Chapter II: Post-mortem
"Miss! Miss! ”
A white little maid hugged Jiang Li: "General Wei has a message from there, saying that you want to come back." Master, master, they are all gone, woo woo woo. ”
Holding Jiang Li's hand again, distressed and sad: "Miss, does your injury still hurt, do you remember anything?" ”
patted his chest: "The slave maid's name is Heru, and she is the maid who served you before." You said that the bitter cold in Western Xinjiang was reluctant to go to the slave and maid, so you didn't take the slave and maid with you when you got married, and the lord and they all went, and now there is only one slave and maid left in Jiangfu...... The old man said that someone in the family must explain the aftermath, so let the slave and maid take care of the house....."
Talking and talking, lotus like tears like rain, heartbroken, sad and frightened, let Jiang Li also come from sadness.
She took Herulou in her arms and stroked her head. After a while, I also stroked the depression in my heart.
Heru helped Jiang Li into the door, and the ransacked Jiang Mansion was surrounded by four walls, and the unpopular mansion looked even more depressed.
The mourning hall only stopped a thin coffin, Heru wiped away her tears, and said in a choked voice: "Miss, the master ordered the ashes to be buried with his wife, in the peach forest behind Daye Temple on the outskirts of Beijing." ”
"Okay." Jiang Li replied calmly, I don't know why, she was only shocked for a moment by such a drastic change, and then quickly calmed down. Sad? I touched my heart, and I was a little sad.
"Today, I want to send the master's coffin to Daye Temple, Master Wuchen is a friend of the old man before his death, and he will help chant the scriptures for a day."
Jiang Li put his palm on the lid of the coffin, "Miss, don't look at it, master, it's not good to see it." ”
"It doesn't matter." Jiang Li pushed open the lid of the coffin, although he had changed his clothes, but the blood stains that showed could be seen that there were at least fifteen arrow wounds on his body, which was really not good-looking.
Jiang Li couldn't help but take a closer look at the arrow wound, this arrow hit the ankle, the arrow was diagonally inserted, he should be standing on the city wall, but this arrow did not let him retreat, because then he was hit by three arrows in the calf, these three arrows were straight into the head, and it was a preview of the head.
Jiang Li gestured his position, above the calf should not have been injured at that time, judging from the distance, he should have blocked the remaining arrows with a sword or knife.
Judging from the number of three arrows in the calf, there should have been dozens of arrows shooting at him at that time, and he could block them one by one, and his martial arts were extraordinary. So......
Jiang Li turned Jiang Ming's body over, by the way, this is it, there is a one-foot-long knife wound on his back, it is a sneak attack! Sneak attack from behind!
Hit by a knife in the back, he turned around, and sure enough, there were three arrows in his back.
Neck, strangulation!
Looking at the arm again, there was no arrow wound.
but an arrow in the chest and abdomen.
Jiang Li closed his eyes, he was attacked, turned around, fought with people, was strangled from behind, facing the outside of the city, his hands also lost their mobility, and he was killed by the enemy's arrows.
With his skills, he should be more than one person who restrained him!
The fact that he was able to stand on the city wall shows that there should have been someone he trusted behind him at that time.
Who is the murderer!
"Miss, the master is wronged. The Tartars attacked the city, and the eunuch in charge of the capital's weapons room had to accept bribes before he was willing to issue weapons. If it weren't for that, how could he be like this with the master's skills.
The Tartars entered the city to burn and rob, and now the family can only afford this thin coffin, and the old man is now angry with the emperor, and there is no one who even comes to pay his respects, and everyone avoids the Jiang family like a snake and scorpion.
The old man is obviously a hero who resists the enemy, but now he is like this, which is too unfair! ”
As he spoke, his eyes were red, but he held back his trembling lips.
Jiang Li was summoned back to his senses by Heru, and his heart was shocked. She is a boudoir lady, why would she subconsciously look at the corpse and analyze the scars!
Clenched palms, a layer of sweat broke out.
Jiang Li looked at Heru carefully, but a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl, she could still calm down in the face of great changes, and arrange the future affairs of the head of the family properly, which is really rare.
There is no jewelry on the whole body: "In order to buy this thin coffin, you have also hollowed out everything now." ”
Heru lowered his head: "This is what a slave should do, the master and the young lady treat me very well." The lord is a good man. ”
took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and unfolded it, revealing half of the broken silver: "There are still these, I originally wanted to hire someone to help Fu Ling go to Daye Temple, but now no one dares to take over the Jiang family's affairs." ”
While speaking, a group of people dressed as officers and soldiers rushed in shouted at Heru: "Why are you still here, didn't you let you leave quickly?" Now it's time to close the house, go immediately, hurry up. As he spoke, he struck the coffin board with his saber.
He Ru hurriedly used his body to protect the coffin, and hurriedly saluted: "Official, I'm sorry for your trouble, my young lady is back today to see off the master." We'll be right away. ”
