Chapter 319: One Shift
When King Duan arrived at the foot of Jinling Mountain, the sky was getting dark, but it couldn't darken King Duan's face. When Zheng Boding heard that Zheng Nianru had fallen into the water and his whereabouts were unknown, he had already lost his six gods, and his hands and feet trembled at this time, looking at the Diling River in front of him, which was getting darker and darker, his eyes darkened.
It happened that Lu Hu's own brother Lu An led people to find here, and when he saw a large number of people, he thought that the people who were supporting him had arrived, so he immediately ran over, and at the same time, His Royal Highness took people to inspect in person, and asked people to tell Wen Zan to send more people over.
"What are you still doing, what about the ignition equipment? Hurry up, along the Heiling River, find someone ......" Lu An was stunned for a moment, and immediately saluted Zheng Boding, who had just walked over.
"Duanwang—"
"What about your four highnesses?" King Duan didn't have time to listen to his ramblings, but when he saw that the Wen family was very serious about looking for people, he endured a little temper.
"King Duan, His Royal Highness took Lord Lu Hu in the first team, and his subordinates didn't know where they were at this time, and half an hour ago, His Royal Highness sent someone to the Wen family to call for reinforcements." Lu An immediately said that he listened to his eldest brother's words, and the relationship between this county lord and His Royal Highness was very good, so he was also very respectful to King Duan.
"Okay, let's go, these are the people brought by this king, you see how it is arranged." Seeing this, Zheng Boding knew that no matter how much reproach he said, it would be useless.
At least after the accident, Zheng Haoyuan's kid did okay.
The Diling River was originally a lake around Jinling Mountain, because of a rainstorm a few years ago, a landslide occurred on the entire west mountain of Jinling Mountain, and a part of the mountain slipped into the Diling River, so that part of the originally very open and flat Diling River became the inner river of Jinling Mountain.
Zheng Haoyuan led people, looking for the middle of the tributary, today the wind is not strong, but the location of the Diling River from high to low, the water flow is turbulent, Zheng Haoyuan's people in the place of the fall to find a circle of fruitless, guess, the most likely to flow into the tributary, is the middle one.
The guards who passed the news back and forth were finally met by King Duan, and directly asked him to take him to Zheng Haoyuan, the guard was stunned, but he did not delay, and directly led Duan Dynasty to the tributary in the middle.
When Zheng Songyuan arrived, he had already seen the faint torches along the Diling River, and the Wen family was in a hurry, and he only hurriedly saluted, and Yun Niang, who was waiting in place, saw Zheng Songyuan, as if she saw hope, and immediately rushed over.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, please save the county lord." Yun Niang cried, as soon as she arrived at this Linghe, Yun Niang's tears couldn't stop falling, two hours had passed, there was no news at all, their county lord ......
"Where's the county lord's stuff?" Zheng Songyuan was irritable and wanted to scold, did he only know how to cry at this time? Nianru is surrounded by some people, and there is no assertive person at all.
Yun Niang was asked to wake up, and then she remembered that she still had an important task, and immediately went to the carriage.
Zheng Songyuan snatched the shirt, and his Jin Qiyu wanted to take it, Zheng Songyuan had already personally sniffed and sniffed the hound, and then tightly dragged the silk handkerchief and coat in my hand.
His feather grabbed one of the hounds, and led the hounds to the river, which was originally a turbulent water in the spirit river, and the smell disappeared quickly, and when he saw it, he knew that there was little hope.
Zheng Songyuan didn't care, Yun Niang immediately followed, and her heart was settled.
"Your Highness, King Duan and the people of the Fourth Highness are mainly concentrated in that direction, and there are more than ten guards on the other two sides who are looking along the river, and there are more than a dozen people in the upper reaches who have already started the third search.
Zheng Junyuan didn't speak, his lips were tightly closed, and his gold immediately pointed to a tributary at the bottom.
"Your Highness, we are looking for a third tributary, which is the lowest terrain."
Zheng Songyuan nodded, the last possible second tributary has a large number of people, but several hours have passed, and there is no result, which means that something has gone wrong.
Qi Jin Qiyu immediately waved his hand, and several guards took half of the hounds to the second tributary, and the rest went to the remaining two tributaries in two groups.
The sky gradually darkened, and there was a faint dark thunder coming from afar, and his Jin Qiyu was very anxious, especially the river, the role of the hounds was really limited, but seeing that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had no intention of stopping, he could only hold back what he wanted to say and continue to look for it with people.
Duan Wang finally caught up with Zheng Haoyuan half an hour later, Zheng Haoyuan himself carried the hem of his robe, and did not need to be supported by Cang'er, walking in the front, the pair of brocade boots were already full of mud, the robe had already been thrown away, and the sleeves of the single shirt he was wearing were also rolled up to the crook of his arm, and his face was even more dirty, only the two lines washed by tears still showed his fair skin.
"Uncle Huang-" Zheng Haoyuan heard Lu Hu's words, and came directly to pick up the king, but before the person arrived, he knelt on the bank of the silt river.
"Uncle Huang, it's all nephews who are bad, it's all nephews who deserve to die-" Zheng Haoyuan really wanted to die, and his mind was full of thoughts that he had killed his cousin.
When Zheng Boding heard this, and then looked at Zheng Haoyuan's situation at this time, half of his anger disappeared first, although he was angry that Zheng Haoyuan brought Nianru out and something like this happened, but this accident was not caused by Zheng Haoyuan, but Zong Yunqian who fell together.
