She's always been on the road lately, so when she wakes up, she's always confused and doesn't know where she is.
After rubbing her head, she remembered what happened yesterday.
"Master, what's wrong with you?"
Bai Su came in with a basin of hot water. Seeing that she was in a daze, he couldn't help but ask.
Shaking his head, yesterday's events came back to his mind again.
"Nothing. By the way, have the people who were sent out to follow Chen Lu and the others received any news?"
Chen Lu was just the captain of a small patrol. If there was no protective umbrella above him, how could he be so bold?
Looking at their confident looks, I am afraid that this matter has something to do with the Gong family.
He frowned slightly, the Gong family today is completely different from before.
But who is it that is so brave?
She must investigate this matter thoroughly and must not let her previous efforts be ruined.
"The person who was sent out said that Chen Lu went out to meet a person yesterday evening and gave the person something."
"But our banknotes?"
"All I know is that it's a sandalwood makeup box, and it looks like it's quite valuable."
Makeup box?
This is a bit strange.
Even some antique calligraphy and paintings are much more valuable than a makeup box.
"Didn't you hide the banknotes inside?"
She thought for a moment and shook her head.
If you do this, it will be more conspicuous.
"Continue to follow and thoroughly investigate this person's details to see who he will give this thing to in the end."
"yes."
According to what the group of people said, Chen Lu did it several times within a few months, which shows that he is becoming more and more courageous.
But there is no way to let it go like this. If they arrest Chen Lu now, they are afraid that it will arouse the suspicion of the people behind the scenes.
After thinking about it, she suddenly thought of someone.
"Bai Su, go and invite someone over for me."
"who?"
"Gong Xun."
Outside one of the most inconspicuous teahouses in the city, Gong Xun looked puzzled and looked at the woman who invited him over from time to time.
"Girl, I still have official duties to attend to. If nothing goes wrong, I'll leave first."
This girl was so strange. She clearly said she had something very important to tell him, but after bringing him here, she remained silent.
He wanted to leave several times, but the girl just stood at the door blocking him and refused to give in.
Gradually, he also lost his patience.
"Girl, stop messing around!"
"Mr. Gong, I'm sorry, I'm late."
Lin Mengya walked in with a somewhat elegant smile.
Gong Xun looked at the girl in front of him and was slightly startled.
"you no--"
"Yes, that's right, right down there."
"I heard from Chen Lu that it has been confirmed that it was not you who set the fire. It seems that he is true to his word."
Hearing this, Lin Mengya sneered.
After she entered, Bai Su took the initiative to guard outside. There were only two of them in the wing.
"Brother Gong, the reason why we were able to regain our freedom is that our three lives should not have been cut off. It has nothing to do with that Chen Lu."
"What do you mean?"
She glanced at Gong Xun and said coldly.
"Brother Gong, does he know how many lives have been lost at the hands of Chen Lu?"
Gong Xun stared at her and lowered his head. She told Gong Xun the information she had collected without haste.
"How is this possible? Chen Lu is selfish and willful, but he would never dare to do such a sinful thing!"
"Why not?" She curled her lips and smiled extremely sarcastically. "I have personal experience. If Brother Gong doesn't believe it, you can check it out yourself."
Gong Xun was a little excited and stood up, glaring at her angrily.
"My brother from the patrol team will never be like what you said! I will ask Chen Lu now. If you have wronged him for all this, I will never let you off lightly!"
She smiled and leaned lazily on the chair, but the words that came out of her mouth stopped Gong Xun in his tracks.
"If you ask now, it's strange that he can admit it. Gong Xun, it turns out that you are just a person who bends the law for personal gain. It seems that those undead souls who died before died in vain after all!"
She stood up, bumped him away unceremoniously and left.
"If you still have a little bit of conscience, just watch Chen Lu carefully to prevent any more innocent people from being murdered by him."
Gong Xun froze on the spot, with a complicated look in his eyes.
Coming out of the teahouse, Lin Mengya looked behind her thoughtfully.
After all, the man didn't chase him out immediately. It seemed that there was some doubt in his heart.
People in the Gong family are smart, but sometimes they are too straightforward and honest.
Judging from the current situation, this is not a good thing.
"master."
Bai Su followed her step by step.
She asked the other party what was wrong with her eyes. Bai Su looked around to make sure there was no one around before speaking.
"Our people reported back that someone did set the fire that night, and that the arsonist is in the city now."
The fire was strange, but she didn't think Chen Lu had the guts to do such a thing.
After all, the reason why they poisoned the situation and found someone to put an end to it was because they didn't want to make the matter a big deal.
