The Cannon Fodder Ex-Wife Dressed as a Male Protagonist

How To Find Her

More than a dozen doctors hurried in and out of the other courtyard of the prefect's mansion, entered anxiously, and came out with a sigh.

One day and one night, the nobleman's health did not improve, and the condition worsened, and the medicine and acupuncture were ineffective.

The doctors were having breakfast in the hall next door, and King Zhenbei strode in.

"I have seen the prince." Everyone stood up and saluted.

"You're welcome." King Zhenbei waved his hand and sat in his clothes, "I'm here to ask about Mr. Shen's condition." The

doctors looked at each other, and after a long moment of hesitation, an old man with a long face and white beard stood up and said truthfully: " My lord's condition is not very good. I was hit by an arrow in the stomach, and the remaining poison is not cleared, and now I am filled with grief and anger, the toxin invades the lungs, and the medicine is hard to cure." After a pause, he sighed, "The key doctor is difficult to heal Human!"

King Zhenbei understood the first few sentences, but the latter sentence was ambiguous. He asked, "How do you say this?" The

elder said frankly, "A grown-up is depressed and has a weak will to survive. If this continues, the gods will be hard to save." The

King of Zhenbei did not expect that Shen Jie, a well-known cruel official, was actually a lover. Surprised and saddened.

He thought about himself, turned his mind, and asked, "Is there a way to wake up your lord temporarily?" The

elder was puzzled, "My lord...?"

King Surong of Zhenbei said, "Tell me if there is a way." The

elder discussed with several doctors for a while , to report a policy.

Taking the needle out of the fire, piercing Renzhong, Baihui, Shixuan, Shen Jie struggled for a moment, then faintly woke up.

But he vomited another puddle of blood into the gargle.

King Zhenbei frowned when he saw it.

Shen Jie wiped his lips with a white handkerchief, and smiled calmly, "Lord Lao is worried."

King Zhenbei said, "You are about the same age as the prince, so according to your seniority, this king calls you nephew."

He looked at Shen Jie's appearance, His face was bloodless, his cheeks were thin, and his eyes were as silent as stagnant water. He had been seriously injured for dozens of days after fleeing, and he seemed to be dying.

A year ago on the emperor's birthday, he had seen Shen Jie at the palace banquet, with green pines in the snow, cold and arrogant, with his sleeves raised and eyebrows bowed, how high-spirited he was.

Now, I just sigh: Men don't flick their tears lightly, and there are love and infatuation in the world.

The king of Zhenbei made a casual statement, "This king is at your age and has a young daughter. I am deeply sorry that the princess died of postpartum hemorrhage. Later, I asked my father to guard Liangchuan, so that my daughter can often be with the princess. I can take care of the concubine's family more if I move around my mother's house more."

He persuaded: "Although you and your wife have not had children, but think about your wife's family, she will always have a wish that is gone."

Shen Jie lowered his eyes and remained silent . language.

The only thing Du Yaoyao was worried about was Cuiniang, who had mentioned this matter to the prince. Even if one day he is gone, the prince will help take care of him.

Shen Jie couldn't forgive himself. After living half of his life, he tried his best to fight for power and profit, and in the end he couldn't even protect his beloved woman, causing her to die so tragically.

People are mortal, so he should use his life to repay the guilt towards her.

King Zhenbei saw that his words were fruitless, and said again: "Mrs. was murdered. Except for you, few people really want to avenge her, and they don't have the ability. This matter is very involved. Empress Wuhuan, my nephew needs to take care of his body and kill the enemy with his hands to comfort his wife's spirit in heaven."

Shen Jie covered his mouth and coughed heavily, as if he wanted to cough up his heart, liver, gallbladder and lungs. Blood was flowing from the lips, but clusters of vengeful flames were burning in the eyes.

That's right, even if he dies, it's not too late to avenge Yaoyao first.

King Zhenbei looked at the situation and wondered if Shen Jie could survive. He pondered and relieved from the perspective of a bystander.

"I heard that Mrs. was buried alive. Is there a possibility that she was conscious in a coma and was rescued by others. When she woke up, she mistakenly thought it was you, hated you, and blamed you. The blistered female corpse we saw is not sure. It was her trick to get the golden cicada out of its shell."

Shen Jie was sober for a moment, this was really a strategy that Du Yaoyao could come up with.

The corpse has only clothes and evidence, and the body cannot be discerned at all.

Not entirely sure if she is real or fake.

"Thank you, my lord, for your reminder." Hope rose in his heart.

He wanted to find her, no matter whether he had to cross mountains and seas, dig rivers and dig land, he wanted to see people alive, and when he died... he wanted to see a corpse with all its faces.

With this determination, Shen Jie's health improved day by day. After resting in Jindu for dozens of days, he set off for Beijing.

He brought back Du Yaoyao's clothes and evidence, and left the female corpse in Jindu for the time being. Find a feng shui treasure to burial, and send officers and soldiers to guard day and night.

The injury was not healed, and the remaining poison was not cleared. After Shen Jie reported his duties to the prince, Chu Zheng ordered him to rest for three months, and sent the imperial physician to attend Shen's residence.

