"You know what Lu Renjia did, right?" Ji Yutang asked tactfully.

The damselfly nodded: "He is nothing."

Ji Yutang and Xie Huaichu looked at each other. He quickly understood what Ji Yutang meant, patted Wenming Xin on the shoulder and took him a few steps outside. Xie Huaichu found a perfect position, just enough to keep a lookout for the two of them, but he couldn't hear their conversation clearly.

The damselfly looked at Xie Huaichu's actions, and her eyes were a little touched: "Thank you."

Ji Yutang started to pour her a cup of tea: "The reason why we came to you is because we discovered the secret behind Lu Renjia. I hope you can tell us everything you know. I swear that I will do my best for you and your relationship." Young ladies who have suffered the same thing want justice.”

The damselfly took the cup and put it in her palm. She raised her head and a hot tear flowed down her cheek: "I have got my justice back. I was the one who killed Fang Wu."

Ji Yutang's expression did not change. She sighed and whispered: "I have guessed it a long time ago. I guessed it when Lu Renjia said that he put pufferfish poison on the needle. How can a husband carry a needle and thread with him? ? If it’s not him, it’s you. Your family happens to run a clothing store and you often work with needles and threads, so it’s not surprising that you have needles on your body.”

"Then why didn't you expose me in front of those adults? You actually let me back."

"Because I want to talk to you alone about the evil done by Lu Renjia and the people behind him. If you are exposed in front of Mr. Lu, you will be executed soon, and then it will be difficult for those grievances to see the light of day again. Damselfly, You’re not even afraid of killing people, so are you afraid of giving yourself and other little ladies justice?”

The damselfly thought for a long time and finally spoke: "Of course I'm not afraid of what will happen to me. The only thing I'm worried about is my old man. When I decided to kill Fang Wu, I was determined to die. The reason why I didn't dare to be fair is Worry about my old man. If you can help me ensure his safety, I will tell you everything I know. Then I can testify and testify, and I am willing to plead guilty and face the law."

Of course Ji Yutang agreed: "You know that Mr. Xie who is with us, right? Although he is just a Dali Temple official, he is highly appreciated by the top officials. Even the officials and the Queen look upon him with special eyes. Don't worry, Mr. Xie will To protect you and your father."

"Then go to my house and talk. It's not very comprehensive here." The damselfly looked around. Although the place Ji Yutang found was quiet and no one paid attention to their conversation, the damselfly was still afraid of being overheard.

"Okay." Ji Yutang waved to Xie Huaichu, signaling that the deal was settled.

The damselfly nodded slightly towards Xie Huaichu: "The lives of our whole family are in your hands."

After saying that, Damniang wiped away her tears and led Ji Yutang and others back to the clothing store. Before she walked in, she pretended to be happy and raised her voice so that everyone could hear: "Old man, look, I've got a big business deal for the family, and they adults want to do a few things." Where are the clothes!”

Ji Yutang and others understood that Damselfly wanted to use them as an excuse to make clothes, so that no one would be suspicious of their purpose of coming here, and to prevent the news from reaching those people's ears.

Before Liu Yichi could answer, a woman dressed in elegant clothes shouted in surprise: "Ah, it's Mr. Xiao Xie."

"Xiao Sir?" His companion was puzzled.

The woman tugged on her companion's sleeve: "Xie Huaichu, Xie Zhen's son! Don't you know him? His father fascinated so many people back then. I remember you secretly made a promise to him. Oh, oh, oh, in a flash, dozens of Years have passed, and this child has really inherited Xie Zhen’s appearance perfectly. I wonder if he has inherited Xie Zhen’s figure..."

The more you talk, the more you go too far. It is really inappropriate to act like a nymphomaniac to a child who is more than ten years younger than you. The companion's face was covered with black lines. He took her arm and said to Liu Yichi: "That's all I'll pick out today. It's getting late, so let's leave first. After we finish it, I'd better put it in your shop first. I'll send it to you." Someone comes and gets it. It saves the tiring damselfly and the trip. This child has lost a lot of weight recently, so you can take good care of it at home."

Before he finished speaking, the woman was dragged and pushed into a nearby carriage, urging the coachman to drive away.

"Which lady is that? She sounds quite kind." Ji Yutang asked.

The damselfly smiled: "She is the wife of the Minister of Etiquette. She often comes to our shop to customize clothes."

Liu Yichi glanced at Damselfly. He said nothing and silently sent away the few scattered customers in the shop. After a while, only their father, daughter and Ji Yutang were left in the clothing store.

