One who stole the Son of Heaven
Chapter 6
The soft lips came towards him with a warm breath, and Yi Linshui's eyes were fixed on Lan Yinheng for a long time, which made him blush and close his eyes.
Unexpectedly, not only did Yi Linshui's hand not divide it, but he tore off Lan Yinheng's shirt even more impatiently, and rubbed against his skin carefully.
"Um...no..." Lan Yinheng didn't know when he was kissed dizzily by the other party and fell to the ground. When he woke up a little bit, he found that his clothes had been taken off layer by layer, revealing A white chest.
"At a time like this... I can't stop." Yi Linshui smiled, his voice was a little hoarse, and he loosened Lan Yinheng's pants with his big hands, exposing his pair of snow-white and slender legs.
Lan Yinheng was so ashamed that he tightly closed his legs, took his hand and murmured: "Didn't you say that you would let me go if I said it? It's not a gentleman's action to turn back your promise..."
"But I'm a man! You said you like me, so how can I do nothing?" Yi Linshui blinked viciously, and while he was hesitating, put his fingers into the gap between his buttocks In the meantime, the stimulation of the foreign body made Lan Yinheng curl up nervously, unable to speak any more.
"I'm responding to you! Lady, relax a little, or it will hurt..." Yi Linshui whispered in his ear in a gentle voice, and separated his legs without hesitation, letting himself fingers penetrated deeply.
"Ah..." When has Lan Yinheng been treated like this?The tingling pain in his lower body made him involuntarily shed two strings of tears, his body trembled involuntarily, and his pussy clenched Yi Linshui's fingers tightly.
"Relax...I can't help it anymore, but I don't want you to get hurt..." Yi Linshui softly comforted him, kissed his cheek again to distract him, restrained himself and waited for the person in his arms to completely relax.
"Hmm..." Panting, Lan Yinheng bit his wrist, and finally hesitantly relaxed himself.
The waterfall not far away was so powerful that the sound of hitting the rocks gradually drowned out his panting.
The legs exposed in the cold water were firmly coiled around Yi Linshui's waist, swinging up and down with his rhythm, Lan Yinheng just closed his eyes and felt everything with his body.
This feeling is very strange. As the king of a country, he is pressed down by a beggar with a baby face who doesn't know his origin, and panting like a woman... If it were normal or someone else, he would have been ashamed I can't wait to bite my tongue and kill myself.
But when he thought that the person who entered his body and invaded the depths was the person who disturbed his original peace of mind and caused him to think about it these days, the shame was relieved a lot, and there was even a little bit of shame. A little joy, a little excitement.
"Yi Linshui..." He whispered, and when the other party lowered his head to respond softly, he stretched out his hands to hug the other party's neck, and pressed them tightly against his face.
"This is the first time for me...so, you...you have to stay with me forever..."
It was the first time he willingly succumbed to others, the first time he was sincere to someone, and it was also the first time he forgot to "think twice before acting". He didn't even know how to go on in the future, and he only hoped that the other party was as sincere as he was Treat each other without deceit, and be able to face the bumpy road ahead with him hand in hand...
"Ah?" Yi Linshui paused, but Lan Yinheng let go of his hands, lay flat on the grass, panted heavily and closed his eyes, gradually losing consciousness from exhaustion.
Looking at the person with eyes closed, Yi Linshui couldn't help but lowered his head, kissed the other person's lips lovingly, and smiled slightly, "It's so difficult, you say such things, I will never let you go... "
Forever...will be together, right?As long as you have each other's words in your heart...

At sunset, Lan Yinheng woke up quietly, sat up and was already in the carriage.Looking outside the carriage, I realized that the carriage had reached the bank of the river beach at some point.
"Hmm..." He got out of the carriage with his hands on his forehead, and sat next to Yi Linshui who was driving the carriage. The pain under his body made him quickly remember that before he fainted, he was in that picturesque place with this man What did the mountains and rivers do.
Lan Yinheng's face suddenly became hot, and he lowered his head. Although he didn't speak, his heart was turbulent.
How could he do such a thing?and this oily guy...
Is it forced to have sex, or is it impulsive?
No, it's not forced... At least, he knew very well that when Yi Linshui hugged him, he didn't think of refusing at all, but instead responded naturally, and only then did the upheaval happen.
It's just that when he thinks that he forgot to be ashamed to do that kind of thing, his heart is in a state of agitation. He doesn't feel regretful, but he is a little concerned. He chose to abandon all dignity and combine with the other party, but what about Yi Linshui?Could it be that he just does things as he pleases and doesn't have his own existence in his heart?
"..." Lan Yinheng wanted to speak several times, but the words stuck in his throat.
