Chapter 725 The Man Who Suddenly Appeared
The blood stains on the double-ringed mutton-fat jade on the ground had long been dried up, leaving a large patch of spots.
The gold-threaded brocade robe next to it, although already tattered, still showed the craftsmanship of Jiangnan.
The cooks of the Gu Army were furious, and surrounded him and gritted their teeth, saying, "Yes, this is the thing of the old thief Gu, we would recognize it even if it turned into ashes!"
"To think that he had been showing off his power for half his life, but in the end he became a meal for wild boars. This is really... really gratifying!"
"Brothers, come and see, Gu Pingzhi is finally dead, hahaha!"
Everyone shed tears and gritted their teeth to celebrate.
Jiang Fengze also showed a look of joy, and happily touched his head and said to himself, "It's really him. I didn't expect that Lan Yi's method would work. What a smart little brain, hehe."
Soon, the matter was reported to Mu Yihan.
However, Mu Yihan did not show any emotion after hearing it, but just raised his eyes slightly, "Oh? You mean, Gu Pingzhi's face has been eaten by wild boars and cannot be recognized?"
"Yes, that's right, not only the face, but also the buttocks and feet were not spared. This old guy has suffered a lot." Jiang Fengze nodded and said happily.
Mu Yihan turned his eyes and stood up and said, "I want to go and see it myself."
So Jiang Fengze led the way and headed towards the abandoned warehouse in Liaodongying.
At first, he was worried that the corpse was too horrible and would offend the imperial master, so he only half-opened the white cloth.
But Mu Yihan stepped forward, waved his hand, and directly tore off all the cloth covering the corpse.
Under the white cloth, Gu Pingzhi was bitten so badly that maggots were born around him.
Mu Yihan lowered his cold eyes and looked at him carefully.
He looked at his hair and earlobes, and finally his eyes fell on Gu Pingzhi's fingertips.
The fingertips were extremely rough and were wrapped in a layer of thick yellow old cocoon.
After retracting his gaze, Mu Yihan just nodded lightly, "Well, I have seen it. Since the matter has been settled, let's bury him."
At first, Jiang Fengze thought he had heard it wrong.
Such a heinous person?
Even if he is not hung on the city wall for public display, at least he should be thrown into a mass grave!
"National Master, we still want to bury him? This... he doesn't deserve it." Jiang Fengze glanced at the corpse and was so angry that he wanted to clench his fist.
Mu Yihan didn't explain anything, just shook his head.
"He's dead, there's no need to bother with him anymore, but he looks too ugly like this, burying him won't pollute the eyes of others."
Jiang Fengze listened and had to obey orders, so he took people to bury him casually.
In the next few days, the big trouble was solved, and of course the court was happy.
And the Jiang family also ushered in a new day.
First, there was the autumn harvest in Xiaoliu Village. Needless to say, grain merchants have come to the village one after another.
Under the supervision of the Jiang family, these vendors certainly did not dare to cheat on their scales or lower their prices.
Everyone was very happy selling grain, and everyone could hardly keep their teeth.
At home, Feng Miao's Nanyang pledge trip must also start.
There is also news from the Imperial College in Fengjing that the Imperial College students will also participate in this year’s examination.
With so many things happening at once, Feng and the others were so busy that they almost hit the back of their heads.
But the most important thing right now is to see Feng Miao off.
After all, this trip will take more than half a year to return home.
On the day of farewell, just after midnight, the whole family took a carriage, pulled a lot of things, and left the capital for the big dock in Jincheng.
The fleet heading to Nanyang has already assembled.
However, Beijing is not near the sea, and there is no large pier for navigation, so we can only go to Tianjin to see them off.
When we arrived at the pier, the sun had just parted the mist and stretched out.
Xiao Nuobao sniffed the slightly salty sea breeze, jumped off the carriage, took Feng Miao's arm, and went to visit the ship.
The ships going to Southeast Asia this time were all large and majestic.
There were not only many bedrooms in the cabin, but also a kitchen for cooking and a bathhouse for bathing. In short, it seemed that there was nothing missing.
