Yancheng.
City Lord's Mansion.
The young master of the city looked at a coffin placed in the yard, trembling with excitement.
Inside the coffin was Qiao Mu's body.
It was not appropriate to send him to the city lord's mansion, but he was restrained by the city lord and couldn't go out, so he had to order someone to bring Qiao Mu's body in.
"Your name is Qiao Mu, but your life is like nothing." Mr. Guo clapped his palms and said with a smile:
"It's so damn good! It's time to make it clear!"
He drank a glass of strong wine, and then ordered:
"Come here, open the coffin, I want to see how badly he died."
The servant next to him hesitated for a moment before opening the coffin.
As soon as the coffin lid was opened, a strong smell of blood came out. Mr. Guo leaned over to take a look, then took two steps back, his face turned pale.
The appearance of a corpse that died under thousands of knives is not very beautiful.
He retched twice and almost spit out the wine just now.
But seeing this tragic death, he could finish it all in one breath...how could it be so easy?
"Then Qiaomu, do you have any family members here in Yancheng?" Mr. Guo asked.
"There is only one blind girl in the family, only twenty years old." The servant replied.
For the Guo family, there are not many secrets in this city, so they can be found out.
"Blind girl? It's a pity that she can't see this person's death with her own eyes..." Mr. Guo sighed:
"That can only let her smell it."
Chapter 28 Chapter 27
City Lord's Mansion.
Mr. Guo was happily preparing to go out, with a group of servants behind him carrying the coffin on their shoulders.
He went out this time to meet the blind family member of Qiao Mu.
Although Qiao Mu died, he didn't die in front of his eyes, so he was happy, but not completely happy.
Then he planned to take the coffin and go to condolences to Qiao Canxue in person.
Just as he reached the door, he was stopped by a majestic voice.
"Stop, didn't I tell you to ground you for a month?"
It was the city lord Guo Yan who spoke. His body was still strong, like an iron tower, but his face was sickly pale at this moment.
"Father, I know how to measure, how can I cause trouble again?" Mr. Guo smiled apologetically:
"I want to die too. How can I provoke the emperor... How can I provoke such a stranger from other places with unknown background?"
Guo Yan is a man of considerable artifice and city power. A character like him can raise a dude, so naturally he is not less arrogant in his daily life.
He was firm at first, but after his only son had been soft and hard for a long time, Guo Yan finally waved him away impatiently.
"Ah Fu, follow him and don't let him cause trouble." Guo Yan ordered.
"Okay." Next to him, an old man in gray came out and followed Mr. Guo.
This gray-clothed old man was the one who grabbed Qiao Mu from behind on the long street before.
He has followed the city lord for many years, and he is already a seventh-rank martial artist. He is also a rare master in this city lord's mansion, and he is older and calm, so he is quite trusted by Guo Yan.
If a seventh-rank martial artist serves the country, he is equivalent to half a seventh-rank official, that is, he is half a level lower than the head of a county like the seventh-rank magistrate.
Therefore, there are only one or two such warriors in the City Lord's Mansion.
After Mr. Guo left, Guo Yan returned to the mansion, but coughed and vomited a mouthful of blood.
"Recently, it has been really troublesome." Guo Yan said to himself:
"Emperor Dayan is coming, and the old man Wang Songhe actually appeared in this area of Yancheng. Could it be that he also received relevant news and came here by smelling it?"
Thinking of that scribe, he was not without fear.
"It is said that people who practice Taoism enter the country slowly, and the time for each retreat is often counted in years."
"I heard that Wang Songhe started to abandon literature and follow the Tao after he was 40 years old, and now he can fight with me and lose both sides... If I knew this, what kind of sage books should I read, and what kind of civil servant should I be?"
He shook his head, but there was a faint uneasiness in his heart.
The emperor was approaching, and it was a critical moment, but he was injured at this time, which was not very good.
"Maybe it's time to find someone from the Immortal Gate, and it's time to ask for a talisman..." Guo Yan thought to himself.
Now, he doesn't have time to pay attention to his son's petty troubles.
As for the young righteous man Qiao Mu who threatened him face to face on the long street, he had long forgotten about it.
...............
outer city.
Old Huang Zheng, the monk and other three or five soldiers walked in this alley.
"The place where the boss lives is too remote, it's really hidden, and the road is quite difficult."
Lao Huang chatted casually with the bald monk soldiers and other sergeants beside him.
After a day, he also recovered from Qiao Mu's sacrifice.
It doesn't matter if you don't slow down, he is just an ordinary soldier, not to mention Qiao Mu, even if a close relative in his family dies, he will go to the barracks to train and stand guard as usual tomorrow.
The toilers only have time to earn money and work, how can they have time to play things that hurt the spring and the autumn?
"Old Huang, have you figured out how to speak later?" asked the monk Seng Bing next to him.
"It's not difficult to speak. After all, we have collected enough money today, not to mention rewarding the boss' sacrifice, at least we can have peace of mind."
Lao Huang weighed the heavy purse in his hand.
It took Lao Huang half a day to recover, and another half day to find nearly a hundred colleagues under Qiao Mu's command to pool a pension.
