Chapter 181 A hero saves a beauty?
Liu Mang ignored the scream, and the other servants in the yard also lowered their heads, as if they had heard nothing.
Since you are planning to go to the execution ground, you must be fully prepared.
Liu Mang turned to the warehouse, wanting to get some things in case of emergency.
He was halfway there when he was stopped by the doorman.
"Sir, the Left Vice Minister of Works has sent a letter inviting you to his house for a chat." As he spoke, the doorman handed over the letter respectfully.
Liu Mang frowned slightly, took the note, and took a quick look. It was indeed sent by Lord Bai, the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Works.
Why would that stubborn guy send me a message?
Liu Mang stroked the post with a hesitant look.
He knew that Lin Zhiqing had cured Miss Bai's eyes.
In the past, he had some thoughts of making friends with this Lord Bai. After all, Lord Bai was related to the Grand Secretary's Mansion and was a man of some skill.
But ever since Lin Zhiqing became involved with it, he lost interest in it.
Anyone who is on good terms with the Lin family is Liu Mang's enemy.
Moreover, Lord Bai was very arrogant in the past, and he rejected every invitation Liu Mang sent him.
The Lin family is currently at the center of controversy, and this post is particularly inappropriate.
Could it be that... Liu Mang couldn't help but think further.
The Lin family does have evidence in their hands. Was it Lin Zhiqing who persuaded Lord Bai to delay himself and not let him go to the execution ground?
Liu Mang narrowed his eyes, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was a possibility.
Otherwise, who would post such a bizarre message when that idiot from the Lin family is about to be executed?
If this post had been sent by any other adult, he would not have thought of this.
But the relationship between the Bai family and Lin Zhiqing is really intriguing.
At this hour, if I accept the invitation to go to the Bai family, I will definitely miss Lin Congyan's execution time.
If he wasn't at the execution ground, wouldn't that allow Lin Zhiqing to make random accusations with the so-called evidence?
No!
Not only could he not respond to the Bai family's invitation, but he also had to leave early.
In order to hold him back, the Lin family might do anything.
Thinking of this, he waved his hand and said to the doorman: "The post has been returned. Also, quickly prepare the carriage, now!"
"Yes, sir!" The doorman took the order and left.
After an incense stick of time, an ordinary carriage stopped at the gate of Liu's mansion.
Liu Mang went out with the guard who had just been brought from the family.
In addition, he also brought four guards and a coachman.
This is the first time for a group of seven people.
But when the guard saw the driver, he couldn't help but frowned: "Why you? Didn't I order someone else?"
"Old Wang has a stomachache today and can't come." The driver replied quickly.
Because Lao Wang was good at martial arts, the guards wanted to take him with them.
But now Liu Mang was in a hurry to go out. He also felt that the people he brought with him were all experts and he didn't need any more, so he waved his hand and said, "Forget it, let's get on with our journey."
After saying this, he got into the carriage.
The guard walked to the side of the carriage and stood by with his hands hanging down, while the other four guards were scattered around.
Soon, the carriage started moving.
There was still some distance from Liu's house to the vegetable market, so the coachman took the busiest road.
This road requires going around Xishi and heading east. The distance is of course farther than going directly from Xishi to Caichangkou.
But Liu Mang's carriage never passed through the dirty West Market, which was something all the coachmen in Liu's mansion knew well.
Halfway through the journey, the driver changed the route and took a quiet road.
Next, just turn left at the end of the path to turn from the East Market street market to the residential area of the people.
That is the only way to get from the East Market to the West Market.
The path was very quiet, with almost no special sounds except the occasional sound of the wind.
However, the lanterns on both sides of the street were very conspicuous and attracted the attention of the guards, because there were also many lanterns in Liu's mansion.
Although it was daytime, the lanterns here seemed to be lit inside, with candlelight flickering inside.
Fortunately, the road was not long and they soon reached a fork in the road.
The driver waved the reins, intending to turn left.
"drive!"
The horse skillfully turned to the left, but before it could completely turn, a slightly surprised woman's scream was heard.
Then there was the sound of someone falling to the ground.
There's someone around the corner!
Realizing this, the driver quickly tightened the reins: "Whoa~"
The horse's movements were restrained, but inertia caused the horse's center of gravity to be unable to be suppressed, and its front hooves were instantly stretched high.
If it fell, even an adult man would probably die on the spot.
The driver was a little panicked.
The woman's screams came one after another, sounding very terrified.
The guard frowned and had no intention of going forward.
The road is only this wide. The person on the left didn't look at the road, so he deserved to be trampled to death by the horse.
But he knew that his master was a kind person when he was out there, and was afraid of getting into big trouble, so he quickly stepped forward to check the situation.
As his gaze shifted, he saw a woman in white with a veil on her head sitting on the ground in front of the horse, her body still trembling slightly.
The guard frowned. This kind of weak and boneless woman was the most troublesome. If it weren't for the shock of the carriage, he would not even look at her on normal days.
At this moment, a breeze blew over, blowing up the veil of the woman in white a little.
The first thing that caught the guard's eye was a pair of frightened eyes like a deer.
The strange thing is that they are clearly a pair of phoenix eyes, but they don't look sharp.
Then, he saw two clear tears falling on the face of the woman with messy skirt and hairpins.
Her skin was whiter than snow, her long eyelashes trembled slightly like cicada wings, and a few strands of hair were casually scattered on both sides of her cheeks. Her wet eyes made her look so pitiful.
The guard's heart seemed to be hit by something. Seeing the beautiful woman's pleading eyes, he jumped up and pulled the person out from under the horse's hooves.
The sound of horse hooves falling startled Liu Mang in the carriage.
Although all this happened in just a few seconds, after such a bumpy ride, Liu Mang's heart was already in his throat.
"What's going on?" He held onto the car wall, his chest heaving slightly, and pulled open the curtain.
"Your Excellency, a woman just blocked the carriage and startled the horses, causing some bumps." The guard came to his senses and answered.
"Give some money and ask someone to go to the clinic." Liu Mang glanced at the crying woman in white wearing a veil and lowered the curtain.
"Yes!" the guard answered and reached for his purse.
But before he could take out the silver, a pair of soft and boneless little hands pressed on his big hands.
"Brave man, you...you saved me, thank you!" The beauty's voice was delicate.
Feeling the delicate touch of those soft hands, the guard was a little distracted.
"You're welcome. My master is so kind. You can take this silver..." He wanted to push the beautiful woman's hand away, but for some reason, he couldn't move it after trying.
Just when he was feeling a little puzzled, the beauty withdrew her hand and fell into his arms.
Such a close distance...
The guard was a little at a loss. The beauty in his arms had a very special fragrance on her body, which he seemed to have smelled somewhere before.
It’s like… the smell of freshly written words by adults when they are practicing calligraphy.
Just as he was about to listen carefully, the beauty blushed and said, "Hero, there's no need for money. It was my carelessness that caused you trouble."
The voice sounded like a spoiled child, making people feel itchy.
The guard's face also turned red, and he completely forgot about the carriage behind him.
Just as he was about to speak, the woman in white supported his shoulders, slipped out of his arms, and turned away.
The guard's eyes became hazy and charming for a moment, then regained clarity in an instant.
He did not forget his identity and mission, and turned around and walked back to the carriage.
