Chapter 324 Murder
In the dark night, the donkey cart was replaced by a horse cart. The donkey cart went up the mountain, while the horse cart bumped along the way and went farther and farther.
Kuroda Nami was afraid that Chen Ning would suffocate to death, so she opened the box.
But it was obvious that, thanks to Nanny Lai, the medicine they put in the ice this time was very good, and this person hasn't made any movement so far.
"Sir, when are we going to send another letter to Jia Zhen?"
"Wait a minute!"
They are not the ones who are anxious now.
This Shen family took advantage of the ten strokes of the cane against Jia Zhen to extort a large amount of land from the Rakshasa Kingdom, and also had a good reputation with the Emperor Dazhao and the court officials.
Kuroiwa Nami said, "Didn't we leave a letter asking them to prepare a ransom? Those people will have to make some efforts to find it."
Only by making them despair and then sending a few fingers of Shen's to them, will the rest be easy.
In short, they cannot expose themselves at the beginning.
The wheels of a carriage. When Chen Ning woke up, she found herself in a field of hay that smelled slightly rotten.
She thought that the way she woke up was wrong and her body was aching all over. Was she dreaming?
She closed her eyes and opened them again, and finally, she stopped deceiving herself.
She was really not in Tiekan Temple, nor had she traveled through time again. With the dim light from above, she could clearly see the beautiful cloud pattern embroidered on the sleeves. This was the pajamas she wore last night.
As expected, you can't go to places where there are too many people and too many eyes.
I don’t know how Wen Peilan, Xiaodong and the others are doing.
For her safety, they stayed in her room the whole time.
She was abducted here, so...are they okay?
Huh~ Chen Ning let out a breath, stood up and looked around the cellar which was narrow at the top and wide at the bottom.
The original body was not short, about 1.63 to 1.65 meters tall, but even when standing up, he was still more than one meter away from the cellar entrance.
It’s difficult to climb and it’s impossible to climb.
Shen Ning heard from Xiaodong that every time someone went down to her cellar, they had to take a ladder.
The person who kidnapped her here and left her here thought that she couldn't escape, right? "Hello, is anyone there?"
After searching around and finding nothing, Shen Ning could only take the initiative to talk to the strong man outside, "I'm hungry, give me something to eat."
If they kidnapped her but didn't kill her, that must mean they had something they wanted. As long as that want hasn't been fulfilled yet, her life won't be in danger for the time being.
“Bear with it!”
The voice above was not loud, but it was full of malice.
The team that Shunji Fukuyama was in was being hunted down by martial artists from Jiangnan. If he had not been away that day, he would have been gone from this world long ago.
"Or if you tell me the truth about who Jin Yong is, I'll give you a steamed bun."
This woman was probably really here to bring bad luck to them.
Although the martial artists in Dazhao had a bad impression of the Japanese, they had always kept to themselves.
You don't mess with me and I won't mess with you.
To prevent accidents, they never provoke those people. Under certain circumstances, they will take the initiative to make friends with them and give them money and gifts.
But this time, because of a book, some people are like crazy, insisting on saying something like "The greatest heroes serve their country and their people"! Bullshit!
"Don't play dumb with me. I know that you were the one who helped print and sell Mr. Jin's books."
I really can’t say it, because once I say it I hate it even more!
Shunji Fukuyama looked around. If he wasn't worried about Nami Kuroiwa coming over, he would go down and give her a good beating first.
It’s hateful. He wanted to punish her last night, but Nami said that this woman had lived a life of wealth and glory and couldn’t stand any more torture. If she was killed, the imprisoned tribesmen would have to wait for death.
Fukuyama Shunji gritted his teeth and said, "Tell me, who is he?"
Shen Ning: “…”
Who can she say?
She can't tell anyone! However, why does the tone of this person's speech feel a little off?
"You are... Japanese?"
This is truly fate.
I didn’t expect that!
Shen Ning sneered, "What? You caught me, but you don't dare to take revenge immediately?"
If she falls into the hands of the Japanese, is there any possibility for her to return alive?
Shen Ning carefully turned the emerald ring on her hand. The velvet surface of the ring was not very large. She twisted it left and right and it soon loosened.
This was specially made for her on a whim after she was assassinated in Xuzhou.
The poison inside is not fatal, but it can paralyze a person temporarily.
"It seems that you have bigger plans!"
After getting the ring ready, Shen Ning stood against the wall, "Tell me, in order to survive, maybe I can cooperate and help you come up with a plan, draw up a strategy, or write a letter?"
Fukuyama Shunji: "..."
He didn't know how the woman heard it.
