This crisp slap made everyone present sweat for the woman.

She beat the princess of the dynasty...

Mai Jiu didn't react at all, she only felt a hot pain on her face, and she still couldn't believe it when she touched her face.

The woman scolded hysterically: "Confusing slut, I want you to pay for my family's life." After shouting this, the woman raised her hands and walked towards Mai Jiu's neck.

The guards hurriedly stepped forward to grab the woman, and a few more stepped forward to surround Mai Jiu and protect her.

Seeing that the woman was blocked, she hit and kicked the guard in front of her, and scratched the face of one of the guards.

Liu Shaoqing walked around to Mai Jiu from behind the crowd and asked, "Princess, how are you?" ”

Mai Jiu touched his face and shook his head.

Liu Shaoqing was still uneasy and said, "Do you want to go and see Langzhong?" ”

Mai Jiu turned her head to look at Liu Shaoqing, and then looked at the woman who had collapsed, and she said in a solemn tone: "Your focus is not on me. ”

After speaking, Mai Jiu looked at Yan's father and Yan'er who were lying on the ground: "Why don't you send them to the hospital quickly." ”

Liu Shaoqing followed Mai Jiu's line of sight, and he hurriedly beckoned the guards and said, "Hurry up." ”

When the woman saw that Yan'er was lifted up again, she sat directly on the ground and cried: "My Ning'er, Ning'er!" The woman cried and pounded the ground with her hands.

Mai Jiu pulled away the guards who were blocking her and stepped forward and squatted down.

The woman in front of her had just lost her most beloved daughter, and Mai Jiu wanted to comfort her for a few words, but before she could say anything, she was pulled by the hair by the person in front of her.

The woman tugged at Mai Jiu's hair and pulled it down, and Mai Jiu fell forward like this, and her head hit the ground hard.

This series of actions frightened everyone present.

The guard hurriedly stepped forward and wanted to pull the woman away, but the woman's hand grabbed Mai Jiu's hair and didn't let go, and the guard screamed in pain as soon as she pulled the woman.

Several women in the crowd also stepped forward to help Mai Jiu pull back her hair, and one even began to slap the woman's hand to get her to let go.

With the sound of horses' hooves, Sang Huaian tightened the reins and stopped not far away, he trotted towards the crowd, and Shen Qianyue behind him also jumped off the horse and ran together.

Shen Qianyue quickly stepped forward to tear away the crowd and opened a way for Sang Huai'an.

In the center of the crowd, a crazy woman was tugging at Mai Jiu's hair, screaming in pain, and her hands were scratching the air everywhere.

Liu Shaoqing saw the prince, he stepped forward and saluted: "Xiaguan see the prince." ”

Rajah?

When the people around heard these two words, they all knelt down, and they didn't dare to raise their heads, only the woman was still dragging Mai Jiu's hair while baring her teeth and cursing.

Shen Qianyue took out a knife and put it on the woman's shoulder, Liu Shaoqing saw this scene and wanted to step forward to stop it worriedly, but stopped in fear after taking a step.

"Stop."

The cold voice and the sharp sword on her shoulder made the woman realize what was happening, and she slowly let go of the hand that was pulling her hair.

This release Mai Jiu hurriedly stroked his scalp, grinning all the time and wanting to cry but couldn't cry.

Shen Qianyue saw that Mai Jiu's hair was loosened, so she said sternly: "The prince must not be presumptuous here. ”

The woman finally heard the word prince, and she moved her body to turn around, but the sword in Shen Qianyue's hand did not have the slightest intention of moving, but kept pressing against the woman's neck.

The woman didn't dare to move anymore, she lay on the ground and covered her head with her hands and said: "Lord Wang, you want to uphold justice for the people's wife, the little girl has just been killed, and this woman wants to save a murderer, and no one cares about my little girl." ”

Sang Huai'an kept looking at Mai Jiu, who was sitting behind the woman, he wanted to go forward and hug her and comfort her, saying that the king was here, but there were too many people nearby to prevent him from getting closer.

