Chapter 170: Heartache
"But the last thing I expected was that I couldn't control falling in love with you, I actually fell in love with my mother-killing enemy, don't you say it's ridiculous?"
Bai Shuqin endured the physical discomfort, got out of bed by the edge of the bed, tidied up his messy clothes, and walked slowly to the door, his eyes empty and desperate, like a puppet that had lost his soul.
The horse stared at Bai Shuqin's faint figure, squatted on the ground with his head in his hands, and muttered, "Qian, have you ever loved me for a moment?" Instead of remembering the little boy who came out for you? If I were on the same starting line as him, would you fall in love with me?"
The "creak" answered him with the sound of the door closing.
The answer in her heart appeared in front of her, Wen Luo did not leave a trace of feelings, and her love was ruined by this pillow man.
And the man in the prison was not sent to despair by her own hands?
Bai Shuqin couldn't wake up from the nightmare for a long time, and walked along the corridor casually in a daze, entered the courtyard, walked into a dark hut, locked the door from the inside, and the rags on his sleeves fell in front of the room.
The old things were bloodily spread out in front of her, and they hit her head-on, leaving her powerless to fight back.
Now she just wants to stay away from the colt, the man who suffocates her with fear and suffocation.
Although Zhuo Jinxuan has gone with the flow, he does not intend to let Yun Qing, Ji Yueli and others go.
Ji Yueli took his lovers Luo Yanyan, Ying Xianzi and Yun Qing to his cousin's house overnight to investigate Zhuo Jinxuan's case to see if there was any room for manoeuvre.
After all, my cousin is an official in the capital, and he also participated in the trial of this case, but until now he still doesn't know anything, and the court seems to take it very seriously and hide it deeply.
Facing his cousin's aggressive questioning, my cousin spread his hands and said, "Yueli, I also grew up watching Jinxuan, and I am also worried about his affairs, but I have no news about this case at all, even if I want to help, I have a strong heart and there is not enough left." ”
My cousin was tossed by Ji Yueli and almost swore by a gambling curse, Luo Yanyan really couldn't look past it, pulled Ji Yueli's sleeve, and said gently, "You don't believe what my cousin said, anyway, I believe it, Yueli, let's stop persecuting my cousin, go back and think of other ways." ”
The next day, it was too late.
In order to avoid long nights and dreams, things changed, and took the lead in exposing Zhuo Jinxuan's crimes to the world, and sent officers and soldiers to escort Zhuo Jinxuan to march in Suoyue City, the purpose of which was to convict Zhuo Jinxuan of his crime as soon as possible.
As soon as the light of the morning sun sprinkled this peaceful city, the officers and soldiers broke this beauty, and posted announcements on all city walls that Zhuo Jinxuan brutally killed scholars and singers who entered Beijing to take the examination, and burned down the mansions of officials, and it was revealed that Zhuo Jinxuan cheated in the imperial examination.
This news shocked the entire Locking Moon City, and the city was full of storms in an instant.
The people of Suoyue City had all grown up watching Zhuo Jinxuan, and no one dared to believe that a proud and talented man could do such a cruel thing.
As soon as the Yan family's parents heard about it, they immediately rushed over from home, and people made way for the two of them, looking at the various crimes accusing Zhuo Jinxuan on the notice, they were almost fainting in fright, but fortunately, Xiaocui was clever and helped the master and wife back to the mansion with the family.
Taohong and the sisters of Zuihuanlou stood at the gate and listened to passers-by talk about the "earth-shattering" crime committed by Zhuo Jinxuan, and they were all worried.
How can the four words murder like hemp be linked to Zhuo Jinxuan, but how did the imperial court come all the way to a remote town to wronged an unknown scholar.
Thinking of Zhuo Jinxuan's changes, everyone was silent in an instant, acquiescing to Zhuo Jinxuan's murder!
Yun Qing and the others only learned about this when Zhuo Jinxuan was marching, and the four of them hid in the crowd and looked anxiously at Zhuo Jinxuan, who was surrounded by officers and soldiers.
