Song Zhen went out, Di Renjie was free, and he suddenly wanted to go to the small clinic he had been to a few days ago.

He wanted to ask more questions, such as what other illegal and criminal things did the Wen and Yu families do besides the nominal outing, which was actually the behavior of plundering the people.

He knocked on the door three times outside, but no one responded.

"Is the old man here?"

Di Renjie couldn't help but frown.

He found that the door was half-open, which meant that there should be someone inside.

The old doctor had no other relatives except a son who was over fifty years old. His wife and daughter-in-law were dead, leaving only two men to depend on each other.

On weekdays, the old doctor's son would go to the outside of the city to farm and would not return home until sunset.

Now it was noon, and under normal circumstances, it was impossible for him to be at home.

At this time, Di Renjie heard a burst of hurried footsteps.

Something was wrong. It should not sound like the old doctor, but the sound of the broken steps that only young men could run.

Moreover, there seemed to be five or six men.

Who could be inside?

Di Renjie's face changed drastically, and he suddenly thought of a very bad possibility.

The old doctor, there is a high probability that he has been killed.

Thinking of this, Di Renjie ran away!

As expected, as soon as the door opened, five strong men rushed out.

They looked around, searching for Di Renjie's whereabouts.

"Where is he?"

"Escaped?"

"Hehe, quite alert."

Di Renjie saw that they retreated back to the house, his heart beat fast, and slowly calmed down.

It was a close call, he was almost caught.

But this also means that the old doctor's family is afraid of being in danger.

Killing people openly? It's really lawless.

When Di Renjie thought of the Yongzhou government office, he felt extremely heartbroken.

The officials of the government office were originally the sanctioners of local laws, but now they were killed by the gentry, and the great revenge has not been avenged...

When will the sky of Yongzhou be bright again?

At this moment, Di Renjie suddenly noticed that there was something wrong with the shadow in front of him.

A strong wind came, and he subconsciously dodged to the right.

Clang——

The broadsword cut off half of Di Renjie's long hair, and sparks were shaken on the wall.

Di Renjie was frightened and panicked, and he quickly got up and ran.

He ran all the way on the street, and passers-by along the way hid in the house, not daring to open the doors and windows.

They chose to stand by and watch, not caring about it.

But this is also human nature. After all, no one wants to get into trouble. You know, the criminals are armed, who dares to stop them?

Don't want to die?

Di Renjie pushed down the roadside stalls, forming an obstacle behind him.

"Escape? Let's see where you can escape to?" On the high building, a man in brocade clothes was admiring this scene on the street.

He fled, he chased, he couldn't fly away.

It's just chasing with a machete.

Di Renjie regretted it. He should not have gone out impulsively.

Knowing that the other party was a group of desperate criminals, the so-called law was meaningless in their eyes.

The Wen and Yu families were already mad in Yongzhou.

They killed people without blinking an eye, and even dared to kill the fourth-rank court officials. How could they take him, a small sixth-rank official, seriously?

While Di Renjie was fleeing, he thought of Song Zhen.

If he was there, it would be great.

Di Renjie had already run ten miles, and the other party was chasing him. Seeing the criminals approaching step by step, he made up his mind and lifted up his right sleeve.

Hidden inside was the youth version of Zhuge Liannu tailored for him by Shouzheng.

He drew a bow and arrow from his waist, then loaded it with his left hand, stood still, and stopped running.

Song Zhen explained that this weapon can only be lethal within ten meters, and it is like a mosquito bite if it is too far away.

After all, the Tang Dynasty prohibited private possession of such weapons as crossbows, so Song Zhen deliberately made it look like a toy.

He even took it to the palace to play with, deliberately showing off in front of Li Zhi.

After seeing it, Li Zhi was curious and asked Song Zhen to make one for him, so that he could use it to shoot chickens when he was bored.

The emperor had no objection, which meant that his weapon was legal.

So Song Zhen made two youth version Zhuge Liannu for everyone around him, just in case of emergency.

The man who was chasing saw Di Renjie stop and showed a cruel smile.

Just as he was about to approach the other party, he felt a sharp pain in his chest, and he stopped, only to see an arrow pierced into his chest.

Di Renjie was worried, so he shot a few more crossbows, and when he saw the man fall, he ran away quickly.

"I won't kill anyone, right?"

Di Renjie's heart beat very fast.

Wen Youliang, who was on the high building, saw that Di Renjie had successfully escaped. He cursed him as a loser!He left with a wave of his sleeves.

Di Renjie hid in an empty alley, his hand on his chest, rising and falling.

If he hadn't reacted in time, that knife might have made him lose his head.

However, there were officials patrolling the streets outside, with a determination not to return until Di Renjie was caught.

Di Renjie heard the footsteps outside getting closer and closer, and he showed a desperate expression.

He didn't regret coming to Yongzhou, but regretted bringing Shouzheng here.

Originally, his plan was to let Song Zhen perform an autopsy and then investigate the case according to the criminal investigation trilogy.

But the current situation is, autopsy?

You dare to hang around the gate of Yongzhou government office, and your head will fall immediately.

In despair, Di Renjie suddenly felt a pair of hands from behind, pulling him over.

"Shh, don't make a sound."

Di Renjie recovered and found that the other party was a plain-dressed woman.

She had a healthy wheat-colored skin, beautiful facial features, and a gentle temperament of a woman from the Jiangnan water town.

But, the clothes she was wearing were too shabby, weren't they?

"Come here." The woman walked to the well and waved to Di Renjie.

"This dry well has been unused for decades."

Di Renjie hesitated, but the footsteps of the infantry behind him were like the death warrant, leaving him no time to think.

Then, he was kicked down by the woman.

Then, the woman also jumped into the well.

The sound of diving here attracted the attention of the officers and soldiers, and five officers and soldiers from the Yongzhou government followed the sound and probed over.

They stretched their heads and looked into the well, only to see that the water surface was calm and there was nothing different.

In the well, Di Renjie was pressed into the water by the woman.

The officers and soldiers above were worried and threw a big stone into the well.

Seeing this, the woman adjusted her body shape and barely avoided it, but her back was still hit a little bit, and she groaned.

Di Renjie stared in the water with his eyes wide open and his mouth tightly shut, only to feel the body of the woman in his arms gradually soften.

"Huh——" He stretched his head out and breathed in fresh air.

"Are you okay?"

The well mouth was very narrow, and the two people had to get close to each other.

The woman smiled and said that she was fine, so he could rest assured.

"They left, how should we get up?"

"There is a rope, let's climb up."

Di Renjie looked at the sky from a well, and he looked embarrassed.

There were pillars in the room, and he couldn't climb up even with the rope.

How could he do it with the smooth well wall?
