The journey of the only child of a peasant family to take the imperial examination

Chapter 900 Someone instigated

"Girl, are you alright?" Xiaoyuer stepped forward and bent down to ask.

After Scarface was shot dead, the woman collapsed to the ground in fright, covering her mouth, clearly terrified.

But when Xiaoyuer asked, she forced herself to remain calm and replied in a low voice, "Thank you for saving me, hero. I'm fine!"

She still had a hint of shyness on her face.

"Oh, that's good. In that case, I'll be going. If you need any help, go to the shopkeeper. As long as you have money, I'm sure he'll be happy to help."

After saying that, Xiaoyuer really left.

Although the woman was very beautiful, no less so than Qian's cousins, and perhaps even more so, Xiaoyuer wasn't particularly interested. He knew that his priority was to go to Datong.

Then send people to inquire about news in the capital so as to make the next steps.

Sometimes he even felt that he might have inherited his father's dedication to his career.

The two attendants shook their heads inwardly, lamenting that Xiaoyuer didn't know how to cherish women.

Pity!

Judging from the woman's elegant attire and impressive bearing, she must be a young lady from a wealthy family, and perhaps this is a good match for her!

The woman was taken aback when she saw Xiaoyuer leave so calmly and without any regrets.

Xiao Yu'er is handsome and has a distinguished background. He also saved her in a critical moment. Under these circumstances, it's hard not to be moved and it's natural to develop feelings for him.

According to the storybook, she was so beautiful, and the other person was so handsome and extraordinary; they were a perfect match, a match made in heaven. After she expressed her gratitude, the other person should have taken the initiative to help her with the rest of the matter, and then she could have naturally invited him to dinner or to her home as a guest. So where did things go wrong?

When they reached the second floor, the shopkeeper had already come up, but he was still dazed due to the sleeping potion.

Looking at the blood-soaked pool in the corridor and the several seriously injured people groaning, he wasn't too surprised.

He's been running an inn for decades, and he's encountered quite a few of these petty scoundrels in the past, but he hasn't run into them much in recent years.

I also have experience in handling these kinds of things.

Although his head was still spinning, the shopkeeper reflexively bowed and apologized to Xiaoyuer and the others as usual, then waived part of the fees, and prepared to report the matter to the authorities.

"No rush," Xiaoyuer didn't care about the room fee at all. Seeing the group groaning and complaining, he became annoyed and kicked each of the injured men hard, causing them to vomit blood. It was clear that their internal organs had been injured.

He then lowered his head and pressed, "You've been watching me all along, haven't you? Ever since I left the capital?"

Actually, Xiaoyuer wasn't entirely sure. He just felt uneasy about something behind him when he first left Beijing, but he didn't see anything unusual at the time, so he let it go.

But this also indirectly led him to abandon the crowded Yanqing route and instead go to Changping.

I said that just to bluff them.

Seeing the ruthlessness in Xiaoyuer's eyes, the men felt a chill in their hearts and quickly begged for mercy: "Young Master Zhang, we were forced into this situation. We didn't mean to offend you. Please be merciful and let us go. We'll never dare to do it again!"

Little Fish's heart sank upon hearing this; he had indeed guessed correctly.

"Tell me! Who sent you?"

“Well… there are rules in this business. If Young Master Zhang can let us off the hook, we will definitely tell the truth,” one of them struggled weakly.

"You're about to die, and you're still trying to negotiate?" Xiaoyuer's eyes were indifferent as he pulled out a small dagger from his pocket and played with it. "Do you think you have any right to negotiate? Even if you're going to die, there are many ways to die. I have a hundred ways to make you wish you were dead. Do you believe me?"

Seeing the chilling light in Xiaoyuer's eyes, the man shivered and involuntarily confessed, "It's Abbess Miaozhen from Sanqing Nunnery."

"is her?"

Little Fish really didn't expect that what he thought was his father's political enemy was actually a lie!

It seems that his family was too kind to his nominal third aunt in the past!
