Vaguely visible in the crowd are people dressed in linen clothes, who are as fast as ordinary people, but with shiny long knives in their hands. The people panicked and ran around, making the crowd even more crowded. The sound of children crying, people tripping and swearing, and the sound of killers cutting their skin with knives can be heard all the time.

"My God!" Tong'er's face turned blue: "someone killed!"

"Don't be afraid," said Jiang Li calmly, "the city garrison is nearby. When you hear something, you will come immediately." As soon as the words fell, their own carriage stopped abruptly, and at the same time, the coachman screamed.

Tong'er trembled with fear, but he still stretched out his hand to protect Jiang Li behind him. Bai Xue said, "girl, we can't stay in the carriage. The carriage in the house is too conspicuous. Let's avoid..."

The curtain of the carriage was suddenly lifted, and a strange middle-aged man suddenly appeared in front of him. With fierce eyes, he climbed onto the carriage with a machete in his hand and an arrow step. Tong'er screamed, pushed Jiang Li out of the carriage and greeted him. The knife waved at once. Jiang Li only saw tong'er's arm move forward, and a line of blood blurred her eyes. Snow White was tall, blocking the door and said, "girl, run first! Go and hide next to me!"

The man's eyes flashed. When Jiang Li looked at the machete man, Jiang Li suddenly understood that this person was coming for her! She glanced at Bai Xue and tong'er, who were still in the carriage. As expected, the man left Bai Xue and tong'er and came to his side. Jiang Li gritted her teeth and turned to run into the crowd.

The crowd was full of ghosts crying and wolves howling, and the ground was full of blood that was trampled in a mess, which was like hell on earth.

The city garrison arrived soon, but at the moment of a column of incense, those people immediately lost their machetes and quickly got away. Because they were wearing ordinary people's clothes, it was difficult to distinguish clearly. At the moment, there were people everywhere. For a while, these city garrison had nothing to do with them and watched them disappear in the crowd. It's easy to catch a man who is committing murder. Just subdue him. Before he can escort him for interrogation, the man suddenly clenched his teeth, spilled a trace of blood from the corner of his mouth, and slowly fell down without breath.

It was the dead man who hid poison in his teeth. Once caught, he would bite the wax pill and kill himself. No one could tell their truth.

"What's going on?" The city garrison, led by him, was furious: "no one can be caught! Since these people are dead, how can they hurt ordinary people for no reason!"

The men around him asked, "is it Xirong..."

"Impossible! Xirong people were originally driven to the depths of the desert by general Jin Wu, but now it can't become the climate. How can they come to Yanjing city! And the people also said that it seems that these people are Beiyan people. If Xirong people can see at a glance, how can they easily mix with the crowd!"

"Anyway, my Lord, it's important to appease the people first." Subordinate way.

There were cries everywhere. Those people walked well in the street today, and even the street vendors and idlers drinking tea in the tea house, inexplicably, there was such a group of people chopping and killing in it. In such a short time, I don't know how many lives have been lost. Many people were separated from their relatives in the chaos. A mother with disheveled hair in front of her lost a shoe, but she couldn't care now, crying and shouting her child's name.

Tong'er fell to the side of the carriage. The moment the assassin rushed into the carriage, tong'er blocked the knife waving to Jiang Li with her arm. At this moment, the wound was still bleeding, and Bai Xue pulled off her skirt corner and wrapped it for her. Tong'er has fainted with pain. Bai Xue put tong'er in a safe place for the time being. People from the city garrison were watching around, so that nothing could go wrong. However, she was still thinking about Jiang Li in her heart, and did not know where Jiang Li was now.

The city garrison has stood here, and the uninjured people have immediately gone home, and the injured have also been sent to a nearby hospital. Only those who have lost their loved ones, or have been separated from their loved ones, remain where they are. But there are many fewer people than at first. At least at a glance, it doesn't seem impossible to distinguish who is who.

Snow White looked around as she walked. She didn't dare to shout Jiang Li's name, so she had to say in a high voice, "girl! Girl!"

There are many people similar to her, so her cry is not the most conspicuous. But such a short section of the street, if Jiang Li escapes, it is impossible to leave here, and she will definitely hear the sound of snow. And the carriage of the yuan family is still in place. Although the coachman is dead, Jiang Li will follow the sound as long as she sees the carriage.

But... No, there is no answer from Jiang Li.

Snow White didn't give up, and called again and again. These days, there were almost no people except the families of those who died. Even those who are separated from their relatives have found their relatives. The appearance of snow white attracted the attention of the officers and soldiers. A little guard asked Snow White, "girl, who are you looking for?"

"My miss..." Bai Xue said anxiously, "she... She was just in the crowd, and we were separated. Brother, can you help me find it?"

The little officer and soldier said, "this street has been searched all over, and all the missing people have been found. Do you mean that your miss hasn't been found yet? Your miss is..."

"Searched all over?" Snow White's heart was cold, and she couldn't help taking two steps back.

……

Early in the morning, ye Mingyu began to make the kitchen ladies in the house busy.

Since yesterday, buyers have been wondering what good dishes to cook today. Every time Jiang Li comes, ye Mingyu always wants to find the best thing he can bring to Jiang Li. Although there are no women in Ye's house, the cook still needs one. The desire to eat is a major event in life. Moreover, their family taught him to take good care of his nephew's food and clothing when he came to Yanjing City, didn't they?

And their family is rich in silver.

