Xu Qin knew his inner strength, so he took a lunge without looking at the outcome of the battle, hooked his hands on the window railing, and jumped out of the window.
Regardless of the pain in his back, he rolled around on the ground and bounced up like a leopard.
The battle outside seemed to have just ended.
Under the moonlight, there were three masked men standing, holding bloody swords.
The corpses of more than a dozen gangsters lay scattered in the yard.
"Who are you? Why are you helping me?"
Of course Xu Qin was not so reckless that he could not distinguish between friend and foe, he asked in a low voice.
"Don't be nervous Mr. Xu, we are all our own people..."
A masked man in the middle spoke.
The voice sounded like a woman's.
She knew his name was Mr. Xu, but she still said he was one of her own?
At this time, Xu Qin looked confused.
"Then these people..."
He was about to ask again, but was interrupted.
"Mr. Xu, please stop asking. Listen to me. These are rogues hired to kill you. We killed them both outside and inside the hospital."
"Wait for the people in the inn. They will rush in soon. We cannot be seen here. Master, listen carefully. Please don't say that someone helped you. Take care..."
"Hey, righteous man, please leave your name for later..."
Before Xu Qin could finish his words, the masked man clasped his fists, took two alert companions, and jumped over the wall with a slight jump.
In a flash, it disappeared into the vast darkness.
"Hurry up, there's killing here..."
"Ouch, I killed a lot of people..."
"..."
A burst of frightened shouts rang out around the courtyard, and the scene was chaotic.
The inn finally began to stir and the lights turned on.
Xu Sanlang woke up from his sleep and took the lead in rushing into the courtyard with a knife in his disheveled hair.
The courtyard was full of corpses, and the air was filled with the pungent smell of blood, like a hell on earth.
There was only one man, standing there tall and stunned, like a bloody pagoda.
His feet were bare, he only wore a pair of pants and a shirt, and his whole body was drenched in blood.
Of course, this living corpse can only be Xu Qin himself.
"Young Master, Young Master...are you okay? I...I'm late. Damn it."
Xu Sanlang knelt on the ground and cried bitterly.
He and Xu Qin have a servant-master relationship.
The master was attacked, but he was not at the scene. This was a major mistake.
Also, he was frightened by the horrific scene in front of him.
Growing up, he had never seen such a bloody battle.
"Stop crying, get up quickly, put some blood on the knife and body, and say that these thieves were killed by the two of us."
Xu Qin shouted.
"Ah...what..." Xu Sanlang was stunned.
"Snapped…"
Xu Qin was so angry that he slapped him in the face, "Get up, do you hear what I said clearly?!"
Seeing the young master getting angry, Xu Shengmiao seemed to be even more confused.
Before the two of them could continue talking, many people from the inn rushed in.
Everyone was so frightened by the murder scene that they trembled all over.
The strong smell of blood in the air made many people turn around and vomit.
Xu Qin said nothing, walked into the dormitory, moved his things and started looking for something.
After a while, he put a linen towel on his shoulders, lifted the barrel on the corner, and walked towards the well of the inn.
It looked like he was getting water to wash away the blood on his body.
The people around you have to get out of the way, so as not to offend this evil god, who will suddenly come to you.
There is still quite a distance from here to Liuhe County, and it is after midnight and the Yamen can only be reached after dawn.
There was a wound on Xu Qin's back, and the postmaster was quite clever. He personally came to apply gold ointment and then bandaged it.
The inn is also a temporary rescue center, and the people inside know some skills such as first aid and wound dressing.
"Master Xu, what on earth is going on?"
"Postmaster, these dozen thieves tried to break into the house and rob me. I drew my sword to resist, and the two sides started fighting."
"Later, my guards rushed in to support, and the two of us worked together to kill them."
Xu Qin avoided the important point and said it lightly.
"Oh...you can also do martial arts?"
Unexpectedly, this white-faced scholar is actually a martial arts master. He is really beyond appearances.
But there are more than a dozen killers, just two of them, master and servant?
Seeing that the postmaster still had doubts in his eyes, Xu Qin simply reported himself to his family.
"What does this mean? I am not afraid of thousands of troops and horses."
"To tell you the truth, I am the military god of the Ming Dynasty and the direct grandson of Xu Da, King of Zhongshan. My name is Xu Qin. I have to rush back to the palace for urgent matters. I couldn't return to the capital because of darkness last night, so I stayed here for a night. Unexpectedly, something happened This murder."
"Unfortunately, I was on an errand and was eager to return to the palace to report, so I couldn't wait for the Liuhe magistrate and the government officials to come. Anyway, they were already there. I left a nameplate. If anything happens to them, please come to the palace to find them."
Xu Qin's words frightened the little postmaster so much that he trembled and said:
"Is this...is this okay?"
"The Yamen needs to state the facts orally. What will happen if Mr. Xu leaves and the county magistrate makes trouble for me?"
The postmaster is a low-level official. He has never seen such a scene and is afraid of taking responsibility.
Xu Qin comforted:
"Don't worry, I will be there if the sky falls. The dead are all bandits. I have to give a confession and ask them to find me. But I really can't stay here. I have my sacred destiny."
He was eager to leave. On the one hand, there was indeed something going on in the palace.
The most important thing is that Xu Sanlang, a fool, is afraid that he will reveal his flaws when being questioned by the government officials.
After returning home, you can slowly teach him that the confessions of two people must be highly consistent in order to cover up the whereabouts of the three saviors.
As for the truth, he would investigate it himself.
The postmaster was noncommittal after hearing this.
The person involved is a fourth-grade Beijing official, and he is the Young Master of the East Palace.
The key is the grandson of the military god Xu Da and the nephew of the current queen.
Just these titles can knock him out, an ordinary clerk.
In this way, Xu Qin left his identity certificate and a brief description of the case, left the Liuhe Ancient Road Station, and crossed the river back to the capital.
…
"Master Xu was assassinated and injured in Jiangbei."
"Shao Zhanshi was assassinated at the Liuhe Ancient Road Station and was injured."
"???"
In less than half a day, the news of Xu Qin's assassination suddenly became the headline news in the capital and at the gate of the city.
Not only did the Duke of Wei panic, but the Queen and the Emperor were also alarmed.
Queen Xu Miaoyun sent an imperial physician to treat the disease.
Emperor Zhu Di ordered Ji Gang's Jin Yiwei to investigate the case thoroughly.
In fact, Xu Qin's injury was not a problem, but it was a skin injury that caused a lot of blood. He could just apply medicine, disinfect it and bandage it.
It does not affect his work and life.
But Zhu Di's good intentions made him quite worried.
Mainly, who are the three masked men who saved him?
Reluctant to tell him, it would be extremely embarrassing to reveal the other person's identity.
It's impossible to be a Jianghu gang, but rather a member of the Jianwen Party.
Otherwise, people would be eager to reveal their identity in order to gain this favor.
Jinyiwei Jigang was not a good person, and he belonged to the faction that supported the King of Han. It was possible to frame him by taking advantage of the investigation.
You must be prepared.
