Chapter 64: Mass Burial Mounds
Suzhou Prefecture Prison.
Since that night prison robbery incident, Su Zhengyuan has strengthened his vigilance against the prison. Zhao Langjiang asked Head Ye for help, but the other party stammered and did not dare to accept it. The matter of finding someone had to be temporarily stranded. Zhao Langjiang thought that it would not be a problem to continue like this, so he decided to go out first.
In the past few days, Fan Wuchang found the feeling of being the boss, and was very comfortable being served by several younger brothers. At this time, he was closing his eyes and resting in the sun. Several younger brothers were by his side, pressing his waist and rubbing his legs. Zhao Langjiang walked over and waved his hands to support the few people away.
Fan Wuchang said: "There is still here, the strength should be heavier."
Zhao Langjiang pressed his hands on his waist, and with a slight force, Fan Wuchang screamed, "You don't want to live anymore, believe it or not, I'll let Boss Zhao slash you?" Zhao Langjiang smiled, "I want to know how I slash myself."
When Fan Wuchang heard that it was Zhao Langjiang, he rose up and said in a hint: "So it's you."
"I have learned to be arrogant after just a few days?"
Fan Wuchang smiled and said, "I don't have the right to do it, it will be invalid if it expires."
Zhao Langjiang said, "Don't cover it, prepare for it, and go out tonight."
"Solved the case?"
Zhao Langjiang was speechless, "It's a prison escape."
Fan Wuchang waved his hand, "This is absolutely impossible. Think about it, you are alone, you escape from the prison and find a place to hide. The world is happy and free. I am still taking my family with my family. If I really escape, I will be worth 100,000 taels, which is not ruined?"
Zhao Langjiang whispered, "Tell you something unfortunate."
"What's wrong?"
"Yesterday, your Xiaoyao Inn was seized by the government for suspected hiding imperial prisoners."
Fan Wuchang jumped up and came to the gate like crazy, pulling the prison door and shouting, "Let me out! Let me out!" Seeing this, a prison head hit his hand with a killing stick, asking him to retract his hand, "What are you shouting?"
"I want to see Su Zhengyuan!"
The prison chief cursed, "Rareless, why did you meet Lord Su at any time?"
Fan Wuchang ignored him and thumped the prison door wildly. Seeing this, Zhao Langjiang felt a little reluctant. If he went like this, Fan Wuchang would go crazy before nightfall. He stepped forward and punched him out, dragged him back. After a while, the prison leader said, "Zhao Langjiang, someone is here to find you."
The visitor is Li Qingcheng.
In the past few days, Li Qingcheng has mobilized all the forces of the Li family in Suzhou, and even used the Beggars' Sect's relationship to cooperate with Su Zhengyuan to investigate the murder of Vancouver, but he had no clue. He also felt strange that he had almost searched through the huge Suzhou city, but he could not find Vancouver's body. However, he learned about Mi Xin from a source of information and came to Zhao Langjiang to discuss it.
"What's the progress of Xiao Jinyan's investigation before leaving?"
Zhao Langjiang couldn't stand Li Qingcheng's arrogant and domineering behavior, and said coldly, "Will I tell you if there is any progress? What did you find out about Lord Wen's case?"
Li Qingcheng also said, "This is my business."
The two of them never dealt with each other very much. Without Xiao Jinyan's presence, they were in a deadlock after saying a few words. Li Qingcheng was a little angry. He stood up and was about to leave. "I got a piece of news that Chu Bieli, the second prince of Western Chu who disappeared twenty years ago, was locked in this prison."
When Zhao Langjiang heard this, he also knew that the matter was of great importance. "Is this the person Xiao Jinyan asked me to find?"
Li Qingcheng said, "This matter was sent to Xiao Jinyan by Dengwenyuan. He probably didn't know the reason." "What do I need to do?"
Li Qingcheng was silent for a moment and said slowly, "Find him and kill him."
"Why?"
"Recently, Suzhou City has loose outside and tight inside, and many people from the world have come. As far as I know, there are still many spies from Western Chu. If I guess correctly, the battle between Chu Kuangdao and Li Qiuyi was on the surface to avenge the revenge of the sword twenty years ago, but in fact it is very likely that it was for this person."
Zhao Langjiang thought about that night, Yang Xiaoxiao and others rushed to the prison at night, and knew that Li Qingcheng was right.
Li Qingcheng said again, "No matter what the purpose of the people from Western Chu come, this matter cannot be successful. The most direct way is to find Chu Bieli and kill him. In this way, this matter is just a pure matter in the world."
Zhao Langjiang asked back, "Does Xiao Jinyan know?"
Li Qingcheng wanted to speak but stopped. A day ago, the second inscription from the Li family in Jinling personally ran to Suzhou and conveyed this order to him. The second inscription has been retired for many years and rarely appears in the world. But Li Xiaohua sent him to send him a message, so naturally something he didn't know happened. Li Qingcheng was the heir to the head of the Li family, and he never dared to disobey the instructions issued by the family.
"have no idea."
Zhao Langjiang said, "Then wait. By the way, how about the Golden Knife King these days?"
Li Qingcheng shook his head, "I'm not in a good mood."
"He is afraid that he can't beat Chu Kuangdao?"
"That's not, his business in the restaurant has not been very good lately."
Li Qingcheng walked towards the door.
Zhao Langjiang suddenly said, "Prepare a banquet for me tonight."
"how?"
