With that said, Baili Wuchen motioned for Ling Ye to step forward for execution.

Although Murong Yan looked calm, he knew that Ling Ye was a selfless person.

If this girl falls into his hands, she will probably suffer a lot.

After all, he felt a little compassion for the girl who shared his sorrow.

Ling Ye didn't hesitate, he raised his long whip and was about to hit him.

But he was grabbed by Murong Yan.

"Wait a minute, let me ask her again!"

Then he looked at the girl anxiously and said, "Why are you so stubborn? If the group of people behind you still care about your life and death, then today, they will not let you rush up the mountain alone!"

After they learned the news, they also sent people down the mountain to inquire about the whereabouts of these people.

As for the people who reported back, it turned out that these wine merchants had a small group.

But this morning, all those people left the Holy City.

Even if they sent people to chase them now, I'm afraid they would have lost their whereabouts long ago.

This girl is just a smoke bomb left by them to divert their attention and delay time so that those people can escape.

To put it bluntly, she is just an abandoned child.

The woman bit her lips tightly, her eyes filled with water.

Lin Mengya saw that the preparation was almost complete, so she became even more angry.

"Girl, I don't know what the grudges are between you and me. But everything can be discussed. Why don't we talk about it calmly? Maybe there are some misunderstandings."

Although she is beautiful, her gentleness makes it easy for people to let down their guard.

The woman's eyes looked at her with a bit of bitterness for some reason.

"You won't understand..."

The woman collapsed and closed her eyes, as if accepting her fate but also struggling.

Lin Mengya quickly exchanged a look with her man.

Judging from the girl's words, it is obvious that she has her own reasons.

If that's the case, it's easy to handle.

Lin Mengya's tone became more gentle, "I really don't understand, but I also know that you haven't destroyed your humanity yet."

Then, she boldly guessed again.

"You didn't kill that man, right?"

The woman suddenly shook her whole body, and then shook her head desperately.

"No! I killed him, I took advantage of him! Later, I was afraid that he would reveal my whereabouts, so I killed him to silence him!"

But Lin Mengya stepped forward and took the woman's right hand.

Everyone saw that the woman's palms were stained with coagulated blood.

Lin Mengya slowed down and then said softly, "Your dominant hand is your right hand. If it was really you who killed the person at that time, then your right hand should be holding the weapon tightly. In this way, the palm of your hand

There shouldn't be so much blood."

The woman waved her hand, trying to wipe away the blood on her hand.

While wiping, he shouted, "I'm the one who killed him, it's me!"

These words were understood by several people in the execution room.

She was protecting someone.

Murong Yan looked at the girl in front of him and couldn't bear it after all.

Turning back, he said to Lin Mengya and his wife, "I think let's forget about this matter. After all, she may not know much."

This is Murong Yan’s pioneering words.

But Lin Mengya couldn't let her go.

After all, she promised the little girl to find her father's murderer.

Lowering her eyes, she said after a long while, "I'm sorry. If she doesn't tell the truth, I can only regard her as a murderer. It is only natural to kill people to pay debts and pay back money."

Murong Yan knew that there was no room for change, so he could only take a deep look at the woman and sighed.

The woman kept her head lowered and did not dare to look at Murong Yan.

The ambiguous friendship between the two completely dissipated at any time.

"That's all. You can do whatever you want, but please don't embarrass her too much."

Murong Yan's plea seemed a little feeble.

He knew that if he begged the couple, he might not be able to find a way out for the girl.

But if you do this, you are trapping your brother into injustice.

Before leaving, Murong Yan turned his back to the girl and said sincerely, "No matter who the person you want to protect is, as long as he has any conscience, he should come to save you."

The girl who had been lowering her head just showed a wry smile when she heard this.

After a long time, she said softly to the empty execution room.

"sorry."

Interrogating the girl yielded no results, which didn't mean anything to Lin Mengya.

Murong Yan, on the other hand, said he was fine, but in fact he was depressed for a few days.

It's a pity that the things before him were too much, which washed away his sadness.

The death of the empress is still a big knife hanging over their heads.

Even if Murong Yan believes in them, others may not.

Murong Yan personally confirmed that the person who met Hou Zun before was not him.

Indeed, if the emperor already knew that he was here, he would at least find a way to get him out.

She loved Murong Yan so much, how could she be willing to watch her child suffer?

Unexpectedly, things came to a standstill again

Bureau.

In fact, they all suspected that the other party drew their attention to the fifth floor just to find out Murong Yan and put the blame on him.

At Murong Yan's insistence, they took him to the coffin of the empress.

Murong Yan, who was disguised as an attendant, had red eyes when he saw his mother's body.

He clenched his fists tightly, his emotions collapsed and he could not control himself.

"Mother, all children are unfilial!"

He knelt in front of his mother's coffin, trying hard to control his voice.

Since he was a child, his mother has always taken him as her top priority.

But in the end, he never even saw the last side of his mother.

He claimed that he left for the sake of the peace of the world.

But they ignored that in fact, all the mother's starting points were because of her love for herself.

Everyone in the world can say something bad about his mother, but he alone should not feel the slightest bit of resentment.

However, the past cannot be recalled. All he can do now is to find out the real culprit behind the murder of his mother!

He wiped a handful of tears fiercely. The pain of losing his mother made Murong Yan a little more tenacious and fortitude.

He looked at Long Tianyu again and told him his request.

"I hope you can promise me to let me follow you to investigate this matter."

Long Tianyu had no reason to refuse this request.

But now all the clues point to Murong Yan, and he must change his identity.

"It's okay to agree to it, but you also have to agree to one condition."

Lin Mengya and Long Tianyu had a clear understanding of each other and whispered, "In addition to not revealing your identity yourself, you must listen to his words and not act impulsively."

It can be said that the ups and downs of the past six months have polished the last innocence in Murong Yan's character into sharp edges.

Although this is not a bad thing for Murong Yan, it may make him too impulsive.

When the time comes, it is only a small thing to alert the snake, but it will disrupt the overall arrangement of the big guy, so it is better to let him wait for the final result.

Murong Yan nodded deeply without thinking.

The way Long Tianyu looked at him also softened a lot, and the two brothers finally settled their differences.
