Outside the city gate, the place where the coffin is placed is quite conspicuous because of the blood seeping, and ordinary people also walk around because of taboo. This summer, he squatted down next to the blood stains, dipped his fingers in the bloody dust, rubbed it carefully, and frowned, "This person will not be dead for more than three hours."
Yang Yue measured the size of the coffin from the traces on the ground.
The end of the coffin has the most bloodstains, and there are deep marks on the ground. Walking around this summer, I picked up a horseshoe from somewhere.
"The coffin wasn't carried over, it was pushed down from the carriage." This summer pointed to the deep marks on the ground and said to Yang Yue, "Judging from the bloodstains, so much blood can be shed, it should have been dragged by the person as soon as he died. With the carriage The distance of the murder is no more than two miles away from here, Dayang, let's go and have a look."
Yang Yue hurriedly held her back: "Let's report to Lord Lu first."
"It's just two miles away. Let's go over and take a sneak peek, and then come back and report. If the Japanese pirates have already left and let them run away in vain, wouldn't it be to blame us for a lot of trouble? They fought."
Yang Yue had nothing to do with her, sighed and said, "... Another look."
He dragged him away this summer, and raised the horseshoe in his hand: "Dayang, you also pay attention to the ground. It is a two-wheeled carriage. When the coffin was unloaded, the carriage leaned back and the horses kicked their legs. The rear shoe fell off."
The two followed the intermittent clues on the loess road, and went southeast to catch up. Sure enough, they saw a village within two miles.
A very ordinary village, the smoke of cooking in twos and threes, the barking of chickens and dogs, the farmhouses who go to the well to fetch water, and the children chasing and playing on the road, everything is very ordinary.
"It's not like there are Japanese pirates here." Yang Yuechao whispered this summer, "Would you follow the wrong car and go astray?"
This Xia frowned, and then checked the ruts and horseshoes on the ground: "You can't be wrong, it must be this carriage."
The rut finally turned into a farmhouse. She looked in through the fence and saw the carriage, a maroon horse quietly grazing in the stable, with no shoe on its left hind hoof.
A middle-aged peasant woman came out of the house, saw Jin Xia and Yang Yue looking inside, and asked curiously, "Miss, are you okay?"
Seeing this peasant woman, Yang Yue was more and more sure that he had made a mistake. Pulling this summer to leave, he smiled at the peasant woman: "It's okay, it's okay."
"Sister-in-law, I picked up a horseshoe. I don't know if it's yours."
He refused to leave this summer and smiled at the peasant woman.
The peasant woman was taken aback: "Horseshoes?"
"Yeah, see if your horse has lost a shoe." This summer, he went around the fence gate and raised the shoe to show her.
The peasant woman didn't even look at it, she waved her hand and said, "It's not my family, you can go."
"Let's go, let's go..." Yang Yue also dragged this summer away.
This summer, he didn't insist any longer, and followed Yang Yue obediently. After walking away for more than ten steps, he secretly exhaled and whispered: "Dayang, you also found something wrong?"
Yang Yue didn't even move his lips when he spoke: "When you were asking questions, there were people looking out from three or four rooms around to look at it. This is a den of thieves. Let's go quickly."
"This village has all the old, weak, women and children. How can there be so many Japanese pirates hiding?" I couldn't understand this summer.
"Don't think about it, do you hear footsteps behind you?"
"There must be seven or eight, right?" Although she was still walking slowly this summer, she felt a chill on her back. In front of her, several peasant women were quickly carrying away the children who were playing on the road, "This is to be silenced. Stance, let's fight, or run?"
"You have to go back and report the letter." Yang Yue said.
The two looked at each other with a tacit understanding, and at the same time sprinted.
They ran out less than a few feet, when a hidden weapon shot through the air, both of them were forced to stop, and several people behind them had already caught up.
Standing back to back with Yang Yue this summer, three people in the front are good at hidden weapons, and seven people in the back stand with knives, "I want to run!" One of them said viciously, "Kill them!"
"Wait!" The person who looked like a small boss stopped and shouted to them this summer, "How did you find this place? Did you attract the officers and soldiers?"
"Brother, no matter if you attract officers or soldiers, you have to kill them."
The little leader raised his hand: "No hurry, they can't escape horizontally and vertically, ask first."
This summer, I tried to figure out what he meant. I didn't understand whether I planned to let them go after I asked them clearly, or killed them after I asked them clearly
"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, a misunderstanding!" This summer accompanied him with a smile.
"Why, do you have to see some blood to tell the truth?" The little leader gave a wink, and the person who was good at hidden weapons shook his hand, and shot three hidden weapons from the bottom of his sleeves, which were divided into three ways: Jinxia and Yang Yue. The two of them spun away.
As he turned around, Yang Yue's waist showed the six-door-making card, which was caught in the eyes of the little boss, and said fiercely: "So you are from the government! Then you don't have to be polite to you anymore, kill!"
