Chapter 332: Mount Hefei (2)(2/3)
However, there were people in the East Factory who were practicing erratic. Seeing that they were dying, they simply refused to fight back. They headed straight to the mission target and tried to kill Wang Yue and the other three, which was considered to be a profit.
This change was beyond the expectations of Wang Jianzi and others. Although the man was finally killed, both Wang Yue and Fan Heng were injured to varying degrees.
Xu Zhi, who was closest to that person, was the most unlucky, and his arm was cut off. If it weren't for Changshou's pulling, he would have been cut off half of his body.
When Wang Jianzi left, Xu Zhi had a high fever in the guest room of the county government office. The small county town lacked medical treatment and medicine, and I don’t know if he could survive.
"The idea has been arranged long ago. I have wiped out a small hill nearby and hid the corpse nearby. I think I am going to be Wang Yue and the others, and throw some corpses over and pretend to be a bandit. Unfortunately, the corpse was finally for themselves."
Wang Jianzi said coldly, and a chill flashed in his eyes, "Eunuch Wang is alive, so he said he should burn it, don't leave his body. Then Eunuch Fan is really a ruthless character, telling us to chop all the people in the East Factory and throw them on the mountain to feed the wolf..."
"More than that," he paused, his voice lowered a little: "I know we are the people of Eunuch Liu... Eunuch Fan asked us to do all the living around him. They are all his own people. I looked so furious that no matter how cruel we run around the world, we will never touch our own people."
Shen Rui couldn't help but shudder.
Although it is to keep it confidential, it really treats human life as if it is a mustard of grass.
"I discussed with Brother Gao and Brother Changshou. The three of us have each made a few clever ones, put on the clothes of our followers to protect Wang Yue and the others, and then went south to Nanjing to find a way to escape. The rest of them scattered and did not return to Beijing first, and avoided the limelight before going back to the limelight. Brother Changshou said that he would not show up here. As Second Master, you told me before, his people would go in several batches, go back to Songjiang first, and wait for Second Master in Songjiang."
Wang Jianzi smiled again and pointed at himself and said, "My brother said I would follow Er Master first, so that I can worship the mountain and burn incense along the way, and make some good relationships for Er Master. In the future, there is no harm in using Er Master if I don't use it."
When Shen Rui heard this, he knew that he wanted to put aside Du Laoba and dig out a few more people in the world, and it was probably in Du Laoba's eyes. However, there was nothing to say about this. It was understandable that he wanted to cultivate some of his own powers, and Du Laoba didn't have to pick on this.
Now Du Laoba sent Wang Jianzi to help him, which is also a kind of show of goodwill.
After Wang Yue's incident, Shen Rui and Zhang Hui and Du Laoba were actually on the same boat.
Shen Rui thought it through and smiled, bowed and thanked him, accepting Du Laoba's "goodwill".
Because he asked about the follow-up treatment, the key to Wang Yue's incident was that Liu Jin could not be traced back to them.
Because it was the East Factory, there might be an inspection by the Jinyiwei in the future. I remember that in the history of the previous life, not long after, the Jinyiwei changed the commander, and the factory guards all fell into Liu Jin's bag.
Faced with such a full-time spy, if you do something a little unclear, it may cause trouble.
In this way, Fan Heng's ruthlessness is also a good protection.
What a confidant, he was kicked out of the palace, and it is hard to say whether he is truly "self-benefiting others".
Only dead people who can't speak are the safest.
"The capital of the corpse is chopped and thrown into the mountains by Eunuch Fan." Wang Jianzi is a fighter who started running around the world in his teens. He saw a lot of blood and was famous for his cold blood. When he talked about corpses, he was as easy as smashing a walnut.
It was of great importance. Shen Rui endured the discomfort in his stomach and forced himself to listen to every word he said.
As Wang Jianzi said, Dongchang chose to kill a group of bandits as scapegoats in order to cover up his movements, but in the end these were used by Wang Jianzi and others.
All the people in the East Factory were chopped up and left separately in the place where wild beasts appeared in the mountains.
The injured people on Wang Jianzi's side were cremated and taken away ashes.
Wang Yue and his other murdered guards and servants were regarded as victims, while the corpses of the bandits were placed on the scene as bandits who robbed the road, leaving such a scene for the officials who came later.
As Brother Gao expected, there was a fight in such a remote little place, from the government to the people, they didn't even dare to watch the bustle. They closed the doors and windows and hid indoors, trembling and prayed that the thieves would not come to their homes.
After Wang Jianzi and his group finished all the work, they pretended to be followers to protect Wang Yue and Fan Heng, and carried Xu Zhi, who was unconscious in blood, into the city to the county government, the county magistrate and the county magistrate came out to greet him timidly. When they heard that the bandits were beaten away by the garrison of the emperor, the county magistrate dared to take the constable and coroner to check the scene.
