Chapter 55: Cover-up
After finding a decent inn, they lived separately. Thinking about Fang Cai's matter, Mo Jingli's nervous expression, Tian Yao felt as if he had misunderstood the matter, and he still couldn't sleep when he lay there.
"Well, did you misunderstand something?"
With her eyes widened, the girl's thoughts were very chaotic, and in the end she thought that her understanding was biased, and her head hurt when she thought about it, so she emptied her brain and wanted to sleep well as soon as possible.
In a hazy moment, I entered the fragrance of dreams.
The rustling of the leaves in the willow tops on the moon makes the silent night full of mystery, and the chirping of crickets from time to time makes the night even more interesting.
Suddenly, the figures outside the inn shook, and the sparrows in the tall trees were startled and flew around, breaking the harmonious night sky.
The figure in the moonlight flashed quickly, and came to the outside of Tian Yao's door, with the sound of the door opening gently, the figure quickly hid in Tian Yao's room, and was about to raise his eyes to look at the bed, when his arm touched the stool next to him, making a piercing sound.
"Who is it?" Tian Yao was awakened, instinctively shouted a sentence, and looked at a figure at the door.
The surprise is not trivial, "Brother Ah Li, help!" There are thieves! She shouted loudly, and her voice resounded throughout the inn.
The man was in a panic and was about to flee from the door, but as soon as he took two or three steps, Mo Jingli rushed out of the next room and blocked the thief.
The thief slammed his fist into Mo Jingli's face door in a hurry, Mo Jingli squatted down quickly, took advantage of the situation, swept the thief to the ground with the sound of the wind, and then stepped on his chest.
At this moment, Tian Yao also ran out, and saw that the person who fell to the ground and screamed was actually Lin Xuan.
"How are you?" Tian Yao was a little stunned.
Although he was caught, Lin Xuan was still very arrogant, feeling that his father was the city lord of Xuancheng, and he couldn't lose face, "Why did you arrest me?" I'm here to visit her, I'm the young master of the city lord's family! ”
At this moment, many customers in the store gathered over, all wanting to see what kind of thief it was, but they didn't expect it to be Lin Xuan, and everyone began to talk about it.
In the middle of the night, the third watch broke into Tian Yao's room, thinking that he was a bastard, where was there time to reason with him, Mo Jingli kicked him a few times, and he didn't feel relieved.
"A-Yao, you're not scared, are you?" After the fight, Mo Jingli remembered to ask Tian Yao.
Tian Yao shook his head lightly, and glanced at Lin Xuan, who was crying wolf on the ground, "I'm fine, let him go, he has also been punished." ”
"Get out!" With two feet again, Lin Xuan got up in pain and quickly ran out, but he didn't dare to turn his head back.
Lin Xuan, who ran home, was willing to suffer such a loss, and immediately ran to Lin Zhi's room to complain.
Seeing his son's blue nose and swollen face after being beaten, Lin Zhi was angry, he was such a son, since he was a child, he had never touched a finger, and he was beaten like this today.
"Don't think that if you're the prince, I can't touch you!"
Although the other party is the current prince, under impulse, he can't take care of that, after all, this is his world.
Overnight, Lin Zhi led more than 100 soldiers to surround the inn. Lin Xuan covered his wounds and followed behind Lin Zhi, just waiting for revenge and revenge, and he was still grinning when he spoke.
As soon as Mo Jingli and the others lay down, they heard a noise outside, so they got up and watched, only to see that the lights were bright outside, and they had surrounded the place.
When he came downstairs, he saw Lin Zhi looking at Mo Jingli and Tian Yao angrily.
"Your Highness, I, Lin Zhi, treat you like a guest, why do you beat my son Lin Xuan like this now? What mistake did he make? His face turned pale, and he actually had a questioning tone.
Before Mo Jingli could speak, Tian Yao took the lead in taking a step forward, "Your son ran to my room in the middle of the night to plot misdeeds, and I found out, do you think he should be beaten?" The jade finger pointed at Lin Xuan, who was full of injuries, and Tian Yao was extremely angry.
I didn't expect my son to be beaten like this for a servant girl, isn't my son as cheap as that cheap girl?
Thinking of this, Lin Zhi became more and more angry, no matter what, it was a loss, in order to protect his son, he had to find some excuses.
"Now it's all your own rhetoric, I'm afraid it's hard to convince the public, right? Why don't you do this, I'll take you back, and after the trial, I'll make a final decision!" Lin Zhizhen said with words, just to say this for his son.
Hearing him say this, Lin Xuan was of course happy, and shouted loudly, "She seduced me, bring it back and it will be clear for the first trial!" After saying that, he covered his mouth and cried out in pain.
For a while, Tian Yao's face turned pale with anger from their father and son, how could the girl's family tolerate such slander and innocence, and was just about to step forward to theorize, Mo Jingli stepped forward and took a step forward, "No need to judge, I know very well my people, Ah Yao girl Bing Qing Yujie, will never do those things, and I saw Lin Xuan run out in a hurry, it is clear that he is a thief!" ”
"I, I ......" Lin Xuan stumbled two sentences and was difficult to answer for a while, of course, he was very weak-hearted.
