124. Favoritism
Xu is noon sun was too blazing, and Chu Cheng only felt dizzy from being sunburned.
There was a rush in the grass, but it was Hu Yu and Yang La who stood up, and there were no scars on their bodies, except for some bright excessive blood stains. Several other masked men also ripped off their scarves, and they all looked very familiar, especially the short and fat man, who was the official guarding the dossier of the palace.
Her eyes widened in disbelief and she muttered, "Lin Boqin...... You count me? β
He worked hard and took great pains to let Feng He play the role of a mountain bandit, just to test whether she was a "Jade Xuanji"?
She held her sword, her thin body shaking. Lin Boqin opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but saw Feng He jump up, cut Chu Cheng's arm backwards, and reminded: "Be careful, adults!" This Jade Xuanji has done a lot of evil, and I'm afraid that she will kill you. β
Chu Ji's eyes were filled with tears, she looked at Lin Boqin, and shouted with a crying voice: "I'm not Yu Xuanji!" β
Lin Boqin did not answer.
Chu Hui's heart was like ashes, and she muttered, "...... Lin Boqin, you promised me that you would believe me! β
He promised her!
Lin Boqin clenched his fists and glanced at the sword in her hand, she knew martial arts and was good at using a golden silk soft sword. Thinking about it again, Huo Ying said at the beginning that Yu Xuanji had disguised herself as Li Siniang's maid Zi Tao, but the real Li Siniang disappeared halfway, but she became "Mrs. Lin".
Even though this woman was his beloved, his wife, he could not ...... in front of his subordinates Favouritism!
Enduring the headache, Lin Boqin said word by word: "The physical evidence is here, you can't quibble." β
Chu Cheng couldn't tell what she felt in her heart, she seemed to have been poured a basin of cold water on her head, extinguishing all the hopes in her heart.
She was no longer powerless, and as soon as her five fingers were loosened, the golden silk soft sword in her hand fell to the ground with a "dang" sound.
Hu Yu and Yang La wanted to say something, but Feng He gave them a look: "Put them in prison first." β
Lin Boqin didn't say anything, Hu Yu and Yang La only stepped forward helplessly and said to Chu Cheng: "...... Madame, offended. Yang Layi followed the law and put the shackles on Chu Cheng.
Hu Yu on the side sighed and said, "Madam, there may be some misunderstanding, when the adults find out the truth, they will definitely let you out." You...... Don't be mad at him. β
"Angry?"
Chu Cheng didn't look at Lin Boqin, and stared at the rusty shackles on his hands with a wry smile.
She's not angry at all right now.
She has no heart, how can she be angry.
Chu Cheng didn't know how she was escorted back to the government prison, and Feng He kept staring at her, for fear that she would suddenly use force to escape. However, along the way, Chu Ji was expressionless, like a marionette, lifeless.
Hu Yu was soft-hearted, and when he saw her like this, he couldn't help but redden.
asked the prison guard to give him the cleanest cell, and invited Chu Cheng in.
"Madam, you can never be the Jiangyang thief who has killed countless people! There must be a misunderstanding in this, you have to tell the adults and prove your innocence! He is always on your side. Hu Yu said in a trembling voice, "It's just that you know that adults never bend the law for personal gain, and he ...... in his heart He also felt very uncomfortable. β
Chu Cheng raised her dry eyes and looked at Hu Yu through the prison door.
He shook his head slightly.
What to tell? What is there to tell? She said that she was not Yu Xuanji, but he didn't believe her!
His distrust, like a sword, was cutting out her heart.
Hu Yu didn't dare to stay in prison for too long, so he told the jailer a few more words, and then turned around and left.
What about the best cell? Still dark and damp, with a foul smell.
It was still very cold in early spring, and Chu Cheng didn't wear much, so at this time she put her arms around her shoulders and put her chin on her knees, thinking back to what she had done, and secretly said ridiculously.
How could she be so ridiculous.
She gave a sincere heart, but Lin Boqin didn't cherish it, he said that he trusted her, it was a fart!
Now that she is in prison, what does Lin Boqin want to do with her? Will she be sentenced, or will she be taken to the vegetable market to be beheaded?
He will definitely come according to the laws of the Great Yuan Dynasty. Let her think about it, how will the Great Yuan Dynasty punish the extremely vicious Jiangyang thieves......
Chu Cheng looked at the dark roof, and actually shed tears.
What is the best husband in the world, heh, obviously nothing!
***
Lin Boqin had been sitting in the back hall for an hour.
He grabbed Yu Xuanji, a prisoner in the imperial court, and the entire government was stunned.
Zhao Qi and others even came to congratulate him, saying that he had made great contributions this time, and it was very likely that he would officially sit on the post of Wangzhou prefect.
At this time, the door was pushed open with a "bang", but it was Gu Jingtong who arrived in a hurry.
He had already asked Yang La, but he felt incredible, propped his hands on the table, and asked Lin Boqin: "Peizhi, are you mistaken?" β
Before Lin Boqin could answer, Zhao Qi on the side said, "Master Gu, how can this be wrong." Fortunately, Lord Lin was witty and saw through Yu Xuanji's tricks in advance, otherwise he would have been in danger if he really let Yu Xuanji hide by Lord Lin's side! β
"Dangerous?" Lin Boqin laughed angrily, "What danger can she do like that? β
Zhao Qi shook his head: "Master Gu, you can't just say that Yu Xuanji is innocent just because she is beautiful!" He raised his hand and pointed to the sea fishing document on the table, "See, kill people and set fires, do all kinds of evil, even kill women and children, is this still a human being?" β
Gu Jingtong was still speaking for Chu Cheng: "I never believe that she would do these things, there must be a misunderstanding!" β
Zhao Qi sighed, and was about to give an example of knowing people and knowing faces, but Lin Boqin, who had been silent, spoke.
