Chapter 524: Having eyes but not seeing Mount Tai
While she was sleeping soundly, suddenly, the sound of fighting woke her up.
Startled, she turned over and sat up.
Chu Cong was also awakened. When she opened her eyes, she saw her master getting dressed. She hurriedly pulled a handful of Nuan Yu and said, "Nuan Yu, get up quickly. There's something going on."
When Nuanyu woke up, Xia Zihan had already jumped out of the window. She gave an order, "You guys stay in the house, I'll go out and take a look."
There are still 400,000 taels of silver notes in the house.
Chu Cong and Nuanyu looked at each other and quickly got dressed, but did not dare to step out of the house.
Xia Zihan's figure landed lightly on the street, then flew towards the men in black who were fighting hard to distinguish themselves.
"Who are you and why are you meddling in other people's business?" A fierce male voice scolded the other party.
"Bah... who is meddling in other people's business? Why are you sneaking up to the roof of my master's room when you are not sleeping well at home in the middle of the night?"
This crisp voice belonged to Chu Lin, who was wearing night clothes.
While beating her, Chu Lin scolded the other person, "Don't tell me that you were sitting on the roof blowing the wind. This is just a lie, and even the ghosts won't believe it."
"We were just passing through."
As soon as the man finished speaking, Chu Lin spat at him, "Bah, who can believe it? You lifted a piece of that tile, and you just passed by if you said you were passing by? Who of the people passing by would lift the tiles on the roof? Where are you trying to coax a fool?”
Then, in an angry voice, "You Yaya, how dare you treat me as a fool."
Chu Lin got angry and danced with a long sword in her hand that was as agile as the wind, forcing the opponent to retreat step by step.
There were only two opponents, Chu Lin was fighting against one, and Chu Fei was fighting against another with an expressionless face.
The martial arts of those two people were not weak. As Chu Lin and Chu Fei pressed forward step by step, although they were a little confused, they did not succeed.
The man in black who was talking to Chu Lin saw that Chu Lin was anxious, so he became anxious too, "Damn woman, we are really just passing by. I'm warning you, if you push me too hard, I'm going to kill someone."< br>
"Bah, who are you? My father is dead a long time ago." Chu Lin stabbed his chest with a menacing sword. The man was startled and hurriedly raised his sword to resist.
A bang...
His broadsword bounced off someone unknown, making his wrist numb. Without holding it in his hand, the broadsword fell to the ground.
Chu Lin's sword had already reached him and pierced his chest.
The man groaned, blood pouring from his chest.
The man saw that the situation was not good. When Chu Lin drew out his sword and wanted to stab her again, he turned around and tried to escape.
Suddenly, a woman in white fell from the sky, and struck his front with a fierce palm wind.
The man in black was shocked and took five or six steps back, avoiding Xia Zihan's palm. But before he could breathe a sigh of relief, Chu Lin stabbed him in the back again. This stab was fierce and cruel. , completely piercing his heart.
When the man died, he could not close his eyes and couldn't believe that the mission tonight had failed and he died at the hands of Xia Zihan's master and servant.
The other man, seeing his companion dead, became anxious.
He stepped back step by step and retreated into a small alley. Suddenly, he turned around and ran away.
Chu Fei wanted to chase her without saying a word...Chu Lin grabbed her and said, "I'll go..."
Chu Lin's Qinggong is better than Chu Fei's, and her tracking skills are also the best. She is the best candidate to track that person.
Chu Lin gave chase, and Chu Fei walked over, squatted down, and searched the body. Nothing was found, only a weapon.
"This kind of knife is used by guards of ordinary wealthy families. It is very common. There is no mark on it. Even if we use it to investigate, we may not be able to find anything." Xia Zihan said.
Chu Fei was about to take off the man's clothes and take a closer look. Suddenly, Xia Zihan's expression changed, "Someone is coming, let's leave quickly."
Like big birds, the two of them disappeared in a few leaps.
It turned out that when Chu Lin and the others were fighting, they alerted the watchman. When the man heard the sound of sword fighting, he turned pale and went to report to the official.
No, the official came in a hurry.
Except for a large knife and a corpse, there was no one else at the scene.
The officers immediately searched for the murderer.
The fight had been going on in the street for so long, and there were many people around who were awakened. But they were just afraid of getting into trouble, so they hid in their houses and didn't dare to come out.
At this moment, seeing the officers and soldiers knocking on the door everywhere, searching for the murderer, everyone panicked and couldn't hide even if they wanted to, so they all put on their clothes and opened the door.
When Chu Fei returned to the room, he quickly changed out of his black clothes, stuffed the clothes into his bag, and lay down on the bed.
Soon, there was movement outside, noisy voices, and faint light from the fire.
Chu Cong stood up, glanced out the window, and said, "Master, we are officers and soldiers."
"Don't worry about the outside, let's sleep." Xia Zihan said.
Fortunately, when they came back, they went around to the roof and climbed in through the window. No one else was disturbed and no one saw them.
