Chapter 392 Whole Fish Feast (5)
As soon as these words came out, I don't know if it was Wen Mingtang's illusion, but I always felt that the noise around me seemed to be much quieter.
Wen Mingtang looked at Princess Liyang, who was obsessed with the velvet flower fan, fanning the fan in his hand every now and then. She occasionally glanced at Zhao Mengzhuo who was lying on the ground, with a look of disgust in her eyes.
Subconsciously clenched her skirt and robe, took a deep breath, and was about to speak, when the crowd that was still gathering around suddenly dispersed automatically.
I don't know if it's Wen Mingtang's illusion, but I always feel that the ground under my feet is also shaking at this time.
Following the sound of well-trained footsteps, Wen Mingtang looked up and saw a hole was torn open in the circle of people, and officers and soldiers in armor appeared in front of the torn hole. The closer the footsteps came, the armored officers and soldiers rushed towards the Star Picking Tower like a sharp arrow piercing through the crowd of onlookers.
The smile on the face of Princess Liyang, who was still shaking the velvet flower fan and sarcasm a moment ago, froze visible to the naked eye. Ignoring Wen Mingtang's gaze towards him, he turned his head and said to the guard beside him, who responded and pushed him away. Overlooking the surrounding pedestrians, he broke through the crowd and cleared the way, obviously intending to leave.
Princess Liyang seemed to have issued an urgent order, the guards did not dare to be negligent, and their actions to push away the crowd were also extremely rude, a woman who was not standing still might as well fall into the crowd, instantly disturbing the crowd who were only watching immobile crowd.
The guards ignored the screams of the fallen woman and continued to clear the way. The friends and relatives of the woman who fell down became anxious when they saw this, and cursed loudly.
Princess Liyang and his party didn't have time to pay attention to it, they just still urged the guards to clear the way, but the act of breaking the way stopped abruptly halfway through.
Seeing the officers and soldiers who suddenly appeared in front of him, the guard who was walking forward as if there was no one else a moment ago paused, turned his head to look at Princess Liyang who issued the order, and Princess Liyang, who was behind the guard who cleared the way, waved impatiently. Waving his hand, the guard understood, put his hand on the saber at his waist, and was about to speak to the officer and soldier on the opposite side, when the officer and soldier on the opposite side pulled out the knife quickly, then raised the knife with his hand and dropped it, and slashed over with it.
Looking at the style of Princess Liyang and his party, I also know that they are arrogant and arrogant towards these ordinary officers and soldiers on weekdays, but they didn't expect the opponent to slash at him suddenly, even though the guards were skilled enough to retreat in time. Looking up, but the opponent's hands are not slow, so in the end the opponent still drew a bloodstain on the chest.
Although no flesh and blood were injured, the skin trauma was inevitable.
He was still raising his head a moment ago, and the extremely impatient Princess Liyang seemed to be startled by the knife, a rare panic appeared on his sneering face before, and he raised his voice: "I am Liyang..."
Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by officers and soldiers with knives: "I am waiting for Nan Yawei, Suwei Jingshi's duty is, the Dali Temple minister fell into the star picking building, and there was a serious case under investigation before his death. The cause of death was strange. Those who are not allowed to leave without questioning."
Princess Liyang's expression sank when she heard this, and looked at the crowded crowd around her. The woman who had just been pushed down by her guards in the crowd had already been helped up by relatives and friends.
The hairpin that was originally combed meticulously has been crooked, two hairpins have fallen out, and the face is even more dirty, but the most serious thing is the abnormally bent hand. I don't know if it is broken or dislocated. At this time, I was bowing my head and wiping tears under the comfort of my relatives and friends.
Although it was Princess Liyang who cursed the woman just now when she saw the woman being pushed down in the crowd and was about to be trampled on, the person who dared to curse in front of Princess Liyang was certainly not an ordinary person.
Princess Liyang was stopped, so when she turned around, she also recognized the group of people. The woman who cursed her just now was in the middle of the group, and she was the county head of Xingkang, who was also from the clan.
Even though he didn't behave like Liyang county magistrate, the Xingkang county magistrate didn't necessarily frighten her when he was angry. At this time, he was comforting the woman who was lowering her head and wiping her tears, while glancing at her coldly.
The Princess Liyang, who was looking at the eyes, felt cold all over, and glared at the group of the Lord Shangxingkang, and suddenly remembered a past event, and his heart shuddered even more.
Both belong to the clan, and they have known each other since childhood. Although the Xingkang County Lord didn't look like a troublemaker in normal times, it's really hard to say that he was really ruthless.
You can't go head-to-head with this group of Nanya officers and soldiers and force your way out of the crowd. The Xingkang County Lord and his party are close at hand, and because they have a large group of people, they also bring many guards. For the first time in her life, Princess Liyang felt an emotion called "fear", and quickly called the guard who was scratched by the officers and soldiers to her side, ordering him to protect herself.
The sordidness here is only between the winks of a few people. Although Wen Mingtang does not know the identities of these people, he is clearly aware of the discord between these people.
But it was not the time to care about these people at this time, Wen Mingtang looked up at Lin Fei and the others who came in behind the officers and soldiers.
Zhao You, who was always cheerful and heartless on weekdays, saw such a situation, his eyes turned red for no reason, his nose was sore, and the tall man began to wipe his tears in front of everyone.
Just now, the two fists were no match for the four hands, and the despair of struggling to stop but being powerless surged up at this moment.
The noisy crowd became quiet with the appearance of the officers and soldiers. Those who had touched Zhao Mengzhuo unscrupulously at the beginning also got up and walked aside at this time, and the buddies who stopped them didn't even need the orders of those few. Consciously stepped aside.
This scene is really inexplicably ironic!
As soon as the officers and soldiers arrived, the demons and ghosts began to retreat.
Wen Mingtang sighed, lowered his eyes and walked aside, making way for them.
At the same time, looking at the group of officers and soldiers in armor beside Lin Fei and the others, Wen Mingtang was grateful but puzzled: I don't know where Lin Fei transferred this group of officers and soldiers.
Where did you call it from? Lin Fei walked in together with a tall officer and soldier with a square face beside him, looking at Zhao Mengzhuo who was lying on the ground in front of him, a trace of sadness flashed in Lin Fei's eyes, but he did not immediately go forward like Liu Yuan and others, Instead, he turned his head and cupped his hands towards the officers and soldiers beside him, handed over his waist badge, and thanked him: "Thank you!"
"It doesn't matter," the officers and soldiers with a national character face quickly bowed their hands to return the salute, and said, "It is our responsibility to stay in the capital of the guard, and it is also within the scope of our responsibility for Mr. Zhao to have an accident in the capital." At this point, he took over Waist card, paused, and said again, "The prince is now on top of us, and we are just obeying orders."
Lin Fei nodded, thanked him again, and sighed in his heart: I didn't expect my brother's transfer order to come in handy at this moment.
Just as he left with his front foot, his brother caught up with his back foot and stuffed the waist card into his hand.
Although Lin Fei is not as good at investigating cases as Lin Fei, but Zhao Mengzhuo had an accident in the Zhaixing Tower, and he knew that someone would stop him. At this time, officers and soldiers who can deter everyone are most useful.
