Chapter 107 Granddaughter, Close Your Eyes
But one of them didn't want to die like this, so he escaped on the way to transfer.
Fifty-six shook his head. Zhao Shiqing's words refreshed his understanding.
At an age when he should be studying and developing his intelligence, he is fighting with wild beasts in the primeval forest. He is simple-minded but strong-limbed. This is the kind of person I am talking about. When a problem can be solved by using his brain, he swings his knife, not knowing that the knife will not only chop off someone else's head, but also his own retreat.
Zhao Shiqing asked a few more questions, and Wushiliu told him all the assassinations he had participated in. When Zhao Shiqing realized that he should take a small notebook to write it down, he found that Xiao Zhen had already written down several pages of dense notes.
"Ha, you can be my mentor later."
Xiao Zhen: What's with that little bit of secret joy?
......
Even Zhen Wuduo hadn't expected that they could pry open the assassin's mouth so quickly. When he learned that it was the monkeys that did the trick, Zhen Wuduo smiled and said, "My dear granddaughter, I'll build you a big house to raise monkeys, okay?"
I thought to myself, these monkeys are so useful, of course they have to be hidden.
Before Zhao Shiqing could speak, Xiao Yao and Dapang started yelling at Zhen Wuduo. Although Zhen Wuduo couldn't understand what they were yelling, he could guess from their angry eyes that they were cursing, and the curses were quite dirty.
Zhao Shiqing spread his hands and said, "Grandpa, you saw it too. They don't agree."
Zhen Wuduo......
In fact, Zhao Shiqing had dealt with monkeys before. These guys only needed to be used occasionally, and she didn't want to raise them.
So from the very beginning, she asked people to rent monkeys. If she couldn't rent one, she would buy one. Of course, even if she bought one, she would sell it or give it away after using it, or release it back into the mountains.
As for today's group of monkeys, each monkey got a delicious meal. When leaving, each monkey carried a large basket on its back, which was filled with dried and fresh fruits. They said goodbye to Zhao Shiqing reluctantly, especially the one who was beaten up by Zhao Shiqing, who even pretended to wipe away a few non-existent tears.
After the monkeys were sent away, Xiao Zhen asked, "What did those monkeys say to you?"
Zhao Shiqing: "They all wanted to be my sons, but I only wanted to be the mother of a tiger cub. A leopard cub would also be fine. I never considered a monkey, so I didn't agree to them. They were very disappointed."
Xiao Zhen: Oh Heaven, Oh Earth, what language is Miss Zhao Er speaking? Why can't he understand?
Zhao Shiqing was already reading Wushiliu's confession.
Xiao Zhen cleared his throat and said, "This time we took over Shilipu. Although we created the illusion that the killers had escaped, it can only deceive them temporarily. We still alerted the enemy. The hall master named Cui Niang will report this to Master Shu soon. From now on, the mountain gate will be more cautious."
Zhao Shiqing put down the confession in his hand and said to Xiao Zhen, "Among the tasks that Wushiliu confessed, there is no case involving my family. I think that ten years ago, Wushiliu was still scouting for the brothers and it was not his turn to handle this case.
However, Wushiliu said that the management of the Shanmen was changed to that of the branch halls ten years ago. Do you think it is possible that this is related to that person?"
Xiao Zhen nodded: "Although Imperial Physician Yang is only a retired doctor, and your family is just an ordinary family, this case is related to the late Crown Prince. It is very likely that this case was classified as a second-level case in the Mountain Gate back then, or even a first-level case.
But if this case is the reason for the entire Shanmen to be reorganized, it is unlikely."
Zhao Shiqing thought for a moment: "What if they changed their master?
I mean, originally the boss of the mountain gate was Shan Ye, and the mountain gate did things for money.
But later, after they had handled several cases for that person, he felt they were very useful, so he took them in. Since they were taken in, of course they could no longer be managed carelessly as before, so they were divided into branches with their own leaders. They also moved from the deep mountains and old forests to villages like Shilipu, making them more convenient to use and easier to manage.
Xiao Zhen looked at Zhao Shiqing in surprise: "Do you think that the current Mountain Gate is no longer a mere mercenary organization, and that the imperial court is behind them?"
Even if Emperor Yongjia wanted to take control of the mountain gate, he would not directly manage it today.
The best way to make the people in the Mountain Gate work for him without them becoming rebellious was to incorporate the Mountain Gate into a department in the court, and then Emperor Yongjia would send his confidants to manage it.
"Jinyiwei?" This was the first thing Xiao Zhen thought of.
In his previous life, when he left Shiji Mountain, the eldest princess and her husband had already passed away, and he had no idea that there was such a person as Uncle Xiuxiu.
After the eldest princess died, she could not return to the capital, and she did not stay at Xiuxiu's inn on the way. Therefore, even if Xiuxiu's family was killed later, no one would connect their deaths with the eldest princess.
In short, in the previous life, there was no Zhao Shiqing. Whether it was Uncle Xiuxiu, Xiuxiu's family, or Chef Zhang whom Zhao Shiqing met, none of these people appeared in Xiao Zhen's sight.
Of course, the extermination of the Shi family and the death of old doctor Yang became eternal secrets.
In his previous life, even though Xiao Zhen later established Fengyu Pavilion, the intelligence he received did not include the killer organization Shanmen.
Thinking of this, Xiao Zhen's gaze once again turned to Zhao Shiqing.
Zhao Shiqing was whispering to Ling Bo, laughing and looking very innocent.
Xiao Zhen smiled and shook his head. Many things had changed in this life, and all this was not because of his rebirth, but because of this lovely little girl.
The sun is warm and the sky is clear, and those evil spirits hiding in dark corners will eventually be exposed to the sun.
He walked up to Zhao Shiqing and said, "Can I make another copy of this confession?"
Zhao Shiqing: "You were the one who wrote this down. As long as you don't mind writing, you can make ten or twenty copies."
Xiao Zhen smiled and thought, the little girl must really dislike copying articles.
As the son of a scholar who won the third place in the imperial examination, Xiao Zhen started to learn calligraphy at the age of three. Before he fell off a cliff while hunting in Shiji Mountain, he had been practicing calligraphy every day for a full fifteen years.
Just two pages won't tire him out.
Not only did he copy one for himself, he also copied three copies for Zhao Shiqing to prevent the little girl from being careless and losing the original.
The next morning, he went to see Zhen Wuduo.
"What? You said you want to go back to the capital? It's true, you've been out for a while now. You should have gained something after planning for so long. Let's go, old man, I don't need you to accompany me now. I have my eldest granddaughter."
Xiao Zhen: This old man changes his attitude faster than turning the pages of a book. He will no longer be needed as a good son.
However, the old man did not let him go easily.
He called Zhao Shiqing over and said, "My dear granddaughter, your uncle is going back to the capital. Come and say goodbye to him."
Xiao Zhen......
There is something I want to say, but I don’t know if I should say it this way or not: I don’t want to recognize you as my father anymore!
Xiao Zhen complained inwardly and was about to speak when the old man stabbed her in the face again: "What's with that expression? It's so ugly. It scared the children. My dear granddaughter, close your eyes!"
Zhao Shiqing immediately covered her eyes obediently with her hands.
Xiao Zhen......
