Reborn, the daughter of the Marquisate went crazy

Jiazhou Prefecture City.

The night was as cool as water, and the moonlight shone through the sparse clouds, falling on the bluestone road, casting a silvery white shadow.

Han Jue was wearing night clothes and a black towel on his face. He jumped lightly and entered a guest room on the second floor of an inn.

The room was simply furnished. A woman was sitting at the table with her head lowered. She was concentrating on sewing a swaddling cloth in the dim candlelight.

Hearing the voice, the woman looked up. It was Meiying, who had sued Shen He in court that day. Seeing Han Jue, she didn't panic at all. Instead, she slowly breathed a sigh of relief and whispered, "Master, you're finally here!"

Han Jue nodded slightly and placed a heavy bundle on the table, which made a dull thud. He then pulled out two pieces of paper from his pocket and gently placed them on the bundle. He said in a deep voice, "This is the agreed thirty taels of silver and the new indenture for you and your son. Without further ado, you shall leave tonight!"

Meiying's eyes flashed with curiosity, and she asked cautiously, "Sir, who exactly is that Shen He? I falsely accused him and deceived Lord Lu. If they knew the truth, I..."

Han Jue's eyes suddenly became extremely cold, and he interrupted Meiying coldly: "These are not things you should ask about. Curiosity kills the cat!"

He pointed at the silver and the indenture on the table and said calmly, "Hurry up and take the child and these things away from Jiazhou. Never come back, otherwise..."

As he spoke, he pulled out a cold dagger and suddenly put it against Meiying's neck, saying jokingly, "Perhaps, I have changed my mind. It would be better to kill her and silence her!"

Meiying felt the chill on her neck and shivered. She said in a trembling voice, "Master... I will leave tonight. Please let me go..."

Han Jue glanced at Meiying indifferently, suddenly retracted the dagger, and said nonchalantly: "I'll give you a cup of tea." After that, he sat lazily on the chair, playing with the dagger in his hand.

Meiying felt as if she had been pardoned and hurriedly turned around to pack her things. She hurriedly stuffed all her clothes and valuables into a large bag, picked up the baby who was sleeping soundly on the bed, and ran towards the door as if escaping.

"Wait!" Han Jue's cold voice came faintly.

Meiying's body froze, and she froze in place. She looked at Han Jue nervously, afraid that he would change his mind and attack her again.

Han Jue slowly stood up, walked to the window in two or three steps, and gestured outside. A moment later, a man in black flew into the room and landed steadily in front of Han Jue.

This person was one of the two guards of Chu Yuncang who came to Jiazhou with Han Jue. They were here to work for Xie Qingli and obeyed Han Jue's orders.

Han Jue pointed at Meiying and whispered, "Send them and their son out of Jiazhou, the farther the better."

The man nodded slightly, hugged the stunned Meiying, and whispered, "Don't make a sound." Then he flashed and climbed out of the window, disappearing into the night with Meiying and the baby.

Han Jue turned around and sat back at the table. He picked up a pen and paper and proudly wrote down on the letter paper how he found a mother and son, how he instructed them to sue Shen He, and how he guided Lu Xiu Zhang to investigate Shen He. He wrote five pages before stopping.

He carefully folded the letter and placed it in a sealed envelope. He imagined how Xie Qingli would praise him for his cleverness and wit when he saw the letter. The corners of his mouth lifted unconsciously...

……

As the sun sets in the west, the sky gradually becomes tinged with a warm orange.

Xie Qingli and his group turned a corner and saw a wide road ahead, which opened up their view.

Chu Yuncang rode beside Xie Qingli's carriage, his eyes filled with joy as he said softly, "Li'er, the end of this road is Lingzhou City. There's no need to rush tonight. Let's rest up in the inn in the city for the night."

Xie Qingli gently lifted the carriage curtain, looked at the hazy city in the distance, and replied softly, "Okay!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she heard a commotion coming from the nearby mountain. Turning around, she saw a group of people coming down the mountain road.

The leader rode a tall horse, its back laden with bundles and bags. The others followed on foot, each holding something in their hands: some clutched chickens, others led sheep, and even some carried pots on their backs. They chatted and laughed, their faces brimming with excitement.

Xie Qingli frowned slightly, feeling confused. There was no market on the mountain, so where did these people get their things?

She looked closely and suddenly discovered that on the leader's horse's back, among the pile of packages and bags, there were several human heads hanging!!!

Blood was still dripping from the heads of those people, and droplets of blood fell on the road, but in a blink of an eye, they were crushed into the mud by the ruthless footsteps of the people and disappeared completely.

Chu Yuncang and others also noticed something unusual, but before they could take any action, the people were already looking at them.

The leader's face was filled with excitement as he drove his horse to a gallop in front of the carriage. He pulled the reins and greedily looked at the steed under Chu Yuncang and the carriage, which was obviously worth a lot of money. Finally, his eyes fell on Xie Qingli's fair and beautiful face, and a gleam of evil flashed in his eyes.

He turned and shouted to the people behind him, "Come here quickly, young men! We've got some great luck today!"

The group of people came running over, their eyes all falling on Xie Qingli and the others.

The leader whistled and plotted loudly: "Men, let's seize those two horses and that carriage and take them to the city to exchange for silver, which will be enough for us to set up camp on Longhu Mountain. Kill or sell those two pretty boys and the old man. As for the young lady in the carriage, I want to capture her and make her my wife..."

Chu Yuncang and Xie Qingli were both shocked. They had never expected that in broad daylight, these people would dare to rob and kill so brazenly.

Liuguang's eyes were cold and stern. These minions naturally didn't need anyone else's help. With a flash of his body, he was in front of the leader's horse, and with a light leap, he kicked the man off his horse. The man fell heavily to the ground, howling in pain.

But Liuguang did not give him a chance to breathe. Instead, he drew out the long sword from his waist with a "swish". The sword energy whizzed past the man's head and cut off the bun on his head.

The man was so frightened that he held his head and curled up on the ground, trembling. The rest of the people were stunned. They stood there in shock, their legs trembling. Even the chickens in their arms ran away with a "cluck, cluck, cluck" sound, and they didn't even have the energy to chase them.

Liuguang carefully examined the heads on the horses. There were five of them, some young and some old, all men. Their faces were distorted, their eyes wide open, as if they had suffered great pain in their lives.

The sword flashed like lightning, pointing directly at the leader's throat. He asked sternly, "Who are those heads, and why are you killing them? Tell the truth!"

The leader shuddered all over. He lowered his head and answered hesitantly, "Those...those are the evil people from Taiping Temple. We...we kill them to enforce justice on behalf of Heaven and eliminate harm for the people!"

The rest of the people nodded: "Yes, we are eradicating the evil and eliminating harm for the people..."