What can I do?Do you want him to let go of his identity again and beg the other party to say that he likes him?
"I..." But he still wanted to say it, to let the other party know that he was serious.
Seriously paid and responded to his courtship seriously, so I also hope that he is also serious about himself, not just treat himself as a toy, just play with it and let it go...
"Look! It's Jiang!" Yi Linshui didn't hear Lan Yinheng's low voice. The long silence between the two of them almost exhausted his patience. He wanted to find something to talk about, but he still didn't know. What should I say? I wanted to ask about Lan Yinheng's physical condition, but I was afraid that the other party would be too shy and avoid me.
The person in front of him was like a precious glazed doll, which would shatter if he squeezed it a little bit, if he pressed too hard, he would lose him instead.
Now that things were like this, he didn't want this person to run away from him, but he didn't know whether those sweet words to women would work for Lan Yinheng, who was also a man with a special status.
Just when he was struggling with how to speak, the sound of the rushing river not far away finally relieved him.
He pointed forward with joy on his face, "After crossing this river, we will be in the south of the Yangtze River!"
I seldom see Dajiang on weekdays. Hearing what he said, Lan Yinheng couldn't help but look in the direction he pointed, but through the woods, he could only see the dark sky in the distance and hear the sound of huge waves rolling in. .
Yi Linshui tightened the reins, stopped the carriage by the side of the road, jumped off the carriage, and stretched out his hand to Lan Yinheng, "Go, I'll show you the scenery! Haven't you never seen the river?"
Lan Yinheng hesitated for a moment, but finally stretched out his hand and let him help him out of the car.
The two walked into the woods, and after bypassing a huge rock, the sound of the turbulent turbulence became more and more clear. Lan Yinheng couldn't help speeding up his pace and walked to the edge of the cliff.
The scenery in front of me suddenly opened up. There were huge waves under the cliffs, and the river was wide. I couldn't see the edge, and I didn't know where it ended.
"This is the river?" Lan Yinheng was a little surprised. He would believe that such a vast water surface was the sea. Could it be that they have reached the mouth of the sea?
"This is indeed a river, but it's the same as in previous years..." Yi Linshui frowned, pointing to the other side of the river, "There used to be one village after another, but now, those villages have been submerged by the river."
"Jiangnan... Flood? It's so serious!" Lan Yinheng clenched his fists tightly, staring at the river under his feet with frowns.
Didn't the Ministry of Industry say that the flood has already started to recede?However, Jiang Lang in front of him showed no tendency to restrain himself at all, he was still baring his teeth and claws, and he did not know how many fertile lands and homes he had swallowed.
"Do you know why the floods are raging this year?" Yi Lin asked with a smile on his face.
Lan Yinheng thought back for a while, and what he said was the reason given by the Ministry of Industry, "There is too much rain this year, causing the water to get out of control..."
"Hehe, is that so?" Shrugging his shoulders, Yi Linshui seemed a little helpless, "Now there is only a ferry at Jiangkou, a few miles away, we have to get there as soon as possible, otherwise it will be too late."
"Wait." Lan Yinheng heard that he didn't agree with his answer, so he stopped him, looking straight into the other person's eyes and asked, "What do you want to tell me? What is the cause of the flood?"
"Well... I can't say anything on my own. When you get to the ferry and meet the refugees fleeing, you can ask them." Yi Linshui turned around and went to pull the horse.
Lan Yinheng remained silent, and followed into the carriage, thinking about the answer in his heart.
After rushing non-stop, the two finally arrived at the ferry before receiving the boat.
In front of the ferry, many refugees who just came from the opposite ferry gathered. They all looked sallow, emaciated and disheveled. Even the children nestled in the arms of their mothers seemed to be dying.
Lan Yinheng's heart tightened for a while.I thought that the beautiful scenery of Jiangnan would make people linger, but I didn't expect that Jiangnan at this time is simply a hell that people can't avoid.
And those courtiers who said that they are for the country and the people every day, did not know what method they used to blind his eyes, so that he could not see the darkness under his feet...
Yi Linshui presented the carriage to the family who had fled with their families, and the large group of people were so grateful that they kept paying their respects to the two of them.
"You're welcome, you're welcome!" Yi Linshui hastily helped up the old farmer in charge, glanced at the thoughtful people around him, and asked, "Old man, I don't know why the floods are so severe this year? Are you old? The wrath of the sky, caused by too much rain?"
"Oh, this young master can tell at a glance that he is not from Jiangnan. Every year in this season, Jiangnan is constantly raining. Ten years ago, the rain was heavier and lasted longer than this year, and there was no flood!" After hearing his words, the old farmer kept shaking his head and sighed.
