One hundred and forty-two miscalculations
Finally had time to deal with the wound on his shoulder, because the action in the fight just now was too violent, the wound was still bubbling with blood, Wu Zheng had to pick up the trouser leg that was torn off by Wu Jizong just now and bandage it simply.
Of course, Wu Zheng will not forget the original intention of coming here. It's just that at this time, the sky outside is already dark, and there is no longer a faint light reflected at the entrance of the dark passage, and Wu Zheng, who has no fire on his body, can only grope a little bit in the dark passage. Until I walked to the end of the pit that had been engraved with the "Nine Styles of Lingxiao" mantra, and now it had been filled with gravel and soil, I still found nothing, so I had to return the same way.
Wu Zheng, who was going to take Wu Jixue's body out, when he came close and bent down, he suddenly found that only Wu Jixue's body was left on the ground, and Wu Jizong, who was unconscious, was nowhere to be seen by himself just now.
Originally, many questions that bothered me in my heart were intended to be answered by Wu Jizong's mouth, how could Wu Zheng be willing? !
Because there was no other exit in the dark passage, Wu Zheng hurriedly picked up Wu Jixue's body on the ground and sneaked into the entrance of the secret passage, first threw the corpse in his hand to the bank, and then turned back to the river.
Wu Zheng, who already knew that he was not afraid of snake venom and had no worries in his heart, whether it was upstream or downstream, he had to find three or four miles of land before giving up.
I came to the shore with a stupid heart, and just put on the long shirt that was placed on the shore, I saw lanterns and torches coming towards me in the distance. Knowing that it was his uncle Ning Yunju who hadn't seen him go back for a long time, he sent his men to look for him. So, he hurriedly dragged Wu Jixue's body to meet him.
"Sir?"
"Lord Wu?"
It was Wu Gang and Zhong Liqun who came to meet them.
"General Zhongli, this is Wu Jixue's corpse. ”
Zhong Liqun hurriedly asked his subordinates to lift the corpse on the ground, and asked Wu Zheng as he walked towards the castle.
"Where did Wu Xuezheng find Wu Jixue? Lord Ning was already anxious when he saw that Lord Wu was gone. ”
"Sorry to worry everyone. When I get back to the fort, I'll see Lord Ning. Let's tell me more about what happened just now. ”
As soon as I returned to the fort, before I reached the door of the house, I saw four or five figures standing outside the door. Knowing that it was his uncle Ning Yunju, who was worried about his safety, Wu Zheng couldn't help but speed up his pace.
"Wu Xuezheng is finally back. What's going on, who did it? Is it serious?"
Seeing the wound on Wu Zheng's shoulder at a glance, Ning Yunju asked with concern.
The student made Lord Ning worried. It's just a flesh wound, it's not serious. Let's ask Lord Ning to come inside. ”
Back in the courtyard together, Ning Yunju asked who the corpse that was carried in by his subordinates was.
"It's Wu Jixue. ”
After entering the room and taking a seat, Wu Zheng spoke:
"I just went to the Water Snake Bay that was sunk in the pond, and I wanted to find answers to a few questions, but I didn't want to accidentally meet Wu Jixue, Wu Jizong and Luo Jiutian in the dark passage at the bottom of the pond. ”
This clock outliers interjected:
"No wonder the last general couldn't find any trace of Wu Jixue and Wu Jizong, it turned out that they were hidden there. What about Wu Jizong and Luo Jiutian?"
Wu Zheng immediately recounted the scene in detail.
"Who could have stolen Wu Jizong from the unconscious?"
"Nine times out of ten, it's still Wu Gan. ”
"Why didn't Luo Jiutian go and come back?"
"If Luo Jiutian had the heart to save Wu Jizong, he wouldn't have slipped away alone. So, it shouldn't be him. ”
"Zhong Liqun. ”
"The end will be. ”
"Eight hundred miles is urgent, and it is quickly reported to the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Punishment. Draw pictures and graphics, and arrest Luo Jiutian, Wu Jizong and Wu Gan all day long. ”
"Yes. ”
After Zhong Liqun agreed to leave, Ning Yunju continued to ask Wu Zheng.
