"Sister Xihe, it was this idiot who attacked you!" Xue Jinqiao ran to Shen Xihe and signaled the guards to hold the man in front of them. He was a dark-skinned man in gray.
Shen Xihe glanced at Mo Yu, who vaguely remembered some of the outlines: "Similar."
"It's him!" Xue Jinqiao was dissatisfied with Mo Yu's answer.
She had finally gotten rid of the Xue family's red tape today, and when she arrived at the Princess's Mansion, she learned from Hongyu that Shen Xihe and Shen Yun'an came here to climb the mountain. She immediately chased after them, and when she saw Mo Yuan and Mo Yao driving at the foot of the mountain, she knew that Shen Xihe and the others had gone up the mountain.
When she caught up, she saw Mo Yu chasing someone. She thought that she could find Shen Xihe by following Mo Yu. As a result, Mo Yu turned back halfway. She was about to catch up, but she realized something was wrong, so she asked the guards to continue chasing the person and she also turned back. However, she was one step too late for Shen Yun'an and Mo Yu.
However, the guard caught the person that Mo Yu was chasing, and she immediately chased after him.
"Why are you arresting me? You are arresting people in broad daylight. Do you have any law?" The arrested person immediately shouted, "Help, help, the rich and powerful are killing people—"
"You—" Xue Jinqiao was so angry that she wanted to kill him with a knife, but she did not act rashly in front of Shen Xihe.
It was his loud voice that startled everyone. There were already quite a few people at the foot of the mountain, and they all gathered around him at once.
Xue Jinqiao and Shen Xihe were both wearing veils, but they were both dressed elegantly, so no one dared to speak out easily, but they all gathered around and whispered.
Shen Xihe just let him howl quietly. When more and more people gathered around, Shen Xihe gave Mo Yuan a look.
Mo Yuan clenched his fist and smashed it towards the other person's chest, knocking him to the ground. He covered his chest and coughed violently.
“Help… Help…”
Mo Yuan kicked the man again, causing him to fall over and curl up on the ground.
The onlookers pushed away one after another. Many people couldn't stand it, but they didn't dare to join in. They really didn't dare to provoke Shen Xihe and others.
Mo Yuan stomped on him again, causing a mouthful of blood to spurt out. He stepped on him and asked, "Who ordered you to do that?"
"Crack, crack, crack..." The man coughed out a few mouthfuls of blood, "I..."
"Although Princess Zhaoning is not a royal relative, she is also a princess appointed by Your Majesty. By doing this and abusing the people in public, aren't you afraid that the King of the Northwest will lose face and Your Majesty's reputation will be dishonored?" A resounding female voice suddenly sounded.
She was a girl wearing a lapel robe. Nowadays, girls often wore men's clothes to save money when going out, and lapel robes were particularly popular.
She was not pretending to be a man, she just wore men's clothes, put on a little makeup, and drew deep eyebrows, looking heroic.
Shen Xihe recognized this person. She was Jiang Baiyan, the daughter of Jiang Bashi, the Minister of the Imperial Household. It was said that she was as good at riding and shooting as any other boy.
"Miss Jiang, who did you meet just now?" Shen Xihe suddenly asked.
Jiang Baiyan was stunned, not understanding why Shen Xihe asked this question. She frowned subconsciously: "Why are you asking this?"
"Or, before Miss Jiang spoke up for justice, who was the last person she saw, or whose words did she hear?" Shen Xihe asked further.
"What exactly do you want to say?" Jiang Baiyan was confused.
"Today, my brother and I went hiking. Halfway through, someone released a snake to kill me, and also disturbed many other hikers." Shen Xihe said calmly, "This person is the one who released the snake."
