Traveled through time and became the darling of the whole family

"what!"

"Someone's dead, someone's dead!" The noise outside gradually became louder, and many people who were sleeping were woken up and walked out of their rooms to see what was going on.

Inside the room, the man in black covered Ye Ziyu's mouth with one hand, held a knife against Ye Ziyu's neck with the other hand, and whispered, "If you don't make a sound, I won't kill you. I'll leave in the chaos later. Don't even think about calling for help. Even if you don't die, if people outside see a man in your room in the middle of the night, your reputation will be ruined. I'm sure your parents won't want a daughter without a clean reputation, so I advise the best way for you to shut up."

Ye Ziyu nodded. The man in black noticed that the woman in front of him was extremely calm and not afraid at all, as if there was not a knife on her neck.

"Miss, weren't you woken up?" Li Qiu's voice rang out.

"I didn't hear any noise from the young lady's room."

"Miss, your sleep quality is too good. She didn't wake up even after such a loud noise."

Ye Ziyu rolled her eyes. These two maids didn't even come in to check. If something happened, they would have been gone long ago. By the way, isn't it said that Lixia is good at martial arts? If she is good at martial arts, her hearing should also be good. Why didn't Lixia hear this guy when he came in?

Ye Ziyu signaled to the man in black that she was going to sit up, and then made a gesture to keep quiet to ensure that she would not make any sound. The man in black loosened his hand and put the knife back.

Ye Ziyu: ??? You trust me so much.

Ye Ziyu sat up, hugged the quilt to her chest, and pointed to the coat on the shelf next to her to the man in black.

Man in black: ... He picked up one and threw it over.

With a snap, the clothes directly covered Ye Ziyu's head. Ye Ziyu angrily tore off the clothes. At the same time, Lixia heard the sound inside and knocked on the door, "Miss, are you awake?"

After Ye Ziyu pulled it off, she found that the person in the room had disappeared. She looked at the window and it seemed that he had escaped. "Well, why is it so noisy outside?"

Li Qiu and Li Xia opened the door upon hearing the noise and lit the candles. "The waiter at the inn was shocked to find that a guest had died. Huh? Miss, why is there a little red around your mouth?"

"Ah? Maybe I accidentally hit myself in the mouth when I was asleep." Ye Ziyu twitched her lips. "Why did he die out of nowhere? Let's go and take a look."

Li Qiu went forward to help Ye Ziyu put on her clothes. As soon as Ye Ziyu walked out of the room, she ran into Mother Yang. Seeing that Ye Ziyu was safe, Mother Yang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Miss, I'm afraid we will be delayed for some time. Someone has died in the inn. The innkeeper has just reported to the police. The officials have now surrounded the inn and are checking everyone. No one can leave unless the murderer is found."

"The entire inn is cordoned off? Does anyone know who the deceased is?" Ye Ziyu was a little puzzled. If it was just a civilian, the government would not let anyone go and would have to find the murderer to give an account.

"I've inquired and found out that the deceased was a farmer from Hecheng County." A guard came back to report after making some inquiries.

"Have you seen the body? What was the cause of death?" Ye Ziyu asked the guard.

"No body was found. The waiter discovered the body and the shopkeeper reported it to the police. The police arrived not long after. We learned the identity of the deceased from their discussion. I heard that the cause of death was a slash to the neck." The guard reported.

Ye Ziyu: Since we haven’t seen the body, the identity and cause of death are all speculation.

"How far is the government office from here? How long will it take for me to report to the authorities and then for the officials to come here?" Ye Ziyu asked.

"The government office is about 3 kilometers away from the inn. Even at the fastest speed, it would take at least quarter of an hour. But the officials arrived at the inn in less than quarter of an hour." The faces of everyone present changed.

Originally everyone thought that this matter had nothing to do with them and they just had to wait for the results to come out. But now that the young lady brought it up, everyone realized that something was not right.

Ye Ziyu: "So, was this a premeditated siege of the inn? Or was it just a coincidence?"

"Find a way to find the deceased. We must see the body with our own eyes." Ye Ziyu narrowed his eyes. What role did the man in black play in this incident?

the other side

"Boss, the whole inn is surrounded, what should we do now?" A man sitting next to the round table asked the person standing next to him.

"Damn it! If this woman wasn't so delicate and the previous owner wanted to keep her alive, there would be no need for us to stay in the inn. But now we have to deal with something like this. Let's go and find out what's going on." The man sitting at the round table glanced at the woman tied to the bed. Her hands and feet were tied up, and her mouth was blocked by a white cloth. She looked at the man with hatred.

"Don't look at me like that. It's your own fault that you offended someone. You should be glad that person didn't hire anyone to kill you directly." said the gangster boss.

Woman: ...I should thank her?

After this disturbance, everyone lost all desire to sleep. Ye Ziyu sat at the table playing with the teacup, while the others were a little anxious.

Seeing this, Ye Ziyu said, "Don't be so anxious. We haven't offended anyone, and they are not targeting us."

Mother Yang: "I'm afraid that this delay will make it a few days later before I can get home."

"It's okay. If we travel a little further on the road, we can speed up the process." Ye Ziyu sighed. But with my body like this, I'm afraid I'll suffer.

After a while, the guard came back and said, "Miss, I saw the body. It was indeed killed by a single blow. Judging from the clothes, it looks like a farmer. We can't get close to him and we can't be sure if he is a real farmer. But when I came back, I found some movement in a room. I secretly looked and saw a woman tied up. There were three or four people in the room, three rooms away from us."

"A woman was kidnapped? What was she wearing?"

"She looks like a lady from a wealthy family."

"It seems that the police came to look for the kidnapped woman. They followed the trail and found the vicinity. They happened to encounter a murder case, so they surrounded the inn." Lixia analyzed.

Ye Ziyu nodded and said, "See if there is a chance to rescue the woman quietly, and try not to argue with the guards." Ye Ziyu said to the guard who had just returned from the investigation.

"Yes, I'll go right away." The guard turned and left.

"What was the name of that guard just now? He looked different from the other guards." Ye Ziyu looked at Li Qiu.

"My lady, his name is Yifeng, and he is a secret guard. He is here to take my lady home, and he was specially transferred to the guard team by the master to protect her personally."

"So he changed from a secret guard to a visible guard." Ye Ziyu curled her lips, 'It seems that my father is still very worried about my safety, isn't it what I thought? But if there were so many powerful people around, how could he be kidnapped at that time? I can't figure it out, forget it, let it be.'

"Who?"
