Chapter 228

Ye's servants shut up. The disappearance of the master was reported to the official soon. The official came quickly, and was startled when he found that Jiang Li was also here. He gently comforted Jiang Li to go home first. The scene of the massacre was bloody, but Jiang Li didn't have much fear except that she couldn't bear it.

She knew that Jiang Yuanbai would soon know about it and would make her hurry back to the house. Jiang Li was about to say goodbye to situ Jiujiu, who suddenly said, "I'll go back with you."

Jiang Li said, "September girl?"

"Since those people came for you, Zhao Ke is not in Jiang's house now. If the other party wants you to do something, maybe I'm next to you, and you at least have someone to discuss." She added, "now that I am returning to the government, the government has no one and is useless."

Jiang Li knew that situ Jiujiu was worried about Xue Zhao. Besides, situ Jiujiu was carrying a lot of poison, which might be useful. She said, "OK, you go back with me."

Situ Jiujiu followed Jiang Li back to Jiang mansion. Jiang Li said that situ Jiujiu was a servant girl in the government house. She combed her hair well, so she specially asked situ Jiujiu to come to Jiang mansion to comb her hair for two days. Hearing that it was the people of the government, the people of the yuan family didn't ask much. Who dares to take care of Ji Heng's people?

When I learned that the Ye family had an accident, I first called Jiang Li to Wanfeng hall and asked, and then told Jiang Li that Jiang Yuanbai and Jiang Yuanping had intervened in the matter. I told Jiang Li not to worry first. It was good news that no body was found. Jiang Li won't go out these days. Yanjing city is really not peaceful.

Jiang Li thought about the Ye family's affairs and perfunctorily passed by. Finally, returning to Fangfei garden, situ September had already been brought back to the house by snow white to wait. Jiang Li entered the room and closed the door. There were only himself and situ Jiujiu in the room.

Situ September asked anxiously, "how is it?"

This girl always looks like she doesn't care. Jiang Li is the first time to see her so anxious. If it was normal, she would be happy for Xue Zhao in her heart. However, at the moment, she is really not happy, because she is as worried as situ Jiujiu.

Jiang Li shook her head, "don't expect the officers and soldiers to find out anything. Since they dare to do so, they are afraid to come prepared. People can't catch the signs, and the people who can confront Ji Heng are not ordinary people. I just doubt..." she looked at situ Jiujiu, "is the other party from the Yan family?"

"I don't know, I don't know what Ji Heng is going to do, but," situ Jiu answered, "as far as I know, Ji Heng's ultimate enemy is the Yan family. So I think maybe your guess is right."

Jiang Li's heart did not feel relaxed after hearing situ Jiujiu's words. She knew that if the other party was Yin Zhan, it would be more difficult. Yin Zhan is Ji Hong's biggest enemy. If the other party wants to threaten Ji Hong with himself, Ji Hong will be in a very disadvantageous position. But it's impossible to ignore so many lives of the Ye family just for Ji Heng.

"Now we can only wait for the news from the other side." Jiang Li said, "I hope there are other ways."

Situ Jiujiu nodded.

Both of them had a very hard day, which can almost be said to be like a year. Jiang Li kept the whistle in her palm. She even tried to blow it, but there was no response. It can be seen that Ji Heng really left Yanjing city with his confidants. If it's not an important thing, Ji Heng doesn't have to bring so many people. Jiang Li was on pins and needles when she had to worry about Ji Heng and the relatives of the Ye family.

Tong'er and Bai Xue both saw Jiang Li's anxiety and dared not say anything. At night, situ Jiujiu and Jiang Li didn't sleep until late at night, but nothing happened. Vaguely, Jiang Li closed her eyes. But less than a moment after closing her eyes, she heard situ Jiujiu murmur, "who!"

Jiang Li suddenly opened her eyes. The lights on the table had been burned out. The room was dark and nothing could be seen. Situ September opened a fire fold. In the flickering light of the fire, a red headed dart was nailed to the window between them, and a letter was pressed under the dart.

coming! Jiang Li's heart was cold, and situ September followed, holding a round wax pill in his hand, which should be something like poison. She was afraid of fraud around and stared around vigilantly. Jiang Li couldn't wait to open the envelope. Before she could see it, something rolled out of the envelope.

Jiang Li and situ Jiujiu couldn't help looking on the ground, and Jiang Li cried softly.

