The screams were so miserable that even the storyteller in the teahouse was frightened.
In the chaos, no one could see who was shooting.
Of course, someone upstairs must have seen something, but I can't be sure who it was.
Someone outside shouted, "Someone's dead. Someone's dead."
There was already a chaotic fight on the streets, and it looked like the killer organization had no chance of winning.
I couldn't help but secretly curse the people who hired the killers for being stingy and calculating. How were these people any better than ordinary people?
Someone yelled, "Let's go. Let's go quickly."
The surviving killers scattered and left.
In addition to the killers, there are also Young Master Zhang, Young Master Liu, and Young Master Jiang's own people.
Those people can't run away.
Another scream came from upstairs, "Young Master Liu and Young Master Jiang of the Liu Mansion in the east of the city are dead, and Young Master Zhang is still breathing."
Now those people were dumbfounded.
They quickly scattered like birds and beasts.
There were many corpses lying all over the street, and blood was slowly flowing in the cracks between the bricks.
The smell of blood wafted in all directions.
Among the shops, only people were peeking out from the doorways, covering their mouths and watching. The rest of the timid people had long since hidden inside, not daring to come out.
The yamen runners received the report and rushed over with people.
Yue Jiushao's red brocade robe was covered in blood, and his arm was also cut.
He was even stabbed in the back. If Gu Beiheng hadn't been quick-eyed and pulled him away, he would have been killed by the knife.
He glanced around guiltily, secretly annoyed at his recent bad luck.
When the people from the yamen arrived here and heard that their young master had been injured, they quickly led their men to the teahouse opposite.
Others sealed off the place.
Su Qi and Gu Beiheng rushed to the backyard of Yipinlou to take Yue Jiushao to the hospital for treatment. Yue Qinggang and Xie Yi also had some minor injuries, but they were not serious.
The two little guys, Dabao and Erbao, stared at the corpses on the street with a fierce look in their eyes.
The two little guys took their daggers and slashed at the air a few times. They held their tongues and argued with themselves, saying that they could not protect their mother every time something happened.
This makes them very annoyed.
Zeng Wuming held their hands, one on each side, and led them to follow Xie Yi into the Yipintang Restaurant.
Baizhi followed in.
The owner of Yipintang Restaurant stayed behind to deal with the yamen runners.
This matter is very tricky, after all, the other party is Young Master Zhang.
Yue Qinggang walked a few steps, turned back, and waved to the shopkeeper. He whispered in his ear, "Send someone to Prince Jing's Mansion and Prince Hui's Mansion to tell them that Madam Gu has encountered some problems. Tell them everything that happened here."
No one saw Gu Beiheng shooting the crossbow.
Only people saw Su Qi using the Rain of Pear Blossom Needles.
Yue Qinggang was not afraid of being confronted, and besides, his own people would not speak.
Even if someone else saw it, it would be fine as long as they knew who the Jingwang Mansion and Huiwang Mansion supported.
Su Qi went in first to clean the wound for Yue Jiushao, suture and bandage it. She didn't use any anesthesia for Yue Jiushao, and just sutured him like that.
Yue Jiushao grimaced and cried out in pain.
He remembered that Su Qi seemed to have some pain-reducing medicine. The pain was so severe that Yue Jiushao broke out in a cold sweat and quickly asked ingratiatingly, "Madam Gu, do you have any painkillers for me?"
"I forgot because I was worried."
Yue Jiushao would never believe that Su Qi had forgotten. He knew Su Qi did it on purpose. This stingy woman.
Su Qi took out a silver needle and gently inserted it into his acupoint.
After a while.
Yue Jiushao felt that the pain was much less.
He let out a long sigh and let Su Qi continue to sew.
Su Qi had just cut the thread with scissors when the yamen runners came over.
"Who are Gu Beiheng and Su Qi? Come out here quickly. You are causing trouble, get out here." The leading yamen runner was Zhang Shuishan's man.
When they reached the opposite building, several people in the house were shot in the chest and head by crossbow arrows and died on the spot.
Only Young Master Zhang howled with his neck stretched out for a whole cup of tea. By the time the doctor from the street was carried over by the messenger, he was already dead.
He was worried that something bad would happen, so he was definitely looking for someone to take the blame.
Anyone who heard about the fight on the street would definitely arrest Gu Beiheng and the others.
