Author: An Zhizhi

Chapter 23 Life-saving grace

Just after leaving the yard, a man in black flew down from the eaves, splitting the rainwater with a scimitar in his hand, and slashed at Feng Yu. Only Qiu Xiang was left beside Feng Yu. Qiu Xiang's eyes were red, and she opened her arms to block Feng Yu's face as if she was dead.

The moment the long knife slashed towards Qiuxiang's neck, Lin Xiao, wearing only a plain robe, fell from the sky and blocked the long knife. The man in black's pupils widened. Lin Xiao jumped up and stabbed him with his sword. The two of them were in the rain.

The fight started with swords and swords flashing, and the men in black were killing each other, ruthlessly and ruthlessly. Lin Xiao's features were cold and calm in the rain, and his eyes were darker than the night.

Qiuxiang protected Feng Yu and ran out. Another man in black fell from the sky and blocked their way. Feng Yu was forced to retreat step by step. The man in black stabbed Feng Yu with his blade. Lin Xiao saw this and turned around to hug her.

Qiu Xiang jumped to the side, holding her head and fell to the ground. The target of the man in black was Feng Yu. They both stabbed at Feng Yu and Lin Xiao. At the critical moment, Lin Xiao swung his sword to block the sword coming from the right.

, blocked the killing move from the left with his body, and stabbed his shoulder with the long sword.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and Feng Yu could hardly see his face clearly. Lin Xiao held her in his arms and said, "Don't be afraid!"

Feng Yu didn't expect that Lin Xiao would block the sword with her body. She thought that Lin Xiao would let her go and no longer care about her life or death. Feng Yu looked at the young man's handsome features in shock. She still had the familiar arrogance, but there was something...

different.

This scene was really shocking to Fengyu. Lin Xiao, who had always been at odds with her, would risk his life for her as a sword. Didn't he hate her?

Seeing this, the man in black pulled out his long sword, blood mist splashed, and blood dripped onto Feng Yu's cheek. The man in black still wanted to assassinate Feng Yu, but was stopped by another one. He blew a long whistle, and Zhuang Zi felt

The men in black receded like the tide.

The strong wind howled past, Lin Xiao turned back, and the long sword stood on the ground. He was so painful that he knelt on one knee. Feng Yu looked down and saw a large blood stain on his back, like a red plum in the snow.

Lin Xiao looked up and saw Feng Yu's eyes, smiling gently, "I'm sorry, I scared you."

Feng Yu felt mixed feelings in her heart. The young man stained with blood in the rain was a knife in the autumn night. The tip of the knife pointed outward, coldly protecting the people he cared about. Chun Lu and Zhang Da came to Feng Yu after the man in black ran away. When they saw Feng Yu

They all breathed a sigh of relief that everything was fine. Feng Yu was soaked all over. Chun Lu said, "Girl, hurry up and get out of the corridor to avoid catching the wind and cold."

Feng Yu also saw Chun Lu and Zhang Da's injuries. She suppressed the surging emotions in her heart and said, "Hel the injured people in and call the doctor."

In the middle of the night, the lights were all turned on in Zhuangzi. There was a doctor in Yilingzhuang. The guards in the courtyard went to Yilingzhuang to ask for the doctor. Lin Xiao, Zhang Da and Chunlu were all injured. Three of the guards brought by Zhang Da were killed and three injured. This

Zhuangzi was originally the spring outing of the Feng family, and usually only kept Liu's mother and a few servants. Fengyu had never been assassinated in the capital for many years, and no one thought that there would be a thrilling assassination on a rainy night.

Zhang Da was carried on his shoulders and legs. Chun Lu was also injured in the arm. Lin Xiao was stabbed and lost too much blood. Mother Liu slept deeply at night. When she was awakened, the assassination was over. She saw Feng Yu being spattered with blood.

After crying, Fengyu comforted her for a long time, and Liu's mother calmed down.

Feng Yu was afraid that the killers would come back, so she ordered someone to report it to the official. When the Gaoping County Magistrate came with him, it was already dawn. When the Magistrate saw that Lin Xiao was injured, he was frightened and panicked. If Lin Xiao had three advantages and two disadvantages, what would he do?

