The two officials returned to the county office, explained the general situation of the matter, and then spoke:

"Master, the daughter of the Jiang family didn't see anything, and now that this clue is broken, it's better to settle it hastily, why bother thinking about it."

The county lord Li Cheng glanced at the two of them, and said with a cold snort:

"If it's really as simple as the two of you think, what did I send you two to Chaoyun Village to do, do you think I'm idle, sir?"

Hearing this, the two officials were a little confused, and one of them, a man named Liu Xing, asked puzzledly:

"Master, could it be that someone on top of this case is asking about it? What's so special about the Jiang family? ”

"Even if you kid is a little smart, this matter, a letter came from Zhongzhou, saying that we must investigate carefully, although we don't attach much importance to it, but in the end, someone was sent to ask, this situation is different."

Li Cheng said, his little eyes narrowed, and he seemed to remember that this dead widow of the Jiang family, Qin Lan, seemed to be married from Zhongzhou, could it be the daughter of some official eunuch.

Liu Hong, who was on the side, arched his hand and said:

"Then my second brother and I will go to Chaoyun Village again and bring Xing Yanzuo with us, maybe we will find something."

Xian Cheng pondered for a moment, nodded, and then asked:

"Except for Qin Lan, those three children are still alive, right?"

"They are all alive, the eldest daughter Jiang Zhi was the most seriously injured, she was slashed on the back, her forehead was broken, the youngest daughter Jiang Xi seems to have her eyes damaged, and the boy Jiang Li is fine."

Liu Xing opened his mouth and said.

"You go to the doctor of the Jiyi Hall to take a look, and if you can cure it, you will be cured, I heard that someone from Chungju came over there in two days."

The county looked at Liu Xing and the two of them, and opened his mouth to command.

Liu Xing nodded hurriedly and said:

"Please rest assured, my eldest brother and I will definitely take care of the Jiang family's siblings."

Liu Cheng watched the two of them leave, stood up and walked towards the back hall, he got up too early today and he had to go back to make up for sleep.

"Don't move."

With a cold drink, Liu Chengcheng felt that his neck was cold, and the cold was pressing.

Liu Cheng was startled, raised his head and cautiously glanced at the man in black, and the eyes that caught his eyes were not warm.

"Uncle, you... If you have something to say, say it well....."

Liu Cheng hurriedly waved his hand, looking at the man in black with pleading in his eyes, he had just been a county minister for less than two years, but he didn't want to lose his life in such a daze.

The knife in the black-clothed man's hand didn't move, looked at Liu Cheng, and said:

"You shouldn't ask about it."

Hearing this, Liu Cheng didn't understand anything, and then smiled bitterly:

"It's not that I want to ask, it's that Zhongzhou is forcing me to ask....but since you said it, uncle, then I won't ask anymore."

Liu Cheng was halfway through speaking, watching the man in black's face become more and more ugly, and hurriedly changed his tone.

Hearing this, the man in black sneered, and then spoke:

"You're sensible, but how do you explain it to Chungju?"

"Uncle, what do you say?"

When Liu Cheng heard the words of the man in black, he almost cried, this is not good, that is not good, what do you want him to do.

The knife in the hand of the man in black was slowly taken down from Liu Cheng's neck, his eyes narrowed, and the cold light shone, and he asked:

"What did you officials find today?"

Liu Cheng's face turned pale suddenly, and he hurriedly shook his head and said:

"I didn't find anything, the Jiang girl was scared at the time, she didn't raise her head, she didn't remember anything, this is also where I am embarrassed, I can't find anything."

Hearing this, the man in black softened slightly, nodded, then looked at Liu Cheng, and said with a touch of determination:

"Don't worry, do as I say, the murderer will appear soon."

Liu Cheng obviously didn't expect the man in black to say this, he was stunned for a moment, nodded and said:

"Listen to the uncle."

"Do as I say, and you'll be promoted."

The hoarse voice of the man in black was accompanied by a sinister laugh, as well as the sound of willow leaves rustling outside, which made Liu Cheng not feel joy at all, but was full of excitement.

……….

Jiang Zhi, female, 11 years old....

Mother, Qin Lan, a rich lady, eloped with her father Jiang Jianxiu.

Father, Jiang Jianxiu, a down-and-out martial artist, attacked the southern border seven years ago and joined the army.

The younger brother, Jiang Li, is seven years old.

Younger sister, Jiang Xi, seven years old.

Jiang Zhi lay on the bed, staring at the dilapidated bedtop, thinking back to the family tree that was not complicated from Liu Yong's mouth today.

Mother Qin Lan has rarely left the village and has few friends, but two months ago, she suddenly went to the south to find her father Jiang Jianxiu, and when she came back, she brought back Jiang Jianxiu's ashes.

This reminded Jiang Zhi of what happened last night, after the man in black broke into the courtyard, he directly started to kill Qin Lan and her, and he was ruthless, obviously preparing to kill him.

Extinguish the mouth....

Thinking of this, Jiang Zhi sat up from the bed, her amber eyes flashed with a sharp light, and her gaze suddenly turned to the window.

Chaoyun Village is located in the south, and it is already hot in early summer, so the windows are open, and you can see the inky starry sky outside at a glance, and sometimes a wisp of fresh wind blows, bringing a hint of coolness.

Jiang Zhi's face became more and more cold, picked up the coat on the side and put it on her body, wearing straw sandals, and slowly walked to the window, her eyes darkened.

Since the purpose of the man in black is to kill her, how can he let her live, so tonight, will he still come to kill her and kill her......

"Oh no, it's water...."

Just as Jiang Zhi was pondering, she suddenly heard a commotion outside the door, and when she looked up again, the originally dark night sky was fiery red.

"Xiao Li, Xiao Xi, wake up..."

Jiang Zhi hurriedly walked to the side of the bed and woke up the two sleeping children while observing the fire outside.

The three of them moved very quickly, and in less than half a pillar of incense, they all got dressed and walked out of the room, and the sky was already red at this time.

"Uncle Liu, Uncle Liu..."

Jiang Zhi pulled the two children to stand outside the courtyard, but found that Liu Yong had not come out at this time, so he hurriedly came to the east house to call people.

As soon as the door opened, Jiang Zhi felt a cold light slashing towards her face, and a man in black jumped out of the room.

Jiang Zhi hurriedly pulled the two children backwards and flashed back, and then she dodged it embarrassmently, and a strand of dry and yellow hair fell down the air.

Looking at the blade of the knife, there was still blood dripping on it, Jiang Zhi knew that Uncle Liu in the house had been killed by this person, and she was a little defensive to protect the two children and retreated, with a trace of murderous intent flashing in her eyes.

From the moment she opened her eyes, the man in front of her hurt her again and again, hurting the people around her, how could she not be angry.

"Xiao Li, take your sister to hide, go quickly."

Hearing Jiang Zhi's words, Jiang Li's dark eyes turned, and then he quickly took Jiang Xi's hand and ran straight to the outside of the courtyard.

Seeing that the two children were gone, Jiang Zhi was relieved, but when her eyes touched the smiling gaze of the man in black, she was puzzled.

Since the man in black wants to kill him, why is she still allowed to let the two children go.
