"I didn't expect him to die... I killed someone... I killed someone......" Sun Min squatted in the corner, muttering incoherently.

Qi Ling looked at her blankly, and was finally pulled out by Gu Jinfeng.

The autumn wind in the courtyard was continuous, and she suddenly woke up.

She pulled Gu Jinfeng's sleeve with a sad expression: "I really didn't expect Sister Sun, she would be... What should I do now? ”

He said helplessly: "You are really going to cause trouble for me, now Dali Temple has been searched near the martial arts arena, if you want to keep her, while the capital has not yet been investigated, you have to send her away as soon as it dawns tomorrow." ”

Qi Ling gritted his teeth and responded: "Okay, then I'll take care of it tonight, and I can send her out of the city tomorrow morning!" ”

Zhou Cheng is innocent of death, but he can't compensate for Sun Min because of such a person, so even if Qi Lingdang makes up his mind, he must ensure Sun Min's safety no matter what.

Zhou Kaiming, who saw his son's death, didn't wake up until the evening, and the first thing he did after waking up was to ask Zhou Cheng, and the housekeeper looked regretful: "My lord, young master, he... If you can't come back, you'd better mourn and change..."

Zhou Kaiming fell on the bed weakly, staring at the top of the bed with blank eyes, and a tear slowly fell from the corner of his eye.

He opened his mouth, choked up a thousand words in his throat but couldn't say anything, and finally had to spit out a sentence: "Go and get my son back." ”

That night, the housekeeper sent someone to pick up Zhou Cheng's body there, and the next day, Zhou put on white robes and hung white lanterns up and down the Zhou Mansion to hold a funeral for Zhou Cheng.

Hengzong naturally knew about it for the first time, although he was very ashamed of Zhou Cheng's character, but Zhou Kaiming was the secretary of the military department, so he sent people to mourn, and it was also rumored that Zhou Kaiming would mourn and change, and said that this matter would definitely let Dali Temple investigate to the end.

Zhou Cheng's death seems to have taken away the last backbone of Zhou Kaiming, and a lot of gray hair grew on his head overnight, Xu Yu looked at him kneeling down in front of the coffin and burning paper, his expression was numb, just like a lost soul, where is there still a dominating appearance in the court?

He sighed, took the incense candle from the attendant, and inserted it into the censer in front of the tablet.

"Lord Zhou, the festival mourns and changes."

Zhou Kaiming paused for burning paper, and pulled the corners of his mouth with difficulty: "Thank you Lord Xu for your concern, housekeeper, take the adult to the wing room to rest." ”

"Yes, Lord Xu, please."

The scene of the Zhou Mansion gathering together had nothing to do with Qi Ling, as soon as the sky was a little bright, she called a carriage to take Sun Min to the city gate, and there were not many people out of the city at the moment, which made her breathe a sigh of relief.

But before she could wait for a while, she blocked the city gate with a group of officials in black clothes pouring out from nowhere, as if she was going to investigate, which made her heart rise again.

Gu Jinfeng motioned for her to wait where she was for a while, while he himself went to the front to ask.

"This official, why did you suddenly seal the city gate? Is something happening? ”

"What, you're in a hurry?" The official looked him up and down, and snorted: "No matter how anxious it is, it's useless, this week, the adult's son was killed, and everyone who went out had to be investigated!" ”

As he spoke, he summoned a man dressed as a steward and ordered: "You have to look carefully, you can't pull down a single one!" This is ordered by the saint, if you look away and let the murderer go, you will lose your head! ”

The steward nodded again and again: "Don't worry, I must have opened my eyes and looked carefully!" Never let go of a suspicious person! ”

Gu Jinfeng suddenly felt that things seemed to be getting a little tricky.