The table has already been filled with a wide range of meals. I don't know, I thought which old man had such a bumper harvest. Ye Shijie also returned to the mansion, and Haitang helped Xue Huaiyuan out.

Ye Shijie asked, "hasn't Jiang Li come yet?"

Ah Shun shook his head: "the other end of the gatehouse is guarding, and there is no movement."

"Strange," Ye Mingyu said, "ah Li is the most punctual girl on weekdays. She's afraid we'll wait for her. Why did we delay so long today? If we wait any longer, the food will be cold."

"Can't something happen?" Ye Shijie frowned.

"Bah, bah, bah," Ye Mingyu knocked him on the head. "Did you say that about your cousin? Besides, where is this, Yanjing city? At the foot of the emperor, your cousin is the eldest daughter of the yuan family. What else can happen? In the daytime, can you be abducted and run away?"

"There are also bandits in Yanjing city." Begonia couldn't help saying.

"What kind of bandit, our family is the biggest bandit. Who dares to bandit us? This is not teaching others how to do things? Who dares to bandit us, that is, Taisui will make trouble on his head. My brother ye Laosan gives an order, and all the brothers in the Jianghu can help me..."

"OK, OK," YeShiJie couldn't listen, interrupted his words and asked, "why don't you find someone to go to Jiang's house and ask if Jiang Li is delayed and can't come?"

Ye Mingyu felt nervous when he heard the words. "It's possible that ah Li was bullied again in the yuan family because of the mess in the yuan family. I'm not at ease if I go to have a look."

After he finished saying this, Ah Shun, squatting at the door, suddenly returned and said, "master, there are people from the yuan family!"

He said "Jiang family" instead of "Miss Jiang Er". Several people at the table were stunned, which means that Jiang pear fruit really can't come. Is there something wrong?

A Shun took the young man of the yuan family into the house. The young man also seemed to be rushing in a hurry. There was dust on his clothes. It seemed that he fell down on the road and his face was sweating. As soon as he saw someone, he said, "Lord Ye San, our young lady has an accident, is she coming?"

"Something happened?" Several people in the room were startled, and Xue Huaiyuan frowned.

"What happened?" Ye Mingyu said gruffly, "Jiang Yuanbai bullied her again?"

Ye Mingyu is a Jianghu person in the end. When he faces Jiang Li, he smiles. When he faces others, his banditry will be revealed layer by layer. The scar on his face also makes people afraid.

The boy shook his head repeatedly: "no, No. It's the second young lady who came to Ye's house by carriage this morning. On the way, she encountered a bandit murder. In the chaos, the young lady was lost and can't be found now. The master is crazy at the moment and is looking for officers and soldiers to search the whole Yanjing city!"

"What!" Ye Shijie also stood up.

"What bandit murders?" Xue Huaiyuan asked.

The boy said, "I'm not sure. I heard that half an hour ago, on the road not far from here, a group of people suddenly appeared. Those people dressed in ordinary people's clothes mixed in the crowd, shouting and killing, killing more than a dozen people. It's easy to catch a Murderer and swallow poison. I heard that those people are dead, but I don't know what they are doing."

Xue Huaiyuan asked again, "how many people are missing like Miss Jiang?"

The boy's face was very ugly: "only our young lady."

As soon as this word came out, several people in the room looked different. Ye Mingyu pulled out a knife from his waist in a hurry and scolded, "damn! Ah Li, this girl can't have been kidnapped!"

"Not good." The speaker was Xue Huaiyuan. Several people in the room looked at him, Xue Huaiyuan said in a deep voice: "These people are dead men and must have come for a purpose. But people say that they just hurt ordinary people. If they want to disturb people's hearts, they can wear more frightening clothes, cause more casualties, and then kill themselves. But they want to mix with ordinary people, so it can be seen that they are in order to escape. It shows that they are still in order to achieve their goal. From beginning to end, only Miss Jiang is missing, which shows that their goal is Miss Jiang, and they are Come for Miss Jiang. The dozen dead people were just a pretext for sacrificing to abduct Miss Jiang. "

Xue Huaiyuan's voice is very gentle and slow, but his words are frightening. Ye Mingyu frowned and said, "isn't it? Ah Li is Jiang Yuanbai's daughter. Who dares to deliberately confront Jiang Yuanbai in Yanjing city?"

Ye Shijie said, "what Mr. Xue said is right."

"Is Miss Jiang really in danger? Who did it?" Begonia couldn't help asking.

"In Yanjing City, few people dare to fight the yuan family. In fact, it's easy to guess that nine times out of ten, either Princess Liu or King Cheng. Of course, there may be right phase, but right phase has no reason to target a girl named Jiang Li, so Princess Liu and King Cheng are the most suspected." Ye Shijie said.

Xue Huaiyuan nodded, "not bad."

"King Cheng and Princess Liu? What evidence can you directly settle accounts with them?" Ye Mingyu couldn't wait to say.

"This is just our guess, master Ye." Xue Huaiyuan said, "the most important thing now is to find the whereabouts of Miss Jiang, not revenge. The Jiang family has great influence in Yanjing city. In order to ensure safety, they will find a way to send Miss Jiang out of the city. I think we should carefully interrogate passers-by at the city gate."

Ye Mingyu carried the knife on his back: "I'll call my brothers over!"

"I'll go out and have a look." Ye Shijie said, "I also know several people over there. I'll talk to them. Mr. Xue, please stay in the house. Once you get any news, please also ask Mr. Xue to sit down." Ye Shijie explained.

"OK." Xue Huaiyuan replied, "please be careful."
