Chapter 103: Secret War

Tie Qiu led the way to the duty room in the back office. There was a bed in this duty room, and there were several people surrounding the bed, including Ruan Aoyue, Mei'er, the medical officer, Zhang Wei, and Wang Shun.

After Yue Su entered the door, without waiting for everyone to salute, he rushed forward in a few steps. Lying on the bed was a young girl. The girl's face was as golden as paper. She was obviously seriously injured. However, the girl's eyes were open, and the corners of her eyes were still there.

There were tears. When he saw Yue Su, the first thing he said was, "Master Yue, my sister is really... dead..."

The girl is none other than Zi Mei.

It turned out that after Wentian killed Hanlian and Zimei escaped calmly, Li Zhong immediately called the medical officer to diagnose the two women's injuries.

Han Lian was shot through the chest with a long sword and died on the spot. Zimei was lucky. The shot seemed to hit the heart, but it missed by half an inch and did not kill her immediately. The medical officer was handling it.

In terms of trauma, he was an experienced hand. He immediately stopped the bleeding of Zimei, applied the best gold wound medicine, and bandaged the wound. Seeing that her life was in danger, he asked people to carry her on a stretcher to the governor's Yamen. Of course, Han Lian's body

He was also carried over.

As soon as Yue Su saw Han Lian and Zimei, he recognized them as the maids of the former magistrate Gong Naisen's house. At this point, he quickly concluded that there must be something fishy in Gong Naisen's death. Han

Lian was dead, and the living Zimei became the key to solving the case. Yue Su immediately placed Zimei in the duty room to rest, and asked his wife Ruan Aoyue to help take care of her. Because Zimei had been in a coma, Yue Su had a servant

After reporting, the boy escorted Zou Feng to the main hall first.

While Yue Su was interrogating the case, Zimei Youyou woke up and found that she was not dead, so she immediately asked about Han Lian. Ruan Aoyue told the truth, and Zimei cried silently after hearing it. When she learned that this was the governor's office,

Immediately he said that he wanted to see Mr. Yue.

After all, Zimei was a master, and Yue Su did not dare to take it lightly, so he left Tie Qiu, Zhang Wei, and Wang Shun in the room to protect their wives. So Ruan Aoyue immediately ordered Tie Qiu to go to the main hall to invite Yue Su over.

Facing Zimei's question, Yue Su nodded and said, "That girl was shot through the chest with a sharp sword and is already dead."

Fortunately, Ruan Aoyue had already told Zimei before. Zimei heard it again and was relatively calm. She said with a sad voice: "I was the one who should have died. My sister gave me the peace charm, so she died."

It's all my fault that I died... I shouldn't have wanted her peace charm... She might still find her relatives... But all my relatives... have died long ago... I am a superfluous person in the world.

...There is no difference between living and dead...God should let me die...leave her behind...The two of us have been dependent on each other since childhood...she is dead...I am living alone...and

What's the meaning……"

She murmured sadly to herself. Yue Su and Ruan Aoyue stood aside without saying a word. After a while, Zimei said quietly again: "Master Yue, I want to see my sister's body, is that okay?"

I want to sit up.

Ruan Aoyue quickly held her down and said softly: "Girl, your injuries are still serious. Don't be reckless. She turned to look at Yue Su, "Husband, hurry up and have the body of that girl brought in."

Yue Su nodded and said: "Zhang Wei, Wang Shun, go and bring the girl's body in."

"Yes, sir." The two of them took the order and went out, and soon Han Lian's body was brought in.

Han Lian's body was placed on the ground. She was already stiff, and the blood on her chest was stained by the blood on her clothes. Yin Hong. Yue Su stepped aside. Ruan Aoyue and Mei'er helped support Zimei so that she could turn and look around a little.

Holding Hanlian's body, Zimei's tears gurgled down, and she said to herself sadly again. "Sister, I didn't expect that we would die in the hands of Master instead of Master Yue's sword. Master doesn't believe us so much."

Why, he still wants to keep an eye on us and kill us to silence us... You and I were raised by him... We have always regarded him as a relative... But he... has always treated us as a tool... Everything in the world...

...I have seen through it...Sister...When my sister avenges you...I will go down and accompany you...We will always be good sisters..."

Zimei's tears flowed more and more. Mei'er took out a handkerchief and wiped her tears and nose. After crying for a long time, Zimei finally said: "Master Yue... thank you for taking care of me... just ask for anything you want to know."

Ask...I just hope you can agree to one condition..."

"Girl, you tell me, I will agree to any condition you have. I will even open a wide margin and let you live." Yue Su said with certainty.

