I trade my property for my wife

Chapter 48 The Scorched Land

The man in black wailed and fell to the ground hugging his legs, Jiang Xingchen frowned, the guard next to such a loud voice didn't come over.

Jiang Xingchen looked out the door, feeling bad, Yu Zhesheng was next door, and it seemed that these two people were not the only ones she had heard just now.She wanted to go out but was stopped by the man in black who was kicked down by her just now, the blade met the moon, and the silver light struck.Jiang Xingchen quickly turned his back to dodge, took up the sword in his hand, and swiped over at an extremely fast speed, slashing the arm of the man in black.Taking advantage of the moment the man dropped the knife, she turned around and stabbed the sword at the wrist of his other hand, circled half a circle, the tendons in her hand broke, and blood gushed out immediately.

One of the two men in black fell to the ground and couldn't stand upright, and the other couldn't pick up the handle of the knife with both hands.No longer able to fight back, Jiang Xingchen hurried to Yu Zhesheng's room.

When he went in, he found that the person was soundly asleep. Jiang Xingchen smelled a faint smell of smoke and held his breath.Covering his face with his sleeve, he wanted to go over and wake Yu Zhesheng up.Fang stretched out his hand, and there was a knife chant, Jiang Xingchen quickly withdrew his hand and turned to avoid it.

The man in black hiding behind the bed curtain didn't succeed in one move, so he jumped out to fight Jiang Xingchen.Jiang Xingchen looked at the man in black in front of him. These people were all trying to kill her, but Yu Zhesheng, who was helpless, only used drugs, but did not hurt him.

But she didn't have time to think about it, Yu Zhesheng was still in a coma, she was afraid that the man in black would find an opportunity to hurt Yu Zhesheng.

Jiang Xingchen's eyes turned sharp, and before the man in black could make a move, she raised her sword and picked up the kettle on the round wooden table, and the man blocked it with a knife.Jiang Xingchen's sword followed suit.Straight to the point, the man in black fell to the ground.

Jiang Xingchen looked at Yu Zhesheng on the bed, but he didn't wake up from such a loud voice. It seemed that he had inhaled too much drug.

She went to the other guards' rooms to take another look, and found that everyone else was also drugged, but her room was not.

Did someone want her dead?Then why don't you drug yourself like them?It was two men in black who entered her room, killing her with knives.There is also a thief.

Whether her whereabouts have been exposed, she does not know.She had no way of knowing who was trying to kill her.

Jiang Xingchen searched the man in black who had fallen to the ground in Yu Zhe's holy room, and found the unused smoke on his body.When I went back to the room to search for the other two men in black, I found that they had disappeared, including the thief.Jiang Xingchen held the lamp and looked at the blood on the ground. He actually walked from the eaves.

Jiang Xingchen was sitting in Yu Zhesheng's room, looking at the corpse on the ground, thinking about how to deal with it.

It was dawn, but Yu Zhesheng still didn't wake up, and Jiang Xingchen didn't wake up after calling several times.Helpless, Jiang Xingchen had no choice but to go back to the room and splash the water in the teapot on Yu Zhesheng's face.Yu Zhesheng woke up for a moment, a little panicked.

Jiang Xingchen sighed, looked at him, and then Yu Zhesheng saw Jiang Xingchen in the room, and Fang wanted to ask why she was in his room.Smelling the smell of blood in the air again, I lowered my head and saw that the yelling was louder.

Jiang Xingchen frowned slightly, he might as well handle it by himself.

Jiang Xingchen told about the drug use and assassination. Yu Zhesheng still looked at the man in black on the ground with a terrified expression, his face pale and pale.

Jiang Xingchen stood up: "Go and wake up those guards, I'll go downstairs and ask the innkeeper to report to the yamen."

She was afraid that Yu Zhesheng would not be able to explain clearly.

When Yu Zhesheng heard Jiang Xingchen's words, he immediately ran out of the room.

Jiang Xingchen went downstairs, and when he got to the counter, he saw Qin Ling.Jiang Xingchen smiled slightly when he saw Qin Ling's tense face.

Jiang Xingchen said happily: "Brother, you are here."

Qin Ling looked tired, nodded and said, "Well, after receiving the news from Your Majesty... I will come soon after receiving the news that you are coming out, and some things have delayed it for a day."

Jiang Xingchen said again: "How do you know that I live here?"

