After Durian left the imperial city, he did not go to the Qin Mansion to find Qin Jiu as promised. Instead, he ordered someone to drive a carriage out of the city from Xuande Gate.
The carriage drove along the official road into the city for a while, then turned west at a fork. After driving for half an hour, it arrived at the western suburbs of Lijing City.
Durian got off the carriage, ordered Yingying and his entourage to wait there, and walked forward on foot.
In front of you is a large hilly land covered with shrubs and knee-high grass. Passing through the hilly land, I saw a large locust forest. It was already autumn, and the leaves had turned yellow and were swaying on the branches, making it look a bit desolate and lonely. Graves that are much smaller than the hills are scattered in the woods. There are no tombstones in front of the graves. Most of them are poor people and some unknown wandering beggars, as well as prisoners who committed serious crimes and whose entire families were implicated.
This is the mass grave in the west of Lijing City. The Bai family committed crimes back then and they were all buried here. Autumn insects chirped miserably in the grass, and occasionally rabbits poked their heads among the graves, seemingly not afraid of people.
The durian stood in front of the large graves for a long time. He didn't know which grave was the burial place of Bai Suxuan and which grave was the burial place of his parents. He could only prostrate himself in front of the large graves. He took out a pot of sake from his arms, opened the lid, and opened the pot. It was poured over and sprinkled into the soil.
Ever since he knew that Bai Suxuan was Sister Xuan, ever since he knew about the relationship between his parents and the Bai family, he had always wanted to come here to worship. But he forced himself to hold it back, because he knew that the injustice had not been avenged and he had no shame in coming to see them. He had always hoped that he could use his ability to retry the Bai family case, but he never thought that even if the evidence was found, the retrial would still not be successful. This made him extremely sad and confused. The hope he had always had in his heart was suddenly shattered, and despair hit him like darkness.
It was clearly daytime, the sky above his head was white, and the sun was shining brightly, but he felt that there was darkness in front of him.
Durian stood in front of the grave, feeling sour in his heart.
There was a rustling sound in the grass next to the grave. Durian was startled and looked intently. A dirty wild dog that came from nowhere ran out with a piece of white bone in its mouth. It was unclear whether the bone was a human bone or an animal bone.
Durian¡¯s eyes felt hot for a while, but he held back the tears that were about to burst out. He knelt on the ground and bowed a few times, then stood up and left decisively. The dark eyes that were originally a little confused now have a bit of determination. Although this road is difficult to walk, he will go on even if he has to go through thorns and thorns, even if he gives everything. He could not allow his relatives to bury their bones in the wilderness and be eaten by wild dogs. I can't stand that no matter how much I miss you, I can't come to worship openly.
Durian left quickly, fearing that if he looked back again, he would burst into tears. He was walking very fast, and there was a rustling sound behind the mound beside him. He thought it was still the wild dog and didn't pay attention to it. But there was a sudden pain in his neck, and his vision suddenly went dark. Durian's body swayed a few times, and before he finally passed out, he caught a glimpse of a figure behind him.
Cherry and the attendants were still two mounds away from here. Durian opened his mouth, but couldn't make any sound at all. He fell to the ground unconscious.
An hour later, Qin Jiu got the news. At that moment, her mind buzzed, and she felt a throbbing pain in her heart. If something happened to Durian, how could she bear it?
Cherry and several followers knelt on the ground, not even daring to breathe. These followers were all selected by Qin Jiu from the Suyi Bureau, and they must protect Durian with their own lives. But maybe because Durian has been safe for a long time and there is no danger, they actually lowered their vigilance. At this moment , all knew that they had made a big mistake, and did not dare to defend themselves.
Cherry fell to her knees on the ground, a deep look of despair in her black eyes. She knelt down again and again towards Qin Jiu, her bun was all messed up, and she looked miserable.
"Your Excellency asked us to wait for him there and didn't let us follow him. How could we have imagined that someone would attack you there"
"Stop talking!" Qin Jiu said coldly, a sharp cold look flashed in his black eyes.
She could see Cherry's guilt, but at this moment, it was useless to feel guilty. What needs to be done now is to find the durian. Since the man robbed the durian and did not kill the durian on the spot, this means that they will not kill the durian for the time being, because it is obviously much easier to kill on the spot than to rob the durian.
"Wu Gou, go mobilize the sect's forces in Lijing. I want to get news from Lord Qin before it gets dark tonight." Qin Jiu said lightly. Although his tone was light, he had a majesty that could not be rejected.
Wu Gou agreed and went out.
Qin Jiu slowly leaned back on the chair, with a stern expression on the corners of her eyes and brows that could not be concealed.
She already knows what happened in the court today. In fact, she has some understanding of the emperor's uncle. When he was young, he was talented and wise, able to observe the sufferings of the people and know how to do good things for others. As he grew older, he became more suspicious and distrustful of the people around him. Otherwise, my aunt would not have ended up like that. He seems to be kind to others, but deep down deep down, he has a certain tendency to retaliate against others. However, he still has some advantages, and he is not so confused that his grudges are unclear, but why is he unwilling to agree to retry the case? Qin Jiu thought that there must be some inside story that she didn't know about.