"My hands are stained with blood... I have long been forgiven for my sins... I have been living in trouble all these years... I have always been used as a tool by others... If I didn't have my sister by my side... I would be no different from the walking dead... Now

My sister is dead... I don't want to linger... I just ask you to promise me... after I die... bury my sister and me together..." Zimei said with tears in her eyes.

"Girl, why are you doing this? An ant can live in vain, let alone a human being? Since my husband said that he can keep you alive, why do you insist on dying? By the way, didn't you just say that your sister still has relatives?

, you two sisters are deeply in love, she has an unfulfilled wish, you can help her fulfill it. Otherwise, you tell the master where your sister is from, and the master will spread the documents and help you search, maybe you can find her."

Ruan Aoyue advised softly.

Her words really had an effect. After hearing this, Zimei's eyes lit up and she said to herself: "Yes... my sister has always wanted to see her relatives again... she often holds the peace charm and cries... she really seems to see her

As for her parents...if she can really find her parents...ask her parents to visit her grave...she is under the Nine Springs...she should be able to rest in peace...sister...by then...sister

I'll go down and stay with you..."

With this thought in her mind, Zimei looked at Yue Su and said pleadingly: "Master Yue, you can really help me find my sister's relatives..."

"As long as you tell her where she is from, I can help you find her." This is not Yue Su's boast. With his current identity and status, when he goes to say hello anywhere, the local officials will feel like they have received an imperial edict.

Do the same.

"I remember that Master picked her up on the way to Hangzhou. Maybe we can find her relatives there." Zimei said quietly.

"Hangzhou, Zhejiang..." Yue Su nodded and said, "Do you have any tokens that can identify her with her relatives?"

Mei struggled to take out the peace amulet Han Lian gave her from her collar. "This is the amulet my sister has worn around her neck since she was a child. It should have been left behind by her parents when they abandoned her."

This peace amulet is very special. Both in terms of workmanship and texture, it is several times better than the amulets in ordinary temples. At first glance, it does not belong to ordinary people. There is also a special symbol painted on the amulet. This symbol is very special.

It's strange. It doesn't look like a Buddhist or Taoist symbol. Perhaps it was left behind intentionally by Han Lian's parents as a mark of recognition in the future.

Yue Su nodded again and said: "In this way, after the case is over, I will send a letter to Zhejiang and ask the Hangzhou prefect for help, and make a list to search for it. I only said that this matter is important, so I don't dare to disobey him."

Even though Yue Su is the governor of Henan and has no control over the ground in Zhejiang, he is still the leading minister of the Ministry of Punishment. As long as he says that the matter involves an important case on the grounds of official business and orders the Hangzhou prefect to handle it immediately, the people in Hangzhou still dare not delay.

Mr. Yue has a good reputation, and Zimei is very grateful for his recognition. She said sincerely: "Thank you for your help, sir. Zimei knows all the things you want to ask, so I will tell you, and I hope you can keep your promise."

"

"This department has always kept its promise. This is just a small task for me. Since you are the master, I will never fail to do it." Yue Su said solemnly.

"Okay then, I will tell you everything you want to know."

Although Wentian raised Zimei and Hanlian, he always used them as killing tools. There was kindness in raising them, but no affection. Zimei and Hanlian grew up together when they were young. It can be said that they were in love.

The same sisters are several times closer than real sisters. Her sister died because she gave her the amulet, and she didn't die because she had her sister's amulet. So Zimei felt very guilty about Hanlian. Although

The life and death of the two people may not necessarily have much to do with this amulet, but people at that time were superstitious and Zimei was not dead, so they immediately thought it was related to it.

It's this person who makes her want to avenge her sister and fulfill her unfulfilled wish. She doesn't have the ability to take revenge and find Han Lian's relatives in the vast sea of ​​people, so the only thing that can help her do it now is

Yes, there is only Yue Su in front of me.

Since he is a killer, he naturally knows how to exchange. She also believed that Yue Su would not break his promise and get rich. At that moment, she quietly told everything she knew.

Zimei is an orphan. She has not known who her parents are since she was a child. She was adopted by Wentian first. At that time, she followed Wentian all over the world, and she often had to avoid being chased by her enemies. When she was traveling to Hangzhou, Wentian

They saw the abandoned Han Lian again, so they also took her back. Zimei and Han Lian didn't know who Wentian was. They just followed Wentian around and wandered around. Similarly, enemies would come to find her every year and start a bloody battle.

However, his enemy is quite upright. Every time he comes, it is not difficult for the two children, but they only look for Wentian. The enemy's kung fu is also much higher than that of Wentian. Wentian has been able to escape from death several times.

