Chapter Ninety-Nine: Shadow Fall (23)

A day ago, the moon was bright and the stars were scarce, there were black geese flying south, and the lights of Bailing Mountain were dim, and there was no shadow of it.

"I still don't understand......"

Chang Yinglan hugged her legs and sat on the bed with a bitter face, her young face did not have any scars of time, the clean moonlight made her skin look delicate and shiny, Xiao Lan's whole body was faintly blue light on her face, and her face could also be obviously plain white.

"Don't understand what?"

Xiaolan smoothed her black hair again and again, it was late at night, and she was going to sleep after all, but Chang Yinglan was upset because of the day's affairs and refused to sleep for a long time, and she could only help her straighten her hair.

Even though she enjoys it.

With such beautiful hair, no one could resist touching it, including fish.

"I don't understand, why is that guy named Ning Ji, he is so ...... Care about me......"

Chang Yinglan's voice was very soft, and she spoke eloquently, like singing.

"I could feel that he cared about me...... It's weird...... I feel...... It's kind of weird...... But I can't put into words how it feels...... It's like...... There are ants crawling over my heart...... Tickle ...... Makes me irritable...... It's inexplicably anxious...... Makes me want to ask why he cares about me......"

Chang Yinglan couldn't describe her feelings.

She didn't know what love at first sight was, and it was impossible to fall in love with a little boy at first sight, and there was no physical reason for her to feel that Ning Ji was different.

"I'm going to find Brother Xiuyuan, I can't stay here for too long!"

She slammed to her feet. But Xiaolan pressed her head again.

"Oops! It's so late...... Where are you going? Either way, we'll have to talk about it tomorrow! As a human being, you are still growing your body, and you must rest! ”

Xiao Lan will not tell her to run around.

She looked at Chang Yinglan's sad eyes, and also pouted, "What is there to think...... That kid is too attentive to you, there must be a ghost for a reason! You'll have to guard against him! ”

She is like a best friend in Changyinglan's deep boudoir compound, always thinking about her good coming.

"Really...... During the day today, if it weren't for that Chu Yue nagging him, it is estimated that he would have nagged you a long time ago! ”

Chang Yinglan was not enlightened, and her incomprehension did not dissipate, but she could only be held down by Xiaolan, not knowing how to answer.

In her mouth, she could only say two words.

"But ......"

Outside the window, there are tiny owls chirping.

"There's nothing to be ...... All right! Sleep well now! When the sun rises tomorrow, we can get out of here! ”

Xiaolan seemed to be confident that they would leave, but in fact, they could not leave in the first place. This made Chang Yinglan even more anxious.

At this time, she may have thousands of reasons in her mind, and what she is facing is indeed only the light of the luminous spar lamp and a thin bed for outsiders to sleep on.

The empty room was a little deserted, as if her back was swishing as soon as a cold wind passed.

She had to grab the quilt again and cover her. Xiaolan was buried in the quilt with a bang.

"We probably won't be able to do without it tomorrow...... Listening to that man, it seems that we have committed some kind of great crime and need to be put in the harshest cell......"

Throughout the day, Ning Ji told Chang Yinglan as if she was crazy that if she wasn't honest, she would soon be taken to the Tongtian Viper Prison, where the horror was immeasurable.

In order not to be locked up there, Chang Yinglan must stay here quietly, not going anywhere, and doing nothing.

However, it is just too much......

This is a situation that should not exist......

"That's all that bad guy scaring you!"

Xiaolan disagreed.

"......"

"Nothing but ......"

Xiaolan spread his hands indifferently: "Think about it, we haven't done anything from yesterday to now...... They haven't even been out of the door, and if they want to check us, they can't charge us with doing nothing, right? ”

Xiaolan flew into the air disdainfully, and said sternly: "There is no such logic at all, I know that your human logic is very strange, but to be honest, we are not afraid of shadows and shadows, we are not afraid of them at all, the clearer we check, the more we can prove our innocence, don't you say?"

Her logic is clear and she has a special self-confidence.

This self-confidence comes from a kind of innocence, and also from her own ruthlessness as a spirit animal.

"That's right......

Chang Yinglan is the daughter of the city lord, and she doesn't see many unjust, false and wrongful cases, but the thing that I remember the most is from a very simple thing.

A wealthy merchant wanted to occupy a peasant's land, so he wantonly destroyed the peasant's farm, and sued the peasant for stealing his rice in a very bad form, and when he was discovered, he was so angry that he destroyed the rich merchant's rice in his own field.

The lord of the castle did not immediately determine who was right and who was wrong, but first imprisoned the defendant, that is, he was the first to arrest the peasants, and then let the rich merchants appear in court to identify whether the rice destroyed by the peasants was his own.

The rich merchant insisted that it belonged to his own family, and during the trial he began to cry, cursing the peasants while picking up the rice and weeping.

The lord of the city convicted the peasants of stealing and destroying rice, and needed to return all the stolen rice and destroyed rice to the rich merchants, and also needed to compensate the rich merchants for their expenses and put them in a prison cell for half a month.

In the end, the rich merchant not only got the money for the rice, but also the whole land. The unfortunate farmer had lost his land and rice, his family was ruined, and his wife was separated.

It's just because her father, who is the lord of the city, received a lot of money from a wealthy merchant.

A wealthy businessman will naturally have the support of a force like her father.

She knew this only because her mother had passed by the rich merchant's field, and her mother had carefully told her how the rich merchant had owned it.

Her mother kindly warned her to be careful of this person and not to be coveted by her or show undeserved emotions.

More importantly, in this field, follow the mother closely.

Now the situation is very similar to what her mother said, and she will definitely not want to talk about it again for the rest of her life, because it is scary to think about it.

is obviously innocent, but she will end up in prison.

It's not bad.

If Ning Ji, or someone who managed the Heavenly Viper Prison, took money from others like her city lord father, and wanted to throw her into prison, then she would have to be shrouded in the shadow of a lifetime.

Such a thing sounded ridiculous, but the rich merchant always knew his innocence better than the peasant.

Then it was very real.

The unjust, false and wrongly decided case will be made.

It seems that it is only natural that the family is ruined, not the teller, but the defendant.

But the truth is terrifying.

Chang Yinglan's fear made her feet cold, and she couldn't convey it to Xiaolan, so she could only lie in the bed, her eyes wide open, upset, and insomnia.