He interrupted the argument between the two: "Lord Zhao, you step back first." β
Zhao Qi glanced at Gu Jingtong and clasped his hands together: "Lord Gu protects that female thief like this, I can't think of something else." With that, he rolled his eyes and walked away with his head held high.
Gu Jingtong looked at his back, raised the fan in his hand, and made a gesture of hitting him, his teeth itching.
In the past, Lin Boqin would always smile.
But today, his face is like frost.
"Sheng Feng, she is indeed Jade Xuanji." Lin Boqin lowered his eyes and looked at the words on the sea fishing paperwork, and took the soft sword out of the drawer.
The thin sword body is golden, flashing with cold light, and the edge is exposed.
and the weapons drawn on the sea fishing book...... Same.
Gu Jingtong was stunned, and said without giving up: "Maybe she picked it up?" She saw that this sword was beautiful, so she picked it up and played with it? β
Lin Boqin closed his eyes.
"Her soft sword, always hidden in her belt. I ...... with my own eyes Looking at the swordsmanship she used, even Feng He couldn't beat her. β
Gu Jingtong was completely speechless.
Lin Boqin rubbed his eyebrows tiredly.
He also told himself again and again that Yu Xuanji could not be his wife, but his wife. But the facts are in front of him, there are too many doubts, and he can't find an excuse to convince him.
Gu Jingtong couldn't help but ask: "According to the laws of the Great Yuan Dynasty...... What is Chu Cheng's fate? β
Lin Boqin's face was stunned.
He squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth: "According to the law, you should be beheaded." β
Gu Jingtong knew that this was the end, but he still couldn't believe it. He took two steps forward and said, "Peizhi, I know that you enforce the law strictly. But...... But she is really sincere to you, and there is no falsehood, so you should show favoritism this time! β
Lin Boqin was stunned and looked at Gu Jingtong sharply.
"You and I are going to be officials, the first thing we need to remember is that we must not bend the law for personal gain! Sheng Feng, you actually said such things today? β
"I ......"
Gu Jingtong also knew that he was speechless, and he knew that this was what Lin Boqin hated the most.
Why did Mrs. Lin move to Wangzhou back then? He has always said that he died early due to illness, but he knows that the real reason is that Mrs. Lin released a prisoner for personal gain, which was exposed by political enemies, and then committed suicide in fear of crime.
Gu Jingtong sighed helplessly, "I'll go out first." β
With that, he closed the door and left.
Lin Boqin lowered his eyes, looked at the golden silk soft sword in his hand, rubbed it again and again, and thought of the bits and pieces of getting along with Chu Hui, whether it was joy or sadness, all of them turned into a cold in his heart.
Before you know it, it's late at night.
At this time, Yang La knocked on the door to report.
"Your Excellency."
Lin Boqin put the soft sword in the drawer and raised his reddened eyes, "Said." β
Yang La pointed out the door: "Lord Huo is searching for Yu Xuanji in Qianzhou, Feng He knows about it, and he has rushed to report the matter to him." β
"What?"
A crack appeared in Lin Boqin's cold face, and he suddenly got up and scolded angrily: "Why didn't you stop him?!" β
The incident happened in Wangzhou, he could still think of protecting Chu Cheng against his will, if it reached Huo Ying's ears, he would no longer have a way to leave her life!
Who is Huo Martingale? He is the confidant of the emperor and the commander of the forbidden army who holds great power. Chu Cheng fell into his hands, and it would be strange if he didn't take off a layer of broken skin.
Yang La was also very anxious and helpless: "My lord, Feng He's martial arts are strong, although he is comforted, he can't stop it at all!" β
"How long has he been gone?"
"In less than half an hour."
"Chase!" Lin Boqin slapped the table, "Be sure to chase him back for meβ"
Yang Lada replied yes, and immediately turned his head to do it.
When the room was empty, Lin Boqin sat down.
He lowered his eyes and looked at his hands.
Chu Ji likes to hold his hand the most.
She had promised him that she would never do anything bad, and she wanted him to believe it. She also said that he is the best husband in the world, and he also said that in this life, he will not lose each other.
Lin Boqin's hand trembled slightly unconsciously.
He suddenly remembered why there was light blood on his hands on the night he was drunk. She is not a widow Li Siniang, she is an innocent girl.
She gave herself to him without reservation, how could he ...... Disappointed.
Feng He's riding skills are exquisite, and the road is difficult to walk at night, and Yang Lading can't catch up. If Huo Ying knew the news, she would really be unable to escape death.
Lin Boqin took a deep breath and looked out the window at the vast dark night, his gaze far away.
"That's it."
He threw in the towel.
After all, he couldn't harden his heart and send her to the cage with his own hands and go to the execution ground.
He sighed slightly, and pulled the key to the prison door from the cupboard.
I never thought that he Lin Boqin would have today. The number of young rituals has never violated the law of Dayuan, and now for the sake of a woman, she has broken the discipline that she has adhered to for many years!
