Chapter 023: The Bloody Case of Destroying the Village Twenty Years Ago
Scar Lao Liu carried a pot of vegetables and sent it to Jiang Gaoyi's prison.
It's a special treat.
"Eat! If you can go out in the future, don't say that Lao Tzu abuses you! β
Scar Lao Liu tried to squeeze out a kind smile and beckoned to Jiang Gaoyi.
Jiang Gaoyi curled up in the corner, crawling quickly towards the fragrant meal.
When Master Jiang looked up, he saw Scar Lao Liu's smile hideous, and his heart trembled. Looking down again, there were fish and meat, soup and cakes in that pot of food, which could be called sumptuous, a few points more abundant than a few days ago, and in the next second, Lord Jiang couldn't help but burst into tears, and felt sad: "Isn't this the old man's decapitated rice?" The old man is wronged! It's wronged! The old man wants to avenge his grievances! The old man wants to avenge his grievances! β
"Break a hammer!" Scar Lao Liu scolded with a smile: "Don't worry, Lord Gao, the boss has forgotten you here, your head is steady." β
"That'...... Thank you, Sixth Master. Jiang Gaoyi's expression was complicated, and he ate it.
"You should thank Master Zheng."
Scar Lao Liu pointed to Master Zheng in the next prison, approached by the way, and asked Master Zheng if he needed room service with a smile.
Erniang just left.
Mr. Zheng is hanging up.
Hearing that Scar Lao Liu pushed this meager credit on himself, Master Zheng just smiled and didn't take advantage of it.
While eating, Jiang Gaoyi paused, looked at the leftovers on the plate in a daze, and thought to himself that he could only leave this ghost place in the year of the monkey.
Scar Lao Liu's voice "You should thank Master Zheng" is like a spell around the beam, lingering in the ears, buzzing and echoing.
"Master Hou, are you exploring the 'White Carp Village'?"
Jiang Gaoyi raised his head suddenly, ignored the food, walked to the side of the prison, and asked Master Zheng in a low voice across the corridor.
When Zheng Xiu heard this, he was slightly stunned.
A few seconds later, Zheng Xiu slapped his head, secretly scolded himself for being dark under the lamp, and immediately beckoned to Scar Lao Liu, who left depressedly and turned back in three steps, but actually didn't go far: "Sixth brother, excuse me, prepare wine!" β
"Ready for wine?"
"Did you drink those two pots last time?"
"Nope!"
"Can you bear it?"
"Can't help it! But I didn't dare to drink it! "Scar Lao Liu is right.
"Coincidentally, serve the wine! Zheng wants to have a good time with Master Jiang! β
Scar Lao Liu is now doing things, and he is hard-hearted, and he doesn't ask much.
After a while, the low table was served, and there were cushions.
Jiang Gaoyi watched Scar Lao Liu open the two prison doors respectively, and respectfully asked Master Zheng to string them into his prison, confused: "How can the world be like this? β
Two pots of good wine, a table of side dishes.
After three rounds of drinking, Master Zheng frequently raised his glass to persuade him to drink, Jiang Gaoyi's face turned red, and he looked at Master Zheng, a profiteer, which was also pleasing to the eye.
General Zheng, but he died in the battle for Daqian, and the baby he gave birth to will not be any worse.
"Lord Jiang, that Baili Village, shouldn't it happen to be really at the boundary of your Yanzhou territory?"
Mr. Zheng is deeply rooted in the wine table culture, so he took the opportunity to ask.
"Master Hou, how did you think of inquiring about that old murder case?"
Jiang Gaoyi was reluctant to learn from Lao Liu and others to call Zheng Xiu "Master Zheng", and always felt that he was a philistine and fell into a pattern. can be called "Hou Ye" is different, Zheng Xiu is a Zhenger Bajing with the title of "Loyal Martyr Marquis", and Zheng Xiu has a deep friendship, and he is not ashamed.
"Old, homicide?" Zheng Xiu was stunned.
