Chapter 71: Seeking Justice
The sky was sunny and the winter sun was warm and pleasant, but the atmosphere in the box was very strange.
"Hand over the antidote and get out of Cloudsdale!" Mu Xueyi sat down elegantly, but her tone was more than a little colder than just now, her profound face was covered with a layer of majesty, and the melancholy between her eyebrows was much weaker, and her amber eyes flashed with a sharp light.
Yan Ran smiled, such a cold and majestic appearance should be what the lord of a city should be.
"The antidote? What antidote? Dongfang Ming looked puzzled, as if he really didn't know anything.
Yan Ran looked at Dongfang Shen pretending to be stupid, smiled sullenly in his heart, and looked at Mu Xueyi curiously, wanting to see how this city lord would react in the face of such a situation.
Mu Xueyi's eyes were half-narrowed, and a terrifying cold air emanated from her body, and the temperature in the box instantly dropped by several degrees, and the maids waiting on the side all shrank and did not dare to move, for fear of provoking the city lord.
However, Yan Ran and Dongfang Ming are not ordinary people, especially Yan Ran, seeing Mu Xueyi's reaction, the corners of her mouth pulled out a perfect arc, she withdrew her hand, picked up the fragrant tea on the table, sniffed it gently, and then closed her eyes, as if she was recalling the fragrance of tea, and then took a sip, "Before I came to Cloud City, I heard that Cloud City is a good place, because the city lord of Cloud City is a good city lord who is sympathetic to the people, he has formulated a series of laws and regulations, and he enforces the law like a mountain. It has never shielded and appeased anyone, and today's Cloudsdale can be said to be a rich place, where the people live and work in peace and contentment, and live a good life. Therefore, Yan Ran has always longed for it, but I didn't expect that after I really came to Cloud City, I found that there are too many things in this world that are not worthy of the name, to be honest, Lord City, Xiaomin is very disappointed in you. ”
When Yan Ran spoke, his eyes kept staring at Mu Xueyi for a moment, watching the expression on his face getting colder and colder, looking at a fierce look flashing in his amber eyes, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, hoping that this city lord would not let her down.
Mu Wei, the housekeeper on the side, looked up at Yan Ran in shock, and then looked at Mu Xueyi, with an uneasy look in his eyes.
Mu Xueyi snorted coldly, "I don't need two people like this in Cloud City!" ”
Seeing Mu Xueyi say this, Yan Ran only said twice, this is so reversal that she almost wants to clap her hands. However, if she really leaves Cloud City, where can she go among the Three Kingdoms? Suddenly, Yan Ran had a feeling that although the world was big, there was no place for her.
"It seems that the city lord is bent on protecting the short?" Dongfang Ming saw Yan Ran showing a blank and helpless look, and his heart ached, how could the lady he swore to protect to the death allow others to bully him like this, even if this person was the city lord? He is a lady in the East, she can do whatever she wants, she can live wherever she wants, and no one can bully her and drive her away!
A murderous aura suddenly rolled up from Dongfang Ming's body, with him as the center, swept away, and the maidservants who were standing around and waiting couldn't stand this murderous aura, and they trembled and staggered.
Mu Xueyi's eyes sank, and she looked coldly at the angry man in front of her.
Seeing this, Yan Ran hurriedly grabbed Dongfang Ming's hand and shook his head at him, telling him not to be excited.
"Lord City, I can give you the antidote, and it's okay if you want me to leave Cloud City, but I want to ask for justice!" Yan Ran's face was unprecedentedly serious, she didn't believe that the person who could promulgate such humane laws and regulations would be an unreasonable person, if this city lord was really so unbearable, then Cloud City could not be governed so well by him, so she wanted to gamble and see that he was a fair and strict city lord!
A smile appeared on Mu Xueyi's face, and her already charming face instantly added three points of color, and the sadness between her eyebrows faded away, Yan Ran couldn't help but admire in her heart, this man is so handsome when he laughs!
And Dongfang Ming's heart was stuffed, this city lord must have done it on purpose, he actually laughed so much and seduced his mother!!
If Yan Ran knew what Dongfang Ming was thinking in his heart, he would definitely be depressed to death.
"What? Are the laws and regulations promulgated by the lord of the castle just decorations? Or is it just that 'the prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people'! Yan Ran used a small agitation method.
"What justice do you want?" Mu Xueyi spoke in a deep voice.
"The city lord still remembers that you once issued a decree that you are not allowed to ride horses in the city! Violator shall be fined 100 rods and 100 silver. Yan Ran suddenly changed the subject.
Hearing Yan Ran's question, Mu Wei, the housekeeper standing on the side, suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
"Yes, the lord of this city has indeed issued such a law." Mu Xueyi's eyebrows were deep, and she replied lightly.
"On that day, Yan Ran came to Cloud City, the city lord's daughter and the young master of the Yue family rode the streets, and the people on the street avoided it......" Yan Ran said while observing Mu Xueyi's expression, seeing him frowning, with a look of disbelief on his face, Yan Ran must be in his heart, it seems that this city lord doesn't know the whole story at all, since this is the case, it will be easy to do.
