The servants of the Ye family silenced the news, and the missing master was quickly reported to the officials. The officials came over quickly, and were startled when they found that Jiang Li was also here, and tactfully persuaded Jiang Li to go home and wait. The scene of such a family-destroying tragedy was bloody, but Jiang Li didn't show much fear except for her unbearable expression.

She knew that Jiang Yuanbai would know about this soon and would let her go back home quickly. Jiang Li was about to bid farewell to Situ Jiuyue, but Situ Jiuyue suddenly said, "I'll go back with you."

Jiang Li said: "Miss Jiuyue?"

"Since those people are here for you, Zhao Ke is not in the Jiang residence now. If the other party asks you to do something, maybe I will be by your side. You should at least have someone to discuss with you." She added: "I'm going back to the country now There is no one in the Duke's Mansion, and the Duke's Mansion is useless."

Jiang Li knew that Situ Jiuyue was worried about Xue Zhao, and Situ Jiuyue still had a lot of poison on her body, which might come in handy, so she said, "Okay, come back with me."

Situ Jiuyue followed Jiang Li back to Jiang's Mansion just like that. Jiang Lizhi said that Situ Jiuyue was a maid in the Duke's Mansion and combed her hair well, so she specially asked Situ Jiuyue to come to Jiang's Mansion to comb her hair for two days. As soon as they heard that they were from the Duke's Mansion, the members of the Jiang family didn't ask much. Who would dare to control Ji Heng's people?

Mrs. Jiang learned of the accident in Ye's family, first called Jiang Li to Wanfeng Hall for questioning, and then told Jiang Li that Jiang Yuanbai and Jiang Yuanping had already intervened in this matter, and told Jiang Li not to worry, it was good news that no corpse was found. Jiang Li should not go out these days, Yanjing City is really not peaceful.

Jiang Li was thinking about the Ye family's affairs, and absent-mindedly brushed it off. Finally, when he returned to Fangfei Garden, Situ Jiuyue had already been brought back to the house by Bai Xue to wait. Jiang Li entered the room and closed the door, leaving only herself and Situ Jiuyue in the room.

Situ Jiuyue asked anxiously, "How is it?"

This girl has always looked condensed and indifferent. It is the first time for Jiang Li to see her so anxious. If it was normal, she would definitely be happy for Xue Zhao, but at this moment, she is really not happy because she and Situ Jiu Worrying like the moon.

Jiang Li shook her head, "Don't expect the officers and soldiers to find out anything. Since they dared to do this, I'm afraid they came prepared. People who can't catch the signs and can confront Ji Heng are not ordinary people. I just doubt... ..." She looked at Situ Jiuyue, "Is the other party from the Yin family?"

"I don't know, I don't know what Ji Heng is going to do, but," Situ Jiuyue replied, "I know that Ji Heng's ultimate enemies are the Yin family. So I think, maybe your guess is right. "

Jiang Li's heart did not feel relaxed after hearing Situ Jiuyue's words. She understood that if the other party was Yin Zhan, this matter would be even more difficult. Yin Zhan is Ji Heng's biggest enemy. If the other party wants to threaten Ji Heng with himself, Ji Heng will be in a very disadvantageous position. But if he disregarded so many lives of the Ye family only for Ji Heng, it would be impossible.

"Now we can only wait for the news from the other party." Jiang Li said, "I hope there is another way."

Situ Jiuyue nodded.

The two of them had a very difficult day, it could almost be said that they lived like years. Jiang Li kept holding the whistle in her palm, and she even tried to blow the whistle, but there was no response. It can be seen that Ji Heng did leave Yanjing City with his cronies. If it was not an important matter, Ji Heng did not need to bring so many people. On the one hand, Jiang Li had to worry about Ji Heng, and on the other hand, she had to worry about the relatives of the Ye family.

Both Tong'er and Bai Xue saw Jiang Li's anxiety and dared not say anything. At night, Situ Jiuyue and Jiang Li didn't sleep. They waited until late at night, but nothing happened. In a daze, Jiang Li closed her eyes. But within a moment of closing her eyes, she heard Situ Jiuyue yelling: "Who!"

Jiang Li opened her eyes suddenly, the lights on the table had been burned out, the room was pitch black, and nothing could be seen. Situ Jiuyue opened a fire folder, under the flickering light of the fire, a red-headed dart was nailed to the window in between, and a letter was pressed under the dart.

coming! Jiang Li's heart trembled, and Situ Jiuyue followed closely, holding a round wax pill in his hand, presumably it should be something like poison. She was afraid that there would be fraud around her, so she looked around vigilantly. And Jiang Li couldn't wait to open the envelope, and before she had time to read it, something rolled out of the envelope.

