Zhang Jiakui once said that the elderly scouts had some extreme suicide techniques under special circumstances. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 You can deliberately bite out the sharp corners of the bones in the meat dish with your teeth while eating, and then swallow the bones horizontally. The ends of the sharp, hard pieces of bone can cut the throat and cause inflammation inside the body. Of course, this kind of suicide is extremely painful. Not only do you have to endure torture for a long time, but the swollen and purulent throat will also attract the attention of the guards. Unless you're lucky enough to swallow a bone in your abdomen, you just happen to cut open your stomach and cause a perforation. In this way, the time to death is greatly shortened, and there is no need to suffer more.

There is another way, which is the legendary suicide by chewing the tongue. Zhang Jiakui scoffed at this. He has done experiments on others, and he has long proved that there is no basis for this claim. Not to mention that it takes a lot of courage to bite off your tongue, even if you cut your tongue alive with a knife, you can't kill anyone.

Since it has fallen into the hands of the Yang family, it shows that they already have an understanding of the truth of the matter. The blind old woman by the Ningshui Bridge was an exception, and Zhang Jiakui didn't expect that she would be on the hands of an old woman who was powerless.

There is another way.

It's about being honest and telling you everything you know.

Zhang Jiakui smiled bitterly and shook his head. If I could, I would have done it before, and I wouldn't have to suffer from the mutilated flesh and skin of my arm. After all, the owner treats himself well. What's more, he still holds his own lifeline in his hands.

Yang Dashan appeared in front of Zhang Jiakui again. This time, he was not alone, but also brought a teenager who looked to be eleven or twelve years old.

Zhang Jiakui's tired eyes suddenly opened, and his pupils suddenly constricted. He couldn't help but want to pounce, but he was firmly held by the chain that tied his body, and dragged it to make a "sparse" sound.

Zhang Dashan looked at him expressionlessly, and said lightly: "You didn't tell the truth. ”

Zhang Jiakui suddenly cried and begged: "Let him go." I beg you to spare him. He's just a kid, he's ...... He doesn't know anything, he doesn't understand anything. ”

The gray-clothed man walked in quietly and stood silently behind Yang Dashan. As if, he was not a living person at all, but a ghost stalking in the dark.

"That's right. He doesn't understand, you know!"

Yang Dashan straightened his chest, and his deep voice echoed in the narrow room: "I gave you a chance, but you didn't believe what I said, and even thought that Lao Tzu was farting when he spoke." ”

Zhang Jiakui howled reflexively, and denied it repeatedly: "No! I don't!"

Yang Dashan dragged the young man over, he was also tied by ropes, and a thick hemp rope was tied around his mouth. Both eyes were filled with fear, and a helpless "whine" sound came from his mouth.

"What does Li Shengjie have to do with this matter?"

Yang Dashan's low roar sounded like the devil roaring: "The Qingling Jade Liquid was originally brewed by the unique secret method of my family's Hou Ye. You're good. I don't want to spend money on it, I want to use all kinds of vile and dirty methods to get things away. Why, do you think that Hou Ye is far away in Anzhou, and he can't do anything about things here? Don't forget, my Hou Ye is not an ordinary person. There are still us old people in the Yang Mansion. Decades ago, the old man, like you, was on duty in the border army. Still under the command of the hussar general. You made rebellion in various state capitals at the same time and killed more than a dozen people in our Yang Mansion. This account. It's not something that can be solved with a few words of apology or compensation. Blood feuds must be repaid with blood. That's right. I think you get the idea. ”

As he spoke, Yang Dashan took out a knife from his back waist and slashed it at the young man's right arm. Suddenly, the blood flowed profusely, and there was immediately a severed arm on the ground.

Screaming!

Cry!

The boy is the son of Zhang Jiakui. It's just that the boy doesn't know that the man who is chained to the wall is his own father. I've never seen it before.

Zhang Jiakui is very cautious in doing things. After visiting the Lord's house in his early years, he understood that everything the Lord's family wanted him to do was a headless thing. People always have to think about themselves. Although the lord gave him a generous salary, and every time he finished doing something, he would give a large reward, but Zhang Jiakui knew it. There is always a day when you may fall into the hands of your opponent at any time. Of course, if you're lucky, you might be able to live to retirement. But no matter what, the Zhang family's bloodline can't be cut off here.

As long as you have money, it is actually very simple to find a woman to have a son. Zhang Jiakui's approach, like many prodigals, found a young woman in the hook fence, and after sleeping all night, he found the bustard to redeem the woman. This kind of good thing is usually rarely encountered in the tick bar. Of course, the woman will be grateful to Zhang Jiakui, and feel that this person is her eternal husband in this life. Zhang Jiakui bought a house in another state and county for women to live in, making it clear that he belonged to the kind of man who was away all the year round. Of course, this combination is not much love, at most it is to make the woman pregnant, and then leave a large sum of money and leave quietly.

Looking at the young man who was lying crooked by the wall, Zhang Jiakui felt that he was about to go crazy. Back then, when I bought the woman in the hook bar, I did it by myself from beginning to end. In order to hide, Zhang Jiakui deliberately chose a state and county away from the downtown area. I thought that things were done secretly, but I didn't expect it to be turned over by the people of the Yang Mansion.

