Beside the dark lake shore, a solitary lantern dimly illuminated the nearby flowers and trees. The woman hid in the darkness and watched the scholar humming a song and rummaging in the grass. Then she picked up a big stone and tossed it gently.
After a few moments, he seemed satisfied and walked back.
At one end of the road, the soldiers of the Wu Lie Army gradually approached. On the other side, the government servants were also patrolling the lakeshore with lanterns. It seemed that they were one step ahead of the soldiers. There was a banging sound, and the scholar squatted next to the carriage and used a stone to
Smashing the wheels of the carriage, it seemed that there was something wrong there. When he threw away the stone and clapped his hands and stood up, the government officials were already approaching. The woman held her breath. Of course, the government officials came to her first.
After seeing the scholar, they looked at the sign on the car and heard a conversation.
"This young master...is from the Prince Consort's Mansion?"
"Is something wrong?" The scholar said calmly and turned around to ask.
"Uh... something happened in the city just now, and we are looking for the culprit. Since the young master is not a member of the Prince Consort's Mansion, I don't know why there is such a car..."
Judging from the scholar's attitude, he might have some origins. Several government officials remained respectful. The scholar probably thought about it for a while and asked doubtfully: "The murderer?"
At this time, several military soldiers over there had also come over. When they saw what was happening on the carriage, they also surrounded it, but a few people were still looking into the darkness by the river, keeping vigilance. The scholar returned
Head: "How many of you are there too?"
"The Wu Lie Army is arresting the assassin. What are you asking about?" the leader of the army said calmly.
"What happened?"
"There was an assassination in the city just now. The assassin must have come this way. I wonder if the young master saw anyone suspicious... Also, if you don't mind, the young master will probably conduct a routine search."
"Oh, I understand, please excuse me." The scholar gestured with his hands, and then asked, "I wonder if anyone has been assassinated?"
"Where are you coming back from, Master?"
"Bailuzhou, Oiran Competition. I am Ning Liheng. I am not from the Prince Consort's House. I just know Ming Gong, so I borrowed his car to drive back to the city. Ming Gong should be still behind at this time, and will take the boat back to the city. Several responsibilities
Where, if necessary... Oh, the person responsible for getting off the bus and driving you is Lu Agui, the deacon of the Prince Consort's Mansion, you can ask him."
Naturally, it was impossible for the few soldiers to tell the specific story of what happened casually, so they only asked about the scholar's origins. They checked the carriage back and forth, and after hearing what the young man said, they became respectful, and the soldier
He bowed: "I'm sorry."
Someone among the government officials said: "Ning Liheng...could it be the Ning Liheng who appeared when the bright moon appeared?"
This man seemed to have a good background. As he spoke, the attitude of the soldiers and government officials towards him changed drastically. Then the leading soldier lowered his voice slightly and said: "Just now at the intersection of Xuanling Street, an assassin assassinated Captain Song Xian.
Mr. Song, there are dozens of casualties. The assassins are highly skilled in martial arts and are vicious in their attacks. Most of them have fled to this area now. Young Master, remember to be careful. It is best to return home as soon as possible."
Both groups of people had responsibilities. After saying some words, they went in one direction. At the intersection on the other side, they met another group of people who were patrolling. They pointed in this direction and said something. The scholar said something to
Three groups of people in the distance waved their hands, and then, in the night, they heard him snort: "Hey, Song Xian..."
Then the scholar got on the carriage and began to wave his whip to make the carriage drive forward.
The carriage turned around the street in front and drove smoothly. Ning Yi opened the curtain and hung it up, looking at the dimming lights around him. People coming back from the oiran competition also passed by at this time. Several government officials came to court.
He rushed over in the opposite direction, looked at the open curtains of the carriage and the signs on the carriage, and paid no attention to it.
After all, the flow of people has increased. At this time, most of the people who have returned from the oiran competition still have a little background. It would be too troublesome to check them one by one after leaving the suspicious central area. What's more, at this time, they can
The manpower gathered was not enough, so the most they could do was to strictly check those who left the city gate.
The bait should have been put out. Whether it had any effect depends on luck. According to his expectation, the assassin was most likely hiding near the lake shore. However, the area was large after all, so he was looking for what he thought was the most likely place.
The location, the surroundings are quiet, and the sound of talking should be easily transmitted. If the range is wider, the possibility of fish eating the bait is still only 30%.
He didn't know if there was another person in his car, and he couldn't lower his head to confirm it at the moment, otherwise he would probably be hit with a sword in the head. He just paid attention to the road to the left and right of the carriage with his eyes. There was still someone in this area, if the other person
Taking the bait, he probably wouldn't get off the car here, but then, the road to the school became a little quieter, and when there was no one on both sides of the road, he slowed down the car and decided to speak.
"I want to say a few words, please don't be too sensitive, strong men. Song Xian was vicious, domineering, and would use any means to seek superiority. In the autumn of the sixth year of Jinghan, he was even charged with rape in February Village outside the city in order to occupy people's fields.
