officer is a veteran in dealing with traumatic injuries, and immediately stopped Zimei's bleeding, applied the best golden medicine, and bandaged the wound. Seeing that her life was fine, she was asked to be carried to the governor's yamen on a stretcher, and of course, Han Lian's body was also carried over.

As soon as Yue Su saw Hanlian and Zimei, he recognized these two as maids in the original prefect's palace Naisen's mansion. This time, it was quickly concluded that there must be something strange in Gong Naisen's death. Han Lian is dead, and the living Zimei has become the key to solving the case. Yue Su immediately placed Zimei in the duty room to rest, and asked his wife Ruan Aoyue to help take care of it. Because Zimei had been in a coma, Yue Su had a report from the servants, and Tong Zhou arrived with Zou Feng, so he arrived at the main hall first.

When Yue Su was interrogating the case, Zimei woke up and found that she was not dead, so she immediately inquired about Hanlian's situation. Ruan Aoyue told the truth, and Zimei cried silently when she heard it. Knowing that this is the governor's yamen, Xuan even said that he wanted to meet Lord Yue.

Zimei is a master after all, Yue Su didn't dare to take it lightly, and left Tie Qiu, Zhang Wei, and Wang Shun in the room to protect his wife. So, Ruan Aoyue immediately ordered Tie Qiu to go to the main hall and ask Yue Su to come over.

Facing Zimei's question, Yue Su nodded and said, "That girl was pierced through her chest by a sharp sword and is already dead. ”

Fortunately, Ruan Aoyue had already told Zimei before, and Zimei heard it again, so she was relatively calmer. She said in a desolate voice: "I was the one who should have died, and my sister died on my behalf because she gave me the peace charm." It's all my fault...... I shouldn't have asked her for a peace charm...... There is also a chance that she will find her loved ones...... And my loved ones...... It's long gone...... I'm a superfluous person in the world...... Alive, and dead...... There is no difference anymore...... God should have let me die...... Leave her behind...... The two of us have been dependent on each other since childhood...... She's dead...... I'm living alone...... What's the point......"

She muttered to herself sadly, Yue Su and Ruan Aoyue stood aside and didn't say a word. After a while, Zimei said faintly, "Lord Yue, can I see my sister's corpse?" As he spoke, he tried to sit up.

Ruan Aoyue hurriedly held her down and said softly, "Girl, your injuries are still very serious, don't move." Immediately, he turned his head to look at Yue Su, "Husband, hurry up and let someone bring that girl's body in." ”

Yue Su nodded and said, "Zhang Wei, Wang Shun, go and bring that girl's body in." ”

"Yes, sir." The two of them were ordered to go out, and in a short time they asked Han Lian's body to be carried in.

Han Lian's body was put on the ground, and the person was already stiff, and the blood on his chest made his clothes rainbow. Yue Su flashed to the side, and Ruan Aoyue and Mei'er helped to support Zimei, so that she could turn around slightly. Looking at Han Lian's corpse, Zimei's tears flowed down her eyes and she muttered to herself sadly again. "Sister, I didn't expect that we didn't die under Lord Yue's knife, but would die at the hands of Master. Master doesn't believe us like this, and still stares at us and kills us...... You and I were raised by him since childhood...... We have always treated him as a relative...... But he ...... But they have always used us as tools...... Everything in the world...... I've seen through ...... Younger sister...... Wait for my sister to avenge you...... I'll go down with you...... We will always be good sisters......"

Zimei's tears flowed more and more, and Mei'er took out a handkerchief to help her wipe her tears and snot. After crying for a long time, Zimei finally said, "Lord Yue...... Thank you for taking care of me...... If you want to know anything, just ask...... I only hope you can promise me one condition......"

"Girl, you can say it, I will agree to you on any conditions. Even, open the net and let you live. Yue Su said affirmatively.

