Chapter Forty-Eight: The Truth Is Revealed
"That's right!" Jin Taisheng said in a deep voice: "There is indeed news coming back from several counties in the east, almost ten rooms and nine empty, the people have either been killed or plundered, and the place is very withered. β
They were sacrificed as human animals. Lin Feng said respectfully:
"These East China Sea pirates are carrying out some kind of vicious ritual of real nature, the purpose is to pollute the local dragon veins of the Eastern Xia Kingdom, and then spread their evil divine power to the Central Plains! After I heard the news, I thought that they must not succeed, this is not just a matter of war between countries, the dragon veins of the Central Plains are involved in the luck of human beings, once anything goes wrong, it is a sign of extermination!"
"These bastards!" Jin Taisheng was already furious, and slammed his fist on the table next to him, and then said decisively: "The matter is serious, I must inform the court in the form of 100,000 urgent, and then send an envoy to inform the other four countries! β
"Hey, hey, hey!" Lin Feng said with a smile: "It's not bad for a few words, I still have a private matter to trouble the noble envoy." β
Jin Taisheng took a deep breath and said:
"I'll tell SΓΉ Fu Langzhong to cooperate with Childe, but what Childe said is too amazing, if you hadn't clicked through the inside, it would have been hard to imagine that there was such an amazing crisis inside!!!
Jin Taisheng walked about half a cup of tea, and that Fu Qincha came to visit Lin Fengjin, probably because he got Jin Taisheng's instructions, and he was a little respectful and said:
"I don't know if Childe has any personal matters, I can help?"
Lin Feng said:
"I came here because the legendary heir of the world's first tea ceremony is hidden here, which is the son of the owner of the Ji family, and the medicine in the prescription I want to take is to ask her to brew the new tea before the Ming Dynasty to help the medicinal power, but after coming here, I learned that the son of the owner is actually missing. There are many twists and turns, and it is difficult to describe them all for a while, so I want to ask the government to cooperate with me. β
As soon as he heard Lin Fengjin's request, Fu Qincha was full of promises, and he almost didn't pat his chest to promise that this kind of trivial matter of finding someone could be said to be a trivial matter that was not worth mentioning in his eyes. At that moment, Fu Qincha first went to inquire about the current situation, and made sure that the East China Sea pirates found that this side had attracted the attention of the Eastern Xia army, and after the army had been fully withdrawn, he quickly conveyed Lin Fengjin's meaning. This matter is regarded as the most urgent task at present.
After the terrorist force of the state machine was activated, the power generated was very terrifying, not to mention that this was a joint action from both the military and the political side? The newly appointed Shang Qiang Zhixian also came out at this time with extreme cooperation, and the vigorous search of the military and political sides, as well as the 50,000 taels of bounty that Lin Fengjin took out, can be said to have pushed this matter to the extreme!
If he can't find the son of the owner in this way, then Lin Fengjin can only lament that his life is not good.
A day later, Lin Fengjin got a key piece of news. The breakthrough appeared in the place of Huanghuadian.
However, it was not a logical breakthrough, such as the discovery of the ship of the son of the owner. Seclusive places, etc.,
However, after a large number of people investigated, they almost didn't ask all the villages around Huanghuadian next to each other, but they found a very strange thing. The fishermen begging for a living around Huanghuadian Lake, there are two or three thousand people in the village, and they are all saying one thing in unison. That is, the water chestnut in Huanghuadian this year was damaged by the water chestnut plague in early summer, resulting in a large number of water chestnut leaves rotting.
Because the water chestnut is wild, no one cares about it, and in the end, the water chestnut in Huanghuadian this year is not only a reduction in yield, but even the maturity period is delayed by at least a month and a half.
Then the problem comes, Aunt Zhang in the Ji Mansion said: She happened to see a boat when she went to Huanghuadian with others to pick water chestnuts a month ago, and the water chestnuts in Huanghuadian were only a little mature on the boat.
Since there is a suspicion here, it is likely that the person who released this news is a fake with ulterior motives.
There are two key figures who released this news, one is Mama Huang in the Wang's mansion, and she didn't see the son of the owner with her own eyes, but heard what Aunt Zhang, who had been a mother-in-law in the Ji Mansion before, so, among the two, there must be one person who is lying, and maybe even two people are lying!
