Chapter 25 Hatred
Wu Jie was startled, she quickly looked away, her heart beating wildly.
Yuan Jing frowned: "What were you thinking just now?"
"Nothing, just a little scared."
"Lie, you didn't have fear in your eyes just now, but..." Yuan Jing stared at him, not knowing how to describe that feeling for a while, it was a look full of resentment, even with a hint of killing intent, which made him Puzzled.
Wu Jie was speechless, isn't this guy's gaze too poisonous? She lowered her head and said Nuo Nuo: "I just remembered the scene of being kidnapped by those two thieves, and Sister Ju'er..."
This explanation is reasonable, but Yuan Jing intuitively felt that something was wrong.
His eyes were tired from looking at the documents just now, and he remembered that there was such an idler in the tent, and after a glance, he met her eyes full of hatred and murderous intent, which made people feel chills.
"Is there such a big hatred?"
"Of course, the revenge of killing one's life is irrelevant." Wu Jie lowered her head and said in a cold tone, "I have always been kind to others, and I ask myself that I have never harmed anyone. What I want in my life is nothing more than a place to live and a peaceful life. But However, the morals of the world are unforgiving, and evil wolves pounce on them, wishing to eat their skin and flesh before they are reconciled. May I ask, where is the law of heaven?"
"You are a sheep, why do you ask the wolf to eat you?" Yuan Jing just sneered at her full of resentment, "You ask why the law of heaven exists, isn't the law of heaven just that the wolf eats the sheep?"
Wu Jie's chest hurts from being blocked by him, and she sneered: "The natural principles of wolves and sheep are naturally like this, but we are human beings, educated by etiquette, but we compare ourselves to animals and boast of the way of heaven, what's wrong?"
Now it was Yuan Jing's turn to be panicked. He narrowed his eyes and stared at Wu Jie.
After a while, a sarcastic smile suddenly appeared: "It is said to be civilized by etiquette, but it is just a layer of loin cloth. Without this layer, it is worse than livestock."
He didn't know what he thought of, and there was a hostility between his brows.Wu Jie had never seen his expression like this in two lifetimes, and seeing him made her hair shudder.Instead, he remembered the bad news he heard in his previous life before he died, and his resentment increased: "Aren't those people who betrayed their trust and righteousness worse than animals? They still want to talk about the loin cloth of morality and justice. For the sheepDo you deserve to be cornered and eaten by wolves? How do you know that one day you won't die..."
She tugged hard at the skirt, not even noticing that the wound on her palm burst and the blood spilled out. The resentment of the two lifetimes suddenly erupted because of tonight's twists and turns.
This extreme emotion surprised even Yuan Jing.
After venting, there was silence in the account.
In the eerie tranquility, Wu Jie suddenly felt a little regretful, and lowered her head to stop looking at Yuan Jing.
Fortunately, Yuan Jing didn't answer the call either. Everything returned to peace, just like before the two looked at each other.
After a while, when Wu Jie was a little confused, Yuan Jing suddenly said again: "This matter is credited to you. After the truth is found out, if it is really kidnapped by bandits, I will send someone to calm it down for you."
Wu Jie was stunned for a moment before replying in a low voice: "Thank you very much."
The two stopped talking. Wu Jie was sitting on the mat with her knees hugged, in a daze. Suddenly, she was startled and raised her head.
I was so tired that I dozed off while sitting here.
How long has it been? Looking up, Yuan Jing on the opposite side has disappeared, the tent is empty, only the charcoal in the stove is still crackling.
Wu Jie stood up, moved her sore hands and feet slightly, and quietly opened the tent curtain.
The cold wind was blowing, making people's cheeks hurt, and looking around, the night was still shrouded above their heads.
But as far as the eye can see, the people outside are completely different.
The seriously injured guards were gone, replaced by a caravan, with seven or eight carts, piled full of goods, parked on this small piece of flat ground.
Horses and mules hoofed leisurely and snorted.
It looks like a caravan passing by for a while to rest, together with the naive shopkeeper, smart and capable guys are all available.
Where is Yuan Jing hiding? Wu Jie couldn't find it. But the pensive book can be seen at a glance.
He changed into a sapphire blue gown, and he looked like a refined and shrewd accountant.
It seems that they still want to enter Jinwu City! Wu Jie lowered her gaze, which happened to be her target.