"My hands are covered in blood...... The sin is unforgivable...... All these years of living in things...... It has always been used as a tool...... If I don't have my sister with me...... It's no different from The Walking Dead...... Now my sister is dead...... I don't want to linger either...... I just ask the adults to promise me...... After I die...... Bury me and my sister together......" Zimei said with tears in her eyes.

"Girl, why do you bother, ants are still stealing life, let alone human? Since my husband said that he can save you, why do you blindly ask for death. By the way, didn't you still say that your sister still has relatives, you two sisters are deeply affectionate, she has unfulfilled wishes, you can help her complete it. Otherwise, you tell the lord where your sister is from, and the lord will scatter the paperwork and help you find it, and you may be able to find it. Ruan Aoyue persuaded softly.

Her words really worked, Zimei's eyes lit up after hearing it, and she said to herself, "Yes...... My sister has always wanted to see her relatives again...... I often hold that peace charm and cry...... She really felt like she had seen her parents...... If she could find her parents...... Invite her parents to her grave to see her...... She is under the Nine Springs...... It should be able to be blinded...... Younger sister...... By that time...... Sister will go down and accompany you ......"

With this thought popping up in her heart, Zimei looked at Yue Su and said hopefully, "Lord Yue, you can really help me and find my sister's relatives......"

"As long as you tell where she's from, I'll help you find her." This is not Yue Su's boasting, with his current status and status, he can say hello to any place, and the local officials will have to do it as if they had received a holy decree.

"I remember that Master picked her up on the way to Hangzhou, and maybe she could find her relatives there." Zimei said faintly.

"Zhejiang Hangzhou ......" Yue Su nodded and said, "Do you have any tokens that can recognize her relatives?" ”

"Yes." Zimei took out the peace charm that Hanlian had given her from her collar with difficulty. "This is the talisman that my sister has worn around her neck since she was a child, and it should have been left by her parents when they abandoned her."

This peace charm is very special, whether it is workmanship or texture, it is several times better than the ordinary amulet in the temple. At first glance, it's not an ordinary person's thing. On the amulet, there is a special symbol drawn, this symbol is very strange, not like a Buddhist or Taoist symbol, perhaps Hanlian's parents deliberately left it as a sign of recognition in the future.

Yue Su bowed his head again and said: "That's it, when this case is over, I will write to Zhejiang, ask the prefect of Hangzhou to help, and Zhang Bang will look for it." only said that this matter was important, and forgive him for not daring to disobey. ”

Don't look at Yue Su is the governor of Henan, and he can't control the ground in Zhejiang, but he is still the secretary of the criminal department led by him, as long as he says that this matter involves an important case on the grounds of official business, and the prefect of Hangzhou is ordered to handle it immediately, the ground in Hangzhou still does not dare to delay.

Lord Yue is famous, Zimei is grateful for his promise, and said earnestly: "Thank you for your help." Zimei knows everything that the adults want to ask, so she tells the adults and hopes that the adults can keep their promises. ”

"The ministry has always been true to its word, this is just a gesture for me, since I am an adult, I will never fail to do it." Yue Su said solemnly.

"Okay, I'll tell you all the things you want to know."

Although Wentian raised Zimei and Hanlian, he has always used them as killing tools, and he has the grace of nurturing, but he has no feelings. Zimei and Hanlian, who grew up together when they were young, can be described as sisters, several times closer than their own sisters. My sister died because she gave her the amulet, and she didn't die because she had her sister's amulet, so Zimei felt ashamed of Hanlian. Although the life and death of the two of them may not have much to do with this amulet, people were superstitious at that time, and Zimei did not die, so they immediately thought that it had something to do with it.

It was this that she wanted to avenge her sister and fulfill her unfulfilled wish. If she wants to take revenge and find Hanlian's relatives in the vast sea of people, she doesn't have that ability, and the only thing she can help her with now is Yue Su in front of her.

Since he is a killer, he naturally knows how to exchange. She also believed that Yue Su would not break his word and get fat, and at that moment, she quietly told what she knew, 1510.

