Spring and Autumn GL
8. Deception
Fan Li came out of the side hall, and went straight to Goujian's room. Goujian had been waiting for a long time, and when he saw Fan Li coming, he invited him in politely, turned around, closed the door tightly, and said:
"Didn't Doctor Fan want to talk to me? What's the matter?"
Fan Li took out a piece of silk from his bosom and gave it to Gou Jian.This silk is exactly the letter Xi Shi wrote to his mother.
Gou Jian frowned after seeing it: "I didn't expect that the two of them are sisters, but it doesn't affect anything, and the two of them won't talk nonsense. But we can't let other people know about it. One more thing is worse than one less thing." , if they are asked to investigate by Wu Guo in the future, they may cause trouble and suspect their purpose."
He returned the silk to Fan Li and said:
"Just follow the original plan, and be clean and tidy. After all, there are many eyes and ears in Zhuluo Village. You should not go there in person with great fanfare. It is best to send someone reliable."
Fan Li said: "I know all about this matter, but I have to go to this matter myself. I must ensure that no one else knows about this matter. Besides, there are not many dead men in my country of Yue, so we can't kill people because of this matter."
"What are you going to do?"
"The people in Zhuluo Village, after all, have only met the minister once, and not many recognize him. The minister is going to disguise himself as a merchant to sell goods, and kill Li and Zheng at night."
Gou Jian frowned: "Everyone in the village knows that you came and took away Xi Shi and Zheng Dan. Now you only kill two of them. People will inevitably think that this matter has something to do with you."
"Then will the minister kill a few more irrelevant people?"
Gou Jian shook his head: "If possible, no one from Zhuluo Village can stay."
Fan Li's eyes froze, he didn't expect Gou Jian to be so vicious, but he also knew that he wanted to avoid future troubles as much as possible.What if the king of Wu someday finds out about Xi Shi and Zheng Dan's life experiences, and arrests someone from Zhuluo village for torture.He is not worried that the two women will be exposed if they are tortured, because he is confident that within the next two years, they will be trained to be the ultimate fighters.
Gou Jian thought for a while, and said: "The widow suddenly remembered something, which can make these two women give up. Tomorrow you go to Xiyuan to find Dr. Liu. He has several sets of Wu Jun's armor."
Fan Li instantly understood: "It's really a clever plan, it's a really clever plan. In this way, the two of them will definitely serve our king wholeheartedly. But... what about that letter?"
Gou Jian sighed: "Let's show it to Mrs. Li, and let her die in peace, but no evidence can be left."
Fan Li said: "I understand, so I will go back and prepare. Within three days, I will definitely come back."
Gou Jian nodded in agreement, and Fan Li withdrew.
On the second day, Zheng Dan and Xi Shi were restless, and went for a stroll near the school grounds together. Zheng Dan thought that Fan Li might be here, and wanted to take a look at him. What followed.As a result, no one was seen when the two met, so they sadly walked to the pavilion in the back garden and sat down.
Xi Shi said: "No home, why am I so restless today, I always feel that something is going to happen, and I don't feel like doing anything."
Zheng Dan said: "Oh, I also feel a little bit when you say that. I think it's what the King and Fan Li said yesterday that made us both uneasy."
Xi Shi sighed and didn't do business, and secretly felt that this was not the case, but she couldn't explain why, she didn't know why she was so worried for no reason.
The two sat in the garden for half a day, chatting with each other casually, until a sergeant came to call, and then they suddenly realized that it was almost dusk, and returned to the side hall.
Fan Li replaced two followers with high martial arts skills, rushed to Ancheng, bought some goods, hired a carriage, put a mask on his face, and came to Zhuluo Village in a hurry.He asked his followers to pretend to be businessmen, but he himself pretended to be a master. The cart was full of strange things, placed on a thick cloth, and under the cloth were several sets of Wu Jun's armor.
Zhuluo village did not come to a group of merchants for ten or eight years. When the villagers saw a merchant coming, they took out the useless things in their homes and exchanged things with Fan Li and his party.Fan Li didn't say a word, treating himself as a dumb person, and the villagers didn't pay any attention to this guy who looked like a servant, they only cared about what was in the car.
After working for half a day, Fan Li and his party sneaked up in the middle of the night, sprinkled a pack of strong poison into the four wells, looked around and found no one, then went out of the village at night, burned the carriage, and put on Wu Jun clothes, waiting for dawn in a secluded place at the entrance of the village.At daybreak, people in the village began to die one after another. No one knew why. When someone finally found out that there was a problem with the water, it was too late. Only one out of ten villagers remained. The three of Fan Li blocked the road and killed them. After dusk, no one came out, and the whole village turned into a dead village.
