Escape after crossing

The noise outside also woke Wu Shijie up. Seeing so many people standing in the room, he was a little confused and was just about to get up and ask.

My foot accidentally touched something, and I sat up to see what it was. It would have been fine if I hadn't looked, but when I did, I was stunned.

"Liu Wozi, Liu Wozi, wake up." After kicking twice without any response, Wu Shijie hurriedly went to touch the person on the bed.

But when he moved, Wu Shijie felt a burning pain in his crotch. He lifted the sheet and saw that his lower body was naked.

He turned around and saw everyone in the room, and shouted loudly, "Get out, get out!"

While shouting, he reached out to grab the clothes under the bed, but no one listened to him. The bailiffs in the government office had just been woken up.

He was originally very impatient and wanted to lose his temper, but when he heard that someone had died, he asked about the location and found out that it was near Wu Shijie's residence, so he became concerned.

He quickly called a few people and they came running over, but they became more and more panicked as they walked. A smart yamen runner saw that the place that was surrounded was Wu Shijie's residence.

He hurriedly turned around and ran back to the government office. The bailiffs in the government office all knew the relationship between Wu Shijie and the prefect Wu Shiyong, so they hurried to inform the prefect.

Wu Shiyong, who had been waiting for news in the study room all night, was now sleeping on the desk in the study room.

Several yamen runners arrived at Wu Shijie's residence and drove everyone out, leaving two to guard the gate to prevent outsiders from approaching.

The three yamen runners in the room looked at the situation in the room and were a little at a loss. Wu Shijie saw an acquaintance and shouted hurriedly.

"Brother Li, Brother Li, please help me get my clothes."

The yamen runner called Brother Li was slightly older than Wu Shijie, with a slightly darker skin, but a rather strong body. Wu Shijie was usually nice to people, and Wu Shijie had helped Brother Li before.

So when Brother Li heard that Wu Shijie wanted his help, he went over and found a relatively clean piece of clothing on the ground and put it on Wu Shijie.

He then went to check on the other person on the bed, sniffed his breath, felt his carotid artery, and squeezed the body, as if to check the temperature so as to determine how long he had been dead.

"Brother Li, what happened?" Wu Shijie was also a little anxious to know, completely unaware of what he had done to the corpse?

"He's dead. We have to wait for the coroner to come to find out how long he's been dead. Judging from the stiffness, he must have been dead not long ago. Do you remember what happened?"

The yamen runner named Brother Li pointed at the scene in the room and asked Wu Shijie to take a look, hoping that he would remember something.

Wu Shijie then took a good look around the room. There was a wine pot and snacks on the table not far away, but the stool was tilted to one side, and then there were shoes and clothes all the way to the bed.

There was a sheet on the bed, and a body, and you could vaguely see dirt and blood under the sheet. Maybe the smell of blood on the bed was stronger, so I didn't smell any fishy smell.

Seeing the dirt on the bed sheet, Wu Shijie seemed to remember the pain in his lower body. He saw that the body on the bed was half-naked with the upper body, and mainly the lower body was covered by the sheet.

Wu Shijie thought of something in his mind, and regardless of his own pain, he quickly walked to the bedside and reached out to lift the sheet.

The moment the list was opened, the expression on Wu Shijie's face was so good-looking, surprise, disbelief, and then suddenly nausea.

"What's wrong? Where do you feel uncomfortable? Do you want to see a doctor?" Brother Li asked with concern.

When Brother Li saw the scene on the bed, he was also in disbelief. Looking at Wu Shijie's expression, he felt disgusted.

"Brother Li, I only remember that I was drinking there last night, and I don't remember anything else."

"Don't remember? Are you drunk? Do you know this person?"

"I know him, it's me..." Wu Shijie suddenly realized that he couldn't tell others what they were going to do last night.

"No, Brother Li, I don't know this person." Wu Shijie hurriedly denied.

