Dong Tao first looked around to make sure no one was close to them, then lowered her voice and said, "I also heard that during the spring hunt last year, she deliberately killed the Minister of Justice's only daughter, Lin Zhimeng."
"This matter has been privately spread in Kyoto City. It is said that Lin Zhimeng was eaten by wild beasts and only a leg was left. There was not even a complete body."
That cruel scene is hard to imagine.
"The son of the Grand Historian's favorite concubine was accused of maliciously tampering with the Historical Records. The case was tried by the Grand Court Justice, and since the case involved royal secrets, the Grand Historian's son was sentenced to death. From then on, the two families became enemies."
"During the spring hunt, it was said that Zheng Yutong deliberately drove the beasts mad. Lin Zhimeng kindly tried to save her, but she pushed her into the herd. By the time rescuers arrived, only one leg was left."
Dongtao talked about what she knew, but she didn't know the more specific details.
"Lin Tingwei was fair and strict throughout his life, and he investigated and judged countless cases, but the death of his beloved daughter could only be ruled as an accident." Xie Yuening couldn't help but sigh.
After all, everything is just speculation. There is also a little girl who has a good relationship with Zheng Yutong and had nightmares every night after this incident. The woman who was on night watch heard it and then spread it.
Shen Qingwu was thoughtful. Could it be that Zheng Yutong really was the one who harmed that person?
The wronged ghost is seeking revenge?
Shen Qingwu knew that sometimes people who died unjustly developed obsessions and were unable to enter the underworld, so they stayed in the human world and sought justice.
If no one in the world asks for her, she will ask for it herself.
As long as no innocent people are implicated, you will not be punished too severely in the underworld.
"We should stay away from them. No matter what happens to them later, we should not care about it." Shen Qingwu immediately decided to stay away from this scourge.
"Zheng Yutong may have some medicinal powder that can make wild beasts violent. Let's go this way." Xie Yuening was also alert.
After taking a look at the group of people following them, they suddenly rushed towards a small path on the side in front. Shen Qingwu and Dongtao quickly followed.
After keeping some distance, Xie Yuening and Shen Qingwu looked at each other, nodded, and then drew the long swords on their backs and chopped at the tree trunks on the side of the road.
In an instant, the trees fell down, blocking the road behind.
The three of them turned around and looked at Zheng Yutong and others from a distance across a row of fallen trees.
The sound of breaking air came from the right.
"Get down!" Xie Yuening and Shen Qingwu said at the same time.
The three of them lay on their horses' backs, and the sharp arrows penetrated the tree trunk on their left side.
The sound of horse hooves came, and Chu Zhiyou apologized hypocritically, "I'm sorry, I didn't hurt you, I was chasing an elk."
"Mr. Chu not only has poor eloquence, but also poor eyesight, and his archery skills are even mediocre." Shen Qingwu sat up straight and sneered.
"Shen Qingwu, how dare you!" Chu Zhiyou angrily drew his bow and arrow again. "In a hunting ground, it's normal to get hit by arrows accidentally. Shen Qingwu, today I'll show you what happens if you offend me."
"Mutual." Shen Qingwu drew out an arrow without hesitation and pulled the bow.
Even before she transformed, she was not the type to sit back and wait for a beating. As long as she was sure of her ability, she would beat anyone who provoked her until they dared not fight back.
With a sound of breaking air, the long sword in Xie Yuening's hand effortlessly cut off the arrow shot by Chu Zhiyou, and Shen Qingwu's arrow also flew out.
It seemed to be aimed at Chu Zhiyou's chest, but in fact it was aimed at the neck of the horse under Chu Zhiyou's crotch.
So Chu Zhiyou thought he had made an accurate judgment and leaned back, but he didn't expect the horse to raise its front legs and neigh because of the pain. Chu Zhiyou was thrown off the horse without any preparation, and was knocked unconscious by the fall.
The arrow completely pierced the horse's neck, its hind legs went limp, and its body fell straight towards Chu Zhiyou on the ground.
Zheng Yutong and his group closed their eyes and didn't dare to look.
Dongtao also lifted it up in one breath.
However, just when everyone thought that Chu Zhiyou would be crushed to death or half-crippled by the horse, Shen Qingwu suddenly flew to Chu Zhiyou like a ghost and kicked him out from under the horse that was about to crush him to death.
Chu Zhiyou's body hit the tree trunk behind him heavily, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.
What followed was the dull thud of a horse falling heavily to the ground. The ground shook, and several nearby horses dared not to step on the spot.
Before Chu Zhiyou fell into coma, he looked at Shen Qingwu who was standing in front of him in disbelief. He raised his hand halfway and then fell heavily again.
"Useless things." Shen Qingwu sneered in disdain and looked at Chu Guannan and others who arrived late.
They all saw what happened from afar, and Chu Guannan skillfully controlled the distance and time in between.
Xie Enyu, the best martial artist among the playboys, also rode over at that moment, but it was obvious that his martial arts skills were not good enough. If Shen Qingwu had not taken action, his skills would not have been able to save Chu Zhiyou.
"Your brother provoked me, and now I've saved his life. In exchange, shouldn't you give us the fox you hunted as a thank you gift?"
Shen Qingwu raised his finger and pointed at a half-dead fox that Zheng Hengyi was hanging on the ground, and made a request without any politeness.
"Brother, no, she wants to kill Master Chu!" Zheng Yutong had already ridden his horse around and came over with difficulty.
I just think Shen Qingwu is too shameless, and I speak to Zheng Hengyi anxiously.
Zheng Hengyi glanced at the felled tree, then looked at his sister, frowning slightly.
But before he could speak, Xie Enyu turned around on his horse and took the fox off his horse's back and threw it at Shen Qingwu's feet, "Miss Shen is right."
After saying that, he glanced at his sister, then quickly retracted his gaze, dismounted, and threw Chu Zhiyou on the ground onto the horse's back.
"You, how could you do this?" Zheng Yutong couldn't believe that these playboys would just let Shen Qingwu go and give her the gift they had just received.
"This fox was hunted by Enyu." Zheng Hengyi scratched his head. Although he was carrying the fox, he had no right to dispose of it.
Zheng Yutong looked at his brother with disdain.
Zheng Hengyi scratched his head again, his eyes lit up, and said, "Tongtong, why don't you come with us?"
This way, you can create opportunities for you to get along with each other.
He is so smart.
Zheng Yutong tightened his grip on the reins and struggled in his heart.
"I do not travel with women." However, Chu Guannan did not give her a chance to decide and turned around and retreated from the dock first. "Zhiyou is injured. My hunting for this year ends here. Enyu, take Zhiyou back to camp."
Seeing that Chu Guannan didn't even look at him, Zheng Yutong gritted his teeth and looked at Shen Qingwu with vicious eyes. His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan didn't object to giving up the prey.
Shen Qingwu didn't look at Chu Guannan's departing back, but only looked at Zheng Yutong, and asked her with a half-smile, "Do you still want to follow?"
