Following the sound, I saw Ye Xiaoyu riding on a horse, galloping towards here, and on both sides of the horse, there were two boxes of pastries left by the Zhou family in the shop.

The man in black was about to feed Lin Wushou's hand with poison, but it stopped because of the sudden sound.

"Help!!"

Three sober men began to shout.

They thought it was a guard from a yamen patrolling by.

But when he got closer and found that it was Ye Xiaoyu, the hope that had just soared was instantly shattered. A weak woman, appearing at this time, is just one more person to send to death.

"Stop—"

Ye Xiaoyu finally rode her horse and stopped not far in front, although she would not die without help, she didn't dare to get too close.

"Master Zhou, Master Lin, two sons, you ......"

Seeing that all four of them were lying on the ground, Ye Xiaoyu suddenly had an extremely bad premonition.

"You hold on a little longer, and the catch will be there soon."

Riding on the horse, Ye Xiaoyu began to bluff.

"Who are you?!"

The man in black had been squatting on the ground since just now, maintaining his original position and not moving. Didn't even lift his head.

"Xiaoyu, leave him alone, this person is very dangerous, he is about to kill my father now, and he wants to kill us all!! ――”

Zhou Ming said loudly.

Zhou Yifu's injury was too serious, he helped him for a long time before he barely helped him up, but he didn't take two steps, but he fell to the ground with him.

"Miss Ye, you hurry up."

Zhou Yifu said weakly.

His right leg and right hand are now in terrible pain. It hurts to even catch your breath.

Ye Xiaoyu knew that she should leave quickly at this time, but it was another matter if she didn't meet them, since she had met them, she had no way to do it if she wanted her to leave them behind and walk away by herself.

"You ......"

It seems that he also senses the danger, and since just now, Xiaobai has been walking around constantly, unable to stabilize his pace. Ye Xiaoyu rode on it, staggering, and was about to ask a few questions to delay time. The man in black who had been stiff and motionless. But when she opened her mouth to say the first word, she suddenly stood up, and then in the blink of an eye, she jumped onto the eaves next to her. Quickly disappear into the darkness. Only the sound of tiles rubbing against each other remained.

Xiaobai also suddenly became agitated. Raising his front hooves and hissing hard, Ye Xiaoyu sat on it. Being moved by it like this, the whole person did not stabilize his body and fell off the horse.

Xiaobai broke free from the reins and quickly ran forward, also disappearing into the twilight.

"Xiaobai—"

Ye Xiaoyu got up from the ground, patted the dust on his body, and shouted angrily. Is there any mistake? Ran again.

"How are you guys? Can you get up? ”

Because there were still four wounded people lying around, although he was very worried about Xiaobai, Ye Xiaoyu was not good at leaving these four people.

"I can't die yet."

Lin Zucheng moved and stood up from the ground.

He didn't suffer any other injuries except for being hit a few times in a row, and the most worrying thing now was not him, but his father Lin Wushou, who was lying there and had fainted.

"Daddy, Daddy......"

finally sat up with his body propped up, but because he couldn't stand up, he could only drag his broken leg and crawl in the direction of Lin Wushou.

"Dad, you lie down first, and I'll help you up in another way."

Zhou Ming's voice was also heard not far away.

However, compared to Lin Wushou, Zhou Yifu's injury is much lighter, at least he is still conscious.

"Master Lin, Master Lin......"

Ye Xiaoyu also squatted down beside Lin Wushou, because she didn't dare to reach out and shake it, she could only call softly like this. Subconsciously probed his snort with his hand, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, this person is still alive.

Although I don't know why the man in black suddenly stopped and left just now, but before that, judging from his actions, he was indeed going to kill Lin Wushou, but I don't know what the reason was why he gave up such a good opportunity.

"My dad ......"

Lin Zucheng also moved to the side, and was looking at Ye Xiaoyu with a frightened expression at this time.

"He's still alive, presumably seriously injured and fainted."

Sighing, Ye Xiaoyu said.

One person fainted, and the other three all suffered fractures from different Cheng dù, and it seemed that the matter of calling someone to help her could only fall on her.

"You take care of each other first, and I'll go to the Lin Mansion to call someone."

Xiaobai ran away, and the carriage here was all split in half, and now she could only run all the way.

"My house is just around the corner in front."

Lin Zucheng said, his eyes full of gratitude.

The situation was urgent, and Ye Xiaoyu didn't have the heart to be polite to these people, so after explaining, he turned around and ran to the front. I hope the black-clad killer won't turn back again, at least, not so quickly.

Rongzhou City North District Wharf.

Even in the winter, even if it is freezing cold, the work of the porters will not be suspended. As long as the ships are carried, as long as there are people unloading at the docks, they have to get up early and work late at night.

