The second daughter of Wang Congyan, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, attempted to assassinate Princess Changning, was shaved and wore a prison uniform with the words 'shameless' written on it, and threw it to the guillotine in the center of the vegetable market to show the public.

It is rare for such a major event to happen in the imperial city, and as soon as the news came out, it attracted countless people to watch.

If it weren't for the soldiers who were full of murderous spirits to separate themselves from a distance, the bustling crowd would have trampled on the surrounding area of the vegetable market a long time ago.

The little maid, who was lucky not to be asked to change into prison clothes, lowered her head and dodged and knelt behind Wang Qianzi, whose hands were tied behind her back, and she couldn't wait to burrow her head into the mud so that no one could see it.

The Wang family began all kinds of chaos after Wang Cong fainted and was sent back to the house, and now a few days have passed, Wang Cong has not seen well, Mrs. Wang and several aunts almost cried blind, and in the end even complained to each other and fought again.

The eldest lady Wang Yanhong originally took care of Wang Qianzi, but since she came to Guan Lin Houfu two days ago to withdraw from her relatives and clear up the relationship with her, she also hated her own sister with the same father and mother.

When he heard that she was escorted to the streets, he just snorted coldly, scolded that he couldn't live for his own sin, and locked himself in the room and ignored it.

After all, it was the meat that fell from her body, and Mrs. Wang originally called someone to take Wang Qianzi back. Unexpectedly, Aunt Zhu was a chess player higher than her, so she sued Wang Cong, who was still lying on the bed, without waiting for anyone to send it out.

Wang Cong was drinking medicine under the service of another beautiful concubine, and when he heard this, his eyes were dumbfounded, and he overturned the medicine bowl, blushing and yelling, "Let her fend for herself!" My Wang family doesn't have this kind of daughter! If anyone dares to take her back, he will roll outside with her, and he will not be allowed to set foot in the gate of my royal house from now on!" ”

As soon as these words came out, Mrs. Wang immediately cried and fell to the ground, but she finally didn't dare to mention this topic again.

Wang Qianzi found that after she was shaved bald, she hit the ground several times like crazy and wanted to kill herself, but her hands were locked and her body was fixed, no matter how she struggled, she couldn't escape, so she could only kneel on the gloomy guillotine and enjoy the onlookers and ridicule of everyone.

At this time, she really regretted it, and regretted why she provoked Jiang Fenghao and He Xiaoqiao in the first place. She just didn't want to be snatched away what should have belonged to her, but she didn't want to hurt others. She didn't know why she suddenly had the idea of killing Princess Changning at that time, she just wanted to scare her, she really didn't expect to kill her!

"I was wronged! I was wronged! ……”

Tears kept falling all the time, Wang Qianzi knelt on the guillotine, muttering and repeating in his mouth, looking at the appearance of everyone pointing at him, his heart was desperate.

Don't even my father and mother want to save her anymore?

The sun is getting bigger and bigger, and the number of people in the bazaar is increasing.

After all, he had just recovered from a serious illness, and he had been kneeling here for a long time, Wang Qianzi struggled in vain for a while, not only did he not escape, but he made himself dizzy.

The little maid behind her didn't dare to run away, let alone go up to help her, but just knelt on her knees and didn't move, occasionally secretly raising her head to look at the audience, praying that the crowd would disperse quickly.

Perhaps it was because of her prayers, or maybe everyone had seen it and had enjoyed it, but by the time the market was gone, the crowd had finally halved, and no one was playing with them with stone cabbage and rotten eggs as before.

The little maid breathed a sigh of relief, thinking about leaving the capital in the evening when there were fewer people, and escaping as far away as possible.

Anyway, if this kind of thing happens, the Wang family will definitely not be able to go back, it's a big deal for her to run away, go to the countryside to find someone to marry, and live a good life.

Just thinking about it, his eyes looked down the stage again, but he unexpectedly met a pair of excited eyes.

It was a very thin man dressed in a dark brown short shirt and a hat on his head. Sensing that someone was watching him, the man immediately turned his head and looked at the little maid, with a malicious smile on the corner of his mouth.

The little maid felt in a trance that she seemed to have seen this person somewhere, and only remembered it when her mind was clearer—it turned out that this person was like the mother-in-law who had gotten into their carriage to sell strange hair flowers to the young lady before.

Out of fear instinct, the little maid didn't dare to look at him anymore, shrunk her neck, and hid herself behind Wang Qianzi again.

Seeing this, the smile on the face of the man below became even bigger, and he calmly pulled the hat down with his hand, and after blocking most of his face, he turned around and wanted to leave.

But he didn't want to be upstairs not far away, Leng Qianshan and the others had been paying attention to him.

Seeing that he turned around and wanted to leave, Leng Qianshan's paralyzed face had no expression, but mockery was clearly written in his eyes. He took the small bow and crossbow handed over by his subordinates, put it on his arm, and pulled the trigger twice in succession.

There were only two booms, and two improved crossbow arrows rushed out with lightning speed—

The man in the hat heard the sound and wanted to dodge it too late, but in the blink of an eye, the two crossbow arrows had already hit his leg socket with a sharp cracking sound. The tip of the arrow pierced through the flesh and burrowed straight out of the knee, bringing out a long stream of blood.