"If you don't want anyone to know, you can't do it unless you do. ”

Yang Dashan waved his hand and motioned to the gray-clothed man standing next to him to stop the bleeding for the young man, put away his saber, and said lightly: "This matter is not as simple as you think. If you cover up for the Lord, then you are dead in vain. If you are honest and explain things clearly, your son can survive. If there is a half-truth, what he has done to you before, he will do it again to your son. ”

As he spoke, Yang Dashan bowed his mouth to the man in gray, and the man in gray also raised his head at this time and showed a meaningful smile at Zhang Jiakui.

The rope in Zhang Jiakui's mind that held the last together broke. With red eyes and a gasp, he asked, "Is that true?"

Yang Dashan glanced at him, sneered and said, "Do you have any other choice than believing me?"

Zhang Jiakui was still a little worried: "What you said just now is true?"

"Of course it's true. ”

Yang Dashan was very uncomfortable with this feeling of being forced to speak by Zhang Jiakui, and responded angrily: "You are not qualified to bargain with me. Don't think that you can't do anything without you. Since we can find out that Li Shengjie has nothing to do with this matter, we can naturally trace the real mastermind behind the matter from others. As for you, when you are dying, you have to help others cover up your disguise. I really don't know if I should say you're stupid, or if you don't think it's worth it?"

Zhang Jiakui stopped talking. fell silent. After a long time, he slowly raised his head, and a sad smile appeared in the depths of his eyes.

......

The Northland grasslands, blue and green, make up the heavens and the earth. No matter which direction you look, it's the same thing. Even the horizon in the distance is hidden in the deepest part of the two colors.

A caravan of horse-drawn carriages slowly moved along the steppe.

The size of the caravan was huge. There are hundreds of escorts alone. The vehicles and horses were divided into two rows, parallel to each other.

An old man with very good legs and feet walked beside the carriage, glancing at the convoy a few meters away from time to time, and his tightly wrinkled forehead was full of worry.

This is not actually one caravan, but two caravans that meet by chance on the road. The old man's caravan was small, with only five carts and a dozen horses in total. Last night when I was resting in a sheltered place under the hill. Met the caravan coming from the south on the other side. They were the real wealthy merchants, with as many as 100 cars, majestic horses, and armed guards equipped with strong bows and crossbows, armor, knives and guns.

People who traveled on the trade route would carry a knife on their body to defend themselves. However, such a large caravan with special guards has only been seen a few times by the old man in a fairly large merchant family. Those people are good hands. It is a boxer with a solid foundation in martial arts, or a veteran. Compared with. The caravan on his side is not even a fraction of what others have.

All the carts of this large caravan were planted with pennants. There is a striking "Zhang" character on it.

The Zhang family is a well-known wealthy businessman in Zhao State. Among the large commercial houses that dominate the world, there is the name of the Zhang family. The business is done, and the fame is naturally loud. Having money means being able to have a more powerful armed force. Sticking a flag on the car is no different from a dart game. Bandits and bandits are not fools. It will only attack past merchants who are weaker than themselves. Seeing from afar the banner that must not be provoked, it must be how far and how far it must go, drooling and letting these guys who he can't afford to provoke leave.

The leader of the Zhang family's caravan was a middle-aged man in his forties. In line with the idea that more is better than less, the old man took the initiative to give up the best sheltered position under the hill. Originally, he wanted to bring his caravan and find another camp nearby. Unexpectedly, the middle-aged team leader of Zhangjia Commercial Bank sent someone over and asked a young man from his side to come over.

The guards of the Zhang family are very domineering, and they are also very impatient when they speak, and it is straightforward to say that our master has taken a fancy to the white-faced boy in your team. If you know each other, hurry with me. Otherwise, it will anger my master, and no one can say what will happen in this barren mountain and wilderness.

The young man was a distant nephew of the old man. He has clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and has a gentle temperament. There are many men in this world who look like women, but that doesn't mean they're real women. I don't know exactly when there was a practice of men liking men, but the vast majority of people can't accept it. The old man's distant nephew was no exception.

There are no shops in front of the village here, and in the wilderness, there are naturally no women to entertain. The team leader of the Zhang family said that he had taken a fancy to it, so there was absolutely no room for negotiation. It feels terrible to be put a knife on the neck, but there is no way to resist. In addition to sending people over honestly, the old man had no way at all.

What happened last night, the old man could know if he thought about it. The young man came back early in the morning. With no clothes on, the whole person was depressed, hiding alone beside the wheels of the carriage and sobbing quietly. The old man could not be persuaded so he could only put a coat on his shoulders, shook his head and sighed and turned away.

The caravan left early, and the old man was bent on avoiding the ranks of the Zhang family firm. However, by noon, the Zhang family caravan had already caught up. Judging from the direction, it should be heading to Suihua City on the Northland grassland.

