Chu Ze had a feeling that what happened today was too weird.
And he had no grudge against that person, so why did that person want to kill him?
Chu Ze wanted to find out for himself.
Zhao Si knew that he could not stop him, so he could only arrange the carriage to be more comfortable so that Chu Ze could sit on it more comfortably.
After the carriage was ready, Chu Ze immediately boarded the carriage.
The carriage drove quickly towards the Minjiang River.
It was still noon when Chu Ze fell into the water. When he reached the bank of the Min River again, it was completely dark.
The banks of the Minjiang River, which used to be peaceful in the past, are now burning with a long dragon made of torches.
There were obviously so many people moving, but the atmosphere of the whole scene was extremely heavy and depressing. Apart from the constant shouting, there were almost no other sounds, let alone the sounds of talking and playing.
As soon as Chu Ze got off the carriage, his face couldn't help but sink.
Something must have happened.
Looking at the situation in front of me, it shouldn't be a trivial matter.
Chu Ze stood outside the crowd and glanced inside. He noticed that there was an open space with a shed in the crowd.
There were many people standing next to the shed.
These ladies all had torches in their hands and stood there with solemn expressions.
Chu Ze subconsciously thought that Zhu Di was there.
When he got closer and saw clearly what was in the shed, he couldn't help but his pupils suddenly closed. This turned out to be a morgue!
There were two or three bodies lying in the shed.
Chu Ze glanced at them and found that these were the common people who followed them around every day.
Chu Ze could even name him.
"Chen Agou, Liu Laosan, Li Jiang..." He had spoken to these people and greeted them when he arrived in the morning.
But now, they are all lying here.
Chu Ze even knew why they were lying here.
——To save him.
The moment he was knocked unconscious, he knew that there must be more than one person coming into the water to save him.
But he didn't expect that three lives would be lost because of him.
By the way, where is Sun Zhengde?
Chu Ze suddenly raised his head and looked around.
Not only was Sun Zhengde absent, but Liu Jing and Zhu Di were also absent.
Where are they?
Chu Ze immediately grabbed a commoner and asked them where they were.
The man recognized Chu Ze. He was excited at first and said that he was lucky to be fine. Then he sighed heavily, pointed to the distance and said, "They are all over there. Let's take the adults there."
The common people walked in front, leading Chu Ze to the river bank.
The further we walked toward the river bank, the clearer the shouts became.
For some reason, Chu Ze felt more and more uneasy.
In this short distance of less than a hundred meters, Chu Ze stopped several times, then took a deep breath and continued walking forward.
Zhao Si followed Chu Ze without saying a word, just following him silently.
When Chu Ze reached the river bank, the people all turned sideways, got out of the way, and looked at Chu Ze.
Chu Ze couldn't tell what was in their eyes when they looked at him.
But Chu Ze felt extremely uncomfortable with those looks.
It was so heavy that Chu Ze could hardly breathe.
He pursed his lips and walked straight to the center.
Zhu Di and Liu Jing were both there.
Seeing Chu Ze coming, Zhu Di and Liu Jing were silent for a moment, then silently stepped aside and said, "Send him off."
Chu Ze's chest dropped suddenly.
Behind Zhu Di and Liu Jing, there was also a corpse.
The body was still dripping with water; it had just been fished out of the water.
The owner of this corpse is none other than Sun Zhengde.
Chu Ze's mind went blank and he stood there blankly.
Zhu Di and Liu Jing didn't bother either.
The others didn't make a sound, they just stood aside and watched silently, the only sound of burning torches in the air.
Crack it, crack it.
Like firecrackers lit for the dead.
It seemed like a long time passed, and it seemed like only a moment passed.
Only then did Chu Ze regain his consciousness.
He slowly walked towards Sun Zhengde.
Sun Zhengde was born very tall, not like a weak scholar at all.
But this person also happens to be full of pedantism.
He still remembered that when they first met, this man was like a little green tea, constantly trying to provoke him and Zhu Ming.
After being caught by them, he even thought about escaping.
However, after Chu Ze taught him a lesson, he became more disciplined.
Then, this person followed him and said he wanted to be an official.
But now he hasn't even taken the official position, and Chu Ze hasn't even had time to write down his affairs and tell the emperor.
Others died first.
Chu Ze squatted beside Sun Zhengde in silence.
After a while, Chu Ze asked: "Has the person who pushed us into the water been caught?"
"People have been sent to arrest you," Zhu Di said. "According to the people at that time, the man who pushed you into the water was called Sun Laoliu, and he was a well-known gangster in their village. He usually wandered around the village doing nothing every day. But today In the morning, he suddenly found the village chief and said that he wanted to find a job to earn a small amount of money to spend. He also specified that he wanted to come here. He said that he had been playing in the river since he was a child and was more familiar with this river than his own home. , so I think I came to help Liu Jing. The village chief agreed after thinking about it, and personally brought the person to Liu Jing this morning. "
Liu Jing nodded: "That's right."
Today he suddenly came to work, and he specifically asked to follow Liu Jing, but in the end he pushed him into the river.
To say that this was not a deliberate murder, even if Chu Ze was killed, he would not believe it.
"We must catch him." Chu Ze stood up and said to Liu Jing, "We remember that Liu Jing once said that he had no family. You should collect his body first, but don't bury it yet. They all died for us, we We want them to watch and see how we can avenge them. By the way, have the family members of those common people been notified?"
"I've already sent someone to inform me. I think I'll be back soon."
Zhu Di's voice was about to fall, and a heartbreaking cry immediately sounded in the morgue.
Chu Ze cried so much that his heart clenched.
Chu Ze took off his coat, covered Sun Zhengde's body, then turned and walked towards the morgue.
The three family members knelt down beside the corpse, crying loudly.
Chu Ze stood aside, neither stopping nor dissuading.
In this situation, he didn't know what to do.
Can only wait.
After waiting for a long time, a guard ran over and said, "Sir, Sun Laoliu has been captured."
Only then did Chu Ze move his legs, which were a little numb from standing.
He knelt down to the three widows, kowtowed, and said: "They all died because of Chu Ze, and we must give them an explanation." After saying that, he stood up and walked aside, and ordered, "Send Sun Laoliu bring it here."
"yes."
After Sun Laoliu was brought up, without saying a word, he knelt down and began to beg for mercy.
Spare your life, sir, spare your life. We have no grudges against you. The one who wants to kill you is not us, but someone else. We only received some money to do things for him. Please see that we are not the masterminds of this matter. For my sake, please spare us. "Sun Laoliu kowtowed his head.
Chu Ze had a sullen face and said coldly: "Who ordered you? Tell me quickly!"