Jiang Li and Situ Jiuyue couldn't help looking at the ground, Jiang Li cried out softly.

It was a human finger, Situ Jiuyue bent down to pick it up as if nothing had happened, looked at it with a frown, and said, "Do you know a woman's finger?"

Jiang Li suppressed her shock and looked at the finger. It was indeed a woman's little finger. She was stunned at first glance, and murmured: "It's Haitang's finger..."

Haitang had three small red moles growing vertically on her little finger. Because of this, Xue Fangfei laughed and said that she was very special. And on this bloody finger, it was still in exactly the same position, and Jiang Li couldn't admit that he was wrong.

She gathered herself together, opened the letter to read it, read it at a glance, and handed the letter paper to Situ Jiuyue.

The letter said that Jiang Li should find a way to get out of the city tonight. After leaving the city, go east of the city for 20 miles. There is a village, and someone will come to pick her up at the gate of the village. If Jiang Li didn't go, Haitang's body would be obtained early in the morning, Xue Zhao's body the next day, and so on until everyone was killed. Jiang Li also never wants to report to the officials or take people out of the city to arrest people. There are eyeliners in Yanjing City. If Jiang Li takes people there, the lives of the five members of the Ye family will disappear from the world in an instant.

The words on the letter were also bloody, as if written with human blood, and the madness of the person who wrote the letter could be seen through the words on the letter.

After reading the letter, Situ Jiuyue said angrily, "You bastard!"

Jiang Li looked at the finger on the table, shaking her eyes sorely. This is a problem for Jiang Li. If she leaves the city, she will definitely become a bargaining chip for the other party to threaten Ji Heng. If she does not leave the city, the other party will be frantic and will only vent her anger on the Ye family.

She gritted her teeth: "I'm going out of town!"

"Jiang Li!" Situ Jiuyue whispered, "This is the other party's trick."

"We have no other way, Jiuyue, can you just watch Xue Zhao die?"

Situ Jiuyue was at a loss for words, and the other party cut off Haitang's finger as a warning. They believed that if Jiang Li didn't do what the letter said, the other party would definitely kill her.

"In the final analysis, they were also implicated by me." Jiang Li replied, "I'll find a way first and replace them with myself. If they want to use me to coerce Ji Heng, you tell Ji Heng to ignore me and act according to his plan .”

"What if they catch you and don't let the Ye family go?"

"I hide a wax pill in my mouth. If they can't do it, I will bite the wax pill and kill myself. To threaten Jiheng, they have to get a living me. The dead me is useless, but it will ignite Jiheng's anger They can use the Ye family to coerce me, and I can also use myself to coerce them to release the Ye family."

Situ Jiuyue thought for a while: "No, I have to go with you."

Jiang Li said: "September..."

"Don't forget, people call me Poison Fairy, they don't call me for fun. Of course I have my own way, if I can escape unscathed, I can save the Ye family and not catch you, wouldn't it be great?"

She looked determined. Jiang Li looked at her for a long time before she nodded and said, "Okay. But if there is danger, you remember to run away first. Those people want to save my life, but they may not be soft on you." She thought that going out of the city might not be possible tonight without Situ Jiuyue's help. The other party told her not to report to the official, and not to take anyone with her, but it shouldn't be a mistake to only take Situ Jiuyue, a woman.

Situ Jiuyue took out several bottles of medicine from his body, as well as some hidden weapons hidden between his fingers, and the wax pills Jiang Li wanted. She carefully taught Jiang Li how to use it, and then she gave up.

When Jiang Li left, Situ Jiuyue made Bai Xue and Tong'er stunned, and he would not be able to wake up until tomorrow afternoon. Otherwise, if the Jiang family finds out that they are missing, they will probably blame the two maids. Jiang Li stunned the two maids so that they would not be angered.

To Jiang Li's surprise, she thought that Situ Jiuyue had no martial arts, and it would take a lot of trouble to get out of Jiang's family. After all, it was not Zhao Ke. But unexpectedly, Situ Jiuyue went out more smoothly than Zhao Ke, because she directly stunned all the gatekeepers. When Jiang Li went out from the back door, it was not yet a stick of incense.

She suddenly felt that the reputation of "Poison Concubine" seemed to be quite good.

Situ stole a carriage in September, and the two got on the carriage to travel. She put another mask on Jiang Li. The mask was thin and fit the person's face very well. When she looked in the mirror again, Jiang Li became an ordinary-looking woman with a little cough.