As for the killer and the others, just pretend you didn't see them.
Gu Beiheng's eyebrows twitched unhappily, and his hand gripping the sword tightened. The tail of the sword trembled unconsciously as if it was going to kill again.
"What have we done wrong? We came to eat and were assassinated for no apparent reason. Shouldn't you look for the murderer?" Gu Beiheng had a cold and indifferent expression on his face.
With a cold and oppressive feeling of a superior.
The leading yamen runner always felt a chill coming from him, even though the person in front of him was just an ordinary person.
But he felt that this man was an evil spirit.
"A street fight resulted in the death of Young Master Liu, Young Master Zhang and several others. Aren't the crimes you committed serious enough?" The yamen runner tried to straighten his back and give himself more courage.
The shopkeeper of Yipinlou rushed in.
He wiped the sweat from his forehead, and the back of his clothes was soaked with sweat. "Sir, our Master Gu used a sword. Our people don't have bows and arrows. We are the victims. My boss is still alive or dead."
As he spoke, he wiped the corners of his eyes with his hands.
"Mr. and Mrs. Gu are distinguished guests of Prince Jing's Mansion and Prince Hui's Mansion. What if something goes wrong?" Yue Qinggang said with a worried look on his face, pinching his brows with his fingers.
The yamen runner wanted to speak.
Someone rushed in at the door.
Li Hao pointed a sharp sword at the yamen runner's eyebrows. If the runner took another step forward, the runner would surely be chopped off the head.
"What do you want to do? Why are you here if not going to catch the murderer?"
Li Hao was an official of high rank, though not as high as Zhang Shuishan, but he was also a member of the Prince Hui's Palace.
The yamen runner shuddered and carefully tilted his head back. "Sir Li, I'm investigating this case."
Helian followed in with a sneer.
"Investigating a case? The kind where you focus on the victim and catch them?" Helian glanced at Gu Beiheng from the corner of his eye. He had a feeling that this man was not simple. Someone had already told him what happened on the street.
He had to save Gu Beiheng.
The yamen runner wanted to cry, the killer ran away.
Anyone with a discerning eye can tell who the remaining people are.
Everyone knows very well what happened today, and even if there is no evidence, we must provide evidence.
"Get out of here. If I find out again that you yamen runners don't use your brains when investigating cases, I will cut your heads off." Li Hao was full of anger and he cursed at the yamen runners.
The yamen runners were so scared that they almost peed their pants.
He quickly ran out with his men.
The leading yamen runner hurried back to the government office and reported the matter to the prefect Zhang Shuishan.
Here, Helian put away the sharp sword in his hand and glanced at the ancient sword in Gu Beiheng's hand.
If I'm not mistaken, this sword is made of black iron.
Oh my god.
This sword was worth a fortune. He turned his envious gaze away. "Master Gu. You have great skills."
Gu Beiheng shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I almost got killed, how can I talk about my skills?"
"Don't worry. No one will bring up this matter. Master Gu is a vindictive person."
Gu Beiheng knew what Li Hao and Helian had guessed, but he had no evidence.
The yamen runners had searched the place earlier and didn't find any bows and arrows.
"I have the will to seek revenge, but I don't have the strength."
Helian and the other man didn't say anything more.
Helian simply said he would personally escort them to the Hot Spring Villa. "Don't worry, even Magistrate Zhang wouldn't dare enter the Merlin Villa. I'll send someone to pick you up tomorrow."
Gu Beiheng knew that there was no way he could eat here anymore.
He nodded in agreement.
The shopkeeper had already prepared a few food boxes and brought them out, saying that they were prepared for Gu Beiheng and the others to eat at Meilin Villa.
Yue Jiushao stayed in the backyard to recuperate, and he also needed to know the progress of other things.
The rest of the people got on the carriage and went directly to Merlin Villa.
Li Hao did not follow, only Helian led people to send Gu Beiheng and others there.
I arrived at the entrance of Meilin Hot Spring Villa but did not go in.
He just said hello to Gu Beiheng on horseback and said that he would come to pick them up to take them to Prince Jing's Mansion at noon tomorrow.
Su Qi, Gu Beiheng and others entered the villa.
The villa is very big.
It took a full incense stick of time for the carriage to enter before Merlin appeared.
