Chapter 476: Life Should Not Be Extinguished
"We're here for you." Those killers all knew that Murong Shi and Jiang Zhan were not easy to mess with.
"So you've always wanted to kill me, but why did you want to attack Grandpa Zhou?" Murong Shi was very calm when he was assassinated.
However, as long as it involves the people around him, he will be desperate to take down the killer.
"As soon as we came, we found that you were gone, and when we saw that there were still people in the courtyard, we wanted to solve him directly, so that the matter would not be leaked out, and we would all have to die." Since he didn't want to die himself, he could only kill the old man, so that he couldn't tell what he saw.
Originally, they all thought about it, as long as they solved the old man with one sword, they would chase Murong Shi again, so that even if they failed to kill him in the end, they would still have a chance to escape back.
It's a pity that they didn't think that Jiang Zhan and Murong Shi would come back, not to mention that they wanted to kill people and kill their mouths, and they also gave their lives to others.
"Tell me who hired you, and maybe I'll spare your life as soon as I'm pleased." Murong Shi's eyes were full of murderous intent.
If their plan succeeds, then he will become the culprit of the death of his benefactor, which he cannot accept.
"We all came on orders from our leaders, and we didn't know who the mercenary was." How could the people of the organization reveal such a secret matter to them?
They did as they were told, and then they took the money back.
"It seems that it is impossible to ask for clues from their mouths today, so it is better to control people first." They can't have stayed here all the time for this purpose.
"I'm worried that if these people don't succeed, the other party will find someone to assassinate them again." If it was just aimed at him, Murong Shi didn't care.
However, he didn't want to die for himself as an old man who was kind to him.
"If you really don't feel at ease, why don't you take Old Man Zhou back to the capital, so that you can take care of him nearby." Jiang Zhan proposed.
He thought about it, and it was completely feasible.
"I'll go discuss it with Grandpa Zhou." Murong Shi still wanted to respect his opinion, after all, if the old man didn't go, if he had to force it, it would only make each other unhappy.
"Grandpa Zhou, I want to take you to the capital with me, are you willing?" Murong Shi looked at him and said.
"I've spent most of my life in the countryside, and I don't want to go to such a prosperous place in the capital." He was used to working in the fields, and if he was really allowed to do nothing, he would be uncomfortable.
"Today's killer, although he has been caught, it is inevitable that he will encounter it in the future, and I am afraid that you will still be in danger." He told him all the reasons why he wanted to take him away.
"You can find a way to send me to other places directly, and I won't go to the capital." After all, it's definitely not peaceful over there, and he likes to farm.
"Okay, I'll arrange this." After thinking for a while, Murong Shi agreed for the time being.
Then he told Jiang Zhan about it, in fact, he was more inclined to take people back to take care of them personally.
However, he was used to the comfortable days and was reluctant to go with him.
"Actually, the old man's idea is not bad, I'm afraid it's not calm in the capital now, once you go back, you may also face danger." Jiang Zhan groaned slightly, and then felt that his idea was good.
So after discussing the route directly with the old man, he sent someone to send him away secretly.
He was originally implicated by Murong Shi, as long as he left the land of right and wrong, no one would care about his identity at all, and he would be completely safe.
After seeing off the old man, they set off for Beijing again.
This time, they were not attacked or assassinated on the way.
However, the two of them are still vigilant in their identities, afraid that someone will suddenly rush out and be unfavorable to them.
"Murong, I heard Your Majesty mention before that your family caused a murder because of a treasure, do you know the whereabouts of that thing, maybe if you find it, your family's grievances and hatred can be cleared up."
Jiang Zhan felt that his life experience was even more bumpy and mysterious than his own.
"I don't know about it, and I haven't seen the so-called treasure, I was just over three years old at the time, and I was only old enough to remember, and even if there was such a thing at home, they wouldn't mention it in front of me." At that time, Murong Shi had not yet enlightened, and he played in the house all day long.
Before he had an accident at home, he was actually a mischievous child, and he often wanted to try whatever happened to him.
Later, there was an accident at home, and his mother's dowry mother used her injured son to replace his identity and secretly sent him away.
It's a pity that although he left, he was also chased and killed by unknown people, and the people who protected him fell one by one, and Murong Shi could only run into the woods alone.
Originally, a three-year-old child, once he entered the forest, was either caught or died in an accident because he was too young to find food.
However, he did not want to die, so he met the old man who saved him and stayed with him for a few months.
In fact, the old man still has feelings for him, after all, he is alone, and there is suddenly an extra child in the family, which is much more lively.
It's a pity that Murong Shi's family has changed dramatically, and he has nightmares whenever he gets to night.
For the sake of his life, the old man specially found a place for him.
After Jiang Zhan learned that he didn't actually know anything, he didn't ask anymore.
After all, Murong Shi's parents were wronged for those bad things......
On this day, they met Zheng Yu'er who came from the capital in a hurry on the road.
"Miss Zheng, is she in a hurry to sell out on errands?" Jiang Zhan deliberately stopped and said hello out of friendship with each other.
