When Pei Taizhi saw Ruan Hongtian who was galloping towards him, he was startled for a moment, and he recognized him. He immediately dismounted from his horse and stepped forward to help him up.

"Master Pei, I am going to Yu County on this trip. I could go ashore in Fuyang today, but I don't know why the prisoner sneaked into my family's big boat, and now he has taken my daughter as a hostage. If he is forced to rush, we will I'm afraid that something bad will happen to my daughter, I beg Mr. Pei to show more mercy!"

Ruan Hongtian loved this daughter very much, seeing her being held hostage by someone, he said that it was not an exaggeration to say that her heart and liver were taken away by someone, and when he spoke, his voice trembled.

Mingyu was blocked by someone with a knife, and that person was obviously a desperado, had she ever thought of such a scene before?Naturally, he didn't dare to move. When he was in a panic, he saw Pei Taizhi appearing from a distance. His father knelt down and was lifted up by him, and said something hastily to him.He turned his head and looked over, and the two looked at each other.Under the scorching sun at noon, I saw him squinting his eyes slightly, and couldn't tell what his expression was, but his palms and back were already drenched with sweat.

In the previous life, she married him at the age of 16, and died at the age of 20. After four years, plus the extra years of living in this life, Ming Yu feels that she still doesn't know what kind of person Pei Taizhi is.

Under such a situation, would he think about the relationship he had a few years ago and think about her?

She really wasn't sure, she just opened her eyes wide and stared at him, waiting for his next decision.

When Pei Taizhi had just arrived on horseback, he saw from a distance at the side of the porthole of the large ship parked at the gate for inspection, a girl in green shirt was stabbed to the neck with a knife by a man behind her.Hearing Ruan Hongtian's words at this moment, he immediately looked over.Seeing that the wanted criminal was already hiding by the side of the porthole, with only half of his head exposed, the girl was pushed to the window, with a gleaming dagger on her neck, standing there with a white face , with the same eyebrows and eyes, he recognized at a glance that she was the Miss Rongyintang whom I had met when I was in Jiangzhou a few years ago.

Pei Taizhi hesitated for a moment, then walked slowly towards the pier, all the officers and soldiers looked over and followed him.The same is true for Captain Wang, watching him pass by him, his eyes falling on his back, just waiting for his order, and he will definitely follow the order.

After following him for several years, he is extremely convinced of his superior's judgment, especially this time, he is even more admirable.

Three days ago, the Grand Fu Xuanzheng was assassinated and killed on the way back to the mansion. The assassin fled immediately after succeeding.When the news spread, everyone in the court was shocked. Emperor Zhengde was furious and ordered Pei Taizhi to hunt down the murderer with all his strength.He was ordered to track all the way, found the assassin's whereabouts in this area, and led people to round up.Unexpectedly, the assassin was extremely ferocious, even though he was injured, in the end he broke through the encirclement and jumped into the river to escape.He was deeply terrified, and after pleading guilty to Pei Taizhi who came over, he said he wanted to make up for his mistakes and lead people to continue the search southward along the canal, wanting to see people alive and dead bodies.But he stopped him and told him not only to set up a checkpoint at the mouth of the river going south, but also not to let go of the direction going north to Beijing.Although he was a little puzzled at the time, he didn't dare to ask more questions. He followed his instructions and set up checkpoints on the north-south waterways in this area to check the passing ships.Now, the assassin was indeed found in the boat going north.It was only at this time that I was a little stunned.Ordinary people only think that if the assassin is still alive at this time, they just wish they could grow a few more legs and go in the direction of escaping the capital quickly. How could they think that he would do the opposite?If he hadn't followed the order and set up a checkpoint on the north-facing river, he might be chasing him further and further away now.

"Go away, take a step closer, I will cut her neck first and then kill myself!"

Seeing Pei Taizhi approaching from the cabin, the assassin suddenly showed his face and yelled sharply.

She was extremely confused at first, but now that the matter has come to this point, she gradually calmed down, and raised her eyes to look at Pei Taizhi who was opposite.

Pei Taizhi finally stopped, standing on the pier on the shore more than ten steps away from the big ship, looking at the girl from the Ruan family who was taken hostage in the porthole.

In the past few years, he has never forgotten the girl on the opposite side.Or rather, it's hard to really ignore her.In fact, he didn't think of her very much on weekdays, but at this moment, when his eyes met her again, several past memories related to this girl suddenly rushed out as if awakened.

