"Quick, go and inform the emperor's grandson and the others."

Even if he didn't go to the charity hall, He Bai realized that this matter must be very serious.

He immediately turned around and ran towards the county government office.

"Damn, these thieves are really thoughtful."

Zhu Ming and others gathered in a circle, all with annoyed looks on their faces.

They didn't expect that the traces here had been cleaned up so cleanly.

After investigating for a long time, they only came to one conclusion.

This is not the scene of the crime, but merely a place where the bodies are hidden.

This also means that the information here is quite limited, even less than that of those speechless corpses.

"Let's go."

Zhu Yunwen shook his head, thinking there was no need to read on, and spoke in a deep voice.

The others also nodded, agreeing with Zhu Yunwen's statement.

Several people turned around together and walked down the mountain.

"Your Highness, what's going on?"

When Chen Hong and others saw that Zhu Ming and others were about to leave, they hurried over and asked with a flattering smile.

"nothing."

Zhu Yunwen shook his head, said nothing more, and just continued walking down.

Chen Hong didn't dare to say anything, as she was rejected by the crowd. She could only laugh a few times to cover up her embarrassment and followed them.

"careful!"

As they were walking, Xu Miaojin suddenly spoke again and knocked Zhu Ming to the ground.

At the same time, there was a sound of bowstring.

An arrow flew over their heads and hit the tree beside them.

"There are assassins!"

Chen Hong saw Zhu Ming and others being assassinated and immediately shouted.

The yamen runners on guard around immediately became alert and began searching everywhere.

The assassin saw that his attack failed and knew that it would be difficult to succeed, so he turned around and ran without hesitation.

However, it startled a flock of flying birds, which immediately caught Zhu Ming and the others' attention. Without waiting for Chen Hong and the others, they immediately chased after them.

In order to assassinate them, the assassin must act alone so that he can hide.

They are all quite skilled, so they naturally have the confidence to catch up.

Chen Hong saw that Zhu Ming and his men were rushing faster than the yamen runners, and fearing that what happened just now would happen again, he hurriedly followed them with his men.

Zhu Ming and his men followed the direction in which the bird was startled and soon saw the figure of the assassin.

Carrying a bow and arrow on his back, he walked briskly in the dense forest.

They could only chase from a distance but could never get close.

The few of them ran further and further away, and gradually there was no road under their feet, so they had to slow down.

The assassin did not dare to relax and could only run faster.

Seeing that the distance they had finally closed was widened again, Zhu Ming and others began to get anxious.

This is a clue that we found with great difficulty, we can't just let it get away.

Until the assassin stepped on empty air, his body tilted and he almost fell down, but he quickly stabilized himself.

However, he was obviously affected by the missed step and his legs and feet began to have difficulty moving.

Zhu Ming and others were then able to close the distance with the assassin again.

Seeing that it was now difficult to shake off the pursuers behind him, the assassin simply stopped and looked back at Zhu Ming.

Without saying a word, he pulled out a dagger from his arms and stabbed himself in the chest.

As long as he died, Zhu Ming and his men would not be able to get any clues even if they caught up with him.

Seeing that the assassin wanted to commit suicide, Zhu Ming and his companions became extremely anxious and could not help but quicken their pace.

Whoosh!

A small voice sounded.

A cold light suddenly flashed behind them.

The assassin who originally wanted to commit suicide seemed to be stabbed by something. His body froze and then he fell straight to the side.

Zhu Ming and others turned back in surprise and looked in the direction where the cold light had flashed.

Mu Ruanjun was holding a blowpipe in his arms.

The one who just stopped the assassin was Mu Ruanjun.

Noticing the gazes of Zhu Ming and others, Mu Ruanjun just raised his head and smiled softly.

She had no special skills and was frail and could not keep up with Zhu Ming and the others.

But there are still some cards.

"Let's go."

As she spoke, she slowly walked towards the fallen assassin.

The assassin fell to the ground, unable to move, having been pierced by a silver needle in an acupuncture point.

Looking at Zhu Ming walking over, he was unable to do anything and could only glare at them unwillingly.

No matter how much I planned, I didn't expect that among these imperial grandchildren, there would be someone with such ability.

It's really a mistake.

"Your Highness, ma'am."

Chen Hong and the yamen runners also followed over at this time. Looking at the assassin who was subdued by Zhu Ming and others, he sneered a few times.

"Run, let you run."

This man wanted to assassinate the emperor's grandson and wanted him to die with him.

If anything happens to these imperial grandchildren here, given Your Majesty's temper, they will definitely be buried with him.

"Tie him up."

Fearing that the assassin might do something, Chen Hong immediately ordered the bailiffs to go forward and tie up the assassin.

Zhu Ming and others finally breathed a sigh of relief at this moment.

This trip was not in vain, at least I caught a tongue.

As long as people are there, they are not afraid of not being able to find anything.

"Take him back, we will interrogate him personally."

Zhu Yunwen took a deep breath, and his eyes softened when he looked at Chen Hong.

This person is their only clue now, so naturally they have to interrogate him personally.

"Yes."

Noticing the change in Zhu Yunwen's attitude, Chen Hong nodded happily in response.

Zhu Yunhuan looked at Mu Ruanjun, who was standing aside and trying his best to calm his breathing, and remained silent.

Mu Ruanjun was not as skilled as them, and it took him a lot of effort just to catch up with them.

It seems that he is exhausted now.

"I'll carry you."

He slowly walked in front of Mu Ruanjun and spoke meticulously.

"No...it's not necessary."

Mu Ruanjun took a step back and directly rejected Zhu Yunhuan's offer of help.

She walked to Xu Miaojin's side and took a few deep breaths.

"Don't worry, I will take care of her."

Xu Miaojin also nodded. As a good friend of Mu Ruanjun, she naturally knew Mu Ruanjun's situation best.

"grown ups!"

They had only walked a few steps down the mountain when several yamen runners came running over in a panic.

After seeing Chen Hong, he knelt down immediately.

"what's up?"

Seeing the runner so flustered, Chen Hong was afraid of losing face in front of Zhu Ming and other imperial grandchildren, so he immediately asked impatiently.

The moods of several imperial grandchildren have finally improved, so this guy must not spoil their fun.

"Sir, someone attacked the charity hall. General Hu Wei and his men... all got into trouble."

The bailiff ran out of breath, turned back and pointed down the mountain, and responded hesitantly.

This matter was of great importance, so they did not rest along the way.

"what happened?"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Ming and others immediately frowned and asked.

They knew Hu Wei's abilities.

That's why they felt confident in letting Hu Wei look after the charity hall, but they didn't expect that someone like Hu Wei would get into trouble.