There are many local languages in Dazhao. The teacher who taught him Dazhao dialect had a Jiangnan accent, and they all followed suit.
The teacher said that the Dazhao people who didn't often come into contact with them couldn't hear the awkwardness in their language. They would just think it was influenced by other dialects.
It was harmless enough, but this woman…
"Now I ask you a question, who is Mr. Jin?"
"Oh~ I'm hungry."
Chen Ning seemed to say casually: "I want to wash up. You don't give me food or water, and you still want to know who Jin Daxia is from my mouth? Unless the sun rises from the west."
She pressed the velvet surface of the ring lightly against the wall and it fell off.
Now she just hoped that this was the only person out there.
Otherwise, if you can’t escape, you will definitely suffer inhumane torture.
Fortunately, she is in poor health now, so if she is tortured, she may not even have to consider whether she can endure it, and will go directly to see the King of Hell.
It’s a pity that I didn’t get to see my daughter grow up.
Fortunately, the Jia family today is no longer the Jia family in the Dream of the Red Chamber.
"Haha, you're asking for a lot. Who do you think you are?"
Shunji Fukuyama didn't know that she was still making random plans under such circumstances.
He was so angry that he laughed, "Shen, don't force me to really come down and do something to you."
It is said that this woman is good at controlling her husband. While others have three wives and four concubines, Jia Jing only keeps her.
Even after so many years, she only gave birth to one son, Jia Zhen, and Jia Jing never had an affair with another woman.
That……
He has been hiding from place to place recently and hasn't been to a brothel for a long time.
"Do you dare? Will your head agree?"
Shen Ning sneered, "You're just a pawn. If I wasn't so bored, I wouldn't bother to pay attention to you."
"you……"
Shunji Fukuyama was furious.
Although what she said was true, as a man, he also had to save face.
Moreover, he had such thoughts about the woman below, so a man cannot lose face.
"You are asking for death."
Nami, Nagata Takao and others went to Tiekan Temple and Ningguo Mansion to check on the follow-up, so they probably won't be back so soon.
Shunji Fukuyama unlocked the door as quickly as possible, and as he jumped down, he covered the door with the wooden board again.
Shen Ning: “…”
She leaned against the wall involuntarily.
Men are naturally superior to women in terms of strength.
"Is your boss...coming soon?"
Shen Ning was sad that there was no ladder.
“Hehe~”
Time never defeats beauty.
In the dim light, Shen was much better than those women in the brothel.
"Don't worry, I still have time to do your work."
Fukuyama Shunji took a step forward, his eyes becoming more and more obscene, "Shen, let me ask you again, who is Hero Jin?"
“…”
Shen Ning clenched her hands into fists and did not answer.
She was thinking about where to start when this guy pounced on her.
"I think you won't give up until you see the Yellow River, and you won't cry until you see the coffin."
Fukuyama Shunji raised his hand to tear off her clothes, Shen Ning raised her hand to block, and while struggling, she grabbed his face and scratched his neck.
"court death!"
With a 'slap' sound, the furious Fukuyama Shunji slapped Shen Ning fiercely.
He took her identity into consideration and thought that she was a woman, so he wanted to be gentle with her.
In the end, she is shameless and doesn't appreciate the favor, so don't blame him.
Shen Ning fell to the ground after being slapped in the face, her ears buzzing and stars appearing in front of her eyes.
"Who do you think you are? If you give me face, you are a human being. If you don't..."
Fukuyama Shunji pulled her arm and was about to slap her again with his other hand when he suddenly felt something was wrong and his body went numb.
Especially the neck and mouth.
Both of these places were grabbed by this woman. It hurt a lot just now, but now...
"What...what did you use on me?"
Fukuyama Shunji hurriedly threw Shen Ning to the ground, exerted force with his legs, and tried to rush out immediately.
Bang! He hit the closed wooden board and fell down again on the spot.
But he didn't dare to stay.
The space is too small, and this woman cannot be killed, at least for the time being. He cannot kill her, but if he stays here, he will be killed by her.
Fukuyama Shunji spared no effort and pushed forward with his legs again.
Bang! The wooden board broke open, but his legs were caught.
Bang~~~ Shen Ning pulled down fiercely, and Fukuyama Shunji fell to the ground without any surprise.
Although his hands and feet could still move at this time, the part above his neck was no longer under his control.
Even his tongue felt numb.
"This dagger is nice."
Shen Ning grabbed the dagger from his waist, and when he tried to grab it but his hands and brain were not coordinated, she stabbed it into his neck fiercely.
Bu~ Shunji Fukuyama’s eyes widened.
He never thought that one day he would die at the hands of a woman.
If he had known this would happen, he would have killed her first.
