Chapter 156: Bare hand blood

After the durian left the imperial city, he did not go to the Qin Mansion to find Qin Jiu, but ordered someone to drive out of the city from Xuande Gate in a carriage.
The carriage drove along the official road into the city for a while, turned to the west at a fork, and drove for half an hour until it reached the western suburbs of Lijing City.
Durian got out of the carriage, ordered Cherry and her entourage to wait there, and walked forward by herself.
There is a large hilly land in front of me, full of bushes and knee-high grass. Passing through the hilly land, I saw a large locust forest. It was in the autumn, and the leaves were a little yellow, shaky on the branches, looking a little desolate and lonely. The graves, which are much smaller than the hills, are scattered in the woods. There are not even tombstones in front of the graves. Most of the people buried are the poor and some unknown vagrant beggars, as well as the prisoners who committed serious crimes.
This is the chaotic grave in the west of Lijing City. The Bai family was buried here when they committed a crime. Qiu Chong screamed sadly in the grass, and occasionally rabbits poked their heads between the graves, seemingly not afraid of people.
The durian has been standing in front of a large grave for a long time. He did not know which grave was Bai Suxuan’s burial place, which grave was his parents’ burial place. He could only bow down in front of a large tomb. He took out a pot of sake from his arms, lifted the lid, and the jug. Dumped and sprinkled in the mud.
Since he knew that Bai Suxuan was sister Xuan, and since he knew the relationship between his parents and the Bai family, he had always wanted to come here to worship. It's just that he held it back forcibly, because he knew that he hadn't done anything wrong, so he had no face to come to see them. He had always hoped that he could retry the Bai Family's case with his own ability, but he never thought that even if evidence was found, the retrial would still be impossible. This made him extremely distressed and confused, and the hope that had been in his heart suddenly shattered, and despair struck like darkness.
Obviously it was daylight, the sky above his head was white and colorful, and the scorching sun was shining brightly, but he felt darkness before his eyes.
The durian stood in front of the grave, my heart sour.
There was a rustling sound in the grass next to the grave, and the durian was shocked, staring at it. A dirty wild dog that didn't know where to run rushed out with a white bone in his mouth, and he didn't know whether the bone was a human bone or an animal bone.
Durian's eyes were hot, but he forcibly held back the tears that were about to come out of his eyes, fell on his knees and bowed to the ground for a few prayers, then got up and left. At this moment, the dark eyes that were somewhat confused were a bit firm. Although this road was difficult to follow, even if he was overcome with obstacles, even if he gave everything, he would go on. He cannot allow his relatives to bury their bones in the wilderness and be eaten by wild dogs. I can't stand it, no matter how much I miss it, I can't come to worship openly.
Durian walked away quickly, for fear that he would look back again and could not help crying. He walked very fast, and there was a rustling noise behind the mound next to him. He thought it was the wild dog and didn't care. But there was a sudden pain in his neck, and his eyes suddenly turned black. Durian's body shook a few times. Before he finally passed out, he caught a glimpse of a figure behind him.
Cherry and the attendants are still two mounds away from here. The durian opened her mouth, but she couldn't make a sound at all. She fell to the ground and felt unconscious.
An hour later, Qin Jiu got the news. At that moment, she felt a throbbing pain in her mind. If something happened to the durian, how could she bear it.
Cherry and a few entourage knelt to the ground, dare not even the atmosphere. These entourages were all picked out by Qin Jiu from the Suyi Bureau, asking them to protect the durians with their lives, but maybe the durians have been safe for a long time, there is no danger, they actually lowered their vigilance, at this moment , Knowing that he has made a big mistake, dare not excuse it.
Cherry knelt on the ground, a deep look of despair in her black eyes. She knelt and kneeled towards Qin Jiu, all her hair buns scattered, looking embarrassed.
"My lord asked us to wait for him there, and didn't let us follow. How did we think that someone would be there to attack the lord..."
"Stop talking!" Qin Jiu said coldly, a sharp cold color flashed in his black eyes.
She saw Cherry's guilt in her eyes, but at this time, guilt was useless. What needs to be done now is to find durian. Since the person robbed the durian and did not kill the durian on the spot, it means that they will not kill the durian for the time being, because it is obviously much easier to kill on the spot than to rob it.
"Wu Gou, you go to mobilize the forces in Lijing's sect. Before dark tonight, I want to get news from Master Qin." Qin Jiu said lightly, although his tone was light, but he had a prestige that could not be rejected.
Wu Gou agreed and left.
Qin Jiu slowly leaned back on the chair, the corners of his eyes and eyebrows were unconcealed.
