Chu Yutang held Shi Wanwan's shoulders and walked straight to the gate without saying a word.Shi Wanwan glanced at her quietly, and found that Chu Yutang's side face was gloomy like never before.

"A Chu, are you okay?" Shi Wanwan asked worriedly, afraid that Chu Yutang's thoughts would still be immersed in the scene of blood, violence, and force just now.

Chu Yutang shook her head and said, "I'm fine. I just want to take you out of here as soon as possible."

Shi Wanwan actually had lingering fears in her heart, after all, she had just experienced that kind of heartbeat ups and downs, and it would be bluffing to say that she didn't feel it at all.Caressing her heart, taking a deep breath, she snuggled into Chu Yutang's arms and continued walking towards the door.

The guests of Tianxiang Tower had been cleared away at some point.In the empty hall, it was completely different from when I came here just now.Shi Wanwan was startled every step of the way.

"A Chu, what's going on here?" Shi Wanwan looked at the scene suspiciously, puzzled by such a change.

Chu Yutang turned to look at her, and replied: "It is estimated that the princess has been prepared. In fact, when I came to look for you just now, I met someone from the princess at the door. If I hadn't seen him, I might not be able to Came in just in time to save you."

Now Chu Yutang calmed down slowly, combined with the weird atmosphere before entering the building, and thinking about the situation just now, he seemed to have found a way of thinking.Shi Wanwan's face darkened when she heard her words.Sure enough, when they all left Tianxiang Tower, they saw Minglei outside, responsible for blocking Kang Youzhi's men from entering, and even saw Qian Rugui's figure in the crowd.

Chu Yutang naturally didn't miss this person, but he didn't understand why he was here to join in the fun.

"Hey, Wan Wan, what do you think Mr. Qian is doing here? Could it be that he is with Kang Youzhi?" Chu Yutang asked the person in his arms in a low voice.

"Shh, I don't know either. But judging by his eagerness, it doesn't seem like he knows about it. Let's not get too involved in this matter, let the princess handle it." Shi Wanwan knew that Princess Changle was anxious The intention of driving them away, if they stay around more now, will definitely attract the attention of those who are interested.

Nodding to Minglei from a distance, Shi Wanwan and the others didn't go over to talk to him, and left from the side of the crowd.

After finally washing themselves thoroughly from the inside to the outside, both Chu Yutang and Shi Wanwan put on fresh and clean clothes, and they truly calmed down.

"Wanwan, the county master is really good. Others avoid this kind of thing, and she took it on her own initiative." Chu Yutang returned to the room, thinking of the princess's righteousness, she was still full of praise.

"You're not bad. People who usually walk around a vase when they see it, just lift it up and smash it." Shi Wanwan sat in front of the dressing table, combing her half-dried hair.

Chu Yutang immediately put down the teacup and stood up, and said seriously: "How can it be the same! Wan Wan, you are in danger, I will definitely do my best to save you!"

"Ah Chu, thank you for your bravery." Shi Wanwan looked at the person in the mirror, her extremely serious expression, and her unaffected tone made her stop her movements.

After staring at it for a long time, I finally expressed my gratitude solemnly.

Chu Yutang didn't take this gratitude to heart, in her mind, protecting Shi Wanwan was her bounden duty, and she was even more willing.If it wasn't for the sudden situation today, maybe she still couldn't be sure how important Shi Wanwan was to her.

"However, Ah Chu, why did you come to Tianxiang Tower suddenly? Aren't you..." This matter has always troubled Shi Wanwan's mind, and she wanted to ask for a long time.It's just that everyone was busy taking a bath after they came back, and they didn't have time to ask clearly.

"Hey, after I finished solving it, I felt quite uncomfortable. I'm afraid that the princess will eat too much and fall into a coma, and you won't be able to move around alone. So I want to go to find you and help you." Chu Yutang was a little embarrassed. After all, going to the toilet after eating a stomachache is not an experience worth telling in detail.

However, Chu Yutang was still a little worried about Kang Youzhi's injury. She didn't know the severity of her attack, and she just smashed it with all her brain, in extreme panic.Looking back now, I feel terrible, but with the few whips behind the princess, I am afraid that Kang Youzhi should die, right?After all, there is a world of difference between accidentally hurting someone and killing someone, and Chu Yutang became uneasy.

Shi Wanwan wrung out her hair completely, got up and walked towards Chu Yutang.Seeing that her complexion was getting worse and worse, she thought that Xue Linglong's residual poison had not been exhausted, so she also became nervous.

"Ah Chu, how do you feel? Let's take some medicine and recuperate."

Chu Yutang waved his hands weakly, and said sadly: "I don't have a disease in my stomach, I have a problem in my heart."

Shi Wanwan became even more nervous, could it be that this rotten fruit can still make her heart sick?

"Wanwan, tell me, is Kang Youzhi dead?" Chu Yutang fell on the seat, and said the word dead at the end with extra heavy effort, as if he had exhausted all his strength to spit it out.

"It shouldn't be. Although the princess whipped him a few times, she should have avoided the vital points. Since she said she was responsible for the aftermath, she would never throw a corpse to the Kang family. After all, King Qi's face still needs to be taken into account .”

