"Drag him up. He's finished." Zhang Yanling shouted in a deep voice.
Chen Shi hurriedly led people down the slope. A few dozen steps away, Shen Liang fell into a pool of blood and died. After the body was dragged up, everyone saw Shen Liang's death under the light of the fire. Like. There are seven or eight blood holes in the back of the heart that are bleeding out. There are also two blood holes in the back of the skull.
Chen Shiyi and Zhang Yin looked at each other with awe in their hearts.
"What kind of firearm are you using? How can it be fired so fast without igniting it?" Chen Shiyi asked in shock.
Zhang Yanling smiled and said: "It's the firearm I improved. I don't have time to explain it in detail today, it will rain soon. I will capture the body and dispose of it, and I will explain it to you two in detail another day."
Chen Shiyi and Zhang Yin agreed. Chen Shiyi suddenly remembered a conversation he had with Zhang Yanling a few months ago. At that time, he said that he wanted to protect Zhang Yanling's safety, but Zhang Yanling said that even a master of martial arts might not be his opponent. At that time, he I thought he was bragging.
At this moment, Chen Shiyi finally understood that Zhang Yanling's words were definitely not nonsense. Such a firearm fires quickly and is so powerful that it does not even need to be ignited. He barely saw Zhang Yanling's movements before he would escape dozens of steps away. Shen Liang shot and killed him. From a distance of nearly thirty steps, he was able to penetrate the human body and brain bones so fiercely. It was really shocking.
Obviously, a large number of iron sand shotguns were shot. Military firearms are probably scratching their heads at this distance. If it hits a person's body at close range, countless shotguns will probably shatter the human flesh and blood into pieces. And in a large area No matter how high your martial arts skills are, it will be in vain to bombard you with shotgun shells at close range. At least you have absolutely no confidence that you can escape.
The night wind gradually became fierce, clouds gathered in the sky, and lightning was already shining in the clouds. Everyone knew that the weather was about to change, and they hurried to bury the bodies.
After widening the dug grave, all the corpses were thrown in. Although it was very crowded, that was all.
"It's a pity that I didn't find out where this guy's thirty thousand taels of silver was hidden. Otherwise, the brothers could still make a fortune." Chen Shiyi laughed softly while dragging Shen Liang's body into the tomb.
Zhang Yanling said solemnly: "You must not have this idea. Once Shen Liang dies, not a penny of his property can be touched. Anyone who reaches out will be deemed to be the murderer and will be caught."
Chen Shiyi was shocked and said hurriedly: "He should be punished for his humble position. He is just a joke."
Zhang Yanling nodded and said: "I know you are joking. But after what I did tonight, although I am fearless, I should be cautious when I should be cautious."
Chen Shiyi hurriedly said: "I understand."
The tomb was quickly filled up, and thick mud and stones were used to pile it up tightly. In order to prevent it from being dug up by wild dogs and wild animals and washed away by rain, everyone moved stones to cover the tomb, turning the entire tomb into a A huge pile of rocks was built, and the outside was covered with turf, piled with thorns, branches and stones, and pressed tightly down.
It won't take long for this place to be buried by weeds, and no traces will be discernible anymore. And in this barren land, no one will come to check it out in a lifetime. No one knows that there are more than ten people buried here. The Great Tomb of Man.
Zhang Yanling was very satisfied after the inspection. Looking at the big tomb, Zhang Yanling thought to herself: For Shen Liang, he died a worthy death. He wanted to see the woman's body in the tomb, and now he was lying inside with the woman's body on his pillow. .For the woman in the tomb, Little Jasmine, she was originally alone here, but now she is accompanied by a group of men. She was a prostitute during her lifetime, dealing with all kinds of men. This situation should be what she wants to see now. Arrive.
After everything was tidied up, the night sky was covered with clouds and there were already thunder and winds.
After Chen Shiyi and Zhang Yin organized the team, they asked Zhang Yanling if he wanted to leave. Zhang Yanling said solemnly: "I have a few words to say to you."