Qin Ling was puzzled: "Didn't you send someone to tell me?

Jiang Xingchen frowned. She didn't send anyone to tell Qin Ling.She knew that Qin Ling would definitely come here to look for her, but she didn't know that Qin Ling would come so soon.

Seeing Jiang Xingchen's expression, Qin Ling knew there must be something wrong, so she didn't continue to ask.Hearing Jiang Xingchen, he said to the shopkeeper who was yawning and still rubbing his eyes: "Several thieves came into the room at the fourth watch today and attacked with knives. Two of them were injured by me and fled, and one died on the spot. , report to the police.”

The shopkeeper's drowsy head suddenly lost sleepiness, and he stammered in shock: "Dead...dead...dead?"

Jiang Xingchen frowned and nodded, the shopkeeper didn't go upstairs to take a look, so he went to the government office with Xiaoer.

Someone from the government directly took Jiang Xingchen away without any explanation.Qin Ling and the others wanted to stop him, but Jiang Xingchen shook his head because he had killed someone.He signaled them not to act rashly, whether their whereabouts have been exposed has not yet been clarified, if it is just a simple burglary, revealing their identities may delay what Xiao Huang explained.

Jiang Xingchen thought that the government would deal with it fairly, but he didn't want to be thrown into a cell directly.After staying for a day, he hadn't even passed the trial in court, so he was going to be detained according to his signature.

Ask directly.

This is the worst imperial envoy in the history of Xiao Kingdom.

With shackles on his body, Jiang Xingchen looked at the confession in front of him.

She asked the jailer who was watching the cell next to her, "Why didn't you ask me why you asked me to plead guilty?"

The jailer and yamen servant next to her saw her frail appearance and polite speech, so he said a few more words: "Let you die to understand that the person you killed was our county magistrate's brother-in-law."

Jiang Xingchen was shocked for a moment.

Jiang Xingchen said: "Even the relatives of the county officials, how can they know how to break the law and go to the inn to do that robber's thing."

The yamen servant sneered: "It's enough to have power these days, whoever cares about you. If you want me to tell you, just accept your fate, so as not to suffer some flesh and blood."

Jiang Xingchen snorted coldly, straightened his waist, and refused to draw the bet.

Several yamen servants entered her cell with a big stick and some torture tools, and a machete at their waist.

Jiang Xingchen laughed when he saw that they were going to torture her into custody.This smile stunned the people around him.Since officials bend the law for personal gain, she doesn't have to follow the rules.

"Hey, hey, take it easy--"

Before Jiang Xingchen could make a move, Qin Ling brought people in, not only to rob the prison, but also brought the county magistrate here, who was being dragged to the cell by Qin Ling at this moment.The hostility on Qin Ling's body made the jailers and yamen servants back away in horror.

Qin Ling looked at the shackles on Jiang Xingchen's body and said coldly, "The key."

The county magistrate shouted: "Give...give her the key."

Qin Ling took the key carefully handed over by the jailer, and let go of the county magistrate's collar.When releasing Jiang Xingchen's hand and foot shackles, the county magistrate slowed down and said to the jailer behind him, "Hack them all to death."

Qin Ling's eyebrows were murderous, and he knocked down the jailer who came forward with his scabbard when he heard the sound.The man had broken ribs and was lying on the ground, crying tears of pain.

When the other jailers saw this, no one dared to step forward.

After Jiang Xingchen unshackled his hands and feet, he didn't continue to deal with them, and went straight out of the county prison.Outside, Yu Zhesheng had led people to wait for a long time, Jiang Xingchen got on the horse, and turned to look at the gate of the county mansion.

There should be a lot of injustice here for an official who is so reckless about human life.

Jiang Xingchen and his party did not go back to the inn, but went directly to the outskirts of Guning County, to the place where the meteorite fell.The group of people was too eye-catching, Jiang Xingchen ordered people to wait elsewhere, and himself, Qin Ling, and Yu Zhesheng went over to investigate.

Yu Zhesheng told Jiang Xingchen on the road that the county magistrate of Guning County is not a good person.The relatives around him all took advantage of his power to ascend to heaven.The entire Guning County is under their shadow, and no one dares to offend them.

Then the passbook that was handed over...Jiang Xingchen thought about it for a while, it seems that it is not the passbook from the county government, this place is under the jurisdiction of King Xuan.

