Chapter 1341
I'll take the blame for you.
Chapter 1341 I'll take the blame for you.
Is the Qin family woman kind-hearted and soft-hearted?
Are you crazy? When did you go blind? She's clearly a female assassin!
Putting aside those who had been dealt with by Qin Xiaomi, even Commander Wei and Elder Qiong felt that Jiang Dalang didn't understand Qin Xiaomi at all.
Old Qiong spoke up to explain, "Young Master, you've misunderstood. Boss Qin is doing very well in the capital city. No one dares to bully her, and those who insulted her have all been convicted and sentenced soon..."
Jiang Dalang interrupted him, turning the arrow in his hand towards Instructor Shen: "I heard this old scoundrel say things that humiliated Master Qin with my own ears, and yet so many of you were there and didn't cut out his tongue. You were condoning this old scoundrel to spread evil thoughts!"
Even Jiang Dalang couldn't bring himself to say the words "strip her naked," for fear of defiling Su Su.
"Many voices can melt metal, and repeated slander can destroy bones. Once the evil idea of parading a meritorious woman through the streets is spread and heard by malicious people, who can guarantee that those evildoers won't form cliques and carry out such an evil plan?!"
"Bring that old thief out, cut out his tongue, give him a light punishment first, and I'll temporarily stop shooting these beasts!"
This?
"Alright." Commander Wei agreed. In any case, the crimes committed by Instructor Shen were more than just cutting out his tongue: "Drag that man surnamed Shen out and publicly execute him, as a small punishment to serve as a warning!"
"Yes." The Wei soldiers under his command were eager to do this job... Qin Dongjia's weapon, the general Jiang Dalang, and Ye Wang's uncle were all worth fighting for.
"Ah, I'm innocent! Get away! I am the instructor of the capital, responsible for moral education. What's wrong with scolding a restless woman? What's wrong with that..." Instructor Shen shouted for half a minute before fainting from fright.
The Wei soldiers held him down, pried open his mouth, took out a knife, and with a swift cut, severed his tongue, which was responsible for uttering malicious words. They then placed the tongue on a wooden tray for Jiang Dalang to see.
"Ugh! Ugh!" Instructor Shen was awakened by the pain of having his tongue cut off. Realizing that his mouth was empty and his tongue had really been cut off, everything went black and he fainted.
"Ha, so this is the Instructor of the capital city? What good can he possibly teach?!" Jiang Dalang kept his word and put away his bow and arrows, handing them to Xu Sanjun beside him. His gaze, however, remained sharp as an arrow, sweeping over the criminals and onlookers from Wei. He repeated his previous words, word by word: "I, Jiang Ying, will definitely seek justice for Master Qin, because I am her fiancé. Those who bully her are bullying me!"
No, this isn't over yet?
Besides, does the Qin family woman need you to avenge her?
She's brought all those who insulted and attacked her here to kneel, and she's even blew up the Tong Family Escort Agency. She's already avenged herself.
Why are you doing it again?!
"Ouch, it hurts! It hurts so much! Help! Soldiers, please treat our wounds!"
"Sir, I was wrong. I will never go against the Qin family again. Please, sir, treat my grandson's injuries. My grandson is a scholar. He cannot be disabled. Waaah!"
Old Man Su, Old Woman Su, Ma Zibai, Zhang Yuanfu, and others who were hit by arrows cried out for help.
Qu Tongzhi said impatiently, "It's too late. If admitting your mistake and harming others can erase all grudges, what's the point of having criminal laws?"
"Moreover, you did more than just insult those who had rendered military service. Your main crime was aiding and abetting the rebels and endangering the safety of the capital. According to wartime military law, you might be sentenced to beheading!"
"If you're sentenced to beheading, what's the point of treatment? It's a waste of medicine. Medicine is a precious commodity these days, and it should be used for the soldiers. You prisoners will have to bear with it for now."
You, surnamed Qu, are so eager to flatter Jiang and Qin that you've abandoned all humanity and become a living devil!
Boom boom boom!
Boom boom boom!
"His Highness Prince Ye has arrived with the main culprit, Tong!"
As the drums and music began, Qi Tianshi personally sang the announcement. His high-pitched, clear, and distinctive voice penetrated everyone's ears, and after only three repetitions, everyone quieted down.