This little old man was also a shrewd man. He led everyone into a small cubicle at the back of the shop, closed the door, and then asked: "When you came just now, you said you were asking about a case, and now you say you are measuring your body to make clothes. Are you trying to trick me? Did my child do something bad? "

The damselfly couldn't hold it any longer and cried to Liu Yichi with tears in her eyes: "Old man, I can't help you."

Liu Yichi wiped her tears distressedly: "Don't cry, don't cry. Tell me if you have anything to do with me. I just said there's something wrong with you. You've been restless since you came back from Zuixiang Tower. I measured your waistline." Three feet three, people say you want to make clothes for elephants?"

The loving father tried to tell a joke to make his daughter happy, but the damselfly did not burst out laughing this time. She held Liu Yichi's hand tightly, trying to draw warmth from his father's dry palm: "Old man, I kill people. La."

Liu Yichi shivered, his eyes flashed with shock and fear, and finally settled into full of pity. He hugged the damselfly, picked up an iron ruler at hand and shouted at Ji Yutang and the others: "You all, get out of here! Get out! Don't catch my baby. My baby definitely didn't mean it. I know it." Well, it's Fang Wu. He bullied my baby, and my baby fought back and killed him. You can't arrest her, and she didn't want this, but no one made the decision for us..."

Liu Yichi's words were confusing, but Ji Yutang understood what he meant. He knew about the damselfly being bullied.

Ji Yutang felt extremely uncomfortable. It seemed that Liu Yichi also wanted to report to the police, but his arms could not twist his thighs. He, a common man, could only break his teeth and swallow it. After finally accompanying her daughter to get out of the haze, she was involved again because of Fang Wu's death.

After thinking about it, Ji Yutang wanted to persuade her, but she was interrupted by Xie Huaichu as soon as she shouted "Old Man Liu". Wen Wen Xin, who was at the back, had a wink and quietly moved his body to block Ji Yutang.

Xie Huaichu raised his hands towards Liu Yichi, walked slowly forward a few steps, and said with sincere eyes: "Old man Liu, don't get excited. We are not here today to catch the damselflies. On the contrary, we It is for the safety of the damselfly. Since you know what happened to the damselfly, you must also know that now that Fang Wu is dead, those behind him will definitely focus their attention on the damselfly. This is the most dangerous Yes!"

Liu Yichilao burst into tears and his voice was hoarse: "The worst he can do is to die. Fang Wu, that bastard, dies, so we two can have some support."

After saying that, Liu Yichi turned to point the iron ruler at himself. The thin edge of the iron ruler shone with cold light. It didn't look like it was for measuring dimensions, but more like an iron sword.

"Old man!" Ji Yutang couldn't help but speak, her words were sincere and her eyes were red with anxiety, "Death is the easiest, there is nothing when you close your eyes. But are you willing? Why do those scum and scum deserve to live?" Okay, why do we ordinary people have to die? Old man, if you don't think about anything else, but for the damselfly, she is only a teenager, and the road ahead is still so long, you can't bear to do this Do you want to destroy her life? We came to you privately today because we actually had the intention of saving Damselfly, otherwise the truth about her murder of Fang Wu would have been brought to Mr. Lu’s desk."

The damselfly shouted softly: "Old man, Madam Ji is right, she wants to protect me. And I struggled for a long time, thinking that we can't let others bully us anymore, why should we just Can I be stepped on? If I have the courage to kill Fang Wu, I will have the courage to continue to fight against those people behind him. I am not clean, but if I get rid of those people, I will be able to prevent other little ladies from doing the same. This happened. Old man, think about A Yin from the noodle shop, think about Sister Song’s Yu Yu and Mai Mai. They have all been targeted. They are still small. We can’t just watch them being harmed. .”

Liu Yichi choked with sobs and put down the iron ruler, fell to his knees with a thump, covered his face and cried suppressedly.

The damselfly smiled at them: "To make you laugh, my old man is not a bad person, but he is easy to get into trouble."

Xie Huaichu turned his face away and couldn't bear to look, but he happened to see Wenming Xin wiping tears.

Ji Yutang comforted him and said: "If you also feel that their father and daughter are pitiful, don't talk to Mr. Lu."

Wenming Xin was so angry that he burped: "Are you comforting me or threatening me? I'm not the person who can't lift a screwdriver."

After that, he walked closer to Ji Yutang and asked in a low voice: "The law of Daxia does not allow you to protect the murderer. Do you really want to do this? I have an official position. This is called knowing the law and breaking the law."

Ji Yutang ignored him. It was against the law for Damselfly to kill someone, but she had a hidden reason for killing someone. What she wanted to do was to find out the complete truth and then see how to convict Damselfly. At that time, if we unite with the victim to plead for mercy, we should be able to treat her leniently.
