Chapter 373 Queen Zhao’s clan brother

When Chu Yuanyan found Gu Zhian, she was standing in an abandoned courtyard, with several men in black lying on the ground bleeding from their orifices.

He flew towards her.

She heard movement behind her, thought another gangster was coming, and stabbed her back.

Chu Yuanyan avoided the knife, stretched out his long arm and grabbed her arm firmly, "It's me."

Gu Zhian's tense heartstrings suddenly broke when he heard this voice, and his body that had been standing straight shook.

Under the moonlight, her face was as pale as paper, but she still forced a smile and said, "Please, Lord Chu, take me back to the inn."

Only then did Chu Yuanyan realize that his palms were stained with moisture. When he let go of his hands, he saw that the entire palm was covered in dazzling bright red.

"Are you hurt?" His voice was urgent and filled with deep anger.

"It's okay." She smiled, feeling dizzy.

Chu Yuanyan immediately pulled her to check her injuries and found that she had more than one stab wound on her body. Although none of them hurt her vital organs, she had lost a lot of blood.

He glanced at the corpses on the ground coldly, then picked up Gu Zhian and strode away.

When I returned to the inn, I happened to meet Mr. Zhao, the magistrate of Jianzhou, arriving with more than a hundred city guards.

At this time, a full hour and a half had passed since the gangsters entered the Yuelai Inn and burned, killed and looted. The government office was not far from the Yuelai Inn, only two streets away, and it took at most a quarter of an hour's walk.

When Mr. Zhao saw the rows of black-armored guards, his pupils shrank obviously and his eyes were full of panic.

He saw many gangsters being detained by black-armored guards, and their faces turned pale, but he quickly calmed down and stepped forward to negotiate with Ouyang Changping.

Ouyang Changping had no doubt that he was there and readily handed over all the gangsters to Zhao Zhizhou.

At this time, Chu Yuanyan came over with Gu Zhian in his arms. When he saw this, he stopped Ouyang Changping and said coldly: "I still want to try these people. It won't be too late to hand them over after they have been tried."

Mr. Zhao's eyelids were twitching wildly and he said hurriedly: "I am the magistrate of Jianzhou. These gangsters committed crimes in Jianzhou City. This case should be tried by me, so I won't bother this lord."

"Of course? I have been ordered to suppress bandits. If the bandits are captured, I will personally interrogate them. Is there any problem?" Chu Yuanyan said coldly.

Mr. Zhao's heart sank suddenly and he said hurriedly: "But this is Jianzhou City."

"Do you still know that this is Jianzhou City? Is the government office far away from here? After receiving the report, why didn't you send troops for so long? Who did you want to collect the body for when you arrived so late?" Chu Yuanyan said again.

It was a cold snort, "I'm afraid if someone leaves it to you, they won't be able to see the sun tomorrow."

The more Ouyang Changping listened, the more something felt wrong, especially the last sentence. He quickly asked: "What does the Marquis of Chu mean by this?"

Chu Yuanyan looked at him, "Don't you understand? These people are not bandits, nor are they here to rob, they are here to kill." After saying that, he looked at Mr. Zhao, who had an extremely ugly face, and said softly: "

I heard that the current queen has a clan brother who is an official in Jianzhou, it can’t be you, right?”

As soon as these words came out, Mr. Zhao seemed to have been stepped on. His face was shocked and angry. He pointed at Chu Yuanyan and shouted angrily: "Hou Hou, how dare you deliberately slander the Queen, you are so brave."

Chu Yuanyan raised his eyebrows, "Slander? Did I say anything? What? The fact that Mr. Zhao is the queen's mother-in-law's brother, is it a slander?"

"You, you, you - you are simply unreasonable!"

Chu Yuanyan was too lazy to pay attention to him, turned to Ouyang Changping and said: "Send someone to ask for the doctor."

Only then did Ouyang Changping realize that Gu Zhian in Chu Yuanyan's arms had fainted, and his clothes were stained with a lot of blood. He was instantly startled, "Here, come quickly, come here, call the doctor, hurry up.

"

There was originally a doctor in their convoy, but unfortunately he just died in the fight.

Seeing that Chu Yuanyan and Ouyang Changping were gone, no one paid attention to Zhao Zhizhou at the door of the inn. A middle-aged man with a goatee came to Zhao Zhizhou and whispered a few words. Zhao Zhizhou's expression

This just looks better.