"Greetings, Your Highness Prince Ye! May Your Highness be well." The two gate guards led the way, followed by the other onlookers, in paying their respects.
After the ceremony, the retired Lord Gao from the capital city, the former instructor of the capital city school, Mr. Xu, the current instructor, Mr. Lu, the headmaster of Baiming Academy, and Mr. Wen Tao, as fair-minded people, stepped forward to speak: "Your Highness Prince Ye, where is Mr. Tong? Everyone wants to see him to dispel the rumors that he was tortured to death."
Indeed, Wen Tao is a highly respected and well-regarded figure in the capital city, and is considered a fair and impartial person. "And as for student Lu Fenxu, whether he's alive or dead, it would be best to bring him out for a look, lest more rumors spread."
“We should also present more evidence that Mr. Tong is one of the masterminds behind several cases to dispel any doubts,” said the impartial member.
But Headmaster Tong, Instructor Lu, and Mr. Wen Tao all reluctantly took on this task... They had no desire to get involved in this mess.
Surrounded by numerous Wei soldiers, a troop of imperial guards, Qi envoys, Lord Yan, Prefect Zheng, members of the Qin family, and others, the Prince of Ye arrived at the main gate of Wu Garden. He climbed onto the high platform erected at the gate and looked down at the crowd gathered in the open space in front of the gate.
The Prince of Ye said, "Since this is a reasonable request from the people of Wei, I will naturally grant it. Men, bring out student Lu Fenxu; bring out the main culprit, Tong!"
Ok?
Why so quick to agree this time?
The truth has really been found!
The thousands of people present were all shocked, looking up into the depths of Wu Garden, wondering what kind of Mr. Tong and Lu Fenxu the Prince of Ye would bring out.
Ignoring all this, Jiang Dalang hurried through the crowd toward Wuyuan Garden, simply because he saw Su Su.
Su Su was wearing a special set of armor with red armor on her shoulders. This must be the Dan armor... It's so heavy. She's so small. How tiring it must be for her to wear this armor?
Qin Xiaomi: "..."
Don't spread rumors and slander me. I've been tall for all three of my lives. Although this body isn't even sixteen yet, I've been growing taller these past two years. I'd estimate I'm over 1.65 meters tall now, and with a little more effort, I could even reach 1.75 meters in this lifetime!
Qin Xiaomi was very perceptive and noticed that someone was staring at her. Following the gaze, she saw a human-shaped large sack coming through the crowd.
???
Indeed, due to the need for epidemic prevention and isolation, although General Chu approved Jiang Dalang's entry into the city, they had to bathe in medicinal water, change their clothes from head to toe, and wear large overcoats to prevent the spread of germs to the people in the city.
But some gossipers embellished the story of Jiang Dalang introducing himself and avenging her by injuring others, and told it to Qin Xiaomi.
Qin Xiaomi learned that the large sack was Jiang Dalang.
Grandma Guan, Grandpa Qin, Uncle Qin, and Jiang Erlang were all shocked and moved: "Dalang's heart is truly devoted to our Xiao Mi."
Jiang Erlang nodded, "That's right, that's right. My brother only cares about Sister Xiaomi; Xiaozhu and I have to come after him. But my brother will give him and Xiaozhu their family fortune; he's the kind of brother who's really generous with his money."
Qin Xiaomi was speechless. Was Jiang Dalang out of his mind? He came back and, under the guise of protecting her, started shooting arrows and hurting people. This was adding another layer of viciousness to her already notorious reputation.
But it doesn't matter anymore.
"I'll go pick up Dalang." Uncle Qin cared about Jiang Dalang even more than Grandpa Qin, after all, he was his master's eldest grandson.
“I’ll go too,” Jiang Erlang followed.
Jiang Dalang didn't want to waste any time with them. He swept past them and headed straight for Qin Xiaomi. When he was two meters away from her, he said, "Xiaomi, I'm back. I killed about 40,000 enemy soldiers, several members of the royal family, and a real prince. I've earned a lot of military merit. Don't worry about dealing with those who bullied you. My military merit will cover for you!"
Finally, he raised his voice two decibels so that the King of Ye, the Qi angel, and Lord Yan could hear him, so that they would not allow Su Su's feelings to be wronged for the sake of some trivial grand plan.