They all relied on using Han Lian and Zimei as shields. For this reason, they also left many scars on the children. Ten years ago, Wentian fled to Jiujiang Prefecture, Jiangxi Province, and was caught up by the enemy again. This time

He was very cunning and did not give Wentian any chance to take advantage of the child. He almost killed Wentian, seriously injured him and fled. Wentian happened to run into Zou Jiaren, the then prefect of Jiujiang. Zou Jiaren saved his life and planned to kill him.

The enemy had an arm, but he still escaped. From then on, the enemy disappeared. Wentian was grateful to Zou Jiaren for saving his life, and joined the Zou Mansion as a housekeeper. The two girls also followed there, but they never lived there.

Zou Mansion, but in the outer residence. As Zou Jiaren was promoted, Wentian followed him to Huguang and then to Henan.

Zou Jiaren's son, Zou Feng, was a prodigal son, but he also liked to be arty. He had no talent, but he always got together with some literati. When he arrived in Kaifeng, Zou Feng was the same, and he was the most famous person in Kaifeng at that time.

They thought that he was the son of the chief envoy, so they couldn't show off his face, so they dated him. One time, when eight people were drinking, a young man named Zhang got drunk and accidentally said that the family

There is a rare treasure called Blood Agate. It is said that this treasure is very weird. As long as you sleep with it, you can avoid all diseases and even live forever. At the same time, there is also a legend about this.

The reason why the blood agate is called this is because it can drink blood, and it can only drink the blood of babies who have just fallen to the ground, and it must be a baby that has never drunk anything. Wait until it drinks the blood slowly, and the person who owns it will

It can give you immortality. But this is just a legend. Doing this is extremely harmful to your moral character. Mr. Zhang has never tried it, and he has never tried it when his ancestors got this treasure.

After Zou Feng heard this legend, he wanted to get this treasure in his mind. He was the son of the Chief Minister, and his family had power and wealth. Master Zhang couldn't resist his hard and soft tactics, so he sold the Bloody Agate for 10,000 taels.

Give it to Zou Feng. After Zou Feng got the baby, he couldn't wait to test it. He sent people to look for families with expectant mothers. After finding out, he sent dead soldiers to snatch the baby on the day of delivery. Not to mention, he would snatch the baby back.

After slaughtering, when the blood is poured onto the agate, it can really be absorbed, but only a small part can be absorbed. If you want to wait for the agate to be fully absorbed, it will take thousands of babies to drink it.

of blood.

But Zou Feng seemed to be possessed by a demon. Seeing that the experiment was successful, he kept sending people to find pregnant women and snatch the babies. The demon in his heart was obsessed with his true nature, and he even refused to let go of people he knew.

However, when he heard that the wives of the seven young masters named Zhang and Liu were ten months pregnant and about to give birth, he also sent dead soldiers to snatch them away.

There were so many incidents of stealing babies in the city. The Seventh Young Master quickly thought that it was Zou Feng. At that time, he was afraid of the strength of the Zou family and did not dare to report it. He did not expect that Zou Feng was so cruel that he would not even let their child go.

However, now, the Seventh Young Master finally became angry and planned to jointly report.

The old and spicy Zou Jiaren also knew about this. Zou Feng was his son, and he could not destroy his son. In desperation, he sent people to kill all the Seventh Young Masters overnight. He also set a fire, causing the fire.

It seems. It happened that that day, the Seventh Young Master was outside discussing where to report the matter, so he escaped a disaster. But Zou Jiaren did not give up there, and continued to send people to kill the Seventh Young Master to silence him, only forcing the seven people so that they did not dare to reveal themselves.

’ heads were hidden in the countryside. Just like this, he got rid of them one by one.

The seven young masters all had honors, and all seven families were killed. With such an answer, there must be an explanation for this matter. The prefect Miyanomori sent people to investigate day and night. The incident just happened, and he wanted to find some clues.

It was relatively easy, but just when he was about to find out the case, Zou Jiaren came forward. He gave Zimei and Hanlian to Gong Naisen, plus five thousand taels of silver. The boss said that he must give face to him,

In the end, Miyanosen could only announce to the outside world that the seven families were killed by suicide, and the case was slowly put to rest.

Until Yue Su was governor of Henan Province, Zou Jiaren was worried that someone would come to Yue Su to redress his grievances, so he could not come forward, so he asked Gong Naisen to send someone. Gong Naisen acted on the order and sent someone to meet Yue Su at the intersection of the governor's Yamen. After discovering it, Zou Jiaren

Fearing that Yue Su would find out the truth from Gong Naisen, Han Lian and Zimei forced Gong Naisen and the housekeeper Gong Yu to death.
