The person who came was none other than one of Leng Buyan's staff, named Du Li.
This time Xiao Mu went to recruit troops, and Leng Buyan specifically asked Du Li to come with him.
Seeing the concern on Du Li's face, Xiao Mu replied: "It's okay."
A few men quickly cleaned up the street.
Collect all the stumps and broken arms, and then ask Du Li for his opinion.
Du Li didn't know what to do, so he asked Xiao Mu directly: "Master Xiao, what should we do next?"
"Take the Marquis back first, wait until the Marquis wakes up." Xiao Mu asked Chu Yi to carry the Marquis on his back, and the group went directly back to the inn.
After arriving at the inn, Xiao Mu didn't waste any time and asked people to arrest everyone in the inn, from the shopkeeper to the waiter.
As for those staying in the hotel, under Du Li's supervision, the counter refunded their money one by one and asked them to find other places to stay.
"Master Xiao, such a big thing has happened, and we are living here openly now. Won't that Magistrate Song come to cause trouble for us?"
"He just didn't dare to act rashly just to make things worse," Xiao Mu said.
"Besides, I'm not afraid that he will cause trouble for me now, I'm just afraid that he won't cause trouble for me."
Another hour passed, and there was no movement from Song Lei's side.
But the Marquis has already woken up.
Seeing Mr. Hou wake up, Chu Yi happily rushed forward: "Master Hou!"
Xiao Mu immediately reached out to stop him.
"Master Hou is weak now, so be careful."
Chu Yi's eyes immediately turned red and he knelt down on one knee: "My subordinate's incompetence in doing things has made the Marquis suffer!"
"Let's drive!" Mr. Hou waved his hand.
He looked at the people in the room, and finally focused on Xiao Mu.
"You came in time."
"Don't dare to waste even a moment."
Xiao Mu said.
"Then what did Song Lei say?"
"I haven't seen anyone else yet, but I just rescued someone from his house."
"good!"
The Marquis got up and went to the ground: "It's time for us to meet him."
As a result, before the Marquis left, someone came to report from outside, and the prefect Song Lei asked to see him.
The Marquis and Xiao Mu looked at each other.
"Let him come in." The Marquis said.
He wanted to see what kind of medicine Song Lei was selling in his gourd.
Song Lei, dressed in official uniform, walked in from the outside in a hurry.
This is a seven-foot tall man who looks to be in his forties, but because he has been well maintained, he looks very delicate.
Although his steps were hurried, it could still be seen that he had a kind-hearted appearance, and he must have smiled more often on weekdays.
Seeing the Marquis, Song Lei immediately bent down and saluted: "I have been looking for the Marquis everywhere for days, but I still can't find the Marquis, so I am very worried and can't sleep at night. Today I heard that the Marquis has returned to the inn, so I Come and visit the Marquis immediately. As long as the Marquis is fine, I will feel relieved."
"Song Lei, blue sky and white sun, do you think I have lost my memory? Haven't I been a guest in your house these days? How come you forgot so quickly?"
"Master Hou? I don't understand." Song Lei showed a confused expression.
Even Xiao Mu really couldn't understand his behavior.
Who else can tell lies with open eyes?
Without waiting for the Marquis and Xiao Mu to speak, Song Lei immediately waved his hand and asked his servants to bring in two large boxes from outside.
The few people carrying the boxes wanted to get closer to the back room, but were immediately stopped outside.
"Master Hou, this is a bit of filial piety from the lower official. I hope you can accept it."
As soon as Song Lei finished speaking, the lid of the box was opened, revealing yellow objects inside.
There were actually two large boxes full of gold.
"What does Magistrate Song mean? He failed to poison me, and now he wants to use these two boxes of gold to buy my life?"
Mr. Hou's face was ashen.
The expression on Song Lei's face did not change.
"What did the Marquis say? There must be some misunderstanding!"
As soon as the word "misunderstanding" was spoken, Xiao Mu felt a gust of cool wind blowing towards him.
He bent over and turned his head to avoid the blow.
In a blink of an eye, he saw that the person who attacked him was actually a guard brought in by Song Lei.
Song Lei's movements were too fast.
On the one hand, he tried to paralyze the enemy with bribes, but on the other hand, he dealt ruthlessly without mercy.
It should be said that the Marquis has never seen such a person in all his years of working in the court.
Others will think twice before taking action. A major event like assassinating a court official requires the right time, place and people, and a complete plan should be in place before proceeding.
Who would have thought that this Song Lei would not take the ordinary path.
It should be a broken jar. Since others have found out, it's better to be caught off guard.
While the Marquis had just woken up, it was too late to make arrangements. When he figured out the situation at hand and invited reinforcements, it would be too late.
The guards in the room immediately took action.
At this moment, the two boxes of gold they moved suddenly made an unusual noise.
Xiao Mu has been very alert since Song Lei showed up.
Hearing a strange noise at this time, he immediately shouted to Chu Yi: "Quickly, take Mr. Marquis and leave."
Chu Yi was fighting with the person opposite. When he heard this, he made a feint, picked up the prince and ran towards the window.
That was the route they had planned before.
There were people guarding the windows.
They agreed that if anything happened, they would leave from there.
I just didn’t expect that this road would be used so soon.
The Marquis was born in the army, and his body was not that weak. When he first picked him up, he still wanted to struggle.
But Chu Yi said: "Master Hou, please stop struggling, I won't let go even if you struggle!"
Not only did he say it, he also suddenly took action and controlled the Marquis's acupuncture points.
"Master Hou, I'm offended!"
he said as he ran.
Seeing that the two of them had rushed out, Xiao Mu immediately shouted to the others, "Don't be obsessed with fighting, get out of here quickly!"
The abnormal noise in the box was getting louder and louder, and the people Song Lei brought with him were also panicked. Seeing Mr. Hou and his group fleeing away, Song Lei said with a gloomy face: "Disperse!"
He just finished speaking.
There was a bang, like a box exploding.
People who didn't have time to run far were injured by the fragments of the explosion, and suddenly there was a loud cry.
Song Lei was already furious.
At this point, if he cannot kill the Marquis, all his previous efforts will be in vain.
Therefore, he hurriedly ran and was the first to rush out of the window. Before he could hit the ground, a sharp sword stabbed him in the throat.