Wu Shijie's denial made Brother Li understand what he was running away from, but smart people know what to ask and what not to ask, what to know and what not to know.

Brother Li was able to get along well with the yamen runners, which showed that he was self-aware. "I'll let Guo Zi accompany you back to the government office first, and we'll handle this."

Brother Li waved to Guo Zi to signal him to come over and help Wu Shijie. After all, Wu Shijie was still a little unwell.

"No need. I'm in this state now. If I go out, I'm afraid people will point fingers at me.

Send someone to find the work. I want to know how that person died. Also, send a letter to Magistrate Wu, saying that I left something outside the city and asking him to send someone to check if it is lost. He knows where it is.

Wu Shijie sat down at the table and said to Brother Li. Brother Li nodded to Guo Zi and said, "Do as Captain Wu said. Go and come back quickly. Also, have someone drive away the people outside."

Guozi agreed, ran out to explain, and then headed to the government office. Xuanyi and Xuanwu stopped reading after seeing this, as they had more important things to do.

As for whether Wu Shijie will be dealt with later and how he will be dealt with, they don’t care. Xuan Yi even asked Jiang Ziluo.

After doing so much, why didn't they care about how Wu Shiyong dealt with Wu Shijie? Jiang Ziluo said that this was just to teach Wu Shijie a lesson.

With Wu Shiyong as the prefect around, and not everyone witnessing Wu Shijie killing people, Wu Shiyong has plenty of ways to exonerate Wu Shijie.

Xuan Yi knew very well about the darkness of these government officials. The reason he asked this question was because he was afraid that Jiang Ziluo might worry that those people had found out more.

He wanted to tell Jiang Ziluo that if he wanted to see what happened to Wu Shijie, he could tell the government.

After listening to Jiang Ziluo's statement, Xuan Yi still felt it was a pity. Jiang Ziluo said, there is no rush, let them be uneasy for two more days, and when the time comes, you can see the consequences for them without any trouble, why bother now?

Xuan Yi was just thinking about what Jiang Ziluo said when Xuan Wu asked, "Boss, should we go and tell the prefect? ​​Otherwise, I think the prefect will try to make things smaller."

Looking at Xuan Wu, Xuan Yi could imagine what he looked like when he asked Jiang Ziluo. He couldn't help but smile.

"Boss, why are you laughing? Do you think my idea is good?"

"What's good about that? Just go back and protect the Ninth Prince. You don't have to worry about what's going on here."

"Oh! Boss, just say what you want to say. Why are you hitting me? Besides, you won't control your strength. You will make me stupid."

"If you're afraid of being beaten stupid, get out of here and take the horse back. I'll go find the prince."

"I got it. Let's go." Xuan Wu led the horse and left.

Xuanyi glanced in the direction of Wu Shijie's residence again, then turned and went to Huajianfu.

He had to find his master, tell him about this, and ask him to be careful in the future and not to offend Miss Jiang.

At that time, it might be their own master who would suffer, and they wouldn't know how to deal with it. This Miss Jiang is ruthless and has many ideas.

Xuan Yi thought that he would have to ask Miss Jiang for advice on the martial arts she used yesterday someday. He wanted to learn it. The movements were fast and smooth, and they hit the vital points.

Soon they arrived at Huajianfu, which had just opened. Manager Zhang was still directing the waiter to clean everything that needed to be cleaned.

Seeing Xuan Yi coming so early, I thought something was wrong, so I hurriedly went up to him and asked, "So early, what happened?"

"No, I just finished something and came to talk to the master. Is the master awake?"

"Not yet. I was busy for a while after you left last night and went to bed very late. Is it important?"

"Oh, it's not that important, just some small matters. I'll go back there first and come back when I have time."

"Xuan Yi." Xuan Yi was about to leave when he was stopped by Leng Chenming who came down from upstairs.

Leng Chenming got used to it in the army. No matter how late he went to bed, he would get up early in the morning to exercise.
