On this day in Jinling, it rained heavily at night. The sound of the rain sounded like a piano player playing the piano randomly. It was extremely chaotic and crackling. The raindrops were like soybeans, beating on the ground, splashing water, and hanging curtains on the eaves.

At this night, Zhuangyuan Street was no longer as bustling as before. Except for a few restaurants and inns, the lights were still on, and some grocery stores were still open. This heavy rain soaked away the street vendors, and also the street vendors.

pedestrian.

At a glance, in addition to the dripping water splash on the long street, there is only a little bit of light reflected by the stagnant water. There are people in restaurants who are still drinking, and there are also tenants in inns who have not yet rested. However, under the heavy rain,

, all seem to be unusually quiet.

At the entrance of the street, in a tavern, a dozen or so people in raincoat clothes were divided into three tables and sat quietly. They all ordered three or two side dishes, and there was also a jug of wine on each table, but no one drank.

Under the coir raincoat, there are hidden knives that have been unsheathed.

One of them is Xue Hongyi, the head of the Jinling Tixing Sizheng Banner.

The other men in coir raincoats are all Jinling policemen.

"Tap tap tap"

I don't know how long it took, but I suddenly remembered the sound of hurried footsteps at the other end of the long street. Looking out, I saw a masked man with a big knife running towards me, with a lot of blood on his back.

Behind the masked man, more than a dozen policemen were chasing after him. Water splashed on the ground, and the accumulated water was scattered. There was a soft sound when he stepped down.

"superior!"

Xue Hongyi slapped the table, and instantly unsheathed the river-cutting knife on her waist. She took off her bamboo hat and threw it with all her strength, cutting through the rain curtain under the eaves like drops of blood.

Like a blade, it flew towards the masked man who was running wildly.

The big man fell back, bent his knees, and moved forward. The bamboo hat brushed against his hair, breaking the hair tie on the big man's head. Instantly, the masked man's wet hair fell down, making him even more fierce.

Xue Hongyi took the lead, and together with her, sixteen yamen agents rushed out with swords drawn, and cooperated with the six-door agents to block the roads at both ends of the street.

"I advise you to surrender without mercy, otherwise, I will kill you without mercy!"

The heavy rain fell violently, and water splashed on the streets.

The masked man who was running at high speed suddenly stopped, then looked around, tilted the blade, broke through a few drops of water, and said lightly: "Thirty-two people."

Having said that, the masked man's eyes suddenly turned blood red, as if the vast sea of ​​blood were burning, and the air was filled with hatred, infinite hatred!

Swinging the knife, the blade cut through the rain curtain, and the white light was dazzling, instantly lighting up the eyes of the two frontmen. A figure was like a ghost, seeming to be close in front of him or far away in the horizon.

Blood splashed out and mixed with the rain. The two figures flew out backwards, the rain curtain broke, the raindrops exploded, and the blood was like beads, as if they were connected in a line, but in an instant they fell vertically and hit the water surface, splashing

A pool of water spreads rapidly. It makes two clanging sounds.

The sea of ​​blood in the masked man's eyes was still boiling, and he said in a very calm tone: "Now there are thirty!"

"Arrogant!"

Xue Hongyi snorted coldly, looked at each other for a breath, and instantly swung the knife to pierce the dense rain curtain. Almost his whole body turned into a gust of wind and disappeared into the rain. The knife cut through the sky, suppressed the distracting thoughts in his heart, and vomited all his thoughts with that loud shout.

The turbid energy in his heart seemed to be overwhelming, and he struck out with an extremely domineering sword.

…………

There is a mist of rain outside the window, and a few oil lamps in the room are lighting up. A figure sitting upright is leaning against the wall. Du Ruo is sitting in front of the case, with a wisp of tea mist, and the handwriting on the book in his hand is elegant.

While turning the pages, Du Ruo accidentally glanced at a pink purse on the corner of the desk. He was slightly startled. Su Ruyu's face appeared in his mind. He couldn't help but raise a smile at the corner of his mouth, and slowly put down the purse in his hand.

book and picked up the purse.

This purse was a gift from Su Ruyu that day, saying it was a peace charm.

Mentioning the Peace Talisman, Du Ruo sighed slightly. He had a very ugly Peace Talisman before.

Gently untying the knot on the purse, Du Ruo was stunned. What was inside was not a peace charm at all, but a banknote worth fifty taels!

Du Ruo thought for a moment and guessed that he must have left in Wangjiang Tower in a hurry. Su Ruyu saw the embarrassment of being short of money and deliberately used this method to help him.

"Is this...a little embarrassing? I'm afraid this girl has misunderstood something. I really don't need this little money!"

Du Ruo hummed, put away his purse, and shouted softly: "Blackhead!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Heitou walked out from behind the bookshelf, cupped his hands and said, "Young Master."

Du Ruo stood up and put the books on the table back on the bookshelf, and said, "Go and investigate now to see if Miss Su Ruyu is still in Jinling."

The black head scratched the back of his head, feeling a little confused: "Master, I have something I don't know whether I should say or not. Don't be angry. I know Miss Su is very beautiful, versatile and famous, but she is a prostitute after all.

, it would be fine if you are taking a concubine, but if you are... it is really inappropriate, and it will not be consistent with your identity if this is spread."

Du Ruo turned around and said, "What are you thinking about? I'm looking for her because I have other things to do. Don't think about it here and there. Don't say I haven't thought about that. Even if I have an idea, it won't be now, it will be done soon."

It’s time to take the exam, how can we have such free time to spend time with our children?”

Blackhead chuckled and said, "That's fine, that's fine, I'll go look for it right now."

Watching Hei Tou leave with the door, Du Ruo shook his head helplessly. It was indeed a time gap. In the previous life, Su Ruyu would have been a shining star and was sought after by countless people. But in this era, a promiscuous woman would beat her up with just one word.

Entered the lower realms.

With Du Ruo's status, if he really takes Su Ruyu, as Heitou said, it will be a joke in the world.

"If you are born at the wrong time, why bother?"

Regarding this situation, Du Ruo could only sigh and had no other choice. Don't say that he didn't have the strength to change the thinking of this era. Even if he had the strength, there was no need.

…………

Late at night, Du Ruo heard a mottled noise in his light sleep. It was still raining heavily outside, but there were many messy footsteps and chaotic voices, and the sound became more and more harsh.

Suddenly, Du Ruo pricked up his ears. It seemed that many people rushed into the inn. Everyone in the inn who was already sleeping woke up, and it suddenly became more noisy.

Du Ruo gently opened the door and saw that there were many police officers searching everywhere in the corridor, going from room to room. At the end, Xue Hongyi, dressed in a raincoat, stood with a knife and a serious look on his face.

Du Ruo walked over, cupped his hands and said, "Xue Captou, what's going on?"

Because most of the people in this inn were scholars like Du Ruo, all dressed in the same way, coming and going, Xue Hongyi hadn't noticed Du Ruo until Du Ruo greeted her, and she said: "Capture that serial killer"
