Great Lawyer

Chapter 799 Take me home ([-])

"Bring back the body first." King Gui said, "This has nothing to do with our mission to Annan."

Du Jiuyan agreed and said, "Do this first."

"Should we go?" Lu Nianzong was eager to try, "This is a big deal, do we still need to negotiate?"

King Gui said: "You don't have to go, it's bumpy back and forth, and you don't know if the other party is a human or a ghost, it's better to be cautious."

In case Liu Yunsheng is a no-brainer, regardless of the diplomatic relations between the two countries, he will directly turn his face and fight.In this world, not everyone is reasonable.

He was able to lead troops to fight there and kill Liu Yunsheng.

But Liu Yunsheng is just an illegitimate son of Lord Liu, so there is no need.

Annan has countless Liu Yunsheng.

"Master, let's go with Han Dang and Qiao Mo." Gu Qingshan said, "Three hundred troops from the guard are enough."

King Gui nodded.

Three days later, Liu Yongxu took the lead, leading three hundred troops in the name of the Liu family, Gu Qingshan and Han Dang led the formation, and a group of people went to Shenglong Chongyatan to retrieve the remains of [-] people.

Liu Yunsheng often accompanied [-] saltworks employees, lining up at the mouth of the beach.

"The body is in the mass grave on Luoteng Slope, you can take it away if you want." Chang Sui sat on the horse, not paying attention to them at all, "As for the murderer you want to kill, I'm sorry, We don't know either."

"You don't know? Your salt farm is an industry handed down from my Liu family's ancestors. Why is it in your hands?" Liu Yongxu said, "It's obvious that you killed the workers in my family."

Chang Sui laughed and spat, "Your words are really ridiculous. We bought this salt field from a merchant at a huge price."

"There is a land deed to prove it. As for the businessman, he has already left with the money. If you want to find it, you can find it yourself."

"But it's impossible for us to give up the salt field and bear your so-called murder charges!"

Liu Yongxu said: "You, what you are doing is clearly denying. How could a businessman have such courage to kill and rob the saltworks."

"Only you dare."

Chang Sui said, "I don't know why the businessman has the guts."

"If you are not convinced, go and investigate."

Liu Yongxu still wanted to talk, but Gu Qingshan stopped him and said: "Stop talking, go to work."

"Too much deceit!" Liu Yongxu trembled angrily, but no one cares about this kind of thing if you sue the officials.The so-called protection of officials and officials is vividly reflected here.

"What kind of bullshit businessman, actually pushed a businessman to take the blame, shameless."

Gu Qingshan said: "Unless there is a direct war, the reasoning is not clear."

However, going to war directly requires the approval of the imperial court. After all, it is a major military matter, and they cannot provoke a war just because of a moment of impulsiveness.

It's not because he's afraid, but like King Gui said, if you use your own soldiers to help others fight the country, unless you share half of them, there's nothing to talk about.

A group of people went to the mass grave in Luotengpo.

Gu Qingshan took a deep breath, the scene in front of him would be unimaginable if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes.

Luotengpo is said to be a slope, but it is not a hillside, but an earthen island. The high terrain looks like a hillside when viewed from a distance.

The island is not big, roughly estimated to be only about a hundred acres of land.

At this moment, on the entire island, there are large and small earth mounds, overgrown with weeds, flying mosquitoes and flies, and the stench is suffocating.If it was just like this, Gu Qingshan would not be surprised, his eyes fell on the left, where at first glance it looked like a dirt bag, piled up high and dark.

But if you take a closer look, you will find that it is simply piled up of corpses.

The corpses one after another, some long and some short, some thin and some fat, looked like a pile of discarded rags, randomly piled up in the corner.

More than a dozen wild dogs were biting, barking and fighting around the pile of corpses. The fat flies were about the size of a thumb, exuding a disgusting stench.

"Is it from there?" Han Dang asked.

Liu Yongxu shook his head and said, "No, I don't know, I'll go and have a look."

Wrapped in a towel, he walked around one after another of the dirt bumps, kicking bones with his feet from time to time, and his skull was like a ball, rolling on the ground with a grunt.

Liu Yongxu passed by, those wild dogs looked at them warily, grinning their teeth, as if they would rush over and bite him if he took another step.

With a bang, Gu Qingshan shot an arrow, a wild dog fell to the ground and screamed, and the other dogs fled in panic.

Liu Yongxu found out that after seeing two of them in a row, they were completely changed. He didn't recognize the fourth one until he ran to the side and squatted down, crying and vomiting.

"Clean it out." Gu Qingshan greeted the brothers, "Take out the potion, first disperse it to deodorize."

The weather is hot, and it has been placed for several days, and rot is inevitable.

"These beasts." Someone dragged out the corpse of a five or six-year-old child. The small body had been cut three or four times, and the blood probably drained dry. The body was emaciated, skin covered with bones, like a skeleton.

For two days, they didn't go to accountability, they were all doing the same thing.

At the bottom of the Luoteng slope, many people and hired workers were watching, and someone asked in a low voice, "Is this the owner of the big salt farm who came to take them back?"

"It looks like it is."

"That's not bad, you can go home after you die."

"That's right. I'm going to die sooner or later anyway. If I can be buried in front of my own house, I will die without regret."

Everyone was discussing, and Gu Qingshan felt chilling when he heard it.

Because among so many voices, none of the voices or even the tone of voice was aggrieved. Their attitude towards death and being tortured by others had become numb to the point of frightening him.

