Chapter 124 Why Let It Go?

The disheveled girl stumbled out of the room and ran to the woman in the bamboo hat. In the room just now, she saw with her own eyes that this heroine easily defeated the strong thugs. At this moment, she immediately grabbed this last life-saving straw.

She knew this was her only chance to survive.

When Xie Yongqing saw this scene, his expression immediately became extremely ugly.

"What else do you want to say?"

The woman in the bamboo hat turned back coldly and glanced at him.

Xie Yongqing was sweating profusely, and a look of panic flashed across his face. Then he took a deep breath, and his face gradually darkened.

"I have no grievances with the heroine. What on earth do you want to do? Why are you so pushy?"

Since he could no longer hide it, Xie Yongqing simply stopped hiding it. He has never concealed the things he has done behind the scenes over the years.

"I feel guilty today. Let's just say that today's incident has been wiped out. We don't owe each other anything. How about that?"

The woman in the bamboo hat still looked calmly.

But Shen Lingjun behind her was already filled with righteous indignation. She didn't want to meddle in other people's business today and thought it would be better to escape as soon as possible. She didn't expect that the woman in the bamboo hat who rescued her would be nosy, especially after seeing the martial arts of the woman in the bamboo hat just now, which made Shen Lingjun ready to take action again.

Especially when he saw the disheveled girl running out of that shit's room, Shen Lingjun was furious. He didn't understand what was going on?

This black shop even forces abduction and trafficking of women? To do something so outrageous to both humans and gods?

He is simply more evil than that bitch prince!

Shen Lingjun walked to the side of the disheveled girl and put his coat on her.

"Thank you, thank you..."

At this moment, the girl was trembling, looking embarrassed, and spoke tremblingly.

"Don't be afraid, you have me... and she is here to support you today, so you don't have to be afraid!"

Shen Lingjun comforted her: "What's your name? Why are you here? Did he kidnap you?"

"My, my name is...Wu, Wu Qianqian, from Wujia Village, Xunyang County. Two days ago, I, I and the people from the village came to this town to play and came to this restaurant to eat..."

"For some unknown reason, I suddenly passed out. When I woke up, I appeared here..."

"He, he wants to force me..." The girl looked frightened and pointed at Xie Yongqing not far away: "He also said that he would sell me to a brothel in Xunyang County..."

The girl stammered and upon hearing this, Shen Lingjun already understood what was going on.

My heart was extremely angry.

Sure enough, they are abducting women and forcing them into prostitution!

This black shop is even more disgusting than imagined!

"Damn it!"

Shen Lingjun had a cold face and immediately stepped forward angrily, "I thought your black shop was just for making money, but I didn't expect you would dare to kill someone!"

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, and the more she thought about it, the more frightened she became!

The waiter in the shop cheated her out of twenty taels of silver before, and if he couldn't get that much money, he would force her to stay. If the woman in the bamboo hat hadn't come to her aid, what would have happened if she was really left here?

Will she be sold into a brothel like Wu Qianqian?

Thinking of this, Shen Lingjun was extremely angry.

Xie Yongqing looked panic-stricken at this time: "Nothing, it's just her nonsense and slander... I'm doing serious business, and I will never do such a thing."

Xie Yongqing is not stupid, so he will naturally not admit it.

But how could Shen Lingjun care whether he admitted it or not?

"You still dare to quibble?"

Shen Lingjun, who was extremely angry, stepped forward quickly and kicked the middle-aged man in front of him away.

Although he had no internal strength, Shen Lingjun's martial arts skills were outstanding. With one kick, Xie Yongqing, who was obese and had been hollowed out by drinking and sex all the time, was kicked to the ground and screamed repeatedly.

Shen Lingjun had no intention of letting him go and quickly stepped forward again.

"You seek wealth and kill people, you piece of shit deserves death!"

"Tell me the truth, how many women have you kidnapped?"

"If you dare to lie even half a word, I will kill you!"

"..."

Xie Yongqing fell to the ground, clutching his head and running around, screaming repeatedly.

"Oh...it hurts, it hurts, spare my life, spare my life..."

"Stop fighting, stop fighting, I said, I said..."

"..."

On the side, the woman in a bamboo hat stood quietly. When she was about to speak, she stopped again when she saw Shen Lingjun punching and kicking Xie Yongqing.

He waited until Shen Lingjun let out a fierce breath before giving up.

Looking at Xie Yongqing lying on the ground like a dead dog, Shen Lingjun felt refreshed, as if all the grievances he had suffered these days had been vented.

