When Lan Qiao jumped back from outside the fence, he already had a big white chicken weighing three pounds or six taels in his hand.

Li Jingshu looked at him with wide eyes and said, "You just left me alone and ran away for so long just for this chicken."

Lan Qiao said proudly: "How about it, is it big enough?"

Li Jingshu held her head in disbelief and said: "Don't tell me that you stole chickens and dogs because of me. Even if I starve to death, I will not eat the chickens you stole. If people find out now, I will never be ashamed again."

Stay in Jiangpu."

"Don't worry." Lan Qiao smiled and waved his hand, "I did take the chickens, but I didn't steal them. I left money in the man's chicken coop, enough for him to buy three more."

Li Jingshu felt relieved and breathed a sigh of relief: "That's pretty much it."

She stretched out her hand to take the chicken, but Lan Qiao dodged it, causing her to miss it.

Li Jingshu said in shock: "Maybe you didn't give it to me?"

"Of course it's for you." Lan Qiao said calmly, "It's just that you entertained me during the day, and it's my turn to serve you this time."

Li Jingshu was a little surprised and said: "Really?"

"Of course it's true." Lan Qiao held the chicken with one hand and used his other hand to neatly remove the feathers. "In a fully equipped kitchen, you, Miss Li, may not look down on me, but if you talk about it,

I still have some confidence by making do with what I have, and adapting to circumstances."

Li Jingshu thought for a while, then rolled her eyes and said, "Are you talking about the fish and bear's paws that time? It was indeed interesting."

"So just sit nearby and wait and see." Lan Qiao held Li Jingshu's shoulders and asked her to sit down, then went to the well to dissect and clean her internal organs.

He dug a pit in the backyard, dug out the air channel, filled the bottom of the pit with charcoal, covered it with gravel, put in the cleaned chicken, and let it roast on the hot gravel.

Roast. Finally, he took out the manhole cover and buckled it, rubbed the soil in his palms and said, "What's a good name for it? Let's call it Dikeng Chicken."

"Chicken in the ground," Li Jingshu said with a smile, "Sure enough, boys are all careless, and they are so careless in choosing names."

"It's just a chicken. As long as it's delicious, it doesn't matter what the name is." Lan Qiao sat down next to the pit with a smile and said, "When Ling'er and I give birth to a child in the future, I'll invite you here when we choose a name."

Please refer to the details and see what you can tell me about them."

Li Jingshu's smile gradually faded, she was silent for a long time, and suddenly said softly: "Have you ever thought about what you want to do if I mean if tomorrow's operation fails?"

Lan Qiao was startled, obviously he had never really thought about this possibility, and thought: "Frankly speaking, I don't know, but if she is not saved, she will eventually come to the capital to question her guilt. I can only see what happens then."

Are there any other opportunities?"

Li Jingshu sighed and said: "Once you enter the capital, the Ministry of Punishment, the Supervisory Office and the three departments of Dali Temple will interrogate the prisoners, and the monitoring of the prisoners will be extremely tight. You will not be able to get such a good opportunity in Jiangpu. When you get to the capital, you will only die in vain."

."

"But how can I just watch her being questioned and punished?" Lan Qiao clenched his fists and said, "She was arrested because of me. No matter what, I will not give up and let her bear all this alone.

"

"Have you ever thought that once you find that you can't save her, you have another option?" Li Jingshu sighed again and said quietly, "Kill her with your own hands."

"Kill her," Lan Qiao said dumbfounded, "What crazy talk are you talking about?"

"I'm not talking crazy, and it's not my original intention to advise you to kill someone. I just think from Xiaoye's perspective that if she really can't be rescued, maybe dying in your hands is the best relief for her." Li Jingshu

Seeing the angry look on Lan Qiao's face, he continued in a calm tone: "Don't get angry in a hurry. You can wait until you hear the story I'm telling you and then carefully weigh what I just said."

Lan Qiao snorted coldly and said, "I'm listening."

"We all know that once Xiaoye is convicted by the Three Justice Division, it will definitely be a serious crime of treason and Lingchi will be exposed in the street." Li Jingshu suddenly paused when she said this, raised her eyes and looked at Lan Qiao and said: "Do you know what Lingchi is?"

Lan Qiao muttered: "Then why don't you know?"

"Have you seen it?" He was interrupted by Li Jingshu before he finished speaking, "Have you ever seen with your own eyes how miserable it is for a person to be executed by Ling Chi?"

"have you seen"

"I have seen."

Li Jingshu leaned against the fence, took a deep breath and said: "That was when the Hu Weiyong case was at its most violent. The whole city was looking for Hu Party members. All those who had anything to do with the Hu Weiyong case were not immune. Thirty thousand

Many people were implicated. At that time, Cheng Shilang of the Ministry of Rites was found to have contacts with Hu Weiyong, and the entire family was imprisoned. Originally, the decision was to be beheaded, but the eldest daughter of the Cheng family continued to complain in prison and wrote a bloody letter on the wall.

