Liu Ziguang was escorted back to the dormitory by two guards. The men and women were on guard. His opponent actually used such a shameless trick to frame him. He searched for his enemies in his mind. He had been too popular recently and there were many jealous people. It seemed that everyone had a reason.
Beat yourself. The guards in the house, the accounting gentlemen, and those who are potentially threatening your interests.
His reputation was over. He was seen by so many people. Now he could only rely on the wisdom of the eldest lady and his own character. Liu Ziguang was very irritated. It was very depressing to be played by the enemy behind the scenes. While walking back and forth, he suddenly heard
Someone knocked on the door outside the window. When I looked at the door, I saw it was guard Yang Meng. Yang Meng said expressionlessly: "The eldest lady left the table early and is questioning me in Dongxiang's room. I want you to go over and confront her. Come with me."
The eldest lady was still wise. She was so anxious to clear her name that Liu Ziguang followed Yang Meng without hesitation.
The alley of the inner house was empty, with only the lonely flame of the gas lamp flickering. The maids and servants all ran to the square in front of the main hall to watch the play. Their figures were stretched out by the light, and their footsteps echoed in the alley.
It seems very weird.
Liu Ziguang's dormitory was very close to the maids' dormitories, just across an alley. The maid's room was also quiet, with only the faint flicker of candlelight. YangMeng pushed open the courtyard door, held his waist knife and made a gesture of invitation.
Liu Ziguang felt that the atmosphere was very bad, but he didn't know why. He walked into the courtyard without any time to hesitate. Dongxiang's door was ajar. Liu Ziguang was afraid of being deceived, so he stood outside and opened the door.
Blood red, dazzling blood red, pale, naked body lying in a pool of blood, it was Dongxiang! Dongxiang's eyes were still wide open, as if questioning the sky, why it treated her so ruthlessly.
Trap! Another trap! Fell into the trap! Liu Ziguang turned around to catch Yang Meng.
YangMeng had already locked the door outside, and howled in a voice like a broken gong: "Come here quickly, Liu Ziguang has killed someone!" Immediately, there was the sound of chaotic footsteps not far away, and it seemed that there had been an ambush nearby.
.
Conspiracy, definitely a conspiracy. It seems that the other party not only wants to ruin his reputation, but also wants to take his own life! Liu Ziguang looked around and saw only a blood-stained iron factory standard steel knife in Dongxiang's room. This must be a frame-up.
Give yourself the murder weapon. You can't argue with the current situation. It's important to get the weapon to save your life! Jump over and pick up the steel knife, stick it diagonally on the belt behind your back, spot a fence, run a few steps, stretch out your hands, jump as hard as you can, and grab it
At the top of the wall, I turned over and was outside the wall.
Yang Meng noticed that Liu Ziguang had landed on the ground with a steel knife stuck in his back. He didn't dare to come over and moved closer to the rushing crowd, still shouting "Liu Ziguang killed someone!"
Among the people running towards him, the leader was clearly Song Qingfeng. He was wearing a white cloak with a white fox armpit hair collar that stood out in the night. Damn! It was him! He must have designed this trap. He couldn't defeat this guy and fell into their hands.
I'm afraid I'll be killed immediately, so it's better to leave.
The side door of the inner house was not locked yet. Liu Ziguang ran to it. The guard guarding the door was surprised and said: "Mr. Liu, are you so late...?" Before he finished speaking, Liu Ziguang hit his neck with the handle of a knife and fainted. Liu Ziguang rushed out and went outside.
It was a dark night, so he looked back at the pursuers who were getting closer and closer, then came in and picked up the guard's belt knife, closed the side door, used the belt knife to thread the two door knockers from the outside, turned around and disappeared into the night.
The guards cursed and kicked the door with their feet several times in a row. The sword on the door knocker couldn't bear the strength and broke. The guards pushed the door open and Liu Ziguang was nowhere to be seen. Song Qingfeng ordered: Immediately notify the guard captain Hu Xianjue and send someone to the door at the same time.
