The old master who was doing the watch passed by banging his bangle, and there was a cloud of stars in the sky.
After Xia Zhaoyi left Mr. Liuhe's residence, he returned to Fuquan Inn.
But instead of staying overnight, I sat on the roof of Bufang opposite Fuquan Inn.
The wind blowing from high places raised her ponytail hanging behind her head. She held her cheek with one hand, her eyes fell on the window sash of the inn that had already been closed, and she was thinking about those books in her mind.
The world was full of wars and gunfire, so she lived in seclusion for several years, but she knew the news about the war on all sides better than anyone else.
But regarding Feng Qingang and His Highness Qianqiu, neither she nor her master gained anything more.
Back then, the master had filled in the Qianqiu Hall under Long Yuan for her, but she knew in her heart that it could not be filled.
As long as the eyes in the darkness are still there, another Qianqiu Palace can be built.
Although it has little to do with her, she went to Longyuan just for Shen Lie, and Shen Lie did it for Shen Shun.
However, she could not forget the words "departed guest".
And, the girl in the pillar who is said to look exactly like her.
This is also the reason why Master wanted to fill up Qianqiu Hall.
After sitting for a long time, her thoughts were not clear at all, and the person she was waiting for tonight did not show up.
It stands to reason that if she posted such a note at the Fuquan Inn today, even if the person who dug up her mark didn't want to come out openly, they would not have asked the shopkeeper secretly.
Du Xuan mentioned at that time that Fushang County was calm on the surface, but secretly it was anything but. Shen Lie had arranged many people here, but more people were arranged by Guo Yu.
Obviously it was to protect the Ji family, but in addition to protecting the Ji family, it was also used to deal with Shen Lie.
Du Xuan said that they wanted Shen Lie to die or become disabled.
The person who dug her trap today is still unknown.
But whether it's Shen Lie or the Guo family, are you really not curious about who laid the trap?
Feeling sleepy, Xia Zhaoyi yawned slightly, and at this moment, the sound of horse hooves came from the end of the street.
She turned her eyes and saw a group of soldiers and horses coming. They were so fast that they were in front of them in the blink of an eye and hurried past.
In a world of war and chaos, especially in a border city compared to the Great Ping Dynasty, it is not surprising that soldiers and horses come and go in such a hurry, and no one on the street looks out of the window.
Xia Zhaoyi only glanced at it and then looked away, but immediately she turned her eyes again.
It seems that something is wrong again.
This armor is the armor of the Imperial Guards of the Great Ping Dynasty.
Out of habit, Xia Zhaoyi moved her fingers lightly and immediately frowned.
Very bad.
ยท
Half an hour later, thousands of soldiers and horses helped themselves to the Nancheng County and came out of the camp. Holding torches high, they rushed towards the city's inns.
Regardless of the size of the inn in the city, all the guests who stayed there were arrested.
Except for inns, the doors of every house were knocked, and any outsiders or renters were also taken away by the officers and soldiers.
Neighbors must report each other, and if there is any cover-up, they will be shot without mercy.
During the arrest process, we encountered no less than ten people who resisted. Their heads fell to the ground on the spot, and their blood was sprinkled on the streets of the city. Even the corpses were not disposed of and were left alone.
At three o'clock in the morning, a large number of officers and soldiers rushed outside the city and helped up all the rural roads within thirty miles of the county. The sound of horse hooves could be heard for a while.
As daylight gradually dawned, the shopkeepers of several inns and nearby neighbors finally plucked up the courage to open the doors and come out to find ways to collect the bodies abandoned on the street.
The blood had not yet dried, but it was completely cold. Everyone carrying the body was cold from head to toe.
Most of the corpses were strangers in a foreign land with no one to claim them. They wanted to abandon them outside the city, but the government came with an order to move them to the most empty square in the city. The government also wanted to conduct an autopsy.
So one cart after another was pushed towards the small square.
The shopkeeper and waiters at Fuquan Inn were about to cry.
They had already thrown it away outside the city, so they had no choice but to bite the bullet and move it back outside the city.
The man pushed the cart, making a creaking sound as it rolled across the stone road in the early morning.
The shopkeeper followed beside him, shouting bad luck, clasping his palms together, and kept praying to gods, ghosts and Buddhas, hoping that the dead would not seek revenge on them.
They just left the city and went down the country road. Before they could find the place where the bodies were abandoned, a group of people rushed out, grabbed them and threw them towards the roadside.
The leading man grabbed the shopkeeper by his collar and asked harshly: "Do you still remember who the woman who wrote yesterday was?!"
The shopkeeper's face was sallow and his tongue was tied: "Yes, he is also a foreigner and was taken away by the government!"
"Fart, the government doesn't have her!" The man's voice turned cold, "Did she leave a message for you?"
"No, no!"
"Do you still remember her appearance?"
The shopkeeper thought about it for a moment and shook his head.
"Her face is hard to recognize!" said the clerk who was also suppressed on the side, "yellow and black, she looks like a peasant woman farming!"
"She didn't explain anything, just left a note and left?"
"Yes, the offer was generous. I just gave him two cents. It doesn't sound like a peasant woman."
"What about the two denarii?"
"Ah?" the shopkeeper said in a trembling voice, "Are you a robber?"
The leading man immediately slapped the shopkeeper: "Hand over the two dollars she gave you!"
The shopkeeper was stunned by the slap and couldn't answer for a moment. The waiter hurriedly shouted: "It's at Mr. Accountant's place! But if you ask Mr. Accountant to identify it, he won't be able to identify it. Our business is not good, but every day
There is always a flow of taels of silver on a certain day of the month."
The men looked at the leading man.
The man looked sinister and let go of the shopkeeper: "Get out!"
The two waiters hurriedly helped the grumpy shopkeeper, while the three of them staggered to grab the trolley.
Watching them hurriedly push the cart away, one of the subordinates said: "That woman acted arrogantly and thought she would leave many clues for us to find, but unexpectedly there was nothing."
"She must not be an ordinary woman." The man said coldly.
"What should we do now," the subordinate said, "four of us died and nine others were captured."
The man didn't speak for a while, then said in a deep voice: "Don't panic, we are not the only ones helping the county."
"The people from the Ji family and Shen Lie..."
"It's definitely not coming. There's so much movement in Fushang County, they should take a detour."
As he said that, the man turned back to look at Fushang County behind him: "Let's go to the nearby villages and wait for news, and then find a way to rescue the brothers in the city."
"yes!"
The shopkeeper was being supported by a waiter, his cheeks were burning and hurting, and his tinnitus had not subsided.
The three of them didn't dare to look back, but they also didn't dare to go back to the city.
After a long detour, we arrived at the place where the corpse was abandoned in the countryside.
It was said that the body was abandoned, but they would not dare to just wrap the body in a straw mat and throw it away. It was a dead body, so how could they dare to treat it lightly, so they dug the soil very deep this morning.
But when they found the place where the body was buried, they found that the soil had been dug up.
The three of them slowed down and walked slowly.
Suddenly I saw a man with red eyes getting up from the grave.
The three of them were so frightened that they almost screamed.
"Don't make a sound!" A girl's voice suddenly sounded from behind.
The three of them turned around.
She is a girl with a delicate and bright appearance.
Xia Zhaoyi put his finger in front of his lips: "Shh, he is the brother of the deceased, please don't say anything."
