There were five bodies in total, all of them were Qiu Yu Camp soldiers, and they all died from a knife slashing their throats.
Shen Lie and Dai Yu did not go down to salvage. The lower reaches of the river would soon end, and the bodies would be stranded there, and someone would take care of their funerals.
"I thought it was just the children of the aristocratic family who died," Dai Yu looked at Shen Lie, "Now even ordinary soldiers are attacking."
And the raft was clearly prepared in advance.
As soon as Dai Yu finished speaking, Shen Lie frowned and turned around.
Four men in black rushed towards them silently, and the man in black who was about to attack them paused for a moment, then immediately attacked without saying a word.
Dai Yu cursed angrily and rushed forward.
The four of them were not weak in martial arts, and those who dared to sneak attack the soldiers had excellent kung fu skills. However, they did not expect that this soldier who charged in single-handedly was even better.
The three of them dragged Dai Yu, and one of them rushed towards Shen Lie. Before he could draw his knife, his wrist was grabbed by the prey coming from the opposite side, and the dagger was easily removed.
The next moment, his neck was pinched by a powerful palm. If it moved slightly, it would be broken in an instant.
The other three people did not get any favors from Dai Yu. One was elbowed by Dai Yu and fell to the ground. The other was grabbed by Dai Yu's hand and stabbed in his lower abdomen. Another one was struck by Dai Yu's dagger. Right on his neck.
The battle did not last long and was quickly over.
Shen Lie glanced at the three people on Dai Yu's side, then looked at the man in black in front of him. The touch in his hand was extremely delicate. He said coldly: "Is it a woman?"
The man in black, whose face was almost turning blue under the cloth that covered his face, glared angrily at the soldiers in front of him.
The lights on the other side are bright, and the man's facial features are backlit, showing his rare beauty.
The man in black suddenly raised his hand, wanting to kill himself.
Shen Lie quickly stopped her, then loosened his grip and threw her to the ground. Dai Yu came over and dragged her away.
Four people in black, three men and one woman.
Dai Yu tied their hands and feet with their belts. Without asking who they were or their purpose, he threw them on the shore and left them to fend for themselves.
On the way back, Dai Yu was extremely wary, fearing that someone else might attack him.
In Ji's mansion, Ji Lingde's body was already lying peacefully in the coffin of the mourning hall, and there were cries inside and outside.
When Shen Lie and Dai Yu returned to their original positions, nothing seemed to have happened. No one came to see them, so they were still being left alone.
When Yinshi was approaching, Ji Xiahe was so sleepy that he burst into tears. Then he asked about Shen Lie's situation. When he learned that Ji Zhongchuan had not given any orders at all, Ji Xiahe was shocked and hurriedly ran out, but did not find Shen Lie and Dai. Yu.
After asking others, I learned that he had already gone back.
Ji Xiahe was so angry that he wanted to go back to settle the score with Ji Zhongchuan, but the situation at home made it impossible for him to get angry, so he had to endure it.
In the remaining two days, the incident still caused turmoil in the city. Although no more injuries or killings occurred, people were still in panic, and children from rich families did not dare to take to the streets.
A total of twenty-nine people died, including thirteen Qiu Yu Camp soldiers.
Other barracks stationed near Guangzhuo were not damaged, and the government officers, Guangzhuo's patrol guards and the newly established inspection department were all intact.
Ji Xiahe was too busy to get away from him. Although he was the concubine of the third family, he was the only son in the entire third family, and his treatment was no different from that of a legitimate son.
Especially the third wife, the Sun family, treated Ji Xiahe extremely well. If Ji Xiahe had not been born, the third wife would have been targeted by others.
Clan cannibalism. Just like the sister of Marquis Xuanping of Daqian in the previous dynasty, who married into the Cao family, she was still a wife with status and rank. She was still looked down upon without a son. Once her husband died, she was nothing. In the clan A bunch of people are waiting to invade their property.
Now that Ji Lingde died, Mrs. Sun took Ji Xiahe and asked him to do this and that. She taught him step by step, hoping that he would gain favor in front of his elders.
Ji Xiahe finally took a breath, and without taking a rest, the first thing he did was to run to Zhuangzi outside the city to find Shen Lie.
Ji Zhongchuan sent many people to look for Shen Lie in the past few days. Du Xuan all said that Shen Lie was ill and could not go, so he simply refused.
When Ji Xiahe ran to find him, Shen Lie was fishing outside.
It was said that he was fishing, but in fact it was Dai Yu and Du Xuan's interest. Shen Lie was leaning under a tree nearby, sleeping soundly.
Ji Xiahe shook him awake, sat down next to him, and fanned his folding fan. He first apologized and said that he couldn't stand Ji Zhongchuan anymore.
Shen Lie didn't answer. He picked up the bamboo tube on the side and raised his head to drink water.
"They are used to looking down on them. They really shouldn't continue to give these people face," Ji Xiahe said again, "I have never seen anyone with such an attitude when asking for help. Even if it is my second uncle, I can't bear it. It's too much bullying."
Shen Lie finished drinking, put down the bamboo tube, and then asked: "How is it in the city?"
"That's it. The arrows are from last year's batch at the Arrow Factory, and are exclusively for the Qiu Yu Camp. The Qiu Yu Camp died more tragically this time. Now the family suspects that it may be an internal party dispute in the court."
"Internal party dispute?" Du Xuan turned around and said, "Who is fighting who?"
"Many people now say that Mrs. Yan did it," Ji Xiahe lowered his voice, "I wonder if you have heard of this person. I heard that she followed Emperor Tianding in her early years and made great contributions to Emperor Tianding. As a result, After Emperor Ding ascended the throne, not to mention the queen and concubines, she didn't even ennoble ordinary concubines, but only a third-grade imperial concubine. She was full of anger and resentment, and she did a lot of crazy things, but it's hard to say, after all, she didn't directly The evidence proves it was her."
Du Xuan knew all this, but he thought it was unnecessary for him to be crazy enough to kill his own people.
"What are the specific crazy things?" Du Xuan asked again.
"I don't like staying here. I've been here all year round. I couldn't tell you when I was asked," Ji Xiahe fanned his folding fan, frowned for a while, and said, "By the way, I just heard it. It's half a month." There was something that happened just now. Mrs. Yan sent people to hunt down a group of people, and they chased them all the way to Guangzhui and Anjiang. They killed more than five people by mistake along the way, but in the end they still let this person run away. Oh, by the way! Speaking of which Well, do you know who the person who saved that man is?"
"who?"
"I heard it's Ah Li!" Ji Xiahe's eyes lit up, "It's the Ah Li who became famous all over the world a few years ago!"
Shen Lie was stunned for a moment and immediately turned around.
Du Xuan and Dai Yu also opened their eyes: "Who are you talking about?!"
"Miss Xia, you are the only living person in Duke Dingguo's mansion! Don't you remember?"
After saying that, Ji Xiahe felt something was wrong and scratched his neck with his fan bone: "Why do I feel that Ah Li is very familiar to me? I seem to have heard of it recently."
"Are you sure it's her?" Shen Lie asked calmly, "Where is it, Anjiang? Guangzhui?"
"Anjiang Linning, I'm not sure it's her. This is the news that came back last night, but according to the description, they all say that they are very similar, and their names and surnames match. And the Yang Changjun who was saved, I heard that he is also similar to her. There is indeed some connection. But she left almost ten days ago and took a group of people to the west by boat."
