The sound of hissing โโ, several sharp blades cutting their throats sounded, and in addition to the third child, the other five bandits were killed by the shadow guards with a sword cut throat. When they started, no one showed the slightest hesitation, as if they were not killing someone, but slaughtering a chicken and duck at will.
Immediately someone poured the medicinal powder on the corpse, which instantly turned into blood, and someone quickly washed it, and after a while, it regained its calm, as if those people had never existed.
The brother who was still pushing the cup and changing the cup with him before, just such a small half-day effort, the shocking changes were repeated, and in the blink of an eye, there were no bones left. These people are so ruthless, even more ruthless than their own thieves!
Such a scene, even in the eyes of the murderous third child, is not pleasant, especially this scene is about to be his turn, his eyes are full of fear: judging from the skillful cooperation between these people and the style of attack, they must be used to doing this kind of thing, so they are very familiar.
The young man in front of him, who looked as gentle as jade, turned out to be a Hades-like figure. The third Huo Ran turned his head, looked at Zhu Zhanji's expressionless face, and couldn't help but say in a trembling voice: "Don't, don't kill me...... I'll tell you ......."
Zhu Zhanji didn't pay attention to him, and said to Oyuntana with an understatement, "They treat you like that, none of them can live." โ
These individuals are ruthless, they even started from the children, and they also made foul language, making themselves almost unclothed, Oyuntana had long wanted their lives, but she didn't want to open her mouth yet, Zhu Zhanji did so, and he was clean and neat, leaving no trouble.
After the real battlefield battle, Oyuntana, who had seen the sea of blood at the tip of the knife, would not scream for this, she looked at Tengger sleeping in her arms, and gently picked up one of his small hands and kissed it, they dared to touch Tengger, and even the animals that refused to let go of the children were not a pity to die.
She smiled gratefully at Zhu Zhanji and did not speak. Aditya's move should have his opinion, and she can't entrap her feelings and make him embarrassed.
The third child took a few deep breaths and forced himself to calm down. He thought that since this young man did not let people seal his throat with a sword, it meant that he still had something to use, that is, there was still a chance to live.
He changed his face, raised his head to look at Zhu Zhanji, and changed from the previous threat to pleading, "Please son, for the sake of my boss's face, give me a way out." โ
"Your boss? Jiang Zhenhai? โ
The third shook his head and took a sip, "Phew", "Jiang Zhenhai is also worthy?" He's a real thief, and if I hadn't been of some use, how could I bow my head before him? It's just that it's convenient to follow him at the boss's orders. โ
He looked at Zhu Zhanji and said with a flattering smile: "Childe, the little one sees that you are quite a general, and you will have a bright future in the future, why don't you go with me to meet the boss of my family?" He is the uncle of King Zhao, that is, King Zhao, who also relies on him a lot, and everyone calls him the current Meng Weijun, and there are countless people under him. If you want to achieve something great, it is better to let the small one introduce you to him, I believe that with the skills of the people under the child, I will be able to fall in love with my boss and be familiar at first sight. โ
Zhu Zhanji heard that he was obviously begging for mercy, but in fact, he wanted to use the name of King Zhao's uncle to let him go, and a shallow sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth: King Zhao's uncle, there are countless people, it seems that this uncle of his still has no heart to die. This trip to move the capital actually got such news, which is really an unexpected gain.
He looked at Du Ziheng standing beside Xuanwu.
"The uncle he said about King Zhao, known as Meng Weijun, should be Shen Mengde, the elder brother of King Zhao's concubine Shen."
Du Ziheng is as fluent as an endorsement, "This Shen Mengde is the third son of the Shen family, and it is said that his biological mother is a kabuki, so he did not really marry into the Shen family's mansion, he and the Shen family are twin sons, and they are placed in the name of the Shen family's mother-in-law, as a concubine." That Shen Mengde does have some skills, the two real sons of the Shen family actually fell ill one after another when he was eleven years old, one lost his life due to diarrhea and dehydration, and the other was hit on the head by the falling tiles on the house, and he still hasn't woken ......up."
Later, Shen Mengde's sister met King Zhao by chance, and because of her outstanding appearance, she married into King Zhao's mansion as a side concubine. In the year when Shen Mengde and the crown, the old man Shen died, and the entire property of the Shen family fell into his hands, and now, the business of the Shen family is in his hands. โ
"Shen Mengde is a person who is forbearant and vicious, although the truth cannot be found out because of the interval between the events of the year for too long, but all the clues point to him, the two sons of the Shen family have an accident, and the old man Shen's acute illness, including his sister marrying into the palace, should be his handiwork."
After following Xuanwu to Yingwei, Xuanwu found that Du Ziheng had a very good memory, although he was not interested in the subset of scriptures and history, but Di reported those things, he could remember them at a glance, so he picked up some of the information passed by Suzaku and asked him to see, and when he asked about relevant things, he could answer casually.
