Back Off, Let Me Come

"Really, really chopped?"

The inner garden of the palace, the cat and dog room.

Several chamberlains worked together to transport the body that had lost body temperature. Zheng Qiao was violent and killed frequently, and his palace attendants changed frequently. Several of them were young and came from poor backgrounds. In order to have a bite of food, they cut off their evil roots to serve others.

They had also heard of Yan'an's reputation.

At first, he hated this son for helping the emperor to do evil, but when he saw that there were only a few people in the whole court who sincerely worked for the benefit of the people, he realized the misunderstanding. Without Mr. Yan's persistence, the snow disasters in the past two years alone would have added tens of thousands of lonely souls to the world.

Some of them had indirectly received Yan'an's favor, and they couldn't bear to have them chop up their benefactor's corpse into pieces and feed it to the wild beasts like the cat and dog house. But if they don't do this, if the tyrant finds out that they are disobeying the emperor's orders, their fate will be tens of thousands of times more miserable than Yan'an. For a moment, everyone was hesitant and struggling, but no one dared to say a word.

"How about - burn it?"

Someone made a sudden suggestion.

"Burned?"

Everyone was frightened by this suggestion.

This is a setback!

The waiter on duty in the cat and dog room whispered: "Let's... let's just say that these little beasts are full, picky, and not interested in human flesh for a while. We are afraid that the human flesh will rot and ruin the stomachs of the little ancestors. , just throw these human flesh into the stove and burn it...burning it into ashes is better than entering the belly of those little beasts and entering the grain cycle, right?"

Everyone: "..."

This seems to make sense, and while both approaches are extreme, it's the lesser of two evils.

If burned into ashes, animal bones can also be used.

If the tyrant one day thinks of scattering his senior brother's ashes for fun, it will be easier for them to deal with each other, the risk is less than disobedience, and it can also soothe their own consciences. After thinking for a moment, one after another people agreed. However, this should be done more secretly.

These chamberlains are the most humble beings in the palace, and no one cares about what they do. Zheng Qiao's assassination caused chaos in the palace all night, and they were actually asked to take advantage of the loophole to get the matter done. If they weren't worried about getting angry, they would also like to set up a tablet for "the place where the banquet is held". The sky was getting brighter and the palace was not an iron barrel. The news quickly spread to every household.

Those who heard the news had mixed reactions.

Some are indifferent, some are heartbroken, some are laughing, some are ridiculing, and some are sad. Feeling deeply about the darkness of the world, they have the idea of ​​abandoning their official posts and returning to the mountains and forests. No matter what state of mind they were in, their fear of Zheng Qiao reached its peak.

ruthless!

Too cruel!

The senior brother who treated him so sincerely was forced to commit suicide by his brutality. Although it was wrong for Yanan to betray him, he was extremely kind to Zheng Qiao. Even if he wanted to maintain the friendship between classmates in the past, he should leave his body intact. Actually, I let him chop it up and feed it to the dog!

Such a violent master, it is better to go back early.

In just three or four days, it reached the border of Qianzhou.

It's not right to say it's a border.

It takes more than half a day to actually get out of Qianzhou.

A dirty family of three was sitting in a teahouse next to the official road. The woman Jing Chai wears a sarong, looks haggard and weak, and has a sallow complexion. At a glance, it is obvious that she is recovering from a serious illness or is suffering from a serious illness. The young man on one side also looked shabby, his Gebu clothes had dozens of patches, and his whole body exuded an inexplicable stench. Among the three, the girl was the only one who kept things clean and decent.

"Auntie, eat some..."

The girl looked up at the woman.

Young man: "Mom has no appetite now. Eat more. Don't complain that you're hungry again halfway. It's not easy to solve."

As he spoke, he tore open a small piece of pancake.

When I broke it open, I discovered that there was minced meat inside the pancake.

The young man was startled.

What he wants is pancakes with vegetable fillings.

He looked up at the tea shop owner, who smiled honestly, and the young man understood instantly. Reluctantly, he took back the stretched out piece of cake, stuffed it into his mouth, stood up and asked for another one from the shopkeeper. Shopkeeper: "Not for you."

She saw that the girl was cute and looked like a woman and a young man, so she felt pity and gave her a piece of cake.

The young man explained in a low voice: "We appreciate the shopkeeper's kindness. It's just that the child lost his biological father a few days ago..."

When the shopkeeper heard this, he realized that he had done something bad with good intentions, and immediately sighed: "Oh, it's so pitiful, you look so young..."

In today's world, when a family loses an adult male, the already difficult life becomes even more difficult.

The shopkeeper hurriedly asked someone to exchange for two plain cakes.

The young man quickly thanked him.

At this time, the sound of horse hooves was heard outside the tea shop.

Two men dressed as police officers came over.

The young man almost threw the pancake away when he saw it.

Hao Xuan still held back, lowered his head, and avoided the two guards. He was born in the market, and even if he lived a life of luxury for a year or two, some habits that were deeply rooted in his bones were difficult to correct. The performance of a Dou Sheng commoner who is afraid of the police was flawless, and he returned to his original position with a normal expression. Break the vegetarian cake into small pieces, soak it until soft and give it to the girl.

Because the business of the tea shop was pretty good and the space was in short supply, the two servants were arranged to sit next to them, which made the young man's heart skip a beat. But soon, his attention was attracted by the conversation between the two, and they mentioned "banquet".

"The tyrant is getting more and more ruthless..." The tall guard drank a bowl of hot orange peel drink.

"...But no, he is simply not a human being. He deserves to be betrayed and separated from his family...is that what the word says? He deserves to be killed!" the short guard agreed, "...not even leaving a body intact. This is still done by humans. Is it possible? I heard that the person surnamed Yan used to be a scholar of Xin Guo Wushuang, but now he ends up like this... Tsk, tsk, tsk, having such a junior brother in the stall is really a bloody misfortune for eight lifetimes!"

"Oh, I heard that you should chop it up and feed it to the dogs..."

"It seems his wife and daughter escaped?"

"That's what it is. Well, it would be terrible if they were caught... With that person's character, he doesn't know how to humiliate them."

The young man felt cold all over after hearing this.

Not because I heard about Yan'an's death, but because I was worried that the two people around me would suddenly reveal their identities...

result--

The woman just served tea.

Just when I lowered my head and got close to the pottery bowl, there were clear tears falling silently into the bowl, and the taste in my mouth was extremely bitter.

The girl was confused and did not understand what the neighbor said.

"Brother, what's wrong?"

The girl looked at him puzzledly, waiting to be fed.

The young man came back to his senses and whispered: "It's nothing."

He fidgeted and endured it. When they were almost done eating, the three of them got up and replenished some dry food to satisfy their hunger on the road. Under the woman's instructions, he exchanged the original carriage with a dilapidated wooden donkey cart from an old farmer in the village, and built a very simple shed to protect him from the wind and rain. Although it was a bumpy ride, he relied on these disguises to evade many searches along the way.

It's relatively stable for the time being.

After he was far away from the teahouse, the young man heard the woman's suppressed crying coming from behind, as sad as a lonely goose who had lost her lover. After a long time, when the voice gradually became lower, the young man asked: "Madam, where should we go next? The news about Mr. Yan has spread here, and those who want to hunt us are also on the way. There is no one among the three of us who can fight. If we are If caught, no one will be left alive..."

As he spoke, he heard the fatal sound of horse hooves.

It can’t be——

What do you mean?

The young man's heart suddenly reached his throat.