Explain to the Lin family. He hurriedly asked about Lin Xiao's injury. Lin Xiao's injuries were not serious, but the injuries looked scary.

"Stop being stuck, go and deal with the affairs in Zhuangzi. These men in black leave no traces, are well-trained, and have unusual backgrounds. If the case is solved, they are guaranteed to be promoted and make a fortune." Lin Xiao had already been bandaged, and his middle coat was loose.

Wrapped up, his face turned a little pale due to excessive blood loss. He stretched his head to see Feng Yu, but he could only see the police officers coming and going.

The county magistrate's surname is Gao, and he is from Lin Xiao's mother's clan. Lin Xiao came to Gaoping County because his mother's clan asked him to come to Gaoping County for some business. The county magistrate gritted his teeth and said, "You're scaring me. Stop smiling so playfully. Wait until I know."

Your father, let’s see how he teaches you.”

Lin Xiao snorted, "It's up to you!"

He paused and couldn't help scolding, "You're such a lazy county magistrate. You reported the case a long time ago, and you didn't come here until dawn? You can't even keep up with the heat of eating shit."

The county magistrate was angry and did not dare to scold Lin Xiao, so he went out to find Feng Yu.

Before the county magistrate brought people here, Feng Yu also asked Zhang Da to check the scene. It was raining heavily tonight, and it was pouring heavily in the middle of the night. The blood was washed away by the rain and no traces were left. No clues were left at the scene.

Feng Yu had already changed into clean clothes, wrapped herself in a fox fur cloak and was sitting in the main room with her eyes closed and meditating. The county magistrate only thought that she was like a lifeless jade doll. When the magistrate came, Feng Yu stood up and saw her.

After the county magistrate sat down, Qiuxiang brought him hot tea. The magistrate said, "The third girl is frightened. It is unbelievable that such a murder occurred within the jurisdiction of Gaoping County. Does the third girl know who is coming?"

"I don't know."

"Have you offended anyone in recent days?"

"Never."

The magistrate hesitated to speak, but Feng Yu evoked a soft smile, like a sculpture suddenly smiling, a little bit charming, Feng Yu asked, "Please, magistrate, we must get to the bottom of it.

Give justice to the dead."

The morning wind passed through the corridor, and the county magistrate felt inexplicably cold. Whether it was Feng Yu's smile or the smell of blood floating in the courtyard, the magistrate asked, "The third girl caused a riot in Yiling Village and was assassinated that night. Is it...

Wasn't it made by people from Lingzhuang?"

Feng Yu said calmly, "Then I'll bother the county magistrate to investigate."

"Third Miss, you don't know anything about it. There is another murder case in Zhuangzi. This officer is really in trouble. If you hide anything, it will be difficult for this case to make progress."

Feng Yu asked innocently and aggrievedly, "The investigation is your government's business. Three of my guards were killed and three injured. If you know who the real culprit is, I'll trouble you to investigate. I'm the one who suffered. The county magistrate insisted that I have

What is being concealed?"

"Third Miss, please calm down. I am worrying too much. Don't worry, we will give you a satisfactory explanation for this matter." The county magistrate stood up and said, "Third Miss is also frightened. I will not disturb Third Miss."

The magistrate left the main hall, and the smile on Feng Yu's face gradually stiffened. She picked up the tea cup, blew on it, then clasped the cup and smashed it hard on the ground.

After the heavy rain, the sky suddenly appeared, and the main hall was half light and dark. Feng Yu seemed to be sitting in a group of shadows. Qiuxiang was silent beside her, not daring to pick up the pieces. Feng Yu slowly closed her eyes.

The Gaoping County Magistrate did not take this assassination seriously at all. Otherwise, why would he have come here at dawn? The hospital was full of sick, sick, women and children, and they were in Zhuangzi. They were all afraid that the killer would come back. Everyone was looking forward to the county magistrate.

The people from the government office came over earlier, as anxious as ants on a hot pot, but they showed up only at dawn. They came to Zhuangzi not to survey the scene, but to care about Lin Xiao's injury immediately.
