Chapter 118

The fire licked the firewood pile and kept burning. The flame shook and swayed in the air.

The man lying on the ground only wore an inner coat. The snow-white inner coat was torn into cracks. There was blood in the cracks, and it was a whip wound.

At this time, he lay on the ground powerlessly, his eyes closed, and he didn't know life or death.

A yamen took a stack of paper, grabbed his bloody hand and pressed it on the paper.

"All right, my Lord." The Yamen took the confession and handed it to Chang Daren.

Chang Daren glanced a few eyes, and a little smile flashed in his narrowed eyes. He laughed and said with a sigh: "Third Master Qi, why do you insist on confessing as soon as possible? Why do you add pain to yourself in the end? It's really worthless."

Third Master Qi had been tortured for days and couldn't support it. At this time, he was in a daze. He didn't even have the strength to open his eyes. He just gave a cold hum in his nostrils, as if he were a silent mockery of Chang Daren.

Chang Daren doesn't care. In his opinion, the third Lord Qi is bound to die. Why should he care about the words of a dead man.

"Prisoner Qi San colluded with the blood lotus sect and plotted to kill. His crime is unforgivable. He has pleaded guilty, taken into custody first and beheaded at noon tomorrow!" Chang Daren shouted loudly, took the paper, turned around and laughed out of the cell.

"Master, master..."

Just then, a boy in coarse cloth ran over and said a word in Chang Daren's ear.

The smile on Chang Daren's face disappeared in an instant. He grabbed the boy's collar and asked sternly, "seriously?"

"Seriously, sir, go back quickly. If you don't go back, there's no home!"

Chang Daren threw the confession into the Yamen's arms, turned and left. He disappeared into the dark in a moment.

The dusk drum has sounded, and Yucheng, which has been noisy for a day, seems to be trapped in another country. It is dark, quiet and treacherous. There are silent things flowing in the air, like a gentle water flow. There is no wave on the surface, and the dark tide at the bottom is surging. It is ready to turn over startling waves at any time.

The fire was blazing, and countless soldiers with torches and swords had surrounded a mansion.

As soon as Qian Yu held the fan in her hand, she blew the wind. The cool wind in autumn patted her face like ice residue. Her eyes fell on the dark plaque, and Yi Xiaoqiao's words sounded in her ears.

The emperor is far away, and the emperor has said that he has the final say.

The mountain is high and the emperor is far away. It's too far away to whip and raise tigers.

"Master, it's ready." Liu Yin gathered around Qian Yu and whispered.

"Watch it for me. No one is allowed to leave." With a crash, Qian Yu closed her fan and said, "open the door."

The gate of Chang's house opened slowly, making a harsh "squeak", like the neighing of evil spirits in the dark.

Guards with knives rushed in with torches and quickly rushed into rooms to control the people inside.

"Oh, who are you, dying..."

When a curse came, Qian Yu suddenly didn't feel it and strode to the backyard.

"You can't enter the backyard. There are ladies and ladies in the backyard..." the old housekeeper shouted anxiously: "Miss, madam..."

Qian Yu waved her fan and hit the Housekeeper on the neck. The housekeeper fell to the ground soft.

"Ah..." the crowd took a breath. They all looked at Qian Yu in fear and closed their mouth involuntarily.

Qian Yu didn't even look at them. She went straight to the backyard with her hands on her back.

"Your son." There was an exclamation behind him. Chang Daren caught up with him step by step and smiled pleasantly: "why did you bring so many officers and soldiers here late at night? Did you..."

Qian Yu's folding fan patted him on the chest: "don't you know what in your heart."

"Come on, bring me all the people. Let adult Chang open his eyes today."

"Yes." Liu Yin took command, waved his hand, and several guards rushed in. Not long ago, they had escorted people to the front yard.

Qian Yu sat on a chair with a low body. There were people kneeling on the ground in front of him. There were servants guarding the courtyard, servant girls, and several wives of Chang Daren. Chang Daren flattered and smiled: "young master, what are you doing this big night?"

Qian Yu stood up, patted the folding fan with one hand and walked slowly among them. Her eyes moved from this man's face to that man's face, with a smile on her lips and a cold sarcasm.

Chang Daren's heart went up and down as he walked, and his face became more and more serious: "are you looking for someone? Tell me and I'll help you find it?"

"Here are all my family members. I see them every day. They are all innocent people, young master..."

Before the words fell, he saw Gan Yu's folding fan on a woman's shoulder: "raise your head."

The woman was dressed in white gauze and knelt low on the ground. The green silk was like a waterfall, and her eyebrows and eyes were drooping. Her skin color was very white, just like white jade. She hesitated and slowly raised her head. A pair of watery eyes were as clear as the river, with tenderness and friendship in her eyes.

"This... This is a little girl, Chang Yue." Chang Daren smiled in relief: "Nian Fang is fifteen, but she hasn't married yet..."

Before the voice fell, he saw Gan Yu turn the folding fan and sweep the edge of the fan. Suddenly, several slender spikes stretched out and rushed directly at the woman around Chang Yue.