Zhuo Jinxuan was wearing a death row uniform, handcuffs and anklets, and walked forward with his head down, silently thinking in his heart: I must not be seen by my father and mother like this. The officers and soldiers behind him disliked Zhuo Jinxuan walking too slowly, and pushed him behind, Zhuo Jinxuan staggered forward, and had no choice but to speed up his pace, and the anklet wore out the bare skin of his feet and oozing blood.
"Scream, scream," the officer and soldier walking behind Zhuo Jinxuan's left shook the whip in his hand and reprimanded.
The officers and soldiers all knew that Zhuo Jinxuan was a person, and they couldn't bear to treat him so cruelly, but when they thought of the horse, in order to protect themselves, they had to be sorry for this high-ranking son.
Zhuo Jinxuan gritted his teeth, his confession did not mean that he accepted this humiliation.
Bai Shuqin, you are really ruthless!
"Young Master Yan, if you insist on not barking, the colt is likely to deal with your parents." An officer and soldier pushed away the person who stretched out his hand to push Zhuo Jinxuan, walked to Zhuo Jinxuan's side, and reminded in a low voice.
"I am" Zhuo Jinxuan clenched his fists, and roared over and over again in front of everyone, "I am a sinner, I am a murderer, and my crime is unforgivable...... "I have been ruined, and I must no longer involve my parents, Zhuo Jinxuan swallowed all the pain.
Ji Yueli frowned, staring at the emaciated Zhuo Jinxuan, even if he confessed his crime in front of everyone today, he believed that his good brother would not do such a cruel thing.
Yun Qing leaned against a brown-red pillar, a sense of powerlessness surged inexplicably in his heart, his eyes were sour and astringent, his beloved was suffering and persecuted, but he couldn't do anything, he wanted to rush up immediately and take Zhuo Jinxuan away, fly away, and escape from the chaos.
Suddenly, Yun Qing understood why Yue Lao repeatedly warned himself that he must never use spells, and he must have expected everything that was happening now.
"Save it or not, Jin Xuan will die, this is his fate." Yue Lao's words echoed in Yun Qing's ears, and he looked at the man with his head hanging in the crowd in a daze, "Zhuo Jinxuan, how much do you love that woman that will make you willing to give up your dignity and even everything?"
Hate to the bone, it's as simple as that.
Luo Yanyan grew up with Zhuo Jinxuan since he was a child, and he knows Zhuo Jinxuan's character deeply, how can he believe those trumped-up charges, even if Zhuo Jinxuan admits the crimes with his conscience, Luo Yanyan must have a bitterness behind it. The only thing to complain about is that he didn't have an early insight into Zhuo Jinxuan's words and deeds, and leaving Zhuo Jinxuan is also to see him happy, so that he can let go and be with Ji Yueli's real happiness.
Fairy Ying looked at the man paraded in the center of the street, and then turned her head to look at the lost Yun Qing beside her, and couldn't help but be a little worried, with her contact with Zhuo Jinxuan during this time in the world, she would never believe these nonsense things, the only thing she was worried about was whether there would be a future between Yunqing and Zhuo Jinxuan?
In Fairy Ying's impression, Zhuo Jinxuan is a man with an arrogant heart, but he did not hesitate to lose his reputation for a woman, and took on a felony that was not committed by him, which shows that the woman's status in Zhuo Jinxuan's heart is high, and can Yun Qing shake that woman's status?
Mu Qianfeng looked down on the second floor of the inn, his eyes were cold and bottomless, listening to the surrounding spectators talking about Zhuo Jinxuan's heinous behavior, a feminine face, cold as ice.
"Bai Shuqin, if you have to go against me, then don't blame me for being unkind to you!" Mu Qianfeng snorted coldly, and already had a plan in his heart.
The officers and soldiers dragged Zhuo Jinxuan through the Locking Moon City, and then dragged people back to the prison.
The people of Suoyue City have different opinions, and their opinions are different, some people think that Zhuo Jinxuan helps people to bear the blame, and Zhuo Jinxuan's talent is obvious to all, and this can be used to clear Zhuo Jinxuan. Some people also believe that Zhuo Jinxuan is the murderer, otherwise how could his temperament change drastically.
