Seeing this, Lin Yan habitually stepped back, after all, he didn't want to kill people easily.

But at this moment, Wei Meng's closed eyes suddenly opened, and the scarlet color flashed, and then, he took out a small knife from his arms, and then slammed into Lin Yan's chest with the knife.

Lin Yan was about to fight back, after all, with his caution, he had been guarding Wei Meng, so his sneak attack was not at all unexpected by Lin Yan.

"Stop!"

With a shout, an old woman rushed into the rain in despair, and Wei Meng's knife-holding hand paused because of this sound, and the tip of the knife with a cold light stopped in front of Lin Yan.

Wei Meng looked back, only to see that the old woman had come to him, the old hand caught his hand holding the knife, and then slowly pressed down, and his voice choked up: "Meng'er, let go, you can't be wrong again and again!"

Wei Meng looked at the old mother's tearful persuasion, the scarlet color in his eyes gradually faded, and then sighed helplessly, and said, "Mother! Why are you suffering? That's it, it's up to you! ”

After saying that, as soon as he let go of his hand, the knife fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

Then the old woman suddenly turned around and knelt down in front of Lin Yan, and said: "Shaoxia, I don't beg you to let him go, I just beg you not to arrest him now, our mother and son haven't seen each other for many years, can you let him for a few days, I will cook him some favorite home-cooked food, in the future, he may never be able to eat again......"

Then, she turned back to Wei Meng and said, "Meng'er, don't be afraid, your mother will accompany you when you leave, and she won't let you be lonely!"

Looking at the scene in front of him, he couldn't fix Lin Yan.

After all, if Wei Meng continued to attack before, he would be able to kill the other party justifiably without any psychological burden.

But the current situation has developed like this, making Lin Yan seem to be the bad guy, what should I do now?

Just when Lin Yan had a headache, the door of the west wing behind him opened, and then, Mingya and Xue Nishang walked out of it one after another.

Lin Yan asked, "Are you awake?"

Mingya straightened her chest and said, "Of course, we have already found out!"

Only then did Lin Yan know that the two girls had been pretending to be asleep, this was fishing?

In fact, if you think about it carefully, they are not useless vases, with the shrewdness of the two women, how can they not feel the abnormality here, the reason why they are not broken is that they want to "plan the plan" and fish out the people behind the scenes.

Who knew that Lin Yan came, and directly forced Wei Meng out, and also subdued him, which made the two girls have no room to express in an instant.

But Ming Ya is still very happy at the moment, seeing Lin Yan coming in the rain so nervously, it seems that her position in his heart is still quite important!

Lin Yan looked at the two girls and smiled bitterly: "In other words, you have been watching me fight in the house, and you still don't help?"

Ming Yaqiao's face flushed, and she muttered, "It's not that people believe in your strength!"

Xue Nishang on the side also said in a round field: "Yes, yes, even Baishan can't beat you, and we shouldn't need to interfere in the early stage of a mere Tongmai realm, right?"

When Lin Yan heard this, he was powerless to refute it, it was indeed not a big problem to deal with a Wei Meng.

Although these death row inmates are very bloody and ruthless, Lin Yan is not a flower in a greenhouse, and he has experienced many life and death tests, so he will naturally not be frightened.

And with his ability to leapfrog the challenge, it is not easy to take down a Wei Meng, so there is no need for Mingya and them to worry too much.

Now that the death row prisoner has been captured, what to do with him next is a question.

Originally, they should have taken him back according to what Li Jiaoxi said or went back directly with his head, so that even if they had completed the task, at the current point in time, Bao Buqi was the first to complete the task!

However, looking at the scene just now, and the old woman who knelt down and pleaded in the rain, Lin Yan's heart softened!

No matter what Wei Meng did, at least his family was innocent, and it was not impossible for him to accompany his mother to say his final goodbye.

Lin Yan is not a hard-hearted person, so he is shaken at this moment!

Immediately, he set his eyes on Ming Ya and Xue Nishang on the side, wanting to seek their opinions.

The two girls glanced at each other, and then Xue Nishang said, "Lin Yan, why don't you let him accompany your mother, anyway, we still have time." And, with the two of us watching here, he can't run away! ”

Indeed, either of the two women can fight him, and with the combination, it is still possible to deal with one Wei Meng, even if the combat experience is lacking, it is enough to make up for it.

Since this is the case, Lin Yan agreed to her, and then reached out to help the old woman on the ground up, and walked towards the hall.

Wei Meng got up and followed, supporting the old woman on the other side, while Mingya and Xue Nishang also walked in.

After helping the old woman to sit down, Lin Yan thought about the words she had just heard, hesitated and looked at Wei Meng and asked, "Since you are a death row prisoner, do you have many lives on your hands?"

Wei Meng originally turned his head and didn't want to talk to Lin Yan, but for his mother's sake, he still replied, "Yes!"

Lin Yan continued: "Then what's wrong with us arresting you back?"

Hearing this, Wei Meng sneered: "I killed people, and there is more than one, but I am not wrong, because those people deserve to die!"

Looking at Wei Meng's hateful gaze, combined with the words he heard before, such as "the court harmed him" and "the family was ruined", Lin Yan guessed that there should be something else hidden in this matter!

