Chapter 126 The Sapphire Case
Thunder bursts, heavy rain torrential.
Zhou Ji stepped on the ground, staggered and fell two steps forward, and before he could react, he was drowned by the pouring rain.
Wiping the rain off his face, Zhou Ji found that the surrounding forests were densely covered, and the lush vegetation seemed to be covered with fog under the washing of the rain curtain, which seemed unreal.
From the feedback from the Four Square Diagram, he learned that the world he traversed this time is called "The Son-in-law".
Zhou Ji had heard of the novel "Zuo Son" before he started traveling in 2012. It seemed to be a historical work, but to be honest, he had never seen its drama even in Sito's World in 2020.
But this is also normal.
After all, what he had been making up for in the past were all movies and TV dramas such as fairy tales and fantasy, such as Zuo Son, which is completely based on history, and the force value is even unstoppable by Barrett and Fumo Yuleijian. Really didn't pay much attention.
When mentioning the Yulei Sword, Zhou Ji hesitated for a moment, but still pulled out the sword umbrella from the sword case.
Although I don’t know if the Fumo Yulei Sword made of metal propped up in a thunderstorm will be hacked, but it’s better than being drenched in a soup, and you can’t even tell the direction?
Just as he was hesitating whether to be a walking lightning rod, a figure swaying in the depths of the woods caught his attention.
………
"Master, the sixth son said that the Su family's carriage has already left the city and is driving this way!"
Wu Qihao pushed away the servants who came to summon the messenger, knowing that this matter must not be delayed, he snatched a short stick from the other guard, and a ruthless light flashed in his eyes.
He raised his short stick and hit the back of the scholar who was restrained by the nursing home severely.
There was only a muffled sound, and the scholar fell to the ground in response, his nose and mouth soaked in the muddy water, and blood oozes in an instant.
Maybe it was seeing a carriage coming from a distance.
Wu Qihao wanted to leave, but he was a little unwilling, so he raised his hand to mend another stick, then lifted the messy hair that was thrown to his forehead, and beckoned to the nurse next to him to escape with him.
When Zhou Ji had come close, Wu Qihao had already fled in a hurry with his servants. He only saw the back of a young man in a dark brocade suit, disappearing into the depths of the rain, and in front of him lay a man in a coarse cloth gown. The scholar, blood kept oozing from the top of his head, and then was washed away by the rain.
Zhou Ji frowned, and stretched out his hand to touch the man's neck, his brows that were originally slightly frowned tightened again.
This person is already dead.
The previous stick hit the brain, maybe there is still a rescue.
But the second strike cut off the hope of survival. It can only be said that the rich man who made the shot was extremely fierce, and he didn't want to let this person survive from the very beginning.
Zhou Ji bent down and took out a guide from this person. Only then did he know that it was the seventh year of Jinghan in the Wu Dynasty, and the young scholar who died was named Ning Yi, whose name was Liheng, and who was originally from Jiangning City. person.
The carriage in the distance is getting closer and closer. Zhou Ji has no intention of taking the blame for others. After cleaning up the traces of his own walking, he walked through the official road from the other side of the woods, looked back at the carriage parked by the roadside, and looked at the misty rain. The dark city wall walked.
There has been no war in the south of the Yangtze River for a long time, and Jiangning is a rich place. The guards hiding from the rain in the doorway seem to be quite slack. Zhou Ji easily got into the city without using Ning Yi's guide, and hurriedly found an inn to replace it. A robe soaked in rain.
It was still raining outside at the moment, whether it was the pedestrians on the street or the customers in the restaurant, there were much fewer than before. Zhou Ji gave up the idea of going out, and took advantage of his spare time to take stock of the supplies he brought for this crossing.
In addition to the regular medical first aid kit, the mobile phone used to test electronic products turned into gravel without accident.
Zhou Ji took out a stack of A4 papers pressed at the bottom of the sword case, roughly checked the "necessary information for crossing" printed on it, and nodded reassuringly.
From "One Man's Martial Arts" to "Celebrating More Than Years", he had prepared such materials. Unfortunately, he didn't know that electronic products could not be carried during the crossing process, so his mobile phone and mobile phone were full of various "learning materials". Computers are reduced to grit.
When leaving "Celebrating More Than Years", Zhou Ji didn't request to bring paper documents because he wanted to hide from the artificial intelligence in the temple, and then used the square map to kill the opponent.
Fortunately, the world of "Si Teng" is a modern society, and Zhou Ji, who has absorbed the lessons of the previous few times, only carried a smartphone this time, and the rest of the space is filled with all kinds of information collected from Bihu and Tieba. 'Traveling Little Common Sense'.
Zhou Ji, who has been in Wulin Gaiden for eight years, can deeply feel:
Even the little knowledge of "making toilet paper in the local way" does not help his strength at all, but it can make him live a lot more comfortable in life.