People go to the kennel to lead the hounds, and to the stable to lead the war horses, and prepare torches, bows and arrows.
Hu Xianjue was drinking in the main hall. He was called out of the hall by the deputy captain on duty and told him about Liu Ziguang's murder of Dongxiang and his escape with weapons.
The eldest lady's personal maid, this murder case cannot be taken lightly.
After entering the main hall, I reported to the eldest lady. Her face remained as usual. She stood up and apologized to the guests. She said she was too drunk and left the table to rest. After speaking, she hinted to Hu Xianjue and Ding Pengyuan to follow.
In the side room, the eldest lady listened to the detailed report of Hu and Ding. After listening, she calmly gave the order: hunt down Liu Ziguang, and make sure he is alive. Search Liu Ziguang's dormitory. Clean up Dongxiang's body and room, and do not make any publicity, so as not to defeat everyone.
New Year's Eve excitement.
After a while, the personnel sent out came back to report that they found a dark hole in the wall of Liu Ziguang's dormitory, which contained a clay mold of the treasury key, as well as a city defense map of the iron factory, and a six-month plan of the police station.
to taste the silk badge used by the military aircraft. In addition, the guards who were leading the horses in the stable to prepare for the pursuit also found a well-saddled horse. There were stolen silver notes hidden in the mezzanine of the saddle. Song Qingfeng had already led people to ride there.
Chased.
"It turned out to be a spy for the Qing Dynasty!" Ding Pengyuan was shocked and suggested to the eldest lady, "It seems that this thief had already planned to spy on the intelligence of our factory and steal the treasury silver. He must have fled back to the Qing Dynasty at this time. Please
The eldest lady sent Captain Hu to chase the murderer thousands of miles away, kill the thief, solve the crisis in our factory, and avenge Dongxiang’s revenge!"
The Qing Dynasty is located in the north, occupying the land of Yanyun. It has always been eyeing the Ming Dynasty in the south, especially for large pig iron weapons manufacturers like the Liguo Iron Works. Every year, spies come over to investigate. Even if there is no precaution, there is no way.
Beware of this cunning Liu Ziguang.
Hu Xianjue said: "Based on the information at hand, we have deduced the following: Liu Ziguang detected the secret of the iron factory, stole the treasury silver, prepared horses, and wanted to escape back to the Qing Dynasty on New Year's Eve, but before leaving, he suddenly wanted to rape Dongxiang.
, was discovered and killed someone in anger. Fortunately, he was discovered on the spot by a patrolling guard, so he fled in a hurry and had no time to bring the city defense map and the prepared banknotes. Now we still need to send out cavalry to search everywhere. At the same time, we must set fire to order the surrounding checkpoints to be closed immediately, and entry and exit are strictly prohibited.
.A certain family is willing to personally lead a team of light cavalry to search and capture this thief alive all night long."
The eldest lady sighed softly, and the face of the young man who didn't understand etiquette appeared in front of her.
"I know the words." The young man said respectfully but shyly.
"I will do my best to repay Missy's love." The young man's tone can be heard to be full of sincerity and gratitude, and even... there is a hint of other emotions...
The eldest lady waved her hand to drive away the shadow of Liu Ziguang in front of her, and said tiredly to Ding and Hu: "Just do what you want."
Suddenly the second lady pushed the door open and came in, followed by the crying Qiuxiang, Qiuxiang and Dongxiang Qing sisters. They had already learned what had happened. The second lady shouted: "There must be something fishy. There are so many maids in the inner house, and they are all secretly looking at Liu Ziguang. Why?"
He always wanted to attack Dongxiang who hated him? How could he kill people and do bad things when he was about to succeed? Is this what a well-trained cleaning machine does? The city defense map, badges, and banknotes are all after the fact.
Who can guarantee that it is not a frame-up? It is not a frame-up?"
Faced with the second young lady's aggressive questioning, Hu Xianjue did not accept the answer, but simply handed over his hand and said, "Once the culprit is caught, everything will come to light. I will resign first."