However, because Zheng and Li are widows and have a small family, they ate the stored water from the previous days, so they did not suffer a major disaster.But they didn't know where they were going to flee, so they had to sit at home trembling, waiting for the disaster to pass.
Mrs. Li was panicking in the house, wondering who she had offended, and if they wanted to massacre them in the village, could it be said that they offended the gods?Just as she was thinking about it, she heard a knock on the door. She was overjoyed at the thought that there were still people alive. She opened the door without thinking too much, but was surprised to see the face outside the door.
"Doctor Fan? You...why are you back again?"
Fan Li smiled: "Zheng Dan and Xi Shi asked me to deliver the letter."
Li's face was overjoyed, and he quickly opened the silk to look at it. After seeing it, he smiled happily, turned his head and said to Fan Li:
"Doctor Fan, you have seen it too. For some reason, Zhuluo Village has been hit by a catastrophe. I have nowhere to go. Can you take me to Kuaiji to meet Yiguang?"
Fan Li smiled strangely, but did not speak.
Seeing this weird smile, Mrs. Li frowned, and then her expression was shocked, and she understood everything.
"You...you did a good job! You! Why!"
Fan Li said: "It's all for the great cause of Yue Guo, don't worry, your two daughters will live well."
"No—" Li Shi yelled and wanted to rush out the door, but was caught by a follower, who couldn't help but stab a sword into his chest. Li Shi fell over with wide eyes, holding the silk tightly with one hand, A hand was pressed behind his back, and he had no strength to pull it out.She was spitting blood from her mouth, with a look of surprise and resentment.Seeing this, the entourage went up and slashed her neck directly. Li Shi sneered with his last breath, closed his eyes, and did not breathe again.
This sneer made the hairs on Fan Li's back stand on end. He shuddered and felt that Mrs. Li was indeed dead. Then he broke her hand that was tightly clasped on his chest, took out the silk, and lit it with a flint. , Even the house was burned down.
Seeing the flames in the sky, Mrs. Zheng saw the direction to the west of the village. Worried that Mrs. Li had something to do, she ran out in a hurry, but encountered Fan Li and his party on the way.From a distance, she thought it was three Wu soldiers, she turned around and fled, but she couldn't escape Fan Li and his party, and within thirty steps, she was overtaken by the three of them, and a sword pierced her back.Zheng desperately turned around, wanting to see the appearance of his killer, but she caught sight of Fan Li who was standing with folded arms, showing a strange expression of surprise and doubt, struggling desperately, and finally put his hands into a In a strange posture, he fell straight down.Just as Fan Li was about to burn the corpse, it suddenly rained heavily. The three of them had to brave the rain to search the village thoroughly, killed a few fish that slipped through the net, and then went back to a house at the entrance of the village to hide from the rain.
The heavy rain did not stop for a whole day. Seeing that no one ran out of the village and they still had the three-day promise with Goujian, the three of Fan Li took off their armor and threw it everywhere in the village, leaving only one helmet. In his hand, he returned to Ancheng through the mud.
Xi Shi and Zheng Dan, who were sleeping soundly, suddenly woke up from the bed screaming at the same time, looking at each other with cold sweat on their faces.
Zheng Dan spoke first: "I, I... I dreamed that my mother died. Both your mother and mine are dead."
Xi Shi swallowed and let out a long breath: "I...I am the same, so..."
The two could no longer fall asleep, they hugged the quilt, looked worried, and had no sleep all night.
On the second day, the two finally waited until Fan Li came back, holding a helmet in his hand, Xi Shi caught him and asked:
"Has the letter been delivered, my mother, how is my mother?"
Fan Li looked sad and shook his head.Seeing this, Xi Shi and Zheng Dan suddenly felt that something was wrong, so they slumped on their chairs.After a long time, Zheng Dan said:
"What happened?"
Fan Li said in a low voice: "For some unknown reason, a group of soldiers from the State of Wu came to Zhuluo Village. Maybe the villagers provoked them somewhere, and they... killed the entire village. ,No exception……"
Xi Shi and Zheng Dan didn't say a word, and burst into tears.Fan Li handed over the helmet in his hand and said:
"I only brought two men with me, but I couldn't beat them. I only killed a few sergeants, and brought this helmet back... Alas, please let your condolences pass, I will come back to you in a few days."
"Where's my mother's body?" Xi Shi asked.
Fan Li shook his head: "I myself escaped by chance, and I didn't have time to collect the bodies for the two of them. I didn't even get back a single relic."
Xi Shi choked with sobs and said, "Could it be that they are going to be exposed to the wilderness? You...you promised to let them live comfortably, but now, now..."