The guard from last night came again, loud and rough. He put a few silver tickets in front of the old man, and the smile on his face was very evil: "My lord has taken a fancy to your son-in-law and wants to hire him to be a bookkeeper." This kind of thing will not make you suffer, one hundred taels of silver a year, three hundred taels for three years. Tell him to pack up and follow me. ”

The old man's face suddenly turned pale. He didn't reach for the silver ticket. His lips and body trembled: "I still hope that Master Zhang will raise his noble hand, my nephew is young and ignorant, how can he do the accounting office? ”

The guard was not interested in talking to the old man, and his expression suddenly became hideous: "Old bastard, I dare not listen to my master's words, are you impatient? That's his blessing. Who doesn't know the name of our Zhangjia firm in the world? Who doesn't know? This trip to Suihua City, the lord is kind to let you follow, and the selling price of the goods will increase a little at that time. Is it good, you ****** simply lived a handful of years in vain, and let the dog eat all your knowledge?"

As he spoke, the guard drew his cold-shining saber, shook it in front of the old man, and threatened: "If you know each other, hurry up and take the silver ticket and let Lao Tzu take the person away." Otherwise......"

Before he finished speaking, he heard a sharp whistling in the air. Then, with a "whoosh", a feathered arrow came from the southwest, piercing the head of the fierce guard. His expression instantly froze on his face, and the knife in his hand fell to the ground with a "bang", and with disbelief and dazedness, he fell heavily to the ground.

The triangular arrow pierced through the skull, and blood and brains hung at the end of the arrow, which was shocking.

The caravan suddenly exclaimed in a panic: "Horse thief!

"Take the knife!"

"Every man keeps his place. Don't mess around. ”

In the distance, on the horizon, a thin black line appeared. Gradually. The black lines became thicker, revealing hundreds of figures. All of them were fierce knights, and black clothes were the uniform attire on their bodies. They surrounded from three directions and trapped the caravan in it.

There is no escape. The horse farm is full of goods, and the speed is slow, and the horse thief can't outrun it.

The old man grabbed the dagger that was placed on the car. With his back to the carriage, his face was full of fear and despair.

There is never a reason to talk about with horse thieves. They are vultures on the grassland, and they specialize in picking up passing merchants. After the horse thieves were captured, no caravan was spared, and there were no living people. Nor will there be a single bit of cargo left behind.

The old man thought it was a little strange: he had traveled this trade route for decades, and he had never heard of any horse thieves. Moreover, these people seem to have suddenly emerged from the ground. You must know that this place is not far from Suihua City, if the police are called in time, the army over there in Suihua will arrive in an instant. The horse thieves chose to attack here, could they all be crazy?

From time to time, feathered arrows flew through the air, and each feathered arrow was shot with great precision. Either into someone's chest, or directly through the neck or skull. If a person is rich or poor, he can judge by the way he dresses. The same is true for weapons. The nomadic tribes of the steppe did not have many iron tools, and there was no forging steel at all. The arrows fired by these horse thieves were all triangular arrows made of stainless steel, and the shafts were made of the same metal. This kind of arrow has great lethality, far exceeding the ordinary feather arrows made of reed rods and triangular iron arrows.

The old man saw that the head of the leader of the Zhang family firm had been cut off. These horse thieves are masked with black cloths, and they are skilled in swordsmanship, and their skills in controlling their horses are very exquisite. Even herders who grew up on horseback may not be able to do better than them. Hundreds of horseback thieves crossed the caravan's defense line in an instant, killing the armed guards on the spot. The horse thieves who rushed in cooperated with the horse thieves who roamed around the perimeter. One picks up a knife and slashes nearby, while the other wanders in the distance to find a suitable target. It was just a stick of incense before and after, and the entire Zhang family caravan was killed cleanly.

Without warning, without any words, the horse thief came like a sudden wind, and left like a raging air that swept the heavens and the earth. The dead bodies that came out everywhere were only a dozen or so people left in the caravan where the old man was.

The young nephew came over in fear and asked uncertainly, "Sixth Uncle, who are those people...... What the hell are they trying to do?"

The old man wiped his face with the palm of his hand, looked at the corpses everywhere and muttered: "It should be the enemy of the Zhang family firm." They provoked the wrong people. Yes, it must be so. ”

Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain that those horse thieves destroyed the Zhang family trading house, but they ignored the caravan that was traveling with them on their side.

The survivors emerged from their hiding places and watched in amazement. In a moment, they had begun to rummage through the dead man's belongings, and from time to time they let out cheerful and surprised cries.

"No, don't take it! put it down!"

The old man ran to one of the nearest attendants, snatched a piece of silver ingot that he had just found from the dead man, threw it away, and shouted, "If you don't want to die, get into your carriage and leave this place as soon as possible." ”

The attendant was very unhappy and did not understand the old man's words: "Why?"

"You think those horse thieves are going to throw things here for nothing for us to pick up?"

The old man widened his eyes, pulled the ears of the attendant, twisted his head to the south, pointed to the black line on the horizon that had not yet dispersed, and roared repeatedly: "People are merciful, let us live." These people are here for the Zhang family firm, they don't want to expose their whereabouts, and they also give us a chance to escape. Hurry up, get out of here!" (To be continued.) )