So he followed this route and went down the vine, and soon, the Huang Mama and Zhang Damiang were arrested, and on the same night, Zhang Damiang, one of the two, died violently in the cell.
This was as if it had stabbed a hornet's nest, and it caused an uproar all of a sudden, and the unlucky guys who were on patrol that night were scolded by the fierce drills, and the clues that were finally found were cut off at once, of course, the above was very angry, and then the wind in the city was loud, which made people panic.
However, when there was a gloomy mist on the surface, Lin Fengjin was burning hot pot and drinking wine with Fu Qincha around the stove.
Fu Qincha admired the way:
"Sure enough, it's the son, a little trick, let out the wind, and can actually turn against the guest, to attack instead of defend, from these two village old women can ask what the situation? β
Lin Fengjin hurriedly waved his hand and smiled:
"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, this is just a whim! But since I know that Huanghuadian is a false rumor released by the other party, then I can deduce in reverse, since the other party has done this, it is clear that I heard that I am inquiring about the whereabouts of the son of the owner, and wants me to go to Huanghuadian for a trip. Then the other party should have arranged it in Huanghuadian in advance. β
"Hehe, even if the other party doesn't show flaws when he sneaks into the cell to kill people, it is impossible to do a seamless job in this regard, I have already sent someone to secretly investigate this matter, and it is estimated that there will be an echo in the next two days. The other party is now moving more and making more mistakes, and moving less and making fewer mistakes, but if he doesn't move, the horse's feet that were exposed before are enough to betray him. β
At this time. Suddenly there was the sound of hurried footsteps outside the tent, followed by a voice that said excitedly through the tent:
"Lord Baoqincha! The person you are looking for has been rescued, and she has already experienced her body, it is Miss Zhenzhen of the Ji family, although she looks quite weak and has suffered a lot of injuries, she can basically be sure that her life is not in danger. β
As he spoke, the guards outside had let him in, and the sergeant was covered in a lot of blood and looked like he had fought hard. Fu Qincha said urgently:
"What you said is true?"
The sergeant gasped and said:
"Of course it's true, it is estimated that I will be able to bring this Miss Ji back soon. β
Lin Fengjin's eyebrows raised, "So soon, take me to have a look." β
Fu Qincha saw that the sergeant still had no intention of moving, and immediately scolded in annoyance:
"Don't you want to lead the way, haven't you seen Childe speak?"
The sergeant immediately panicked and said:
"Yes, yes, please follow me!"
When he said this, he made a gesture of bowing, but at this moment, the man actually waved his hand, and immediately a pale yellow dust-like thing was spilled out of his hand. In an instant, it dispersed, making it seem like a sandstorm in the military tent, and the complete visibility could be said to be extremely low!
Immediately afterward, the man was already rolling on the spot. When he came to the front of the stove table where Lin Fengjin and Fu Qin were eating and drinking, his feet were already kicked out in a row, and the cold light on his toes was even more shining, but he had already kicked in the air! Lin Fengjin was like an unpredictable prophet, and then retreated sharply!
However, the assassin posing as a sergeant missed the blow and immediately swept with another leg. With this kick swept out, the red coals in the stove and the boiling broth in the brass pot were all splashed forward.
This assassin has already calculated, the place in this military tent is limited, and this is the big tent of the Chinese army, the tent is made of three layers of cowhide soaked in tung oil, it can be said that it is very tough, the knife and axe are difficult to hurt, the only drawback is that he is afraid of fire, Lin Fengjin took a person to retreat sharply, at most he could only retreat to the end of the military tent, and the charcoal and hot water kicked out by his own foot covered the two or three zhang in front of him!
It's just that when the assassin swept out that kick, he heard a piercing sound like a crack, it turned out that Lin Fengjin had already expected that the big tent behind him would stop his retreat, and he had already held the King of Teeth in his hand, and with a stab and a pull, he had already drawn a big hole, and then he took this Fu Qincha and threw himself out of this mouth, and he didn't even stop! The hot coals and hot water that followed the pursuit could only splash on the soles of Lin Fengjin and Fu Qincha's feet.
