Chapter 76: Is the prince your husband?
Shen Muzhou's wrist holding the sword flipped over, pressed the little girl's shoulder with the hilt, and said coldly, "If you dare to talk nonsense, I will kill you."
After all, it was a group of children, and after listening to Shen Muzhou's words, they all showed a trace of timidity, and they didn't dare to shout anymore, and their momentum weakened suddenly.
Only the little girl glared at him, protecting a group of children behind her, and was not afraid of the sword in his hand: "What are you afraid of? If he wanted to kill us, he would have unsheathed his sword long ago, and he couldn't have tried to scare us with the hilt of his sword...... Withdraw...... us."
As soon as she said that, Shen Muzhou pushed the sword in his hand down with his thumb, revealing a small white blade, his face was gloomy, and his eyes were calm but with a layer of coldness, which made people feel afraid.
The little girl's words choked in her throat and swallowed.
Lin Yanxi's voice behind him was a little weak, and he whispered, "Put away the sword."
Shen Muzhou turned his head slightly to look at her, stunned, he was worried about what these children who didn't know what to say.
She grabbed the sleeve of Shen Muzhou's sword-holding arm, frowned slightly, and shook her head at him, for fear that the sword had no eyes, and Shen Muzhou acted violently, which would really hurt these children.
Shen Muzhou put away the sword in his hand.
After his arm hung down, the little girl didn't give up, she glared angrily, and said viciously, "You killed Brother Shi, do you want to kill us again?"
Lin Yanxi stared at the little girl and asked calmly, "If I want to kill you, will I still collect my sword?"
Shen Muzhou grabbed Lin Yanxi's wrist and said, "Let's go."
The little girl ran over with a few children and stopped them and said, "You killed Brother Shi, you can't go!"
Lin Yanxi didn't want to explain too much, his eyes were slightly cold and asked, "Then what do you want?"
This question stopped this group of children, the little girl was the most clever, she rolled her eyes, thought for a while and said, "I want to get justice for Brother Shi, he said that he found his sister, but your sister killed him, don't want to shirk responsibility!"
Lin Yanxi felt that this girl was very awkward, but she was a little stubborn, which was admirable.
She bent down slightly, stretched out her slender arm, the little girl subconsciously took half a step back, Lin Yanxi paused, or gently rubbed the little girl's hair and said, "I am as sad as you when the little stone is dead, if you think that hating me can make you feel better, then you can hate it."
The little girl froze in place, like a punch on soft cotton, she didn't argue for herself, she didn't get angry, and walked out of the yard very calmly.
"Sister Xiaoyan, shall we forget this?" One of the boys asked.
Xiao Yan stared at their departing figures and said, "Of course not, let's go!"
Lin Yanxi didn't speak all the way, she looked at the hurried people on the street, and stopped at the tea shed where the tea was served before, Shen Yu was in the tea shed, swaggering on the rocking chair, and there were two officers and soldiers waiting next to him, serving him tea and fanning him.
He crossed Erlang's legs, half lying on the rocking chair, and half squinted his eyes and commanded: "Oh, what about you, make porridge for the people, you put more rice, listen!"
The officers and soldiers who were boiling porridge in the back said helplessly: "Master, this porridge is thick enough, and it can't be stirred any more."
Shen Yu said impatiently: "Hey, let you put it as much as you want, what so much nonsense!"
The officers and soldiers hurriedly put two more spoonfuls of washed and spare rice with a smile, "Well, everyone line up, everyone has a share!"
There are many homeless people in unclothed clothes sitting in the tea shed, and at the entrance, there are officers and soldiers giving tea and porridge, and children and the elderly can also receive an egg.
Shen Muzhou explained: "The county order was sealed, these are all the stolen money he got from selling well water, and the water well has also resumed its normal supply, and the drought in Nanmin is still relieved one day, although there is no money, but the daily water supply is still limited, one scoop of water per person per day, at least every day can use water."
After hearing this, Lin Yanxi looked at the tea shed and didn't speak, his originally listless complexion regained some interest, and he stood opposite and looked at it for a while before saying, "I'm tired, let's go back."
Shen Muzhou and Lin Yanxi walked to the main street in front of the inn, and the group of children just came out of nowhere to surround them.
Xiao Yan was holding a small basket in her arms, she stared at Lin Yanxi, her eyes were full of hostility and said, "If you hadn't promised Brother Shi to take him to the capital, and take him to Brother Jiang, he wouldn't have died!" Nan Min can't go, so let me ask you that you promised to find Brother Jiang before? Did you find it?"
Lin Yanxi subconsciously glanced at the people around her, she was worried that another group of people looking for Jiang Cong were hiding in the crowd, and no one could know that Jiang Cong might still be alive.
She was silent for a moment, then said slowly, "I haven't found it yet, but I already have news of him."
As soon as Shen Muzhou heard it, he knew that she was deliberately saying it to outsiders.
Xiao Yan asked, "Where is Brother Jiang?"
Lin Yanxi sighed, raised his voice and said, "He's dead, Jiang Cong is dead!"
"Dead?" These children were surprised for a moment and then quickly accepted this fact, Jiang Zhai was defeated overnight, and everyone disappeared, and they knew that it was more than lucky.
