I saw that not far away, Shen Chen was dressed in black, her body was awe-inspiring, and she felt suffocated here.

However, what made her even more unbelievable was in front of Shen Chen-

On the small piece of cold stone bricks, Yueqin lay motionless, scarred, and there was still a fatal wound on her neck that was deep and bone-seeing, and the blood was still flowing out, bubbling and gathering into a dazzling scene under her.

In Lin Xi's position, he could just see Yueqin's tearful face, hideous and terrifying.

She also clearly saw Yueqin's pale face like a dead man.

…… No, it's not like a dead man, Yueqin is dead!

Die with a grievance or everlasting regret!

And not far from Yueqin, the proprietress was also lying on the ground weakly, with the same fatal wound as Yueqin.

But the proprietress was not yet angry, and struggled to crawl towards Yueqin, but she had no strength, so she could only reach out to Yueqin in vain, trying to reach her.

But in a few moments, the proprietress looked away and completely collapsed.

Before he died, he looked in the direction of Lin Xi, his overly sad look seemed to be deeply questioned, and the startled Lin Xi couldn't help but retreat, his stomach turned over and down, he couldn't help but lean over and retch, and his tears fell uncontrollably.

For Shen Chen, this movement really can't be ignored.

He turned around sharply and saw Erbao, whose face was pale and panicked, and Lin Xi, who was so frightened that he was holding on to the wall and vomiting, and choked up.

Shen Chen's face changed slightly, and he quickly came to Lin Xi's side with great strides, patted her on the shoulder, and his voice was low and tight: "Lady? How are you? Lady ......"

Lin Xi finally got better, grabbed his sleeve with his backhand, gritted his teeth and asked, "What's the matter?" Why did Yueqin's mother and daughter ...... What the hell is going on? Who did it to them? ”

Just last night, their mother and daughter were fine, and she spoke to them!

Today it is ......

Why is this happening? Why are they still in prison?!

Shen Chen's expression sank, he didn't say anything, and turned his head to look not far away.

Lin Xi followed and looked over.

Before, because she was too shocked, her attention was on Yueqin's mother and daughter, but now she found out that there were others, but it was actually the henchman next to Yang Shizhong-Wu Jiu.

At this moment, his face was extremely pale, and he calmly looked at Lin Xi, and then lowered his head to wipe his sword.

There was also blood stains on it.

Who did it, it goes without saying.

Lin Xi couldn't understand: "Why?!" Yueqin has agreed to cooperate with you, and the list has been found for you, and aren't you going to arrest the officials who betrayed Qin? Don't you need Yueqin to testify to you? Why kill her? ”

Hearing this, Wu Jiu's hand paused slightly, and he continued to wipe his sword, quickly wiped it clean and put it into the sheath, and walked over the two people on the ground.

He stopped two steps away from Lin Xi and Shen Chen and looked at Lin Xi.

"I'm carrying out my lord's orders." He said lightly, "If you have any questions, you can ask Lord Shen." But ......"

Wu Jiu's words paused, and Lin Xi's eyes were cold, which made Lin Xi suddenly feel a sense of danger being put on top of a poisonous snake.

The next moment, Shen Chen suddenly stepped forward and blocked in front of Lin Xi.

Shen Chen looked at Wu Jiu coldly.

Wu Jiu couldn't resist Shen Chen's forced gaze, he was silent for a moment, and still said the rest of the words: "Miss Lin, please keep it secret from you and Ling Gongzi." If you leak anything out, with Lord Shen protecting you, you will naturally be safe. But whether Lord Shen will have any trouble is not necessarily. ”

After that, Wu Jiu glanced at Shen Chenchen vaguely, turned around and walked out.

Lin Xi was stunned.

The two treasures next to him also reacted and looked at Shen Chen worriedly.

"Shen Chen," Lin Xi grabbed Shen Chen's sleeve and asked, "What the hell is going on?" ”

Shen Chen took a slight breath, hesitated a little, and finally told Lin Xi: "Yang Shizhong only wants the list, and he didn't think about using it to do anything to those officials." And Yueqin's mother and daughter are Hu people, and they are not sure if they have done anything for Hu people, and whether they will pose a threat to Daqin; The second is already known about the list, maybe Yueqin has already read the list, once they leak out, it will cause turmoil in the court. ”

He looked at Lin Xi and said, "The current court has just stabilized, but the officials are all in their own factions, and the roots are deep, and they affect the whole body. If the list is known to outsiders, no matter which name is leaked, it will affect many officials, and it will be a huge blow...... For Daqin. ”

After all, if something really happens to those officials, there will be no one to use.

It is not known how long it will take to train new people.

It is also unimaginable how many will be affected.

This was in the carriage before, Shen Chen suddenly thought of it.

He actually knew that after Yang Shizhong got the list, he would definitely go to Beijing to secretly dedicate it to that person. And there are too many people involved in the list, and the person who will definitely not touch it in the short term, at least until the situation in the world is stable and he has enough manpower. So he just wrote down some names, and he was not in a hurry to do anything else, and he also planned to leave and go home with Lin Xi Erbao.

He also thought that Yueqin would die, but he never thought that Yang Shizhong would dispose of Yueqin's mother and daughter so quickly.

Yang Shizhong suddenly invited their family to the table, and he also thought about it for a long time before he figured out in the carriage that Yang Shizhong probably had received the will of the person to put the matter on the county, so he wanted to see him test his meaning to see if he would take revenge after knowing the officials involved in the case. At the same time, Wu Jiu was transferred to dispose of Yueqin's mother and daughter.

After listening to this, Lin Xi came back to his senses for a while, and said in a trembling voice: "Just ...... Because of this, because if you want to save those people, you have to kill Yueqin's mother and daughter?? ”

Shen Chen's heart shrank, held her hand, and said, "...... From Yang Shizhong's point of view, this is the best approach. Dispose of them here, and then there will be very few people who know the specific list. Messages that can hold the list. It is the consistent style of that person to kill a hundred by mistake rather than let go of a thousand. ”

"Daddy," Erbao suddenly spoke, looked at Shen Chen, and said slowly: "This world is not black and white, nor is it that bad people must have retribution, and good people may not die well, right?" ”

Shen Chen looked down at him.

He didn't want to teach Erbao this kind of truth when he was so young.

But Erbao has seen it with his own eyes.

He leaned down and squatted down, lowered his gaze to the level of Erbao, and said, "Sometimes, it's not about doing whatever you want. No matter what position you are in, there will be times when you can't help yourself, and you can't just look at the present, but also take care of the overall situation. ”

Erbao said: "But what if this body is involuntary and contradicts the merits? ”

Shen Chen touched his head and said, "Then ask yourself, is there any point in this body being involuntarily, what can be preserved to the greatest extent, is there no way to do what you want." ”

Erbao seems to understand but not understand.

Suddenly, he was calm, but he said word by word: "Dad, in the future, Erbao will be diligent and motivated, and will not let you, mother, eldest brother, Sanbao and Sibao have a time when they can't help themselves." If that is the case, it will only be the child who chooses to do it. ”

Shen Chen looked at him for a long time, raised his head and touched his head: "Dad believes in you." ”

Looking at this scene, Lin Xi was in a trance.

She staggered a step, "Shen Chen, you...... You take Erbao to the banquet, I want to go back to the inn. ”