"Hurry up, find someone and talk about it-" Zheng Boding couldn't say anything else, he couldn't find Nianru, and he wouldn't forgive Zheng Haoyuan.
"Yes, yes-" Zheng Haoyuan wiped his tears, and his arm was also dirty, Zheng Haoyuan didn't care about it, and continued to walk forward. There are more and more torches.
"Uncle Huang, don't worry, the Lord Ben and Lord Chen who manage the river have been arrested by me, they said that the bottom of the river is silt, so my cousin has a good chance of surviving. But the river was fast, and it was very likely that the cousin had washed downstream. Zheng Haoyuan said as he helped Zheng Boding to continue looking in the direction of the downstream.
Along the way, the lights are faint, and it is getting longer and longer from the foot of Jinling Mountain.
……
Wen Ling's body was sent back on the third day, and everyone who was still loyal to the Wen family remembered the old days, and Wen Ling did not splash dirty water on others' bodies, and a group of colleagues did not want him to be able to settle down after his death, so Lu Hu quietly took the initiative and sent the body back.
Wen Gongliang has long since passed away, and his only son, Wen Yongzhi, is also a loyal and cowardly person, who has been submissive all his life, reflecting the fact that Wenfu does some miscellaneous things.
Wen Yongzhi had been waiting at home for two days, and he found a few good friends of Wen Ling on weekdays and didn't ask for any useful news, but his mother-in-law heard some news from the Wen family, saying that Wen Ling had entered the palace to meet His Royal Highness.
This mother-in-law was also a young lady from a down-and-out official household, with some strategies and good luck, and finally managed to find such an errand for her son, but in the end, she was at the bottom, and she didn't know whether Wen Ling's entry into the palace was a good thing or a bad thing. Since the last time Wen Ying was in Hexian Zhai, her eyelids have been jumping, and because her brother has not been seen for two days, she has always felt a little uneasy.
It's just that Wen Ying kept comforting herself, her brother is now a loyal member of the Wen family, and those people don't dare to touch her brother for the sake of the Wen family's face, besides, if she moves early, how can she still be at home.
And early on the morning of the third day, Wen Ling's body was lying in the courtyard of Wen Yongzhi's house on the edge of the entire street mansion of the Wen family, Wen Yongzhi had not had time to grieve, Wen Ling's mother howled, and suddenly fainted.
"Ladies and gentlemen, why are the people who went out well?" Wen Yongzhi cried and shouted, pulling the guards who had been with Wen Ling.
The guard couldn't bear it, after all, he was a colleague who had worked together, and he couldn't bear Wen Yongzhi to be too sad, so he took out a bag of silver taels and stuffed it into Wen Yongzhi's hand.
"Uncle, don't be too sad, Captain Wen...... Hey, bad luck......" The guard shook his head, this is indeed Captain Wen's fault in the first place, whether His Royal Highness is killing chickens and monkeys, or Wen Ling is unlucky, things have happened.
Wen Ying heard the movement and ran out, looking at the scene in front of her in amazement, how could her good brother suddenly die. Wen Ying's mind is full of the scene where her brother takes good care of her on weekdays, and those young ladies are willing to walk around with her more because they love their brother a little.
Wen Ying felt the ground shake, and faintly felt that it had happened too coincidentally, and after that incident, she suddenly threw herself on Wen Ling's corpse and cried.
"Hands, hands, where's one of my brother's hands?" Wen Ying immediately looked angrily at the several guards who had sent the corpses, and clenched Wen Ling's already stiff arm in anger, "What kind of heinous mistake did my brother make, he didn't even have a hand?" ”
When the guard heard what he was going to say, he couldn't bear to say anything more and prepared to leave.
Wen Yongzhi's mother-in-law woke up again, and the two rough mothers-in-law who sprinkled and washed immediately came to help people, and the mother-in-law came from a force out of nowhere and ran directly to Wen Ling's corpse.
"My son, who is so vicious and wants to kill you, I will go to the Wen family, I will go to the Wen family in person, what mistake did my son make to be treated like this."
When the guard heard this, he knew that this loyal man of the Wen family belonged to the Wen family, although the fourth highness was their current master, but behind it was still the foundation of the Wen family, and Mrs. Wen was the wife of Wen Kangye, so he immediately glanced at the mother-in-law.
"Aunt, Wen Ling has worked with us for so many years, and there are some things that we have to say now. Wen Ling's death is inseparable from the little sister, and she can't complain about others, if the aunt doesn't want to make a big deal, just ask the little sister what happened in Hexian Zhai that day. The guard said, leaving Wen Yongzhi's family of three stunned, and turned around and left directly with people.
Mother Wen immediately looked at Wen Ying, her eyes were vicious and she wanted to dig out the brains in Wen Ying's brain immediately, although the guard had something to say, but Mother Wen still heard it, the cause was Wen Ling's sister.
Mother Wen immediately remembered that when Wen Ying came back two days ago, her clothes seemed to be stained with oil, and she just wanted to ask, but was prevaricated by Wen Ling.
Mother Wen knew that her son was very partial to this sister, and her daughter was quite angry, so why didn't she know.
Mother Wen suddenly slapped Wen Ying's face, and Wen Ying was dizzy, her eyes were full of stars, and her brain slammed on the wooden board.
