The Great Seminary

Chapter 132 All Dead (Part )

In the lobby of the old village government office in Zhihai Town.

Lu Zhenduan stood aside and watched with his own eyes as the doctor with white hair and a youthful face used a silver chopstick to pry open Zhao Fucheng's mouth.

He drank a whole gourd of Shengmai Drink.

The strong bitter smell of ginseng soup filled the hall.

But after taking such a strong dose of medicine, there was not even a rumbling sound in Zhao Fucheng's stomach, so he knew that the person was dead.

Sure enough, the old doctor sighed and shook his head, then gave the patient a few more injections as a last resort, and then he raised his head.

"Lü Zaicheng, this Captain Zhao lost his spirit and has passed away."

"Doctor, I wonder what caused Captain Zhao's death?"

"Captain Zhao died from the collapse of blood and qi in his head.

This disease is mostly a sudden death disease that only occurs in the elderly.

Young and middle-aged people who drink alcohol regularly may also get it occasionally.

However, it is often milder and is called "wind phlegm".

As for warriors, if they get hurt in the head while fighting with others, they may die.

Or maybe the technique is to temper the power of Qi and blood, and when you use your luck you go astray and become possessed..."

Maybe it’s because the deceased was an official.

The old doctor described the possible causes of Zhao Fucheng's death in great detail, trying hard to get rid of the suspicion that he was not a skilled doctor and had killed someone.

Lu Zhenduan listened quietly, and not only did he not make things difficult for the old doctor, he also paid for the medicine in a proper manner.

Regardless of the reason, it is not easy to continue discussing matters after watching someone die.

Except for Lu Zhenduan who was still sitting in the lobby, everyone else had sad faces and was busy with Zhao Fucheng's funeral.

Among them, two went to report the death.

One of them was called Jin Shanliang, who, like the deceased Zhao Fucheng, was also a captain in command of the Dragon and Tiger Shogunate.

The other one was called Qian Wanbao, whose official position was lower, just a hundred guards.

Like Zhao Fucheng, they all got to their positions through Zhang Gui's promotion and their own efforts.

It was precisely because of the second point that the three of them immediately betrayed their former master after Zhang Gui disappeared and became Lu Zhenduan's lackeys.

Walking on the steaming hot training ground in Zhihai Town.

Jinshanliang remained silent.

Qian Wanbao seemed a little uneasy, and suddenly said:

"Second Brother Jin, do you think Boss Zhao's death was really an accident?"

"What else could it be if not an accident?"

Jin Shanliang came to his senses and asked curiously.

“I can’t really explain it, but Boss Zhao has already entered the Dao, so why is he discussing things in the lobby?

He died suddenly and inexplicably.

Now I remember him treating us to a meal and our sworn brotherhood ceremony as if it were right before my eyes."

Jin Shanliang said nothing when he heard this, but a hint of joy rose in his heart.

These officers of the Dragon and Tiger Shogunate who betrayed Zhang Gui and defected to Lu Zhenduan had similar positions and were all labeled "traitors".

No matter how many excuses you find, you will be criticized for the rest of your life.

So whether it was because they had similar interests or just wanted to keep each other warm, they soon got together and became sworn brothers.

Zhao Fucheng and Jin Shanliang, both with the rank of captain, are the eldest and second in command of this group of "brothers".

Zhao Fucheng was older and was the first pioneer to join Lu Zhenduan. He was also the first to propose the idea of ​​sworn brotherhood and sharing honor and disgrace with each other, so he became the boss.

It pressed down one end of Jinshanliang.

But now that the eldest brother is dead, the second brother has the opportunity to become the "big brother".

After thinking about it, Jin Shanliang's voice softened.
"Little brother, don't think too much, the important thing now is to send Big Brother away.

If we brothers bow our heads to the ground together, we are like brothers from the same mother.

My eldest brother is gone but I am still here.

So, I'll take a hundred taels of silver as a 'free gift' from our group of brothers.

Go run some errands tonight and get all the brothers to come to my house. Let's discuss what to do next."

Qian Wanbao had never heard Jin Shanliang call him "little brother" so affectionately without mentioning his surname since the day they became sworn brothers, and he was stunned for a moment.

But he was speaking with proper etiquette, took the money on his own initiative, and there was nothing wrong with his words and behavior.

Although it was strange, he could only nod and agree.

At this time, the two had already arrived at Zhao Fucheng's door.

Qian Wanbao stepped forward, grabbed the copper ring on the door, and knocked it a few times.

Seeing no response, he had to knock on the door even harder.

Jin Shanliang, who was standing behind him, was delighted to see Qian Wanbao agree to invite people for him. He began to imagine what he would do in the evening when facing those invited 'brothers'.
What should I say to convince them and make them my helpers?

Hun didn't notice that Qian Wanbao was banging on the door with increasing force.

The vibration caused both wooden doors to shake.

The force hit the old door frame, causing half of the eaves to suddenly collapse and hit Qian Wanbao on the head.

Suddenly another dead body fell to the ground.

Zhang Gui, who was in the distance, watched this scene quietly, then turned around and floated away.

I wandered to the pier, found a random restaurant, and ordered a table of four cold dishes and eight hot dishes.

Eat and drink leisurely.

As the ancients said, Qin Hui had three confidants.

What's more, his kindness to the officers and soldiers under him was not as heavy as a mountain, but it was definitely deep and sincere.

After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.

Then, generals from the Dragon and Tiger Shogunate who were unwilling to betray their old master came looking for him.

The leader was a short and burly man with a big nose, a big face, bulging eyelids and a stupid look.

Seeing Zhang Gui, he calmly took a few steps forward, knelt on the ground and reported in a low voice:

"Longhu, our inheritance and wealth have all been taken away by King Zhen!
There are also some older traitors, and Zhao Fucheng was once highly regarded by you..."

"Alright, Ding Chengqi, Zhao Fucheng is a dead man, why are you still mentioning him?"

The short and ugly Ding Chengqi is the successor trained by Li Yunbo, the former prime minister of the Dragon and Tiger Shogunate.

It is said that the more strange the appearance, the more talented he is.

But before, in Zhang Gui's opinion, his talent was just that.

And it seems that because he is ugly and feels resentful, Ding Chengqi always looks at his good-looking peers differently.

It makes people even less willing to take it seriously.

But now, because of one of his strengths, his loyalty, Zhang Gui had to look at him with new eyes.

"What are you standing there for? Why don't you get up from the ground?"

"Long Hu, I saw Zhao Fucheng at noon..."

“This is Zhihai Town, my fiefdom.

If I let someone die at three o'clock in the morning, who can keep him alive until five o'clock?

I thought you knew I was back by now, and I've been looking for me everywhere, but I haven't heard from you.

Zhao Fucheng is dead, Jin Shanliang and Qian Wanbao are also dead."

Zhang Gui smiled faintly and said leisurely:

"I heard that there were more than a dozen of them who followed Lu Zhenduan, and they became 'sworn brothers' with each other.

This is really great.

We all 'don't ask to be born on the same day, month and year, but we ask to die on the same day, month and year', and that's what we all want."

Ding Chengqi was proud of his ability to judge people, and although he was convinced of Zhang Gui's character and temperament, he was loyal to him.

But there is also something that I am not satisfied with about him, that is, he is unwilling to "be close to gentlemen and stay away from villains."

People like Zhao Fucheng and Jin Shanliang, who had long seen themselves as worthless, were all demoted.

But now Ding Chengqi discovered that it was not just Longhu who failed to see his extraordinary qualities.

In fact, my understanding of dragons and tigers is just a glimpse of the whole picture.