Zhang Yanling came to the front of the team, stood on a high slope and looked at everyone, and slowly said: "Brothers, if you participate in this matter today, some of you must feel very scared and uneasy. What happened here
You have witnessed everything with your own eyes. Let me tell you, you should feel honored because the actions tonight are not just for anyone.
Everyone can participate. I and Zhang Qianhu and Zheng Baihu have chosen you to come because you are all worthy of our trust. We regard you as brothers, so we will let you participate in tonight's event. Nanzhen
Among the thousands of people in Fusi, only a few dozen brothers like you have such trust. Therefore, there is no need to doubt or worry, but rather feel honored."
All the Jinyi guards shouted: "Thank you, Mr. Zhenfu, Zhang Qianhu, and Chen Baihu for your trust."
Zhang Yanling nodded and smiled: "Very good. We have secretly inspected all the brothers here and determined your abilities and character. We believe that you are not only trustworthy but also worthy of cultivation, so we will allow you to participate in this confidential matter."
.All brothers performed very well tonight, and I am very satisfied. Appropriate rewards and promotions will be given later."
"Thank you, Lord Zhenfu." All the lieutenants said in unison.
Zhang Yanling nodded and said: "Actually, some small awards and promotions are not worthy of your thanks. I have higher requirements for you. Brothers, life is short and short. If you just do some camp dogs
To fight for some small profits, to shed tears of joy for such a small amount of silver is to live up to the life God has given you."
The lieutenants silently looked at Zhang Yanling's figure standing above. In the dark sky, Zhang Yanling stood there, arms crossed, and the cloak behind him rustled in the strong wind.
"... A man is born between heaven and earth, and it is an earth-shattering event... From now on, you will be the ones who will follow me, Zhang Yanling, to do great things." Zhang Yanling's voice was so loud that it even drowned out the faint sound of rolling thunder in the clouds.
"You follow me, Zhang Yanling, and I will protect you from glory, wealth, high rank, and good salary. Among you will be generals, commanders, ministers, and governors. There will also be marquises and dukes. But in fact, these are nothing more. What's more important is
Yes, I want you all to become famous all over the world and admired by everyone.
Protect the Ming Dynasty, protect the people of the world, and protect all living things. That is what you really want to do. If you do this, the glory, wealth, high officials, and salary will naturally roll in. In fact, they are just incidental things. You
Do you understand what I mean?"
Everyone looked at each other, some were confused, and some seemed to understand. After all, they were all ordinary captains, and they didn't quite understand the big principles suddenly spoken by Master Zhenfu. But for some reason, it sounded like they didn't understand.
It looks very powerful, it feels like the blood in the body starts to heat up faster.
Zhang Yanling shouted sharply: "I ask you if you understand?"
Along with these words, a thunderous rumble rolled through the air, shocking everyone.
Everyone shouted involuntarily: "I understand, I understand!"
Zhang Yanling laughed and said: "Very good. I don't care if you understand it or not, but what I want is your attitude. Whether you understand it or not, one day you will understand what I am talking about."
"What the Marquis means is that from now on, we will get rid of bad guys like Shen Liang one by one. Killing Shen Liang is called eliminating harm and violence for the people. This will be the same for everything we do in the future. I don't know what the villain understands. Right?" a captain said loudly.
Zhang Yanling laughed loudly and said: "Very good, you can understand it that way. What this brother said is very true. From now on, we must eradicate violence and kill harmful things like Shen Liang. But we should act with discretion and rules, and we must enforce orders and prohibitions. Do your duty faithfully and do as you are told. This is an iron rule. For example, what should I do if I return to the Yamen today or if someone inquires about me in the future?"
"Then there's no need to ask. He's tight-lipped and won't reveal even a single word. Anyone who doesn't keep his mouth shut will become a traitor. That's the fate of Yuan Bin." A school captain said loudly.
"Very good." Zhang Yanling nodded with satisfaction. She smiled at Chen Shiyi and Zhang Yin and said, "Brothers, please gather your team and return to the city."
