Chapter 14 Zhuangyu Lake
Captain Cheng, what should we do in this situation now?"
Du Yong looked at Cheng Yuan. There were only three public officials now, among which Cheng Yuan had the highest position, so he naturally had to listen to him.
Yang Jin and others are just private guards and it is difficult to express their opinions on their own initiative.
Cheng Yuan thought for a while: "We have already run so far, and then we will waste time. We will find a place to hide the body, and then continue to rush to Zhuangyu Lake. At that time, we will report to Chuanming County and ask the county magistrate to send someone back to the city to report to Dali Temple. Our mission this time is the Golden Knife Fish case, so let the assassination case be arranged by the superiors, and if we need cooperation, we will talk about it."
Du Yong and Zhao Dezhu nodded and said yes.
In order to adapt as soon as possible, Zhao Dezhu took the initiative to go to the corpse.
"Oh my God, why are there two layers of ice on this guy's neck?" Zhao Dezhu held the head of the man in black who was facing him just now, looking left and right, with a confused face.
This head was cut off by Du Yong.
Zhao Dezhu looked at him for a while and suddenly looked at Du Yong in surprise: "Old Du, I remember when you chopped him, the blue light was ripped around him, and it was extremely cold. Could it be that you made this ice? I remember that the true qi you learned was a bit hot, right?"
As soon as this said, even Yang Jin looked at Du Yong curiously.
The "Sun Protection True Qi" that Du Yong learned before was indeed a hot topic, and it was quite domineering.
"How do I know what's going on? I guess this guy has learned some evil skills and hasn't learned it, so he freezes himself."
Du Yong secretly scolded himself for being careless. He didn't think much about it at the time and used the pure cold energy in "The Demon Suppressing Power". He didn't expect that it was so powerful.
Zhao Dehui heard this explanation and did not think much about it, and said lightly.
Yang Jin didn't believe it, so he pulled Du Yong aside and asked in a low voice: "What the hell is going on?"
Du Yong made a few gestures, but it was difficult to explain, so he could only smile bitterly: "Didn't I say before that the true qi has become sharper? In fact, it's far more than that. The nature of the true qi has completely changed, it is cold, hot and energetic."
Yang Jin's face changed slightly: "Isn't it a traitor?"
He is an old man and has never heard of this kind of true energy with three forms, and the most evil evil skills are not so evil.
Du Yong shook his head: "Don't worry, I feel very good. It should be the adventure that happened when I was injured internally."
Although Yang Jin didn't understand what was going on, he still felt relieved. After all, Du Yong saw that it was really okay and thought for a while: "If you really have no problem, this is a great thing. But if you are in public in the future, don't use electric power and cold power."
Du Yong nodded and asked, "What do you think of this assassination?"
Yang Jin said, "Same as you think."
Du Yong was very surprised: "How do you know what I think?"
Yang Jin smiled and said, "We have been working together for twelve years. If you frown, I know what you are thinking. You must have been thinking at that time that this was the second house arrangement or the arrangement was arranged in advance, but they didn't expect Zhao Dezhu and his gang would accompany him."
Du Yong gave a thumbs up: "Then is the second wife?"
Yang Jin said coldly: "Of course, this position is not very critical, it is obviously a hurry to arrange it. When the group charged, they were surprised and suspicious in their eyes, but the arrow was on the string and had to fire. They found that they were not the opponent, so they left decisively. This time we were attracted by Mr. Zhao, and the second wife was sure that your internal injuries had not healed, otherwise it would be another death battle."
He paused, with murderous intent on his face: "I guess it was Ruan Peng who was behind the scenes. He must give him some good skills in the future. If he didn't do it, he would not end his life and death dilemma."
At this moment, Zhao Dezhu had already hidden the body and ran over: "What are you, master and servant, muttering?"
Du Yong joked: "We are discussing how to protect you next. If the son of the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue dies tragically while investigating the case, we will have to bear some responsibility."
Zhao Dezhu rolled his eyes: "Brother, I know I'm weak, but can you give me some face in your words?"
He was criticized by Du Yong several times along the way, but he was not angry, but he was depressed.
Du Yong laughed: "I just want to remind you to pay attention in the future. If you can't beat it, you can dodge it and turn around and run away."
Zhao Dezhu thrust his back: "I am a person who is greedy for life and fears death? It will attract more jokes when it is spread."
Du Yong sneered: "It is not a shame to be greedy for life and fear of death, it is just an instinct. It is a typical behavior of a fool who chooses to fight to the death if he is not strong enough, so that is what makes people laugh at."
Zhao Dezhu wanted to refute Du Yong, but if you think about it carefully, Du Yong made sense. He met a killer as soon as he left the city. Maybe there was a greater danger behind him, so he should be careful.
The body was hidden very well. Just under the slope next to the canyon, everyone got some gravel and dirt and pushed it up. They glanced over on the road, but they would not find it.
The carriage didn't run very far, only a few miles away. After being out of danger, the horses were leisurely eating grass.