On the other side, the woman in a bamboo hat stepped forward lightly, walked to Xie Yongqing, and stared at him condescendingly.

At this moment, Xie Yongqing was dying. When he noticed someone approaching, his whole body trembled.

"Don't, don't fight, I, I said..."

"..."

Outside of town.

A small village in the west.

"Thank you both for saving my little girl today. It's a great kindness..."

At the entrance of the village, a middle-aged couple cried bitterly while holding their lost daughter.

Their daughter disappeared a few days ago. They tried their best to search for her but to no avail. They almost thought that something bad had happened to her. Unexpectedly, my daughter came back today. I learned that her daughter was kidnapped and almost lost her life. It was the two heroines in front of them who saved the little girl's life. The two old men were so excited that they knelt down in gratitude.

"No, no, no, it's just a breeze."

Shen Lingjun waved her hand and helped the couple up: "You just need to be careful next time, and... you don't have to thank me..."

As she spoke, she glanced at the woman in the bamboo hat standing quietly under the tree not far away, and her eyes were amazed.

This strange woman who saved her made Shen Lingjun grateful and curious.

Not long ago, they went to the black shop owner for trouble, and then sent the girl Wu Qianqian who was bullied by the black shop owner to her home. After declining the couple's enthusiasm to stay for a meal, Shen Lingjun turned and came to the tree at the entrance of the village, looking at the strange woman under the tree.

"I don't know your name yet."

Shen Lingjun looked at her and said, "My name is Shen Lingjun, what about you?"

The woman in the bamboo hat under the tree raised her eyes slightly, revealing a pair of bright and beautiful eyes, and looked at her quietly for two times without saying a word.

Seeing this, Shen Lingjun realized that the other party might really not want to reveal his identity, and immediately did not ask any more questions: "Since you don't want to say it, I won't force you... In any case, I have to thank you for saving me and Wu Qianqian today."

The woman in the bamboo hat was silent for a moment, and said calmly: "No need."

It was still familiar words, concise and to the point.

Shen Lingjun looked at her with a bit of envy.

A few glances at the beautiful and delicate face under the bamboo hat, with unparalleled temperament, was particularly stunning.

Even Shen Lingjun had to sigh that there was such a wonderful woman in the world.

So far, Shen Lingjun didn't know many people with unparalleled appearance and unfathomable martial arts. And the most outstanding one among them was the eldest princess of the current dynasty.

However, Shen Lingjun had only heard of it and had never seen the true face of the eldest princess.

After the woman in the bamboo hat looked at her, she slowly turned around and left.

Shen Lingjun stood there, stunned for a moment, and thought of something, and immediately chased after her.

"Lady, where are you going?"

The woman in the bamboo hat paused for a moment and said lightly: "Xunyang County."

"What a coincidence, me too!"

Shen Lingjun's eyes lit up: "How about we go together, so we can take care of each other on the way?"

Shen Lingjun was about to go to Xunyang County to seek help, and she didn't know how many dangers she would encounter along the way. Now that she knew that this female hero with strong martial arts skills was also going to Xunyang County, she immediately became interested... and didn't know if she would refuse.

"Don't worry, I will never disturb you. I just, just..."

Shen Lingjun's voice gradually became smaller: "I will never cause you any trouble!"

The woman in the bamboo hat stopped and was silent for a moment.

"Okay."

Shen Lingjun's eyes suddenly lit up: "Then, thank you very much, lady!"

The woman in the bamboo hat slowly turned around and left.

There were two horses parked on the path not far away.

The woman in the bamboo hat jumped on the horse, and Shen Lingjun followed closely behind, and the two walked slowly forward.

On the way.

"Lady, can I ask you something?"

"Speak."

"Why did you let Xie Yongqing go in the restaurant before?"

Shen Lingjun couldn't help asking.

In the restaurant before, Xie Yongqing had already confessed the people behind him.

As expected, that restaurant was a black shop!

Like many black shops in the world, that black shop was engaged in overcharging customers and stealing money.

They would attack the merchants and people in the world passing by along the way, and serve them according to their appearance. If they encountered an ordinary caravan, they would ask for a big price and blackmail them. If they encountered a martial arts master with average martial arts, they would also suffer a loss.

And if those beautiful women dared to appear in the town, they would most likely not escape their clutches.

These women fell into the hands of the restaurant, and they would be sold to the next house, and the next house would quickly sell them, and finally sell these women to some shameful places.

Or they could be sold to rich families as concubines, or sold to dignitaries to play with. The worst fate was to be sold to a brothel...

