After I became a passerby, I saved the villain's family

His shout brought out the hatred hidden in the hearts of the salt workers.

Everyone rushed towards Wei Kangyuan and the group of soldiers at the salt field and started beating them up with fists and kicks.

No one stopped them.

They vented their hatred and anger to their heart's content.

Wei Kangyuan and the group of officers and soldiers were unable to struggle and could only silently endure the punches and kicks falling on their bodies.

Seeing that the group of people on the ground were dying, Xiao Yujing raised his hand, and the officers and soldiers waiting on the side hurried forward to pull the salt workers apart.

Xiao Yujing looked at the group of people lying limp on the ground and spoke coldly.

"Wei Kangyuan, the magistrate of Yangping County, bullied the people, colluded with the rebels, and killed hundreds of people. He deserves death!"

"Come here, take him to prison and execute him tomorrow!"

After he finished speaking, Wei Kangyuan, who was lying on the ground, looked ashen and no longer had the strength to struggle.

When the salt workers heard the verdict, they knelt down and kowtowed in excitement.

"Your Excellency is wise!"

"Your Excellency is wise!"

Another thunder sounded in the sky, and the sparse raindrops finally turned into heavy rain, pouring down.

Burch quickly opened the umbrella and covered Xiao Yujing.

"Everyone, get up." Xiao Yujing looked at the salt workers kneeling on the ground.

The salt workers did not move.

"Sir Prefect, the next thing will be left to you." Xiao Yujing said.

The prefect bowed quickly, "Yes, Your Highness."

Xiao Yujing nodded and walked away.

The salt worker kneeling in the front heard the prefect's words and quickly spoke:

"It's His Royal Highness the Crown Prince! He is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

"What? It's His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

"Your Highness is wise! Your Highness is wise!"

The salt workers knelt on the ground, bowed deeply in the direction of Xiao Yujing, and shouted in unison:

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is wise! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is wise!"

Xiao Yujing stopped, turned around and looked at the people kneeling behind him.

He pursed his lips tightly, and his eyes were filled with ripples.

"Let's go to Liancheng!"

Turning around, Xiao Yujing strode forward.

-

Xie Mansion.

There was a thunder in the sky, and Jiang Ruoli was suddenly awakened from her sleep.

Looking out the window, the sky was dark and gloomy, and I couldn't tell the time for a moment.

The raindrops fell on the window eaves.

Jiang Ruoli was sweating profusely and her whole body was soaked.

She had a nightmare just now, dreaming that her third brother was taken away by an eagle...

While I was reminiscing, Hua Rui came in with a basin of clear water.

"Cousin, you're awake." Hua Rui said with a smile.

"What time is it?" Jiang Ruoli asked.

"It's just past the hour of Mao, it's still early, do you want to sleep a little longer?" Hua Rui advised.

Jiang Ruoli shook her head.

"Won't sleep anymore."

Her head is throbbing and she can't sleep.

Jiang Ruoli got out of bed and took the wet handkerchief handed to her by Huarui.

Just as he was about to wipe his face, he saw Hua Rui's eyes were red, and it was obvious that she had just cried.

Jiang Ruoli frowned.

"Hua Rui, what's wrong with you?"

When Jiang Ruoli asked, Hua Rui fell to her knees with a plop, her voice tinged with tears:

"Miss, there was a fire in the warehouse last night. My cousin and Fuping went to put out the fire, and both of them...are missing..."

what? !

Jiang Ruoli fell onto the bed.

Why so suddenly?

But this fire did not exist in the original book.

Is this an accident, or is it Fu Jichu's doing?

If Fu Jichu took the third brother away, it should take a few days.

Is it really an accident?

"Your Highness...is Young Master Yun at home?" Jiang Ruoli asked hurriedly.

Huarui shook her head.

"Mr. Yun left the house last night and never came back."

It seems that something happened at the salt field as well.

Without time to think, Jiang Ruoli hurriedly put on her clothes and ran to the front yard.

At this time, everyone in the Xie Mansion was waiting anxiously in the front hall.

Jiang Ruoli ran into the front hall in panic.

"Grandfather, my third brother..."

Jiang Ruoli looked up at Mr. Xie.

Mr. Xie sighed.

"We have sent people out to look for him, but there is no news yet..."

Jiang Ruoli's body swayed and she almost lost her balance.

How could he suddenly disappear?

"Boom!"

There was a loud thunder in the sky.

Immediately afterwards, heavy rain poured down.

At this time, a servant ran in hurriedly.

"Master, Fuping is back!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Fuping was seen covered in blood, being supported by a servant into the house.

"Fuping!"

Jiang Ruoli hurried forward.

"What happened?!"

Fuping was helped to sit down. He raised his head weakly and looked at Jiang Ruoli.

"Miss......"

Last night, the Xie family’s warehouse at the ferry caught fire, and Jiang Ci Jin rushed him to the ferry.

The fire was so big that it burned three warehouses in succession.

A group of people fought the fire until late at night before they finally put it out.

After checking and counting the losses in the warehouse, the master and servant hurried back as it was getting light.

Unexpectedly, they had not walked far when a group of men in black suddenly appeared on the road and slashed at them with knives.

Fu Ping quickly protected Jiang Ci Jin and hid him.

The two secret guards who were protecting secretly also showed up and started fighting with the man in black.

The group of men in black were powerful and outnumbered, so Fuping and his men were quickly at a disadvantage.

Forced into an alley by the men in black, the two secret guards were unable to resist and were both killed.

Fuping was also seriously injured and fainted.

Before he fell unconscious, he clearly saw the Black Hawk Gang logo on the opponent's knife handle.

When he woke up, Jiang Ci Jin was no longer by his side.

He held on to his last breath and returned to Xie's house to report the news.

As soon as he finished speaking, Fuping fainted.

"Quick! Take him downstairs and ask the court doctor to treat him!" Mr. Xie said hurriedly.

Jiang Ruoli stood there in a daze.

how come?

Why did the Black Hawk Gang suddenly take away the third brother?

According to the plot of the original book, the third brother has been recuperating at home these days and will not go out until a few days later. That is when the Black Hawk Gang will take action.

How could it be early?

Is there anyone else besides the Black Hawk Gang who wants to kill Third Brother?

Jiang Ruoli suddenly thought of someone in her mind.

The third prince!

"Grandfather, I want to go to Liancheng." Jiang Ruoli said in a firm voice.

Mr. Xie's body swayed.

"Absolutely not!"

"Li'er, Liancheng is the territory of the Black Hawk Gang. It's too dangerous for you to go there alone!"

"Let your uncles handle this matter."

As he said this, he looked at the eldest and second uncles of the Xie family.

"Boss, take your men to Liancheng. No matter what the other party offers, you must bring Jin'er back safely!"

"Second brother, you come with me to Black Hawk Mountain!"

Jiang Ruoli was extremely anxious.

"Grandfather, please let me go. One more person means one more way!"

"But you are a weak woman, how can you save Jin'er!"

Mr. Xie firmly refused her request to take the risk.

"Grandfather, please believe me this time!" Jiang Ruoli begged.

She couldn't save him, but someone could.

Mr. Xie looked at Jiang Ruoli's persistence and closed his eyes.

"Okay, go ahead, but you must protect yourself no matter what."

"Yilin, you escort Miss Biao."

Yilin is a guard of the Xie Mansion. He is skilled in martial arts and can protect Jiang Ruoli.

Jiang Ruoli nodded, turned around and left quickly.

The rain was heavy and falling rapidly from the sky.

"drive!"

The sound of horse hooves sounded.

Jiang Ruoli got on the carriage and hurried to Liancheng...
