Destroyed outside, gold and jade inside

Chapter 43 The reason of the last resort

"I'm back!" the coachman shouted in the yard.

Not only the man guarding the yard stood up from the ground, but even the Danxin in the room jumped up.He looked out helplessly.

Shen Xinniang walked slowly to the door, but her eyes didn't fall on the coachman, but looked behind the coachman.

"Pack up your things, let's go quickly." The coachman said in a deep voice.

The man patted his butt and smiled, "Did you get the money?"

The coachman patted his chest, and said in a low voice: "Ms. Shen pawned three thousand guan, and the woman gave another five hundred guan, and there was still five hundred guan to say that she would wait until she saw the things. Let's not wait any longer. Now this money is enough for us to spend all the way, and it's enough for...don't ask so many questions, just pack up and go!"

The man hesitated when he heard the words, "Five hundred guan is not a small amount!"

He touched his chest, where there was still the five hundred coins Shen Xiniang gave her.

"Why don't you wait another half a day?" the man hesitated.

The coachman raised his hand and slapped him hard, "People often die on a greedy word! My eyelids are twitching violently, and I always have a feeling of uneasiness in my heart. Now that I have a lot of money, don't be greedy and get on the road quickly." yes!"

The man spat, "Five hundred guan..."

The voice did not fall.

There was a sound of "咻——".

A feather arrow pierced through the air.

Insert deeply into the man's left shoulder.

The man covered his shoulders and yelled.

The coachman was startled, and wanted to rush into the house and take Shen Xinniang hostage.

But he moved a step slower.

Hurrah, a dozen people seemed to have descended from the sky, and quickly surrounded him and his accomplices.

A man with a cold face and a kingly air all over his body, making it difficult to look directly at, stepped forward slowly.

Dan Xin lay on the window and looked out, and immediately became excited, "King Qi, it's King Qi! King Qi is here! My lady, King Qi is here!"

While holding her mouth excitedly, tears flowed down her cheeks. These two days and one night were probably the most difficult time in her life.

A feeling of surviving a catastrophe filled every inch of her skin.

She trembled slightly, if it wasn't from fear at the beginning, but from excitement.

Shen Xinniang nodded slowly.

"Take it." King Qi said coldly.

The coachman and the man who had been wounded by the arrow were subdued in an instant.

Their resistance was like children's fighting in front of Prince Qi's personal entourage, without any threat at all.

King Qi stepped forward, his gaze fell on Shen Xiniang's face.

"Thank you." Shen Xinniang said blessedly.

King Qi nodded, "Human, what do you want to do?"

Shen Xinniang stepped out of the dilapidated house, looking down at the two men who were being escorted and kneeling in the yard.

"This person wants to do something wrong with Danxin, first grab the torture tool, and then kill him." Shen Xinniang said indifferently, as if she was not talking about a human life, but what she wanted for lunch.

The man was taken aback, torture tools?He didn't use torture, where did he get the torture tools?
It was the coachman who reacted quickly and kowtowed to intercede, "Miss Shen, I planned this matter, he is just my accomplice, and in the past two days, he has not really offended my wife, please beat him to death. Spare him a dog's life!"

The man frowned, "Why is my life a dog's life..."

The coachman glared at him, "Miss Shen, he is the only child in their family, because the family is poor and has not married a wife and had children... Madam is lenient, just let him go!"

Shen Xinniang turned her face to look at the coachman, "It's good that you know that you are the mastermind. His results today are all thanks to you. But I think you stopped him from doing evil, so I will give you a good time."

After Shen Xinniang finished speaking, she turned to King Qi, "Please trouble the prince, and execute him on the spot."

Two lives, she spoke without any hesitation.

The coachman's words of pleading did not touch her at all.

It's not like the calmness and sternness that a girl in the cardamom age can have.

King Qi nodded, seeing that she was fine, his brows were cold and relieved, "Do it."

King Qi's entourage dragged the man who was wounded by the arrow aside, opened his legs, and showed his knife.

Only then did the man understand what it means to "seize the instrument of torture", his face turned pale with fright, and he yelled, "Don't, don't, my lady, please spare me! Spare... ouch—"

The coachman knelt on the ground, beads of sweat rolling down his forehead.

"Miss, it is not a pity for the villain to die, please save my poor child after the villain's death!" The coachman pawned the jewelry given by Shen Xinniang from his arms, together with the money from the woman. Take it out.

"The villain has no choice but to do this kind of thing. He really has no money. All the relatives, friends and neighbors who can borrow have borrowed it. It is really impossible to raise that much money...I have to offend my wife. The villain will pay for his life." He deserved what he deserved, but my child, he...he is so pitiful!" The coachman wept and handed over the money.

King Qi's entourage stepped forward to take the flying money.

King Qi looked at Shen Xiniang.

Shen Xinniang's complexion is as usual, she seems to be like this forever, but her beautiful face is always as cold as ice, making it difficult for people to see her emotions.

"Where is your child?" Shen Xiniang asked slowly.

"In..." the coachman said, looking at the people around him, he hesitated again.

Before he acted, he had already hidden the child, just because he was afraid that something would happen and his son would be implicated.

Now if I just die like this, that child...

"The villain hid him in the south of the city." The coachman said weakly, touching his head to the ground.

In the dilapidated courtyard overgrown with weeds, the man whose "instrument of torture" had been confiscated screamed loudly and softly.

