When the carriage came out of the alley, Murong Xiaoyue directly turned the horse's head and let the carriage drive into a place with a large number of people, so that the killers who were chasing them would not dare to be too lawless and swagger through the market.

"There's a lot of people here, so let's get off quickly." Murong Xiaoyue looked back and said to the people in the car.

The three of them quickly dismounted and poured into the bustling flow of people, Zhuge Hanqing looked up at the roof and found that they were still following.

"There's a tavern up ahead, let's take refuge in it first." Zhuge Hanqing said in a low voice.

"What if there's no back door in the tavern?" Puyang Gu Sheng asked anxiously.

"You listen to me, keep us able to get rid of them." After Zhuge Hanqing finished speaking, the three mermaids rushed into the tavern not long ago.

After entering the tavern, Zhuge Hanqing found a small cubicle with just three people at the table.

"How many? How about doing a little favor? Zhuge Hanqing was not in a hurry, and even said with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Do we know you? Just let me help, Ma slipped away. One of the rough-looking middle-aged men said.

"Give us your clothes, which are thirty taels of silver." Zhuge Hanqing quickly took out three pieces of silver from Puyang Gu Sheng's money bag.

"Yes, why not?" The middle-aged man immediately changed his tone.

At this time, Zhuge Hanqing looked back and whispered to Murong Xiaoyue: "Miss Murong, you drive out all the customers in the tavern, so that the killers can't get in for a while, so as to buy time for us to change clothes." ”

Murong Xiaoyue bowed her head in agreement, drew her sword and began to drive the drinkers in the hall out, and the shopkeeper and the shopkeeper could only beg her to stop from afar.

After a while, Zhuge Hanqing and Puyang Gu Sheng changed their whole body clothes, and when they came out of the compartment and asked Murong Xiaoyue to change, she almost didn't recognize them.

After another moment, Murong Xiaoyue walked out of the cubicle.

"Taking advantage of the chaos, we followed the crowd out, but when we got out of the door, the three of us had to go separately and meet in the southeast corner of Yuncheng." Zhuge Hanqing whispered to them.

"Isn't Yancheng in the northeast of Yuncheng?" Puyang Gu Sheng wondered.

"If the killers can't find us, they will most likely search northeast of Yuncheng, so we need to make a detour from the southeast before going to Yancheng." Zhuge Hanqing explained.

Immediately, the three men bowed their heads, and slightly covered their faces with their hands, and rushed out of the tavern in the noisy crowd, and when they got out of the tavern door, the three of them walked in three different directions.

The killers were really deceived by Zhuge Hanqing's trick of the golden cicada, and when they rushed into the tavern from the crowd, they found that the person wearing the same costume as the target was actually not the target they were going to hunt down. Depressed, they prepared to pursue in a northeasterly direction, after all, they knew the destination of the target population.

The three of them walked out of the long street and began to converge in the southeast corner of Yuncheng from different directions, and three hours later, the three of them met in a ruined temple in the southeast corner of Yuncheng.

"How are you guys? Didn't get hurt, right? After Zhuge Hanqing saw them, he couldn't wait to ask.

"We're fine, you should care about yourself, after all, you're the weakest of the three of us." Puyang Gu Sheng said jokingly.

"Don't worry, I'm dressed like this, it's hard for ordinary people to recognize it." Zhuge Hanqing smiled knowingly.

"So what do we do now?" Murong Xiaoyue asked.

"We can't go to Yancheng from Yuncheng, we can only enter Yancheng from Mucheng. Although we will delay the trip for a few days, we will be safe. Zhuge Hanqing said.

"It's all my fault, you were chased by the killer, and you were accompanied by me to endure the bumps of the journey." Murong Xiaoyue lowered her head and frowned, and said ashamedly.

"Don't say that, everyone is a hard-working person, shouldn't we help each other? Besides, we're not living a good life right now. Zhuge Hanqing comforted her and said.

"That's it, you're like our sister, what's not harmful." Puyang Gu Sheng echoed on the side.

"It's not a good place to stay for long, let's get going." Zhuge Hanqing reminded.

After two days of trekking, the three finally arrived in Mucheng, after that, they learned the lesson of Yuncheng, directly hired a carriage, no longer showed their heads directly on the street, and let the coachman buy all the food.

"Miss Murong, what is the origin of Shentu Yuanba? Not only for the evil side, but even the government dares to blatantly favor and defend him, and now, even so many people do not hesitate to drive thousands of miles for him, but also want to kill those who are not good for him. Zhuge Hanqing suddenly wanted to find out about Shentu Yuanba, because he felt that if he wanted to defeat someone, he needed to know everything about the other party, especially the weaknesses of the other party.

"In the past, he was a famous ruffian in our beggar county, and then I heard that he became a thief in the grass in other counties, and made a windfall, and after he came back, he opened a casino in our county, and then the business became bigger and bigger, and there were more and more government gentry who were bribed by him. It wasn't until later that he reached the point of covering the sky with one hand in our Gaixian County, and some people reported him many times, but all the officials sent from above were innocently killed, and gradually, no one dared to come to Gaixian to investigate him. After all, the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, and the officials of Gai County still say good things for him, and in the end, the emperor will no longer pursue him. I also heard that when the emperor celebrated his birthday, Shentu Yuanba pretended to be the hand of the county Cheng and gave him a very rare plaything in the world. From then on, not only the local Taishou, but even the assassin Shi would be polite to Shentu Yuanba. Murong Xiaoyue recounted them one by one.

