Chapter 55: I'll Be With You
What happened next? Zhang He naively thought that he killed Li Wei and temporarily saved Shen Lao without medicine, but he didn't think that there was more than one person in this army, and someone still took advantage of the opportunity to drug Shen Lao.
Shen Lao vomited blood before going to the battlefield that night, but because of the enemy's surprise attack, he had to cheer up and go into battle again. But his physical strength had been stretched to the maximum, and he was picked off his horse when he fought with the enemy generals, and he never got up again.
The moment General Shen fell to the ground, he recalled his childhood when he studied with his father. Later, when he led his troops to fight for the first time, he was so brave and fearless, but now he finished his last battle in this way.
But fortunately, he died on the battlefield and died for the country, as a military general, he has no regrets in this life.
Ruan Mingjiao listened to Li Cailian crying and telling about the situation back then, but her heart was full of emotion, one person harmed another person who helped him for his wife, Zhang He has endured no less than others in the past six years.
But a meritorious man who fought for the country for 10,000 years, in the end, he was lonely in such a way, he did not die in the hands of the enemy, he died in the calculation of his own people, who is this person.
She turned her head to look at Yan Zheng on the side, he always sat there without saying a word, his head down, his clenched fist on his lap but trembling faintly, until he heard his grandfather say goodbye in such a way, two tears slipped from the bottom of his eyes, fell on the back of his hand but were quickly covered by him.
"Who is that eunuch, and who is the person behind it?" Ruan Mingjiao's heart was touched, she had never seen Yan Zheng like this, and she became more and more angry in her heart, and turned her head to look at Li Cailian and asked.
Li Cailian stopped crying, wiped away her tears with her sleeve, and hurriedly took out a letter from her arms and handed it to Yan Zheng.
Yan Zheng had returned to normal, but the scarlet under his eyes and trembling hands trembled and took the envelope, opened it for a long time as if he had lost his strength, the envelope was intact, Ruan Mingjiao saw this and quickly took it and opened it for him, and then unfolded the letter and handed it to him.
Yan Zheng looked sluggish at the moment, he didn't care about these details, and took the letter and looked at it.
Although Zhang He is a martial artist, he writes dignified and neat in one hand, and does not write much else in the letter, directly pointing out that the eunuch of the year was an internal servant named Wu Jin. Zhang He has been hiding for so many years, while collecting evidence to know whose department this Wu Jin is, every time he finds out, he is the first to expose his whereabouts, and he is chased and killed by others.
So, he was stopped halfway through, he happened to be at this time, Li Cailian was pregnant and needed a stable place, so he took people all the way to Panlong Mountain and occupied it as the king. They took some gunpowder with them when they left, and for a time they occupied a favorable position, and they also had hard weapons around them, and they finally settled down for a while.
He originally wanted to put these things down, but these official dogs lied and didn't know how to make drafts, and when he fled, he relied on Shen Lao's death to him, saying that he defected because he was bought by the enemy, so Shen Lao Zhan died and Bian Yang was lost.
In the end, he said that he was Shen Lao's right-hand man, what he meant was what Shen Lao meant, and he wanted to give Shen Lao the notoriety of a rebel, and he was immediately unhappy.
originally wanted to disappear, but these people forced him too hard, so he put down the people he had been holding on for many years down the mountain and came to rob the rich government, robbing the rich and helping the poor.
At this moment, those in the imperial city who had been tracking them knew that he appeared in Panlong Mountain, and in order to prevent the secret from being exposed, they would inevitably send troops to encircle and suppress him. He wanted to go down the mountain and go back with them, but he didn't have enough evidence in his hands, and even if he exposed it, he wouldn't necessarily be able to bring those murderers to justice.
At this moment, the second master, Chen Meng, that is, Zhang Hu, who gave him half a cake in Bandao, appeared, so the two worshipped and became brothers, supporting each other all the way, so he believed in Zhang Hu very much.
Zhang Hu went down the mountain several times, and once came back after a long time, he was worried that those people would catch Zhang Hu, and he was about to send someone to rescue Zhang Hu, but Zhang Hu came back in embarrassment at this time.
When he was shocked, he looked at Zhang Hu and found that he was fine, so he was relieved: "Where did you go?" ”
Zhang Hu was slightly annoyed, and knelt down with some guilt: "Big brother, I can't stand you." ”
Zhang He didn't know how he could say this, so he hurriedly helped the person up and asked the reason, Zhang Hu simply told him about his situation at the bottom of the mountain.
He went down the mountain to procure, but because the things he procured were too large and the amount was too large, the government waited for me to pay attention, and they caught him at night. was questioned in prison, and he revealed his identity, but those people did not beat him again, but asked Zhang He's identity, as well as Zhang He's service in the Tiger Roar Camp back then, and Shen Lao's affairs.
Zhang Hu said that he was just for the sake of rights and interests, but they had already guessed their minds, and said that they were also investigating the real reason for the death of General Shen that year, as long as Zhang Hu cooperated with them, someone would help Zhang and them find out the truth of the year.
Zhang Hu's tone was earnest, begging for mercy and kowtowing, Zhang He's heart was in the atmosphere, but for some reason the scene in front of him was so familiar, he hurt Shen Lao for his own selfish interests, and now Zhang Hu made a mistake but did not harm his life, he is happier than Shen Lao.
