The sky brightened, and the Commoners in the city woke up one after another, only feeling that they had the deepest sleep of their lives last night, and they were full of energy at this time.
Just as the Commoners were preparing to go out to work, suddenly, a shrill cry came from the direction of the only Inn in the city.
"Father——!!"
Some busybodies gathered in front of the Inn to watch the excitement.
They saw more than a dozen people outside the Inn, dressed in strong outfits and looking like People of the Jianghu, surrounding the Inn, shouting that they wanted to find out who the Murderer was.
Guests who had stayed overnight inside wanted to leave, but they were forced back by these people holding Weapons.
Seeing the other party's drawn knife and red eyes, the guests who wanted to leave did not dare to insist, and retreated back to the Inn lobby, but they inevitably cursed.
"Which Inn doesn't have a few people die? Who knows who you offended?"
"That's right, you don't think about what enemies you have, and you're making things difficult for us."
The guests gathered together and complained.
A young woman came down from upstairs, her face covered with tear marks, and her hands and body were still stained with undried bloodstains. It was Zhao Ying, Zhao Dehua's daughter.
Zhao Ying walked in front of the guests, first took a deep breath, and then bowed deeply.
"Everyone——" she choked: "I'm so sorry."
"I am the Young Head Escort of the Yanzhou Prefecture Tiger Might Escort Agency, Zhao Ying."
There are many Escort Agencies called Tiger Might in the world, but only a few are famous. Those who often travel in the Qi Lu Region have more or less heard the name of the Yanzhou Prefecture Tiger Might Escort Agency, and they all quieted down at this time.
Zhao Ying continued to say with difficulty: "The Head Escort of the Tiger Might Escort Agency, my Father Zhao Dehua, was harmed by Villains last night and Died tragically in this Inn."
"At this time, his corpse is still in the guest room."
"My father has been walking the Jianghu for more than ten years, and he is eager to help the public and is righteous, and never does evil to others. Everyone should have heard something."
"As a son, if my father is murdered, and I don't find out the truth and seek revenge, I will have no face to walk the Jianghu again."
"Today, I only ask everyone to do me a favor, considering my father's behavior for more than ten years."
Zhao Ying said, paused for a moment, and waved her hand.
More than a dozen Escorts who surrounded the Inn came in one after another, surrounded the guests, drew their Weapons, and looked at them coldly.
Causing the guests to retreat one after another, squeezing into a ball.
Zhao Ying bowed again and bowed deeply, saying: "This is a Vendetta. I will only check if everyone has Martial Arts in them. If not, I will immediately send you out with courtesy."
"If you have Martial Arts, please come with me. If it is found that it has nothing to do with Your Excellency, our Tiger Might Escort Agency will naturally offer an Apology!"
Although Zhao Ying was not old and had little experience in the Jianghu, she had been trained by Zhao Dehua for many years, and her own Disposition was also tenacious.
Suddenly encountering a major change, she could immediately force herself to calm down.
This set of words, with her pretty face, and her tearful but pretending to be calm attitude, directly put the originally dissatisfied guests on the spot.
Of course, the surrounding, covetous Escorts also played a significant role.
Immediately, a guest came forward and said: "Young Head Escort, don't blame us, we just don't know the inside story, and our words were a bit rash."
"I have long heard of Head Escort Zhao's reputation. If Young Head Escort wants to investigate, start with me."
Zhao Ying thanked him and stepped forward to hold the person's Pulse gate and carefully examined it.
Seeing that there was no True Qi in his body, and there were no traces of practicing Martial Arts on his body, she immediately bowed and apologized, and sent him out the door.
The remaining guests, seeing this, also cooperated with Zhao Ying to investigate honestly.
There were not many guests who stayed overnight last night, and in a while, the Inn lobby was empty. Among the guests last night, there was not a single person who practiced Martial Arts.
Zhao Ying didn't say much when she saw this, and turned to go upstairs to collect Zhao Dehua's corpse.
Suddenly, she remembered something, ran downstairs, grabbed the Innkeeper's hand, and sternly asked: "The three people who ate at the same table with us last night, which room did they stay in!?"
