Lin Mengchu said with red eyes while eating: "I didn't want to elope, I know Li Qingxuan, but I didn't expect to elope with him on the wedding day, I got the news of my younger brother from my aunt, so I went out of the city, and I met Li Qingxuan when I went out of the city, and I also met this group of mountain bandits." ”

Xu looked at her quietly, her eyes were black.

"I swear, I don't mean to destroy the reputation of the Xie family, I am also a young lady of the family, how can I not understand the importance of the family's reputation?"

Lin Mengchu was afraid that Xu would not believe it, and continued to add: "It was my aunt who came to me with my brother's token, if it wasn't for worrying about my brother, I wouldn't have left." ”

Xu was shocked to think that when he went to Lin Mengchu's house to pick up Lin Mengchu, he did meet Lin Mengchu's aunt Lu, and Lu said at the first glance that Lin Mengchu eloped with someone, and he didn't cover it up at all, and he wanted to publicize it, if it wasn't for Brother Xie to suppress this matter, it should be Lin Mengchu's elopement in the capital now.

Even if Lin Mengchu returned to the capital, he would be drowned by everyone's spit.

And it's not that he doesn't understand the pickled things in the house, among those big families, those people don't have any family dirty things?

He muttered, "You are at odds with your aunt? ”

"She has always disliked me, and she is also jealous of my marriage with the eldest son of the Xie family, she wants my cousin to marry the eldest son, and she asked me to withdraw from the marriage before, but I didn't agree."

Lin Mengchu raised his head suddenly, and his eyes met Xu Jing's dark pupils: "I know that my aunt framed me, and I also caused trouble to the eldest son of the Xie family, I can't argue with this, I will go to the Xie family to apologize, no matter what the result is, I will bear it." ”

Although Xu Jingzheng was angry with Lin Mengchu's escape from marriage, he saw that Lin Mengchu had a good attitude in admitting his mistakes, and no matter how angry he was, he was half gone, although he still had a skeptical attitude towards Lin Mengchu's words, but these didn't matter, and he could find someone to investigate when he returned to the capital.

If Lin Mengchu didn't lie to him, he didn't mind doing Lin Mengchu a favor, and if Lin Mengchu lied to him, then don't blame him.

Thinking of this, Xu snorted coldly: "You want to find someone, why don't you want the Xie family to help you?" Isn't it very simple for the Xie family to help you find someone? Thinking that a stupid person like you deserves to be designed. ”

Xu said in surprise as he untied the cloak on his body and threw it on Lin Mengchu's head: "I said that the Xie family is not an unreasonable family. When I returned to the capital, I found out the reason for the matter, and I would settle accounts with whoever I should find. ”

Lin Mengchu looked at the young man's childishness, although his temper was a little worse, but his love was clear, and his heart became much warmer unconsciously, and now he seems to be a child, and what did he go through in his previous life to become indifferent and bloodthirsty?

Lin Mengchu tugged at his cloak and pondered.

"You also pack yourself, we will be on our way later, but send these miscellaneous pieces to the government first."

Xu said in surprise.

Lin Mengchu looked at the fire in front of him and had a lot of thoughts.

In his previous life, he was really a fool, he would believe Li Qingxuan's words, thinking that the Xie family was a tiger's den in Longtan and would eat people, so he actually chose Li Qingxuan, a wolf-hearted guy.

The rain continued to fall outside and did not stop until the morning.

The ground was muddy, and the air smelled of dirt as it had just sunny.

Xu Jingzhen tied up those thieves with a rope, tied one by one, and led Lin Mengchu to the official mansion down the mountain.

After waiting for these thieves to be handed over to the government, Xu Jingzhen took Lin Mengchu to find a carriage and led her back to Beijing.

The young man's face was still not good-looking, and his mouth was already very poisonous, but his attitude was much better than when he first saw him.

Lin Mengchu looked at the young man beside her, with a lot of thoughts in her heart, and at this moment, she suddenly felt a touch of warmth in her palm.

She looked down and saw that it was a small stove, Lin Mengchu's eyes widened and she looked surprised.

