Chapter 42: Deep regret

"Shut up! Shut up! You ungrateful people don't want to hurt me! ”

Shopkeeper Li hurriedly shouted, but it was obvious that at such a life-threatening moment, any master-servant relationship had become bullshit.

"General, I am willing to atone for my crimes, confess all the past crimes of Shopkeeper Li, and I implore the general to give me a lenient sentence for the sake of my voluntary confession."

The thug who had just grabbed Qiao Jinyu and was about to slap her on the back of the neck said eagerly.

Looking at Zhao Kuo's attitude towards Qiao Jinyu's maintenance, he knew that he would not be able to escape today no matter what.

And the scene he was about to attack Qiao Jinyu just now happened to be bumped into by Zhao Kuo, he was worried that if he didn't find a way to reduce his guilt, when Zhao Kuo really found out something to put them in prison, he was afraid that his fate would be worse than everyone present.

"You! Good you Liu Si, I don't treat you well on weekdays, you want to betray me! ”

Shopkeeper Li pointed at Liu Si with gloomy eyes, eager to tear him up.

Liu Si sneered, "Shopkeeper Li, on weekdays, because of your obscenity, we have to do whatever you say, but today with General Zhao in charge, how can I follow you to do anything wrong?" ”

The rest of the thugs were not fools, and they echoed: "That is, the general knows everything clearly, and when he checks, he knows that you are behind everything." ”

Zhao Kuo's face did not improve in any way, and he saw through the tricks of these thugs to shirk the blame at a glance.

His gaze slowly swept over the faces of everyone present, and he said: "Anyone who voluntarily confesses to the crime should be punished lightly according to the circumstances. Today, I will not take you to prison, I hope that you will take the initiative to go to the yamen and surrender yourself, and inform the prefect of what crime you have committed. ”

Someone's face was full of joy, Zhao Kuo's eyes were awe-inspiring, and his voice was deep.

"Don't think about not going, and don't try to run away, the faces of each of you are already engraved in my mind."

"If I know that any of you did not go to the yamen to confess your sins or run away, your family will bear the responsibility for the crimes you have committed."

After Zhao Kuo finished speaking, the hearts of all the thugs sank, and their hearts were cold.

Zhao Kuo didn't have the leisure to pay attention to what they would think, glanced at Qiao Jinyu in his arms, hugged her past everyone, and walked through the alley.

It wasn't until the two walked out of the alley, turned a corner and walked out of a distance, that General Zhao, who realized it later, realized that he seemed to be still holding Qiao Jinyu's waist, and the distance between the two had crossed the boundary between men and women.

With a shock in his heart, Zhao Kuo suddenly withdrew his hand, and said a little helplessly: "Miss Jinyu, just now...... It's me who was abrupt, I hope you can forgive me. ”

Qiao Jinyu, who had been "light" by him for a long time, blinked, feeling very regretful in her heart.

Qiao Jinyu originally thought that an old-fashioned man like Zhao Kuo would directly say that he would be responsible for her in the future.

After all, the two were so close just now, it can be regarded as skin-to-skin.

Where did she think that Zhao Kuo actually asked her to forgive, she didn't want to forgive, not at all.

Hooking her lips, Qiao Jinyu shook her head, and the tears in the corners of her eyes that had not yet dried looked very stylish.

"The general's words are serious, the general just now was to save me, it's not abrupt."

Saving people is urgent, but after saving people, they still hold on to people, what is it if they are not abrupt?

Zhao Kuo felt that he was probably not as fair and upright as he imagined.

Because in fact, he didn't have much guilt about the fact that he had been holding Qiao Jinyu for too long.
