Chapter 131: Encounter with Bandits

Because Fang Jingxiu happened to be standing in front of Ye Ziyu, Ye Ziyu only saw the blood splattering and the blood stains on the sword in Fang Jingxiu's hand.

"you……"

The person who was shouting just now looked at Fang Jingxiu in surprise and was speechless. Fang Jingxiu handed the sword in his hand to the person next to him and waved his hand to signal him to drag the dead man away.

After the person was dragged out, Fang Jingxiu turned and looked at Ye Ziyu, "The smell of blood is strong. If you can't stand it, go upstairs first."

The strong smell of rust did make Ye Ziyu feel a little nauseous, but she also wanted to know about their conversation.

"I'll tell you the content of the conversation later." Fang Jingxiu seemed to see through Ye Ziyu's thoughts.

Ye Ziyu nodded, then stood up and walked upstairs, followed by a female guard.

Ye Ziyu looked back at the female guard, then looked at Fang Jingxiu, "She will protect you first, to prevent any fish from slipping through the net."

"Oh." Ye Ziyu walked upstairs.

After returning to the room, the female guard stood at the door and did not follow Ye Ziyu into the room.

Ye Ziyu went to the bedside and looked at Ye Qingyin and the others, "No way, how much was taken? He hasn't woken up yet..."

Ye Ziyu walked to the door and leaned against it. "What's your name?"

"Mo Qing."

"Mo... Qing... You are also a secret guard, right? What are you good at?"

Mo Qing didn't answer.

"Can't you tell me? Then do you know where these bandits from Jing'an Mountain came from?"

Mo Qing still didn't answer.

Ye Ziyu sighed and walked out.

Mo Qing blocked Ye Ziyu's way.

"?" Ye Ziyu looked at Mo Qing in confusion.

"It's too bloody down there." Mo Qing said expressionlessly.

"I want to go down and see my maids." Ye Ziyu said.

"Miss, don't worry, they are all fine and no one is injured." Mo Qing still didn't move aside.

Ye Ziyu thought about the scene just now, gave up, sat down on the round table, and fell asleep directly when she felt sleepy.

*

"Sniff, hmm~" Ye Ziyu rubbed her nose.

"Ayu, Ayu." Hearing someone calling her, Ye Ziyu slowly opened her eyes and rubbed them. Ye Qingyin and Ling Bingqing were looking at her in front of her.

Ye Ziyu raised her head and her arm felt numb.

"Why don't you sleep on the bed with us instead of sleeping on the table alone?" Ling Bingqing asked.

"I..." Ye Ziyu looked towards the door, but there was no sign of Mo Qing.

"Didn't we go to bed as soon as we came back last night? Why is the house so messy?" Ling Bingqing looked at the objects scattered all over the floor.

Ye Ziyu stood up and walked out, leaning against the railing and looking down. Below, there was the sound of diners eating and chatting.

"Beginning of Autumn, Beginning of Summer." Ye Ziyu walked downstairs.

"Hey, Ayu." Ye Qingyin watched Ye Ziyu walk out in such a hurry, and followed with Ling Bingqing.

Ye Ziyu went to the maid's room and knocked on the door, "Miss." Li Qiu opened the door, "Miss, I'm sorry, somehow we all overslept. Let's get some water for you to wash up now."

Ye Ziyu grabbed Li Qiu who was about to go out, entered Li Qiu's room, looked around, "Is there anything missing?" Ye Ziyu asked.

Upon hearing this, all the maids checked and said, "Young lady didn't lose anything."

"No, the items are still there."

Everyone confirmed that everything was still there.

"Miss, what's wrong?" Lixia asked.

"Put your things away first." Ye Ziyu said, and walked upstairs again.

Ye Qingyin and Ling Bingqing followed Ye Ziyu to the first floor for unknown reasons, and then followed Ye Ziyu upstairs to Fang Jingxiu's room.

"dong dong dong"

"dong dong dong"

"Come here, who is it?" The one who opened the door was Ling Sichen.

"Ayu? Ayin? Aqing? Why are the three of you here so early in the morning?" Ling Sichen asked.

"Where is Fang Jingxiu?" Ye Ziyu asked.

"Huh? Ash is in there."

"Is it convenient to come in?" Ye Ziyu asked.

"Oh, that's convenient, convenient." Ling Sichen moved aside.

Ye Ziyu walked in, and Ye Qingyin and Ling Bingqing followed.

"What's going on?" Ling Sichen asked Ye Qingyin.

Ye Qingyin shook her head.

As soon as Ye Ziyu came in, she saw Fang Jingxiu and Qin Luoheng sitting and drinking tea.

"Huh? Why are you three here?" Qin Luoheng asked.

Ye Ziyu walked over to sit next to Fang Jingxiu, "Where are those people?"

Ye Qingyin and Ling Bingqing followed behind and stood aside.

