Chapter 9

Can't escape

——————————————

......

Ximen Bao stood by the river and said nothing. He seemed to have expected that 6 Ankang would escape, so he focused only on the three corpses.

There was not even a word of saying that he ordered the pursuit of 6 Ankang.

Soon, the personal soldiers carefully checked the body and replied:

"Sir! The body is indeed poisonous! It's poisoned to the bone marrow. It should have been taken before death!"

Have you taken poison before you die?

Ximen Bao pondered and according to the inspection, the poison was highly toxic, and the effect time was only a few breaths, but when the three elders were thrown into the river, they were still struggling. When would they take the poison?

It seems that something has come to mind again?

Ximen Bao's face changed: "Is it..."

Seeing this, the chief soldier hurriedly asked, "What did you think of?"

Ximen Bao asked, "Who was throwing the three elders into the river at that time?"

The personal soldiers replied: "Are we the few?"

These people in front of him were all personal soldiers selected by Wei Wenhou himself, and they were all loyal and considered Ximen Bao’s confidants.

So, it shouldn't be them!

The chief of the personal soldiers recalled and thought of it instantly: "No! Before us, it was the people from the government office who detained the three elders. It was in chaos at that time. Is they taking the opportunity to do something?... I don't know."

"Go back immediately! Take everyone in the government office to the hall for questioning!"

Ximen Bao made a quick decision and turned back to the government office with six personal soldiers.

He should have noticed that even 6 Ankang had reminded him: "You are in danger yourself, and you still don't know that you still have the heart to worry about other people's affairs?"

Everyone rushed back to the government office.

And the government office has long been empty, which once again proves the danger mentioned by Ankang.

"Those yamen runners are gone..."

Faced with such a situation, even Ximen Bao, who had always been calm, could not help but feel a little panicked. He didn't even dare to think that if these people had done something to him before... I'm afraid he wouldn't even know how he died!

I'm afraid it's an inevitable feeling at this moment.

......

Almost at the same time, the courtier who learned that 6 Ankang was missing was furious:

"Is he missing again? Can you all lose someone alive? And Ximen Bao also showed us the spy we placed in the government office?"

He angrily scolded the Qingyi swordsman and other subordinates.

The swordsman in green said, "Sir, I saw that Lord Junhou was tied to the Zhanghe River by Ximen Bao. I guess the fate should be like the three elders and witches to feed the fish to Chenhe... After all, it is not surprising that Lord Ximen Bao knew that the government office was actually our spy, so it is not surprising that he did such a thing!"

"indeed......"

Tingsen murmured: "If that kid had not disclosed his identity, Ximen Bao would really do this, that cruel guy! Didn't that lord bring his subordinates? Why didn't he do it?"

"According to the observation of subordinates, there has never been any other subordinates around that lord..."

The swordsman in Qingyi said, "Maybe the opponent's strength is too high, so his subordinates are incompetent and unable to see him!"

The Tingshu no longer communicated with Qingyi Swordsmen and others, and hurriedly left and went to the backyard.

Ding Yanyu, a family next to the Qingyi Swordsman, said: "Master's sexual addiction is coming again?"

The Qingyi swordsman immediately scolded the clerk for his verbal talk, but his eyes couldn't help but look in the direction where the courtier left, and pondered for a long time.

In the backyard.

A spring scenery, accompanied by a short "applause".

The Tingsman left a concubine's room and headed all the way to the backyard.

A figure quietly slipped in along the unclosed door. The figure first hid in the corner of the wall and observed the movements on the bed. He only saw the concubine lying there in a drowsy manner without clothes.

After confirming that she could not wake up for the time being, the figure just walked out of the corner, which was Liu Ankang who had slipped away from the Zhang River. I am afraid no one would have expected that he would slip back to Tingchen's house again, and in broad daylight. He walked gently near the bed and observed the unconscious woman on the bed. Although she still had a breath, her lips were white and her whole face was not bloody. If it weren't for the faint breath, it would be no different from a dead body?

6 Ankang frowned, finally lifted the quilt, and saw a touch of black liquid, immediately understood: "So that's the case..."

With the arrival of night.

6 Ankang has been hiding under the concubine's bed. According to him, he inferred that Ting-chan would not come again in a short time, because if he came again, the woman would die on the spot. It was not until the quiet night that 6 Ankang had just come out from under the bed. One hand suddenly grabbed his sleeve and turned his head to see that it was the pale concubine who looked at 6 Ankang begging: "Save... save... me..."

The faint sound revealed signs of life withering.

6 Ankang squatted down and told her: "You're okay, I'll call someone in later... You ask her to prepare some medicinal herbs for you, and after drinking it, it's fine!"

The premise of forensics is medical treatment!

Traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine are all doctors!

This is what 6 Ankang’s father taught, and it is also what 6 Ankang learned over the years.

Even though he didn't like these, under the stimulation, these things were still remembered in his mind and could not be removed.

6 When Ankang left the room, it was already late at night.

He deliberately made some noise in front of the door, and soon a servant went to the concubine's room. The prescription left by Ankang can indeed relieve the woman's pain, but her life span has been reduced. Ankang is powerless in this matter. There are three other singers and the wife of the court clerk.

Overnight, all five women were facing signs of their lives being in danger.

What exactly happened to them?

And in this patriarchal society, who would care about them?

6 All Ankang can do is just a little bit of power.

For several days, he had been lurking at Tingyeon's house, but since that night, Tingyeon and the Qingyi Swordsman and others disappeared and never returned home again. Soon, Ximen Bao came to the door and saved the five women. Their lives were temporarily saved, but what about their future destiny?

......

After settling down the five women, facing the empty Tingguan House, Ximen Bao waited for his personal soldiers to reply:

"There are no one!"

A personal soldier said, "Sir, will you collude with the people in the government office and escape together?"

Ximen Bao shook his head: "The courtier is greedy for money. He has managed such a large force in Yedi, and even the government office is his. Do you think he will throw these away easily?"

The personal military commander is a well-informed person. He said worriedly: "I'm afraid that it will be detrimental to the adults when they hide in the dark!"

Just when Ximen Bao was about to take people back to the government office, when he walked to the door of Tinghun's house, he happened to encounter Tinghun's return with a group of people.

The court clerk saw Ximen Bao from afar, hurriedly bowed, his face pressed against the ground, and ran to Ximen Bao, saying, "Sir, forgive me! The official did not know that the Lord has come to visit, and he has been welcomed by mistake. Please forgive me!"

"Where is Lord Ting Cheng going? He mobilized so many people?"

Ximen Bao looked at Tingye, followed by Qingyi Swordsmen and others. When his eyes swam past those people, his eyes stagnated: "That's..."

"Sir, this person is a spy who was placed in the government office by the three elders. After being exposed by the Xiaguan, he fled. The Xiaguan led his subordinates to chase him all the way and finally chased him back!"

The court clerk pointed out to the head of the government office before. At this moment, he was tied to the swordsman in blue with blood on his face, and then he was taken to Ximen Bao.

Ximen Bao was about to ask his personal soldiers to take him back, but he didn't expect that the yamen runner broke free from his shackles and rushed towards Ximen Bao frantically...

The personal soldier instantly drew out the long sword, and the sword slashed the void and stabbed the head of the yamen runner's chest. The next moment, the yamen runner's head suddenly opened his mouth, and a stream of black blood was spit out, and it directly sprayed on the face of the personal soldier.

The moment the face touched the black blood, it rotted at an extremely fast rate, and in the smoke, in an instant—

The personal commander and the yamen runner fell in front of Ximen Bao together.
