stand back, let me come

"Really, really chop it?"

Palace inner garden, cat and dog room.

Several servants worked together to carry the dead body over.Zheng Qiao is violent, murders frequently, and the servants in the palace are replaced frequently.Several people are not very old, and they were born in poverty. They cut off their evil roots to serve others in order to have a bite of food.

They have also heard of Yan'an's reputation.

At first, he hated this son for helping the evildoers, but when he saw that there were only a few people in the court who were sincerely working for the common people, he realized the misunderstanding.If Mr. Wuyan persisted, the snow disaster in the past two years alone would add tens of thousands of lonely souls to the world.

Some of them also indirectly received the favor of the banquet, and it was really unbearable for them to raise their knives and cut up the benefactor's body and feed them to these wild little beasts in the cat and dog room.But if they don't do this, if the tyrant finds out that they disobeyed the king's orders, their fate will be tens of thousands of times worse than Yan'an.For a moment, everyone hesitated and struggled, and no one dared to speak.

"Or—is it burned?"

One made a sudden suggestion.

"Burned?"

Everyone was intimidated by this suggestion.

This is frustrating!

The servant on duty in the cat and dog room said in a low voice: "Let's... let's say that these little beasts are full, picky, and are not interested in human flesh for a while, I am afraid that the human flesh will rot and damage the stomachs of our little ancestors." , just throw these human flesh into the stove and burn it... Burning it and turning it into ashes is better than entering the belly of those little beasts and entering the cycle of five grains, right?"

Everyone: "..."

This seems to make sense, and while both approaches are extreme, the lesser evil is the lesser of two evils.

If it is burned to ashes, animal bones can also be used.

If the tyrant thinks of wanting to scatter his brother's ashes for fun one day, they will be easy to deal with, the risk is less than disobedience, and they can also soothe their conscience.After thinking for a moment, people agreed one after another.However, this matter should be done a little more secretly.

These servants are the most humble existence in the palace, no one cares about what they do, Zheng Qiao's assassination caused chaos in the palace all night, and they actually asked them to take advantage of the loophole to complete the matter.If it wasn't for worrying about getting angry, they would also like to set up a tablet of "the seat of the banquet".The sky was getting brighter, and the palace was not an iron bucket. The news quickly spread to every household.

Those who heard the news had mixed reactions.

Some are indifferent, some are heartbroken, some are laughing, some are ridiculed, and some are sad about the death of a rabbit and a fox. They are deeply aware of the darkness of the world, and have the idea of ​​hanging their seals and abandoning their officials to go back to the mountains and forests.No matter what state of mind they were in, their fear of Zheng Qiao was at its peak.

ruthless!
Too bad!
The brother who treated him so sincerely was also forced to assassinate by his atrocities.Although Yan'an's betrayal was wrong, but it was the utmost kindness to Zheng Qiao. Even if he thought about the friendship between classmates in the past, he should leave a whole body for him.Unexpectedly, unexpectedly let him chop it up and feed it to the dog!

Such a tyrant, it is better to go back early.

In just three or four days, it spread to the border of Qianzhou.

It is not right to say that it is a border.

It will take more than half a day to really get out of Qianzhou.

A dirty family of three is sitting in a tea shop beside the official road to rest.The woman in the Jingchai sarong looks haggard and weak, with a sallow complexion, one can tell at a glance that she is just recovering from a serious illness or suffering from a serious illness.The boy on one side was also disheveled, with dozens of patches on his Gebu shirt, exuding an inexplicable stench all over his body.Among the three, only the girl was clean and decent.

"Auntie, eat something..."

The girl looked up at the woman.

Boy: "Ma'am, I don't have an appetite now, you should eat more, don't yell that you are hungry again halfway, it's not easy to solve."

As he spoke, he tore open a small piece of pancake.

When I broke it open, I found that there was actually minced meat in the pancake.

The teenager was taken aback.

What he wants are vegetable stuffed pancakes.

Looking up at the shopkeeper of the tea shop, the latter smiled honestly, and the young man understood it instantly.Reluctantly, he took back the protruding broken cake, stuffed it into his mouth, got up and asked the shopkeeper for another one.Shopkeeper: "It's not for you."

She saw that the girl was cute, and saw the appearance of a woman and a young man, so she exchanged a pancake for a moment of pity.

The young man explained in a low voice: "The shopkeeper's kindness, we appreciate it. It's just that the child lost his biological father a few days ago..."

After hearing the words, the shopkeeper realized that he had done something bad with good intentions, and immediately sighed: "Oh, poor, you are still so young..."

In the current world, when a family loses an adult man, the already difficult life becomes even more difficult.

The shopkeeper hurriedly asked someone to exchange for two vegetarian cakes.

The young man hurriedly expressed his thanks.

At this time, the sound of horseshoes came from outside the tea shop.

Two men dressed as guards came over.

The boy almost threw the pancake out when he saw it.

Hao Xuan held back, lowered his head, and avoided the two guards.He was originally born in the market, even if he lived a life of rich clothes and good food for a year or two, some habits that are deeply rooted in his bones are difficult to correct.A Dousheng commoner who is afraid of the guards is played flawlessly, and his expression returns to his original position as usual.Break the vegetarian cake into small pieces, soak it soft and serve it to the girls.

Because the business of the tea shop was pretty good and the location was tight, the two servants were arranged to sit next to them, which made the boy's heart skip a beat.But soon, his attention was attracted by the conversation between the two, and they mentioned "Yan'an".

"The tyrant is getting more and more ruthless..." The tall guard drank a bowl of hot orange peel drink.

"...No, it's not human at all. He deserves to be betrayed...Is that what the word says? He deserves it!" The short guard responded, "...not even a whole body is left. This is still a human. Did you get it? I heard that Yan used to be a peerless scribe of the Xin Kingdom, but now he has... tsk tsk tsk, it's really bad luck for eight lifetimes to have such a junior!"

"Oh, I heard that I still chopped it up and fed it to the dog..."

"His wife and daughter seem to have escaped?"

"That's right. Sigh, it would be miserable to be caught... According to that character, I don't know how to humiliate them."

The boy felt cold all over.

Not because of hearing the news of Yan An's death, but because I was worried that the two people around me would suddenly reveal their identities...

result--

The woman just served the tea for a while.

It's just that when I lowered my head close to the pottery bowl, there were tears falling silently in the bowl, and the taste of the mouth was extremely bitter.

The girl was ignorant and didn't understand what the neighbor said.

"Brother, what's the matter?"

The girl looked at him puzzled, waiting to be fed.

The boy came back to his senses and said in a low voice, "It's nothing."

He fidgeted restlessly, and when they were almost done eating, the three of them got up and added some dry food to satisfy their hunger on the way.Under the instructions of the woman, he replaced the original carriage with the old farmer in the village for a dilapidated wooden donkey cart, and built an extremely simple shed to keep out the wind and rain.Despite the bumps, relying on these camouflages, he avoided many searches along the way.

It's safe for now.

After staying away from the tea shop, the young man heard the woman's restrained weeping from behind, mourning like a lone goose bereaved of a lover.After a long time, the young man asked after his voice faded, "Ma'am, where are we going next? The news about Mr. Yan has spread here, and those who want to come after us are on their way. None of the three of us can beat us. If you catch them, you won't be able to keep a single one alive..."

As he spoke, he heard the terrible sound of hoofbeats.

Can't—

Say what?
The boy's heart went up to his throat.
