After the family fell, I wanted to lie down

It was a teenager, and the soldier was a little surprised. Usually assassins or criminals are good at concealing their identities. The soldier pointed his spear at Zhu Nian again.

"You bold thug, why don't you surrender?"

Zhu Nian was a little surprised. What kind of scene was this? He immediately raised his hand and said, "I just want to come and see my sister. I am a student of Qinghe Academy."

As soon as he finished speaking, a group of soldiers swarmed over and knocked him to the ground.

"Inform the adults that we have caught one alive."

"Be careful, he has a weapon."

When Zhu Nian was knocked to the ground, a fishy smell hit his face and his face felt hot as it rubbed against the ground. Then he was pulled up again. What on earth had happened? He just wanted to see his sister, so how could he be involved with a murderer or something?

"I'm not a murderer. I'm a student of Qinghe College. You can't accuse a good person." Before he could finish his words, his jaw was removed. He was silent after that.

"Watch out, don't let him spread false information."

Several people grabbed him and ran away.

As the night fell, the commotion in Yi Garden still alarmed the entire Mo City. All the military camps in Mo City and its surrounding areas were mobilized to capture the murderer.

The news of Lu Gongqing's death has not spread yet, not because he is not dead, but because his identity is too sensitive and he holds a high position of power. The officials of Mo City don't know what to do for a while.

This is horrible.

It's incredible.

The assassin was able to be in Mo City without being noticed.

"There are more than 30 suspects in Yiyuan Garden, and we don't know how many are on the run!"

"The soldiers in Mocheng have been mobilized and have already started searching. I found three more people here."

Messages were constantly being passed back and forth.

"Has anyone been caught?"

"He strangled two people and captured another alive. He also said that he was a student of Qinghe Academy."

With so few people, it seems that the number is not enough.

The officials of Mo City gathered in the hall of Yi Garden, all of them were talking with sullen faces. Liang Jingping sat beside the desk, holding his forehead with his hand, looking like he had a headache.

"Catch him alive, catch him alive." He slammed the table angrily.

"Sir, it's not that we don't want to capture him alive, but the criminal is very violent and looks like a desperate fugitive. A soft policy won't work."

Prefect Liang held his forehead again and asked, "Have you found out the origins of this group of people?"

"The clues are too mixed. The clothes, accents, weapons, etc. are all a mess. It seems like a group of people from all over the world have gathered together."

"Oh, by the way, the one we caught claimed to be a student of Qinghe Academy."

When Prefect Liang heard this, he sat up immediately. "Student? What's your name?"

"Yes, I heard they were caught in the bushes outside. What do you think these students want to do by running here in the middle of the night instead of writing poetry?"

Prefect Liang wanted to say something, but was interrupted by another official's voice. "Speaking of which, a group of students gathered near Yi Garden yesterday, and almost caused a death!"

"Is it so serious? What happened?"

"It is said that a group of students held a poetry gathering in the town of Yiyuan at night. Two students even quarreled over a bet at the poetry gathering and even used weapons!"

"Oh, you're talking about this. I have some news. I heard that a young man named Yingge had a fight with the younger generation of the Chen family, and the son-in-law of the Liu family, Yingge, was seriously injured."

When Governor Liang heard this, his expression changed instantly.

"Is this a coincidence, or is someone doing it on purpose..." Everyone knows what is going to be said.

Coincidence? Are these students related to Lu Gongqing? All the officials present looked at Liang Zhifu. At this time, a military officer strode in and heard this, and then he said, "It's a coincidence."

"General Liao, can you tell me what's going on?"

"I happened to be at the scene when the incident happened. I personally led the troops to search the area. They had problems as soon as I left. I should have dispersed them if I had known earlier."

His voice was hoarse after searching all night.

Governor Liang asked seriously, "What is going on?"

General Liao, who was tired from a night of work, did not answer the question of Liang Zhifu. Instead, he drank some cold water on the side and then said, "That Yingge made a bet with Chen Junhe of the Chen family. The cause of this matter was the gambling song on the Dragon Boat Festival. The young master of the Chen family lost and was not convinced. He said that they agreed to meet at the city gate this evening. I guess it was because of this. He lost before and was not convinced. Now he wants to bet again. As a result, he lost again. The two of them had a dispute while cleaning the room and then went to war."

"Weapons, what weapons?" asked Prefect Liang.

"It's not a weapon! It's an iron rod." It was about this long, with sharp points at both ends. General Liao used his arms to gesture. The servants of the young master of the Chen family said that Yingge was the first to attack, and the younger generation of the Chen family was trying to protect themselves. The Liu family was also present at the time and wanted to beat the young master of the Chen family to death. Fortunately, the young master of the Fu family was there to mediate, otherwise it would be another riot. This group of rich children was very noisy.

General Liao didn't know whether he had explained himself clearly, but everyone present was indeed a little confused after hearing it.

"So how is Yingge's injury?" Prefect Liang asked in a raised voice.

"I heard that the injury was very serious. He couldn't even lift his arm. The Liu family took him away to find someone to treat him."

"An arm injury at this time? Could this really be a coincidence? Why at this time?"

"It is indeed a coincidence. They agreed to meet in the evening, and the Fu family's disciple also booked the time and place long ago."

