Chapter Twenty-Six: Death
Among the criminals who were escorted out of the prison by the Praetorian Guards, Qin Shu glanced at Li Meng.
Li Meng replied to his gesture, unknowingly took the place of a corrupt official, and followed the large team out of the prison.
It's not too easy to get out, Qin Shu has made a good excuse for his subordinate - this corrupt official who has made meritorious contributions to his crimes, was overjoyed after being released from prison again, and died of eating beef and liquor.
Death is death of swelling, although it sounds a little unbelievable, but it is a good excuse, and there is really a celebrity in the world of Qin Shu who died of swelling, that is, Du Fu, who was used by Qin Shu for poetry. It is recorded in the "New Tang Dynasty Book": "In the Great Calendar, out of Qutang, down to Jiangling, Suyuan, Hunan to climb Hengshan, because of Leiyang. You Yue Temple, the big water is coming, you can't eat for ten years, and the county order has a boat to welcome it, but you have to pay it back. Ordered to taste the cow to burn the liquor, drunk, a past (night) death, fifty-nine years old. ”
In short, Du Fu was old and frail in his later years, and he was so poor that even eating became a problem, so the local parents and officials immediately carried out a loving rescue operation, first rescued Du Fu from the flood, and then sent someone to send him fragrant roast beef and a jar of liquor to him who was hungry. Nie Xianling has an understanding of the food preferences of the poet saint Du Fu, so he can do what he likes - drinking wine and eating meat is indeed a major hobby of the poet saint in his life.
As the saying goes, hunger is not a choice of food, let alone food and wine. Du Fu, who was about to go crazy with hunger, immediately had a binge meal, and his long-term hidden appetite was satisfied, but the terrible danger also crept in. Sure enough, his digestive system could not bear such a sudden load, and after collapsing that night, he never got back up. He was killed by wine and meat, and was known as "Leiyang" in history.
"Your Excellency has been in the prison for a long time, and it is time for dinner...... Why don't I treat you today, take you to a nearby restaurant first, have a full meal, and then go to your life. As he spoke, Qin Shu looked at the neatly arranged Praetorian Guards again, "It's better for everyone to come together." ”
"That's right." Commander Feng, the little head of the Praetorian Guard, nodded very approvingly, and patted Qin Shu's shoulder very enthusiastically, "Young Master Qin, you're polite, how can you break the bank?" ”
"I'll do it anyway."
After a lot of pushing and shoving, a large group of people contracted several nearby restaurants, which scared the shopkeeper and the shopkeeper a lot.
The corrupt officials, who had not eaten a few full meals in the prison, had no resistance in the face of the food, and began to eat and drink nonsense, while Qin Shu, who was drinking with Commander Feng at the small table on the side, looked at this scene and showed a smile of unknown meaning.
Soon, someone fell.
"What's going on?"
Commander Feng, who was drinking, was stunned for a while, put down his wine glass and stood up.
"Oh no, Lord Commander, the criminal Zhu Qinzhong is out of luck." A guard, with a frightened face, stepped forward to reply to Commander Feng.
Then, more and more people fell, and the remaining corrupt officials who were still eating and drinking were shocked into a cold sweat and stopped chopsticks and wine glasses.
Commander Feng looked at the fallen person in the restaurant without tears, walked back and forth twice, and then looked at Qin Shu with an anxious face: "Master Qin, what should I do, this is ...... What a mess for me! ”
"Write down the situation, report it truthfully, and file it with the Criminal Department for them to investigate...... I will go to my father and say it in person, I think my father and the emperor will forgive you for leading you. Qin Shu comforted.
"I hope so." Commander Feng breathed a sigh of relief, his heart was a little uneasy, and then he looked at Qin Shu with a grateful face, and thanked him, "Then thank you Qin Gongzi, Lord Zuo Xiang's side, I will trouble you...... Qin Gongzi is a good person, he is righteous enough, your friend and I Feng Youde have made a deal! ”
As he spoke, the straightforward Commander Feng laughed twice, and put his arm around Qin Shu's shoulders as if he was a good brother.
Qin Shu, the culprit who was issued a good person card by the rough masters: "......"
In one meal, among the hundreds of corrupt officials, more than 10 or 20 people with poor physical fitness died of starvation, and Li Meng also took the medicine of fake death, pretending to be out of breath and collapsed.
Because the corpses involved in the case were all corrupt officials in some prisons, not important figures, and the case was very simple, the reason was that people were embarrassed to die, and the case was quickly filed.
The fresh corpses were carried to mass graves and thrown away the next day.
Qin Shu's subordinates, under Qin Shu's orders, had been waiting in the mass grave for a long time, found the "body" of Limeng, and then carried it back at night.
The wind and the moon are waning, the night is dark and the wind is high, a strange fragrance wafts by, and the maids and others in the small courtyard of Qin Shu have suffered again.
When the maids of the night vigil fell to the ground, there were several more men in Qin Shu's room dressed in black power suits and wearing black scarves, and these people with strong martial arts were Qin Shu's subordinates.
"Master, I'm here from Meng." Li Meng half knelt on the ground, clenched his fists and bowed his head to Qin Shu.
"Tomorrow, Qin Liang, the left minister of the Apocalypse, will pick a little girl and a scholar for me, you and Liyue will temporarily hand over the matter to Limo and Lichu, and find a way to sneak into the Qin Mansion and come to me."
"Yes."
"It's hard work, let's go rest first."
"The subordinates are not hard." Li Meng was a little moved, "Yes, master." ”
Waiting for Limeng to leave, Qin Shu looked at Limo, who wanted to speak and stopped, and understood that there was any bad news: "If there is anything, just say it...... Let's hope things don't get too tricky. ”
"Master, the Emperor of the Apocalypse will celebrate his fiftieth birthday on the sixth day of the first month of the next month...... The second prince will serve as the messenger of Jing'an, and come to the capital of the Apocalypse to congratulate the Emperor of the Apocalypse on his birthday, and discuss the war by the way. Leaving Mo lowered his head.
Qin Shu frowned slightly, it was really not good news.
The second prince that Li Mo refers to is, of course, Qin Hao, the second prince of Jing'an, his nominal elder brother. Judging from the plot and the news he gets, the villain Qin Shu and the second prince have been very good since childhood...... In other words, Qin Hao should be very familiar with Qin Shu's appearance, preferences, and temperament.
The villain Qin Shu left Jing'an at the age of ten and came to Tianqi to work as a proton. At that time, he was young, and after six years, a person has still changed a lot, so even Jun Qian, who had seen Qin Shu when he was ten years old, did not recognize Qin Shu as the proton after six years.
However, Qin Hao is different, no matter how much a person changes, his relatives who have been familiar with him for ten years can still recognize him.
And the most important thing is that at the birthday banquet of the 50th birthday of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, the prince of Jing'an came to congratulate him as a messenger, and the proton of Qin Shu must also attend.
At that time, it would be impossible to let the stand-in in the Proton Mansion go, and it would be easy for Qin Hao to identify and debunk it...... But it is impossible for him to personally attend the birthday banquet as a proton Qin Shu, Jun Qian recognizes him.
Because of the relationship between the two countries, Qin Shu is going to attend the birthday banquet, and with his current status, the fifth son of Zuo Xiang will most likely be dragged to the birthday banquet.
Is he going to split himself in half?
The doppelganger lacks skills, and it's really ...... It's a headache.
