Chapter 1006 Not Human Blood (Part [-])
Shen time.

The content of the imperial decree was brought back from outside the mansion by Steward Zeng, and presented in front of Xia Zhaoyi on rice paper.

After reading it, Xia Zhaoyi said lightly, "No accidents."

"Patriarch, do you want to leave tomorrow?"

"The itinerary remains unchanged."

Butler Zeng nodded, wanting to keep her to stay longer, but he didn't want to talk too much.

Xia Zhaoyi continued to write letters.

The letter paper was pressed one by one under the paperweight, waiting to dry, and Li Man loaded the envelope from the side.

After answering all the letters, Xia Zhaoyi picked up the pen and laid out the paper again. After thinking for a while, he wrote ink at the beginning of the letter: "Feng Wensheng."

As the sky was getting dark and the city was in turmoil, Xia Zhaoyi finally put down his pen.

Leaving the water pavilion, Zhan Ning couldn't help but said, "Second miss, are you going out to eat glutinous rice balls?"

"..."

Xia Zhaoyi thought for a while, and said, "Yes, and no."

When we meet, we go to eat, but the purpose is to see how the Sihai Teahouse and the streets are doing.

"Second Miss," Zhan Ning looked at her in white clothes, "No, change clothes before leaving."

It is enough to squint during the day, but at night, this white dress is really eye-catching.

Xia Zhaoyi smiled, and instantly understood what he meant: "I'm not afraid."

Seeing Zhan Ning frown, Xia Zhaoyi added: "Li Gan came here to be domineering, not to ostentatiously, I have restrained myself."

She turned around and walked lightly: "The Jixing Mountain was injured before, but it happened suddenly. Now I have a hidden weapon, so I don't need to worry about it."

Even the people in Sihai Teahouse, she wished that they would come to find her immediately instead of hiding behind their backs.

Leaving from the back door, a carriage came slowly.

The coachman gave her an extra look, and the curtains of the carriage were lifted at the same time.

Mao Zilong looked out and saw Xia Zhaoyi going down the steps to leave, he was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly said: "This girl!"

Xia Zhaoyi turned around.

The carriage stopped, Mao Zilong got out of the car, looked Xia Zhaoyi up and down, smiled, cupped his hands and said: "This girl, I met a woman at noon today, and she spoke rudely to me here, I wonder if she is a servant of the girl's house? "

"How do you speak rudely?" Xia Zhaoyi asked.

Mao Zilong raised his hand and described his next figure: "She is wearing a light brown padded jacket on top, a gray-brown skirt on her bottom, and a faded belt."

"How do you speak rudely?" Xia Zhaoyi said the same way.

Mao Zilong paused and looked at her: "Girl, is she from your family?"

"Did you move her?" Xia Zhaoyi asked back.

"Not really."

"Then you, did you mess with her?"

Mao Zilong was irritated by the other party's attitude for a while, and suddenly lost his good impression of her appearance.

"She provoked me," Mao Zilong said calmly, "Girl, do you know her? If you do, please discipline your servants. If you don't, then just pretend I didn't say anything."

Xia Zhaoyi turned and left without saying a word.

"Hey!" The attendant came down from the carriage, glaring at the back of the girl Xiuli, "Who is this, the people in this house are so weird!"

Mao Zilong snorted coldly and went back to the carriage: "Let's go to Nie's Mansion."

Xia Zhaoyi took a shortcut from the back alley, planning to go to Zifengfang first.

At the end of the intersection, I saw a figure swiftly approaching from a high altitude in the distance, stepping on the corrugated eaves step by step, at a very fast speed.

Seeing that he didn't stop, Xia Zhaoyi pointed and whistled.

He paused for a while, and then looked at her, panting and sweating profusely.

Xia Zhaoyi frowned when he saw the blood on his shirt.

"Senior Sister," Zhili murmured, and instantly landed in front of Xia Zhaoyi, with red eyes, "Senior Sister!"

"This is your clothes?"