But arson
It is unlikely that the patrol will let it go lightly.
So she guessed that Chen Lu was framed, so he knew better than anyone else that Qinghu was not the mastermind of the arson.
"Let's go and have a look."
According to Bai Su's information, the arsonist should be in the south of the city.
When the two of them arrived, they saw a scene almost like a refugee camp.
Countless poor people live here, and the air is filled with a foul smell.
She frowned and really couldn't figure out why there was such a place in the city.
According to the character of Big Brother and others, it is impossible to ignore them.
"Sister, please, save my mother!" .??.
Suddenly, a little girl in ragged clothes hugged her thigh and cried and begged.
She lowered her head, looked into those longing eyes, and couldn't bear to refuse.
"Don't cry first, tell sister, what happened to your mother?"
She knelt down and wiped the little girl's face with her clean sleeves.
"My mother is sick, right over there."
The little girl timidly pointed to an alley next to her. It was important to save people. She didn't think too much and let the little girl lead the way.
Unexpectedly, the little girl ran into the alley and disappeared.
Then, a few strong and arrogant men popped out.
"Hehe, I really got two good ones today!"
Those people looked at the two of them up and down obscenely, with completely malicious eyes.
Only then did she realize that the little girl was the bait for fishing.
The anger in my heart became deeper and deeper.
She had just returned to Beiling and already encountered so many problems.
If this continues, the Gong family's reputation will be completely ruined by them!
"Brother, these two should be able to be sold for a lot of money! Look at the thin skin and tender meat, that damn girl is really capable!"
She knew the current situation very well.
Listening to the nasty words they said, Bai Su's heart boiled with anger.
Just when he was thinking about going up and teaching those gangsters a lesson, he heard a cold shout coming from behind them.
"Let them go!"
Following the sound, she subconsciously looked back.
I saw a young man in civilian clothes standing at the entrance of the alley.
The man's brows were as deep as a knife and an axe, and his angular face was filled with a look of solemnity.
She held Bai Su's hand, and it seemed that the hero had arrived to save the beauty.
"It's you little bastard again! I'm warning you, mind your own business!"
Several gangsters on the opposite side threatened the young man in front of him fiercely, but the young man remained unmoved and pulled out the steel knife he had been holding in his hand.
"Hahahaha, holding a rusty broken knife to show off one's power, look Last time, I still didn’t teach you to behave!”
Several gangsters sneered at the young man, and at the same time, they also took out their weapons.
Lin Mengya's eyes flashed when she saw the dagger they were holding.
It seemed to be the same thing that the thief who attacked them had when they first entered the city!
Before I had time to think too much, there was already a fight over there.
She pulled Bai Su and stood close to the wall, for fear of being affected.
The young man's martial arts is not low, but he seems to be lacking some strength.
Seeing that his face was getting paler and it was becoming more difficult to resist those people, he was probably trying to show off his strength.
"Bai Su, help."
Bai Su nodded and immediately went up to fight.
With her help, the young man suddenly felt less stressed.
Those gangsters probably didn't expect that a little girl who looked so weak could show such power.
After several rounds, they couldn't get any advantage, and they were afraid of risking their lives, so they started to think about quitting.
"What bad luck! Just wait and see!"
Several people fought and retreated, but one of them turned his eyes and stared at her next to him.
Suddenly jumped out and ran straight towards her.
"careful!"
The young man shouted loudly and rushed towards her quickly, blocking in front of her.
When the man's plan failed, he became angry and thrust the dagger into the young man's chest.
Bai Su fended off the crowd, but was a step too late.
There was only a "puff" sound, and the dagger penetrated more than half an inch deep.
"Damn it!"
Bai Su became angry and took the opponent's head mercilessly with his long sword.
Those few people saw their brothers being killed, but they stepped up their efforts to escape.
After such a delay, he fled in all directions.
"Hurry, he's injured!"
Lin Mengya felt a little guilty.
In fact, she has been alert for a long time. Since arriving here, her dark crossbow has never left her body.
However, she really felt bad that people had been innocently victimized because of her.
"I'm fine."
The young man swayed, leaned against the wall and walked out, dragging the rusty steel knife in his hand.
"What's okay? Bai Su, help me get him to our carriage."
Qinghu was left at home to protect Axiu. Originally, these people were no match for Bai Su, but this young man who jumped out of nowhere was really unlucky.
"Need not"
The young man waved his hand, still speaking harshly.
But Lin Mengya was anxious.
"No need, no need. If you want to die, you can't die in front of me."
"I"
"Shut up! Follow me! Big man, there is so much nonsense!"
