The closed courtyard door quietly opened, and Cui'er quietly leaned out, relieved to see Zhao Xi leaving.

She quickly closed the door again and hurried back to her room.

Zhao Xi was not familiar with the road in Shanghe Village, and it was the middle of the night when the lights were dark, and he didn't walk far before the dog barked.

Zhao Xi is not afraid of these dog barks, but under the backdrop of the dogs' barking, the night is like a giant beast, opening its bloody mouth and inviting you into the urn.

Zhao Xi sped up and walked for a while before he thought that he should ride a horse!

By the way, what about his horse!

He was so flustered just now that he completely forgot that there was still a horse to ride. But it's too late to go back now, he just sneaked away, where would he dare to go back and lead the horse?

Zhao Xi continued to walk forward with his head stuffy, the moonlight was unknown tonight, the future was uncertain, a warm wind blew, but the warm breath could not make him feel calm.

"Woohoo!"

The dogs in the village barked one after another, as if they had poked the kennels. Zhao Xi has walked a distance, and the barking of dogs still does not stop.

A dark shadow appeared in front of Leng Buding-

"Ahh Zhao Xi was already afraid, but because of the sudden appearance of the black shadow, he took a few steps back to stand firm.

"Who!"

He yelled.

It's just a matter of being frightened by Zhao Yuanwai, there is no reason to be frightened by others for no reason. Zhao Xi has also been training in the military camp for so many years, and his eyes are staring at the dark shadow, and his momentum is amazing.

Helpless, the black light was blind, and the other party did not respond, no matter how much momentum Zhao Xi put on, he couldn't resist the passage of time little by little.

No one responded, and he was like a clown.

Just when he was embarrassed, Zhao Xi's ears moved, and he vaguely heard a sound coming from not far away.

He hurried into the darkness to see who was pretending to be a ghost.

Not long after, a small team of people appeared in Zhao Xi's field of vision. Zhao Xi's pupils suddenly widened, without him, the clothes worn by the leader were those worn by the people of Zhao's mansion.

Coincidentally, they stopped in front of Zhao Xi, and the sound just reached his ears.

"What was it just now?"

Everyone in the lead exclaimed in surprise, their voices trembling.

Anyone who suddenly encounters an inexplicable black shadow in a place where the light is blind will be nervous. Zhao Xi also looked around and found nothing. He guessed that they and he saw that it might be the same thing. So many people didn't notice anything wrong, so I thought it should be fine.

The companions looked around, but they didn't see a problem.

"Maybe it's just a bird in the woods. Further afield is Shanghe Village, where there are villagers patrolling, otherwise we would just wait here? ”

They came with a mission, and it was inconvenient for them to show up, so it was just right to wait here.

Zhao Xi's heart tightened suddenly, wait here? What are they waiting for here?

The weak seem to be born with an instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and Zhao Xi's first reaction is that they are coming for him!

The conversation over there continued, and Zhao Xi pricked up his ears and listened carefully.

"No, go further. The old man said that Zhao Xi was timid and afraid, and he might have just gotten on the path as soon as he left the village, and it would be troublesome for us to miss it. ”

Zhao Xi: "......"

His guess came true, and they really came for him!

Zhao Xi didn't think that this was Zhao Yuan's external brotherhood, regretted poisoning him, and sent someone to invite him back to his home. All he could think of was that this was a way for Zhao Yuanwai to arrange to kill them all, and he had to die!

The truth did not disappoint him, and the leader said to the others:

"After killing Zhao Xi, the brothers will go outside to avoid the limelight first, and then return to Zhao Mansion when everything is settled."

Others expressed their understanding, and also said that they could deal with Zhao Xi, who was as timid as a mouse.

They laughed and walked forward, treating human life as if it were a mustard.

Zhao Xi heard that his body was cold, and his whole body trembled like chaff.

Whoever hears that someone else is going to kill him cannot remain indifferent.

He finally regained his senses, and the first thing he did was to run towards the Hu family.