, killed a whole family of people. This matter later became known to everyone, but there was no evidence, and no one could touch him. I have long heard of his evil deeds, and I have always admired the heroic and heroic spirit. If you can trust me, I would like to
Give a helping hand to the strong men..."
The wandering around just now was just on the edge of the crisis. It was nothing serious. The utterance of these words was truly an adventure. Of course, with some details of the two assassinations and the current situation, he can be sure that the risk has been eliminated.
was reduced to the minimum. However, if it can have any effect, it must be based on the premise that the assassin gets into the car, which is only 30% likely.
There were no pedestrians in front or behind the road. After saying this, Ning Yi waited for a possible response. However, after a long while, the response did not appear.
Could it be a miscalculation?
When the layout is not perfect, failure is common. After all, the chance is not great from the beginning. Of course, nothing will be lost because of it. As time passed, Ning Yi felt a touch of regret in his heart, sighed, and was planning to
Stopping the car and looking under the car, there was a dull bang in the rear. Ning Yi was shocked, jumped out of the carriage, took a lantern and headed over there. He saw that the assassin woman had a black cloth wrapped around her body and fell on the road.
Fainted.
She killed Song Xian from the beginning but was surrounded. She used all her strength to kill Song Xian in that situation. She had also suffered many injuries. When Ning Yi peeked at her, she still acted tough, but this
Running all the way through the city, being chased and intercepted, her body was naturally pushed to the limit. When Ning Yi suddenly revealed her hiding, she might have planned to rush out suddenly, but if she tried to gather her strength at this time, she would probably faint suddenly.
The woman wrapped her body with this cloth in order to prevent blood from dripping along the way. At this time, she was still holding on tightly. Ning Yi watched for a few seconds and quickly picked up the woman.
There have been several wrong guesses, accidents and mishaps in the past, but this time around, it's really a perfect change.
From the beginning, the possibility of getting this woman in the car was not high. After getting in the car, how to gain the trust of the other party in a delicate situation, help step by step, pave the way, make her owe a favor, and then consider negotiation.
...The probability of completing each step of these things is decreasing, but it is indeed the most ideal result right now. Simply saying something requires winning the other party's trust. The controllability is too low. She fainted now.
It saves a lot of things to do next. As long as I help her heal her injuries and do things first, when she wakes up, she will naturally consider the current situation more rationally and reduce her suspicion and suspicion.
This road is close to the small courtyard he rented next to the school. He turned the corner and arrived at the door. Ning Yi looked at the surroundings, then opened the door and carried the woman in black in. The outside room was used for his experiments.
There is a small storage room in the back room, but there are not many things there yet. There used to be beds and chairs there, which were left by people in the past. Ning Yi put the woman on the bed, turned around and went out.
Check for any suspicious signs, then return to find the wound medicine.
Some commonly used bruises, bandages, etc. were originally prepared due to the possibility of injury during the experiment. Then I took a needle and thread and lit a simple alcohol lamp made of a porcelain bottle - because I had to cooperate with Nie Yunzhu to open a catering business.
, he made a small distillation device, but first made a small amount of alcohol - holding it and pushing open the door of the inner room before taking a step forward, brushing it, the sword blade was coldly handed to him
on the neck.
It’s too fast to wake up...
Ning Yi held the alcohol lamp and remained motionless, muttering secretly in his heart. The woman in front was leaning on the wall, holding the sword and looking at him coldly. Maybe the words on the carriage had an effect after all, but it didn't.
The idea of directly killing people, for a moment, asked: "What do you want to do?"
"Wound medicine." Ning Yi raised the small package in his right hand, slowly placed it on the small table in front of him, reached out and opened it. "Lamp." He said, then put down the alcohol lamp and raised his hands: "
Help you heal your injuries."
"How can I trust you?"
"Judge for yourself."
The woman reached out and picked up a small bag containing wound medicine and sniffed it. She glanced at Ning Yi and threw it aside. She opened a porcelain bottle and looked at it before throwing it aside again. In the process, she finally slowly put down the sword in her hand. After a moment
: "What is this fishhook used for?"
"Needle, help you sew up the wound."
"Sew...the wound?"
"Well, just stitch up the wound and it will heal quickly."
The woman looked at him strangely: "Get out."
Then he added: "Only outside. If you leave or play any tricks, I will go out and kill you immediately."
"I'll boil some hot water for you."
This woman should have brought better medicine herself, and she would not let him deal with those injuries. Ning Yi nodded and exited the door, then smiled and shook his head. In any case, the first step has been taken care of.
"My name is Ning Yi, and my courtesy name is Li Heng. Where are you, girl?"
So he remained humble and began to get closer...
ps: It will be revised later. There is a very long ps. If you are interested in Ning Yi’s character, you can refresh it and take a look^_^v