"Ahh The man screamed and fell, and when his knees hit the ground, he let out another cry of pain, sweating profusely, lying on his side holding his legs and wailing, "My feet, my feet ......"

"Murdered!"

I don't know who shouted hoarsely, and the onlookers immediately squeezed to the left and right sides of the street like Moses dividing the sea, looking for a place to block themselves, fearing that they would be implicated in the next second and become a porcupine.

Leng Qianshan, who was standing on the opposite floor, still didn't have the slightest expression, put away his bow and crossbow, and commanded in a low voice, "Take the person back." ”

Immediately, someone flew downstairs, stepped forward and removed the man's chin to prevent him from committing suicide, and then tied his hands behind his back and shoved him into a rudimentary carriage and took him away.

All this was done in an instant, and by the time everyone at the scene came to their senses, the carriage had already run away like a gust of wind, and there were only two stalls of blood on the ground that had not yet dried up.

The scene was lively again, but this time the topic was obviously not aimed at Wang Qianzi and the Wang family, but on the incident of hurting and kidnapping people on the street just now.

After Leng Qianshan also left, the window on the second floor of a restaurant diagonally opposite the vegetable market was pushed open, revealing Shangguan Xinghe's gloomy and handsome face with anger.

"Uncle, you asked me to come here, shouldn't I be here to watch the excitement?"

The man sitting opposite him was wearing a jade crown and a white robe, and his voice was clear and slightly hoarse, but it was Shangguan Yun, who had not appeared for a long time because of his illness.

It seemed that he hadn't spoken for too long, and as soon as he said two words, his throat itched, and he coughed a few times before he felt better.

"It's just a passing to see the excitement." Shangguan Xinghe responded, seeing that his face was red from coughing, his eyebrows were twisted, and he reached out and pulled the window in, leaving only a small breathable slit, "But you feel cold?" Drink plenty of hot tea...... The doctor said that you have been lying in bed for too long and need to move around more to get better quickly. ”

"How good is it going?" Shangguan Yun snorted mockingly, pushed away the hot tea sent by his subordinates, and poured himself a glass of warm wine, "It's already like this, no matter how much you do, it's just delaying time." In other words, he's just barely catching his breath right now.

As soon as he heard his words, which were tantamount to self-abandonment, Shangguan Xinghe couldn't help but be angry, and wanted to scold him to cheer him up, but after seeing his haggard face, they all turned into sighs, "Uncle knows that you have a grudge in your heart......"

"There is no resentment in my nephew's heart." Shangguan Yun's face was cold, and he didn't seem to want to continue the topic.

Shangguan Xinghe paused, raised his head and took a sip of wine, and said to himself, "...... Then don't you have one. Uncle has found the whereabouts of the ghost doctor, and as long as he helps, your illness will definitely be cured. ”

A glimmer of light flashed in Shangguan Yun's eyes, but then it dimmed again, "Ghost doctor? If my nephew remembers correctly, he has no precedent for curing an over-head illness, right? ”

"That's because someone else didn't give him a chance!" Shangguan Xinghe snatched the words, his expression was a little excited, "He can even save the dead, how can it be a small head disease?" ”

"The flesh and bones of the living dead in legends may not be true." He has seen a lot of false rumors.

"Since it's an opportunity, it's time to give it a try." Shangguan Xinghe frowned, his face sank again, "You should know that your mother ...... her"

Shangguan Yun cut off his words with a cold face, "If my uncle can stop talking about my mother all the time, I believe I will be very happy to be able to go out with my uncle today." ”

There was a flash of anger in Shangguan Xinghe's eyes, but he quickly took a deep breath and pressed it down, "Okay, then don't mention it...... But you have to promise your uncle that when you find a ghost doctor, you must not refuse treatment. ”

"Let's wait until my uncle can really find someone." Shangguan Yun was not interested, and coldly picked up the wine glass and drank it all.

Before Shangguan Xinghe could speak, someone suddenly knocked on the door twice, and the guards guarding behind the two of them flashed to the door almost immediately, waiting to cut off the heads of any intruders.

Shangguan Yun frowned, stretched out his hand and motioned for him to retreat, "Who is outside the door?" ”

"It's small." The voice of the shopkeeper came faintly through the door panel, "Two guest officers, someone downstairs asked Xiao Xiao to bring a message, saying that he invited the young man to go downstairs and tell him something important." ”

The three people in the room all had doubts on their faces, and this time they didn't wait for Shangguan Yun to speak, Shangguan Xinghe asked first, "What is the identity of that person?" ”

"I don't know if it's small, but looking at the decoration, it looks like a guard in a courtyard." The shopkeeper said, "That little brother said that as long as the guest officer goes down, he will naturally understand when he sees him." ”

Shangguan Yun glanced at Shangguan Xinghe, thought about it, or put down the cup and stood up, "That's the case, then the uncle will sit first, and the nephew will come when he sees it." ”

"Let Kean go with you." Shangguan Xinghe glanced at the guards guarding the door.

Shangguan Yun was noncommittal, opened the door and went downstairs with the shopkeeper, and the guard named Ke'an immediately followed.
