Our Mommy is the Best Investigator!

  Chapter 364 Assassinated

  Lin Jinxiao drove the carriage to the shop in the east of the city, and found that the house was pitch-black, not even half a ghost could be seen, and there was no figure of Chu Nanzhi on the way here.

  The suspicion in his heart became firmer. After all, this woman didn't take herself seriously.

   I'm afraid that what she said today is just a casual remark.

  If she really cared about herself, even if she didn't go to the county office in advance, she wouldn't have arrived by more than an hour at night.

  This is not like her nature.

  The quadruplets lifted the curtain and looked out of the car window where they could not see their fingers. They also fell into suspicion.

  Sibao Lin Ruijia didn't believe that mother would lie to them, so she held her cherry mouth and asked unwillingly: "Father, has mother already gone to the county government?"

  Listening to Little Sibao's questioning, Lin Jinxiao sneered helplessly at Heiye.

  The little guys still believe too much and depend on this woman too much.

   There is only one road from this shop to the county government office, and the distance is only a quarter of an hour. I have never bumped into them all the way, so how could I go to the county government office without making a sound.

   Unless she and Sangqi headed west in the opposite direction to go home.

Sighing secretly, Lin Jinxiao turned his head and said softly to the carriage, "It's getting late, daddy will take you back to the county government office to eat something and go to bed early, if you still think about your mother, daddy will see you off tomorrow go back."

   Seeing that it was time to switch defenses, there were fewer and fewer patrolling guards, and he didn't dare to stay outside with the little treasures.

  Although he has already made some arrangements, it is inevitable that some stupid people will jump out at this time and make themselves trapped.

   "No, no, Dad, what if Mommy is looking for us too."

  Sambo Lin Ruichong is unyielding, and he is always worried if he can't see his mother.

   "Then father will take you to find your mother."

  Lin Jinxiao turned his horse's head disheartened, and finally compromised with the last illusion, and headed straight towards Chongrenfang in the west of the city.

  If Chu Nanzhi has not returned to the old house, it means that he has indeed misunderstood her; but if she has already returned to the old house, then there is no need to think about it.

  He desperately wanted an answer.

  But no matter what, you still have to see her figure to feel at ease.

  After all, she had saved his own life several times. Based on this alone, he couldn't see any danger this woman was in.

  …

   Late at night, Luyan Port is full of loneliness and desolation like all counties.

  The carriage was driving slowly on the empty streets. Although Lin Jinxiao tried his best to pass through the streets under the pressure of the horse, the clear sound of horseshoes still broke the tranquility of the night, making rattling sounds from time to time.

  From the east of the city to the west of the city, there are two shortcuts, one is the main street lined with shops, and the other is a closer road that needs to cross narrow alleys and cross a few remote streets with few people.

   Arriving at the fork in the road, Lin Jinxiao looked at the dimmed lanterns raised up under the eaves in the distance, hesitated for a moment, and finally chose the main street to continue driving.

  But the further you go, the quieter and weirder you look around.

Seeing that he was about to arrive at the county captain's mansion, he suddenly reined in the horse and stopped slowly, looked around vigilantly, and ordered in a low voice, "Dabao, take your younger brothers and sisters to hide in the carriage." Okay, don't make a sound."

  Hearing voices outside, Dabao was about to lift the curtain, but Lin Jinxiao immediately ordered: "Don't move, remember what Dad said."

   As soon as the voice fell, a group of masked men in black slowly poured out from both sides of the opposite intersection.

  Under the light of a few dizzy lanterns, one can vaguely see a pair of bright swords shining coldly in the dark night.

Lin Jinxiao clenched the Tianzi sword tightly, blew out the lanterns hanging on both sides of the carriage, and sneered coldly at the man in black who was approaching: "How dare you murder the imperial court official within the control area of ​​the county lieutenant's mansion? Bringing about the catastrophe of extermination?"

   "As long as you can kill Lord Lin with your hands, what's the fear of exterminating the clan?"