Eventually, he angered the late emperor and changed it to Lingchi to alert the world."

"It was in the most prosperous downtown in the capital. Miss Cheng was imprisoned in a prison car and drove past. For a time, the streets of the capital were empty, and almost all of them gathered at the execution ground to watch the execution." Li Jingshu closed her eyes slightly, as if recalling an extremely terrifying past event,

"Miss Cheng was originally a famous and talented woman in the capital, dignified and beautiful, but she was stripped of all dignity in the execution ground."

"For the convenience of execution, prisoners will be stripped naked beforehand. This alone is enough to attract people's attention." Li Jingshu said sadly, "The young lady who used to be aloof and aloof is now wearing shackles and being slaughtered naked.

Just thinking about this huge gap, few people can bear it. The executioner cut her throat with the first knife, leaving her unable to shout and could only make a low gasping sound, and then started from her arms

, first cut off a piece of meat the size of a bean skin from the forearm, then casually throw it to the ground for anyone to pick it up."

"That's enough," Lan Qiao interrupted her angrily, "Don't say any more."

"I'm sorry, Brother Qiao, I didn't mean to make you suffer." Li Jingshu walked slowly to Lan Qiao's side, caressing his back and said, "Just think about it, Xiao Yegui is the number one in the world on the Qingcheng list.

Beauty, how many people in the capital must have fantasies about her? Once she is taken to the execution ground and faced with thousands of pairs of eyes, how can ordinary people understand her grievance, shame and despair? If I were her

, I really wish I could die sooner."

"No," Lan Qiao gasped, "I don't want her to die, and of course I won't let her go to the capital to be humiliated. I will definitely save her in the battle tomorrow, even if it means risking my own life."

"Brother Qiao." Li Jingshu gently covered Lan Qiao's mouth, "There is also me, I will accompany you."

"You should stay well in this temple tomorrow and don't go out." Lan Qiao took her hand away and said, "By then there will be chaos outside and it will be too dangerous."

"Okay, Brother Qiao still cares about me." Seeing Lan Qiao's mood gradually calming down, Li Jingshu smiled and looked at the dirt tunnel, "Why don't you take a look at the chicken you cooked for me first to make sure it doesn't burn."

Lan Qiao was startled and hurriedly opened the manhole cover, looked at it and said: "It's okay, it's okay, the heat is a bit stronger, it can still be eaten."

Li Jingshu rolled her eyes at him, pretending to be coquettish and said: "What do you mean it can still be eaten?"

"I'm not lying to you." Lan Qiao said, taking out the chicken regardless of how hot it was and tearing it into two halves, "It's just that the parts inside are a little dry. It would be nice if there was some sesame oil."

"It seems that I have to rely on myself in the end." Li Jingshu smiled slightly, took out the oil bottle that Li Qi gave her in the afternoon from the bamboo basket, and poured the remaining sesame oil in the bottle onto the gravel in the pit: "

How about it, do you admire this fairy?"

"I admire you so much." Lan Qiao looked at the flames caused by the sesame oil and hurriedly put the chicken back into the pit with the help of the fire. After frying the inside and outside until it was crispy and golden, he took it out again and said happily, "This

It’s ready.”

Li Jingshu took half of the roast chicken, tore it apart with her hands regardless of the image, and sat on the edge of the pit to eat.

"Eat slowly, I'll show you how hungry you are." Lan Qiao said with a smile, "Don't choke."

Li Jingshu finished half of the chicken in a hurry, and slowly looked at Lanqiao with greedy eyes.

"And, and." Lan Qiao looked at the remaining half of the chicken in his hand, and handed it to Li Jingshu with a wry smile.

"Brother Qiao really treats me like a rice penny." Li Jingshu complained loudly, unscrewing a chicken drumstick and giving it back to Lan Qiao, saying, "This is for you to eat." She picked up half of the chicken with the drumstick missing and started chewing again.

Lan Qiao helplessly finished the chicken leg. When he looked at Li Jingshu again, the roast chicken in her hand had turned into chicken skeletons on the ground.

When he saw Li Jingshu looking directly at him again, he spread his hands and said, "It's really gone this time."

"One more thing." Li Jingshu said with a smile.

"where"

"do not move."

Li Jingshu suddenly stretched out her finger, scraped a little oil stain on Lan Qiao's mouth, smiled sweetly and said, "There is more."

As she spoke, she put her finger to her mouth, took a sip, then patted her belly and said, "Now I'm really full."

Lan Qiao looked at her movements and couldn't help but feel hot secretly on his face. He didn't know what to say, but suddenly he heard a muffled thunder, and Li Jingshu was so frightened that she huddled into his arms.