So even in the middle of the night, there are still oil lamps lit everywhere here, and the pillars of the piers and the masts of the fishing boats really give people the illusion of a night market if it is not too strong with the smell of fish.

In the corner covered by the suitcase, one person and one horse were speechless.

The man in black has changed out of his black clothes and put on a light blue short suit, and his face is not covered with a black cloth, and the angular outline makes the original handsome appearance a little more chilly.

The boy is still the same boy he used to be, he hasn't changed, but the people and things around him have all changed.

"Why are you coming with you again?"

Looking at the white horse that he once loved the most, he was sunny and helpless.

The horse wagged its tail and let out a few snorts from its nose in response to his displeasure.

"Go back, don't let anyone look for it."

Reaching out and patting the horse's back, Sunny seemed to be talking to himself.

I didn't want to borrow someone else's hand. But the assassination failed, and it seems that he still can't be completely cold-blooded.

The heavy snow in the north closed the road, and this year, it can only be spent in Rongzhou.

The so-called "not far" in Lin Zucheng's mouth made Ye Xiaoyu run three alleys in a row before he saw the two lacquered gold characters of "Lin Mansion". Sure enough, in the eyes of the two kinds of people who go out to ride a carriage and go out to walk, the distance is different.

Although the process was tortuous, Ye Xiaoyu still called the subordinates of the Lin Mansion, and together with the Lin family's wife, he used four big carriages to finally send the four people back to their respective mansions safely.

After these people left. Ye Xiaoyu, who was standing in place, only found out. Xiaobai ran away, and he had to go through a sad "search journey" again.

"Xiaobai—"

Ye Xiaoyu stood in place and looked up to the sky and shouted.

Her home is on West Street, which is the North End of East Street, so she can walk on her own. She was almost at dawn before she got home.

Heavens, earth!!

Ye Xiaoyu felt that she was really unlucky to get home.

Suddenly, there was the sound of horses' hooves.

"Small-white!!"

A white horse that catches your eye. made Ye Xiaoyu's whole world light up.

"I knew it. You're definitely going to come back to me on your own. ”

"You have the most conscience......"

"I'll add some delicious fresh forage to you when I go back......"

"You were absolutely frightened by that black-clad killer, right? This is because there is a reason for this, so I won't blame you for the time being, if you run like this again next time. Then don't think about me giving you something to eat......"

Ye Xiaoyu rode on horseback, swaying, babbling all the way.

"Who told you to do this?"

In the cell, Zou Yu sat in front of the interrogation table, silently looking at the cell head with his hands chained.

The cell leader's name is Qin Awu, who moved to Rongzhou with his parents in his early years, and is also half a local.

"Lord Zou, I have said everything that should be said, this is all my personal grudge, and there is really no one to instruct me."

Qin Awu raised his head, and on his black face, there was only a pair of eyes left that were still godly.

"A personal vendetta?"

Zou Yu repeated.

"It's a personal grudge, the thing is what I said in court, these ten people rely on their own stinky money, and they usually don't treat others as human beings, and after being imprisoned, it's the same, they have no remorse at all, and the reason why I made mistakes is because I was forced to be anxious by these people......"

Qin Awu hung his head and said.

After going to court that day, he had already received the news, and the other party promised that as long as he didn't bite to death, all his family members would be taken care of, and he would get a sum of money that would not be used up for several lifetimes. Anyway, if he doesn't recruit this crime, it's death, and he might as well let his family get more benefits and live a good life.

"Your family ......"

Zou Yu said lightly.

"My lord, this has nothing to do with my family, this is completely my own ......"

As soon as he heard "family", Qin Awu's expression became nervous.

"You're going to be wrong."

Looking at Qin Awu, Zou Yu said.

"Of course, I know that this matter has nothing to do with your family, and the reason why I mention them is because I have news for you."

"Message? What's the news?! ”

Qin Awu raised his head and asked.

"Tie Yi—"

Zou Yu motioned to the guard Tie Yi standing next to him.

"This morning, someone came to Yamen to report the case, saying that all 12 members of a family in the North District were killed, and none of them were spared."

Tie Yi spread out the booklet in his hand and said with a stern face.

"North District? Twelve? ……”

Qin Awu raised his head violently, and the iron chain tied to his hand made a dull sound due to his pulling.

"According to our verification, this specific place is in the area of Longwan in the North District, and the murdered family is all surnamed Qin."

"Surname Qin? That's impossible...... It's absolutely impossible...... It must have been a lie that you made up to get me to confess...... I won't believe it......"

Qin Awu raised his head, his eyes full of panic.

All 12 members of the family were killed?

How is this possible?

The other party had obviously promised that day, and besides, didn't he keep his promise all the time?!

"Why are we lying to you?"

Zou Yu asked expressionlessly.

Although according to the current situation in the imperial court, he had long been clear in his heart who the other party was, but such a murderous method still frightened him. (To be continued......)
