Zhao Jin opened his eyes with a "swish", and the tip of the knife shining with cold light was reflected in his eyes.
He grabbed the person's wrist and pushed him away. After pushing the person away, Zhao Jin quickly got off the bed.
After taking a closer look, Zhao Jin discovered that the person who assassinated him was actually a woman?
"Who sent you?"
The woman sneered, "Oh, I'm going to kill you, this lackey!"
The dagger with a cold light stabbed at Zhao Jin again. The woman was extremely fast and arrived in front of Zhao Jin in the blink of an eye.
Behind Zhao Jin was a bed, with no way to retreat, so he turned sideways to avoid it.
The sharp blade passed across the side of his face, cutting off a few strands of hair.
The woman turned her hand and wanted to stab Zhao Jin directly into the back of the neck.
Zhao Jin reacted very quickly, grabbed the woman's wrist and shook it hard.
"Ping bang!"
The dagger fell to the ground. Zhao Jin followed his wrist, grabbed the woman's arm with his other hand, and threw her over her shoulder.
The woman was thrown to the bed. Before she could get up, Zhao Jin pressed his shoulders with one hand and clasped her hands with the other.
"You have to tell me why?"
"Why assassinate me?"
The woman struggled for a few times, but Zhao Jin pressed down very firmly and struggled for a while without moving at all.
"Do you need a reason to kill a dog?"
Zhao Jin was not angry and raised his eyebrows, "Killing dogs is for meat. Why is there no reason?"
"In a conspiracy!"
"Why did I get into trouble? When someone is sleeping on the bed, the pot comes from the sky."
"Isn't it you who caught Huang Er?!"
"Huang Er?" Zhao Jin was slightly startled, "You mean that bandit?"
After thinking about it for a moment, Zhao Jin said with some uncertainty: "The second master of Wu Yang Village?"
"Admit it?" The woman glared angrily, as if she wanted to eat Zhao Jin's flesh and blood.
Zhao Jin found it difficult to understand, "They suddenly blocked the road and robbed us, but they couldn't defeat us. They captured the bandits and sent them to prison. What's the problem?"
"Are you from Wuyang Village?" Zhao Jin found it a little funny, "I was robbed, do I have to thank you for robbing me?"
The woman was speechless for a moment and turned her head away.
"We are really a family, and your second boss also called me a lackey." Zhao Jin still had a smile on his face, but there was no warmth in his eyes.
"Why don't you tell me what kind of truth this is?"
Suddenly, there was a noise outside.
"It's gone! It's gone!"
Zhao Jin's face turned cold, "You still sent people to set fire?"
The woman remained silent.
Worried about the people in the inn, Zhao Jin was distracted for a moment, but the other party took advantage of the opportunity and ran away!
"Grass!"
Zhao Jin cursed in a low voice, without caring much, picked up his robe, put it on, opened the door and walked out.
As soon as he opened the door, flames were blazing into the sky outside. The other half of the inn was already in flames, and it wouldn't take long for his side to be burned.
The situation was urgent, so Zhao Jin went downstairs and left the inn first.
"Master!"
As soon as Zhao Jin rushed out, Jin Quan and others waiting outside quickly shouted.
"Is everything okay?" Zhao Jin glanced at everyone and roughly counted the number of people.
"It's all together, everything is fine."
Zhao Jin breathed a sigh of relief, "It's good that no one was hurt."
Jin Quan was still in shock, "You scared us to death. We haven't seen you come out, young master!"
"These days, we are really unlucky. Let's go to the temple to worship tomorrow!"
Zhao Jin turned around and looked at the inn in flames with a solemn expression. The clerks in the inn were hurriedly putting out the fire, and the entire inn was in chaos.
The firelight illuminated Zhao Jin's face, and his expression was terrifyingly gloomy.
"Has anyone caught the arsonist?"
"Arson?" Someone exclaimed, "Isn't it caused by negligence?"
Zhao Jin sighed, "No, they are people from Wu Yang Village, accomplices of those we arrested today."
"How did the young master know?" Jin Quan asked puzzledly.
"Someone came to assassinate me just now, and it was from Wuyang Village."
Everyone was shocked.
"These bandits are really as vicious as the county guard said!"
"I thought the county governor was exaggerating when I saw how thin the title was."
Yang Xu frowned, "Are you injured?"
Zhao Jin shook his head, "Nothing."
He raised his left hand slightly and waved it inward, signaling Yang Xu to come closer.
"Go and find out what's going on in Wuyang Village. Something is wrong."
Yang Xu nodded and took someone away directly.
"Everyone else, please help put out the fire." Zhao Jin turned his head and looked at Jin Quan, "You go find another place to stay."
After a lot of work, the fire was finally put out, but the inn was also completely burned.
The postmaster looked at the ruined post station and felt depressed.
"How can this be good!"
Zhao Jin felt a little sorry. The people in Wuyang Village set fire to the inn. After all, it was because of them.
"Postmaster, this fire was set by someone. Before I escaped, a bandit came to assassinate me. He also admitted the matter. I can be a witness."
"Arson? Can the young master really serve as a witness for the villain?" The postmaster was so excited that he grabbed Zhao Jin's arm and confirmed again.
If it can be proven that someone set the fire or it was a bandit, at most, it is just a lack of supervision and he will not be severely punished.
"Okay, postmaster, don't worry."
The postmaster breathed a sigh of relief and almost lost his balance. Zhao Jin quickly helped him with his quick hands to prevent him from sitting on the ground.
By the time Zhao Jin and the postmaster finished solving the fire problem, it was already dark.
"Thank you so much, Master! Really, if it weren't for Master, I would be afraid of being imprisoned and escaping." The postmaster bowed his hands and bowed deeply to express his thanks.
Zhao Jin hurriedly helped the postmaster up, "The postmaster's words are serious. This matter started because of me. This is what it should be."
Zhao Jin explained one by one the reasons why Wuyang Village was set on fire.
After hearing this, the postmaster was startled at first, and then smiled with relief, "Young master, don't take it to heart, the bandits are vicious, and this result is not what the master wants."
"Furthermore, in the end, the governor simply let the villain go for the sake of the young master."
Even so, Zhao Jin felt very sorry that the entire inn was burned down because of him.
"Fortunately, no one was killed this time, otherwise, I would be really responsible."
The postmaster patted Zhao Jin on the shoulder and said, "Young master, you really don't have to worry."
Zhao Jin smiled and said, "Don't worry, postmaster, I won't lose my sense of proportion because of this."
Jin Quan found another inn for everyone to stay.
Zhao Jin didn't see Yang Xu until the afternoon.
"how?"
Yang Xu glanced at Takeda who was going with him.
Takeda understood and explained to Zhao Jin: "This Wuyang Village has a very bad reputation among officials, nobles and wealthy businessmen. It can be said that everyone wants to beat it."
"Interestingly, among the people, it's just the opposite."
"Everyone praises Wuyang Village."
Zhao Jin thought slightly, "Robbing the rich and giving to the poor?"
"Exactly!" Takeda said with a hint of admiration, "Most of the people in Wuyang Village were forced to become bandits because their lives were unsustainable."