Situ Jiuyue was driving the carriage, and she also changed her face easily. She was a hunchbacked girl. The young general guarding the city was surprised to see someone going out of the city at night, but Situ Jiuyue took out an order, saying that his wife was ill at night and had to go out of the city to find a doctor. The young general opened the carriage and saw Jiangli on the carriage. Because it was night, he could see it vaguely. Seeing that Jiangli was indeed a sick woman, he didn't suspect him, and the order was true, so he let go.

After leaving the city gate, Jiang Li felt relieved.

It takes about half an hour to go eastward twenty miles out of the city gate. Sitting in the carriage, Jiang Li didn't immediately take off the face-changing mask, but carefully recalled how to use the hidden poison weapons that Situ Jiuyue taught her. In any case, they are just two women now, not to mention whether they can safely reach the village mentioned by the other party, if they encounter bandits and bandits on the road, it will not be a good thing.

Fortunately, this time, the two of them were lucky and did not encounter any robbers along the way. When Jiang Li and Situ arrived at the gate of the agreed village in September, they didn't see a single person.

Situ Jiuyue frowned and asked, "Why is there no one? Could it be that those people are afraid to come? Or is that letter a fake at all."

"It shouldn't be a fake." Jiang Li said: "They may have arrived. The reason why they didn't show up is to see if we are cheating and if we really came alone."

When Situ Jiuyue heard the words, he felt relieved, and then sneered, "You're really cautious."

"Anyway, we've arrived, so let's wait here quietly. They won't be long before they appear."

Situ Jiuyue said: "Okay, I'm outside, if there is any movement, you should be prepared."

Jiang Li nodded and said yes, because it was late at night and it was dark outside, even the carriage was pitch black. I don't know if this village is deserted or not. There is no sign of people at all, and there are no sounds from animals. It sounds eerily quiet. It was as if there were only Jiang Li and Situ Jiuyue in the world. Jiang Li could clearly hear the sound of her own heartbeat, which was powerful and steady, but she didn't know what might happen next. At least in this matter, they were passive and had no choice.

I don't know how long it has passed, Jiang Li only feels that a long time has passed, but there is still no sound outside. She asked Situ Jiuyue: "Jiuyue, did you find anything wrong?"

It was so quiet, even if the other party wanted to observe, they didn't have to wait so long.

The answer to Jiang Li was silence, there was no voice from Situ Jiuyue outside, Jiang Li's heart "thumped", and a heart sank slowly. She nervously clenched the receipt filled with poisonous powder in her hand, took a deep breath, and opened the curtain of the carriage.

Then, she saw flames, big and small, and the barren field was already full of people at some point. Situ Jiuyue, who was sitting on the driver's seat, was missing, and the rest of the people were staring at her. very conspicuous.

Jiang Li jumped out of the carriage, and suddenly someone patted her on the shoulder from behind, as if she was an old friend, Jiang Li turned her head, and felt that her eyes were dark.

Immediately afterwards, she was put into a sack, resisted, and was thrown back onto the carriage. Someone took the driver's seat and drove the carriage away.

Everything returned to silence.

...

The second day was sunny.

The sun shone on the snow-covered ground, emitting some sparkling brilliance, and even the snow was illuminated into pale gold. It's still surprisingly cold.

Mingyue and Qingfeng came out early in the morning to clean up the accumulated ice on the ground. After cleaning up, the sky was already bright. At this time on weekdays, Bai Xue and Tong'er would also get up early to serve Jiang Li breakfast, but today they were nowhere to be seen. Mingyue said: "Sister Baixue and Sister Tong'er are lazy? Why haven't I seen anyone now?"

"Probably. They were busy for a long time last night, but we still need to wake them up first, the girl must have breakfast." Qingfeng also said. They live in a different place from Tonger Baixue. Tonger Baixue is Jiang Li's personal maid, and they live next to Jiang Li on weekdays. Qingfeng knocked on the door, but no one answered for a while, Mingyue came over and muttered: "Could it be that he went out a long time ago, but he didn't see anyone."

Qingfeng tried to push the door, never thought that the door was unlocked, and pushed it open, Qingfeng walked in, just entered the door, almost tripped over something on the ground, looked carefully, and saw Baixue and Tonger lie on the floor.

The two servant girls were startled, Mingyue quickly squatted down, pushed Baixue and shouted: "Sister Baixue! Sister Baixue!"

Baixue didn't respond for a while, Qingfeng thought of something, and hurried to Jiang Li's boudoir opposite, first knocked on the door, then rushed in, and saw that the room was empty and there was no one there.

"It's not good, it's not good!" Qingfeng ran towards Wanfengtang.

