Chang Shichu never expected that something big would happen at the first banquet held by the new commander sent by the superiors: someone sneaked in to carry out assassinations, and several people died, including two who were appointed with the new commander. Daoyin and the county governor, and the others are local wealthy businessmen and squires.
Although these people were not very important figures, they were assassinated at the new commander's banquet, which obviously severely damaged the new commander's face. The new commander was very angry and immediately sent people to capture the murderer. However, he brought The people who arrived here didn't know whether they were new to Qing'an City and were not familiar with it, or they were too useless. They didn't even see the shadow of the murderer.
The police station has not yet been established, and naturally there are no patrol officers to help catch the murderer. It is useless for the new chief to be anxious and angry.
Such a big event happened at the banquet. There had been a massacre in Qing'an City not long ago. The guests who attended the banquet were naturally frightened. How could they dare to stay? Fortunately, the assassination occurred in the second half of the banquet, and the re-establishment of personal connections had been completed in the first half, so although the guests were frightened, they also felt that they had gained something - after all, the person who died was not they themselves.
It was only the next day that Chang Shichu learned that such a big thing had happened in the Governor's Mansion. Qing'an City had begun martial law again. The streets that had just regained some smoke and life became silent again, with only the new Chief's faction remaining. People who came out to search for the murderer rushed past, and the people were like frightened birds, not daring to go out and only daring to hide at home.
Chang Shichu's rice and grain shop was one of the few shops still open, so she learned about this from the people who came to buy rice in a hurry and looked panicked.
But this has nothing to do with her. She just hopes that the murderer will be caught quickly and everyone's life can return to normal.
But she didn't expect that even though she tried her best to avoid the source of misfortune, trouble would still come to her door.
She was kidnapped just around the corner from the back door of Chang's house. The back door of Chang's house was in a quiet alley, far less lively than the front street. That's why that man dared to murder her in broad daylight, right?
"Are you Chang Shichu?" The man behind her, holding a dagger against the artery in her neck, asked in a low, rough voice.
Chang Shichu's mind was spinning rapidly, but he finally admitted: "I am."
Now that this person has found her way here, it means that her identity and appearance have been understood for a long time. Now it is just a confirmation.
Sure enough, after hearing her words, the man smiled cruelly and said: "Then go to hell! Who made you become someone else's way?"
As he spoke, he tightened the arm around Chang Shichu's neck, and the dagger he held flashed with cold light, intending to cut her artery. It was obvious that after confirming his identity, he was about to harvest her life.
How could Chang Shichu die so easily? With lightning speed, she slammed her head back hard, hitting the man behind her in the nose, causing him instant severe pain and dizziness. Then, while he was dazed, she suddenly She quickly grabbed his dagger with her right hand, then pushed her left elbow back hard, hitting him directly in the ribs.
The man behind him suffered two violent impacts in succession, and soon lost his mobility. He was thrown to the ground by Chang Shichu. Although he endured the severe pain and quickly reacted, he quickly fought back against Chang Shichu, but he He had lost the opportunity and lost his weapon. He was not Chang Shichu's opponent at all.
This time it was the man who had the dagger pressed against his neck.
Chang Shichu stared at the man with a cold face and asked: "Who sent you? Why do you want to kill me?"
The man closed his mouth tightly, and his pair of cloudy eyes showed a fierce light. He had no intention of answering Chang Shichu's question, and he didn't seem to be afraid that the young girl Chang Shichu would really kill him.
When Chang Shi saw him for the first time, he looked like a dead pig who was not afraid of being scalded by boiling water. He immediately became even more angry. With a slight stroke with his dagger, the blood on the man's neck quickly flowed out. At this moment, the man became a little panicked: " You can't kill me!"
"You already want to kill me, why can't I fight back?" Chang Shichu sneered.
The man choked and fell silent again, but he was not as calm as before. His eyes kept rolling, and he didn't look honest at first sight. Chang Shichu used more force on his hand, and the dagger was firmly pressed against his carotid artery. : "As long as I push harder, the blood on your neck will spurt out... just like killing a pig..."
The man had froze. If another young girl had said this, he might not believe it. But when Chang Shichu, who had subdued him, said this, it was very possible. Just as he was trying to think of how to lie. When he deceived Chang Shichu, Chang Shichu suddenly said: "Don't even think about lying. If you lie, I can kill you."
"Okay, I said, it's the young master of the Wang family. The Wang family is a merchant who came with the new chief. Their family also runs a rice and grain shop. When I came here, I found that your family has opened several rice and grain shops, and the business is still very good. He is afraid that his rice and grain shop will not be able to establish a foothold here, so he wants to kill you first and then take the opportunity to annex your shop..." The man replied with difficulty.
"Really?" Chang Shichu narrowed his eyes and stared at the man. Although the reason given by the man was very real and reasonable, Chang Shichu always felt that this was not the truth and that he should be hiding something.
"Really! How dare I lie to you? I still want to die..." the man said hurriedly.
Seeing the cunning complacency that quickly appeared in his eyes, Chang Shichu finally determined that what this man said was false, or half-truth. The Wang family might really want to kill him and seize the rice and grain store, but he should not be the only one there. .
"This is the last chance!" Chang Shichu said, "If you continue to be dishonest, you will be spared your life."
"What I said is true, you believe me!" Seeing that Chang Shichu still didn't believe it, the man panicked, sweat dripped from his forehead, and insisted that he was telling the truth.
Chang Shichu sneered, then lightly swiped his hand and said, "Since you want to die, then I will help you."
As soon as she finished speaking, blood spurted out from the man's neck. A look of disbelief appeared on the man's face, and his eyes were full of panic. However, it was too late. He covered his neck, gurgled a few times, and then He fell down and twitched a few times before finally breathing out.
Chang Shichu just wanted to dispose of the body in the space while no one was suffering, but suddenly there was a sound of wind blowing behind him, and the sound of someone's slight and quick footsteps came. Chang Shichu instantly threw the body into the space, and also Before he could deal with the blood on the ground, he suddenly turned around and faced the person behind him!
