Chapter 357

He checked the blood stains and confirmed that they were all knocked unconscious. He whistled and pulled He Miao, who was lying on the stool, to the side and stuffed an antidote into his mouth.

He went to the backyard while there was still some time before he woke up. Under the horrified eyes of the kitchen and the shopkeeper, he scooped water to wash the blood on his body.

With wet long hair, Zhao raised his chin to the shopkeeper and waved to him not to be afraid, "Shopkeeper, I'm sorry to bother you with your business."

The shopkeeper and the kitchen keeper hugged each other tightly, nodded like sieves, and trembled to spit out a few words, "No, no, it's not a problem."

Just now, Zhao was covered in blood and dripped to the ground, but he still had a weird smile on his face. Not to mention the two ordinary people, the shopkeeper and the kitchen keeper, even those who are a little brave would have their scalps tingling.

Zhao Jue also understood this, so he restrained his smile and whispered: "Don't worry, I won't implicate you. It's just that there are still some things to do. You two can't go out and report to the authorities now. I'm sorry for making things difficult for you two."

"No, no, no..."

Seeing the two people hugging each other tighter and trembling with fear, Zhao knew that he couldn't explain any more. Otherwise, the two of them would scare themselves to death before he finished speaking.

So he shook his head, took out a silver ingot from his arms and put it on the stove, raised his voice and said seriously: "This ingot of silver is used as compensation for your tables, chairs and benches. You stay here tonight and don't go out. Go out the back door early tomorrow morning and report to the authorities in Jiangzhou."

"If the government asks, you two say that those people were killed by Zhao Muzhi, and you can be guaranteed to be safe! Remember, it was Zhao Muzhi!"

When the two heard the words "guaranteed to be safe", their faces looked a little better, swallowed their saliva, nodded and promised in a trembling voice: "Remember, I will remember."

"Zhao what?" Zhao was worried and leaned over to ask.

"Zhao Muzi!" The two said in unison.

Zhao covered his face, gritted his teeth and whispered: "It's Zhao Muzhi, Mu in Muyang, Zhihuzheya's Zhi!"

The two who were corrected were very serious, "Remember it, uncle, Mu in Muyang, Zhihuzheya's Zhi!"

Seeing this, he didn't say much, turned around and walked out while whispering: "It's best to remember it, you only have one life."

As he stepped out of the door, he seemed to think of something, turned his head and smiled: "If the clerks don't know... let them report to the prefect. As for the reason... just use the Jinyiwei to get away with it. Remember to be polite, so you can avoid a beating."

"Understood." The two looked happy.

After saying that, Zhao didn't stay any longer and hurried to the lobby. He had said and done everything he should say and do, and he had done his best. As for whether the two of them would make mistakes because they didn't say it clearly...

Ha, only God knows.

Of course, doing these things is not to appear noble, but just to abide by principles. It's none of their business, so there's no need to involve innocent people and cause them trouble.

Killers have to be reasonable too.

He pulled a stool from the side and sat down, patted He Miaocong's face, and said with a smile: "Master He, if you wake up, open your eyes quickly. I didn't want to kill you when you fainted just now, and I won't do that now."

Before he could pat the third time, He Miaocong opened his eyes with lingering fear. Seeing the smiling face in front of him, he forced a stiff smile and said affirmatively: "Hero, I absolutely believe you!"

Uh... I need you to believe? Zhao complained in his heart.

"What? Don't you recognize me? Master He, I'm very curious, how did you survive? Isn't it incurable to be scratched by a medicine zombie?"

Hearing the Taoist priest and the medicine zombie, He Miaocong's memory gradually became clear, and a smiling face gradually floated to his mind.

"Years ago, on the mountain." Zhao continued to remind.

When the voice entered his ears, He Miaocong immediately realized what was going on, pointed at Zhao and exclaimed: "Zhao Zhenfushi!"

"Yes, it's me."

Getting a positive answer, he nodded repeatedly, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and his tense body relaxed.

He smiled: "It turned out to be Lord Zhao, I thought I met..."

He shut up at this point, Zhao didn't mind, and also laughed, "Bad guys, don't worry, I'm not, I'm just on a business trip, and I can't reveal my identity."

After that, he turned his head to look at the side, raised his chin to the four people from Wudang Mountain who were lying, sitting, and motionless, and asked: "Do you want to give you the antidote to wake up the brothers and sisters?"

"Thank you Lord Zhao." He Miaocong hurriedly bowed.

Zhao didn't care much, he took out a small medicine bottle from his arms and put it on the table, "One pill per person, don't take more, it's poisonous, very poisonous."

"Thank you, Lord Zhao!" He Miaocong picked up the small medicine bottle, ran over happily, and dragged the four people from Wudang Mountain to one side.

While he was feeding the medicine, Zhao picked up a knife from the ground and whistled to stab them one by one. One knife on the neck, one knife on the left and right chest, everyone did it, without exception.

The four people who woke up slowly saw this scene as soon as they opened their eyes. The other three were still able to hold it in, but the timid boy shouted directly, but fortunately He Miaocong was close and quickly reached out to cover his mouth, so that no sound was made.

Looking at Zhao with an apologetic look, He Miaocong smiled and explained: "This is my first time walking in the world, and I haven't trained my courage yet."

"It's okay." Zhao shrugged.

While finishing off the enemy, he joked: "Everyone has a first time, it will be better in the future. I still remember the first time I killed someone, I strangled him for half a quarter of an hour but he didn't die, he was still alive and kicking, luckily the man couldn't swim and had drunk alcohol, so he fell into the field and drowned."

"Hahaha, it's really... unbearable to look back on."

He Miaocong thought he was joking, so he laughed a few times and raised his hand to introduce him to the four people: "This is the Jinyiwei's pacification envoy, Lord Zhao Muzhi, not a bandit or a bad guy."

"Now he is the commander."

Hearing this, he was surprised and said, "Oh, Lord Zhao has been promoted. I am really ignorant."

"Well, it's not a promotion." Zhao took out his knife and threw it away, saying indifferently.

After sitting down leisurely, he looked up at He Miaocong and asked curiously: "Master He, you haven't answered yet, how did you survive that year?"

"Oh." He Miaocong came back to his senses and signaled the four people with his eyes to wash the blood off their bodies first, and he also found a stool to sit down.

He said gratefully: "I was already dead, but fortunately, Lord Lu had a high level of cultivation and used his true intention to seal the corpse poison, buying time for me. Then he wrote a letter to ask the four great monks of Dachengen Temple to remove the poison, so I was able to save my life."

"So that's it." Zhao nodded, and silently remembered the key information in his heart: the monks of Dachengen Temple can remove corpse poison.

He tapped the table and thought for a while, then asked: "Master He, may I ask a few more questions?"

He Miaocong didn't mind, and smiled: "Lord Zhao, there is no need to be polite, just ask. I will tell you everything I know."

Nodding, Zhao said in a deep voice: "Okay, thank you."

"I want to ask, what happened here, why are there so many warriors gathered here?"
