Lin Bingzhi usually occupies the power of the family and runs domineering in this small town. In fact, he is strong on the outside, but he is a hollow straw bag on the inside, which is not as cruel as his big brother.
At this moment, the cold dagger was around his neck, which scared him into a fight, and he couldn't help begging for mercy.
Because he was accustomed to knowing Lin Bingzhi's cowardly nature, his father and brother never entrusted important matters to him on weekdays, and only let him idle away every day.
This time, Lin Bingren was secretly living alone in another hospital to torture Yu Xingzhi, but unexpectedly encountered a bandit and lost Yu Xingzhi, who was secretly kidnapped from Kyoto.
In a hurry, he had to mobilize the old man in the city to cooperate in the pursuit. Who would have expected that the second generation Zu Lin Bingzhi, who had nothing to do on weekdays, accidentally bumped into someone by mistake.
When Lin Bingzhi saw Hunting Xinxi, firstly, he thought that he would give up his lust, and secondly, he wanted to torture himself first, so as to save face in front of his father and brother.
Therefore, although Yu Xingzhi was caught, he concealed it and did not report it, and it was a coincidence that Zhou Xiaoxiao acted cheaply.
Zhou Xiaoxiao tied Lin Bingzhi with five flowers, and blocked the cotton cloth in his mouth, and then untied Yu Xingzhi's rope and helped him down to the ground.
As soon as Yu Xingzhi grabbed Zhou Xiaoxiao's hand, he couldn't say a word. He wanted to say that you shouldn't come here, but if he hadn't rescued him, he would not be able to escape the humiliation. I want to say thanks to you for coming, but letting her take risks alone is not what I want.
Zhou Xiaoxiao reached out and touched his head lightly, and said, "Fortunately, you're fine. I'll take you away."
"No, no!" Yu Xingzhi stared at her and said word by word, "You took a risk for me alone, and relieved my great shame. I am deeply grateful for this deep kindness. It's just that I was seriously injured and difficult to travel, and this place is heavily guarded. Please listen to me and leave quickly, don't think of me."
Zhou Xiaoxiao is about to answer. Yu Xingzhi pulled her forward and hugged her gently in his arms.
Yu Xingzhi was taught very strictly since he was a child. If he can't do this kind of action on weekdays anyway, but at this time he is determined to die, it is inevitable that he will indulge what he wants in his heart.
"You leave this dagger to me, and let me stab this person. I... have no regrets." He whispered in Zhou Xiaoxiao's ear.
"You bullshit!" Zhou Xiaoxiao pushed him to the ground, so angry that he even came out with foul language, "I have worked so hard and ran in at the risk. Is it just to hand you a knife and kill myself? Is it?"
She couldn't help but tell Yu Xingzhi to change into a servant's clothes, took out two pieces of black charcoal, and touched Yu Xingzhi's head and face to black.
At this time, it became noisy outside, and someone called through the window: "Second Master, there is water running from the warehouse. Furui has already brought someone over there. Second Master, don't be surprised."
Zhou Xiaoxiao pulled Lin Bingzhi over, put a sharp blade against his back, and whispered in his ear, "I'll say a word to you. Say half a word, don't blame me for the white knife going in and the red one going out."
This made Lin Bingzhi nod his head like a chicken pecking at rice.
Zhou Xiaoxiao pulled out the rag from his mouth and whispered.
Lin Bingzhi yelled out the window, "Get out of here!"
Zhou Xiaoxiao whispered again: "Who disturbed the interest of the master, the master made him not see the sun tomorrow."
Lin Bingzhi learned to shout again.
Seeing that Zhou Xiaoxiao immediately slammed a water glass on the window. Sure enough, the people outside the window dispersed immediately, and even those who had been waiting outside were kept away for fear of being angered.
Lin Bingzhi secretly complained inwardly, where did this thief mother-in-law come from, and she knew exactly how he used to train people on weekdays. Don't expect those idiots out there to come in and save you now.
Zhou Xiaoxiao blocked Lin Bingren's mouth and nose and stepped on him to the ground, killing him with one knife. Avenged the father and son of the kind doctors who died in his hands.
Furui, the housekeeper of the Lin Mansion, felt that things were really not going well recently. First, the other courtyard in the mountain was attacked by bandits two days ago. Who knew that the eldest son, at some unknown time, quietly brought people to live in it and was injured in the bandits. Fortunately, he was only slightly injured, otherwise the master in Kyoto would not have plucked his own head.
However, during the chaos, the eldest son lost an important prisoner, and now he has taken a famous letter and asked the lord of the government to issue a sea arrest document.
The little boy heard about this, and he was also interested. Every day, he arranged for people and horses, saying that he wanted to help the eldest brother find someone. Many innocent people were arrested, and several jokes were made.
Today, I don't know who I took, and I was locked in the room and tossed, but I didn't even care about running water. There was no other master in this mansion, so I had to make up my own mind. It's just that the good warehouse got up and caught fire for no reason.
Fury commanded the fire-fighting people in the yard to run around in a hurry.
