A few days later.

There is an extra lonely grave on the outskirts of Qifeng County.

There was no one in Huang Cheng's family, and the corpse could not be kept in the yamen all the time, so Bai Yu could only take care of the funeral with the "officials".

"Huang Cheng is also strange and pitiful, his old mother died of illness, his wife and daughter remarried, and he followed an adult for thirty taels of silver a month, and as soon as he had hope, he was murdered."

"I don't know which one who killed a thousand knives is so ruthless and has such a big grudge." ......

The former officials sighed while burning paper, after all, they were brothers who had escorted exiles together, and now they were working with adults together, and they had some feelings.

Bai Yu silently spilled a glass of wine in front of the grave, he knew the murderer, but there was no way to deal with the murderer, it was better not to know, and it would be uncomfortable.

......

And so it went on for a while.

The workshop is still day and night liver perfume.

Several branches in the imperial city were still doing brisk business, and large quantities of silver flowed into the accounts.

Huang Cheng's death is gradually forgotten.

Bai Yu thought that Huang Cheng was dead, and even if there was a big grudge between the young Jinyi Wei Qianhu and Huang Cheng, it should be over.

However, Bai Yu was wrong.

A bad news came, there was a servant named Fang Xian in the workshop during the day liver perfume, at night when he came home to sleep was pierced by a sword, the next morning the wife woke up to find that the quilt was full of blood, the husband did not move, almost fainted in fright, panicked and reported the case.

Bai Yu rushed over, looked at the scene with the eye of reconnaissance, and found a silky red light.

He followed all the way, it was exactly the same as last time, the red light like silk threads spread to the inn and stopped for a while, out of Qifeng County, all the way to the imperial city, and finally, it spread into the mansion of the commander.

Bai Yu asked the shopkeeper, did the guest who stayed in the hotel last night have the same son who stayed overnight last night?

The shopkeeper told him with certainty that it was.

Bai Yu frowned.

Young brocade clothes and thousands of households!

During the day, he came to the city of Qifeng County, and killed people at night, because the city gate was closed, he stayed in the inn for one night, and the next day the city gate was opened, he left the county seat of Qifeng County, and returned to the palace of the commander of the imperial city.

The two crimes didn't even change the route, it's too rampant!

Killing a Huang Cheng can barely be understood, it may be because of some grudge, it belongs to vendetta, but after a while, he killed Fang Xian, what does this mean?

Last time, it was a sword to seal the throat, this time it was a sword to pierce the heart, do the two different killing methods have any special meaning?

The two killings in a row were all officials who returned ten years ago, why is this?

Why not kill the officials overnight, but kill one every once in a while?

This is no longer a simple vendetta, as if killing people with some special purpose......

Bai Yu was full of doubts in his heart, he couldn't help but think of the incident of visiting Lin Ping'an some time ago, more than two hundred exiled prisoners were not building the imperial tomb at all, and they were nowhere to be found.

The servants were killed one after another......

The exile is nowhere to be found......

Bai Yu felt chills all over his body, feeling a chill rising from his spine, as if there was a sickle in the dark, deliberately harvesting the lives of those who had returned ten years ago.

The officials were pale, and they vaguely understood.

"My lord, I feel like this murderer is coming at us."

"Don't kill others, just kill those of us who came back ten years ago, why is this happening." ......

Whoever is killed every once in a while can stand this?

In a trance, it was as if I had returned to the terrible night of the Octagonal Pavilion, where white-fronted and eye-catching insects were infested, and everyone was in danger.

"Don't panic, everyone."

Bai Yu pressed his hand.

He himself was actually panicking...... But as the head of these people, at least he has to be calm on the surface.

Bai Yu said, "Fang Xian slept with his wife, the murderer only killed Fang Xian and did not hurt his wife, it can be seen from this that your family should still be safe." ”

The officials were silent, which may have been a blessing in misfortune, but fortunately, the murderer was not so sad that he killed the whole family.

Bai Yu continued, "For the sake of everyone's safety, please don't walk at night, don't take the remote road, and don't stay alone, this official will ask the Marquis of Jin Nan to transfer a group of guards to protect everyone, and the official will also spend a lot of money to hire good people in the rivers and lakes to protect everyone." ”

Seeing that the adults were so thoughtful, the officials were a little relieved.

Bai Yu was heavy in his heart and not optimistic.

According to the observation of the Eye of Scouting, the "energy level of the young Jinyi Wei Qianhu has reached Xiaohong", and his strength is extremely strong.

If the young Jinyi Wei Qianhu was bent on killing these servants, it would be useless to ask more good hands in the rivers and lakes to protect him, Bai Yu could only do his best.

The situation was critical, Bai Yu did not dare to slack off, and immediately rode straight to the imperial city and arrived at the mansion of the Marquis of Jinnan.

Seeing Jin Nanhou in the Warm Pavilion, Bai Yu directly told Jin Nanhou that the "core employees" of Tianxiang Yulu Workshop were killed one after another, and he suspected that someone was targeting Tianxiang Yulu and asked Hou Ye to send some guards to him.

Tianxiang Yulu's "security" was the responsibility of Jin Nanhou, and when he heard it, he immediately became serious, ordered him to investigate strictly, and sent dozens of elite guards to him.

Bai Yu hurriedly returned to Qifeng County with dozens of guards.

He assigned the guards a task, with an average of three guards protecting one servant, and asked them to follow him at every step.

In addition, Bai Yu posted recruitment notices and hired dozens of Jianghu experts with a lot of money, nominally to protect the Tianxiang Yulu Workshop, but in fact to protect the officials.

Of course, the most important thing is to ...... Of course, Bai Yu will not forget himself, the chief of the guard, and the two best players in the rivers and lakes who have been invited to fight heavily are responsible for protecting him.

After doing this, Bai Yu felt a little relieved.

"Even if the young Jinyi Wei Qianhu still wants to kill people, it will not be as simple as the first two times."

It's not that he didn't think about making the young Jinyi Wei Qianhu a thousand households, and he started first.

However, a young and promising person with a bright future like the young Jinyi Wei Qianhu can't come to kill these lowly officials, and he has no motive to kill at all, this is definitely not because of personal reasons, and there is probably a "truth" hidden behind it!

Moreover, this "truth" may also be related to the disappearance of more than 200 exiles!

Because these servants really have no characteristics, and there is nothing worthy of being killed by the dignified Jinyi Wei Qianhu himself, the only characteristic is that they are "people who returned ten years ago", just like those exiles!

According to the decision of the imperial court, more than 200 exiles were supposed to be sent to build the imperial tomb, but they disappeared, and the imperial court did not react at all to such a big matter, obviously someone covered up the whereabouts of more than 200 exiles!

This is not something that the young Jinyi Wei Qianhu can do alone, there must be a huge hidden force behind the scenes to control this matter.

Therefore, the young Jinyi Wei Qianhu is just a "sickle" of the hidden forces behind the scenes, even if Bai Yu breaks the sickle, it will not solve the problem, and it may even anger the hidden forces behind the scenes and make even more crazy moves.

Until he has figured out the truth about why the officials and exiles "deserve to die", he should not act rashly.
