"Please punish Your Highness!"

As soon as the five words came out, the Menyang City guard woke up from the blood in front of him.

The dull gaze swept over everyone present, and when he saw Xu Heng standing quietly behind Jiang Zuo, an eager look suddenly appeared in his eyes, and he desperately threw himself at Xu Heng, crying and wailing: "I know my mistake, I confess, I confess, my lordship, envoy! The princess of the rivers and lakes is the one I asked for the people in the rivers and lakes to pretend to be in order to swallow that tribute, I admit that I confess that I can do anything except don't kill me, I just ask you to save me, Lord Envoy......"

The Menyang City guard lay on Xu Heng's lap and cried for a long time, but he didn't see any reaction from Xu Heng, and the man in Xuanyi was still standing quietly in place, looking ahead, like a puppeteer, without any expression. And Yu Dayou finally realized that the envoy was unable to protect himself, so he turned his gaze to the others present, and all he gained was a cold gaze.

Knowing that he was already in a catastrophe, the city guard trembled his lips and his heart was like ashes.

At the same time, the leader of the Caizi Guard waved his hand at his subordinates, and a man in black stepped out with a narrow knife and walked towards the stunned city guard.

"Hey," the princess retracted her gaze, looked up at the dark sky, sighed, and suddenly felt very tired, "Forget it, read that he contributed a million silver taels to this princess."

The leader was still staring at the Menyang City Guard, unconcerned about the master who was giving orders in front of him. The order was ignored, and the princess was a little displeased, and turned her stern gaze to her disobedient subordinates: "Guan Hu, I'll let you go,"

Before the princess finished speaking, the leader of Caiziwei had already said coldly: "Do it!"

The knife fell, a head fell to the ground, blood spurted out, and it was scattered in the wind, bringing a trace of blood to the heavens and the earth.

"Guan Hu!" The princess of the rivers and lakes was furious, slapped in the air, the wind was stagnant at this moment, and the leader of Caiziwei suddenly flew out of thin air and fell to the ground, blood spraying wildly, "I let you let him go, I didn't let you kill him!"

The princess was furious, and a hundred people bowed their heads, but no one dared to look at her.

The seriously injured Guan Hu seemed to have just woken up from a big dream, and when he changed his appearance, he was cold, got up and kowtowed desperately on the ground to ask for guilt: "The name of the subordinate guardian princess is very confused, I heard the wrong princess's order, and I missed it for a while, please punish His Royal Highness!"

Guan Hu's words of defense were very weak, the two of them were less than a foot apart, how could they have misheard the princess's order? But looking at his state at this time, it didn't look like he had to take his head.

Obviously, he was full of toughness just now, but after a little punishment, he confessed in a blink of an eye, how stupid is this person?

How did such a person get mixed up with the position of a chief?

Yang Shen was puzzled in his heart, but in the afterglow, he found the young man in Xuanyi standing beside him in a daze, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Huh?"

The princess of Jianghu has never been a cold-hearted person, although she was annoyed with her subordinate Guan Hu's self-assertion, but seeing his desperate confession under his serious injury, her heart softened again, coupled with the words from Jiang Zuo behind her, she waved her hand in frustration and let the leader go.

Caiziwei packed up the body of the Menyang City Guard and left quietly.

After this place was empty, the princess of the rivers and lakes turned around and looked at Xu Heng with an angry face: "I was kind enough to save your life, and you even attacked my subordinates?!

The young man in Xuanyi who was questioned put away his Mu Ran expression, resumed his usual smile, first saluted, and then got up and slowly explained: "I just let the princess see the true face of your subordinates. ”

"The true face?" The princess was stunned, and looked down at the bloodstains left on the ground by Menyang City, "This princess doesn't need you to help see it clearly, the true face of her subordinates, this princess naturally knows!"

"Does the princess know the true colors, including deceiving His Highness, lying about refugees, killing innocents indiscriminately, being insatiable, and shameless?"

The other party's determined expression shook the girl, the princess's delicate brows twisted, turned her head to look at Jiang Zuo, and then turned to Xu Heng: "Why should this princess believe your words?! You are the one who was ordered to arrest this princess!"

Although the words of the princess of the rivers and lakes were harsh, there was already a loosening in them. What Fang Cai's subordinates did did make her suspicious, suspicious, and many details that she hadn't noticed in the past were remembered by her one by one, so there were more and more suspicions.

Knowing that his offensive had already worked, Xu Heng said with a straight face: "Please move to Xianyang Mountain and wait and see the changes in Xianyangfu." ”

……

The hundreds of people retreated, the princess of the rivers and lakes left, and the county magistrate's mansion became empty in the blink of an eye.

The wind was howling, the night was dark, and it was supposed to be the time to sleep peacefully in bed, but someone was trudging in the wind.

I left in a hurry in the afternoon, and it wasn't until the evening that Ban Zhengye came to his senses and noticed that something was wrong. He didn't know where the henchmen and masters sent by the adults were wrong, and he was always uneasy anyway.

Thinking several times about the scene when they met at noon, he couldn't find any flaws. So he repeatedly hinted that he would be fine, as long as this night passed, Lord Yu shipped the goods out, and he could return to his mansion and continue to be his county magistrate.

In this way, he lay down on the bed and fell asleep slowly, until midnight, when he was awakened by the howling of the wind.

In the darkness, he groped his way to his feet, closed the blown window, and lay back on the bed. The wife next to him didn't notice anything, and still slept soundly, but he couldn't sleep anymore.

Just stared at the head of the bed.

After staring for a long time, a muffled thunder suddenly sounded between the heavens and the earth, as if the heavens and the earth were bursting, and the downpour followed.

Ban Zhengye was startled by the thunder, and suddenly remembered that the doors and windows of many rooms in the house did not seem to be closed tightly, and among them there was a county treasury, which stored some important classics in the county. You can't just get wet.

He suddenly regretted that he hadn't taken into account the possibility of heavy rain when he left.

I couldn't sleep anymore, Ban Zhengye sat up on the bed, calculated the time, and estimated that it was almost half of the ugly time, if you want to transport the car, it is estimated that it has been transported away, if it has not been transported, it will not be transported away in such a heavy rain.

I simply went back and closed the doors and windows, and it was fine.

As soon as he thought of this, he felt more and more necessary, he pushed his wife beside him, and he couldn't wake up, so he groped his way up again, found the oil-paper umbrella, and opened the door and rushed out.

He and his wife lived in the main room, and the servants were arranged in the wings, and they hesitated at the door, looked at the dark wings, and decided not to need the help of the servants.

There are many people, and the fewer people who know about that batch of goods, the better.

The rain was pouring down, the wind was pulling, and in just a few steps, Ban Zhengye walked extremely hard. The paper umbrella could barely cover the upper half of the body, and most of the clothes were soaked.

A man in black walked out of the doorway, holding a narrow knife, his eyes were cold, and he stood straight in the storm, unmoved by the wind and rain.

Ban Zhengye met him, was stunned for a moment, and after reacting, he threw away the oil-paper umbrella and turned around and ran.

There was only one thought in his mind at the moment: run!

Run!

He didn't have time to think about why Lord Yu sent the killer, but he knew-
