As a typical playboy, Mo Min was naturally ignorant of these political matters.
"You all conspired to kill me! I'm going to die! You say it was a fight, but this wasn't just me! Xia Qingzhai hit me first, I'm covered in injuries, he almost beat me to death! If you're going to arrest people, you have to arrest Xia Qingzhai too!"
The county magistrate and others wished they could shut him up!
However, Jin Wenting paused.
As the young man stepped out of the shadows, his exceptionally handsome face was revealed to the warm winter sun.
His clothes were as black as ink, embroidered with faint, blood-red animal patterns. His black hair was blown about by the wind, and his handsome face was as beautiful as jade and as bright as the moon. His long, narrow black eyes were even colder than ice and snow!
Unconsciously, everyone looked up, and the moment their gaze met those cold and deep eyes, they immediately felt a chill as if they were in an icy, snowy mountain!
The young man's skin was not dark; in fact, it was quite fair, but not a pale, sickly white; rather, it was a warm, lustrous white, like jade.
His features were handsome, as if meticulously sculpted; his eyes were long and narrow, with a cool, thin gaze; his thick eyelashes cast dark shadows; and his thin lips were a pale red.
Elegant and noble, yet possessing a ruthless and bloodthirsty edge; handsome yet even more ferocious, she exudes a charm that inspires both struggle and fear, yet also compels one to submit.
He is indeed suspected of murdering his own relatives and forcing the emperor to abdicate; as an enemy, he is undoubtedly the most terrifying. But as his subjects, one can gain his deepest trust and generous rewards, and be willing to die for his sovereign.
At this moment, facing the handsome young man's face, seeing his raised eyebrows and mocking smile, he said indifferently, "Oh, you said you're covered in injuries?"
Mo Min felt a chill run down his spine, a sense of danger rising within him. He stammered, "No, no, I...it's not, I..."
The magistrate hurriedly shouted, "Speak properly!"
Normally, Mo Min would never have given the county magistrate any face, but this time, he was terrified by Jin Wenting, his hand had been broken by Jin's foot, and his head was spinning. Without thinking, he shouted, "That's right! He hit me first, I'm covered in injuries!"
Tong Su chimed in with a sneer: "Those who participate in the fight must be severely punished. You reported me for participating in the fight, are the injuries on your body evidence? But I didn't participate in the fight at all."
Ignoring the pain in his arm, Mo Min jumped up and down, yelling angrily, "How could you not have participated in the fight! We were the ones who got beaten up by you! Xia Qingzhai, you're dead!"
Tong Su looked at Jin Wenting with an innocent expression: "My lord, I really didn't lay a hand on him. He has no marks on his body. He's just making baseless accusations."
A smile flashed in Jin Wenting's eyes, but his face remained cold and indifferent: "What evidence do you have?"
“He said I was involved in a fight because I had bruises on him. But actually I was just a bystander. It was seven or eight of them fighting each other. In the midst of the commotion, Mo Min bumped into the wall by himself. I didn’t leave a single bruise on him.”
Mo Min was furious at Tong Su's ability to lie through her teeth: "You're talking nonsense! Wang Er, Liu Shitou! You two come and be our witnesses!"
The students still lying on the ground groaned and looked around. Unlike Mo Min, they were not oblivious to the situation. Although they did not know who the young man was, he must be an important figure!
Didn't you see that the county magistrate wasn't enough to be his lackey?
“My lord, Xia Qingzhai said Mo Min has no injuries, but Mo Min says he does. Why don’t we just take a look?” One of the smarter ones rolled his eyes and said, “Just strip Mo Min’s clothes off and see if he has any injuries. That will tell us the truth.”