While he was recovering from his injuries, he just didn't bother with Yushitai's official duties, and analyzed the Jindu interception one by one.

First, through the hands of Chu Zheng, the King of Nanzhao was held accountable, and King Wuhuan was contacted.

The two small countries clarified the responsibility. Nanzhao said that Hong'e was a married princess, and what his subordinates did had nothing to do with the mother country. Wuhuan said that Honge assassinated the envoys and disturbed the peace between the two countries. The Queen's position has been abolished, and life and death are at the discretion of the Great Chu Emperor.

Shen Jie then contacted the two surrounding cities of Jiannan to investigate Ruan Hu's movements. Contact the new prefect of Jindu to dig out bandit dens.

March passed by in a hurry, the summer lotus was stained with autumn, and a pool of residual leaves was bleak.

At the beginning of October of this year, the emperor passed on to the crown prince, and he claimed to be the emperor, and moved to the royal garden on the outskirts of the city to spend his days.

The crown prince came to the throne, pardoned the world, and made his younger brother Chu De the King of Fortune, implying well-being and bestowing a fief. The vassal Shen Jie became the prime minister, commanding all officials and assisting the government. Among them, dozens of officials, large and small, were promoted and relegated, and the court was in turmoil for a while.

As the former counselor of the Eastern Palace, there is no doubt that Shen Jie is the most popular person in front of the new emperor.

The new minister asked the emperor for instructions at the end of October of the same year, and led troops to recover Jiannan, killing Ruan Hu with blood.

From spring to autumn, the Chu government issued three orders, ordering Ruan Hu to return to Beijing. Ruan Hu stayed behind on the grounds of the handover of military affairs, and assassinated the spies sent by the Chu government in the city.

It is tolerable, which is unbearable, the Chu government sent 100,000 troops to go out with Shen Jie, and together with the 100,000 army led by the Nanwang of Liangchuan Town, more than 200,000 people marched to Jiannan in a mighty manner.

Shen Jie communicated with the two cities next to Jiannan in advance, and besieged Jiannan with all the generals. Wuhuan Khan sent a lot of horses and cotton clothes to comfort the Chu army in order to show that his country had nothing to do with the traitor Ruan Hu.

Within a month or so, the city of Jiannan was broken, and the generals threw down their swords and were captured without a fight. The people opened the gates of the city to welcome them.

They don't want to follow a rebel, they believe that Da Chu is orthodox.

Ruan Hu was escorted to Beijing by King Liangchuan, and Shen Jie led the rest of the army to attack the bandits in Jindu.

Bandits are tough, but they are vulnerable to well-trained soldiers and guards.

However, in seven or eight days, the Bailai gangsters were killed and wounded. Shen Jie found out the villain who raped the woman at the beginning of June and interrogated him personally.

-In

the gloomy torture room, several people were dressed in prison clothes, kneeling in the hall trembling.

Shen Jie sat at the main seat, and slowly opened a scroll, "Have you seen this woman?"

His voice was deep and cold, as if wrapped in winter wind and snow.

Several people shivered and slowly raised their heads.

The painting depicts a woman in purple clothes and black hair, with small facial features and a pair of big eyes that are delicate and lively, as if she can talk. The temperament is like lotus and peach, pure and beautiful.

The bandits have lived in the remote areas for a long time, so how can they see such a stunning beauty, and the painters put their heart into depicting it, they were so amazed that they couldn't take their eyes off, and were stunned.

"Have you seen it?" Shen Jie angrily closed the painting and asked sharply.

"No, no, no..." They all shook their heads.

Shen Jie didn't quite believe it, and was worried that they would collude in advance and make a conspiracy. Winking to the left and right, an officer stepped forward and held down one of them, while the other held a red-hot iron and scalded the bandit's chest fiercely.

"Ah—" The bandit let out only half a scream from his throat, and his mouth was tightly stuffed with a cloth ball.

The ear-piercing sound of "Zi Zi" passed, and the air was filled with the smell of roasted meat.

The others curled up and trembled in fright, and there was a timid one whose crotch was overflowing with wetness.

"Tell me about the process of committing the crime against that woman on June 3rd this year." Shen Jie knocked on the table without changing his expression.

His attitude is obvious, if anyone speaks false words, they will all be branded with an iron.

"Master, villain, villain, I have never seen such a beautiful girl..." One person kowtowed in panic. "That's right," one person continued, "The girl we met

was a peasant girl who went up the mountain to cut pigweed.

If you dare to do it, at most, tie it up and give it to the elder brother to enjoy." One person said the rules of the bandit den. The elder brother pointed to the bandit leader.

"That peasant girl was a virgin, with a strong temper, profuse blood, screaming and struggling, and the brothers covered her mouth and nose, and accidentally smothered her to death. We ran away before we were done. We really didn't do anything to throw the body into the water. ..." One person reasoned clearly.

Shen Jie considered the truth and falsehood of several people's words.

He raised his sleeves as a gesture, and the officers and soldiers stamped an iron brand on the belly of the captured bandit. The man convulsed in pain, and feces and urine flowed profusely.

The crowd was frightened and wept bitterly and kowtowed.

"My lord, you little ones are telling the truth..."

