C119

"As you command." With the messenger's words, the Prefect could only bitterly laugh in response.

The messenger was busy, so he did not stay in the cell for long. After a few rounds, he left.

After they left, Zhao Bapo, the young wife and young girl in the same cell surrounded Chen Mu, and asked softly: "From their conversation just now, you seem to have been wrongly accused?"

"Whether we are wronged or not is not up to us to decide." Chen Mu Mu smiled and looked around at the hopeful faces around him. Fortunately, Yao Sanniang had not returned, otherwise, these people would have gathered at a table of mahjong, "As you all know, there are many cases of embezzlement. I was not the only one who was wrongly arrested."

His words seemed to pierce the hearts of everyone present. Their faces were filled with disappointment and sorrow as they sighed.

"Greedy officials mislead the people. How hateful."

Amongst the voices, Zhao Bapo's was the loudest. Chen Mu Mu Mu thought about it and asked: "Could it be that you were also wronged?"

Zhao Bapo shook his head, his face full of unspeakable depression, and said: "That Prefect is not a good person."

Since he wasn't caught in the wrong, why did he have to blame it on the magistrate?

"Miss Chen, you don't know, Zhao Bapo took the money to pardon the tyrant who tried to rape her daughter-in-law, causing her daughter-in-law to commit suicide out of humiliation. That's why she lost her mind and committed a grave mistake." The little daughter-in-law saw the confusion on her face and explained.

Just by listening to it, his mind was already filled with the plot. Chen Mu Mu Mu asked: "So, Zhao Bapo took a kitchen knife and hacked that bully to death?"

"You sure know how to crack a joke. That bully's physique is strong and healthy. Zhao Bapo is old, how could he be his match? The little girl answered, "At that time, we were all very angry, but unfortunately, this is how the world works. The rich and powerful are the leaders, and the eight women were not the opponent, so they were sent to prison. I'm afraid they will have to spend the rest of their lives there."

Fortunately, Zhao Bapo's blade was not very deep. Otherwise, even if that scumbag died, the eight women would not be able to live.

"Tch, who cares about living!" Zhao Bapo spat at the ground, and said fiercely: "If you give me the chance, let me kill that scumbag, I can throw away my life!"

Chen Mu listened attentively, admitting or denying anything.

No matter how many comments were made, they would not return to the past. If Zhao Bapo missed the chance, then he would regret it for the rest of his life.

But... What does it have to do with her?

"You're not like us." Zhao Bapo finished his indignation, he stared at her with shining eyes, "You have been wrongly accused, and now with the senior messenger personally investigating, I believe it won't be long before you get your innocence."

This was necessary. She was innocent to begin with, and even without this official investigation, she would still be innocent.

As for this messenger, his name was out in the open. As for whether or not he could help her prove her innocence, that would only be a suspense.

However, why were they so concerned about her?

She didn't seem to know any of them, did she?

"I hope so." Chen Mu Mu Mu wasn't willing to continue this topic, so he replied, "The Senior Messenger has arrived. If any of you have any grievances, the case will definitely be reversed for you."

"The messenger is so busy, and there are so many prisoners in the prison. How could he possibly be busy?" The little daughter-in-law knew her own limits. "We are just commoners. If it wasn't for luck, we would have to stay here forever."

She said that luck was luck, but why were their eyes staring at her? Was she their lucky chance?

She was overthinking things. If she crossed the river and couldn't protect herself, who would be so full of themselves as to do something that had nothing to do with them?

Naturally … Pretend not to understand, pretend not to know.

"There will be opportunities." Chen Mu Mu Mu lightly said, "Sometimes life must always come, life cannot be forced."

The three of them twitched their mouths, as they understood her resistance. The little girl looked at her with her wet eyes, "You know what we mean, you're not willing to help us? "Our request is very simple. As long as you inform the messenger that he has noticed our case and ask him to help us turn the case around, then it will be fine."

In terms of age, she was a lot younger than her.

"Why should I help you?" Seeing that pretending to be stupid was useless, Chen Mu Mu Mu Mu spoke up, "If I'm not wrong, I have nothing to do with the both of you."

It's all right to speak to the messenger, if it's convenient for her. But to turn over the case?

What relationship did she have with Chin? Why did he have to give her so much face?

If the messenger didn't agree, wouldn't she have to beg him three times?

Yao Sanniang went to her to help her get back at them, but she was the one who tricked them all. How could she refuse when these few people, who had nothing to do with each other, asked her to help them?

She wasn't like that Bodhisattva with heavenly mana, who needed to satisfy anyone's request.

"But we are just as pitiful as you are! How can you just ignore us after you get out of here? How can you bear it!" "You are too selfish!"

The daughter-in-law nodded, "Lady Chen, we are all prisoners in the same prison. You can't be that selfish."

Zhao Bapo's gaze was oppressive: "Miss Chen, you are unwilling to do such a simple thing, don't tell me you want me, this wife, to kneel down and beg you?"

She didn't like hearing that.

Chen Mu stood up, his brows furrowed as a hint of anger flashed on his face. Clenching her fist, she took a deep breath and finally relaxed. A smile appeared on her face.

