"Mr. Zhang."

Su Leyun was stunned for a moment. There was a patient in front of her and she couldn't leave, so she asked Cuiliu to follow him to protect Mr. Zhang.

After all, Mr. Zhang's current situation makes it a bit unsafe to be alone outside.

Cuiliu followed Su Leyun's instructions not far from Mr. Zhang and did not step forward to disturb Mr. Zhang.

It wasn't until there were more and more people around that Cuiliu came to her senses and realized that she had followed Mr. Zhang to the East Street Vegetable Market.

The news that the beheading was going to be carried out today had already spread, and there was an endless stream of people coming to see the fun.

Cuiliu accidentally missed Mr. Zhang, but fortunately found him again soon.

I saw Mr. Zhang pushing his way into the crowd, looking like he was going to get a good seat at the front to watch the excitement.

Cuiliu frowned slightly and quickly stepped forward.

I muttered in my heart, Mr. Zhang is old. If he sees this scene, will he faint?

Thinking of this, Cuiliu moved a little faster.

The people around said displeasedly: "Why are you squeezing? The prisoner hasn't come yet!"

Cuiliu apologized and continued to squeeze in.

Finally, he pushed through the crowd and ran inside.

Mr. Zhang was standing not far away, staring at the wooden platform that had been built.

Cuiliu walked a few steps and stood next to Mr. Zhang, but Mr. Zhang never noticed her.

After a while, soldiers came in and dispersed the crowd further.

Several men covered in black cloth and wearing prison uniforms were pushed onto the stage.

The men were suppressed by the soldiers behind them and knelt down.

Then, the black cloth was taken off.

Cuiliu recognized those people at a glance. Sure enough, they were all people who had performed juggling before.

Some people in the crowd seemed to still remember them and started whispering.

"Aren't those the young people who performed at Jade Tower before? Are they assassins?"

"That young man was quite enthusiastic and helped me move my things."

"What's wrong with this, why do you want to kill people? You can't do this again."

There was a mother who was educating the children around her. Seeing that she was about to be tortured, the mother couldn't bear it and pulled her children to leave.

On the high platform not far away, a man in official attire gave an order, and several executioners raised their swords one after another. As they watched the swords fall from their hands, and when the heads were about to fall to the ground, something unexpected happened suddenly.

One after another, men in black emerged from the crowd and headed straight for the stage.

The executioner's sword was knocked off his hand.

However, the surrounding forbidden troops reacted quickly and quickly stepped forward to fight with the man in black.

Screams and hurried footsteps spread around. Mr. Zhang was bumped by the tall man behind him and was held up when he almost fell.

Mr. Zhang turned his head and saw that it was Cuiliu.

"you……"

"Miss, I'm worried that something will happen to you. Please follow me."

Cuiliu supported Mr. Zhang and led him to a safe place.

People around were running and shouting, but they did not affect the two groups of people fighting on the stage at all.

Cuiliu and Mr. Zhang arrived at a hidden place.

The surroundings were very chaotic now. Cuiliu was worried that there would be accidents on the road, so she was not in a hurry to take Mr. Zhang away.

Not far away, the Forbidden Army could be vaguely seen running towards them.

It had only been a while since those men in black appeared. Cuiliu thought, I am afraid that today's matter is a trap.

The man in black also noticed the running imperial troops, but did not panic.

The man in black had already rescued the prisoner, and then fought a bloody path step by step.

"Take them away first."

Fan Yu faced the man in black next to him.

The other party caught a glimpse of the tattoo on his hand, and his eyes flashed, "You have to leave, there is someone outside the city to pick you up."

"Let's go!"

Fan Yu was pushed out by the man in black.

He gritted his teeth and finally did not look back. Instead, under the protection of the man in black, he broke through the encirclement.

When everything finally ended, it was already half an hour later.

The street in front of the East Street vegetable market is a mess. The ground is a mess after fruits, vegetables, pigs, sheep, fish and chickens were trampled on.

It was also mixed with blood.

Cuiliu raised her eyes and saw that there were still unknown people in black and the Forbidden Army lying on the stage.

She looked at Mr. Zhang, "Mr. Zhang, let's go back."

Mr. Zhang seemed to have not yet come out of the scene in front of him. He nodded somewhat dullly and followed Cui Liu.

The Forbidden Army was checking their identities. Cuiliu and Mr. Zhang were interrogated for a few words and then let go.

Back at Baicaotang, Su Leyun and others had been waiting at the door with anxious expressions.

They learned from some people that someone had robbed the execution ground, and were worried whether Cuiliu and Mr. Zhang would encounter those people.

When they saw the two people coming back, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Mr. Zhang, are you okay?"

Su Leyun looked at Mr. Zhang who was in a daze and asked worriedly.

Cuiliu had been helped to the other side by Lian Xin and relaxed.

After a while, Mr. Zhang seemed to come to his senses and shook his head, "I'm fine."

His voice was very weak, and it was not as fine as he said.

Doctor He took Mr. Zhang's pulse again and confirmed that his heart rate was still a little fast, so he relaxed.

"Mr. Zhang, please go back and rest first. This guy Xinping went to call Zhang Yang, but he hasn't come back yet."

"What did you say?"

Mr. Zhang's expression changed slightly when he heard what Doctor He said.

But because Mr. Zhang's face was already ugly now, no one noticed his change at this moment.

Doctor He was stunned, thinking that Mr. Zhang was angry, so he asked Xinping to find Zhang Yang, "I just saw that something was wrong with you, and wanted to ask Zhang Yang to take you back. Don't be angry."

Mr. Zhang frowned and stood up, "I'm not angry. I'll just go back by myself. Maybe I was delayed on the way to Xinping. I'll take a look when I go back."

After that, Mr. Zhang walked out.

Su Leyun was worried and stepped forward, "Mr. Zhang, let me go back with you."

Doctor He and Doctor Li still have to stay in Baicaotang and cannot leave, so only Su Leyun is more convenient.

"No need, I'll be fine alone."

Mr. Zhang still refused.

Seeing Zhang Laojian walking away quickly, Su Leyun frowned. She always felt a little strange.

After thinking about it, Su Leyun asked Cuiliu to explain what happened just now.

After learning that Mr. Zhang went to the vegetable market on his own initiative, Su Leyun vaguely felt that there was something wrong with it. Mr. Zhang didn't seem like someone who liked to join in the fun.

"I didn't expect these assassins to cause so much trouble."

Lian Xin sighed.

Su Leyun's heart moved slightly. She suddenly thought that the capture of these assassins seemed to fall on His Highness Prince Jin?

King Jin is now seriously injured in bed. Although it seems that he was sent to Yangzhou by Emperor Jianwen to deal with the matter, in short, no matter what the reason, King Jin should not be able to participate in the capture of the assassin this time. That is Who is doing these things?

Su Leyun was puzzled.

Because of what happened at the East Street Market, Baicaotang also closed its store earlier than usual.

Su Leyun also returned to Sun Mansion earlier.
