Chapter 97 The corpse
The snake catcher raised the steel fork. The man was not dead yet, and his body was still struggling in the air. The snake catcher looked ferocious and laughed in his throat. It seemed that watching someone die was a great pleasure.
Yang Ning's back felt cold. He thought this was just an ordinary snake catcher, but now it seems that this snake catcher is not a good person. He just rushed out of the weeds. Although he was thick, his movements were very agile and he made extremely fast moves. He pierced the throat of a big man in one move. This was definitely not a skill that an ordinary snake catcher could have.
When Yang Ning saw his clothes and dressed, he found that the snake-catching man had a headscarf rolled up his head. Suddenly, he thought of the prince of Shu whom he met in the capital. The headscarf was a bit similar to those of the servants under the prince of Shu.
He knew that this was a very common outfit in Bashu area, but this place was Jingnan, not Shu area, but he didn't know why this person appeared in this Xiashan.
The big man struggled a few times, his body gradually became weak, and his limbs finally drooped down. The snake catcher then gently swung the big man's body and threw the steel fork to the ground. Then he inserted the steel fork beside him and took something from his arms. In the darkness, Yang Ning couldn't see clearly. He saw the snake catcher pouring powder into the corpse. He was puzzled and thought to himself that the big man was dead, and what mystery was this snake catcher doing.
The snake catcher poured some powder on the corpse, then put the thing in his arms, passed it over again, cut the remaining snake into pieces and threw it into the leather bag.
Yang Ning smelled a fishy smell and was wondering, but he found a sensation of white smoke suddenly emanating from the corpse, and the smoke was quite dim, but Yang Ning still saw it very clearly.
The snake catcher obviously often catches snakes, and he is very skillful in cutting snakes. He cuts the whole snake in a moment, then gets up, holds a steel fork in one hand and a leather bag in the other, but he doesn't even look at the corpse and turns away.
Yang Ning was sure that the snake catcher would go away, and then approached him. He only took a look and almost vomited. He saw that only half of the man's body was left, with flesh and flesh ulcers and white bones. The upper body and the belt bones had disappeared, leaving only a pool of blood on the ground. At this moment, the remaining half of the body was still rotting and festering rapidly, and the fishy smell was emitted from the corpse.
Yang Ning covered his nose and his back felt cold. Although this man was not a good bird, the snake catcher easily killed it and melted his body. He was cruel and ruthless. He was really vicious. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, who would have thought that a person would completely disappear from the world in just a short period of time.
Suddenly, a low bird song sounded, and came from the air. Yang Ning looked up and saw a big bird like a goshawk flying past the sky above his head, but the sound was like a wild beast.
Yang Ning knew that there was a vicious snake catcher in the mountain, and he was even more careful. He thought that the snake catcher had just ambushed and then suddenly attacked without asking about the blue and red. He should be more careful and not be suddenly attacked by the snake catcher.
He saw the direction the snake catcher left just now, and although he was very confused about the origin of the man, he was already being chased by someone, so there was no need to cause more trouble with the past and touched him in the other direction.
The Qi family's old house was controlled by a group of people, and for several years, the Marquis's Mansion, far away in the capital, knew nothing about this, which was naturally shocking.
What surprised Yang Ning even more was that after these people used Qi Cheng to control the old house, they still sent taxes to Beijing for three years. It is precisely for this reason that the Marquis' Mansion has never raised doubts, but why are these people's purpose for such a group of people? They have been here for three years. If there is really a conspiracy, it is definitely not a trivial matter.
The leader of this group of people seemed to be the accountant Zhao Yuan, who was called the "judge", but Yang Ning felt that there was only someone else who controlled the situation later.
Marquis of Jinyi is a family of meritorious families in the empire and has a high status. Even those high-ranking officials and important officials in the court may not dare to attack Marquis of Jinyi easily. Zhao Yuan and his group of people dared to control the old house and even set up traps to frame Prince Jinyi. This is certainly not something that ordinary people dare to do.
The warehouse set up a trap and used the mist and rainy begonia to force Gu Qinghan to do a slutty life with her. This method is despicable, but this is definitely not the beginning.
Zhao Yuan also made it clear that if you want to control yourself with this matter, of course there will be a bigger conspiracy afterwards.
If he could escape, of course he would have to eliminate these people. But Yang Ning also knew that these people would have power in business here for several years. If he relied on his own to show off his courage, he would not only not be able to eliminate these people, but he would be afraid that he would suffer. Therefore, before taking action, he would definitely transfer people. The best way is to mobilize troops from the prefect of Jiangling before surrounding and killing them.
As the Prince of Jinyi, it should not be difficult to mobilize troops and horses to the prefect of Jiangling.
Just as I was thinking about where to go after I escaped, I heard a strong wind blowing beside me, and a sharp blade had already chopped down from the side.
