Chapter 381: Losing Both Hands

"drive--"

There were not many people on the street at this time, and Wen Yan came riding a horse.

"Yanyan!" Yingzhi Lin Chaowenyan waved his arms vigorously.

Wen Yan stopped his horse and dismounted.

"Yanyan, Brother Qi is missing." Ying Zhilin immediately went up to him. He looked nervous and his eyes were slightly red.

"What's going on?"

Ying Zhilin recounted the incident in general terms: “I didn’t see him at all on my way here.

I have every reason to suspect that something bad has happened to him."

Ying Zhilin was very worried.

"It was Huo Yaoxing who took action."

Wen Yan grabbed his arm and said, "Don't panic and lose your composure. Let's go find the person together. If he's alive, I want to see him. If he's dead, I want to see his body!

Even if Qi Yunzhou meets with an accident, we must find him and avenge him!"

Wen Yan took off the bundle and took out a stack of portraits: "We can use this to find it, it should be faster."

"Okay." Ying Zhilin responded, "I'll go find some people to help."

"No need, I have already arranged the staff." As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Pei'er running towards them with a group of aunts and maids.

They all worked as domestic helpers in the "Qingfeng Xiaolou".

Wen Yan gave each person a portrait and asked them to go out and ask around.

After a while, an aunt came running back, panting.

Handing Wen Yan a sachet, he said, “We found this in an alley.

My brother-in-law said there were traces of kicking and dragging on the ground.

The son-in-law followed the dragging traces and found the carriage tracks.

My son-in-law chased after him himself and asked me to come back and tell my boss to report to the authorities in Jingzhao Prefecture."

The sachet is simple and old-fashioned in style, and the edges and corners are even worn to the point of being hairy, which suggests that the owner must have worn it frequently.

It is not a valuable item, but you can see how much the owner loves it.

"Did he chase after him alone?" Wen Yan asked anxiously.

Huo Yaoxing has many experts under his command.

Ying Zhilin's kung fu was so mediocre that he probably wouldn't be able to last more than a cup of tea against his opponent.

"Oh no, Ying Zhilin is in danger!"

Huo Yaoxing had just kidnapped Qi Yunzhou and was waiting for Ying Zhilin to be alone so that they would have the opportunity to take action.

Ying Zhilin chased out alone, which was like offering himself to the door!

"Where did they go? Take me there!"

My aunt was also panicked: "Okay... I'll take you there right away."

When they reached the alley where Ying Zhilin had chased out, Wen Yan instructed her aunt, "Go find Pei'er and ask her to take the sachet to Jingzhao Prefecture to report that a large number of candidates for the imperial examination have disappeared."

After Wen Yan finished speaking, he followed the traces and chased out.

Report to the police!

She has never dealt with officials in her life.

I was so scared that my legs went weak.

The aunt held the sachet and ran to find Pei'er tremblingly.

In the southwest corner of the capital, there is a mansion with five courtyards and four bays.

Twenty years ago, the original owner of the mansion and his family of 128 people were all killed overnight.

The house was also burned down by a fire.

The mansion has changed hands several times, and everyone who has moved in has said that the house is haunted.

In the end, this huge house was left vacant.

Because it is haunted, even beggars are unwilling to live here.

Over time, the house became completely abandoned, and even the residents nearby were affected.

They unanimously sealed the courtyard gate and opened it in another direction.

It makes the alley even colder and more eerie.

An alley that has been deserted for years.

Today, a carriage suddenly arrived and stopped at the gate of the collapsed courtyard.

The carriage curtain was lifted, and Wen Ruyue got off the carriage with the help of her maid.

They walked into the abandoned house.

Immediately, four servants came in carrying a man with his upper body covered with a sack.

They threw the sack roughly on the ground.

There was a groaning sound from inside the sack, and the person woke up, twisting on the ground and making a whimpering sound.

Wen Ruyue covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief. "It smells musty, it's terrible. Hurry up and cripple both of his arms."

Immediately, four servants rushed forward.

Three people held down the sack, while another person picked up a stone as big as a head and smashed it hard on the arm that was forcibly stretched out.

"Ugh..." The person in the sack struggled and screamed in pain, and soon fainted.

"Young Madam, his right hand is already disabled. He won't be able to write for at least a year or so."

"Okay, let's get out." Wen Ruyue said with disgust, turned around and walked out.

After taking two steps, she stopped again.

"Some people are left-handed. We must eliminate any possibility of this." She again instructed the four servants, "Go and cripple the other arm as well."

The four servants did the same thing and soon crippled his other arm as well.

The person who fainted from the pain woke up again in pain.

Wen Ruyue looked at the person wailing in pain on the ground with satisfaction.

At this moment, her personal maid hurried over and pointed at the person in the sack and reported, "Young Madam, Yingzhi Lin is looking for this person. He is now alone and is coming this way."

"I was just worried I couldn't find him! You've come just in time!" Wen Ruyue's face lit up with joy as she turned and left, "Let's go and block him in the alley."

The man with both arms broken endured the severe pain in his arms and struggled to free himself from the sack.

Who else could it be but the Qi Yunzhou that Ying Zhilin and Wen Yan are looking for like crazy?

Qi Yunzhou's face was pale and his forehead was covered in cold sweat.

"It turns out that what Brother Ying said is true."

He looked down at his two broken arms, his eyes filled with endless regret.

He shouldn't take it lightly.

Now it’s hurting others and yourself.

He heard their conversation just now.

It’s not enough that they have harmed themselves, they now want to harm Brother Ying!

no!

He has already gotten into trouble and cannot let Brother Ying be implicated again.

He is going to inform Brother Ying!

Let him run!

He twisted his body to sit up and staggered out.

Just arrived at the collapsed courtyard gate.

Two men suddenly emerged from the ruins.

In their hands they held the common laundry hammers.

Before Qi Yunzhou could react, he felt someone kick him in the chest and sent him flying backwards.

Bang--

There was a loud bang.

Qi Yunzhou fell heavily to the ground, feeling as if his internal organs were crushed.

"Are you Xie Congyi's men?" Qi Yunzhou spat out a mouthful of blood foam. "I didn't expect that after so many years, not only has he not improved, but his methods have become increasingly dirty and despicable..."

Before he could finish his words, the two men opposite rushed towards him with laundry hammers and beat him to death!

At the entrance of the alley not far from here.

Ying Zhilin was stopped by four masked servants.

Ying Zhilin instantly guessed their identities: "Qi Yunzhou is right in front? What did you do to him?"

He looked them up and down with sharp eyes, silently took off the purse hanging from his waist and put it in his arms.

This purse was sewn by Yanyan for herself stitch by stitch, so it must not be bumped or dirty.

"Since you are so curious, go down and accompany him!" They shouted and rushed forward.

Ying Zhilin took off his outer robe, twisted it into a strand in his hand, and used it as a weapon.

They were just four ordinary servants, and Ying Zhilin had learned some self-protection methods.

The four-on-one fight was so intense that it was difficult to tell who would win.

This won’t do!

It was unknown whether Qi Yunzhou was alive or dead. Every second he delayed would put Qi Yunzhou in greater danger.