Only Ding Pengyuan was left alone. The old fox narrowed his eyes and said, "Second Miss, listen to me slowly." He began to use his sharp tongue to talk about Liu Ziguang's various doubts.
Premier Ding also found it strange that there was another group of people plotting against Liu Ziguang at the same time and committing a murder. However, he did have a double insurance policy for his plan. Now, even if this kid jumped into the Yellow River, he would not be able to clear himself out. The accountant
The guard team he belonged to was also sent out to find Liu Ziguang and kill him without mercy. When Hu Xianjue was a child, the Qing army bloodbathed the village and killed his whole family. He hated the Qing spies the most and would probably not show mercy. Liu Ziguang will die tonight.
Now everything I say is true.
Liu Ziguang was chased by hunting dogs and cavalry for the second time. The last time he was in a certain death mood, but now he was in a strong desire to survive. The long-term long-distance running exercise prevented his heart from being overwhelmed when he ran desperately. Even so,
I still feel severe pain in my lungs, and my racing heart is about to jump out of my throat.
After escaping from the inner house, Liu Ziguang took advantage of the fact that his pursuers could not follow him for the time being. He used the iron guard badge to sneak out of the city gate. There was a mine outside the city. He didn't know where to escape, so he just chose a direction and started running. He ran well.
The further away the better, Liu Ziguang thought to himself.
There was the sound of barking dogs and horse hooves in the distance, as well as the light of torches. It was impossible to run away. The hunting dogs could follow the scent, and there was no such thing as chili powder on their bodies. The speed of the cavalry was even faster than that of the best long-distance runners.
The soldiers are led by Song Qingfeng. Damn it, have I killed his whole family? If he can't get along with me, he can't be beaten and beaten, and he can't escape, what should I do?
Liu Ziguang was thinking like lightning in his mind, not daring to slow down at all. The surroundings were dark. He was quite familiar with the terrain in this area when he was mining before. A movie he had seen before appeared in front of him, Schwarzenegger's vs. Iron-Blooded
Soldier, the governor of California deceived the Predator by covering himself in mud. I wonder if covering himself in mud can cover his body's smell and deceive the noses of hunting dogs.
Anyway, I can’t run away, so let’s give it a try!
There is a lot of mud in the mineral processing area of the mine. Although it is winter, the temperature is not very low and the water surface is not frozen. Only small puddles are frozen. Liu Ziguang deliberately waded through the pond, hoping to temporarily create a small gap for the hunting dogs' sense of smell.
vacuum zone.
A mud pond produced after mineral processing appeared in front of him. The surface was already a little hard. He inserted it with a knife and dug it out. There was still mud in it that was not frozen hard. Liu Ziguang dug desperately and got out a pile of thin mud, which he hurriedly smeared on his face.
On the body, on the knife, but it was too slow, so I just lay down on the mud and rolled a few times. I heard the barking of dogs getting closer and closer. I saw a dry bush of weeds next to me, so I hurriedly got through it and headed towards the thickest place.
place to hide.
Barking dogs and horse hooves approached quickly, and the torches were bright. They were Song Qingfeng, Yang Meng and a group of guards. After chasing them to the edge of the mud pond, the hounds seemed to have lost their target and kept barking.
"What should I do? Mr. Song, it seems that Thief Liu is hiding, and the hunting dogs can't find him." Hearing that the voice was Yang Meng, Liu Ziguang didn't dare to raise his head, tightened his body and remained motionless, trying hard to calm down his strong need for oxygen and his breathing due to being beaten.
The body was half soaked in water and shivering from the cold.
"The thief must have waded through the water and headed over there. Brothers, follow me." It was Song Qingfeng's voice.
The barking of dogs and the sound of horse hooves gradually faded away. Liu Ziguang slowly let out the breath he was holding, and his violently beating heart calmed down a little.
Liu Ziguang quietly crawled out of the tangled grass and was about to escape in the opposite direction of his pursuers, when he suddenly heard someone talking behind him.
"Manager Liu, you are fine."
He only saw Song Qingfeng in white clothes smiling at him under the moonlight.