"Wait a minute!" Jin Xia said sharply, "In order to avenge Wang Zhi's revenge, you kidnapped Xia Zheng and dismembered him. Do you think Governor Hu will let you go! A large number of officers and soldiers will arrive immediately!" She wanted them to have So afraid, leave quickly so that she and Yang Yue can get away.
The little leader sneered: "Dudu Hu sent Xia Zheng over that day, so he should have thought of today. He killed the old ship owner, do you still want his adopted son to come back alive!"
Xia was sent to the Japanese pirates by Hu Zongxian? ! This summer is stunned.
"Go! Kill them, so as not to go back and report!" The little leader waved his hand.
The knifeman slashed forward, avoided it sideways this summer, grabbed the opponent's wrist, and tried to grab the knife. These people are not == not martial arts masters, and they don't have any tricks to make moves, but they are very stable in the bottom line and have great strength, probably because they are at sea all year round. This summer, he was hit by his elbow and hit him in the chest. He suddenly felt suffocated, but he still held his breath and pressed his hand on his numb muscle, and just grabbed the knife.
Yang Yue also grabbed the knife and kicked the two over with flying legs.
This summer, Yang Yue quickly exchanged glances, and attacked the little boss in unison. When the thief is caught, the king is captured first, and the small leader is taken. Only when they are afraid can they retreat. And in such close combat, hidden weapons are easy to accidentally hurt, so they wouldn't dare to shoot them easily.
The two knives were able to slash at the little boss, and suddenly an oriental saber stretched out from the side, shining like snow, firmly holding the knives of the two of them. The power is so great that it makes the tiger's mouth feel faintly painful this summer.
Dongying Ronin!
The little leader said a series of Oriental dialects to the Orientals. This summer and Yang Yue didn't understand a word, and they saw the little leader wave his hand. forward.
"He's planning to fight the two of us one-on-one, and he's used to being fat enough." Knowing what kind of swordsmanship these Dongying Langren learned this summer, they ran rampant along the coast and were very arrogant and domineering.
Yang Yue said in a voice that could only be heard in this summer: "There's no need to fight with him, it's important to get out."
"Um… "
The two of them took a stance and prepared to fight against the Dongying Ronin.
The Dongying Ronin slowly paced a few steps with a knife in hand, looking at the two of them as if they were watching a stream of horses and horses that were powerless to resist.
The next moment, Jin Xia threw the horseshoe out without warning, and smashed it in the face of the Oriental. Before he could react, she and Yang Yue flew out.
His face was smashed with blood, and Dongyang was so angry that he screamed, and the little leader was also angry.
This summer, his reaction was fast, he avoided one, blocked one with a knife, but was still shot in the leg by two, and fell to his knees in pain, unable to run again.
The white blade was like a rainbow, and the Toyo knife slashed at her.
in Hangzhou city.
Cen Shou didn't know how many times he walked back and forth in the courtyard. Seeing that he was so restless, Chunyumin couldn't help but said, "I'm fine here, and I'm accompanied by maids and maids. If you have something to do, just do it."
"Miss Chunyu said that, I have nothing to do. The eldest son asked me to take good care of the girl, so I can't neglect it." Cen Shou said hurriedly and politely.
"You... are you worried about Yuan Zhoukuai and them?" Chun Yumin asked speculatively.
It's okay not to mention it, but when I mention Cen Shou, I get annoyed: "The eldest son ordered them to stay in the inn, now it's all right, they disappeared without a trace, the eldest son will come back and ask me how to explain."
Chunyu Min pondered: "I remember Miss Yuan said she would come back after a look. I think the East City Gate is far away, so I haven't come back yet."
"There's no truth in that girl's mouth. She said that she went to the East City Gate to take a look, maybe she went to the West Lake." Cen Shou said angrily.
As he was talking, Lu Yi and Cen Fu came into the courtyard.
"Who went to visit the West Lake?" Cen Fu asked with a smile.
"Yuan..." Cen Shou said hesitantly, "Miss Yuan and Brother Yang have gone out."
"Are they going to visit the West Lake?" Lu Yi asked. He was thinking that it was a rare trip to Hangzhou, and he should take her time to visit the West Lake. Unexpectedly, she slipped away by herself.
"No, they said they were going to take a look outside the city gate, but somehow they didn't come back."
Lu Yi frowned: "When did you leave? Why didn't you stop them?"
"They slipped away while I was going to feed the horses," Cen Shou said wrongly.
Seeing Lu Yi's brows wrinkled, Cen Fu said warmly, "The first time they encountered Hangzhou City, they were young, they liked the freshness and excitement, and it was common to forget the time of day when they went shopping. I'll go look for them along the road now, eldest son. Don't worry too much."
Lu Yi knew this summer very well. Thinking that she almost died in the Peach Blossom Forest, she dared to go inside. If she found any clues outside the city, she would definitely follow it all the way. The only consolation is that, fortunately, Yang Yue is with her, and they can take care of each other if they are in danger.
"Cen Fu, follow me to the East City Gate."
Lu Yi instructed lightly, not bothering to talk to Chunyumin, and turned around and walked out.
Cen Fu gave Cen Shou a reproachful look and hurriedly followed.