"My little man, I have never seen the girl in your painting..."

"The girl we raped is from Xujia Village. If you don't believe me, you can find her parents and ask her ." Ask..."

Amidst the chatter, Shen Jie locked on the place name "Xujia Village" and decided to find out.

He really suspected that Du Yaoyao had someone to help him escape the shell.

There was heavy snow in the sky, and a group of troops entered Xujia Village neatly and solemnly, and surrounded a small farmyard.

"Old man, someone is knocking on the door, go and have a look!"

Xu Jiao, the woman who was killed by bandits, shouted from her mother in the kitchen.

Father Xu walked out of the house, and when he opened the door, he was stunned.

Outside, a group of yamen servants surrounded a tall and tall man. He was wearing a black cloak, with a stern and dignified face.

It is estimated that it is a high official.

Xu's father bowed, and said cautiously: "May I ask you military lords, what's the important thing for you to come to the door?"

A small official stepped forward, "Are you Xu Jiao's father?"

"It's the little old man." Xu's father said respectfully.

At this time, Mother Xu also came out.

The two asked Shen Jie to be admitted to the hospital. Shen Jie took out a scroll from his sleeve, unfolded

it, and asked, "Have you two seen this lady?"

.

Xu's father and Xu's mother had never met Du Yaoyao, and the Dashan family said that there was a way to avenge Xu Jiao by using Xu Jiao's body. Bandits have been tyrannical for many years, the local government turned a blind eye, and the elders also had the mentality of giving it a try.

People cannot be resurrected after death. If this method can take revenge and eradicate the bandits, Xu's father and Xu's mother are willing to sacrifice their daughter's body.

But now that the senior official came, the two elders speculated that the painting of his wife might have something to do with the Dashan family.

In recent months, the news that Mrs. Yushi was killed by bandits has spread widely.

Therefore, the imperial court personally sent troops to suppress the bandits.

The daughter may have replaced Mrs. Yushi's body.

The real Mrs. Yushi...?

Xu's father and Xu's mother did not want to cause more troubles for the Dashan family, and there was no evidence that they were involved in this matter. Blankly replied: "I haven't seen it, I haven't seen it..."

Shen Jieguan and the others looked at the portrait with strange eyes, as if they were amazed by Du Yaoyao's beauty, but there was a trace of hesitation in their expressions, as if they knew something.

He probed, "Someone has accused you two of stealing the day and using Xu Jiao's body to pass off the body of Mrs. Yushi. Is there such a thing?

" Both of us have a hundred guts, we don't dare..."

Mother Xu even wiped away her tears, sobbing, "If your lord doesn't believe me, just go to the cemetery in the back mountain with the old woman, open the coffin for an autopsy, and our Jiaojiao will lie down in peace. It's inside..." The

other party's attitude was so determined that Shen Jie was momentarily apprehensive.

He has no parents, but he knows that it is not easy for a white-haired person to send a black-haired person. Her daughter died for a few months, and someone had to dig her grave for inspection. To the old man, it was really unreasonable.

Thinking of so many nights of insomnia, thinking of scratching his heart and liver again and again from the guilt, he forced himself to be calm, "Then open the coffin!"

Xu Jiao's grave is a small dirt bag that is common in the countryside, and several officers and soldiers are busy. Except for two digging, and work together to remove the coffin lid.

The corpse inside was so decomposed that it was beyond human shape, and the skin and flesh fell off under the shroud, leaving only bones and skeletons, and a stench of stench spread in all directions.

Xu's mother let out a "wow" and cried bitterly while hugging the tombstone.

Father Xu sat paralyzed next to her, wiping his old tears with his hands.

Shen Jie felt the same way, his eye circles were red, he turned his face sideways, and motioned for him to do an autopsy.

Cover the mouth and nose, and check the woman's bone age and the integrity of the inside and outside of the bone.

After some operations, he reported, "Fang was nineteen, and died from trauma."

Du Yaoyao was also nineteen years old, and Shen Jie stared at the bones in the coffin.

He had a bold suspicion that Xu's father and Xu's mother picked up Du Yaoyao who was dying of serious illness or had died, and they exchanged Du Yaoyao's and Xu Jiao's clothes.

Du Yaoyao has delicate skin, which is not something that a poor family can raise. Such an identity, suspected of rape, murder, and falling into the water, will definitely cause an uproar, and the Jindu government naturally attaches great importance to it.

If the blistered female corpse was Xu Jiao, then the one in this coffin...was Yaoyao?

Shen Jie suddenly couldn't breathe, and had a dull chest pain.

He took two steps towards the coffin.

Xu's mother staggered and stopped him like a beast guarding her cubs, crying, "The grave has been dug up, and the coffin has been opened. You just killed our old couple today. We really haven't seen your wife... Please." You are gone, let my Jiaojiao rest in peace..."

Shen Jie suddenly woke up. Could it be that he was worrying too much? In fact, Du Yaoyao was humiliated and then killed by others, and had nothing to do with the bandits and Xu Jiao.

is she really dead?

Or which woman did she attach her soul to again?

Shen Jie was hopeless, there was a huge crowd, how could he find her?
