Liniang thought of her father and mother's voice and smile. When she was a child, she was naughty and refused to eat. Her mother pretended to be a threat to scare her into eating. She blinked at her mother while eating. Seeing that her mother was bluffing, she pretended not to eat and called her Mrs. Xu. She couldn't laugh or cry, thinking about how her mother-in-law always teased Liu Yuanqing, making her blush and ignore others.
I remembered that my father would always lower his head at the counter and do calculations carefully. He would also raise his head and laugh when he saw her having fun with her playmates, and he would never scold her.
Such heartwarming little things will never happen again. Such a good father and mother are gone now. Liniang felt heartbroken and couldn't help herself. She really couldn't accept it and didn't dare to think about it anymore.
Liniang walked to the inner room. The hospital was quiet except for the sound of Liniang's shoes. Liniang went to the bedroom where Li Lixu lived on the second floor. She wanted to feel her father again. Mother's breath, as if they were still there.
Lying on the bed, Liniang was thinking wildly. Before she died, her father said not to go to Kyoto, Kyoto? It's a big deal in Kyoto. Those thieves were cunning and vicious, and even the government couldn't do anything about it. After searching for days, there were no clues. Many people died that night. Several tombstones have been erected in the suburbs in the past two days.
At that time, the aristocratic young man lived deep in Jiuyun Lane. I heard that he was a high-ranking official from Kyoto. Even County Magistrate Liu respected him a lot. Even people like him didn't catch those thieves. I heard that he has been arrested today. Back to Kyoto.
Could it be that my parents died in vain? My father was upright throughout his life, compassionate towards the world, and often did good deeds. Mrs. Xu gets along well with her neighbors and has never offended anyone. Why is fate so cruel that such a good person in this world suffers?
Liniang thought about it until late at night, and the surroundings were quiet. Liniang had experienced those things, and her senses seemed to be more sensitive. At this time, she seemed to hear footsteps on the second floor, and the soft sound of pushing the partition door. Come.
Lu Linjian has been looking for people these past few days, but those people disappeared without a trace, and no trace was found.
But Lu Linjian knew that they were definitely not leaving. They were watching, and there was no guarantee that the medical girl would not be harmed if she survived. They would never give up, and they were determined to eradicate the root cause. But there is no news about the Jiang family's daughter. She should be dead long ago. There are still a lot of things to deal with in Kyoto, and she still has to return to the official family.
In a mediocre farmyard in Yingnan, a man in ordinary clothes stood in the middle, with a fierce expression on his face. His left ear was strangely covered with silk, and he said, "Are they going to deal with it?"
The others said, "In that case, let's go back to Kyoto and explain the situation to the master first." After saying that, a few people turned around and walked out of the yard quickly, blending into the night.
But when Liniang heard the sound of footsteps, her heart immediately tightened. There was no light in the room, so she got up in the dark to explore.
When she saw a tall figure there, she was so frightened that she screamed and ran away. The man rushed over, hugged her and covered her mouth. Liniang felt a little suffocated, thinking that this man was some thieves who came to harm her. He was so frightened that his whole body trembled, his hands pinched the man, and his whole body started to struggle.
Lu Linjian was in pain and a little angry, so he let go of her and turned her back to face him.
Liniang used the light outside the window to see this person clearly. He? Hearing that he had returned to Kyoto, fortunately he was not one of those thieves, Liniang felt a little more relaxed. She was panting like crazy without being restrained, and stared at him with a pair of almond-shaped eyes with a hint of sullenness.
Lu Linjian secretly thought that this little lady was a little ignorant. He deliberately let out the news that he was returning to Kyoto, and asked Pei Ling to change clothes and get on the carriage for him, leaving some manpower to keep an eye on the hospital. Just to see if those people would come tonight, he first climbed up the window from the backyard to the second floor, where he met Mo Shuliyingwai.
If those people come and Mo Shu leads people to surround him through the door of the medical center, he will block the passage from the second floor to the backyard and will not let them escape. He can also protect this lady. Seeing that she is a little sullen, but He didn't bark again after sleeping.
Lu Linjian said coldly, "Don't say anything, those thieves may come again tonight."
Liniang understood his intention, so she distanced herself from him and waited quietly for what would happen outside. Seeing her actions, Lu Linjian frowned slightly, but said nothing.
Sure enough, less than half an hour later, there was the sound of someone entering downstairs. Lu Linjian secretly said that they were really anxious. They came that night after getting the news of his departure and wanted to act as soon as possible. It seems that their master is also very anxious. This case is really interesting.
Listening to the voice, Liniang looked at Lu Linjian in panic. Lu Linjian noticed her gaze and emotions, sighed in his heart and pulled her behind him, turned around and mouthed: "Hide behind me, don't come forward."
Liniang understood and nodded.
Lu Linjian turned his head and heard the thieves searching for someone from door to door downstairs, but no one was found.
Walking upstairs, the air was quiet and the wooden stairs made a rattling sound.
Behind him, Liniang felt her heart skip a beat. She had seen how cruel those thieves were and wondered if he could deal with them.
Lu Linjian pulled Liniang behind the door, his eyes became cold, he took out a dagger from his sleeve and held it tightly in his hand. Liniang hid behind him, not daring to breathe.
The door was pushed open and the thief broke in with a knife.
Lu Linjian instantly jumped up and started fighting with the thieves. These thieves were all capable, but Lu Linjian's every move hit their vital points, forcing them to retreat continuously.
But after all, it is difficult for one person to defeat six people. It is difficult for one person to deal with three people. There is also Liniang to protect. Just as Mo Shu and others came up to help, a few people started fighting in the room, and the guards had the upper hand.
Seeing that the thieves were invincible, they wanted to jump out of the window into the backyard. Lu Linjian had anticipated this and went up with Mo Shu and others to stop them and capture them.
One of the thieves noticed Liniang behind him and stabbed her with a dagger.
Liniang was shocked and had nowhere to hide. Lu Linjian noticed her situation, turned around and hurriedly stabbed the dagger in. The thief vomited blood and fell.
Mo Shu was a little surprised when he saw it. Didn't the master say before that he wanted to stay alive...
The remaining two people were captured, lights were lit in the room, and Lu Linjian asked, "Tell me who is behind you, and I will spare your life." The two men sneered and said nothing.
"No!" Mo Shu shouted, and hurried forward to pry their mouths off, but it was too late. The two people vomited black blood and died.
Lu Linjian frowned. He was really a dead man. A dead man would hide poison in his mouth. If the matter was exposed, he would bite the poison and die.
It is a capital crime in this dynasty to raise a dead person privately. This is not a trivial matter. Who would be so courageous if he knowingly commits a crime?
It was already getting light at this time, and Lu Linjian ordered Mo Shu to "send these bodies to the market and let the people identify them and see if they have seen their whereabouts in the past few days."
That's all we can do, the person is dead, let's see if we can find any other clues.
Mo Shu agreed and his men moved the bodies away, leaving only Lu Linjian and Liniang in the house.
Lu Linjian said to her, "Don't stay in this hospital these days. Find a safe place to hide. I wonder if they will come back."
Liniang's spirit was tense. After experiencing so many things in the past few days, and seeing such a strange appearance, she could not feel at ease. She wondered why the thieves wanted to kill her.
