sinking into sand

The sun was gradually rising, but the streets and alleys of Pingchunfang were still in chaos.

People died in the main street last night, and the soldiers of the housekeepers fought in a melee, and there were also refugees who didn't know where they came from. It didn't stop until dawn when Jinzhan Pavilion sent people to suppress the field.

When Xiang Feibai and his party arrived, the people in Jinzhan Pavilion had already asked the prostitutes to wait in their yards. Although there were broken lanterns and wine vats everywhere on the street, there were no idlers.

When some disciples saw Xiang Feibai, they came over to salute, and whispered their words.

The surviving families have already sent people back to their respective mansions.The rest in Pingchunfang were all killed.Relatives came to look for them, but they only blocked them from entering.Due to the large number of refugees, some were driven to Zilufang, and some did not know where they went.In addition, Li Qihua's body was also sent back to Prince Li's residence.

As for the murderer, he has not been caught yet.

They were talking here, but Song Fushun, who came along with him, opened his mouth to provoke first: "Guan Xiang, let's do the business first, and it's not too late to talk about the rest later."

After he finished speaking, he glanced sideways at Zhai Su and said, "Is that so, General Zhai."

Zhai Su remained silent at the side, but the chill in his eyes and the oppressive feeling around him made it impossible to ignore him.

The disciple who came to report just said a word, but he didn't dare to raise his head again, and stood on the side with his head lowered.

Xiang Feibai smiled bitterly, knowing that there was no way to delay, he whispered to the disciple: "Ask someone to tie up all the girls in this building and take them to Fenghua Terrace."

Hearing this sentence, the disciple thought he was shocked first, and then showed embarrassment, but with someone like Zhai Su on the side, he didn't dare to say anything for a while.

Xiang Feibai saw that his expression was different, and asked, "What's wrong?"

The disciple dared to answer after he got the words: "It's Guanshi like this. This is the main street of Pingchunfang. Although the girls here are not as good as Lu Huasi'en of Peony Academy, the people who come and go are also famous people, not to mention these prostitutes." There are also some forces behind the museum. This...although many of these nobles are dead now, but the relationship is still there, even if it is us, it is hard to tie it up."

Xiang Feibai really thought of this, he rarely came to work in these low-level streets and alleys, and to be honest, he didn't know some ways.

They were delayed here for some time, and then Song Fushun began to press again.

Xiang Feibai was forced by the voice to be irritable and annoyed, but he couldn't resist.I didn't feel it when I agreed in front of Yu Wangling, but now I feel a little humiliation.

"Then go find a prostitute who has no influence." He said, "A prostitute, a woman who is dying of a disease and has no cure, or those prostitutes who are useless, find these people."

After hearing this, the disciple looked at Song Fushun and Zhai Su who were not far away, stopped talking, and took orders to go.

Fenghua Terrace was very lively these two days, and the people in Jinzhan Pavilion moved quickly. After a while, many people were arrested and tied to the street in front of Fenghua Terrace.

These people are not decent, in this bustling main street of Pingchunfang, they are like mud in the ground.Some of them got syphilis and stayed in the dirtiest house waiting to die. Their bodies were rotten and the smell was not good.The disciples who escorted them out were unwilling to get any closer.The ones who came out of the prostitution hall were a bit more respectable, but they were only wearing linen clothes and cheap wooden hairpins, and they still smelled of cheap powder.

Xiang Feibai looked at these people, and the guilt that he had suppressed earlier surged out again.

It's not that he didn't understand Yu Wangling's words, but he couldn't figure out what kind of righteousness he had to step on the blood of such a person to get out.

Call him incompetent or cowardly.At this moment, no matter how much he will be involved in the follow-up, he hopes that Yu Sha can come.

These people were driven to the place, and it was only a cup of tea time.

Song Fushun looked at the sun, walked around in front of Fenghua Terrace, glanced at these people contemptuously, and said loudly: "Yesterday, there was a monster in the workshop, which caused everyone to go wild. Now I suspect that the monster is among you. If you If I confess myself, I will spare your life, otherwise, I will kill one person every half stick of incense."

Not far away, in a small building where you can see the situation on the main street, both Hua Chuibi and Yu Sha have already seen the movement on the main street clearly.

"It's really fresh, but they are threatening people's lives." Hua Chuibi observed the movement over there, commented on Song Fushun's sanctimonious words, and sneered, as who didn't know that this forced Yu Sha to show up is true.

After Hua Cuibi finished her evaluation, she suddenly felt something was wrong, and asked, "Why didn't he do it in the first place?"

"Because it's not necessary." Yu Sha changed his dressing at the side, and answered after listening to his question: "If the Yu family and the court colluded in the Raolanping incident, then Zhai Su's first priority after entering the city is to take down the military power of the Lijiang River. Killed some people who were talking about it, but the relationship between people can't be handed over in a few days. As for arresting people, as long as you keep an eye on the city gate, when you arrest someone is not arresting."

