Chapter 2: The End of the World
"You actually killed Li Gu? The guts are too fat, right? ”
The surviving guy looked at Lin Yu in shock at this moment, and then turned around and wanted to run for his life.
But Lin Yu had already seen through his thoughts, and quickly caught up, and solved the trouble with one sword.
In fact, it was not he who killed, but was forced by the situation, and he always kept in mind that kindness to others was the greatest cruelty to himself.
Once the news of Li Gu's death spreads, Liang Zhongshu will definitely not give up.
"My lord, the door has been locked from the inside."
It turned out that when she saw Lin Yu doing it just now, she knew that the situation was not good, so Mei Xiang ran to the door to look at the wind as soon as possible.
After making sure everything was in order, he quickly locked the door and hurried over.
"Well done!" Lin Yu praised Mei Xiang.
Turning to Jia Shi and continuing: "Brother and sister, we can't stay in this Beijing City any longer, you and Mei Xiang hurry up and pack up the gold and silver, I'll go change my clothes and get out of the city immediately!" ”
In order to gain time, the three quickly split up.
Back in the wing room where he lived, Lin Yu quickly washed off the blood stains on his body, changed into clean clothes, found a baggage, and put some clothes.
As for the coiling, there were only ten taels of gold left.
It's no wonder that he didn't do a good job before, indulged in gambling, and had no source of income.
This money was secretly stuffed to herself by my brother-in-law two days ago.
As soon as he walked out of the room, he heard a scream coming from Zhang's main room, Lin Yu didn't think much about it, and hurriedly ran over.
I saw that Jia was sitting slumped by the cabinet at the moment, the utensils on the table were overturned, and the room was in a mess.
Jia Shi was kneeling on the ground and weeping bitterly at the moment, and Mei Xiang was crying beside him and whispering comfort.
Lin Yu took a few steps forward, only to find that the cabinet was empty, and the jewelry box that Jia's wedding had placed in the cabinet was also wide open, and it was obvious that the house had been ransacked.
It turned out that before Li Gu arrived at Jia's boudoir, he specially arranged for a helper to be responsible for priing open the cabinet and looting the property.
The purpose is to wait for Jia to agree to accept him, and the two will "fly away" with their finances.
When Mei Xiang came to the main room before, she was blocked for no reason, and she had a bad premonition at that time, and she never thought that it was a thief who was committing theft.
"Husband, it's because his wife is incompetent, he didn't take good care of his belongings, and let the thieves take advantage of the loopholes."
Listening to Jia's heart-rending cry, Lin Yu felt very uncomfortable in his heart, and said that "blessing is unequaled and misfortune is not a one-way street", he never thought that his cousin's lack of news would make Jia's miss it very much, and now it is really regrettable that such a thing is happening again.
"Brother and sister, please cherish it, money is something outside the body, I have already killed Li Gu, no one will harass you in the future, we have to hurry up and get out of here now." Lin Yu said softly.
Hearing this, Jia Shi shook his head and said, "Cousin, you can take Mei Xiang away, I lost my property and family assets, I want to stay and arrange things here, and wait for my husband to come back and finish the reunion." ”
Mei Xiang gently wiped the tears on her face and said, "Mei Xiang is not leaving, she wants to stay and stay with her mother all the time!" ”
"Brother and sister, we are a family, we want to go together, I think my cousin doesn't want us to be separated if he knows from afar."
Whether it was because of family affection or for Lu Junyi's assistance, Lin Yu insisted on her going together.
"My cousin was framed by Li Gu, we have killed Li Gu, and we can be regarded as avenging him, during his imprisonment, if something happens to you, how can I deal with myself!"
In order to dispel Zhang's desire to die, Lin Yu also had to swear in such a serious tone.
Seeing Lin Yu's determined expression, Jia Shi no longer hesitated, and turned his head to say a deep goodbye to the calligraphy and painting hanging on the wall.
"Mei Xiang, you take your younger siblings to pack up your things and go out to wait for me first, I'll be here soon." After saying this, Lin Yu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Now that it is almost dawning, it is necessary to hurry up and escape from the city of Beijing.
Another thing that worries Lin Yu is that Dong Chao and Xue Ba, who were sent by Liang Zhongshu to protect Li Gu, have not appeared for a long time, and I don't know if they have something temporary or have been sent to Shamen Island to assassinate Lu Junyi.
In fact, the two had already rushed to Salmon Island in the morning.
Lin Yu found a waist knife from the main room and inserted it at his waist, and took a small bronze mirror, two pieces of thrush ink and an eyebrow pen from the dresser in Jia's room, wrapped them in a handkerchief, and stuffed them all into the baggage.
His treasure knife can no longer be used for the time being, it is too conspicuous on the way to escape, and the blade has also been damaged in the previous fight.
Outside Lu's house, Jin'er stood behind Jia with a burden.
After Lin Yu came out and locked the door, the three of them left together.
Lin Yu spent forty taels of silver to buy a horse-drawn felt cart at the horse market, and the silver was from Jia's family.
Then he arranged for the two of them to sit in the carriage, and then bought two pairs of men's shoes suitable for women.
After doing all this, he drove south along the avenue.
After running out for thirty or forty miles in a row, Lin Yu reined in his horse.
"What's wrong with my cousin?" Jia Shi lifted the curtain and asked uneasily.
Lin Yu jumped out of the carriage lightly and said softly, "It's okay, it's time for us to change lanes." ”
Sudden changes, the future is unknown.
Jia Shi couldn't help but say with some hesitation: "Where can we escape?" To the south, I am going to Salmon Island......" As she spoke, a complicated look flashed in the depths of her eyes.
"Don't go to Salmon Island!" Lin Yu directly interrupted her questioning.
"My lord, why don't you go to Salmon Island to find an official? If there are officials, they will definitely be able to protect the lady well. He asked suspiciously.
The official in her mouth naturally refers to Lu Junyi.
With Lu Junyi's skills, he can naturally protect the Jia family.
However, he was born rich and grew up in a wealthy family, and he still had hope for the imperial court, but he did not have enough understanding of the sinister nature of the rivers and lakes.
It's a pity that he still doesn't understand that the court can't be the pillar of his heart, and the only one he can rely on is himself.
It's just that Lin Yu couldn't say these words to the Zhang family, so he could only pretend to explain: "Brother and sister, the news that we fled to the south can be found as long as the government interrogates carefully." They must have guessed that we had gone to Salmon Island to find our cousin, and in this way, not only us, but also him would not be spared. ”
With Jia's intelligence, he naturally understands the truth of this, but if he doesn't go to Lu Junyi, where else can he go?
"I've already figured out where to go, so my siblings don't have to worry. I have prepared men's clothes in this baggage, and I have to wronged two women to dress up as men along the way. Don't wear any women's clothes you have brought with you for the time being. Lin Yu said as he reached out and took the burden on the side and was about to hand it to Jia.
At this moment, Lin Yu's face suddenly changed, and he took out his waist knife vigilantly, stared at the bottom of the felt car and shouted, "It's not out yet!" I've found you. ”
