Chapter 184
Facing the ridicule from the side, Shen Ruo calmly pushed away the hand next to him, walked out in front of Xiao Chen, glanced at the crowded room, and asked again: "Why are you here?"

The corner of Li Shichang's mouth curled up into a playful smile: "Isn't this why the prince came here to see you because he was worried about your situation after seeing you late?"

Sensing the colder eyes on the other side, the smile on Li Shichang's face deepened.

Xiao Chen coughed lightly, and walked behind her: "Since the matter is settled, let's go back."

Shen Ruo turned to look at him: "Who said it's all settled?"

At this time, Qiu Ning came out to thank the boy after confirming his injuries, so she asked bluntly, "Is he from Heifengzhai?"

Qiu Ning's eyes widened suddenly: "Miss Qiao, you..."

"Don't pretend, when I was treating him just now, he already said everything, including the fact that he killed the county magistrate in order to save you, and that he left the village in order not to hurt Heifeng village."

Shen Ruo lied without changing his face, his eyes were fixed on the face of the girl in front of him, but she pursed her lips and did not speak. On the contrary, Li Shichang on her side was quite surprised: "What? It was a homicide!" The county magistrate of Shuiding County? Didn't it mean..."

Seeing Shen Ruo's gaze, he shut up suddenly and did not reveal any more information.

"Regard, go and bring the people inside back."

She gave an order and turned to look at Qiu Ning, "As for you, he said that this matter has nothing to do with you, and begged me to let you go. After all, you are also a victim, so let it be."

It wasn't until this sentence that Qiuning's expression completely changed. She grabbed Shen Ruo's sleeve and panicked: "No! No! Brother Duan did these things because of me! If you want to arrest me, arrest me." .”

Shen Ruo raised an eyebrow: "It really is you."

Qiu Ning quickly let go, took two steps back, and glared at her angrily: "You're deceiving me!"

"You are all in my hands. It doesn't matter if you cheat or not. It's just a matter of time. I just didn't want to waste time, so I played some tricks."

Facing the angry glaring, Shen Ruo remained unmoved, "You should only know that the imperial court has sent an imperial envoy, but you don't know that the emperor's order is to wipe out all Heifengzhai?"

"Miss Qiao..."

Feng Xi at the side called her hesitantly, as if reminding her that it was not good to just tell the other party the mission like this, but Xiao Chen raised his hand to stop him, he believed her.

Sure enough, when Qiu Ning heard this, she panicked: "Everyone in Heifengzhai is a good person, but they were forced to go up the mountain to become bandits because of those corrupt officials. Why do you have to force everyone to die?" ?”

Shen Ruo calmly said: "Then, if you don't want them to die, you'd better listen to us."

As soon as these words came out, Qiu Ning, who was still angry just now, was startled suddenly, with a bit of distrust in his hesitation: "You really have a way?"

Shen Ruo raised her chin slightly: "Let's talk about what you know first. I will not consider whether to help you until I have confirmed whether they are really worthy of my rescue."

Qiu Ning looked at her demeanor that was as clear and calm as a cypress, with a calm and unyielding uprightness, and remembering that she had saved herself time and time again, she gritted her teeth and bet.

"Okay, I'll tell you everything I know."

"There are more than 200 people in Heifengzhai. Apart from some criminals on the wanted list, most of them are poor people from all over the world with nowhere to go."

"Everyone just lives and works in peace and contentment in the stockade. Many of the crimes are framed and slandered by others. Occasionally, the second and third heads of the village will loot the houses of those corrupt officials, and the money they get will be distributed to innocent people. people."

Shen Ruo raised her hand and interrupted her: "Tell me first, who are these masters?"

Qiu Ning took a quick look at her before continuing hesitantly, "There are four masters in the village, and the chief is Yin Hongyun..."

"Isn't this General Yin from more than 20 years ago?" Feng Xi suddenly shouted.

Shen Ruo glanced at him: "Do you know him?"

Xiao Chen opened his mouth and explained lightly: "Yin Hongyun and Old General Lin were brothers of the opposite sex. I didn't want him to collude with the vassal king and kill fifty thousand soldiers. Later, it was General Lin who pleaded with the emperor, which deposed his military achievements. Spare his life."

"I didn't expect him to be willing to degenerate. He ran to Heifeng Mountain to occupy the mountain as a bandit, and even built a village."

But she didn't want to, after hearing this, Qiu Ning became agitated: "You are talking nonsense, Mr. Yin is a good person, and he would not do that kind of treachery."

Xiao Chen didn't argue with her about the right or wrong of this old story, he just turned his head and ignored her.

It's just that his disdainful and indifferent appearance made Qiu Ning even more angry.

Shen Ruo had no choice but to say, "Go ahead."

Qiu Ning curled her lips and scolded the official inwardly. She really hated it, even if she had a handsome face.

She continued: "The second head of the family is called Cao Can, and the poor Can, who has been a magician's family for generations, and he made all the traps in Heifeng Village with his own hands."

"The name of the third master is Feng Minghao, and the fourth master is..."

She paused for a moment before saying, "The name of the fourth family is Duan Ze. The Duan family is originally a family of martial arts, but they don't want Mrs. Duan to be captured by a high-ranking official, forced to be his wife, and a dozen members of the Duan family were massacred... Brother Duan was lucky enough to escape, and then practiced his martial arts hard, and five years ago, he wiped out the family of that high official..."

Needless to say after that, the young man who succeeded in revenge was chased and killed by the government, and finally fled to Heifeng Village, where he became the fourth master.

Qiu Ning looked at Shen Ruo pleadingly: "Sister Qiao, everyone in the village is really hard-working, please help everyone!"

Shen Ruo patted her on the shoulder reassuringly: "Don't worry, I know everything."

"But before that, let's go back."

"Where?"

"The sheriff's office."

Qiu Ning's eyes widened suddenly: "No! We won't go! Isn't this a self-inflicted trap?"

Shen Ruo smiled: "This is beyond your control."

When Qiu Ning was startled, she felt a pain in the back of her neck, and fell into a delicate embrace, falling into endless darkness.

She raised the bar, turned her head and comforted Qiu Ning's parents, "Don't worry, I'll send her back in a few days, beard and tail."

Qiu Ning's parents looked at the two rows of heavily armed soldiers on the left and right, and smiled mischievously, not daring to say anything more.

Shen Ruo waved his hand: "Fengxi, carry people!"

A group of people made a mighty return journey, halfway, Xiao Chen couldn't help asking: "Are you really going to help them?"

Shen Ruo didn't answer, but asked back: "What about you? What do you think?"

Xiao Chen pondered for a moment: "If this matter can be resolved without a single soldier, I am willing."

Shen Ruo smiled mysteriously: "That's good."

"Next, just listen to me."