Fan Li said: "It's all my fault, it's all my fault, I didn't expect that Wu soldiers would be so cruel and heartless... Sigh, but our country of Yue is too weak, otherwise I would definitely avenge you!"
Zheng Dan gritted his teeth and said: "Those Wu people are really nothing! As long as I, Zheng Wujia, live, I will definitely destroy their country and family!"
There was no change on Fan Li's face, but he was secretly happy in his heart. The provocative method really succeeded, and he said:
"You two girls, don't be too sad. Sooner or later our country of Yue will destroy the country of Wu. The more you two hold back, the sooner we can take down the country of Wu. I will send some mourning clothes to you two in the next few days. After seven days, let's talk about revenge."
Xi Shi nodded with tears in her eyes, looked at the helmet in Fan Li's hand with resentment, and said:
"Doctor Fan, go on your own. As long as you can destroy Wu, I, Shi Yiguang, will listen to you."
Fan Li backed away with his hands folded, walked out the door of the side hall, and then lowered his head and sighed.He really didn't want to do it so badly, but it was all for the great cause of revenge. If other people's great career can be achieved, he must rebuild Zhuluo Village, erect a big stone tablet for the dead villagers, and build a big temple.
When Gou Jian heard Fan Li report this matter, although he praised in his mouth, there was great sadness on his face. Although Zhuluo Village was very small compared with the whole Yue Kingdom, the more than a hundred names were real.For the Yue Kingdom, tens of thousands of soldiers had died, and now so many innocent people had died. As the King of Yue, he felt very sorry.
"If these common people know about it, they will forgive King Yue." Fan Li comforted.
Goujian smiled wryly: "I'm afraid not. Zhuluo Village used to have nothing to do with the world. The rise and fall of my country had nothing to do with them, but now because of the widows, they all took their lives. Doctor Fan, you don't need to comfort me." , take advantage of these few days and send someone to bury them quietly. When the great cause is completed, the widow will build temples for them."
Fan Li said: "Your Majesty is indeed kind-hearted, so I will send someone to do it."
Goujian and Fan Li thought that they had done everything perfectly, but they never expected that they would miss out one person, and this person was the old man who instructed Fan Li to go to Zhuluo Village in Ancheng that day.This old man used to be acquainted with Mrs. Li, and he had received a meal from her in the early years, so he came back to Zhuluo Village occasionally to visit.Coincidentally, the day after Fan Li left, he came to Zhuluo Village and saw corpses strewn all over the field, no one was alive. After seeing a few corpses, he found that most of them had no wounds on their bodies, but their faces were blue. Only a dozen of them had knives on their bodies. There was also a woman who was acting strangely and thought it was strange, but she didn't think about it. She just rushed to Li's house and saw that the whole house had been reduced to ashes.He tried his best to find Li Shi's body, but he couldn't see it. When he lifted it up to see, there was half a word under the body. He was shocked, and immediately understood a lot.
Seeing this, the old man didn't dare to say anything, covered the word with ashes, put Li's body back, and hurried back to Ancheng.
The author has something to say: I found that some people said that my writing was too profound.Is it esoteric?Is it esoteric?No way... woo woo woo woo.
"Didn't Doctor Fan want to talk to me? What's the matter?"
Fan Li took out a piece of silk from his bosom and gave it to Gou Jian.This silk is exactly the letter Xi Shi wrote to his mother.
Gou Jian frowned after seeing it: "I didn't expect that the two of them are sisters, but it doesn't affect anything, and the two of them won't talk nonsense. But we can't let other people know about it. One more thing is worse than one less thing." , if they are asked to investigate by Wu Guo in the future, they may cause trouble and suspect their purpose."
He returned the silk to Fan Li and said:
"Just follow the original plan, and be clean and tidy. After all, there are many eyes and ears in Zhuluo Village. You should not go there in person with great fanfare. It is best to send someone reliable."

"What are you going to do?"
"The people in Zhuluo Village, after all, have only met the minister once, and not many recognize him. The minister is going to disguise himself as a merchant to sell goods, and kill Li and Zheng at night."
Gou Jian frowned: "Everyone in the village knows that you came and took away Xi Shi and Zheng Dan. Now you only kill two of them. People will inevitably think that this matter has something to do with you."
"Then will the minister kill a few more irrelevant people?"
Gou Jian shook his head: "If possible, no one from Zhuluo Village can stay."
Fan Li's eyes froze, he didn't expect Gou Jian to be so vicious, but he also knew that he wanted to avoid future troubles as much as possible.What if the king of Wu someday finds out about Xi Shi and Zheng Dan's life experiences, and arrests someone from Zhuluo village for torture.He is not worried that the two women will be exposed if they are tortured, because he is confident that within the next two years, they will be trained to be the ultimate fighters.
