Chapter 14
Walking through the busy city to the end of the street, Lin Jingmo failed to find anyone, and was about to return the same way, but when he turned around, he saw Shang Shixu's figure in a narrow alley on a secluded street corner.

Shang Shixu stood in the deep alley, as if he was waiting for someone, so Lin Jingmo hid among the debris at the end of the alley, raised an abandoned bamboo mat to cover the bamboo basket, and hid himself in the bamboo basket Inside, look out through the gap in the bamboo basket.

She narrowed her eyes and stared at Shang Shixu's direction, judging him in her heart: Who is he waiting for?Tsk tsk tsk, I never imagined that Lishang Shixu would be so anxious when he was waiting for others while being so cold and refusing people thousands of miles away.

She turned her head and looked around again, but no one came, Lin Jingmo continued to slander: "Could it really be a tryst with your lover?"

Her heart was complicated, and she didn't notice at all that the accumulated soil in the bamboo basket fell off because she turned the bamboo basket upside down, scattered on her head, face and body, afraid that Shang Shixu would find her hiding here, but she couldn't Immediately opened the basket and ran out, not daring to reach out too far to slap the dirt away, so he silently blew away the dust blocking his eyes with his mouth, and by the way, blame Shang Shixu for this matter: Damn Shang Shixu, really Knowing how to choose a place, it’s not just a tryst, if a good friend comes, anyway, my notoriety is notorious, so I’m not afraid of adding another crime!
Just as Lin Jingmo was planning this, a man walked in from the end of the alley, approaching Shang Shixu with a mysterious look.

The stone hanging in Lin Jingmo's heart was finally put down: Is it...a man?
When the man saw Shang Shixu, he showed him a waist card, then covered his mouth with his hand and put his ear in front of Shang Shixu, saying something.Shang Shixu's brows were furrowed instantly, he turned his head to look at the man, and said in a low voice, "Is Zhao Wang really arranged this?"

Hearing this, the man lowered his head slightly, slowly turned his hands behind his back, and suddenly took out a short knife from his waist, and stabbed deeply into Shang Shixu's belly, then pulled out the short knife forcefully, and stabbed it again.

Shang Shixu didn't take precautions, and he was stabbed twice before he could parry. He frowned in pain, and tightly held the handle of the short knife that pierced deeply into his body with both hands.Then he pushed the man away forcefully, he lowered his head to look at the wound, raised his head and said: "You are not from the Zhao Palace at all!"

Fortunately, the man was extremely thin and was pushed to the other wall of the narrow alley.

Shang Shixu took the opportunity to run towards the end of the alley, clutching his wound, but the man would not give up, and drew a dagger from his waist to catch up.By chance, when he ran to Lin Jingmo's hiding place, the man reached out and grabbed Shang Shixu's shoulder to stop him. He pushed him against the corner of the wall and raised his dagger to stab at Shang Shixu's vitals. Shang Shixu raised his hand to block it, leaving his arm behind. A deep scar.

When the man was raising his hand, Lin Jingmo jumped out of the bamboo basket behind him at the very moment, picked up a stick from the sundries beside him, and smashed it down heavily on the man.

The man took a sap from his back and touched the back of his painful neck. His eyes were full of anger, and he raised his hand to stab her, but Shang Shixu pulled out the short knife in his abdomen and stabbed the man with it. The man looked incredulously. But the blood-stained red blade immediately fell down.

Shang Shixu was seriously injured and weak, and slowly slid down against the wall. Lin Jingmo hurriedly jumped out of the pile of debris, ran to Shang Shixu's side to support him, and kept him from falling down.

Shang Shixu's pale face was like a piece of cold jade, and his bony hands were covered with blood. He was usually meticulous, but at this moment, a few strands of hair were hanging down from the corner of his forehead, blood was oozing from the corner of his mouth, and he looked weakly at Lin Jingmo, his eyes were empty and empty. Desolate, said weakly: "Lin Jingmo...you go..."

Lin Jingmo tried his best but could barely support his body, and said: "What are you going, hasn't the murderer been defeated? I just thought it was you meeting your lover here, but I didn't expect to meet a big man. It's really exciting He almost killed you just now!" Looking at the injuries all over his body, he said softly: "Your injuries are serious, I will help you go out to find a doctor."

Just as he was about to leave, a few big men walked in from the alley. They were different from Shang Shixu, with dark skin and plain clothes. They were all very thin, and they looked like hardworking people.

When they saw Lin Jingmo and Shang Shixu, and then looked at the man lying on the ground, they drew their swords and rushed in front of them. Lin Jingmo looked up at Shang Shixu with a look of embarrassment on his face, and whispered, "How many dates did you have today?" man..."

Shang Shixu saw that the visitors were not friendly, so he suddenly let go of Lin Jingmo, and pushed her aside forcefully, without Lin Jingmo's support, he himself fell to the ground.

He looked at Lin Jingmo viciously and said, "Stinky bitch! My lord said I'm not interested today! Get out of here!"

Lin Jingmo was stunned by the push, not knowing why.

Those big men walked in, pointed their knives at Shang Shixu and said, "You dog official! Don't play tricks!"

Lin Jingmo realized that these big men were with the people on the ground, and it turned out that Shi Xu just wanted to escape.

Lin Jingmo then got up and stood beside Shang Shixu, pulled off the hairpin on his head without saying a word, stretched out his hand and said, "I can give you the silver taels you want, but he is injured, and he will die if he doesn't heal quickly!"

One of them took her jewelry, turned it in his hand, and it turned out to be pure gold. He gestured to the others, and then asked Lin Jingmo: "You care about him so much, I ask you, are you his?" Who is it!"

Before Lin Jingmo could answer, Shang Shixu on the ground said, "She's just a concubine of mine, and just like you, she's also a suffering poor."

The man didn't believe it. He looked at the jewelry in his hand and said, "Poor? Look at her dress, she doesn't look like a poor person!"

Shang Shixu said: "Although she is just a girl in the fireworks alley, she is really my beloved, so she is naturally dressed in extraordinary clothes."

The other person heard the words and said to the first person: "That's right, big brother, this dog official has done so many outrageous things, the fish and meat people, he does all kinds of evil, he must have acquired a lot of property, and the mistress around him will not look bad!"

The first one nodded, and said to Lin Jingmo: "You are also a poor person. You are under his power and subservient to others. In this case, as long as you promise me not to go out and talk nonsense, I can let you go."

Lin Jingmo shook his head and said, "You little thieves, do you know who he is?"

Several people laughed and said: "He turned into ashes, we also know him, he is Shang Shixu, the most treacherous apprentice of the dynasty!"

Lin Jingmo was taken aback when he heard the words, and said, "Since you know his identity, and assassinated the imperial court official in the street, do you know what crime it is?"

Several people looked at each other, and one of them said: "Hmph, we delayed paying taxes and grains. We are criminals of the imperial court. Now we are not afraid of death. If we want to drag this dog official to hell, are we afraid of another crime?"

Lin Jingmo said: "Hmph, you are not afraid of death, so are your family members and friends? Murder the court official and be executed as Ling Chi! The servant of the household department is a second-rank official, but you can punish the three clans. I have already remembered you. Look, from the accent, it should be from Nanling, right? I think, you guys can barely hide, but your family members may not be able to take refuge at any time, right?"

When the few people heard this, they were not afraid, and instead said, "Oh, stinky bitch! You really want to die! Since you have memorized our faces, then take them away together!"

After all, Lin Jingmo and Shang Shixu's mouths were gagged, hands and feet were bound, and sacks were put on their heads, and they were carried into the carriage by these big men.
