Liu Zhong galloped on his horse, his face being blown even more by the biting cold wind on both sides. He escaped from the city all the way. He didn't even know that he overturned several stalls and knocked away several passers-by along the way. How many curses were heard.
But he couldn't care less because there were pursuers behind him.
When he came to Pingcheng, he arranged a way out. No one knew that the house next door was also rented by him. Thinking back to just now, he covered his mouth and nose with his tea-stained sleeves and pretended to faint to escape the disaster, and then ran away quickly while they were not paying attention. However, unexpectedly, there were many people coming from the other side, chasing him all the way.
He looked back at the pursuers in the distance, a group of fierce and reckless men...
It's annoying, hateful, and he will come back one day.
These people ruined his good plan. The group of people he found wanted by the court originally thought that even if the incident was exposed, the government would only trace a group of fugitives and would never think that it was the Liu family.
Originally, he wanted to use them to accomplish something and then destroy them all, but it was a pity that the ragtag group was useless because one Deng Er fell short. It was his carelessness. He should have withdrawn because Deng Er did not return overnight, but he was stupidly waiting to be punished. Captured, thinking of his father's eyes before leaving, Liu Zhong understood that if he couldn't do his best, he wouldn't have to go back.
Looking at the city gate in the distance, Liu Zhong was overjoyed. He was heading back to the capital, but how could he possibly go back to the capital? He just wanted to find a place to hide after leaving the city, and then come out again after the news passed.
From a distance, Xia Xiaoba looked at the figure on the horse. It was indeed the same as what Deng Er explained yesterday, shouting! It's really here.
"It's him, you can't go wrong, get ready." Xia Xiaoba said, pulling a rope out from the ground, and tied the other end of the rope to the opposite side. He had laid an ambush in advance, but he didn't expect it to come in handy.
Xia Xiaoba looked at the nervous Jiang Xiangyuan, and gently squeezed the other person's small hand with his free hand: "Don't be nervous, let's pull the rope together, and we will make sure he is knocked down."
"Who is nervous? Stop talking." Jiang Xiangyuan retorted in a low voice with dissatisfaction, her eyes constantly staring at the figure getting closer and closer through the cracks in the stone.
After leaving the city, Liu Zhong surrendered most of his strength. There were many trails outside the city, making it easy to escape. Unfortunately, before Liu Zhong could breathe a sigh of relief, a rope suddenly appeared in front of his eyes.
Before his brain had time to react, Liu Zhong felt that the world was spinning.
Tear~~
The horse jumped up with long hooves, screamed, fell down, and could not get up again. Liu Zhong on the horse was thrown to the ground by the inertia and lay prone on the ground.
"Haha, it's done." Xia Xiaoba and Jiang Xiangyuan both jumped up and shouted happily.
"Let me see if he is dead." Xia Xiaoba said, and hurriedly ran towards Liu Zhong, only to find that he was still conscious and his mouth and teeth were moving slightly.
Xia Xiaoba was startled and reacted immediately. He quickly stretched out his hand and heard a click sound as Liu Zhong's lower forehead was removed.
"If you want to commit suicide, there is no way."
"What are you doing? Xiao Ming wants to live." Jiang Xiangyuan watched Xia Xiaoba stabbing the other person in the mouth with a dagger. She was extremely worried. She was already injured so badly, but she still stabbed him like this. What if he stabbed him to death? .
Poor Liu Zhong didn't even have the strength to open his eyes, so he could only let the other person poke him in the mouth.
Extremely uncomfortable.
He knew what he was doing, but he didn't have the strength to fight back.
After a while, Liu Zhong was forced to pull out a tooth by Xia Xiaoba.
"It's done, this bastard wants to bite his fangs and commit suicide." Xia Xiaoba said proudly, holding a dagger dripping with blood on its head in one hand, and pinching a fleshy tooth with the other hand, dripping with blood, looking like a murderer.
"Ugh~, it's really disgusting, take it back to Xiao Ming." Jiang Xiangyuan reminded while holding back her nausea.
"Let's go back."
At dawn, the streets and alleys of Pingcheng became lively, with the sound of rolling cars, lively shouts, the chatter and laughter of acquaintances, and the endless sounds of children playing and chasing each other. The gate of the small courtyard after being baptized was opening. While sitting, the people who happened to pass by looked in strangely and saw that the courtyard was in a mess, with scattered ropes and broken shoes.
The small courtyard was so quiet that only the sound of the wind swept the dead branches and leaves to the ground.
Suddenly, there was a slight noise from the latrine in the northwest corner, and a dirty, shit-maggot hand pushed open the closed door...
~~
In the past two days, a major event happened in Pingcheng that made the whole city excited.
Pingcheng's parents, Mr. Peng, captured a dozen gangsters who were important criminals in the court. More importantly, these people were the real culprits in the accidental deaths of children in Pingcheng in recent months... As soon as the news came out, the whole city was shocked, and no one knew it. Those children who died were not killed by accidents but by man-made causes.
What a bunch of heartless beasts!
Fortunately, they have their wise and wise Lord Peng, otherwise so many children would have died unexpectedly. At this moment, the image of Magistrate Peng became extremely tall, and people from all over the country sent umbrellas to them.
Peng Youqin was always proud of the spring breeze. He walked with wind in his eyes. He smiled when he met everyone. With the warm spring breeze smile on his face, he became more close to the people. He carried forward the image of a parent and official who loved the people like his own son. He caught so many key criminals under his rule. This must be true. No matter how great his political achievements are, he must receive at least one more favorable rating in the triennial evaluation, and he will be more likely to be transferred back to Beijing next year, or even join the cabinet to serve as prime minister.
Although, the Lord's men escaped.
Although the strength of the Four Seas Escort Company has reached the point where the court is afraid of him, what does this matter? Nothing can affect his promotion.
Unlike Magistrate Peng's spring breeze, a remote house outside Pingcheng was covered with clouds, and the air exuded an atmosphere of silence and tension.
In the small courtyard, beside the stone table, Xiao Ming was sitting on a stone bench meditating.
This small courtyard was one of the properties she asked Yifeng to purchase years ago. In addition to handing over the dozen or so people who didn't know the inside story to the government for disposal, she left the chief envoy alone here.
They didn't find any useful information on him. They interrogated him day and night, but even after two days of torture, they couldn't pry his mouth open.
After trial after trial, only one result came out. His surname was Zhang, from the capital, and he had only one purpose for killing: because his father was suffering from a strange disease, and he needed the blood of a four-year-old child from the northwest for medicine?
These are consistent with the confessions given during the interrogation of the fifteen men.
Is this why he killed people? snort! Even a three-year-old wouldn't believe it.
How to explain those fangs?
Xiao Ming looked at the tooth that Xia Xiaoba pulled out from the opponent's mouth. Just as Xia Xiaoba said, only dead men carefully trained by big families would hide poison in their mouths, and poisons are often sealed with blood. The kind that bites the throat and commits suicide immediately after the incident is exposed, leaving no clues to others.
I'm afraid even this person's last name is fake. What kind of family would use such a person? Or who is the enemy behind them?
No clue at all...,
Xiao Ming's head felt as big as an ox just thinking about it. She is not afraid of a powerful target, but is afraid of having no target. If she doesn't even know the target's enemy, there's no point in taking revenge. Splendid Doctor