"No one knows our identity except Eunuch Wang and Eunuch Fan. Eunuch Wang and Eunuch Fan thought they had entrusted Brother Gao to something. When I came south to deliver the letter, someone from the Duke's Mansion had already brought it back to Beijing." Wang Jianzi said, "As for our brothers, they didn't know what they were going to do before they came out. They all came to the place to explain their work and did not tell who they were. Don't worry, my brother has always been kind and righteous, and he would pay for his life before doing things. The dead and injured brothers' family will only be grateful and will not ask questions."
Shen Rui thought about it carefully, then repeatedly asked Wang Jianzi's details, and confirmed that there were no clues left, so he completely felt relieved.
"Thank you so hard, hurry up and rest. I will tell you with my two clan brothers tomorrow, and you will follow us. If others ask, you will just say that you are coming from the capital to deliver a letter to me." Shen Rui said to Wang Jianzi with a gentle voice.
During these days, Zhang and Shen and Rui sent messages frequently, and others would not be suspicious.
After sending Wang Jianzi away, Shen Rui invited Chen Ying over and told him the matter briefly.
When Chen Ying heard that Wang Yue had something to take back to Beijing, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's not in vain to do this. Then I'll see Eunuch Liu."
After thinking for a moment, he said, "Since the emperor sent Wang Yue and others to Nanjing, he would show mercy and spare them. Liu Jin's honor, disgrace and authority depended on the emperor's kindness, and he did not dare to disobey the emperor's will. Even if he suffered a great loss in this robbery, he would not dare to make a statement, nor would he dare to investigate it with great fanfare. If the emperor knew that he was doing this with the emperor on his back, his future would be gone."
"Wang Yue has been in the Sili Supervisory Office for many years and was in charge of the East Factory before. It is not surprising that there are people to protect each other. Moreover, the Duke of England not only has a bad relationship with Wang Yue, but it can even be said to have a grudge. Although it was Qiu Ju's provocation, it was Wang Yue who took charge of his nephew and the third master of the Duke of England. Liu Jinqiu Ju never thought of the Duke of England. Our family has never been involved with them, and we have had a good relationship with Mr. Zhang Yong. Recently, there have been many friends and blood, and they have no clones, so they will not think of the ones on us."
Shen Rui nodded frequently and sighed: "I think so too. I just fear that a hundred secrets will reveal my flaws."
Chen Ying patted his shoulder and said, "There is no need to think about that much. The matter is over. Now they are having a headache. Since Wang Yue is not dead, how can he not deal with them? They are afraid that they will not start to check anything for a while. After a few months, everything will be cleaned up when they are exposed."
*
Several heavy snowfalls this winter slowed down the trip of the three Shen brothers, and it was already past Laba that they entered Nanzhili.
Chen Jin couldn't help but feel anxious.
Although it was too long to send a letter to Beijing and wait for him to return, Zhang Lao'an would not stop his soul for so many days before he was buried. Even if it was winter, some ice corpses could be stored, it would not last forty-nine days.
But as a heavy-grabber, it is still very inappropriate for Chen Jin to refuse to return.
Unlike Shen Rui, Chen Jin has real feelings for his grandmother Zhang Lao'an.
Although he admitted that Zhang Lao'an was a little confused when he was old, when he was young, his grandmother treated him sincerely and put him first in everything. Although he was a concubine's son, he did not receive any resentment at all because of his status as a concubine. - Of course, this is naturally the key to the completely different attitudes between him and Shen Rui towards Zhang Lao'an.
In my heart, Chen Jin really wanted to hurry back and see off his grandmother for the last journey.
But with such road conditions, no matter how anxious he is, he can't do anything.
He once learned from Shen Rui to abandon the bike and ride a horse, hoping to move faster, but he had no foundation in kung fu. After riding for a while, his legs hurt and his waist was hard and sore, so he had to return to the car.
Chen Ying also saw Chen Jin's anxiety like this.
He also understood this feeling very well, just like when his father passed away, he was desperate to rush back, so he was not easy to say what he comforted him, and he also felt that it was useless to persuade him.
Although Shen Rui hated Zhang Lao'an and recently left Chen Jin because of the Shouning Marquis' Mansion, he couldn't help but sigh when he saw Chen Jin like this, and finally he came forward to persuade Chen Jin.
"It's useless for Brother Jin to be anxious. If the cold land is cold today, it's most susceptible to wind and cold. If you don't take good care of it and fall ill, wouldn't it delay the trouble? The fourth old lady has already been buried in peace, and she can only hope that Brother Jin will be better. How can Brother Jin make the old man uneasy?"
Although it was obviously mostly polite words, after hearing Shen Rui's words, Chen Jin still looked grateful and shouted "Rui Ge'er" with some sobs, but shook his head and couldn't continue to say it.
Shen Rui was clear about his alienation, and he didn't want to go back to save him, but he knew that he could not even get back the temper of a 9-ox, so he had to admit it, thinking that no matter what, this is his own brother, as long as he always upholds this heart.
This was the first time since he got involved in Shen Rui's conspiracy, and Chen Jin didn't know what to say for a moment.
He calmed down his emotions and finally said, "Brother Rui, grandmother has gone. I feel uncomfortable in my heart. I always want to do something for her. Don't worry, I can save it myself."
