Young Master, Don't Show Off - Chapter 154

[Chapter 154: See You Later]

After practicing in the Yishu Academy with Lingyin and Princess Minghe, it was almost noon, and Lin Xiu went back with Lingyin.

He always went home for lunch at noon.

Qin Wan was really a breath of fresh air among the noble ladies in the capital. Xue Ning’er still hadn’t learned how to cook, not to mention Lingyin. Last time, she wanted to cook by herself, but found that she had no idea how to start.

Qin Wan was not there that day, and she wanted to cook a bowl of noodles by herself, but she didn’t know the ratio of flour to water, and whether to use cold water or warm water. After a busy day, she finally decided to go out to eat with Lin Xiu.

After that, Lingyin rarely went to the kitchen.

On the way home, Lin Xiu found that for some reason, the atmosphere on the street had become tense again.

Teams of guards rushed past on the street, each with a solemn look on their faces. Many passers-by were questioned, as if something big had happened again.

Yesterday, in order to capture the assassin who assassinated Huang Tao, many guards were dispatched, and even the four city gates were closed.

But Huang Tao was only the second son of the Huang family after all, so his status was naturally not as good as the real heir, and he was not dead. It was impossible for the whole city to stop operating for him alone. This morning, although the assassin was not caught, the capital returned to normal.

It was only a morning, and the outside became tense again, and it seemed more tense than yesterday.

Before he walked back to the house, Lin Xiu figured out the cause of the matter.

Huang Tao was dead.

This incident really shocked Lin Xiu.

He was in danger yesterday in women’s clothing, but he still failed to kill Huang Tao. Today, the defense force of the Huang family must have increased sharply, which is like a dragon’s den and a tiger’s lair. What kind of assassin could take Huang Tao’s life under the heavy protection of the Huang family? With

such strength, he had to admit defeat.

Lin Xiu’s doubts were soon answered.

The portrait of the assassin was posted, even covering the portrait of the beautiful assassin.

Lin Xiu looked at the plain-looking man on the wanted list, and after a moment of surprise and shock in his eyes, he said in his heart: “It’s him!” Lin

Xiu knew the man on the wanted list.

To be precise, he had met him once.

A few months ago, on the first day of the new year, he saw him in front of Chen Yu’s grave when he went to pay tribute to her.

The madam of Pinfang Pavilion said that he was an admirer of Chen Yu and used to hide in the dark to secretly watch her.

The man was not tall, plain-looking, and looked honest. He did not leave a deep impression on Lin Xiu. Lin Xiu did not expect that the second time she saw this face would be in such an occasion.

He turned around and said, “Lingyin, I suddenly remembered that I still have some things to do in the Qingli Division. You go back first. Just save some lunch for me.”

After that, he strode towards the Qingli Division.

For this kind of case, the Qingli Division will definitely intervene in the investigation.

In the Qingli Division, Lin Xiu quickly understood the ins and outs of the matter.

The man was a servant of the Huang family. He entered the Huang Mansion two months ago when the Huang Mansion was recruiting servants. In the past two months, he has been working diligently and conscientiously, and has been widely praised by the servants. People thought he was an honest man, but unexpectedly, this morning, he took the opportunity to bring chicken soup to the injured Huang Tao and cut Huang Tao’s neck with a knife.

It was an hour later when the people in the Huang Mansion found out that something was wrong. At that time, Huang Tao’s body was cold.

The dead cannot be resurrected, even if Miss Shuangshuang is invited, it is useless.

The murder of the second son of the Huang family shocked the entire capital. For such a serious case, the Secret Investigation Department and the Cleaning Department were dispatched at the same time to search the whole city for the murderer, but according to the time when Huang Tao was killed, the man should have escaped from the city long ago.

Xu Wenshu sighed, “No matter how careful you are, you can never guard against a thief in your own home. The second young master Huang is also a sinner. He has ruined countless women. This man must be here to seek revenge. He might be the relative of one of the girls he has ruined. So, people should be kind. If you do too many bad things, retribution will always come…”

Lin Xiu breathed a sigh of relief and felt particularly happy.

It turned out that he was not the only one who wanted to avenge Chen Yu.

Huang Tao might not understand until his death that his death was just because of a mere brothel girl. He might have forgotten that he had forced a brothel girl who had just turned good to death.

But someone didn’t forget.

Lin Xiu didn’t forget, and that man didn’t forget either.

A little person whom he wouldn’t even look at twice on weekdays eventually became the king of hell who wanted his life.

Xu Wenshu sighed again and said, “According to the latest news, that man has fled into Yunshan and killed the second son of Huang. Thousands of people went into the mountains to encircle him. He can’t escape. He will either die in the mouth of a wild beast or be caught by the Secret Investigation Department and the Imperial Guards. With the crimes he committed, he will inevitably be tortured to death. Fortunately, he has no relatives and friends, so he won’t implicate others…”

Lin Xiu once went into Yunshan with several students from the Martial Arts Academy to hunt down the murderer. Those murderers had countless lives on their hands. They were numerous and powerful, but only a few students from the Martial Arts Academy were dispatched.

This time, the Secret Investigation Department and the Imperial Guards dispatched thousands of people to catch an ordinary person for Huang Tao’s death.

After learning about these situations, Lin Xiu left the Secret Investigation Department.