It was a human finger. Situ September bent down as if nothing had happened to pick up the finger, frowned and looked at it, and said, "do you know a woman's finger?"

Jiang Li resisted the shock and looked at the finger. It was indeed a woman's little finger. At first glance, she was stunned and muttered, "it's the finger of Begonia..."

There are three small red moles on the little finger of Begonia. Because of this, Xue Fangfei also laughed that she was very special. And this bloody finger is still in the same position, and Jiang Li can't admit it wrong.

She calmed down, opened the letter, read it at a glance, and handed the letter to situ Jiujiu.

The letter said, let Jiang Li find a way to get out of the city tonight. After leaving the city, go 20 miles east of the city. There is a village, and someone will meet her at the gate of the village. If Jiang Li doesn't go, he will get the body of Haitang early in the morning, and Xue Zhao's body the next day, and so on, until all the people are killed. Jiang Li never wants to report to the official or take people out of the city to arrest people. There is a eyeliner in Yanjing city. If Jiang Li takes people, the lives of five members of the Ye family can disappear from the world in an instant.

The words on the letter are also bloody, like written in human blood. Through the words on the letter, you can see the madness of the writer.

After reading the letter in September, situ said angrily, "bastard!"

Jiang Li looked at the finger on the table, shaking her eyes. This is a problem for Jiang Li. If she leaves the city, she is bound to become a bargaining chip for the other party to threaten Ji Heng. If she does not leave the city, the other party will be crazy and will only vent her anger on the Ye family.

She gritted her teeth. "I'm going out of town!"

"Ginger pear!" Situ Jiujiu whispered, "this is the other party's trick."

"We have no other way. In September, can you watch Xue Zhao die?"

Situ was speechless in September, and the other party cut off the fingers of Begonia, which was a warning. They believed that if Jiang Li didn't do what the letter said, the other party would definitely kill.

"After all, they were also implicated by me." Jiang Li replied, "I'll find a way to replace them with myself. If they want to use me to coerce Ji Heng, you tell Ji Heng not to care about me and act according to his plan."

"What if they catch you and don't let the Ye family go?"

"I hide wax pills in my mouth. If they can't do it, I will bite the wax pills and commit suicide. I want to threaten Ji Heng. They have to get a living me. Dead me is useless, but it will ignite Ji Heng's anger. They can intimidate me with the Ye family, and I can intimidate them with myself to release the Ye family."

Situ Jiujiu thought, "no, I have to go with you."

Jiang Li said, "September..."

"Don't forget, it's not fun for others to call me poison Ji. Naturally, I have my own way. Wouldn't it be good if I could get out of my body and save the Ye family from catching up with you?"

She looked determined. Jiang Li looked at her for a long time, then nodded and said, "OK. But if there is danger, you remember to run first. Those people want to save my life, but they may not be soft on you." She thought that she might not be able to get out of town tonight without situ Jiujiu's help. The other party told her not to report to the official and not to bring anyone, but it should not be wrong to bring only situ Jiujiu, a woman.

Situ September took out several bottles of medicine from his body, as well as some hidden weapons hidden between his fingers, wax pills for Jiang Li. She carefully taught Jiang Li how to use it, and then gave up.

When Jiang Li left, situ September also dazed Bai Xue and tong'er. The overpowering drug won't wake up until tomorrow afternoon. Otherwise, if the yuan family found themselves missing, they were afraid to blame the two servant girls. Jiang Li stunned the two servant girls so that they wouldn't be angry.

To Jiang Li's surprise, she thought situ Jiujiu had no martial arts, and she was afraid that it would take a lot of trouble to leave the Jiang family. After all, it was not Zhao Ke. But unexpectedly, situ September went out more smoothly than Zhao Ke, because she directly stunned all the gatekeepers. When Jiang Li went out through the back door, it was not time for a column of incense.

She suddenly felt that the reputation of "poison girl" seemed to be good.

Situ September stole a carriage, and the two of them got on the carriage. She put a mask on Jiang Li again. The mask is thin and fits well with people's faces. When she looked in the mirror again, Jiang Li became an ordinary woman with a little cough.

Situ Jiu drove the carriage in September, and she easily changed her face. She was a hunchback girl. The young general guarding the city was surprised to see someone out of the city at night, but situ Jiujiu took out a decree saying that his wife was ill at night and had to go out of the city to find a miracle doctor. The young general opened the carriage and saw Jiang Li on it. Because it was night, he looked vaguely. Seeing that Jiang Li was indeed a sick woman, he no doubt had him and the travel order was also true, so he let go.

