To say it is an exaggeration is not an exaggeration.
The officials prepared a bamboo chariot to rescue the woman, as well as a thin blanket and curtain hat.
These are Ji Dong's orders.
When a woman is humiliated, she will definitely not want to show the scars all over her body in front of the world. This can not only preserve some dignity for the victim, but also avoid too many strange speculations by the people.
But the exposed corner of her dress that was stained with blood was still noticed by many people.
Xu Ying pushed herself up with difficulty and slowly looked around through the gauze hanging in front of her hat.
It had been a long time since she had seen the outside world. The sunlight was a bit dazzling but very warm. The people watching around her had curiosity in their eyes, as well as pity and sympathy.
She was very grateful to these officials for their attentiveness and thoughtful consideration for her——
But that's not what she needs.
The next moment, everyone saw the woman on the bamboo chariot raising her hand with difficulty and lifting the blanket covering her body to the ground.
The original color of the plain dress on the woman's body could no longer be discerned, and patches of dark or dark blood were covered layer by layer. Her naked feet were covered with wounds, which made people feel shocking——
Surprised gasps came from all around.
At this time, the woman took off the curtain hat again and showed the same scarred face in front of everyone.
The woman's cheeks looked thin and sunken, and her bloodshot eyes faced the probing gaze of everyone without any sign of evading or flinching.
These are not her fault, so she is not afraid of being seen, she is only afraid of the truth being buried!
The bamboo chariot was carried out of the other courtyard.
Among the crowd, Young Master Zhou looked at this scene and frowned slightly.
He just lost a money bag, and he thought it didn't matter whether he recovered it or not, but he didn't expect that it would lead to such a case... This woman looked so tough that it was heartbreaking, and I didn't know who had attacked her.
Who could be so inhumane?
The young master was filled with anger, but he never noticed that an unattractive man in front of him was pointing a poison dart at the person on the bamboo chariot.
This matter had spread in the west of the city, and the young master soon got the news, telling him that he must take this woman's life.
Seeing that the bamboo chariot had arrived in front of him, and just as the poisoned dart in the man's hand was about to fly away, a stone flew from nowhere and hit him hard on the arm.
"Ding!"
The poison dart and the stone fell to the ground at the same time, and the slight sound did not attract anyone's attention.
The man's expression suddenly changed, he turned his head to look in the direction where the stones were flying, and at the same time took out a poison dart and held it in his hand.
At this time, someone behind him tapped him on the shoulder.
Following these two gentle taps, there was also a moment of stinging pain.
The man turned his head suddenly. Before he could see who it was, he felt a numbness in his shoulders. Soon the numbness spread to his entire arm, and even showed signs of spreading throughout his body!
The person who patted his shoulder just now seemed to have pierced something into his body!
Just when the man was feeling frightened, he suddenly heard someone beside him trembling in fright and shouting: "Ah, sir, someone here wants to kill someone!"
A man points to the poison dart in his hand.
There was an explosion all around, and everyone scattered.
"He still has a sharp weapon hidden in his hand!"
"...Could he be trying to silence someone?"
The man gritted his teeth tightly and wanted to turn around and leave, but his movements became extremely slow due to the numbness all over his body.
Several officers quickly stepped forward and restrained him.
Xu Ying, who was on the bamboo chariot, gathered some strength and tightened her fingers slightly on the bamboo chariot.
As expected, he really didn’t want to give her a chance to speak!
As soon as she left the hospital, something like this happened, and she didn’t know what dangers were waiting for her next——
"As expected of Xia Shoufu's son, his methods are really impressive! ... Under the clear sky and in broad daylight, he can still try to take my life in front of everyone!"
The woman's voice was weak, but it was enough for those nearby to hear her clearly.
"...Xia Shoufu's son?!"
Everyone was shocked.
The expressions of all the officials also changed one after another.
"Girl... the truth about this matter will be explained in detail when we get to the Yamen." The leader of the official reminded in a low voice.
"However, I'm afraid it's unknown whether I still have the life to make it to the Yamen."
A sneer appeared at the corner of Xu Ying's mouth, her voice rose a little higher, and she said to everyone: "Although I come from a mediocre background, I was not born to be bullied and humiliated! Innocent people suffered, why can't I tell the world clearly! Today, I will tell the truth.
Let me tell you...the one who kidnapped me, the one who imprisoned me in this secret room for several months, the one who humiliated and tortured me in every possible way - is all Xia Han, the second son of the chief minister of the dynasty!"
"This man was born as a Jinshi, but he is not what he looks like. He relies on his family's power and is lawless, and he cares about human life at will... The true face under the skin is a man-eating evil ghost!"
"Even if the world cannot give me justice... I will still expose his crimes to the world!"
There was overwhelming hatred in the woman's eyes, and her tone was so serious that she seemed to be using up her last bit of strength.
She knew that everything in front of her was caused by the Xu family girl, so she couldn't let go of any opportunity to speak.
"There is such a thing..."
The people watching whispered and spread the word.
Although they can't see the excitement of the Xia family, one person can't see it, two people can't see it, ten people, but hundreds of people are here, so there's nothing to be overly taboo about.
The officials all had complicated expressions.
It is said that when a woman is so humiliated, it is too late to hide it. How could there be such a person who has such disregard for his own honor and dignity?
And if the facts are really as she said, and it was the second son of the Xia family who did it, then this case...
The officials did not dare to think further. One of the attendants put the blanket over Xu Ying's body, who fell weakly on the bamboo chariot after saying those words, but she slowly took it off again with her trembling hands.
This is not a shame, it is evidence!
——She wants everyone to see this bloody evidence with their own eyes!
Seeing that she was so stubborn and refused to listen to advice, the number of onlookers increased instead of decreasing along the way. The official had to manage to change the bamboo chariot into a soft sedan midway.
But what the common people saw before was enough to spread the news throughout the capital.
Inside Xuesheng Tea House, Zhu Xiu and secret guard Xiao Wu hurried up to the second floor together.
"Has everything been done?" Xu Mingyi asked.
Zhu Xiu nodded.
"Everything was done according to the girl's instructions. Nothing went wrong. At this time, Miss Xu has already arrived at the Yamen."
As he spoke, he glanced at the secret guard beside him: "Thanks to the people sent by Mr. Wu to escort us secretly along the way."
Their own people could do these things originally, but the other party could always get ahead of them. He was afraid that being too modest would lead to trouble, so he simply gave up the opportunity to the other party.
But the other party was really helpful today.
The one named Xiao Qi was so dramatic when he played the thief that he was stunned.
Xu Mingyi nodded slightly to Wu Chao, who was sitting opposite, as a silent thank you, and then asked Xiao Wu: "How is Xiao Qi now? Is he free?"
Wu Chao looked at the girl who asked the question.
——Why do you feel that Miss Xu seems to be particularly concerned about Xiao Qi?