These days, a woman is very valuable.

A beautiful woman is even more valuable!

Shen Lingjun was extremely angry after learning about this. Although she had heard about the existence of such a black shop in the world, the first time she encountered it, she almost couldn't restrain herself and wanted to slap the damn beast to death.

However, she was stopped by the woman in the bamboo hat beside her.

This made Shen Lingjun very puzzled.

That Xie Yongqing had already confessed the person behind him. His next home was Xie Yongan, the cousin of this Xie Yongqing, and the two were of the same lineage.

This Xie Yongan worked in a government office under Xunyang County. It was precisely because of this relationship that the brothers could secretly do such shameful things.

Since we already know who the next buyer is, we naturally cannot let Xie Yongqing go. Even if we don't kill this beast, we should send him to the government to let him be punished, right?

Although Xie Yongan works in the government office, he is just a small head of the police. Can he cover the sky with one hand?

Unexpectedly, the woman in the bamboo hat let him go and turned away. This made Shen Lingjun very puzzled. Isn't this letting the tiger go back to the mountain?

Keeping this Xie Yongqing to continue to harm others?

Along the way, Shen Lingjun finally couldn't help but asked this question.

However, the woman in the bamboo hat was still calm. She rode on the horse, the cold wind blew her hair, revealing the exquisite and beautiful face under the bamboo hat, staring at the front, not knowing what she was thinking, and her pretty face was a little thoughtful.

After a while, she retracted her gaze and said lightly: "Here you are."

"Here you are?"

Shen Lingjun was stunned, what happened?

The next second, several figures suddenly appeared in the line of sight ahead.

Shen Lingjun felt like he was facing a formidable enemy. Just when he was about to take precautions, he saw the clothes on the opponent's body. This was... the official uniform of the government?

In sight, a dozen government officials wearing official uniforms and carrying swords at their waists appeared and stopped the two of them.

The leader was sitting on the horse, with a dark and weathered face, and he glanced at the two people in front of him coldly: "According to the order of the Chaoyang County Magistrate, you two are suspected of murder. Come with me to the Yamen for interrogation and investigation. If anyone resists, shoot without mercy!”

Shen Lingjun's eyes widened suddenly, murder?

When did the two of them commit murder?

Also, how come the other party doesn’t know them?

Just as he was about to speak, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the woman in a bamboo hat looking at her lightly.

Meaningful.

it goes without saying.

…

Go all the way north, on the official road.

The weather was gradually getting colder. In the carriage, Lin Jiangnian climbed up from the girl's warm arms and wrapped himself in clothes.

"Your Highness..."

A shy and greasy voice came to his ears. Lin Jiangnian lowered his head and saw the little maid with a red face and shyly burying her head in the blanket.

"You have a good rest, I'll go out and take a look!"

Lin Jiangnian got dressed, opened the car curtain and walked out.

Outside the carriage, the motorcade was driving slowly, heading north.

According to the estimated time, we can reach Xunyang County in about two or three days.

The people sent by Lin Jiangnian had already arrived at Xunyang County one step ahead to prepare for the next move.

Lin Jiangnian raised his eyes and looked ahead. A small town appeared not far ahead.

"We are almost arriving at Xunyang County!"

Lin Jiangnian murmured to himself, seeming to think of something, with a hint of a smile on his face.

"Zhiyuan, we will meet again soon."

"Your Highness."

Lin Qingqing appeared next to Lin Jiangnian at some unknown time: "There is a small town ahead. Does Your Highness need to eat something and take a rest?"

"That's fine."

Lin Jiangnian nodded and stretched: "Don't mobilize the troops. Let everyone stay outside the town. I can just go in and take a look."

Within the town.

Lin Jiangnian walked into the town with his personal maid, followed closely by Lin Qingqing.

Along the way north, Lin Jiangnian has been to almost all the small towns along the way, and there is nothing special about the town in front of him. The town is deserted and there are not many people there. And there is only one decent restaurant in the entire town.

"Jianghu Restaurant?"

Lin Jiangnian raised his head and took a look, happy: "This name is interesting, let's go and have a look!"

Waving his hands, Lin Jiangnian led Xiaozhu and Lin Qingqing into the restaurant.

In the quiet lobby.

"The waiter!"

Lin Jiangnian looked around but saw no one, so he shouted.

No one is around in broad daylight, so no business?

"Coming!"

After a while, a waiter-like person came out of the backyard.

When he walked in, Lin Jiangnian was startled when he saw the waiter.

"Did you get beaten?"

"..."