In short, Lock-Moon City is already "crazy", and both eyes are staring at Zhuo Jinxuan. After learning about Zhuo Jinxuan's various deeds, the parents went out without face, at first they relied on a piece of paper, they categorically did not believe it, but Zhuo Jinxuan had already admitted it in front of everyone, and they believed it.
With Zhuo Jinxuan's temperament, as long as he didn't do it, even if he killed him, he wouldn't admit that he did it, but now that he admitted, the second elder of the Yan family had already decided that Zhuo Jinxuan was a murderer, and he was cold and angry, and he couldn't see anyone in Suoyue City at all. No matter how relieved Xiaocui was on the side, it was useless.
Princess Wenluo inadvertently strayed into the firewood room in desperation, but the rags that fell at the door allowed the maid to find her.
As soon as she heard that Zhuo Jinxuan was parading the streets, Princess Wenluo was so excited that she immediately rushed to the gate, she wanted to stop this disguised humiliation and condemnation.
The thought of Zhuo Jinxuan's death, Wen Luo's heart ached, because of his stupidity, but let his lover pay a heavy price.
The maid grabbed Princess Wenluo in time, "Princess, Gongzi Yan has been sent back to the dungeon, the matter is a foregone conclusion, and it won't help if you go." There's just one thing, and the slave wants to report it back to you. ”
"What?" Princess Wenluo had a pale face and no noble temperament.
The maid hesitated, but finally mustered up the courage to say it, "The concubine once asked the slave to pass a message to Yan Gongzi in your tone, and asked Yan Gongzi to sign and draw a pledge, and Yan Gongzi confessed his guilt on it, but there was an expectation, that is, I hope you can see him again." After speaking, she lowered her head and looked at her toes, not daring to look at Princess Wenluo, she was afraid that Princess Wenluo would kill her in anger.
Who in this world is not afraid of death, so is Zhuo Jinxuan afraid?
Princess Wenluo didn't hear anything, only heard the maid say that Zhuo Jinxuan still wanted to see her again. What is there about a woman like her who is extremely stupid and worthy of Zhuo Jinxuan's affection and unrepentance?
Demented back to the room, Princess Wenluo ordered the maid to bathe and change her clothes, she wanted to see Zhuo Jinxuan in the most beautiful posture, what could she say when she saw it, she was powerless to think.
After Yun Qing, Fairy Ying, Ji Yueli and Luo Yanyan went back, after getting together to discuss, they decided to let Yun Qing and Fairy Ying go to the dungeon to explore Zhuo Jinxuan's mouth first, and then make a decision when they came back.
Yue Lao just said that they couldn't use spells to change other people's lives, and they didn't say that they couldn't use spells to probe the prison and catch the loopholes, Yun Qing and Fairy Ying decided to take the risk and go to the dungeon to find out.
Although the master of ceremonies sensed that Fairy Ying and Yun Qing were using spells to meet a mortal, when he used his divine power to spy on the hidden identity of this ordinary man, he was shocked and left quietly.
No wonder the old man was so sure, he had expected it a long time ago. Hmph, the master of ceremonies stomped his feet angrily, and decided to make trouble for Yue Lao, and let this old guy calculate himself. In fact, it can't be said that Yue Lao calculates him, Yue Lao has already explained, but he himself thinks that Yue Lao is excusing Fairy Ying and Yun Qing and pheating himself!
Yun Qing and Fairy Ying used the technique of stealth to shuttle through the dungeon, and after looking for a long time, they couldn't help but find the place where Zhuo Jinxuan was, and they couldn't help but be a little anxious, just when they were about to use the illusion technique, a woman with the appearance of a sinking fish and a goose and a shy flower in the closed moon walked in the dungeon, turned a corridor, and walked towards another small, dark and damp house.
Yun Qing and Fairy Ying were curious, how could such a beautiful woman come to such a dirty place, could it be that she had something to do with Zhuo Jinxuan? The two looked at each other at the same time and immediately followed.
Princess Wenluo deliberately wore the pink shirt embroidered with small flower bones she used to wear to see Zhuo Jinxuan, this dress is Zhuo Jinxuan's favorite clothes, she wants Zhuo Jinxuan to see the most beautiful her.
Yun Qing and Fairy Ying followed behind her.
