Xie Shizi's shameless daily life

Mr. Li walked to Zhao Shu calmly, looked at the people in the audience and insisted on his statement: "She is not guilty!"

Some people in the crowd were dissatisfied: "How can she be innocent? She brought this plague. She killed so many of our relatives. She must pay with her life and offer sacrifices to the gods to avenge their wrath!"

Mr. Li stroked his gray beard and shook his head: "It wasn't her who brought this plague, it was someone else!"

"Mr. Li, are you blind? The sinner is right in front of you, but you say she is not a sinner! Well, you say she is not a sinner, then who is the sinner?" The man pointed at the people around him and said, "Him, or him, or him, or us all!"

After the man said this, the hearts of those in the crowd who had just been somewhat relieved by Mr. Li's words became anxious again: "That's right, if she is not the sinner, then who is the sinner!"

Mr. Li's expression was as indifferent as smoke: "She is not a sinner. If she dies in Mi County because of your actions, Mi County will never have peace again."

After Mr. Li finished speaking, he left along the way he came. Although Mr. Li came quietly and left quietly, his words took root in the hearts of the people and could not be ignored!

As Mr. Li faded from people's sight, people began to discuss the matter. Some people insisted that Zhao Shu was the sinner of Mi County and deserved to be put to death.

Some voices do not deny that Zhao Shu is a sinner, but out of fear, they think that Zhao Shu could die later.

The two groups of voices were arguing, and the situation was gradually getting out of control. Duan Jingheng picked up the gavel in his hand and slammed the table hard several times.

Perhaps the people were already frightened, so the sounds of the gavel hitting the table worked, and the scene suddenly became quiet.

Duan Jingheng's face was as gloomy as water: "Silence!"

Duan Jingheng glanced at the people in the audience, then turned to look at Zhao Shu kneeling on the execution ground, and then said with a bad face: "Today's execution ends here, everyone please disperse first!"

There is always a troublemaker in the crowd who always goes against you. The man who had been insisting that Zhao Shu was the sinner said, "No!"

Duan Jingheng paused as he stood up. He raised his eyes and looked at the man coldly: "You are so arrogant. If the punishment of Zhao Shu is not stopped now, and Mi County is punished, will you take the responsibility? Can you bear the lives of thousands of people?"

Duan Jingheng's words truly showed that he put the safety of the people of Mi County first.

The people felt a little warm in their hearts, and murmured in their hearts that there were not many officials who cared so much about them.

Out of fear of death, the people were very dissatisfied with the troublemaker who had just spoken. It was not like they would not offer Zhao Shu to the gods, it was just two days later. Why were they in such a hurry? Did they want to drag all of them down to accompany Zhao Shu?
Someone frowned and said to the troublemaker, "Master Duan is an official, and we are the people. It is right for us to listen to the master. What are you yelling about?"

"Why, are you better than Lord Duan and Mr. Li?"

The voices in the crowd surged: "That's right, that's right, you are not afraid of death, but we are! Why are you yelling at this nonsense!"

"Maybe Zhao Shu wasn't the one who hurt us to this point, but you!"

"Yes, yes!"

The troublemaker's face turned red as everyone talked about him. He opened his mouth, not knowing how to refute.

Duan Jingheng was very satisfied with the current situation. He slammed the gavel on the table again and said, "Everyone can go home if everything is fine."

Just as the people were about to disperse as ordered, a cry of surprise came from behind: "Sir, sir! I have something to report to you!"

Duan Jingheng caught a glimpse of the person hiding to one side, and sat down again after half-standing up: "What's the matter?"

Someone in the crowd recognized the two people approaching Duan Jingheng: "Aren't these Doctor Chen and Coroner Lu? Why are they here?"

Behind Doctor Chen and Coroner Lu were two men who looked like servants carrying a stretcher with a dead person lying on it.

Why do we say it is a dead person? Because wherever the stretcher passed, there was a strong smell of rotting corpse, the smell was extremely strong!
Doctor Chen and Coroner Lu knelt on the ground and said, "My Lord, I am terrified and have discovered a shocking secret. After careful consideration, I have decided to tell you this secret for the sake of my family and the people of Mi County!"

Duan Jingheng looked at the body covered with white cloth on the stretcher: "What is this?"

Doctor Chen pressed his head to the ground and said, "Your Excellency, this is the first person to get the plague!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the people couldn't help but scream, covering their mouths and noses and retreating. Doctor Chen stood up from his knees, turned around and looked at the group of people and said, "Don't be afraid, this is not contagious!"

Someone shouted boldly: "This is the first person infected with the plague. Why did you move this person here? Do you want to kill us all?"

Doctor Chen said loudly: "This man will not move people, because he is not suffering from plague, but poisoning!"

Doctor Chen pointed at the coroner Lu who was standing beside him and said, "If you don't believe me, you can ask him!"

The coroner Lu nodded and said loudly: "This person's cause of death was indeed not an epidemic, but poisoning!"

Someone in the crowd exclaimed, "Impossible, if he didn't have the plague, then what happened to those people he infected? Were they all poisoned?"

Doctor Chen shook his head: "I don't know that, but what I do know is that the first person who got the plague didn't get the plague, but was poisoned, and the symptoms of people who got the plague afterwards were the same as this person's!"

This is incredible information. If what he said is true, then the people around them were not infected with the plague but were poisoned! ?

Duan Jingheng was furious and slammed his hand on the table fiercely: "Come here, arrest that man for me."

The person Duan Jingheng arrested was the troublemaker who had always been against him and who insisted that Zhao Shu was a troublemaker.

When that person saw that something was not right, he immediately pushed through the crowd and ran out.

Upon seeing this, the guards immediately surrounded him!
The crowd screamed and scattered. It turned out that the troublemaker was a martial artist. He punched away the guard in front of him and picked up a boy nearby.

The man was about to use the boy as a threat, but for some reason his right knee suddenly fell to the ground. Seeing this, one of the guards quickly snatched the boy from the man.

The other guards immediately rushed towards him and held him down tightly.

Seeing that the troublemaker was subdued, Duan Jingheng waved his hand and asked the guards to take him to the prison and keep him under strict guard!
The people were terrified by this scene and they covered their chests in fear.

Duan Jingheng had not expected that there was such a heart-wrenching secret hidden behind the plague. He frowned and coldly ordered two guards to send Zhao Shu back home, while he strode towards the government office.

Zhao Shu followed the guards to Duan's mansion. Now the people's attention had shifted from Zhao Shu to the poisoning incident. Everyone was in a state of panic, so no one noticed Zhao Shu's departure for a while.

From the time Zhao Shu came to Xingtai until now, she has been watching coldly the malice and curses directed at her by that group of people. She is like watching a play. That group of people are the characters in the play, and she is a sober outsider!

It was not until she stepped into the gate of Duan Mansion and a slender and warm hand covered her cold hand that she came back to her senses.

Zhao Shu tilted her head to look over. Xie Jin tried his best to restrain himself, but a trace of heartache could not be suppressed in his eyes.

Zhao Shu was stunned by his expression at first, and then a warm current flowed through her limbs. She looked at Xie Jin and forced a smile: "Don't worry, I'm fine."

Xie Jin naturally knew that she was fine, but he just felt distressed. He felt distressed that her parents had never stood firmly by her side, that she had been misunderstood by everyone but had never said a word in defense, and that she was indifferent to the matter. Only when a person does something over and over again or is always treated with a certain attitude, will she get used to this thing or this attitude.

Looking at Zhao Shu standing straight in front of him, with her skirt lifted by the breeze, his heart trembled, and he suddenly reached out and hugged her in his arms.
