Lin Chong took a closer look and it was indeed like this. Although Zhou Yun's hair and clothes were all wet, the hem of her skirt was still in good condition.
It's too dark now. He was so eager to save people just now that he didn't notice it at all. From this point of view, this Zhou Yun really didn't want to commit suicide, but who would do anything to such a weak and helpless person?
Women take action?
"Otherwise, you should report it to the official. If you really have any difficulties, I can go with you."
Zhou Yun shook her head vigorously: "Forget it, no one will take care of this kind of thing when we are still in rest period. Even if we really report it to the official, there must be someone who dares to take care of it."
Lin Chong raised his eyebrows: "Is there such a thing? Did you get into trouble with a big shot?" As he said this, he imagined in his mind a playboy from a rich family raping a common girl on the street.
The story of a beautiful woman who refuses to obey, and in the end the young man wants to kill someone and silence him.
"It's okay. Don't worry, go report it to the official. I will support you." Lin Chong patted his chest and promised. As a good citizen, this kind of thing is of course everyone's responsibility and must take care of it.
Zhou Yun sighed: "Forget it, I don't want to implicate the young master, let alone you. Even the current emperor will probably have to give him three points."
Lin Chong: "Huh? Who has to give up three points to me... Emperor Long?" That's not bad! For my dignity, I must find this person out and punish him.
Zhou Yun wrung her handkerchief vigorously: "Sir, please don't ask. I see that you are dressed as a young master from a wealthy family. There is no need to delay your future career over such a thing."
Lin Chong waved his hand: "How can I have a future? I just continue to live my life as I am now. Can you just talk to someone casually and tell me what happened?"
Zhou Yun lowered her eyes: "I come from a wealthy family, I guess. My mother is a servant with no status. Once I...my master got drunk, and then they...then I was born, and the master took my mother into his care."
I actually didn’t want to stay in that house at all. I hated that place and the people who looked down on me. They robbed my things, threw things at me when I wasn’t paying attention, and then complained to them first. I hated them so much.
"As she said this, she picked up a small stone next to her and threw it into the water with all her strength.
"Then if that's the case, why don't you take your mother and leave?" Lin Chong wondered, if someone let him suffer such idleness, he would not continue to stay there.
Zhou Yun lowered her head and said in a muffled voice: "Young Master said it lightly. I also want to take my mother away from the Zhou family, but we two women are powerless and have no skills. My mother is still
She is sick and what should I do to support her after leaving the Zhou family?"
Lin Chong also thought about what he said. He ignored the influence of the ancient ideology of male superiority and female inferiority. The best destination for a woman is to marry a good family, and then never leave the house or leave the house.
There really was no way for a weak woman to get an upgrade with her mother. Lin Chong didn't know how to comfort her for a while. If he gave her a sum of money, he didn't know if she would accept it.
He was still thinking about how to comfort her and look more natural, but Zhou Yun had already trimmed her hair and stood up: "Thank you, Master, for saving your life. There is nothing I can do to repay you now, but I will not forget this love. Still.
Didn’t I ask for the young master’s name?”
"Ah, my name is Lin Chong, Lin Chong."
"It turns out to be Young Master Lin. I cannot thank you enough for your kindness. Take care, Young Master." Seeing Zhou Yun stand up, pat the dirt on her body and turn around to leave, Lin Chong stretched out his hand to stop her but finally stopped.
Even if he can help for a while, he won't be able to help her forever. If the girl can't make up her own mind, then he can't think of any good way to help her.
He thought for a while and said loudly to Zhou Yun: "If you really have any difficulties, you can take the handkerchief and go to Dali Temple to ask Guan Ying and Guan Shaoqing for help."
Although he may not really be able to help you...
But when we go out together today, we can only tell Guan Ying. If he is asked to find Wang Chengen, it is better to tell her directly that I am the emperor.
Zhou Yun stared at Lin Chong with a shocked face, and Lin Chong laughed twice: "Actually, our family has some connection with the Dali Temple Shaoqing. If you have anything to do with him, I think he should
For the sake of our family's sake, we won't risk death. Of course, I can't completely guarantee that he will help you, so if you really have no other choice, just take this and give it a try."
Zhou Yun paused for a moment: "Thank you, Mr. Lin, see you later." After saying this, she ran away quickly.
Lin Chong sat down by the river again, picked up a small stone and threw it to the lake: "Zhou Ze, look, this little girl also has the surname Zhou. Maybe she is related to you, right?"
Then I thought that Zhou Ze was not the son of a wealthy family: "It's not like we were a family five hundred years ago, right? If you are a spirit in heaven, you can help her by the way. She will have a hard time."
As he clapped his hands and prepared to leave, he saw a dark shadow passing through the darkness. Lin Chong's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that he was so unlucky to meet an assassin as soon as he came out? There would be no reward for doing good deeds.
He found a willow tree and hid behind it to check the situation first. After that black shadow, a few more blurred out, but fortunately they were not coming towards Lin Chong. A few people gathered not far away from Lin Chong and whispered.
What are they discussing.
Because they deliberately lowered their voices, Lin Chong couldn't hear what they were saying at all, but he vaguely felt that they were arguing about something.
He concentrated on hiding his breath and did not dare to make any sound, for fear that someone would accidentally silence him. Although he could not hear what was said at all, he saw something in the moonlight, a jade pendant.
It was an inn they passed by on the way to Xiangyang, where they solved a murder case. This jade pendant was the most valuable thing among the deceased's belongings and hung around Lin Chong's neck for a long time.
It wasn't until they left there that someone came to take away the jade, and also told him that someone was experimenting on the villagers.
That piece of jade pendant had a special luster and he should not be mistaken about it. It would emit a faint blue light whenever it encountered the moon. But after all, it was still a little far away. Lin Chong was not completely sure. Maybe it was the symbol of a certain sect?
He vaguely remembered that the guy who sneaked into his room in the middle of the night and planned to kill people admitted that they were members of the Heaven and Earth Sect. Regardless of whether the jade pendant was from that piece or not, they should be inseparable from the Heaven and Earth Sect, and they were probably members of the cult.
.
If this is really the case, why did they come to the capital? At that time, they speculated that the jade pendant should be a token. They might be looking for a certain blueprint. Now that they have appeared in the capital, there should be no connection between them.
