Mingyuexi silently retracted her gaze, stood up without saying a word, and bowed deeply to Mr. Bookkeeper, regardless of Mr. Bookkeeper's shocked gaze, she said slowly: "Mr. Today's actions are really well understood in everyone, I am grateful that you chose to stand up and help and seek justice for the dead." ”

Mr. Bookkeeper stood up uneasily, ashamed of himself: "Madam, you don't have to be like this, I am already at fault first, and I am guilty......"

"Everyone has difficulties, Mr. don't have to be too guilty, I'll go first, I'll come over tomorrow, and the truth will be left to Mr."

After Mingyuexi finished speaking, he turned around and left the courtyard, and the bookkeeper looked at his back, his nose was sore, and his eyes were full of tears, and the word loyalty resurfaced in his heart that had been blinded by silence for a long time.

He quickly turned around and returned to the table, picked up the pen and wanted to write down the loopholes in the ledger again, but inexplicably felt a light behind him, and he caught a glimpse of a black shadow standing behind him, and suddenly the hairs on his body stood up, and the pen in his hand fell on the table with a "snap".

That night, the candle in the bookkeeper's room was never extinguished.

The things that Mingyuexi was worried about finally came to fruition, and she slept peacefully and dreamlessly.

The next day, she got up early and went to the yard of the bookkeeper, but she knocked on the door for a long time, but there was no answer.

Could it be that she got up too early, was too anxious, and the bookkeeper hadn't woken up yet?

Mingyuexi reflected at the door, but saw someone walk in, and after saluting her, she pushed the door directly and was about to enter the room, she was taken aback and hurriedly stopped: "What are you doing?" ”

The subordinate withdrew his hand, looked at her in confusion and scratched his head: "Young lady, the little one is going in to move things, the bookkeeper moved away today, and the little one was ordered to clean up." ”

"Moved out?" Mingyuexi's pupils suddenly constricted, and she didn't care about the puzzled eyes of the next people, so she pushed open the door and broke in.

Sure enough, the room was empty, like a wind and clouds, and all the things of Mr. Bookkeeper were gone, only some items that could not be taken away and abandoned, as well as the truth that he should have stayed here waiting for Mingyuexi, was also taken away by him.

Mingyuexi didn't have time to be stunned for too long, her whole body was tense at the moment, and she immediately withdrew to ask the next person: "He was still here yesterday, why did he move away today?" Where did you move? ”

The subordinate looked at her serious expression, although he didn't know why, he also became nervous, and tried to recall: "Early this morning, Mr. Bookkeeper packed up his things, and told the old lady that he was going to return to his hometown, and left immediately after speaking, the old lady wanted to make a feast for him, but he refused, and he didn't say where he was going......

"In which direction did the carriage go?"

After the subordinate pointed the direction, Mingyuexi didn't have time to think about it, and immediately rushed towards the door, there was a carriage parked in front of the door, she immediately pulled the coachman and asked him to take him to the carriage of Mr. Bill.

"Drive!" The coachman held the reins in his hand and controlled the direction of the horse, the carriage was very bumpy because he was driving too fast, and Mingyuexi sat in it without realizing it.

She lifted the curtain and stared ahead anxiously, never seeing the shadow of the Houfu carriage, her fingers tightly twisted the curtain, fidgeting, and biting her lip.

"Faster!"

The car rampaged on the roads of the capital, and almost hit people several times, but fortunately it was still early at this time, so as not to be unable to pass, they quickly chased out of the capital, and the horses galloped all the way towards the main road in the suburbs.

Compared with the bustling city in the capital, the scenery outside the city is a little desolate, Mingyuexi looked at the scattered trees next to the ancient road, and couldn't help but lose his mind.

If you go on like this, can you really catch up with Mr. Bookkeeper? Could it be that they are going in the wrong direction?

"Young lady, look, is that the carriage of the Hou Mansion?"

The coachman's voice pulled Mingyuexi back from her distraction, she immediately pulled the curtain of the car, looked outside, and sure enough, there was a carriage from the Hou Mansion not far ahead.

She was overjoyed and hurriedly told the coachman to hurry up and catch up.

Soon, Mingyuexi's carriage overtook the carriage, she opened the curtain, ordered the coachman to stop, she immediately jumped down, walked to the carriage, and opened the curtain.

Seeing Mingyuexi, Mr. Bookkeeper was dumbfounded, a look of fear appeared on his face, and he stammered when he spoke.

"Less, young lady, why are you here? You ......"

Mingyuexi climbed into the carriage, lowered the curtain, and ordered the coachman to turn around and drive back, only then did he look at Mr. Bookkeeper, and his voice was cold: "Why am I here, naturally because Mr. You came here, obviously you said you wanted to tell the truth yesterday, why did you change your mind temporarily today?" ”

Mr. Bookkeeper watched the carriage slowly turn around, his eyes were full of horror, and his eyes were full of pleading: "Young lady, please don't take me back, please, I don't know the truth or anything, I just want to leave!" ”

"You ......" Mingyuexi was angry, looking at his almost pitiful appearance and couldn't say anything serious, she didn't know what to do for a while, so she had to soften her attitude, "Sir, I know, you must have been threatened, right?" ”

The bookkeeper hesitated for a long time before nodding slightly, but soon he shook his head quickly with trepidation, and shrank in the corner of the carriage: "As long as I leave the Hou Mansion, everything will be over, young lady, please let ...... go."

Before he could finish his sentence, there was a sudden scream of the coachman outside the carriage, followed by the sound of something hard and sharp hitting the carriage at once, and the horse seemed to be frightened, and the carriage shook violently.

Mingyuexi was unprepared, and even hit the carriage all of a sudden, frowning in pain, she was about to lift the curtain to take a look, and an arrow came towards her with a "whoosh" sound of breaking wind.

Mingyuexi had a loud alarm in her heart, and subconsciously withdrew her hand and dodged, the arrow passed by her, and with a "bang" pierced the carriage inside, almost penetrating the carriage.

Mingyuexi took two steps back and didn't stand firmly, she sat down, her mind was in chaos, it's over, these people are definitely premeditated, and now in this wilderness, not close to the capital, there will be no officers and soldiers rushing over at all.

This arrow was extremely powerful, and the carriage couldn't resist it at all, so Mingyuexi scolded the already frightened bookkeeper, "Get down!" ”

"Creek!"

A familiar voice came with anxiety, Mingyuexi was stunned for a moment, and thought that she had auditory hallucinations, and at this moment, the wind blew the curtain up.
