In the dead of night, it was already the second watch.

After last night's turmoil, the city of Suzhou is exceptionally quiet tonight. Although there was no curfew, the number of officers and soldiers patrolling the streets was obviously several times higher than before, and with the soldiers and horses guarding the gates everywhere, the whole city of Suzhou had become like an iron bucket.

Although Xu Qinglian, who was sitting on a chair in the room, seemed to be calm, he was actually quite nervous.

Because of the cover of hundreds of thousands of people in the city, they have not yet been found by the government. But he believes that as long as he doesn't leave this place again, after a period of time, he and others will have nothing to hide, and then they will really fall into the hands of the government.

At this time, Bai Lian had already flashed into the door, and his face was the same solemn. As soon as she saw him like this, what happened to Xu Qinglian's sentence on the outside of her mouth, and changed it to: "Don't you have a chance to leave the city?" ”

"The officers and soldiers of the night patrol are watching too closely, and there are enough people at the city gate, it is almost impossible to sneak out of the city." Bai Lian shook his head slightly.

"In that case, now the only way to go there is to avoid the limelight. But as a result, some people can't stay. Xu Qinglian frowned and said what she was thinking.

Bai Lian nodded: "That's all there is to it." But this time we didn't miss completely, at least we made Suzhou City a mess. And until now, they haven't been able to really fix the matter. ”

"Speaking of which, then Yan Yuqi can be regarded as having some means, at least he has the ability to choose people. It's a pity that he refuses to join my holy religion...... What a pity! The corners of Xu Qinglian's mouth were slightly hooked, but she couldn't see much pity, only a deep, heart-wrenching killing intent.

"I'll arrange it, this person can't stay." After Bai Lian said this, he turned around and left again.

Xu Qinglian watched him leave, and unconsciously knocked lightly on the armrest of the chair under him: "Yu Qian is already quite difficult to deal with, and now there is another one named Lu Jin, and things are really a little tricky." It seems that after this time, the relevant matters must be reported to the sect leader, so that the sect leader can be prepared. ”

Because of the silence of the night, the people in Suzhou City under the night sky have a deep sense of depression. Especially for many people in the government, this chaos has put him under a lot of pressure. If the kidnapped Huo Gonggong was really killed, then their responsibility was not small.

However, this is only for most people, and Zhao Keyuan's mood is not affected by this at all, and even judging from his reaction after returning home, he is still quite happy. Because he actually asked the kitchen to prepare half a catty of wine for himself tonight, and drank the bottle of wine clean. Only those who are familiar with him know that only when they are in high spirits and feel that there is something proud, Zhao Tongju will drink some wine.

However, because of the strict family style, whether it was Zhao Keyuan's wife and concubine, or the housekeeper around him, he didn't dare to ask him why he was so happy, and he didn't explain, but he just took advantage of the wine, came to the study, and wrote and painted alone behind closed doors.

It wasn't until the end of the second watch that Zhao Keyuan stretched his waist, his face turned red, and he staggered out a little and walked towards the backyard.

When he went out, Zhao Keyuan didn't notice anything unusual. But after walking a few steps, he remembered that Zhao Liu, who was supposed to wait outside the door to serve his cronies, had disappeared.

"This stinky boy, did you go to sleep again? It's really getting more and more unpleasant, and Ming'er has to make him suffer some hardships! Zhao Keyuan frowned dissatisfiedly, and at the same time secretly made up his mind in his heart. In his concept, even the most trusted house slave must do what he commands.

At this time, the bright moon was in the sky, and the white moonlight shone on the ground, faintly reflecting his figure. This reminded Zhao Keyuan of Li Taibai's poem for no reason: "Raise a glass to invite Mingyue, and the shadow becomes a trio." It's a pity that I don't have any wine in my hand, so I can't invite you to come down and conspire with me to get drunk......" Mingyue muttered with his back to the top of his head, and he stepped forward again, but suddenly, a relaxed and smug smile suddenly froze on his face, and his eyes showed a look of horror.

Just because at the moment when he looked down at the road, he suddenly saw an additional figure on the ground. Although it is a little vague, it is indeed a human figure, not the shadow of other beams or flowers in the garden. Zhao Keyuan hurriedly turned his head, but there was no one behind him except for darkness!

"Am I dazzled?" Zhao Keyuan's heart was furious, and he turned his head to look ahead again, and then his whole person was as if he had been struck by lightning, and he almost screamed, because on the ground in front of him, there were three figures at this moment, one more than before!

"How can it be like this...... Zhao Keyuan's eyes widened, his face was incredulous, and cold sweat had quickly oozed from his back and forehead. For people in this era, once they see such strange things, their first reaction is to say that they are gods and ghosts.

