Chapter 711 - 639, The Great Purge_1
The scene of the house raid was in utter chaos, with screams and cries overlapping each other. Just moments ago, officials of high rank held great power, now they were trampled into the dust by the common people.
For the womenfolk, it was even more unfriendly.
Xiao Yeyang didn’t want to spoil Daohua’s eyes, so he took her away from that place.
On their way, both Daohua and Su Shiyu fell into silence.
Just now, they had witnessed several young ladies from official families with whom they had once chatted and shared tea. As glorious as they once were, they were now equally wretched. This made the two of them feel quite distressed.
Suddenly, the sound of uproar came from the street.
A man dressed in brocade rode his horse, rampaging desperately through the streets, chased by a group of crazed soldiers.
Seeing the crowd scattering in all directions, Xiao Yeyang quickly shielded Daohua in his arms.
As the distance between the man in brocade and the soldiers grew greater, suddenly, ’whoosh’, an arrow flew through the air and struck the man’s back with deadly precision.
The man in brocade too was a tough character; even with an arrow in his back, he clenched his teeth and spurred his horse forward in a wild dash.