He had heard what the gang had just said, and they were going to kill him outside the village, and they were avoiding the patrols in the village.

What does this mean?

It means that they don't dare to kill him in the village, Shanghe Village has them, and there are things that the Zhao family is afraid of!

Under the threat of life, Zhao Xi's speed was extremely fast. In order to avoid the gang of killers, he did not dare to take the main road, and quietly entered the village from the side of the rice field. After entering the village, he ran fast, did not stop when he fell, and stumbled and knocked on the door of the Hu family.

"Help, help!"

Zhao Xi grabbed the guard's arm and gasped for air.

He realized that only the Hu family could save him!

Recently, there has been a big incident in Qinghe County.

The second young master of Zhao Yuanwaifu...... No, the second master is back.

This is nothing, he has been a soldier outside for many years, and he will come back when he comes back. But the second master is back to compete for the family property!

The second master sued Zhao Yuanwai in court with a complaint, not only listing the property he deserved, but also showing evidence of Zhao Yuanwai's murder.

This is terrible, fratricidal and has a bad impact. Many dignitaries and nobles have heard the news and are bound to stop this unhealthy trend.

This can make Zhou Rui so anxious, he is just a small county order, and the emperor and the marquis have all come to ask about this matter, and it has evolved from a small incident to a major event that even Lin'an Mansion knows.

It's not over, the grapevine from nowhere said that the reason why Zhao Yuanwai didn't marry a wife at this age was because he was sick and inhumane.

In order to hide people's eyes, he did not dare to marry a wife, but he had many rooms. The husband was sluggish, so he took the room to vent, and the old locust tree in his courtyard covered the white bones of the forest.

The grapevine grew so intense that it was about to provoke public outrage.

Zhou Rui saw that the matter was about to break out, and hurriedly reported the matter to the king of Anding County. He knew that Zhao Yuanwai was the person who settled the king of the county, and how the matter was decided depends on whether the king of the county would protect him.

How can Zhao Qi, the king of Anding County, have the time to pay attention to Zhao Yuanwai?

Zhang Ai and Zhang Yi were assassinated, and the official family personally took them to live in the palace. Now it is no longer a signal, but the official family clearly wants to rehabilitate the Yue family.

Some people criticized Zhang Ai and Zhang Yi for not staying in the penal colony, and the official family actually said that he secretly ordered them to guard Shanghe Village.

Guarding what?

Guarding the silver mines.

It wasn't until this time that Zhao Qi knew that there was a silver mine hidden in the mountains around Shanghe Village!

He was sure that it was not the official family who asked them to guard the silver mine, but now the silver mine was in the hands of the official family. The Yue family bought their lives with silver mines, and the official family intended to rehabilitate them, let alone care about such trivial matters.

If you can't criticize it, you will suffer from it. Half of the people in the court were killed as a result, and more than a dozen were imprisoned. Zhao Qi was busy dealing with the original body in the case of the Yue family, and it was too late to make a move, where did he dare to make extraneous branches?

Zhao Qi does not protect Zhao Yuanwai, no matter how great his ability is, he will not be able to calm the people's anger. Zhou Rui had to take people to search the Zhao Mansion under pressure from several parties.

The bones were really found under the big locust tree in his courtyard!

A rough count shows that there are more than a dozen. The rumors turned out to be true!

What's even more tragic and infuriating is that when interrogating the Zhao family's subordinates, it was learned that Zhao Yuanwai had a secret medicine that could turn the corpse into invisible. Over the years, he has harmed many people, but there is no body left.

Zhou Rui led people to search for the body from Zhao's house, found secret medicines, and many correspondence between Zhao Yuanwai and the king of Anding.

Zhao Yuanwai has become the target of public criticism, and he is friendly with the king of Anding, and I am afraid that it will also have an impact on the king of the county. Zhou Rui thought about it, and did not report the matter to the prince of the county as soon as possible, but went to the Hu family with the letter.