At this time, the guards outside already felt that something was wrong, and rushed in from the door with angry shouts, but they were choked by the yellow smoke inside, and immediately felt extremely uncomfortable in their throats and eyes, and immediately burst into tears and retched.
At this time, the assassin had already followed Lin Fengjin's footsteps and chased out, he already knew that this assassination was declared a failure, and if he delayed it any longer, he was afraid that even he would be accompanied in vain, so he gritted his teeth and glanced angrily in the dark.
He had already arranged a retreat here, and he only needed to jump up and grab the rope and pull it, then the slipknot would naturally be loosened, and he could swing more than ten zhang away in an instant, and then fall directly into the lotus pond of this big family next to the barracks, and escape from the waterway!
But at this moment, a figure actually appeared in front of the assassin as if it were a ghost, and the assassin was actually in mid-air at this time!
"You!" the Assassin was tempted to ask, "how did you catch up?" β
But at this time, he already felt an incomparably strong wind blowing towards his face! It was almost suffocating! Because Lin Fengjin, who was pursuing, had already punched out a volley! On Lin Fengjin's finger, a ring that looked so ordinary that it couldn't be more ordinary was shining with a strange light.
Power Pastoral Ring!!
It was this artifact that directly turned Lin Fengjin's ordinary punch into a magical one!
At this time, both sides were in mid-air, there was no way to borrow strength, and it was difficult to have a way to unload the force, the assassin also looked very fierce, facing Lin Fengjin's punch actually took a deep breath, and then punched out, it was actually an attack against an attack!
The two fists collided in the air, so to speak, in an instant. Such a terrifying blow even caused a dull "buzzing" sound in the surrounding air!
The two fists seem to be played back in slow motion, first from far to near, then slowly closer, and finally fist to fist, fist to fist, at this time, the huge power carried by the two fists began to erupt, showing the most primitive and savage battle!
The two fists froze in the air for half a second, as if they were suspended, and then a crunch "click" was heard from the assassin's arm. Immediately after, his clenched fist began to deform, twist, and finally rise high behind him, and his arm was even more eerily twisted like a three-chucked stick, and it was obvious that the bones inside had been shattered.
Not only that, but the huge force that came from Lin Fengjin's fist even smashed his entire person into the air, and a bloody arrow spurted out of his mouth, flying out crookedly. smashed a tent and fell in, so to speak, life and death are unknown.
The entire barracks was already agitated as if it had been stabbed in a hornet's nest, but soon someone began to sound the gong. At the same time shouted:
"Stay in the barracks, kill those who move around, kill those who make loud noises, and kill those who light candles without permission!"
As soon as these three words were called, and the army was originally the most disciplined place, the commotion quickly subsided. By the time the Assassin barely managed to crawl out of the tabernacle, he had already seen himself surrounded by three layers inside and three layers outside, and the commanding heights around him were all aimed at by the archers of the army. It can be said that it is difficult to fly.
The assassin smiled bitterly, then vomited out a mouthful of blood, and said indifferently:
"Let's do it. β
Lin Fengjin walked out at this time, but he was already holding a stack of materials in his hand, and said with a smile:
"I can see that your brain is quite dexterous, and you find that the nest has been closely monitored, and it is estimated that the destruction will be in an instant, so you decisively thought of a way to save Zhao from Wei Wei, and came to the military camp to assassinate here, if it is successful, then you can catch the Qin Cha and ask for release, even if the assassination fails, it can also be turned upside down, used to reduce the pressure on your nest, tsk, it's really loyal." β
"Kill if you want, what are you doing with all this nonsense?" the assassin said disdainfully.
Lin Fengjin looked at this assassin, took out a notebook and flipped through it, and said lightly:
"Should I call you Sand Wolf or Ji Bin?"
The assassin's body stiffened, but Lin Fengjin sighed and said:
"Of course you don't know, I've been suspicious of you for a long time, right? The ancestor of the Ji family died too suddenly, and it was too strange, and when the East China Sea Coalition invaded that day, the cousins of you disciples of the Ji Mansion were also very suspicious, and most of them were not in the Ji Mansion! β
"I should have killed you a long time ago," Ji Bin gritted his teeth and said: "From the moment you came to Ji Mansion, I knew that there would be no good thing!!"
