Chapter 222

The weak are pitiful. If they are hidden in the dark and unknown, they are in hell. Only by exposing their injuries in the light can they be seen and helped.

So Xue Ting took the opportunity to cut down the grass and root, and bothered Pei ming to dig out all the dark women in the town and register them like Liao women. This is a kind of protection.

At least if there are soldiers who come to spend money and want to eat free food, or use violence to hurt people, there will be soldiers stationed to stand for them.

Of course, the news was private, which saved their face. They had to spend the night in the town because the task was too heavy to deal with in one day.

I hope there is no one who doesn't open his eyes and wants to sneak attack at night.

At night, Xue tingji and Pei Ming are not in a hurry to go to bed. They sit on both sides of the room, busy with their own affairs with the light.

Xue Ting, looking through the list of soldiers, reached for his cup without raising his head. Pei Ming patted him on the back of his hand. "That's my ink cup. Do you want to drink it?"

He said with a smile, "it's OK. I drank a lot of ink and smoked your mouth. We won't see anyone tomorrow morning."

Look at this man, you can see that he won't live long, and Pei Ming is almost busy, but he always feels that there is something missing. Can we really find out all the dark women just by doing this?

As soon as she frowned, Xue tingji was reluctant to give up. "I knew I wouldn't let you interfere. I'm tired of you. Go and have a rest first."

Pei Ming, who was interrupted, was impatient. "Oh, don't bother me. I just thought of where."

"What you should think about is what we're going to do tonight." Xue tingji picked her up and fell into the bed. Soon Pei Ming's voice came out, "Oh, don't tickle me!"

The post house they lived in was not luxurious. In order to show their trust in the military households in the town, they deliberately did not arrange guards. Anyway, even if someone came to assassinate them, they could handle it.

General Tan and captain Chang live in the next room. They are probably sleeping now. In the middle of the night, some soldiers come out to pee and creak on the wooden floor.

Xue tingji, who used to be noisy in the barracks before, didn't wake up, but Pei Ming didn't sleep very well. He finally waited until the corridor was quiet again. When he was half asleep, he suddenly heard a series of abnormal footsteps, and he was not sleepy.

Rough soldiers will not have such a light pace. They are like thieves. Is it really assassination? Who is so bold and fat?

The lightning flashed around in my mind. As soon as I got up to be on guard, I was suddenly hugged by Xue tingji, turned over and stuffed her inside the bed.

"Are you awake?" She asked in a false voice. Xue Ting motioned to silence her, then covered her with a quilt, while she lay on her side, waiting for the opportunity to kill at any time.

Pei Ming is not at ease. He secretly reveals half his head. The doors and windows of the post house are solid, and even the moonlight can't penetrate much. It's better to see the appearance of the comer.

Soon, the footsteps stopped in front of the door. Instead of coming in immediately, they went forward to Chang Xiaowei's door, and then came back. It seemed that they could not be sure which door to push.

The pace is so light. If it's not a woman, it's very skillful. If it's a assassination, it's impossible to not know which room the target sleeps in, right?

Pei Ming didn't think it was right. He pushed his back and said, "why don't you go out and have a look?"

Xue Ting shakes his head. Why bother yourself? Let's wait and see what happens.

Just outside the door, people were wandering. Suddenly, at the end of the corridor, there was another sound of rushing upstairs. Almost at the same time, the door of Chang Xiaowei's room opened.

The two sides' attack obviously scared the outsiders. They pushed the door open in a panic. Before they stood still, Xue tingji, who jumped out of bed, grabbed the throat.

Chang Xiaowei comes to the door with a lamp. He squints at the people who come upstairs and asks who they are. Xue Ting sees the real face of the assassin through the light instead of caring about the outside.

Women?

Pei Ming also put on his clothes and got out of bed. He didn't believe that this weak woman, shaking like a quail, could have the ability to assassinate her. Let Xue tingji let her go first.

However, as soon as he let go, the woman fell to the ground like mud, retreated in horror, neither screamed nor went mad.

General Tan, who was disturbed by the movement, also opened the door to check. Seeing that their posture was not right, they turned around and were about to run away.

But how can they escape the troops of the whole post house? They are bound up in all kinds of ways. Regardless of the purpose of coming here, it is a felony to disturb the general at night.

Just give those people to general Tan for interrogation. Pei Ming lights up the room and sees that the woman on the ground shrinks into a ball. Her thin and dirty clothes can't cover the scars on her arms, and her hair is very disheveled. She looks like a slave who has been bullied.

Chang Xiaowei didn't understand what was going on. He stepped into the room a little fiercely, which scared the woman even more, "please, please..."

The amazing thing is not that she begged for mercy without any reason, but that she spoke with imperial accent.

Pei Ming thought of the reason and asked Chang Xiaowei to evade first. Then he closed the door and squatted in front of the woman. "Are you a dark woman who was locked up? Who escaped to ask for help? "The woman didn't dare to answer casually. It was hard for her to put down her arms. She looked young and pretty.

Pity her, she must have suffered a lot. As soon as Xue tingji got close to her, he lowered his head. Xue tingji also stepped back, leaving two women to talk.

Pei ming helped her up, poured a cup of tea and handed it to her. He asked her his doubts straight to the point, "aren't you an official's family member?"

The woman nodded timidly and her eyes were soaked. "I was originally assigned to be a squatter girl at the border, but they sold me to this place..."

The people in her mouth should be the officers and soldiers who escorted the families of the criminals. It's no surprise that they have enough money to serve as human traffickers. Anyway, they are all slaves. They say that one died on the road. Can anyone trace them?

And look at this posture. When registering one by one during the day, this woman must have been hidden. Thanks to her intelligence, she escaped in the middle of the night and found here.

I believe that this woman must not be a special case. This is the loophole Pei Ming thought of before. It seems that there is no need to rush back tomorrow. The town can't escape cleaning after all.

I think Xue tingji's style will not stop until there is a bloodbath. In this way, we can thoroughly wash this seemingly peaceful town, but in fact it is like a deep pool, so that the soldiers left behind can be clean.

The woman who was finally saved recovered a lot after crying. She thanks Miss PEI for her kindness. Although Xue tingji was nervous when she came in, she was not so afraid.

Xue tingji yawned and asked her name. She said with a bitter smile, "my master gave me a name, Banliu."

This name is too frivolous, Pei Ming asked her original name, did not expect that this question actually asked a lot of things.

What's more, she and Xue tingji will return to the Imperial City in the future, which will play an important role in winning!