Out of the gate, Jiang Li was relieved.

It will take about half an hour to go out of the city gate and drive East for 20 miles. Jiang Li sat in the carriage and didn't immediately pull off the mask that changed her face, but carefully recalled the usage of those poison concealed weapons that situ Jiujiu taught her. Anyway, they are only two women now, not to mention whether they can reach the village mentioned by the other party safely. It's not a good thing if they meet bandits on the road.

Fortunately, this time, they had good luck and didn't encounter any bandits along the way. When Jiang Li and situ arrived at the gate of the agreed village in September, they didn't see anyone.

Situ Jiujiu frowned and asked, "why is there no one? Are those people afraid to come? Or is that letter simply false?"

"It should not be false." Jiang Li said, "they may have arrived. The reason why they didn't appear was to see whether we were cheating or whether we really came alone."

Situ Jiujiu heard the speech, relieved, and then mocked, "it's really cautious."

"Anyway, we've arrived. Just wait here quietly. I don't think they'll show up soon."

Situ Jiujiu said, "OK, I'm outside. If anything happens, you can also be prepared."

Jiang Li nodded and said yes, because it was late at night, it was dark outside, even in the carriage. I don't know if this village is deserted. There is no human trace at all, and there is no sound made by animals. It sounds terrible and quiet. It seemed as if there were only Jiang Li and situ Jiujiu in heaven and earth. Jiang Li can clearly hear the sound of her heartbeat. It's powerful and calm, but she doesn't know what may happen next. At least in this matter, they are passive and have no choice.

I don't know how long it took, Jiang Li only felt that a long time had passed, but there was still no sound outside. She asked situ Jiujiu, "September, have you found anything wrong?"

It's too quiet. Even if the other party wants to observe, it doesn't have to wait so long.

Jiang Li's answer was quiet. There was no sound of situ September outside. Jiang Li's heart "cluttered", and a heart slowly sank down. She nervously clenched her hand full of poison powder, took a deep breath, and lifted the curtain of the carriage.

Then, she saw flames of all sizes. In the desolate field, I don't know when it was already full of people. Situ Jiu, sitting in the position of the coachman, disappeared. The rest of the people stared at her, and the knife on her waist was very conspicuous.

Jiang Li jumped out of the carriage, and suddenly someone patted her on the shoulder behind her, as if she were an old friend. Jiang Li turned around and felt dark in front of her.

Then she was put into a gunny bag, resisted, and threw it back on the carriage. Someone took the position of the coachman and drove the carriage away.

Everything returns to silence.

……

The next day was a sunny day.

The sun shone on the ground covered with snow, emitting some bright brilliance, and even the snow was illuminated into light gold. The weather is still surprisingly cold.

The moon and the breeze came out early in the morning to clean up the ice on the ground. After cleaning up, it was already daybreak. At this time on weekdays, Bai Xue and tong'er also got up early to bring early food to Jiang Li, but they were not found today. Mingyue said, "isn't sister Bai Xue and sister tong'er lazy? Why haven't you seen anyone at this moment?"

"Probably. They were busy for a long time last night, but they still went to wake them up first. Girls can't help eating breakfast." The breeze also said. They live in a different place than tong'er Baixue. Tong'er Baixue is Jiang Li's personal servant girl and lives next to Jiang Li on weekdays. Qingfeng knocked on the door. For a long time, no one answered. Mingyue came over and muttered, "it shouldn't have been out long ago, but I didn't see anyone."

Qingfeng tried to push the door. He didn't think the door was unlocked, but pushed it open. As soon as Qingfeng walked in, he almost tripped over something on the ground. When he looked carefully, he saw Bai Xue and tong'er lying on the ground.

The two servant girls were startled. Mingyue squatted down hurriedly, pushed Bai Xue and shouted, "sister Bai Xue! Sister Bai Xue!"

Bai Xue didn't respond for a long time. Qingfeng thought of something and hurried to the opposite Jiang Li boudoir. First, he knocked on the door, and then he knocked into the door. He saw that the room was empty and there was no one.

"No, no!" Qingfeng ran towards Wanfeng hall.

Hearing the news, Mr. Jiang was in a hurry and fainted. Jiang Yuanbai and Jiang Yuanping sent people to look for it. It was amazing to find out that the bodyguards guarding the back door of Jiang's house were stunned last night. At the moment, they were lying on the ground, and they didn't wake up yet. Snow white and tong'er also fell to the ground after being stunned.