Lin Feng sneered:
"You actually have the face to call me a scourge? I don't know if you are a scourge or if I am! You have committed 11 crimes, killed 17 people, plundered as much as 300,000 taels of gold and silver goods, and even killed an 11-year-old girl. β
"Privately, the Ji family has adopted you since you were an orphan, providing food and clothing, how did you repay you? The son of the previous owner died in your hands, right, and the current son of the owner was imprisoned by you, right? What is the difference between you and the beast?"
Ji Bin gritted his teeth and said:
"You know a fart, if it weren't for the master's order, how could we do such a thing?"
Lin Feng scoffed and said:
"Let me ask you, is the ancestor representing the Ji family, or is the head of the Ji family representing the Ji family? You eat the food of the Ji family and drink the water of the Ji family, and you still have the face to quibble when you do such a thing that is inferior to pigs and dogs?
Ji Bin was suddenly dumbfounded, and a trace of fear flashed in his eyes.
At this time, the concept of the clan is very strong, so the various relationships and status in the clan are also very clear, and it has always been the patriarch who has the right to speak in the clan, and what he fears the most is what Lin Fengjin said, being expelled from the clan, in the concept at that time, it can be said that it is a great shame, similar to the grave of his parents being dug up, and he has become the laughing stock of everyone!
At this time, another person hurriedly squeezed to Lin Fengjin's side and whispered a few words to Lin Fengjin, Lin Fengjin obviously put down a heart, and finally grabbed that person and asked:
"It's true this time, isn't it fake news again?"
The man immediately knelt down in the ground and said:
"The humble position guarantees the lives of the whole family, it must be true news, Miss Ji seems to have suffered a lot, and now she has been in a coma, and she should be sent to the barracks soon. β
Lin Fengjin nodded and said:
"What about the rest?"
The human:
"Except for the two people who are guarding Miss Ji's family, the rest are all fenced off, and it is difficult to fly!"
Lin Feng said respectfully:
"What about the two people who are guarding Miss Ji's family, where did they go?"
The human:
"As soon as we sent out the army, we divided the back garden where Miss Ji was imprisoned from the front, and there were only two guards inside, we invited Master Ji out to talk to them, these two people wanted four fast horses, three thousand taels of silver to run away, and swore not to hurt Miss Ji, in order to avoid any accidents, so we met their requirements, but these two people should not be able to escape far. β
Lin Feng nodded with satisfaction and said:
"The safety of a person is more important than anything else, and I am very satisfied with the result of being able to use four horses and three thousand taels of silver. β
Immediately afterwards, Lin Fengjin said to Ji Bin, who was surrounded:
"Count your luck, I have a very dangerous thing to do recently, the person who goes is likely to die, the chance of survival is only half, if you are not tired of living, then just tie your hands, and then go to fight luck, of course, if you don't want to live, just resist. β
Then he waved his hand to the people around him and said:
"Take it, if you resist, you don't have to kill! If you are captured, then treat him first, I have to leave in advance. β
After Lin Fengjin left, the surrounding soldiers rushed forward, and Ji Bin gritted his teeth creak, but in the end he didn't resist, and let others tie him up.
Soon, Lin Fengjin saw the person he had come all the way to find.
The son of a contemporary proprietor.
She looked thin, even her face was a little dirty, even in a coma she frowned, and it seemed that pain was always with her when she lost consciousness.
Her skin was terrifyingly pale, and even the surface of her skin had a translucent color, as if it were glass, so the cyan veins were particularly distinct, and on the wrists of her two hands, there were numerous scars, new, old, scarred, densely stacked together, which looked completely shocking and terrifying.
However, the most eye-catching thing was the crimson jewelry on her left ear, which looked like a ball of gems with irregular shapes, and it wasn't until she saw it that Lin Fengjin understood what Ji Yuanwai meant when he said before, "It's a puddle of water, a deep pool, and it can suck your eyes in." β
Because although these carmine earrings are only the size of a fingernail, they give people a deep feeling, as if there is a hidden world in them
Suddenly, Lin Fengjin felt a vibration from his waist, and then Shui E sent a message:
"Shi Nu said, this carmine earring is definitely not an ordinary gem, it should be an eye that has been gouged out!"
"Eyes?" Lin Fengjin was taken aback: "Is this thing an eye?" (to be continued......)