Chen Shiyi and Zhang Yin accepted the promise, and when everyone left Dongshan, they mounted their horses and galloped away.
Half an hour later, a heavy rain finally arrived amidst lightning and thunder. The heavy rain poured down, and the messy traces on the slopes of Dongshan Mountain and the blood stains on the ground also disappeared under the wash of the heavy rain.
…
Three days later, Zhang Yanling went to the general office to ask for a meeting with Mou Bin, and reported to Mou Bin the sudden disappearance of more than a dozen people, including Shen Liang, from the Fusi Office in Nanzhen.
Mou Bin was shocked when he heard this.
"How is that possible? You mean, they are missing?"
"Master Mou, I don't want to think so, but... I'm afraid this matter is true. Shen Liang was demoted during this period and was in a bad mood. I didn't pay much attention to his affairs. Until yesterday afternoon, Someone reported to me that Shen Liang and his more than ten famous captains had not come to the Yamen for several days, nor had they greeted anyone. I then asked someone to inquire about this matter. At Shen Liang’s home, several brothers living in the city I sent people to ask at home. The feedback I got was that Shen Liang and the others hadn't returned home for three days. Only then did I feel that something was wrong. Even if I didn't come to the Yamen, I wouldn't even go home. Right." Zhang Yanling said.
Mou Bin frowned and said, "Have all the brothels and brothels in the city been inspected?"
Zhang Yanling said: "I personally led the team and checked all the brothels and restaurants in the inner and outer cities, but there was no news about them. However, some people said that the day before yesterday, they seemed to see Shen Liang leading more than ten famous school captains out of the city."
"Leaving the city?" Mou Bin was even more confused.
"The news is not confirmed, and the witnesses didn't see it clearly. After all, it was dusk. But it is definitely our Jinyiwei people who left the city. Sir Mou, can you check other yamen to see if anyone left the city from the east city gate at dusk the day before yesterday. Maybe we can judge. Is it Shen Liang and the others?" Zhang Yanling asked.
"I'll check it out," Mou Bin said thoughtfully.
Zhang Yanling said in a deep voice: "Sir, there is another situation I want to report to you. I asked Shen Liang's staff. During this period, due to his demotion, Shen Liang was in a bad mood and made some unpleasant remarks in the office. Good words. I also said some self-destructive words. He said, "I want to go to the Western Mountains to be a bandit.", and said, "I've been offended and defected to the Tartars." I was very worried after hearing these words. I have brought all the people's confessions, sir. Please review them for reference. I have warned these people not to talk nonsense."
Zhang Yanling handed a stack of inquiry records to Mou Bin. Mou Bin sneered and said, "Do you believe this?"
Zhang Yanling shook his head and said: "Of course I don't believe it, otherwise I wouldn't tell them to shut up. Mr. Mou, I am very worried now that there is unrest around the capital and there are Tatars. If Shen Liang and the others really leave the city, what will happen? Will they be ambushed by the Tatars? Will they lose their lives? Hey, I am really worried about their safety. How can I not see people alive or dead? I have an ominous premonition, and 99% of the time I will encounter them. Tatars."
Mou Bin looked strange and said for a long time: "Master Hou, don't think such a thing will happen. The general government will deal with this matter. Please come back, Master Hou. I know this matter. It doesn't matter whether Shen Liang dies or not." No matter how good you are, it is a violation of military discipline to disappear privately for several days this time. I will send someone to look for it. If they are not found, they will be removed from the list. As for who surrendered to the enemy, who became a bandit, and who was killed by the Tatars. , Lord Marquis can’t talk nonsense outside. That would be detrimental to both you and me.”
"Okay, okay, I humbly obey my orders." Zhang Yanling said.
"Master Marquis, there are some things that we don't have to say explicitly, we can just keep it tacit. But one thing is, I don't want anything to happen to you in Nanzhen Fusi again. That's it for now." Mou Bin said again in a cold voice.
Zhang Yanling smacked her lips and said, "Master Mou's words are really hard to understand."
