Chapter 188 Three Prisoner Carts
Chapter 188 Three Prisoner Carts
Her heart was beating excitedly, her face was flushed and could not be wiped off, her eyes were tightly closed. This was the first time in more than ten years that she was held in the arms of a young man.
At this moment, Qinghe felt very at ease and safe in her heart. The man's strong arms were like a gentle harbor, and her little boat was moored in it, and everything was calm and peaceful.
She finally understood why she felt lost.
From outside the city gate, at first sight in the morning, she developed a strong curiosity about this mysterious man. When she was in danger, this young man fell from the sky and completely captured her heart.
When a young girl is in love, her thoughts are nothing more than this.
Everything I had envisioned and fantasized about before seemed to have come true at this moment.
Qing He closed her eyes, thinking quietly about herself, singing softly, picking lotus flowers, strolling and planting flowers. In the distance, a man was chopping firewood, and occasionally a bird could be heard singing.
Her face smiled, and beautiful hope brought out the dimples on her cheeks. She had never been so happy in her life.
Just one glance, it was like meeting the enemy from the previous life.
"what are you laughing at?"
Looking at the dimples on her face, Du Fang couldn't help but feel a little puzzled. This woman didn't seem to be afraid at all. She had just been to the gates of hell and didn't even know that someone was going to take the bone jade from her body.
Du Fang said: "Then do you know that those two people just now wanted to take the bone jade from your body?"
"I know!" Qinghe said softly with her eyes still closed.
"Then you still laugh!"
"If you laugh again I'll throw you down. I still have to go to the city!"
Qing He finally opened her eyes, jumped down, and her face drooped. "Can you take me there?"
Du Fang didn't want to take her at first, but when he thought about the fact that this woman was carrying the bone jade, if he just left, he would be captured by the people from the Fire Sword Sect in the blink of an eye.
He didn't say anything. Qing He thought he was going to abandon her like last time, so she hurriedly said:
"I can... treat you to a meal!"
"it is good!"
The second time she entered the city, it was much smoother. There wasn't even anyone checking her. Du Fang kept looking around on the street and asked her, "How much money do you have?"
"Not much, just fifty-three copper coins, enough for the two of us to eat!" She counted out a string of copper coins from her bag. Du Fang saw that she packed it very carefully, and it was obvious that she was a simple person in her daily life.
I thought just eating something casually would be fine.
As soon as we entered the restaurant, the waiter came over and asked, "You two guests look very happy. Did you make a fortune?"
Du Fang flicked his cloth clothes and said with a smile:
"Do I look like I've made a fortune?"
The waiter shook his head and said, "Not likely. Most people who can come here to eat are temporary workers in the city. Sir, you don't look like a worker. Are you sure you came from far away?"
Du Fang shook his head and lied, "I've been here for almost a month. What food do you have here that's cheap and affordable?"
The waiter said, "Would you like some leek dumplings, chicken noodle soup, and the best white flour buns?"
Du Fang said, "Ten buns, two bowls of noodles, nothing else."
The waiter responded and left.
Not long after, the waiter brought the noodles. He was just about to eat them when suddenly people on the street started running, shouting, "Here they come, here they come!"
Everyone in the noodle shop put down their bowls and chopsticks and rushed to the door.
Du Fang felt a little strange, so he stood up and moved closer to the door. Before he could squeeze out, he heard the clang clang of a gong.
Two officers wearing tall hats with red tassels held up a large sign asking them to be quiet and keep away. Behind them, a pair of people followed with the sound of gongs and drums. An official in official uniform rode a tall horse in the middle of the team, looking smugly at the passers-by on the roadside.
Behind them was a pair of Yulin Guards, wearing distinctive armor, among whom were powerful cultivators of the fourth or fifth realm. Du Fang didn't quite understand why there were powerful cultivators among the Yulin Guards.
But when he thought about the two demons he had just killed, he realized that the support coming from Jinghai was to deal with the elite Yulin Guards in the city.
obviously.
The imperial system of Zhengyangzhou is different from that of Nancangzhou.
Among the three carriages brought in at this time, in the first prisoner carriage was a child of about thirteen or fourteen years old, with a sinister face.
The boy's thin body formed a sharp contrast with the thick prison wood.
In his hands, the chains looked as thick as his frail arms.
Du Fang was horrified when he saw this. He didn't understand what crime such a young child had committed. Suddenly, someone behind him said, "Don't underestimate this child. He killed a family of seven in their sleep. He's a born bad seed and deserves to be beheaded!"
Three people, three people who were to be executed.
It seems that this is the person who those two evil people said was carrying the bone jade.
Frightened, he immediately grabbed Qinghe's hand, fearing that someone would secretly take her away from behind.
He squeezed out hard, trying to identify who was there to make up the numbers.
Just at this moment, the child turned his head and shot two vicious eyes at him. When he saw Du Fang's expression, he actually smiled.
Du Fang grinned and tried hard to smile back at him, but his mouth was grinning but the smile was frozen on his face.
On the death card behind the child's neck was a big red "X" and a red "behead" written in black pen around a circle.
He wanted to take a closer look, but the prison van had already pulled over and the crowded crowd squeezed him into a small corner.
At this time, the second prison car also came over. It was almost as he guessed, with a woman in it. The only strange thing was that this female prisoner had her hair combed neatly and even had a light makeup on her face. On her bright and charming face, there were two curved emerald willow-leaf eyebrows and a round and straight nose under her long eyelashes.
"This woman is so beautiful!"
Qinghe exclaimed in praise.
For some reason, when Du Fang saw the prisoner for the first time, he immediately thought of the ancient paintings of ladies that he had copied when he was a child.
The woman seemed to have a fairy-like aura in the sunshine, without a speck of dust on her.
Some people around began to discuss in low voices:
"She is indeed a famous beauty in Quzhou City. Alas, it's such a pity! She is so beautiful, but she chose to be a prostitute and bit off the prince's penis. If she doesn't deserve to die, who should die?"
Someone chuckled quietly, "The prince deserves this disaster. It's a pity for those dozens of beautiful ladies. They will become widows from now on!"
Du Fang listened to the discussions around him and looked at her expression. The beautiful prostitute had a slightly tilted mouth, a slightly upturned chin, and an expression of arrogance and disdain on her face.
The onlookers all let out a soft "oh" at the same time, and there were sounds of admiration and regret. Although they were very soft, they were everywhere.
Du Fang also sighed in his heart. He couldn't understand why such a beautiful woman would fall into prostitution and become a death row prisoner.
The third prison van was empty.
No, something's wrong!
