Leng Yi had to be resolute and unconcerned, so that the assassins could mistakenly think that Zhuo Qiaoniang, who had become an old woman with a mask, was just an ordinary servant, so that he would not harm her. Only then can you concentrate on dealing with these Assassins.

Sure enough, the assassin in the kitchen glanced at Zhuo Qiaoniang, who was huddled behind the water tank, and saw that it was an old woman with a spatula in her hand, which should be the cook, ignored it, pushed open the kitchen door and came out, blocking Leng Yi's retreat.

Leng Yi ran across the patio in panic and was blocked by an assassin, and he retreated in horror against the pillar of the corridor next to him, leaving the kitchen to avoid hurting Zhuo Qiaoniang. He looked at the six Assassins who had gathered around. He stammered, "You guys, what are you going to do?" ”

The first big man looked at Leng Yi with a cold gaze, and said slowly: "Say!" Where is the stuff? ”

"What's that?"

"You still have garlic?" The big man raised a single knife in his hand, "If you don't say it, I'll kill you with a knife immediately!" ”

Leng Yi waved his hands and said, "Wait! I say I say! ”

Only then did the big man put down his knife and looked at him.

"Stuff isn't with me! Didn't you see that the headhunters who guarded the six gates of my capital left yesterday? ”

The big man frowned and glanced at a thin man next to him.

The thin man said: "We already know about this matter, otherwise we wouldn't have come in openly to look for you." However, this is really a bit strange, if the thing is still here, how can the queen's people withdraw? ”

Leng Yi's heart moved, these people actually knew that Cheng Luojie and they were Queen Kaibao's people, indicating that this group of people was probably also related to the emperor's relatives!

The big man glared at him: "Is your mother's mouth lock good?" ”

The thin man said: "It's okay, anyway, we're going to kill this official, it doesn't matter if he knows it or not." ”

"That's just as well." The big man said to Leng Yi: "Where is the thing?" ”

"I said they weren't here, or they wouldn't have returned to the capital." Leng Yi said with a bitter face: "Please don't kill me, I don't want to die!" ”

"If you don't want to die, you have to die! - Where's your wife? Where is she? Find her, I will allow you to die together, is it benevolent enough? Hey, hey, hey."

"Hahaha" Several of the other assassins laughed, and two of them said, "Let's go and find that little lady, I heard that she looks pretty good, and before she dies, you can let her serve a few of us......"

Sou!

A flying knife shot out from under Leng Yi's arm, hitting the assassin in the throat! There is no straight handle! Fell on his back and died.

At the same time, Leng Yi turned his arm and swished! Shoot nine throwing knives in a row!

These assassins didn't expect Leng Yi to have such a move, because the distance was too close and they were caught off guard, these people didn't have time to dodge, and three more assassins fell from the knife!

As soon as Leng Yi made a move, he killed four people in a row!

The remaining two reacted quite quickly, knocked away the flying knife that Leng Yi shot, and rushed up screaming.

Leng Yi shot mercilessly, a few faces, and there were two assassins left, one of whom was stabbed in the throat and fell to the ground, and died. The other, that is, the big man with a big shape, was stabbed in the stomach, and at the same time took away Leng Yi with a single knife, lying on the ground, moaning in pain.

Leng Yi left this job to inquire about the mastermind behind the scenes. He kicked his legs off with both feet, making it impossible for him to stand up, so he ran back to the kitchen and said, "Qiao Niang! ”

Zhuo Qiaoniang heard that the shouting outside had stopped, and she got up in a panic and was about to come out to investigate, when she heard the official's call, her heart exploded with joy, and she shouted, "Official!" Opened the door and threw himself into Leng Yi's arms. Then he quickly broke away, looked Leng Yi up and down, saw that there was blood on his body, and said in a trembling voice: "The official is injured?" ”

"Nope! This is their blood. Leng Yi said, waving his arm, "This thing really works." ”

Zhuo Qiaoniang glanced into the courtyard and saw several corpses lying on the ground, and she was frightened.

Leng Yi said: "You go to the house and cook, don't come out, I will interrogate these assassins to see who made them kill me." ”

Zhuo Qiaoniang nodded hurriedly and said, "That official must be careful!" ”

"Rest assured, only one is alive and the others are dead. Those who are alive are also seriously injured and can no longer hurt anyone. ”

Zhuo Qiaoniang took a closer look at the corpses of the assassins, and sure enough, only one of them was still lying and moaning, so she believed it, opened the door and entered the house, and continued to cook.

Leng Yi first checked the surroundings of the courtyard to make sure that there were no more assassins, and then returned to the leading man in the courtyard, squatted down, grabbed his fingers, and wrung one off.

The big man let out a scream.

Leng Yi twisted off his three fingers in a row, and then asked, "Who sent you?" ”

The big man laughed miserably: "Don't bother, I won't say it." Because I said, all my family is going to die! ”

"If you don't say it, you're going to die now! Die alive! ”

"Come on!"

Click!

Leng Yi twisted off one of his fingers again. This time, the big man didn't even say a word.

Sure enough, Leng Yi twisted all his fingers off, and the big man didn't say a word except screaming.

