Chapter 117: Planting Blame
She couldn't figure out how she let people get into the pit.
"You are wearing brocade today, this material can only be worn by a person with a prominent family, he determines that you are a noble person through your clothing, so the price is sky-high, but you don't know it, and you think you have taken advantage! I don't believe you'll look back."
Zhong Ling turned around and saw that the stall owner really pinched the silver in his hand and looked at it, with a ball of joy on his face.
Zhong Ling: ......
Shen Yichi looked at her side face, his eyes were gentle: "It doesn't matter, there is enough money in the left and right families for you to squander!" ”
Zhong Ling didn't hear it, stroked the hairpin, and walked forward by himself.
The night market was crowded, and Shen Yichi stood three steps away from her from beginning to end, not far away, not close, so as to protect her.
Zhong Ling tried to ignore the person behind him, but he couldn't, and his burning eyes never took his eyes off her for a moment.
Zhong Ling only felt that his heart was in turmoil, and he subconsciously quickened his pace, and was unexpectedly bumped into by the people around him.
"Borrowed!"
The man who hit her looked extremely uneasy to mess with, with a hideous scar on his face that extended from his brow bone to his chin, splitting a face in half.
He was followed by two menacing strong men, several of whom had a clear goal, and did not stop at Zhong Ling for long, striding towards the opposite side.
Zhong Ling vaguely felt that something was wrong, if there were only these three people, how could there be such a strong murderous aura?
His eyes scattered around, and he noticed that many people around him were absent-minded, and their eyes fell on the opposite side from time to time, not to mention one or twenty people.
Zhong Ling subconsciously clenched her fists and struggled for a long time, in the end, she lowered her head, more things are better than less, she is now unable to protect herself.
Turning around, he forced himself to move forward, and suddenly heard a terrible scream behind him.
"Child, my child!"
Turning around almost instantly, Zhong Ling saw the child who was thrown into the air, and suddenly changed, the child seemed to be frightened stupidly, his eyes widened, and he couldn't say a word.
In front of him was a bright broadsword, and behind him was a moat with a turbulent current, and he was dead and dead.
The woman was held back by the long knife and stretched out her hand towards her child, but there was nothing she could do.
Zhong Ling did not hesitate, pulled his legs and rushed up, and pulled the child's falling body on the bridge.
The child is emaciated, but it is not effortless, but the knife behind him is not easy to deal with.
Zhong Ling grabbed his hand and dodged a knife with his head, and the second knife was cut down immediately after.
Shen Yichi stood behind her, stopping those swords and swords for her, Zhong Ling took the opportunity to pull the child up and hold him in his arms, protecting him tightly.
The people hiding in the crowd came up with knives one after another, and as Zhong Ling expected, there were more than twenty.
Zhong Ling looked at the little bean in his arms, and couldn't help but smack his tongue, what is the origin of this child? Orphans and widows attract so many people to hunt down.
There are also a lot of people who are simply Shen Yichi, and they are forced to do those
The people retreated one after another, and the scar-faced gaze of the leader wandered away from Zhong Ling, and he was extremely unwilling to evacuate with his subordinates.
Seeing that they were about to take the woman away, Zhong Ling threw the child into Shen Yichi's arms and greeted her.
The jasper sword slashed at Scarface's hand and snatched the woman away.
Scarface is also a ruthless character, he actually pushed Zhong Ling back a few feet against the jasper sword, and the blood dripping from the wound stretched into a small river, and he could still laugh.
Eight teeth were bared, and he smiled soundly.
It's just that before he had time to draw his knife to face each other, he was struck by a conspiracy, and it was Shen Yichi's hand that used full strength to cut his back with blood.
"Little girl, there will be a period later!"
He broke away from the jasper sword and disappeared under the bridge, Zhong Ling couldn't come back to his senses for a long time, such a hard character, most of them must be compared, they slashed him twice today, I don't know how the other party will retaliate.
"You're acting too recklessly!" Shen Yichi's face turned blue, and his hands trembled violently.
She had just faced the gang of outlaws alone, and the odds were slim, just to save a stranger she didn't know.
Zhong Ling knew that he was at a loss, and was brewing the wording, and the skirt was gently pulled.
Bow your head and meet a pair of bright eyes.
"Sister."
Looking at the little doll he saved, Zhong Ling showed a smile on his face, squatted down and rubbed his head.
"Little brother, how did you provoke those people?"
The little doll was about to speak, but was pulled back by his mother, and the woman held the child in her arms with a wary face.
"Thank you both today, and thank you again in the future......"
The woman lowered her head to thank her, but she didn't intend to see what was hanging from Zhong Ling's waist, and her face changed in an instant.
"The girl is from the palace?"
Zhong Ling followed her line of sight and picked up a piece of jade pendant, the jade pendant had an excellent water head and was engraved with some strange patterns, which was given to her by Yu Zhiqiang.
Zhong Ling was reluctant to ask for it, but Yuzhi told her that with this jade pendant, she could run rampant in the Xingyue Kingdom, so she accepted it and hung it around her waist casually, it seems that this woman is still a knowledgeable person.
"You know?"
The woman grabbed her hand, and the force was so great that Zhong Ling couldn't help but be stunned.
"Girl, please, take me to see the Son of Heaven, I have grievances to sue, and the dog thief won't give our mother and son a way to live!"
