Chapter 21: Chongming Island is not Chongming

In the training grounds.

Mu Shan was dressed in a blue simple suit and looked at everyone in front of him coldly. About ten steps or so in front of him, the sound of a dozen blood-stained sacks of linen had gradually faded, and the body that had been bulldozed for cultivation had rolled out several protrusions in severe pain, and the blood flowed wantonly across it, and for a moment all the young people lowered their eyebrows and were uneasy.

Zhi Ning here was so anxious that he couldn't stop scanning the crowd just after listening to Mu Shan's words, but he didn't see Shen Shiyi. If it weren't for Mu Shan standing aside, she would have even wanted to push away the crowd and raise a personal chin to see if Shen Shiyi was deliberately hiding in the middle of the crowd to scare herself, but this move completely cooled down after glancing at Hongdou, who was also flustered.

The cloth bag was untied, several heads with blood stains on their faces were pulled out of the bag one by one, and more than a dozen pairs of eyes that had regained the light of day were half-opened, and they quickly opened their mouths and breathed heavily. But from the purple-black blood foam that no longer stopped flowing out of his mouth and nose, it was clear that his internal organs had been seriously injured. The foreheads of several others may have broken their skin in the tumbling, and blood flowed down their eyebrows. Red, purple, and black blood stains were mixed on the face, and it was almost impossible to see the original appearance of these people.

"Bah, rats, today I miscalculated and fell into your hands, if you want to kill it, you have to listen to it." An abrupt scolding suddenly came from among the people who were already dying and covered in blood.

The people who bowed their heads were about to look up to see who was still scolding at this moment. Only a scream of pain was heard in his ears, and the young man who had just spoken was suddenly kicked to the side. Blood flowed out of his mouth again. But he was speechless.

The teenagers who were about to raise their heads immediately lowered their heads again, as if everything in front of them had nothing to do with them.

Here, Zhi Ning's heart was furious by this action, and she suddenly remembered the words she had seen in the book in her mind, and her heart was about to attack, and she stepped back half a step before she made a move. Suddenly, Shen Shiyi's face resurfaced in her mind, and Zhi Ning exhaled and calmed down temporarily. At this time, she is no longer such a person who can easily lose control. Fortunately, there was no Shen Shiyi among these people. Even though these people's faces are swollen and stained with blood. But how could Zhining, as Sister Nai, not be able to distinguish Shen Shiyi's appearance. But Eleven is not among these people, so where is he at this moment? Could it be that someone had been killed in the fight, or that he was still hiding somewhere at the moment, and had not yet been found. Zhi Ning was preoccupied and glanced at the red beans in the crowd again. My heart is in turmoil to the extreme.

"What? No one knows these people? Mushan suddenly shouted at the silent crowd with his head bowed, and his voice was like thunder.

The young man who had just lowered his head to hide the unbearable look on his face suddenly returned to his original complexion. Some of the girls who were sobbing quietly and tears were about to flow out of their swirling eyes immediately pretended to wipe their sweat from their clothes, and wiped away the tears that were almost shed. Everyone was silent.

After more than a year of penance, most of the teenagers seemed to have completely forgotten the sudden knife that suddenly fell from the cage and the sound of falling water.

At this time, Mu Shan saw that the effect of deterrence had been achieved, and the angry expression on his face just now slowly eased, he raised his eyes to look at the sun, and a look like a memory appeared on his face, and he said to himself: "Since the Tang Dynasty Jianzhen crossed to the east, we Dongying have scrupulously adhered to our own duties as a subject of the Tang Dynasty. After the naval battle of Yashan in the Southern Song Dynasty, Lu Xiufu took the emperor to throw himself into the sea to destroy the country. On the other hand, you Han people have survived under Mongol rule for nearly a hundred years, and the blood of the Tang people has disappeared from you. Although I am a barbarian in the eyes of you, I still feel sorry for the country to which I belong. As an apprentice of the Tang Dynasty, my country wanted to raise the whole country's army to avenge the Great Song Dynasty, but unexpectedly, it was powerless to take action in the face of domestic civil strife. Fortunately, the Ming Dynasty wiped out the barbarians in one fell swoop, and finally returned the Han people to the world. Our servants were at peace. As everyone knows, the Ming Dynasty is now like a peaceful void, but the uncle seized the nephew's throne and corrupted the discipline, the meritorious minister rabbit died and the dog cooked, and the Wara Mongolia was eyeing the tiger, and I went to congratulate him. The Ming Dynasty wantonly slaughtered our vassals. I really can't stand to see the Heavenly Empire being corrupted to such an extent, so I sent people to carefully find descendants such as meritorious heroes among the people, so that you can restore the prestige of your ancestors and restore the prosperity in the future.

