Chapter Ninety-Six: Knowing It's Wrong
"Miss Shen, please help me, I really know it's wrong, I just hope you can give me a chance, let me atone for my sins, whatever I want to do, I'm willing to do it when I am a cow and a horse, as long as I can live, I really don't want to die, I beg you."
He kept repeating in his mouth, not wanting to die over and over again, no matter what kind of thing he did, as long as he didn't die, he would be willing to accept it.
For his attitude is very clear in the connection, he didn't realize his real mistake at all, just because he was greedy for life and afraid of death, so he kowtowed and begged for mercy, and he didn't care about any face at all.
It's just that it's the same for such a person to continue to stay in this world, and it's better to let him die directly.
Shen Lian walked over directly, came to his side, and shook his head at him helplessly.
"It's a pity, it's too late for you to know your mistake now, there is no turning back in this world, if there is a next life, I hope you can be a good person, don't repeat the mistakes of the past and continue, so you can accept such a reality if you hurt people, there is no way to change it at all, you have to pay for a life if you kill someone's father-in-law, this is an eternal truth."
This sentence also completely made the boatman desperate in his heart, because he knew very well that if Shen Lian didn't help him intercede, then he really had no way to change his current situation.
Thinking that he was going to be beheaded tomorrow, he couldn't accept it, and secretly made a ruthless decision in his heart, it was better for him to have a chance to live, as long as he escaped to a place where no one was around, then it would be fine.
After having such a thought in his heart, he slowly stood up, quickly took out the dagger hidden in his clothes, and then pulled Shen Lian who was standing in front of him, and then put the dagger against her neck.
After seeing this scene, everyone present widened their eyes, never expecting that this boatman would be so bold and dare to do such a thing in the county office.
Chu Xi scolded him angrily and said, "It's already at this time, it's impossible for you to escape, let it go quickly, otherwise you know that you are not only involved in yourself, but also your family, and they will all be finished at that time." ”
After hearing this, the boatman sneered, not caring at all, but felt that he was a little stupid to say this.
"So what? As long as I can live, it has nothing to do with me whether other people are dead or alive. ”
These words shocked the people present, who never thought that he would be such a selfish person who would not care about the lives of his family in order to survive.
This also exposed all the lies he had just made, which turned out to be pretended, and it was not his sincere remorse at all.
Now that Shen Lian was under his control, the boatman was very happy in his heart, and felt that he had the bargaining chips to win, and he should be able to leave here soon, and he didn't have to die.
Glaring at Shen Lian, who was in control, the boatman said with a smile.
"Didn't you pretend to be very kind just now, and carefully told me so many truths, I didn't expect you to fall into my hands now, if you say something nice now, let them let me go, I may let you go, it won't hurt your life, otherwise, I'm going to let you die here."
"Really?" Shen Lian said coldly, very calm, and did not have any fear, but felt very contempt for people like him, really sanctimonious, selfish and hypocritical.
"Even if I die here, I don't have the slightest fear, I still want to say that you deserve to die, we won't let you go, you don't want to escape here."
I didn't expect her to be so bold in the face of such a scene, and she didn't have the slightest fear at all, which made the boatman's heart a little bottomless, but fortunately, others seemed to be a little worried about Shen Pian, so they could also use this to blackmail her.
He turned his head directly to Chu Xi who was sitting on it and said.
"Hurry up and prepare me a horse, and give me another thousand taels of silver, and when I am ready, I will leave here, and then I will release her, or you will have to collect her body."
According to his words, Chu Xi directly ordered people to do this, but it was just a show, and it was impossible to let the boatman leave like this.
In the process of waiting, the boatman has been on high vigilance, holding the dagger in his hand tightly, for fear that someone will come forward, and at the same time constantly warning them that if they dare to come forward, Shen Lian will definitely be killed directly, and then the fish will die and the net will be broken.
However, Yin Chen realized that this boatman could not be such a decisive person at all, because he did not have the courage to die at all.
A person who can give up anything and any family and friends in order to be able to live, for such a person, how can he die and break the net, he will definitely desperately want to live.
Yin Chen said to him, "Of course it's okay if you want to live, but don't think about her, otherwise you won't be able to escape at all." ”
Soon, someone brought a plate of dim sum, which Yin Chen had ordered Xiao Shi to buy just now, and it had already been filled with special seasonings.
"It's been so long, I'm afraid you haven't eaten any snacks, let's eat something first."
The boatman was so alert that he could not eat anything they had sent him, for fear of poison in it.
Seeing this, Yin Chen said, "If you want to worry about what we put in it, you can let Shen Lian help you taste it first, and then you can continue to eat after making sure that there are no problems inside?" After hearing this, the boatman hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded, because the snack still looked very precious, he had never been exposed to such a delicate model since he was a child, and he was a little excited at first, plus he hadn't eaten anything all day today, so he was still a little hungry.
You nodded in agreement, but you still refused to send them over, and instead let them put it at your feet.
Although the boatman was not smart enough, he was still more vigilant, and did not dare to eat the food they sent him so openly, and still asked all of them to withdraw and stand at the gate of the yamen.
According to his request, everyone retreated, leaving only him and Shen Lian inside.
In this way, he dared to coerce Shen Li, slowly squatted down, and picked up the plate of dim sum, but before eating it himself, he still let Shen Lian taste it first, in case there was any poison in it.
However, Shen Lian is very smart, she knows that since Yin Chen can take the initiative to let herself taste it, it proves that there is no big problem with this dim sum, but there must be Yin Chen's purpose, otherwise she would definitely not do it all of a sudden.
According to the request, he picked up a piece of dim sum, began to chew and taste it slowly, and after eating a whole piece, the boatman standing next to him was sure that there should be no big problem before picking it up and preparing to eat.
And at this time, Shen Lian felt that his head was a little dizzy, and he immediately understood what had been added to this click.
It's just that there is no way, she can only endure as much as possible, and she can't be recognized by the boatman, so the boatman also eats two or three snacks in a row.
Because of the rapid eating, the boatman did not notice anything unusual at first, but after a short while, he noticed that his head was a little dizzy, and by this time he had roughly guessed what had been added to the snack.
When he was about to have an angry attack, he suddenly felt that his whole body was abnormally weak, and he seemed to have no strength and collapsed directly to the ground.
And Yin Chen and the others, who had been outside at this moment, hurriedly rushed in, and the Jiangnan boatman subdued him, and at the same time helped Shen Lian up, helped him to the chair next to him and sat down, and poured hot tea.
Yin Chen said to Shen Lian, "It's just a simple medicine, it doesn't matter, you have to rest first, and you will recover after a while." ”
