Chapter 343: Hunt and Kill
All the yacha of Biyun Tower were withdrawn, and the sky was almost dawn.
Xiangcui was wearing a coarse cloth half-arm dress, and walked out of Biyun Building with the little girl, taking two steps forward, Xiangcui couldn't help but turn her head to look.
Through the crack in the door, she saw the bustard waving at her.
Xiangcui tearfully turned her head and walked out quickly.
If you want to rush to the river before dawn, naturally someone is waiting for her and takes her out of here.
This was the only arrangement that the bustard could make for her.
Xiangcui pursed her lips, no longer hesitated, and quickened her pace.
The government followed the prince of Shunyang County to check on the situation of the three women, and she couldn't take care of this side for the time being, she had to seize the opportunity.
Xiangcui rode on the horse like a riverside, and the road was very smooth, and no one came to stop it.
Seeing the boat by the river, Xiangcui breathed a sigh of relief.
"Girl, get on board!" The old boatman waited there, "and by the time dawn we were gone." ”
Xiangcui nodded, bent down and walked into the cabin, the cabin was dark, and the boatman said in a low voice: "Wronged girl, we can't light the lamp, lest it be discovered, the sky will be bright in less than an hour, and the girl will endure it during this time." ”
Xiangcui answered, and the ship began to move forward.
Xiangcui's eyes had adjusted to the darkness, and she vaguely saw a green cloth bag in the corner.
The old boatman's voice came: "What is in the cabin is for you." ”
Xiangcui stretched out her hand and opened the green cloth bag, and the contents of the bag were immediately revealed, the head of the red gold jewelry, some silver and a thick stack of silver tickets.
Xiangcui's nose was sour, tears almost flowed down, Mother Yang, who pretended to be an old bustard in front of people, thought about her like this, not only let her escape, but also prepared so much soft for her, these gold and silver are probably all the belongings that Mother Yang can take out.
She knew the red golden hairpin in the baggage, which was the most cherished object of Mother Yang, but now she gave it all to her, which was to make her rely on it for the rest of her life and be carefree.
The boat swayed in the river, and when a red sun slowly rose from the east, the boat had reached the middle of the river, and Xiangcui looked at the sky outside, but did not notice that the boat was gradually slowing down.
A drizzle of rain fell unexpectedly, disturbing Xiangcui's thoughts, and Xiangcui looked at the hat in the cabin and was about to take it to the boatman, but found that at some point, a small boat quietly followed.
Xiangcui panicked and reminded the boatman: "Someone is chasing after you......"
The old boatman looked in the direction of Xiangcui's finger, and his face suddenly changed: "I'm afraid that someone has discovered her whereabouts, the girl is about to return to the cabin, and the little old man is desperate to save the girl's life." ”
The old boatman said as he pushed his arms up quickly.
Xiangcui stumbled back to the cabin, looking out the window, the old boatman, despite his best efforts, still could not escape the pursuit of the ships behind him, and the two boats got closer and closer.
Xiangcui quickly saw the dress of the people on the boat, two young and strong men stood there, their faces were full of fierce expressions, and they carried waist knives around their waists.
Who are these people?
If it was the yacha, they should have been shouted to stop a long time ago, who would it be if it wasn't the yacha? Could it be that it is a person from the Shunjun Palace, just like Yang's mother said, the Shunjun King is a royal family, and they will not give up.
"Don't get caught by them," Xiangcui shouted, "If I get caught, I'll be dead." ”
The old boatman didn't care about wiping the rain from his face, and rowed the boat, but at last he let the boat behind him come up.
The iron hook had been hanging on the plank, and the old boatman saw this and stepped forward to pull the hook, but it was too late, and Xiangcui watched the man on the boat jump up.
After the man boarded the ship, he drew the long knife at his waist, and immediately walked into the cabin, heading straight for her.
Xiangcui felt that death was closing in on her.
The old boatman's miserable cry came from outside, the old boatman's thin body was pushed into the river, and in a blink of an eye it was swallowed by the cold water, Xiangcui didn't have time to grieve for the old boatman, because the knife in front of her also slashed at her, under the yellow spring, they would meet soon.
Xiangcui closed her eyes, the sharp voice in her ears whistled, a stream of hot blood sprayed on her cheeks, and her breathing immediately became rapid, but strangely she didn't feel pain.
There was a "poof" sound in his ears, Xiangcui opened his eyes, only to see that the man who had killed him with a knife had fallen to the ground, the man was rolling in the boat, one arm hung down softly, blood gushing out of his body, although he gritted his teeth, the pain still made him moan.