Although you were taken captive before you landed on the island, you were also a criminal after the beginning, or you were a street beggar in the middle of the road, and you will lose your life by your master one day. You ask yourself, since the food supply after landing on the island, which martial arts and literature have not been taught, how come our subject country that respects sinicization and teaches you martial arts is not as good as the court that kills you all over the house? ”

In the end, Mu Shan is scheming, and this half-telling and half-questioning, coupled with some heartfelt words, speaks right in the soft place of these teenagers' hearts. It is true that most of the teenagers standing on the side at this moment are criminal officials, such as Zhi Ning Shen Shiyi were punished in the Crime Slave Workshop, Pulp and Paper Workshop, Huanyi Bureau, etc. in the early years. Some young teenagers, who have been born with consciousness, are slaves of sin and slaves who have been bullied by white eyes. If there is no amnesty from the imperial court, I am afraid that I will be a subordinate in the internal affairs office for the rest of my life. However, since I landed on the island, although my daily practice has been a bit harder, I have hardly worked hard, and I have eaten a few meals. And no matter how much you grow up during this year, there are also intimate clothes to wear. If this is compared, this life is simply heaven and earth compared to the life of a sin slave in the internal affairs office. Then again, the foreign Mongols also ruled the Central Plains for nearly a hundred years, and now they are all foreigners living under them, so what is the difference?

After a pause, Mu Shan saw that the young men were thoughtful, as if they had understood the meaning of their words, and they all slowly raised their heads at this moment. Mu Shan raised his eyelids and glanced at the few slightly trembling sacks on the ground, and sighed: "These young men grabbed the boat and fled, wanting to tell the Ming army. Although there is no way to save it on our island, in order to protect the safety of all our people on the island, we will be severely punished today to set an example. In addition, there were two people who did not flee with them in this defection, but they did not report their escape to Qingnin, and they were also punished, and those who found out and did not report it in the future will be the same as them. With a wave of his hand, he saw two young men with their legs and feet tied from the far woods carried by a tall young ninja to the sidelines, one left and one right.

It's eleven, and the red bean and Zhining look at each other for the third time. The other teenager seemed to be a little familiar, and Zhi Ning had no time to think about it at the moment. Seeing that Shen Shiyi Zhining, who was unharmed but thrown to the ground, his legs began to tremble.

The two pairs of helpless little eyes couldn't stop looking around, and they had heard all what Mushan said just now.

Mu Shan glanced sideways at Zhi Ning, who was constantly shaking his body beside him, sighed softly, and after closing his eyes and thinking for a while, he took two steps forward and kicked over the two of them, and instructed the young people beside him: "Cut off their left little finger, teach them a lesson, and punish them severely if they make mistakes in the future." After speaking, he patted Zhi Ning and turned to leave.

When the two teenagers heard what Mu Shan said, they were stunned for a moment, only to see several green ninjas next to them jump forward, and the two young ninjas sandwiched Zhi Ning in the middle, one left and one right, and did not wait for the others to react. The long knife on the waist of a young ninja was unsheathed, and as soon as the white light appeared, I saw blood splashed, and two little fingers that were still slightly curved fell straight to the ground.

In an instant, two screams broke through the sky in an instant, and two figures fell down one after another under the clear blue sky, raising a cloud of dust.