Thinking about it this way, he was relieved a lot, he didn't want to cooperate with the government at first, but the government forced to attack the mountain several times, and there were more people in the cottage, and his son was only in infancy, so he couldn't let him be a bandit for the rest of his life.
After thinking about it repeatedly, Zhang He agreed to this cooperation, and his strength alone was too small to find the real mastermind behind the scenes, and the worst result of cooperating with them was not to move again.
In this way, Zhang Hu came to contact as an intermediary, and the government did not make any excessive demands, only asking them to properly rob the gunpowder and weapons of the government in the caravan of the boiler.
Zhang He had never seen officials robbing officials, and they greatly reduced Zhang He's suspicions, even when they were really at odds with those officers and soldiers in the imperial court, although it was dangerous to rob officials and silver, it was much better than what they robbed in half a month at that time.
He has a cottage of people, and the cottage is normally used to turn up, and he can also let me breathe a sigh of relief.
Hearing this, Ruan Mingjiao heard a little meaning, feeling that Ning Cheng had Fang Ming that they had been acting here for so many days, and they wanted to borrow their hands to get rid of the scar without losing their lives.
However, when she thought about it, Bai Ran turned the cottage upside down, and found nothing, not to mention weapons, gold and silver. Zhang Hu is a dark chess piece, ambushed in the cottage, those things are very likely to be transferred by him without Zhang He's knowledge, but where can he transfer so many things?
A cloud of sorrow formed between her eyebrows, and she couldn't help but look at the person next to her, Yan Zheng accepted the envelope and looked at Li Cailian, "Do you have any correspondence with him?" ”
"There is an agreement, but they don't use the official seal, I don't know ......" Li Cailian nodded immediately, but hesitated as she spoke.
"Where's the thing?" Yan Zheng asked.
Li Cailian got up and pointed out the door: "Before going down the mountain, the head of the house handed me the things, saying that it was for me to report to the official, I have been carrying it closely, and I have been taking care of the children in the house for a few days, and I will take them." ”
"I'll go with you." Yan Zheng got up and followed Li Cailian.
Li Cailian was arranged in a side room, and at this moment the child was asleep, and there was a little maid watching. In order to prevent leakage of news, Yan Zheng was generous, Ruan Mingjiao watched the child on the small bed on the side, Li Cailian lit the candlestick in the house, and took out an agreement under the bed.
It was a peace agreement, that is, Huajingzhai helped their government to do things, and the government no longer sent troops to suppress the bandits, and the two sides were safe and sound. The signature is a private seal, but it is cautious.
Yan Zheng's face sank, and he felt that something was wrong. It wasn't that Ruan Mingjiao thought about it, where did so many things go?
"You haven't told anyone about this, have you?" He looked at Li Cailian with the agreement, and asked in a suppressed voice.
Li Cailian shook her head, "Don't worry, my lord, this thing is important, I haven't told anyone!" ”
Hearing the satisfactory answer, Yan Zheng's face recovered a little, and told Li Cailian to rest here, and someone would arrange for her to go to ensure her safety, and then pulled Ruan Mingjiao away.
He was in a hurry, Ruan Mingjiao didn't know why when she was pulled out, but it was inconvenient for Li Cailian to ask, and she didn't say anything because there were many people on the road, and followed people all the way into the study of the mansion.
"Lord of the county, my lord!" Shiran bowed in front of the door.
"Go find the wind, I'm in trouble!"
His voice was deep, his eyes were like torches, and he did not allow anyone to question it in the slightest, and Bai Ran immediately obeyed the order and turned and retreated.
Entering the study, Ruan Mingjiao had the opportunity to ask him, afraid that the voice would be too loud and someone would eavesdrop, so she could only approach him and ask in a suppressed voice: "What's wrong, look at your face, what did you find?" ”
Yan Zheng saw her approaching, and asked cautiously, as if she was going to do something bad, remembering that she was in the room just now, her concerned look and the resentment in her heart seemed to be a little indifferent.
He felt funny, his body and mind were inexplicably relieved, the corners of his mouth pulled up involuntarily, stretched out his hand and flicked her head, and teased: "You want to be a thief, so quiet?" ”
Ruan Mingjiao was in pain, stretched out her hand to cover the place where he had been played, and was slightly dissatisfied: "It's not that you yourself are so mysterious, and you dragged me here without saying a word, and you let Bai Ran go to find Congfeng, isn't it just that you are afraid that people will know." ”
She was just about to have a seizure, Yan Zheng was so rude, but she found that he had a smile on the corner of his mouth, and his eyes flashed with a bit of surprise, "You? It's okay? ”
"What is the matter with me, Yan Zheng didn't look at her, spread out the agreement that Li Cailian handed over to him on the table, and replied.
"You just ......" Ruan Mingjiao was stunned for a moment, and pointed out the door of her eyes, the meaning was obvious.
"Don't worry, I'm fine, I'm just angry for so long, my grandfather fought all his life, but he was calculated like this by his own people, I just want to find out the truth as soon as possible and give his old man justice."
His tone was earnest, without the slightest sadness and melancholy, Ruan Mingjiao's heart was warm, and he was a little sour by him, standing up straight and looking at him earnestly: "Well, I'll accompany you!" ”
