The entire Marquis's mansion regrets it? Too late, their little one has become the darling of t

But he is not alone.

He brought Chen Dongxi with him.

There was also an elderly couple from Chenjia Village.

"Father, when are we leaving the city?" Chen Dongxi looked up at Yu Kangjing.

Their current identities are father and daughter.

"Leave early tomorrow morning," Yu Kangjing replied gently.

"Okay." Chen Dongxi nodded.

Using Chen Dahu's identity, Yu Kangjing took Chen Dongxi and Chen He to a foot inn, where they booked a large dormitory room and planned to spend the night in the city.

Shi Qing never expected that the person he was looking for would be so audacious as to have infiltrated the city.

Yu Kangjing stood next to Chen He, and then let the little girl stand next to the old woman, Wu.

They were just like any ordinary family of four, huddled together.

As soon as Yu Kangjing closed his eyes, he recalled the scene of Chen Dahu dying in front of him.

……

That night, Chen Dahu pretended to escort Yu Kangjing up the mountain, but the officials searched for him for a long time without finding him.

So he went back to his house and waited for the rabbit to run into the tree stump.

Chen Dahu stayed on the mountain for a day and a night. When he returned home and saw so many government officials, he was shocked.

"Where did that person go?" Zhao Jia, the head constable, held a knife to Chen Dahu's neck.

“I’m telling you, he’s a fugitive, and harboring a fugitive is a serious crime. If you don’t tell the truth, I’ll kill your daughter.”

"Sir, I really didn't know he was a fugitive. If I had known, I wouldn't have dared to accept his money even if you gave me a hundred lives," Chen Dahu said with a mournful face as he handed over the silver.

“He gave me silver and asked me to take him to another mountain. I returned after I finished, and I don’t know where he went. Sir, please spare me this time.”

"We searched the mountains all night and didn't see anyone. How dare you lie?" Zhao Jia roared, then gave his subordinate Ma Wu a look.

Another knife was immediately placed against Chen Dongxi's neck.

Chen Dongxi burst into tears.

“If you don’t tell the truth, your daughter will die.” He deliberately tried to trick Chen Dahu into saying this.

When Chen Dahu saw that his daughter was in danger, he panicked.

Chen Dongxi burst into tears: "Father, please don't..."

Upon hearing this, Chen Dahu's heart tightened, fearing that his daughter would reveal Yu Kangjing's hiding place, and he immediately rushed over and hugged her.

"Don't be afraid, your father won't abandon you. These officials are all reasonable..."

Unexpectedly, before he could finish speaking, the knife that was originally held to Chen Dongxi's neck pierced his heart.

Chen Dongxi watched helplessly as her father collapsed in front of her.

"Are you crazy? Why did you kill him before I finished asking my question?" Zhao Jia kicked Ma Wu over in anger.

Ma Wu was somewhat flustered and got up from the ground, awkwardly trying to defend himself.

"When I saw him lunge at me, I thought he was going to grab the knife, so my hand started to shake."

Zhao Jia glared at him fiercely, then slapped Chen Dongxi with the back of his knife.

"Hey, little girl, do you know where your father hid the people yesterday?"

Chen Dongxi stared blankly at his father standing in front of him, as if he had been frightened into a daze.

Upon seeing this, Zhao Jia spat and cursed, "Damn it, what bad luck."

Then he called his brothers to leave.

"Let's go, over the mountains and ridges, keep searching. Damn it. Is that guy surnamed Yu some kind of pangolin? He can hide so well." Zhao Jia cursed and led his men away.

Only after they left did Chen Dongxi's unfocused gaze finally refocus.

She threw herself onto her father's body and wailed.

"Father, waaaaaah!"

Yu Kangjing hurriedly crawled out of the cellar. The moment he saw Chen Dahu's corpse, his face turned deathly pale, and then his eyes turned bloodshot.

They had only met once, yet he was willing to give his life for him.

He knelt down on the ground with a thud and kowtowed three times to Chen Dahu.

“Brother Da Hu, I will remember your kindness for the rest of my life. I will take care of your daughter for the rest of my life and raise her as my own daughter.”

Chen Dongxi had cried until her voice was hoarse and she could barely speak.

Just then, the village chief rushed over and came face to face with Yu Kangjing.

When he saw Chen Dahu's corpse on the ground, his legs trembled with fear.

He quickly stepped forward and grabbed Chen Dongxi's shoulder: "Dongxi, what happened? What are those officials doing here? And who is this?"

"Waaaaah, Grandpa Village Chief, please save my father!" She threw herself at the village chief, crying even louder.

"I don't want to eat meat anymore, I just want my daddy. Waaaaah."

But she cried so hard and for so long that she accidentally fainted.

Yu Kangjing stood up, intending to carry her back to her room to rest, but the village chief stopped him.

"Speak, who exactly are you, and how did Da Hu die?" The village chief stared intently at him.

Yu Kangjing sighed and explained his origins and the reasons for his hiding place in detail.

The village chief was stunned after hearing this.

They never expected that the prefect was in cahoots with the magistrate of Qinghe County.

The mutual protection among officials has reached this point.

The village chief's expression hardened.

"You can stay at Da Hu's house to recover from your injuries. I will send someone to bring you medicine and food. I have only one request: you must bring those two corrupt officials to justice."

"And Dongxi, she is Dahu's only bloodline, you must take good care of her."

Yu Kangjing was stunned, not expecting that the village chief would be willing to help him.

"You don't want to?" Seeing that he didn't say anything, the village chief immediately glanced around at Chen Dahu's belongings and his gaze fell on the broom.

If he dared to say no, he would hit him in the face with a big broom.

Unexpectedly, Yu Kangjing's tears fell instantly.

"It's not that I'm unwilling. I'm afraid I'll implicate you all again."

"As for Xi'er, if I can't go back, take my letter to the Jing'an Marquis's residence in the capital and find the Third Madam Shen. She will take care of Xi'er for the rest of her life."

Chen Dahu's death has become a thorn in his side.

"Alright, what are you doing, a grown man and a government official, crying like this? You hide well, I'll find someone to collect Da Hu's body right now." The village chief stamped his foot and handed Chen Dongxi over to him.

Soon after, someone came to collect Chen Dahu's body.

In the following days, the village chief secretly brought him medicine and food.

Unexpectedly, the soldiers launched a surprise attack at this moment.