"Why are you here?" Zheng Yu'er asked with curiosity on her face.
She has been too busy recently, and she hasn't met Xue Yao, so she doesn't know about Jiang Zhan's departure from the capital.
"I ran an errand for the emperor, and now that the matter has been dealt with, I am preparing to return to Beijing to resume my life." Jiang Zhan didn't reveal much.
"Be careful on the road, I still have some business to do, so let's go first." Zheng Yuer talked to them for a few words, and then left in a hurry.
"It's definitely not a trivial matter to be able to make her so anxious." Murong Shi said.
"This is the Zheng family's business, we can't interfere or not, just don't know what to do." Jiang Zhan has never liked to meddle in things.
What's more, the Zheng family is an imperial businessman, if they have a loss, I am afraid that the life of other businessmen will not be too easy.
The Zheng family is extremely good at business, and only their husband and wife can compete in the capital.
However, they have been secretly cooperating for a long time, so the market in the capital has long been under their control.
The emperor also knew about this matter, and he also participated in it, so he didn't need to come forward to take the silver directly.
The emperor knew that they were seeking their consent and asylum, so he happily agreed.
After returning to the capital, Murong Shi went to the palace as soon as possible.
In fact, he said that he really didn't have any impression about his family's affairs back then.
He knew very little, so even if he had hatred in his heart, he never thought of finding out the murderers and taking revenge on them one by one.
Over the years, Murong Shi has always remembered his father's advice to live well, spread the branches for the Murong family, and not return to the capital.
This is also the reason why Jiang Zhan and his wife wanted to leave at the beginning, but Murong Shi said that he would not leave anything.
He was brought to Linhe County by the master, and the master was worried that it would not be safe there, so he deliberately found a small county town in the middle of nowhere and found someone to build a medicine house to live in seclusion.
However, when he was able to stand alone, his master was gone......
Murong Shi entered the palace to see the Queen Mother, and Jiang Zhan felt that there was no need to go over together, so he parted ways with him directly.
He knew that Jiang Zhan had been away for so long, and now he definitely wanted to go back to reunite with his wife and children, so he took the carriage directly towards the palace gate.
After Jiang Zhan returned to the mansion, he went directly back to the courtyard of their husband and wife.
As a result, he only saw the child he hadn't seen for more than a month in another house.
The child is still young and can't express anything, but he is very resolute in sticking to Xue Yao's heart, crying as soon as he hugs him away, and when he wakes up at night, he can't feel the familiar breath, and he will cry instantly.
Both husband and wife felt sorry for the child, so they naturally didn't want him to suffer, so they left him in the room directly.
"Where's Yao'er?" Jiang Zhan walked over and picked up his son.
"Madame is out." The maid said respectfully.
"I know where Yao'er went." Jiang Zhan hugged his son while calling out his wife's name.
"Madame seems to mention any ledger, I really don't know the rest." The maid asked curiously.
Hearing this, Jiang Zhan instantly knew where she went, and the only thing related to the account book was the shop under their name.
Xue Yao didn't have any children, so it was likely that she suddenly went to check the accounts.
In order to prevent someone from secretly removing the money from the shop, when they check the accounts, they often appear unexpectedly, so that no one dares to fool them.
After not seeing her for more than a month, Jiang Zhan just wanted to see her as soon as possible.
So Jiang Zhan directly handed over the child to them to take care of, and then went out.
"The relationship between the young master and his wife is envious of others."
"Madame is not bad in the first place, otherwise how could the young master have a soft spot for her?"
"But I really didn't expect that they have been married for so long, and the relationship between them is not a little rusty, and the relationship is getting better and better!"
……
When Jiang Zhan went out, he didn't know where Xue Yao was checking the accounts at the moment, so he went directly to the restaurant.
"Childe, please." The shopkeeper himself took him to the private room.
"Has Yao'er been here today?" Jiang Zhan had no impression of these unrecognizable people.
"Madame has been here and gone to the west of the city, and she must still be checking the accounts in the restaurant over there." Shopkeeper said.
So Jiang Zhan left quickly, and when he arrived in the west of the city, Xue Yao was really in the restaurant.
Jiang Zhan walked to the door and wanted to go in, when he happened to hear Xue Yao's voice.
"There is news from the caravan that there is something wrong with the goods delivered before, and we are afraid that we will send someone over to solve it."
"Is there a suitable person for the owner?"
"I haven't found it yet, but now that I have the charter in my heart, the problem will be solved soon."
"But what to do with the caravan's lost goods, many people are now sending letters, asking us to compare the goods to them."
"In such a short period of time, we can't raise so many goods."
"With me here, you continue to try to help raise goods, as many as you can, and I'll raise the rest."
Jiang Zhan, who had been standing at the door, pushed the door directly and went in after learning that she was in trouble.
"Ah Zhan, are you back?" Xue Yao's eyes lit up when she saw him, and her eyes were full of joy: "Why didn't you write to me in advance?" ”
