Chapter 3038 Ending afterwards
Yuan Wei almost jumped up in fear at this life-long mourning. He turned around to look at Changsun Yan in surprise, only to see that he had already thrown himself down next to a corpse on the ground, crying bitterly.
Yuan Wei's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly stepped forward and asked, "Silang, why is this?"
Changsun Yan cried: "This is my third brother, and unexpectedly he died tragically here!"
Before Yuan Wei could react, he wondered: "Shiro's third brother? Isn't that... oh!" He shouted, so scared that his soul almost flew away!
Changsun Saburo?
Changsun Jun!
The current eldest son of the Changsun family and the future heir of the Changsun family... actually died here?
Yuan Wei felt as if thunder exploded in his head, buzzing, and he hurried forward to check, and saw that Chang Sun Jun had a crossbow arrow stuck in his heart, his neck was cut, blood was flowing all over his body, and his face was pale , the body was still tied up with a child, and a rag soaked in blood was stuffed in the mouth...
Yuanwei's soul was about to fly away, and he said in despair: "This, this, this, what kind of situation is this? Oh my, Sanlang is here, why didn't you tell Shiro earlier? Otherwise, I will never let anyone attack! Now it has cost Sanlang's life. , what should I do? ”
The number of heirs in the Changsun family has declined over the years, and everyone in Guanzhong knows this.
First, Changsun Chong conspired to rebel and went into exile. His life and death are unknown to this day. Then, Changsun Huan was forced to commit suicide in front of his own house. And Liulang's eldest Sun Dan died earlier in a post station outside Chang'an City, still with his roommate. Jun got in touch.
Now company commander Sun Jun is also dead...
This is the legitimate heir to the Changsun family!
If he died under the massacre he ordered, even if he was just an unintentional mistake, in the final analysis, he was still dead. If Changsun Wuji knew about this, how would he prepare himself to avenge his son?
Yuan Wei felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, stamping his feet and shouting: "Silang, you are killing me!"
He is not a fool. Changsun Jun was clearly kidnapped by the big cannibal. How could Changsun Yan not know? Since he knew this, he never told himself and told himself to "leave no one alive"... Yuan Wei, who had also seen the Yuan family's children fighting endlessly for the position of head of the family, how could he not guess Chang Sun Yan's thoughts?
But you just want to fight for the position of the head of the family, so why involve me?
This is so damn immoral!
Changsun Yan wiped his tears at this moment and shouted: "Shut up! Do you want to make the trouble known to everyone?"
Yuan Weixin said that everyone was dead, so what if I shouted twice?
Changsun Yan stood up, looked at him and said: "The third brother was doing something under the orders of his father. I didn't know that he was actually kidnapped by the cannibal. Otherwise, how could it have caused such a tragic disaster? But now, it's useless to talk about it. . Once my father learns about this, I will certainly not be able to escape the family law, but my brother you will also be angered by your father!”
Yuan Wei was so frightened that he trembled all over and almost cried: "What should I do?"
Changsun Wuji's name as a "yin man" is known to the world. This person always has a smile on his face and looks kind, but in reality he is petty and jealous. Now that his son died tragically in his own hands, even if it was an unintentional mistake, he would not let him go, and he would be buried with his son.
Changsun Yan said: "The soldiers under your command have no idea what is going on here. As long as you insist that the third brother was killed by the cannibal in advance, then the matter will naturally become a foregone conclusion, and you are just late in the rescue." . This way, you and I can escape punishment.”
Yuan Wei had long since lost his mind and nodded repeatedly when he heard this: "Whatever Shiro says, I will do it!"
He was currently in a state of confusion and had been frightened for a long time, so he naturally obeyed orders.
Changsun Yan had already known the case, so he said: "You should return to Suiye City immediately and write an official document about the extermination of the cannibals and submit it to the general. The general here is Xue Rengui, right? You must not mention your brother's matter, otherwise Xue Rengui will be strict Check, maybe there will be a loophole. I will take my brother's body away and find it somewhere. He was cremated locally and the ashes were brought back to Chang'an, saying that my brother was kidnapped by the cannibal and we couldn't rescue him. From then on, this matter was completely rotten in his stomach. No matter who asked, this was the same story. It’s up to you, brother, to bear the wrath of the eldest son’s family!”
This is really not a threat. Whether intentional or not, as long as the whole story is leaked, Yuan Wei will be responsible for Changsun Jun's death. With Changsun Wuji's evil-minded and ruthless character, how could Yuan Wei be spared?
