When the assassin saw Qi Xiao appearing, he jumped up and tried to escape.
Who is Qi Xiao?
Will he give him this chance?
After dozens of rounds, the assassin who had just stunned the sky was knocked to the ground by Qi Xiao, with his sword pressed against his neck.
"take away."
Qi Xiao removed the assassin's jaw, leaving him no chance to bite his tongue or swallow poison, and ordered his men to take him away.
As for the other assassins, as long as they were still alive, they were all taken away.
"Are you injured?" Qi Xiao asked Mu Siyu.
Mu Siyu shook her head: "No."
"I will send someone to take you back." Qi Xiao said calmly, "Madam, please stop running around recently. After all, you may not have such good luck next time."
Persimmon was too picky, and the people behind the scenes couldn't deal with him and Lu Yi, so they wanted to use Mu Siyu as a bargaining chip, so her situation was very dangerous.
Lu Yi was in the process of writing a case at the county government office when he heard that Mu Siyu was almost captured by an assassin, so he hurriedly found her.
"I wasn't injured." Mu Siyu turned around, "Thanks to Mr. Qi, we didn't fall into their hands."
"It's okay." Lu Yi grabbed her arm, "You have been following me lately, so you can't run around anymore."
This case is being handled by the Department of Dark Law, but Lu Yi, as a participant, has never shied away from trying the case together with Qi Xiao.
Mu Siyu and Lu Yi were inseparable, and of course they witnessed how they executed the assassin.
The Dark Law Division is really scary.
Those torture instruments were bloody, but they didn't even frown.
It was not that Mu Siyu had any doubts about what the Dark Law Division had done, but that she really couldn't stand such a bloody scene, so she waited at the door and no longer paid attention to the blood in the prison.
Various arrests followed.
The originally peaceful town was like a pot of boiling water being poured into it, and people were terrified, fearing that an unknown disaster would fall on them at the next moment.
"Mrs. Lu," Miss Cao came over and smiled at her, "let's go play mahjong!"
Mu Siyu inserted the plum blossoms into the vase, shook her head and said, "No more fighting. Miss Cao, don't worry about me, you can play with yourself."
"Then I won't play either." Miss Cao sat down opposite her, "Originally, you researched this game. If you don't play, it would be pointless for us to play."
Mu Siyu raised her eyes and looked at Miss Cao.
She was very passionate a few days ago, and it didn't look like she was 'boring'. She didn't look right today. She probably had other things to ask her for.
Mu Siyu's heart was spinning a thousand times, but her expression was as usual, and she couldn't tell her thoughts at all.
She had an acquaintance with Miss Cao, which in modern terms was a plastic friendship, so there was no need to be so enthusiastic towards her.
"Mrs. Lu, I heard from my father that Mr. Lu is an official of Dali Temple."
"right."
"So how long have you been married?"
Mu Siyu's flower arrangement paused for a moment.
She raised her eyes to look at Miss Cao, rearranged the position of the plum blossoms, sat opposite Miss Cao and said, "It has been more than ten years. Our eldest child is already a teenager."
"Then you and your wife have a really good relationship." Miss Cao lowered her head and said in a nagging tone: "Then...does Mr. Qi have a wife?"
Mu Siyu: "..."
It turned out that he was here for Qi Xiao.
However, she didn't know anything about Qi Xiao, so she was afraid that he wouldn't be able to help her.
However, it was hard for her, a lady from a wealthy family, to take such a roundabout way to find the man she liked. She almost thought she had another love rival.
This Miss Cao is very courageous. She doesn't find it strange to fall in love with anyone. Even if she falls in love with Lu Yi, she is not surprised that she actually falls in love with Qi Xiao. Let's not talk about what Qi Xiao's face looks like under the mask.
With his usually murderous aura, the cold eyes under the mask, and the sword at his waist that was shiny with blood, most women wouldn't dare to take a chance on him.
"Master Qi is from the Dark Law Department. My husband and I have just met him. I, a woman from the back house, don't even know his situation."
"So that's it." Miss Cao lowered her head.
Magistrate Cao was pacing in his study, looking worried.
The county magistrate next to him said: "Don't panic, sir. Although the case happened here, we don't necessarily blame you."
"That's easy to say!" Magistrate Cao was so anxious that his mouth was bubbling. "Forging private silver! This is a serious crime of beheading. As a parent official, if something like this happens in the place under my jurisdiction, I will be punished alone.
Cutting off the head is a minor offense, but if I really want to be held accountable, the entire family will not be able to run away."
"Your Excellency has been fully cooperating with their investigation recently and has done a lot of work. Let's find a way to find a way to put in a good word with all the adults and turn this matter into a minor matter."
"Our place is not far from the capital. Who has never heard of the name of the Dark Law Division? Do you think Mr. Qi seems to be a tolerant person?"
"That Mr. Lu is quite humane. Didn't he bring his wife with him? Recently, our madam has been getting along quite well with that Mrs. Lu, and we have come to intercede with her."
Magistrate Cao was extremely anxious, fearing that this incident would implicate him. Something like this would happen every few years, but this time he was the one to get involved in such bad luck.
He discussed with the county magistrate for several hours but had no idea, and instead became more and more frustrated. When he was resting at night, he mentioned this matter to the county magistrate's wife.
"What do you think of our daughter?" Mrs. Cao asked Mr. Cao.
Master Cao had a bad feeling in his heart.
"what's on your mind?"
"I was thinking that Mr. Qi is a popular person around the emperor. Although your official position is not big, our daughter is still an official lady, so she is always qualified to be his concubine."
"Have you lost your mind..."
"Madam..." the maid's cry came from outside, "Miss... Miss was thrown out by Mr. Qi and was seriously injured."
The carriage turned around. Mu Siyu sat in the carriage, opened the curtain and looked at the young man riding the horse outside.
"Master Qi, is he very handsome?" Lu Yi asked.
Mu Siyu had a strange expression: "This Master Qi really doesn't know how to care about women. I heard from my servant that Miss Cao has two broken ribs."
Qi Xiao looked in the direction of the carriage.
Mu Siyu quickly lowered the curtain and nestled into Lu Yi's arms in shock, muttering: "It's so scary."
Lu Yi put his arm around her waist and whispered in her ear: "Don't look at other men."
"Are we rushing back to Beijing so soon? Is this case finished?"
"It's almost done." Lu Yi said, "Almost everything that should be found out has been found out. What shouldn't be found out will not be found out even if it is left there."
"We are finally going back." Mu Siyu said, "Unknowingly, we have been staying there for more than twenty days."
"Sir..." Chen Ling returned from riding, "I sent someone to look ahead. There is a canyon ahead. You must pass through this canyon to go to the next place."
"I remember not passing through that canyon before." Qi Xiao said.
"Yes, wasn't it blocked before? We took a long detour." Chen Ling said.
"This time we are still going the same way." Qi Xiao said, "Instruct your men to keep an eye on the two important criminals. They must not be allowed to die or let others come into contact with them."
"Master Qi..." Lu Yi emerged from the carriage, "I have a few words to say to you alone."