Yang Ning reacted very quickly and did not dodge. Instead, he bent down slightly and leaned towards the direction where the strong wind came. He was hitting a man. He was extremely fast. The man obviously didn't expect Yang Ning to come like this. Yang Ning used all his strength to hit him. The man screamed "Ouch", but this man was strong and Yang Ning was thin. After the collision, the man took two steps back but did not fall down.
杨宁当然不会给他第二次出刀的机会,这种时候,对敌人的仁慈就是对自己的犯罪,手臂伸出,寒刃已经没入了对方的心口.
He knew the vital points of the human body. Although he was in a hurry, he easily judged the vital points of the other party. The cold blade easily pierced into the person's heart, then pulled it out immediately, and went to the side. The man's body shook and fell to the ground. Yang Ning looked at the man's clothes and knew it was Zhao Yuan and his gang.
Suddenly, a sneer was heard, "The prince is indeed a good method, but you have no way out." It was Zhao Yuan's voice. Yang Ning looked up and saw a few steps away, a figure standing there, holding something in his hand. When he looked closely, it was an arrow crossbow, facing him.
"The prince was born in the Wusect, so of course he knew what it was." Zhao Yuan smiled and said, "Just just use a light knock, the prince's life will be reimbursed here."
Yang Ning's eyes became cold. He heard a sound behind him. He turned around and saw two people holding big knives on their left and right, looking at him coldly.
"You are Qi Ning?" One person was shocked when he saw Yang Ning's face, and then grinned and said, "So you are the Prince of Jinyi. I didn't expect that we would meet so soon. You were so arrogant in Luwang Village before, and even General Manager Luo broke his tendons by you, which made him unable to get up again, but he didn't expect it to fall into our hands, right?"
When Yang Ning heard this, he knew that this person must be one of the followers who followed General Manager Luo to Luwang Village.
Zhao Yuan said "Oh", looked up and down at Yang Ning several times, and said with a smile: "It turns out that you are the one who attacked Luwang Village? It's better to meet than to be famous. I only think that Prince Jinyi is really an incompetent and mediocre talent. Now it seems that Prince is hidden." He took two steps forward, "You are much smarter than I expected... The short knife in your hand should be a sharp blade that breaks the wall, right? This sharp blade is really great if you can break the wall in a short time."
"Zhao Yuan..., Oh, no, I should call you a judge." Yang Ning stared at Zhao Yuan's eyes, but also prevented the two people from attacking behind him. "What do you mean by setting up all kinds of traps?"
赵渊冲着杨宁手中寒刃努了努嘴,道:“世子还是先放下刀子再说.”
"You three are here, and there are arrows and crossbows in your hands. Are you still afraid of me?" Yang Ning sneered: "Even the old house of Marquis Jinyi dares to occupy it. I thought you were very brave."
Zhao Yuan smiled and said, "You prince in Jinyi is too cunning. I have always been careful in doing things and will never cause trouble for myself. I am still worried about the knife in your hand." The crossbow in my hand was pushed forward, "The prince is still obedient, otherwise I will be anxious and accidentally, the crossbow will be shot out."
Yang Ning sneered and threw the Han Blade at his feet. Zhao Yuan then sighed: "The prince doesn't have to work so hard. If you honestly enjoy the joy of fish and water with Gu Qinghan in the warehouse, you might be able to survive, but now I can't guarantee it."
"Oh?" Yang Ning smiled and said, "You have no handle on this prince and cannot threaten this prince, so you want to kill this prince here?"
Zhao Yuan said: "The prince seems very smart and he guessed the problem at once."
"I'm just very surprised. Since you have the fragrance, why bother to trick me into the Hongsha River granary?" Yang Ning asked: "Isn't it convenient for you to control the old house and set up a trap in the old house?"
Zhao Yuan smiled and said, "I said that I must be foolproof when doing things. It is not impossible to let you and Gu Qinghan lie on the same bed in the old house, but then you will not be able to find an excuse to let many people see you together. Without outsiders, it will be difficult to achieve the effect. Besides, the people you brought under your command are not good at plagues. This matter must be done so that people cannot see the flaws."
"It was indeed a painstaking design." Yang Ning said: "Those people in the old house know that I am going out to find the third wife, so how can you seal everyone's mouth?"
"The prince underestimated us too much. In recent years, they could not see any flaws, but they were afraid of Qi Cheng. To be honest, Qi Cheng's words in the old house are more useful than you, the prince." Zhao Yuan said calmly: "Actually, there is no need for us to talk about what happened before. The prince should think about how to save his life now."
Yang Ning laughed and said, "The arrow is in your hands. I am now bare-handed. If I want to survive, of course I can only follow your requirements."
"Those who know the current affairs are heroes." Zhao Yuan also smiled, "The prince is so enlightened, it seems that we can discuss it well." Suddenly, he raised an arm and threw something at Yang Ning. Yang Ning reached out to take it, but it was a small porcelain bottle. Zhao Yuan had already said: "There are two pills inside. As long as the prince swallows it, he can survive."
