Chapter 46 The aftermath
At this moment, she heard the heart-wrenching cries of the Jiang family and the sound of horse hooves coming closer and closer.

Is she really going to die here?
This moment seemed particularly long to Jiang Yunjin.

People seem to be frozen in mid-air.

Could it be that God was also sad that she only lived for a few short months?
Forget it, let’s just do it more vigorously!

Jiang Yunjin closed her eyes, waiting for the horses' hooves to trample over her corpse and for her flesh and blood to splatter.

Until a "plop" sound was heard.

The expected pain did not come, but instead I was held in someone's arms?
At this moment, Jiang Yunjin opened his eyes carefully. Instead of the expected horse hooves, there was only a young man in black clothes and a cold face.

The young man had cold eyebrows and a frosty face. When he noticed her gaze, he just glanced at her coldly and then looked away.

Jiang Yunjin was surprised by the boy's coldness, but didn't take it to heart.

The boy put her on the ground.

Only then did Jiang Yunjin look around.

I saw a group of men wearing silver armor and riding tall horses stopped beside me. They all had serious expressions and exuded a hint of murderous aura.

Jiang Yunjin had never seen such a scene before and was stunned for a moment.

At this moment, a cool fragrance came from behind her, followed by the figure of a young boy walking towards her.

"Sir Shen, please forgive me for disturbing you!"

The young boy spoke in a cold voice, with a tone that was neither humble nor arrogant. He raised his indifferent eyes and looked straight at Lord Shen who was in the lead.

The person who came was Pei Jingnian!
Jiang Yunjin was a little surprised. He turned his head to look at the young man standing behind Pei Jingnian and understood instantly.

It turned out that this person was Pei Jingnian's man.

For a moment, Jiang Yunjin was conflicted.

She remembered that she had been rude to this gentleman on the way to escape the famine.

At this moment, when people stand in the capital, they understand that having power is the most powerful thing.

She has to make more money! She also has to let her brothers go to school!
It would be best if everyone could become the top scholar in the future!
Just as Jiang Yunjin's thoughts were flying far away, Lord Shen from the Criminal Justice Department looked over the little girl that the young master of the Pei family was protecting without making any expression.

It looks familiar.

But judging from the way the little girl is dressed, she doesn't look like the daughter of a wealthy family.

"Jingnian, you are being too polite. I heard that your father will be returning to the capital in the next few days. We can have a good reunion then! I have something to do today, so I won't talk to you any more. Come on! Keep going!"

People from the Criminal Justice Department come and go in a hurry.

Pei Jingnian then turned around and looked at Jiang Yunjin who was protected behind him.

Jiang Yunjin was short and did not see the expression on Pei Jingnian's face. She only felt that Lord Shen, who had just left, was quite serious.

Criminal Justice Department?
What is that place?
"Where are your family? Why are you here alone?" A gentle voice came from above my head.

Different from the coldness when he was talking to Lord Shen just now, there was a hint of gentleness in his voice now.

This is the look Jiang Yunjin has seen before.

"Stop talking. There were so many people just now that I was pushed out by someone. Just when I wanted to squeeze back in, someone kicked me out!"

At the end, Jiang Yunjin's voice was a little annoyed.

She turned around angrily, pointed at the big footprint on her butt, and complained to Pei Jingnian!
Pei Jingnian's gentle expression slowly calmed down after he saw the big footprint.

He was drinking tea on the second floor of the teahouse opposite, but suddenly saw a familiar little girl sticking her butt out into the crowd. He didn't know what had happened...

The next second, the little girl flew into the air and was kicked away.

If he hadn't been paying attention and asked the guards around him to rescue her, I'm afraid the little girl would have rushed straight to the prison officers. Not to mention whether the prison officers would be injured, the little girl might not even survive!
and…

Thinking of this, Pei Jingnian couldn't help but lower his eyes and gave a look to the guards beside him.

The latter immediately understood and turned around and disappeared into the crowd.

At this moment, the Jiang family, who had been worried all the time, finally squeezed over.

Mrs. Jiang, with tears on her face, held little Yunjin in her arms. Holding the soft little body, she couldn't help but blame herself.

"Xiao Yunjin, it's all mother's fault. I shouldn't have let go of your hand! It's all mother's fault!"

"Don't cry, Mom!" Jiang Yunjin stretched out her little hand to comfort her mother, and straightened her back quickly when she heard this.

She stretched out her little hand to wipe away the tears from her mother's face. Her fair and tender face was full of confusion. Thinking of the scene just now, she quickly spoke to comfort her.

"Mom, it's not your fault. Someone just dragged me out and kicked me away!"

Jiang Yunjin calmed down and reviewed the scene one by one. The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.

It was obvious that someone deliberately dragged her out and kicked her towards the Prison Department!

The little girl was so angry that the Jiang family members changed their expressions instantly.

For the Jiang family, Beijing is an unfamiliar place. Not to mention making enemies, they don’t even have a close friend!
Why was my own child being targeted for no reason?
The Jiang family was puzzled.

However, the Jiang family did not know that the reason why the other party chose Jiang Yunjin was because she was the only suitable little meat pile around.

Little did they know that this move also allowed the Jiang family to become closer to the Pei family.

Seeing that the atmosphere in the Jiang family was solemn, Pei Jingnian took over the investigation.

If he didn't intervene, the Jiang family would have no way to find the person behind the scenes.

Upon hearing this, the Jiang family thanked Pei Jingnian profusely.

Pei Jingnian waved his hand nonchalantly. Although he was still young, he had already shown his talent and talent.

When Pei Jingnian learned that the Jiang family was going to East Market, he took the initiative to take the little girl to have a good time in the capital.

The Jiang family was afraid of bothering Pei Jingnian, but Pei Jingnian was not afraid of trouble at all. He enthusiastically introduced to Jiang Yunjin the fun places in the capital.

When the Jiang family saw this and that the little girl was having fun, they relaxed.

Mrs. Jiang, now calm, quietly stuffed some money into Jiang Yunjin's hand and told him that if he came across anything he wanted to eat, he could just buy it.

The implication is that you should not owe favors to others.

Jiang Yunjin knows that it is difficult to repay a debt of favor.

After she whispered a promise to her mother, she skipped happily and followed Pei Jingnian.

The Jiang family continued to walk towards the East Market.

Pei Jingnian took Jiang Yunjin with him and started to introduce things seriously. Listening to Pei Jingnian's introduction, she more or less got to know about the ancient times today.

In today's dynasty, there is no such concept as strict separation between men and women, and you can see many daughters of wealthy families going out with their maids on the street.

The capital city is divided into East Market and West Market. There are shops in both markets. The only difference is that prices in East Market are high while prices in West Market are cheap.

The East Market is mostly inhabited by wealthy families and high-ranking officials, while the West Market, except for some judicial residences, is inhabited by ordinary people.

For example, the Criminal Justice Department that we just saw is located in the West Market. It is said that people living nearby can hear the shrill screams coming from the Criminal Justice Department’s prison at night.

The two men were strolling around, but stopped in front of a warrant for arrest.

"Sister Yunjin, if I give you a pen, can you draw this person more vividly?"