After a short rest, the team is about to set off.
"Miss, do you want to ride a horse with me?"
Looking at the pensive book standing in front of her holding the horse, Wu Jie quickly waved her hands: "No need, I can do it alone."
"You know how to ride a horse?" Shen Sishu's eyes flashed brightly.
Wu Jie nodded. A dead pig is not afraid of being scalded by boiling water. Anyway, she has already exposed enough flaws, and one more will be a big debt.
After experiencing the assassination incident, it is impossible for Shen Sishu and the others to send him to the government office again.
Even the bodies of Ju'er, the two assassins, and the black-clothed assassin were buried by the guards.
Wu Jie suspected that even if they were sent to the government office, even the most seasoned forensics would not be able to find out the cause of death of Ju'er and the others, because they were all shot into hedgehogs.
Presumably, he will soon follow the carriage and other things to find out his true identity. After entering the city, how should she explain it?
Riding on the horse, after walking for a short time, saw Jinwu City. The towering city wall shone coldly at the end of the dark sky, like a giant beast, entrenched on the vast land.
After walking for another half an hour, Wu Jie finally arrived in front of the city gate when she started to feel friction and tingling pain from the inside of her legs.
Since Princess Jinning was assassinated, the city gate has been closed, but Shen Sishu and his party obviously have a special way.
Hearing that it was medicinal materials and other items procured by the yamen of the palace, the city gate officials came out to welcome them.
A guard stepped forward to hand in the documents, and the city gate officials inspected them, went to the back to check the goods, and opened the city gate.
Shen Sishu took the lead and led the caravan into the city with ease.
It seems that Yuan Jing really sneaked in secretly this time! Looking at the young emperor who was in the middle of the guard team, Wu Jie was at the end of the team, thinking calmly.
*****
In a small town to the east of Jinwu City.
Lu Pingting was sitting at the table. Although it was late at night, she didn't feel sleepy at all.
After a moment of silence, she asked again: "Are you still not back?"
Shan Fang nodded affirmatively, "I haven't come back."
Lu Pingting finally breathed a sigh of relief. For a moment, she didn't know whether she felt joy or guilt.
The joy is that his scheme finally succeeded, presumably after this incident, that bitch of the Yang family would never dare to scheme against her easily again. The guilty thing is, after all, it is two lives, especially Juer has followed her for several years.
Alas, for the sake of myself, I had to sacrifice the two of them. Fortunately, one of their lives was saved by their servants, and now they are just paying back. The other is a servant, and it is common for them to be sold by their masters.
Lu Pingting calmed down and asked, "How are the preparations going outside?"
"The whole family is ready, and the confessions have been confirmed. This time, the madam will definitely have nothing to say. We will do it when the master comes back."
Lu Pingting hesitated for a while, and then ordered: "Wait for two more days, after all, it's too coincidental to come to the door as soon as the person is lost."
Yang secretly colluded with the ruffians outside and wanted to steal her away and sell her off. When she learned of this sensational plan, Lu Pingting was shocked and angry. She couldn't believe that Yang was so mad. At first, she planned to find her. The father filed a complaint, but after thinking about it, his father has been fond of those sons all these years, and he has no longer cared about the daughter left by his ex-wife, and even if the father stopped Yang's evil deeds, in the face of his son In fact, it is impossible to abandon her. Sooner or later, he will face a new round of calculations.
That being the case, simply use this opportunity to fight back.
The idiot she rescued, although she didn't know her origin, but judging by her clothes and behavior, she was obviously the daughter of a good family, maybe even a wealthy family. She secretly contacted a family outside, pretending to be Sha Gu's family.
After staying for two days, they came to the door and clamored to find someone.
Ha, let's see how Yang handles it.
At that time, I will expose Yang's evil deeds of trying to plot against me. Even if the father wants to suppress this matter, there are foolish aunt's "family members" outside who are calling for grievances, forcing good people to be cheap, and selling good people, which is a felony.
The world is so absurd. It is not a felony for parents to sell their daughters. It is even more natural to sell slaves like oranges. But if they sell a daughter of a good family like a fool, it is a crime of abduction.
When the time comes, as long as the silly girl's "family" persists and continues to make trouble, my father will be devastated, and sooner or later that bitch of the Yang family will look good.
Lu Pingting bit her lip, secretly making up her mind.
