Jiaohua

Chapter 1168 Zhu Chang is dead
Both Shen Lie and Dai Yu's mounts were in the bamboo hut to the east, and Ye Zheng had to rush back to the ashram to get them.

When they arrived at the Chen Family Ancestral Hall, there were more and more people watching the excitement inside and out, and it was almost impossible to pass through the traffic.

It was said that it was the Chen family ancestral hall, but in fact the Chen family ancestral hall had already been moved to the ground, and there was no secret passage underground, but two boxes of silver were found in the corner.

In front of the ruins, there were ten baskets of rats, and the rats were huddled together inside. There were three baskets of snakes beside them, coiled into a ball and knotted.

The people around were all yelling, saying that if they were not released, these snakes and rats would eat their own people.

The soldiers remained indifferent, waiting patiently for Shen Lie.

When the crowd finally parted, Shen Lie led his horse through, and Dai Yu and Ye Zheng followed behind him. Suddenly, thousands of people in front, left and right all looked at him.

"General Shen." Xia Jiajun's Ban Rong stepped forward and took the reins from Shen Lie.

Shen Lie looked towards the secret passage, and then at the mice and snakes.

"Do it." Shen Lie ordered.

The soldiers in the clearing took orders and poured the mice into the tunnel first. In an instant, hundreds of mice came out of their cages, rushing like a black waterfall into the tunnel like a black waterfall.

Some mice did not enter the secret passage, but were driven in by the soldiers with long flat rakes.

The crowd was in an uproar, became excited, and talked a lot.

When it was almost done, the soldiers poured the snake into the dark passage.

Snakes are used to eat mice.

Both mice and snakes are used to step on organs.

Time passed slowly, a quarter of an hour, two quarters of an hour, an hour, two hours...

The onlookers became increasingly exhausted. Seeing the setting sun burn the sky and the earth into an orange light, many people shouted and asked why they were still waiting.

Shen Lie stood with his hands behind his back, looking down at the secret passage, just like the soldiers around him, motionless.

More and more people couldn't wait any longer, clamoring that there was nothing to see and wasting time, and turned around and went home.

A fast horse came from the north.

Shen Lie finally raised his eyes, Dai Yu and Ye Zhengxian beside him were startled: "It's Wu Shaoning!"

The two walked quickly.

Since the heavy rain that day, Wu Shaoning, Wei Dongyou and Zhu Chang have been missing.

Du Xuan has sent a large number of people to search for it these days, but has been unsuccessful, and he is already in a hurry.

Wu Shaoning got off his horse, didn't care to catch his breath, first glanced at Dai Yu and Ye Zheng, and then ran to Shen Lie: "Master!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly knelt down and shouted again: "Master!"

Shen Lie frowned slightly, Dai Yu and Ye Zheng were frightened by his appearance.

"Wu Shaoning, speak well, what happened?" Dai Yu said.

At this moment, Shen Lie noticed the blood on Wu Shaoning's trousers, and his heart sank.

"Zhu Chang is dead," Wu Shaoning choked up, and looked up at Shen Lie, "He, he was divided into pieces by five horses."

Shen Lie's black eyes widened.

Dai Yu and Ye Zheng said in surprise, "What?"

The guards who heard this around gathered around one after another.

Wu Shaoning's voice trembled: "I rescued Wei Dongyou, but he was so frightened that he lost his speech."

"Help?" Shen Lie said.

"Yes, I found him at the foot of a hill. His hands and feet were all broken..."

Dai Yu let out a curse, and turned to Shen Lie with red eyes: "Master, I'm going back to the city to see him right now!"

Shen Lie's brows were cold, he thought about it, and looked at Ye Zheng: "Go to the Taoist temple quickly, and tell Du Xuan about this matter, just say that Wu Shaoning and the others are back, let's not talk about what happened to Zhu Chang. Ping Yuefeng will stay there Let him go back together with General Gao Lang and Zhang Zhiling of the Xia Family Army."

Ye Zheng was pale, nodded: "Yes."

Immediately turned around and ran to the side of the mount.

Shen Lie said to Dai Yu: "After Du Xuan comes back, you will go back to the city with Du Xuan. The person was sent by Du Xuan, and he will definitely feel guilty and blame himself for this matter. Therefore, your emotions must not be exposed, remember Take good care of Du Xuan."

Dai Yu's lips trembled, he could understand what Shen Lie meant, and he took the order with difficulty: "Yes, young master."

"Follow me." Shen Lie looked at Wu Shaoning.

Wu Shaoning raised his hand to wipe away his tears, and followed Shen Lie.

Dai Yu watched them walk to the other side of the ruins and stopped talking, and wanted to follow. He turned sideways to hold back his tears, and suddenly lifted his foot, kicking a fist-sized stone hard in front of him.

With a "bang", the stone happened to hit a small box on the ground not far away.

The chest was open, and it was full of silver.

Because of the impact of the stone, the silver collided with the box, making a lot of noise.

Dai Yu frowned, and suddenly saw the place where the box was kicked by the stone, and the sharp corner made a crack on the surface of the box.

Dai Yu raised his foot and wanted to go, but from the corner of his eye, he saw Shen Lie and Wu Shaoning looking over there.

Dai Yu pursed his lips, thinking of what Shen Lie had just said to him, he couldn't lift his head up, lowered his head, and found a place to sit down.

Shen Lie withdrew his gaze, and said to Wu Shaoning: "So, you didn't see how Zhu Chang was killed, you only saw his body."

"Put it in a big basket," Wu Shaoning said painfully. "There is no one around, and the big basket seems...as if it was meant to be seen by me. Young master, it may be a declaration of war to demonstrate to us. By the way, there is no village there." , there is no resident, and the rocky mountains are easy to set up traps."

"Did you bring Zhuchang's body back?" Shen Lie asked.

"Well, I brought it back."

Even the body parts are the complete body composition of an adult man, plus a Wei Dongyou, the journey is hard and unimaginable.

"You worked hard this trip." Shen Lie said seriously.

"It's not bitter," Wu Shaoning choked up, as if thinking of something, and said, "Oh, there is one more thing. After I sent Wei Dongyou back to the city, Ruan Guoliang was about to send someone out of the city to find the young master, so he simply asked me to take him with him. Words. Military newspapers were sent from outside, the Mouye battlefield started, and Tian Dayao's army stationed in Youzhou is likely to pass through Hengxiang. And... Yun Bozhong sent a letter of alliance, wanting to form an alliance with us. "

"How dare he think so much." Shen Lie said.

"And Miss Ali," Wu Shaoning continued, "Miss Zhao sent someone to say that Miss Ali woke up just before she was due, and something was wrong after she woke up. She didn't eat, so she rushed to the Yamen."

Shen Lie's handsome brows and eyes were worried, and his black eyes were full of complexities that Wu Shaoning couldn't understand.

"Later, you and Dai Yu will go back to the city together. After returning to the city, you go to rest and send others to Ali's side. She..." Shen Lie thought for a while and continued, "She may not be able to eat, you still need to eat. Find someone to go to Zhiyu Shuixie to find Master Li, and let Master Li make some Baihua Cake as soon as possible."

"Yes!" Wu Shaoning replied.

At the end of the response, seeing that Shen Lie was still worried, Wu Shaoning asked with concern: "Master...is there anything else?"

After a while, Shen Lie said, "You...send someone to find Zhao Gong again, he should be in Qu's mansion right now, and ask him if he has found any clues for that painting."

"En! Good!" Wu Shaoning responded.