Chu Cang saw her master lying down, and she also lay undressed next to Nuanyu, but she didn't dare to sleep, and looked at the roof with wide eyes. After a cup of tea, there was a knock on the door.
Dong Dong Dong...
"Sir..." is the voice of the shopkeeper, "Sir, wake up, open the door..."
"Ah, what's the matter? It's midnight and you can't let anyone sleep." Chu Xang covered his mouth, pretended to yawn, and mumbled impatiently.
"Open the door and let the officers investigate the case. If you delay my investigation, I will arrest you all."
Outside the door, there was another louder knock on the door.
This made Chu Cong angry. When she saw that Xia Zihan and Nuan Yu had gotten up and put on their coats, she went to open the door and angrily shouted to the people outside, "Uncle, whose uncle are you?"< br>
"I also told you that if you disturb my princess's sleep, even if you have ten heads, you won't be able to chop her off."
Originally, Xia Zihan came to Huaihe City to purchase property, and since it was such a large property, she had no intention of hiding her identity.
She planned to reveal her identity during the transfer of ownership, so that people in the government office would not look down on others and cause trouble for her.
Now, the manor shop cannot be purchased, and there is a murder case outside. In order not to be involved, Chu Cong revealed his identity on Xia Zihan's hint.
"Princess, bah, if you were the princess, I would be the emperor's father."
The official was fierce and fierce. Seeing that there were only three little girls in the room, his expression became even more arrogant. His disgusting and lewd eyes were unscrupulously fixed on their faces and bodies, and they looked at each other unabashedly. .
How dare you stare at them with such eyes.
Hum...
"Looking for death." Xia Zihan's face darkened, he was cold and proud, as cold as ice, "Slap your mouth on this princess."
Only when Xia Zihan got angry would he reveal his identity as the princess.
Chu Cong said yes, and then he flashed in front of the official. Before the official could react, he was slapped a dozen times.
Chu Cong struck quickly and moved even faster. In just a blink of an eye, he slapped the official ten times, even his mouth was crooked. This sharp style suppressed the dozen or so official officials behind him.
Xia Zihan stared at the official who covered his mouth and did not dare to cry out in pain, and sneered, "You are brave enough to say that you are the emperor's father in front of this princess."
Then, he told Chu Cang, "Take my post to the government office and ask the county magistrate of Huaihe City to come. I want to see if he has a group of emperors and his father under his command. Will the county magistrate show off?" It’s bigger than this princess.”
"As you command, Princess."
Chu Cong bowed respectfully, pulled out a post from his bag, then walked out, grabbed a younger official and ordered him, "Lead the way for me."
"Yes yes yes..."
The official's face turned pale with fright, and his eyes secretly glanced at the post in Chu Cang's hand.
Seeing that the post was shining with gold, it also had the word "zi" written on it. It seemed that there was a character for jade, so he only knew this character. He didn't know the other characters, but...he didn't know the other princesses of Dasheng, he was the only one who knew There really is a jade character in the name of the princess.
The name of Princess Chu Yu was as loud as thunder, and he often heard about her deeds.
The little official's heart skipped a beat, and his face suddenly turned as bitter as a bitter gourd. It's over, it's not really Princess Chuyu who's here, right?
But why didn't their county master get the news?
Didn't the princess put up a guard of honor when she came in and out? Why didn't the government get the news when the princess entered the city with a guard of honor?
After Chu Cong left, a group of officials and shopkeepers woke up in confusion.
The shopkeeper knelt down and kowtowed to Xia Zihan, "Young man has eyesight but cannot see Mount Tai. He didn't know that the princess was coming and disturbed her. You really deserve to die."
He deserves death, but what about these officials who stained the princess's eyes? Wouldn't that mean they would die countless times?
The officials were frightened, and they all knelt down with a plop, "My lord, please spare my life. I don't even know that the princess is here. If I knew, I wouldn't dare to come and knock on the princess even if I had a hundred courages." The door of the Lord.”
The official who was beaten kowtowed particularly loudly, "Princess, you have a lot of money, please spare the little one. The little one has an eighty-year-old mother and a three-year-old child below. I still have to wait for the little one to be fed." , Princess, please show mercy and let me go. I will never dare to do it again next time..."
Then, there was a lot of crying.
Xia Zihan cried and had a headache.
Next door, Chu Fei, the second housekeeper, the head of the farm, the servants, and the guests staying in the inn all rushed over.
Chu Fei angrily kicked the official, "Your mother is dead, or your father is dead. You are crying so sadly. You are crying in mourning."
Then he scolded, "Don't shut up. What are you talking about like a grown man crying?"
The officer choked, and the long wail was held in his throat. It could not go up or down, and he almost suffocated to death.
The farm head and the second housekeeper looked at Xia Zihan worriedly.
One asked, "Princess, are you okay?"
Another asked, "Princess, have these people hurt you?"
"I'm fine, I was just sleeping soundly. I was woken up by someone, and my head hurts." Xia Zihan rubbed his forehead.
