The rain threads also appear to be black.
The water and the sky meet, and in the dark sky, the fishing fire is bright and dark, like a ghost from the other side. The last chords dissipated, and the night became extraordinarily quiet.
At this moment, a woman's scream cut through the long night.
"Kill, kill—"
Gathered in a few boats in the distance of the painting boat, the guards were sitting together, waiting for Fan Cheng's signal, and suddenly they heard the mournful howl, and they were all stunned.
"What's going on? It's been so long, why are you still making trouble?" the headed guard asked.
"Young master didn't send a letter, let's wait." Someone said.
After being Fan Cheng's bodyguard for so many years, the most important thing is to speculate on the master's mind. This kind of thing is normal. Fan Cheng has been the young master of the Fan family for so many years. In addition to the women he posted, there are not a few good family members who have ruined them. This situation has happened more than once. Abduct those poor women to boats or outhouses, and let Fancheng bully them. After the event is completed, I will give some money. Those women are from poor families and have nowhere to complain, so they can only forget it.
He Yan will also be one of them.
Originally, Miss He had a deep love for Fan Chengyi, so she didn't need to be so troublesome. Who would have known that such a commotion after passing by Fan's house would really move her temper, and she wanted to make a clean break with Fan Cheng. However, Fan Cheng was aroused, and if he couldn't be soft, he would be hard.
What these guards have to do is to bring He Yan to Fan Cheng and deal with the aftermath.
"I don't think it's right." The leading guard stood up and looked out from the bow, only to see Fan Cheng's boat swaying violently in the river.
"No, there is a problem!" he shouted, "Get up! Hurry up, there is something different on the boat!"
The rest of the people were all startled, and quickly rowed the boat towards the boat, only to get close to some distance. Suddenly they saw a woman running out of the boat. The woman stumbled and moved in panic. As if avoiding someone, screamed and fell into the river.
The torrential river water quickly drowned her, making almost no sound, like a stone, only a cluster of water splashes on the water surface, and there was no movement.
"Sir!" the guard couldn't help calling.
No one cared about He Yan's life and death. When the boat was about to approach the boat, the headed guard swept across the bow of the boat and climbed onto the boat. He took a few steps into the boat, but when he saw in the boat, someone turned his back to him, it was a man, his face was covered with sweat towels, only his eyes were exposed, and his face was blurred under the dim light. And at his feet, Fan Cheng lay on his back and fell in a pool of blood.
The masked man held a dagger in his hand.
The guards were horrified, not expecting when there would be such a person in the boat. Looking at Fan Cheng again, I'm afraid that there will be more luck and less luck. I was shocked and angry for a while, and without thinking, I rushed towards the masked man: "Er dare!"
The masked man sneered and fought with the guards.
The sound of fighting sounded in the middle of the boat, the boat shook more and more violently, and the rest of the guards also caught up to the boat. When the masked man saw that the other party was crowded, he stopped fighting and slashed the guard as a long sword, without thinking about it. jumping into the river.
"Catch him!" the guard leader shouted, "He killed the son!"
Everyone followed, but found that the masked man was very cunning. The guards all got on this boat. They thought he was jumping into the river, but he got on the boat they just came.
This is the center of the river, although some people can swim, but the night is too dark, it is inevitable to encounter danger. But the boat was light and thin, and it rowed very fast along the current. The boat was a little heavier, and even a few people paddled together and fell half a step behind the masked man.
One after another, in the drizzle, no one saw Jiang Zhong's escape.
When he was about to reach the shore, the masked man threw the wooden oar in his hand, pointed his toes, jumped up to the river bank, and disappeared on the shore, the guard leader said: "Leave two people to go to the city to guard, and the rest follow me! "
Although it was night, it was not late at night. There were still hawkers doing business on both sides of the Chunlai River, but when they saw a masked man running from the pier, he came in a hurry and bumped into countless stalls. A group of guards, murderous and terrifying.
"What happened? Why are you in such a hurry." The hawker who was knocked over didn't dare to say more, and bent over to pick up the fruits scattered on the ground.
"It seems that there is a murder case, and the people who are chasing them are not ordinary people."
"God is pitiful, why is it so unhappy recently."
…
The water by the river had a fishy smell, and a hand suddenly stretched out from the water, first grabbing the stones on the bank, and then the whole person pulled up from the water, carrying the fishy smell of water all over him.
He Yunsheng was trembling all over, he didn't dare to move too early, he was discovered, and after diving for a long time, he quietly swam downstream. At this moment, his face was pale and his lips were black and purple. I don't know if the river was too cold for a long time, or he was simply afraid.
He was still holding a basket tightly in his hand, which contained the clothes He Yan brought him in the tailor's shop. It was a basket for snacks on the boat. He Yan put his clothes in and covered them. The clothes were clean and not soaked in water. He took off the woman's clothes, and threw it into a basket in a ball, tied a few heavier stones to the basket, and threw the basket into the river.
The river engulfed the basket in an instant.
He put on the new spring shirt, which fit well, and the style was very beautiful. He also had the same color head, which was just enough to hide the wet hair. He was dressed and his throat choked up.
However, there was no extra time to frighten him here, and He Yan's words were still in his ears.
"You have to change into clean clothes and sneak home, so you have to hurry."
Must be fast.
He staggered, took a small path, and walked quickly in the direction of home.
There seemed to be a city garrison catching people everywhere in the city. He Yunsheng was walking when he heard someone talking on the street.
"I heard that someone killed someone on the boat on the river. It was a tragic death."
"Who?"
"I don't know, it's the young master of a big family. Didn't you see the city guards looking for people everywhere?"
"With so many people, the murderer must have no escape, and maybe they have already been caught. Oops, it's raining endlessly, and the clothes are all wet."
The chatter faded away until it was no longer heard.
Faster, faster.
The youth in green shirts and hooded heads hurried past the street. His spring shirts were still thin, so he probably felt cold on such a rainy day.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and pedestrians on the street without umbrellas hurried to take shelter from the rain. The peddler hid under the eaves, shouting loudly to pedestrians passing by and taking a look. There seems to be no difference between tonight and last night.
"Sister..." Someone whispered to himself, like the wind of a spring night, falling in the drizzle without a trace.
The young man buried his head and walked forward, without looking back, tears fell rushingly.
