Chapter Eighty-Two: Massacre
ghted. "You're a lady from a good family and close to Funiu. To be honest, I'm hoping Funiu will grow up big and strong, and you can help us guide her. This child is too smart; I'm always afraid she'l...Winter Plum nodded, silently pushing the half-open window open a little more, then floated out like a feather.
If the Li family saw this, they would surely be astonished.
She was just like any ordinary woman on a normal day, who would have thought she was such a master...
Under the moonlight, that shadow didn't notice anyone leaving the house.
He crept to the window of the east wing, secretly blew a puff of white smoke into the room, and then shut the window.
She wanted to make a second one just like it, but Dongmei could wait no longer.
This is the tactic of a lowly scoundrel.
How did the Li family provoke such a person
The dark figure was just about to continue smoking when suddenly he felt someone approaching from behind. He gasped in fright, and the smoke went down his throat instead of out.
He ducked to the side, avoiding Dong Mei's dagger, but in doing so he knocked over a copper basin by the wall.
"Bang!" The sound was especially loud in the dark night.
Each household in Li's family came alive, lights flickering on one by one.
Dongmei fought with the shadow, her brow slightly furrowed.
This person is quite skilled, it would take some effort for her to catch someone.
I'm also worried that the Li family will rush out and get hurt by mistake.
Then she shouted loudly, "There's a thief in the house! Don't come out, it's dangerous!"
Most houses had their windows open, and people could be seen peering out.
Under the moonlight, it's hard to see clearly, but I can make out some details.
Li Laotai was terrified, clutching her granddaughter and watching the fight in the courtyard, her arms trembling.
Jiayin was still a little dazed and hadn't reacted yet when Li Lao Tai had already gotten down to the ground.
Even in such a dangerous situation, Old Lady Li didn't know what she was thinking. She just felt safer with Young Master Ye by her side.
She didn't care anymore, she pushed the door open and went straight into the west room, quickly climbed onto the kang bed, and tightly shut the windows.
Then she thrust the jade pendant into Ye Gongzi's hand.
"Master Ye, please protect my little Fu Niu. If anything happens to our family, please take her with you."
Although Ye Gongzi was confident in Dongmei, she still accepted Jia Yin's words, "Don't worry, aunt."
Simply four words, yet they brought much comfort to Old Lady Li's heart.
She turned and ran out, grabbed the latch, pressed her ear to the door, watching the courtyard intently, ready to rush out to help at any moment.
Li Lao'er, Li Lao'san, and Jia Yi and Jia Huan were even more so.
Jia Xilai Jia An was sleeping with Tao Hongying, but at this moment, she felt both fear and curiosity. She hid under the window, her eyes wide with wonder.
Tao Hongying clutched them tightly, afraid they would run away.
Dong Mei struck harder and harder, this shadow was more troublesome than she had imagined.
At this moment, she missed her husband dearly.
She usually dedicated herself to attending to the young master's meals, clothing, and other needs, her skills paled in comparison to her husband's.
That shadow, perhaps sensing her weakness, moved towards the main door while fighting.
Needless to say, this was a plan to escape.
At this moment, a cry of surprise came from the east chamber. Li Lao Er had already collapsed to the ground.
The first blast of the dizzying smoke had just hit his house, and he'd inhaled quite a lot. Now he was lightheaded and weak, feeling as soft and pliable as mud.
Li Laosan and Jia Yi didn't know this, they still thought Li Laoer was injured.
Unable to bear it any longer, the two of them pushed open the window and jumped out.
Lao Li had a chopping axe in his hand, while Jia Yi held an iron rod issued by the鏢局.
Although they weren't very skilled in martial arts, they had their families to protect. They couldn't retreat even if they died.
That shadowy figure, while trying to deal with Dongmei, also had to dodge the axes and iron rods wielded by this uncle and nephew. For a moment, he was clearly on the losing end.
The shadow was also getting desperate, he braced himself against Dongmei's kick, and with the dagger in his hand, he turned around and lunged at Li Lao San.
Li Lao San was holding a chopper, about to bring it down, when he saw himself about to be stabbed in the belly.
A dart came flying from somewhere and plunged directly into the shadow's shoulder.