"The poor illegitimate son back then, the third son of the Shen family...... Successor of the Shen family...... King Zhao's uncle, how did he collude with the bandits? โ
Zhu Zhanji frowned slightly, as if he felt that Shen Mengde was not as proud as the third child said, "He actually let his subordinates rob silver everywhere, and also forcibly occupied the women, planning to rob the women of the people, this method is inevitably too inferior, is he very short of silver recently?" Or are there too many diners under the door to afford it? โ
The Shen family was once one of the four famous families in Jiangnan. Jiangnan, where wealth is gathered, salt merchants, maritime merchants, silk merchants, and miners ...... There are countless rich people, among which the Shen family, the head of the four major families that has been in business for a long time, is not only rich enough to rival the country, but also has generations of in-laws, intertwined knots, and climbs with the royal family.
Even Emperor Taizu once asked Shen Wansan, who had borrowed money, the legend has a cornucopia of Shen Wansan, one-third of Nanjing City was built by Shen Wansan, who came from the Shen family, although he later distributed Yunnan, but the foundation of the Shen family is still there, the family is still prosperous, the tree has deep roots, and gradually flourishes again.
It stands to reason that it is impossible for Shen Mengde, who came out of such a family, to be short of silver, and there is no need to collude with the bandits, and he even sent one of his own to be a low man in front of Jiang Zhenhai.
This Shen Mengde's friendship is really extensive, and according to what this thief said before, King Zhao is still quite dependent, is it possible, he intends to do something that is inconvenient for King Zhao on the surface through the people on the rivers and lakes?
Because he was tied up, he could only barely kneel on the ground, and when he heard what Du Ziheng said, he was even more frightened in his heart, the identity of the illegitimate son of Shen Sangongzi was concealed by the Shen family, and few people knew that such a secret thing had been by his side for many years, and he had only heard a little bit about it, not to mention that he killed his brother and father back then, such a secret was casually said by these people in person.
It seems that he is indeed the person he is looking for.
Most of the bandits in this vicinity, led by Jiang Zhenhai, don't know that their real family has long been replaced by Shen Mengde, after the four major families in Jiangnan. And the rich businessmen related to the Shen family, those disciples under Shen Mengde didn't know that their sect master, King Zhao's brother-in-law, was secretly colluding with the bandits and doing some shady deeds.
Zhu Zhanji gently tapped the table with his index finger, thinking about the connection: because of the relocation of the capital, King Zhao, who used to sit in Beiping, felt that the opportunity had come, so he wanted to take this opportunity to add some chaos and make some things happen, so that everyone felt that his father was not destined to return, or made the emperor's grandfather suspect that his father was unwilling to move the capital, and slacked off on this matter......
Therefore, it is necessary for the bandits to fight with open fire, rob the past business travelers, and let the officials and families who come from the south to the north are afraid of the fierce folk customs in the north, so that the voices of the imperial court against moving the capital will rise again, and he will take advantage of the chaos to ask for war, suppress the bandits, and play a good show of thieves shouting to catch thieves, maybe they can also fish in troubled waters, and get greater benefits from it, and it is a good idea to end the land.
If I hadn't met Oyuntana by chance, I was afraid that I wouldn't have cared about such a thing.
"That Shen Sangongzi arranged for you to be by Jiang Zhenhai's side, so that one day, when the imperial court needs to suppress bandits, you can cooperate with the outside and open the mountain gate, right?"
It seemed to be asking him whether he was true or false, but the certainty in and out of his words was an unquestionable tone.
When the third child heard this, he was even more frightened, he looked at Zhu Zhanji, and felt more and more that this young man with a noble face was the person the master said, otherwise, how could he know so many things?
Listening to what he said, he figured out the joints in a blink of an eye, and even as if he heard their conversation in front of him and Shen Sangongzi-at this time, looking at this young man who didn't say much, his contempt disappeared, and he only felt that his body was frozen by the coldness in Zhu Zhanji's words, and he couldn't move.
At this moment, he has overturned his previous speculation and determined that Zhu Zhanji is not an ordinary prince of a famous family, he may be a prince in the capital, so even the guards around him are masters, and being able to know such secrets is even more likely to be his target......
Thinking of this, the third child begged bitterly: "Since the son knows everything, he naturally understands that the little one is obedient to orders, and the little one really only asked the lady for a reward to find someone before, and did not behave like them in general, and asked the son to leave a few leeways and let me live, and there will be heavy gifts to make amends in the future." โ
Zhu Zhanji looked at Oyuntana, "What he said is true, he really didn't do anything to you just now?" โ
Oyuntana thought back to the previous situation, among all the people, it was true that only this thief did not do anything to himself, he told himself, it was indeed just to ask himself to reward the silver to find Tengger, and when those individuals laughed, they also stood aside and did not squeak much, so they nodded.
The third child listened to their conversation, as if a glimmer of hope rose in his heart, seeing that Zhu Zhanji fell into contemplation again, he didn't speak for a long time, and couldn't help but ask cautiously, "Since the son is walking in this river and lake, the real thief has also been killed by you, why don't you let the little one go?" Have you not subsided your anger by killing them? โ