When Mrs. Jiang heard the news, she fainted out of breath. Jiang Yuanbai and Jiang Yuanping sent people to look for it, and after a great search, they realized that the guards guarding the back door of Jiang's mansion last night were all stunned, and they were lying on the ground staggeringly, and they still haven't woken up yet. Bai Xue and Tong'er also fell to the ground when they were fainted.

Jiang Li disappeared.

Jiang Yuanping immediately thought of what happened to Ye's family in Yanjing City yesterday, and said, "The disappearance of Xiaoli is related to the silence of Ye's family?"

"I heard that there is another servant girl missing from Second Young Lady's room?" Jiang Yuanbai caught Mingyue and asked, "Is that maid from the Duke's Mansion?"

"Yes." Mingyue replied cautiously, "The girl said that Jiuyue combed her hair well, so she brought Jiuyue back. This morning, the servant did not see Jiuyue's shadow, so I don't know if she is with the girl. "

It is not easy to get involved with the Duke's Mansion. Especially the guards of the Jiang Mansion, how could ordinary drugs stun them. But this matter is no small matter, Jiang Yuanping said: "Brother, why don't you ask someone to go to the Duke's mansion to ask, what is the identity of this maid named Jiuyue, and does this matter have anything to do with Duke Su? The most fearful thing is that we don't know why The Jiang family is also involved in something, we don't even know."

Jiang Yuanbai nodded with a gloomy expression. For the time being, he has not let anyone announce Zhang Jiangli's disappearance. The quilts in Jiang Li's room were neatly folded, it can be seen that he didn't sleep here last night. There was no sign of a fight in the room, so it was impossible for someone to come in and take Jiang Li away. It looked more like Jiang Li left on her own initiative. In addition, there is also a maid from the Duke's Mansion, Jiang Yuanbai always feels that things are not that simple.

The people who went to the Duke's Mansion soon came to report that Su Guogong Jiheng was not in Yanjing City, and Old General Ji was not in Yanjing City either. There was no one in the Duke's Mansion who could call the shots, and no one could answer Jiang Yuanbai's question.

"Brother, this is a terrible situation." Jiang Yuanping said.

In Jiang Yuanbai's heart, an unknown fire suddenly arose. Almost at this moment, he could be sure that whether it was the silence of the Ye family's servants or the disappearance of Jiang Li, there was an indispensable connection with the Duke's Mansion. He didn't know why, because the Duke's Mansion didn't intend to tell him the answer from the beginning.

"Send someone to find the whereabouts of Second Miss." Jiang Yuanbai said, "No matter what, we can't sit still and wait for death."

Jiang Yuanping looked at his elder brother and sighed in his heart. No one knew that Jiang Yuanbai's order might not bear fruit. The role played by the Jiang family in this matter is really negligible.

But where is the ginger pear?

...

When Jiang Li woke up, it was already the next night.

The first thing she woke up was that her heart sank, and the wax pill she was biting in her mouth was gone. She went to touch her bosom again. The hidden weapons and poison Situ Jiuyue gave her for self-defense were all missing. To be precise, her clothes had been changed inside and out, and she had nothing. And it shouldn't be her delusion, her whole body is limp and she has no strength. Jiang Li is no stranger to being kidnapped by Cheng Wang's men, this time is exactly the same as last time, she must have been drugged.

The memory in her brain was still at the moment before she was completely unconscious. She got off the carriage and did not see Situ Jiuyue. But looking at the appearance of those men in black around the carriage, Jiang Li knew in an instant that she had guessed right, that the other party was indeed from Yin Zhan. People in the army are absolutely different from people in the market. Those were soldiers, and it was more than enough to catch her and Situ Jiuyue.

Thinking of Situ Jiuyue, Jiang Li got out of bed and stood up. There was no one in the room, and a lantern was placed on the stool beside the bed, emitting a faint light. There was no sound outside, but she knew that there would never be no one. She wanted to get to the door, but she took a few steps when someone's footsteps sounded outside, and the door of the house was opened.

The other party probably didn't expect that Jiang Li had woken up, and both of them were a little stunned. After a while, Jiang Li said: "Master Pingyang County."

Yin Zhiqing was holding a food basket in her hand, and she was standing at the door. When she saw Jiang Li, she had a complicated expression on her face, but without saying anything, she turned around and closed the door, put the food basket on the table, and said, "Are you hungry? , I brought you some food."

Jiang Li watched her take out the food from the food basket, but didn't go over, just said: "There must be medicine in these food."

Yin Zhiqing paused, "I'm sorry."

There was a look of guilt on her face, which didn't seem to be fake. Jiang Li said: "I really can't eat it." Knowing that eating it would be at the mercy of others, it's fine if it's normal, but if it really wants to become Ji Heng's weakness, what can it do?

