Chapter 48: Disappearance

The shrimp head doesn't want to die, who would? Xu An didn't want to die, Lu You and Azhi didn't want to die, and even Wang Shuangxi, who thought that he was worse than dead, didn't want to die either.

"Whether Yang Shizi did it intentionally or unintentionally, he didn't want people to know, right?" Shrimp head wiped his tears with his sleeve.

"His grandmother's, his own uncle died because of him, of course he doesn't want people to know." Lu You swung his fist, but Xiao Ji had been smashed by Wang Shuangxi, so he had to put down his fist with hatred.

Azhi whispered on the side: "The situation was critical at that time, maybe Yang Shizi didn't notice the shrimp head, would he think that no one saw it?" ”

"No, we were with Yang Shizi at that time, whether we saw it or not, as long as he did it, he would be jealous of us, even if we clear our suspicions today, he will find an opportunity to kill us in the future", it was Wang Shuangxi who spoke, he looked at his arm that could no longer be raised, and said with a wry smile, "I knew this was the case, it was better to be like Liu Jing, an arrow through the throat, it can be regarded as a martyrdom, and leave a bereavement for the family." ”

Everyone was speechless, the needle drop in the house could be heard, and after a while, there was a cry of shrimp head: "My relatives have no men, let me swear in front of my father's grave that I will give them a pension in the future, which made me take the position of school captain, and now I want to die before them, I can't keep my promises, and I want to go to the oil pot in the underworld, I'm so scared!" ”

The shrimp head covered his face, and a suppressed cry came out of his palm, and everyone's hearts sank.

They didn't swear in front of their parents' graves, but they didn't break out of the cracks in the stones, Xu An and Lu You have wives and children in the high hall, Wang Shuangxi has widowed sisters-in-law and nieces to rely on him to support, Azhi has an unmarried wife who has been engaged since childhood, if he dies, this girl will be widowed.

Azhi said to himself: "I can't die, even if I die, I must first withdraw from my relatives, and I can't harm others." ”

"We can't die, none of us can die. If Yang Shizi was calculated and died for this matter, not only did he not receive compensation, but he also did not take up his post, how would the family live? So we must not die! ”

It was Xu An who spoke, his voice was low and trembling, he couldn't die, he was the pillar of the family, and the whole family depended on him.

"Yes, we were also born by our parents, why should we be scapegoats, Lao Tzu doesn't want to wait for death here, Lao Tzu went to fight with them, then it can be regarded as a happy one." Lu You's eyes were bloodshot, he was in a hurry, he couldn't stand this the most.

"Uncle Lu You, we can't fight them, our ancestors have not followed Emperor Taizu to fight the country, and we do not have the support of the Empress Dowager, our lives are not as good as dust." Shrimp Head cried.

Wang Shuangxi sat in a daze, he was already a waste, but as long as he lived, Flying Fish Wei could give him a salary. In a few years, buy a decent dowry for your niece and let her marry beautifully. But if he dies, after his niece marries into her mother-in-law's family, her mother's family will not even have anyone to support her, and her honest character will be bullied......

"Uncle Xu An, you are the oldest, you have an idea, we will all listen to you." Shrimp Head said.

"Yes, it's all up to you."

"You have an idea!"

......

Xu An swept over the faces of the four people one by one, and the four people, four pairs of eyes, looked at him hopefully.

Xu An's gaze gradually became firm, and he said in a deep voice: "From now on, none of the five of us can die......"

They don't want to die, and they don't want to be caught.

The people who went to the boat to arrest Master Jiang came back, and the boat was empty, and Master Jiang's father and daughter, along with their entourage, even the boatmen did not know where to go.

"Lord Shizi, the people on the boat next to him said that they saw the fire cooking on the boat in the morning, there were people quarreling on the shore, and the family members also came out to see the excitement, but no one paid attention to when they left." The man who sent it said.

"Quarrel? What kind of fight? Yang Jincheng asked.

"Oh, it's just that a big ship lost a small sampan, and it was stolen by the officers and soldiers, and it was so noisy, it was definitely unreasonable, I think it was detained and not allowed to leave, so let's take advantage of this incident." The person who came said.

"Lost a small sampan?" Yang Jincheng's eyes narrowed slightly, "Why didn't anyone report such an important matter to me?" ”

The person who came was stunned: "This matter...... It doesn't matter......

Yang Jincheng snorted coldly and strode out.

As the man said, there was no one on board.

Yang Jincheng walked into the cabin, trying to find what the men had left behind.

No, no, not even a grain of rice left, these people are like drops of water in the sun, disappearing out of thin air, if he hadn't been here in person yesterday, he would have even thought that these people had never appeared!

Yang Jincheng's face could not see joy and sorrow, he stood in the cabin for a moment, turned around and walked out.

It was past noon at this time, and if those people had taken advantage of the chaos in the morning, they would have been a hundred miles away by now.

"Go to the boat and ask if the sampan they threw is marked, and then take my name tag, borrow twenty men from the guard, and divide the soldiers into two ways, and search along the north and south sides of the canal to find the sampan."

Those people will not all be on the sampan, they must also be divided into two ways, some by water, some by land, with only a small sampan can not go far, once they leave the place of right and wrong, they will abandon the boat and go ashore, so find the discarded sampan, you can know the direction they are going.

At this moment, another guard sent by the guard to assist ran over: "Yang Shizi, something happened!" ”

"What's the matter?" Yang Jincheng asked.

"Your place is out of water!" The person said in a hurry.

In the past two days, in order to facilitate the search, Yang Jincheng did not live in the official post, but chartered an inn near the wharf.

Yang Jincheng's brows moved, and he looked in the direction of the inn, and sure enough, although he couldn't see the fire here, he could also see the billowing smoke, and someone had already come to the river with buckets to fetch water to put out the fire.

"Yang Shizi, do you have any valuables left in the inn?" The Yang family's ship sank, Yang Shizi's things were all on the ship, and even the clothes on his body were temporarily purchased, so how could there be any valuables? It's just asking.

Yang Jincheng frowned and asked, "What about the five people who escaped with me?" ”

The person who came was stunned, and subconsciously looked behind Yang Jincheng, yes, those five people are Yang Shizi's entourage, where did they go?

He didn't follow Yang Jincheng, because he didn't know that Yang Jincheng asked those five people to go back and "think about it".

Fortunately, the inn was very close to the dock, and there were many people sent by the guard to patrol the dock, and after two hours, the fire was gradually extinguished, but a good inn was still half burned.

"Dead people, dead people, burned people!"

In some places, there were small flames, and someone went to sprinkle water, but they found the corpse!

The charred corpses were scattered all over the inn, there were more than a dozen, and some could be distinguished from the fragments of clothes left on their bodies, which were military uniforms, and they were the people Yang Jincheng left in the inn; In one of them, there were five corpses, so miserable that they could no longer be seen.