Sun Chunxue went into the cabin and looked around, then came out and exclaimed, "Mom, this is the first time I've seen this kind of ship since I was a child. It's like a house with everything inside. The fifth brother must not have suffered any injustice while doing business on the sea!"
Jiang Fengnian frowned and glared at her, "What do you mean by not suffering any injustice? Do you think life on the sea is easy!"
"If there is a storm, or if pirates hijack the ship, I wonder if you can still say such things." Jiang Fengnian was worried just thinking about it.
After listening for a long time, Feng Shi couldn't bear it anymore, so she turned around and said, "Enough, both of you, no one can say nice things, shut up! Mom has something else to tell the fifth brother!"
After that, Feng Shi took Feng Miao's hand and said a lot of things.
It was nothing more than words like be careful on the road, sacrifice your life to pirates, eat more vegetables on the ship, and so on. But
Xiao Nuobao was not worried. She
kept looking up and watching everything with a smile.
After all, she had read the fortune for the fifth brother before he decided to set off.
Not only must he go on this trip!
Moreover, it is definitely the most important journey in the fifth brother's life.
Moreover, in order to ensure a smooth journey, Xiao Nuobao also arranged for Xue Yingyu, Hu Lao Da, and Hu Lao Liu to go along.
Needless to say, the Hu brothers, Xue Yingyu also knows Nanyang dialect. With one literary and one martial, plus the fifth brother's clever little brain, they will not be afraid of anything.
Xiao Nuobao looked around and pulled Feng Miao aside, her little face mysterious.
"Brother Wu, come here. I have something to tell you."
Feng Miao narrowed his eyes and smiled, as if he understood everything. "Tell me, do you want Brother Wu to bring you some gifts from Southeast Asia? Give me the list quickly, and I promise to do it!"
He stretched out his soft palm. He
was ready to wrap his sister up like a human.
However, he never expected that what landed in his palm was a heavy bag.
The little fat girl had some difficulty lifting it up, and even groaned twice, "Hey! Fifth brother, this...you take it."
"What is this?" Feng Miao was a little surprised, and when he opened it, he found that it was a bag full of gold bars.
He pushed it back quickly, "Fifth brother doesn't want your gold. Before this trip, I brought enough silver. Xue Yingyu also said that Nanyang recognizes our official silver."
Xiao Nuobao laughed and said, "Fifth brother, don't be embarrassed with me. When you go out, you will feel confident only if you have more money. No matter how useful official silver is, it is not as good as gold. This is the hard currency that can be used everywhere."
"This is all the gold bars I have saved. I'll give it to you first. If you don't need it, just return it to me when you come back."
Feng Miao was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes were sour.
His sister loves gold like her life.
She gave him all of it. This...
he really spoiled a good sister.
Feng Miao sniffed and hugged the gold bag tightly, "Well, just wait, sister! When the fifth brother arrives there, we must open up a road for unlimited trade with Nanyang. At that time, we will name this trade route after you, so that people on the other side of the sea will also know your great name!"
Xiao Nuobao laughed and hugged Feng Miao's arm, "I don't want anything, I just want the fifth brother to have a happy trip and come back safely!"
Soon, it was almost noon.
It was time for the fleet to set off.
The Jiang brothers hugged each other. Although they were reluctant in their hearts, they still said it hard.
"Old Five, be careful on the way." Feng Ze patted his brother on the shoulder.
Feng Jing's eyes were red, and he stood on tiptoe and gestured, "When you come back, I will definitely be taller, maybe even half a head taller than you, you'd better eat more."
Not to mention the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Feng family, they surrounded Feng Miao and kept admonishing her.
Feng Miao stood on the deck, his eyes full of longing for the future, and waved in the direction of the dock.
When the fleet completely disappeared from everyone's sight, the Jiang brothers held their mouths together, and finally couldn't help sniffing.
"Hey, this kid can really hold it in. We are about to cry, but he is still laughing."
"Let him laugh. Laughter brings good luck. This trip will definitely be smooth for him, and our family will also be smooth in the future!"
After saying that, the Jiang family smiled again and went back to the carriage.
However, at the same time, on the other side, a strange man appeared in the West Market of the capital.
The man was wearing thin clothes, but he had a thick hood on his head, almost covering most of his face...
