Chapter 485: There Is No Human Nature to Speak of
Shadow stepped forward without a trace, pushed open the window above the grain bag and looked out, and said in a low voice: "This is not an ordinary family, it is estimated that this is where Zhan Zhan lives." ”
After hearing that there was no trace of the killing, he also went over to take a look curiously, and looked at the sight of the shadow, there was a courtyard outside, and the furnishings in the courtyard did not look like ordinary people would have, and there were constantly guards wearing armor coming and going to patrol, and it was not a treatment that ordinary people could have. It is likely that they stumbled into the place where Zhan lived by mistake.
"What are you going to do if Zhan Zhan is really here?" Disappearing from the side, he turned his face sideways and asked after the killing.
Wan Kill smiled slightly and said, "Isn't that better?" We just happened to spy on the military. ”
Shadow nodded without a trace. The two stared at the situation outside, and saw that the frequency of the patrolling guards was gradually decreasing, and it was estimated that they were about to change shifts. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Shadow and Kill secretly left the grain depot and went to the place where the guards were most dense. If Zhan was really here, he would definitely find a lot of people to protect him.
This is not a palace, and the scale is similar to the courtyard of a second-class minister, so the two of them soon found a place similar to a study, the light in the room was still on, and there were two people's shadows in the window.
The two of them were thinking about sneaking over to eavesdrop on what they were saying, when they suddenly saw the door of the room open, and Di Zhan personally sent out a middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties.
After sending the middle-aged man away, he went back again.
Wan Kill looked at the back of the person who left, frowned slightly and thought for a while, and suddenly whispered to the shadow: "The person who left just now looks a little familiar, I'll follow him and ask about the situation, you pay attention to Zhan's actions here." ”
Disappearing from a trace, he answered without a trace, and after finishing the killing, he followed the man who had just walked out.
After the man left the mansion, he got into the sedan chair, and now he was not far from the territory of Zhan, and he did not dare to make a rash move, so he followed the man back to his own house, and when the man arrived home, he washed up and turned off the lights and went to sleep.
At this time, Wan Kill had already remembered who that person was.
He waited for nearly half an hour, and saw that everyone in the house was gradually falling into difficulty, and then quietly slipped into the room. He walked to the man's bed by the moonlight, suddenly took out a dagger and put it against the man's neck, and said in a deep voice: "Don't speak, otherwise my knife will fall." ”
The man's eyes snapped open, and although there was moonlight outside, he still couldn't see the face of the killer in the shadows. He tried his best to keep his composure, and asked, "Who are you?" Why kill me? ”
"I didn't want to kill you, and you don't need to know who I am, I just wanted to ask you something." The end of the kill hooked the corners of his mouth. This person used to be a third-grade official, and when Qingdi pretended to be the queen mother and listened to the government, he was exiled to the field because of his opinion and Qingdi's left. Wan Kill also saw him with Qingdi at the beginning, so he had some impressions.
The man rolled his eyes and asked nervously, "What are you going to ask?" ”
"You are in this city, with Zhu Zhan, Feng Lingchen and Chu Yaocen are enemies, then let me ask you, do you know what the true identity of Zhu Zhan is?"
"How can you call Xiangye by his first name?!" The man was startled, and looked very scared to refute Zhan.
"Xiangye? Haha, he really likes to be prime minister. After the killing, he couldn't help but sneer, indeed, before refuting Zhan, he also wanted to model Cao Cao, coerce the princes of the Son of Heaven, and regard himself as the prime minister. However, it is too far worse than Cao Cao.
After hearing this, the man hurriedly asked, "You said that Xiangye likes to be the prime minister...... So, you already know the true identity of Jie Zhan? ”
"Isn't he Feng Boyang who was going to die many years ago? I didn't expect him to practice martial arts diligently and become an invincible general. He said without cutting down.
"It's not like this, the Prime Minister is the one who inherited the will of the Taizu and wants to assist His Majesty, it is really because the Prime Minister has the possession of the Taizu, so he will be invincible, otherwise a normal person, no matter how diligent and hard he is, how can he be superior in force in a short period of time? Feng Ling knows that Chu Yaocen and his ilk are crooked ways, I advise you to also find a surrender and fall under the prime minister, I can also protect you from death. ”
"Shut up, idiot." Wan Kill didn't want to hear such stupid remarks, so he slapped him and said coldly: "I don't want to talk nonsense with you anymore, you tell me, what did you say to Zhan Zhan tonight?" ”
The man snorted, as if reluctant to speak.
After killing heard this soft snort, the knife stabbed directly into his neck, the man felt that his neck was cold at first, and then something hot flowed down, and after a while he felt pain, he suddenly became scared, and hurriedly said: "Shaoxia spare your life, Shaoxia don't kill me...... I said, I'll tell you everything......"
Now it's just a little bit of skin, if you continue to use your strength after killing, then this person will definitely die.
