20. Chapter XIX

Jiang Ling woke up the next morning, and when he opened his eyes, he saw a bunch of faces. Fortunately, it was all familiar faces, which made her breathe a sigh of relief.

"Ling'er, how are you?" Jiang Yu exaggeratedly stepped forward and hugged her shoulders and asked, and then Jiang Hongwen unceremoniously lifted her away from the back collar.

At this time, Jiang Ling's mind was still a little chaotic, thinking that she was just waking up, but soon some fragments appeared, and her ignorant little face wrinkled, she pouted, and looked at Mrs. Jiang: "Mother, what happened?" ”

"You and the Third Prince met human traffickers yesterday and were almost sold to Jinling."

Jiang Ling's dark eyes widened in disbelief and asked, "What the hell is going on?" I only remember that His Highness helped an old woman who had fallen to take her home, and when she arrived at the place, she realized that she was a bad person with uneasy intentions. I don't remember what happened to me. ”

"That's because you're drugged."

Jiang Ling asked anxiously: "What about Brother Chengzhi?" ”

Although she knew that Zhou Chengzhi at this time could not have anything to do, she still couldn't help but worry.

"He's fine, rest in Jing Yayuan." Mrs. Jiang said, "Thanks to him sending a signal to notify Chasing Yun, you two were saved, you haven't eaten for so long, eat first." ”

Although Jiang Ling was used to being watched by a large family, after all, she was in good health, so she drove her two elder brothers away, and drank soup and porridge under the personal care of her father.

After eating, her body recovered as before, she really couldn't let go of her heart, sent her father and mother away, and took Caihe to Jingyayuan.

Today, Jingyayuan is rarely lively, there are several royal guards standing in the courtyard who are accompanying the south, and there are two bound men kneeling in the middle, and Zhou Chengzhi is sitting in front of it, and his guards are chasing clouds next to him.

Although he is small, he sits there and has a bit of momentum.

The two people on the ground, since they learned that it was the prince who kidnapped him, are now so frightened that they can't kneel steadily, almost paralyzed on the ground, snot and tears flowed all over the ground, and they shouted for mercy.

But they themselves actually know that they have committed a mortal crime, and there is a saying of sparing lives.

Zhou Chengzhi had probably interrogated the two of them, his expression was cold, and he looked very impatient.

When Jiang Ling came in, he was waving his hand and said, "Feed these two people to the dogs." ”

His tone was flat, as if he were talking about the most ordinary and trivial matter. After all, killing two wicked people should not affect his path as a good person.

Jiang Ling was startled, and hurriedly ran forward and said, "Brother Chengzhi, don't!" ”

Of course, Jiang Ling also hopes that these evil traffickers will be cut with a thousand knives, but she is now on the great mission of Pudu Zhou Chengzhi. Now Zhou Chengzhi is a clean and sunny good boy, but there are bloody things, there are one, there are two, there are two, there are three, once the precedent is opened, the compassion and kindness in his heart will be diluted because of killing, so it is a vicious circle, and in the end, he may become the demon who cares about people's lives in his previous life.

Zhou Chengzhi frowned and said, "Ling'er, these traffickers deserve death, if you are afraid of being scared, I will let Chaiyun take it to the outside of Jiangfu to deal with it." ”

Jiang Ling thought for a while and said, "Although these people deserve death for their crimes, it is somewhat inappropriate to use lynching. Brother Chengzhi, I think you should hand them over to the government. ”

Chasing Yun is a big internal guard, and he is not the executioner who beheaded him at the noon gate, he actually refuses to let his master lynch and kill people, Ling Chi does not say, and he has to feed the dogs, this kind of frustrating method, he actually refuses in his heart. But the master had an order, and he had to do it. Seeing that Miss Jiang, who was valued by the master, came forward to stop her, her heart blossomed, and her eyes were wide open, waiting for the master's response.

His scorching gaze made Zhou Chengzhi find out, and glanced at him coldly. looked at Jiang Ling softly: "With the crimes they committed, it is also a capital crime to hand them over to the government, so why bother." ”

Jiang Ling racked his brains and thought about it, and said, "It's not like they've done these things once or twice, isn't that old woman from one of them?" There must be many other comrades, wouldn't it be better to hand it over to the government and let them investigate together? ”

Zhou Chengzhi nodded: "When we were kidnapped to the carriage, I heard them say that there were still many abducted and trafficked children in Jiangling. The government doesn't know when it will be clear, they have just said what they should say, and I will let Chaiyun do it. ”

Chasing Yun slandered in his heart: I'm just a bodyguard, can you not leave such a brain-consuming matter as investigating the case to me, Your Highness!

