Shengjing Noble

Chapter 273 Impunity

At this critical moment between life and death, a figure suddenly rushed out, it was Ye Wen!

She stepped forward without hesitation and opened her arms to protect Su Lanyin.

The extremely sharp sword blade pierced her flesh right on the vest. Su Lanyin was quick-witted and grabbed Ye Wen's arm and dodged back.

The sword tore open Ye Wen's clothes, cutting his flesh and splashing blood everywhere.

"Uh……"

The severe pain of his skin being torn apart made Ye Wen frown, but he bit his lower lip and swallowed the scream, but his lips were bitten and blood flowed down the corners of his mouth.

Wang Tao became even more angry when he saw that he failed to kill Su Lanyin, and he raised his sword and attacked again.

This time, Su Lanyin was one step faster than him and appeared behind Wang Tao in a flash like lightning.

After the knife flashed, a bloody mark appeared and blood spurted out. Wang Tao fell to the ground with his hands covering his neck in disbelief, and died with his eyes open.

Su Lanyin finally breathed a sigh of relief and forced herself to go back and check on Ye Wen.

"Sister Wen, how are you?"

Ye Wen's back wound was very deep and she was bleeding a lot. Her face was pale, but she still held Su Lanyin's hand with all her strength.

"Miss Su... I'm afraid... I can't make it... Can you help me take care of... my daughter..."

Su Lanyin held back her tears and stuffed a black pill into her mouth, then took out the last few silver needles and pricked them into her wound to stop the bleeding.

"Don't tell me that! I won't bring anything, kid, you can take care of your daughter yourself, I don't care!"

She held back her sobs and pretended to be angry as she spoke, then she carried Ye Wen to a hidden tree nearby.

"Lie here and pretend to be dead. No one will notice you. When we return victorious, I will be the first to rescue you!"

Ye Wenqiang endured the pain and looked at her in disbelief: "I... I won't die?"

Su Lanyin stared at her very seriously.

"I fed you the Resurrection Pill, which is a secret recipe passed down from my master. One pill is worth a million dollars, but he only gave me one to save my life. Now you have it for free. Humph, you owe me a Resurrection Pill, so don't try to deny it by dying. You must wait for me to come back. During this time, don't fall asleep, understand?"

"Okay... I'll wait for you..." Ye Wen gritted his teeth and nodded firmly.

Su Lanyin wiped the hot tears that fell unconsciously from the corners of her eyes, and stood up and left without hesitation.

The most urgent task is to ensure that other people can leave the city smoothly. She cannot be indecisive, otherwise it will only hurt everyone if it is delayed to the end!

Thinking of this, she immediately picked up the long knife beside her and rushed to the front to kill the enemy and clear the way for the people.

Without Wang Tao leading the team, the bandits were defeated. In addition, the city gate was surrounded by soldiers, so the original bandit leader immediately chose to surrender.

The city gates were wide open, and Fu Wuyang rode his horse and led the soldiers to rush in to capture the remaining bandits.

After a bloody battle, Su Lanyin was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.

She left everything to several young citizens in the city, asking them to accommodate the wounded and count the casualties, while she returned to the county government office to rescue Ye Wen and Su Shengming.

……

After a whole day of busy work, the turmoil finally returned to calm, and Su Shengyun and others arrived safely in Qiu County with the imperial sword and a large amount of relief supplies.

Along the way, they experienced looting by bandits and being hunted by assassins, and they almost escaped death.

Fortunately, Su Shengyun placed the real supplies at the post station and asked Lu Wanjun to transport them via a small road, while he himself walked on the main road wearing stones, mud and other things to attract attention.

Finally, they successfully completed the mission.

But the difficulties and obstacles involved are really heartbreaking!

……

The family was finally reunited, and they had endless things to talk about when they got together. With the relief supplies, the whole city was celebrating, and the people finally had a way to survive.

That night...wind suddenly blew from the north outside the window, and Qiu County, after three years of severe drought, welcomed its first rain!

Almost all the people rushed into the heavy rain, cheering and dancing. While they were grateful for the gift from God, they were also deeply grateful to the newly appointed county magistrate and his family.

As for Su Yongcheng who was imprisoned, he probably didn't know what was happening outside.

The Lu family was eating around the table when Fu Wuyang suddenly stood up and patted Su Lanyin on the shoulder, motioning her to come out with him.

……

The night was as dark as ink and the rain was pouring down.

The two stood in the porch, looking at the rain-soaked soil in the yard, and were silent for a long time.

It was Fu Wuyang who spoke first: "I have one more thing I hope your whole family can cooperate with."

"Your Highness, please speak." Su Lanyin was a little confused as to what else he needed her for.

Clearly, the disaster relief grain had been distributed to the people, and heavy rain had fallen in Qiu County, so the problem had been perfectly resolved.

Fu Wuyang said: "I'm afraid Jinyan can't resume her status as a princess for the time being, and she will continue to be raised by your Lu family."

Su Lanyin frowned. She was naturally happy in her heart, but still a little puzzled: "What are the concerns of the prince?"

"The prince has coveted the military power in my hands for a long time. In order to get the jade ring, he even used Su Lanxin to find Jinyan's whereabouts. So, if I don't let him get his wish this time, I'm afraid he will do some shameful tricks behind my back again."

"Your Majesty, you already have enough evidence."

"But you killed Wang Tao, and we have no witnesses."

Su Lanyin was speechless and scratched her head in embarrassment: "The situation was critical at that time. If I didn't kill him with one strike, he would have killed me and Sister Wen. Fortunately, I was agile at that time, otherwise I'm afraid that his sword would have pierced Sister Wen's chest!"

Thinking about it now, she felt scared. If she hadn't been quick enough to pull Ye Wen to the side to divert the sword's center of gravity, the consequences would have been disastrous.

"I don't blame you. On the contrary, I want to praise you for being decisive. You should always make sure your life is safe."

"Your Highness is wise, but there is no witness. We can't just let this matter go unpunished, right?"

"Fu Mingheng has been accused of trafficking people, killing people, embezzling disaster relief grain, and murdering court officials. There is no way to argue, but the emperor wants solid evidence, so even if I hand over the evidence, he will not kill his own son."

"What should I do?"

"Unless I have ironclad evidence that will prevent the Emperor from favoring Fu Mingheng, I will be able to bring him down completely!"

"You mean to let that bastard continue to do evil and get away with it?"

"Of course not. I may not point the finger at Fu Mingheng, but the emperor may doubt his own good son."

Su Lanyin seemed to have thought of something and smiled evilly: "The prince wants to hide the evidence first, and then report all these things to the emperor immediately. If he is quick-witted, he can find out that these criminals are all people around the prince. At that time, you don't need to say anything, the emperor will naturally suspect Fu Mingheng."

Fu Wuyang showed a hint of admiration in his eyes: "Are you guessing what I'm thinking?"