The man was stunned and said, "Can the young man bandage my wound first?" After all, it's the neck that hurts, not somewhere else, I'm afraid that if I don't bandage it, I'll die in a while......"
"If you talk nonsense, I'll let you die now! Hurry up and tell me all the bad ideas you have discussed with Zhan! ”
The man was startled, and didn't dare to continue begging for anything, so he hurriedly said: "Since the young man knows the identity of the prime minister, he should know something about me." I used to be an official in the capital, but then I was killed by the demon queen and relegated to here, where I am diligent in government and love the people, and the people support me very much. Later, the Prime Minister brought His Majesty over, and we wanted to purge the traitors and rebels around His Majesty, but a few days ago, His Majesty was rescued by Feng Lingchen and others...... Hey, Feng Lingchen is the prime minister's biological son, I really don't know why he would do such a thing. ”
Finish killing is a little speechless...... Do these people have to find so many reasons and excuses for themselves to do something, and they have to reverse right and wrong.
"Tonight, the Prime Minister is looking for me, because our spies suddenly came out with news and found the whereabouts of the traitor Chu Yaocen's wife, Qingdi......"
"What?" Wan Kill immediately interrupted him, twisted his collar and asked, "What did you say?" ”
The man's heart was about to fall out in fright, and he stammered: "The whereabouts of Qingdi, the wife of the traitor Chu Yaocen...... Qingdi is also the prime minister's daughter......"
"She's not dead?"
The man swallowed a mouthful of spit, nodded and said, "It's not dead, I fled to southern Xinjiang with an old man, and I was caught by our spies, and I will soon send it back to threaten Chu Yaocen." ”
How could it be that he didn't die? After careful inspection at the beginning of the killing, it was indeed a cold corpse...... By the way, this person said that with an old man, could it be that Hei Dafu brought Qingdi back to life?
Right! It must have come back to life.
I don't know how to describe my current mood after the killing...... Great, Madame is not dead! The second master will be very happy to hear it, Feng Ling, and Yu'er will be very happy when he knows it! And soon Madame will be back!
No, we have to let Chu Yaocen know about this as soon as possible, and we have to rescue Qingdi earlier. He didn't even take this opportunity to ask more information about the person in front of him who was greedy for life and afraid of death, and directly raised the knife in his hand, and the man was already in a different place without making any sound, and then returned to the place where he was separated from the shadow just now, and told the shadow what he had just found out.
On this day, I first heard that Qingdi was dead, and now I heard that he was not dead, and his mood fluctuated, but fortunately, he quickly calmed down, and immediately went out through the secret passage where they came in, and told Chu Yaocen the news, and he continued to stay here, trying to force Zhan out.
After a traceless investigation, I finally felt that the easiest and most convenient way to kill Zhan Zhan directly from the inside without covering the people was to start with the grain in the grain depot, and the grain here should be prepared by Zhan Zhan for himself, and would not be distributed to the people. Doing things here will definitely not hurt the innocent.
Disappearing from the shadows, he took out the things around him, saw that there were things that could be used, and after arranging them, he also left the secret passage.
The way to disappear is very simple, that is, to put something in the grain depot that can attract snakes, insects, rats and ants, sure enough, soon the movement in the grain depot was so loud that it disturbed the guards who patrolled, they came in to take a look, and saw snakes, insects, rats and ants everywhere, crawling around, very terrifying, and the guards quickly reported to Zhan.
Seeing the current situation, Zhan frowned, thinking that it was probably Chu Yaocen's people who had mixed in, manipulating his grain and grass, and trying to force him out.
Early the next morning, others came to report that the adult had died in the mansion after leaving here last night, and his body was particularly miserable.
He smiled coldly, he really didn't expect to be exploited by Chu Yaocen. Didn't Chu Yaocen just want to force him out? He couldn't get out.
Di Zhan glanced at the rice bag full of rats patting around, was silent for a long time, and said, "Aren't the people in the city complaining that I don't let them out of the city? Didn't you scream that you were going to starve to death if you ran out of rice? Then give all my private food to the people, and release it tomorrow. ”
Hearing this order, the people around him were stunned for a moment and reminded: "Prime Minister, these grains have been bitten by rats, I don't know if these rats are clean or not, and if they will be sick......
"Nothing is unclean when cooked. If you want to go, you will go. Zhan Zhan glanced at the man coldly, and the man didn't dare to say more. I can only think in my heart, let my family not come to receive this food after I go back.
On the second day, he sent people to put up a notice to appease the people in the city, telling them to hold on a little longer, and those who were short of food at home could come to his house to get food first.
This city has been besieged for so long, even if there is a lot of surplus food at home, it is overstretched, and now that I heard that Di Zhan was going to distribute food, half of the people in the city ran over and took a small bag of grain home.
In addition to this matter, after discussing with himself about taking back Qingdi that night, the minister was killed in his own home, and maybe this matter was also known to Chu Yaocen and others. Therefore, he can also send people over quickly, and he must not let Qingdi fall into their hands.
This is his last hope for a comeback.
