One hundred and forty-three, the dead
The lights have been lit in Fangfei Garden, and where the breeze is blowing, there are various colored yarn lamps shaking everywhere, and it looks like a sea of stars from a distance. Shen Chen stood on the railing with his hands and looked at the scenery outside, and when he heard the movement, he turned his head and smiled at Wei An: "Coming?" ”
Wei An's hair was still a little damp, and there seemed to be a thin layer of fog in her eyes, making it difficult to see her emotions, but her voice was brisk: "Second Master Xie is probably a little more terrifying than we imagined." ”
She simply sat down opposite Shen Chen, frowning slightly: "Anyway, even if Second Master Xie hates Third Master Xie again, he shouldn't go to train a group of dead soldiers, right?" ”
Raising the dead is a great taboo and a great crime.
The original nobles were planted on the point of raising the dead, and they ended up being wiped out.
Second Master Xie already has such a precise plan, why do you still need to raise the dead?
Moreover, it is not an overnight thing to raise the dead, these people are all one by one, and it is very difficult to train them, and it will cost a lot of financial and material resources.
How did Second Master Xie do it?
The old lady of the Xie family died four years ago...... When he was still alive, it was impossible for Second Master Xie to bypass Old Lady Xie, the person in power, to use such a huge amount of silver taels.
In other words, it was only after the death of the old lady of the Xie family that the dead soldiers began to cultivate.....
He calculated that the third master Xie was two years late.
In the first two years, what did he do to train a group of dead soldiers, and he could start playing with Master Xie San's family like monkeys?
"Or rather, he's hitched a ride on." Shen Chen took Wei An's words, also frowned, leaned back on the gooseneck chair, and retracted his gaze to look at Wei An: "The only living mouth left, I have interrogated, is a real dead man, and he will simply seek death at the first opportunity." ”
The Linjiang Royal Mansion also trained such dead soldiers.
It's just that the number is limited.
Only King Linjiang alone could command more, and he and Chu Jingwu rarely even saw this group of people.
But Second Master Xie actually has it.
It's really worth scrutinizing.
Wei An smiled: "They refused to be arrested at the beginning, but He Sheng and Xue Song were not easy to deal with, and they had no way out, so they wanted to take poison and commit suicide." ”
"The only living mouth is that I reluctantly left it after I asked Cedar to choke his throat and make him spit out the poison pill."
No wonder it got muddy.
Shen Chen pursed his lips and said softly, "I will investigate this matter strictly." ”
Now it's not just the Xie family's grievances that involve Guard.
Second Master Xie is not so simple and difficult, they offended him by mistake and ruined his good deeds, but I am afraid that he will kill them next.
"Second Master Xie's ability is a bit excessive." Wei An hummed and said, "Although this person is dead, it is not that there are no clues left, they deliberately changed their clothes before they came, and changed into the clothes worn by dock workers." These garments ..... It was the shipwharf's bosses who gave it to the coolies, and they were charged two cents of silver for a set, and these people should have bought it from the coolies. You can ask Cedar to inquire if anyone has bought clothes from the boatmen, a dozen sets in all, and it is not a small number. ”
They want to buy, and the money they give will not be less, and there will always be some traces.
Shen Chen should be.
Outside, Han Feng had already knocked on the door to report: "Master Hou, county lord, Gongzi Xie is here." ”
Guardforce raised his eyes.
The road ahead is difficult and dangerous, but fortunately, there is hope.
It's like she didn't know the secrets of the Xie family and lost the opportunity, but she still saved her brother-in-law and them.
Thinking of this, she breathed a sigh of relief, stood up and whispered to Xie Liangcheng, "Brother Shi." ”
This title was still what Xie Liangcheng asked her to shout before, he said that he had no sister, she saved Xie Liangqing, and he regarded her as a sister from then on.
Everything is the same as in the previous life.
Xie Liangcheng was a little embarrassed, even if he had already freshened up and sorted out, but the situation in the past two months was too difficult, and the difficult environment was always extremely abrasive.
He burst out with a smile at Wei An, answered, pulled Xie Liangqing, who was cowering behind him, to him, patiently pointed at Wei An and asked him, "Who is this?" ”
Xie Liangcheng's meat that he couldn't afford to grow back had been reduced in the past two months of escape, and he looked at Wei An with a dull gaze for a while, and called out to his sister hesitantly.
He was mentally incomplete, no different from a child of three or four years old, and when he laughed, his eyes were clear and clean without distractions.
Even if there is something wrong with Master Xie San's mother, even Master Xie San is indirectly wrong, but this child is innocent.
Second Master Xie even went down.
Guard immediately answered, and when he saw him approaching, he touched his head.
Shen Chen had already opened his mouth to let them all sit down, but Zhao Qi didn't dare, knelt on the ground and pleaded guilty with Wei An.
Guard gently asked him to get up.
Xie Liangcheng is the old master of Zhao Period, and it is reasonable for him to save Xie Liangcheng.
And if it weren't for him, I'm afraid the Xie brothers might not survive.
But Zhao Qi didn't get up, and stubbornly pleaded guilty to Wei An: "My subordinates went to Yongzhou Mansion without informing him, which must have brought you a lot of trouble......"
Wei An interrupted him bluntly, handed Xie Liangqing a piece of glutinous rice cake, and shook his head: "I know that at that time, you have already found out that Second Master Xie sent someone to follow you, not to mention that you have no chance, I am afraid that if you decide to stay first and wait for me to come back from Puci'an, you will really make a mistake." Get up. ”
Zhao Qi pursed his lips, kowtowed to Wei An three times, got up and stood aside and waited for Wei An to ask.
Xie Liangcheng's face was pale, but he still insisted on telling Wei An everything along the way.
He received the news that Xie Liangqing had encountered robbers in Yongzhou Mansion and rushed over, took his father's name and planned to go to the Yongzhou prefect for help, who knew that he had just entered Yongzhou territory, and was sold by the local Xiang Kou and fell into the hands of bandits.
He was not mistreated after that.
The bandits revered him as a scholar and asked him to stay and help them keep their accounts.
The younger brother is in their hands, and the people around him are gone, so he can only stay there and make a false promise to the bandits.
Who knew that in just a few months, this group of bandits was surrounded and suppressed by the government.
When the bandits were running around, no one cared about him, he originally planned to escape, but he was caught by the officials, and was identified as an accomplice by the captured bandits.
The subordinates who had not seen him before also came out to testify against him, saying that he was Xie Liangcheng, the eldest son of the third room of the Xie family in Jingxi.