"On that day, in order to avoid the two galloping horses, the actions of the people on the street can be described as well-trained, which shows that the daughter of the city lord and the young master of the Yue family are not once or twice on the street. Lord of the Castle, don't you know? After Yan Ran finished speaking, he looked at Mu Wei, the housekeeper who was standing on the side, with a blank look.
If this lord really doesn't know the behavior of his daughter and nephew, then there is only one possibility, that is, someone deliberately concealed it, and thinking about it this way, the legendary fair and strict lord of the castle lord today has an explanation for this kind of short-term protection.
Mu Xueyi's gaze suddenly sharpened and shot at Mu Wei who was standing on the side, but he soon withdrew his gaze and looked at Yan Ran, "Okay, if you want this justice, this city lord can pay you back!" ”
Yan Ran was noncommittal, and smiled, "Then Yan Ran will thank you Lord of the City!" In fact, speaking of which, that day, if it weren't for the adult's daughter and the young master of the Yue family on the street, there would be no conflict with Yan Ran and others, the city lord is willing to give Yan Ran a justice, Yan Ran will naturally not pursue anything, after all, it is not a big deal, I believe that after this time, the people of Cloud City will be more compliant with the laws and regulations issued by the city lord. ”
Mu Xueyi looked at the smiling woman, her eyes sank and sank, and she suddenly became a little in a trance, that woman seemed to be like this, obviously taking advantage, and said that everything was for your sake......
"Since Miss Yan Ran also said that it was a trivial matter, why did she poison her sister?" Mu Xueyi quickly came back to her senses, and her tone deteriorated again.
Seeing this, Dongfang Ming on the side snorted coldly, "The thief shouted to catch the thief!" If the castle lord's sister doesn't come to kidnap people in the middle of the night, will we fight back? Are those laws and regulations promulgated by the city lord only for ordinary people like us, and they will not work once they meet the relatives of the city lord! is so deceitful and famous, isn't the city lord afraid of the world's ridicule? ”
"Bold! The lord of the city is fair and strict, and he will never show favoritism or shield anyone! Mu Wei, who was standing on the side, finally spoke, he stepped forward quickly and knelt down on one knee in front of Mu Xueyi: "My lord, everything is a small fault, please punish him!" ”
"Hehe, it seems that someone came out to admit that he was guilty of concealing and not reporting." Yan Ran played with his fingers and said elegantly: "Dongfang Ming, don't get excited, of course the city lord is not the kind of person who has a short guarantee, it's just that he was blinded by the people around him." ”
For Yan Ran's ridicule, the look on Mu Xueyi's face became even heavier.
"Okay, the daughter and nephew of the city lord rode horses in the street, and the sister kidnapped people, and the city lord will not tolerate it according to the law, but the two of you drive the demon beast to hurt people, and the same sin cannot be atoned!" After Mu Xueyi finished speaking, she slapped the table violently, and suddenly, countless soldiers broke into the door and surrounded Yan Ran and Dongfang Ming.
Dongfang Ming's face showed anger, and Yan Ran's face also showed a look of disdain, "What a fair and strict city lord, from beginning to end, the fault is the city lord's relatives, we are just resisting, is this also wrong?" Still, the lord of the castle thinks we deserve to be bullied! In that case, what is the use of the law in this cloud city? ”
"Hmph, you know the law? The law given by the lord of this city must be obeyed by anyone! You want to be fair, the city lord will give you justice, the city lord's daughter, nephew, and sister, the city lord will deal with it according to the law, but isn't it wrong for the two of you to be lawless when you first came to Cloud City, fighting in the street, and then driving demonic beasts to hurt people? ”
Yan Ran was stunned for a moment, relying on it, this city lord is still a yard?
When Mu Wei on the side heard Mu Xueyi say this, he panicked all of a sudden, "Adult, Miss is still young and ignorant, please read it for the sake of Miss to bypass Miss for the sake of Miss." ”
Of course Mu Xueyi knows that his daughter is only five years old, five years old, but now that this pair of men and women are using laws and regulations to pressure him, what can he do?
Yan Ran didn't expect this city lord's legal awareness to be so ...... Modernization!
"Is the lord of the city willing to order a thousand gold? She's only five years old, so if she fights for ten zhang, will it kill her? Yan Ran said with interest.
Mu Xueyi is really angry now! This woman, she is the one who wants justice, and now he is going to deal with it according to the law, and she is chirping here again, but what she said also makes sense, his baby daughter is only five years old, how can he not feel distressed, besides......
Mu Xueyi has a war between heaven and man in his mind, and he wants the law and responsibility? Do you still want a daughter and family affection? He's in a dilemma!
Everyone in the box looked at Mu Xueyi, Yan Ran and Dongfang Ming were waiting for his decision, and Mu Wei and those soldiers were also waiting for his order.
Yan Ran saw that the city lord hesitated for a long time and couldn't make up his mind, so he suddenly chuckled, "Lord the city lord, the law is ruthless, and people are merciful. ”
Mu Xueyi suddenly raised her head and looked at the woman in front of her, her eyes were full of shock, at the beginning, that woman also said that the law is ruthless, and people are affectionate!
