It is faintly visible that there are people wearing linen clothes in the crowd, and people like ordinary people are walking quickly among them, but they are carrying bright long knives in their hands. The people panicked and ran around, making the crowd more and more crowded. The cry of children, the sound of people being tripped and cursed, and the sound of killers cutting their skin with knives.
"My God!" Tonger's face turned blue: "Someone has killed someone!"
"Don't be afraid," Jiang Li said calmly: "The city garrison is nearby, and they will rush over as soon as they hear something." As soon as the voice fell, their own carriage stopped and did not move anymore. At the same time, there was a scream from the coachman.
Tonger was trembling with fright, but still reached out to protect Jiang Li behind her, Bai Xue said: "Girl, we can't stay in the carriage, the carriage in the house is too conspicuous, let's avoid..."
The carriage curtain was suddenly lifted, and a strange middle-aged man suddenly appeared in front of him, with a fierce look in his eyes, holding a machete, and stepping into the carriage. Tonger screamed, pushed Jiang Li off the carriage, and greeted him up. The knife swung over, and Jiang Li only saw Tong'er's arm move forward, and a ray of blood blurred her eyes. Bai Xue was tall and blocked the door, saying: "Girl run first! Go and hide next to you!"
The person's eyes flashed, and when Jiang Li and the scimitar man looked at each other, Jiang Li suddenly understood that this person was coming for her! She glanced at Bai Xue and Tong'er who were still in the carriage, and the man really left Bai Xue and Tong'er and came to her side. Jiang Li gritted his teeth and turned and ran into the crowd.
The crowd was full of ghosts crying and howling, and the ground was full of blood that was trampled on, it was like hell on earth.
The city garrison arrived soon, but at the moment of a stick of incense, those people immediately threw off their scimitars and quickly got away. Because they were wearing ordinary people’s clothes, it was difficult to distinguish clearly. At this moment, people were everywhere again, for a while. After a while, these city garrisons were helpless with them and watched them disappear into the crowd. It was so easy to catch a person who was committing an attack before he had just been subdued. Before he could be escorted for interrogation, the person suddenly gritted his teeth, a trace of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth, and fell slowly, losing his breath.
It was a dead man who had hidden poison in his teeth. Once caught, he would bite through the wax pill and kill himself. No one could tell the truth about them.
"What's the matter?" The city garrison headed by them was furious: "No one can catch them! Since these people are dead, how can they harm ordinary people for no reason!"
The men next to him asked: "Could it be Xirong..."
"Impossible! The Xirong people were driven to the depths of the desert by General Jinwu, and now they can’t make it into the climate. How come they come to Yanjing City! And the people have also said that these people seem to be Beiyan people. You can see how it is easy to get mixed up in the crowd!"
"Anyway, my lord, it's important to appease the people first," the subordinate said.
There were crying everywhere. The people walked on the street well today, and even street vendors and idlers drinking tea in the tea shop. Inexplicably, such a group of people hacked and killed. Just for a while, I don't know how many lives were lost. There are many others who have separated from their relatives in the chaos. A mother with disheveled hair ran away and lost a shoe, but she couldn't care about it right now, crying while crying the child's name.
Tonger fell to the side of the carriage, and the moment the assassin rushed into the carriage, Tonger blocked the knife swiping at Jiang Li with his arm. The wound was still bleeding at the moment, and Bai Xue pulled off the corners of her skirt and bandaged her. Tonger fainted in pain. Bai Xue put Tong'er in a safer place for the time being. There were people from the city garrison watching, and nothing could go wrong. However, she herself was still thinking about Jiang Li, not knowing where Jiang Li was now.
The city garrison was already standing here, and the uninjured people went home immediately, and the injured were taken to a nearby hospital. Only those who have lost or separated from their relatives remain where they are. But there are a lot fewer people than at the beginning, at least at first glance it doesn't seem to be unclear who is who.
As Bai Xue walked, she looked around. She didn't dare to call Jiang Li's name, so she said loudly, "Girl! Girl!"
There are also many people who are similar to her, so her cry is not the most conspicuous. But with such a short street, if Jiang Li escapes, it is impossible to leave here, and Bai Xue's voice will definitely be heard. Moreover, the Jiang family’s carriage was still in place. Although the coachman was dead, Jiang Li would find the carriage as soon as he saw it.
But... No, there is no answer from Jiang Li.
Bai Xue didn't give up and called twice again. For a while, there were almost no people except the families of those who died. Even if they were separated from their relatives, they also found their relatives. Bai Xue's appearance attracted the attention of the officers and soldiers. A little guard asked Bai Xue: "Girl, who are you looking for?"
"My lady..." Bai Xue said anxiously: "She... She was also in the crowd just now and we were separated. Brother, can you help me find it?"
The little officer said: "This street has been searched, and all the missing people have been found. You mean, your lady hasn't found it yet? Your lady is..."
"Have you looked for it?" Bai Xue felt cold in her heart and couldn't help taking two steps back.
…
Ye Mingyu started to keep the kitchen ladies in the house busy early in the morning.
Since yesterday, the shoppers have begun to figure out what good food they are going to do today. Every time Jiang Li came, Ye Mingyu always wanted to find the best things he could bring to Jiang Li. Although there are no women in Ye Mansion, there is still one cook. Appetite is a major event in life. Besides, when they teach him to come to Yanjing City, they have to take good care of his nephew, right
And their family is not bad at money, there are so many.
The table is already full of a dazzling array of meals, I don't know, I thought which old lady's birthday feast was so good. Ye Shijie also returned to the house, Haitang helped Xue Huaiyuan walk out.