The shadow winced in pain, and Lao San's cleaver fell to the ground.
He only managed to dodge an inch, avoiding his chest, but his shoulder to arm was sliced clean off!
“Ah!” He cried out in pain, and Dongmei’s dagger and Jiayì’s iron rod also arrived...
Seeing the figure lying on the ground, half dead, everyone in Li's family couldn't help but react.
Jiahuan ran to pull out Li Laoer, and seeing that he was unharmed, quickly told the people at home.
Winter Plum called out to Tao Hongying, asking her to scoop a ladle of cold water and pour it onto Li Lao Er's face.
Li Laoer immediately woke up, but his limbs were still weak and he needed to recover slowly.
The crowd relaxed, holding their torches and ropes, they rushed into the courtyard.
Jia Yi directly tied up the visitor, hands and feet bound tightly, and kicked him a few times.
Winter Plum pulled the face mask down from her face and then rummaged through his belongings.
Inside the room, Jiayin hugged Ye Gongzi's neck, her eyes full of admiration.
Her family was unaware, but she knew all too well that the dart just now had been flung by Master Ye.
Such a dark night, from seven or eight zhang away, it was actually a hit!
This is the legendary master!
Master Ye wanted to go down, and when he looked down, he saw the little girl, and his saliva came out.
He couldn't help but laugh, he didn't need to worry at all. This girl was more excited than anyone...
In the courtyard, the Li family was baffled because they didn't recognize this person at all.
And all the members of the family are honest and law-abiding, and none of them have made enemies outside.
Where did this person come from
Could it be that the Li family's reputation for wealth has become so widespread that it attracts petty criminals seeking to make a quick buck
When Mr. Jian Ye brought Jiayin out, Old Madam Li hurriedly took her granddaughter.
Young Master Ye glanced at the newcomer and instructed Dongmei, "Take them down and ask them some questions. Don't scare the child."
Dong Mei quickly agreed, and Li Lao San and Jia Yi carried the person in directly to the firewood house.
Both were filled with hatred, yet incredibly bold, neither choosing to leave...
The Li family's commotion was unknown to the neighboring households, but it couldn't escape the notice of several elderly gentlemen next door.
Especially those on duty guarding the fields, they too came rushing over with axes and scythes in hand.
It is said that thieves broke into the house and nearly got caught. Several people were frightened, and they all thanked Master Ye...
After half an hour, Jia Yin and the others were drowsy, and Dong Mei finally brought Li Laosan and Jiayi into the room.
Li Laosan and Jia Yi both looked pale, unsure if it was the bad results or the fright.
Li Laotai was anxious and chased after, asking, “What’s going on Where did this person come from Do they plan to steal the silver”
Li Laosan shook his head, pondered for a moment, and felt he couldn't keep it hidden any longer. He tried to speak as delicately as possible.
"Mother, don't worry, let me explain. This man is a scoundrel from the underworld. He tried to rob Old Four and Master Liu earlier, but was turned back by them. He escaped, but was filled with resentment, so he crept into our home, wanting... wanting to kill us all!"
Massacre
Everyone gasped in surprise, their eyes widening.
Just then, Jia Yin instinctively hugged her grandma. It turned out that the whole family had almost gone to meet the Grim Reaper!
Fortunately, there were servants from Master Ye's family staying at home. Otherwise, first M would have smoked the whole family unconscious and then killed them to silence them. The plan was simply too detailed.
It was just as the villagers discovered, it was nearly dawn.
By then, the murderous bandits had long since fled.
None would know about their family, for Li Laosi, who lived far away, had died.
"That old fourth, old fourth..."
Li Lao trembled, her words incoherent, but everyone understood: she was worried about her son!
Li Laosan hurriedly said, "This person said that Lao Si killed their two men and was not injured."
Li Laotai let out a long sigh, tears streaming down her face. "I told Lao Si not to go out, but he wouldn't listen."
Tao Hongying and Zhao Yuru also had weak limbs, but they still tried to persuade the old lady.
"Mother, don't worry, Lao Si will probably be back in a few days."
Before the words even hit the ground, the sound of horses' hooves could be heard outside the door.
All eyes turned towards the entrance.