"If you don't want to eat, we also have a way for you to eat. For example, mix it with water and pour it down for you." At this point, she seemed to feel that she was a little too much, and she was silent for a while before softly saying: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean it Want to do this to you."

Jiang Li knew that Yin Zhiqing was not the mastermind behind the scenes, she didn't have that ability. She was eager to ask about Situ Jiuyue's situation, so she asked: "Where is the girl who was with me at that time? Do you know if she is okay?"

Yin Zhiqing's reaction made Jiang Li's heart sink. She looked at Jiang Li in astonishment and said, "Is there another person? No, when I came here, I only knew you were there."

Jiang Li was silent. She didn't seem to get any useful information from Yin Zhiqing. Yin Zhiqing looked at her, hesitated for a moment, and said, "You don't have to worry, your friend... should not be in danger."

"Do you know why I'm here?" Jiang Li asked back.

Yin Zhiqing shook her head: "They said it would be better for you to stay here."

Jiang Li sneered.

She has always been gentle towards others, and Yin Zhiqing was a little surprised by such a mean look, and stared at Jiang Li as if she didn't know her. Jiang Li said: "It seems that you don't know anything, the person who arrested me was Yin Zhan."

"How could that be?" Yin Zhiqing frowned, "My father isn't here at all."

She has a shrewd and beautiful face, but her temperament is really simple, and Jiang Li doesn't know why. Yin Zhan himself does not look like an ordinary person, but his two sons and daughters, Yin Zhili can be regarded as gentle and upright, and Yin Zhiqing is too simple and straightforward, completely different from Yin Zhan. If he wanted to raise his sons and daughters to be upright and aboveboard, why did he use such unscrupulous means, and why did he have to be ambitious? Don't you think these practices are contradictory?

"It's not your father, who is that? You don't even know the whereabouts of Jiuyue, then it's Yin Zhili."

Jiang Li's tone was very calm, but rarely aggressive. Yin Zhiqing couldn't bear her attitude, so she said: "Brother may be doing this because the marriage between Duke Su and you is a bit unsatisfactory. .Maybe he has other considerations, maybe he is helping you."

"Help me?" Jiang Li laughed, "Kill all the servants in my uncle's house, kidnap my uncle's cousin and Xue's father and son, threaten me with five lives, and have to throw myself into a trap and hurt my friends , Sweep away all the things on me that are used for self-protection, this seems to be a way to prevent thieves. County Lord Pingyang, I never knew what kind of kindness it is to hurt other people's friends and family."

Yin Zhiqing opened her mouth wide, and she said, "You, what are you talking about? Who threatened you? Don't just talk about it!"

"Isn't he your good brother?" Jiang Li said.

"My brother is not that kind of person!" Yin Zhiqing stood up angrily and said, "I thought you were a straightforward person anyway, and you were the daughter of the chief assistant's family. It's unreasonable to splash dirty water on a person!" Her willow eyebrows were erected, her almond eyes were round and round, and she was charming even when she was angry, but Jiang Li was not in the mood to appreciate it at the moment.

It seems that Yin Zhili didn't tell Yin Zhiqing anything, Jiang Li said coldly: "If you don't believe me, you can ask your brother if this is the case. But he can do such despicable things, so it's okay to lie .”

"You!" Yin Zhiqing was furious, and turned to leave, but Jiang Li called her to stop and asked, "Master Pingyang, this is not Yanjing City, is it?"

Yin Zhiqing paused, her tone still angry: "No!"

Jiang Li became more and more sure of one thing. I am afraid that Yin Zhan had already done something about this matter, and Yin Zhili's means could not do such a thing. That person was too indecisive, but it seemed Yin Zhan's handwriting. On the one hand, Yin Zhan dealt with Jiheng, and on the other hand, he let Yin Zhili take him away in order to blackmail Jiheng. He made two preparations, and he was prepared.

It's really calculated by the agency.

"Master Pingyang, do you know why your father and your brother wanted to kidnap me and put me under house arrest?"

Yin Zhiqing said impatiently: "I have already said that I don't know, and you are going to fabricate some unfounded charges!"

"Because of Lord Su."

As soon as Ji Heng's name was mentioned, Yin Zhiqing turned her head and stared at Jiang Li with burning eyes. She asked, "What did you say?"

"You also know that Ji Heng and I are engaged, and I will be the Duke's wife in the future. If you hold me, you will also hold Ji Heng. Threatening my life, your father can make any demands on Ji Heng, even his own." life."

"A joke," Yin Zhiqing said, "Why did my father blackmail Duke Su?"

"Because he is Ji Heng's enemy, he is destined to never die."
