This sudden accident soon caused an even greater commotion, although there were only a dozen killers, but it was rumored that hundreds of people had died, rivers of blood, and corpses were strewn all over the field.

The rumors brought great panic, the crowd screamed, cried, women screamed, children cried, people trampled on angry scolding, etc.

In less than a stick of incense, the front of the Chenghuang Temple, which was originally crowded with people, was suddenly crowded, leaving only a lot of miscellaneous items, including women's embroidered shoes, children's tiger hats, men's belts, overturned baskets, and even a lot of money bags.

There were also many stalls that were crushed by the flow of people who were eager to escape, and the goods were scattered all over the ground, and the stall owners did not care to clean up, so they fled with the crowd.

Looking at the mess all over the ground, Jiang Chuan sighed. How did a good temple fair come to be like this?

"Childe, none of these killers are professional, they are just from the Qinglong Gang, a local gang in Jining City. It is said that three days ago, a man approached their helper and asked them to help kill a man. They have been guarding the door of the Yuelai Inn, and as soon as Childe came out today, they followed. Ji Biao had already finished copying all the things, and walked over and whispered to Jiang Chuan.

"In addition to the Xiao family's father and daughter, they also coerced the hawkers on Big Belly Street and asked them to induce Gongzi and Bai Girl to visit the City God Temple, so as to take advantage of the opportunity."

"It's no wonder that these goods are all amateurs. There is such a big movement here, the government should be there soon, you go and arrange for them to block the four city gates and assist the Black Ice Platform to capture the mastermind behind the scenes. In addition, check again to see if this Baoxiang Temple has anything to do with this incident. ”

Jiang Chuan groaned for a moment and commanded.

Ji Biao received the order and quickly arranged it.

The father and daughter of the Xiao family had already gone to Baoxiang Temple with a team of guards to save people, and only Bai Jinxiu's master and servant were left by Jiang Chuan's side.

"What do you think about this incident?" Jiang Chuan walked up to Bai Jinxiu and asked softly.

"Although it seems that there are many people who are suspicious, in fact, there are not many people after ruling them out. Li Zicheng is dead, the Zheng family has also fallen, and the remnants of the Manchu Qing have become slaves, and there are only two kinds of people who can have the motivation to do this: one is those who have been offended by your serious interests or have great enmity, such as the remnants of those criminal ministers in the court. But this is unlikely, after all, it was very clean to raid the family and exterminate the clan at that time. Even if you are lucky enough to slip through the net, you should hide your head and cover your tail all day in fear, and you will not be so blatantly assassinated. The most important thing is that you have confidence in the abilities of your subordinates. ”

Bai Jinxiu talked eloquently, very confident, and looked confident.

She led the Black Ice Platform for two years, making the Black Ice Platform from scratch, and now it has become an indispensable ear for Jiang Chuan's subordinates, and this process has made her grow a lot.

However, this intelligence analysis ability is not comparable to ordinary people.

Jiang Chuan nodded in agreement, and then said: "If this is the case, then only Zhang Xianzhong, who is far away in Shuzhou, has this motive." ”

Bai Jinxiu nodded and said, "That's right, only he has this strong motive." Zhang Xianzhong must have realized that we were about to use troops against him. The successive downfall of the Manchu Dynasty, Li Zicheng and the Zheng family made him unconfident that he could rely on the terrain of Shuzhou to compete with us, so he had to resort to assassination.

Moreover, they should have a lot of small works lurking in the capital, keeping an eye on our whereabouts. As soon as we left Beijing this time, they followed us all the way. After discovering that we entered Jining City, we felt that we had a chance to start, so we hurriedly found the local gang to make a cameo killer. And this temple fair is the time they chose to start. ”

Jiang Chuan sighed after hearing this: "Zhang Xianzhong is really unavailable, if you want to assassinate you and find some professional, if these green-skinned gangsters can succeed, then I might as well send it directly to him to kill." ”

Bai Jinxiu glanced at him and said, "You really hope that he will find some masters to assassinate you, how can there be such a thing." ”

Jiang Chuan smiled: "It's not that I'm conceited. Even if the highest master comes, I will let him come and go. That Holy Mother of Fusang is a master, and she hasn't been half-dead by me yet.

No matter how high the martial arts are, it is a matter of knocking down with one shot. This era is no longer an era in which one person and one sword can dominate the world. Anyone who thinks that he can be invincible in the world is not far from death. ”

Bai Jinxiu said with deep feelings: "It's true, we have been able to calm the world so quickly in the past two years, and the credit of muskets and artillery is at least half. No matter how clever a master is, he is vulnerable in front of artillery. Even if the master faces the artillery, I am afraid that he will not have the courage to deal with it head-on. Manpower is sometimes exhausted. ”

The two talked again, and the team that followed the Xiao family's father and daughter to Baoxiang Temple to rescue people also rushed back.

The father and daughter of the Xiao family supported a middle-aged woman with a pale face and looked a little weak to come to Jiang Chuan and kneel, and the woman in red, Xiao Ran, said: "Little girl, thank you for the great kindness of Mei Gongzi, if it weren't for Gongzi's men to catch the killer's accomplices in time, my mother would probably have been poisoned by them." ”

Old man Xiao also said gratefully: "Master Mei, if it weren't for you today, our Xiao family would be ruined, please accept the little old man's worship." ”

After speaking, he kowtowed, and Xiao Ran, the woman in red, kowtowed to the middle-aged woman together.

Jiang Chuan couldn't stop it, so he had to let them kowtow three times.

After the three of them got up, Jiang Chuan smiled and said, "The three of you don't have to be so polite. Today's incident, if it weren't for Miss Xiao's timely warning, it wouldn't have gone so smoothly. Speaking of which, Miss Xiao risked death for a person like me, regardless of her own safety, which is the real benevolence. In this case, we have even settled it, and the so-called life-saving grace should not be mentioned again. ”

The three members of the Xiao family regarded Jiang Chuan as an ordinary rich son at first, but a series of things that happened later made them all realize that the identity of the kind and handsome son in front of them was definitely not simple, and they couldn't help but be nervous and apprehensive in their hearts.

I was afraid that Jiang Chuan would take advantage of the topic and treat them and the killer as accomplices, and it would be really troublesome at that time.

But at this time, seeing Jiang Chuan so kind, the three hearts not only let go.

Jiang Chuan looked at Old Man Xiao and said, "I saw that the old man made an extraordinary move just now, and he was so proficient in one sitting. The little girl's marksmanship is also powerful and strong, and she seems to be on the road in the army. ”

Old man Xiao looked at Jiang Chuan, then at his daughter and wife, and after hesitating for a moment, he finally said: "Don't hide it from my son, the little old man's ancestor once led the army in the army, and my father-in-law also served as a general in the army back then. Later, our two families fell into the middle of the road, but this knife and marksmanship have been passed down. ”

Old man Xiao said with a very melancholy look in his eyes, obviously reluctant to say more about the affairs of his ancestors.