She already knew what was happening at the court today, and she actually knew a little bit about this uncle the emperor. When he was young, he was a rough man. He was able to detect the suffering of the people and knew how to do well. When he got old, he became more suspicious and distrusted the people around him. Otherwise, the aunt would not end up like that. He seemed to be kind to others, but in fact, deep down in his heart, there was a lot of retribution. However, he still has the advantages, and he is not too confused to the point where his grievances are unclear, but why is he not willing to agree to a retrial of the case? Qin Jiu thought, there must be something she doesn't know about inside.
For Qingdi's reaction, Durian's disappointment is understandable. However, he went out of the city to worship impulsively, so that Qin Jiu felt extremely uncomfortable in such an unexpected event. Such an accident, if she had thought of it earlier, should have been avoided.
Who the is it? Let's do it on Lian'er.
Qin Jiufeng's eyes narrowed slightly. This incident can prove that her guess in prison was not wrong. Su Qing went to jail, but there are people more powerful than him playing the endgame behind him.
Qin Jiu stayed in the palace for a day, and when it was getting dark, he finally got the news that Wu Gou had brought back.
What Wu Gou brought was a letter, which was sent by a child when they were searching in the suburbs. The child asked him: "Are you Wu Gou of Tianchen Sect?" Wu Gou said yes. The little child handed him the letter and told him that the letter was given to the master Qin Jiu of their Tianchen Sect. At this time, the letter was placed in front of Qin Jiu. The letter is made of kraft paper, and the cover is stained with blood. Qin Jiu stared at the cover of the letter, and was somewhat afraid to open it.
No matter how you count on omission, there will always be omissions.
Durian's performance in the court must have attracted the attention of some people. Those who do not want the Baijiazhi case to be tried again will be murdered.
Qin Jiu closed his eyes and finally stretched out his trembling hand and opened the letterhead.
There are only a few numbers on it. It is said that she was allowed to go to the Yuelai wine shop in the west of the city alone in Shenshi. After Qin Jiu read the letter, the heart that was originally hanging from his throat slowly fell. Fortunately, from the letter, he is still safe at this time.
Qin Jiu looked at the time, and it was more than half an hour before Shenshi. From here to the west of the city, it takes an hour to ride a carriage. If you ride a horse, you can hurry, but if you ride slowly, you might be too late.
Qin Jiu put the letter in the candlelight and burned it, put on a hollow incense ball, and gave a few words to the loquat. Without taking a person, he went to the stable and led the horse out, and the horse was out of the house.
Yuelai Winery is located on the side of the main road to the west of the city, facing a maple leaf forest. At this time, the maple leaf has turned red, and you can see the fiery red in the forest from outside the wine shop. This wine shop is not an inn, it just serves wine and food for the guests. The wine shop is not big, although it is night, there are many guests.
When Qin Jiu arrived at the wine shop, he was only one stick of incense to Shen Shi. The people behind the scenes calculated the time very accurately, even she had no time to think about countermeasures, find someone to discuss, and talk to people on the road.
Qin Jiu took out the veil from his sleeve, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and took a seat on the table by the window. He ordered a plate of peanuts, a plate of dried tofu, and a pot of sake. While eating slowly, she secretly looked at the guests in the store. After a while, a man with a scar on his waist and a saber walked up to her and said coarsely, "Jiuye is in good spirits. Come with me!"
Qin Jiu sat still, coldly squinting his eyes, "Is Lian'er really in your hands?"
The man impatiently took a thing out of his arms and threw it on the table with a snap.
This is a sachet embroidered with a big white goose, Qin Jiu recognizes it as Shang Chuchu's birthday gift to durian. She narrowed her eyes, reached out and took the sachet up, and said coldly: "Let's go!"
There was a carriage outside the wine shop. The man clicked on Qin Jiu's acupoint, put a black cloth bag on her head, and drove the carriage on the official road. Although Qin Jiu was tapped, his consciousness was still clear. She felt that the carriage seemed to have left the flat official road and was walking on the mountain road. But because the carriage went around, she didn't know which direction she was heading. Qin Jiu felt that the carriage had been on the road for a long time before finally stopping.
Scar Man came over to open the carriage curtain, cut Qin Jiu's hand back and tied it, and then opened her sealed acupuncture point, and said to Qin Jiu in a rough voice: "Here, you come down!"
Qin Jiu stretched out his almost numb leg and walked out of the car slowly. Someone had been waiting there, and seeing her coming down, they stepped forward and escorted her forward. The road under his feet was uneven, and Qin Jiu guessed that it might be in the mountains. She guessed well, when someone took off the black cloth bag from her head, her eyes suddenly lit up.
Qin Jiu quickly swept his gaze around, and found that there was a sense of familiarity here. After thinking about it, he remembered. This is the cottage where she and Yan Yu were captured by the bandits. It was here that she met the lady who didn't know how to play the piano, and played one of her Yulouchun into a song.
Although the place is the old place, when Qin Jiu's gaze swept over the cold gaze of the black-clothed man in the middle, she knew that the people here were no longer the bandits of the past.
