Chapter 222: A Trip to Fuyi Village, a Murder Case
Chapter 222: A Trip to Fuyi Village, a Murder Case
It was a dark and windy night in Yongchang County.
Two dark shadows walked among the mountains.
Across a mountain, the county seat of Yongchang County was completely silent. After the curfew, it became completely quiet.
Even in the spring mountains shrouded in darkness, there was still a refreshing scent. The two walked slowly among the mountains, talking.
The shorter black shadow said to the taller black shadow: "A storm is coming. Are you guys ready?"
"Don't worry, I'm ready, young master. I'm willing to go through fire and water for you." The tall and thin figure said with a smile.
"Of my father's former generals, you are the only one who escaped death. It is better to be alive."
"But Master, isn't this asking me to throw myself into this and die for you?"
"Did I say I was going to kill you?"
"But didn't the young master ask me to die? It was also me who came up with the idea of massacring Enji Manor. When the big case is closed, those people will not let me go."
The tall and thin black figure walked into the light, and the moonlight shone down, shining on his resolute face.
He is Zhou Qi, the head of Henan Province elected by more than 3200 anti-military forces in Henan Province. He issues orders on behalf of more than 3200 people in Henan Province in front of other leaders.
He had disappeared for several days and was walking back and forth under the moonlight, occasionally reaching out to pick a leaf.
"Master, no matter what you ask me to do, I will rush to the front without hesitation, because I am your most loyal servant."
"My old master gave me a bowl of rice when I was almost starving to death. I am willing to die in exchange for your great achievements."
Zhou Qi's face was full of sincerity. He believed this in his heart, even though his young master wanted to use his life to exchange for the lives of other anti-military members from the beginning.
"If I really wanted you to die, would you think you were blind and followed the wrong person?"
A slightly shorter black figure stood in the shadow of the tree, quietly looking at Zhou Qi outside bathed in the moonlight.
Zhou Qi turned to the black shadow and knelt on one knee: "General Zhou Qi, I am willing to go through fire and water for you, young master!"
"Well, I understand. You get up. Within two days, find a way to make the anti-military forces reveal their identities and intentions in Yongchang County."
"I will finally understand!"
"Let me ask you again, if I really wanted you to die, would you feel that you were blind and followed the wrong person?"
"I still say the same thing. I am willing to go through fire and water for you, even if I die!"
"Well, the next time we meet may be many years later. Now that this matter is over, you go to Wangwu Mountain and hide there, and develop your power in secret. I will need your help sooner or later."
"Yes."
"Also, once the anti-military forces are exposed, you must leave Henan Prefecture immediately."
"Yes!" Zhou Qi stood up and was about to leave, but stopped and turned back to look at the shadow under the tree. "Young Master, I have another question. In the past two days, many anti-military forces were secretly killed and their leaders were beheaded. I wonder if it has anything to do with you, Young Master."
"Maybe. Maybe someone noticed our whereabouts and killed the anti-military forces in advance."
"I will retire at the end!"
……
From night to dawn, we arrived at the Yongchang County Inn.
Li Cunxi got up from the bed and washed his face with the help of a servant with dark circles under his eyes.
While eating breakfast, Wu Yanhao asked curiously, "What happened to your eyes? Did you not sleep all night last night?"
"I didn't sleep well last night." Li Cunxi sighed, "The current situation is really getting more and more difficult to judge. The murderer can be basically confirmed to be Princess Taiping, and the situation has become much clearer. However, He Yun, the Flying Dragon Envoy, has disappeared, and the rebel forces are secretly eager to make a move. We are in the open, while the rebels are in the dark. Last night, there was news from Luoyang that Huang Shengyan interrogated Wang Zhiyuan. Before Wang Zhiyuan bit his tongue and committed suicide, he said that I was the mastermind behind the scenes."
"It's hard to judge." Wu Yanhao also sighed, "In the majestic Luoyang, at the feet of the emperor, a large number of rebels are gathering here, but we don't know how many enemies there are. If we rashly mobilize the army, it will easily cause panic."
"It's annoying. It would be best if the Left Weiwei, Right Weiwei and Left Longwuwei could be mobilized together."
Li Cunxi held his chin and began to imagine how majestic he would be with three large armies in his hands.
At that time, Fang Zhe will be in front of him, Wang Xiaojie will be on his left, and Quan Shancai will be on his right. The three generals will protect the front, left and right directions, and they will lead three armies of one hundred thousand people to look at the world with a coveted look.
Oh my god, the scene is so beautiful that I can’t even imagine it.
"Alas, this is the first time that there is no elder to help. The two of us are the main investigators. I didn't expect it to turn out like this."
Wu Yanhao put his forehead against the table and sighed.
What a rich young man wants to do most is naturally to achieve results and let his father see his abilities.
Ever since Wu Yanhao started hanging out with Li Cunxi, he felt that this future brother-in-law was awesome and that it would be a good idea for him to follow Li Cunxi. However, who knew that when the two of them worked independently on a case, it would turn out like this.
"What are you afraid of? As long as the anti-military forces gather here, they will definitely be in Henan Prefecture. We can investigate slowly and there will always be a chance."
Li Cunxi sat up straight, rolled his eyes, and said:
"Since there are no clues, it's time for us to find clues, right?"
"Today we will go out incognito and visit several villages and manors underground."
Wu Yanhao pulled himself together and said, "We should give it a try. Who knows, we might be able to find something."
They acted immediately and called Hu Jinghui, who was in charge of the Qianniu Guard's shifts, and brought four military leaders, Yang Fangrenkuo, Shen Tao and Xiao Bao. They also called back Li Yuanfang who was staying outside. They mounted their horses and headed towards the outside of Yongchang County.
After leaving Yongchang County, walk south for thirty miles and you will reach Fuyi Village. The village is divided into two sides, north and south. The south side is full of business people, while the north side is basically inhabitants, with no business people to be seen.
In the past years, many people came to Fuyi Village to sell Hu silk, hoping to get a good price so that they could return home in glory and continue the business the next year.
But even the county magistrate Zeng Tai didn't know when this farm became a business place.
On the official road leading to Fuyi Zhuang, several people were fleeing frantically. Ma Rong, holding a single knife behind his back, saw that there were few people on this side and rushed forward without saying a word and killed one of them first.
"Killing!"
A businessman who was rushing to Fuyi Zhuang to do business started shouting, and the escorts behind him all drew their weapons, ready to guard against an attack.
Ma Rong, who was a mile away, ignored this group of people. After all, apart from himself and a few rebels who were being hunted, there was only this group of businessmen on this road. They would just run away after killing people.
Ma Rong persistently caught up with the last rebel and chopped off his head with one blow.
After killing the man, Ma Rong took out a silk handkerchief from his arms and wiped the blood off the knife, then threw the handkerchief on the ground.
"It's done!"
