Looking at the dumbfounded expression of the leading man, Ye Xingtong smiled and said, "Of course, if you insist on forcing me to admit a mistake I didn't make, I won't have the final say in what I can do."
"Girl, you are clearly arrogant. If I don't tell you, someone will judge you. Someone, come and take her away!" The leading man waved his hand, and the two government servants held swords and said expressionlessly. Walking towards Ye Xingtong.
The person in front said: "Girl, I'm offended."
"No, if I have to go to the Yamen, no problem, I will accompany you to the end." Ye Xingtong paused, looked at the indifferent Wu Ye, and said, "I can follow you, but I My brother is young and I am afraid that he will be scared when he goes to the Yamen, so he must stay here."
"This..." The leading man looked at Wu Ye, with a look of hesitation in his eyes. Such a beautiful child, with tender skin and tender flesh, would not die if he went to prison.
The thought of a fairy-like child suffering in prison made the leading man feel guilty.
"You don't have to abide by my proposal, but don't ask me to go with you today!" Ye Xingtong said, pulling out the long sword from his waist, with a posture that made people feel like they would perish together: "At worst, we will die in a fight. !”
She was the one who broke into this matter, so let her take the responsibility alone. I really didn’t expect that the dignified and pampered eldest princess of Southern Xinjiang would be kidnapped by the officers and soldiers with weapons. If the father knew about it, he would definitely You will be very angry with yourself!
The leading man couldn't help but be frightened. It seemed that this was also a fierce woman!
Were their previous inferences wrong? Then he immediately shook his head. It must be impossible. The master said that the murderer can be found based on this piece of rag.
I just didn't expect that the murderer would be such a stunning woman. She really knows people but not their hearts!
Looking at her bright appearance, who would have known that underneath her beauty, she had such a cruel heart.
At the same time, I also had doubts: This woman followed them to the Yamen so obediently without resisting at all. Isn't it normal? He had to resist no matter what, and then he was subdued by them with the strength of nine cattle and two tigers. The one hundred elite soldiers he brought had not yet been put to use.
"Okay, I can promise you." The leader finally couldn't bear the suffering of a child who was too beautiful to be in the world, so he agreed to Ye Xingtong's request.
"I'm not wrong about this official brother. Thank you very much. You don't have to escort me. I'll go by myself." Ye Xingtong said. He glanced at everyone and took a step forward. The government officials who besieged him stepped aside and stood aside.
"No, I don't agree!"
A clear and childish voice sounded for the first time, causing everyone to look at the owner of the voice in unison.
Wu Ye walked towards Ye Xingtong step by step with a straight face and looked at her: "You promised me that you would protect yourself even for me. How could you make your own decision without asking me? Have you ever Have you asked me how I feel? Are you treating me well just because you left me here? Let me tell you, Ye Xing... "
At the end of the conversation, seeing Ye Xingtong's ugly face and her hint, Wu Ye stopped talking in time: "Ye Xingtong, I will not accept your so-called kindness. If you want to leave me alone, I don't want to."
Ye Xingtong was almost moved to tears. Wu Ye was so considerate and knew that she was trying not to implicate him, but if she didn't let him follow, he would definitely not worry about himself. If anything happened to her, he would follow her. Disaster.
Forget it, just follow it.
After thinking about it, Ye Xingtong nodded: "Okay, I was negligent to you, so let's go together!"
The leading man felt pity. He always felt that a beautiful child like Wu Ye should not suffer with his sister. He half-crouched in front of Wu Ye and advised softly: "Kid, you don't know how many risks there are in going here." , your sister was arrested as a criminal suspect. If it is confirmed in the future, if you follow, you will definitely be implicated. You will regret it then! It is better to stay here now. What news will there be about your sister in the future? I will also inform you, okay?"
The leading man's soft words gave all the government officials goosebumps. Why didn't they know that their heads would be so gentle
"No, either leave her behind, or let's go together." Wu Ye said, walking past without even looking at the leading man.
Walking to Ye Xingtong's side, he paused: "Aren't you going to leave? Why are you still standing here?"
Ye Xingtong pursed her lips and smiled. This child is quite awkward!
The government officials also followed them, leaving only the stunned leading man in the inn. What is this situation? He has good intentions. Anyone who sees such a beautiful and delicate child who cannot be described in any words can't help but feel pity for her.
Walking all the way to the Yamen, the leading man originally wanted to inform the county magistrate to take Ye Xingtong and the others directly to the lobby for questioning, but someone below told him that the magistrate was staying with his concubine in the third room.
The leading man was embarrassed.
