Lu Linjian responded to the official's request, but found that there were people like him who were eyeing the surviving slaves and servants of the original Jiang Mansion. He wondered if that force had found any clues, and after taking action, unexpectedly went south.
He reported it to the officials, who said, "Lu San, I don't worry about letting others deal with this matter. Just go and check it out. If there are any clues, that's great. If not, well... maybe the girl is gone long ago." passed away."
Lu Linjian followed those people to Yingnan, but was discovered by them. After a fight, they fled into Yingnan County. From the poison he had received in the past few days, it can be seen that those thieves were ruthless, good at poisoning, and their origins were unknown. Like a dead soldier being raised.
Lu Linjian didn't want to alert the snake. Those people came here because they might have clues about the little girl. If the only daughter of the Jiang family was really alive, he needed to find it before them to protect her.
At this time, in the inn, I and Mo Shu were looking through the chronicles of characters. If the little girl was still alive, she would have been three years old in the fifteenth year of Xuande. This year, she would have been sixteen in the tenth year of Wenjing. And in the thirteenth year of Xuande, she would have been sixteen. There are only a few records of foreigners settling there, and none of them had a daughter under three years old.
I had no choice but to check if there were any girls of the same age among my locals. There were indeed a few, but they all had their ancestral home in Yingnan and had never left the county.
Mo Shu frowned, "Master, is there something wrong?"
Lu Linjian said, "Look up the native people who came back from Kyoto in those years."
Mo Shu replied, "Yes, there are, but the ages don't match. Just like the daughter of the Li family medical clinic, eh, it's the medical clinic at the entrance of the alley where we entered, but the daughter of this family is already eighteen, and she is Biological birth, not adoption, is not what we are looking for.”
Lu Linjian thought, the daughter of a medical clinic...no wonder she knows medical skills.
No useful clues were found in the chronicles of this character, so why did those people come to a remote border county like Yingnan? Lu Linjian frowned and thought.
At this time, Pei An came in angrily, "Master, the official seal from Kyoto has arrived, calling you back urgently."
Lu Linjian asked, "What can you write down?"
"It wasn't explained, but it mentioned the Imperial Army."
Lu Linjian thought, it was rare for the official family to be so anxious. When they mentioned the imperial army...could it be that something happened in Kyoto? Although the official family had been on the throne for ten years, it was still not stable.
Lu Linjian was worried about the safety of the Holy Lord, so he took Pei Gan and others and rushed to Kyoto overnight, leaving his confidant Mo Shu and the others to keep an eye on Yingnan. Mo Shu had followed him since he was a child, and his martial arts skills were not bad, so he stayed in Yingnan to search for those people. 's whereabouts.
On the other side, who was being searched, he received a reply from the master of Kyoto, which only contained eight characters: he would rather kill by mistake than let go.
Liniang and Liu Yuanqing said goodbye to each other in Jiuyun Lane a few days ago, and the two young children were inseparable.
Liniang was worried that he had no one to take care of him in Kyoto, so he returned to his Taoist home and his aunt married the Wang family in Kyoto. Her aunt often came to visit, so Liniang should not worry.
"Liniang, please write more letters to me and think of me more."
Liniang Ruonuo replied obediently, "I will, brother Yuanqing."
Liu Yuanqing turned back three times at a time, left Jiuyun Lane, got on the carriage, and headed for Kyoto.
Yingnan County has been peaceful for a few more days, and it will be time to return to Liufu Gengtie in the next few days.
Liu Yuanqing was not here, so she handed it back to his mistress in the same way. Liniang was looking forward to it, so she started writing Geng Tie today. Mrs. Xu was also there, and the hospital was enjoying itself.
However, Lu Linjian only realized that he had been deceived when he arrived in Kyoto. Kyoto was peaceful, and the officials never issued a seal to Yingnan.
What's wrong... By luring him away with such a scheme, Yingnan was afraid that something bad would happen. He wouldn't have time to explain to the officials in the future, so he just said he would come back to apologize, so he hurried to Yingnan.
In the evening, it started to rain heavily in Yingnan. Mrs. Xu and Liniang were still chatting in the inner room. Li Li was sitting on the counter near the inner room and counting the medicine orders. There were two busboys working at the medicine cabinet in the store.
Two men wearing ordinary people's clothing came. Li Li immediately saw that although the two men were dressed simply, they did not look like Yingnan people, and they looked unfamiliar.
When the handyman saw someone coming, he went up to greet him, but he saw the two men taking out daggers from behind and stabbing the handyman to death. Just as the other one was about to call for help, the two thieves stabbed him quickly, and he was gone after a while. There was a sound.
When Li Li saw this, he secretly thought that something was wrong. There was actually someone from Kyoto, Liniang! Li Li took off his legs and ran towards the inner room. Seeing this, the two men raised their knives and chased after him.
Xu Shi originally heard the noise outside and wanted to go out of the cabinet to have a look. However, she saw the head of the household running towards him, followed by two night-shattered people chasing him. She was shocked. When Li Li walked in, the two of them quickly blocked the door. superior.
The door is made of wood and cannot withstand heavy blows. It makes a loud banging sound and may not be able to withstand it for a while.
Liniang and Mrs. Xu were happily chatting about getting married. Now seeing her father and mother like this, she was panicked and asked in a low voice, "Mom and dad, what happened? Who is outside?"
Li Li replied, "Don't make a sound. Liniang, don't make a sound. Hurry and hide in the medical pavilion."
There is a private room in this inner room, which is used to store rare and valuable medicinal materials to prevent others from stealing and losing them. The space is small and can only accommodate one person.
Liniang was panicked, tears welling up in her eyes. She expected that something big was going to happen, so she hesitated and said, "But..., Dad, Aniang, you guys..."
Mrs. Xu didn't wait for her to finish speaking, and stepped forward to pull her hurriedly, pushed open the private door that looked like an ordinary wall, and pushed Liniang in.
Liniang cried and looked back at her mother-in-law. Mrs. Xu also had tears in her eyes. When she saw her husband acting like this, she understood that something must have happened in Kyoto. She looked at the beautiful little lady she had raised.
She couldn't help but feel sad, and choked up like a child, "Haoli Niang, my dear daughter, no matter what you see, don't say anything. You must never come out."
After that, he closed the private door. In order to allow the medicinal materials to ventilate, there were slight gaps in the private door. Although it could not be seen from the outside, the outside situation could be seen from the inside.
The wooden door was shaky and fell down with a bang after a while. The two men approached Li Lixu, and Li Lida said, "If you make such a noise, the officials will come soon."
The two thieves laughed as if they had heard a joke. Without saying a word, they stabbed the defenseless couple with their knives. Unable to dodge, the thieves moved swiftly, and the knife penetrated the vital part, causing blood to spurt out.
Mrs. Xu died on the spot, and Li Li let out a painful sob, with blood pouring out of his mouth. The two people knew that his life was about to end and did not care about it.
Liniang saw the miserable condition of her father and mother through the gap, and tears fell into her neck uncontrollably, blurring her eyes. There was a sob in his throat, and he covered his mouth hurriedly, not daring to make a move, letting the tears cover his face, and the smell of blood mixed with the medical smell of his private room filled his nose.
One of them said, "Where is the daughter of this family? Why haven't you seen her?"
"Maybe he's hiding."
The two began to search the house, touching the walls step by step, and they were about to reach Liniang.
Someone outside the Waijian Medical Center said, "Why are you moving so slowly? Why don't you move quickly? Lu San's men seem to be coming this way." The two finally stopped moving and walked quickly outside.