Regarding Emperor Qing¡¯s reaction, it is understandable that Durian is disappointed. However, he impulsively went out of the city to worship, so that he suffered such an accident, which made Qin Jiu feel extremely uncomfortable. Such an accident could have been avoided if she had thought of it earlier.
Who is it? I want to take action against Lian'er.
Qin Jiufeng narrowed her eyes slightly. This incident could prove that her guess in prison was correct. Su Qing is in jail, but there are people more powerful than him behind this mess.
Qin Jiu waited in the mansion for a day, and when it was getting dark, he finally got the news that Wu Gou had brought back.
What Wu Gou brought was a letter, which was sent by a child when they were searching on the outskirts of the city. The child asked him: "Are you Wu Gou of Tianchen Sect?" Wu Gou said yes. The child handed him the letter and told him that the letter was given to the leader of their Tianchen Sect, Qin Jiu. At this time, the letter was placed in front of Qin Jiu. The letter was made of kraft paper, and the cover was stained with a little blood. Qin Jiu stared at the cover of the letter and was a little afraid to open it.
No matter how hard you try, there will always be oversights.
Durian¡¯s performance in the court must have attracted the attention of some people. Those who did not want the Bai family case to be retried would kill him.
Qin Jiu closed her eyes and finally stretched out her trembling hand to open the letter.
There were only a few numbers on it, saying that she was asked to go to the Yuelai Restaurant in the west of the city alone in Shenshi. If she was late to burn the incense, one of the durian's fingers would be chopped off. If she took someone else there, the durian's head would be removed. After Qin Jiu read the letter, the heart that had been hanging in her throat slowly fell. Fortunately, from the letter, it seems that he is still safe at this time.
Qin Jiu checked the time, and it was still more than half an hour before Shenshi. From here to the west of the city, it takes an hour by carriage. If you ride a horse, you can go faster, but if you ride slowly, you may not be able to make it in time.
Qin Jiu burned the letter under the candlelight, put on a hollow incense ball, and said a few words to Loquat. He took no one with him, so he went to the stable, took the horse out, and rode the horse out of the house.
Yuelai Restaurant is located on the west side of the main road into the city, facing a maple forest. At this time, the maple leaves have turned red, and from outside the wine shop, you can see the fiery red in the forest. This wine shop is not an inn, it just provides wine and food to the guests. The wine shop is not big. Although it is late, there are many customers.
When Qin Jiu arrived at the wine shop, it was only one stick of incense away from reaching Shenshi. The person behind the scenes calculated the time so accurately that she didn't even have time to think about countermeasures, consult with people, or talk to people on the road.
Qin Jiu took out the handkerchief from her sleeve, wiped the sweat from her forehead, then sat down at the table by the window, and ordered a plate of peanuts, a plate of dried tofu, and a pot of sake. While she ate slowly, she secretly looked at the customers in the store. After a while, a man with a knife on his waist and a scar on his face walked up to her and said roughly: "Master Jiu is so excited, come with me!"
Qin Jiu sat still, squinting coldly and saying, "Lian'er is really in your hands?"
The man impatiently took out something from his arms and threw it on the table with a bang.
This is a sachet embroidered with a big white goose. Qin Jiu recognized it as Shang Chuchu¡¯s birthday gift to Durian. She narrowed her eyes, reached out to pick up the sachet, and said coldly: "Let's go!"
There was a carriage outside the wine shop. The man touched Qin Jiu's acupuncture points, covered her head with a black cloth bag, and then drove the carriage quickly on the official road. Although Qin Jiu's acupuncture points were tapped, his consciousness was still clear. She felt that the carriage seemed to have left the flat official road and was walking on the mountain road. But because the carriage was going around and around, she didn't know which direction she was going. Qin Jiu felt that the carriage drove on the road for a long time before finally stopping.
The scarred man came over and opened the curtain of the carriage, tied Qin Jiu's hands behind her back, then opened her sealed acupuncture points, and said to Qin Jiu in a rough voice: "We're here, come down!"
Qin Jiu stretched her almost numb legs and walked slowly out of the car. Someone had been waiting there for a long time. When they saw her coming down, they stepped forward and escorted her forward. The road under his feet was uneven, and Qin Jiu guessed that this might be in the mountains. She guessed right. When someone took off the black bag on her head, her eyes suddenly lit up.
Qin Jiu quickly glanced around and found that this place felt a bit familiar. After thinking about it carefully, she remembered it. This was the village where she and Yan Yu were kidnapped by bandits. It was here that she met Mrs. Yazhai, who couldn't play the piano, and played her Yu Lou Chun into a erotic song.
Although the place was an old one, when Qin Jiu glanced at the cold eyes of the man in black leading the middle, she knew that the people here were no longer the same gang of bandits.
