When Xie Xuan walked into the house with a few subordinates again, he saw that the house was indeed empty except for a few screens and a bed, the four walls of the house were gray, the roof tiles had not been moved, it looked like it was airtight, only there was a small open skylight next to Hu's bed, but it was not enough for the two of them to escape in such a short time.

So Xie Xuan ordered someone to push the Hu bed away, that is, the moment the Hu bed was pushed away, an arrow swooped towards him, and gradually enlarged in Ziran's eyes when he looked back, seeing that the arrow was about to shoot through Xie Xuan's chest, only to see Xie Xuan tilt his head and bend his waist, and the arrow grazed the tip of his nose and nailed it to the wall with a sound.

Ziran immediately ran to Xie Xuan's side, still a little frightened and asked, "Xie Qilangjun, are you okay?" After asking, he said, "Lang Jun, why don't we go out first, it's too dangerous here." ”

He was really a little afraid, if Shicai's arrow really hit Xie Xuan, how would he explain to his mother and how would he explain to the Xie family.

Fortunately, this Xie Qilangjun is not a stubborn person, he nodded and said, "Okay." He immediately ordered the Xie clan to go out with him.

In the courtyard, the group of Hu female killers were still inseparable from the prison officials, and the leading court captain Zuo Jian was originally hiding from the side to watch, but at this time he saw Xie Xuan walking out of the house, but immediately rushed over, and asked flatteringly: "Xie Qilangjun, are these people you asked me to arrest?" ”

Xie Xuan said: "There is one more person." ”

The left prisoner of Tingwei looked left and right, but did not see anyone else, so he asked, "Then, what about that person?" ”

"I escaped."

"Escaped?"

Ting Wei Zuo Jian suddenly raised his voice, but when he saw Xie Xuan's gaze, he suddenly closed his mouth again.

"Lu Zuojian, you are on business, you don't have to ask my opinion on everything." Xie Xuan frowned suddenly and said, "Last time on Hongwu Street, Gu Min was assassinated, how did you investigate?" Have you found out who the murderer is? ”

Eunuch Lu Zuo hurriedly lowered his head with a look of shame and replied: "No, the murderer is too cunning and has not left any clues." ”

"Are you sure she must have left no clues?" Xie Xuan said, and took out a long spike palace silk with a jade bow from his sleeve, showed it in front of the left eunuch of the court lieutenant, and said, "This is the clue left by the murderer after he stood on the roof of the wine shop and shot an arrow at us, in addition, you also go to check if that arrow is the same as the arrow that assassinated Gu Shiniang?" ”

Almost as soon as he said this, the Yu family, who was held aside by the two subordinates, trembled, looked straight at the palace silk in his hand, and his face turned pale.

Originally, her expression changed only in an instant, and she quickly regained her composure, but Xie Xuan deliberately glanced at her with her afterglow when she said this, so no matter how subtle the expression on her face was, she could see it all.

The left eunuch of the court lieutenant is also an extremely shrewd person, and when he noticed that Xie Xuan was looking at the Yu clan, he immediately shouted: "Why don't you catch this murderer and bring him in for interrogation!" ”

Yu Shi trembled in horror, and hurriedly shouted: "I'm not a murderer, I didn't kill anyone, why are you arresting me, I'm Mrs. Ru of Gu Sanlang's Gu Gu Yushi!" ”

Ziran couldn't help but shake his head: At this time, I remembered that I was still Mrs. Ru of Gu Sanlang, I knew this was the case, so why bother in the first place?

The Lieutenant Zuo Supervisor glanced at her, first laughed, and then teased unceremoniously: "How can there be a lady who comes out to meet a man privately?" I heard what this Gu family member said just now, no matter what, the identity of Mrs. Ru who can appear here is always questionable, and my duty is to arrest all the suspects and send them to the court for interrogation. ”

"Madame, you should come with us and tell us your true identity!"

He added another sentence, Yu's originally pale face became even paler, his body shook a little, his lips spurted as if he wanted to justify, and after all, he didn't dare to say anything and lowered his head.

At this time, the Yu family bowed her head like an old woman, and the vicissitudes of life seemed to have suddenly aged several years.

A trace of pity flashed in Ziran's eyes, but there was no sympathy.

At this time, the Hu female killers who fought with the prison officials in the courtyard finally fell into the upper hand due to being outnumbered, and many women simply wiped their necks when they were captured, and finally only three women were stopped in time and tied up.

"Xie Qilangjun, I will bring these people back to Tingwei, but what should I do with the person who escaped? I don't know his appearance, I don't know his identity, I don't know how to pursue it? ”

Tingwei Zuojian asked tentatively again, Xie Xuan looked at him and replied: "You don't need a portrait, you just need to write on the notice that this person is the owner of Chongqi Building, and his most striking feature is that his eyes are light blue, and he is a Xianbei person!" ”

Ting Wei's face changed in an instant: Xianbei people! It is said that Xianbei people are very good at martial arts, which is the nature of jackals!

While his heart was drumming, he suddenly heard a woman's clear voice shouting, "Ah-"

In a blink of an eye, I saw a girl in a white robe with a jade and pine temperament hurriedly walked into this courtyard with several subordinates.

The person who came was Xie Daoyun.