"I didn't expect this person to be so rich in means and actually become a veritable 'soil emperor'." Zhuge Hanqing muttered.

"Since this person has such a background and such a thick foundation, even the emperor Lao'er has benefited from him, so if we sue the emperor, won't we send him to death?" Puyang Gu Sheng said with a sad face.

"Having said that, I heard on the road that the current emperor is not a faint monarch, but he is old, and he doesn't care about many things, but hands them over to the three princes." Murong Xiaoyue said.

"Which prince is in charge of the ministry responsible for the promotion of officials?" Zhuge Hanqing asked.

"I don't know about this, why are you asking this?" Murong Xiaoyue was puzzled.

"If the person in charge of the Ministry of Officials can send an honest and fair official to investigate and handle the case of Shentu Yuanba, then Shentu Yuanba's good days will come to an end." Zhuge Hanqing's eyes were slightly cold.

"This is true, it seems that the situation in Kyoto can only be known when we arrive." Puyang Gu Sheng echoed.

"Well, let's hurry up and try to get to Kyoto as soon as possible, I think no matter how bad Kyoto is, those killers won't dare to do anything wrong at the feet of the Son of Heaven." Zhuge Hanqing lifted the small curtain of the carriage and looked out to see if there was any suspicious person, "By the way, your father's distant cousin's house, do you know the specific address of her home?" ”

"I remember when I was young, my father took me to her house once in business, it seems to be in the Huai'an District of Yancheng, and I can't remember the specific address." Murong Xiaoyue recalled.

"That's okay, when we find your cousin's house, we'll learn about the form of the capital through your cousin." Zhuge Hanqing said.

"Hmm." Murong Xiaoyue bowed slightly.

In this way, after a day's journey, the three finally arrived at their final destination at night--- Yancheng, and after arriving in Yancheng, the three of them stayed in a hotel in Huai'an District.

The night was fine, and the three of them slept peacefully. Early the next morning, the three of them began to inquire about Murong Xiaoyue's cousin's house in Huai'an District. It wasn't until dusk in the afternoon that she finally found her home.

After Murong Xiaoyue saw her cousin, she cried bitterly and told her the bad news at home, the two hugged and cried, and her cousin told her that she would avenge her cousin's family no matter what.

"Cousin, isn't my cousin at home?" Murong Xiaoyue wiped her swollen eyes and asked.

"Your cousin uncle is a servant of the Horse Raising Division under the Ministry of War, and he is often busy with official business, and now he is not in the mansion for several days, so I will send a message to him to come back today."

"Hmm."

"These two are your friends, aren't they?" Zhong Li looked at Zhuge Hanqing and asked.

"That's right, along the way, they helped me in danger, and their backgrounds are very similar to mine, they are all hard-working people." Murong Xiaoyue bowed slightly.

"Thank you for your help, so that Xiaoyue has come to Kyoto safely." Zhong Li looked very grateful, and then turned to the maid beside him and ordered, "Quickly arrange a guest room for the two distinguished guests," and the maid left in response.

"Xiaoyue, you and your friends have been living here with peace of mind, and we will definitely seek justice for the unjustly deceased souls." Zhongli said.

"Well, thank you, auntie."

"Silly child, what kind words do you say to your aunt, but it's just that you are lonely and helpless from now on. However, I will tell your uncle to let you stay and live with us from now on. Zhongli took her hand and cried again.

"Aunt..."Murong Xiaoyue hugged Zhong Li's arms.

The housekeeper of Zhongli Mansion personally came to the Horse Raising Division with a message, and found Zhongli Zhiqi, the servant ---of Huai'an District, who was on duty.

"Sir, Madame asked me to bring you a message." Butler Boss Yin was a little out of breath and said.

"What's the matter, so flustered?" Zhongli raised his eyes from the desk and asked.

"There was a distant niece of Madame in the house, and the whole family was killed by a local bully, and now she has run to Kyoto, so Madame asked me to tell the lord to return to the house early tonight." Boss Yin took a deep breath and said slowly.

"Oh! Is there no royal law, dare to kill people in broad daylight? When Zhongli first heard this, he was slightly startled, and his surprised expression immediately returned to calm, "Butler, where is Madame's niece from?" Who killed his family? ”

Zhongli was surprised and even angry at first, but after many years of mixing in officialdom, he also understood that there is no lawlessness for no reason in reality, and the things behind this must not be simple.

"According to the woman, she is from Nanxi Gai County, and her family was victimized by the local gentry bully Shentu Yuanba, because she was not at home at the time, so she escaped."

"Shentu Yuanba... Shentu Yuanba..."Zhongli got up, put his hands behind his back, frowned slightly, and began to repeat the name repeatedly, "This name, how does it sound a little familiar." ”
