Chapter 715: Innocent Killed

In the carriage back home, Yan Mu and Tuoba Feier didn't like each other, and they stabbed each other from time to time.

"If I hadn't brought you back from Beijin to Zhenbei, you would have been stupidly waiting for Changning in that ruined temple. Maybe you would have been taken to the desert west of Xiyue by now. Then you would cry.

, I can’t find home even if I cry!” Tuoba Feier said with her hands on her waist.

Yan Mu snorted, "You still have the nerve to say that you said you would take me to find my wife. Well, I believe you and I will go with you. In the end, it doesn't matter if you don't have to pay any money all the way from Beijin to Zhenbei.

You did it, and you ate too much. I performed arts all day long to make money to support you. Once, you went to the most expensive local restaurant for a meal, and I was almost detained to pay your bill!"

Tuoba Feier curled her lips and said, "I will lead you and you will provide me with food and drink. This is only fair!"

"Oh, you still turned around. If I hadn't asked someone along the way, you could have taken me to the East China Sea!"

"Well, then we are not at the north of the town."

"Yes, we made a big circle and you lost yourself. I came to Zhenbei alone last."

Tuoba Feier touched her nose and couldn't blame her for not being able to tell the direction. "Anyway, you are back with Sister Liu now. This is my credit."

Yan Mu snorted and was too lazy to argue with Tuoba Fei'er. He whispered to Liu Yunxiang: "Stay away from her, don't be infected by her stupid energy."

"Yan Mu!"

Tuoba Feier was so angry that she was about to roll up her sleeves. Liu Yunxiang tried to persuade her in a funny way, but then the carriage suddenly stopped and she couldn't help but fall forward.

"Sister Liu!"

"Yunxiang!"

At this time, Yan Mu and Tuoba Feier had a surprisingly tacit understanding, supporting Liu Yunxiang on the left and right.

Liu Yunxiang sat back, patted his heart, turned his head and asked outside: "Zijin, what happened?"

Zijin replied: "It seems that the people from the Army and Horses Division of the five cities in front are cleaning up corpses and blocking the road."

Yan Mu opened the car curtain and looked outside. Because it was the Qianqiu Festival, the streets were decorated with lights and colorful decorations. In previous years, the streets would have been lively and bustling with pedestrians, but now there were no pedestrians on the streets. There were officers and soldiers everywhere, and it was very lively.

It became Xiao Sha.

"Let's take a detour." Yan Mu said.

Zijin responded, turned the horse's head and entered the alley on one side, but before going very far, the carriage stopped again. Liu Yunxiang heard bursts of heart-wrenching cries, she frowned, opened the curtain and went out

Look, from this angle you can only see a lot of people gathered in front of you, but you can't see anyone crying.

"Let's go down and have a look," she said.

In such a narrow alley, it is easy to enter but difficult to exit, so let the people in front of you disperse.

Liu Yunxiang, Yan Mu and Tuoba Feier got off the carriage and walked around to the front. The crying sounds became more real. You could also hear that they were two people crying, a man and a woman, who were in grief.

Neighbors surrounded them. Fortunately, there were not many people. Liu Yunxiang and the others squeezed forward and saw this scene. A middle-aged man with white hair was holding a young man, and the young man had an arrow stuck in his chest.

, with a dead look on his face, obviously

There was no breath left. The middle-aged man was crying and beating the ground, and his hands were covered with blood. A woman next to him was lying on the ground, crying hard, calling for her son. She was crying so hard that she couldn't breathe.

His whole body was twitching.

Judging from this scene, it seems that the son of this middle-aged couple is dead, but there is an arrow stuck in his chest, and it is obvious at a glance that this arrow is uniformly distributed by the government.

This is a bit strange!

"Auntie, what's going on?" Tuoba Feier couldn't help but curiously asked the aunt next to her.

The aunt must have known this family, and her eyes were red from crying, "It's really a disaster. After dinner, his son said he was going to watch a sideshow on the street. I saw him, and he called me "aunt" and then jumped up.

He jumped and ran out of the alley. What a good boy, but he went out for a while, and when he came back there was an arrow stuck in his body. He finally ran to the door of the house but fell down. Before he could call the doctor, he was gone."

"Tonight, during the Qianqiu Festival, the streets were very lively. My son also went out and ran back shortly after. He said that many officers and soldiers came to arrest assassins or something."

"I was there at the time, and we didn't know where the assassin was. Anyway, the arrows were shooting randomly, and many people suffered."

Hearing this, Liu Yunxiang turned to Yan Mu and said, "Even if you want to catch the assassin, you should first ensure the safety of the people. Such a rush of shooting arrows is not to hurt the wrong person. This Qin Fei is very eager to perform his merits, and his methods are sinister enough."

"So he captured all the assassins as quickly as possible without missing a single one."

"It's more than just how many innocent lives were hurt."

"In order to catch the assassin, and the one who assassinated the emperor, even if a few people were killed, the emperor would not hold him accountable, and other ministers would not dare to say anything even if they knew about it."

Liu Yunxiang sighed. If he was killed by someone else, he could still seek justice, but if he was killed by someone from the government, where could he seek justice?

Can't afford it.

"Some officers and soldiers came over just now, and they actually said that this kid was also an assassin. If we hadn't stopped him, they would have snatched the body away." A man said angrily.

"No, they are blind. We are all ordinary people. How could we become assassins?"

"Look, this arrow may not have been a mistake, or it may have been that the child was really taken as an assassin and was shot specifically."

The two men said a few words, and the women at home quickly stopped them and told them to stop talking nonsense.

At this time, the man holding the boy cried out: "Son, you died unjustly. How should dad get justice for you?"

"Mom, go and sue the officials, even if you risk your life!" the woman also cried and shouted.

I'm afraid it will be futile to complain to the officials.

The carriage was blocked here and couldn't get through for a while. Fortunately, it was not far from the palace, and it only took a quarter of an hour to walk. The alley was too dark, so after going around in a circle, they returned to the street.

The streets were decorated with lanterns, but there was no one there. Yan Mu held Liu Yunxiang in his arms, and Tuoba Fei'er and Zijin walked forward happily, jumping up from time to time to touch the lanterns.

Occasionally, a group of officers and soldiers from the Five Cities Military and Horse Division would run past in formation, which would destroy the tranquility of the night.

"The inner city is guarded by the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division. Qin Fei's goal has been achieved."

Yan Mu snorted, "He is as scheming and evil as ever, and I'm not surprised at all. It's just that Lu Changan, who looks like a modest gentleman on the surface, but keeps making tricks behind the scenes, is such a talent.

horrible."

Speaking of Lu Changan, Liu Yunxiang couldn't help but look at Tuoba Feier, "I didn't expect him to become like this."

And Murong Lingyi, with her temperament, she would definitely not let it go after learning about the marriage granted by the emperor.

"By the way, there is one more thing." Liu Yunxiang was silent for a moment, then said: "Wasn't Mrs. Wuchang Hou poisoned to death by the maid next to Murong Lingyi? I suspect that this maid is Lu Changan's person, and he ordered her to be poisoned.

Mrs. Hou’s.”

Yan Mu nodded, "I think so too."

"Do you want to tell Xue Changfeng?"

"Didn't you ask him to check whether the mountainous land in Weizhou was given to the northwest? Wait a moment."