He was thrown into the grass at half a person's height, and the blood flowing from his lower body stained a large area of ​​wild grass red.

Dan Xin covered her eyes, not daring to look in that direction.

Although she hated and was afraid of this man at the beginning, seeing his miserable state now, she actually felt that he was a little pitiful.

While waiting for King Qi's entourage to drive the carriage, the man passed out twice.

Passed out and woke up again, and continued to endure this boundless pain.

When the sound of the carriage came from afar.

Shen Xiniang said: "Give him a good time."

King Qi nodded.

Dan Xin immediately closed her eyes, raised her hands and tightly covered her ears.

But when she was about to get into the carriage, she still couldn't help but sneak a glance at it, which almost caused her hair to fall off the carriage.

A piece of lush wormwood is full of mottled blood.

The man's head rolled and fell out of the grass, but the body without the head could not be seen clearly under the cover of the wormwood.

What seemed to be coming was a strong smell of blood.

She couldn't help lying on the edge of the carriage, gagging again and again, her face pale.

Shen Xinniang sat in the carriage, but remained indifferent as usual.

King Qi's carriage is spacious and comfortable, and has everything needed for daily use.She even asked King Qi for a tea set with great interest, lit a small red clay stove, and cooked fragrant tea in the car.

The carriage moved slowly.

The scent of tea gradually dispelled the bloody aura lingering in front of Dan Xin.

But her face was still as white as paper, as if she was about to fall down when the wind blew.

Looking up, she saw Shen Xinniang's graceful tea cooking movements, she swallowed and said, "My lady... you, aren't you afraid?"

Shen Xinniang poured a glass of water and handed it to her.

"Have some tea and calm down."

Dan Xin was flattered, took it hastily, and took a sip of tea.

Shen Xinniang also poured a bowl of tea for King Qi, "Is this tea from the palace?"

King Qi raised his hand to take it, sniffed the fragrance of the tea, and lowered his eyes to see the color of the tea, "The water temperature and time are just right, the movements are smooth, and it looks like a picture scroll. Is the lady a master at cooking tea?"

Shen Xinniang took a sip of tea, her dark eyes reflected in the clear tea, "I seem to have eaten this kind of tea before?"

King Qi's back stiffened.

Dan Xin sniffed, the tea was full of fragrance, and she could no longer smell the smell of blood, "Is it the tea delivered to the lady's room by Madam?"

King Qi stared at Shen Xiniang closely, "Are you sure, have you eaten?"

He seemed to be expecting something, but he couldn't believe it at all.

Shen Xinniang put down the tea bowl, "Maybe, I remember wrongly, you know, I used to be stupid and stupid, I didn't know people clearly, and I couldn't remember many things."

King Qi drank a bowl of tea slowly. Today's tea seems to have a particularly long aftertaste.

The carriage had been traveling for an unknown amount of time before it stopped suddenly.

The passers-by outside were panicked and surprised, but whispered curiously.

King Qi's entourage whispered outside the carriage: "My lord, the road ahead is narrow and the carriage is difficult to pass."

"How far is it?" King Qi asked.

"The coachman said, if you get out of the car and walk on foot, and then take a cup of tea, you will be there." The entourage reported.

Shen Xinniang nodded.

King Qi got up, but he glanced at Shen Xinniang, suddenly shook his shoulders, took off his outer dark clothes, and put them on her shoulders.

Shen Xinniang glanced at him and did not refuse.

King Qi got out of the carriage first.

Dan Xin jumped off, turned around to support Shen Xiniang, and got out of the car slowly.

The driver leads the way.

A group of people meandered behind.

Most of the residents in the south of the city are poor people, or peddlers who walk the streets.

When had they ever seen King Qi in such a battle, they all stopped by the street to peep.But he was intimidated by King Qi's aura, he didn't dare to raise his head, he just peeked out of the corner of his eyes.

The coachman stopped in front of a dilapidated hut.

A blind old lady was sitting at the door, she was rubbing the sole of her shoe, maybe she was very proficient in rubbing, although she couldn't see it, a big needle was very flexible in her hand, and it definitely wouldn't pierce her hand.

"That's... it's here." The coachman said.

"Is Tie Zhu back? Did you invite the doctor? Or did you invite the witch doctor? Xiao Shuan is sleeping right now, and I asked you where you were and when you will come back several times yesterday!" Blind The old woman has good ears, and immediately recognized the coachman's voice.

"Ah, oh, yes, I have invited the doctor. Thank you for helping me take care of Xiaoshuan these two days!" Although the old woman could not see, the driver still bowed respectfully and said.

The old woman pinned the needle to the sole of her shoe, rubbed her wrinkled hands against the wall, and slowly stood up while propping herself up, "No thanks, no thanks, what a big deal."

After finishing speaking, he slowly walked away along the base of the wall.

Shen Xinniang glanced at the old woman, nodded and said nothing.

The old woman left everyone's sight before leaning against the earthen wall, patting her chest and panting.

He murmured in a low voice: "There are so many people here, this iron pillar is probably causing trouble... But please don't implicate others..."

After taking a few breaths, she leaned on the wall again and walked towards her home.

"The child is in there," said the coachman.

Shen Xinniang heard the words and stepped forward.

King Qi stretched out his hand to stop her, and stepped into the room before her.

Shen Xinniang raised her feet and followed behind him.
