Zhao Jie put on his robe and quickly left the house. Su Xiaoxiao wanted to tell him something, but was stopped by Li Ke.

"After all, we are outsiders. What do you care about him?" Li Ke said, "These two women have caused so many obstacles for you. It's time to suffer some hardships."

Su Xiaoxin secretly agreed with Li Ke's words, but she didn't show it on her face.

She clenched her fist and lightly hit Li Ke's chest: "Your Highness is too narrow-minded. It was all a misunderstanding. Mrs. Lin and Mr. Zhao also did it for the people of Cangzhou. They suffered heavy losses, and now they are being blamed again."

, it’s really pitiful.”

Li Ke stretched out his hand to wrap Su Xiaoxiao's fist, rubbed Su Xiaoxiao's head tentatively and said, "You are still too kind. Everyone has his own destiny. He said he came here for your letter of help.

Seeing that you are living well, why are they still staying here? They are just using you as a cover. Why should they be so sympathetic to people with such dishonest intentions? "

Su Xiaoxiao was thoughtful and looked even more cute and innocent to Li Ke.

He wished he could hold Su Xiaoxiao in his arms and take it as his own, but he was afraid of scaring Su Xiaoxiao, so he could only clear his throat.

Thinking of Zhao Jie's skin that Su Xiaoxiao had touched just now, he felt angry and itched his teeth, thinking about whether to burn off or cut off Zhao Jie's skin next time.

Su Xiaoxiao could naturally see what Li Ke was thinking. She pretended to be angry. Zhou Yan was still displayed in her system list, which meant that Zhou Yan was still alive. Li Ke sent so many people to look for Zhou Yan.

All returned in vain.

For the sake of Zhou Yan's life, she couldn't let Li Ke kill Zhao Jie.

"If you say that again, I will really ignore you! Mr. Zhao is innocent!"

Li Ke saw that Su Xiaoxiao was angry, so he held him in his arms and coaxed him: "Okay, okay, I just won't do anything to him."

When Zhao Jie came to the door, he did not see Lin Xing, but only saw a large number of people surrounding the prefecture.

Seeing Zhao Jie, these people all showed fierce looks on their faces and said in sinister tones: "Oh, Mr. Zhao has finally come out. We thought you were dead after you haven't come out for so long!"

Before Zhao Jie fell into coma, these people only had this attitude towards the misunderstood Li Yanting.

Because Zhao Jie and Lin Xing were busy from morning to night in the refugee camp, everyone was grateful to them.

But within a few days of being comatose, their reputation had been turned upside down.

Zhao Jie asked: "What happened? Weren't you all fine three days ago? What happened these three days?"

"What is it? Ha! Doesn't Mr. Zhao know it better than we do?"

Zhao Jie's eyes fell on the person who spoke, and then he realized that the people surrounding the magistrate's office were all old, weak, women and children, and all the strong men who had been there had disappeared.

Their faces were red and black, and some of them had wounds on their bodies. They were familiar faces in the refugee camp.

Zhao Jie said with some patience: "I was stabbed by Qi Shaokang, and I was unconscious until now. I don't know anything about what happened during this period. If there is any misunderstanding, please come to me one by one. I, Zhao Jie,

I will definitely answer everyone’s questions, and we will not let what happened with Mr. Li happen again.”

"Bah! Are you still mentioning Li Yanting's ridiculous thing?" Someone spat suddenly, "My son was originally a soldier in the prefecture. Although he has always been used by Qi Shaokang, he has never

You have hurt Li Yanting, why should you kill my son!"

"The same is true for my husband. He didn't take action against Li Yanting, so why did he want to kill them all? Why didn't he kill Qi Shaokang, that dog official, but instead made it difficult for us, the lower class people, to make a living?"

"We spent everything we had to send my brother to the prefect. I will never forget how happy my brother was that day. It has only been two years now and he is only seventeen years old!"

Cries were everywhere, and Zhao Jie was also depressed. He clenched his hands into fists, looked at the concierge behind him and said, "Who did it? Who wants to kill these innocent soldiers?"

"I ordered him to be killed!" Zi Mo suddenly appeared behind Zhao Jie and shouted.

As soon as he appeared, the people in front of Zhao Jie became more violent.

Zi Mo raised his hand, and a new batch of government soldiers immediately stood in front of them, preventing them from entering.

Zhao Jie was pulled to the main hall by Zi Mo, where Qi Shaokang should have been sitting. Li Yanting was sipping tea carelessly. When he saw Zhao Jie coming, he pulled him to sit down with a smile: "Mr. Zhao, I can save my life.

Thanks also to you and Mrs. Lin."

Zhao Jie looked at Li Yanting steadily, feeling in a trance.

"Master Li, my mother and I both trust you and feel that you are really a good official for the country and the people. Did you want Zi Mo to order the soldiers to be killed..." Zhao Jie stood straight and asked.

.

Li Yanting paused in his movements and cast his scrutinizing gaze on Zi Mo.

Zi Mo knelt on the ground with a pop, lowered his eyes and said, "Sir, Mr. Zhao has woken up. He will know about this sooner or later."

"You, you." Li Yanting pointed at Zi Mo, not knowing what to say. After a pause, he returned to his seat, held his forehead and said, "Since you have guessed it, I won't hide it from you. Indeed,

I ordered him to be killed."

"Master Li, why are you doing this? They are just forced to do this." Zhao Jie looked excited, "You can come up with two hundred taels, but can't you let these driven soldiers go? Don't you love the people the most?

Is it done?"

"Don't talk about two hundred taels, two thousand taels, or twenty thousand taels. As long as I have it, I can give it out for the sake of the people, but I will never allow them to stab me in the back!" Li Yanting threw the tea cup, "Don't they have one?

Do you have any judgment ability? Under Qi Shaokang’s jurisdiction for so many years, don’t you still know what kind of person Qi Shaokang is?”

"Has all my hard work around the Baitiao River and Yiyang River turned into mist?"

Zhao Jie raised his voice: "They are being deceived!"

"Who was not deceived? Weren't you and Mrs. Lin listening to Qi Shaokang's side of the story at that time?" Li Yanting asked back, "If it hadn't been for you at that time, we would have died!"

Li Yanting took a step forward, counted on his fingers in front of Zhao Jie: "Mrs. Lin, you, me, Zi Mo, none of us can escape."

"Sir, there are no what-ifs, only facts, and the fact is that we all survived." Zhao Jie said, "Why do you think that I can make others put down their war with just two or three words? Do you really think that these are all my credit? You know

Why did I ask Zi Mo if he would let these soldiers go?"

"The people believe not me, but you who are really fair and just, so they would rather disobey their master at the time, Qi Shaokang, than go to war with us."

Zhao Jie looked at Zi Mo: "Don't you know best, Zi Mo, whether those people used their killing moves?"

If Zhao Jie argued with them, he would be so hasty that no one would notice this problem.

In other words, Li Yanting had known this for a long time, and he just breathed a sigh of relief.

"Sir, my mother and I used to think that you were a good official who could save my mother from fire and water. It seems that this idea is not completely right. Let's say goodbye." Zhao Jie bowed deeply to Li Yanting and left the room.