Jiang Li disappeared.

Jiang Yuanping immediately thought of what happened to the Ye family in the capital of Li Yan yesterday and said, "the little pear is missing. Is it related to the killing of the Ye family?"

"I heard that another servant girl in the second young lady's room has also disappeared?" Jiang Yuanbai caught Mingyue and asked, "is that servant girl from the government?"

"Yes." Mingyue carefully replied, "the girl said that she combed her hair well in September, so she brought September back. This morning, the maid didn't see the shadow of September, and I don't know if she was with the girl."

It's not easy to get involved with the government. Especially the bodyguards of Jiang mansion, how can ordinary overpowering drugs stun them. But this matter is not trivial, Jiang Yuanping said: "brother, why don't you let someone go to the government to ask, what's the identity of this servant girl named September? This matter has nothing to do with Su Guogong? The most afraid thing is that somehow our yuan family is also involved in something, we don't know."

Jiang Yuanbai's face was cold and he nodded. For the time being, he had no news that Zhang Jiangli was missing. The quilts in Jiang Li's room are neatly folded. It can be seen that she didn't sleep here last night. There was no sign of fighting in the room, so it could not be someone who came in and took Jiang Li away. It looks more like Jiang Li left voluntarily. Plus there is a servant girl of the government, Jiang Yuanbai always feels that things are not so simple.

The people who went to the government soon came to repay. Ji Heng, the Duke of Su, was not in Yanjing City, nor was general Ji. There was no one in the government who could make decisions, and no one could answer Jiang Yuanbai's question.

"Brother, this is a bad thing." Jiang Yuanping said.

In Jiang Yuanbai's heart, an unknown fire suddenly arose. Almost at this moment, he was sure that whether the servants of the Ye family were killed or Jiang Li disappeared, there was an essential connection with the government. He didn't know why, because the government didn't intend to tell him the answer at the beginning.

"Send someone to find the whereabouts of the second young lady." Jiang Yuanbai said, "in any case, you can't just wait to die."

Jiang Yuanping looked at his eldest brother and sighed in his heart. No one knows that Jiang Yuanbai's orders may not come to fruition. The role of the Jiang family in this matter is really negligible.

But where is Jiang Li?

……

When Jiang Li woke up, it was already the next night.

The first thing she woke up, she felt her heart sink, and the wax pill she bit in her mouth disappeared. She went to touch her arms again. All the hidden weapons and poisons situ gave her in September for self-defense disappeared. To be exact, her clothes were changed inside and outside, and she had nothing. And it should not be her illusion. Her whole body is soft and weak. She has been kidnapped by King Cheng's men. Jiang Li is no stranger. This time, she is exactly the same as last time. She must have been drugged.

The brain memory was still maintained at the moment before she was completely unconscious. She got down from the carriage and didn't see situ Jiujiu's figure. But looking at the appearance of those people in black around the carriage, Jiang Li knew in a moment that she was right, and the other party was indeed Yan Zhan's person. People in the army are absolutely different from those in the marketplace. Those are soldiers. It's more than enough to catch her and situ Jiujiu.

Jiang Li thought about situ September, got out of bed and stood up. There was no one in the room. A lantern was placed on the stool beside the bed, emitting a faint light. There was no sound outside, but she knew that there would never be nobody. She wanted to go to the door, but she took a few steps. There were footsteps outside, and the door of the house was opened.

The other party probably didn't expect Jiang Li to wake up. Both of them were a little stunned. A moment later, Jiang Li said, "Lord of Pingyang County."

Yan Zhiqing stood at the door with a food basket in his hand, and saw Jiang Li. Her expression was a little complicated, but she didn't say anything, so she turned to cover the door, put the food basket on the table, and said, "hungry, I brought you some food."

Jiang Li looked at her and took out the food in the basket. Without going over, she said, "there is medicine in these meals."

Yan Zhiqing made a move, "sorry."

Her face showed a guilty look, not fake. Jiang Li said, "I really can't eat it." Knowing that eating will be manipulated by others, if it's OK at ordinary times, it's really necessary to become Ji Heng's weakness, but how can it be done?

"If you don't eat it, we can also make you eat it. For example, mix it in water and pour it down for you." Speaking of this, she seemed to feel a little too much. After a moment of silence, she whispered, "sorry, I didn't mean to do this to you."