Zimei is an orphan who didn't know who her parents were since she was a child, and she was adopted by Wentian first. At that time, he had been following Wentian all over the world, and he often had to avoid the pursuit of the enemy, and when he was passing through Hangzhou, Wentian saw the abandoned Hanlian again, so he also hugged her back. What is the origin of Wentian, Zimei and Hanlian don't know, they just follow Wentian to wander around. Similarly, every year, the enemy will find him and fight a bloody battle. However, his enemy is quite upright, and every time he comes, it is not difficult for the two children, just looking for the sky. The enemy's kung fu is also higher than that of Wentian, who was able to escape death several times, all by using Hanlian and Zimei as shields, and for this reason, he also left a lot of scars on the child. Ten years ago, Wentian fled to Jiujiang Mansion, Jiangxi, and was caught up by the enemy again, this time he had a heart, did not give Wentian any opportunity to use the child, and almost killed Wentian, who was seriously injured and fled, happened to meet Zou Jiaren, the prefect of Jiujiang at that time, Zou Jiaren saved his surname and designed to cut off one of the enemy's arms, but he still escaped. Since then, the enemy has disappeared, and Wentian is grateful to Zou Jiaren for saving his life, and he has served in Zou Mansion and become a housekeeper. The two girls also followed there. But he has not lived in Zou Mansion, but in the outer house. With Zou Jiaren's promotion, Wentian has been to Huguang and then to Henan.

Zou Jiaren's son, Zou Feng, is a prodigal son, but he also likes to be vassally elegant, and he has no talent to learn, but he always gets together with some literati. When he arrived in Kaifeng, Zou Feng was also like this, and made friends with the most famous seventh prince in Kaifeng at that time, and people saw him as the son of the political envoy, so he couldn't show his face, so he interacted with him. Once, when the eight of them were drinking, a son surnamed Zhang got drunk and inadvertently said that there was a rare treasure in the family called Blood Agate. Saying that this treasure is very strange, as long as you hold it to sleep, you can survive all diseases, and even live forever. At the same time, a legend is also told. The reason why this blood agate is called this name is because it drinks blood, and only the blood of babies who have just landed, and it has to be babies who have not drunk a mouthful of anything. When it drinks the blood slowly, those who possess it will be able to give immortality. But this is just a legend, doing this is also extremely damaging to Yin Virtue, Zhang Gongzi has never tried it, and when he got this treasure on his ancestors, he didn't try it.

After Zou Feng heard this legend, he thought about getting this treasure in his mind. He is the son of a political envoy, and his family has the power and money, Zhang Gongzi can't stand him with both soft and hard, so he has no choice but to sell the blood agate to Zou Feng at a price of 10,000 taels. Zou Feng got the baby, so he couldn't wait to experiment, sent people around to find the family of the pregnant woman to be born, and after finding out, he sent the dead man to rob it on the day of delivery. Not to mention, after slaughtering the snatched baby, the blood that flowed out poured on the agate can really be absorbed, but only a small part can be sucked in. In this way, if you want to wait for the agate to suck it up, you will have to drink the blood of thousands of babies.

But Zou Feng seemed to be obsessed, and seeing that the experiment was successful, he kept sending people to find pregnant women and snatch the baby. The demon in his heart confused his surname, and even the people he knew did not let go, and when he heard that the wife of the son surnamed Zhang and the son surnamed Liu was pregnant for ten months and was about to give birth, he also sent the dead to rob it.

There were so many incidents of stealing babies in the city, and the seventh prince quickly thought that it was Zou Feng, but he didn't dare to report it because he was afraid of the strength of the Zou family. didn't expect Zou Feng to be so frustrated, even their children didn't let go, this time, the seventh prince was finally angry and planned to jointly denounce it.