At this time, another gust of autumn wind blew at the right time, and a cloud was blown by the wind and fluttered, which just covered the moonlight overhead, which made the shadow on the ground suddenly no longer appear.

But Zhao Keyuan not only did not breathe a sigh of relief because of this, but felt even more panicked. The autumn wind that should have been cool blew on him, only making him feel a deep chill to the bone, and at the same time, he only felt a flower in front of him, a guy who was two or three feet taller than him, with a robe reaching to the ground, but seemed to be floating in the air, had appeared in front of him.

A face that was pitch black, but could not be seen clearly, was condescendingly pasted up. This time, Zhao Keyuan really couldn't bear it anymore, and immediately screamed loudly: "Come on...... Who's coming......" As soon as the voice came out, the other party's hand suddenly raised and covered his mouth.

was covered by that hand, Zhao Keyuan's whole heart almost jumped out of his chest, his eyes were even more round, and his eyes were full of horror. Because the feeling that the hand gave him was so cold, like pig iron, it was not the temperature that a human hand could have anyway.

Moreover, what made Zhao Keyuan feel even more flustered was that although his cry for help was cut off by someone, after all, he shouted out, and his voice was not small. However, the whole family didn't react at all, let alone his wife and children, even those servants and servants, and they didn't alarm half of them. This is so unconscionable.

At this time, a faint voice suddenly came from his side: "Zhao Keyuan, it's useless for you to scream, you are no longer in the yang world at this moment, they can't hear your shouting." ”

"You...... Who are you? Why...... Why bother me? Zhao Keyuan's two rows of teeth couldn't help but collide with each other, and it was not easy to ask such a sentence.

"We ...... Not people. The faint voice continued, "We are just souls that have died in vain and cannot be reincarnated, and are not even ghosts. ”

After a pause, he said again: "Fortunately, today's city god is gracious, so that we have revenge, as long as we kill the murderer who killed us, we can be reincarnated!" ”

As soon as he said this, the cold hand had moved away from Zhao Keyuan's mouth, slashed down, and had been placed on his throat, as if he could strangle him to death on the spot with a slight force.

Zhao Keyuan's body quickly swung and almost became incontinent. But he still forced himself to say: "What kind of grudge does this official have with you? How did you become the murderer who killed you? You're looking for the wrong person......"

"It is true that we were not killed by you, but you were the accomplice of the murderer, and you harbored them. If they were not in the yamen now, we would not be able to get close, and we would have taken their lives today. Now, the only way to do it is to take you first......"

"You ...... You are ......" When the other party mentioned this, Zhao Keyuan was stunned, and he had already guessed their identities, but when the words came to his mouth, he was a little speechless.

"We are those souls who were killed by Li Yanjiu, my name is Qi San, and his name is Deng Liu...... We died so miserably, let's let you fill in your life for this today! As he spoke, the cold hand had contracted violently, as if it was about to crush Zhao Keyuan's Adam's apple completely.

Zhao Keyuan was really scared this time, he only felt a heat in the crotch of his pants, and the urge to urinate that he could not hold back just now completely erupted. At the same time, he whimpered and said, "I...... I was really forced to help them cover up the truth. If you spare me, I will tell all the truth, and I will avenge you. You may not know it, but now there is a court in the middle of the court, Yu Qianyu, who is investigating this case in Suzhou, he is an upright person, and he will definitely be able to help you clear your grievances. ”

"But haven't you been helping Li Yanjiu and them cover up the facts?" The faint voice continued.

If Zhao Keyuan was sober at this time, he would definitely realize that the hand that was pinching his throat had actually loosened a lot, otherwise he would not have been able to say such a long sentence. But at this moment, he was so frightened that he couldn't think so deeply, he just wanted to save his life, so he said urgently: "I was also forced to be helpless, and the benefits they gave me, I haven't moved, they are all in the study, if you don't believe it, you can just go and see it." ”

"So, do you admit that you did shield Li Yanjiu and the others of the Cao Gang, and they did kill Yue Nanxing's companions?"

Zhao Keyuan, who had already been confused, didn't think about it at all, and directly nodded and agreed: "That's right, I didn't kill you with my own hands......" As soon as the words came out, he realized that the situation seemed to be a little wrong, because this problem did not come from behind him, but from the side. Moreover, the voice of this voice is quite normal, full of official authority.

As he confessed everything, suddenly three applause rang out, and then a few fluffy sounds, and torches suddenly lit up from the four walls!

Zhao Keyuan was dumbfounded for a moment, because he found that there were officers and soldiers standing around him, and not far away, Yu Qianzheng was staring at him like electricity!
