The little eunuch dived underwater for a long time. Just when Fu Feilong thought he could not come out and died underwater, he suddenly jumped out of the pool!
The little eunuch wiped a handful of water and shouted excitedly, which shocked Fu Feilong.
"Is there really someone?"
"General, it's true!"
"Everyone saw it, and it must be a woman!"
woman?
Appear in the water!
That must be Mrs. Zhang!
"How can you be sure?"
Before Fu Feilong could express his stance, the guards around him jumped out to find trouble.
It's pitch black everywhere. It's only the first quarter of the year, and it's still early before dawn!
Then the water under the water will only be darker than the ground. How can he judge?
The young eunuch is not worried at all. He has evidence in his hands.
"Look, what is this?"
The little eunuch opened his hand, and a shiny object appeared in front of everyone. The originally arrogant Di Qin soldiers were dumbfounded when they saw what was in his hand.
It was a golden hairpin tangled with branches. After seeing this thing, who else could doubt the identity of the man underwater?
"I took this off from the head of the corpse. There is really a woman underwater. She seems to be dressed decently, but her face cannot be seen clearly."
"If you don't mind it, you can go into the water with me and have a look. Maybe we can get the female body out, so that we can judge whether it is Mrs. Zhang!"
"General Fu, do we want to go into the water?" Several guards asked for instructions.
Obviously, with the small stature of this little eunuch, it was absolutely impossible to drag a female corpse ashore.
"The holy monk really didn't lie to me!"
"Then you still need to ask?"
"Go quickly!"
After all, people of the same clan know each other's temperaments best. Before Fu Feilong raised his feet, the Di Qin soldiers had already jumped into the water of their own accord.
Action is called swiftness.
In order to conceal the news, when Fu Feilong first went to Fu Jian's palace to search, he had already sent all the palace maids and eunuchs to the side hall for temporary arrangements under the command of Fulong.
What kind of disposal method should this be considered?
Confinement?
Of course that doesn't count, but it doesn't allow them to leave the palace gate, so it can be regarded as temporarily controlling their actions.
When Fulong chose to do this, he was beating a small drum in his heart. How long can such a temporary measure be implemented?
How long can it last?
The palace needs to be run, and to run it, maids and eunuchs need to be busy. It is impossible for Fulong to lock these unsuspecting people for a long time.
However, the reality is that if they are released, bad things will happen.
I have no choice but to take one step, take a look, and deal with it like this first.
Ever since Fu Feilong took over the job, he has always followed Fulong's instructions and did not dare to make any mistakes.
Every time he went to a palace, he would first gather the maids and eunuchs in one place, arrange them properly, and then send a few soldiers to guard them to ensure that they would not do anything bad.
But now, the only ones who can see this female corpse are the guards who followed Fu Feilong all the way.
"Come up!"
"Everyone, please work harder!"
"Soon!"
"Soon!"
The upper body of the female corpse had already emerged from the water. Although the body was soaked in water and heavy, it was still easy to lift it up with the combined efforts of a few strong men.
"No wonder we didn't see it after searching for a long time. It turned out to be entangled in water plants!" a strong man from Di Qin shouted.
"No, no, no, that's not the reason." The little eunuch shook his head and jumped onto the shore first. With so many real men present, he, a fake man, didn't have to intervene anymore.
"What's the reason for that?"
"Shouldn't those who throw themselves into the water float?" The Di Qin soldier was not only unconvinced, but also had many words to say. This time, he also used his brains.
Thinking back then, several parties were fighting, and the Central Plains was full of floating corpses. When they fought along the Yellow River, they saw countless floating corpses being carried by the rushing river and floating around.
That horrifying scene left such a profound impression on the soldiers that over the years, they would still think of it sometimes in their midnight dreams.
Of course, the little eunuch didn't know about their experiences, so he just explained according to normal principles: "You are right, people who throw themselves into the water will indeed float in the end, but they will also have to die for a while."
"According to the information we have now, Mrs. Zhang disappeared from the dormitory at the first quarter of the twelfth lunar month. It has only been two hours since now. Even if she threw herself into the water as soon as she left the palace, the time was very short. At this time,
Regardless of whether it is a man or a woman, the corpse is still very heavy and there is no way it can float on the water."
The young eunuch talked eloquently and explained in detail. Several Di Qin soldiers were stunned, especially Fu Feilong.
He suddenly remembered that the mysterious and omniscient monk Shi Dao'an was also a Han before he became a monk.
