No matter how courageous a woman is, she is still a woman. She usually only uses her aggressiveness to deal with scoundrels and her husband. How could she have really seen a dead body
When he saw the two glaring corpses, he could not bear it and fainted with his eyes rolled back.
Yang Xin helped her up with a wry smile and carried her into the room. After thinking for a while, he picked up a hoe, dug a big hole in the yard, and buried the person.
Fortunately, he was strong and could dig the hole quickly, so he solved the problem without much effort.
After everything was cleaned up, he went into the house and woke the woman up.
Without waiting for the woman to scream, he warned her sternly, "Don't cry! Listen to me, I have offended someone I shouldn't have offended, but as long as I work hard for him, he will leave me a way out. The same goes for you! Listen carefully, just pretend that what happened tonight never happened. I estimate that with so many people coming here, there must be a lot of noise. Although they came late at night, there must be some clues left. But I tell you, no matter who comes to ask, you insist that it has nothing to do with us, and it has nothing to do with you. You don't know where those people are or where they went!"
The woman had never seen Yang Xin like this before. She was subconsciously frightened and nodded stupidly.
Yang Xin was afraid that he had not explained enough, so he grabbed the woman's collar and lifted her up: "Listen carefully! This is no small matter, it concerns your life and my life! If you want to live, remember this!"
He looked at the woman again and nodded desperately, then let her go, straightened his clothes, and walked away with a cold face.
When he returned to the barracks, the sentry saw that it was him and greeted him. He then asked him, "Captain Yang, didn't Shunzi and Huizi go out with you? Why didn't they come back together?"
Yang Xin's heart tightened, but he still pretended to smile as if nothing had happened: "Don't mention it. As soon as he went out, he asked for leave from me, saying that he had to go see his family. I agreed out of pity, but in the end, these two bastards haven't come back yet!"
This kind of thing happens quite often. The sentry didn't take it seriously. He just smiled and made a few jokes before letting the person pass.
Yang Xin returned to his tent.
Not long after he sat down, a messenger came to inform him that General Fu asked him to come over.
General Fu is the deputy general and the second most important person in the military camp after Councillor Yang. It was General Fu who suggested arresting Prince Consort Tang this time when he came over.
Yang Xin was originally his confidant.
When he heard General Fu's call at this time, he suddenly became worried.
When he arrived at General Fu's tent, he heard an argument coming from inside. After a while, Captain Zou ran out angrily.
General Fu shouted from inside: "Who's outside?"
Yang Xin quickly agreed and hurried in.
As soon as he entered the tent, General Fu asked angrily: "Where the hell have you been? I can't find you anywhere. It's so urgent now, don't tell me you have time to pee!"
Yang Xin hurriedly smiled and said, "How could that be possible? Your Excellency doesn't know that last time, those people were pestering me about the compensation money, and I had no choice!"
Of course he knew about this.
If Senator Yang wants to eat meat, the people below him must also drink some soup.
General Fu was second only to Councillor Yang before, so naturally he also drank a big bowl of meat soup.
Hearing about this, General Fu became even more annoyed and sneered, "What a bunch of ungrateful people! If we weren't protecting them, they still wanted to live in peace? And they even dared to ask for money! They are rebelling!"
Yang Xin didn't respond, and asked earnestly, "General, what happened? Did you just scold Lord Zou?"
"How can I not scold them? They are a bunch of useless people!" General Fu cursed them a few more times when he mentioned this matter: "Let him do something useful, but he can't do anything! Let him send people to find out how many troops the imperial court has and who is coming, but they sent out several groups of people, but there was no movement at all, and the people never came back! They are so stupid that they deserve to die!"
Yang Xin's heart skipped a beat and he poured him a cup of tea. "Don't bother with them. They haven't experienced anything serious. They are just scared. What's the matter, sir? Has the court already sent people here? According to past practice, there is no need to be too afraid. As long as we make a big fuss every time, the court will always compromise."
After all, this is how we have been through these years.
General Fu rubbed his temples. "This time is different. In the past, which officials from the imperial court were not polite? Even if they were troublemakers, we could meet them first. This time is different. Thousands of people came and camped ten miles away from us. What do they want to do?"
Although General Fu himself said that he had 30,000 men under his command, the troops of the imperial court did look a bit scary.
Besides, General Fu was still afraid if a real war broke out.
He just wanted to negotiate terms with the court.
Yang Xin volunteered: "Since the general is upset about this matter, I am willing to go and find out the situation for you and see what the court is planning this time."
In fact, this is what General Fu was waiting for.
Captain Zou just now refused to go in person, and General Fu was very angry.
He hummed, "You are still brave enough to take on the task. Okay, you can take the people with you. After the task is completed, I will not treat you unfairly."
Yang Xin hurriedly agreed, and as he was speaking, there was a burst of noise outside.
General Fu became even more angry: "This is a very important military camp, what's causing all the commotion?!"
Yang Xin hurried out to ask, and soon, Yang Xin ran in: "Sir, it's about the pension money again! This time it's not just that old Sun, it's said that several nearby villages who didn't get the money came and made a fuss at the gate of the military camp, accidentally injured someone, and the two sides started a dispute, isn't this..." He lowered his voice: "There are still many people in our military camp who are related to them. Once a fight breaks out, some people will feel guilty, and now, both sides can't control themselves..."
Unexpectedly, such a thing would happen at this critical moment. General Fu shouted angrily: "This is simply nonsense! Is this a place where those unruly people can cause trouble?"
Having said that, he also knew what time it was, and was afraid that things would get really out of hand, so he snorted and went out to check the situation.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Yang Xin secretly went to the tent where Tang Yuan was imprisoned.
Although Tang Yuan was locked up, he was not panicked or frightened at all. When he heard the noise, he just raised his eyes and said, "No need to say more. I won't write any letter. Just give up on this idea."
Yang Xin took a few steps forward and said, "Prince Consort Tang, do you still remember Mu Qinglu?"
