Chapter 1 She came here for meritorious service
Flower Festival.Night rain south of the Yangtze River.

Chang Ying hid under the eaves, like a dormant nighthawk, quietly watching the movement below.

This is the prefect of Changxing Prefecture under the prefect of Huzhou. Tonight, a catastrophe is secretly brewing here.

Cheng Xiao entered the study as usual.

Every day after dinner, he would check his second son Cheng Rong's homework. Today he was memorizing "The Book of Songs", but Cheng Xiao didn't listen to what Cheng Rong memorized.

Half a year ago, Chen Tingchen, the servant of the household department, hanged himself in his study without any warning. An obscure blood letter was left on the scene.

Last year, there was a famine in the two northern provinces, coupled with the continuous party disputes between the DPRK and China, and improper actions, resulting in an endless stream of rioters everywhere.

Even the sea is not so calm, the Dongying people are harassing the sea, and the inside and outside are uneasy. Cheng Xiao himself was attacked by bandits when he went out a few months ago.

At this moment, it was raining continuously at night, coupled with all these things, it made people feel a little uneasy.

"Father, I'm done reciting."

Cheng Rong interrupted his reverie, he looked at the moment, only to realize that he had been in a daze for nearly half an hour.

He waved his hand.

At this time, the voice of his wife scolding his daughter Cheng Mei could be heard intermittently from the next door: "...Du Jian is just a commoner, you are an official lady, how can you recruit such a person as your husband?!"

"When I marry him and let my father support him well, it's over!"

Cheng Xiao frowned.

Du Jian was Cheng Xiao's bodyguard.Three months ago, Cheng Xiao was attacked outside, and it was Du Jian who rescued him from the gangsters, and stayed in the mansion afterwards.

Mrs. Cheng's brother-in-law is the Minister of the Ministry of Officials. The eldest daughter Cheng Yu who lives in Luo's family will marry into the powerful mansion just around the corner.

Thinking of this, Cheng Xiao frowned again.

A gust of wind outside the window made the lamps on the table tremble.

He stared at the lamp for a second, got up and blew it out, then checked the closed bookcase door again in the dark, and then closed the door and went out.

Mo Lan beside the porch pillar under the door was trembling in the wind. The rain seemed to have no intention of stopping.

It was so quiet all around, and it was not like he had never gone back to his room late at night before, but he had never been so eerie as tonight.

"Shala—"

Along with the sound of the wind, there was a slight sound from nowhere.

There was sweat on his forehead, he cleared his throat, and straightened his body to call for someone—the mansion was guarded day and night, and now he had already gone out, and there was no one around to guide the way, which was already unusual.

But before he could open his mouth, the noises became denser, as if he saw him about to shout, and quickly changed from intermittent to continuous, and within half a moment, it was like the prelude of a heavy rain, with a clacking sound resounding throughout The eardrums were damaged, and they followed closely from behind!

Cheng Xiao was terrified, turned his head to look behind him, his face turned ashen instantly!

I saw a few black shadows rushing towards him like a falcon locking on its prey. Before he could scream, the opponent had already slammed his palm towards his neck! ...

Under the eaves, Chang Ying's pupils constricted, but she did not move. More than three years of experience in the army and the experience of arresting heads by the six sects in her previous life allowed her to hold her breath in most cases.

"Wake him up, and then go search the house!"

Ruthless words came out from under the face towel, and then, someone beside him squatted down, took a bottle of something and put it in front of Cheng Xiao's nose.

Cheng Xiao woke up quickly and got up quickly.

"Be honest! I have already laid down all the servants in the yard. There is a knife hanging in front of the bedside of your wife and your two children!

"As long as you shout a word, the knife will cut their throats immediately. After all, for this day, we have made preparations in advance."

This is a pure Yanjing accent, and it is also a voice that is sure to win, even his appearance is the same.

Cheng Xiao stared at him for a long while, then swallowed his saliva: "The hero follows me to the study, I have 5 taels of ready-made bank notes."

"5 taels!" The bandit leader laughed, holding up his chin with a dagger: "A little Zhizhou from Wupin, Dong Zhe has 5 taels of life-saving banknotes in hand!

"It's a pity, I didn't come here for money." The bandit leader turned his head and looked at the study, "Say, where is the thing you collected?"

Chang Ying, who was about to make a move on the beam, suddenly stopped there when he heard the words.

　New book, okay?
