"Mom, I'm here to save you." Little Mo'er's soft voice carried an unquestionable tone.
Xiao Moer glanced at Xue Qian and said, "She is my mother. I will save her myself."
He used to be very annoying.
I hate his self-righteous kindness.
Hate his ignorance.
I hate him because he is someone my mother doesn't like.
However, when he was asked to be the drummer, he did not hesitate at all.
He knew it was a dead end and a road of no return for him, but he did not hesitate.
There was not a trace of struggle.
Without a trace of hesitation.
Xiao Moer finally softened his heart. He couldn't just watch him die.
"You can't go." Dai Xiang pulled his sleeve, "If anyone has to go, I'll go."
Xiao Moer slowly pried her hands away from her body, "This is my decision."
Xiao Moer saw An Ye move, "You don't go either."
Only if he plays this role can it attract more attention and gain His Majesty's attention. He wants to help his mother accomplish everything she wants, even if he gets hurt.
All three of them stopped in their tracks. They could see that he was determined.
"Master Mo'er, I can't watch you die. I am worthless and death is not a pity. If it weren't for Sister Mu, I wouldn't be able to live this kind of life. Now it's time for me to repay her." Dai Xiang said with a choked voice.
Xiao Moer directly pressed the acupuncture points of Dai Xiang and Xue Qian, and said to An Ye, "Keep an eye on them."
He walked up to the two guards and said, "I am willing to accept the beating."
"Are you sure?" The guard looked at the child in front of him in shock.
"I'm sure."
"good."
The guards immediately ordered people to bring stools and boards, and more and more people gathered around to watch.
"That child deserves a hundred lashes of the cane. How could his small body possibly endure that?"
"Yes. I remember a few years ago, a strong man, despite his size, tried to seek justice for his wife. He was beaten with seventy sticks and died. He didn't get justice for his wife, and he even lost his life."
"Hey, isn't this the little prodigy?"
"It really is him."
"He's trying to overturn his mother's verdict. Didn't he say his mother had already signed and sealed it?"
"Yeah, why do we have to go to Dengwengu?"
"Everyone who goes to Dengwen Tower has suffered grievances. It's likely that his mother was truly wronged."
"But she signed it herself, so how could she be wrong?" a woman asked in confusion.
An old man said in a deep voice, "Alas, signing is not that difficult. If someone is forced to confess under torture and cannot withstand the punishment, there won't be many people who will sign."
"Oh my, I don't know what misdeeds this mother and son have committed. One thing leads to another."
"It's really pitiful for this child. He's so handsome and a scholar at such a young age. He'll definitely become a high-ranking official when he grows up. Now he's going to be caned. What a pity."
Many people looked at Xiao Moer with pity.
The guard looked at Xiao Mo'er and asked again, "Are you sure you want to go to Dengwen Tower?"
They all heard the discussions outside and knew that he was the child prodigy who became a scholar at a young age. They couldn't help but feel jealous of his talent and couldn't bear to see him die in vain.
"Thank you for your kindness, uncle. I will definitely go up to Dengwen Tower today. As a son, knowing that my mother has been wronged, how can I sit idly by and watch?"