"King Qi? Oh yes, the Kang family is backed by King Qi." Chu Yutang said in a low voice.

"However, it may be difficult to wake up again. After all, if he wakes up, he will definitely involve you and me." Shi Wanwan knows Princess Changle's tricks, and since she dares to take over the matter, she will never I will give Kang Youzhi a chance to slap her in the face in the future.

"Ah? Didn't Kang Youzhi become a living dead?" Chu Yutang couldn't tell for a while, whether he was happy or worried about the result.

"He has done enough evil things in the capital, and now it's retribution." Shi Wanwan patted Chu Yutang lightly on the shoulder.

Chu Yutang smiled wryly, and said, "Wanwan, I know you are trying to explain me. But, I can't explain how I feel right now."

Of course Shi Wanwan understands Chu Yutang's psychology. For a person who has lived in a peaceful and peaceful environment since he was a child, it is inevitable that he will have a psychological shadow after experiencing such a thing suddenly.But this person happened to be Kang Youzhi, which could somewhat relieve Chu Yutang's complicated emotions.

"Relying on the wealth of the Kang family, he has occupied and played with good women and girls in the capital for no less than three times."

Chu Yutang was shocked, and asked in disbelief, "What? How is this possible! Isn't this too ridiculous? In the capital, at the feet of the emperor, no one cares about him doing such a thing?"

Shi Wanwan sneered and said: "Take care? Who will take care of it? Almost half of the officials in the capital rely on the financial resources of the Kang family to climb up. Even if the position is secure, they must also take into account King Qi's face. Who would want to do it for a A girl from an ordinary family is going to offend the Kang family."

Chu Yutang shook his head again and again, and said, "It's ridiculous, but the parents and officials don't make decisions for the people. Can't they sue the imperial court?"

Shi Wanwan looked at Chu Yutang affectionately, and said, "Ah Chu, we all know the truth about many things, but we may not always get what people want. Just think about how the neighbors of Renshoufang are powerless to resist even ordinary land expropriation." What? Even if you want to file an imperial lawsuit, you must be able to find the way."

Chu Yutang's stunned expression hurt Shi Wanwan's heart.Once, she had the same expression as Chu Yutang.So she ran to the study and took the initiative to plead with her father for those women.She longed for her father as the prime minister to avenge the people.

"Then what then?" After listening to Shi Wanwan's memories, Chu Yutang roughly guessed the ending.But he refused to give up easily, and still tried to ask.

Shi Wanwan turned her back, secretly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and shrugged her shoulders.

"But later, when my father found those families with the documents approving the retrial, I found out that one family had already moved away from the capital. No one knew where it went, as if it had disappeared from this world."

Halfway through Shi Wanwan's speech, she turned around and looked at Chu Yutang.

"In the other two families, one family committed suicide by burning charcoal. The other family threw themselves into a well because their daughter couldn't stand the gossip."

Chu Yutang's tears could no longer be stopped. In her previous perception, droughts and floods, and tenants' lack of harvest and starvation, were the greatest disasters.Unexpectedly, there is such a tragedy in the capital.

"Even so, Kang Youzhi still can't be cured? He is still the young master of his Kang family safe and sound?" Chu Yutang stammered, with a trembling voice, unable to believe that this was the so-called reality.

Shi Wanwan's expression became more powerless and lonely, she was silent for a long time, and then spoke again.

"Because the Kang family gave 1000 taels to the living. After that, they gave another 1 taels to bribe officials at all levels. Even if my father wanted to preside over the matter, he still obstructed many things. And His Royal Highness, because of the disadvantage of supervising the country Being read by the King of Qi, I can't support my father."

Chu Yutang thought shyly, is this the ugliness of mutual protection by officials?That's why Dad has repeatedly emphasized that you must not get too close to officials, especially the bigger the Chu family business, the more distance you must keep from the officialdom.

And that damned He Mingxuan, for his own selfish desire, used the Chu family's business name as a bargaining chip to curry favor with despicable people like the Kang family.If he really succeeds in hooking up, it won't be long before the Chu family's business will be completely destroyed.

After wiping away his tears and snot, Chu Yutang decided to pull himself together.Since Kang Youzhi was seriously injured, He Mingxuan was unable to cooperate with the Kang family for the time being.But she can't just delay, the key is how to let the managers of Chu's firm see He Mingxuan's true face clearly.

"Wanwan, if you do many injustices, you will kill yourself. Let's work together so that such villains will stop doing evil and harming innocent people." Chu Yutang's hand lightly fell on the back of Shi Wanwan's hand, and he squatted in front of Shi Wanwan, looking firmly and sincerely. looking at her.

Shi Wanwan's heart, which was once cooled by this, was gradually aroused by Chu Yutang's words.She has seen through the darkness of the officialdom, and she hates the filth of merchants using money to ruin people's lives, so she doesn't want to be involved in this chaotic world again.

But Chu Yutang, who is so much simpler than himself, still persists in wanting to punish evil and promote good after knowing such a dark and innocent inside story, which deeply touched Shi Wanwan.

"Okay! Ah Chu, if you want, I will work hard with you." Shi Wanwan held Chu Yutang's hand instead, and her eyes, which were always deep and bottomless, gradually gained vitality.