Leng Yi said: "You're not afraid of pain, aren't you afraid of death?" The wound on your stomach, if not treated in time, you will die soon! ”

"Fool it! This injury can't be saved, Lao Tzu is dead. The big man gasped.

"Then you're going to die!" Leng Yi coldly stabbed him in the neck.

Leng Yi searched all over these assassins, and it was clear that these assassins had taken precautions and had nothing on them that could hunt down the source of their identities.

Leng Yi returned to the kitchen and said to Zhuo Qiaoniang: "These assassins are already dead, I want to dispose of their corpses, you are cooking in the kitchen, I don't tell you not to come out." ”

Zhuo Qiaoniang said: "Don't the officials report to the officials? Oh no, didn't the officials tell the chief bookkeeper about it? ”

"Can't tell!" Leng Yi said, "The origin of these assassins is unknown, if they go out, the people who bought them to assassinate the officials will know that I killed them, and will send more killers to kill me." That would be a problem, if we quietly bury their bodies, then the mastermind behind them will not know that I killed them, and they may think that they ran away on their own. The most important thing is that there are a lot of people sent by the mastermind behind the scenes this time, but he doesn't know that these people are already dead, and he thinks that they are thinking of completing the assassination mission, so that they will not send people to assassinate again in a short time. We'll have a buffer time. When the Lordship knows that it is not with us, he will not send any more men to kill us. ”

Zhuo Qiaoniang understood and nodded: "It's still the official's idea!" The concubine helped the officials ......," she glanced at the corpse on the ground, couldn't help but shudder, but continued to say, "Help the officials deal with it together...... These corpses, right? ”

"No, you don't! I can handle it alone. You go and prepare the meal. When the meal is ready, you just pick up a few buckets of water to wash away the blood on the ground. ”

"Okay."

Leng Yi took a hoe, dug a deep pit in a corner of the back garden, and then moved the corpse to the edge of the pit, punched violently, and the corpse's head and facial bones were shattered and deformed, unrecognizable, and then stripped naked, threw it into the pit, and buried the corpse.

Originally, it was not a good idea to bury the body in the yamen, but he was worried that there were assassins outside watching, and if the body was transported out of the city, it would be discovered, and once the body was tracked down, the whole plan would be reimbursed, and it would be safer to bury it in the yamen.

After he buried it here, Zhuo Qiaoniang over there also washed away all the blood on the ground. The two of them changed all their clothes and burned them in the stove along with the bloody clothes of the assassins.

After cleaning up, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that the yard had been restored to its original appearance. Sit down and eat.

That night, Zhuo Qiaoniang snuggled in Leng Yi's arms, remembering the events of the day, she couldn't help but be a little afraid, and said in a low voice: "Official, will these people still come to kill us?" ”

"Not anymore." Leng Yi said with relief, "Rest assured to sleep." ”

"Hmmm......"

After a while, Leng Yi found that Zhuo Qiaoniang was still stunned with her eyes open, and knew that she was still worried, so she said: "Otherwise, when the ploughing cattle arrive, let's go to the countryside by sending cattle to the people." Avoid the killer and come back after a while. All right? ”

Zhuo Qiaoniang immediately became happy: "Okay, good!" Last time, the official said, when spring begins, let's go climb the mountain. ”

"Well," Leng Yi said, "Now that the Spring Festival is over, it's almost warm, and it's time to go hiking and mountaineering." ”

"As long as we leave the county seat and we change our clothes, the killer won't be able to find us."

"Great!"

A stone fell to the ground in Zhuo Qiaoniang's heart, and her mood improved. The body also became hot, and he began to be restless in Leng Yi's arms. Leng Yi naturally understood that he still used the old method to prevent her from touching her body, and after a while, he hugged her, and then fell asleep.

The city is very lively every night, dragon dance, light market, firecrackers, very lively, many people in the countryside come to the city to see the excitement.

Leng Yi and Zhuo Qiaoniang didn't go out, and now, safety comes first. It is necessary to avoid the limelight. It is safe to be sure that the Assassins will not perform assassinations again.

On the third day, Wu Zhutou, Master Dong and the fast catchers finally drove a large number of ploughing cattle and a large amount of grain back to the county seat. When the ploughing cattle shouted through the streets covered with stone roads in Yinling County, the people in the city shouted and came out to see the excitement, and they saw so many ploughing cattle at once, they had never seen them before.

A large herd of ploughing cattle swept into the Yamen compound, and the cow was pulled to the ground. Leng Yi smiled on his face, and took Zhuo Qiaoniang out, and at a glance, there were seventy or eighty heads, far more than the thirty-three heads he bought. Hurriedly asked Master Dong what was going on.

Master Dong said: "The Liao prefect helped to contact the borrowing of forty ploughing cattle, and the rental fee was paid by the Yamen of the Bazhou prefect, and Yinling County only needs to be responsible for the forage of the ploughing cattle." After using it, just return it to the Bazhou Yamen. ”

Leng Yi was overjoyed, and hurriedly ordered the household to register and make a register, and organized the yamen soap and the village to go to the countryside to send spring ploughing cattle to the people. In addition, a few of the Yamen warehouses were allocated to store the grain they bought with their own money, and they were registered in the special account book of Master Dong to avoid confusion with the relief grain of the Yamen.

These grains were taken out and sold to the people when they were not harvested, so they were stored first.