Ye Xingtong couldn't help but laugh. I'm afraid this county magistrate is not a good official who has nothing to do but seeks the welfare of the people and serves the people wholeheartedly, as people say! At most, it's just to gain a good reputation.
The servant added: "Your Excellency said that if the murderer is caught first, he will be imprisoned in a golden prison and guarded by heavy troops. He will personally try the case tomorrow morning."
The leading man glanced at Wu Ye subconsciously, and when he met Wu Ye's cold eyes, his whole body suddenly felt as cold as frost.
He immediately left his sight and said to his servant: "I know the arrest. If my lord comes out, just tell him that I have caught the murderer and put him at ease."
It must be a servant. The leading man then led Ye Xingtong to the dark prison.
"Okay, you guys can rest here for the night. Tomorrow I will let you go to court to judge you." After Ye Xingtong and Wu Ye entered, the guards locked up. The leading man couldn't bear to look at Wu Ye and shook his head. head away.
I sighed repeatedly in my heart: What a pity, what a pity.
It was really dark here, with almost no light coming in, and everywhere was filled with the screams of prisoners and the dark, damp, musty smell.
Ye Xingtong and Wu Ye couldn't help but frown.
Ye Xingtong looked around, then cleaned a few times on the simple wooden bed that was the only one in the prison. He knocked off some dust and some moldy grass on it, and then put some cushions in the corner. It was relatively quick. A little bit of hay.
"Okay, let's sit down first. I'm going to give you some grievances for now." Ye Xingtong sat down and stretched. Suddenly something jumped on her back. Ye Xingtong was startled and couldn't help but scream. , sat up all of a sudden, jumped to Wu Ye's side, and held him.
Wu Ye stiffened and said, "Why are you yelling? It's just a mouse."
"Rat..." Ye Xingtong murmured, ran directly behind him, hugged his waist tightly, and said urgently: "Drive it away quickly, I hate these disgusting things the most."
"What are you most afraid of?"
"Who... who said I'm scared? I, Ye Xingtong, am not afraid of anything, and I'm not afraid of mice." Before he could finish his sentence, another mouse came over, closed his eyes, and screamed again without any chastity. Said: "Mouse, drive it away quickly, hurry up!"
"You still say you're not afraid, you're a tough talker." Wu Ye pushed Ye Xingtong away and said disgustedly: "I already told you not to touch me, but you are so close to me, a mouse scares you like this. "
Ye Xingtong grabbed Wu Ye again, hid behind him, and argued: "I'm not afraid, I just think the mouse is too ugly and I don't want to touch it."
Wu Ye was noncommittal, if he didn't drive the mouse away. Ye Xingtong was afraid that he was going to rely on him. A red light flashed on the ground. Wu Ye opened Ye Xingtong's hand inch by inch and said, "I drove the mouse away, you can let go."
"real?"
Ye Xingtong opened his eyes suspiciously, but didn't notice any movement in the cell. Then he felt relieved and hurriedly let go of Wu Ye and sat on the newly packed couch: "I'm not afraid, I'm avoiding it because I hate it. "
"Not only is the light here bad, but it also stinks to the sky. It smells like everything. It's like a hodgepodge. The most disgusting thing is that there are rats. I told you not to come, but you still insist on coming. You can't get anything you want. Do you regret it now?" Ye Xingtong held his head and sighed.
She couldn't stay in a good inn, so she still had to come to the Yamen. This was her first time staying in a prison, so she treated it as a special trip!
"I never know what regret is. You can escape, why don't you escape?" Wu Ye said, looking at Ye Xingtong with burning eyes: "Even if you can't escape, I can help you, why do you have to commit yourself? In this little place?”
"I don't want to live here either! But he is an official. Since ancient times, people have not been able to fight with officials. Do you think it is easy to escape being regarded as the number one criminal suspect? I tell you, that is impossible. By then, the whole country will They will chase you, and you can’t escape even if you want to! This is the insignificance of human beings, the cruelty of reality, and it has been destined since ancient times. Besides, we are not murderers, so why should we escape? If we really escape, we will be killed by others. Do you think he is the real murderer? Am I that stupid? Let’s stay here for now. I believe the magistrate will give us justice tomorrow." Ye Xingtong said with a bitter smile.
Whether she said this to comfort herself or Wu Ye, she couldn't tell.
Wu Ye didn't think so, sneered and retorted: "Although I don't understand you humans, I still have a clear vision of right and wrong. That county magistrate is definitely not a good official. Let me ask, a good official will be busy with affairs." Time to indulge in mating with women?”
Ye Xingtong heard the word "mating" again, and it was said by the same man (now a child). Although it was not the first time, she was still very tired and almost gasped. Don't get angry.