"See what?" Xu Jingzhen continued: "It's still far from the capital, if you are sick, it will delay my trip." Hurry up and get in the car, we're ready to go. ”

After saying that, the young man took the horsewhip and stepped onto the wheel, and the cloak on his back rolled up the corners of his clothes as he walked.

Lin Mengchu looked at the young man's upright back, a smile hooked up at the corner of his mouth, and he felt warm in his heart while holding the stove in his hand.

The people of the Xie family are really nice and good.

It's a pity that they didn't die well in the previous life, and this teenager eventually became bloodthirsty.

She remembered that at this time in her last life, it was also the day he left the capital, a war report came from the capital, and the Xie family was ordered to go to the battlefield in danger.

And in that battle, none of the Xie family's expeditions came back, the Xie family's sons died on the battlefield, and their Xie family didn't know why they were accused of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, the female dependents were official prostitutes, and the men were hanged.

That night, the Xie family was shrouded in blood.

Lin Mengchu closed his eyes and carefully recalled everything that happened to the Xie family in his previous life.

The twists and turns in the Xie family didn't know what was going on in her family, because she had already left the capital to be with Li Qingxuan at that time, and she was in a quagmire at that time, so how could she inquire about the affairs of the capital?

But when she and Li Qingxuan came to the capital, they also heard some rumors in the exchange of ladies in the capital.

The Xie family is a bureau made by King Yu and the prime minister, in order to frame the Xie family and take away the military power.

Lin Mengchu thought carefully, if it was just like this, it would be impossible for Xu Jingzhen to slaughter the royal family when he returned to the capital, and Xu Jingzhen's actions showed that the Xie family's bloody case was indirectly led by the emperor.

After the murder, King Yu and Prime Minister stepped on the blood of the Xie family and walked to the peak of power.

Lin Mengchu opened her eyes suddenly, she wanted to mention it vaguely to Xu Jingzhen, so that the people of the Xie family in the capital could be prepared, and it could be regarded as her guilt.

Just as she was about to speak, their vehicle was suddenly stopped.

Lin Mengchu opened the curtain and saw the person opposite.

I saw that there were officers and soldiers standing on the opposite side, and they quickly surrounded them with bows and arrows in hand.

Seeing this, Xu Jing's eyelids drooped, and he wanted to stuff Lin Mengchu back into the carriage with one hand, and clenched the sword in his hand with the other.

"What are you doing here?"

Xu Jingzhen looked at the person in front of him and said coldly.

He didn't do anything because he could see that the person in front of him was the guards of the capital.

"We are the guards of the capital, and we are ordered to arrest the people of the Xie family."

A man in armor said in a deep voice.

"Why did you arrest the Xie family?"

Hearing this, Xu Jingzhen held the hilt of the sword tightly in his hand.

"You can't be impersonating, are you?"

"Xu Gongzi, you said that we are impersonating, you can't not know this thing."

As he spoke, the man pulled out a token.

The moment Xu Jingzhen saw the token, his eyes were full of surprise.

It was a symbol of the Emperor's Guard, who was ordered by the Emperor to arrest those who rebelled.

"What the hell is going on?"

Xu muttered.

"Xu Gongzi has been away from the capital for many days, and I don't know what happened in the capital."

The visitor looked stunned, and continued: "The Xie family collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country, and we were ordered to arrest the Xie family for investigation. ”

"What! No way, Uncle Xie. How could he have betrayed the country? ”

Xu was stunned, his eyes cracked, and his hand clenched the hilt of his sword.

"Xie Jin has died in South Vietnam, we will be ordered to arrest him, and please don't embarrass us."

After speaking, he motioned to his subordinates to arrest Xu Jingjing.

How could Xu Jingzhen be caught with his hands tied? He just wanted to make a move, but was stopped by Lin Mengchu.

"Lin Mengchu! Get out of the way! ”

"Listen to me." Lin Mengchu stopped Xu Jingzhen and said in Xu Jingzhen's ear: "You can't do it, once you do it, you will be guilty of General Xie's crime, and the Xie family in the capital will also suffer or even die because of your behavior." ”

After listening to Lin Mengchu's words, Xu Jingzhen's movements froze.

