Chapter 303: Killing people is like killing chickens, Ding Ye’s awesome writing
The next day the weather was nice and the sun was shining.
Jiang Qingzhi took his wife and prepared to go to Huguo Temple.
Fu Cheng earnestly told Sun Chonglou, "Tell Uncle to be pious."
Lao Fucheng felt that everything was fine in the Bo Mansion at the moment, the only problem was that there was no heir.
Some stalls spontaneously formed around the Huguo Temple. Jiang Qingzhi and Li Tian got off the car early and ate along the way.
“This snack is delicious!”
Husband, look at this meat pie."
Before Li Tian got married, her family had envisioned her married life: spending the whole day at the Bo's house managing household affairs, and occasionally going out to enjoy the spring.
Although her life seemed like being in prison, her family considered it a decent life that only noble ladies could have.
But at this moment, Li Tian was in high spirits. She held Jiang Qingzhi's sleeve, asked the price here, tasted the food there, and did not look like a noble lady at all.
Two men were staring at them in the distance.
"Tell the Marquis that Jiang Qingzhi brought five guards with him on this trip."
"Five guards are not easy to deal with."
"We have more people."
"The Marquis ordered us to be quick. If we miss, we should flee far away. Otherwise, if we are caught, our whole family will be killed!"
"Yes."
In front is the Huguo Temple.
Jiang Qingzhi and his wife did not disturb the temple authorities and entered like ordinary tourists.
Li Tian bowed when he saw the Buddha statue, muttering something.
"I say, can't you be more focused?" Jiang Qingzhi felt that his wife was not pious enough to worship the gods whenever she saw them. He stood at the back with his hands behind his back. On the left were two pilgrims kneeling on a mat, bowing their heads in prayer.
"My husband, you cannot blaspheme the gods." Li Tian said.
"The gods are very busy." Jiang Qingzhi felt uncomfortable with the smell of incense, so he walked out of the hall.
There were more than a dozen believers burning incense outside the main hall.
Sun Chonglou was talking to Sun Bu Tong, and when he saw him come out, he said, "Young Master, Master said that we must be pious when worshipping the gods!"
Just as Jiang Qingzhi was about to speak, Sun Bu Tong suddenly stood in front of him.
At some point, the dozen or so pilgrims came around them.
"There are assassins!"
More than a dozen pilgrims took out their short knives, shouted and rushed over.
Jiang Qingzhi's first reaction was to rush into the hall.
The two pilgrims kneeling on the side were holding short knives and rushing towards Li Tian with a grim smile.
A figure suddenly appeared in front of them.
Draw the sword and swing it.
Jiang Qingzhi walked behind Li Tian and stretched out his hand to block her view.
Amidst the screams, blood spurted onto the cushion.
Mo Zhan stepped back and shouted, “Get out!”
Two men rushed out from behind the Buddha statue, holding long knives and shouting, "Kill Jiang Qingzhi and his wife!"
Li Tian's body trembled, and he subconsciously stood up and stood in front of Jiang Qingzhi.
This silly woman!
Jiang Qingzhi smiled and said softly, "Don't worry."
He turned Li Tian's body over.
Li Tian only heard the sound of clothes tearing through the air and the whistling of the sword...
Screams of agony followed one after another.
clang!
Amid the sound of metal colliding, Jiang Qingzhi hugged her and spun around.
A long knife flew past where the couple had just stood, and then the sound of a heavy body falling to the ground made Li Tian's body tremble.
After an unknown amount of time, everything around him became quiet, and a fishy smell made Li Tian feel a little nauseous.
"Master, there were seventeen assassins, thirteen dead and four injured."
Mo Zhan's voice was heard, Jiang Qingzhi's hand loosened, and Li Tian finally saw outside.
Sun Chonglou's face was covered in blood. In the past, Li Tian always thought this boy was interesting and cute, like a younger brother, but the murderous intent in his eyes reminded Li Tian of a "joke" played by the guards.
——People from Altan’s tribe said that Sun Chonglou was a Shura.
Li Tian didn't agree with it at the time, but now he thinks it is appropriate.
"Young Master!" Sun Chonglou glanced at Jiang Qingzhi, and seeing that he was fine, he looked at Li Tian.