The spikes were like snow and ice, shining with a cold light under the light of the torch. Seeing that they were about to reach the woman's neck, they saw that the woman suddenly deviated, flying out low and sliding out of the crowd like a fluttering swallow.

She took her sleeve in one hand and stared at Qian Yu with cold eyes.

Qian Yu took time to put away the fan: "it's really you."

"How did you find out?" The woman shouted angrily in a low voice. Her voice was not as gentle as that of a woman at ordinary times, but a little low, more like a man.

Qian Yu rubbed her nose and sneered, "why should I tell you? Take it down for me."

The words fell, and everyone rushed up.

Chang Daren looked flustered and jumped at Qian Yu: "young master Jun, what's going on? Who is she..."

Whoosh——

A big knife fell on Chang Daren's neck. Chuiyang slowly came out with cold eyes and said with a smile: "who is she? Don't you know? Don't you pay tribute to her every year?"

Chang Daren's eyes suddenly widened. There was no usual timidity and cowardice in his eyes. On the contrary, he was more cold and murderous. With a flick of his wrist, several darts rushed at Chuiyang's face.

Chuiyang waved his knife to resist.

Chang Daren has seen the right time. His short body floats and goes straight to Qian Yu's back. The dagger flashes a cold light and hits Qian Yu's vest.

WOW——

There was a sound, a cold light flashed, and the dagger had been difficult to advance for half a minute. Chang Daren looked intently, but he saw that Qian Yu's head didn't return. He only carried one hand on his back and folded the fan, so he easily resisted his dagger.

Chang Daren missed the attack. He was already watched by Chuiyang and Liu Yinqi. He turned and ran away. He cut down countless officers and soldiers all the way and went straight to the woman: "sect leader, go quickly."

The woman turned and wanted to go, but suddenly she saw many officers and soldiers standing around, all with bows and arrows aimed at them.

In the daytime, the bow and arrow with feathers, like a soul stirring Messenger, glowed with cold light.

The woman looked slightly changed and swept around, but she saw that the whole Chang family was surrounded by such archers. There was no way out, so she couldn't help sneering.

Chang Daren changed his timidity in the past. Holding a bloody short dagger, he swept the crowd with cold eyes and twitched fiercely at the corners of his lips: "how did you find me?"

He thought he was hiding well enough and deep enough. For so many years, no one found that he had something to do with the blood lotus sect. How could he know as a childe from Kyoto?

Qian Yu slowly shook the fan: "Chuiyang, take out the things."

"Yes." Chuiyang turned and took out a burden, shook it, and threw several uneven iron plates in front of Chang Daren.

Chang Daren shrunk his eyes and raised his head in an instant. He naturally recognized what it was. It was the template they used to make gold and silver.

Gold and silver are too big to be transported and easy to be noticed. Therefore, when transporting gold and silver, he usually transforms those gold and silver into nearby things. Silver is transformed into rice and gold is transformed into gold beads as big as soybeans. It is difficult to be found in grain.

Originally, Yucheng was in turmoil these days. He had put his things away. Unexpectedly, they found him.

"Originally, you knew it was me, so why..." Chang Daren's eyes showed a fierce light: "you remind me to get Qi San's confession in order to distract me?"

"Otherwise, how can I find the leader of the blood lotus sect so easily." Qian Yu slowly tightened the folding fan in her hand: "why did you teach blood lotus to stir up trouble in our country? What is your intention?"

"I don't like this corrupt official. Naturally I'll take you back."

Qian Yu seemed to hear some funny joke and burst out laughing: "what you said is very good. You have not figured out your own affairs yet. You dare to take charge of the affairs of our country. You might as well tell me directly. Who ordered you and who colluded with you?"

"Gee, you want to talk from me?" The woman covered her lips with a smile, raised her wide sleeves, and a stream of powder rose with the wind and rushed to the officer and soldier nearest to her.

"Ah -" the officers and soldiers covered their faces and screamed. The face turned red and turned into a pool of blood in the stunned eyes of the people.

The crowd took a breath of air-conditioning and retreated one after another.

"Shoot an arrow." Gan Yu drank angrily in a cold voice.

A feather arrow broke through the air and rushed to the leader and Chang Daren.

"Daddy!" Chang Yue exclaimed, suddenly jumped at Qian Yu and shook his arm: "why did you kill dad?"

Qian Yu swept her sleeves and swept her on the ground: "don't get in the way."

Chang Yue wanted to jump up when she got up, but her shoulder hurt. She was grabbed by someone and her neck collar was lifted up.

Pooh Pooh——

A feather arrow shot into her body.

She looked back confused and saw a familiar face. In the past, that face was always smiling, flattering or timid, but today it was as terrible as Shura. She stared at him.

"Dad..." she wanted to ask him why, but her voice only made a sound of "snoring, snoring", and blood overflowed from the corners of her lips.

His eyes moved, and he saw that his mother, relatives, had fallen to the ground and had been poked into a hedgehog.

"Master, let's go."

With Chang Daren's exclamation, Chang Yue's head tilted and died in peace.
