The faces of the people around him changed.

Chu Hongya's gang called Hanako quickly dispersed, and then came to the market one after another.

She saw her younger brother, Little Stone, with his hands and feet tightly tied, being held in the vegetable market by a group of officials, and whipped by whip.

"Eh, look at that child, how pitiful it is, he is less than twelve years old, he was tortured into that appearance, and he is afraid that he will be disabled in this life!" An aunt who bought groceries said to the people around her.

"Phew! There is more than enough to die, Lao Tzu hates this gang called Huazi the most, I have been doing business in Jinling City for so many years, and these scoundrels often steal my things to eat! An uncle who made bread complained from the side.

"I heard from the official, this time this group of people called Hanako was so bold that they dug a tunnel and sneaked into the prince's mansion to steal things, are they forcing their accomplices?" A passer-by said.

"Why do you just steal something, why do you have to ask your accomplices?" Passerby B asked puzzled.

"Because they stole ...... Above...... Topmost...... Stuff! ”

"Shhh

……

"Smack!"

Another whip struck the little stone, his expression distorted, his mouth wide open, as if he wanted to say something, but could not say anything.

"Smack!"

At this moment, his body was covered with blood, and he was looking blankly at the bottom of the vegetable market, as if he was looking for something.

"Listen to all the fathers and villagers, if you wait until dusk today, no one comes out to explain the whereabouts of the disaster relief funds, this suspect will be beheaded!"

Disaster relief?

Chu Hongyan was shocked.

My group just took some rice, where did they get the disaster relief money?

The granaries used by the prince's mansion to store the relief grain were all emptied by them, and there were only dozens of bags of rice in total!

"Hey, these little beasts are so bold that they even dare to steal the disaster relief money from the imperial court!"

A passer-by who looked like he was doing business shook his head,

"I'm so young, but my mouth is really hard enough, and I don't confess to my accomplices when I die, but I'm a man!"

"The wind is going down, it's really the wind is going down!"

"No wonder the people of Jinling City have not received disaster relief food until now, it turns out that the silver has been stolen, what are the guards guarding the gate for?"

Another passer-by looked down and sighed.

"I heard that it was because Prince Zheng had a clean sleeve and couldn't afford to ask someone from the dart bureau to take care of him, and his own family was dizzy by someone else, so he let these market scoundrels get their hands on it!"

A middle-aged man passing by shook his head,

"After the emperor learned about Prince Zheng's deeds, he has pardoned him for the great crime of losing the disaster relief money, but only punished him slightly."

"Eh, it's just that the people of our Jinling City are going to starve again!"

……

Chu Hongyan listened to the discussion of the people around her with a confused expression, she just led someone to steal dozens of bags of rice, how could she suddenly become a prisoner who stole the disaster relief money from the imperial court?

"Red ...... Sister Red Aya! ”

A little screaming Hanako who was dressed in sackcloth and rags and was barefoot suddenly walked in front of Chu Hongya.

"Quick...... Run! ”

"Our territory has been handed over by officials!"

"What?"

Chu Hongyan looked back at him incredulously,

"That'...... Inside the rice...... In fact, the pretending ...... Most of them are stones, and I didn't pay attention to them when I transported them before, but I found out when I came to the door and took out the rice. ”

The little Hanako said breathlessly.

The illusion picture in front of him suddenly flashed, and Shen Feng seemed to tremble slightly when he saw Chu Hongyan's body in front of him.

"That'...... What about our other brothers and sisters? ”

"They've all been caught! There are few who can escape, let's go, Sister Hongyan, we can't stay in Jinling City anymore, we have become the ones who help the prince take the blame, run away! ”

The little beggar seemed to be about to cry.

At this moment, the sunset has hung obliquely in the sky.

"The time has come, execution!"

On the high platform, the small stone has been lifted,

He opened his mouth widely, choked, and wanted to speak, but it was useless, he couldn't make any sound at all, he had been whipped so many times before, he didn't say a word, and the other onlookers thought that this kid was hard-boned, but in fact, it wasn't at all, Chu Hongyan saw that his throat was pitch black, like a ...... It's like being poisoned and dumb.

He wanted to speak, he wanted to roar something,

But nothing can be said!

How so,

Why is this happening?

At this time, Chu Hongyan still didn't understand, why the tunnels of Prince Zheng's mansion were so easy to dig, why the guards in charge of patrolling by Prince Zheng were so lax during this time, it turned out that the granary was deliberately let herself steal!

She softened her feet and staggered forward a few steps before approaching the small rock.

At this moment, she had clearly seen her brother's helpless and desperate face, and Xiaoshi happened to catch a glimpse of her.

Little Stone cried.

His tiny body looked so weak when it was tied to a stake.

Xiaoshi seemed to have suffered some great grievance, his eyes were red, his lips were squirming wildly, tears mixed with blood were constantly dripping, he wanted to speak, he wanted to cry and shout for his sister to save him!

But it didn't work, he couldn't make any sound at all!

At this moment, Chu Hongyan looked at the official messenger not far away, but suddenly hesitated.

……

On the way to ask his heart, Shen Feng looked at the wetness in front of Chu Hongyan, and there were droplets of water dripping on the ground.

One of her feet was still standing in place, while the other was suspended in mid-air.

If she takes this step, she will be discovered by the official and will die.

But if she doesn't take this step, she will have to watch her brother be beheaded.

Inquiry,

Conscience,

Ask your heart!

I see.

"Ugh."

Shen Feng sighed faintly.

He stood behind him and gently patted Chu Hongya's shoulder.

"Don't look back."

The next moment, Chu Hongyan was stunned, as if she had suddenly woken up, and stepped out directly.

"I said, it's not good for you to treat children like this."

The picture in the illusion changed violently, and a young man with eyebrows and swords suddenly appeared in front of Chu Hongyan and glanced at her,

"It's a good seedling, what, do you know the kid on the stage?"

……

"Bang dang!"

The next moment, the picture in front of Chu Hongya's eyes suddenly shattered.

Shen Feng knew that maybe in the real world, Chu Hongyan didn't take that step at all.

"Don't look back, no matter what happens, keep moving forward!"

Regardless of whether Chu Hongya could hear it or not, he was still behind him reminding Chu Hongyan in the illusion.

The picture in front of me changed again.

It turned out to be Dao Daofeng.

The young man he had seen before, with his eyebrows and eyes and swords, was sitting cross-legged on the cliff, holding all kinds of strange magic tricks in his hands, and in front of him was a blazing alchemy furnace, and Chu Hongyan, the sword idiot, and Qin Xin were standing beside the young man, protecting the Fa for him.
