Chapter 30: Staying Alive

Lin Fei looked at her blankly, feeling speechless, and pulled her to the side of the horse, "What are you doing? Who do you want to get involved!"

"What's the hurry? Just tell me what to do to scare them." Zhuang Rou smiled, took out a small bottle of medicinal wine and threw it over, "Wipe your wounds, we still have something to do."

"What are you trying to do?" Lin Fei was really afraid of her. He kept causing trouble all day long and wasted a day in the princess's house. You can't really catch the prince consort to serve tomorrow, right?

Zhuang Rou didn't answer him directly, but just raised her eyebrows and smiled, "You haven't eaten yet, go and have a meal first, and we will continue to investigate the case."

Lin Fei frowned in confusion, but decided to go and eat first. Who knows if he would have to wait until morning again.

The two of them found a small restaurant and ordered some food at will, so Lin Fei started to eat. He suffered a little bit of flesh and blood in the princess's mansion, but the guards were unwilling to really beat him up and offend him, so the injuries were not severe.

The main reason is that they feel uncomfortable, but for him who has been arrested for more than ten years, this is commonplace. The powerful think they are lackeys that are not worth mentioning, and the people also think they are lackeys, and they are specialized in helping the powerful bite the people.

No matter what you do, you can't get it well. On the surface, you are afraid of you or admire you, but in fact you are scolding you to death in secret.

He ate the food in big mouthfuls, not wanting to mention the matter at the Princess's Mansion just now, and kept eating.

"Just just now, I encountered a soft sedan chair at the gate of the princess's mansion, and ran away without stopping. But it was clear that the sedan chair wanted to stop at the gate of the princess's mansion, but when I saw me sitting there, I immediately wanted to run away." Zhuang Rou saw that he was eating very deliciously, so she took a sip of tea and said. After that, she spit out a tea stem. The tea leaves in this small shop were really casual.

Lin Fei didn't stop his hand and didn't raise his head while eating, asking, "What kind of noble girl might be inside? You look so cruel that you didn't dare to stop and scare away."

Bang!

Zhuang Rou kicked him under the table, and he grinned in pain before saying satisfied: "The sedan chair has a mark, a small python, and the people following the sedan chair are wearing the clothes of the servants of the Xianwang Mansion."

She had just met the people from the Xianwang Mansion yesterday and would never admit her mistake. It seemed that the sedan chair was from the Xianwang Mansion who came to find Princess Pingrui, and somehow ran away when she saw her.

Lin Fei stopped and looked at her with a bowl for a long time, "You won't be killed tonight, are you?"

"No, how could it be possible? It's us who are going to be killed." Zhuang Rou smiled with a hint.

"It's really a ghost!" Lin Fei ate with his head down. Maybe this is the last meal in his life.

After he swept away all the food on the table, Zhuang Rou stood up and said, "Let's go, we'll meet Zhou Zhao."

Lin Fei threw down the broken silver, held the knife and his face full of evil spirits, followed him up and got on the horse.

Zhuang Rou glanced at him and quickly said, "Your face is too stiff, it's a little easier. When others look at it, they think you want to go in trouble."

"Ha? You have too many things to do. I do whatever I like." Lin Fei rolled his eyes and was about to be stern, what's wrong? Can he do it?

Just like this, he deserved to be beaten at the door of the princess's mansion. Zhuang Rou shrugged and ignored him.

The two rode their horses to the Xianwang Mansion, turned into an alley and wanted to go around the shortest road. At this time, someone suddenly ran over from behind and shouted, "Please wait, two officials, please wait!"

"Who?" Zhuang Rou grabbed the horse, and the two of them looked back together, and saw the man wearing a purse, running over with sweat.

He ran to the horse and gasped and said, "Official...Official, you have something left in the shop. Theonly, the official walked too fast, and I almost couldn't keep up!"

"What?" Lin Fei couldn't remember what he had left, and he had never seen the purse in his hand before.

The little one held the purse in both hands and said, "It's this purse. After the two officials left, they found that they fell to the ground. Xiao's boldness opened it and looked at it. He found that there were thousands of taels of silver notes inside. If the official lost it, he would definitely be anxious. The shopkeeper asked Xiao's to send it over quickly."

Zhuang Rou raised her eyebrows and smiled, "Lin Fei, you actually have so much money, you can't tell."

"It's not mine, a poor person like me..." Lin Fei said very honestly, not being moved by the silver bills inside, just saying it was his own thing.

The waiter said in panic: "How is this possible? I picked it up at the place where the official is sitting. It must be the official."

Zhuang Rou smiled and said, "Take it, it should be mine."

Lin Fei turned around and looked at her with disgust, "You dare to take it. This purse is definitely not yours!"

The purse is gray and the embroidered pattern is also very ordinary copper coins. At first glance, it is the style commonly used by fat men in business. How could it be hers?

Zhuang Rou showed joy on her face, staring at her wallet with a lust, and then reached out to take it.

The waiter also raised his hand and handed the purse to her hand. At this moment, a knife handle appeared in his right wrist. After holding it, he tried hard to break the sleeves, and a short blade appeared in his hand and stabbed straight towards Zhuang Rou.

Zhuang Rou still had a smile on her lips, but her right hand had already tightened the iron stick in the horse bag and hit her hard.

