Chapter 149 I hope you can just call me Shen Yanxi
Originally, according to the master's order, they were to deal with the bodies and bloodstains, pretending that nothing happened and not letting anyone know. But who knew that just as they dealt with them, a carriage came over, and although they were not sure whether they saw it or not, they could only follow it to silence it just in case.
But they didn't expect that the woman, who looked weak, was ruthless and decisive in her attacks. Not only did they fail to kill those people, they also lost one person.
Now that the body has been exposed, wouldn't it be even more suspicious if it disappeared out of thin air?
The black-robed man narrowed his eyes and said in a cold tone, "Didn't you arrest a family of three who looked similar to them this morning?"
The masked man immediately replied, "Master, yes, that man knew some martial arts and tried to escape after fighting with us. We have killed him, and his wife and daughter have also been killed, but the body has not been disposed of yet."
"Replace the bodies with the clothes of the three of them, and then destroy their faces. Remember, the replacement bodies must have something that can prove their original identities, so that the officials won't be unable to find out their identities and come to Shen Yanxi and others to cause trouble."
"My subordinate understands."
The black-clothed man looked at the masked man and said, "I asked you to look for someone in private before, but you were so stupid as to make a noise, and only spread the news that there were bandits. Since this is the case, let's continue to make it true and make it all a robbery and murder. If there is any mistake... you don't have to save your life."
The masked man was startled and quickly knelt down and said, "Master, don't worry, there will be no problem!"
After saying that, he looked at the man in black clothes carefully again.
"Master, what should we do with the three bodies we took away?"
"Nothing was found in their luggage. Search the bodies carefully. If you still can't find what I want on them..." The black-clothed man looked fierce, "Then open their stomachs. Even if they swallowed it, you have to dig it out for me."
The masked man's hair stood up on his back, and he lowered his head and replied, "Yes, I obey your command."
……
On the other side, Jiang Suining and Shen Yanxi rode back to the place where they were just now. Shen Yanxi checked the body of the masked man and found no clues. When he stood up, he pulled out the hairpin on his chest.
"I'll return the hairpin to you after I clean it up."
"Okay." Jiang Suining nodded.
Looking at the corpse of the masked man on the ground, even though she had to fight for her life just now and had no fear at all, she couldn't help but feel a little frightened when she saw it now.
"Don't be afraid." Shen Yanxi looked at Jiang Suining, "You not only saved yourself, but also saved Biyun and the others."
"I know." Jiang Suining's expression returned to calm. Even if it happened again, she would kill this man without hesitation.
Shen Yanxi carefully put away the blood-stained hairpin, and the two of them mounted their horses and left again.
However, when passing the bend ahead, Jiang Suining suddenly noticed dark red bloodstains on the mountain wall.
She was stunned, subconsciously stopped her horse, and turned to look at Shen Yanxi's fingertips.
Shen Yanxi also stopped with her. He wanted to ask why she stopped, but when he noticed Jiang Suining's gaze towards his fingertips, Shen Yanxi understood and chuckled, "I don't have the habit of carrying hidden weapons with me, so I used some materials on hand."
He came on horseback, and before he reached the bend, he had already vaguely heard the cry of someone calling "Miss", and then he saw the chaotic scene.
Although the rain obscured his vision and he could not see the face clearly, he immediately identified it as Jiang Suining because of the frightened horse before.
At that time, he had already seen the man holding the knife, but he had no time to get close to him, so he could only use his strength to remove two pieces of rubble from the cliff.
Fortunately, although it rained heavily, he did not miss the target. Fortunately, he did not slack off when he was learning martial arts in his childhood.
Jiang Suining frowned, thinking that the two pieces of gravel that Shen Yanxi had found were actually taken down from the mountain wall. He looked carefully at Shen Yanxi's fingertips.
Because of holding the reins, some blood was oozing out of his fingertips. Jiang Suining pursed his lips and remained silent for a while. Finally, he found that there seemed to be nothing else he could say except to thank him again.
"Mr. Shen, thank you very much. If you need my help in the future, please feel free to tell me."
"What if I say I have it now?" Shen Yanxi looked at Jiang Suining with a smile, "I hope you can just call me Shen Yanxi instead of Master Shen."
Jiang Suining was stunned and looked up at Shen Yanxi, who subconsciously tightened the reins in his hands. Although he still had a smile on his face, his ears had already turned red when Jiang Suining looked at him like that.
Jiang Suining did not agree or refuse immediately, but just kept looking at Shen Yanxi.
The latter's heart beat rapidly and he suddenly felt annoyed.
Jiang Suining had just been frightened, and now all he was thinking about was returning to the imperial city to report to the authorities. He was also worried about the coachman and his maid. Would it seem rude and frivolous for him to say this at this time?
Moreover, would Jiang Suining feel that he was repaying a favor?
Shen Yanxi frowned and was about to explain and apologize, but the next moment Jiang Suining withdrew his gaze.
"It's getting late, and we still have to report to the police..." Jiang Suining paused slightly.
Looking at Jiang Suining's serious face, Shen Yanxi's heart tightened, "Miss Jiang, I..."
"So Shen Yanxi, let's hurry back to the Imperial City."
Shen Yanxi was stunned, "You are not angry?"
Jiang Suining looked at Shen Yanxi's red ears and nervous expression, and smiled, "It's just a change of name, why are you angry?"
When Shen Yanxi spoke just now, she was still wondering what it was about, but she didn't expect that he was just changing his name.
After thinking for a while, Jiang Suining said, "In that case, you don't have to call me Miss Jiang. Just call me by my name."
After saying that, Jiang Suining did not delay any longer. He said, "Let's go," and continued to ride his horse towards the direction of the imperial city.
Shen Yanxi stood there in a daze, watching Jiang Suining approaching, but was thinking in his heart, when calling out his name, was it Jiang Suining or Suining?
But no matter which one it was, Shen Yanxi's previous nervousness and annoyance were all swept away, and he rode his horse to follow in a very good mood.
After returning to the imperial city, Jiang Suining and Shen Yanxi went directly to the Dali Temple.
Three lives were involved, and the newly crowned top scholar was also involved. The Chief Justice of the Dali Temple dared not be negligent and immediately sent the bailiffs out of the city.
Taking into account that Jiang Suining was frightened and caught in the rain, the Dali Temple Minister asked about the situation briefly and then let him go, only explaining that he would need to cooperate with further inquiries.
Jiang Suining originally planned to go to Ningyue Pavilion to change her bloodstained dress before going back, so as not to scare Zheng and the others. But as soon as she left the Dali Temple, she saw Zheng and Jiang Mushi rushing over.