"Saving someone's life is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter." Sang Huai'an said such a sentence slowly.

Liu Shaoqing saw that Mai Jiu was still sitting on the ground, so he stepped forward and helped Mai Jiu up.

This scene made Sang Huaian look at it squarely, and he unconsciously bit his lip and broke his thoughts in his heart.

The woman cried: "It is natural to kill someone to pay for his life, he should pay for his life if he killed my daughter, and she... And she... but also to save the murderer. ”

Liu Shaoqing brought a bench from the back stall and put it behind Mai Jiu, signaling for Mai Jiu to sit down.

Mai Jiu looked at Liu Shaoqing and shook his head with a smile, and then the two whispered a few words, and after saying that, Liu Shaoqing left, I don't know where he went.

This scene was also seen by Sang Huai'an, and his hand behind his back unconsciously clenched.

Seeing that no one answered her, the woman cried a little louder, Sang Huaian retracted his gaze and looked at the woman and said: "Da'an's law will severely punish the murderer, and give you justice, where is the child's body, this king will take a look with you." ”

Shen Qianyue withdrew the sword in her hand, and the woman raised her body and wanted to stand up, but stepped on the hem of her skirt and fell down again.

Embarrassed, she sat paralyzed for a while before she stood up tremblingly and said, "Lord Wang, come with the people's women." ”

The woman walked out of the crowd, and Sang Huai'an followed the woman towards her daughter after taking a look at Mai Jiu.

The crowd also dispersed, and a few of them were still following the prince to see the excitement.

Mai Jiu's soles were soft and sat on the stool behind him, Liu Shaoqing hurriedly ran over, he bent over and attached to Mai Jiu's ear and said, "I couldn't save it, it's already... Let's go. ”

This result was already expected by Mai Jiu, and she just nodded slightly without superfluous expressions and movements.

Yan'er is dead...

Wang Po, who had been standing at the back of the stall, looked at Mai Jiu, who was sitting not far in front, she walked to the table behind her, poured a glass of water, and walked towards Mai Jiu.

A cup appeared in front of Mai Jiu, Mai Jiu turned his head to look at Wang Po, Wang Po directly put the water cup in Mai Jiu's hand and looked at the place where the girl's body was not far away.

Mai Jiu looked at the water in the cup, and she raised her neck and poured the water in the cup into her throat.

"Poor child," said the princess.

Mai Jiu finished drinking the water, she wiped the water stains from the corners of her mouth with her cuffs and looked at the crowd.

"Mrs. Wang... Did you say I did something wrong? ”

Wang Po turned her head to look at Mai Jiu and asked, "What did you do wrong?" ”

Mai Jiu retracted his gaze and looked at the cup in his hand and replied, "I shouldn't have saved Yan'er at all... He killed someone... He should pay for his life. ”

To save it or not to save it, this is why Mai Jiu can't help but think deeply about this question.

Yan'er has a mental disorder, which can be seen at a glance, and the moment when Yan'er stretched out her palm to ask her for help just now is vivid.

"No, you didn't do anything wrong."

This faint sentence reached Mai Jiu's ears, and she quickly turned her head to look at Wang Po, who in turn looked at the crowd.

After waiting for a long time and not waiting for the next sentence, she said weakly: "Wang Po... I..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw Wang Po turn around and walk towards the table behind her, saying, "It's really a mess for my old man." ”

Mai Jiu's gaze followed Wang Po's gaze and unconsciously twisted his body over.

Wang Po straightened the stool and said, "It's your business to save people, and it's his business to kill people." ”

It was already late in the evening, the crowd was slowly dispersing, and there were far fewer pedestrians on the streets.

The girl's body was also sent home, and a funeral was held a few days later.

Liu Shaoqing received an order from the prince and also sent Yan'er's body in the medical hall to Dali Temple, planning to conduct a further autopsy.

Mai Jiu fell asleep on the table, next to an empty bowl that she had eaten cleanly, Wang Po cleaned up the table and chairs and prepared to close the stall but never woke Mai Jiu.

