Chapter 307: Joint Burial
"Of course I have to continue. I haven't even started looking yet!"
"continue."
Tie Jinjue's other subordinates spoke one after another.
Everyone walked up the mountain.
Zhang Ji and Tie Jinjue's other men continued to search, unaware that most of the others were watching his actions out of the corner of their eyes.
After searching for a while, Qin Ding said, "Look!"
Everyone looked in the direction he was looking, and saw Fang Piaolan lying in the sun holding Fei Cunyi.
"Finally found it!" said one of his men.
The crowd approached the two bodies and found that they both had smiles on their faces.
After examination, Tie Jinjue's men determined that Fei Cunyi and Fang Piaolan both died of poisoning.
"Oh! Let's bury them!" Qin Ding sighed.
"Bury them together." said another of Tie Jinjue's subordinates.
"Although they didn't live together, they died together. Let them be buried together after death... Maybe they can reunite in another world." Qin Ding said.
At this moment, people who were secretly observing Zhang Ji found that his expression became painful, and there was a hint of weirdness in his pain.
Zhang Ji suddenly spoke up: "It would be better to bury them separately..."
"Ah?" Everyone was surprised.
"Why?" Qin Ding asked.
"You also said that both of them died of poisoning. If they are buried together, then..." Zhang Ji couldn't think of a suitable excuse for a moment, and said vaguely, "It's not a good idea..."
"They are all dead anyway. So what if they died of poisoning? There won't be any harm, right?" Qin Ding said.
"Oh...it's okay...I just said it casually, it's up to you, it's up to you..." Zhang Ji said.
Everyone quickly buried Fei Cunyi and Fang Piaolan together. Zhang Ji's expression was still unnatural.
After everyone returned to Tiecangting, Qin Ding and several other subordinates of Tie Jinjue reported the situation.
"Zhang Ji said that they should be buried separately?" Tie Jinjue asked puzzledly.
"Yes. I feel that he doesn't intend to harm us, and he doesn't seem like someone sent by the patriarch to monitor us." Qin Ding said.
"Is there another hidden story? Is there any hatred between them? But I have never seen Zhang Ji have any contact with him. Have you seen Zhang Ji have any contact with him?" Tie Jinjue asked. In order to prevent the mouth from causing trouble, Tie Jinjue and his men did not mention Fei Cunyi's name when they spoke, but directly said "he". When Tie Jinjue asked this, his men could understand that the "he" in Tie Jinjue's mouth was Fei Cunyi.
"We have never seen Zhang Ji have any contact with him."
"Yeah, I haven't seen it."
"Does Zhang Ji know him? I never knew him!"
Tie Jinjue's subordinates all said that they had never seen Zhang Ji and Fei Cunyi having any contact.
"Is that so... Oh... Just continue to observe Zhang Ji and tell me if you find anything wrong." Tie Jinjue said.
"Yes!" the men responded.
At night, most of Tie Jinjue's men who shared the same dormitory with Zhang Ji had already fallen asleep. The sound of a door creaking woke up two of them.
The two saw Zhang Ji walking out the door in the moonlight, and one of them said, "Zhang Ji, where are you going?"
The sound woke up Tie Jinjue's other men in the dormitory.
Zhang Ji immediately said, "I'm going to the toilet."
"Oh, I'll go too. Let's go together!" said another subordinate, lighting a candle with a tinder.
Under the candlelight, Tie Jinjue's other men saw that Zhang Ji had dressed neatly. If he was really just going to the toilet, why would he dress like that?
