After a while, the dagger broke again after a crisp sound of collision. Hua Zhi seized the opportunity to kick her weapon away, and then a close-range dagger was across her neck.
Just as she was about to speak, she noticed something strange under her hand. She subconsciously withdrew the dagger, bent her knees, and pushed her out, then chased after her and cut her jaw. Because she was not familiar with the business, the girl from the Zhu family showed a look of pain on her face.
"Be careful, don't give her a chance to commit suicide." Hua Zhi was panting slightly, her shoulders aching. "Give her a pen and paper, let her write."
Bao Xia glanced at the drooling Zhu family girl and said, "Is your chin always going to be like this? It will be difficult to recover after a long time..."
"That's not what I want to worry about." Hua Zhi put her shaking left hand into her cloak and looked at Bao Xia with appreciation. This was a good cooperation. If a person has the will to die, he or she will try his or her best the first time he or she seeks death. But if he or she fails the first time, he or she may not be so determined the second time. As long as she is alive, it is impossible for a woman to not care about her appearance.
This is an invisible pressure for Zhu's daughter.
Liu Zheng signaled his subordinates to quickly get rid of the person, and stepped forward to apologize, "I was not able to react in time, please forgive me, young lady."
Hua Zhi responded indifferently. She knew in her heart that Liu Zheng might not be slow to react, but was trying to find out her bottom line. However, she had no reason to be afraid.
Wang Yu had already walked over. She didn't dare to get too close and stopped three steps away, "Hua... Hua Zhi, I..."
Hua Zhi did not take over the conversation considerately, but just looked at her quietly.
Wang Yu lowered her head in embarrassment, suppressing the thoughts in her heart. When she raised her head again, her expression had calmed down. She bowed, "Miss, can you tell me what the situation is in the city right now? Are our families...safe?"
"The city is under martial law. The whole city is being searched for the remnants of the Chaoli clan. You just wait here." Hua Zhi glanced around, and no one dared to look at her. Just when everyone thought she was going to say something else, she turned around and walked down the stands.
Some things are too much to say even once, and she has no obligation to reshape their outlook on life.
Wang Yu wanted to ask more questions, but after taking a step forward, she looked at the unfamiliar Hua Ling. No, she was not the Hua Ling who played cards with them and didn't care how much money she lost, but Hua Zhi, the eldest daughter of the Hua family. Why did she think that she would tell her more? Just because they had played cards together a few times? Did she dare to bring this up again
She didn't dare.
Wang Yu felt bitter in her heart. She remembered what Jinyang was like in the past, and she also knew that it was not right that everyone in the city took gambling as a serious business. However, compared to the past when it was extremely difficult for women to go out, life now was too good. She did not dare, nor did she want to think too deeply about it.
She was very afraid of being locked up again. Living a life of never leaving the house was really too depressing, especially after having tasted such happiness.
Walking to the side of the stands, Wang Yu looked at Hua Zhi being respected by a man in armor and couldn't help but think, it turns out that if a woman is powerful, she doesn't need to be in a specific environment to make people not dare to look down on her
On the way back, Hua Zhi applied medicine again and her shoulder seemed to be more swollen.
"Miss, there are people coming from the front." The carriage stopped and Li He reported.
Hua Zhi put on her clothes immediately.
At this time, Bao Xia's voice came, "Miss, it's Jia Yang."
Hua Zhi lifted the curtain and looked over. The person riding a horse at full speed was none other than Jia Yang. When he got close, he reined in his horse and jumped off, bowing and reporting, "Miss, I found Qi Qiu."
"That's great." Hua Zhi was obviously relieved. "According to the information Zeng Xianglin left, Qi Qiu is also from the Chaoli tribe, but I guess he came later. Where did you find him?"
"You may have seen him before. He was wearing the uniform of a palace soldier and mixed in with the palace soldiers surrounding the Zeng family."
"..." He is really good at hiding. Who would have thought that he would go there? If she hadn't ordered him to surround her but not let her in, the two account books might not have fallen into her hands in the end.
Thinking of what Zeng Xianglin said in the letter, Hua Zhi ordered: "Immediately arrest the staff around Lu Xinming. Yu Mu took over quickly and should not have let anyone leave the government office. He is the last one to slip through the net."
"Yes." Jia Yang shrank his nose. He did smell the familiar scent of medicine. They always had this medicine on them. "Are you injured?"
Hua Zhi rubbed her shoulders subconsciously, "The Yu family had hidden someone before and didn't show up, and I got punched."
Jia Yang knew how powerful the Chaoli people's fists were, so he showed some worry on his face.
Hua Zhi smiled and said, "Pain is inevitable, but your bones are not injured. Let's get back to work first."
"yes."
At this time, the sun was setting, and the warmth it brought to her body was obviously not as strong as before. Hua Zhi realized that she had been running around outside for most of the day without realizing it. She had not eaten anything since morning, so it was no wonder that she felt hungry and thirsty.
Well, I don't know if anyone will send food to the young men and ladies at the horse farm, but they won't starve to death if they don't eat for a day. Hua Zhi doesn't have a very good impression of the aristocratic families in Jinyang. If the Chaoli tribe is the leeches that suck the blood of the people of Jinyang, then these people are flies. Although the amount of blood they suck is smaller, it cannot change the fact that they also sucked the blood of their own people. Compared with outsiders, their own people are more unforgivable.
I wonder when Jinyang’s name of Little Capital will live up to its name again. It is always easier to destroy a place than to build it, especially when what is bad is the people’s habits.
After entering the city, the sound of car wheels rolling over the deserted streets seemed particularly loud. Hua Zhi didn't even need to look carefully to know that there was at least a pair of eyes looking at her behind every door. She could even imagine what they were thinking at this moment: Jinyang City was about to change.
The weather in Jinyang City was about to change. Looking at the sun covered by layers of clouds, Hua Zhi retreated back into the carriage.
The carriage stopped in front of the government office. After getting off the carriage, Hua Zhi saw that Liu Zheng had already walked up to talk to the elite soldiers guarding the government office.
After a while, he came back and said, "Master Yu left a message. If you come, please go in directly."
The atmosphere inside the yamen was even more tense than outside. There was a soldier every ten steps, and no one was seen moving.
Hua Zhi met Yu Mu in the lobby, and also met all the officials of Jinyang who were trapped there and unable to leave. At this time, a man was tied up by Jia Yang. Hua Zhi knew without asking that it was the aide.
At this time, the man standing there with a dark face and wearing an official uniform...
Yu Mu came forward and bowed, "Young lady."
Hua Zhi was about to speak, but the person standing there spoke first, "Who is this person? How can a woman come here?"
Yu Mu didn't even glance at him, he bent down deeply, and handed the seal of the leader of the Seven Stars Division back to Hua Zhi with both hands, "I have fulfilled your mission, all the officials of Jinyang are here."
Jia Yang also stepped forward to greet her, "My dear lady, the last remnant of the Chaoli clan has been captured. Please give me your instructions on how to deal with him."
Hua Zhi glanced back and forth between the two of them, took the seal, and accepted their protection.