Suddenly, I saw a young servant running towards the outer courtyard with a wounded man whose head and face were blackened by smoke. The boy who carried the man looked a little familiar, but he couldn't remember which yard it was from. The person on his back was blackened by the smoke, and he didn't know whether to live or die.
"Who is this guy? How did he get hurt like this?" Furui stopped them.
The little boy took a breath and held the person on his back: "If you return to Lord Fu. This is the fifth son of Aunt Li's house outside the second door, because he saw the water coming in from the warehouse to help, he was smoked by smoke, and the young man was on his back. He went back to find his mother."
"Oh, hurry up, hurry up." Fury waved them away.
Seeing that although the little boy was not tall, he had no difficulty carrying a person on his back and ran away. Furui thought to himself: This kid is smart and refreshing, and he has a lot of strength. I don't know who is the kid. I will ask for help after tonight's work is over. See if it works.
But he didn't know that it was Zhou Xiaoxiao who was pretending to be a servant. At this moment, Zhou Xiaoxiao ran wildly, not daring to look back, and clenched the sharp knife hidden in his sleeve in his hand. Lying on her back and pretending to be in a coma was Yu Xingzhi, and he was so nervous that he was in a cold sweat.
Fortunately, there was no danger. Zhou Xiaoxiao carried Yu Xingzhi on his back and walked through the crowd in a grand manner. Because of the fire, there was chaos, and no one came to ask questions. The two came to the stable. The horse galloped away to the east city.
The two came to the east of the city, and there was an abandoned Chenghuang Temple. At this moment, the sky was twilight, and there was no one on the street. Zhou Xiaoxiao took Yu Xingzhi into the ruined temple and lifted the heavy platform under the Buddhist shrine.
I saw that the ground was originally a quilt that Zhou Xiaoxiao had arranged earlier, with several messy packages thrown on it.
Zhou Xiaoxiao tucked Yu Xingzhi under the offering table and said, "Wait for me here." After speaking, he turned around and left, but his wrist was held by one hand. She turned back and saw Yu Xingzhi holding her arm.
Yu Xingzhi called softly, "Du Juan."
He slowly shook his head with a disapproving look on his face.
Zhou Xiaoxiao smiled. She touched her nose and said embarrassedly, "I actually have another name, Zhou Xiaoxiao. You can also call me Xiaoxiao."
She broke Yu Xingzhi's hand off, "You are waiting for me here, I will be back soon, don't worry."
Not long after the east gate opened, there were only three or two people entering and leaving the city. The soldiers guarding the city were yawning boredly. A surnamed Zheng in the city personally led two heads and one or two hundred soldiers. Come rushing. Zheng Tongjuan stopped his horse at the gate of the city, and shouted, "Don't leave the strong thief!" He ordered the gate to be blocked, allowing entry and no exit. The gate guard on duty hurried forward to meet him.
"I don't know what happened? You are so anxious to pass the sentence?"
"You don't know that there was a thief who set fire to the Lin Mansion early this morning, and injured Young Master Lin's life. Lord Futai was furious, and ordered the city gates to be blocked on all sides, and ordered me to wait around for a thorough investigation and catch the murderer within a limited time."
The city gate guard paused and said, "How can this be a good thing? When the city gate first opened, there were already many people coming and going. One of them went out of the city on a horse from the Lin House."
"Is there such a thing? Can you see it carefully?"
"The villain has always had some contacts with the second son of the Lin House, but the marks on the Lin House's horse hips and the clothes of the Lin House servants are recognizable."
"Is it one person or two people right away? Do you know what people look like right away?"
At that time, the gates of the city were first opened, and several guards were still idling to catch fish, and only a small soldier was called to open the gate. The garrison only saw the servants of the Lin Mansion riding out of the city from a distance, because the Lin Mansion always acted flamboyantly, and was lazy to ask.
This time, out of fear of being blamed by the Shangguan, he had no choice but to say nonsense: "Because the horse ran so fast, and the younger ones could not see its face clearly, there was a knight on the horse's back, and it seemed to be carrying a person behind... The city gate went all the way along the official road."
The judge surnamed Zheng was overjoyed, thinking that the credit for arresting the thief must fall on his own family. While sending someone back to make a notice, he ordered his men and horses to chase after him.
In the chaos at the city gate, a young farmer dragged an empty scooter leisurely into the city.
Zheng Tongjuan and the others galloped past the farmer, and no one paid attention to the sallow complexion of Zhuang Han. This Zhuang Han looked back at the rolling away, blinked his dexterous eyes that didn't match his face, and showed a sly smile.
It turned out that Zhou Xiaoxiao knew that Yu Xingzhi, who was seriously injured, was not easy to escape. So he made a plan and rushed out of the city early in the morning wearing the clothes of a servant of the Lin House and carrying a rolled up quilt on his back. He actually hid Yu Xingzhi in the Temple of the City God. Not far from the city, he changed into the clothes he had hidden earlier, and Joe, a farmer who entered the city, sneaked into the city again. But it attracted the pursuers out of the city to chase.