Jiang Li knew that Yin Zhiqing was not the mastermind behind the scenes, and she didn't have that ability. She was eager to ask about situ Jiujiu, so she asked, "where is the girl who was with me at that time? Do you know if there is anything wrong with her?"

Yan Zhiqing's reaction made Jiang Li's heart sink. She looked at Jiang Li in surprise and said, "is there another person? No, when I came, I only knew you were alone."

Jiang Li was silent. It seemed that she couldn't get any useful news from Yan Zhiqing. Yan Zhiqing looked at her and hesitated for a moment before saying, "you don't have to worry, your friend... There should be no danger."

"Do you know why I am here?" Jiang Li asked rhetorically.

Yan Zhiqing shook his head, "they said it's better for you to stay here."

Jiang Li sneered.

She has always been gentle to others, such a mean appearance, made Yan Zhiqing a little surprised, staring at Jiang Li as if she didn't know him. Jiang Li said, "it seems that you don't know anything. It's Yin Zhan who caught me."

"How could it?" Yan Zhiqing frowned, "my father is not here at all."

She has a smart and beautiful face, but her temperament is really simple. Jiang Li doesn't know why. Yan Zhan himself looks by no means ordinary, but his two children, Yan Zhili, are gentle and honest. Yan Zhili's feelings are too simple and frank, which is quite different from Yan Zhan. If he wants to cultivate his sons and daughters into an open and aboveboard temperament, why should he use such a means that is not on the table, and why should he be ambitious? Don't you think these practices are contradictory?

"It's not your father, who is it? You don't even know the whereabouts of September, that's Yan Zhili."

Jiang Li's tone was very calm, but rarely with a trace of aggressiveness. Yan Zhiqing couldn't stand her attitude, and only said, "brother, maybe it's because the marriage between Duke Su and you is a little unhappy that he will do this. Maybe he has other considerations, maybe he's helping you."

"Help me?" Jiang Li laughed, "kill all the servants of my uncle's family, abduct my uncle's cousin and the Xue family, and threaten my five lives. I had to throw myself into the net, hurt my friends, and wipe out all the things I used to protect myself. This seems to be a way to prevent thieves. Pingyang County Lord, I never know what kind intention it is to hurt other people's friends and family."

Yan Zhiqing opened her mouth wide, and she said, "what did you say? Who threatened you? Don't talk casually!"

"Isn't that your good brother?" Jiang Li Dao.

"My brother is not like that!" Yan Zhiqing stood up angrily and said, "I thought you were also a happy person, and a daughter of the Shoufu family. Naturally, you know books and etiquette, but you don't want to throw dirty water on people. How unreasonable!" Her willowy eyebrows are upside down, and her apricot eyes are round. Even if she is angry, she is also charming. Unfortunately, at the moment, Jiang Li is not in the mood to enjoy it.

It seems that Yin Zhili didn't tell Yin Zhiqing anything, and Jiang Li said coldly, "if you don't believe it, you can ask your brother if it's like this. But he can do such a mean thing, and it's nothing to lie."

"You!" Yan Zhiqing was extremely angry and turned to leave. Jiang Li stopped her and asked, "Lord Pingyang, this is not Yanjing City, is it?"

Yan Zhiqing stepped down, and his tone was still angry: "no!"

Jiang liyufa determined one thing. It was afraid that Yin Zhan had done something long ago. With the means of Yin Zhili, he could not do such a thing. That person was too indecisive, which seemed to be Yin Zhan's handwriting. On one side, Yin Zhan dealt with Ji Hong, and on the other side, he let Yin Zhili take him away in order to coerce Ji Hong. He made two preparations to be prepared.

It's really a trick.

"Lord of Pingyang County, do you know why your father and your brother kidnapped me and put me under house arrest here?"

Yan Zhiqing impatiently said, "I already said I don't know, and you have to make up any unnecessary charges!"

"Because of Duke su."

At the mention of Ji Heng's name, Yan Zhiqing turned around and stared at Jiang Li with burning eyes. She asked, "what did you say?"

"As you know, I'm engaged to Ji Hong, and I'll be the Lord's wife in the future. If you take me, you'll take Ji Hong. With my life at stake, your father can make any request for Ji Hong, even his life."

"Joke," Yan Zhiqing said, "why did my father threaten the Duke?"

"Because he is Ji Chen's enemy and is doomed to never die."