The rain in the south comes in a hurry and leaves reluctantly.
It wasn't until noon the next day that the rain gradually weakened. Zhou Ji left the inn and was wandering in the street. He overheard someone chatting, saying that the son-in-law originally booked by the Su family was killed outside the city yesterday, and even his body was sent to the Fuya.
Zhou Ji was stunned after hearing this. According to the feedback from the square map, this world is the film and television version of "Zuo Son". Could it be that the one who died in the woods yesterday is the so-called protagonist?
Zhou Ji said he didn't believe it, but he already had the answer in his heart.
Two days later, Ning Yi's death intensified, as if someone was behind the scenes, trying to give Miss Su a notoriety as Koff.
Based on his experience in the Jianghu, it is obvious that there is not only one family behind this scene, besides Su's old rival Wu's family, it seems that there are also people in her Su family who want to take the opportunity to throw dirty water.
With Zhou Ji's character, he is not interested in these business and house fights, and he doesn't want to get involved in these messy things.
Ning Yi's death was indeed beyond his expectations, but every world he experienced was not a virtual game revolving around the protagonist.
Without one Ning Yi, the world will not collapse, and time will not stand still. Everyone will still have their own life, but the life trajectory of birth, old age, sickness and death will be deviated.
Zhou Ji has found the person he has always wanted to find while learning about the world these days.
Wu Qihao.
The rich man who beat Ning Yi to death with a short stick in the woods that day.
Zhou Ji will not, like a certain cockroach country, claim to be a "world police sassafras" in a lofty posture. He didn't even think about shouting 'kill for life' and break into Wu's house to avenge a suspected fellow villager.
He was just an ordinary Saint Thief, and when he was short of money, he did something that was in line with the professionalism of a Saint Thief.
The gangsters, those who steal are rich and unkind!
In one night, Zhou Ji moved away almost all the deposits of the ancestors of the Wu family.
Silver notes and jewelry are things that can be traced easily, so Zhou Ji didn’t touch a single penny. What he stole was only buried deep in the bottom of the box.
On the surface, it seems that it will not affect the daily operation of the Wu family, but in essence, it has hollowed out the Wu family's heritage. When the wind and rain are precarious, there may be no chance of a comeback.
The gold ingots of more than four hundred catties were not easy to hide even for Zhou Ji, so Zhou Ji found a dangerous place in Xiaocang Mountain outside the city, buried the gold ingots, and then returned to Jiangning as if nothing had happened. The down-and-out young man who took refuge in the south from Yanyun's hometown even bought a house by the Xiushui River in the south of the city to settle down, and washed the gold ingots on his body into soft belts.
As a large city with a population of more than 100,000, Jiangning has business travelers from all over the world every day, especially when the war in the Northland is unpredictable, and there are not a few people who took refuge in the old place of Wu Kingdom.
Zhou Ji is not afraid of being spotted by the Wu family, because when they find out that the deposit in the secret cellar has been stolen, it may be time for disaster.
This time, the interval between time travel is only more than three months, and Zhou Ji is also happy to relax. Anyway, with the blessing of the Nine-Eyed Dzi Bead, he is now no different from a long-lived man. It is only three short months to appreciate the long-lost ancient style. , passed in a blink of an eye.
On the other side, Su Tan'er's situation has indeed become more and more difficult.
The rumors outside became more and more fierce, and the second uncle and second brother in the family also took the opportunity to make trouble again and again, thinking that they would take this opportunity to marry her out, and then deprive her of the opportunity to compete for the Su family's palm.
Regarding this, Su Tan'er is really speechless.
Even if she and Ning Yi have never met, even the marriage contract was just casually set by the old man, but as a woman, how can she argue for herself?
It would be fine if it was just making things difficult for the family, but now these rumors have begun to affect the business of the store.
This made Su Tan'er even more difficult to accept.
Frowning slightly, she flipped through the accounts on the table, when suddenly the voice of the shopkeeper Xi Junyu came from outside the door.
"Miss, Mr. Wu is blocking the door again."
On the street, Zhou Ji saw Wu Qihao who was blocking the gate of Su's cloth shop from a distance, couldn't help but sneered, shook his head and wanted to leave.
But in a trance, with some familiar footsteps came from the store, a light yellow cross-collared skirt came into view, and Lianbu walked lightly. Zhou Ji, who was about to leave, suddenly looked back, as if the lights were dimmed. People who exist in this world step out of Su's cloth shop.
Is it the power of the red umbrella?
Or hallucinations?
There were people coming and going on the street, only Zhou Ji stood there with a complicated expression, looked at the woman in the crowd from a distance, and murmured:
"Ruo Ruo."
(The son-in-law Kawenka is very serious, and it may also be because the emotions of the previous volume were too deep.)
(Trying to get back in shape.)
(In short, please forgive me if you don’t like it.)