When the woman finished speaking, she couldn't cry, and the passers-by stopped, if she wasn't a woman, she was afraid that she would be regarded as a negative person.
Zhong Ling was very embarrassed and wanted to pull his hand out: "This sister, if you have anything to say, let's talk about it, this public is really not presentable!" ”
"Mother!" The little doll hugged his mother's legs, and the tears in her eyes were so pitiful.
The woman regained some of her senses, wiped her tears, and forced her composure.
"What the girl said was that I was abrupt."
"There is a restaurant on the other side, why don't you go and sit there!" Shen Yichi proposed.
Zhong Ling hurriedly nodded in agreement, bent down, picked up Xiaodouding, and strode forward, the woman was stunned, she didn't say anything, and followed Zhong Ling to the other side.
The restaurant has a very elegant name, drunk paradise, people come and go, and the door is like a market.
Zhong Ling hugged Xiaodouding and went straight to the private room on the second floor, and the shopkeeper saw that they were talking and dressing well, so he took out twelve points of hospitality to entertain, and after a while, the meal was ready.
After the woman fed Xiao Douding, she coaxed him to sleep before identifying herself to the two.
"I was the wife of the general of the auxiliary country, our two families are world friends, after I and Xuan, my parents were in charge, married him, and in the second year after marriage, we gave birth to our son, who should have lived this life in harmony, if it weren't for An Qiaoyuan's old dog thief, if it wasn't for him......"
The woman bit her lip and bit her lower lip to bleed, Zhong Ling didn't know who An Qiaoyuan was, she only sighed that she was pitiful, sighed lightly, and stroked her shoulder.
asked softly, "Sister, who is An Qiaoyuan, and what did he do to your husband?" ”
"He is the prime minister of the dynasty! Collaborated with the enemy and treason, and after the matter was exposed, he blamed my husband, and the first emperor was furious and issued an edict...... Beheading ......"
There was no light in the woman's eyes, and when she had said this, she seemed to have lost all her strength, and she sat down on the floor, her expression distracted.
Prime minister? Isn't that An Ruyi's father?
If you want to be able to raise such a daughter, this father is only afraid that it will be more than that.
It's just a pity that such a good family, if An Qiaoyuan hadn't been a hindrance, I'm afraid that now it would also be Hehemei's family.
Zhong Ling's eyes fell on Xiao Douding, with compassion, such a young child has no father, it is really pitiful.
"You want to accuse him of framing the blame, but as far as I know, he is now being favored, and the new emperor has no foundation, so I am afraid that he will point to him to sit on the throne, even if you sue the emperor, I am afraid that I will not help you." Shen Yichi said lightly.
Although every word is heartfelt, what can be said is the truth, Zhong Ling wants to comfort, but he can't say anything.
The woman smiled miserably: "The only hope of the deceased husband before his death is just for me and the child to live well, but the old dog thief didn't even give our mother and son a chance to live, and sent someone to chase and kill, if we didn't meet the two today, I'm afraid that our mother and son have already made a dead soul under the knife!" ”
When the woman said this, she knelt down in front of Zhong Ling.
Zhong Ling hurriedly got up: "Sister, you can torture me, get up quickly!" ”
The woman refused to get up for anything, grabbed Zhong Ling's hand, and her eyes were moist.
"Girl, I know that you are well-wishers, the new emperor is on the throne, and I also know that there is no hope of overturning the case, the only luxury is to live well with the child according to the last wish of the deceased husband, even if I am incognito from now on, I just want to preserve the only bloodline of my husband, and ask the girl to fulfill it!"
After finishing speaking, he couldn't kneel down.
Zhong Ling bent down to help her, but found that his strength was inferior to her, and while marveling at her perseverance, he turned his heart sideways and gritted his teeth and said, "It's just that I want to."
If you want to live, what's so difficult about this, you don't have to enter the palace, just follow me, and I will protect your mother and son! ”
The woman smiled bitterly: "An dog thief is afraid that my child will one day avenge his father, and he has laid a net to arrest our mother and son. ”
"Since you can see at a glance that we are people in the palace, why don't you believe that we will help your mother and son get out of the stars and moon?"
The woman looked up in a daze, looked at the pale young man in front of her, and a trace of expectation rose in her heart: "Really...... Is that okay? ”
In the end, the two of them still took the mother and son to the palace, which naturally caused Zhong Huaining's uproar, and went to reason with Zhong Ling, the other party just held the little doll, with a posture of not entering the oil and salt, and when it came to indignation, Zhong Ling directly pushed the doll in his arms out.
The doll man is a big ghost, Zhong Huaining, who was stunned in a few words, was speechless, he had nothing to do with this sister, so he turned his head and went to find Shen Yichi.
At that time, the opponent was concentrating on chess and did not raise his head.
"The eldest brother also knows Ling'er's temperament, and she is the most old-fashioned and warm-hearted, if you let her see death and not save her, isn't it a fool's dream?"
Zhong Huaining took a deep breath: "Won't you knock her out and bring her back?" You should have knocked her unconscious and brought her back when she came down the mountain, do you know that she is now in a difficult situation, and you have brought a pair of mother and son who were hunted down, where do you put her safety? ”
"I'm not going to let her fall into a trap, never!" Shen Yichi dropped a son and looked up at Zhong Huaining.
