However, the merchant girls had received Shen Ling's favor and did not believe what Lin Fengzhi said.

"Don't talk nonsense, how could the county lord be in league with the assassins, did he deliberately injure himself?"

"I don't believe what you say, I believe that the county lord is thinking about us."

"If we hadn't listened to the county lord's arrangement, we would have been in danger a long time ago, and everyone knows what happened to those who went out."

Everyone was talking about what had happened in the past, and they were talking about Shen Ling's arrangements, if Shen Ling and the assassin were a group, they only needed to use the simplest method, and everyone couldn't prevent it.

At this time, the nun was shining the lantern in her hand in the direction of Shen Ling, and when it shone here, someone screamed in shock.

"Ah! Dead man."

"Gao Xiuqin was killed."

"What the hell is going on!"

Several timid people suddenly hugged each other, and some people cast doubtful eyes on Shen Ling's body.

If the explanations just made sense to them, but here the facts are.

Concubine Mingyue's maid has always held a grudge against Shen Ling, and when she went to the mansion Shen Ling asked Meihua to beat her, the maid still remembered it in her heart, and now she finally has a chance to retaliate.

"I saw Lord Shen and Gao Xiuqin come out together!" Concubine Mingyue's maid suddenly shouted.

Xiao Qianqian saw that there was a chance to fall into the well, so she stood up without the slightest hesitation, and then said to everyone: "The county lord can't sleep on the ground, and I also saw it at that time, Shen Ling came out with Gao Xiuqin."

"The county lord is willing to be a witness, and the county lord is also willing to tell everyone another thing...... Xiao Qianqian said, telling the matter about Ganyu.

If Shen Ling was really kind-hearted, then her maid would not have died tragically.

"Now that the human evidence is here, and the physical evidence is here, there is no need to doubt it at all."

"We have all been deceived by Shen Ling's hypocritical appearance, Shen Ling is in the same group as the Assassins."

When everyone heard this, they immediately panicked, many people believed Xiao Qianqian's words, and some people had doubts in their eyes, but they unconsciously took two steps back, wanting to stay away from Shen Ling.

"What to do? Shen Ling and the assassins are in the same group, so wouldn't we be doomed."

"Her heart is so vicious! No wonder she asked everyone to come out together, now there are more people who come out, and more people die."

"Hurry up and find a way, you can't let Shen Ling harm all of us."

Hearing everyone's words, Xiao Qianqian lowered her head and showed a smug smile.

When she looked up again, her expression changed, and she deliberately pretended to be very angry.

"We must be responsible for our own lives, since Shen Ling is united with the assassins, we will arrest Shen Ling now, as long as we tie up Shen Ling, we can threaten the assassins with Shen Ling's life."

"If the assassins want our lives, we want Shen Ling to be in front, and as long as we have Shen Ling, we can all leave here safely."

Everyone heard Xiao Qianqian's demagogic words, if it was in the past, maybe someone would be on Shen Ling's side, but now these people are puzzled, and some people see the death of their sister, and now they are in heartbreak and grief, so for a while, few people are speaking for Shen Ling.

"Yes, tie Shen Ling up!"

"County Lord, if you are not in the same league as the Assassins, then you will be a little wronged for the time being!"

"Lord of the County, if you resist, it proves that you are in league with the Assassins, and you have ulterior motives for us!"

"Don't talk so much, hurry up and tie her up."

Someone already wanted to step forward, Xiao Qianqian saw this scene, and was still encouraging other people, and many people were all moved.

Everyone was about to make a move, but the secret guard couldn't help it, and immediately protected Shen Ling's body to show his attitude.

The dark guard drew his sword and stood in front of Shen Ling, "Stop! You are moving forward

One step, you're welcome."

If the secret guard hadn't made this move, maybe some people would have thought that Shen Ling had been wronged just now.

But now when everyone saw this scene, they were all stunned.

"Look at the murderer helping Shen Ling, the two of them are really together."

"The murderers have all stood to protect you, Shen Ling, what else do you have to say."

Shen Ling is speechless now, she knows that no matter what she says, these people will not believe her.

Even if there are a few people on their side, they will not be able to play a role in the face of the accusations of many people.

Shen Ling took a deep breath and said truthfully, "Gao Xiuqin came out with me, but when I opened the door of the thatched house, I didn't expect that there would be a hidden weapon."

"Originally, we could have dodged it, but the noble concubine suddenly appeared and pounced on the two of us, so we didn't dodge."

"You see my arm is injured too, I don't want to explain too much, if I am with the Assassins, will I get hurt? Will you let the Assassins deal with me?"

Xiao Qianqian didn't want other people to analyze Shen Ling's words, once someone recognized them, maybe things wouldn't go in the direction she thought

"Don't worry so much, now we can't listen to any side of the story, we can only think about our own safety."

Seeing that everyone didn't speak, Xiao Qianqian said again: "As long as Shen Ling is tied up, our safety can be improved, don't be deceived by her lies."

Everyone nodded when they heard this, whether they wronged Shen Ling or not, that is a matter to be judged later, and it is important to save their lives now.

As long as Shen Ling was tied up, they could use Shen Ling to threaten the assassins, even if they couldn't, they couldn't let Shen Ling have the opportunity to unite with the assassins and calculate their chances again.

Lin Fengzhi couldn't hide the smugness in his eyes when he heard everyone's discussions, but when he looked up, Lin Fengzhi's expression returned to normal.

"There's something that this palace has known for a long time, and now I have to say it."

As soon as these words came out, they immediately attracted everyone's attention, and everyone's eyes fell on Lin Fengzhi.

Feeling everyone's sight, Lin Fengzhi's eyes flashed a touch of cruelty, she wants to tell the truth and make today Shen Ling's death day!

"The assassins were first discovered from Shen Ling's room, and only for Shen Ling alone, the reason why we can't leave this mountain is because Shen Ling's enemies blocked the entire mountain in order to kill Shen Ling, so the assassins didn't want our lives at all, and their target was only Shen Ling from beginning to end."
