Chapter 51: Fate to Death
A hint of color flashed in Xie Jinlan's eyes, and then he nodded quite understandingly:
"You see that Li Baoer has been favored by the whole family since she was born, but you are living in such pain every day. So in that case, the idea of 'how good it would be if Li Baoer died' was born. ”
Li Xiaoya's eyes were slightly red, and she nodded lightly.
And Ruan Yezhen, who was on the side, had already been blurred by tears after hearing Li Xiaoya tell her story in an undulating voice.
didn't want her embarrassed appearance to be seen by Xie Jinlan, Ruan Yezhen hurriedly turned her back.
Xie Jinlan sighed silently and patted Li Xiaoya's head gently.
Li Xiaoya looked at Xie Jinlan with pleading eyes: "My lord, can you turn around first?" Just a little bit. ”
Xie Jinlan responded with a smile: "Okay." Immediately, he turned his back to Li Xiaoya.
Li Xiaoya said gratefully: "Thank you, my lord!" ”
"Bang!"
The next moment, the sound of objects slamming violently, mixed with a faint muffled snort, clearly reached the ears of Xie Jinlan and Ruan Yezhen.
Xie Jinlan suddenly had a hint of foreboding in his heart, and immediately turned around and looked at the source of the sound.
"Little girl!" At the same time, the picture that caught Ruan Yezhen's eyes made her suddenly dumbfounded.
I saw a little blood stained on the pillar not far away. Some of the undried blood ran down the pillar.
Next to that pillar, Li Xiaoya fell there with her head covered in blood. Only from her slightly undulating chest can you judge that she is still alive at this moment.
Xie Jinlan hurriedly came to Li Xiaoya's side, and did not dislike her such an embarrassed appearance, and directly hugged her in his arms.
Li Xiaoya raised her right hand with great difficulty.
Xie Jinlan hurriedly held it.
The corners of Li Xiaoya's mouth rose slightly:
"Big ...... My lord...... Little girl's sin...... Deserved...... Xiaoya has been ...... Feel ashamed...... To Boa...... After Xiaoya's death...... Could you please be interested in the ...... Surname Disclosure ...... The truth...... Still...... Bao'er ...... Fair ...... Anyway, the people ...... Xiaoya ...... soon I'm going to die...... Listen to ...... again Less than ...... Those...... Ugly ...... Talk...... Can you ...... Promise......"
Xie Jinlan's eyes were complicated, but he nodded without hesitation: "Okay, this official promises you." ”
Li Xiaoya smiled with relief, then her brows furrowed, and after coughing a few times, blood instantly overflowed from the corners of her mouth.
After gasping for breath with blood, Li Xiaoya once again opened her mouth with great difficulty:
"Your Excellency...... Xiaoya is still ...... And one more ...... requests...... Xiaoya didn't want to ...... Do it again...... Little girl...... Wait for the little girl...... Died...... Bury me in ...... The little girl is not ...... ...... in the distance On the hillside...... It reads...... Feast ...... Tomb of Rhyme...... Mantou Brother ...... Brother said...... Xiaoya is very ...... Nimbus...... Charm ......"
Seeing Xie Jinlan nodding in response, Li Xiaoya finally couldn't help the itching in her throat, and a mouthful of fishy sweet blood sprayed on Xie Jinlan's body.
Raising her eyes again, Xie Jinlan's face gradually blurred in her eyes.
At this moment, she seemed to see the person she wanted to see the most, and a satisfied smile appeared on her face:
"Brother Mantou...... Are you here...... Send me ...... Final ...... Cheng'...... I'll ...... later. It's called ...... Feast ...... Rhyme...... It's you...... ...... for me The name ...... I'm ...... Like...... You've been letting ...... I call you...... Brother Banquet......
But I ...... Or is it a pleasure...... Cheer you...... Mantou brother...... Because...... In my fast ...... Don't live ...... Go down...... When...... It's you who carry ...... Fragrant ...... White flour steamed buns...... Encourage me...... Can you ...... before you die See you...... At a glance...... That's nice...... Bye...... Like to wear ...... Wearing a mask...... The steamed bun ...... Brother ......"
Before the last word fell, Li Xiaoya suddenly closed her eyes, tilted her head to the side, and her right hand slipped directly from Xie Jinlan's hand to the ground.
And her face was filled with a relieved and satisfied smile.
Ruan Yezhen, who was kneeling beside Li Xiaoya, had already covered her mouth and couldn't cry.
Holding the silent Li Xiaoya in her arms, Xie Jinlan's eyes drooped slightly, covering the complicated emotions in her eyes.
After a few moments, he got up and walked out the door with the thin man in his arms.
Ruan Yezhen wiped the tears from her face indiscriminately, and quickly got up and followed.
Chen Zhushu and the others, who were waiting not far from the conference hall, moved their eyes to the door after hearing the movement.
Seeing Xie Jinlan appear with Li Xiaoya in his arms, everyone's faces invariably showed a look of surprise.
After seeing Li Xiaoya's face blurred by blood, as well as the large blood stains stained on Xie Jinlan's clothes, they suddenly looked horrified.
When Xie Jinlan approached, one of them stammered, "Big ...... My lord...... How is this ...... It's one thing......"
Xie Jinlan looked directly at Master Chen, who seemed to have guessed something:
"Master Chen, posted a notice at the entrance of the yamen, and the murderer who wrote Li Bao'er has been arrested and brought to justice, and it is his cousin Li Xiaoya, who is eight years older. Now Li Xiaoya has confessed her sins and repented, and she has offset her life. ”
Except for Master Chen, who already knew the truth, the rest of the people looked at each other.
They never thought that the real murderer behind this murder would be a little girl less than ten years old!
Ruan Yezhen didn't want to continue to be immersed in sadness, and after taking a deep look at Li Xiaoya in Xie Jinlan's arms, she drifted away directly.
When she came to the gate of the county office, looking at the bustling crowd and the voices that kept coming into her ears with various flavors, Ruan Yezhen's mood improved a little.
Looking up at the bright sky, Ruan Yezhen opened her arms and squinted her eyes slightly: Perhaps, she will be able to return to her body soon.
Immediately, she retracted her movements, and a trace of bitterness appeared at the corner of her mouth:
It's just that I don't know, what is the condition of her body now? But either way, it's always bad, right? Daddy, they must have felt very uncomfortable in the face of her in a bad situation......
About a quarter of an hour later, Yanai walked out of a hurry.
I saw him casually brush the paste twice in a corner of the notice board, and then flatten the notice in his hand and paste it heavily.
After the catcher left, the people around him surrounded him curiously.
There were such literate people who read aloud the message from above: "September ...... of the 16th year of Qinghe"
Ruan Yezhen, who was on the side, was stunned for a moment when she heard this. Then he quickly passed through the crowd and floated to the notice.
The seven words 'September of the 16th year of Qinghe' instantly came into Ruan Yezhen's eyes. This made her pupils constrict, and she murmured unconsciously in her mouth:
"It turns out that six months have passed? Why is it so .......?"
With a casual glance, Ruan Yezhen saw the words 'Jiahe County Lord' written on another notice.
After taking a closer look, Ruan Yezhen found that this was actually about her own imperial list!
It turned out that she had fallen asleep? In this way, it can be regarded as a blessing in misfortune.
