  Chapter 785 Narrow escape

There was water all over the well, some clean water, and some overflowing dirty water for washing dishes. Zheng Mingzhu made a loud noise when she fell. Everyone looked over and saw her lying on the ground with a face like gold paper. like a statue.

  The maidservant who bumped into her was startled. Seeing everyone looking at her, she immediately argued: "I didn't bump into her, she fell because she couldn't stand herself."

  But no one believed her out loud, and no one blamed her. Everyone watched indifferently, and then lowered their heads when they heard the steward's footsteps, and continued their work without taking this matter to heart.

  In the general's mansion, people die from time to time, and the more people die, the more people get used to it.

   It’s just a fall, what’s all the fuss about?

  The purchasing steward stepped forward on the water, put his hand on the tip of her nose, frowned slightly, and said to the steward who hurried over: "If you die, you should be exhausted."

  When the steward heard this, he became anxious, "We all go to and from work on time, how could we be exhausted?"

The manager of purchasing said: "Then report illness and die, and carry them out tonight. I'll see if I can buy some to fill the vacancy tomorrow. There are a lot of guests these two days, so be careful. If you let the general know that the mansion We are exhausted, and none of us have a good time."

  The steward felt a chill down his spine, and nodded repeatedly, "I'll have someone throw her out right now."

  The manager of purchasing said "hmm", waiting for him to call someone to call the body collector, he asked, "Is the list ready?"

   "Okay, okay," the steward took out a list to the purchasing steward, "This is the dish that was accidentally damaged in the past few days."

  The purchasing manager just took a look and stuffed it into his sleeve, "I'll see if I can fill it up when I go shopping tomorrow."

  Just as the corpse collection team arrived, the purchasing manager looked down at Zheng Mingzhu who was lying on the wet ground, sighed and said, "After all, I have served the general. Roll up her mat. At least there is a place to shelter her."

  As soon as the steward accepted his favor, he was naturally willing to sell him a favor, and immediately asked someone to drag a broken mat.

   Zheng Mingzhu's mat is okay, so it is naturally reserved for the next dish washer, but the broken mat can be given to her.

  The corpse collection team moved the corpse to a roll on the mat and walked out directly carrying the mat.

  Because the time of contact with the body was not long, they did not find that the person was still alive. Zheng Mingzhu was lying in the water, her hands and feet were cold, and she felt like a dead person to the touch.

  The manager of purchasing also went out. The manager of the front yard and the guards of the servants lived very close to the corner gate, so they went the same way.

   Near the corner gate, the body collection team wanted to throw the person in a corner, and send it out after dawn.

  When the purchasing manager saw it, he asked, "Is someone dead in front?"

  The corpse collection team replied: "Just now there were two dancers at the banquet who were disobedient. They just brought them here, but they died in an ugly way."

  The purchasing manager frowned and said, "Let's send them to the mass grave now, the smell of corpses and blood is not good."

  The corpse collection team was reluctant.

The manager of the purchase took out a bunch of copper coins and threw them to them, saying: "Hurry up, since the one from Yuzhou came to the door yesterday, the tempers of the general and the junior general are not very good, especially the junior general, the whole house is looking for bad luck. Knowing that you didn't dispose of the dead bodies in time, there will be troubles, and we will all have a hard time."

  When the corpse collection team heard this, they immediately took the copper coins and said with a flattering smile: "Don't worry, I'll take care of it later."

  They thought that the purpose of purchasing the steward was to cleanse the steward of the yard. After all, if someone died in his yard, even if the general didn't ask the crime, he would be punished according to the rules.

  The corpse collection team also cleaned up the other two corpses. In fact, they just threw the corpses on the cart, covered them with thatch and transported them out.

There is a place to throw corpses in the city. It used to be a place where corpses were incinerated. There are dead people everywhere, and some unclaimed and buried corpses are thrown there. They can't be burned, and finally they don't burn them at all. Just throw them there and it's over.

  So the cremation pit became a mass grave. In the past two years, a lot of dense weeds and trees have grown there, and it looks super nutritious.

  The corpse collection team was very familiar with this road, and pushed the cart all the way to the mass grave, leaving the three corpses on the cart.

  Zheng Mingzhu was lying on the broken mat, and heard people pushing the scooter farther and farther. She didn't start to move until there was no sound nearby.

  She rolled twice on the spot, rolled out of the broken mat, and then sat up tremblingly with her arms propped up, with a piercing stone in one hand and something cold and wet in the other.

  She turned her head to look, and under the moonlight, a half-naked corpse came into view.

  Zheng Mingzhu was startled, and took two steps back with her arms propped up.

  She looked at the two piled corpses with trembling lips, and dragged the mat with trembling hands.

She covered them with the mat, and then stood up on the ground, looking around, in the weeds and wilderness, there were strange bird calls, and the sound of wings flapping, under the moonlight, there were many shadows, in the darkness seemed There are monsters watching her.

  Zheng Mingzhu looked around, feeling a little scared, but when she lowered her head and saw the two corpses at her feet, her fear dissipated.

  Is there any place in this world more terrifying than the human world?

  Hell is nothing more than that, right?

  Zheng Mingzhu walked out with two tired legs, she had to leave, although she didn't know who rescued her and why, but she didn't want to be a chess piece anymore, she wanted to go home, Gao Wan.

  Zheng Mingzhu's news was blocked. She didn't know that her parents had moved to Yuncheng, and she didn't even know that Qingzhou was divided, so Gou Chuncai came back from Qingzhou.

  She had only walked a dozen steps, when two people emerged from the depths of the weeds and stopped in front of her, "Miss Zheng? But Miss Zheng from Gao Wan?"

  Zheng Mingzhu pursed her lips, but still replied: "Yes, I am."

   "What is your small print, when is your birthday?"

   Zheng Mingzhu saw the knives in their hands and knew that if she answered incorrectly, she might die on the spot, so she could only answer honestly.

   Right on.

  The two immediately put away their knives, stepped forward and said, "Miss Zheng, we were sent by your father to rescue you, please come with us. We will send you out of the city early tomorrow morning to chase your father."

  Zheng Mingzhu's eyes widened, "Did my father hire you?"

  One of them chuckled lightly and said, "Your father can't afford to hire us. We are the Zhao Family Army. Your father is now our governor's servant."

...

  In the General's Mansion half a city away from here, Wang Dun's face was also extremely ugly.

  He came out of the banquet, and was blowing air in the yard. Thinking of the extravagance and absurdity of the banquet, he was still very unhappy.

  When he was in Qingzhou, he heard that the general had become absurd, but he didn't know that he could be so absurd.