The pension should not have been paid by them sergeants, but by the Yancheng military camp.
But after what happened that day, Lao Huang and the others thought that Qiao Mu was not well received by Captain Chu and the others in the army, so it would be difficult to allocate the pension.
So they pooled a sum of money and prepared to hand it over to Qiao Canxue in the name of a pension.
On the one hand, at the beginning Qiao Mu repeatedly blocked the gun, which was a life-saving favor to the soldiers under his command.
On the other hand, Qiao Mu charged alone, and his last words before he died were to tell Lao Huang and the others not to follow and die.
At that time, Lao Huang and others listened to Qiao Mu's final order and did not rush.
They are also afraid of death.
Qiao Mu gave a step, and they stopped.
At first, I didn't quite understand why Qiao Mu risked his life, but after knowing that Qiao Mu died to save them, he felt more or less uneasy.
Therefore, it is not difficult to collect the money, and most people are willing to pay some.
"The front seems to be the boss's house..." Lao Huang was talking, when he suddenly heard voices coming from the corner of the alley.
Turning his head, he saw a group of people carrying a coffin and squeezed into the alley.
"Hey, someone passed away in this family, can the coffin be carried into this alley?" Lao Huang was still chattering gossip, but when he approached, his expression froze, and he quickly shut up.
He recognized the person carrying the coffin, who seemed to be a servant of the city lord's mansion.
How could the people from the City Lord's Mansion carry the coffin into this alley?
Before Lao Huang could figure it out, he saw a boy in white walking into the alley with his head held high, and his eyes straightened immediately.
The son of the city lord?
His body trembled slightly, his fists were subconsciously clenched, but he quickly let go, and then he quickly lowered his head and stepped aside to get out of the way.
The monks and soldiers next to him narrowed their eyes slightly, and then stepped aside.
He is a monk of wine and meat. The wife of Lao Huang's family had a miscarriage because of being whipped by the servant of the city lord's son. He also heard about it at the wine table.
He couldn't say anything, he just patted Lao Huang on the shoulder.
Several servants carried the coffin through the alley, but nothing happened.
Naturally, the young master of the city didn't know these big soldiers, so he just walked over.
Before reaching the corner of the alley, Ah Fu, the old man in gray who was following Mr. Guo, glanced at them, and suddenly said:
"How many of you are soldiers under that centurion Qiao Mu?"
Ah Fu had been to the military camp and secretly observed Qiao Mu practicing martial arts, so he also had a little impression of Lao Huang and the others.
The faces of Lao Huang and the others changed slightly.
Sure enough, the next moment Mr. Guo turned around with great interest.
"Oh? Interesting."
"This is the door of Centurion Qiao Mu's house? You are also looking for him? Then come in with me."
"Together?" Lao Huang and the others were taken aback for a moment, and then they belatedly set their eyes on the coffin.
Inside this coffin is Qiao Mu's body?And this Mr. Guo asked someone to carry the coffin into this alley, so he came to find Qiao Mu's family?
Chapter 29 Chapter 28 and then gone
Lao Huang, the monk and several other soldiers followed Mr. Guo silently and walked forward.
Mr. Guo has spoken, so they naturally dare not say no.
It's just that their hearts gradually sank, and they didn't say a word.
The sergeants of them had scraped together enough pension funds and passed the test in their hearts before they dared to come to tell Qiao Mu's death.
Although a person dies, at least he has a pension, which is more or less a consolation.
But now, they came too late, and bumped into the son of the city lord who had a problem with Qiao Mu.
What happened next, Lao Huang and the others didn't have to think about it, they knew what would happen.
It's just that these few big soldiers can't do anything.
soon.
The front has reached the end of this deep alley.
A servant stepped forward to knock on the door, and soon the door opened, and it was the blind girl who Lao Huang and others had met once appeared inside.
"Who are you?" Qiao Canxue looked a little wary.
Although she couldn't see anything, she also heard the dense footsteps in the deep alley, and it was obvious that there were many people on the other side.
The deep alleys in the outer city are ten rooms and five empty. How can there be so many people here?This is obviously unusual.
As soon as she showed up, the eyes of many servants outside the door immediately lit up, but then their eyes fell on Qiao Canxue's tightly closed eyes, but it was a pity secretly.
Mr. Guo pointed to his chin and looked at Qiao Canxue carefully, and finally shook his head: "This blind man is so good-looking, but it's a pity that he is a woman."
The servant who knocked on the door in front of him was about to speak, but was pushed away by Mr. Guo behind him, and made a quiet gesture with his index finger around his mouth.
"I can't see it..." Mr. Guo muttered in a low voice, and then said in a sad tone:
"This is the home of Qiao Mu, the centurion of the Yancheng Army, right?"
"I'm Qiao Mu's comrade...Actually, I have something important to tell you about Qiao Mu."
"Are you all Qiao Mu's comrades? So many people coming together?" Qiao Canxue's expression moved slightly, realizing something.
Mr. Guo looked behind him, past Lao Huang and the others.
"Yep."
"We are."
