Chapter 21: Murder
Wuzhu has already become a frightened bird after being tortured for a while, and as soon as Steward Liu moved, she turned around and ran against the wall. The horse clan man in the back raised his knife and threw it out, which was right in the aftermath of Liu's heart!
The knife thrown with the power of Wan Jun made Steward Liu, who was in the process of "death", faster, and he couldn't catch up with Wuzhu for a while with his own strength, so he seemed to fly over, and his outstretched hand spasmed painfully and grabbed a handful of Wuzhu's hair. As he fell to the ground, Wuzhu was dragged to the ground.
Both fell to the ground, head to head. Wuzhu was dizzy and dizzy, and what he saw when he had just regained his clarity was a face full of shock, fear, and disbelief, bloodshot eyes, and blood spilling from the corners of his mouth......
For a while, the bloody moment that could not be concealed with all her strength in the depths of her memory broke out, and she let out a terrible scream: "Ah......hhhhhhhh
At this time, Ma Cheng was walking the path she had walked twice before. That shout was too terrifying, even ordinary people would be creepy when they heard such a sound late at night, let alone the horse of the master! For a while, countless conjectures came to mind, and Ma Cheng, who had never been afraid of heaven and earth, suddenly panicked and galloped wildly.
When Ma Cheng's subordinates broke into the door, the subordinates guarding the door finally realized the seriousness of the matter and hurriedly ran inside to inform the master. At this time, the owner who hurriedly put on his coat rushed over from the inside and was meeting Ma Cheng and the others.
"Who are you, why did you break into my Zhou Mansion late at night?" The person who came was Zhou Jing, the son of the Zhou Mansion, who was knowledgeable, loyal and tame, and was once recommended to enter the court as an official, coinciding with the death of his grandmother, and he had been worried at home for more than a year.
Ma Cheng couldn't find an outlet for his anger, and was just in time to ask Zhou Jing where he got his good temper to explain to him, raised his leg and kicked between Zhou Jing's chest and abdomen, and shouted: "Get out!" β
"Childe!"
"Childe ......"
The servants of the Zhou family were in a mess, Ma Cheng turned a deaf ear, and ran fast with the subordinates who led the way.
"Uzhu!" Ma Cheng saw one of his subordinates squatting on the ground, next to Wuzhu's half body, and stepped over in two steps to push away his subordinates and hold Wuzhu in his arms, while checking whether she was injured.
She didn't have any external injuries except for some hair, which was still held by the dead man, who was breaking the dead man's hand to help her untie her hair.
Wuzhu was not injured, but his body kept shaking, his eyes looked helplessly, and he muttered something: "Don't kill, don't kill......"
Ma Cheng's heart seemed to be kicked by the horse's hooves, and he was heavy and a little suffocated for a while, so he could only hug her tightly and comfort her: "It's okay, it's all over." When the subordinate who was still carefully breaking the dead man's palm even after being pushed away completely freed Wuzhu's hair, he walked out with her in his arms.
Although the subordinates of Zhou Jing's family also picked up sticks, they didn't dare to stop these robbers who broke into the house late at night and carried real murder weapons, not to mention that the master had already fallen.
A steward was trembling and was squeezed to the front by everyone: "You are the Ma family?" β
Ma Cheng didn't bother to pay attention to it at all, and the guard who followed closely behind him replied: "Yes, the people who dare to detain my Ma family, you are impatient!" β
What the?
Breaking into people's houses at night, committing murder and injuring people and spewing blood!
Some of the people of the Zhou family were stunned and angry, and they didn't know what to say for a while!
After the Ma family was almost gone, someone trembled and proposed: "Let's report to the official, shall we?" β
"That's right, report to the officer! This Qingcheng is not the racetrack of his horse's family! The crowd was excited, and some people ran to set up the car, and some people went out with the housekeeper in their arms. The rest of the women gathered around Zhou Jing and wept, and some prepared white cloths.
Zhou Jing's father was an official hundreds of miles away, and the government did not dare to slack off, so he sent someone to check the scene overnight, and questioned all the servants of the Zhou family one by one, and recorded the confession. The facts are clear, and the murderer is also very clear, but whether you can take it or not is not so easy to say.
This night, Lord Yin of Qingcheng Mansion had a headache.
These are all trivial things, Ma Cheng didn't think about it at all, he returned to the post house with Wuzhu in his arms, and checked again that there were no injuries, so he covered her with a quilt and lay down next to her gently.
Wuzhu's fear subsided a little, and at this time he just stared at it, and his breathing slowly calmed down.
Ma Cheng looked at her sideways, and wanted to pull her hand but was refused, so he gave up, looked at it for a long time and said, "Who is helping you?" β
Wuzhu's breathing was chaotic, and the corners of his mouth tightened, not wanting to answer.
Ma Cheng: "Do you think if you don't say it, I won't be able to find out?" But you didn't please you today, so I won't punish you again. "He was touched by his kindness, as if he had given great grace to heaven." You can also see how terrible the people out there are, only I am good to you. You just stayed with me honestly, did you hear me? β
Wuzhu was originally silent, his words entered his ears, turned around in his mind, and then she analyzed the meaning and reacted, and it took a long time. She turned her face to look at him in surprise and said, "Noβto face." β
The warmth on Ma Cheng's face froze, and he reached out and pressed it on her neck, and with a little effort he could finish her, no more than killing a lamb.
Breathing was blocked, and Wuzhu's face slowly turned red, but she glared at him stubbornly, refusing to spit out a word and begging for mercy.
The anger in Ma Cheng's heart was higher and higher, but it was always within the range of reason, and at the end, he withdrew his hand and sat up. "How do I know which one is your family, if you die, you will die, and you will not be able to live anymore, will you fight me for a few dead people!"
A few dead people......
Wuzhu was instantly furious, originally she didn't have the strength to fight him at this time.
"All my people, more than a hundred! You madman, you murderer! She didn't care about the disparity in strength at all, and opened her five fingers to scratch and scratch the flesh on Ma Cheng's face and neck.
Punches and slaps didn't work, she tried many times.
Ma Cheng tilted his head to avoid his face, and scratched three blood marks on his neck, and he held her impatiently. "Don't make trouble, I drank a lot today, I endured it hard, you make trouble with me again......"
Wuzhu didn't know if he didn't hear or didn't care what he said, and his waving hands showed no sign of dying down, and he had to pull off a piece of the belt flesh before he stopped.
It was too easy for Ma Cheng to subdue her, so he grabbed her wrist and pressed it on top of her head, and "tore" her other hand to open the prelude to the night......
"Brute ......"
Helan slept late, naturally got up late, and before the sun had risen three poles, an uninvited guest in the palace came outside the door. Helan Qin, who was disturbed, was slightly dissatisfied: "What's the matter?" β
"The inner supervisor in the palace, Ma Cheng killed someone last night, and the defendant went to the Qingcheng Mansion, and the lord asked the prince to come forward to get someone."
