Chapter 156: Debt Collection (4)

He gently covered the door and heard the heart-wrenching coughing sounds in the room. Cheng Pingzhi sighed, walked down the stairs heavily, and walked step by step into the backyard of the inn. ⊙

He was transferred to the Ministry of Revenue in Beijing and served as Minister of the Secretariat.

There is no question of promotion. He was originally a rank-in official. This time, at best, it was only a balanced reign. But what made him happy was that he finally left the place where Anyang County was frightening. Since the death camp incident, he had almost never slept well for a night. When he closed his eyes, he seemed to see countless ferocious people rushing towards him with machetes.

It was his own way to deceive the death camp into the city. He made full use of the little bit of incense between him and tempted them into the city. At that time, in Anyang City, except for himself, no one else could deceive the death camp into the city.

This made him feel uneasy.

He felt that he was not a bad person, but he played a very disgraceful role in this matter. He knew that the other party was wronged, but he still became an accomplice and sent those men who killed the enemy for the country on a path of no return.

The only thing that can comfort himself and calm his heart is that he is doing it according to orders. As a minister of Great Chu, it is his duty to do it according to orders and abide by the imperial edict.

The light car was in charge, and he quietly left Anyang City. Only his wife and his family were with him. His wife's illness was recurred because of the frightened night. Unfortunately, she could no longer find a miracle doctor like Shu Chang. Now Shu Chang has become a wanted criminal in the court.

Compared to the stuffy heat in the room, the yard was much cooler, especially the few big trees near the courtyard wall, dancing with the wind, and the sound of shaking leaves brought a cool evening breeze, which made his hot heart look a little calmer. Looking back at the room with lights on upstairs, every time I coughed, I could see the reflection on the window paper shaking violently. I wonder if my wife could still get through this level.

But it's still summer now. In winter, it's the wife's life and death juncture, and Cheng Pingzhi dared not think about it anymore.

There was a gentle sound of footsteps behind him. Cheng Pingzhi did not turn around, thinking that he was his family member who was accompanying him. "Go and take care of his wife. Don't worry about me, I'll sit up." He said.

The footsteps behind him stopped, and after a while, a voice suddenly sounded: "Mrs. Is it a disease again? It sounds much more serious than before!"

Cheng Pingzhi suddenly turned around, looking at Shu Chang, who appeared behind him like a ghost, as if he had seen a ghost, "You, you..."

"By the gift from Lord Cheng, I am now the imperial criminal of the court." Shu Chang smiled, walked to the stone table, and sat down directly. "Now I don't dare to go out during the day, and I can only wait until the night is quiet before I dare to come out like a ghost. What a coincidence, I actually met Lord Cheng here."

Cheng Pingzhi calmed down from the previous shock after Shu Chang said these words, looking at Shu Chang deeply, "Is it a coincidence?"

The smile on Shu Chang's face slowly faded away and looked at Cheng Pingzhi, "Mr. Cheng Jung-Governor, more than a thousand brothers died in the city, do you feel a little guilty?"

Cheng Pingzhi's face changed slightly, and after a while, he said, "As a minister of the Great Chu, Cheng was ordered to do it, and he had to do it. That night, the common people suffered heavy casualties. Do you know Shu Chang?"

Shu Chang sneered: "If you don't get this account, you should remember the head of the Death Camp? Or is it that when Lord Cheng thinks that when the knife is chopped on his head, the people in the Death Camp should stretch their necks longer to make it more comfortable for you to cut them!"

Cheng Pingzhi was silent, "Are you here to seek revenge on me?"

"I shouldn't have been here to find you." Shu Chang pointed to Cheng Pingzhi's rear. Cheng Pingzhi turned his head. At some point, under the shadow of a big tree behind him, there was a man holding an iron knife in his arms. Although the moonlight was bright, the man stood among the mottled shade of the trees and couldn't see his face clearly. "But I thought that we had known each other and had a little friendship, so I went over my affairs. If he was asked to come over, your death would inevitably be ugly."

Listening to Shu Chang's naked words, Cheng Pingzhi didn't seem to be surprised, "Can the doctor kill people?"

"The heart of the Bodhisattva, the method of thunder, you just don't understand me. How can the brothers in the Death Camp die in vain?" Shu Chang sneered and took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms, "It's just that I'm thinking about the friendship we have in the past, and I'll let you die a little more comfortable."

Cheng Pingzhi lowered his head and looked at his toes, but he did not respond for a while.

"Don't think about how to escape. Just three days ago, Xin Jianli, Yang Yi and the others had already given their heads, but their way of death was a little bit miserable." He pointed behind Cheng Pingzhi, "He made a move."

"Who is he?" Cheng Pingzhi stretched out his hand and held the porcelain bottle.