Xue Nishang on the side asked, "If you have a grievance, why don't you report it to the official?" Datang has a law, and it is not right to kill people wantonly after all! ”

Wei Meng pursed his lips disdainfully and said mockingly, "Law? It's just a tool of the higher-ups, and if the law has won us civilians, can it restrain those who are in charge? Officials protect each other, where do we, the people at the bottom, go to redress their grievances? ”

Xue Nishang frowned when she heard this, and did not agree with Wei Meng's words, the army of the Tang State was strong, and the laws were even stricter, under the rule of Tang Tianzi, the country and the people were safe, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, how could there be such a thing?

But Lin Yan believed Wei Meng's words a little at the moment, after all, he and Xue Nishang were in a different class.

He is also a commoner, similar to Wei Meng's identity, so he can observe some things from the perspective of a low-level person. The legal system in Datang is strict, and the country is prosperous, which is not false at all!

But don't forget, where there's light, there's shadow!

Tang Tianzi is only one person after all, he can't do everything himself, such a big Tang country, still has to rely on those big and small officials to govern, and the officialdom is intertwined, there are always some moths in the name of the Son of Heaven to oppress the people and eat the foundation of this country.

They can't see Tang Tianzi, and they can't pass on the voice of the people, so they will be even more unscrupulous, especially in places far away from Chang'an City, after all, "the emperor is far away", in the jurisdiction, they are worthy of the name "Emperor of the Earth"!

And these Xue Nishang didn't know, because she was the daughter of General Yunlu, her identity had saved her most of the troubles, and the girl who lived in the world of light couldn't see the darkness in her eyes!

Lin Yan looked at Wei Meng's eyes and said seriously: "Are you willing to talk about your experience, perhaps, we can help you!"

Wei Meng stared straight at Lin Yan, trying to see something else in his eyes, but he was disappointed, Lin Yan's eyes were very pure, he really wanted to help himself.

Wei Meng sighed and said, "You wait for me, I'll help my mother to the house to rest first!"

Lin Yan nodded, and then Wei Meng helped the old woman into the back room.

Xue Nishang frowned at Wei Meng's departing figure, looked at Lin Yan and asked, "Lin Yan, do you really believe what a death row prisoner said?" He probably made it up to get away with it! ”

Lin Yan shook his head and said, "No, even no matter how shameless a person is, he will not lie in front of his mother, let's wait for him to come back and see what he says!"

Xue Nishang could only nod when she heard this, and Mingya was not a Tang person, and she didn't know much about this kind of thing, so she just didn't speak quietly, she believed that Lin Yan would solve it.

After a while, Wei Meng settled his mother and walked out again.

He glanced at Lin Yan and said, "My mother, I admit your love!" Anyway, I will nag you about the past, and whether you believe it or not is up to you to judge! ”

As he spoke, he also glanced at Xue Nisheng's place a few times, intentionally or unintentionally, and that look seemed to be laughing at her simple ignorance, which made the latter a little angry.

Wei Meng cleared his throat, sorted out his thoughts a little, and said: "Things started two years ago, when it was close to the end of the year, my wife and I went to Chang'an to sell some hunted animal skins or something, and exchanged some New Year's goods by the way, but disaster also followed......

He paused and continued: "Originally, we planned to go home here, after all, the prosperous Chang'an is incompatible with poor people like us. However, just in time for the market in the city, thinking that his wife was working at home and did not have any decent jewelry, he took her around. ”

"Who knows, I met a few rich boys, they saw that my lady was beautiful, so they stepped forward to tease, fortunately, with me by my side, and there were many people around, they didn't dare to go too far, so they retreated."

"However, just when I relaxed my vigilance to pick out jewelry, my wife next to me disappeared, and I held the bead flower in my hand and was stunned."

Then Wei Meng suddenly held his head and said with a painful expression: "I was looking in the city like crazy, but I am not familiar with the place, and there is no news at all. Fortunately, I met a fellow countryman, and with his help, I inquired in many ways, and learned that the son-in-law brother who was the leader that day was the only son of King Yejun - Li Qiming! ”

"I ran to the county king's mansion and asked them for a wife, but they didn't recognize me at all, and let the masters of the mansion beat me badly, but I didn't give up, and went for several days in a row. Maybe I was annoyed, but finally on the sixth day, the family who opened the door threw me a bag of silver, and then coldly told me that if I wanted to find my wife, I would go to the mass grave in the north of the city, and don't come to entangle me in the future! ”

"When I heard this, I rushed out of the city, and ran madly to the mass grave in the north of the city, praying in my heart that my wife would be fine, but ......" Wei Meng smiled sadly, and continued: "I am too naïve! How could it be! ”

"When I arrived, I saw the remains of my unadult-looking wife, who had been gnawed by wild dogs, and she had been thrown like garbage in the corpse, so unclothed that I would hardly have recognized her if it weren't for the coarse cloth clothes on my body!"

I took the bead flower out of my arms, put it on her head gently, and then hugged her corpse and cried. Why? What are we doing wrong? Why is this happening to us? ”

"He still has a two-month-old child in his belly, and we should be living happily ever after, but now I'm all gone!"

Wei Meng raised his head suddenly, his eyes were already red as blood, he clenched his fists, gritted his teeth and said, "From that day on, I swore that I would make those people pay!" Blood debt...... Must be paid in blood! ”
