Chapter 397
The smell of blood permeated.

A short arrow shot out through the throat, brushed the temples of the two, and nailed to the wall behind them with a "clank".

The dagger in Wang Ergou's hand fell to the ground. He raised his hand to touch his neck and found a blood hole. The blood that flowed out stained his hand red.

Wang Ergou looked in horror at the scarlet sticky hands, shocking under the firelight.

With a "bang", Rong Jiu heard a dull sound of falling to the ground, turned around suddenly, and saw a familiar figure standing not far away. The biting killing intent disappeared instantly when she looked over.

Rong Jiu froze.

Standing under the moonlight, Shen Cheng's clothes were wet with Yelu, which made him as cold as frost. Only those deep black eyes were filled with tender affection.

Rong Jiu ran over happily: "Master, why are you here?"

"If I don't come, how do I know that you don't even want your life to save other men?"

Shen Cheng's indifferent voice made her heart skip a beat.

It's over, the beauty has overturned the vinegar jar!

Rong Jiu smiled stiffly: "The city is closed, how did you get in?"

Shen Cheng's black eyes were deep and quiet, his emotions unpredictable, and he just asked lightly: "Is that why Ah Jiu doesn't want to see my husband?"

Hearing the emotionless tone, Rong Jiu also knew that the beauty Xianggong was annoyed by her.

Because she went to save Chu Xun regardless of her life?
Rong Jiu remembered that when she turned her head, she saw his face was cold, but hiding panic and paleness, she felt a little guilty.

Pulling his sleeves, she leaned into his arms obediently, and said softly: "Msanggong, I miss you."

The corners of Shen Cheng's lips moved, with a hint of joy, but he still said in a calm voice: "I have some accounts, I will help you remember them, and I will settle them slowly with you."

Rong Jiu said angrily: "...Stingy!"

A light cough suddenly sounded behind Shen Cheng.

Rong Jiu was startled, raised her eyes and saw Mu Feng hiding in the dark, and understood everything.

Mu Feng is a secret guard, so there is no difficulty in bringing Shen Cheng into the city.

Rong Jiuqiao blushed, and quickly changed the subject: "A patient has died, let's go and have a look."

Shen Cheng gave another faint "hmm".

When the two passed by, Rong Jiu saw the white powder on Chu Xun's sleeve and asked, "Brother, are you alright?"

Chu Xun shook his sleeves and said with a warm smile, "It's just lime powder, it's fine."

The body of Wang Ergou had been dragged down, and several people entered the villa, and Rong Jiu checked the dead body.

There was no external injury on the body of the deceased, and the death condition was similar to that of a sudden death caused by the epidemic, Rong Jiu said: "It should be poisoned."

Although Wang Ergou had already admitted that he was the one who killed the deceased, but so many things happened tonight, in order to reassure the people, Chu Xun still called Wu Zuo.

Wu Zuo finished the autopsy and reported, "Return to Your Highness, the deceased indeed died of poisoning."

The common people breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the words.

"Both the deceased and Wang Ergou are infected with the epidemic, so burn them immediately." Chu Xun finished his order, and when he looked at Imperial Physician Hu, his expression sank slightly. Suicide in fear of crime, the Hu family will be punished."

Imperial Physician Hu's complexion changed drastically: "Your Highness,"

Chu Xun's eyes were cold, looking at the fire in the dark night, his cold tone added a bit of chill: "When you set fire to the medicine shed, you should have thought about what will happen if you fail. You are full of fear and will be destroyed." , Have you ever thought that if you succeed tonight, how many people will die and how many Manchus will be wiped out on the day of massacre of the city?"

Doctor Hu's body was chilled, he could hardly stand still, he collapsed on the ground, and was dragged out by two soldiers.
