Chapter 307 (Three Hundred and Seven) Shared Burial
“Of course I have to continue, I haven’t found much yet!”
"continue."
Tie Jinjue's other subordinates said one after another.
Everyone walked up the mountain.
Zhang Ji and other Tie Jinjue's men continued to search, unaware that most of the others were paying attention to his actions from the corner of their eyes.
After searching for a while, Qin Ding said: "Look!"
Everyone looked in the direction he was looking and saw Fang Piaolan lying in the sun holding Fei Cunyi.
"Finally found it!" Yishou said.
Everyone approached the two corpses and found that they both had smiles on their faces.
After inspection, Tie Jinjue's men determined that Fei Cunyi and Fang Piaolan had both died of poisoning.
"Oh! Bury them!" Qin Ding sighed.
"Buried together." Another Tie Jinjue's subordinate said.
"Although they were not born together, they have died together. Let them share the same cave after death... Maybe they can reunite in another world." Qin Ding said.
At this moment, those who secretly observed Zhang Ji noticed that his expression became painful, and there was something strange in his pain.
Zhang Ji suddenly spoke: "It would be better to bury them separately..."
"Ah?" Everyone was surprised.
"Why?" Qin Ding asked.
"You also said that both of them died of poisoning and were buried together. When the time comes..." Zhang Ji couldn't think of a suitable excuse for a moment and said vaguely, "It's not good..."
"They are all dead anyway, so what about those who died from poisoning? There won't be any harm, right?" Qin Ding said.
"Oh...it's okay...I just said casually, it's up to you, it's up to you..." Zhang Ji said.
Everyone quickly buried Fei Cunyi and Fang Piaolan together. Zhang Ji's expression was still unnatural.
After everyone returned to Tiecangting, Qin Ding and several other Tie Jinjue's men reported the situation.
"Zhang Ji said they want to be buried separately?" Tie Jinjue asked doubtfully.
"Yes. I feel that he is not trying to be detrimental to us people, nor does he look like someone sent by the patriarch to monitor us." Qin Ding said.
"Is there something hidden in this? Could it be that there was some hatred between them? But I have never seen Zhang Ji interact with him. Have you ever seen Zhang Ji interact with him?" Tie Jinjue asked. When Tie Jinjue and his men spoke, in order to prevent trouble from coming out of their mouths, they did not mention Fei Cuanyi's name, but directly said "him". When Tie Jinjue asked this, his men could all understand what Tie Jinjue said. That "he" refers to Fei Cunyi.
"We have never seen Zhang Ji have any dealings with him."
"Yeah, never seen it."
"Does Zhang Ji know him? I've never known him!"
Tie Jinjue's subordinates all said that they had never seen Zhang Ji and Fei Cunyi interact with each other.
"That's it...oh...just continue to observe Zhang Ji and tell me if you find anything wrong," Tie Jinjue said.
"Yes!" the men responded.
At night, most of Tie Jinjue's subordinates who were in the same dormitory as Zhang Ji were already asleep. A "squeak" sound from the door woke up two of them.
The two of them saw Zhang Ji walking out the door through the moonlight, and one of them said, "Zhang Ji, where are you going?"
This sound woke up other Tie Jinjue's men in the dormitory.
Zhang Ji immediately said: "I'm going to the hut."
"Oh, I'll go too. Let's go together!" Another subordinate said and lit a candle with a fire stick.
Under the candlelight, other Tie Jinjue's men saw that Zhang Ji had dressed neatly. If he really just went to the latrine, why did he dress like that?