King Xuan is Xiao Huang's half-brother, because his mother and concubine were not of high birth, but he was favored by the former emperor, so he allocated this place as a sealed household for this prince.

King Xuan-Xiao Xiuxuan is much younger than Emperor Xiao.There is no majestic courage, a leisurely prince.Addicted to romance, he did something beyond other people's imagination when he was young.He defied all opinions and married a Jiangnan woman as his concubine, and there was only this one concubine in the family for so many years.

The three of Jiang Xingchen arrived at the place where the meteorite fell, and looked at a large area of ​​scorched land.Jiang Xingchen carefully identified it, and found that there were obvious traces of overturning the land, some fallen rubble, and ashes seemed to have been artificially scattered on the renovated wet soil.

There are houses nearby.

It is said that the meteorite is as big as four people surrounded by it. It is definitely not so easy to move such a large meteorite.Looking around, there was no trace of meteorites. Jiang Xingchen doubted whether there really were meteorites.

Yu Zhesheng looked around the terrain for a week, and the place to renovate the land is closer to the riverside.

Yu Zhesheng said to Jiang Xingchen: "Even if there is a natural disaster, the fire can be extinguished in time when the meteorite falls. Why can the whole village be burned down?"

Qin Ling expressed the two people's speculation in one sentence: "The fire was set on fire."

Jiang Xingchen turned around and glanced at Qin Ling and said anxiously, "Go to the riverside and have a look."

The three of them observed along the river, and there was nothing suspicious.The grass also grew luxuriantly, and they returned to the refurbished land. Jiang Xingchen scraped away the wet soil with his bare hands, as if he was rummaging for something. Seeing this, Qin Ling also used his sword to help dig.Yu Zhesheng stood aside, wandering between stretching out his hand and not stretching out his hand, struggling for a while, finally joined the ranks.

After digging to a depth of two feet, there was still nothing. The land had only been refurbished.No matter how the fire burns, nothing but ashes remains.

Jiang Xingchen wanted to ask the people nearby about the meteorite, but after staying for half a day, he found no one was there.The three walked to the river, washed their hands, looked up and suddenly saw a man on a ferry.

Yu Zhesheng waved his hand to signal the boatman to come over, but the boatman clearly saw them and heard Yu Zhesheng's shout, but he couldn't come.The boat rowed farther and farther, and was almost invisible.Yu Zhesheng muttered, "The boatman must have done it on purpose."

Jiang Xingchen thought he should go to the county seat to inquire. It was already night when they arrived in the county seat.At dawn, she was locked in the prison again, and came here directly as soon as she came out.

Qin Ling said: "I made some inquiries the day before yesterday and asked some common people. They didn't know about the falling meteorite."

Jiang Xingchen's heart skipped a beat. She didn't tell Qin Ling that she was here to investigate the meteorite.She also remembered that Qin Ling knew which inn she was staying in as soon as she arrived.

Jiang Xingchen said solemnly: "How did brother know that I came to investigate the meteorite?"

Qin Ling frowned and said, "That person told me."

When Xiao Huang sent someone to inform Xiao Jingyin, he only told Jiang Xingchen to go to Guning County to buy some things for him first, but did not tell him what to do.Xiao Jingyin was also worried about Jiang Xingchen going so far south of the Yangtze River, so she told Qin Ling again.

Jiang Xingchen asked again: "Do you know who he is and what he looks like?"

Qin Ling thought about it for a while and said, "It's a woman, and she looks like a maid in someone's house."

Just when Jiang Xingchen was still asking who informed Qin Ling of their whereabouts, the boatman who had just left them rowed over and swung to the shore where they were standing.

There were two more people on board, two women to be exact.

One master and one servant.

The woman has a good figure, wearing a white hat, and the hanging gauze scarf covers her face, making it impossible to see her true face clearly.The red clothes all over the body are particularly eye-catching between the green grass and the river.

Qin Ling stared at the maid standing beside the woman, and whispered to Jiang Xingchen, "The maid next to her."

Hearing this, Jiang Xingchen focused his gaze on the maidservant next to the woman. After looking at it for a moment, he also knew that Qin Ling was telling her that it was the maidservant who informed Qin Ling of her whereabouts.

It was this woman who instigated her.

The author has something to say:

Jinjiang scanned the yellow for a day, and the author changed it for a day.They all cried.

A mysterious woman: "Give me a nice name."

Author: "My brain is not working well, I'm still thinking about it."
