"He's fainted, and he's ...... Tie him up!"

"It's going to take a lot of effort to catch this kid!"

"Alas, poor Second Brother Li, died like this!"

"Don't stop me, I'm going to kill this kid to avenge Li Er!"

"Lin Qi, don't be impulsive! The prisoner must be brought back and handed over to the adults!"

"But the second brother Li ......"

"Don't worry, your lord will handle it fairly!"

The soldiers talked a lot, putting the unconscious Ji Ao in chains and handcuffs, and the onlookers were in an uproar, pointing and pointing, but no one showed a trace of surprise at the monster corpse that the soldier turned into on the ground......

Jin Hotaru sat on a large rock by the river, quietly watching Lu Qing comb her hair in the reflection of the river. Her reflection on the water is so beautiful and moving, even the fish swimming in the river are competing to touch her shadow.

There is a grass beside the big rock where Jin Ying sits, and there are a few delicate wildflowers blooming in the middle, if you pick the most beautiful one and wear it on her head, it will definitely add a lot of charm to her, right?

Jin Ying thought about it in her heart I don't know how many times, but I didn't know why, I just didn't have the courage to put it into action.

Lu Qing watched him staring at the river in a daze without saying a word, deliberately gently touching the water with her hand, and the river splashed on his face with a mercury bullet.

Jin Hotaru blinked suddenly, lowered her head in embarrassment, and smiled shyly.

"Let's hurry, we still have a few days to go to the imperial capital. I should have hired a carriage, you are so delicate, and yet you have to walk so far. He said apologetically.

Lu Qing said with a little reproach: "Where am I delicate? Don't underestimate me!"

"Oh, yes, no...... I'm not saying you're squeamish......" Kanehoru explained busily.

Lu Qing secretly pursed her lips and smiled.

He is always so honest, sometimes he can't even hear other people's jokes, but this man is really a good person who can be relied on for life.

"The capital must be a prosperous place, right? If you take me back like this, can your father and mother accept me as a country woman?" Lu Qing asked worriedly.

"How could it be! The women in the capital are far inferior to you. Jin Hotaru shouted anxiously.

Lu Qingyan smiled and asked, "Where is your home in the capital?"

"No. 95 Dongning Road......"

Lu Qing was taken aback and her eyes widened: "What?"

Jin Ying patted her head vigorously, what is "No. 95 Dongning Road"? Why do so many words pop up in your mind when you think of your home? It should be in Zou Mansion in Yushu Lane in the capital.

He is a businessman, went to the south to do business and met Lu Qing of the official eunuch's family, because Lu Qing's father was murdered by adulterers, her house was raided, she was sold to the Qinglou, but she did not sell her body, he fell in love with her at first sight, and used up all the money on his body to redeem her.

Now he's going to take her home to meet his parents. Although Lu Qing has a bad fate, she is a woman who is both talented and beautiful, knowledgeable and polite, and has a docile personality, and her parents will definitely like her to agree to them being together!

But...... His parents should be middle-aged people in their forties, why did he think of his father, but what came to mind was an old man with white hair, his grandfather?

"Ei, let's go?"

"Okay!" Jin Ying hurriedly agreed, the way to the capital would take a few days, but he couldn't wait to grow wings and fly home immediately, wanting his parents to see Lu Qing soon, yes, it should be like this, so that what he should do is done......

"Be bold and don't kneel down!"

There was a cold shout from the lobby, a startled "pop" slammed on the table, and a servant kicked Ji Ao's leg in the crook of his leg, and he fell to his knees with a "plop".

Ji Ao secretly glanced at an official with a gloomy face sitting in the lobby, and then glanced at the officials with expressionless faces and holding water and fire sticks on both sides. He knew he had committed a crime before he went to prison. Today he was brought to the lobby for trial.

What crime did he commit and he was caught? He couldn't remember.

"Who is kneeling in the hall?" the official asked mightily and sternly.

"The villain Ji Ao. ”

"Who's the Guy?"

"A native of Liujiazhuang, Chang'an County. ”

"What crime have you committed?"

“…… Villain no, I don't know ......"

"Bold!" the official picked up the "shocking wood" and slapped it hard, shouting.

"Mighty!" The officials standing in the two rows immediately shouted in unison.

"I ......," Ji Ao recalled desperately.

He remembered that he was a prodigal gangster, idle all day long, he had no money in his pocket that day, he returned home and had a big fight with his parents, stole the family's money and ran to the capital, but why was he imprisoned?

"I ...... I smashed a tavern. Images popped up in my mind......

"What else?"

"I ...... Resisting arrest ......"

"What else?"

Ji Ao frowned and meditated: "Injured the official?"

The officer snorted coldly and said, "Hmph! You didn't just wound an officer! You killed an officer and soldier while resisting arrest!"

"Ahh

He squinted his eyes and tried to remember, as if he had actually killed someone, but it didn't, as if something was blocking his train of thought.

"Isn't it just eating people, what's the big deal?" Ji Ao was taken aback, how could such a thought flash in his mind, "cannibalism"? How could he think of eating people!

The official sitting in the lobby glared angrily and announced his verdict in a loud voice: "Diao Min Ji is arrogant, smashes the shop and hurts people, resists arrest, and kills officers and soldiers, it is really a heinous crime, and the crime is extremely heinous, and it is not enough to anger the people if you don't kill him! This official sentences you to a hundred big boards, and you will be beheaded after the autumn!"

"Ask?" Ji Ao immediately stood up, but was punched and kicked by several officials, knocked him to the ground, held him down with all hands and feet, lifted the board and slammed it at him...... Sticks rained down on him.

The sharp pain irritated Ji Ao's nerves, but it also made him even more confused. He remembered who he was, why he was here, why he was punished like this, but somehow, he felt that he was not that person and should not bear all this.

"What's going on, why was I being beaten by a 'human?'" he muttered involuntarily.

"Human"? This is the second time he has inexplicably remembered the word, what's going on?

"This kid's bones are so hard! he didn't even snort after a hundred boards!" said a clerk who wiped his sweat breathlessly after the fight.

A servant next to him shook his head and sighed: "After being a bad boy for such a long time, it is the first time I have seen such a stubborn prisoner, and it is not surprising that such a big disaster has occurred." ”

The two officials were discussing and throwing Ji Ao, who was about to lose consciousness, into the cell. When Ji Ao's body touched the ground, he felt a sharp pain in his skin, but he gritted his teeth and held on. It wasn't until the footsteps of the servants faded away that he lay on his side.

"Autumn Queen asked?" This doesn't seem to be a big deal, it doesn't matter when the thing "death" comes, this thought flashed through Ji Ao's mind, and he seems to have had this idea for a long time.

Ji Ao doesn't know why he has such a calm and calm, his life should only be more than 20 years, why does he have a feeling in his heart that he has gone through vicissitudes and lived enough?

"Whatever! There's no need to think about it so much, isn't it just a death anyway...... It's not that he has never died...... "No! This kind of experience is only one step away from death more than once, he has faced death many times, seen death, and deliberately created death...... Since when?

Ji Ao leaned against the gray earthen wall, huddled in a straw-covered cell, and finally fell asleep due to fatigue and pain, and a few rays of slanting sunset sun shone on him through the narrow window......
