Chapter 178 We Are Innocent
The situation suddenly exploded, with the entrance of the government office as the center, like a heavy stone thrown into the lake, the chaos began to spread outwards in circles.

Those who were afraid of things started to go out, and those who had good things started to rush in. People crowded and bumped into each other in a mess, and some quarreled and quarreled in the middle.The tea stall opposite the government office was also knocked over, and the rough porcelain bowl was shattered all over the floor.

Wang Huai was overwhelmed with joy, picked up a fairly complete bowl from the ground, spotted Xia Chu's side and threw it over, and then someone cursed loudly, and the beating became more and more vigorous.

Xia Chu rushed between the policemen and the people, stopped the policemen to tell them not to beat people, and shouted to the people to calm down, pushing left and right to separate the people on both sides.

But the red-eyed group of gentlemen couldn't listen to it, not only failed to separate the two sides, but also suffered a lot of punches and kicks on their bodies.Xia Chu was so anxious that his throat was split, but it was in vain.

Finally, one of the arresters lost his mind, took a moment to reach out and pull out his saber.Xia Chu was approaching, and when he heard a clang, his face turned pale with fright, and he squeezed his saber back desperately.Someone bumped into her from behind, she couldn't stand upright and fell on the steps in front of the government office, her arm hurt so badly, she wanted to get up but felt that she had no strength in her whole body.

Du Shan threw Qiu Cai aside, saw Xia Chu at a glance, rolled up his sleeves and rushed over.If it was normal, Xia Chu would naturally be able to fight him, the winner or loser is unknown, but just now she lost all strength in the fight, her arm hurts every time she moves, and she is powerless to fight.

She looked at Du Shan, feeling a sense of despair in her heart, and silently asked why.

Du Shan's eyes were already red, he didn't pay attention to what she was talking about, strode forward, raised his fist and punched Xia Chu in the face with all his strength.Xia Chu's mind was blank, and he closed his eyes subconsciously, but he didn't wait for the fist to fall.

When he opened his eyes again, Du Shan had already fallen a long way, holding his arm and screaming.Before Xia Chu figured out what happened, he felt his body lighten up, and he rose into the air.

It feels a little familiar.

She turned her head and saw Jiang Xiyuan's side face without any surprise, and she felt relieved in an instant, feeling that this terrible thing could finally pass.The fear suppressed in his heart seemed to have finally found an outlet, rushing out recklessly.

She pursed her mouth, felt her throat was choked and sore, and reluctantly called out 'Master', tears streaming down her face, and she couldn't say any more words.

Outside the government office, a group of soldiers came running in neat steps, directly separated the crowd from the middle, and then pressed them to the two sides, and instantly cleared the gate of the government office.

Liu Qi strolled over with his hands behind his back, glanced at both sides, frowned and said loudly: "Soldiers obey the order! Clear the road in front of the government office and guard the east and west intersections, if there are still trespassers killed or injured!"

The number of soldiers was not too many, and each of them stood upright with their eyes fixed on each other. Although they didn't have weapons in their hands, they showed a difference as soon as the battle broke out.As soon as Liu Qi's voice fell, the hundred and ten people responded in unison, shouting with the momentum to soar into the sky.

The people of Xijing had never seen such a formation before, and they scattered away in fright after saying, "Does not matter whether dead or injured".

"Master Liu, you're here, I'm going to die of anxiety!" Chang Qing's clothes were torn a few times, and his face was painted. He rubbed his arms and walked in front of Liu Qi, awkwardly Laughed a bit.

Liu Qi put away the serious face just now, grabbed him and said anxiously: "Didn't I just yell when I went out? Why did this fight?!"

"It's complicated to say, and things are a bit strange." Chang Qing shook his head, turned around and searched, "Where is your lord?"

"He came here before us!" Liu Qi also looked around. "The horse is still there, where are the people?"

Jiang Xiyuan wrote Xia Chu and ran straight to his study without stopping.Nestled in his arms, Xia Chu didn't have the strength to struggle anymore, crying very suppressedly, his whole body was shaking slightly.

Her hat had fallen somewhere, her short hair was in a mess, the hair on her forehead was soaked with tears and stuck to her face, her eye circles were dark red, the tears still couldn't stop falling, and she looked embarrassed.She looked over Jiang Xiyuan's shoulder at the gate of the government office, her tearful eyes were filled with grievance and bewilderment.

How could she not understand.Just an hour ago, she was still busy working on Yue Xiaohong's case, why in the blink of an eye she became the criminal in Yue Xiaohong's case and the accomplice of the murderer.

She worked hard to investigate the case, and she wanted the Xijing government office to be a place that the people could rely on and trust, so that they could find a place that could truly make decisions for them when they had grievances or grievances.

This is her ideal, and she has been working hard since doing this headhunter.

She didn't commit extortion, didn't bend the law for personal gain, didn't torture her to extract a confession, didn't create an unjust prison, she was innocent and conscientious, why couldn't they see it?With so many people, didn't she say a word of injustice?Why come to ask aggressively, but refuse to listen to her carefully?

Why do I look like heinous in their eyes?What had she done wrong?

Xia Chu's tears fell on Jiang Xiyuan's shoulders, scalding him so much that his heart ached.

"Don't cry." He tilted his head and put his cheek against Xia Chu's forehead hair, and said softly, "You didn't do anything wrong. It's not worth it."

After entering the study, he put Xia Chu on the soft couch.Xia Chu wanted to raise her hand to wipe her tears, but as soon as she moved, her arm hurt and she grinned.

