The best county magistrate

Chapter 36 Assassination

After the banquet, on the way back to the county government office, Zhou Miaomiao always felt that there was a pair of eyes staring at several people from behind.

But looking back, I no longer had those previous feelings.

Perhaps they were tired after a long day, so they went to rest separately after returning to the Yamen.

However, a few candles were lit in a vacant house in the city, and several people stood in front of a young man.

The dim candlelight reflected on the young man's swollen face, which looked particularly eye-catching.

"If you don't take revenge on me, I won't be called Xie Tianhua!"

Fierce eyes swept across the people in front of him, "Whoever has the guts to kill him, Second Young Master, I will reward him with ten thousand taels of silver!"

Money can make the world go round, let alone ten thousand taels of silver.

The strong man with a sinister face bowed his head and clasped his fists, "Second Young Master, I am willing to go to the county government office to get the head of that dog official!"

Another person said calmly: "Me too."

Everyone agreed.

Xie Tianhua looked at them and showed a sinister smile. Unfortunately, his swollen face was torn and injured, causing him to hiss in pain.

"Mr. Xie has never been so angry before in Beijing. An official as big as a sesame seed dares to bully me, Xie Tianhua."

"I'm so tired of living!"

"You guys have been following me for several years, and this isn't the first time you've done this."

"Remember to do it more cleanly later so that no one can catch you."

The strong man responded and said with a dry smile: "Don't worry, Second Young Master, we have checked and there are no experts in Qingshui County Government."

"They are just ordinary people. We can solve them quickly."

Xie Tianhua nodded and hammered the table with his clenched fist, "Go ahead and be careful."

On a murderous night when the moon is dark and the wind is high, a few frog drums startle dreams.

A few people were extremely skilled in lightness skills and jumped over the wall from the west side of the stable yard in the dark.

In the darkness, the groom Wang opened his eyes, looked at their figures walking towards the back hall, and frowned.

He hid himself in the darkness and followed them slowly.

In the east wing of the back hall, Zhou Miaomiao and Hu Lijing sat up from the bed respectively. The former got out of bed and took out a sword from underneath.

The latter came to her side and whispered, "Five people, are you sure?"

Zhou Miaomiao's eyes sparkled with sharp eyes, and her right hand was on the hilt of the sword. "With the master's command, Miaomiao will naturally be very confident."

The five people who attacked the county government at night stayed briefly outside Yang Xuanchen's bedroom.

The strong man gestured to the other four people, and one of them dipped his index finger in some saliva and gently poked the window paper.

He took out a small bamboo pole as thick as a finger and stretched it into the hole, then puffed up his cheeks and blew in a few breaths.

Lao Wang was lying on the roof of the west wing, watching the movements of several people, and then a smile appeared on his lips.

It seems that the little girl can't bear it anymore, and these thieves are going to suffer.

At this time, Zhou Miaomiao's face was covered with white gauze, the four-foot green-edged sword in her hand had been unsheathed, and she was hiding behind a pillar.

Just when someone opened a window in the bedroom, Zhou Miaomiao moved.

The ethereal and agile movement was like a ghost in the darkness. With a hiss, he sealed his throat with a sword.

The man holding the window covered his throat with a horrified expression as if he had seen a ghost. Then he fell to the ground with a plop, and blood continued to pour out from the wound.

The other four people saw the movement and gathered around.

A silver-white sword light flashed in the dark night, and the three of them fell to the ground on the spot.

The strong man with a sinewy face subconsciously raised his long knife and held it in front of him, avoiding the fatal sword strike.

However, there was no harsh metal collision sound when the swords met.

There was a crisp sound, and the long knife in the strong man's hand was cut off with a sword.

His pupils shrank suddenly, and he didn't care about the heroic words when he came. At this moment, his only thought was to escape.

How could Zhou Miaomiao allow him to escape, so she picked up her sword and chased after him.

With a bang, the Qingfeng Sword penetrated the strong man's back, followed by a cry of pain.

When a person dies, he cannot close his eyes.

After a few breaths, Zhou Miaomiao returned to the east wing, killing several people as if nothing had happened.

Push the door open and close the door again.

Lao Wang smiled even brighter. It seemed that he could sleep in the stable yard from now on.

Although it is not yet known what the purpose of the jade-faced fox and her nominal daughter is.

But judging from Guangnu Doll's performance tonight, she shouldn't have any bad intentions against Yang Xiaozi.

The thief's cry woke up Xiaolian who was in the side room. She rubbed her sleepy eyes and opened the door.

"what……"

"Human... head! Ah...!"

After several exclamations in succession, the lights lit up in the West Flower Hall and East Wing of the county government office.

Within a moment, Wei Junzhi, Zhou Miaomiao, and Hu Lijing stood outside the door of the back hall.

Wei Junzhi frowned, his eyes full of shock.

On the other hand, Zhou Miaomiao and Hu Lijing looked calm.

Zhang Biao, who arrived late, was stunned by the four corpses in front of the door. After calming down a little, he stepped forward to check.

"This man's throat was sealed with a sword, and the heads of those three were chopped off with a sword."

Observing the corpse carefully, his eyes were attracted to the broken blade of the long knife next to him, "The incision is so regular, such a sharp sword, such a fast technique!"

"Old Wei, have you discovered anything?" Zhang Biao asked with a frown.

"I also came here after hearing Xiaolian's shout. I don't know what happened."

After Wei Junzhi said this, he glanced into the room and said, "No, let's go see how the master is doing."

The two entered the room and found Xiaolian shaking Yang Xuanchen vigorously, "Master, Master! Wake up, don't die. What will I do if you die?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Biao immediately rushed over, pulled Xiaolian to the side, checked her pulse and sighed.

"It's okay, the master is still alive."

When he said this, his nostrils twitched a few times, and then he took a deep breath, "It's Mi Xiang!"

"Xiao Lian, go get a basin of cold water and wipe it with the master. He is addicted to the incense. It's nothing serious."

As soon as he finished speaking, two more exclamations came from the distance.

Zhang Biao followed the voice and turned around and came outside the back garden.

Um? Another corpse!

"This person was stabbed through the heart by a sword. The marks on the wound are exactly the same as those on the four people just now. It seems that they were done by the same person."

"Aunt Hu, Miss Zhou, you are frightened. I will handle the rest."

"You guys go to bed first."

After Zhang Biao summoned several government officials to clean up the scene, he returned to Yang Xuanchen's bedroom. Seeing that he was still awake, he sat in the back hall and watched over him.

Two hours passed, and Xie Tianhua, who was waiting hard in the house, was already red-eyed.

Didn't I say it would be solved soon? Why haven't I come back for so long?

Will they have an accident?

After waiting for a while, Xie Tianhua couldn't wait any longer and returned to the inn in the dark.

However, his mood became uneasy. What if an accident really happened and these guys confessed themselves?

He snorted heavily, the eldest sister is His Majesty's beloved concubine, and even they don't dare to do anything to him.

Thinking of this, Xie Tianhua rubbed his sore and painful face, his eyes changed from fear to sinisterness again.
