Before they even got close to Zijin Garden, the strong smell of blood was already filling the air.

At a glance, there were some fragments of human tissue scattered in the courtyard. There were four corpses, three of them had been torn into pieces, and their limbs were severed. Only one was beaten to pieces.

You can still see some human features in his head.

However, these corpses were all wearing night clothes, and half of their heads were still covered. They looked like killers.

Rong Ye glanced over it and frowned slightly.

Are these people all here for Bai Qianyu?

But she is a fool, who would want her life so much?

With doubts in his heart, he said: "These people don't seem to be the servants of the City Lord's Mansion. It seems that the two resentful corpses are not the only ones visiting the City Lord's Mansion today."

After saying that, he looked at Bai Shangqing, trying to see something from his face, but Bai Shangqing's expression was also heavy and confused. He obviously didn't know the identities of these people, let alone why they came to Zijinyuan.

Bai Qianyu was also full of doubts, but she had a few guesses in her mind. After all, there were people outside just in this family who wanted her life.

only……

When she came back, the situation was so urgent that she didn't take a closer look. Now that she looked at these corpses, she quickly started looking for them, wondering if the little maid had been murdered.

"Ah! Help! Help!" Just as she was thinking, a cry of terror came from the ear room in the courtyard, and a guard hurriedly came out and said: "For the record, Lord City Lord, there is no one alive in the house!"

After he finished speaking, a guard grabbed Hong Yue's back collar and lifted her out of the room.

Hongyue was obviously frightened. She kept struggling and kept chanting: There is a monster, help! Help!

Bai Shangqing stepped forward: "Okay, the resentful corpse has been killed. First, tell me what happened to the dead corpses here!"

After hearing his words, Hongyue was quiet for a moment, then glanced at the corpses on the ground in the courtyard with horrified eyes, and then screamed again, "Ah, dead people! Monsters killed people! Killed people!"

She broke free from the guards who were restraining her, fell to the ground and retreated repeatedly. Finally, she huddled in a corner holding her head and trembling in fear, as if she was scared out of her mind.

But she is the only one who knows what happened.

Bai Qianyu's eyes flashed slightly, and she suddenly shouted: "Wow! Sister Hongyue! Sister Hongyue!"

She ran towards Hongyue, hugged her, and at the same time took out a middle-grade Qingming Pill from the storage space.

Although Hongyue is just an ordinary person, the Qingming Pill is also useful for awakening the mind and strengthening the soul, but there is no such pill in this world. If someone sees her, her hidden identity will be exposed.

But in order to know what happened, she had to take risks. Fortunately, it was dark and she was very concealed. Not only Bai Shangqing, but also the guards around Hongyue didn't notice anything.

While hugging Hongyue, Bai Qianyu stuffed the elixir into her mouth, and then hugged her again and started to cry: "Ooooh, sister Hongyue!"

Hongyue swallowed the pill, and her crazy and frightened eyes gradually became clear. She listened to her cry again and slowly came back to her senses.

"Little... miss..."

"Wow! Sister Hongyue, are you okay?" Bai Qianyu cried so realistically that even Hongyue thought she was really so sad because she was worried about herself, and her eyes were red with emotion. "Little Miss, I'm okay!

Woohoo, it’s so scary, Miss, are you okay?”

"Wow, yes, it's so scary, so scary!" Bai Qianyu continued her words.

Seeing that Hongyue seemed to wake up, Bai Shangqing asked again: "What happened?"

When Hongyue saw that it was him, she quickly got up to salute, but Bai Shangqing was eager to know the whole story, raised his hand and said: "Excuse me, tell me quickly, who are these people and what happened here?"

"Yes," Hongyue trembled with fear when she thought of those things, and said tremblingly: "Slave, I don't know who they are, but I just fell asleep when I heard someone coming from the courtyard, and went straight to where the lady was.

house, but before they even entered, a monster appeared.

The monster was so scary. It bit anyone when it saw anyone. I was frightened! I was frightened!" Hongyue recalled being frightened again. She was trembling all over and gesticulating wildly with her hands and feet: "Then I saw the monster seemed to be rushing towards me.

Come here, I will, I will faint..."

So she didn't know what happened next. When she woke up, the guards of the City Lord's Mansion were already standing beside her.

But Bai Qianyu has almost pieced together the whole truth. The screams she heard before coming back were from those killers. And Jing Hongyue said this, then it can be inferred that those killers encountered resentful corpses when they first came.

Then the two sides started fighting.

It's just that these killers were no match for the resentful zombies, and they were all slaughtered, and then she and Rong Ye arrived.

So, these killers and resentful corpses come from two different waves of people, and judging from the fact that they specifically picked her yard, they all came for her.

She can understand that the resentful corpse is attracted to her Yin physique, so who are these killers?

Ruan? Or...

Bai Qianyu took a peek at Bai Shangqing, and saw that his eyes were full of suspicion and it didn't look like he was cheating, so he finally eliminated his suspicion.

Then only Ruan and the others are left. But although Ruan is impulsive and has a temper that can explode at the slightest moment, she doesn't really have no brains at all. If she really wants to harm her, she must use some kind of insidious method to prevent her from being easily caught.

How could he send a killer if he had no means of detection?

Bai Qianyu was full of suspicion, but Bai Shangqing seemed to have thought of something, and his expression became heavier.

"City Lord Bai, it seems you need to investigate this matter carefully," Rong Ye said.

As soon as he opened his mouth, people were reminded that he was still here. Bai Shangqing quickly closed his eyes and said hurriedly: "What Du Ling said is that it is thanks to Du Ling that you arrived in time to save my little girl today. I would like to thank you for my little girl."

A life-saving grace.”

"City Master Bai is too polite, but it's just... a small effort." Rong Ye said and glanced at Bai Qianyu, raised his eyebrows slightly, and deliberately emphasized the last four words, as if to remind her of something.

Bai Qianyu was annoyed now and had no time to care about him, so she rolled her eyes secretly and continued to act crazy.

A heartless woman.

Rong Ye snorted lightly when he saw her like this.

Bai Shangqing looked at him in confusion, and then at Bai Qianyu.

Why does he feel that this Lord Du Ling seems to be particularly... concerned about his idiot daughter?

"Okay, now that the matter has been resolved, it's time for Bendu Ling to leave."

Rong Ye said again.

Bai Shangqing hurriedly came to his senses and said: "Yes, it's getting late, so I won't leave you here and disturb your rest. I will send you out now."

"No need, City Lord Bai, please stay." Rong Ye raised his hand and widened the path.

Seeing this, Bai Shangqing had to stop, but quickly winked at the housekeeper standing at the entrance of the courtyard and asked him to send it off.

As soon as Rong Ye left, he looked at Bai Qianyu again. It was a pity that Zijinyuan could no longer live in this place, but now he could only... "Come here, please take the young lady and this maid down first."

"Oh, daddy, mother's yard..." Bai Qianyu was also afraid that she could no longer live here, and she quickly expressed her reluctance.

Bai Shangqing said: "Don't worry, you can move back after daddy has someone fix it for you."

"Really? Thank you, daddy!" Bai Qianyu pretended to be happy and clapped her hands, while also confirming one thing.
