After a long time, the little boy lying on the table woke up first.
His eyelids moved slightly and he slowly opened them. He looked around and suddenly sat up.
He looked at Xiao Chen and others in horror: "Who are you and where are you? Mother, mother..."
Seeing the woman lying next to him, the little boy was shaking and shouting loudly for his mother, while his eyes were frantically paying attention to the people around him.
Perhaps because the intoxicating effect of the drug had dissipated, the woman moved her head slightly, coughed twice, and slowly opened her eyes.
Looking at the unfamiliar environment around him, he sat up suddenly, held the child in his arms, and looked at the people around him warily.
Xiao Chen remained silent and smiled slightly at the woman.
She seemed to feel that Xiao Chen had no ill intentions, and seemed to feel that it was inappropriate for her to sit on the table in front of everyone. The woman hurriedly pulled the child and slipped off the table.
"Excuse me, sir, where is this place? How come we, mother and son, are here?" After saluting Xiao Chen, the woman tried her best to calm down the fear in her heart and asked softly.
"This is the inn in Zuo'anmen in the capital. My wife was thrown into a ditch ten miles away. My subordinates found her and rescued her." In order to relieve the fear in the other party's heart, Xiao Chen said with a smile on his face.
Smile and speak as gently as possible.
The woman stopped talking and seemed a little unconvinced by Xiao Chen's words. She just pulled the child and looked up and down, as if checking for any injuries.
Seeing that the other party seemed to be very guarded against him, Xiao Chen smiled softly: "Madam dressed like this, is she working as a servant in a rich family? Did she offend someone, was drugged by someone, and was abandoned in a ditch. This
The weather is freezing outside, are they going to freeze the wife and children to death?"
Xiao Chen pretended not to know the origin of the other party, but just told them about their current situation and the dangers they had faced. If this woman was smart, she should know that she was the savior of her and her child. For the person who saved her,
As long as it's not too secretive, general information should be revealed.
Sure enough, after listening to Xiao Chen's words, the woman held the child beside her and knelt on the ground together.
"Thank you for saving my life, sir." After saying that, he kowtowed on the ground.
Xiao Chen stood up hurriedly, stopping the woman from continuing to kowtow: "It's just a small effort, madam, there is no need to perform this grand ceremony. Since you have woken up, this is just a false alarm. Madam, if it is convenient, please tell us your address. I'm fine."
Arrange for your subordinates to send you back safely."
His straight facial features are smiling, and his face is sincere.
The woman slowly stood up and did not answer Xiao Chen's question. Instead, she asked tentatively in a low voice: "How dare I ask my benefactor Gao's name so that I can repay you in the future."
Xiao Chen chuckled lightly and reached out to touch the child's head: "We also accidentally discovered that the woman and child were in danger, so we did it casually, so there is no need to repay us. But, we want to freeze you mother and child to death, the other party
He must be a very scheming person. He did this just to turn your death into an accident. After returning home, Madam, you should be more careful."
Seeing how cautious the other party was, Xiao Chen became more certain that this person was Li An's wife. And the child next to her must also be Li An's youngest son.
As for Liu Ruyan, at this moment, her heart felt as if she had knocked over a five-flavor bottle. She had all kinds of flavors.
After drinking the tea brought by his butler, he was poisoned and passed out. Then he was thrown into the wilderness and prepared to freeze to death.
She really couldn't understand when she had offended the housekeeper and let him kill her next time.
Tears welled up in her eyes, and Liu Ruyan could not help but sob softly.
"To be honest, sir, we, mother and son, were framed by our housekeeper and ended up like this. I really don't know why he did what he did. He charmed me and the child and even changed us into servants' clothes. This is what he wanted to do.
He killed us and wanted me to find our bodies."
The more she thought about it, the more uncomfortable she became, and Liu Ruyan burst into tears.
The child, who was already helpless, hugged his mother tightly and cried together when he saw this scene.
Xiao Chen secretly sneered in his heart, it was indeed Wang Wencheng's handiwork. Was the King of Han just venting his anger on Li An and not continuing to actively hold him accountable?
"Madam, please don't cry. Since this is murder, you should report it to the police. But since you met me, I will seek justice for you. Please also tell me your home address so that we can capture the culprit and report it to the police together."
"
Xiao Chen said with a smile.
Hearing what Xiao Chen said, Liu Ruyan stopped crying, raised her sleeves and wiped the tears on her face: "My family lives in..."
As soon as the words came out of his mouth, he began to hesitate again, and the rest of his words were stuck in his stomach.
As the Minister of Justice, Li An's housekeeper murdered his wife and children. If this incident were spread, it would have a great impact on Li An's reputation.
Thinking of this, Liu Ruyan's words suddenly changed: "The civilian woman thanked the benefactor for his kindness and rescued my mother and son. It was already a great kindness. How dare I continue to trouble the benefactor to seek justice for me? The civilian woman now has to do it herself.
Go to the government and sue the vicious butler."
Faced with Liu Ruyan's sudden change, Xiao Chen didn't know what she was thinking.
Originally, I wanted to hide it from the other party, not wanting her to worry too much.
However, now it seems that Li An has told Liu Ruyan everything about the affairs of the court. Otherwise, she would not be framed and would not dare to report it to the official.
"Madam, do you know who I am?" Xiao Chen smiled faintly.
Liu Ruyan raised her head and looked at Xiao Chen in surprise: "The woman just asked about the benefactor's name, but the benefactor didn't answer."
Xiao Chen had his hands clasped behind his back, and his straight facial features were covered with a smile, just like an elegant scholar.
"I am Xiao Chen, the purple-clad captain of Dongchang."
"Ah..." Liu Ruyan opened her mouth wide and could not close it for a long time.
A few days ago, my husband encouraged hundreds of officials to jointly submit a letter, and the one who was held accountable was the Colonel in Purple Clothes. The hard ancient sword in the living room of his home was also found by the Colonel in Purple Clothes and chopped into pieces with one blow.
Now, the captain in purple clothes is the savior of his mother and son.
This, this change in the relationship between before and after is too incredible.
"It turns out to be Lord Ziyi." Liu Ruyan knelt on the ground again with a "pop", "My husband was forced to have no choice, so he targeted the Lord in court. They say that the Lord handles cases like a god, and is not afraid of the powerful. A commoner woman.
I dare to beg Lord Ziyi here to seek justice for my master."
As he spoke, he ignored the bewildered looks of the children next to him and kowtowed to himself.
"Li An is not bad in nature, but he is also incompetent. Wang Wencheng, who is hiding as the housekeeper in Shangshu Mansion, is the key. If you want to save Li An, Madam must cooperate with our Dongchang and not hide anything anymore."