The carriage was slightly damaged, but fortunately the shelves were not broken.
Everyone simply pulled off the roof and drove back on the road.
This assassination did not bring much frustration, and everyone was still talking and laughing, but the speed was much faster.
During lunch, everyone ate dry food brought by Zhao Dezhu.
"What did you bring? Take it out for everyone to try!" Zhao Dezhu chewed the jerky meat and stared at Du Yong's package.
"This is not dry food!" Du Yong waved his hand to refuse. What a joke, this was prepared by Aunt He. After 100% of the ingredients, how could he give it to everyone for food?
"It's so bulging, tell me it's not dry food?" Zhao Dezhu was very curious.
"Is the poison good? I'm going to give the enemy a pot when I'm going to investigate the case." Du Yong responded casually.
"Isn't the case of the Golden Knife Fish a natural disaster? Where is there any enemy?" Zhao Dezhu asked.
"After checking for so long, I can't even find a decent reason. What kind of natural disaster is so powerful?" Du Yong was very disdainful.
Zhao Dezhu grabbed his head and looked at Cheng Yuan.
Cheng Yuan stopped eating and sighed: "Brother Du's statement makes sense. According to my opinion, the facts may not be simple. If it weren't for the zombie case, the Zhuangyu Lake Golden Knife Fish Case would definitely have to be investigated."
Zhao Dezhu immediately became more excited: "It's not that natural disasters are better, it's time to make great contributions."
Cheng Yuan smiled bitterly: "It is naturally good for Brother Zhao to have this kind of confidence."
Zhao Dezhuqi said: "Don't Captain Cheng want to make a contribution?"
Cheng Yuan shook his head slightly: "I just hope it is safe, but I hope it is a natural disaster."
Du Yong and Yang Jin could understand this. After all, Cheng Yuan was a commoner's child and an old bird in Dali Temple. His enthusiasm for credit was definitely not as good as that of aristocratic children like Zhao Dezhu.
For Cheng Yuan, if he made great contributions, he would be rewarded with the most money. If he fell into danger, he might lose his life.
Du Yong is actually quite empathetic in private.
In the evening, I finally arrived at Zhuangyu Lake.
Looking at the lake ahead, everyone was shocked and couldn't speak.
The lake surface is endless. Under the setting sun, the lake water is dyed with a golden color, shining brightly. Black dots spread in the distance, and leisurely play and thick singing are faintly heard.
Although it is lively water, there is almost no movement on the lake surface. Looking from a distance, it looks like a painting.
On the other side of the lake shore is a large area of farmland, with the willow trees on the shore as the boundary, separated by two colors, which is very spectacular.
The breeze comes slowly, slowly rolling the fragrance of plants and trees and the fragrance of soil into the nose, making people happy.
"Is this Zhuangyu Lake known as 400 miles? The scenery is too beautiful, right?" Zhao Dezhu murmured to himself.
"It is said that this was the case in ancient times and has never changed. People in Chuanming and Chuanning counties call it Shenhu, and there are several large-scale lake sacrifice activities every year."
Cheng Yuan bent down and held a handful of lake water. He looked at it with almost no impurities, comparable to well water.
"Sacrifice to the lake? Is there a monster or a lake god?"
Du Yong was very interested and remembered the river sacrifices in the history of his previous life, either monsters or river gods. There are many examples of living people sacrificing sacrifices in unofficial history.
Cheng Yuan explained: "It is said that it is to worship the lake god, slaughter sheep, sing and dancing, etc. One of the procedures is to ask the older wise man to come forward and talk to the lake god, bring people to bow three times and nine times, and ask the lake god to bless the weather and the weather, etc. The scene is very serious."
A guard from Zhao Dezhu interrupted: "I heard my grandfather say that there are really monsters in this lake. What are four feet long, covered with armor, and completely open their mouths to swallow a fishing boat. It's very mysterious."
Cheng Yuan smiled and said, "It's not surprising that there are big things in such a big lake, but the saying of monsters should be spread by rumors."
Zhao Dezhu touched his chin: "This time the golden sword fish is overturned. Isn't there a record of monsters in our Dali Temple? Captain Cheng, are you clear about the situation? Did the supervisor write it casually or the fishermen say it?"
Cheng Yuan nodded: "That was said by two young people in Chuanming County. The fishing boat was overturned. They all said they saw a big black monster and didn't see what they were doing. Because they were fine, and there had never been such a fisherman before, so others said that they were just hallucinating. The two young people were still very accused of saying that they were very sober. As a result, they conducted a lot of searches at the accident point between the two counties, but unfortunately they didn't find anything. The guards of the Dali Temple wrote it as a monster, just a record."
Du Yong thought carefully: "It's not a cause for nothing. Captain Cheng, I think I can start with those two young people, maybe I can find some clues. If I can catch a big thing, nothing is good, and it's also an explanation. Credit is definitely indispensable."
Cheng Yuan agreed: "Since Brother Du has this suggestion, of course I support it. Anyway, it's just a search for information, so who should I find? Contact the brothers in the team first and then start."