"Tsk tsk..."
"You Han people know a lot!" Fu Feilong's eyebrows were dancing, obviously he meant to praise him.
Seeing that they were all satisfied, the little eunuch was relieved. Since they didn't doubt it, the next thing would be much easier to handle.
"It seems like this woman must be Mrs. Zhang!"
The time to die is as short as Mrs. Zhang's. This is the simplest truth that Fu Feilong's self-proclaimed smart mind has come up with.
Coupled with Monk Dao'an's prophecy and blessing, Fu Feilong's impression was further deepened.
Before he could see the face of the female corpse clearly, he had already concluded that this person must be Mrs. Zhang!
It’s finally time to hand in business!
At this moment, Fu Feilong and all the Di Qin soldiers were in the same mood. They had been busy all night. Although their methods were not particularly good, they still tried their best, just so that Fulong would not look down on him.
Now, as long as they find Mrs. Zhang, they can stand upright in front of Fulong!
"General Fu, is this Mrs. Zhang?"
The face of the female corpse was not swollen. Although the moonlight was dim, with the torch illumination, the soldiers quickly saw her appearance clearly.
Several guards did not work in the palace on weekdays. At best, they only knew Fu Jian. As for the women in his harem, they were even less likely to know each other.
"Look, is this woman Mrs. Zhang?"
Fu Feilong looked at the little eunuch, everyone was shocked, you made such a fuss, it turns out you don’t know Xiao Zhang either!
So……
Can we only rely on the little eunuch to identify this matter?
In fact, it is not difficult to find more people who know Mrs. Zhang. If you open the palace door, there will be many maids and eunuchs in Fu Jian's bedroom.
But, if these people are released, Fu Jian will die and Mrs. Zhang will die too, and they will no longer be able to hide it!
Gu Pan
Fu Feilong moved his big head, pretended to think for a while, and quickly came up with the answer.
The little eunuch smiled secretly in his heart and stepped forward quickly: "That's right, it's Mrs. Zhang!"
So sure?
Could it be a scam?
Compared with the dizzy Fu Feilong, the other Di Qin soldiers never believed in this little eunuch.
In their opinion, Han people are the most scheming, and they cannot believe nine out of ten words they say.
"Did you see clearly?" they asked.
He even dared to ask back, even though he didn't know him, he was waiting to be deceived by him.
The little eunuch made a determined decision and decided to carry out the lie to the end.
"Of course you can see it clearly!"
"Look at this golden hairpin, which was taken from her head. It's so exquisitely made. She also has a necklace around her neck and an earring. Look at the clothes she's wearing, they're all made of gauze.
They are all made of good quality fabrics, definitely not ordinary palace maids."
"That's true." Fu Feilong nodded, and the suspicion that had just risen suddenly fell again.
The female corpse was indeed wearing a shirt and skirt that could only be worn by an authentic concubine. Moreover, although she had been soaked in water, it could still be seen that she had a beautiful face. She must have been quite beautiful when she was alive.
"Besides, this can also prove one thing."
Anything else?
Everyone was shocked. These Han people were so many twists and turns, and they always talked one thing after another.
Gradually, the Di Qin soldiers began to feel bad. Are they about to be taken to the ditch again?
Although they have this awareness, they can't help but be led by the nose step by step. There is no way, this is the level of their IQ.
The doubtful looks on everyone's faces made the little eunuch more confident.
do my best!
Anyway, the situation has deteriorated to this point, and even a little eunuch like him can't do anything to save it. As long as he can make these beast-like people even more unlucky, his life will be worth it!
"Everyone, think about it, what did the guards on duty outside the palace say just now?"
"They said they definitely did not see Mrs. Zhang jump out of the window, and no one ever passed by here!"
"But everyone, you can look up and see that the location of this pool is exactly behind the window of the dormitory. It's exactly right!"
"It can be seen that the eunuch and maid on duty at the front palace gate did not lie. Mrs. Zhang did not go out through the palace gate, but slipped away through the back window!"
"After jumping out of the window, she knew that she was guilty of a serious crime. She couldn't hide it for a long time, so she jumped directly into the lake, and the guards didn't even see all this!"
"Could it be that we have really wronged a good person?" Fu Feilong sighed while stroking his beard. He felt more and more that what this little eunuch said made sense.
The good people Fu Feilong talked about were the eunuchs and maids who guarded Fu Jian's palace and Madam Zhang's palace.