Seeing Xie Xuan standing in the courtyard safe and sound from a distance, Xie Daoyun couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief, as if a tight heartstring was loosened in an instant, and her slightly pale face slowly returned to red.

However, at this moment, Xie Xuan suddenly shouted: "Sister, get out of the way!" ”

And almost as soon as this shout was heard, Xie Daoyun's vision was dark, and there was a "poof" sound in her ears, and a tall figure was immediately reflected in her wide eyes, and the back of her heart that was pierced by the long sword suddenly flowed like blood.

The person who stabbed this sword was Ah Yu, no one thought that even if this woman's hands were cut, she would be able to break free in an instant, and stab the long sword at Xie Daoyun, if it weren't for the person who blocked it with his body, I was afraid that this sword would pierce Xie Daoyun's chest!

This sudden change made most of the people in the courtyard dumbfounded for a while, and after a long while, the left prisoner of the court lieutenant shouted in shock: "Quick, catch her!" Get her! ”

But obviously, by the time he reacted, it was too late, and the girl had already drawn her sword and jumped onto the roof, and disappeared in a few jumps like a phantom.

The left prisoner of Tingwei opened his mouth wide and did not dare to speak.

Xie Xuan was also shocked, and hurriedly walked over to Xie Daoyun, and asked reproachfully with some fear: "Sister, what are you doing here?" Don't you know it's dangerous here? ”

"It's because of the danger that I came, I want to ask, why did you come here, if someone hadn't sent me a letter, I wouldn't have known that you actually used yourself as bait to follow Mrs. Gu to this place." Xie Daoyun also said angrily.

Xie Xuan didn't know that this sister was worried about him, so he had to sigh: "That's it, sister, let's go back quickly!" ”

Xie Daoyun didn't say much, and hurriedly waved a few Xie tribes to follow, and the group quickly walked out of the peach forest, took the carriage back to Wuyi Lane, and as soon as they returned to Xie's mansion, Xie Xuan immediately gathered a hundred tribesmen, saying that he was going to Baishi immediately to convey the news of his son in the hands of the owner of Chongqilou to Da Sima Wen.

Xie Daoyun always felt that his mood was wrong, and he asked many times, but he couldn't ask a reason, until he rode a horse and wanted to ride out, he said: "Sister, no matter what the result of Ah Yu's conversation with Da Sima Wen is, I only know that if I don't go, I will regret it in this life!" ”

"Strategy—"

The horses neighed and galloped out, as fast as lightning, and a group of knights immediately dotted the lush official road.

The sun has set, the moon is about to rise, and the night is descending like thick ink, shrouding the mountains and forests not far away.

Huan Che watched the torch raised on the official road fade away like stars shining in the dark night, and couldn't help but look at the man standing on the top of the mountain with him, and asked, "Have you ever regretted it?" ”

The man pondered for a moment, then smiled and asked, "What do you mean?" ”

"Since I was a child, I have also been taught by my mother to the book of a hundred schools, especially Confucianism, whether it is Confucius or Zhuang Lao, will first teach us a benevolent word, knowing grace and retribution, is the most basic moral concept of people."

"You're scolding me for being inhumane and killing my benefactor." The man said, looking sideways at him, "You look down on me too?" ”

"I just want to know, until now, do you think you're doing the right thing?" Huan Che asked again.

The man smiled and said, "Lao Tzu also said a sentence: Absolute sainthood abandons wisdom, and the people benefit a hundred times; Absolute benevolence and abandonment of righteousness, and the people restore filial piety; There are no thieves who abandon profit. Only when people do three absolutes and three abandonments, that is the real way to do heaven. ”

Huan Che was suddenly stunned and speechless.

The man said: "If you want to say that my heart is painful and sad, I must have had it, until now, she will often come into my dreams, but I don't regret it, because only in this way will she live in my heart forever, tell me that the path that has been chosen, you can only go all the way, because there is no regret in this world." ”

"Can you really be so cold-hearted?" Huan Che asked again.

The man smiled and said: "I also have times when my heart is soft, for example, when she died, she held my hand tightly and begged me to let her daughter live, at that moment, I would have a little satisfaction, at least she still believed in me, as long as she believed in me, I could agree to all her requests." ”

"When she died, I was also very sad and sad, but I knew that from now on, I can truly be benevolent, do what I should do, follow the path I should take, and I will not have any weaknesses."

Huan Che had nothing to say anymore, he only felt a biting cold wind all over his body, it turned out that he was indeed not a good person, was it because he also had half of the wolf's blood on his body?

Thinking like this, Huan Che also secretly clenched a silver needle in his hand, which he had taken from the dead maid.

Unexpectedly, at this time, I heard the man say: "The most painful thing for people is to wander between morality and ideals, I know that you are also afraid of me, especially my face, I live to be a threat to your identity, and maybe it will make you feel ashamed." ”

As he spoke, he paused, then looked at Huan Che and smiled, "Don't worry, after seeing you today, from now on, I will not appear on any piece of land in the Great Jin Dynasty again."

I brought you here just to give you something. ”

As he spoke, he took out a thick stack of parchment rolls from his arms, handed them to Huan Che, and said, "This is the wealth I have accumulated all my life, and I will give it all to you, but I have only one request." ”

Huan Che raised his eyes to look at him, and listened to him: "After your father replaces the Jin Emperor, you will replace him!" ”