The first time he saw her was the strange encounter in front of the Wangshan Tower in Yiyuan; Up to now, he still remembers in his mind that night when she was shot by a fireball and fell to the ground on the dragon boat. When he squatted in front of her and wanted to pick her up, she looked at him with a bewildered look.At that moment, he even had a brief delusion, if a person had a past life, would he be the one who had an unbroken entanglement with her?
She should also be very scared now, he noticed that one of her hands was tightly grasping the window lattice, her nails were so white that no blood could be seen.But in the way she looked at him, he couldn't find the look of begging for mercy.

"Who ordered you to assassinate Master Xuan?"

Pei Taizhi asked.

"I have a grudge against him, and I have nothing to do with others! If you keep talking, I will stab her to death first!"

The blade in the assassin's hand tightened, and Ming Yu felt a stabbing pain on the side of her neck, presumably her skin had been cut.

"Master Pei! Lord Pei!"

Ruan Hongtian saw a streak of dark red blood oozing from the skin of Ming Yu's neck along the blade, and was so shocked that his liver and gallbladder burst.

Pei Taizhi frowned slightly.

It is extremely important for him to capture the assassin on the opposite side alive.

The matrilineal power of the crown prince is declining day by day, and he himself is lazy by nature. Emperor Zhengde often criticizes him in private that he has no courage to be an emperor.On the other hand, the third prince, Zhao Weijun, has grown older over the past few years. Not only has he withdrew his youthful edge, but he has also handled all the affairs assigned by the emperor properly. Many ministers in the court have begun to wait and see, and even secretly speculate on the emperor's mind.Only this old man Xuanzheng strongly recommended the prince, and often praised him in front of Zhengde for his generosity and compassion.Because Xuan Zheng was a veteran of the two dynasties, and together with Pei Taizhi's patriarch An Zaisong, he was once Zhengde's tutor when he was young, so he has a very high prestige on weekdays, and even Zhengde respects him very much.I don't think he would be assassinated to death in the market like this, it really has to make people suspicious.

If other people are held hostage by this assassin, even if they don't immediately order people to surround and arrest them, they will definitely not let him go.It's just that the person being held hostage now is this girl from the Ruan family...

"Today, I will either live or die! I will never fall into the hands of you guys! Get out of the way, I want a fast horse!"

The assassin next to Ming Yu seemed to sense his hesitation, and suddenly became excited, and tightened Ming Yu's neck with one hand, slashing a knife and shouting.

"Do as he says!"

Pei Taizhi pondered for a moment, and finally said to Wang Xiaowei beside him.

Xiaowei Wang was stunned, a little surprised, but he didn't dare to say more, he responded and hurriedly went to prepare.

Ruan Hongtian didn't expect that Pei Taizhi would let the murderer go like this.Although his daughter was still in his hands, it was better than blood splashing three feet on the spot, so he calmed down and said loudly to the man: "Master Pei promises to let you go! Don't hurt my daughter!"

"When I get to a safe place, I will let her go!"

Ming Yu heard the person behind him sneer, but still held her hostage and slowly moved out of the cabin.On the pier, the many officers and soldiers who had been surrounding had retreated a bit, and a horse that met his request was parked in the open space. Pei Taizhi stood with his hands behind his back a dozen steps away, his eyes cast over, but his face was as gloomy as water.

"Ayu, don't be afraid, Dad will definitely rescue you!"

Ruan Hongtian saw his daughter with a pale face, being held by the man to the bow of the boat step by step, and approaching the horse, but he was helpless, with some tears bursting out of his eyes, and said with a choked voice.

"Father, my daughter is not afraid. Don't worry too much..."

Ming Yu didn't want her father to be too sad, so she forced a smile at him.

"Go away, retreat fifty paces away, no one is allowed to stay!"

The murderer interrupted Ming Yu's words and yelled at the officers and soldiers on the shore.

"grown ups?"

Wang Xiaowei tentatively looked at Pei Taizhi.

"Since I agreed to let you go now, I will never stop you again. You don't want to hurt this girl! As for the future, it depends on whether you have the same luck as today!"

Pei Taizhi looked at the big man and said loudly.

The big man was stunned, and saw that the officers and soldiers surrounding the pier followed Pei Taizhi's words, and they all slowly retreated, leaving an empty path in the middle, without saying much, he pushed Mingyu to the shore.

"Master Pei, how can such a repeat offender let him go!"