"This matter ......" Jiang Gaoyi's expression flickered, and he hesitated for a moment, but he still gritted his teeth and asked Zheng Xiu to promise that he would never mention it to a third party, and then he slowly told him what he knew.
The "White Carp Village" he knows is on the border between Yanzhou and Jingzhou, but it is under the jurisdiction of Yanzhou.
Twenty years ago, at the junction of the two states, there was a small village called Baili Village.
There were a total of 26 families there, and the Northern Barbarian Rebellion lasted for five whole years, the country was depressed, the people's livelihood was bleak, bandits were everywhere, and gangs committed crimes.
And one night, Baili Village was washed in blood, and there were 26 households in Baili Village, a total of 49 villagers, and none of them survived.
Today, the remains of Baili Village are only a wilderness and lonely grave, with ruins and broken walls, and no one cares about them.
If it weren't for Jiang Gaoyi, who had been an official in Yanzhou for decades, and had taken over this tragedy of destroying the village, he might not have remembered it.
"Twenty years ago? Twenty years ago? Twenty years ago? β
Zheng Xiu slapped his thigh.
He was carefully checking whether the white carp village was located in a small forest, with steep mountains and straight official roads.
After receiving Jiang Gaoyi's affirmative reply, Zheng Xiu remained silent on the surface and persuaded him to drink again.
"But why can't this matter be mentioned to a third party?"
Master Zheng asked again.
Once it was said, Jiang Gaoyi did not hide it, saying that it was this tragedy of destroying the village, which was not unusual in the world of bandits at that time. It's just peculiar that this matter should have been recorded by the local government department, but not long after, Shangshu of the Imperial City Criminal Department personally rode a thousand-mile horse overnight, arrived in Yanzhou, took away the file, closed the case quickly, and even issued a silent order.
Master Zheng's face was strange: "Did you later say that the previous criminal department secretary of the family died of illness, and the song did not return to Master Qu?" β
"It's Qu who doesn't return, Master Qu."
The song does not return, and it is really gone.
Jiang Gaoyi wondered why Zheng Xiu would ask about this old matter, Zheng Xiu casually said nonsense, saying that someone wanted to do business with him, claiming to be from Baili Village, Zheng Xiu felt that the other party was not a good person, so he sent someone to investigate. Jiang Gaoyi suddenly realized that this reason was reasonable, and Baili Village no longer existed, so it must be a misunderstanding.
Five rounds of drinking.
Jiang Gaoyi has been imprisoned so far, and today is the happiest day in the past three months, and he is happy on his head, taking advantage of the bad things that were the bandits in charge of the year, Jiang Gaoyi also said that if it were not for General Zheng who killed all the way to the northern frontier, penetrated deep into the enemy country, and killed the enemy, this five-year stalemate in the Northern Barbarian Rebellion may not have been settled 20 years ago. Then, the external turmoil was calmed down, and there was peace in the world today.
Jiang Gaoyi's words revealed his admiration for General Zheng.
When Zheng Xiu was young, he heard countless people boast about his father's exploits.
But there is an exaggeration.
Because it is said that General Zheng led an army of 10,000 to the enemy and killed all the way to the capital of the Northern Barbarians. The last 10,000 soldiers were killed in the battle with General Zheng, and only the military divisions who did not go to the battlefield survived.
Later, the military adviser returned to the court, saying that General Zheng suddenly had divine power, and the flesh and bones of 10,000 soldiers were like a piece of armor draped on his body...... Doesn't that sound ridiculous?
Yes, ridiculous.
The whole world felt ridiculous.
The surviving military advisor was probably stimulated, and after returning to the court, he went crazy, talked nonsense, was depressed, and died of hunger strike not long after.
But since the death of General Zheng in battle, the Northern Barbarians surrendered, and everything came to an end, which is a real battle. But what the military advisor said, most people think it is an exaggeration, or a crazy and stupid thing.
After the death of Zheng's father, he was also posthumously awarded the title of Loyal Martyr, and the emperor gave him a plaque and hung it in the hall of the Zheng family.