After getting the answer, Zhao Ying immediately called the Escorts upstairs and kicked open the door of Li Miao's three people's room.
It was already deserted.
Zhao Ying went forward and touched the Bedding, which was no longer warm.
"This Bedding is cold, and the people have been gone for at least Half an hour. The City Gate has just opened, if they were in a hurry to travel, why would they get up so early?"
"We were all Faint last night, and we woke up Half an hour ago to find that Father had already died. These three people had already left at that time, proving that they must not have been Faint."
"We met them the day before yesterday, and we were attacked. Last night, Father had an accident, and they also did not Faint, and left early."
"The guests who stayed overnight in the Inn last night, except for us, only these three had Martial Arts in them."
"This matter is absolutely inseparable from them!"
"It's these three people!"
She ran to the stable and saw that Li Miao's three people's horses were gone.
"If they were still in the city, riding horses would be very conspicuous. People are easy to hide, but horses are hard to hide. They must have ridden horses out of the city and escaped!"
Thinking of this, Zhao Ying immediately shouted: "Mount up! Out of the city! Chase!"
The group immediately mounted their horses and chased outside the city.
On the Official road, Li Miao, Wang Hai, Little Four, and Mei Qinghe, the four of them were riding horses.
Wang Hai looked at Mei Qinghe, who was falling behind and silent, and quietly said to Li Miao: "Commander, where did you catch this girl from?"
Li Miao tossed and turned all night last night, watched a good show, and at this time was satisfied, riding on the horse with his eyes closed for a nap.
Hearing this, he lazily replied: "The one who sought revenge the day before yesterday, from the Huashan Sect."
"Her Martial Arts is only a little worse than yours, and she has good talent and good character. In the future, I might give her a Secret Agent's Sign, and she will be your half Colleague."
Wang Hai immediately looked embarrassed: "She was the one who sought revenge on that Escort the day before yesterday... Commander, I smelled the Smell of Blood this morning."
"You didn't play that Escort to death last night, did you?"
Wang Hai was of course not questioning Li Miao's meaning.
Having been with Li Miao for many years, he knew his Commander's Temper: he liked to "play" Evil Person, and most of them were played to death. He basically maintained a respectful and distant attitude towards good people and would not harm their lives.
Wang Hai himself also practiced Claw Technique, called Remove Leaves, although the name was elegant, it actually meant "to remove the Branches and Leaves from a person's body, leaving a Human Stick", which was ten times more Ruthless than Zhao Dehua's Claw Technique.
Putting himself in their shoes, he of course also knew that with Zhao Dehua's Claw Technique, his Disposition would not be kind.
What troubled him was how to deal with that group of Escorts chasing after them. Li Miao was definitely too lazy to do it, and he would definitely have to deal with it then.
"Kill them all?"
"That's not impossible, but I'm afraid the Commander won't be happy."
Li Miao glanced at Wang Hai.
He had been on duty for twenty years, and the people under him came and went, but he kept Wang Hai by his side, and there was a reason for it.
First, he was very loyal, even Foolish loyalty.
Second, he only recognized Li Miao, and others couldn't control him.
Third, don't look at Wang Hai following Li Miao, looking like a harmless underling, and he would blush when Li Miao teased him a few times.
In fact, his Temper was very extreme, and his methods were ruthless and poisonous, often resorting to To eliminate the root of the problem, and he would be a great Scourge sooner or later if he was let out.
For those he recognized, he was submissive. But for others, Wang Hai was a ruthless Lackey of the Imperial Court, just like a model play, and everyone in the Embroidered Uniform Guard knew that Li Miao had a Wolf cub who ate people without spitting out bones.
Li Miao knew what Wang Hai was thinking and said: "If they chase after you, you can go and reason with them."
"Don't kill anyone."
Wang Hai said: "Commander, I don't know what's going on..."
"Otherwise, let Miss Mei go with me."
"Alright." Li Miao turned his head and shouted.
"Xiao Mei! You go with Wang Hai and reason with Zhao Dehua's men."
Mei Qinghe nodded silently, pulled the reins, and stopped with Wang Hai on the side of the road, waiting for Zhao Ying and the others to catch up.
Li Miao and Little Four rode their horses and continued on their way slowly.