Yunshan.

In the past, the mountain was sparsely populated, but today it is particularly lively.

Several magicians with flying abilities flew over the mountains and forests, patrolling back and forth.

In the forest, there were also countless figures, searching from hill to hill, not even letting go of a tree hole or a bush.

The son of the Duke’s Mansion was killed in the mansion. This was a provocation to the powerful and the court. Once this person was caught, he would be executed by slow slicing in public to serve as a warning to everyone.

They must see the consequences of provoking the powerful.

Just as everyone was searching for the murderer, an invisible figure slowly flew into the mountains.

Lin Xiu hid his figure and stood in the air.

When he closed his eyes, he felt countless breaths in the mountain.

Those were the animals in the mountain.

Soon, the detectives and guards who were searching for the murderer in the mountains found something strange.

The animals in Yunshan suddenly became active.

Groups of mice, rabbits, foxes, and wild boars ran past them from time to time. In the sky, there were also flocks of birds flying quickly, flying deeper into the forest…

“Strange, what’s wrong with these animals?”

“It feels weird.”

“Maybe they were startled by us. When have there been so many people in this deep forest…”

“Let’s find someone quickly. If we can catch him first, I’m afraid we won’t have to worry about food and clothing in this life…”

…

In Yunshan.

A figure was struggling to move forward.

This was a man, not tall, with an ordinary appearance. The clothes he wore had been torn by branches, and his face and arms were also covered with bloodstains from being scratched by branches. He was very tired, but he still walked deep into the forest.

He couldn’t stop because he knew the consequences of stopping.

He killed the second son of the Huang Guogong Mansion. If he was caught by those people, he would be cut into pieces.

He had seen people being cut into pieces.

Two years ago, a woman was raped by a powerful son. Her husband was angry and stabbed the powerful son with a knife. After being caught by the government, he was sentenced to Ling Chi.

The man wailed for three whole days, and 3,600 pieces of meat were cut off his body before he died in extreme pain.

He killed Huang Tao. If he fell into the hands of the government, the lightest fate would be the same.

But he didn’t regret it.

In the winter of a year ago, if it weren’t for Miss Chen’s bowl of rice, he would have starved to death on the street. His life was saved by her, and even if he returned it to her, it wouldn’t be a big deal.

But the culprit who forced her to death must die!

Even if he was the grandson of the Duke.

After sneaking into the Duke’s Mansion, he stayed with that man for more than two months before he finally found an opportunity.

It’s a pity that Miss Chen didn’t see the death of the beast with her own eyes.

Roar!

A roar brought Wang Er’s thoughts back to reality. He saw the bushes in front of him shaking, and a tiger

about ten feet long jumped out from them. The tiger stared at Wang Er with bloodthirsty eyes, squatting down, obviously treating him as prey.

Wang Er did not run away, nor did he panic.

He knew that he could not escape. Although dying in the tiger’s mouth was a bit miserable, it was better than being cut by 3,600 knives.

Wang Er closed his eyes, hoping that the tiger would be more decisive, if it could bite off his neck in one bite.

However, he waited for a long time, and the tiger did not move.

Wang Er opened his eyes and saw a scene that he would never forget.

In front of him, a stranger appeared. It was an extremely handsome man, and the ferocious tiger was lying at the man’s feet, shaking its head, like a well-behaved big cat.

The man patted the tiger’s huge head and said in a magnetic voice: “Well done.”

The tiger roared and rolled on the ground, obviously very happy.

Wang Er looked at the man and soon realized something. He was silent for a moment and said, “Give me a quick death.”

The man walked over slowly, patted him on the shoulder, and said, “You are very good.”

Not long after.

Outside the city of Kyoto, beside a stream on the official road.

Wang Er looked at the unfamiliar face in the stream, his expression blank and shocked.

A handsome man stood by the stream, with his back to him and his hands behind his back, and said calmly: “There are wanted posters for you everywhere in the city, and they may be posted in other places in the future. Your original face is no longer usable. You have to adapt to this new face…”

Then, he took out a stack of silver notes from his sleeve, handed it to Wang Er, and said: “Here are 10,000 taels of silver notes, which are enough for you to live a life of ease and comfort. You can go back to the capital and use the money to do some small business, or you can take the money and go far away, never come back here, and start a new life.”

Wang Er took the silver notes, and after a moment of silence, he looked up at the man in front of him and asked: “Why did you save me and give me so many silver notes?”

This man could fly, change his face, and gave him so much silver, but Wang Er did not recognize him.

The man said: “You killed a damned man. In the future, many women will be spared from Huang Tao’s murderous hands because of your knife. This is what you deserve.”

After saying this, his body floated up and flew away with the wind.

Wang Er chased after him and shouted, “I have no way to repay you for saving my life. Please let me know your real name. After I settle down, I will set up a longevity tablet for you and kneel down to pray for your blessing and longevity every day…”

From the sky in the distance, there was laughter: “You are an unknown person, not worth mentioning. The road ahead is long, and we will never meet again…”

(End of Volume 1)

I always write the next day’s chapter the day before, and get up in the morning to post it. These days, I write later and later, and get up later and later. I have set the alarm to update the chapters several times before, which made it even more chaotic, so I never used it again. Starting tomorrow, I will set the alarm to update at 8 o’clock.
