The moment Xia Li woke up, he saw the familiar furnishing in the room. He remembered that this was the inn that she and Sun Chun were hiding at, and at this moment, Sun Chun was standing alone by the window pondering, it was unknown what he was thinking about.

When he thought about the scene he saw before he fainted, Xia Li's heart burned with anger. He lifted off the blanket that he was wrapped in, walked to Sun Chun's side, took a deep breath, and patted his arm.

Sun Chun looked at the anger in Xia Li's eyes, and placed his hand on her shoulder, advising her.

"I'm very sorry that Aunt and Xia Qing were whipped by Jin Xi'er's men. I let you see all of this, but you have to be strong."

"What happened? Why did you knock me out and bring me back to the inn? Can you give me an explanation?" Xia Li questioned Sun Chun.

When Sun Chun told her all the things that happened last night, she stayed silent for a moment and then went closer to Sun Chun.

"Lin Xuaner is in our hands. An Ting and Hu Yong will definitely search the entire county for him. She is the key for us to take down these two foxes.

"This will require our hard work. How can a conceited woman who hasn't suffered much like this be able to withstand our torments?" Sun Chun was well aware of the depravity and weakness of human nature, so how could he not see through Lin Xuaner's weakness?

"Hu Yong and An Ting are colluding, I plan to go up to the north to the Qingzhou and report to the two of them."

Xia Li made up his mind. He took out a brush, ink and paper and prepared to write a bill.

"Do you know anything about Hu Yong? Just sue them? " Sun Chun swept his eyes across Xia Li and asked.

"I only know that he is a resident of the capital and has travelled back and forth between the Qingzhou and the capital many times. He controls the medicine business in the six northern provinces and his relationship in the capital is probably very deep." Xia Li held onto the brush, and accidentally let the brush and ink fall onto the white paper, forming a ball of black ink. She crumpled the white paper in front of her into a ball, and threw it into the wastebasket under the table.

"Hu Yong has befriended many powerful people in the capital. It would not be easy to trip him up. Many people did not dare to provoke him. If you have any grievances, go find him, that's right, once you have written a bill, I can help you send it to the Qingzhou Palace. "

Sun Chun sat next to Xia Li, held her small face and said.

"How do you know so much?" Xia Li now had countless question marks in his mind.

I've told you before, my family's business is considered a wealthy family in the capital. There are many stories and stories about them in the capital." "For the first time, Sun Chun made a mistake about some of his family background, but it put a lot of pressure on Xia Jin.

"Is that so? I didn't notice that you are actually a rich young master. Xia Li was lamenting in her heart, but she did not feel any sense of inferiority. She cared about her family the most, saving them was what she should worry about the most.

"Is there any way to make Lin Xuaner speak tonight? We have no idea where her husband's body is now, and we need to find out. " Sun Chun reminded Xia Li.

"I have an idea." Xia Li said as he took out a dagger from the drawer in his room and kept it in his sleeve.

"Then I'll take you there." Sun Chun held Xia Li's hand and warned him, "I know you hold some hatred in your heart, but you have to remember that even if she dies, it will only end like this.

"I understand." Xia Li nodded.

Deep in the night, in an abandoned house, Xia Li saw Lin Xuaner, who had been imprisoned for an entire day. At this time, her face was covered in sweat, her hair was stuck to her forehead, and her lips were dry.

"Water …" Lin Xuaner called out hoarsely.

"If you want to drink water, then tell me honestly. Where is your hubby's corpse now?"

Xia Li squatted in front of Lin Xuaner and asked.

"I …" After Lin Xuaner heard this, he hesitated for a moment before shaking his head, "I … "He doesn't know anything."

"Alright then, let's continue to thirst." Xia Li and Sun Chun looked at each other, then left the room that held Lin Xuaner.

After holding on for less than two hours, Lin Xuaner seemed to be unable to endure the thirst, and made quite a few noises in the house, then kicked a wooden board that was erected beside him to the ground.

Hearing the movement in the room, Xia Li was the first to walk in as he struggled to shout: "He's here … The garden behind my hubby's study! "

"Is there a guard there?" Xia Li grabbed Lin Xuaner's arm and asked.

"There's a bailiff guarding it …" "Water." Lin Xuaner stared intently at the water bottle in Xia Li's hand.

Xia Li took off the lid of the water jug, held the jug and poured some water into the lid, and then brought it to Lin Xuaner's mouth.

She immediately grabbed the lid of the water bottle and started to drink in big gulps. After drinking the water in the water in the bottle in a few gulps, she requested Xia Li: "I still want to drink, Miss Xia Li."

"Jin Xuan'er, write down the cause and effect of how you were ordered by someone and accused me of causing your hubby's death, and I'll give you water to drink."

Xia Li waved the water bottle in his hand towards Jin Xuan'er, trying to coax her.

"If you beat me to death, I won't say anything. If I say it, I won't be able to keep my life." Jin Xuan'er closed his mouth and looked away.