"You understand him, so what should we do now?" Hua Chuibi turned her head to Yu Sha, "Stay hard with them?"

It's not that he is so cold-blooded towards these people who also get along day and night in Pingchunfang, it's just that growing up here, it's hard not to look down on the scene of people's lives being ignored.Compared with the life and death of these people, he was more curious about what Yu Sha was going to do.

Yu Sha didn't answer. After changing his medicine, he put on a black bunt again, and checked the things he brought with him for the last time.Seeing that he didn't speak, Hua Cuibi urged again: "Hey, I want to ask you something, don't you have any ideas?"

"Thinking?" Yu Sha returned, still looking at the things on his wrist: "I was thinking that Yu Wangling might be ill."

After hearing this, Hua Chuibi showed a look of astonishment, "Sick? How can you see this?"

Yu Sha seemed to have finally packed up all the things he was going to prepare, walked to Hua Cuibi's side, and looked at Fenghua Terrace in the distance.

"If he wasn't sick, he wouldn't let Xiang Feibai come here alone."

Hua Chuibi tasted the meaning of his words. He didn't know Xiang Feibai well, so he didn't understand: "Why do you say that."

Yu Sha said, "Don't you think it's strange? After I died, the pavilion was cleaned all over. Yu Wangling knew that Xiang Feibai was soft-hearted towards me, so why did he keep him?"

Hua Chuibi said boldly: "He can't be the one who loves Longyang, and he has unreasonable thoughts about this person, right?"

Yu Sha laughed a little speechlessly, and said: "It's because he has a deep mind. People with deep thoughts often like fools who are affectionate and righteous. These disciples and disciples on and off the Jinzhan Pavilion are not dogs from Yu Duanjiang or the elders' house. , is a villain who can court Qin Muchu for profit. There is only one Xiang Feibai, who has no background and has a simple mind. Not only did he not listen to his instigation, but he also remembered to report to me in advance."

Yu Sha said slowly, with a rather helpless tone: "But people who value affection and righteousness can't do this kind of thing, Yu Wangling won't understand. If he wasn't sick, he wouldn't let Xiang Feibai come here alone."

Hua Chuibi considered the words, thought she understood, and said, "You mean, this person can't kill?"

Yu Sha: "That's not true."

Hua Chuibi: "..."

Hua Chuibi: "Then what do you think is the use of this half day?"

Yu Sha smiled lightly: "It's somewhat useful. For example, if there is a sudden change, he will subconsciously protect the nearest person first compared to the overall situation."

"And." Yu Sha took out a piece of black cloth from his sleeve and put it on for himself: "If there is a chance to solve this matter without killing people, he will choose not to kill people."

The sun walked slowly, and the half-cut incense stick in front of Fenghua Terrace was almost burned out.

Xiang Feibai kept staring at the incense until it burned to the end, and the little bit of fire was gone.It was as if a heart had fallen forever.

Yu Sha, after all, he still didn't come.

"The time has come." Song Fushun also looked at the flames and flicked the non-existing dust on his fingers, urging him: "Guan Xiang, let's kill the first person first."

Xiang Feibai closed his eyes, was speechless for a long time, and finally drew out his saber.

He walked up to one of the women, who was so sick that he didn't even have the strength to beg for mercy.

Xiang Feibai silently said sorry, but finally raised his sword.

The sword light flashed under the sun for a while, and when it was about to stab down, something happened.

Someone shot something with a crossbow in his hand, and that thing shot directly at the street in front of Lanping, and when it touched the ground, a huge powder mist exploded.

The hidden weapon came so suddenly, Xiang Feibai was startled, and subconsciously blocked the people around him with his sword.I didn't expect that as soon as the posture was set, there was another roar in my ear.

"Why are you blocking me?! Where is the general!"

Xiang Feibai was brought back to his senses by the roar, and when he looked back, he found that he was just blocking Song Fushun's path.

Song Fushun was furious when he saw that he was still in a daze, pushed him aside, and rushed towards Zhai Su's location in his memory.

In no time, he was in front of Zhai Su.

At the first glance, he confirmed that Zhai Su was not injured or held hostage, so he felt relieved.But the next moment, he noticed Zhai Su's expression, and suddenly had a premonition in his heart that things had gotten out of control.

The smoke dissipated quickly, and when everyone could see again, Xiang Feibai rushed to Zhai Su's side.

Before he opened his mouth to speak, Zhai Su slowly raised his head. In almost a split second, his eyes were bloodshot, and the veins on his forehead burst out.

"Where is the dark alley?" He asked calmly, his tone full of raging anger.

Xiang Feibai was taken aback by his question, he didn't know why he suddenly had such an attitude.

But when he saw what Zhai Su was holding, he suddenly understood it.

It was a bloody eye.