One hundred and nine corpses were all loaded into carts and covered with straw mats, and manpower pushed the carts back to Zhen'an.

As they drifted away, Liu Yunsheng hooked one foot on the curtain of the carriage on the official road and took a look. He laughed and said, "It's just a bunch of pariahs. I don't believe it. King Gui of the Great Zhou Dynasty is really willing to send troops for the pariahs."

"These sluts are dead when they die. They are not as good as those pigs and dogs. They can share their meat."

"gone!"

The carriage got up, and the driver of the carriage looked blank, and brought Liu Yunsheng's carriage into the city.

Two days later, Gu Qingshan and the others returned to Zhen'an.

Du Jiuyan leaned against a tree in the yard to enjoy the shade, and King Gui fanned her, and the two of them didn't speak for a long time.

"Yanyan," Gui Wang said, "I heard that there is a restaurant that serves good food, do you want to try it?"

Du Jiuyan waved his hands, and said in a languid voice, "If it's really delicious, why don't you let them deliver it."

"Otherwise, the prince will help me buy it back?"

King Gui knocked her on the head and said, "I just want you to go out for a walk. If you haven't achieved your goal, you should stop eating."

Du Jiuyan said: "When I eat delicious food, I really feel better. As for going out for activities, it doesn't help my mood."

King Gui gave her a helpless look, and said, "I'll buy it for you later."

"My lord is the best."

Everyone is lazy and doesn't go out to move.

Liu Gan offered a reward of 1 taels, but Du Jiuyan refused, not because he was suddenly generous, but because he appreciated Liu Gan's affectionate handling of the hired workers.

"Mr. Du," Su Ningyue and Song Jiyi came together, Du Jiuyan was reading a book, she looked up at them and asked, "What's wrong?"

Su Ningyue sat down opposite her, and said: "I have discussed with my husband, you are going to Annan, the two of us will wait here for you."

"I also have the same idea." Du Jiuyan said, "Stay here for a few months first, and when the pregnancy is stable, you can go slowly and go home."

Song Jiyi nodded, and said: "I, I, I, too, think so, think, think."

You can't go to Annan to have a baby, not even in Zhen'an.

"It's Jiyi who is reluctant to leave you." Su Ningyue glanced at Song Jiyi helplessly, and said, "Send me back, and he will look for you again."

Du Jiuyan looked at Song Jiyi, rolled his eyes at him, and said, "Having a baby is a big deal, and Ningyue is her first child, so it's better for you to accompany her."

"When she gives birth, it's almost as good as you go to find us."

Song Jiyi nodded and said, "I, I, I know."

"Children and daughter-in-law are important, let's put other things aside. Maybe we went to Annan and came back in a few months." Du Jiuyan said.

Su Ningyue was startled, and asked, "Will it be hindered?"

"It will definitely be hindered." Du Jiuyan said, "It depends on the situation. We are not more capable than saints. There is no reason for us to open up things that saints can't do."

Su Ningyue was right after thinking about it, and said: "Anyway, it's not Da Zhou's business, they are not in a hurry, there is no need for us to risk our lives to help them."

"It's really powerful, maybe it's still a scourge."

Du Jiuyan smiled, nodded and said, "That's the truth."

"My lord, Mr. Du." The magistrate Mr. Ma rushed in with someone, and said, "The imperial court is here."

Du Jiuyan stood up and said, "Did you send the imperial decree?"

"It's a handwritten order." Ma Daren said, "It's at the door."

Everyone greeted him out together, and King Gui was already at the door.

Du Jiuyan saw Meng Jiao and Guo Ting with a glance, she was taken aback, and King Gui had already said, "Did you two send a message?"

The two of them are different from the past. Among the military officers, they are ministers of military aircraft who hold military power.

"Kowtow to the prince and princess!" The two saluted.

King Gui welcomed them in.

Guo Ting put on some weight and looked energetic, but he looked a few years younger than before.

Meng Jiao had been driving for a long time, and her face was a little tired.

"The Holy Majesty asked Wei Chen to come, and I happened to have some contact with Master Guo." Meng Jiao looked at King Gui and said, "I went to Annan as an envoy and discussed with China for two days. Everyone's opinion is the same as yours."

"Annan has been in chaos for a hundred years, and the people on the border of Dazhou have been repeatedly affected."

"If we can help them stabilize the government, it will be of great benefit to Da Zhou."

"It is even more conducive to the trade between the two countries."

Mainly because of Dazhou’s trade with Annan, the other party needs to purchase some supplies such as rice noodles and cloth from Dazhou. In the long run, it will naturally benefit more

"As for their powerful future troubles, the Holy Majesty tells you not to worry too much. With the national power of the Great Zhou, they can only use their arms as a cart."

King Gui nodded, and asked: "All the adults in the court, do you mean this?"

"Yes!" Meng Jiao said, "All adults have the same attitude."

Meng Jiao said, and then said: "However, His Majesty still ordered Mr. Guo to suppress troops at the border to prevent Li Xiao from being incompetent and putting you in a dilemma in Annan."

King Gui and Du Jiuyan looked at each other, he nodded and said, "This arrangement is appropriate."

If Zhao Qi didn't arrange for Guo Ting, he would also let Liu Hai lead the troops to hold the line.

Next, King Gui and Guo Ting made arrangements for the rear defense, and wrote a personal letter to Li Xiao, setting the date for the first day of July to officially depart for the border crossing.

Li Xiao replied that he would meet him thirty miles outside Thang Long City.
