Chapter 206: The Past
"Don't worry, I'll be prepared for this. Feng Kai replied.
Du Yangui felt a little relieved and said, "That's good." In that case, you should go ahead and prepare first. Just as Feng Kai was leaving, a person suddenly flashed in Du Yangui's mind, and he said, "By the way, what about Shang Ling?
Because of the arrival of Wang Dezhao, it reminded Du Yangui of the person he was arrested.
And the reason why Shang Ling was arrested was also because his son Shang Yi attacked Wang Dezhao, which summoned such a situation, and then found out the entire Manichaean matter.
"He's in a cell right now. Feng Kai saw Du Yangui's eyes pondering, and hurriedly said: "But don't worry, Zhizhou, he is still very good now, and there is not much of a problem." ”
"That's good. Du Yangui breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Then did he confess to Manichaeism?"
The extermination of the Wang clan was done by Manichaeism, which has been confirmed through those letters, Wang Dezhao was also attacked by Shang Yi, which is also true, and therefore Du Yangui suspected that Shang Ling should be related to Manichaeism, so he arrested him, and now I think about it, is it a mistake?
Du Yangui began to think, reflecting on whether he had made a mistake somewhere.
After pondering for a moment, Feng Kai shook his head and replied: "I also tried this, but that guy didn't know anything about Manichaeism. ”
"I understand. Looks like I'm going to have to go to the cell myself. Du Yangui took a deep breath and then made up his mind.
Feng Kai was slightly surprised, and hurriedly asked, "Zhizhou, are you going to meet that Shang Ling?"
"That's right. Although he may not have anything to do with Manichaeism, it doesn't mean that there are no clues. After all, Shang Yi, who once attacked me and Wang Dezhao, was his son. Du Yangui said in a deep voice, and then let Feng Kai lead the way, all the way to the cell.
The cell in late autumn is particularly cold, and the dim kerosene lamp illuminates it, revealing an eerie feeling.
Du Yangui was here, and he also felt a little infiltrated, stared at the person in front of him, and then asked, "Are you Shang Ling?" Compared to the last time we met, Shang Ling was much paler, his temples were much whiter, and his skin was also unusually gray.
"Yes, it's me. Shang Ling said weakly.
The cell was originally a place where the cold qi gathered, and even if Feng Kai did not torture Shang Ling, this almost desperate environment alone was enough to torture anyone.
Du Yan Gui Annai felt pity in his heart, and said, "Then do you know why you are locked up here?"
"Seriously, I don't really know about this, and if you want to get news from me, it's in vain. Shang Ling shook his head and replied.
Du Yangui secretly said that this was indeed the case, and said: "Even if your son is implicated, do you know what your son did during the time you were locked up?"
"Yi'er, what's wrong with him?"
Shang Ling became excited, his eyes, which were almost desperate, were also shining with a little light.
Du Yangui said in a solemn voice: "Alas. What more do you think can be done with your son's character?"
"This, isn't it true that you were deceived by that guy and did these stupid things?" Shang Ling muttered, looking a little desperate.
Du Yangui's heart moved, and he hurriedly asked, "That guy, who is that guy?"
"He's, his name is Ding Bo, and he's my son's master. Shang Ling explained: "Because that person once saved my family's life, my son has great respect for this person, and he is a disciple when he goes in and out." It can be said that my son has special respect for him, and even contradicts him and me. Alas, Yi'er, do you know that the world is dangerous, how can you trust others easily?"
"Timbo, listen to you, don't seem to trust this person?"
Du Yangui was slightly interested, and felt that he seemed to have grasped a clue.
Shang Ling said: "Of course. You must know that this person's whereabouts are uncertain and he often travels all over the world, how can he be regarded as a famous teacher? Know that he is a good man, and will never do that which destroys the people. ”
"It's nature. It's just that I'm just an outsider, how can I trust him?" Du Yangui replied, and there was a guess in his heart.
"So, could it be that Timbo is the man behind Manichaeism?"
Shang Ling was stunned for a moment, took out a jade pendant from his chest with some nostalgia, and said: "This is my deceased wife's belongings, and she has been carrying them with her since she died, if you give it to him, he may believe you." ”
"Thank you. ”
Du Yangui took the jade pendant and saluted respectfully.
Anyway, Shang Ling also helped him find a clue, so he naturally had to thank him.
After saying goodbye to Shang Ling, Du Yangui thought in his mind: "Maybe, I should go to Liujiazhuang?"
Do what you want, and when it comes to the early morning of the next day, Du Yangui said goodbye to everyone and came to the place where Liujiazhuang was located alone.
Compared with the appearance of the past, Liujiazhuang has changed a lot, the previous tents have long been knocked down, replaced by rows of mud houses, and the street has also been leveled, drainage channels and other things have been dug on both sides, and there is no messy scene before.
Stepping into it, Du Yangui was a little surprised, but in a few months in the future, this place has become like this?
"So where is Shang Yi?"
Walking in front of a person, Du Yangui opened his mouth and asked.
In order to avoid disturbing the place, Du Yangui deliberately disguised himself this time and did not reveal his identity, so no one here found his traces.
"Shang Yi, where he is!"
The man pointed to a small hill about a hundred feet away.
Du Yangui stared at it, and saw that several adobe houses appeared on the hillside at some point, and of course there was only one foundation, and the foundation had just been laid out with stones, waiting for the construction to begin.
And next to these adobes, there were also hundreds of people gathered. Although it was late autumn, they were bare-armed, shouting trumpets together, carrying burdens, ramming earth, it can be said that they were in full swing.
"Yes, it's almost winter, and if you don't build a house, I'm afraid you'll freeze to death. ”
After thinking about it for a while, Du Yangui understood why everyone looked like this.
There is no way, winter is coming, if they don't build a house, they will be directly exposed to the ice and snow, and there will be more people who are afraid of death.
"That's fine, at least you won't freeze to death. ”
Du Yangui felt a little relieved, if someone froze to death, he would definitely be held accountable as the governor of this place.