"I have also checked the authenticity of their statements. Yingge's mother said that she had an appointment with the young master of the Chen family at the city gate in the evening, but the Chen family denied it, saying that their young master was entangled by Yingge and it was not an appointment. They each have their own opinions. Yingge brought the iron stick because she has been practicing with sticks recently and she just brings it with her every day for fun."

"These things are a mess. Besides, even if they really know how to write martial arts, can they hurt Lu Gongqing?" That's true. Who is Lu Gongqing? He has guards with him wherever he goes. His martial arts skills are also very high. It is impossible for students to kill him. It's simply a joke.

I just don't know why Magistrate Liang would suspect those seniors.

Prefect Liang finally sat down and said, "Who on earth is so irritating?"

Even though these people announced the news of Lu Gongqing's death, after all, some noble families who were more well-informed still knew the general idea. This matter could not be concealed. As the night passed and the day gradually brightened outside, many people also knew what happened last night.

Su family

"It's normal to have assassins. Over the years, Lu Gongqing has killed so many other people's children. There will always be some tough people who want revenge." Old Master Su said, shaking his fan.

Several other elders of the Su family who were sitting in the pavilion nodded in praise.

"Over the years, wherever he went, either the families of other families were annihilated or their families were destroyed. In this Great Zhou, there are so many people who want to drink his blood and eat his flesh, not to mention the assassinations."

"After so many years of assassinations, even with the most rigorous defenses, there are still failures."

"If you walk by the river often, you will definitely get hurt."

"However, the biggest problem at the moment is not this incident, but that it happened in Mo City. I'm afraid that Mo City is going to be in big trouble."

"After all, this Lu Gongqing has an extraordinary status in the court!"

"Speaking of which, I'm afraid the Chen family is in trouble this time."

"Speaking of which, their family has another problem."

"Oh, tell me!"

"I heard that the Liu family's son-in-law was beaten, and the beating was not light."

Old Master Su paused while fanning himself. "Why is there a child named Yingge?"

"Yes!" the man replied.

"When did this happen?"

"It seems that on the day when the accident happened in Yiyuan, they were in the town near Yiyuan."

"This is too much of a coincidence." Old Master Su became excited.

These things cannot be compared with what happened during the time of Lu Gongfa. The things that were found out were relatively simple.

"Qinghe and Qingyu have already gone to Liu's house." He called a servant and said, "Go and see if they are back."

The servant took the order and ran away immediately, followed by Su Qinghe soon after.

"Did the Liu family's son-in-law really get beaten to death?"

Su Qinghe bowed to the elders present and said, "No, no, he is just seriously injured, but his life is not in danger for the time being."

Old Master Su breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's good that everything is alright."

"I am already half buried in the ground, and I hate to see young people get into trouble."

"Where's the injury?"

Su Qinghe paused for a moment and said, "It's the right arrow that went through here. It hurts so much when I press it."

You can imagine how painful it is.

“That’s indeed a bit heavy.”

"It was because of a bet between two people that they lost."

Some elders only know about the Dragon Boat Festival race songs but are unaware of the subsequent events.

"This was said by Fu Zijing. He was present both times."

"This Chen family is not doing well. They have already lost in transportation, and they can't afford to lose."

Did the Chen family apologize? How are they?

"No, they said Yingge was the first to attack, and it was his obsession with Chen Junhe that led to his injury, and they were very tough."

"This kind of attitude is something the Chen family can do in the future."

"It's unreasonable to accuse others of being obsessed after hurting them."

Su Qinghe was silent for a while. "There are more."

His words successfully aroused the doubts of several other elders.

"In fact, from the beginning, we asked Chen Junhe to go to Yi Garden, not to gamble on poetry."

Yiyuan, the eyes of several masters were stern. Yiyuan was not peaceful last night. They were actually there? This is not a small matter!

"Last night, Yingge asked Chen Junhe to take her to Yi Garden to meet someone. That person was her maid who she had played with since she was a child. That's why Chen Junhe took the initiative to go with the elders of the Chen family last night. I suspect he took Yingge there disguised as a servant last night."

The old man of the Su family looked uncertain, "These kids are too playful..."

Is that a place that young people like them can go to easily? Something happened to Lu Gongqing last night. If they get involved in this, they would be considered to have lost some skin.

"So when Yingge asked Chen Junhe for help yesterday, Chen Junhe was unwilling, and then Yingge said that he would have another poetry bet with him, and that's how he met Fu Zijing."

Old Master Su said, "How do you know this so clearly? Did they tell you in person?"

The Liu and Chen families would never voluntarily reveal such details even if they were beaten to death.

"No, this is just my guess. The adults of the two families probably don't know about it. A sister of Yingge's neighbor was selected, and Yingge even asked me for the news. Based on my understanding of Yingge, she feels that she will not give up. I also guess that she may ask the young master of the Chen family for help, and the exchange condition is probably a bet."

"I originally thought they would just help pass something, but I didn't expect them to be so bold."

Old Master Su clapped his hands and said, "What's the matter? They are just two mischievous kids. Why do you still suspect that they killed Lu Gongqing?"

Everyone else laughed. How could this be possible?

"But if someone falsely accuses someone, they will be taken in for questioning."

"It's easy to find a pretext to accuse someone of something. If you say that, our entire Mo City is in trouble."

As he was speaking, a man who looked like a butler came in hurriedly.
