Chapter 15 Invitation

Xiting subconsciously moved his gaze to Zhao Shuo, wanting to see how he would react.

But Zhao Shuo stood there with his hands in his hands, but he just lowered his eyes slightly and looked at the old man kneeling on the ground, without saying a word.

Lu Angui glanced at Zhao Shuo without a trace, and saw that there was no wave on his face, and he couldn't guess his emotions for a while, so he paused and instructed Jiang Shun: "Jiang catches heads, settle them well." ”

Jiang Shun understood, stepped forward and grabbed the old man's arm to help him up, the old man raised his eyes and caught a glimpse of the hideous scar on Jiang Shun's face, as if he was suddenly frightened, his pupils widened suddenly, and he subconsciously shrank his arm.

The old man's reaction fell on Xiting's eyes without leaking, she looked at the old man's slightly trembling figure, and then looked at Lu Angui, who had a hypocritical face, hesitated for a while, and saw that Zhao Shuo was still unmoved, somehow, she couldn't help it for a while, and blurted out: "Stop!" ”

Then he pulled his legs through the crowd and walked quickly to the old man.

Her whole action was done in one go, and Heian and Momiji didn't have time to react at all.

When the two saw her walking forward, they could only hurriedly follow behind.

The rest of the crowd heard someone shouting 'Stop', and they all set their eyes on Xiting.

I saw her bend down to help the old man up, pull his arm and take a step back, and distance herself from Jiang Shun.

"Who are you?"

Jiang Shun held the shoulder knife, his eyes fell on Xiting's hand, his thick black eyebrows wrinkled into a black line, as if he was forcibly suppressing his anger, he gritted his teeth and said, "What do you mean by this?" ”

Xiting had seen Jiang Shun's vicious face when he treated the victims yesterday, and he was already disgusted with him in his heart, but at this moment, he didn't take his threatening words seriously, and looked at him directly.

"What do I mean? If it weren't for the fact that I personally saw what Jiang Zhutou and the officers and soldiers of Guixian County did yesterday, I am afraid that I would have been deceived by you all at this moment. ”

When Lu Angui heard the word 'yesterday', a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, and then his pupils subconsciously shrank, staring at Xiting with half-squinted eyes.

And the old man's body trembled slightly, Xiting felt the tremor coming from his hand, and secretly pinched the old man's arm hard to make him stabilize his body.

Jiang Shun's eyes suddenly filled with murderous intent, and without a trace, he pulled out half of the scabbard of the sidecar and warned, "What happened yesterday?" ”

"What?" Xiting asked rhetorically.

Then he said angrily: "Yesterday, the people here were full of grievances, and the officers and soldiers met each other against the disaster militia who were powerless, and the porridge shacks were all over the ground, and they couldn't see a grain of relief grain, forcing the victims to rush into the granary of the county government to rob the grain. ”

As soon as these words came out, the surroundings suddenly fell silent.

At the same time, Jiang Shun jerked out his sidearm.

Seeing this, Lu Angui stepped forward and pressed Jiang Shun's hand, shook the knife, motioned for him to take the knife back, and then came to Xiting with a smile, "This little lady, I'm afraid you're not mistaken, right?" As soon as the flood ended, the county opened a warehouse for disaster relief, and all the affected people, according to the population, can get two taels of rice every day and receive porridge three times. How can you say that the victims of the disaster are robbing food? ”

Xiting sneered: "Lord County Order, if this is the case, then why are the old people and children lying on the outskirts of Taoyuan County?" ”

was asked like this, Lu Angui was suddenly so angry that smoke appeared on his head, "You...... You little lady Hugh is going to talk nonsense here, come on, take this person down! ”

Seeing that some officers and soldiers were about to come forward to arrest people, Ping'an and Hongye hurriedly opened their arms and protected them in front of Xiting, "Stop!" ”

Lin Congze stood in front of the yamen and looked at the tense scene in front of him, pulled the corners of his lower lip, shook his head slightly, and said, "Alas, this little lady ...... money."

Hearing this, Zhao Shuo's eyes fell on the stubborn and unyielding little woman with a face full of stubbornness.

After being silent for a long time, he said lightly: "Fool." ”

Lin Congzexuan frowned, and before he could ask, he was interrupted by a voice.

"Your Highness has his own decision."

Suddenly, all eyes instantly fell on Zhao Shuo's body.

Lin Congze looked at Qi Shushu's gaze, his eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he muttered, "Your Highness, what should I do next?" ”

Xiting looked at Zhao Shuo intently, as if he was expecting something.

But Zhao Shuo just stood there quietly, his deep eagle eyes were like a cold pool, and he couldn't see a trace of waves.

After a long time, it was so long that everyone felt that their feet were numb.

An indifferent voice rang out.

"Pull this person out!"

As soon as the words fell, I saw Zhao Shuo turn around and walk into the yamen.

Lin Congze was stunned for a moment, his pupils widened slightly, he lowered his eyes and looked at Xiting who was stunned in place, paused, and hurriedly chased Zhao Shuo into the county office.

Lu Angui breathed a sigh of relief in an instant, glanced at Jiang Shun, and followed him into the county office.

"Drag these people out!"

Several officers and soldiers dragged Xiting and Ping'an and a few of them, walked through the crowd, came to the street, pushed them to the ground, and shouted: "Get out! ”

Awakened by the shouting and scolding of the officers and soldiers, Xiting came back to her senses at this time, looked up at the yamen that was already empty, and a trace of indescribable disappointment flashed in her heart, her chest seemed to be blocked by a stone, and she couldn't get up with a breath.

Seeing her stunned and looking ahead, Ping An couldn't help but whisper: "Miss? ”

Xiting suddenly retracted his thoughts, glanced at the slightly embarrassed Ping An and Momiji, straightened Momiji's scattered sideburns and clothes, and ordered, "Let's go back." ”

Ping An followed behind her, looked at her slightly hurried steps, took a few steps to her side, and asked tentatively, "Miss, let's continue our journey?" ”

Xiting suddenly stopped his steps, shook the thin hand of Qianqian hanging beside him, his eyes shrank slightly, and said firmly: "Let's stay for another night." ”

Ping An looked at her figure and sighed slightly.

He knew that with Qian Xiting's character, this matter would never stop there, and his temptation was just one more move.

In the middle of summer, the days are longer than usual, and the streets are lit up until the hour.

Two big red lanterns hung high at the entrance of the Taoyuan County Yamen, reflecting the young man standing under the stone lion on the right.

The man, dressed as a retinue, stood quietly under the stone lion, looking up at the heavy gate of the county government from time to time, as if waiting for something.

A moment later.

Zhao Shuo stepped out of the gate with his chest straight, and Ye Xing followed behind him in black clothes.

Seeing this, the little guy immediately trotted over, bowed to Zhao Shuo and said, "See Your Highness." ”

Zhao Shuo paused, and looked at the man in front of him with displeasure.

"The grass people are the entourage of Lord Qian's family, the water supervisor of Kyoto, and my young lady wants to ask His Highness to talk about it, I wonder if His Highness can appreciate his face?"

With that, Ping An bent down slightly, stretched out his hand and made a 'please' gesture.
