Suddenly, there was a faint movement in the reeds on the lakeshore ahead. If Yunze hadn't been so nervous, he might not have been able to notice the situation there.
He sneaked over quietly, pushed aside the reeds, and saw a man in black lying among them, the reeds hiding his figure.
It's hard to spot even in the daytime, but this person is quite smart.
At this time, Yunze saw an arrow stuck in the opponent's right shoulder. The man was motionless, as if he had fainted.
Yunze carefully pulled the man in black to the shore, looked at the arrow stuck in his shoulder, and reached out to pull out the arrow.
As soon as his hand touched the feather arrow, his neck was grabbed by a hand. A cold and clear voice sounded in his ears.
"What do you want to do……"
The hand on his neck was cold and his grip was tight, but he couldn't feel the killing intent.
"I just want to help……"
Yunze looked at the man in black who was sitting up with difficulty.
The other party was alert, and as soon as he pulled this person up, she was afraid that she would wake up. Maybe she didn't kill Yunze because she didn't find the officers and soldiers.
However, even if she wanted to harm Yunze, Yunze had a hundred ways to break free from the other party's hands.
Hearing Yunze's words, the man in black looked around and saw that there were no officers and soldiers, so he loosened his grip on Yunze's neck.
At the same time, her whole body softened and she fell down again. Yunze quickly supported her.
Although the other person's face was still covered with a scarf, Yunze knew from her voice and body shape that she was a woman.
But the other party had already fainted.
She had an injury on her back, and swimming here was a great physical exertion. It is impossible to climb to the shore alive without strong perseverance.
Yun Ze admired her perseverance.
After checking the arrow wound on the woman's right shoulder, the arrow could not penetrate even an inch. The barb hooked into the flesh and the wound was bleeding.
Yunze quickly lit the fire, burned the dagger, slowly penetrated the dagger into the arrow wound, and gently picked out the arrow.
If she doesn't just pick an arrow to stop the bleeding, the woman is afraid that she will bleed to death.
The woman woke up from the pain instantly and looked at Yunze with wide eyes. She opened her mouth to speak, but the strong feeling of weakness made her faint again.
Yunze quickly pressed the acupuncture point to stop the bleeding. The woman's arrow wound was in an awkward position.
Yunze could only tear off the woman's clothes and hastily bandage her wounds.
After looking around, he cleaned up the traces on the ground, threw the feather arrow into the water, picked up the woman and rushed back.
If the woman's wound is not cleaned, there is a high possibility of infection. Save people to the end!
It was almost midnight when we got home. The loom is humming. Luo Yunniang and Luo Yunxi looked at the door from time to time. There was worry in his eyes.
Yunze shook his head fondly. These two little girls told them to go to bed early, but they were still waiting for Yunze.
Looking left and right, Yunze took advantage of the darkness and carried the woman into the courtyard. Luo Yunniang and Luo Yunxi looked overjoyed and were about to speak out.
Yunze put his hand to his lips and hissed softly. The two women understood and quickly shut up. They glanced behind them and closed the door.
The main room here is connected to the side room. If the door of the main room is closed, you can't see outside. No one inside would find out that Yunze had brought someone back.
They didn't dare to make a sneak attack now, they were all so focused that no one noticed that Yunze brought someone back.
Yunze carried the woman into the side room on the other side and put her on his bed. He quickly said to the two sisters who followed him:
"Don't make any noise, don't let others know of her existence, go and boil some water, bring over the gold wound medicine you bought earlier, and help her treat the wound."
The other party was a woman, and he really couldn't take action, so he could only leave the matter to Sister Luo Yuniang. The two women had changed the dog's medicine before, so Yunze was relieved to leave the matter to them.
Yunze went out and took a look at the main room and side room next door. The female workers were working. When they saw Yunze coming, they didn't notice.
Yunze nodded with satisfaction and closed the door when he came out.
…………
In the guest room of Danyang Prefecture's official post, the middle-aged man who was assassinated was sitting on the main seat, with Lu Qing, the prefect of Danyang, standing in front of him.
"Prefect Lu, don't you have anything to explain to me about my assassination?"
He looked at Lu Qing coldly, and his voice was cold.
Lu Qing fell to his knees, trembling with fear.
He couldn't afford to offend the person in front of him.
This man's name was Cheng Ying, and he was the commander of the fourth rank of the capital, although his official position was only one level higher than him. But behind the opponent was Taiwei Gaoqiu.
If the other party accuses him of being assassinated, he, the prefect of Danyang, will not be able to do anything anymore, and will be imprisoned.
"General, my subordinates are not strict in running the government, which frightened the generals. I will do my best to arrest the gangsters..."
Lu Qing had an apologetic smile on his face and respectfully handed over a wooden box.
"General, this is a small gift prepared by my subordinate for you. Please accept it, General."
Seeing the wooden box, the coldness on Cheng Ying's face softened a bit, and he glanced at the strong man behind him.
The other party took the wooden box and returned it.
Cheng Ying looked at Lu Qing again and said calmly:
"Prefect Lu, please give me an explanation as soon as possible about the gangster matter. I'm here for the New Year's Cloth. The first batch of New Year's Cloth will be delivered soon. I don't know how this matter will be handled!"
When Lu Qing heard this, he quickly said: "The delivery of New Year's cloth is coming soon, and Ye's Cloth Guild will deliver it as scheduled..."
"Well, that's good. You must not leak out what happened in Danyang. If the emperor is satisfied with the annual cloth, you will be promoted and make a fortune. Go down..."
Cheng Ying waved his hand to Lu Qing. Lu Qing looked overjoyed when he heard this, quickly bowed respectfully, turned around and walked out.
At this time, the strong man behind Cheng Ying said with doubt in his voice: "Sir, how did Su Qianmo, the bandit leader of Longtou Mountain, know that you came to Danyang? Could it be that the court's plan to suppress the bandits was leaked?"
"Do you think bandits everywhere are caused by untouchables?" Cheng Ying glanced at the strong men under his command.
This person is Cheng Ying's confidant, named Cheng Yi, and he is the eldest of his four confidants.
"Could it be..." Cheng Yi's expression changed slightly. It seemed like he was thinking of something.
"Although the two kings Kang and Ming failed in seizing the throne, they never gave up their ambition to seize the throne. The reason why Your Majesty suppressed the bandits was to cut off their wings and prevent them from having evil intentions again."
"Although I am coming to Danyang as an envoy, there are many people in the capital who know that I am actually here to suppress bandits. Do you think the two kings will not know about this?"
Cheng nodded. After all, the two kings were royal relatives, and there were definitely not a few officials in the capital who colluded with them.
Cheng Ying paused and continued:
"If they want to preserve their own power, the best way is of course to let Ben die. Su Qianmo is the knife they borrowed."
"Back then, I killed her whole family. If she knew that I was coming to Danyang, she would definitely come to assassinate her. Why do you think I agreed to Huang Xiong's invitation today?"
