Chapter 10 Bastard
"My eldest brother gave me a farm before. I have never been there and have always asked the housekeeper to take care of it. That place is in the suburbs and there are not many people. Maybe I can send them there."
Chen Shixu felt that the place Xiao Jinyi mentioned was very suitable. Now these girls should stay in a quiet place without disturbance to relieve their emotional pain.
Shen Shixu and Xiao Jinyi escorted the group of girls outside, but just as they walked out and in front of the iron gate, they saw a group of people with murderous eyes walking towards them with knives.
Xiao Jinyi rushed forward with a sword in hand, and Shen Shixu also clenched his sword and stood in front of the girls, looking at Xiao Jinyi nervously.
Xiao Jinyi's swordsmanship was smooth and flowing, without any frills, and each of his swords was very simple. Whenever he used his sword, the opponent would always lose some combat effectiveness.
However, no matter how powerful Xiao Jinyi was, he could not withstand the increasing number of people, and there was a group of people behind him who needed to be protected. Gradually, one or two thieves passed Xiao Jinyi and came in front of Shen Shixu.
The girls behind Shen Shixu screamed as they watched the knife-wielding man getting closer and closer to them. 011 was also worried about Shen Shixu at this time.
Xiao Jinyi was also very worried. Even though Shen Shixu had assured him before that he was not a weak scholar, he was still worried.
011 The whole system huddled together, and was clearly terrified and wanted to scream with the girls, but was afraid of delaying Shen's performance, so he just nervously helped him stare at the two people rushing towards him with knives.
[Brother, be careful, they are coming. Why don’t you take the young ladies behind you and go back to hide? Close the big iron gate and they won't be able to get in. 】
Before Shen Shixu had time to talk to him, the man with the knife had already chopped over, aiming at Shen Shixu's neck.
Shen Shixu raised his sword to block it, and when another man chopped at his back with a knife, he kicked the man directly in the chest with his leg. At the same time, he kicked the man out and used the force of the kick to push forward suddenly. The man who was fighting with him with the knife did not expect his strength to suddenly increase, and was suppressed by him and half-knelt on the ground for a while.
Before he could react, Shen Shixu directly cut the man's neck when he tried to stand up, and blood spurted out.
Shen Shixu's body and face were splashed with blood, but he didn't care. He raised his sword and went to fight the person he had just kicked away.
The man saw that Shen Shixu was not easy to mess with, so he wanted to bully the girls. As soon as he approached with a knife, he was pierced through the chest by a sword on the spot.
During the fight, Xiao Jinyi kept an eye on Chen Shixu. Seeing that he was handling the situation well, he stopped paying attention to him. By the time he stopped, Chen Shixu had just finished dealing with the two men.
Xiao Jinyi came over holding the bloody sword, and looked at Shen Shixu with admiration in his eyes, "I thought you were very good at solving cases before, but I didn't expect that your martial arts skills are not weak, and your literary talent is even more impressive. You are so outstanding, I wonder how many officials will want to take you back to be their son-in-law."
Xiao Jinyi originally wanted to praise Chen Shixu, but he felt a little unhappy as he spoke. When he thought that Chen Shixu might be in harmony with a certain woman in the future, he felt a little uncomfortable.
"I'm not planning on getting married yet, and I want to find someone I really like, so I won't marry someone I don't know just because of a matchmaker's words."
Xiao Jinyi was very happy to hear his words, and he could hardly suppress the smile on his face.
"Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's go up quickly. The air down there smells so bad, and there's so much blood on my body. I need to wash it thoroughly." Shen Shixu looked down at the blood on his body with a look of disgust.
Xiao Jinyi and Shen Shixu led the girls out of the underground palace. The girls had not seen the daylight for a long time. When they came out, they stood in the sun without moving, closing their eyes and enjoying the sunlight and breeze.
Xiao Jinyi took out the flare he carried with him and set it off, then went to see Shen Shixu, who was squatting by the pond, cleaning the blood off his face with a clean handkerchief.
Shen Shixu had already taken off the blood-stained coat. Fortunately, the weather was not cold, otherwise he would have caught a cold.
Mo Yu quickly brought people over. Xiao Jinyi asked him to first bring out the survivors from the underground palace and then put them in the Dali Temple prison. He also asked him to arrange a few friendly people to send the girls to his farm in the suburbs.
Mo Yu has already run three times today. Even if he has high martial arts skills, he is very tired and really wants to quit.
Perhaps seeing his tiredness and unhappiness, Xiao Jinyi said before he left: "Finish the tasks I asked you to do, and you can take a day off tomorrow. In addition, I will double your monthly salary this month."
Hearing this, Mo Yu suddenly felt full of strength again. He happily took the person away. He was not at all the cold and aloof that Xiao Jinyi had when they first met him.
Shen Shixu cleaned the blood stains on his face and said to Xiao Jinyi who was waiting for him in the yard: "I'm fine, let's go back quickly. The earlier the interrogation, the sooner the result can be obtained."
When the two returned to the Dali Temple, the person sent by Mo Yu had already confessed. Shen Shixu looked at the confession submitted by the people below, his face blue and black.
Xiao Jinyi's face also looked very bad. When he saw the underground palace, he already had someone he suspected.
The person who could hollow out a house without anyone noticing was definitely not an ordinary person. He must be related to an official in the court. He just didn't expect it to be him!
"I will show the confession to my father, and leave the rest to me." It was inconvenient to deal with the final mastermind, Shen Shixu, so Xiao Jinyi decided to ask Emperor Wu'an for permission to handle it personally.
Shen Shixu understood that he was doing this for his own good. He couldn't afford to offend that person, so he decided to let someone who could afford to offend him catch him!
"Okay, I understand. I'll go back first then."
Shen Shixu saw that the case was done and planned to go back to change his clothes. He was currently wearing a white middle-length coat.
Watching him turn away, Xiao Jinyi said, "I forgot to congratulate you. You solved this big case in just one day and secured your position as the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple. And remember to go to court tomorrow morning, Shaoqing!"
Hearing Xiao Jinyi addressing him, Shen Shixu turned around and smiled at him, as bright as a summer flower.
After Shen Shixu left, Xiao Jinyi rode into the palace with his confession. After reading the confession, Emperor Wu'an was so angry that veins popped out on his forehead. He slammed the table hard and cursed: "Asshole! He actually did such a thing. Before, for the sake of your aunt and uncle, many things were handled lightly. I didn't expect that doing this would indulge his courage and make him even more lawless.
Jin Yi, go there yourself and capture that bastard for me. Don't worry about the fact that he is your cousin. ”