At this moment, regret seemed to overwhelm him.
Fukuyama Shunsei moved his feet around, wanting to give Shen Ning a fatal blow, but she was right in front of him and he couldn't find her neck.
"Hehe~~"
Shen Ning grabbed the dagger and put it on his neck, twisting it violently.
Shunji Fukuyama's whole body began to tremble, and a large amount of blood flowed out of his mouth and wounds.
When Shen Ning pulled out the dagger, he dodged to the side and blood spurted out in large quantities.
Fukuyama Shunji was trembling all over, but he could not make any sound. There was only a wheezing sound in his throat.
It was obvious that he was not going to survive.
Shen Ning's ears were still buzzing from the beating she had just received. Although the cellar board had been knocked open, it was still extremely difficult for her to get out...
Unable to see the situation outside, she did not dare to shout for help, for fear that the people she called would not be the Da Zhao people, but the Japanese.
She looked at the Japanese man who was gradually becoming less active, and wondered if she could fold him up and use him as a bench.
I don’t know why. She should be very scared because she killed someone, but she just can’t be afraid of these Japanese.
Holding the dagger, she rushed to the gentler wall as fast as she could and quickly dug a place to stand.
The mud fell.
After digging out a few, she dragged Fukuyama Shunji, who was still moving but staring at her, to sit against the wall, stepped on his shoulders and his head, and quickly dug two more points where she could exert force.
“Ah~”
Shen Ning didn't have enough strength in her hands and almost slipped down because she didn't grab anything. Fortunately, she stepped on Fukuyama Shunji's head again. This time, she took a deep breath, summoned all her strength, used this small cellar as a climbing wall, and tried hard to climb up.
Finally, she saw the sky outside.
…
At this time, Tiekan Temple had already been blocked by the Jia family.
How could a good person disappear for no reason?
Moreover, just after dawn, when Jia Yue came to look for her mother, something was not right with Wen Peilan and the others.
The government doctor examined everything carefully.
Chen Ning doesn't like incense, but now it's summer, so she has no choice but to wear a mosquito repellent sachet.
Therefore, it was quickly found that the problem was in the melted ice water.
The court doctor took a little bit of ice and sniffed it, then tasted it and said, "Master, there is something wrong with the ice."
What? Jia Zhen’s face turned pale as he glared at the palace guards who had been patrolling last night.
His mother was in poor health. She usually stayed at home and took good care of herself, but she was often sick. Now...
"Now is not the time to ask for accusations. It is more important to find my sister-in-law first!"
Jia Min looked at them and said, "As long as we find my sister-in-law, you will still be credited. Otherwise..."
She didn't say the rest, but everyone knew it.
If they want to survive and not bring trouble to their family, they must find their wife back safely.
A group of people talked about the possibilities and doubts with each other, and called the owner of the opera troupe who was allowed to enter and exit Tiekan Temple to get the props to come over for questioning. They soon locked on the two people who carried the boxes out at three quarters past midnight.
But so much time has passed and they have no idea where he is now.
Jia Zhen took the letter asking him to prepare the money and gritted his teeth as he asked someone to do it.
But he couldn't risk his mother's life on the so-called illusion that the bandits would release the people if they took the money.
Jia Zhen hurriedly ordered Xing'er to go to Shuntian Prefecture to ask Chief Constable Lu for help.
Investigating cases is what they are best at.
At this moment, Jia Zhen no longer cared about his reputation or any scandals that might be fabricated in the future.
In this world, nothing is more important than life.
He had to find his mother first, then anything else.
Kuroiwa Nami stared from afar through a telescope, seeing that the Jia family was busy but not chaotic. She then carefully checked all the ox carts and donkey carts from last night, and all the people who had not left. They were called in for questioning one by one, and she sighed softly.
pity!
She was too nervous last night.
She should have killed all the people who were accompanying Shen in the house.
Those people were the ones that Nanny Lai mentioned, the ones who were specifically there to protect her.
If it wasn't summer and the doors and windows of the room where the ice basin was placed were closed, she and the woman with the whip would probably have had a fierce fight.
"Sir, the direction that servant is heading is the Beijing camp."
Nagata Takao saw Shou'er riding his horse to the Jingying camp, "Jingying is the headquarters of the Jia family. I'm afraid they will search every house."
"Search then!"
Kuroiwa Nami didn't care.
But she abandoned Shen in the abandoned cellar at the foot of the West Mountain.
They had never stayed in any inn.
"Let them search, and search thoroughly!"
The bigger the formation, the better.
Only when the situation became serious did the emperor have to consider Shen's achievements and agree to release the envoys and all the clansmen in prison.