The blade aimed at the inner side of her horse's thigh and stabbed her hard. If the bloodline was cut off, even if it did not hurt the internal organs, it would lose blood and die.

Lin Fei had already drawn his sword, but he was half a beat late, watching the assassin's knife tip pierce Zhuang Rou's thigh.

Bang!

Zhuang Rou hit the assassin's arm holding the knife with an iron rod, and broke it on the spot, and the white bones drilled out of the broken point. Then, she hit the assassin's temple with a second flash.

Without any hesitation, Zhuang Rou didn't even have time to take back the smile on her face, so she gave the assassin four or five strokes and knocked him to the ground.

Lin Fei jumped off the horse, stepped on the assassin's back, and the knife was placed on his throat.

Zhuang Rou also got off the horse, picked up the purse that fell on the ground, opened it and looked at it, and smiled, "I thought the silver notes were fake, but I didn't expect it to be real. It seems that you are very generous."

"Who sent you here!" Lin Fei shouted sternly as he stepped on him.

The assassin's head was covered in blood, making everything in the world shaking, and his ears were buzzing, and he couldn't hear clearly what Lin Fei was saying.

Zhuang Rou put her purse in her arms, squatted down and pinched the assassin's mouth, looked at his teeth and said, "I heard that someone would seal the poison in his teeth. If the assassination fails, he will bite the poison. I don't know if it is true."

"There is such a thing, but it is impossible for such a little assassin to have it." Lin Fei is a man from the Shenhou Gate. Most of the cases solved are outside. The people and things he has encountered are not something that ordinary people should be arrested.

After hearing his words, Zhuang Rou raised her eyebrows, continued to look at the assassin's mouth, and said dissatisfiedly: "I think I am a small character, and I can kill me by just finding someone, so I don't even bring the poison to silence me?"

Lin Fei looked at her speechlessly, "If you insist on thinking this way, that's fine. Stop playing. Ask him who assigned him."

Seeing that the assassin's consciousness was recovering, Zhuang Rou patted his face and smiled, "Who asked you to kill us? I won't hit you if I say it."

But the assassin didn't say anything, just stared at her fiercely, trying to spit out, but failed because his mouth was pinched.

"Oh, have you sealed the poison in your mouth?" Zhuang Rou said with a frown, "I don't dare to let go of your mouth anymore. I'll bite the poison. Where can I find who sent you?"

Suddenly, her brows relaxed, and her hand holding her mouth quickly moved to her neck. Before the assassin's mouth was completely closed, she punched her, and several teeth flew out with blood.

But she didn't stop. She changed her hand and pinched her neck. She continued to hit the assassin's face. After knocking down both sides of the teeth, she let go of her hands and stood up. Looking at Lin Fei, she said, "I'm finally relieved now. There is no place to seal the poison in the front teeth. Please search for him and take him back to the yamen."

Lin Fei's expression was a little weird. Zhuang Rou's ruthless move was beyond his imagination. She thought she was just a sensible mouth, but she didn't expect that she was so cruel. Maybe when this person came to deliver the purse, she already suspected that she wanted to do it.

But he couldn't help but ask, "Why should you keep the teeth in front?"

"Well? Without front teeth, you will leak air. You will be unable to hear clearly when you explain it." Zhuang Rou smiled and took out a rope from the horse bag and threw it to Lin Fei. "Tie him behind the horse, take it back. Maybe he doesn't need to explain it. Those who sent him will send someone to kill and silence him."

She glanced at Lin Fei and said with a smile: "If you come again, you have to do it."

Frowning, Lin Fei picked up the rope and tied the assassin upright, searched his whole body again, but couldn't find anything useful. Seeing that he was beaten so hard that he couldn't stand firmly, he couldn't really throw it on the ground and drag it back, so he threw it on the horse's back and hung it horizontally, rode his horse and ran out of the city.

He had to take the man to the county government before the city gate was closed.

"What a kind person, I didn't drag it back." Zhuang Rou also turned over and shouted to Lin Fei running in front, "Brother Lin, go to the county government first, I'll go to the Xianwang Mansion, let's take it separately. Don't be killed on the road, you have to take the people back!"

Lin Fei grabbed the horse and turned around. He thought Zhuang Rou was going back together, but he didn't expect that before he could ask who did it, she would go to the Xianwang Mansion.

"Let's go back first!" he shouted, as long as he asked who did it, he could catch people, and there was no need to take risks again.

Zhuang Rou waved her hand, turned her head and grabbed the horse's belly, and headed towards the alley.

Lin Fei watched her leave, looked up at the sky again, and gritted his teeth in his annoyance, so he had to take the assassin out of the city first.

Xiangyuan is the most famous restaurant in the capital. If a large house was converted into a food venue, not only with the elegant environment, but most of the dishes were released in the palace. Being able to eat here would be enough to show off for a long time.

Xu Yiheng came out of the changing room with drunkenness and was walking towards the food pavilion in the bamboo forest. A voice came from the darkness of the bushes on the side of the road, "The prince-consin is so popular, and there are banquets every day."

He stopped and looked in the direction of the sound, and saw Zhuang Rou walking out of the darkness and showing a bright smile as he looked at him.
