019 Murder on horseback

The bright moonlight was covered with high branches and leaves. Chen Biyue could only grop in the forest with the faint light of the fire broker and suddenly sneeze. Maybe the mountain wind was too cold, so she had to leave quickly.

Fortunately, she left blood on the grass just now in order to attract those people to come, and just use a fire stick to follow the blood stains, she could return according to the same route.

She quickly found the broken woods and groped in the direction the man in black was looking for in memory. After about an hour, she finally saw the wide dirt road.

The road was like her when she left the road, with the ragged carriage and corpses everywhere. It seemed very cunning at night, but she felt very friendly. She was more willing to face these corpses than lost in the dark woods.

But it was impossible to stay here for a long time. Chen Biyue climbed into the carriage and searched for the clearance documents and road guides that had been prepared in advance. Then she turned off the fire note and went forward to find the horse that she had kicked away before. The horse stopped by the dirt road to eat grass, and the saddle was still on her back.

Now that Mao'an Township cannot go back, she is afraid that the people in the main house will not give up, so she also left the third and fourth batch of people to ambush her. Going to Donghui to wait for Wu Zheng is the best choice, not to mention that there are more important things for her trip to Donghui Township in person.

Donghui Township is only one hour away from Anhui Mountain. If you ride a horse, it will be faster. Shen Biyue rides a horse and walks. In less than an hour, you can already see the stone tablets of Donghui Township from a distance.

She pulled the reins and slowed down. The horse that had galloped all night was a little tired. She walked slowly across the stone tablet and soon saw the densely arranged houses and long streets in the distance.

The sky was a little gray, and it was the fifth day of the day. The villagers decided to travel outside. Chen Biyue was thinking about the embarrassment that was already noticeable, so she should be low-key, so she found a hidden place nearby, tied up horses, there were streams and grass, and she was not afraid of being hungry.

The stream was clear. She squatted by the stream, tidied up her clothes on the clear water surface, held the stream and wiped her cheeks lightly, then took out a black and gray gauze from her arms and covered it on her face. She did not intend to reveal her true face when she came to Donghui Township this time, but she was ready for it.

There is a yamen room where you enter the village. The thick curtain covers half of the door, revealing a wooden plank and two gatekeepers sitting behind them.

It was their turn to be on duty today, but the weather was cold in early spring, and it was early morning again. Even though he was wrapped in a thick cotton jacket, he could not resist the biting cold wind blowing in from the outside, so he had to carry two basins of charcoal fires to roast at his feet.

Chen Biyue entered the inner room and did not say hello, but only took out the ID document and Lu Yin on the case in front of them.

The gatekeeper raised his head and saw the person who came covered his face with black veil, his eyebrows were so charming, but he was filled with cold and cold light, which was far more intimidating than the cold wind outside. Such a woman is definitely not an ordinary person. Fortunately, they have been sticking to the village for many years and are often seen. Although they are slightly shocked at the moment, they feel so disrespectful, which is harmful to the authority of the official, so they sank their faces to ask questions.

With a "clang", two pieces of silver fell from the palm of Subai's palm, and the woman with black veil curled her eyes slightly, "I'd like to ask the official to be more comfortable."

The water eyes seemed to be spreading red clouds thousands of miles away, and the waves in the middle of the lake were rippling. The gatekeeper was stunned. Then he smiled and took away the broken silver. He didn't look at her true face, nor did he look at the documents and road signs, so he let her go.

Chen Biyue received the document and Lu Yin in her arms and thanked her. The two officials watched her disappear quickly behind the curtains of the yamen room. She had a thin waist as bright as willows, her figure was like bamboo, and the horns of the black skirt swayed like flying butterflies spreading their wings.

The two of them reluctantly withdrew their eyes and lamented that they had not seen such an elegant and elegant woman in the country for a long time, except for the elegant and unique Chaoxian Pavilion.

The sky is slightly dewy and fish are white. There are already people walking in the streets. The vendors are busy fiddling stalls. The shops are already open. Everyone is busy with their own affairs, and not many people pay attention to her.

Although Donghui Township and Mao'an Township are under the jurisdiction of Jiufang County, Donghui Township is still more prosperous. This township opened a Chaoxian Pavilion a few years ago, which attracted many famous officials from all over the country, including small foreign countries, which led to the prosperity and prosperity of the entire town.

There are more people from the foreign lands coming and going every year in the countryside, and there are also all kinds of weird dresses, so no one pays attention to those who dress like Chen Biyue.

Chen Biyue looked at the common people on the street who were busy with her own affairs, and felt a little envious. If she had not been born in the Shen family, the things in her previous life would not have happened. Her life experience was always unselectable. She could only look at the road ahead. Whether she was life or death depends on how she decided.

The sky gradually became brighter. It was February. The morning wind was a little cool. Her body was not as good as her previous life practices. She threw her only coat that could keep the cold on Anhui Mountain. In addition, she rode a horse all night and was already full of cold air. But she could bear it. If she hadn't had her lips a little white, she wouldn't have seen any trace of being frozen.

While there were not many people on the street, she found a ready-to-wear shop and bought a coat to protect the cold, and planned to find an ordinary inn to wait for Wu Zheng.

As soon as he stepped out of the ready-to-wear shop, suddenly the neighing sound of a horse came from a distance, and a sound of horse hooves ran towards him quickly. Chen Biyue raised her eyes and saw two men waving their whips and riding their horses.

Although there were not many people on the street, there were many vendors. The two men had no intention of dodging at all. They knocked over many stalls. The man riding in front looked arrogant. Seeing that the stall blocked his way, he cursed and whipped the vendor hard on the falling one.

Passers-by on the street saw this and gave way to him in panic. The two laughed wildly and soon disappeared at the other end of the long street.

The vendor covered his whipped shoulders and took a breath in pain, and someone went to help him.

"Su San, you stupid, why don't you know how to dodge when you see Mr. Deng?"

"Playing a madman in the street! He is nothing! But relying on County Magistrate Zhang..." The vendor looked at the stall car that he was knocked over and was a little angry, but he was quickly covered by someone's mouth.

"You also know that the Deng family has the support of the county magistrate, so why don't you shut up quickly! Do you know the Guo family at the intersection of the West Street?"

"But the Guo family, whose wife is seriously ill?"

"It's that family. It is said that in order to treat his wife, Guo Changmu studied and cultivated herbs day and night on the mountain outside the village. He finally got it done. However, he would have bumped into the Deng family's slave on the way back. He was arrested in one go. There was no news yet, so he was afraid that his life would be in danger."

Although the two of them lowered their voices, Chen Biyue could hear it clearly and the steps that were about to leave stopped.

The two of them didn't notice that someone was standing behind them eavesdropping, and just continued to say.

"How can we catch people indiscriminately!"

"It is because even the slaves of the Deng family who are so domineering that I let you speak carefully, otherwise you will end up like Guo Changmu."

"Then Guo Changmuzhen is dead?"

"I heard from my relatives who worked in the Deng family that the Deng family asked Guo Changmu to plant herbs for them, and even threatened his wife's life. Guo Changmu was reluctant and was beaten to death. He asked me to tell me that if I enter the Deng family, I will not come out again, and the Guo family's wife will have to wait for the rest of her life."

Seeing that the vendor was a little scared, the man stopped talking and just shook his head and left.

The gossiping dispersed, Chen Biyue was still standing there, her eyes flashing with inexplicable light, and her red lips curled slightly under the veil. She was visiting Donghui Township, one was waiting for Wu Zheng, and the other was to see the shop. She did not want to achieve her goal, but unexpectedly heard these interesting stories.
