Chapter 1021
What a good Li Shanzhao, is he really planning to suppress the bandits? I'm afraid he wants to use the suppression of bandits to eradicate all the insiders. Not only that, he also wants to express his merits to others. On the surface, he is attacking Mr. Song, but in fact, he is attacking
Came with him.
His death can be blamed on the bandits afterwards. Why?
When Zheng Tong thought about how Li Shanzhao was promoted to the prefecture when he was just a county magistrate, he must have contributed to this!
Now, Li Shanzhao has not only crossed the river and burned down the bridge, but over the years, he has used his mother as a coercion. He has taken credit from him many times and never given any reward. Now he wants to kill him in order to protect himself!
Zheng Tong's chest seemed to be blocked,
"My lord, leave quickly!" Zheng Tong instantly pushed Song Qingming aside: "Their target is me, and they must not harm your lord!"
However, the hidden arrows were fired from all around frequently, and the two of them could not avoid it. No matter how stupid Song Qingming was, he could see that they were all aimed at Zheng Tong. They were clearly using him to do the deed, but it was Zheng Tong who assassinated him!
Even though Song Qingming had seen many quarrels and quarrels in the Zichen Palace, and had suffered hidden losses before, he was still frightened by the current situation. He and Zheng Tong tried their best to find a place where they could take shelter, hide the two of them, and try to find a chance to survive in the darkness.
Teng, I don't know where the sound came from, a bunch of firelight lit up in the dark night, the hair on both of them stood up, and suddenly they heard a shocked smile: "The prefect of your place is really eye-opening, he has such thoughts
It would be great if it could be used for the people."
This sound?! Song Qingming suddenly burst into tears, Qin Feng!
The killer hiding in the dark immediately raised his bow and drew an arrow when he saw the fire. He was so naive that in the dark of night, the light he held was his life gate!
But before they could draw the bow, they felt a slight pain in their necks, and before they could react, they collapsed to the ground, lifeless!
Hearing the sound of the corpse falling to the ground, Song Qingming and Zheng Tong leaned closely together, looking at the place where the fire was lit with their four eyes. When they saw clearly, they both breathed a sigh of relief. The torch was stuck on the ground.
There is no one around.ωωw.
However, the place suddenly fell into a strange silence, as if there was only a heartbeat.
Qin Feng sneered in the night. The opponent was experienced. Li Shanzhao did have brains and courage, but it was a pity that he used it in the wrong place. With his arrangement today, he would not lose to those old foxes in Sui City.
However, the poisonous needle in his hand killed all the archers hiding in the dark, but there was one missing.
The man Qin Feng didn't notice was moving slowly, trying to get behind Song Qingming and Zheng Tong. He attacked from behind without knowing it. Seeing that he was approaching the target, a ferocious smile appeared on the corner of the man's mouth.
Still unsuccessful this time?
He was about to take action when his body suddenly tensed up. It was too late when he felt the murderous aura behind him. A pair of hands suddenly strangled his neck, and with a click, Song Qingming turned around, and a black shadow sank behind them, revealing his standing position.
The shadow behind him.
"Master Song, are you okay?" This voice sounded, and Song Qingming sat down on the ground. It was the princess, Her Royal Highness!
She actually killed someone, and still pulled her neck with her bare hands. Is this still the Xiao Lingyao he knew?
What shocked him even more was the person walking from the pile of corpses. Although he was in disguise, he knew it was Qin Feng. When he stood up and saw clearly the corpse behind Qin Feng with no trace of trauma, he said in shock: "
You, you did it?"
"What the poisonous needle did, they hid in the dark and hurt people, these are their consequences." Qin Feng said slowly: "Master Song, are you okay?"
"Nothing." It was just a minor injury, which was much better than being killed.
Song Qingming looked at the disappointed Zheng Tong beside him and whispered: "They are not here for me, they want to kill Zheng Tongpan!"
Zheng Tong had long lost his mind. When he heard what Song Qingming said, he suddenly cried bitterly: "Xiaguan's mother must have fallen into the hands of the prefect. It doesn't matter if Xiaguan dies, but the mother is innocent and she knows nothing!"
"
"Then what does Mr. Zheng know?" Xiao Lingyao walked over quickly: "That's why Magistrate Li wanted to kill you quickly. His move was very smart. He plotted against the bandits, Mr. Song, and you.
He even plotted against the imperial court!"
Zheng Tong was stunned, and Qin Feng looked behind him. It was only a matter of time before the Feilong Army dealt with those bandits. It was not advisable to stay here for a long time.
"Let's talk in another place," Qin Feng said: "This matter needs to be discussed in the long term."
Song Qingming helped Zheng Tong up without saying a word, left behind the officialdom, the carriage and the horses that had long since broken free and ran wildly to who knows where. The four of them looked after each other and walked towards the woods on the side, and walked deeper into the distance.
Behind them, the killers who came to attack had laid their bodies down. When the blood-stained Feilong Army found this place, they saw corpses everywhere, the overturned carriage, and the messy reins on the ground. The two adults,
Missing.
In the dead of night in the second half of the night, Song Qingming and Zheng Tong huddled in a cave. This was also where Achen and the others lived before. The little bandit leader did have two brushes and was particularly cautious when choosing a hiding place. Seven Bends here
Baguai is extremely sensible.
There was some food left by them inside, but Zheng Tong was so depressed that he couldn't eat or drink anything.
What happened tonight had a huge impact on him. Thinking that he was being treated as the trump card that was about to be taken away, he smiled bitterly.
Song Qingming looked at the two people who were still acting like nothing happened after killing the people, and shrank his hands and feet: "Li Shanzhao's matter will be investigated by Chengkun on his own. Zheng Tongpan, what are your plans? Li Shanzhao has murderous intentions towards you, he must not
I will just let you go."
Qin Feng smiled in his heart and glanced over, but Song Qingming avoided it. He felt guilty, he was building a bridge for Qin Feng now!
Zheng Tong is the person he likes, but unfortunately it is difficult to take him away according to the rules of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. Leaving him here is a sheep in the tiger's mouth. If Qin Feng and Xiao Lingyao had not appeared in time tonight, Zheng Tong's life would have been premature.
Gone.
"Sir, this world belongs to Dongyue. I am a low-ranking official who holds an official position. If I leave without resigning, there will be no Zheng Tong in the Dongyue officialdom in the future, and I will be held accountable," Zheng Tong said with a bitter smile: "
Now I don’t even know how my mother is doing.”
Li Shanzhao was able to cast such a large net, and he was just a link in it, and his mother would certainly not be able to escape.
Thinking of his widowed mother who had worked so hard to raise her to adulthood but had not enjoyed a few years of happiness, Zheng Tong gritted his teeth and said: "The relief funds for drought relief have already come down, but Magistrate Li only handed over one-third, leaving the remaining one-third.
Both of them are missing."
"They are sure that the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, so the imperial court will not send anyone to investigate, and they act recklessly. Not only that, the supplementary grains distributed to the people are also old grains, which are infested with worms. The new grains flow into the black market and are sold at high prices. Money
