Crown Jewels

Chapter 226

Jiang Shan looked crazy in front of his hazy vision, and suddenly You Zhi's heart jumped.

In the next moment, the frail scholar's skirt was picked up, and in a whirl, he was thrown into the mud pit like a dead dog. The water spray picked up made the blue embroidered shoes in sight muddy, and You Zhi's figure stiffened for a moment. Suddenly, he looked up at the woman with lifeless and empty eyes. He staggered for a moment and crawled forward, holding Shen Lanqing's powerless hand, trying to let her draw some warmth.

"Miss Shen—"

You Zhi's voice was soaked in the sound of rain, mixed with intermittent choked sobs, when his eyes fell on the red and swollen face, the defense line in his heart suddenly broke, choked up with endless regret, like a child who did something wrong at the moment.

"Yes... I'm sorry, Miss Shen, I'm sorry!"

"It's all my fault. Back then... I shouldn't have sought skin from that bastard."

"Miss Shen, I'm sorry..."

The sobbing sound was mixed with emotions, Shen Lan's green lips trembled for a moment, the fine jade beads hit her eyelids, and finally shattered into several petals and landed on her purple lips, You Zhi's prostrate figure came into view in her hazy vision.

Jiang Shan looked at this scene with cold eyes, and watched You Zhi's curses while crying bitterly, his deep eyes were brewing again, his boots stepped on the yellow mud, and his pride and spine were about to be crushed completely, making it impossible for people to turn over in this life .

On a rainy and cold day, You Zhi picked up the rags on the ground and was about to get up tremblingly when his right hand was suddenly stepped on by a boot. The malevolent man in black lingered on Shen Lanqing with his disfigured and humiliated eyes.

"Okay, You Zhi—"

"You know, a treacherous woman deserves to be punished, and she doesn't deserve anyone's salvation or pity, because... she doesn't deserve it!"

The chilly voice came, appreciating the pain and pleasure of others.

"Since you want to protect her, how about I give you a choice?"

Jiang Shan lowered his eyes, the darkness of the night couldn't hide the playfulness of the corners of his lips, the sudden flash of white light revealed the wicked bones under his skin.

"Are you coming, or... are they coming?"

His fingers were trampled by the boots, and his strength increased as he tossed and turned, as if reminding You Zhi that he was not joking. Looking at the men in black who were like wolves and tigers in the besieged city, You Zhi shrank fiercely, separated by the cold and hazy The rain screen, clearly seeing the choice Jiang Shan gave him.

A certain string in his heart suddenly itch, and after realizing it, You Zhi started to spurn himself in an instant. Jiang Shan was not interested in this struggling look, how could he be the only one who lost his humanity?

Jiang Shan's eyes suddenly became fierce, and the men in black around him suddenly approached, and the evil big hands lifted the rags of the clothes, and they were about to remove the last shred of the woman's fig leaf.

The body of the woman leaning on the tree trunk shrinks, she is as delicate as a willow falling into the filth, and the eyebrows and eyes of the distant mountains, as the black figure completely covers her, blood and tears suddenly flow from the corners of the eyes, hiding deep despair. Reveal the will to die.

The cyan broken step was raised again, but it looked cumbersome in the rain curtain, and Jiang Shan's fingers got stuck in the mud, pulling out long marks half a person's height.

"don't want--"

The sound of pain was mixed with powerlessness. Seeing that the crown of the banyan tree was completely surrounded, You Zhi suddenly knelt down at Jiang Shan's feet, slammed his head to the ground fiercely, begging in pain, and grabbed Jiang Shan's robe corner, crawling His figure was like a crawling worm in the dark night, his fingers pointing crazily at himself.

"Jiang Shan, I beg you, I beg you, I'll come..."

"You let me come, don't let them, don't, I beg you!"

With mud gnawing into his mouth, Jiang Shan glanced at the canopy of the banyan tree that was about to be completely submerged, lifted his rain-soaked robe, and then slowly said hello.

As the words came out, You Zhi, who was prostrate on the ground, suddenly got up, staggered into the black shadows, and dragged the crowd outward frantically. The ninja died, but the force of the dragging hands continued unabated. Finally, the man in black felt disappointed and punched You Zhi's ear, before leaving angrily.

There was a rumbling sound, and Youzhi hummed in pain. He couldn't tell whether it was the tinnitus or the thunder from the sky. He fell to his knees on Shen Lanqing's body, his eyes fell on her broken clothes, and when he met the woman's empty eyes, he burst into tears. The voice came, but he didn't dare to look into Shen Lanqing's eyes anymore, his body kept approaching, just murmured like a puppet, repeating the three words "sorry" over and over again.

The three words "sorry" and "sorry" came to the ears of the woman who was full of confusion. She felt stiffly that the skirt and clothes were lifted, and the cold and bone-piercing wind rushed in. Shen Lanqing slowly closed her eyes...

The glaring cold rain seeped into his neck, winding down along the veins of his blood. Fu Sinian's brows were stern in the rain, and the horse neighing as he dismounted raised his head in the night, looking at the light in the faint thatched shed of the post station not far away.

The young man tightened the reins, put on the third war horse of the day, touched the bay red horse that accompanied the city gate and drenched in the rain halfway, then pulled the sturdy black horse in the post station, and then wiped off the rainwater that was falling downstream , skillfully stepped on the stirrup and left the string.

Thunderstorms in the sky occasionally illuminated the day, and the black horse groaned in shock. Fu Sinian tightened the reins, and the black horse's hooves spun around in the mud.

But the official road leads to the endless darkness in the dense forest, like a beast with a huge mouth that swallows people into its stomach, so the road ahead in such extreme thunderstorm weather is not optimistic at all.

And he asked the officers and soldiers guarding the city that Shen Lanqing's carriage left at sunset, and even with the fastest speed, he still couldn't reach the nearest county town on the outskirts of Lin'an City, and wiped away the rain stains on his face again. Depressed and flustered.

Fu Sinian panted heavily to suppress the bad premonition in his heart, quickly sprinkled the rainwater from the pocket of the flying fish suit, and plunged headlong into the dark and suffocating jungle.

The sound of pattering rain pattered on the beams of the house, and tiny lights exploded in the government office. Qi Yuan closed his eyes and put down the half stack of files left in his hand. Exhale foul air.

The light and darkness of the lamp split the man's face in half, and finally Qi Yuan stopped embarrassing himself, and his eyes fell on the snowflake-like file on the table, and he pulled out the file from it familiarly.

Then he took a pen and ground it, laid the rice paper on the flat table, opened the dossier of Miss Sun's humiliation under the warm orange light, dipped it in juice and slowly wrote down the verdict according to his will.

When the thoughts were immersed in it, the wooden door was opened and closed to squeeze in the bulging cold wind, the lamps and candles in front of the desk shook, the sound of water splashing on the ground with boots, and Wang Yucheng's anxious voice came again, soaked in rainwater. The voice was slightly cool, mixed with the bone-piercing cold wind.

"Right—"

Holding the Yanyue Knife, Wang Yucheng hurriedly reported to Qi Yuan without wiping the rain off his face.

"In the middle of the night, someone came to report that there was a murder case in the countryside outside Lin'an City. A woman's clothes were disheveled and her body was exposed in the wilderness—"

The words "exposed corpse wilderness" fell, and the dark sky flashed bright white like light. Through the tight doors and windows that were not closed, the lights that were dancing on the edge of the table were dimmed, but it illuminated the verdict of Miss Sun on the rice paper. Add the word 'adultery'.

The sudden bright white light made Qi Yuan's right hand holding the pen tremble.