When they were first interrogated, they repeatedly emphasized that they had never seen Mrs. Zhang and had no knowledge of her actions.
Unfortunately, Fu Feilong didn't believe it at the time and thought they were shirking responsibility.
So, driven by the goal of keeping secrets, after Fu Rong left, Fu Feilong sent all the palace ladies and eunuchs who were near the palace to heaven.
The rest of them, who were not on night watch tonight, could barely survive, and are now locked up in the side hall.
Seeing this female corpse, Fu Feilong, who had always been arrogant, had to admit that it was indeed inappropriate to kill so many people at once.
So, he quickly adjusted his thinking.
Since I acted too quickly and hurt someone, I might as well put the matter here and settle the matter now.
"alright!"
"Find a clean room, take the body in and put it away, waiting for the captain to deal with it!" At the critical moment, Fu Feilong thought of the unparalleled Fu Rong again.
He didn't know Mrs. Zhang, but Fulong did. Whether it was true or not and who lied will be discussed later when he comes back.
The question is, why hasn't he come back yet?
What happened outside the imperial city?
The current situation outside the imperial city can no longer be described as an accident. All forces are fighting for it. For a while, Fulong has no chance to return to the imperial city.
In Chang'an City, there are many tribes revolting. Who will be the winner in the end?
Who will win?
And at this chaotic moment, behind Fu Jian's dormitory, deep in the remote bamboo forest, the Taoist monk Shi Dao'an closed his eyes slightly, and once again spent the night without any danger.
No one would have guessed that the female corpse was thrown into the water by Fu Jian himself a few days ago. She was originally a concubine in his harem. However, Fu Jian had always been disobedient to discipline, which made Fu Jian murderous.
.
They were all destitute in the end of the world. This time, she helped Xiao Zhang. After Fu Feilong left, Shi Daoan told her the inside story of this lie in detail, thinking of another good sister in the harem.
After being brutally murdered, Xiao Zhang couldn't stop crying...
…………
Two days later, on the bank of Baishui, on a small city tower, General Huan Chong stood behind the parapet, looking far into the distance.
It’s another day to watch the Qin soldiers in the north!
Huan Chong was helpless!
Why can’t I take the road back south?
He is so difficult!
According to the original escape time, the Jingzhou soldiers should have packed up and turned back by now!
Unfortunately, after two days in a row, the shadow of Qin Bing was not seen, not to mention the living Qin Bing, not even a wisp of smoke was seen!
what happened?
Could it be that Fu Jian suffered from some serious illness and became dementia?
The battle report of Xiangyang City should have been sent to him long ago. With Fu Jian's impulsive personality, he would never be able to swallow this breath.
Although Xinye was not as important as Xiangyang, an important town in Xiangyang, it was still a big city. Fu Jian, who was extremely passionate about conquering cities and plundering territory, would never let the city he finally captured fall into the hands of the Jin army again.
Based on his understanding of Fu Jian's temperament, Huan Chong had already made preparations. As soon as he received the battle report of the Qin troops attacking from the front, he would immediately set off back to Xiangyang.
However, this battle report says that nothing can be expected.
"Maide Lang, I'm afraid you won't be able to wait today, come down quickly!" Huan Yi persuaded him kindly. Listening to his tone, there was even a hint of schadenfreude.
Huan Chong sighed several times, seeing that the sun was about to set again. As soon as it got dark, the guard responsible for delivering messages would find a post to rest, and the day would be delayed again.
"Wild King, I think you are quite happy that there is no news. Aren't you afraid that something will happen to the guards and we will be caught off guard by the Qin soldiers?"
The two of them walked down the tower. Huan Yi paused in his steps and his face suddenly darkened.
"Maide Lang, you don't want to retreat now, do you?"
The junior saw through his thoughts at a glance, Huan Chong coughed a few times, covered it up, and said with a smile: "How is that possible!"
"We took Xinye City with great difficulty. At least we have to get specific information before we decide whether to stay or go."
"Made Lang, you must be able to keep your composure!"
"I believe there will be good news coming."
Huan Yi was actually very anxious, but facing Huan Chong, a veteran who lacked courage, he could only adopt comfort tactics to calm him down first.
Fortunately, Huan Chong was still a man who liked teasing. After a few words, this idea was temporarily suppressed.
Of course, this is only temporary. If no new news comes, even Huan Yi will be unable to control the situation.
No matter it comes from the north or the south, there must always be a letter of blessing from Kuai Ma!