Jiang Ling seemed to hear his heart, and knew to Zhou Cheng: "The government has a special official who investigates cases, and his kung fu may not be as high as that of Brother Yun, but he will definitely have more experience in investigating cases." I think it's better to leave it to the government. ”

Chasing Yun finally mustered up the courage to comply: "Yes, Your Highness, my subordinates think that Miss Ling'er is right. If I don't say how I investigate the case, just say that I want to go out to investigate the case, how can I protect you? I think it's more appropriate to hand over these two lifeless things to the government commission. ”

Zhou Chengzhi glared at him silently, and said to Jiang Ling: "I'll think about it." ”

He really didn't want these two people to live even one more day.

The hard ones can't be soft, Jiang Ling grabbed his hand and shook it, and simply coquettish: "Brother Chengzhi, will you send these two people to the official mansion?" Ling'er didn't want to see Chengzhi's brother kill. ”

Belch! Thinking of her, a woman with a soul over twenty, pulling an eleven-year-old baby to be coquettish, she was almost so disgusted by herself that she vomited out of the overnight meal.

Zhou Chengzhi squinted at her, a little girl, delicate and lovely, with an innocent face. Only then did he realize that although it was not a bad thing to kill two wicked people, in addition to being a good person, the most important thing was to make Jiang Ling like him.

The little girl will even save the injured rabbit, where can you see such a thing as murder.

He suddenly smiled with a realization: "Okay, just hand it over to the government, and I will let Chaiyun supervise this case." ”

Chasing Yun was relieved: "Your Highness, you are extremely right. The matter is big, it is a matter of the prince, and I will supervise it, and the local government will never dare to slack off. Hopefully, before we leave for Beijing, there will be a conclusion to this case. ”

Zhou Chengzhi frowned and snorted: "What is hope?" Yes, the children who were sold to Jinling must be rescued as soon as possible, and all this line will be removed for me, if it is not done well, I will ask you. ”

Chasing Yun hugged his fists and said: "Obey." ”

Zhou Chengzhi glanced coldly at the two people on the ground: "For the time being, leave your two dogs alive for a few more days." ”

The two kowtowed again and again: "Thank you, Your Highness!" ”

In the early summer of this year, the Yangzhou government yamen handled a shocking case. A gang of traffickers was uprooted, and dozens of boys and girls who had been sold to various parts of Suzhou and Hangzhou were rescued, and the traffickers involved in the case were beheaded at the city gate.

Yangzhou's salt industry is developed, the people are rich and comfortable, and the yamen is more comfortable than the people, and it can't handle a decent case for a year and a half, and it is criticized by the people all year round. Now that such a beautiful case has been handled, while people are happy, all kinds of rumors have risen in the streets and alleys. The most widely circulated version is that the Jiang family's daughter insurance was abducted and sold, which coincided with Empress Jiang's return to her hometown and province, and she was very angry about this matter, so she sent the second prince to supervise the case, and the government cracked the case with a spirit of 120%.

In short, this shocking case is all due to the queen and the second prince, and even the excerpt reported by the Yangzhou prefect is also said so.

Jiang Ling didn't understand how Zhou Chengzhi sent Chaiyun to supervise the case, and in the end, the credit fell to his aunt and cousin.

But seeing that Zhou Chengzhi didn't seem to take it to heart, he was relieved.

In the remaining days, Jiang Ling and Zhou Chengzhi's pure friendship grew by leaps and bounds, and when it came to separation, she was a little reluctant to this beautiful and kind young man, and what worried her even more was that if she said goodbye, she didn't know what Zhou Chengzhi would experience in the capital, and whether he would become a brutal guy in the end like in the previous life.

Zhou Chengzhi was naturally reluctant to Jiang Ling, he finally met in advance in this life, and he couldn't wait to pack people up and take them away, so that he could watch her grow up slowly, so as not to cause any more complications. However, when I saw my own brother who was cold to me all day long, I knew that there would still be some branches in the future, and it was impossible to pack and take people away, so I could only endure the next I don't know how long to part.

Two friends with their own thoughts summed up, and decided to keep in touch with each other by letter after they separated. Jiang Ling wanted to continue to observe whether he would show signs of change, and once he found the signs, he could be extinguished as soon as possible. Zhou Chengzhi wants to cultivate feelings, what is the difficulty of having two childhood sweethearts?

Originally, Jiang Ling was still worried about the issue of receiving letters, and he didn't want Zhou Chengzhi to have thought it through. It turned out that the well-known Yunwei Tea House in Yangzhou was an industry under the name of Zhou Chengzhi's uncle, and there would be business contacts with the capital every month, which was just enough for people to carry letters from the two.

So the two decided so happily.