Sang Huai'an walked over, and he saw Mai Jiu lying on the table with his face buried in his arm.

When the princess saw the prince coming, she planned to salute, Sang Huai'an stretched out her hand to signal that there was no need, and the princess looked at Mai Jiu with the prince's gaze, and she said softly: "In the afternoon, I was hungry and anxious, and I ate a bowl of noodles from the old woman and fell asleep on the table." ”

Sang Huai'an took a few steps forward, put one hand around Mai Jiu's waist and the other hand reached into the knee socket, and just hugged Mai Jiu in his arms.

Shen Qianyue sent someone to clean up the blood stains on the ground and hurriedly ran over, and when she saw Mai Jiu sleeping in the prince's arms, she said softly: "Lord, my subordinates will charter a carriage for you." ”

Sang Huai'an nodded.

Mai Jiu never woke up, she slept and breathed evenly and vigorously, Sang Huai'an put her on the bed and carefully helped her take off her shoes, and before going out, he also instructed Zhi to draw: "Take care of your master." ”

As soon as he left the palace, Sang Huai'an went straight to Dali Temple, and he got the news that white powder had been found on Yan'er's finger.

Liu Shaoqing greeted the prince at the gate of Dali Temple early, Sang Huaian parked the horse at the door, he quickly jumped off the horse and asked, "Did you find out what it is?" ”

Liu Shaoqing stepped forward and said in a serious tone: "The old king found out, it is the Soul Devouring Pill." ”

"Soul Eater Pill?" Sang Huai'an asked as he walked towards the temple.

Liu Shaoqing followed closely behind Wang Ye and replied: "It is a kind of elixir refined with corpse insects, there is nothing abnormal in a short period of time, but as the drug spreads, the brain will be uncontrollable and begin to irritable with the effect of the drug. ”

"I heard from the people that Hu Muyan became frantic when he saw the scene of killing pigs and chopping meat on the street, and snatched the knife and went straight to the little girl.

"Where's his father?"

"Inside, since I woke up, I cried a lot and didn't leave Hu Muyan an inch, originally he didn't let the autopsy at first, but the lower official said that he just agreed."

As soon as he entered the house, Sang Huai'an saw Father Yan sitting on a stool with empty eyes.

As soon as Father Yan saw the prince coming in, he directly stepped forward and knelt on the ground and cried: "Prince, our family Yan'er is definitely not this kind of person who does evil, please find out the truth and give us Yan'er an innocence." ”

Sang Huaian took a deep breath, Liu Shaoqing hurriedly stepped forward and wanted to pull Father Yan up, he said while straining upward: "The prince is selfless, fair and strict, and will naturally find out the truth and return your child's innocence." ”

Liu Shaoqing tried his best but didn't pull up Father Yan, he said in pieces while exerting his strength: "You are really, oops, oh my God, get up quickly, it's time for the prince to go in and check the body." ”

Only then did Father Yan stand up, wipe his tears, and retreat to the side.

Sang Huai'an followed Liu Shaoqing to the back room, and Lao Wang Tou was standing next to Yan'er's corpse and pacing left and right to check.

Sang Huai'an said: "Elder Wang, how is it? ”

The old king touched his chin with his hand and shook his head: "Not how?" ”

He picked up the knife on the wooden table next to him and stretched it out to the abdomen of the corpse and said, "I have to dissect it, it must be a poison that cannot be taken directly, it should be something eaten." ”

Father Yan, who was standing at the door, saw that the sharp knife was going straight to his son's stomach, and he hurriedly stepped forward and shouted, "Don't! ”

The knife in Lao Wangtou's hand had just touched the skin and had not been cut, he withdrew the knife and looked at Liu Shaoqing helplessly and said, "Do you want the old man to have an autopsy, or not." ”

Yan's father pounced on the corpse and blocked his son with his body and said, "Don't move my Yan'er!" ”

Liu Shaoqing put his hand on his forehead and sighed deeply, he just wanted to call someone to drag Father Yan down, but he heard Sang Huaian say lightly.
