The petitioners in Duanmu County seem to have disappeared suddenly, and they did not make trouble in front of the Dali Temple and the Yamen of the Criminal Department.

After watching the excitement for many days, Leng Ding quieted down, and although the courtiers were puzzled, no one dared to ask where the petitioners had gone.

The scenery of Baihua Villa is pleasant, and these people from Duanmu County have moved in under Ning Chi's arrangement. Hundreds of Praetorian Guards surrounded them, allowing them to play in the courtyard, but they couldn't leave the courtyard, they couldn't see outsiders, and they were comfortable eating and drinking.

Among these people, those who really complained about the Xu County Order, saw that the forbidden army was strict with military discipline, and promised to give an explanation, so they also lived with peace of mind. Those who wandered among them to receive a few rewards were anxious.

Some of them were instigated, and a few ruffians tried to escape.

Ning Chi personally led the troops to guard,

Ning Chi sat under the lamp, his eyes glazed.

The emperor has not issued a deal with the matter for a long time, and he is really afraid that the people here will not be able to support it.

He drank his tea with some chatter

The night breeze was blowing, and suddenly there was the sound of swords clashing and a low, suppressed scream.

Ning Chi's body couldn't help but be shocked, and he picked up his sword and jumped out of the house to chase after him.

The sound came from outside the backyard wall, and Ning Chi jumped on the wall and took a closer look.

In the moonlight, a man in black attacks a man who is walking along.

The man in black was fatal, and the man was forced to retreat step by step, only with the power to parry.

"Stop!"

Ning Chi shouted, jumped down hurriedly, and blocked the sword upwards, only to hear a few "clanging" sounds, separating the two people.

"Who is making such a noise again, don't quickly retreat!" Ning Chi's voice was like a macro, shocking both sides.

He shouted angrily, and the few people who followed him stopped and didn't dare to move.

Ning Chi raised his eyes and swept over, the man in black who was fighting seemed to be the leader, and there were five or six people behind him, all wearing the same black night clothes.

The man in the lead was about twenty years old, with a Chinese face, a pair of black eyes and a bright spirit, he was dressed in short clothes, his chest was erect, he held a long sword in his hand, and a short sword at his waist, which seemed to be inseparable from his sword.

Look at his outfit and dress, like someone's guard.

Look at the man with a long walk, wearing a blue shirt, with a white face, a middle-aged Confucian student, his hair is messy, he gasps for breath, and coughs a few times from time to time.

Ning Chi's eyes lit up, "Baihua Villa is surrounded by forbidden troops, what are you doing here, and how did you get here?" ”

The forbidden army surrounded the Baihua Villa for several miles, and ordinary people should not be able to enter.

The young man arched his hand and said, "Great Commander, in Xiayu, it is under the command of the Qingning County Lord,...... Track the man here,...... Unexpectedly, he wanted to climb over the wall, so I stopped him......"

Yu Fang concisely explained the truth of the matter.

"Oh, your lord's man?"

Ning Chi said in his heart, Baihua Mountain Villa belongs to the county lord, so it's no wonder that they can come in,......

But why did they follow the middle-aged man?

His inky eyes swept and asked coldly, "Sir, you are not from Hundred Flowers Villa, why did you come here?" ”

"Hey, hey...... The Great Commander has a good plan," the man laughed twice, "How could these foolish people in Duanmu County disappear out of thin air?" …… Originally. It's all the work of the Great Commander! ”

"What do you mean, sir?" Ning Chi's eyes turned pale, and his cold eyes swept towards him, "The people are complaining about their grievances, and the forbidden army is protecting, what's wrong?" ”

"Ahem...... You are abusing your power. The man said as he showed a fierce color, "Commander of the Forbidden Army, is this to manipulate these Diao people?" ”

"This matter has nothing to do with you!" Ning Chi was not afraid of him, "Who are you?" …… But why are you so concerned about this case? Ben was curious. ”

"Ahem...... I'm ......" The man's cough worsened, and his whole face turned red. cough cough cough ......"

Coughing and wheezing, he wanted to say but couldn't, as if his heart was torn apart, and he scratched his chest fiercely with his right hand.

Suddenly, the cough stopped.

The man collapsed like a lump of mud and fell to the ground.

Everyone was stunned.

This one?

Ning Chi walked forward quickly, probing his snort with his fingers,...... This person is not breathing.

"He's out of breath!"

"What?!" Yu Fangyuan opened his eyes, "It's right that I fought him, but we didn't touch him at all!" ”

From the grass came a sobbing body, "Master...... Lord......"

Ning Chi noted,

In the grass not far away, there were two frightened people lying on their stomachs.

Ning Chi pointed his sword, "What person?" Come out! ”

Wherever the sword light pointed, two servants, one tall and one short, stood up from the haystack, supported each other, and stumbled over.

"Plop, plop ......"

Only two crisp sounds were heard, and the servants knelt on the ground one after the other, "Master, spare your life!" We don't know anything, it's none of our business! ”

"Who is your master, and why did you two come here with your master?" Ning Chi's eyes were cold, "Give me the truth, otherwise, don't blame me for being unkind!" ”

"The little ones, I came from Xingyang with my master a few days ago,"

The tall servant was sober, "This Baihua Villa was originally our Xu family's house, and the master lived here when he was a child. Today, my lord said that he wanted to come and see the old mansion and find out the old time, so he brought the two of me over...... I didn't want to, but I was intercepted by these men in black. ”

"The Xu family?" Ning Chi felt a chill in his heart, "Xingyang Xu family? ”

"Exactly!" The short servant added, "My lord's surname is Xu, and he is the younger brother of the current queen's mother!" ”

The Queen's brother? That, isn't it the aunt and uncle of the county lord of Qingning?

Everyone was bluffing.

Yu Fang only felt that there was a black mist in front of him, today, was it bad luck?

finally tracked down this man,

words, haven't asked a word yet,

He, but dead?

Yu Fang was in such a trance, only to feel a chill on his neck, and a long sword against his throat, "Where did the thief come from, dare to attack our fourth master?" ”

The tall servant who had just wilted, and everyone was stunned, and quickly picked up the long sword on the ground to restrain Yu Fang.

"Let it go!"

Seeing that the leader was being coerced, the other secret guards were naturally not to be outdone, and their long swords were aimed at him, "If you are moved, we will poke you into scum with a few swords!" ”

"Then let's see, whose sword is fast, who is closer!" The tall servant seemed to have changed into a different person, and his face was violent, "This thief killed my master, and he must pay for his life!" ”

Neither side let anyone, and the sword plucked and the crossbow confronted each other,......

Ning Chi frowned, vaguely feeling that this matter was not simple.

Ning Chi held the long sword in his hand, stepped forward as fast as lightning, and restrained the servants of the Xu family, "The forbidden army is here, and you can't be presumptuous!" ”

The deputy general, Lu Ming, heard the movement, and he had already stepped forward and removed the swords from the hands of several secret guards.