"Then, do you think that I don't dare to do anything to you?" Xia Li took out his dagger again and waved it in front of Jin Xuan'er's face, scaring her so much that she immediately retreated.

"What do you want?"

"Naturally, I want to leave something on your face. The dagger in my hand can't wait to start moving." As Xia Li spoke, she successfully saw fear and doubt in Jin Xuan'er's eyes.

"What are you afraid of? It's only a disfigurement. Your life is still there." As Xia Li spoke, the dagger in his hand had already been pressed against Jin Xuan'er's cheek.

"No!" If you want to ruin my appearance, you might as well kill me! " Lin Xuaner started to cry, struggling with all his might, trying to escape from the dangerous situation in front of him.

"Then write down the cause and effect of how you plotted against me and killed your hubby. Otherwise, tonight, you will lose your beautiful face."

Xia Li smiled, the dagger in his hand was right in front of Lin Xuaner.

"I don't have the patience." With a ripping sound, Xia Li suddenly cut open Lin Xuaner's clothes at the neck, revealing a piece of snow-white skin at his shoulder.

"Enough! Please, I will write! You can do whatever you want me to, but don't kill me! " Lin Xuaner's voice was extremely penetrating and almost shattered the house. Even Sun Chun who was standing outside couldn't help but cover his ears.

An hour later, Xia Li walked out with an ink-stained piece of paper, blew on it for a while, and then brought it in front of Sun Chun.

Although Sun Chun could not see what was written on the paper clearly, the red handprint on it was still clear to Sun Chun.

Seeing the confusion in Sun Chun's eyes, Xia Li did not beat around the bush and directly asked.

The main reason is that Hu Yong carefully selected the exception from the list of patients who requested for medical treatment in his hospital. It's just like that Old Man Lin who coincidentally died in front of my hospital previously, and used the same tactic. "

"This person is the key for us to defeat Hu Yong and her. We must properly hide her and not let anyone find her." Xia Li's face was solemn, he pulled Sun Chun's hand and said.

"Mn, as well as the four Lin Family Brothers who are hiding near this rundown temple, we need to move them as well." Sun Chun was lost in thought, and in that moment, he did not think of hiding his body properly.

— —

"What?! He's gone?" Hu Yong angrily slammed the teacup in his hand onto the table.

"I only found out when I returned. Brother Hu, don't worry, I already sent people to look for her. Maybe it was Lin Xuaner who went to buy rouge, she will be back very soon." An Ting walked to Hu Yong's side and patted her shoulders to appease her.

"Who would buy rouge for a day? You came to tell me only after people have disappeared for so long! " Hu Yong pushed An Ting away, a trace of impatience flashing across his blurry eyes: "Where's that girl Xia Li, you still haven't caught her yet?"

"No, you should know that the man beside her, Sun Chun, is a strong and powerful martial artist. With him around to protect her, it will not be easy for us to find him."

An Ting frowned, feeling troubled.

"Don't you have her mother on your hands? Are you afraid that she won't show up? Your brain is made of wood, so it wouldn't turn around!" Hu Yong could not help but mock An Ting.

An Ting sighed, his heart naturally unable to accept Hu Yong's mocking and ridicule, but he still endured it and smiled: "I was also angered to the point that I had almost forgotten about it, don't worry, when we go back, I will definitely catch that girl."

"Hurry and find Lin Xuaner, since she is your woman now, take care of her, and don't let that girl Xia Li go too." Hu Yong's mood became a bit calmer. Standing up and preparing to leave the County Yamen, An Ting's voice sounded from behind him.

"Brother Hu, let's see if I can get another promotion this year. Is the silver I gave you enough?"

"If you want to build a relationship with me, what's the use of having money? More importantly, you have to satisfy me, you have to have brains!" After Hu Yong finished speaking, he let out a cold snort and left with his hands behind his back.

"Old fellow, what's the point?" An Ting scoffed, and paced back and forth restlessly, and before long, he shouted out the door: "Grand Master! Send more people out to find the two women, Lin Xuaner and Xia Li. If you can't, don't come back to see me! "

"Yes, master." Master heard An Ting's angry voice, shook his head, and went out to find someone to work.

The sky had just brightened as Xia Li and Sun Chun rushed from the residential area outside the city gates to the county city. At the city gate, they saw people from County Yamen searching for them, and many of the peddlers who went into the city to sell vegetables and small toys were thoroughly inspected by the yamen runners by the yamen runners.

Sun Chun took a look at his disguise. His black face, thick lips, and simple coarse clothes made him look like an ugly woman, and his disguise was so ugly that it seemed like he was going to fall apart. His handsome face was disguised as a black faced official, just that he did not know whether the yamen runners would recognize him, since his search this time was much stricter than the last two days.

"Your hands are shaking. Are you nervous?" Sun Chun looked at Xia Li and teased him.

"No, you're wrong." Xia Li refuted, seeing the smile in Sun Chun's eyes, he pursed his lips and walked towards the city gate.