"What is the question that needs to be found out there?"
"After sinking into the pond that year, he was dragged into a dark passage by a giant snake. Nine Deaths finally escaped from Shekou, and accidentally found a pit engraved with martial arts secrets in it. Therefore, students want to know whether the giant snake was artificially raised to guard the secret exercises in the dark cave, and who carved the exercise secrets. ”
"Your martial arts come from that martial arts secret?"
"Exactly. ”
Ning Yunju did not continue to ask questions about this, after all, it involved the secrets of the exercises. Even if the two are uncles and nephews, Ning Yunju, who was born as a military general. I still know a lot of taboos.
"It's a pity that Wu Jizong escaped, otherwise you can unlock the secret of your father's death. ”
"Wu Youren doesn't know?"
I don't know, no matter how he was interrogated, Wu Youren always insisted that he didn't know. ”
"This possibility is not impossible, Wu Youren is just a puppet, and the person who is really in power in Wujiabao is Wu Jizong. Even Wu Jixue can only be regarded as Wu Jizong's follower. ”
When the two said this, Zhong Liqun, who had gone and returned, walked in again, clasped his fists and bowed and said:
"Two adults, eight hundred miles have been sent out urgently. In addition, Liu Chaofeng of Liulinbao has also arrived. ”
"Good. Wu Xuezheng. Let's go and hear about it. ”
After speaking, Ning Yunju stood up first and walked towards the outside of the house.
Zhong Liqun hurriedly took a few steps from behind, crossed in front of the two of them, and led the way towards the Wu family ancestral hall. And Wu Gang, who had been standing in the courtyard, also followed behind Wu Zheng.
At this time, Wu Gang felt a little guilty in his heart, and he came to ask in the afternoon, but Wu Zheng didn't let him go to the ancestral grave to worship and sweep together, and drove him back home. So I didn't come back again until after dinner, but I heard that Wu Zheng had left since sunset and never came back. After thinking about it for a while, he guessed that Wu Zheng was very likely to go to Water Snake Bay, so he took Zhong Liqun and his men to find it. No, as soon as he saw Wu Zheng, he found the injury on his shoulder, which naturally made Wu Gang, who regarded himself as Wu Zheng's follower, feel that it was caused by his dereliction of duty.
As soon as he walked to the street, he didn't go far before he was blocked by Wu Youjin and his wife who were kneeling on the street, as well as Xie Miaoying.
Knowing that this was Wu Zheng's hometown, Zhong Liqun would not easily ask his subordinates to drive the three away, but turned his head to ask Ning Yunju, and Ning Yunju looked at Wu Zheng sideways, meaning to let Wu Zheng watch it.
"Grandpa, grandma, sister of the Xie family, you get up first. If we have something to say, let's go to the ancestral hall to talk about it. ”
Wu Zheng stepped forward to help Xie Miaoying up, and then turned around and shouted Wu Gang, who was following behind.
After Wu Gang stepped forward and helped Wu Youjin and his wife up, he helped the husband and wife to follow behind Ning Yunju and Wu Zheng, and slowly walked towards the ancestral hall.
At this time, Wu Zheng was a little embarrassed. Wu Youjin and Xie Miaoying obviously came to intercede for Wu Lishan. However, no matter what, grandma died at the hands of Wu Lishan. Even if you don't care about what Wu Lishan did to herself, grandma's revenge can't go unavenged.
According to the law, even a mistake causing death is a serious crime, and although it is not enough to be executed, it is inevitable that it will be sent to a remote and bitter cold place to serve in the army.
The world knows that nine times out of ten, those who have been sent to serve in the army will not be able to come back alive. Even if he can survive until the day he returns, he will already be in his twilight years, and compared with the death penalty, he will only suffer a few more decades of crimes. (To be continued.) )