"Qin Feng!" Shu Chang said lightly. "You are surprised when he is alive?"

Cheng Pingzhi's hand shook slightly, and he almost threw away the porcelain bottle in his hand. He turned his head and looked at Qin Feng in the shadow. "It's indeed very surprising. I can't believe it. It seems that the court is lying to others again."

"It's not a lie. They think Qin Feng is indeed dead," Shu Chang smiled slightly.

Cheng Pingzhi nodded, "A drink and peck, there will be a decisive nature. When Zhang Xiaomao escaped from the city with hundreds of people from the Death Camp, I thought that one day I would definitely die, but I didn't expect that this day would come so quickly. This is retribution, Shu Chang, because of our past friendship, and also because your Death Camp was outside Anyang City. I was not bad to you. Can you please ask me something?"

"Madam's illness?"

"With your personality, you won't vent your anger on my family, right? Listen, she coughed so hard that I just worry that she can't get through it." Cheng Pingzhi pointed to the room where the lights were still on.

Shu Chang stood up and walked straight upstairs. Looking at Shu Chang's back, Cheng Pingzhi also stood up and raised the porcelain bottle in his hand to Qin Feng in the shadow, "I will pay you back all you owe you."

With his neck raised, Cheng Pingzhi drank the liquid in the porcelain bottle, sat down slowly, and slowly lay on the stone table. In the shadow, Qin Feng quietly disappeared.

The coughing sounds upstairs gradually subsided. As the lights were blown out, he walked out of the room and gently brought them to the door.

Anyang City, the county magistrate's office, An Ruhai, Tan Jun, Scissors and others all looked grim. The news just came shocked them. Xin Jianli died, Yang Yi died, Cheng Pingzhi died, and dozens of accompanying inner guards also died. They did not die for one day, but because of distance, their death news was sent to Anyang City on the same day.

Except for Tan Jun, the others present were insiders and participants in the death camp incident. At this moment, except Tan Jun, the others had already stirred up storms in their hearts.

"Is it because Zhang Xiao, who escaped into the Luoying Mountains, made a move?" Tan Jun asked.

An Ruhai shook his head slowly, "No, Zhang Xiaozheng is not as good as that." He pulled out a report from the arrival, "This is an autopsy report from the local government and the inner guards. The time between dozens of inner guards died was very short, and they were almost killed at the same time. Moreover, judging from the wounds and the scene, the person who took action had at least level nine or above."

Hearing An Ruhai's decisive judgment, the other people in the house gasped. There was only one level nine master in the entire Anyang city now, that is, An Ruhai standing in front of them.

"Before Yang Yi died, he was treated very violently. None of the bones on his body were intact and were cut off one by one." An Ruhai said with a dark face: "Xin Jianli's death is even more bizarre. He actually scratched himself to death. It's so hard to believe that the coroner speculated that he had been infected with some bizarre poison, and then he caught his intestines without knowing it."

"It's the doctor, it's the doctor Shu!" The scissors trembled slightly and murmured in a low voice.

"Who did you say?" An Ruhai turned his head and looked at him.

"Shu Chang, the doctor of the suicide camp, is the number one person on the wanted order. In addition to Qin Feng, he is the only one in the suicide camp. He has excellent medical skills, and of course, his level of poisoning cannot be lower." Suqian added.

"Is Shu Chang's martial arts cultivation very high? I haven't heard of it before."

"His martial arts cultivation is very low, and he is only at level four or five, so he can protect himself." The scissors took a deep breath and calmed himself down.

"So, at least two people were taking action. From time to time, Cheng Pingzhi should have taken action. If Cheng Pingzhi was not treated well, he would have committed suicide by taking poison." An Ruhai said: "It seems that there are still many things in the Death Camp, we don't know, for example, this level nine master who suddenly appeared."

"Or this person was invited by Shu Chang. Shu Chang has excellent medical skills and traveled around the world in her early years and had a wide range of friendships. It is not surprising to invite masters." said Scissors.

"You may make sense. From now on, the whole city of Anyang City will be martial law. If I guess correctly, they will definitely come to Anyang City. General Duan, you must be careful during this period."

"What should come will always come." The scissors' face turned pale.

"I will stay in Anyang City these days." An Ruhai said: "I have no king's law, how can I allow them to do so much."

"Thank you, An Shuai." Scissors bowed to An Ruhai, "If there is nothing else, Mo Jiang will do things. An Shuai only gave Mo Jiang three months, and I don't expect to disappoint An Shuai at that time."

"Go!" An Ruhai waved his hand, "Anyang City is no other place. Even if he is a level nine master, he can't come and leave as soon as he says. Jun Magistrate Tan, please assist the military and tightly control it. If you find a new face, don't let it go easily."

"Don't worry, An Shuai." Tan Jun nodded repeatedly.