Qing Ren dragged the sack and gradually retreated. The crowd that had been watching the "lively" for a long time also began to disperse, and only a few figures remained in an open space.

Big tears couldn't stop rolling down her face, and the beads in her heart seemed to have broken threads falling to the ground, and when the blood splashed everywhere, Zhi Ning almost fainted with a pain in her heart,

At the moment, her heart was full of remorse. She hated Zhao Xi why they had to send them to death, and she hated even more why she didn't report the matter to Mushan in advance. Until the stunned red bean pounced from afar and hugged Shen Shiyi's painful body in his arms, Zhi Ning also suddenly woke up from crying, this is not the time to cry.

Zhi Ning raised his hand and wiped his tears with his sleeve, and according to the technique he had learned from his books, he took out a bamboo kettle from his waist and quickly cleaned the wound, and then tore off his clothes from the hem to bandage Shen Shiyi. Under layer after layer of wrapping, I finally stopped the bleeding after a long time. When Zhi Ning looked sideways and looked again, Shen Shiyi had already fainted with the corners of his mouth white. Raising his hand, Zhi Ning tore off another piece of his shirt and threw it at the young man with a miserable white face and clenched teeth, Zhi Ning slowly set up Shen Shiyi with the tearful red beans on the side, and walked tremblingly towards the house where he was the only one left.

Just walked a short distance, a piercing laughter sounded from the front: "Yo, why can't the hall master's apprentice even protect his dearest brother?" Ha ha. I saw that in the middle of the road, Li Yunlan led a few people to stand in a row, blocking the way.

A sharp gaze swept towards Li Yunlan and the others the moment they raised their heads, like enraged cheetahs. Before Li Yunlan could say anything, I saw Zhi Ning quickly put Shen Shiyi's weak body in Hongdou's arms, and there were several bangs in the air, except for Li Yunlan, who was still standing in place, several people who were not inferior to Zhi Ning had been knocked down by Zhi Ning on the side of the road.

Zhi Ning leaned over and put Shen Shiyi's injured and unconscious body on his body, and the two of them continued to walk in the direction where Li Yunlan was standing tremblingly. In the middle of the road, Li Yunlan, who seemed to have been pointed, unconsciously turned sideways and let the two pass.

Carrying Shen Shiyi into Shen Shiyi's hospital, he quickly closed the door, and the two of them laboriously carried Shen Shiyi to the big bunk, Zhi Ning looked down at the bare little finger on Shen Shiyi's left hand, and saw that the position of the white cloth was no longer oozing blood. Gently unbandaging and sprinkling the wound with white medicine, the unconscious young man only snorted a few words and fell into a deep sleep again.

Looking at the child next to him, who was only a little more than nine years old, and was still eating the beef he brought out the day before yesterday, Zhining felt as if he was caught by something. My heart was full of self-blame, if I had told Mushan in advance that day, today's things might not have been like this. A line of tears slid down his cheeks and dripped onto his sleeves. The low sobs in the room were mixed with Shen Shiyi's slight cry of pain.

After about a few hours, Zhi Ning settled down and gestured to the red bean: "You watch him here, I'll go find something to eat." ”

The red beans with the same red eyes hummed softly, but their eyes did not leave Shen Shiyi for a moment, and the young man who was talking about it on weekdays suddenly suffered from this ordeal. Ten fingers to the heart, what a pain. Tears also slipped down uncontrollably.

There was a soft knock behind him, and the door was gently shut.

The sound of the teenager exercising in the distance came one after another, high-pitched and passionate like never before.

Imperial capital, forbidden palace.

Inside the vermilion lacquer gate, a group of buildings stands tall among the thousands of forbidden army guards. The golden glazed tiles shine brightly in the sun. Although the palace has only been built for a few years, it is extremely royal.