At first, Xiao Zheng Xiu believed it.
After he awakened the memory of his previous life, he called out the time to run and the plug-in to the account, so he dug Zheng Zhai three feet into the ground, trying to find some exercise cheats.
In the end, of course, I didn't find it.
Xiao Zheng Xiucai died of the idea of plugging into the account.
β¦β¦
Zheng's winery is made with real materials, ancient double steaming, high purity and no water. Two pots of belly, Jiang Gaoyi has rarely had a sweet dream since he was imprisoned, lying in the corner and muttering.
"Give him a clean and warm quilt, and get the money tomorrow, one hundred taels."
Zheng Xiu instructed the jailer, who did it quickly. The old man returned to his cell, lay down on the master's chair, closed his eyes and pondered.
I don't know when it started, this humble prison can bring Zheng Shoufu a sense of peace of mind, and he is reluctant to leave.
The origin of Baili Village is basically the truth.
Twenty years ago, the massacre of Tu Village, Baili Village.
It was a small village that existed 20 years ago, at the junction of Yanzhou and Jingzhou.
No wonder it can't be found.
Not to mention that tragedy, it seems that there is something to be done, but what Zheng Xiu is thinking at the moment is that this [prisoner] door allows him to shuttle back to the past illusion twenty years ago, what is it for.
Just live to the dawn?
Or let him go back to the "past" in this way, find out the real culprit, and return the truth to the twenty-six families, and return the world to a bright future?
"Wang Cangyun, the guard with a sword in front of the emperor..."
"Hunted down..."
"The boy..."
"Wait."
Suddenly, once Mr. Zheng, who substituted the "tragedy 20 years ago" into it, gradually peeled off everything and smoothed it out. An idea that made him think carefully and was extremely frightened, and came out of thin air: "I haven't even heard of the 'Imperial Guard with a Sword' set up by the Great Cadre, that was the position before the Year of the Monkey and the Horse?" β
"If it is really the commander of the guards with swords in front of the emperor, he must be a cronie of the emperor's side."
"Twenty years ago, the time was ambiguous, and it was not surprising that there were three or five months of error before and after."
"If it happened to be at that time, the time when the old Wei Emperor happened to be not in the imperial city..."
All kinds of clues are inadvertently strung together.
"Then the little kid he brought with him, it shouldn't be an illegitimate child or something, right?"
When Zheng Xiu was thinking about the "illegitimate child" inference, the more he thought about it, the more reliable he felt.
There was a dull feeling in his chest, followed by a swelling pain, and his heart pounded wildly, as if a living creature was about to burst out of his chest.
Meantime.
There was a sharp pain in Zheng Xiu's neck, and two bruises appeared out of thin air, circling around his neck.
Something happened in the ghost!
After hanging up all night, Zheng Xiu thought about the tragedy in Baili Village and almost forgot about it.
His eyes closed and opened, his mind sank into a ghostly one, and his consciousness reconnected with the avatar.
Zheng Xiu opened his eyes.
A pungent smell of blood filled the air.
I saw that in the dark, a figure taller than [Zheng Shan] broke into the house at some point.
"Whew..."
The tall figure, with its back bent, its head reaching the beams of the roof.
It was like a humanoid beast with its back bent and prey!
"It" is using its huge palm to pinch [Zheng Shan]'s neck and lift it in the air.
In the dark,
Zheng Xiu was in the pain of suffocation, and could only barely see "its" eyes.
It was a pair of blood-red eyes, round and large, like two lanterns in the dark, and like two blood-red whirlpools, sucking Zheng Xiu's attention into them.
tyrannical, ferocious, murderous, chaotic, mad...
At that moment, many adjectives flashed through Zheng Xiu's mind, and finally fell on one word: indifference.
He inexplicably thought of Xiao Fengbei's eyes.
With the eyes of everyone in Baili Village, it seems incompatible.

"Ho Ho Ho ......"
A strange laugh erupted from the mouth of the beastly figure.