"Don't move around!" Jiang Xiyuan hurriedly stopped her, and then carefully supported her arm.Before she could react to what was going on, Jiang Xiyuan tugged at her sleeve vigorously, and the sleeve was torn off in half with a snort.

It was only then that Xia Chu saw that there was a three to four inch long cut on his forearm, which was quite deep, and the ground had already dripped a bright red, and the half of the sleeve had already been soaked with blood.She was so startled that she also forgot to cry, and stared blankly at the cut, completely unaware when she got hurt.

"Raise your arms, don't move." Jiang Xiyuan turned around and opened the cabinet to find the wound medicine from the drawer. When the drawer got stuck, he yanked the drawer out irritably, letting the contents spill all over the floor.

After digging out the wound medicine, he squatted in front of Xia Chu, observed the wound, then held his breath and carefully shook out the medicine powder and sprinkled it on it.As soon as the powder was applied, Xia Chu gasped in pain.

"Does it hurt?" Jiang Xiyuan stopped, frowned and looked at her, his eyes were full of anxiety and distress, "Be patient, huh?"

Xia Chu bit her lower lip and nodded, frowning and turning her eyes away, she didn't dare to look at her injury again.

After applying the medicine powder to stop the bleeding, Jiang Xiyuan turned over a clean cloth towel, and while helping her wrap the wound carefully, he said, "You don't remember what I told you yesterday, do you?"

"What?"

"I said I left Liu Qi in the government office. If you need something, you can ask him to find me." He raised his eyes to look at Xia Chu, then lowered his head again, "Why don't you go to me? Why rush forward by yourself! It's too bad It was Chang Qing who informed Liu Qi, otherwise what are you going to do?"

"I just wanted to go out and make it clear..."

"Did you make it clear!" Jiang Xiyuan's annoyed voice became louder, "So many people, did you make it clear! How dare you!"

Xia Chu was stunned, remembering the situation when he was at the gate of the government office just now, his mouth shrunk, and tears came to his eyes again.Jiang Xiyuan was angry with her and felt sorry for her. He reached out to wipe away the tears she shed, and softened his voice, "Okay, let's not talk."

He felt scared after thinking about it.When Liu Qi ran to tell him that the government office was surrounded by hundreds of people, and for some reason they were all targeting Xia Chu, his scalp was about to explode.Without hesitation for a moment, he ran to grab his grandfather's warrant and transferred a team of soldiers from the General's Mansion before running out.

Thankfully I didn't hesitate, thankfully...

He wetted a hand towel, Xia Chu wanted to take it but he didn't give it, flattened it and helped her wipe the tears and dust off her face.Xia Chu remained motionless and let him wipe. He wiped very lightly, and the cool moisture caressed her, and her mood gradually calmed down, replaced by endless exhaustion.

Jiang Xiyuan took one of his clothes out for her to wear outside, and lightly smoothed her hair, "Let's go. First live in my house in Dunyifang."

Xia Chu shook his head, "I'm going home."

"You have to change your wound medicine every day. How do you get it yourself? There are servants in Dunyifang, so it's more convenient to serve you."

Xia Chu bowed his head in silence for a moment, looked up at Jiang Xiyuan and said, "No. It has already been rumored that my lord and I are ambiguous. If I live in Dunyifang again, won't it be true?"

"Unclear?" Jiang Xiyuan didn't hear those words, so he naturally didn't know that apart from the case, those people also made a fuss about Xia Chu's innocence.

Xia Chu stood up slowly, "I want to go home, I can change the medicine myself."

"Don't be so stubborn now."

"It's not that I'm stubborn, I just want to be quiet." She lowered her head and said gloomily, "My lord, I'm going to ask for two days off. Oh, I asked Dr. Liu in the morning, and he didn't know what was in that jar of medicine. What kind of poison, if you have a way, please ask others. I think it will be difficult for me to investigate this case in the future, so I have to trouble you." After speaking, he pushed the door and walked out.

"Chu Xia!" Jiang Xiyuan chased after him.

Xia Chu stood by the door and looked back, forced a smile, "I'm a headhunter. Although I'm young, I think I'm right to get this position. I didn't climb up by relying on any shady things; you are a good official, and you employ people eclectic. But never cronyism. We're innocent, aren't we?"

Jiang Xiyuan's heart tightened, he didn't know how to answer this sentence, he just asked: "What did those people say?"

"I don't want to say it, but my lord will know sooner or later." Xia Chu paused, "I'm in a mess, my lord told me to be quiet, don't come to me if you have nothing to do, I don't want people to see me."

After speaking, the door was gently closed.Jiang Xiyuan was stunned for a moment, then pushed open the door and chased after him, seeing that Chu Xia had already hurried away a long way.He wanted to call her, but before he could speak, Liu Qi suddenly ran over from the side, pulled him and said anxiously: "Master! The whole house is fried! The old lady is so angry that she sent someone out to take you back. Hurry up and think of a way!"

Jiang Xiyuan's gaze was still looking at the direction Xia Chu left, chasing after her already small figure.She was covered with her own clothes, which were a bit too big, and she was thin and lonely, and hurried through the white space in front of the court alone, with injuries all over her body.

That figure really burned Jiang Xiyuan's eyes, making him feel that he had no energy but was at a loss as to what to do.Liu Qi beside him was still anxious about him, but he stood there as if he had settled down, until Xia Chu's figure could no longer be seen, then he murmured: "What can I do..."