In the Qianqing Palace:

Wearing a five-clawed golden dragon robe, the generation of British lords with a majestic face is already over the age of sixteen at this time. Xu is the court meeting that has just dispersed is a little tired, and at this time he is leaning on the edge of the table with half his body, staring at the table with half-squinted eyes, and a secret report from the cabinet a few months ago:

His Majesty started reading, and the previous year the division received a joint report from the state capitals that Fengyang Mansion, Luzhou Prefecture, Baoding Prefecture and Qingzhou Guangping Prefecture have officials and their immediate family members who have stayed away from their homeland in recent years and rushed to the land where their husband's family is poor. However, several relatives of the Bentou husband's family have not exchanged letters with their parents for several years, and all the letters sent to the question and answer have never returned. Only three taels of silver and one piece are sent back every year except for the second day: peace do not read the narrow strips. It's been a few years. At the beginning, all the state governments thought that it was an individual case, and they had sent local arresters to investigate for a long time, but there were no clues, and then the number of people reported by the state governments increased day by day, and nearly 100 people have disappeared.

Second, the case of the disappearance of children in the criminal slave workshop was reported by the directors of the criminal slave workshops in various places, especially in Yunnan and Guizhou, and dozens of bodies of suspected suicide children were found at the bottom of the river next to the Nanjing criminal slave workshop in March after the next year. These two cases have been very popular in the local people, and there have been no clues for several years. I respectfully ask Your Majesty to personally send Jinyi Wei to inspect the two cases.

Just finished the imperial tour, and only listened to the eunuch outside the palace Xuanjin. In an instant, the emperor on the dragon chair who had just looked tired was already solemn at this time. In a moment, a middle-aged man entered the temple and knelt on the mountain in front of the steps, shouting long live.

I saw a middle-aged man dressed in a bullfighting suit, with a straight upper body, but he didn't squint, looking down and looking down, waiting for the emperor to ask.

After being silent for a long time, the emperor said sternly: "How are the two cases that you are waiting for Jinyiwei to investigate?" ”

"Your Majesty," the middle-aged man replied with a fist: "The disappearance of the relatives of officials in various places and the disappearance of children in the slave workshop are all eyebrows, although it is not very clear, but after investigation, it is found that there are many similarities, one of them, most of the relatives of the officials are women and children, and before they defect to their relatives at home, they all receive letters from their relatives inviting them to go to Jiangsu and Zhejiang, but their relatives are mostly low-level generals in the army or military households who have joined the army, and the army they serve is different. The second is that the missing children in the sin slave workshop are all children under the age of 10 whose parents have died, and the corpses at the bottom of the river are unrecognizable, but they are the same as the clothes of the missing teenagers in the sin and slave houses. In addition, half a month ago, several adult female corpses were newly discovered in the dark well of the Nanjing Sin Slave Fang, and it is not yet clear who they are. ”

"Huh? How many more? The man who was half-kneeling on the dragon chair at this moment was surprised.

"It's Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Weichen has cooperated with the commander of Nanjing Jinyiwei to make Lord Li Nanjing garrison His Royal Highness King Zhao to check for half a month, and found that although the two cases occurred in different regions, there are many similarities in the facts of the cases, so I tried to investigate the two cases together, and the result was that the three cases were merged with the case of the supply ship on Chongming Island that was secretly reported by Lord Li a year ago. The details of it have been written on the secret decree, please preview it. As he spoke, he took out a document from his bosom and presented it to the eunuch beside him with both hands.

After the submission, I only heard the middle-aged man say again: "Half a month ago, according to the detailed biography that Master Li had planted on the island, the island has been occupied by the Dongying Japanese Invaders, but the defenders of our dynasty have not seen anyone, and it seems that they have been captured and killed. It was this subordinate who came back and asked for an order to send troops to exterminate the Japanese on the island. "That's it. Bow down and kneel on the ground.

The secret decree presented had been displayed on the table by the eunuch, and the emperor looked at it for a long time, and couldn't help sneering: "Seeing that after Li Wei, this Chongming Island is still not peaceful. ”

begged, and then passed down the decree: Jinyiwei commanded the prince of Saiha Zhimi Xuan and the cabinet Sanyang to enter the palace immediately, and Anyuan Marquis Liusheng prepared the war grain and grass and recruited the navy.

However, no news from the island had been received for several days.
