Chapter 16 ? The Truth(1/2)
"I'm going to see her!"
This is the second time Jiang Shang said this to the butler.
This time, he was particularly determined.
The butler looked at Jiang Shang deeply, as if he could see his determination.
He was silent for a while, then nodded slowly and said:
"Okay, I'll take you there tomorrow."
When the butler left, Jiang Shang suddenly relaxed.
God knows that he is afraid that the butler will break up with him completely.
Fortunately, he bet right.
The housekeeper didn't want to attack him.
And what he said was the little fox Yun Xiaoniang who was about to be executed.
When Jiang Shang got the news from Xiaoyu, he wanted to meet her.
Even this might have exposed him some flaws in front of the butler.
But he wants the truth more.
There is another reason that is not easy to say.
That was the first time that Yun Xiaoniang gave it to him.
Well, to be precise, it was given to his body.
It was that stimulation that inspired Yun Xiaoniang's blood, otherwise she would still be just an ordinary, poor girl in Chunfeng Tower.
It's reasonable and reasonable, he must go this trip.
But he also knew that this would definitely not be hidden from the housekeeper, and he was not allowed to enter the jail if he wanted to, so he simply showed up.
After all, he is the master. Seeing that his attitude is firm, the housekeeper is likely to give in.
At worst, he will be taken more seriously in the future. Anyway, he can cheat when he sleeps, and he doesn't care that someone is always staring at him.
As for people, you have to be willful occasionally.
...
The next day.
The county jail is in the innermost prison. Yun Xiaoniang is imprisoned in the innermost cell.
Yun Xiaoniang is a half-demon who almost harmed humans, so she does not have the rights that ordinary people should have.
After asking the Taoist priest of Xuanyuan Temple to confirm the bloodline of her demon clan, the county government did not need to wait for the approval of the imperial court's Ministry of Justice. He could be executed on a date when he was executed after the autumn.
This is also Daxia's usual attitude towards the demon clan.
If you are not of my race, your heart will be different.
Moreover, the previous dynasty was destroyed by the demon clan, and Daxia could be said to have been rebuilt among the ruins destroyed by the demon clan.
The two demon-suppressing gates in the east and west have formed a deep blood feud with the demon clans abroad.
Every year, foreign demons will sneak into the territory of Daxia, either spy, take refuge, or simply yearn for human life.
In addition, after the destruction of the previous dynasty, most of the human races were ruled by the demon race for a period of time, and the existence of the local demon races also led to the complex bloodline left in the human race.
However, most people's bloodlines are lazy and there will be no abnormality until death.
But there are also a small number of people who can stimulate their bloodlines under specific stimuli and become half-demons.
In the eyes of the court, such a half-demon is no different from the demon clan, and is a key existence to attack.
After Yun Xiaoniang stimulated her bloodline, she was directly sentenced to death.
Because she was afraid that she would go crazy and the rumors that she sucked Jiang Shang to death, even such a beautiful young girl could still get into a single room in such a mixed prison environment, and no one dared to offend her at all.
Even the prison cells around her were forced to death by prisoners, and they would rather go out and squeeze with others than beside Yun Xiaoniang.
When Jiang Shang came over, the prison head who led the road seemed to be afraid of encountering some bad luck. He just explained it to him a few words and ran away quickly.
Jiang Shang opened the prison door and walked in, there was no taboo.
The people here only know that the demon clan is terrible, and they are afraid that Yun Xiaoniang will go crazy, transform into the demon clan, and even the legendary fox charm, so they can get people's essence and blood, and suck people into a selves.
But Jiang Shang had also sought learning in the Imperial College in Beijing, and had seen secrets that ordinary people didn't know. He knew that half demon was actually considered a human at the beginning, but he just let the court demonize it.
But he also understands that it is politically correct.
If you don’t promote the horror of the demon clan, do you have any legend of the White Snake and promote the beautiful love story between people and demons?
At that time, ordinary people will be lucky and want to be a hero for a while.
"Xiaoma Yun!"
Jiang Shang called her name lightly.
Yun Xiaoniang has no surname. She is an orphan and was bought by Chunfenglou.
She had been curled up in the haystack in the corner of the cell, lowering her head and covering her hair. Even Jiang Shang did not respond when she came in. Yun Xiaoniang, who was like a dead body, finally made a move when she heard Jiang Shang's voice.
She raised her head, slightly lifted the hair that was blocking her eyes, revealing a pale and bloodless and delicate face.
This face was stunning at first glance, but it was the kind that became more and more attractive as she looked at it. In addition, the blood of the fox demon awakened in her body brought a hint of charm in her purity.
Jiang Shang was a little fascinated for a moment.
He thought to himself no wonder when he was in the capital, he often heard some young men raising half-demonic women in their own house despite the strict orders of the court.
If he has the ability, he will be moved.
"Young Master Jiang!"
When Yun Xiaoniang saw Jiang Shang appear, she seemed to have come alive in an instant, and a light suddenly appeared in her eyes.
She didn't cry when she was arrested by the government, threw herself into this dark and dark prison, didn't cry when she was beaten by the annoying Taoist priest, and she didn't cry when she was hungry for seven days and seven nights.
But now she started crying:
"Woooo, they all lied to me and said I killed you. I didn't want to harm you, I didn't mean it."
Jiang Shang squatted down in front of her and asked in a soft voice:
"Are you worried about me?"
Yun Xiaoniang rubbed her red eyes, as if she was shy about Jiang Shang's eyes. She lowered her head slightly and replied as thin as a mosquito and flies:
"Um."
Jiang Shang's voice suddenly turned cold and said, "I did die once, but later I climbed out of the gates of hell."
Yun Xiaoniang's eyes shook, and she didn't dare to raise her head anymore. She seemed to feel Jiang Shang's cold gaze. Her already pale face turned pale at this moment.
After a while, she said with a hint of despair in her voice:
"Young Master Jiang, I'm sorry, are you here to take revenge?"
Jiang Shang continued: "No, I don't blame you for this, because I know you don't want this either."
Yun Xiaoniang looked up in surprise: "Really? Mr. Jiang, don't you blame me?"
"……Um."
Jiang Shang was silent for a while, suddenly approached Yun Xiaoniang, hugged her, and said in her ear in a voice that only the two of them could hear:
"Now I have some questions to ask you, I hope you don't lie to me."
Yun Xiaoniang, who was suddenly hugged, was caught off guard, but she did not resist. She just stiffened her body and leaned her head against Jiang Shang's shoulder, with a satisfied smile on her face.
Then she carefully put her hand on Jiang Shang's waist and replied carefully in his ear:
"Young Master Jiang, please ask."
"Why did you choose me that day?" Jiang Shang asked.
Yun Xiaoniang was bought by Chunfenglou and cultivated ace for several years. On the day she went out of the box, many people were willing to spend a lot of money on her.
But in the end she chose Jiang Shang.
But that day, Jiang Shang had no money, but just wrote a poem for her.
When he heard this question, Yun Xiaoniang looked a little dazed, as if she thought of that night again.
There was a romantic dress in white, and she was so happy that she raised her wine glass to her. She said to her like a teasing poem that made her heart beat like a teasing.
She held her and tried harder.
"Because, I like you."
Every word she said was very difficult and trembling, as if just saying these words would have consumed her life's courage.
Jiang Shang frowned a little confused.
If no one instructs him, then who can know that Yun Xiaoniang will stimulate her bloodline when she spends the night with him?
