After walking through the commotion and arriving at the end of the street, Lin Jingmo failed to find anyone. He was about to go home when he turned around and saw Shang Shixu's figure in the narrow alley at a quiet corner. He saw Shang Shixu standing in the deep alley, seemingly.
She was waiting for someone, so she hid in a pile of debris in the alley, covered the bamboo basket with an abandoned bamboo mat, hid herself in the bamboo basket and looked out through the gap in the bamboo basket.
She narrowed her eyes to a slit and stared in the direction of Shang Shixu, judging him in her heart: Is he waiting for someone? Ah, I didn't expect that Shang Shixu would usually be as cold as ice and reject people thousands of miles away, but now he is waiting for someone.
Others will be so anxious.
He turned around and looked around again, but saw no one coming. Lin Jingmo continued to curse: Could it really be a tryst with a lover?
Her heart was complicated, and she didn't notice at all that the soil in the bamboo basket fell off because she turned the bamboo basket upside down, and scattered on her head, face and body. She was afraid that Shang Shixu would find her hiding here, but she didn't want to
Dare to stretch out his hand to brush the dirt away, but could only silently blow the dust in front of his nose with his mouth: Damn Shang Shixu, he really knows how to choose a place, it's not just a tryst. If we really have a good relationship, my reputation is already spread far and wide, so I'm not afraid of adding more to it.
A crime!
Just as Lin Jingmo was planning this, a man walked in from the end of the alley. He approached Shang Shixu with a mysterious look. When he saw Shang Shixu, he took out a bunch of cards to show him, and then stretched out his hands to cover his mouth and ears.
I don’t know what I said in front of Shang Shixu.
Shang Shixu's brows instantly locked. He turned to look at the man and said softly: "Did King Zhao really arrange this?"
Hearing this, the man lowered his head slightly, slowly put his hand behind his back, suddenly took out a short knife from his waist, and stabbed it deeply into Shang Shixu's abdomen. Then he pulled out the short knife with force and stabbed it in again.
Shang Shixu was not on guard, and was stabbed twice before he could parry. He frowned in pain, holding the handle of the short knife that was deeply pierced into his body with both hands. Then he pushed the man away forcefully and said: "
You are not from Prince Zhao’s Mansion at all!”
The man was pushed to the other wall of the narrow alley.
Shang Shixu took the opportunity to cover his wound and walked toward the alley. The man refused to give up. He pulled out a dagger from his waist and chased after him. He happened to reach Lin Jingmo's hiding place, and the man reached out and grabbed Shang Shixu's shoulder to stop him.
After killing him, he pushed him against the corner, raised the dagger and stabbed Shang Shixu in his vitals!
At the critical moment, Lin Jingmo came out of the bamboo basket behind him, picked up a stick from the debris on the side, and hit the man hard.
The man got a sap on his back and fell down immediately.
Shang Shixu was too injured and weak and slowly fell down against the wall. Lin Jingmo jumped out of the pile of debris and ran to Shang Shixu to support him so that he would not fall.
Shang Shixu's pale face was like a piece of cold jade, and his knuckled hands were full of blood. He was usually meticulous, but at this moment, a few strands of broken hair were hanging down from his forehead, and more leakage was coming from the corners of his mouth. He looked at Lin Jingmo weakly, his eyes empty and empty.
Desolate and weak, he said: "Lin Jingmo... leave quickly..."
However, Lin Jingmo managed to hold him up and said: "Why are you leaving? I haven't knocked down the murderer yet? I just thought you were meeting your lover here, but I didn't expect it to be a burly man. It was so exciting that he almost
I'll stab you to death!" After saying that, he said softly: "Your injury is very serious, I will help you go out to find a doctor."
Just as he was about to leave, several big men walked in from outside the alley. They were different from Shang Shixu. They had dark skin and simple clothes. They looked like farmers at work.
They saw Lin Jingmo and Shang Shixu, and then looked at the man lying on the ground. He drew his sword and rushed to them quickly. Lin Jingmo looked at Shang Shixu in embarrassment and whispered: "These people don't look good at this person.
..."
However, Shang Shixu suddenly let go of Lin Jingmo, pushed her aside forcefully, and fell to the ground. He looked at Lin Jingmo fiercely and said, "You bitch! I told you that I am not interested today! Why don't you hurry up?"
Get out!"
Lin Jingmo was stunned and didn't know why.
The big men walked in, pointed the tips of their knives at Shang Shixu and said, "You bitch! Don't play tricks!"
Lin Jingmo realized that these big men were in the same group as the people on the ground. It turned out that they just wanted to let him escape.
Thinking of this, Lin Jingmo stood next to Shang Shixu. Without saying a word, he pulled out the hairpin on his head, stretched out his hand and said, "If you want some silver, I can give it to you, but he is injured and will die if he is not treated quickly!" One of them took her jewelry and turned it on his hand. It turned out to be pure gold. He signaled to several others and then asked Lin Jingmo: "You care about him so much. Let me ask you, who are you?"
Ah!"
Without waiting for Lin Jingmo to answer, Shang Shixu on the ground said: "She is just a good mistress of mine. Like you, she is also a poor person who suffers."
The man didn't believe it. He looked at the jewelry in his hand and said, "Poor? Look at her dress, she doesn't look like a poor person!"
Shang Shixu said: "Although she is just a girl from Fireworks Alley, she is actually my beloved, so naturally she is dressed in an extraordinary way."
Another person heard the words and said to the first person: "Yes, brother, Shang Shixu has done so many evil things. He is a common man and does all kinds of evil. He must have gained a lot of possessions. The mistress around him must be well-dressed!"
The first person nodded and said to Lin Jingmo: "You are also a pitiful person. You have been subjected to his lustful power and have become inferior to others. In this case, as long as you promise me not to go out and talk nonsense, I can let you go."
Lin Jingmo shook his head and said, "You little thieves, do you know who he is?"
Several people laughed and said: "He turned into ashes, and we also know him. He is Shang Shixu, the number one minister in the imperial court, the Minister of Household Affairs!"
Lin Jingmo was shocked when he heard this and said: "Since you know his identity, do you know what the crime is for assassinating an imperial official on the street?"
Several people looked at each other, and one of them said: "Humph, we were originally criminals in the imperial court, but now we are not afraid of death. If we want to drag this dog official to hell with us, are we still afraid of one more crime?"
Lin Jingmo said: "Humph, if you are not afraid of death, then your family and friends are not afraid either? Murdering a court official will be punished by death! The Minister of Household Affairs is from the second rank, but he can punish the three clans. I have already remembered your name.
Judging from your appearance and accent, you should be from Nanling, right? I think you guys can hide in exile, but your family may not be able to take refuge at any time, right?"
When several people heard this, they were not afraid. Instead, they said: "Oh, you stinky bitch! You are really looking for death! Since you have remembered our appearance, take us away together!"
After that, Lin Jingmo and Shang Shixu had their mouths gagged with cloth, sacks were put on their heads, and they were carried by several people and put on the carriage.
