Chapter 30: His Royal Highness the Prince
"The little one is also full of regret now, if he had stopped it in time...... Ay! ”
The bald man said and covered his face with a sigh, but in fact, he quietly pinched the meat of his thighs, and a few crocodile tears flowed from the corners of his eyes.
The county magistrate was furious when he heard this, "At a young age, his heart is so vicious, and I am afraid that he will harm countless people when he grows up in the future, this official will definitely investigate this matter, if this is true, he will never spare this person!" ”
Following the county magistrate, the bald man followed him back to the prison.
Seeing Shen Yuexi sitting on his knees in the prison from a distance, he sinisterly hooked a smile.
Little slut, let you go against Lao Tzu, I don't know how you died when I let you die!
The county magistrate personally came forward to investigate the matter.
After examination, it was found that the prisoners had indeed died from rat drugs, consistent with the description of baldness.
The dead were all prisoners who were friends with Shen Yuexi, but the dead people couldn't speak, so they naturally couldn't explain anything to Shen Yuexi.
And the rest of the prisoners in the prison and the bald gang will not help Shen Yuexi.
In this way, the case seems to be settled.
The county official directly took the case and detained the charge on Shen Yuexi, "This woman has been insidious and vicious, and she has repeatedly failed to change her ways, and she has committed several major cases, and she will be beheaded in three days!" ”
The county official's voice fell, and Xiao Yuexi in the light curtain didn't react, but the monks outside the light curtain exploded.
"This county official is simply talking nonsense, convicting in a few words, and he doesn't plan to seriously investigate the case at all!"
"I don't think this county official's face is a good person, and that bald head is the same as a raccoon dog!"
"In three days, I have to ask Shen Yuexi, what can I do about this, is there a way to change all this?"
Everyone condemned and questioned the county official's ability to do things, but they were more worried about Shen Yuexi.
Although they knew that since Shen Yuexi had been able to live until now, there must have been some kind of turning point at that time, but even so, they just couldn't hold back that anxious and uneasy emotion.
Three days passed in a blink of an eye on the light curtain.
In the past three days, Shen Yuexi was subjected to all kinds of bullying in prison, and her body was covered with bruises, and she could hardly see intact skin.
The official in charge of escorting Shen Yuexi saw that she was pitiful, shook his head, and before sending her to the execution ground, he threw a nest head in front of Shen Yuexi, "Eat it, I hope to be a good person in the next life." ”
Although it was only out of sympathy, this was still a rare kindness that Shen Yuexi had received for so long.
Her eyes were sour, and she trembled and reached out to pick up the nest.
The taste of the wotou was really not delicious, but it was enough to satisfy the stomach, and Shen Yuexi was even reluctant to swallow this charity symbolizing kindness into his stomach.
A loud roar rang out in the sky, and heavy rain poured down.
The official felt that the weather was a little abnormal, and secretly cursed bad luck, so he had to temporarily find a place to shelter from the rain.
Summer thunderstorms come and go as fast as they come, and it doesn't take long for the heavy rain to stop.
was about to escort Shen Yuexi to the execution ground, but the official turned his head and saw Shen Yuexi squatting aside, breaking the nest head in his hand into small pieces, crushing it into powder with his fingers, and scattering it on the ground.
Thinking that Shen Yuexi had wasted a piece of his heart, the expression on the officer's face became a little colder.
But soon, he suddenly noticed something unusual.
In front of Shen Yuexi, in addition to the crushed nest, there was also a group of ants that were dying after being rained.
"She didn't give up herself, but she wanted to give these nests to insignificant ants, such a person......"
The officials began to wonder whether the verdict of the case was correct.
"Who is she, and what crime has she committed?"
A voice suddenly sounded, interrupting the officer's thoughts.
Turning his head, it turned out to be a handsome young man, his clothes seemed ordinary, but they were all cut from the best materials, and his body exuded an innate nobility, like a natural superior.
The official was inexplicably excited, and before he had time to explore where this feeling came from, his mouth had already opened his mouth to explain faster than his brain.
Hearing that Shen Yuexi had killed so many people, the young man's expression seemed to be surprised.
Looking carefully at Shen Yuexi, who was squatting not far away, he looked at it for a long time, and suddenly spoke: "A child who even ants have to sympathize, her kindness comes from the bottom of her heart, and my son can't imagine that she will do murder and arson for a while." ”
After a moment of silence, the boy continued: "Who is your county official, let him let him go." ”
The official was stunned for a moment, and then sneered with some contempt, "The execution order issued by the county official can still allow you to let people go with a casual word?" ”
Just now, the boy saw the steamed buns given to Shen Yuexi by the servant, but he didn't mind his current attitude.
Childe narrowed his eyes slightly, and reached out to find a jade pendant in his arms.
"I wonder if this can make the county's official website open?"
……
"It turned out that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was here, and the officials were not well entertained, please forgive His Highness!"
The county magistrate knelt in front of the prince brought back by the officer, sweating profusely.
This is the prince of the Celestial Empire! The official didn't even know the jade pendant in the prince's hand, it was the only one in the whole world, who would dare to fake it!?
When the official learned of the prince's identity, he was afraid for a while, and couldn't help but recall from beginning to end whether he had done something to make the prince unhappy.
If he accidentally angers the other party, his life will be lost!
Fortunately, His Royal Highness the Prince, who visited Weifu privately, was kind-hearted, and after the county official released Shen Yuexi, he did not continue to pursue the matter.
The people outside the light curtain also quietly breathed a sigh of relief when they saw this scene.
"Shen Yuexi has suffered so many times, and finally met a nobleman."
"This is her creation, if she doesn't have a benevolent heart, presumably the prince will not be touched by her."
"In short, seeing that Shen Yuexi is safe and sound, I can be regarded as putting down a boulder in my heart."
"It's just that the prince and the county officials failed to clear Shen Yuexi's name, in the eyes of others, the black pot she carried is the truth, I'm afraid it's ......"
The monk who spoke was more delicate, naturally taking into account what the rest of the people might have overlooked.
As soon as her words fell, the expected scene appeared on the light curtain.
Fear of death is actually the normal state of human beings, Shen Yuexi just kept pretending to be calm, and when she learned that she was pardoned, she naturally couldn't help but be excited.
But in addition to this joy, Shen Yuexi was surrounded by a loneliness that could not be dissipated.
She looked in a distant direction, distracted for a long time.
Some speculated that she was blaming herself for killing the old man and so many other innocent people.
Shen Yuexi dragged her tired and numb body and slowly returned to the Shen family.
Shen's mother came out to pour water, and when she saw the figure wandering at the door, she thought it was a thief.
When she saw Shen Yuexi's face clearly, she became angry and directly splashed the sewage at her feet:
"Shen Yuexi? You! How dare you come back! You're not welcome in our home! ”
