On New Year's night, fireworks bloom under the starry sky, and there is no change in the homes of the rich families in such a snowstorm year, they are still very lively, with delicacies from the mountains and seas, and outside the courtyard wall, the streets of Qingzhou Mansion can be seen from time to time on the streets of Qingzhou City, hugging in twos and threes, begging everywhere in the lively streets.

Jing Yixuan, closed for a few days, but on this day, the door was opened to prepare a Chinese New Year's Eve banquet for the disaster victims, although there were not many, but there were also fish and meat, so that those disaster victims who originally complained about Qingyan were suddenly speechless.

Jasmine looked at the long queue of victims and was very angry: if it weren't for the request of the county king, she would definitely not prepare these things for these people, and it was too annoying to take revenge even though she had received favors from others.

Just like Zhao Da in the decaying mountain temple outside Qingzhou City, he constantly instigated the desperate victims to rise up and resist: "Robbed Zhizhou, seized Qinhou, and killed the rich households in the city, we will become human beings from now on, do you want it?" ”

"Yes!" The shouts were terrifying, and everyone's eyes were glowing with greedy green light.

The time has come, Qingyan and her family returned to her courtyard after keeping the New Year, watching the night sky gradually stop and return to calm, but her heart is not calm.

"Miss, go to bed early!" Yi Han made the bed, turned around and helped her sit down.

"Yihan, is everyone sleeping?" She still looked out the window at the night, and the uneasiness in her heart gradually magnified, and she always felt that even in a disaster year, it was too peaceful, and the small merchants in the city were not affected by the snow disaster.

"It should be, it's late after all." She took the hotly scalded handkerchief and handed it over.

"Qingping—" She didn't answer, but stood up and called softly.

I was surprised, I don't understand what's going on?

"I've seen Miss!" Qingping jumped in through the window, and there was no joy or anger on his cold face.

"Tell Ling Shan, Qing Ning, Qing An and other guards to prepare for battle."

"Fighting?" Yi Han and Qingping looked at her puzzled at the same time, at the beginning of the new year, where is this enemy?

"Go!" Her uneasiness intensified, and she scolded angrily before she had time to explain. Seeing this, Qingping turned around and walked like the wind, disappearing into the night sky in the blink of an eye, and then Ling Shan appeared, silently guarding her side.

"With the cold, I will immediately arouse Xuan and others, and send them to Changyue Garden, Lianxiang Courtyard, Yuqin Building, Houxian Pavilion, Caohui Hall, and Peony Garden; Let them tell everyone that they will sleep tonight, and the mother-in-law and the little maid in the courtyard will be in good spirits, and they will report it immediately if there is a slight disturbance. ”

"Yes!" She didn't dare to slack off and left quickly.

"Ling Shan, did you say you would come?" Qingyan looked at the unusually quiet night sky, and suddenly suffered some gains and losses.

"I don't know, but it's always good to be careful!" Her eyes flashed, the scar on her face had faded a little from the effect of snow lotus gum, and her cold breath had become a little mild.

"That's right!" She exhaled a long breath and smiled indifferently.

"See the Gunjun!" Qingning and Qing'an appeared outside the window at the same time, kneeling on one knee.

"Get up! Did your grandfather and father ask you to come? ”

"Yes! Hou Ye said, but what did you find? ”

"That's what the lord meant!" Qing Ning said, glanced at Ling Shan behind her, and lowered his head silently, he had heard about her and Qingping, and he thought that there was a chance before, but at that time, he only thought it was curiosity, until he knew it later, and he unconsciously put it in his heart, but now it is too late.

"I just think it's too quiet on a night like this." She casually looked at the night sky, and then was attracted by a bright light that suddenly appeared in the sky: "This is to prepare, this is not fireworks, this is a signal!" ”

When Ling Shan, Qing Ning, and Qing An heard this, their faces changed greatly, thinking that at least half of the people in the city were affected, and if there was really a riot, these guards in the mansion alone would not be able to stop it, but even if they understood this, the latter two still left quickly.

"Yan'er, what's going on?" Qinglian was already lying down, and after hearing the news from Jasmine, she immediately put on her clothes and came with the maid, and saw the scene in front of her.

"The riot has started, Ling Shan, you go to Yuqin Mansion and Houxian Pavilion to send Nuan'er and Brother Cheng'er to Changyue Garden! Sister, let's go to Mother now! ”

The group of soldiers divided into two ways, when they arrived at Changyue Garden, it was already brightly lit, and the mother and Mama Liu, Du Juan, Du Ruo and a few mothers-in-law were guarding the main house, and Qingyuan was guarding outside the door.

"Mother—"

"Yan'er, Lian'er, it's really good that you have nothing to do, Nuan'er and Brother Cheng'er's mother-in-law have already sent Sang Lan, Yulan and a few mothers-in-law to pick them up." Jiang Yingyue said, pulling the two of them to her side, although the words of comfort were in her mouth, they still heard a strong sense of uneasiness from them, and then looked at Mama Liu, who was waiting strictly, and knew in her heart that if she hadn't stopped her, she was afraid that her mother would have run out and look for the four sisters and brothers.