Shen Ruiyimo, no longer said anything.
Chen Jin is a kind of kindness that is naturally in his bones. Even if he sees the evil side of human nature, he often chooses to be tolerant.
Although Shen Rui looked down on him, he felt that it was often different from good and evil, but he had to admit that such kindness made Chen Jin look much safer - no one was willing to deal with a naturally evil person, right?
Although there were only a few words in this conversation, the relationship between the two brothers seemed to have broken the ice. When they communicated on a daily basis, the sense of alienation also went a lot.
In late December, the three brothers finally entered the Songjiang border.
It is inconvenient to wear filial piety during the trip, and there are also many shop owners who are taboo, so the three of them only wear plain clothes when they are on the way. At this time, the door of the house is close to them, and the three of them change into formal mourning clothes in the car.
The clan leader Chen Qi sent people to greet the post stations at various intersections early. A servant here received the person, and someone rushed back to the fifth room to report the news. Chen Qi and Chen Quan rushed to meet him in a hurry.
Everyone had seen each other, but they could not speak, and according to etiquette, they first led them to Chen Ying and Shen Rui to the fourth room.
Mr. Zhang had been buried for many days, and his spiritual shed was also removed, leaving only tablets in the small family ancestral hall.
There are many things to pay attention to when visiting the grave, especially with Chen Jin, the newly returned grandson, who had to choose a special day. Therefore, Chen Qi first brought Chen Ying and Shen Rui to the fourth room and Zhang Lao'an's tablet to burn incense.
Chen Yuan stood in the small Buddhist temple and could see that he had lost weight at first glance, and his body was more haggard. When he walked in, he saw that his face was dark and his green marks were heavy.
Chen Jin called out "Father", while Shen Rui said "Uncle Yuan" with Chen Ying.
Chen Yuan looked at Chen Jin and brothers Shen Rui, with a complicated expression. After a moment of silence, he slowly raised his hand and said, "Let's burn incense."
Chen Ying took Shen Rui to incense, and said a few words of grief and sorrow were polite, and then said that she had not returned home to see her mother, so she said goodbye first.
Chen Yuan was locked in the clan temple for more than a year and became much more honest. Seeing that Chen Ying was still a little afraid, he responded and let them go.
When Chen Ying and Chen Qi walked, Chen Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, as if he had moved away some heavy object on his shoulder and suddenly could straighten his waist.
He looked at Chen Jin and couldn't help but show my momentum, pulled out his waist, coughed, and said, "Your marriage is my father but I only heard about it later..."
Chen Jin suddenly looked up at Chen Yuan, his eyebrows were locked in the character Chuan. If it weren't for the father's "selling his son for money" how his marriage would have been so difficult!
No matter how good his temper was, Chen Jin couldn't help but cut off his father's words coldly and said: "My son's marriage is his son's master. Former Minister of Personnel Zhang Yuanzhen and Zhang are the matchmaker, and the Empress Dowager himself is the matchmaker of the woman. I believe the master has heard of it."
He no longer called his father, but instead called him the master, and then threw out such a loud name.
Chen Yuan immediately said hoarsely, and after a while, he said again: "Wife, are you back with you?"
"It is not easy to walk on the snowy day, so the female family took a car to change to slow down. My son rode alone and came back to see his grandmother first." Chen Jin replied. He asked again: "Madam, we went ahead before us, but have you arrived at home?"
Seeing that everything in the four rooms was well-off, he knew that Little He must have come back long ago. When he asked, he was just looking for a step and stopped talking to Shen Yuan on the grounds of visiting him in the past.
Chen Yuan's expression changed slightly, and after a while, he said, "I'm back. Your grandfather is here today, so I'll see you in the back hall."
Grandmaster Chen Jin was slightly stunned, and then realized that it was Xiao He's father. Grandpa He Jiu came over, responded in a low voice, turned around and left.
Just after crossing the threshold, Chen Yuan sighed and muttered to himself: "...It's a blessing that he is in the Hanlin Academy. It's cheaper to go back to the Hanlin Academy again, so there is no need to bother to make a flaw..."
Chen Jin stood firm and turned around and looked at him. Chen Yuan stood in front of Zhang Lao'an's tablet, and the regret on his face had not been taken back.
The flesh on Chen Jin's face shook unconsciously. When his grandmother passed away, his father thought that his son could still be kept by his official position.
He gritted his teeth tightly, but still couldn't hold on to the sentence, "The master is afraid that he has not received the latest letter. His son has transferred the Youchunfang Youyude of the Zhanshi Mansion. However, he has caught up with Ding You. He will resume his plans for the Zhanshi Mansion in the future. He is afraid that he will not be able to go wherever he wants to go."
Chen Yuan's face also changed with Chen Jin's words. He heard that Zhan Shifu was both surprised and happy at first, and opened his mouth slightly. Then he learned that the duck in his hand had flew away. His eyes suddenly widened, with a look of surprise, and then he was disappointed.
He blurted out: "If I had known this..."
