Chapter 540 The Dark Alley
"Ah-"
Xia Bai'an caught off guard and sneezed loudly.
Qian Mingshu who was beside him immediately backed away and reminded: "If you catch the wind and cold, don't sleep with the girls, everyone still has to work."
"Are you worried about the girls? Are you just worried about Miss Liu?"
Xia Bai'an turned around inexplicably.
On the way she came just now, no one seemed to follow her or call her name.
This sneeze came out of nowhere.
She rubbed her nose and was about to leave when she turned her head and saw Qian Mingshu's ears were red, a tall and strong man standing in the middle of the road, looking like a shy little wife.
The corner of Xia Bai'an's mouth twitched: "I'll just make fun of you, are you still shy?"
"No!" Qian Mingshu hurriedly coughed a few times, pretending nothing happened, "Hurry up and buy jewelry, don't you have to discuss business with the boss today?"
Oops, forgot about this.
She came out just to find an excuse, and didn't even think about going over to discuss business today.
After all, Miao Linlang was always worried about Mo Che, fearing that Mo Che would beat her because of him. I only listened to Miao Linlang's words yesterday, and if I went to her today to tell her that the cooking was done properly, she would definitely not believe it, and I still had to wait for two days. Miao Linlang was afraid. I really believed her words.
Thinking of this, she was thinking about where to find a boss and put on a show.
"what--"
Screams came from the dark alley, and the two little maids with bloodstained dresses ran out in a hurry, bumping into Qian Mingshu and Xia Bai'an inadvertently.
The two staggered one by one, and then turned around, several passers-by surrounded and grabbed the two little maids.
"Why is there blood!"
"In the alley...there's a lot of blood in the alley! But I didn't see anyone, the walls were covered in blood, it was scary!"
The two servant girls looked like they were from wealthy families, and they were as timid as mice, so they carried their baskets and left one after another.
Passers-by all went to ask the government and the forbidden army to come and have a look.
Xia Bai'an was puzzled: "If you don't see a dead person, it doesn't have to be human blood. What are you afraid of?"
"Go in and see?"
Qian Mingshu was also a little curious.
The two looked at each other and walked inside side by side.
A strong smell of blood came over his face, Qian Mingshu subconsciously covered his mouth and nose, and grabbed Xia Bai'an: "Something is not right, let's not go in rashly."
"There is a sound of breathing."
Xia Bai'an dragged Qian Mingshu with his backhand and walked inside.
Passers-by outside also followed in.
Xia Bai'an took a closer look, his eyes were slightly cold.
Behind him, Qian Mingshu covered his mouth and almost spat out, and the passers-by behind were so frightened that their legs weakened, and they rushed out with hands and feet, shouting: "No...not human!"
"They're not human anymore! Ugh—"
The sound of retching came one after another.
Xia Bai'an stepped into this pool of blood, looking at the scattered pieces of meat at his feet, his heart sank slightly.
It is not human.
These lumps of flesh and blood can no longer be called human beings.
She stared at each wound timidly, like cutting tofu, cutting open the human body flatly and sharply. Some human bones were still barely connected, but every head was missing.
But... the wound on the neck is not smooth, but pitted.
In this way, it seems that two groups of people did it at different times.
"Who did this group of people provoke?" Xia Bai'an couldn't help lowering his head, wondering where the breathing sound he felt just now came from.
Ruthlessly, her eyes fell on a sack of sackcloth that was shaking in the corner.
She stepped forward in two steps at a time, opened the sackcloth bag, and walked straight towards her face with one hand.
Xia Bai'an was startled, but had no time to escape.
At the very moment, a figure fell from the wall and kicked the entire sack into the air.
The sack slammed into a piece of dry wood in the corner, and there was only time to let out an exclamation.
And Xia Bai'an was slightly stunned, and saw the pattern outlined with gold thread on the sleeve robe in front of him.
look familiar!
The next moment, the wide cuff hit her directly on the back of the hand like a reprimand.
Xia Bai'an jumped: "What are you doing!"
"Without vigilance, you also come to mix in the excitement of life and death."
Mo Che looked back at her, his eyes seemed to have a cold light, "Take her out."
"Aren't you sleeping at home?" Xia Bai'an asked, while continuing to walk towards the sack, "I'm going to check on the situation of the living people, maybe I can do something to your imperial army... Well, you hurt me."
Her wrist was suddenly grabbed by Mo Che.
Mo Che pulled her back to the original place: "What if that person is a fallen thief? This matter has nothing to do with you, get out of here."
The atmosphere around Mo Che was so cold that it was almost suffocating.
Xia Bai'an stroked the back of his neck in a daze, but he couldn't feel any tingling pain.
Without blackening, is he just purely angry?
When Xia Bai'an was puzzled, several of Mo Che's subordinates had already kindly pushed her, Qian Mingshu and others out.
The doctor who was raised in the Forbidden Army Garden stepped into it, and after a while, a bloody sack was carried out, and the brute under Mo Che stood up and shouted loudly.
"It's all gone! What's the excitement!"
Seeing that the reckless man was as tall as a mountain and his voice was as loud as a bell, everyone retreated one after another.
Xia Bai'an firmly grabbed Qian Mingshu's arm, and spoke in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
"Just now, the person in the sack was still alive."
"what?"
Qian Mingshu subconsciously raised his voice.
Mo Che also came out from the darkness. His blade was stained with blood, and he glanced at Xia Bai'an lightly: "It is indeed a thief, and it has been dealt with. There are many troubles in the capital, you take her back."
The last sentence was obviously addressed to Qian Mingshu.
In an alley, the walls were covered with blood, the ground was covered with severed limbs, and all the heads were missing. The only living person was also a thief, who was beheaded by a knife.
It is indeed frightening that this kind of thing happened at the feet of the emperor.
Qian Mingshu didn't doubt that he was there, and hurriedly dragged Xia Baian back, but Xia Baian looked at Mo Che blankly.
wrong.
Nothing is right.
There were several dead, and the only one was alive. Regardless of the bandit or the victim, they should be escorted to the government for interrogation.
Mo Che, how can he arbitrarily conclude that that person is a thief who took his life?
Xia Bai'an really wanted to ask if there was any hidden secret in it, but remembered that Mo Che didn't seem to want him to know too much, so he just gritted his teeth in the end and followed Qian Mingshu's footsteps into the crowd.
The two went to Xiafu, but they met Uncle Zhou who was setting up a stall on the way.
"Miss Xia, someone was looking for you in the market just now, but I couldn't find you anywhere."
"Who?" Xia Bai'an raised his head suddenly.
"It's Boss Miao of Jinshang Pavilion, and I'm very anxious to ask you to visit her if you have time."
After Uncle Zhou helped pass the message, he hurried back to look at the stall.
Qian Mingshu also laughed: "You have a good relationship with these bosses, and you have to find them after you put down the stall to spread the word."
"After all, I give advice to them." Xia Bai'an thought for a while, "Let's go to the Jinshang Pavilion."
Miao Linlang was anxious to find her, could something have happened?