"Mother, don't worry too much, I-"

"Mother-"

As soon as Qing Yan wanted to say something to comfort, she saw Qing Nuan and Qing Xuancheng walking in with the maids, and Ling Shan followed last, with a solemn face on her indifferent face.

"What's going on outside?" She saw her mother, sister talking to her younger sister, and younger brothers, and walked to Ling Shan's side and asked softly.

"I saw the news of going out to investigate just now, and I heard that the Zhizhou Mansion has been breached, but Lord Zhao's family is not in the mansion, and the victims are excited, smashing Jing Yixuan, and now they have rushed to the Hou Mansion."

"Is that really the case? Fortunately, the uncle returned to the daimyo, the husband stayed in the Chen Dong Mansion, and Jasmine and the guys also went back to their respective homes, otherwise once they were targeted, I was afraid that no one would be spared. She secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Ahh

At this time, Jiang Yingyue, Qinglian and others were suddenly startled, and looked out of the window in fear, Qing Nuan, Qing Xuancheng was too young after all, and at this time he was already frightened and burst into tears, clutching his mother's clothes.

"Mother, father went to grandfather?"

"Yes! Your father didn't feel at ease, so he took Qingning over! ”

Bang –

Keng——

Qingyan was not at ease, just wanted to go to check the situation of Caohui Hall, then heard the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground outside the house, and then the sound of weapons connecting with each other, his face changed greatly, he walked to the window, looked out, and saw that there were more than a dozen victims in the courtyard, and there were victims on the courtyard wall who continued to leap forward, although Qingyuan had martial arts, but his fists were invincible with four hands, and several chaotic people had jumped over him and rushed to the main house.

"Ling Shan—stop them, remember! Don't hurt your life! ”

"At this time, you can still think about the lives of others, I really don't know if you are ruthless or gentle and kind." She complained a few words, opened the door, quickly closed it, and rushed into the courtyard, dislocated the hands and feet of the rioters in a few strokes, and lay on the ground wailing, and also frightened those who had not yet approached the rioters to stand in terror in place.

"What are you doing in a daze? Let's go up together, knock her down, rush into that house, and we'll have food and silver!" ”

"If you want to live a good life, why don't you give it to me, Lao Tzu doesn't believe it, let's rush in together, can the two of them stop it?"

"Do you want to know the state capital? actually escaped ahead of time, and didn't even leave a drop of water, do you think that if you don't kill them, you may still be alive? ”

"Why should we accept handouts from the rich? Why don't they give up all their wealth and rebuild our homes for us? Why can they have a lively New Year? Are you willing? ”

Several loud shouts suddenly sounded in the courtyard, which successfully aroused the dissatisfaction of the people with Zhizhou in their hearts, and they all had red eyes, and rushed over with hoes and wooden sticks in their hands.

Seeing this, Qing Yan secretly complained, there were only Qing Yuan and Ling Shan outside, and there were actually fifty or sixty people in the chaos, no matter how advanced their martial arts were, it was impossible to protect them, not to mention that there were more chaotic people jumping over the courtyard wall. But if you want to get out of here at this time, it is impossible, once you get out, who can be sure that there will be no danger on the road?

"It's water, it's water!"

At this moment, a frightened call suddenly came from the direction of the peony garden, Qingyan hurriedly opened the corner of the window, only to see the northeast corner of the fire, and then saw the third lady with Qinglong, Qing Xuanlei and a group of mothers-in-law running in this direction in a panic, but before they got close to Tingyuxuan, dozens of chaotic people rushed out of the Four Seasons Garden, all holding hoes and sticks and staring at a few people.

"Mother, what should I do?" Qinglong grabbed the third lady's arm tightly, and her frightened eyes were hazy with tears.

"Long'er, don't be afraid—"

"Ahh

As soon as the third lady Li Wanru exited, the surrounding chaos people swarmed up, Qinglong screamed, desperately grabbing her mother's arm, causing her younger brother Qing Xuanlei behind her to be knocked down without checking, and suddenly screamed miserably, and then the group was drowned in the chaos people.

Bang - Bang Bang -

Just as Qingyan hesitated whether to save him, he saw Qingping descending from the sky, and all the chaotic people were knocked to the ground in an instant, the third lady was disheveled, her hair was messy, and the jewelry on her body disappeared; Qing Xuanlei's nose and face were swollen, his right leg was deformed, and he was already in a coma, not knowing life and death; Qinglong's face was pale, his eyes were empty, and deafening screams continued to come from his wide open mouth.

Qing Pingli didn't pay attention to it, and walked directly to Changyue Garden, the third lady saw this, and asked the mother-in-law to hurriedly lift Qing Xuanlei, and she pulled Qinglong, followed closely behind him, and went straight to Tingyuxuan Changyue Garden.

At the same time, the screams outside the courtyard came one after another, but after a while, the sound of the fight stopped, the door was opened in a creak, under the starry sky, you can see the chaotic people in the courtyard lying on the ground, and except for those who were injured by Ling Shan and Qingyuan at the beginning, the rest were lying on the ground covered in blood, and the rich bloody atmosphere rushed into the room in an instant, making Jiang Yingyue and the others frequently gag, Qinglian, Qingnuan, and Qing Xuancheng were even more frightened and tearful.

Qingyan frowned, she remembered that she had confessed not to hurt people's lives, who did the killer?
