Chapter 744

~5 min read 915 words

Suddenly, a hand reached in from outside the prison cart.

In that hand was a goatskin water bag.

Wang Yun followed the water bag and looked.

It was a hand full of mud and many scars.

The scars on the hand extended to the arm, revealing from the worn-out sleeve, as if they were scars left after being whipped.

The owner of the hand was a girl, about twelve or thirteen years old.

"Here, drink," the girl said.

Wang Yun's eyes were stunned.

Then he smiled miserably.

He was the dignified Inspector of Yuzhou, the head of the Taiyuan Wang clan.

When did he fall to the point of needing help from a little beggar?

But Wang Yun still tremblingly reached out and grabbed the water bag.

Seeming to be afraid of being ordered by Zuo Feng to snatch it away, Wang Yun grabbed the water bag, unscrewed the lid, and began to pour it into his throat in large gulps.

"Eunuch."

The Imperial Guard standing next to Zuo Feng saw this scene and reminded Zuo Feng.

Zuo Feng waved his hand: "Forget it, let him drink, we are about to arrive in Luoyang."

Gulp.

Gulp!

Wang Yun greedily poured the water in the water bag into his throat in large gulps.

The girl who gave Wang Yun the water bag lay on the edge of the prison cart, looking at Wang Yun drinking water, and showed a smile.

"My lord... is it good?" the girl asked with a smile.

My lord?

Wang Yun was stunned.

Is she calling me?

After drinking all the water in the water bag, Wang Yun put down the water bag and wiped his mouth with his sleeve.

The girl smiled, took the water bag, and then hopped away toward the distance.

The little beggars around also scattered.

The hopping girl sang while jumping.

"There is a mountain to the north..."

"There are parents in the mountain..."

"Parents gave birth to me without a name..."

"Parents gave birth to me without a surname..."

Not long after.

Zuo Feng, who had rested enough, stood up and ordered the team to continue moving forward.

Wang Yun in the prison cart seemed to have fallen asleep.

Zuo Feng covered his nose and mouth with a silk cloth and came to the prison cart.

"Wang..."

Zuo Feng was just about to call Wang Yun's name when he found that Wang Yun in the prison cart was leaning against the railing of the prison cart, and blood was seeping out from Wang Yun's mouth, nose, corners of his eyes, and ears.

Zuo Feng was startled when he saw this scene.

"Quick, quick, take him out and see if he is dead," Zuo Feng pointed at Wang Yun in the middle.

Dead.

Dead through and through.

When Wang Yun's body was pulled out of the prison cart, he was already dead beyond death.

Nangong, Jiade Hall.

"Huangfusong!"

Zhang Rang roared, his eyes bloodshot, looking like a mad dog.

Zhao Zhong, who was standing on the side, was startled.

"Lord Zhang, Lord Zhang, what happened?" Zhao Zhong asked, frightened and standing up.

Zhang Rang was clutching the memorial that had just been sent from the Secretariat.

It was clearly written on it that after Yingyin City was broken, the Army Sima Huangfu Li led his soldiers to break into his old residence in Yingyin and looted money and grain inside.

Although it was discovered and stopped by Duan Yu.

But the residence had already been looted clean.

When Zhao Zhong saw the memorial in Zhang Rang's hand, he was immediately scared into a cold sweat.

Zhao Zhong's hometown was in Anping Kingdom, Jizhou; could it also have been looted clean?

"Huangfusong, I want him dead, I want him dead."

Zhang Rang was crazy.

In that old residence in Yingyin, there were billions of family wealth stored over the past ten years.

Now it had actually been looted clean.

The memorial said it was looted by the Yellow Turban rebels.

But how could Zhang Rang believe this?

"Then... what about Duan Yu?" Zhao Zhong asked hurriedly: "Isn't Duan Yu also in Yingchuan?"

"Didn't he stop Huangfu Li?" Zhao Zhong held the memorial and looked at Zhang Rang.

Zhang Rang took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, and said: "Duan Yu said that when he discovered it, it was already too late, and the residence had basically been looted clean."

"He also didn't know whether Huangfu Li had sent the money and grain out."

"But after he went there later, my residence was re-sealed, and some of it was saved."

"Duan Yu... is still a kind person."

"No, I must immediately report to the Son of Heaven and have that Huangfu Li and Huangfusong, uncle and nephew, cut into a thousand pieces!" Zhang Rang said, gritting his teeth.

Zhao Zhong on the side was also anxious.

"Lord Zhang, Lord Zhang, wait a moment, you say... you say is it possible that this matter has something to do with Yuan Kui?"

"Was it instigated by Yuan Kui?" Zhao Zhong asked.

Zhang Rang narrowed his eyes and nodded: "It is highly likely that it has something to do with that old dog Yuan Kui."

Zhao Zhong's heart went cold.

Jizhou was the base camp of the Yellow Turban rebels.

His hometown was still in Anping Kingdom.

In case...

In case his hometown was also looted by the 'Yellow Turban rebels', what should he do?

Zhao Zhong's eyeballs rolled around in anxiety.