Yuan Wei was so frightened that his two sides trembled. He nodded repeatedly and said: "Thank you, Shiro, for taking care of me! If I didn't say anything, I will sell my life to you. Whatever you say, I will do it!"
Changsun Yan knew that Yuanwei did not dare to tell what happened, otherwise he would die without a burial place, so he was completely relieved. He first grabbed a few gold ingots from the box and gave them to Yuanwei, and then killed his two confidants. The soldier came in and wrapped him in a rag. Changsun Jun's leader called in all the people he had brought, carried out the box full of gold, and finally asked his two henchmen to carry Changsun Jun's body to the backyard, burned it on fire, and grabbed some ashes. Put it in a jar.
Yuan Wei also asked his soldiers to tidy up the house, warned the onlookers to stay away, and then collected the corpses in a serious manner.
After everything was settled, the two said goodbye. Changsun Yan returned to Chang'an with the gold and Changsun Jun's ashes, while Yuanwei returned to Suiye City and reported to Xue Rengui.
……
If we were in Guanzhong, the sky would already be bright at the end of Yinshi, but in Suiye City, it would still be dark.
Yuan Wei came to the door of the government office, took a deep breath, and knocked on the door. When he saw the soldiers guarding the door, he asked to see Xue Rengui and told him to report it.
After a while, the soldiers took him into the government office and saw Xue Rengui in the flower hall.
Xue Rengui had obviously just been woken up from his sleep. His hair was a little messy, but he was in good spirits. He sat on the main seat and took a sip from the tea cup. When he saw Yuan Wei coming in, he nodded slightly and said, "Sit down, why are you in such a hurry?" Seek a meeting?”
After Yuanwei saluted, he sat down and said cautiously: "Tonight, I was ordered to patrol the city. When I arrived at the guest house outside the city, someone reported that I saw a cannibal who was acting suspiciously, so I went to inquire. Ignoring the light will inevitably damage the soldiers, so I plan to first After capturing the opponent, we asked again, but the opponent not only refused to cooperate, but also each wore a weapon. He had no choice but to order a strong attack. As a result, this group of thieves was very fierce and they all died in the battle without anyone surrendering. "
< br>
Xue Rengui put down the teacup, looked solemn, and asked: "Have you ever found out your identity?"
Suiye City was the foundation of the Tang Dynasty, but if a group of foreign merchants were killed for no reason, the reputation of the Tang Dynasty would inevitably be damaged. Once this matter spreads, it will make all merchants doubt the security of the Silk Road, which will affect the scale of transactions and reduce Datang's taxes.
If the other party is really an enemy spy, it will not affect the prestige of the Tang Dynasty, but it means that it is very likely that the enemy wants to conquer the Western Regions and has to guard against it.
So no matter what the identity of the thieves is, it is not a trivial matter.
Yuan Wei said: "Bizhi has already checked them. They are indeed cannibals. However, there is no evidence of identity verification. Bizhi has ordered the corpses to be collected. I beg Sima to send someone to investigate thoroughly."
With so many people dead, it's natural that he can't just say what the captain is saying. The Protectorate must send someone to conduct a thorough investigation and certify it.
Xue Rengui suddenly stood up and said with a solemn expression: "Quickly take this Sima to check. At the same time, he strictly ordered the number of night patrol soldiers in Suiye City to be doubled. The scouts were pushed a hundred miles away. Any disturbance must be reported in time. The soldiers in the city are ready to prepare. , sent a battle report to the Protectorate, requesting to mobilize three thousand soldiers to come to Suiye City to prevent any unexpected events!”
Since the big eater is sneaking up in Suiye City, we must take strict precautions. After all, there has been a precedent for the big eater coming to attack the Western Region.
At present, there are only two thousand defenders in Broken Leaf City. Although they are all elites, if a giant cannibal attacks like last time and gathers hundreds of thousands of troops, how can they stop it?
Suiye was the westernmost border where the Tang Dynasty ruled the Western Region. Once it was lost, the enemy could march straight in and suffer heavy losses.
Yuanwei trembled in his heart, the army was mobilized and prepared, things were going to be a big deal...
He determined that those big cannibals were just conducting some transactions with the Changsun family and had nothing to do with conquering Suiye City. However, Xue Rengui was too cautious and actually wanted to go into battle. In this way, he not only cooperated with the eldest son's family to destroy their opponents, but also lied about military information!
The former will probably be beaten with a military stick, but the latter will be beheaded...
After thinking about it, Yuan Wei said cautiously: "General Mingjian, I don't think this is the intention of the cannibals to conquer the Western Regions..."
"Huh?"
Xue Rengui was stunned and looked at Yuan Wei with a frown. (End of chapter)