Ye Shijie asked, "Has Jiang Li not come yet?"
Ashun shook his head: "The concierge is guarding, it hasn't moved yet."
"Strange," Ye Mingyu said, "Ali, this girl is the most punctual, and I'm afraid we waited for her. Why is it so long today? If you wait any longer, the food will be cold."
"Isn't something wrong?" Ye Shijie frowned.
"Bah, baah," Ye Mingyu knocked on his head, "Is there anyone who said that about your cousin? Besides, what is this place, Yanjing City, at the foot of the emperor, your cousin is the eldest lady of the Jiang family, what else can you do? What's the matter? Is it possible to be abducted by someone?"
"There are bandits in Yanjing, too." Haitang couldn't help but said.
"What bandit, our family is the biggest bandit. Who dares to bandit us? What is this not a gangster? Who dares to bandit us, that is Tai Sui's head breaking the ground, I Ye Lao San gave an order, brothers in the whole rivers and lakes Can help me..."
"Okay, okay," Ye Shijie couldn't listen, interrupted him, and asked: "Why don't you find someone to go to Jiang's house and ask if something has happened to Jiang Li and can't come."
Ye Mingyu's expression also became nervous when he heard the words, "It's possible that the Jiang family's house is so messy. Could it be that Ali was bullied at Jiang's house again? Or I'll go and see, I'm not worried."
After he finished speaking, Ashun, who was squatting at the door, suddenly went back and said, "Master, there is someone from the Jiang family!"
He was talking about "Jiang Family" instead of "Miss Jiang Er". The few people at the table were all startled, which meant that Jiang Liguo really couldn't come. Could it be that something happened
Ashun took the Jiang’s little boy into the house. The little boy seemed to have arrived in a hurry. There was dust on his clothes. He seemed to have fallen on the road a few times. His face was sweaty, and he opened his mouth when he saw someone. : "Master Ye San, there is something wrong with our lady, she can't come!"
"Something happened?" Several people in the room were startled, and Xue Huaiyuan frowned.
"What's the matter?" Ye Mingyu said gruffly: "Jiang Yuanbai bullied her again?"
Ye Mingyu is from the rivers and lakes. When facing Jiang Li, he smiled. When facing other people, the banditry showed up. The scar on his face also made people feel jealous.
The young man shook his head repeatedly: "No, no. It was the second lady who came to Yefu in a carriage this morning. There was an incident of bandit murder on the way. Miss was lost in the chaos, and now I can’t find it. Master is crazy right now. Now, I am looking for officers and soldiers to search the entire Yanjing City!"
"What!" Ye Shijie also stood up.
"What incident of bandit murder?" Xue Huaiyuan asked.
The young man said: "The little one doesn't know much. I heard that half an hour ago, on the road not far from here, a group of people suddenly appeared. The group of people dressed in ordinary people's clothes mixed in the crowd and shouted. Called to kill, killed more than a dozen people, finally caught a murderer, and swallowed the poison. The young one heard people say that those people were dead, but I don't know what they are here for."
Xue Huaiyuan asked again: "How many people are missing like Miss Jiang?"
Xiao Si's face was extremely ugly: "There is only our lady."
As soon as these words came out, several people in the room looked different, Ye Mingyu pulled out the knife in his waist anxiously, and cursed: "Mother! A Li, this girl won't be taken away by others!"
"Not good." The speaker was Xue Huaiyuan, and all the people in the room looked at him. Xue Huaiyuan said solemnly, "These people are dead men, they must have come with a purpose. But I heard people say that they were just hurt. Ordinary people, if they want to disturb the hearts of the people, they can wear more scary clothing, causing more casualties, and then committing suicide. But they have to mix with ordinary people, which can be seen to facilitate escape. It means that they are still in order to achieve their goals. From beginning to end, only Miss Jiang was missing, indicating that their target was Miss Jiang, and they came for her. The dozen or so people who died were just a pretense of sacrifice in order to take her away."
Xue Huaiyuan's voice was very gentle, not rushing, but what he said was frightening. Ye Mingyu frowned and said, "Isn't it? Ali is Jiang Yuanbo's daughter. Who would dare to deliberately confront Jiang Yuanbo in Yanjing City?"
Ye Shijie said, "Mr. Xue is right."
"Is Miss Jiang really dangerous? Who would do it?" Haitang couldn't help asking.
"In the city of Yanjing, there are very few people who dare to do anything to Jiang’s family. In fact, it’s easy to guess. In all likelihood, it’s either Liu Taifei or Cheng Wang. Of course, there may be a right-hand side, but the right-hand side has no reason to target Jiang Li. A girl, so Princess Liu and Cheng Wang are most suspicious." Ye Shijie said.
Xue Huaiyuan nodded: "Not bad."
"Wang Cheng and Concubine Liu? Is there any evidence that I can ask them to settle accounts directly?" Ye Mingyu couldn't wait.
"This is just our guess, Master Ye." Xue Huaiyuan said: "The most important thing now is to find the whereabouts of Ms. Jiang, not revenge. The Jiang family is very powerful in Yanjing City. In order to ensure safety, they will definitely find a way to take Jiang The girl was sent out of the city. I think I should cross-examine the passing people carefully at the city gate."
Ye Mingyu carried the knife on his back: "I'll call the brothers over!"
"I'll go out and have a look." Ye Shijie said, "I also know a few people on the city defense side. I'll talk to them. Mr. Xue, please stay in the mansion. Once you get any news, please ask Mr. Xue to sit down." Ye Shijie Confessed.
"Okay." Xue Huaiyuan replied, "Please be careful about everything."
