The girl's eyes were calm and bright, looking at the distant cart without blinking.
Zhan Ning and others also stopped and looked at the truck in confusion.
The porter who was pushing the trolley was frightened by their posture, and gradually became unable to walk, and stopped in fear.
Er Tou San cursed him inwardly.
Okay, stop what you are doing!
As soon as this idea came to his mind, he saw the girl lightly falling off the horse and walking towards them.
The porter was very nervous, sweating and said: "This, this eldest lady."
As soon as Xia Zhaoyi landed, Zhan Ning and Liang Dechang behind her also landed immediately, following behind her.
Xia Zhaoyi raised his hand and tapped his finger bones on a wine jar.
The porter pushing the trolley didn't know what she was doing, but the men on the left and right sides of the trolley secretly clenched their fists.
A few people quietly looked at the leader, Er Tou San.
Er Tou San looked at them calmly and winked secretly.
There were not as many of them as the other party, and they were not as big or as strong as the other party, but the other party had a woman, and judging from the way they treated her, this woman was of high status.
If it really comes to the moment of taking action, we can only strike preemptively and attack this woman first.
Zhan Ning and Liang Dechang paused slightly, looking at the men who were looking at Er Tou San from the corners of their eyes.
They are all elite scouts of the Xia Family Army. Their ability to judge the environment and detect any disturbance has been deeply rooted in their bones and has become an instinctive reaction.
Xia Zhaoyi has already reached the third one.
The slender fingers tapped lightly, and the phalanges made a crisp echo on the aged wine jar.
She stepped back and said, "Lift this."
As soon as she finished speaking, the two men closest to her immediately pounced on them, each with a sharp dagger in their hands, targeting Liang Dechang and Zhan Ning.
Er Tousan and the other men rushed over quickly to grab the girl next to the cart.
The winner will be decided in an instant.
Er Tousan didn't even see clearly how the girl took action. The two men running in front of him had already fallen down. Immediately after, he heard a strange snapping sound from the bones of his wrist. At the same time, severe pain came from the girl.
As soon as he raised his hand, his whole arm was twisted behind his back.
With a "bang", Er Tou San was forced to hit the wine jar of the cart. His front teeth hit the top of the wine lid and broke on the spot.
The severe pain caused by the broken teeth was even more terrible than his arm. His vision went dark and he almost fainted.
Soldiers came one after another, and those men who saw that the situation was not good and tried to escape were all caught and escorted back.
Zhan Ning grabbed the two heads and said: "Who are you!"
My dichotomy was so painful that I burst into tears and was speechless.
Several soldiers climbed up and opened the lid of the wine designated by Xia Zhaoyi.
Under the dim light, when they saw the contents of the wine jar, several soldiers were shocked: "Second Miss! It's a corpse!"
"Female corpse!"
"Looks very young!"
The porter pushing the trolley was frightened and fell to the ground: "It's none of my business! I don't know, I don't know anything!"
Xia Zhaoyi said in a deep voice: "Move out."
"yes!"
"Open all the wine jars," Xia Zhaoyi said to the other soldiers, then looked at the coachmen on the ground, "Tell these coachmen to avoid them, and all five of them turn their backs."
The coachmen knelt down and cried.
"It's none of our business, madam!"
"We are just here to work, and they said they would pay us a lot of money!"
"Yes, miss, please spare your life!"
"No kneeling!" Zhan Ning shouted, "Get up, we, the second lady, don't want anyone to kneel! It's for your own good that you turn your back, so that you don't have nightmares in the future!"
As soon as Zhan Ning finished speaking, a soldier on the cart shouted: "Second Miss, you are still alive, not a corpse!"
Everyone looked at it instantly.
"Bring it down quickly!" Zhan Ning said hurriedly.
On a cart in front, the soldier who had just opened the lid of the wine shouted: "Second Miss, we also found a young girl here!"
"Are you angry?" Xia Zhaoyi asked.
The soldier reached in and placed it on the neck of the woman in the altar.
"Yes!" the soldier shouted, and then called to his companions, "Quick, help me carry her out!"
Zhan Ning set up two torches on the spot and gave one to his companion, who stepped forward to help with lighting.
The girl who was first discovered was picked up from the wine jar by two soldiers. The torch illuminated her thin and withered face. Xia Zhaoyi was stunned for a moment. When the two soldiers laid her flat on the ground, she stepped forward to check for breath.
Check your pulse at the same time.
After confirming that she was safe, she looked at the other girl who was being carried out.
"How could it be them?" Xia Zhaoyi said.
"Second Miss, do you know her?" Liang Dechang asked.
"I know him, he is my friend in Qingxiang Village."
"What a coincidence!"
"It's a coincidence." Xia Zhaoyi said, looking at Lin Shuanglan who was put down on the ground first.
After Feng Anan was brought in, Xia Zhaoyi went over to check.
The two of them had no obvious brain or neck injuries, and the reason why they were unconscious was most likely due to drugging.
I couldn't tell what kind of medicine it was, but based on the pulse and breathing rhythm, as well as the heartbeat in the chest and the color of their lips and faces, I could tell that it was not a strong medicine and they should wake up soon.
Except for the two of them, no other abnormalities were found in other wine jars.
Xia Zhaoyi stood up and looked at Er Tou San.
The nine men headed by him did not dare to show their anger.
"What's going on!" Zhan Ning stepped forward and yelled angrily, "Why are these two girls in your car?"
Xia Zhaoyi said: "It's not difficult to find out the cause, and there's no rush. Let's take them all back first. Maybe they have other cases on their hands."
"Yes." Zhan Ning turned around and responded.
The soldiers sent by Shen Lie to meet them had never been to Hengxiang. They only led the way according to a few key terrain and architectural landmarks mentioned by Shen Lie. After entering Hengxiang, he went all the way to Qu Mansion.
Xia Zhaoyi was no stranger to Qu's Mansion, but this time she came from the northwest, and Qu's Mansion was really big. She didn't recognize it until she walked to the main gate.
A whole day passed, and the corpses and blood in front of the door had been cleaned up. The elegant and fragrant fragrance of flowers all around had long since covered up the original fishy smell.
The nurse from Qianmen came to report in a hurry, but the housekeeper of Qu Mansion was shocked and immediately came out to welcome him.
Xia Zhaoyi and Zhan Ning stood side by side on the steps, with their backs to the gate of Qu Mansion. Xia Zhaoyi was talking about something about Qingxiang Village.
There was a sound of opening the door behind them, and they turned around. When the housekeeper of the Qu Mansion saw that it was indeed her, two lines of tears instantly fell down: "Miss Ah Li!"
Xia Zhaoyi was frightened by his enthusiasm: "Butler Qu, you..."
Is the friendship between them so deep that they shed tears when they see it...
"Miss Ali, I finally got to see you!"
In the past two days, during the confrontation with the Hengxiang guards, the housekeeper of Qu Mansion, who had behaved extremely calmly, calmly and fiercely, burst into tears in front of Xia Zhaoyi, sobbing uncontrollably.
Xia Zhaoyi and Zhan Ning had no choice but to comfort him first. Liang Dechang, Guan Chi and others in the open space looked at this scene and looked at each other.
Following their horses, the two men and three others, whose hands were tied with long ropes, trotted all the way back to Hengxiang. They were panting before, but now they were so frightened that their cardiopulmonary function was about to fail.
The word "Qufu" is enough to scare away their souls.
