Qian Yu tore off the seal and opened the box. Inside were two pieces of white jade, two black pearls, and a banknote with a face value of two hundred taels.
Well, that's pretty good.
It was just a piece of cake for him to settle the account.
Just by writing, you can make hundreds of taels of silver, and following General Xue is like a fierce tiger, but high risks naturally bring high returns.
The carriage rumbled along, the carriage bumped and bumped, making Qian Yu sleepy.
He didn't know whether it was because of the alcohol or the excessive physical exertion just now, but when he arrived at his residence, he could hardly keep his eyelids open.
The journey went smoothly, and when he got off the bus, he also gave some money to the guards who accompanied him.
On the surface, he just went out to have fun tonight, and did not talk to irrelevant people. The bribery and bribery process was also completed in secret. On the surface, there was no fault.
Qian Yu was able to work safely under Xue Zongwu for ten years, and he had his own experience. General Xue may not have known that he was making money in private, but as long as he was not too blatant and did not harm the public and enrich himself, General Xue could turn a blind eye.
Although Xue Zongwu was cruel, he knew very well that Qian Yu had loyalty besides being greedy.
No one is perfect.
The boy changed his clothes, washed his hands and face, and left quickly.
Qian Yu lay down on the bed and fell asleep.
He is just a clerk in the accounting department, and no one will deal with him specially, so he will neither set up a barrier formation nor close the doors and windows tightly when sleeping.
Even the guards who kept vigil moved a chair and sat under the eaves to take a nap.
No one noticed that a small bat flew down from the roof, took advantage of the cover of night to pass through the window, got into the tent, and landed next to Qian Yu's pillow.
It could kill this man easily, but instead of taking action, it tore a piece of red rope from his neck.
There is a yellow jade charm tied to the rope.
This is an amulet, which has the effect of clearing the mind, calming the mind and warding off evil spirits, and has a little magical power. Qian Yu wears it, so he will not be invaded by ordinary evil spirits.
Bat quietly untied it and threw it on the bedside.
Then, the little bat fled back to the original route without being noticed.
…
Before dawn, there was a sudden "ah" shout in the house.
The guard outside was dozing off until his nose was full of snot and bubbles. Hearing this sound, he was stunned for a moment, and then he suddenly woke up and quickly opened the door and rushed in.
“Money is in charge!”
But he saw Qian Yu sitting on the bed, his eyes frightened and his head covered with cold sweat.
"Are you okay?"
Qian Yu was stunned for a while, looked around and then at him, then touched his neck and said: "It's okay, I had a nightmare. Go out... um no, bring me a basin of warm water."
He actually dreamed that his accounts were wrong, and a huge hole of 20,000 silver was missed! General Xue found out, was furious, and chopped off his head with a knife!
So Qian Yu woke up with a fright.
But before General Xue chopped him down, he seemed to have asked him a few questions.
Qian Yu held his head in his hands and thought hard, unable to remember the content of this conversation.
He glanced around and found that the Pure Heart Talisman had fallen on the bedside, probably because the knot had loosened and slipped out.
He quickly tied up the Pure Heart Talisman and hung it back around his neck.
If you are upset, you will dream about whatever you are afraid of. What a bad luck!
The dreams were nonsense, so he didn't think about it. How could General Xue kill people so easily?
Qian Yu shook his head, calmed down, and washed the cold sweat on his face with warm water. They say that reality and dreams come in opposite directions, maybe he will get lucky today?
After changing my clothes and eating a hearty breakfast slowly, the first ray of golden light finally appeared in the east.
After seven cloudy days in a row, the sun finally came out today.
The food in this small place is far inferior to that of Yao Country. Only the red mushroom, shredded and shredded bamboo shoot noodle dish is worthy of praise. The bamboo shoots in this season are not as good as in spring, so I only use the small, tender and red bamboo shoot noodle.
The mushrooms were plump, but the chicken was a bit on the burnt side, and Qian Yu thought it didn’t have enough oil—
The chickens here are as skinny as people.
But no matter what, the quality of this bowl of noodles was above the passing mark, which was a good relief for him.
Therefore, Qian Yu was still in a very happy mood when he went out.
After working for another three to five days, the audit task will be completed, and he can leave Shuangtian and return to his home.
It was only a quarter past two o'clock, and there were already many pedestrians on the streets of Shuangtian.
Common people are busy making a living, and it is normal to wake up early and work late at night.
Qian Yu had to pass a small river on his way to the government office. It had rained several times recently, and the water level in the river had risen, making it look fast and turbid.
Qian Yu was thinking about how to settle the account last night when he suddenly heard a deafening shout from the front:
"Qian Yu!"
He looked up in shock, only to see a man in black standing two feet in front of him. He seemed to be wearing night clothes during the day. He also wore a dark mask on his face, with only two eye holes exposed.
There was still black smoke curling around him, and when the east wind blew, people standing downwind could smell the smoke.
"You took bribes, misappropriated public funds, forced girls into prostitution, sucked people's fat and scraped their fat..." The man rushed towards him, shouting at the top of his voice, "You deserve to die, I will accept you for God's sake!"
When Qian Yu heard the first charge of his accusation, his heart was in his throat; but then he heard the remaining two charges - oh, what the hell?
Pedestrians on the road gave way, and no one dared to stand in front of the murderer.
The guard next to Qian Yu drew his weapon and shouted sternly: "Stop, kill without mercy!"
This masked man was not willing to listen. He kept walking and when he was only ten feet away from Qian Yu, he took out a bright knife and waved it at him.
The blade reflected the sunlight from the east, causing Qian Yu to subconsciously turn his head: "Take him down, take him down!"
Where did this lunatic come from? What bad luck, so bad luck this morning!
Two guards rushed to stop him.
The madman's strength was so amazing that the guards didn't bother to subdue him and just planned to chop him to death. Anyway, there are countless untouchables in Shuangtian, and if there are only one or two missing, who dares to argue with them?
Unexpectedly, before the blade touched the madman's neck, the madman suddenly sidestepped and hit the guard with a hook in the waist and abdomen.
There’s nothing to say about the angle or strength, it’s just right.
The kidneys here were not protected by bones, and the opponent's strength was extremely strong. The guard was knocked straight away, and his vision went dark in mid-air, and he couldn't get up for a long time.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Another guard wanted to slash the madman's back, but for some reason the world was spinning. Instead, he was picked up and thrown upside down. The last sight in front of him was the cold light of the big blade.
Snow……
With a bang, blood spurted out three feet high from his neck.
The madman killed people like chickens, and didn't care about the two drops of blood on his face. He got up and rushed towards Qian Yu. The latter was just a helpless accounting clerk. How had he ever seen such a battle? The opponent was coming with such force.
It was so fierce that his legs were stiff and his body was petrified. He didn't even know he wanted to run back.
It was the guards who dragged him back hard.
He heard people nearby shouting: "Stop him and protect Mr. Qian!"
"Go back to the hotel, go back to the post house quickly!"
Then there were two screams, very close to each other.
"Fire the arrow, quickly!"
Qian Yu suddenly came to his senses and ran to the posthouse proactively without any further delay from the guards.
In critical moments, he ran faster than others.
Most of the pedestrians on the road had faces full of astonishment. If they couldn't avoid it, they would be knocked away by the guards.
But before he could take two steps, Qian Yu heard the guard exclaim again: "No, come back!"
Should you come back or not come back?
He subconsciously complained in his heart, but saw the guard directly in front of him suddenly flying away.