"Senior sister, something happened, Sihai Teahouse suddenly rushed into a group of people, shopkeeper Li was killed on the spot, Brother Dai Yu, to cover me, also, also..."

Zhili cried and told her what happened this afternoon, starting with the killer who rushed out of the coffin.

He was interrogating them in the house, but a group of very powerful people suddenly rushed in, and when he heard the movement and hurried away, there was already chaos outside.

Xia Zhaoyi felt a sudden shock, but his voice was still calm: "When did it happen?"

"It's been so long since the two sticks of incense, I can't beat them, so I thought I'd come back and call someone!"

"Then the blood on your body..."

"It's shopkeeper Li and Brother Dai's, woo woo, Mr. Ji, I let him hide first, and I don't know if there is any danger yet!" Zhi Li covered his face and began to cry.

"But what's on your body isn't human blood." Xia Zhaoyi said.

He paused and looked at her with teary eyes.

Xia Zhaoyi raised his hand and picked up his shirt: "Look at this blood, has it turned dark red?"

Blinking his eyes, he looked down.

"But, but..." Zhi Li said.

"Sniff carefully, the fishy smell is not strong," Xia Zhaoyi said, "This is not human blood."

The snot and tears have not dried yet, and the eyes are already stupid.

"Go and change your clothes first, I'll take a closer look," Xia Zhaoyi said, "Don't be sad, nothing will happen."

"Senior sister, is there really nothing wrong?"

Xia Zhaoyi smiled lightly, and patted his shoulder: "Go."

"Hmm..." Zhili nodded, not knowing whether to continue crying or laughing.

Seeing the figure of the senior sister leave, he was fragmented and unable to react.

But this blood does not seem to be human blood.

Xia Zhaoyi quickened her pace, and when she reached a wall, she put her hands on the wall, and with the strength of her waist and lower body, she jumped back and landed lightly and softly on the high wall.

Wanjin Long Street is three long streets away from Shiliudaofang of Sihai Teahouse, let alone thousands of houses.

Xia Zhaoyi unreasonably walked straight on the roof, avoiding the twists and turns of the alleys.

There are residential lights and long street lampposts on all sides, and it is quite spectacular to overlook from a high altitude.

Xia Zhaoyi's speed was fast, and when she was approaching the Four Seas Teahouse, a crossbow arrow suddenly shot at it. The sudden attack amidst the already strong high-altitude wind would catch ordinary people off guard, but she nimbly moved sideways, and the crossbow arrow passed by her side. Two steps passed.

Soon, the opponent shot another arrow.

Xia Zhaoyi backed away again, raising both hands, a crossbow arrow shot out from her arm, and flew towards the window sill on the third floor where the archer was.

The opponent's arrow deviates.

With a "bang", her crossbow shot through the opponent's shoulder blade.

Xia Zhaoyi quickly ran towards the household.

There were crossbow arrows from other places, but she deftly avoided them.

Enduring the severe pain from the wound, the injured man quickly went to the stairs. The girl had already broken in through the window, and a silver whip in her hand arrived first, wrapping around his neck and pulling it back.

When the people downstairs heard the movement upstairs, a woman held a lamp and shouted in a trembling voice downstairs: "Who, who is upstairs."

"If you want to survive, don't come up." The girl's voice came from the darkness, as crisp and cold as ice.

The woman turned pale with fright, and hurried to find her husband.

The small oil ball lamp fell from Xia Zhaoyi's fingertips. She stepped on the archer and looked at him coldly in the dim light.

The man gritted his teeth and glared, suddenly bursting into flames, as if he was about to make a last-ditch effort.

Xia Zhaoyi didn't stop him, but avoided him.

A crossbow arrow just shot from the window at this moment.

The man who just got up and raised the knife was pierced by his companion's crossbow arrow across his throat, and a few mouthfuls of blood gushed out, and he fell to the ground and died.

Xia Zhaoyi left from another window, clung to the eaves, and used his waist strength to flip over to the roof again.

She didn't bother to pursue those archers, and walked quickly towards the Four Seas Teahouse.