"Your Highness, if you want to protect this servant girl like this, Lin is really out of luck today."
Mo Jingli waved his hand, and then pointed at Lin Xuan, "It's not that I'm protecting it, but it's just something out of nothing, you better ask your precious son!" ”
Helpless, Lin Zhi could only leave temporarily, but he was still angry in his heart.
Lin Xuan was even more unwilling, and kept encouraging Lin Zhi beside him, just to ask him to bring Tian Yao and Mo Jingli back, he took the opportunity to act and let out this breath.
The next day, Lin Xuan came to beg his father again early in the morning, and asked Lin Zhi to see the bruises on his body, and even framed him for being seduced by Tian Yao, and shouted injustice in front of Lin Zhi.
Hearing this, Lin Zhi became more and more angry.
"Come on, arrest those two people for me, the woman will be thrown into prison, and the man will be brought to my house, you must not be nonsense to them, just bring people here!" Lin Zhi ordered his subordinates loudly, but it was inconvenient for him to come forward again.
Lin Xuan clapped his hands happily on the side, "That's right, Dad, otherwise the anger in my heart will be hard to dissipate!" ”
The two were forcibly escorted back by the guards, Tian Yao was locked up in the women's prison, and Mo Jingli was taken to Lin Zhi's mansion, and the subordinates greeted him respectfully, but restricted his freedom.
Mo Jing was in a hurry, knowing that they didn't dare to do anything to him, but on Tian Yao's side, he was very worried, and he wanted to go out several times, and saw that there were many guards outside, and it was impossible for him to fight so many people, so he could only wait for the opportunity.
"A-Yao, I will definitely save you, don't be afraid!" Mo Jingli was talking to himself in the room, thinking about countermeasures, and his mind was full of Tian Yao's figure.
Calm down, he pinned his hopes on his subordinates, they would definitely help him secretly, and then find a way to save Tian Yao.
Tian Yao was locked in the same cell as several female prisoners, she was not afraid, and believed that Mo Jingli and his subordinates would definitely find a way to rescue her.
Those female prisoners felt very strange when they saw that she was not wearing a prison uniform, so they asked the reason, and Tian Yao said that it was because Lin Xuan wanted to occupy her that she was arrested here.
Those people were very sympathetic to her, felt that she was very pitiful, and kept comforting her.
At this moment, the hateful Lin Xuan walked in with a shake of his arms and looked at Tian Yao with a lewd smile across the railing.
"Little girl, let's follow me, your backer has been caught now, no one can save you, I'm rich and powerful, how about keeping you fragrant and spicy?" After saying that, he opened the door of the cell and walked forward slowly.
Apricot eyes widened, delicate nose panting, fingertips trembling, "You bastard, I won't follow you with anyone, die of this heart!" A crisp and melodious voice filled the cell.
"I can't help you now, you're a bird in my cage, I can do whatever I want!" With an obscene look in his eyes, he wanted to grab one of Tian Yao's arms.
Seeing that this shameless man wanted to tease him, Tian Yao was a little flustered, and suddenly shouted loudly, "Sisters, this person is Lin Xuan, he usually bullies us women, it's shameless for him!" ”
Just as he was about to grab Tian Yao's arm, those women rushed up to accuse Lin Xuan, and even pushed him out of the cell.
"It's really shameless, and it's the son of the city lord! It's a shame on his father! These women were indignant and said a lot of words that Tian Yao couldn't bear to listen to.
Seeing this, Lin Xuan had no choice but to walk away.
The women burst into laughter, feeling very relieved.
This time, Lin Xuan was half angry again, and in desperation, he could only turn to his father for help.
"Dad, Tian Yao's dead girl is also restless in the cell, encouraging those female prisoners to say bad things about us, and coaxing me out, it's really annoying!" His face was full of grievances, as if he had been beaten up again.
"How can this be true? A servant girl turned against her, and this matter was handed over to her father, don't you just like that girl? Let's go back and wait! Lin Zhi's eyes widened and he decided to vent his anger for his son.
Lin Xuan hurriedly left happily.
In the cell, everyone was still accusing Lin Xuan of not doing it, and suddenly two jailers came. When he opened the door of the cell, he shouted loudly, "Tian Yao came out and wanted to interrogate you!" ”
Seeing this, Tian Yao walked out of the crowd of sisters and walked out with the two jailers, with a pretty face without fear.
Walking out of the prison, the guards handed Tian Yao over to the guards waiting outside, they were Lin Zhi's cronies, Tian Yao had a vague impression.
"Where are you taking me?" Tian Yao was slightly panicked and confused.
As soon as the words fell, I saw a guard raise his hand and slam his palm on the back of her head, and suddenly her eyes went black, and she didn't know anything.
The two guards neatly carried the unconscious Tian Yao into the sedan chair next to her, and then sent her directly to Lin Xuan's station.
There was no movement from his subordinates, Mo Jingli was a little anxious, and kept pacing in the room, very worried about Tian Yao, just afraid that Lin Xuan would harass her again, and now he couldn't protect her at all, and he was uneasy.
