Chapter 12: It is better for one person to die than to die for two

Zhu Ming and Bai Peony walked straight out of the hall.

When he walked out of the door, Zhu Ming glanced back curiously.

"Reishuin?"

It's a familiar name.

Zhu Ming suddenly asked curiously, "Does Miss Peony know the surname Wei?" ”

White Peony paused and did not speak.

made Zhu Ming a little self-deprecating.

Although Zhu Ming's monk's robe will not be a big problem, it is still a little eye-catching.

White Peony directly called two sedan chairs and went directly out of Yangzhou City.

Bai Peony didn't say directly to Weijiazhuang, but carried it to a nearby intersection.

The sedan driver was sent back.

Usually Bai Peony does this, for fear that others will associate him with Weijiazhuang.

The road was not far away, and the two walked over slowly.

Zhu Ming was quite embarrassed all the way.

I wanted to find something to say, but I really didn't know what to say.

Before, he felt that the relationship with the white peony had become a lot closer.

But now the white peony seems to have returned to its previous appearance, and is even more distant from him than before.

The two walked to Weijiazhuang in silence.

The fire had long since been extinguished, but there was still a little smoke rising.

Bai Peony looked at the broken bricks and tiles in front of him, and felt a little sad inexplicably.

Something important in my heart was gone all at once.

It seemed that she was the only one left in the world all of a sudden.

Zhu Ming was also a little worried.

I was worried about it before, and I didn't know how to check it.

So Zhu Ming whispered a few times in his heart, but the system did not respond.

I don't know if it's broken, or I don't bother to answer such a question.

"Who?"

Wang Bantou was walking around with a few servants, and he happened to see Zhu Ming and Bai Peony.

Wang Bantou reported the news in the morning, and he didn't have a chance to inquire about the results.

As a result, I didn't expect Weijiazhuang to catch fire in the afternoon.

Wang Bantou didn't know if it was his own people who set the fire, and he really couldn't understand why he did it.

But that's fine, no matter who it is, it won't break through again.

Wang Bantou originally thought that a few of them were just coming over and pretending.

As a result, I didn't expect to actually run into people.

Wang Bantou's heart suddenly chuckled.

These two people happen to be a man and a woman, and they don't look big in grade, and the man also has short hair, so it is estimated that nine times out of ten they are the people who talked about it before.

Wang Bantou's head suddenly became big.

Although this man is now wearing monk's robes, who monks will take women with them when they travel.

And it doesn't mean that you are a monk when you wear monk's robes, but that a monk must have an official degree.

What Wang Bantou was worried about, several other officials also thought of it.

Several people swarmed up and surrounded Zhu Ming and Bai Peony in the middle.

Bai Peony didn't expect that there would be an official errand here, and suddenly secretly complained in his heart.

It's going to be troublesome now, and White Peony is about to take out some money.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Ming suddenly bullied himself and directly bumped into the arms of a servant.

The official was taken aback and hurriedly wanted to retreat.

Zhu Ming suddenly stretched out his hand and pulled out the waist knife of the servant.

Several officials didn't expect Zhu Ming to be so fierce, although they were officials, in fact, they just changed their clothes.

If it's really desperate, I guess I don't have the guts.

Several officials hurriedly retreated in fright.

Zhu Ming reflexively grabbed the white peony and put the waist knife on the white peony's neck.

Bai Peony was stupefied by Zhu Ming's actions.

Why did Zhu Ming suddenly grab the knife, and the knife was still on his neck.

Do you want to take yourself hostage?

Bai Peony's heart was gloomy for a while.

She is just a woman in the Qinglou, where will those officials take care of their lives.

"Peony girl, I will say that I have been coercing you later."

Zhu Ming suddenly whispered.

This made Bai Peony stunned, and Zhu Ming suddenly held himself hostage to help him break the siege?

White Peony couldn't believe it for a moment.

"But..."

Bai Peony wanted to say something, but was directly interrupted by Zhu Ming.

"It's better for one person to die than two people, and besides, my fake monk can be unchecked."

Zhu Ming thought very clearly.

Pretending to be a monk, you may be able to get away with it.

But if you really want to encounter a strict inspection by the official, it must be completely exposed.

In this case, why bother implicating white peony.

The white peony suddenly burst into tears.

She really didn't expect Zhu Ming to put himself in her shoes like this.

Usually no one even cares about her feelings, let alone fight all the guilt in such a critical moment.

"It's better to live well than anything else."

Zhu Ming sighed.

The nearby officials rushed over when they heard the news.

All of a sudden, there were at least twenty or thirty officials around Zhu Ming.

"I said, what are you holding your daughter hostage?"

Wang Bantou seemed to see something and asked.

"What kind of lady, don't you know? It's the prostitute of Reichun-in. ”

Hearing Zhu Ming's words, some officials recognized the white peony.

"It seems that it is indeed a peony girl."

"How could the peony girl fall into the hands of this thief."

Those officials immediately chatted and talked about it.

Zhu Ming suddenly relieved her heart, as long as those people confirmed the identity of Bai Peony, the possibility that she could clear up this matter would be very great.

Although Bai Peony knew that Zhu Ming was excusing himself by saying this.

But I still can't help but feel a little lost in my heart.

This is the first time that Bai Peony hates her identity as a Qinglou woman.

A young official sneered: "This thief is a fool, take a woman from a green house to threaten us." ”

At this time, don't say it's a Qinglou woman, even if these servants are arrested, they won't let the thieves leave.

Zhu Ming's purpose was achieved.

No matter what his ending is, after all, White Peony was involved by himself and is innocent.

Zhu Ming pushed the white peony away and rushed towards the gang of officials with a knife.

It's stupid, but it's definitely not going to be done.

I don't know if these officials will kill themselves directly, even if they don't kill them, but if they can't complete the task, the system will definitely wipe them out.

It's a dead end anyway.

I don't know if the system will show mercy.

Zhu Ming smiled bitterly in his heart, knowing that he was thinking a little too much.

Wang Bantou suddenly took a step forward, avoided Zhu Ming, and stretched out his foot.

Zhu Ming flew out directly, and the knife in his hand also came out.

Brushed the ear of a servant and flew over.

The servant's frightened legs weakened and sat directly on the ground.

And Zhu Ming also fell to the ground hard, and he couldn't get up for half a day.

Several other officials immediately rushed over and pressed Zhu Ming under him.

There are officials who walk towards the white peony and want to bring the white peony back.

Wang Bantou's eyes widened.

"Don't you know Peony Girl?"

The official was a little ridiculous, the white peony was just coerced, since he caught the main master, the white peony was dispensable.

Wang Bantou glanced at Zhu Ming.

I sighed in my heart, and I didn't know who this was.

Could it be your own people, these things are really troublesome.

Unless Wang Bantou kills all these servants now, but even if they are all killed, they can't be explained when they go back.

can only die here.

The point is that it is not clear whether this person is his own or not.

In the morning, I had already reported the news, and it stands to reason that if I was my own person, I would definitely not have rushed here.