The old and spicy Zou Jiaren also knew about it, Zou Feng was his son, so he couldn't abolish his son, in desperation, he sent someone to kill the seventh prince overnight. He set a fire again, causing the appearance of a misfire. It happened that on that day, the seventh prince was outside discussing where to report it, and he escaped. But Zou Jiaren did not stop there, and continued to send people to kill the seven princes, only forcing the seven people to dare not show their heads and hide in the countryside. In this way, he was eliminated one by one.

The seven sons are all famous, and the seven families were killed, such an answer, there must be an explanation for this matter. The prefect Gong Naisen kept sending people to investigate it day and night, the incident had just happened, and it was relatively easy to find out some clues, but when he was about to find out the case, Zou Jiaren came forward. He gave Zimei and Hanlian to Gong Naisen, plus five thousand taels of silver. The top boss spoke, and face had to be given, and in the end, Gong Naisen could only preach to the outside world, and the seven families died of [***], and the case was slowly calmed down.

Until Yue Su patrolled Henan, Zou Jiaren was worried that someone would go to Yue Su to redress his grievances, and it was inconvenient for him to come forward, so he asked Gong Naisen to send someone. Gong Naisen was ordered to act, and sent people to see Yue Su at the street entrance of the governor's yamen, in order to find out, Zou Jiaren was afraid that Yue Su would find out the truth from Gong Naisen, so Han Lian and Zimei forced Gong Naisen and the housekeeper Gong Yu to death.

After that, Zimei also told all about the murder and extermination, as well as the assassination of Yue Su in Yanshi County, the seizure of the door at night, and Zou Feng's blinding in one eye.

When Zimei finished speaking, she no longer had the strength to lie on the bed and fell asleep. After hearing this, Yue Su and the others were all resentful of the Zou family's madness.

With so many lives, even if it is the love between teachers and students, even if it is in the hands of others, Yue Su can't care about it. If you don't kill Zou Jiaren's father and son, how can you be worthy of the conscience of heaven and earth.

"Tieqiu, immediately upload my order, let Tong Zhou go to Zou Mansion with a fire stick, and escort Zou Jiaren to the court!" After speaking, Yue Su turned around and walked towards the outside of the house.

Tieqiu trotted all the way to the front to give orders.

Outside Zou Jiaren's house.

In the dark night, the fans of the East Factory kept a close eye on the yard.

At this time, there were more than a dozen men in black, running through the alley and running to the back door of the Zou Mansion.

This scene was carefully watched by the fans who were guarding there, although the fans didn't know the origin of these people, but Lord Tian had already instructed that as soon as there was a stir, he would reply immediately.

A fan immediately ran to the Meng family's house. The flower hall was still brightly lit, and Fanzi didn't greet him outside the door, ran into the hall in a few steps, knelt down on one knee, and said loudly: "Lord Qiqi, just now more than a dozen black-clothed people sneaked into the Zou family, I don't know what the attempt is." ”

Tian Ergeng, who was seated, listened to it, thought for a moment, and then his eyes lit up, and he shouted loudly: "It's not good, this is someone who wants to get rid of Zou Jiaren first!" ”

"My lord, what should I do?" Meng Chuke on the side hurriedly asked.

"It's not so easy to kill people from under my nose in Dongchang." Tian Ergeng said loudly: "Strict protection! ”

"Humble duty!" A man in black immediately stepped out of the line and bowed in response.

"Immediately lead someone to infiltrate Zou Mansion and secretly protect Zou Jiaren, and must not let him make a mistake!" Tian Ergeng gave the first order.

"Obedience!" The fan who called Yan Bao agreed, walked out of the hall in a few steps, waved his hand, greeted more than a dozen black-clothed fans, quickly left the compound, and went to Zou Mansion.