Behind the man stood a man in his forties, he withdrew the sharp weapon in his hand, tied the man with a rope, and then looked at Xiangcui: "My eldest lady wants to see you." ”
Xiangcui didn't know what was going on, only to see the curtain of the cabin lifted, and a familiar face appeared in front of her.
It's Miss Xu who I saw in Biyun Building.
Xiangcui's lips twitched and she didn't know what to say, and Miss Xu didn't ask, so she sat opposite her.
"Big ...... Miss, "Xiangcui still said first," this ...... What's going on...... I don't know who is going to kill me...... They...... Suddenly appeared here, and the boatman who was holding the boat was also killed by them. ”
Uncle Lei found a sign on the man's body that read "Shunyang County Wangfu" and handed it to Xu Qinghuan.
"It's the county king's mansion...... The people of the county king's mansion ......" Xiangcui immediately shouted, "The prince of Shunyang County wants to kill me, because Qiao Shu told me that her father once apologized for the Shunyang County Palace, and now that the Shunyang County Mansion has found the door, he will definitely kill her to prevent future troubles."
I will escape, but I am afraid when I see Qiao Shu being killed. ”
Xu Qinghuan looked at Xiangcui and said, "Those people outside have been restrained, we have a lot of time to talk slowly, you don't have to be in such a hurry." ”
Xiangcui only felt that the eyes of the young lady Xu in front of her were clear, as if she could see through everything.
Xu Qinghuan said: "Let's start with Qiao Shu, Qiao Shu is not the girl from Biyun Building, why did she appear in your room in the middle of the night, after you found out that Qiao Shu died, no one questioned this, it can be seen that you have long known that Qiao Shu came to Biyun Tower at night."
I have already asked people to inquire, except for Biyun Building, no one buys the rouge gouache in Qiao Shu's hands, in fact, this is also very understandable, Qiao Shu's things are inevitably inferior to those big rouge shops in terms of price and quality, there are so many girls in Hualou, there is a lot of demand for these things, and such a business rouge shop will never let go.
Therefore, it is you who are unusual, Biyunlou has been buying rouge from Qiao Shu, and it can be seen from this that Qiao Shu and Biyunlou must have an extraordinary relationship.
It should be a breeze for you to trick Qiao Shu into killing Biyun Tower.
On the other hand, it will be much more difficult for the prince of Shunyang County to do this, he needs to know that Qiao Shu will stay in Biyun Tower at night, and expect that you will be drunk, so he can quietly attack Qiao Shu.
But now that he's done, why kidnap you? If you are worried that you will leak your secrets, it would be more appropriate to kill you in the same way. ”
Hearing this, Xiangcui swallowed and clutched the handkerchief in her hand tightly.
"Also, when you find blood stains on your body, you are very panicked on the surface, but you forget that you can't pretend to be really afraid, and you should take off your clothes immediately, instead of walking around with these blood stains until someone in the yamen asks you for your clothes.
This case seems to be designed seamlessly, but in fact, it is full of loopholes, such as the prince of Shunyang County, who used his usual dagger to kill people, doesn't this tell the world that people are killed by him.
Too many coincidences, that's a human calculation. ”
Xiangcui pursed her lips tightly and didn't say a word, as if she was afraid of saying the wrong thing again, so that Miss Xu could find out more secrets.
"Let's not talk about Qiao Shu," Xu Qinghuan looked at the green cloth burden on the table, "Let's talk about you, don't you think it's strange?" Why was he targeted as soon as he came out, why did the prince of Shunyang County kill you, have you also forgotten that the prince of Shunyang County is not a murderer, and if the prince wants to exonerate himself, he must not kill you, on the contrary, he will protect your safety, so that you can tell the truth. ”
Xiangcui trembled, and her eyes suddenly widened, as if she had thought of something.
Xu Qinghuan said: "You appeared here with these soft things, if you were killed again, wouldn't you also become the second Qiao Shu." ”
"You," Xiangcui said in a trembling voice, "You mean that someone deliberately asked me to leave, just to kill me here and blame the prince of Shunyang County?"
No, you're wrong, no one will do that, everything ...... It's all done by the Shunyang County Palace, and what you said is a lie. ”
"Really?" Xu Qinghuan said, "You think about it carefully, what is true and what is false, no matter what happens, seeing is believing, now I will let you meet someone, you will definitely change your mind." ”
