Hidden in the court

Hearing this, everyone was speechless.

"Impossible!" Boss Suo refused sternly.

The young man was about to take a step forward when he was stopped by other bandits.

"Boy, I advise you to be honest."

"Let my father go, and I will go with you." At this time, Boss Suo's daughter Suo Wei got off the carriage and shouted. It could be seen that she was crying.

"Nonsense, go back now!"

"Miss!"

Boss Suo and the young man became excited, but one had a knife on his neck and the other was being held by someone, so neither could move.

At this time, Zhao Yao had already taken out the bounty orders from the capital and Qing'an City and compared them carefully.

……

Suo Wei had already walked up to the bandit leader, who moved his knife away, kicked Suo Boss away, and pulled Suo Wei over.

He sniffed it pervertedly and said, "It's really beautiful. Get out of the way and let us go."

"Found it, four hundred taels, it seems that I have committed a lot of sins."

Then he took out a bow and arrow, drew the bow and put the arrow on it.

I can't remember how long it has been since I shot at a target that doesn't move.

"Whoosh-"

An arrow popped out from the bandit leader's forehead, which was very scary.

There was a big hole at the back of her head, and an unknown mixture of red and white dripped down the back of her neck onto Suo Wei's head. The warm feeling scared her so much that she collapsed on the ground.

The bandit leader fell down, and everyone saw Zhao Yao drawing the bow on the other side of the carriage.

The bandit leader's attention was completely focused on the confrontation just now, and he was in a tense state. In addition, Zhao Yao walked silently, so he was not discovered until he approached within fifty steps.

The escorts reacted quickly and fought back against the remaining bandits.

Zhao Yao picked up the bandit leader's knife and chopped off his head with one blow.

Looking at the headless corpse and the knife in his hand, a long-lost emotion tried to surge up.

Crouch down and start operating.

……

On the other side, the young man settled his boss and the lady.

"Xiao An, are you okay?"

Boss Suo asked with concern.

"Boss, I'm fine. It's just that I didn't protect the young lady well..."

The young man immediately waved his hands and lowered his head in shame, like a child who had done something wrong.

"Don't blame you. It's alright. It was a close call. I'm glad you're all okay."

After hearing what his boss said, he remembered Zhao Yao, his lifesaver, and said, "Boss, I'll go find that benefactor."

"Well, let's go."

Xie An came to the woods behind the carriage.

He saw the most horrific scene in his life.

With a sound of "Wow", he vomited.

I saw a naked body lying flat on the ground.

A horrifying cut extended from the chest to the stomach. Human flesh rolled out from both sides of the cut, and he could clearly see three layers. The top layer was white, which was the skin. Both in color and thickness, it looked similar to pork skin.

Next is the thickest layer of fat. The yellowish color has a viscous texture and the fat is leaking out. There is no doubt that it will drip down with just a slight pressure. At the bottom is the reddish muscle.

At this time, the ribs that were originally used to protect the internal organs were completely split.

The headless corpse was spread out, and if it weren't for the intact limbs and internal organs, others would have thought it was freshly slaughtered mutton or pork.

Zhao Yao was holding a bright red, still-vibrating component in his hand, examining it carefully.

Seeing someone, he threw the parts aside in panic. When he came to his senses, he immediately slapped himself twice, and his eyes gradually returned to normal.

Staring awkwardly at Xie An who was still retching, Xie An turned around and saw a warm smile.

A chill ran up the soles of my feet to my forehead, and I subconsciously took a half step back.

He had the same expression when he looked at the dead body just now, but he didn't look as stupid as before.

They wrapped the body and threw it into the woods.

He smiled awkwardly, "Zhao Yao, courtesy name Mingyuan, from the capital."

"My name is Xie An, a clerk at Wanbao Trading Company. Thank you for saving my daughter. Since you are going back to Beijing, why don't we go together?"

Zhao Yao thought, Wanbao Company, the richest man in the world? No wonder they were targeted by these four hundred taels. Anyway, it can only arrive tomorrow at the earliest, maybe it can avoid a lot of unnecessary trouble.

"Okay, it's better to be respectful than to obey."

Xie An brought him to Boss Suo, and kept stealing glances at Zhao Yao. Zhao Yao, who kept smiling at this moment, was clearly a handsome man.

Thinking of Zhao Yao's intoxicated expression as he held the organ and examined it, he couldn't help but shudder.

"Boss, this is Mr. Zhao, a native of Beijing. I took the initiative to invite him to come with us..." Xie An introduced Boss Suo and scratched his head embarrassedly.

"It's okay, Xiao An, even if you don't bring it up, I will still speak up."

Boss Suo was as kind as an elder and spoke to comfort him.

"Go check on Wei'er first. She's really scared."

"Okay, boss, you take a rest first."

Boss Suo looked at Zhao Yao and bowed deeply, "Thank you very much for saving my life, young master. I, Suo, would like to thank you with ten thousand gold coins."

"Mr. Suo, you are too polite. It's just a small favor. It's nothing to mention."

"I cannot repay you for saving my life. Although my abilities are limited, if you can be of any use to me in the future, please just ask. I will definitely do my best to help you."

Suo Wanjin saw that Zhao Yao was dressed in an extraordinary way and was good at martial arts. How could such a person have an ordinary background? Naturally, he did not say such a stupid thing as "grant your wish."

"To be honest, sir, I came to the capital with my family this time because I want to settle down here. Please take care of me."

Zhao Yao also understood why the richest man in the world only brought a dozen or so cars with his wealth. He must have started planning several years ago to transport his wealth to the capital bit by bit.

However, even these dozen or so trucks of valuables were still targeted by someone.

"Boss Suo is too polite. I am alone and weak, so how can I ask for your care?"

……

Xie An came to another carriage and approached Suo Wei.

"Miss, it's okay."

As soon as he finished speaking, Suo Wei turned her head, her eyes were red from crying, and there were traces of tears on her face, which made Xie An very distressed.

The next moment, Suo Wei threw herself on Xie An, hugged him and started crying.

Xie An was stunned, shivering uncomfortably, his legs tensed, and his hands seemed to be at a loss as to where to put them.

By the time my brain reacted, my cheeks started to feel hot, then quickly spread to my ears and took over my brain, leaving everything blank.

Suo Wanjin saw this scene and smiled slightly.

After a long while, Suo Wei seemed to react.

Slowly letting go of Xie An, he wiped away his tears, "Are you okay? Yuzu."

"Ah, ah... uh, no, not... hurt."

After being released, Xie An remained where he was until he was called by a nickname.

"No? Let me see." Suo Wei suddenly smiled and came closer, picked up Xie An's little face and started pinching it.

"Oh, miss, stop it. Let go of... your hand."

Suo Wanjin ignored the fight between the two and told everyone to continue on their way.

He has only one daughter, Xie An, whom he adopted when she was young. He can say that he treats her like his own daughter. Xie An is one year younger than Suo Wei. She is sensible, hardworking, and willing to learn. She has helped him a lot over the years.

In this family, he is probably the only one who considers himself an "outsider".

Suo Wanjin wanted to find a son-in-law for his daughter. If his daughter really liked Xie An, it would be easy to do. If the two were not destined to be together, he would also find a good marriage for Xie An.