Zhao Langjiang said: "Cheer me up. Chu Kuangdao is about to enter the city. I don't want to miss this shocking battle."
Li Qingcheng said: "Look."
...
Li Qingcheng returned to Xiaoyao Inn. During this period, Xiaoyao Inn had him in charge. Not to mention Su Zhengyuan, even Zhao Jinlian would not have the idea of it. However, since Fan Wuchang was arrested, the inn's business has been getting worse day by day. When several friends heard that the boss had a lawsuit, they all resigned.
Little Red Fish was lying on the desk and writing something. When he saw Li Qingcheng coming back, he put it away and put it in his arms.
"Have you seen Zhao Langjiang?"
Li Qingcheng nodded.
"How is he?"
Li Qingcheng said, "It still looks like he deserves a beating." Li Qingcheng didn't stop and was about to go upstairs. Suddenly, "The city has been in chaos these two days, so don't go out casually."
Little Red Fish asked inexplicably, "Why?"
Li Qingcheng said lightly, "Chu Kuangdao is about to enter the city, and there are people from Taihu Water Village who have been looking for you. If you don't want your secret to be exposed, I suggest you try to go out as little as possible." Xiao Hongyu was shocked when he heard this and secretly held the weapon, "Li Qingcheng, what do you mean?"
Li Qingcheng did not answer and pushed the door into his room.
After a conversation just now, Xiao Hongyu felt guilty and worried. She wanted to confess to Xiao Jinyan about the secret of the "Martial Classic", but for some reason, she had several words to her mouth, but she couldn't say them. Thinking that she was just a chess piece in Yuwen Tianlu's hand, Xiao Hongyu felt a little hurt.
After Li Qingcheng entered the house, he never came out again. After a moment, Shutong Qingcao came in from outside the door, brought a food box, and came to find Xiaohongyu, "Sister Hongyu, I've gone to buy you some delicious food, come and try it!"
Little Red Fish said angrily, "Who wants it!"
Qingcao was inexplicably angry and confused. She thought that she had not said anything too much. She carried the food box and said nothing. Seeing that the tone was a little heavy, Xiaohongyu looked a little relieved, "Sister is in a bad mood, it has nothing to do with you."
Qingcao said, "When I am in a bad mood, I like to eat."
Little Red Fish waved her hand, "I'll go out for a walk."
As soon as she left the house, Xiao Hongyu realized that she was being targeted by the people from Taihu Water Village. She pretended not to know, and circled around the city, and walked out of the city before dark. She came to the mass grave in the north of the city.
There are mass graves around the north of the city.
The wealthy families in the city were usually buried in the Taiping Temple in the west of the city after their death, and tablets were placed in the family ancestral hall. This mass grave was different. More than ten years ago, a plague occurred in Suzhou City, killing more than 3,000 people. At that time, in order to prevent the spread of the plague, the government buried the dead in the north of the city and burned it with quicklime. Later, another flood occurred, and some white bones were washed out and exposed, and the wind and sun were exposed, so the name was a mass grave.
This place is extremely remote, and ordinary people rarely come here.
The little red fish suddenly stopped and turned around.
The person who followed them was the four Taihu Water Village people who had dinner at Xiaoyao Inn that day.
The little red fish stopped at once, and the four of them had no worries. They pulled out their weapons and surrounded Xiaohongyu in the center. "Little girl, you killed our second leader and hid in Xiaoyao Inn. The sky has eyes. Today we finally got us to catch you. Brothers, today is the day to avenge the second leader."
Little Red Fish looked around and said something good.
A man from the water village asked: "What's good?"
Xiao Hongyu sneered, "The Feng Shui here is good, it is suitable for you four tombs."
The man said angrily, "Diet to the point of death, and still..."
Before he could finish his words, Xiaohongyu took a step, his hand slashed and the short dagger pierced into the man's throat. The speed was so fast that he looked like a ghost. The other three people never expected that Xiaohongyu would use such a killer move. They were so scared that their legs were weak, and they rolled and crawled, running in three directions.
Xiao Hongyu was already bored, so she used her light skills to chase after her and killed two more.
When he chased behind the third person, the dagger was about to pierce out when suddenly a strong fist wind came towards him. The little red fish shouted in shock and quickly dodged to the side. The fist wind wiped her shoulders and led her more than ten feet away even though it didn't hit her.
The little red fish landed on the ground and saw that it was Wu Fatian, one of the eight evil kings.
"The surname of Wu, you are a tuberculosis man, a shameless villain!"
Before Wu Fatian spoke, he started coughing loudly and stood up for a long time, "I was almost deceived by you in Hanshan Temple before. Little Red Fish, where is the thing?"
Little Red Fish was so sad that she was in a very bad mood today. She wanted to bring people from Taihu Water Village to come here to finish the matter, but she did not expect that Wu Fatian would be the Yellow Bird. Although they were all working for Yuwen Tianlu, they fought openly and secretly within the Demon Sect, and for personal gain, it is common to live and die.
Little Red Fish’s martial arts skills were not as good as Wu Fatian. Seeing this, she smiled and said, “Master Wu, I think there are some misunderstandings between us.”
Wu Fatian said: "Everyone said you are cunning and lies. I won't believe what you say today. Either hand over the things, or I will kill you, search for you yourself, and you will choose the same."
Not far away, a voice laughed and said, "Master Wu, we are all believers of the Holy King of Light. At night, we bullied a junior in the mass grave. If it spreads, I'm afraid the reputation is not good, right?"
