After I captured the wrong male lead, I broke off the engagement and married the villain

The sound of fists hitting the body makes people's teeth ache.

Tao Zhu looked confused and looked around, trying to find the source of the sound.

"here."

Nangong Yuan took a few steps forward and then jumped onto the wall.

Sure enough, a group of people were beating a middle-aged man in the backyard behind the wall.

The man was lying on the ground with a bruised face and couldn't even get up.

"What dares to threaten us? If I kill you today, you won't live till tomorrow!"

Tao Zhu also climbed up and was surprised when he saw this: "What are the people from Jingzhao Yin doing? Didn't they say they were going to resettle the refugees?"

Nangong Yuan sneered at this: "No wonder they don't let anyone in, it seems they are hiding something."

"So, miss, what shall we do?"

Nangong Yuan said: "Cold salad."

She jumped down quickly, and the sudden appearance of the person scared the other person.

"Who dares to trespass?"

The other party quickly drew his sword and looked at them vigilantly.

Nangong Yuan gestured and walked around leisurely: "I heard someone calling for help, so I came to take a look."

The next moment, Tao Zhu rushed out, picked up the person who was beaten, and quickly jumped onto the roof and left.

Seeing that she had rescued someone, Nangong Yuan smiled a little, turned around and ran.

The people behind were stunned when they saw this. They wanted to chase him but couldn't climb over the wall, so they ran around in a panic.

"What should I do? That person ran away!"

The responsible yamen runner said: "Just say he is dead, otherwise we are all doomed."

"But··········."

"But what!"

His expression was stern, and the others did not dare to speak freely, so they all agreed.

On the other side, Nangong Yuan jumped down from the wall and watched Tao Zhu carrying people over.

"Miss, where are we going? What should we do with this person?"

Nangong Yuan reached out and lifted the man's messy hair, revealing a bruised face.

"Huh? Isn't this... Uncle Shen?"

Nangong Yuan said: "Sure enough."

The system beeped continuously just now, giving her clues.

Nangong Yuan attracted the attention of the group of people and asked Tao Zhu to rescue people.

Sure enough, he was found.

"Let's go back home first."

The two got on the carriage and hurried home.

········

"Go and ask mother to come over and tell her that we met my uncle on the road."

Tao Zhu didn't even have time to catch his breath before he hurried to deliver the message.

Nangong Yuan stood by and let the system scan it.

[There are multiple injuries on the body, and the ribs are slightly broken. There is no danger to life. Please seek treatment as soon as possible. ]

The court doctor came forward and gave him a thorough examination.

"Yuan'er!"

Nangong Yuan stood up when she saw Madam Shen coming: "Mother."

"what 's wrong?"

Mrs. Shen looked at her uncle who was lying unconscious on the bed with a bruised face and a confused look on her face.

"We saw him in the nunnery in the west of the city and brought him back immediately."

Mrs. Shen didn't have time to find out what she was doing there for no reason, so she sat down and asked the doctor.

"How's it going? How's it going?"

"Don't worry, Madam. I just fainted because I was hungry for a long time and suffered an external injury. I will be fine after eating something later."

Only then did she feel relieved and asked someone to prepare the meal quickly.

"Mother, we went out today and heard that a group of refugees came to Kyoto and were placed in the nunnery west of the city. How could my uncle become a refugee?"

Upon hearing this, Madam Shen also shook her head: "Our family is well-known in Hongzhou. Although our lineage has never returned, it is not so destitute as this."

She looked at the person lying on the bed and said, "We can only ask him after he wakes up."

"Okay, don't worry too much, mother."

Nangong Yuan walked out of the house and stretched her waist, feeling that something was wrong.

But her intuition was always right, so she waited outside the door.

Not long after, Uncle Shen woke up.

"Uncle, how do you feel?"

The man's eyes were blurry, and he looked for a long time before coming back to his senses: "Yu Niang, why am I here?"

"Yuan'er went out and saw you, and then brought you back."

Uncle Shen burst into tears upon seeing this: "It's my destiny that I can finally come! And I can even see you."

He clapped his hands and looked very excited.

Nangong Yuan then came in to comfort him: "Uncle has not eaten for many days, he will definitely not be able to hold on. Mother, don't ask first, wait until he has eaten."

"Yes, yes, that's right. Yuan'er is right. Uncle, please have some food."

Uncle Shen usually lives a life of luxury, but after having to sleep in the open air during this journey, he has become a completely different person.

After dinner, he calmed down and said, "Something happened in Hongzhou."

"how?"

Uncle Shen pondered for a moment and said, "The governor of Hongzhou colluded with the bandits to buy and sell people. Not only did they plunder the people's wealth, they also killed anyone who disagreed!"

"What? You're so presumptuous?"

Nangong Yuan was listening at the side and felt strange: "So no one sent a message to the court?"

"Yes, but they were stopped. Many people who wanted to leave were stopped in the city, and those who resisted fiercely were killed."

"Then how did my uncle get out?"

Uncle Shen sighed: "It was the old man who said that we have relatives in Kyoto and asked me to come here for help. This not only concerns the people of Hongzhou, but also the Shen family."

"We are also a prominent family in Hongzhou. They dare not act rashly, but they surrounded our house and did not allow anyone to go out. I got out by hiding in a toilet."

Madam Shen's face was grim: "This group of people are really unscrupulous, they are really looking for death!"

"Alas, they are all-powerful in Hongzhou, and we dare not confront them head-on, so we had to run out and ask for help."

Seeing this, Madam Shen frowned and said, "I will explain this matter to the master when he comes back, and let the court solve it immediately."

"That would be great, but... I'm afraid it won't be that easy."

"How to say?"

Uncle Shen sighed: "If there is no signal from the higher-ups, how can anyone be so arrogant?"

"You mean, there is someone in the court?"

"Yes, yes, so you can't report the matter directly. You have to go through the documents of the local government."

Nangong Yuan supported his chin and an idea flashed in his mind.

"Our general's mansion is a big place that attracts the wind. It would be bad if we were targeted by others. Mother, why don't you start from somewhere else?"

Mrs. Shen was not involved in court affairs, so she didn't speak for a while.

"I think they have already noticed that I came out, otherwise why would they kill me in the nunnery today?"

Nangong Yuan said: "The opponent has great magical powers and his arms are so long that he is not easy to deal with."

"Yes, you must be careful. The old man said that this matter might be aimed at the Shen family."

If they have no say in the court, many people will be in trouble.

"Let's wait until father comes back and make a decision."

Nangong Yuan let them talk on their own and turned around to walk out.

"Didn't Jingzhao Yin report it?"

Tao Zhu shook his head: "No, no one reported it."

Only then did she realize that this matter was not simple and the other party was aggressive and not easy to deal with.