Ling Sichen pulled Ye Qingyin to the chair, motioned for her to sit down, and then sat next to her.

Ling Bingqing found a seat and sat down.

"Who?" Qin Luoheng asked.

"No, it shouldn't be a dream." Ye Ziyu kept staring at Fang Jingxiu. If that was her dream, why was the room so messy and how did she fall asleep lying on her stomach?

"It's dealt with." Fang Jingxiu said.

Ye Ziyu had an expression that said, "That's what I said."

"Didn't you say to report to the police? Have the authorities come? Did they find out anything about those people during the interrogation?" Ye Ziyu asked.

"Wait a minute, what are you two talking about?" Ling Sichen interrupted Fang Jingxiu.

Fang Jingxiu recounted everything that happened last night.

While he was investigating, government officials arrived and directly determined that it was the bandits who secretly drugged the inn and it had nothing to do with the innkeeper. They took the remaining two people away and asked Fang Jingxiu to release the innkeeper.

Because Fang Jingxiu's trip was a secret, he did not reveal his identity and left it to the government to handle.

After the government took the people away, Fang Jingxiu had the center of the inn and the maids' and servants' rooms cleaned.

"Just let the government take the person away like this?" Ye Ziyu asked.

"What else? Handling cases is the government's business, not mine."

"That's right, so what did you find out?"

"They are bandits from Jing'an Mountain. They make a living by robbing in various inns all year round. We just happened to be spotted by them this time." Fang Jingxiu said.

Ye Ziyu: ??? I know all this. Isn’t it just a matter of guessing? Why is there no other information after all this time?

"Jing'an Mountain? Is that the group that the government suppressed before? Didn't they say that they were all wiped out at that time?" Ling Sichen said.

"Maybe the fish that escaped the net have gathered together again and returned to their old ways." Qin Luoheng said.

"It looks like the government is going to crack down on us once again." Ling Sichen said.

"Let the government handle the rest of the matters. We'll set off after we have a good rest." Fang Jingxiu said.

For some reason, Ye Ziyu felt that this matter should not be that simple. At least based on the nature of the novel, there must be something hidden.

Ye Ziyu and the other two had nothing else to do, so they went back to their room.

"Ayu, last night was so thrilling." Ling Bingqing said after returning to the room.

"Well, but at first I didn't expect it to be so thrilling, and there would be dead people..." Ye Ziyu initially thought that it was just the same as the two times he had encountered before. It was just a simple kidnapping. At least their lives were saved. But she didn't expect these people to kill them.

"Think about it from another angle. Fortunately, Ayu was sober and knocked those three people unconscious. Otherwise, we might really be kidnapped." Ye Qingyin said.

"It shouldn't happen. Fang Jingxiu isn't unconscious, and he has arranged people to guard him in the dark. Even if he is unconscious, those people can protect us." Ye Ziyu said, supporting his chin.

"Hey, I just realized why you call Brother Jingxiu by his first name now?"

"I... have it?" Ye Ziyu didn't pay attention to what she was calling.

"Yeah, did something happen between you two? It seems like you two have become a lot closer." Ling Bingqing had a gossipy expression on her face.

"Who would be willing to be close to him?" Ye Ziyu retorted hastily after hearing this.

"Brother Jingxiu is doing well."

"What's so good about him? Don't think I don't know his reputation. He's cold, violent, and a playboy... You should stay away from people like him."

“??? Don’t listen to what those people outside say, there are always some ignorant women trying to get close to Brother Jingxiu, and the officials too. Seeing Uncle Fang’s death, Brother Jingxiu has been in charge of the Marquis’ Mansion since he was a child, and they want to make the Marquis’ Mansion a part of their own power. Brother Jingxiu pretends to be like this to avoid those people.” Ling Bingqing explained.

"He is your brother's friend, so naturally he treats you differently."

"Well, then tell me why, even though Brother Jingxiu's reputation is so bad, there are still women who want to approach him and marry into the Marquis' Mansion?"

"Marriage? Then who likes him? Do you know?" Ye Ziyu became curious.

"If we talk about the one who likes Brother Jingxiu, the most famous one is the Third Princess, then it should be Miss Yuan, and the rest are all ladies from small families."

"Miss Yuan? Who is she?"

"The daughter of the Minister of Personnel, oh, you probably haven't seen her yet. The Minister of Personnel sent Miss Yuan out of the capital to study, so she didn't attend any recent banquets. According to calculations, Miss Yuan should be back next month." Ling Bingqing said.

"I didn't expect that so many people like Fang Jingxiu." Ye Ziyu was puzzled.

"Knock knock knock, miss, the young master is asking if you and the two Miss Ye have packed up. If you have, please come downstairs for dinner." A servant's voice sounded outside the door.

"Got it. We'll go downstairs soon." Ling Bingqing replied.