Tian Ergeng in the hall, after Yan Bao left, muttered to himself: "Who is this person who wants to kill Zou Jiaren and kill him?" ”

"My lord, could it be Yue Su?" Meng Chuke whispered: "The one who wants Zou Jiaren to die the most is naturally Zou Jiaren, who knows the details of cheating, and wants to judge Zou Jiaren openly, Yue Su may not dare, so he wants to get rid of him in private." ”

"Yue Su is now the governor of Henan, and he has the power of life and death, if he wants to get rid of Zou Jiaren, why don't he have to wait until today. Whether it is open or dark, with Yue Su's strength, it is very easy to kill Zou Jiaren. It could never be him! "To be Wei Zhongxian's number one thug, Tian Ergeng is by no means a brave and unscrupulous person, he understands that if Yue Su wanted to get rid of Zou Jiaren, he would have done it a long time ago. Anyway, there are so many officials who died under Lord Yue Sha's head, and Zou Jiaren is not one worse. After slaughtering, the crime of embezzlement and bribery is just that. Anyway, it's not clean, and the family's current silver, even if he has been a political envoy since Jiajing, can't save so much.

"That's not Yue Su, who else could it be?" Meng Chuke said with some confusion.

"You ask me, who do I ask. However, the other party was able to kill Zou Jiaren at this time, obviously knowing this matter very well, and it was still a person who was facing Yue Su. It's just that I can't manage so much now, let's save Zou Jiaren first. You remember for me, as soon as this matter is over, immediately give me a thorough investigation, and I must find out that person! ”

"Obedience!"

In Zou Jiaren's study, Zou Jiaren leaned back in a chair behind the bookcase. His eyes were closed, as if he was thinking about something. There was only one person in the room now, and it was very quiet, but soon the silence was broken by the slight sound of footsteps.

Zou Jiaren didn't open his eyes, and it seemed that from the footsteps, he could guess who the visitor was. He only said lightly: "The matter is all settled." ”

"Back to the master's words, it's all settled. All of them were thrown into the well in the young master's courtyard. "The person who came was asking the sky.

"Master, you have the grace to save your life for asking the sky, and you have solved the enemy for me, great kindness, and asking the sky is unforgettable." Wentian said, sighed, and said: "In the current case, I don't think there is a chance to turn around, and the handle in the hands of adults will bring more trouble to adults." Regardless of whether Yue Su knew about the case or not, it didn't matter now, as long as he had the heart to deal with the son, he would have to take it with the master. If you want to add sin, there is no excuse. I don't think it's as good as this, I escaped from Kaifeng overnight with my lord, let's go to the capital and go to Gonggong Wei. Looking at the world, perhaps only Grandpa Wei can save the master. ”

Zou Jiaren shook his head and said, "Ask the sky, what you think is too simple. Even if we escape to the capital, Wei Zhongxian will only temporarily take me in and use the handle in my hand to attack Yue Su. But as a result, it's hard to say how the emperor will deal with Yue Su, but one thing is certain, I am dead, and Wei Zhongxian will not protect me, because he asked me to come forward to expose it, just because he wanted me to die with Yue Su. Therefore, I can't enter Beijing, so I can only rely on this hole card to make a last fight in the open and honest situation. Besides, do you think I'm still able to walk now? Li Wenzhang has already recognized Yue Su's son-in-law, and he also knows this handle, will he allow someone who hinders him to live in the world? If my guess is correct, it won't be long before his people come to the door. ”

"Master, what should I do? The Li family is rich and powerful, and I heard that there are many masters. Wentian said anxiously.

"If I go out now, it's easy for him to kill me. But staying here, it's not so easy for him to touch me. After all, this is my home, the residence of the imperial court's political envoys, and there are so many soldiers and guards no matter how poor it is. He wouldn't have sent a few hundred men to rush in. Zou Jiaren said lightly: "I have just sent someone to convene the nursing home, and I will come to the study to guard later." At least they can wait until Yue Su's people arrive. ”

Wentian nodded and said, "The old man is still wise and thoughtful." ”

But at this moment, a series of footsteps suddenly sounded outside, and the footsteps were very soft, that is, a master like Wentian could hear it.

"It's coming!"

(To be continued)