The sword in his hand fell to the ground.

When the guards saw that Xu Jingzhen had stopped resisting, they immediately stepped forward and wanted to tie Xu Jingzhen up.

Xu Jingzhen looked up at Lin Mengchu and said, "I don't believe that Uncle Xie will collaborate with the enemy and commit treason. ”

"I also believe it, but you are the righteous son of the Xie family, your every move represents the Xie family, you can't do it, not to mention that you can't beat these people, think about the daughters of the Xie family, what do you want them to do? Even if you kill them, what will happen to the ladies in the capital? ”

Xu Jingzhen's face was pale, and his mouth opened and closed, and finally he didn't say a word.

Because he knew that it was impossible for the daughters of the Xie family to live, and even if they did, they would become official prostitutes.

"Xu Jingzhen, listen, I owe the Xie family, I will definitely help you, but don't be impulsive."

"Why should I believe you?"

Xu Jingjing's eyes were red.

Lin Mengchu caught a glimpse of those people approaching them, and said eagerly: "You can only trust me now, you believe me, I promise you in the name of my father that I will do my best to protect the Xie family." ”

She must not ask Xu Jingzhen to make a move, once he does it, he will be shot by the officers and soldiers in front of him, these people are the people of King Yu, and he didn't think about Xu Jingzhen going back alive.

Because in her previous life, she heard Li Qingxuan, who was already on the rise at that time, say that one of the reasons why King Yu became the king of power was because of his merit in capturing the Xie family, and he was rewarded for killing the traitors of the Xie family.

Therefore, she can't ask Xu to do it.

"Xu Jingjing, you believe me."

Xu Jingzhen listened to the words of the person in front of him, looked at Lin Mengchu's eyes carefully, and saw that the girl's eyes were full of openness, he might be able to believe it.

I saw that Xu Jingzhen suddenly stuffed a hard thing into Xu Jingzhen's hand.

"Lin Mengchu, I hope you didn't lie to me, Brother Xie has been waiting for you for many years, he has been protecting you, I hope you remember this kindness."

Xu Jingzhen tore Lin Mengchu who was holding him away, looked at the person close to him and continued: "You remember what you said, if you can't do it, I will definitely kill you." ”

Then he looked at the guards in front of him and said: "My Xie family will not collaborate with the enemy and betray the country, I Xu Jingzhen will follow you into Beijing to investigate, I believe in Your Majesty's Shengming, but I can return my Xie family's innocence." ”

The bow and arrow that the leader of the guard army was originally holding was ready to go, and he received an order from King Yu that once Xu Jingzhen disobeyed, he would shoot him immediately, and then kill the rest of the Xie family for the crime of rebellion.

But he didn't expect that Xu Jingjing, who was originally unruly, would obediently return to Beijing to investigate.

But he couldn't bring Xu Jingzheng back, so he pulled away his bow and arrow and aimed at Xu Jingjing.

Lin Mengchu saw his thoughts, and immediately stopped in front of Xu Jingzhen, and said in a loud voice: "The Xie family has been loyal to protect the country for a hundred years, and they have no intention of transgressing, they are loyal to the monarch and patriotic, and they will not cooperate with the enemy." ”

After she finished saying this, she turned around and glanced at Xu Jingzhen behind her, and continued: "Although Xu Jingzhen is not a member of the Xie family, he will not disobey the emperor's order, and he will go back with you to be investigated." ”

Xu Jing's words were originally heard by many people because of internal force, not to mention Lin Mengchu's voice was sharp.

Before the two sides could fight, Xu Jingzhen had already laid down his weapons, not to mention that they didn't believe that the Xie family would collaborate with the enemy and betray the country.

The guards lowered their weapons and looked at their leaders.

Seeing this, the leader of the guard army had no choice but to put down the weapon in his hand, looked at the person in front of him and said fiercely: "Xu Gongzi just cooperate, come and take the two of them away." ”

The leader of the Praetorian Guard put down the bow and arrow in his hand fiercely, and felt a burst of anger in his heart, he should have shot Xu Jingjing at the beginning, instead of talking to them, this is good, he has not completed the order of King Yu.

On the other side of the capital.