"Torture."
Jiang Qingzhi said, then took Li Tian's hand and went out.
The Huguo Temple was alarmed and the monks rushed out with sticks.
"Where did these thieves come from!" the leading monk shouted, "Put aside your swords."
"Uncle Jiang Qingzhi."
Jiang Qingzhi said coldly: "I should be the one asking you this question!"
Sun Bu Tong said, "Today, Master Bo came to Huguo Temple to burn incense. More than a dozen pilgrims suddenly attacked, and someone even hid behind a Buddha statue and attacked. Huguo Temple is a place of filth and corruption. Master Bo should be given an explanation!"
The monk was startled, "Chang Wei Bo?"
The abbot was alarmed and rushed over.
"Meet Long Wilbur."
Li Tian and Huang Yan'er stood on one side, seemingly calm. Jiang Qingzhi knew that it was the first time he had seen someone being killed, so his wife must be in a panic.
"The assassin planned to hide in the temple. If there is no insider..."
"There can't be any internal accomplice." The abbot said firmly.
"Someone ran away from behind."
At this time, Sun Bu Tong's voice came from behind the temple, "It's a monk."
Abbot: "..."
……
"Your Majesty, Chang Wei Bo was assassinated in the Huguo Temple."
This time, the East Factory was the first to get the news.
Rui Jingxian hurried to Xiyuan to report, getting one step ahead of his old rival Lu Bing.
Upon hearing the news, the Taoist priest flew into a rage and said, "Seal off the Huguo Temple and conduct a thorough investigation!"
"Yes." Rui Jingxian took his leave and sneered as he passed by Lu Bing, "Commander Lu, the Yan family's wine is delicious, but we can't miss the important things, right?"
Lu Bing was drinking with Yan Shifan earlier. He said coldly, "You actually had someone staring at me!"
"Not really." Rui Jingxian raised his eyebrows, "You know who we are targeting."
Yan Song and his son!
When Lu Bing entered the palace, the Taoist priest was looking at the eunuchs around him with a grim look, "Did anyone eavesdrop on my conversation with Qingzhi yesterday?"
Huang Jin's heart tightened, "Your Majesty, I was watching outside yesterday!"
"Investigate!" There was murderous intent in the Taoist's eyes.
"Yes."
Lu Bing bowed and said, "Your Majesty."
"Busy?" asked the Taoist.
"Your Majesty..." Lu Bing couldn't answer this.
"If you are not busy, just keep an eye on the capital." The Taoist said calmly, "Especially those great scholars, keep an eye on them and see what they say."
"Yes." Lu Bing was confused, wondering why he was staring at the great scholar?
He returned to the restaurant again. Yan Shifan's face was flushed and the woman beside him had been replaced.
"Great scholar?" Yan Shifan frowned and shook his head for a long time, "I can't guess what your majesty means by this."
Riddle guessing expert Yan Shifan failed.
……
"My Lord, they failed!"
Wang Ning hurried back to the Marquis' Mansion.
Zhang Tong drank the wine in the teacup in one gulp. "So many good players suddenly jumped up, how could you fail? Idiot!"
Wang Ning trembled and said, "I was watching from a distance before. Sun Chonglou, who was beside Jiang Qingzhi, killed people like cutting grass! At that time, there were only Jiang Qingzhi and his wife and a guard in the palace. I don't know why the other four failed."
The thugs hired by the Marquis' Mansion were as weak as chickens in the hands of guards like Sun Chonglou.
Zhang Tong poured himself a glass of wine while trembling. When he raised the glass, his trembling became even more severe. He tilted his head back and drank the wine. His hands miraculously stabilized.
"Were there any prisoners?"
"Have!"
Zhang Tong took a deep breath and said, "It has nothing to do with our house, right?"
Wang Ning nodded, "Those people are not on the list of servants in the Marquis' Mansion, and Wang Ju..."
Zhang Tong's cloudy eyes showed a hint of coldness. "Is Wang Ju related to me?"
Half an hour later, Wang Ju slipped and fell from the building and died after drinking.
……
The casino thugs had even less moral integrity than a prostitute and they confessed quickly.
