Yu Jiu is investigating how the news of "the county guard's sudden death" got out?

Not many people know about this matter, except for the people inside Tianmen, there are only the housekeeper and doctor of the prefect's mansion.

Yu Jiu ordered people to bring the housekeeper and the doctor over here. He planned to investigate these two people carefully to see if one of them had disclosed the news to the outside world?

As a result, the people he sent out only found the housekeeper, and the government doctor was nowhere to be found.

It is obviously very unusual to suddenly disappear at this juncture, and Yu Jiu's suspicion of the government doctor has doubled.

The government doctor usually lives in the county guard's mansion, which is more convenient for the nobles in the mansion to see a doctor and take care of their bodies, but the family of the government doctor lives outside.

Yu Jiu wanted someone to go to the government doctor's house to pick someone up, but after asking, he found out that no one in the entire county guard knew where the government doctor's family lived?

As for the information of the government doctor's family members, they don't know anything.

Things have come to this point, if Yu Jiu doesn't know that the government doctor has a problem, he is a fool!

He was about to order someone to close the gate of the city and search the whole city for the doctor, when he saw a servant running over in a hurry.

"Madam Qi, something happened to the Sheriff!"

Yu Jiu was startled: "What happened to him?"

The servant gasped and said: "The people in the front yard came to report just now, saying that Lord Sheriff suddenly attacked the guard around him for some reason, and another guard drew his sword directly at him. Fortunately, General Ding made a move in time. I saved the governor, and the two guards are dead now."

Yu Jiu's complexion got worse the more he heard it.

Others don't know why the sheriff suddenly attacked the guards, but he knows it very well.

Those two guards were sent by him to monitor Jian Shujie. Now that Jian Shujie killed those two guards, it was obvious that he wanted to sing against Tianmen.

As for why Jian Shujie did this...

In all likelihood, it was because he already knew the truth about his wife's death.

Without the hostage Mrs. Sheriff, Tianmen would have no bargaining chip to control Jian Shujie, and Jian Shujie was full of hatred for Tianmen at this time. Once he turned over, he would launch a crazy counterattack against Tianmen.

Things have completely escaped Tianmen's control!

Yu Jiu turned around and walked out.

Seeing this, the servant girl who was serving at the side hurriedly chased after her: "Ma'am, your illness is still not cured, and you need to rest in peace, you can't go out casually!"

But Yu Jiu didn't even look at the maid, and the speed of her feet became faster and faster.

In a blink of an eye, the maid was left far behind,

In the end, Yu Jiu directly used lightness kung fu to easily climb over the wall and fly out of the Sheriff's Mansion.

But the moment he landed, his body froze suddenly.

Not far ahead, more than twenty Yulin Guards were holding bows and arrows, pointing the arrows at him.

Every bowstring was stretched taut, and those metal arrows shone coldly in the sun.

As long as Yu Jiu dared to move, those arrows would roar and shoot him into a sieve on the spot.

Shang Kui in military uniform stood at the front of the queue.

With one hand on the saber at his waist, he grinned, revealing a mouthful of snow-white teeth.

"Why did the wife of the magistrate leave the front door open, but wanted to climb over the wall like that thief?"

Yu Jiu stood up straight slowly, her eyes swept over the bows and arrows in the hands of the Yulin Guards, her face was extremely ugly.

He ignored Shang Kui's joke and asked coldly.

"Are you deliberately waiting here for me to throw myself into a trap?"

Shang Kui admitted frankly: "That's right, the Lord Sheriff has turned his back on the water. When you heard the news, your first reaction must be to run away. We'll just wait here for you and wait for the rabbit."

Yu Jiu realized in an instant: "The servant who reported the letter just now, was it arranged by you?"

On the front foot, someone sent a letter to him, informing him that the sheriff had betrayed him, and on the back foot, he was waiting outside the sheriff's mansion to throw himself into the trap.

This is a series of tricks, no matter which step he takes, he will fall into the opponent's trap.

Shang Kui's smile became more and more smug.

"Yeah, you didn't realize it until now?"

Yu Jiu gritted his teeth with hatred: "Haven't you already left the city?"

Shang Kui: "We are indeed out of town, but we are back again."

Seven days ago, he took Yu Linwei to leave Fufeng City, and did not go far, but hid near Fufeng City.

According to the plan that Wen Jiucheng had discussed with them in advance, they had to find a way to sneak into Fufeng City during this period of time, but because Yu Er and Yu Jiu were too cautious, they strengthened the defense and investigation of each city gate, so they couldn't find it. Opportunity sneaks into town.

Until this morning, the news of the sheriff's sudden death came out of the city.

The generals in charge of guarding the city gate panicked immediately, and they hurried to the county guard's mansion to verify the truth.

The county guard's mansion attracted the attention of a large number of people, causing the guards at each city gate to become loose.

Shang Kui seized this opportunity and led Yu Linwei into the city again.

Almost as soon as the sheriff took action, Shang Kui rushed to the vicinity of the sheriff's mansion with Yu Linwei.

The timing was just right.

Looking at Yu Jiu who was at the end of his rope, Shang Kui asked leisurely.

"Are you going to fight first? Or are you just going to get caught without a fight?"

When Yu Jiu knew that he had nowhere to go, he calmed down instead.

he asked blankly.

"If I want to fight, can I choose to fight one-on-one?"

Shang Kui refused very bluntly: "No, you only have two choices, either one of us singled out all of us, or all of us beat you together, you choose yourself."

Yu Jiu was immediately laughed out of anger: "I thought General Shang was an upright person, but I didn't expect to be so proficient in playing scoundrels."

Shang Kui said frankly: "A truly upright person would never go to officialdom."

Yu Jiu agreed with this statement.

He raised his hands in a gesture of surrender.

"This time I was careless, I admit it."

Seeing him so decisively choosing to let him go, Shang Kui put away his smug smile and became cautious.

Shang Kui deliberately selected two Yulin guards with better skills and ordered them to go forward to arrest people.

The rest of the people still held their bows and arrows, maintaining a posture that could shoot arrows at any time.

The two selected Yulin Guards were very cautious. They held a chain in one hand and a knife in the other, and slowly moved in front of Yu Jiu in a ready-to-fight posture.

Yu Jiu kept his hands up all the time, without any superfluous actions.

The two Yulin guards successfully grabbed Yu Jiu, tied his hands behind his back, and handcuffed him with chains.

Until then, Shang Kuifang relaxed a little.

He looked at Yu Jiu who was firmly restrained, showing a rather surprised expression.

"I thought you would find a chance to sneak attack."

Yu Jiu said calmly.

"The premise of a sneak attack is that the other party is unprepared, but now you are all facing the enemy, even if I want to sneak attack, I can't find a chance.

What's more, I still have injuries on my body, and my reaction and speed have declined.

If we really want to fight, my chances of winning are almost zero.

Since I'm doomed to be defeated, why should I humiliate myself? "
