This village is so quiet, so quiet that there is not even a bark of a dog or the sound of children playing.
Xie Songhua walked through the entrance of the village and passed three or four houses without seeing anyone. Although the door was open, he called twice, but no one answered inside.
Her first reaction was that there was something going on in the village, and everyone had gathered somewhere.
Under normal circumstances, she might have gone to find out, but at this time, what she was most afraid of was joining in the fun.
Seeing clothes hanging in the yard of a house in front of him, Xie Songhua didn't care whether others were at home or not. He quickly pulled off two pieces and threw in a handful of coins. He was about to put them on in a hurry when he heard
One person shouted, "Who is sneaking around there!"
This sound immediately frightened her so much that without saying a word, she grabbed her clothes and ran away.
Just by the tone and accent of the other person, she knew that the person was not an ordinary farmer without even looking at it.
Immediately behind, the rustling footsteps of several people could be heard, and they were clearly chasing after them.
She was not a martial arts master, but she was not completely devoid of judgment. Upon hearing this, she became even more convinced that these people were unusual.
If an ordinary farmer was really catching a thief, he should have been running and shouting at the moment, calling for people he knew well in the village to come with him, but they just chased him with their heads down, and their footsteps were very concise and neat. They were clearly Lian Jiazi.
.
It’s over!
Xie Songhua lamented in his heart, but Yu Ruzhuo left yesterday. If he died here now, would it count as one dead and two lives?!
I don’t know if people’s minds were overly active when they were running for their lives. Xie Songhua was still analyzing the distance between here and the capital, as well as the possible reasons and purposes of these people appearing here.
It's clear sky and white sun now. This is a real village, with fields, water and crops. There was not a soul in the village just now, and there was no sound. Did these people kidnap everyone in the village?
Anyone who dares to act like this under the emperor's feet, except for desperadoes, can only be a member of the public family.
I haven't heard of any new government decrees recently. Could it be that they are a group of desperadoes?
Xie Songhua wanted to look back at the two people, but this idea was stopped because one of them suddenly jumped up and jumped directly in front of her.
As soon as he saw that man, Xie Songhua had an ominous premonition in his heart.
Listening to that voice again, sure enough...
"Who are you? Why do you appear here so secretly? Do you run away as soon as you see us?"
He was obviously in his middle age, but his face was pale and beardless, and he didn't even have any stubble. Coupled with this voice, Xie Songhua could only think of that pervert.
The person behind also caught up with her, and also said in a high-pitched voice: "Why ask so many questions? Since she ran into her, just kill her."
Xie Songhua's mind was racing and he quickly said: "You are so brave, how dare you disregard human life like this. Is this how Han Jian taught his subordinates?"
Sure enough, as soon as Han Jian's name was mentioned, the two of them were immediately frightened. The man in front looked at her in surprise, "You actually know the name of our governor?"
Xie Songhua didn't care about the feud with Han Jian, and took this opportunity to pull the tiger's skin, "Han Jian and I have a life-long friendship, you guys try to touch me?!"
When he was on the cliff, he was considered dead! It was just that he wanted to kill him and he just clung to him for dear life.
"this……"
Hearing what she said, the two eunuchs became more and more hesitant. They looked at each other, and the man behind them said: "Since she said that, we will just take her to see the governor. By then, it will be true or false.
It’s just a matter of a word from the Governor.”
Xie Songhua was so frightened that his legs almost weakened when he heard this. Han Jian is here?!
The man in front was a little worried and said: "What if this girl is talking nonsense and we bring her to the Governor so rashly..."
"Ha..." The eunuch behind him sneered sinisterly, "If you dare to talk about the governor's friendship in front of us, maybe we can watch the sky lanterns be lit once!"
Xie Songhua only felt that her scalp was numb because she had already said these words. If she retorted at this time, she would probably die faster.
She raised her eyes and looked at the positions of the two people, and then thought about the little physical strength she had left. The words "no chance of winning" seemed to have no suspense at all.
"Walk!"
One of the eunuchs pulled out the rope from his waist very neatly and tied up Xie Songhua with three strokes, five by two, and said, "I'm sorry, girl, if you really know our governor, I will turn around and bow to you nine times."
I apologize to you, if you were the one who bluffed us just now... Haha... We can still see you in the world even though we are in trouble."
Xie Songhua really wanted to say something more to make amends, but now that he was being dragged in that direction, he could only find a way to use the dragging technique, but he couldn't walk even half a step.
"Hey! Weren't you running very fast just now? Why can't you walk now? Could it be that you just lied to us when you said you knew our Governor?"
As he finished speaking, his tone was already filled with a chill.
Xie Songhua swallowed his saliva, forced a smile and said: "No, I just ran out of energy. I can't compare with the two masters in martial arts. Now I have no strength. Please forgive me."
"Stop talking nonsense. If you don't leave, hurry up and kill you on the spot. The Governor will blame you. We also have an excuse for not knowing the truth!"
Xie Songhua saw the fierceness in the speaker's eyes for real, and now he didn't dare to work hard, so he had to stumble forward.
When I ran just now, I felt that I had run quite far. Now when I walked back, I felt that this section of the road seemed a little too close, as if I had reached the entrance of the village all at once.
Xie Songhua was thinking about whether he could find a way to escape while entering the village, when he suddenly saw a panicked figure running out.
The two people escorting her immediately stopped and looked at the person with vigilance.
When the man got closer, Xie Songhua saw clearly that it was a half-year-old child running over. His face was full of fear, and his eyes looking forward seemed to be looking at the only hope of survival.
He seemed to be using all his strength to run wildly. When he saw the three of them, the fear in his eyes suddenly seemed to be burning.
Only then did Xie Songhua clearly see the fear in his eyes, and saw him suddenly pounce forward and fall directly to the ground, as if he was only four or five steps away from her.
She was pulled back a step by the two people beside her and almost fell to the ground. She finally regained her balance, and then she realized that there was a dagger stuck in the child's back.
The hilt of the dagger is very simple, without any fancy decorations, only a few simple inscriptions.
She suddenly raised her eyes and looked towards the entrance of the village, and then she saw the expressionless face, too pale to look like a living person.
This time, he did not wear the bright red python robe, but changed into an indigo round-neck robe, but this did not alleviate the gloomy atmosphere about him at all.
Han Jian walked over slowly with steady steps, and immediately behind him two eunuchs quickly passed him and ran over.
One of them neatly drew out the dagger that penetrated the child's back, and the other took out a handkerchief and carefully wiped the dagger clean, and then replaced it with several fine cotton handkerchiefs and wiped it again several times.
Han Jian came over and handed it to him respectfully.
Han Jian's eyes fell on Xie Songhua's face, without even looking at the eunuch, he put away the dagger with a flick of his sleeves, and then said to Xie Songhua with a half-smile, "We meet again, Miss Xie."
