As he touched a jade pendant in his hand, Shui Yan quickly pretended to change his position and held the jade pendant in his hand while blocking others' view.
Except for Zou Xing, no Qi generals or soldiers found it.
Then he got out of the carriage.
"Have you found anything?"
The general looked at Shui Yan and couldn't help but ask.
Shui Yan glanced at the carriage, his eyes a little uneasy, and he didn't speak in a hurry.
When the generals and other Qi soldiers who had been watching Shui Yan saw this, they couldn't help but have a bad premonition.
"The murderer of those wounds is definitely not a gangster."
Shui Yan said something.
The Qi soldiers in front of them looked confused. Are they not gangsters?
Then who dares to kill so many people in officialdom?
However, when I thought of the people in the carriage and their interactions with Mr. Tian, an idea slowly emerged.
This thought made the soldiers of Qi State look a little uneasy.
"If you don't want to risk death about what I'm talking about today, please don't tell others."
Shui Yan looked at the people in front of him and told him: "If Mr. Tian sends someone to come and asks, just follow what I just said and tell them the identity of the deceased. Don't say more. In a few days, Yan will personally inform Mr. Tian.
"
At this time, Shui Yan couldn't care less about what he had just said. When he heard these people noticed the calluses on his hands, his heart was already thumping.
Zou Xing, there are no calluses on his hands.
Therefore, in order to avoid trouble, Shui Yan just opened his mouth and gave special instructions.
These people have obviously believed in his disciples of Tian Mansion. As long as he gives a warning, I believe they will not talk nonsense.
Besides, the people who are killing Zou Xing are indeed beyond the reach of these people.
"Don't worry, I will soon understand what should be said and what should not be said!"
The general heard Shui Yan's words, glanced at the corpse, and nodded, without doubting Shui Yan's words.
Moreover, the young man named Shui Yan in front of him described the identity of the deceased in such detail. There is no way that the young man's identity could be false.
As for those wounds, Mr. Shi will bring someone here later, and we will know the authenticity at that time.
Think of this.
The general actually believed Shui Yan's words in his heart.
Maybe these people in front of me really didn't die at the hands of the robbers.
Then this matter was somewhat intriguing. Even if Shui Yan didn't say anything, he didn't want to be silenced because of this matter.
Since Shui Yan opened his mouth, he could take the opportunity to hand over this problem to Shui Yan.
Anyway, in a few days, Shui Yan in front of him will report the matter to Mr. Tian.
"If Yan You is here, it's not advisable to stay for a long time. Say goodbye!"
Shui Yan frowned again and glanced at the corpse nearby, then looked at the general and said goodbye.
The general returned the gift quickly.
Zou Xing watched the whole process and couldn't help but feel a little regretful. If Shui Yan hadn't exposed the calluses on his hands just now, there would be no need for trouble in the future. Presumably, as long as he wrote a letter to Master Tian, Master Tian would believe that he was still alive.
After taking a look at his body in the carriage, Zou Xing finally sighed, turned around and left with Shui Yan.
His ghost was getting weaker and weaker, and he had to explain all the remaining matters to Shui Yan before disappearing on his own.
He didn't want Shui Yan to go to the Bai family and be discovered by the Bai family in the end.
After Shui Yan died, no one avenged him and the Zou family.
On the official road.
Shui Yan walked along the road, looking straight at the road ahead.
"You can say it now!"
Shui Yan asked softly.
He did not hesitate to take off the jade pendant at the risk, just for the sake of becoming the so-called Pingyang Bai family in Zou family's mouth.
Otherwise.
He would not take the risk to get this jade pendant.
He was not even sure whether the calluses on his hands that he had accidentally seen just now would expose him.
Therefore, after getting away from those Qi soldiers, he couldn't wait to ask.
"It starts with my father."
When Zou Xing saw Shui Yan getting the jade pendant, he naturally stopped hiding anything and told Shui Yan the whole process.
It turned out to be fifteen years ago.
Bai Yan, son of Bai Zhong, came to Qi to do business. However, in Linzi City, he had a quarrel with a nobleman over a woman, and even started fighting over the woman.
Although Bai Yan is a businessman, he was born in the Bai family, and even though he did not join the army, he still had the habit of practicing martial arts since childhood.
Therefore, he did not restrain his strength and accidentally beat the noble boy to a bloody head and broken hand bones.
And Linzi is not in the Qin State, but in the Qi State.
If Bai Yan had taken action in the Qin State, maybe the Bai family could have suppressed him through his connections. But in the Qi State, how could the beaten nobleman swallow his anger and lead someone to send Bai Yan to a cell that night?
At that time, Zou Xing's father had not yet been framed and was an official in the Qi court, so he used some means to rescue Bai Yan.
"This jade pendant was given to your father by Bai Yan at that time!"
After listening to the whole story, Shui Yan also understood the process.
According to this, since the jade pendant in his hand is a token, it must have been given to Zou Xing's father by Bai Yan.
"Yes, it was Bai Yan and the woman who personally gave it to my father and promised that if my father gives birth to a boy in the future, and the two of them give birth to a daughter, they will marry my father Zou. If a baby is born, they will marry her.
It’s a boy, so we become ‘friends of Guan Bao’!!!”