  A cold voice sounded in the dark night: "If such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity is missed, it may be difficult to find another opportunity. Naturally, we must not miss it."

   It turned out to be a dead man.

  Lin Jinxiao's eyes trembled fiercely: "Are you so confident that you can kill me?"

   "If you say Master Lin is indeed an all-rounder in civil and military affairs, it's a pity that with your current situation, you may be no match for four with two fists."

   After all, I have to walk with a cane.

The man sneered, and said again: "Although Master Lin is smart enough to choose such a Yangguan road, don't forget that it takes a quarter of an hour to transfer troops from the Haiphong Battalion and the County Captain's Mansion to this place. The government soldiers will also patrol here after a quarter of an hour, so it must not be difficult to bully a handicapped disabled person for a quarter of an hour, right?"

   "I came prepared."

Lin Jinxiao pinched his fingers to make the final calculation, and was not in a hurry to draw his sword. He crossed his legs casually, and deliberately provocatively said: "Why don't we make a bet, although you are many and powerful, I feel that I can last a long time in your hands." It’s time for a cup of tea, and this official can still retreat completely, do you believe it or not?”

   "It's simply Yelang arrogant."

  The man seemed to have lost his patience, and he raised his long knife and rushed towards Lin Jinxiao aggressively.

   All of a sudden, cold rays of light rushed towards this tempting prey.

  Lin Jinxiao decisively drew out his long sword and surrounded the carriage with all his might to fend off the attacking assassins.

  The light figure spun and fluttered around the wall of the carriage, and three or five people fell under the carriage within one round.

  The blade is so sharp that people can't get close to it at all.

   And his legs?

  The man in black immediately sensed something was wrong, and couldn't help but exclaimed, "Have you recovered from your leg disease?"

   "But that day in front of the county government office, I saw that you were leaning on crutches, and it was difficult for you to walk. How come your hands and feet recovered so quickly in just a few days?"

   "I'm really sorry to disappoint you."

  Whilst Lin Jinxiao was speaking, he swung the blade of his sword and slashed at the person holding the knife around him, directly breaking the tendon of that person's hand.

  Accompanied by the sound of the "Kang Dang" sword falling to the ground, the screams of pain in the dark night pierced the silent sky.

  The leader of the man in black was so frightened that he stabbed the knife directly into the heart of the man, killing the boy immediately.

  Hearing the sound of swords, lights and swords colliding outside, Sanbao Lin Ruichong was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat, and finally couldn't help sobbing softly.

   "Don't cry."

  It was too late for Dabao to stop him, the crying sound spread out, and the leading man in black immediately sensed the movement in the carriage, and shouted to everyone: "There are people in the carriage, let's attack the carriage together."

  Lin Jinxiao's eyebrows frowned, and he raised his sword and stabbed directly at the person who gave the order.

  But before he got close, he saw a few black shadows running behind the carriage.

  He was anxious, and immediately went back to help. Just as he turned his body, a cold light flashed across his shoulders, and the biting coolness hit him from behind, which refreshed him.

   He clenched his long sword and strenuously boarded the carriage, using the strength of the stirrups to turn over and swing towards the several people rushing over.

  Several "chi chi" sounds of broken swords continued to resound sharply around.

  Lin Jinxiao had quick eyesight and quick hands, and he swung his sword several times in a row. The sharp edge of the sword passed between the waists of the people in front of him.

Looking around, he found trembling flames coming from all directions. Lin Jinxiao stood firmly on the stirrups, tightened his grip on the frightened horse, and shouted to the man in black with fluttering clothes: "The coastal defense battalion is here. Who dares to make a mistake."

  The man in black looked around, and saw several groups of soldiers holding torches rushing from all corners of the street.

   Unexpectedly, the coastal defense battalion was alarmed so soon, and it might be too late to retreat. The few timid men among the men in black were so frightened that they were trembling with the hands holding the big knives.