The monk confessed everything clearly without waiting for torture.
"…They are the thugs hired by Jincheng Marquis Zhang Tong. The monk is a brother of one of them. He received ten strings of cash yesterday and helped them hide in the temple…"
"and many more."
Jiang Qingzhi interrupted Sun Bu Tong's report and asked, "How did they know that I came to Huguo Temple to burn incense today?"
Sun Bu Tong lowered his head, "Someone in the mansion told others about this... The people in the Marquis' Mansion said they heard it by accident."
Jiang Qingzhi said: "Unintentionally?"
He went to the quiet room where Li Tian was resting.
"Did anyone at home make a big fuss about our visit to Huguo Temple yesterday? You can check it out later."
Li Tian agreed and called Huang Yaner to question her.
"It's Zhu Sanniang." Huang Yan'er said confidently: "Yesterday I heard her showing off in the backyard, saying that she would follow my wife to the Huguo Temple to burn incense today. She has a brother in the front yard..."
Hey!
Jiang Qingzhi couldn't help but think of the Jia family in Dream of the Red Chamber.
It has only been a short time, but the relationships in the mansion are so complicated. In a few generations, won’t it be like the Jia family, where the servants have already formed a big network.
"Catch him and question him." Li Tian said without hesitation, but then lowered his head and retched.
Jiang Qingzhi went out and ordered: "Prepare the carriage to return home, and keep an eye on Zhang Tong. If he escapes, take action."
"Yes."
Mo Zhan gave the order, and then the couple got in the car and returned home.
There was constant news along the way.
"Duke Chengguo sent someone to ask, and I replied that the Lord and his wife were fine."
"Someone from the East Factory came. Your Majesty asked how the Lord was doing. I replied that he was fine."
"Wang Yiqi from the Ministry of War sent someone to ask, and I replied..."
"Mr. Xia is here."
Xia Yan got off his horse and cursed Jiang Qingzhi as soon as he saw him, "I told you that you have offended those people and it is best not to go out unless necessary, but you ignored me..."
Jiang Qingzhi waited until he finished scolding before saying, "You can't stay at home, right? Or if I go out, will the guards surround me?"
Xia Yan: “…”
Then what's the point of living?
The old man's eyes flashed with a fierce light, "Who did it?"
"Jincheng Hou Zhang Tong."
"That lunatic!" Xia Yan cursed loudly. After a quarter of an hour, he panted under Jiang Qingzhi's admiring gaze and said, "Don't be impulsive about this matter. I will go to the palace now."
Jiang Qingzhi wanted to call him, but Uncle Ding in his mind suddenly accelerated.
What the hell!
You actually smoke at this time!
Jiang Qingzhi hurried back home.
"Ask a doctor." Jiang Qingzhi hurriedly ordered, and then went to the study. "Shi Tou, watch the door."
"Order!"
"Meow!"
At some point, Duoduo appeared at the door, looking quite serious.
Jiang Qingzhi closed his eyes.
The big tripod is accelerating...
The speed is getting faster and faster.
What the hell!
This is a speed never seen before.
Jiang Qingzhi's heart was trembling.
"Uncle Ding, please don't collapse!"
……
Ministry of Industry.
Teams of craftsmen are ready to go.
"Remember, biogas digesters are related to the fate of the Ming Dynasty. When you arrive at various places, immediately summon local craftsmen, teach them carefully, and then roll them out..."
……
The speed of the big cauldron was getting faster and faster, and it became an afterimage.
What the hell!
Jiang Qingzhi's mind suddenly shook, and he squatted down in pain, holding his head.
He roared silently.
I do not know how long it has been.
The cauldron in my mind slowed down.
Jiang Qingzhi suddenly discovered that the space had expanded...
The big one is so fucking outrageous.
what does this mean?
Jiang Qingzhi's eyes widened. Fortunately, the things he had stored were still there: compressed biscuits, bicycles, flashlights, mobile phones, chocolates, 100,000 Whys, canned tuna...
But it seems particularly small.
His eyes turned and he was stunned for a moment.
"How many?"
"One year... two years..."
Jiang Qingzhi exclaimed from the study, "Master Ding is awesome!"