It's just that when I got this definite answer, I was still sad for a moment.
Xiao Yan decided that Lin Yanxi didn't go to Brother Jiang at all, she had obviously seen someone enter Jiang's house two days ago, she gritted her teeth angrily and said, "Liar!"
As she spoke, she mixed the rotten vegetables from the bamboo basket with stones and threw them at Lin Yanxi.
When the other children saw her move, they were not to be outdone, and hurriedly followed and threw the prepared things at them.
Shen Muzhou pulled Lin Yanxi into the big box for the first time, but her skirt was still covered with rotten vegetable leaves, mixed with a stench.
Fortunately, they were not far from the inn, and the people of the Night Division rushed out to escort them back to the inn.
The Dark Night Division quickly controlled several children, led by Xiao Yan, and she yelled unwillingly, "Let go of me! If you have the ability, you will kill me!"
She pointed at Lin Yanxi and said aggressively: "It was you who killed Brother Shi, he believed that you would die!" You're a nemesis, and anyone who comes near you will die!"
Xiao Liu asked, "Lord Wang, how to deal with this group of children?"
Shen Muzhou frowned and glanced at them and said, "Put them in the county jail."
Those words cut Lin Yanxi's heart like a knife, no matter how much she comforted herself, Xiaoshi's death was inseparable from her, her body trembled slightly, her face became more and more pale, her teeth bit her lower lip, staring at them speechless.
There was no more intercession for these children.
Xiao Yan smiled smugly and said, "What? You have nothing more to say? You also know that you are guilty of killing Brother Shi, and you don't dare to speak! So why don't you die? One life for another."
Shen Muzhou stabbed Xiao Yan in the shoulder with the hilt of the knife, and he controlled his strength, which would only make her suffer a little, and would not really hurt her.
"Sister Xiaoyan!" The other children shouted.
Xiao Yan clutched her shoulders, her eyebrows tightened in pain, and she stared at them resentfully.
Luo Wanwan has been standing on the second floor silently observing all this, she felt that the girl who was accused was very pitiful, and when she was about to go downstairs, Si Qin grabbed her and said, "Girl, let's not get involved in their affairs."
She hesitated, but went downstairs, slowly walked out of the inn and said timidly, "Little girl, I don't know what happened between you, I just want to ask you, if you were her, would you be able to do things better?"
Xiao Yan looked at Luo Wanwan, stared at Lin Yanxi again, and said, "At least if Brother Shi dies because of me, I will feel guilty and sad, but what about her? Is there a little sadness on her face?"
Luo Wanwan asked rhetorically, "Do you have to cry bitterly if you are sad?"
"If she wasn't sad, how could she kill all the bad guys in the pit prison in order to avenge Little Stone, and she was in a coma for two days and two nights? Little girl, stop making trouble." Shen Yu just came back from the tea shed, his gaze swept lightly over Luo Wanwan and landed on Xiao Yan's body.
Xiao Yan wanted to say something, but Shen Muzhou held back his anger and said, "If you say one more nonsense, I will cut off your tongues."
He was not good at explaining, and used the simplest and most brutal way to shut them up.
Lin Yanxi has been
Her lowered eyes lifted, she looked at Xiao Yan fixedly, dragged her weak body out of the inn, she walked to the side of a dark night division, and took a small basket of rotten vegetables mixed with cow dung from his hand,
"What are you going to do?" Xiao Yan was grabbed by the arm of the two Night Division guards and couldn't break free.
Lin Yanxi's apricot eyes still had no waves, holding the frame of things, almost using all the strength of his body to lift it, all buckled on Xiao Yan's body.
Now Xiao Yan's body is the same as her, stained with rotten vegetable leaves, emitting bursts of foul smell.
Her little white face was full of disgust, gloomy and cold, and her voice was weak but exuded a ruthless voice: "I owe Xiaoshi, I will pay him back, but I don't owe you, let's settle down."
Shen Muzhou said in a deep voice: "Lock them in, and release them when they admit their mistakes."
Xiao Liu saluted and took the group of twelve or thirteen-year-old children down.
Seeing that there was nothing wrong here, Luo Wanwan was about to turn around and go back to the second floor, Shen Muzhou stopped her and said, "Girl, can you please help Yan Xi change into clean clothes."
She couldn't figure out Lin Yanxi's temper, so she tentatively took her hand and took her upstairs, but unexpectedly Lin Yanxi was extremely cooperative and followed behind her.
After washing Lin Yanxi briefly, and changing into clean clothes, seeing that she was still so sullen, Luo Wanwan took out a small packet of candy from the baggage, took a piece from it and put it in her mouth.
took another piece and put it in Lin Yanxi's hand and said, "I have been raised in a bitter cold place since I was a child, this is the best we can eat, you taste it, I will eat a small piece when I am sad at home."
"If you put it in your mouth, you can feel better."
Lin Yanxi looked at the sugar in her hand mixed with a ginger flavor, she put it in her mouth, it tasted delicious, sweet with the freshness of ginger, and the base note was a little bitter, which blended with the sweetness just right.
Seeing that her mood was a little better, Luo Wanwan's curious heart couldn't hold back any longer, and tried to ask, "...... the tall man outside? Lord, is this your husband?"