"Are you trying to be a moral kidnapper? "You should have the attitude of begging, I am not related to you, so why should I do things for you? If it is easy to turn the case around, then find your own way, there is no need to tell me."

She smiled and said, "Let me tell you, I don't owe you anything, I don't need to do anything for your mistakes. Helping or not is my problem, you don't have the right to pressure me. "So what if you're old, so what if you're young? Who isn't selfish? If you're really that generous, I would be very cold right now. Why don't you take off all of your clothes to protect me from the cold?"

If he took off all his clothes, wouldn't he be naked?

The three of them looked at each other, then the daughter-in-law gritted her teeth and said, "You are causing trouble for no reason and forcing others to do so! With so many people in the prison watching us, how can you make us take off our clothes! "

"Can't do it? Aren't you very magnanimous? For such a small request of mine, you can accomplish it with a wave of your hand. Why not? " Chen Mu's face turned cold, "There's no such thing as unconditional lunch. That's my request. If you can do it, then do it. If you can't, then shut up."

She laughed sinisterly, "I don't have a good temper. Don't forget what happened to Yao Sanniang."

The three in the prison had a deep understanding of Yao Sanniang's valor, yet her limbs were broken by Chen Mu Mu in a single move. They were naturally no match for Chen Mu Mu.

The three of them had different expressions on their faces. It was as if they had swallowed feces. Their eyes were filled with resentment as they stared at her.

Chen Mu Mu Mu couldn't be bothered with this bunch of weirdos as he sat down to sleep.

She hadn't eaten since yesterday and hadn't eaten today either. Her stomach was really growling from hunger.

However, no matter how hungry she was, she couldn't eat the food in the cell.

Chen Mu Mu closed her eyes and the image of Lu Jinfeng flashed past her mind, her eyebrows knitted tightly.

Although Lu Jinfeng and her were not the type of couple that swore to the heavens that they were together, they could still be considered family. Why hadn't she received even a single message from Lu Jinfeng when she had been imprisoned for more than a day? Was it something troubling him, or did he want to ignore her?

He should have known that she had been wronged.

There was also Shangguan Bai, they were in a cooperative relationship, the benefits were closely related, if the customers had problems eating those pastries, the main responsibility would be her, but the Shangguan family would also have to take responsibility.

Shangguan Bai would never allow her to be locked in here, but why was there still no movement from her?

In the abandoned courtyard, Lu Jinfeng and Shangguan Bai were hiding in a cave behind a fake mountain with each other's support.

"This is already the fifth group of assassins." On his bloodied chest, he looked at Lu Jinfeng who was beside him, "Have you offended some powerful being that sent out so many experts in order to kill us?"

"I'm just a commoner. What kind of powerful character could I offend?" Lu Jinfeng said weakly, he was also covered in colors, after an entire night and a whole morning of fighting and escaping he was already exhausted, it was hard for him to even speak.

"That's strange." Shangguan Bai raised his eyebrows. There are a lot of enemies in the family, but my good-for-nothing brothers don't have the ability to invite powerful experts to deal with us. This group of experts have been trying their best to kill us. "

He stared at Lu Jinfeng strangely, and Lu Jinfeng didn't even look at him, and said indifferently: "Don't look at me, I don't know anything."

Even though those assassins were aiming for him, they were deadly.

Who had such a deep grudge against him? Who had the ability to invite so many assassins? Who couldn't allow him to stay in this world …

Although he said he didn't know, his heart was as clear as a mirror.

"Your eyes are too sad." Shangguan Bai sighed, "Forget it, I won't ask you anymore. I'm not dead anyway, I'll find out when I get out."

Lu Jinfeng's body stiffened, he turned around and looked at him: "I guessed, but why didn't you ask?"

"Everyone has their own secrets." Shangguan Bai smiled lightly, the blood on his lips was bright and a bit glaring. "You are my brother, I respect you."

Even if it was this kind of respect, could it be the price of one's life?

There was light flowing in Lu Jinfeng's eyes, he held Shangguan Bai's shoulders and said: "Thank you."

If he could leave this place alive, he would recognize this brother of his.

The two of them had never thought that they would encounter assassins one after the other, even though they were going to the city to investigate the cake issue and minimize their losses.

Even though both of them were quite skilled, they could not withstand the continuous bombardment like a war chariot. At this moment, they could not hold on any longer.

"I wonder how Mu Mu is doing right now." Lu Jinfeng said worriedly, "I'm afraid the authorities have already started to intervene before we even entered the city."

"It's more than just the government intervention." Shangguan Bai's eyes turned cold, "I'm afraid they've already gone to Xingyu Village to capture him."

"Then Mu Mu, she …" Lu Jinfeng's heart sank, "It is said that the Prefect is extremely disrespectful. He would do things for others the moment he takes the money, and there are even many cases of him disobeying orders. Mu Mu, right now, is not the same as you …"

When he thought of Chen Mu Mu Mu's helpless appearance as she lay in the prison, dying of blood, his heart spasmed.

It was his fault that he wasn't able to help her when she needed it the most. The current her … How lonely and helpless?

Seeing that he was so anxious that he almost jumped up, Shangguan Bai shook his head, "Don't be anxious, Chen Mu Mu Mu is a smart person, it's not easy for her to scheme against us, if she wants to help, we have to heal our wounds first."