Qi Ling comforted Sun Min on the side: "Sister Sun, don't worry, I will definitely send you out safely, when you get out of the capital, you will go all the way south, to a place called Suming County, where there are my friends who will help you, I have prepared dry food and silver taels in the baggage, you must be careful when you go on the road alone!" ”

Sun Min took her hand and wanted to stop talking, originally she wanted to sneak away last night not to cause trouble for Qi Ling, but she didn't expect to be discovered, it was just a meeting in Pingshui, but she thought about herself so much that the guilt in her heart couldn't be calmed down for a long time.

What is Zhou Cheng's identity, there must be no way to escape if she kills him, she really doesn't want to involve a good person like Qi Ling, even if she knows that she killed someone, she doesn't dislike it, but tries her best to help her escape.

Gu Jinfeng came back soon, and Qi Ling hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

He shook his head: "I didn't expect them to move so fast, now the city gate has begun to check one by one, and they also brought a steward, Miss Sun, did you sneak into the venue yesterday in the name of the cook?" ”

Sun Min nodded with difficulty, Gu Jinfeng's brows furrowed into Sichuan characters: "Then it will be difficult to do it now, I guess the steward should be in the back kitchen of the venue, and he was brought out to recognize people at this moment, if he finds out, the consequences will be unimaginable." ”

"So what are we going to do now?" Qi Ling was anxious.

At this time, Sun Min knelt down in front of the two of them and begged: "Miss Qi, Gu Gongzi, I understand your kindness, now that I have made such a big mistake, let me bear it alone, you are good people, you are so dedicated to helping me, but in such an emergency situation, I can't let you take any more risks!" ”

Qi Ling hurriedly stepped forward to help, but Sun Min just refused to get up, and said vigorously that they should not take risks, because she was not worth it, and she was angry in her heart.

"Sister Sun, I have to make it clear to you today, if you kill someone else today, I will definitely not risk your life to help you like this, and I will even send you directly to the official mansion!"

Sun Min raised his tear-stained face and looked at her blankly, stammering, "That... Then you ......"

Qi Ling helped her up and said softly: "But the person you killed is a bastard who does all kinds of evil, killing him is equivalent to saving countless women like you, you are doing the right thing for heaven, so I want to protect you and let you leave the capital safely, you don't have any guilt, you did what I wanted to do the most, just kill Zhou Cheng and have my share!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, a burst of laughter came from the opposite corner.

"Qi girl, you have to speak quietly, be careful that people passing by hear it and reach Zhou Shangshu's ears, that's a big deal."

Qi Ling looked surprised: "Brother Ning! ”

Two figures walked out of the corner, it was Ning Ke and Qingyu.

Gu Jinfeng greeted him with a smile: "But Brother Ning is here, but the matter has been dealt with?" ”

Ning Ke rolled his eyes: "You guys are really good, such a big matter is still hidden from me and I want to deal with it privately, this Zhou Mansion has even sent people to the Holy Lord, which is enough to show the importance of the Zhou family, you are good, you are still harboring the murderer here!" ”

Qi Ling opened his arms to protect Sun Min and said dissatisfiedly: "That guy is innocent of death, and it is really cheap for him to die like this by doing all the bad things on weekdays, if I have to poke him seven or eight times to relieve his anger!" ”

"Okay, okay, I'm joking, now the people of Dali Temple have started to check at the city gate, thanks to Qingyu's coincidence, at noon, the adults are just going out of the city to send some things to the barracks, and for the time being, Miss Sun is hiding in it to avoid the limelight, you can wait directly outside the city at that time!"

Qi Ling was immediately overjoyed when he heard this, this Xu Yu was the first assistant of the court, and the people of this Dali Temple did not dare to check his car even if they were bold, what a clever plan!

Gu Jinfeng nodded: "It's really troublesome Brother Ning this time." ”

Qi Ling stuck out his tongue: "Yes, I'll send you more butchers when the time comes!" ”

Ning Ke couldn't cry or laugh for a while: "Look at your flattering appearance, who made me hate that bastard too, it's just a matter of effort, it's still early now, you can go back and rest first, and then take Miss Sun to Ning Mansion to find me half an hour in advance." ”

"Good!"