At this point, Zou Xing glanced at Shui Yan, perhaps because of the mention of his father, with a somewhat sad look in his eyes: "My father told me these before he went to jail."
Hear the words.
Shui Yan was stunned for a moment, stopped in his tracks, and turned to look at Zou Xing.
"What is the child of Bai Yan and that woman?"
It would be a lie to say that it was no surprise. Shui Yan couldn't react at this moment. According to this, it would be better for the other party to give birth to a boy, just in case it is a girl.
Think of this.
Shui Yan couldn't help but look at Zou Xing, as if he was a little embarrassed when he saw Zou Xing's green hair.
If Bai Yan gives birth to a daughter, then if he goes to the Bai family, wouldn't he pretend to be Zou Xing and marry his fiancée?
How embarrassing is this!
"Baby girl! This time you pretended to be me and went to the Bai family, just to marry Bai Yan's daughter."
Zou Xing's expression seemed a little unnatural, but he soon calmed down.
In fact, unlike Shui Yan, in Zou Xing's eyes, women are not particularly important. If you want to achieve big things, how can you stick to small details.
"Now you understand why I said, it's good for you!"
When Zou Xing said this, he couldn't help but look at Shui Yan, and then he couldn't help but have a look of contempt in his eyes. He looked like he was taking advantage of you.
Obviously, in Zou Xing's eyes, if it weren't for him, with Shui Yan's identity, he might not have been able to marry a clan woman with a rich background like the Bai family in this life.
Shui Yan naturally saw Zou Xing's eyes and seemed to know what Zou Xing was thinking.
But Shui Yan may have been thinking of something at this moment, and he was different from usual. Not only did he not care about the way Zou Xing looked at him, but he looked at Zou Xing strangely with a somewhat confused expression.
"Your Zou family has declined, are you sure that the Bai family will not go back on your promise?"
Shui Yan asked.
At this moment, Shui Yan suddenly felt why Zou Xing was so unreliable.
He thought that before the decline of the Zou family, he had a more inseparable relationship with the Pingyang Bai family. Is this marriage the only relationship between Yun Nai?
As the saying goes, you are a good match. You, the Zou family, have declined to the point where you are the only one left. Are you sure that the Bai family will still admit it?
Zou Xing, who originally despised Shui Yan, heard Shui Yan's words, and the expression on his face suddenly froze.
"How can it be!"
After Zou Xing came to his senses, he quickly smiled.
However, seeing Shui Yan's direct gaze, Zou Xing gradually felt guilty for some reason, both in his eyes and his expression.
"Probably not."
this moment.
Shui Yan almost couldn't breathe. He risked being discovered and got this?
Thinking of this, Shui Yan breathed quickly.
Shui Yan promised that if he could fight ghosts, he would do it without hesitation now and send Zou Xing away from this world with his own hands, sending him on his last journey.
Touching the jade pendant in his hand, Shui Yan suddenly had a premonition.
In the future, if he really goes to Pingyang of Qin State and goes to the Bai family, he will probably face the dilemma of having his engagement regretted and annulled.
"Probably not, Shui Yan!"
"Shui Yan, you swore a poisonous oath, never break it!"
"Shui Yan, I will inform you about Zou's situation now!"
On the official road.
Two hours after Shui Yan left.
A dozen cavalrymen escorted a carriage and slowly arrived at the place where Zou Xing was killed.
The general who had just spoken to Shui Yan saw this, and after the carriage stopped, he stood beside the carriage and waited.
After a while, an official got off the carriage.
"Lord Lingshi!"
The general bowed his hands in salute.
"Um."
Seeing the general, Ling Shi nodded and was about to ask something.
At this time, one of Ling Shi's subordinates was standing next to the corpse in the distance. After checking it, he seemed to have discovered something. He quickly ran to Ling Shi and whispered something.
"What?"
Hearing Li Chen's words, Shi's expression changed. He ignored the general in front of him and quickly went to the blood-splattered carriage, then stretched out his hand to open the curtain.
This scene, not to mention this general, was the Qi soldiers who were guarding here just now. They all realized that this murder case was not simple, and it made Master Shi look away.
Thinking of this, what the young man said to them just now appeared in their minds involuntarily.
"If you don't want to risk death about what I said today, please don't tell others!!"
Originally they might have had the slightest doubt, but now that they saw Master Ling Shi's appearance, they still didn't know.
The young man did not deceive them.
"What did you find?"
Beside the carriage, Ling Shi turned to look at the general.
"Sir, when I came with my subordinates, the murderer had already left!"
Perhaps he was thinking of Lord Ling Shi's expression in front of him just now, and the warning from the young man's mouth. The general had somehow failed to mention Shui Yan, and even Zou didn't say it.
After all, he has realized that things are far from as simple as imagined.
Anyway, that young man is a retainer of the Tian Mansion and will personally inform Mr. Tian in the future. The less he knows about this matter, the better.
"Well, in that case, you don't need to worry about what happens next!"
Ling Shi nodded. After hearing what Li Chen said just now, he didn't expect the general to know anything.
It is no exaggeration to say that if this general really knew anything.
Right now, I'm afraid it's just a corpse.
This murder case is obviously not simple, and it is likely to involve some forces from North Korea and China.
He wanted to take the body in the carriage back, and then report it to the police after verifying the identity.
