Jiaohua

Chapter 300
"A total of 310 two corpses, three of them are those killers, and the remaining four killers are still alive, one is blinded in the right eye, with a green thorn pierced in the eyeball, one is shot through the right wrist and left rear knee by crossbow arrows, and the remaining four are still alive. The next two are in better condition, one has a broken leg, and the other is bound, according to the two beggars, the people who injured them were a girl and a tall man." The official said on the side.

Liang Nai lowered his head, his face was ugly, and he didn't speak.

Zhu Xian stroked his beard and said, "Girl, could it be Ah Li?"

"By the way, there is one more thing," said the official, turned around and brought something from the back, and put it on the table, "Adults, take a look."

On the tray was an object, made of wood, with a glossy lacquer, a complex but exquisite structure, it was hard to tell what it was.

"What is this?" Wei Zheng asked.

"They found it at the scene of their fight. According to the two surviving beggars, this thing was worn by a girl on her wrist and can shoot arrows."

"Arrow?" Zhu Xian asked curiously, and went to pick it up.

"Be careful, my lord," the official said hurriedly, "I can't find out how to use it. It may be a hidden weapon or something. You'd better be careful, so as not to trigger anything."

"It's a bit heavy." Zhu Xian weighed it and said, "My good guy, it's actually worn on the wrist."

"Isn't that just a crossbow?" Wei Zheng looked at it and said, then looked up at Zhu Xian, "This thing is very dexterous, if it can be produced on a large scale and used on the battlefield, wouldn't it be wonderful?"

"That's exactly what I thought too." Zhu Xian replied.

After weighing it again, he raised his head to look at another official, and said, "Go to the Ministry of War tomorrow morning to find Shilang Zhuang, and tell me that I have a novelty, and let him come with General Du Lang, who made the archery."

"Yes." The official responded.

"It's really strange," Zhu Xian said, looking back at the crossbow and could not put it down, "I have never seen such a treasure before."

"My lord..." the previous official said in a low voice.

Zhu Xian paused, then looked up: "Well, okay, you continue."

"How to dispose of those beggar corpses?"

Zhu Xian turned to look at Liang Nai.

The head of the Jingzhao government office was about to fall asleep.

"My lord." Zhu Xian shouted.

Liang Nai was in a daze, raised his eyelids, and said in a hoarse voice, "What's the matter?"

"Those beggars, how to deal with them?"

"Kill it." Liang Nai said casually.

Zhu Xian frowned: "My lord, those beggars are already dead."

Liang Nai was sleepy, and after a while, he regained his energy, sat up a little more straightly, and said, "What time is it?"

Wei Zheng sighed softly, shaking his head invisibly from the side.

Zhu Xian stopped asking questions, and looked at the officials: "Get out of the city and bury it before Chen Shi."

"No." Wei Zheng said.

"how?"

Wei Zong thought for a while and said, "Burn it, go out from Zhenweimen in the west city, gather the corpses to Tumi Ridge, and then set fire to it."

"Why?" Zhu Xian asked.

Wei Zong looked at him, his expression became solemn, and he said with difficulty: "There are more and more refugees outside the city, and winter is coming soon, and the corpses... are not easy to rot."

Zhu Xian paused, and then understood.

There are more and more refugees, and there are more mouths to eat. At the beginning, I can bear it. When I get hungry, maybe...

Zhu Xian felt a chill all over his body, his scalp was numb and his whole body felt unwell.

The officials were still waiting for words, Zhu Xian's voice became difficult, and he said, "Just follow what Wei Engeng said, take it to Tumi Ridge and burn it."

"Yes." The official responded.

Watching the officials leave, Zhu Xian lowered his head and looked back at the small crossbow, and said, "This kind of thing is also fatal."

"Killing the enemy should not use the word 'harm'. This is to protect the family and the country." Wei Zheng said.

"I understand," Zhu Xian nodded, "I just feel a little uncomfortable."

"Then don't think about it so much, let's go, drink, warm up after drinking, and go to bed early." Wei Zheng said, turned and walked outside.

Zhu Xian glanced at Liang Nai who was completely asleep, and said in a low voice, "Go to sleep, your neck will hurt to death when you wake up tomorrow."

He followed Wei Zong and left together.

The next day, the whole city was silent, there was no sound at all, the peddlers hardly came out, and there were only a few pedestrians on the street.

Everyone can hear what happened last night.

No one dared to see what was going on, only ears were pricked up, listening to the screams outside, begging for mercy, laughing, drinking, scolding, and the movements of the patrolling guards running back and forth.

It was not until Sishi that there were fireworks on the street, but only a few shops were open, and there were no hawkers carrying burdens or carts.

The only places with vitality are those academies.

The sound of reading came from Dongping Academy. Shitou sent a basket of hard-boiled eggs to the back door of the academy. When he came back, he passed by the main entrance. Hearing the sound of reading, he just felt pleasant.

Turning around and wanting to go back to the mansion, when he looked up, he saw Dai Yu and Zhang Meng coming back in the distance, and the two of them were walking in a hurry.

Seeing Dai Yu now, Shi Shi felt annoyed, shook the empty basket in his hand, and wondered if he should go and sit for a while.

Two figures stood at the entrance of an alley behind the stone.

"Is it him?" Lin Qingfeng asked.

"It's him, the stinky lady behind the academy gave me a hint," Luo Da said, "He is the attendant next to Shen Lie, named Shitou, who delivers things to the back door every day. From what the stinky lady said, it seems to be I want to intercede with Shen Lie, and I want Shen Lie to go to Dongping Academy to study."

"Pfft," Lin Qingfeng covered his mouth and smiled lowly, "this brain is really smart, what can he do to deliver things to those servants in the backyard? How many people want to study in Dongping Academy, but they can't even get in if they are overcrowded. He sent some Small favors and small favors are enough? Shen knows how such a profound, resourceful and intelligent person has such a pussy and stupid brother."

"Didn't you say, isn't she a mother?"

"That's right, the eldest son is very delicate, and his brains are gone." Lin Qingfeng said.

At the beginning, Shen Yan was thinking that he didn't want his younger brother to study in Dongping Academy, but he himself wanted to go there. Lin Qingfeng thought it was funny that he could think of such a stupid trick.

"Girl, what should we do now?" Luo Da asked.

Lin Qingfeng thought for a while, looked at the stone walking to the other side, and said: "Follow what you like, since they want to enter Dongping Academy so much, let's help, and wait for us to lead Shen Lie by the nose step by step." Let's go, let's see if Shen Fan still wants to hide from me when the time comes, doesn't he feel sorry for his precious brother?"

"Then it will be fun at that time," Luo laughed. "Fortunately, the girl managed it well before, and she has good connections in the capital. It is not difficult to get Shen Lie to study in a school."

"It's cheap for him," Lin Qingfeng said, "Let's go, tomorrow we will go to the back door to block this boy."

"En." Luo Da responded.