"No one in this thousand miles knows that this flood is clearly a man-made disaster! Man-made disaster!"
"What is a man-made disaster?" Hearing this, Lan Yinheng hurriedly asked, although he had already guessed a thing or two about the answer in his heart.
"I don't know, my lord. Last year, the prefect of Jiangling reported to the court that the dams on both sides of the river should be repaired..."
After saying something, the old farmer hesitated for a moment, then suddenly leaned in front of the two of them and said in a low voice, "You can't talk nonsense about this matter, if the government hears about it..."
"Don't worry, old man, we won't talk nonsense." Yi Linshui patted the old farmer's chest to assure him, and the old farmer continued.
"I think the two sons are good people, so I told the truth... The prefect of Jiangling reported to the court that the dam was going to be built, and the court did allocate money, but the money was privately divided by those dog officials. !"
"This..." Lan Yinheng was startled, "Is this really true? Is there any evidence?"
"My son, old man, why should I lie to you? The Long Live Lord in the court hall is confused about this matter, but we ordinary people know it very well! The dog officials have withheld silver taels layer by layer, and there is not enough money to really use it for repairs. One-tenth of the original appropriation! If you ask for evidence, when the flood recedes, you can go to the Hongxi Mansion above and look at the dam mouth there. The foundation stone of the dam was used to make up the downstream, the east wall was demolished to make up the west wall, and the people were conscripted as coolies, but they were not paid. My nephew died of exhaustion on the dam!"
The more the old farmer spoke, the more angry he became, his eyes were red, and he almost burst into tears, "Don't you think this is a man-made disaster? These dog officials, the officials protect each other, and the Long Live God is kept in the dark! Some people in our village want to go to the capital to sue the imperial court , but was imprisoned and sentenced by the governor of the capital as some kind of night walker, saying that they stole the money from the rich family... Poor, those who went there have not come back alive... Sigh, I really don’t know what is going on in the world!"
"Old man, don't worry, there will be a turning point. Dark clouds can never cover the sky, right, Heng Yi?" Yi Linshui turned his head and looked straight at Lan Yinheng.
I didn't expect that after all my wanderings in the capital, I would be used by those dog officials to block those poor people who wanted to sue. The annoyance in my heart was no less than that of Lan Yinheng at this time.
Lan Yinheng bit his lip, and replied in a low voice: "Long Live Lord will understand sooner or later..."
Sitting up in the palace, I have no idea how serious the disaster is here, and I can't understand the sadness of the refugees.
Did I do something wrong?Listening to those lawless courtiers, that's why the victims were displaced, and that's why Yi Linshui thinks he is a faint king...
"He will understand, old man, don't worry!" As if he had made some important decision, he held the old farmer's hand, his eyes shining with determination.
This time Yi Linshui didn't interrupt, just stared at his face with a slight smile on his lips.
After bidding farewell to the refugees, the two crossed the river by boat, rented a new horse, and traveled overnight, arriving at an old city early the next morning.
The wet bluestone road stretches all the way to the river outside the city, and the morning glow has just dyed half of the sky red, and the light illuminates the plaque hanging high on the gate of the city wall... "Jiangling Mansion".
"We've arrived at that dog official's site. Be careful and don't cause any trouble." Yi Linshui hugged the man who had been stern all the way from the horse, and told him earnestly.
"I understand." Lan Yinheng replied softly.This time he came out of the palace with his identity hidden. Now he is not an emperor, but a wanderer like Yi Linshui. Only in this way can he see the ugliness of those courtiers more clearly.
Covering his face with a bamboo hat, Lan Yinheng followed closely behind Yi Linshui into the city.
Jiangling Mansion is the largest mansion in the south of the Yangtze River, with beautiful scenery and outstanding people. Not only are there countless wealthy businessmen gathering and exchanging goods, but also many literati travel here, leaving countless famous poems and lines. Even the small restaurants by the river can hear today's talented people. The little tunes and tunes he made, the sound of orchestral strings and bamboos can be heard endlessly.
But the superficial singing and dancing could not completely conceal the truth. When Yi Linshui led Lan Yinheng around the bustling street and walked into the alley, another scene greeted his eyes.
Many ragged people walked slowly forward in a line, their eyes fixed on the line in front of them, as if they were expecting something.
Lan Yinheng followed everyone's line of sight, and saw a few beggars in the same shabby clothes standing at the front of the line. There were many sacks under their feet, and the sacks were filled with white rice.
"What are you doing?" Lan Yinheng blurted out.This sound attracted the attention of the poor people around him.
"Hmph, this is the beggar gang's food distribution! A rich man like you, what do you do in this kind of place?" A young man glanced at Lan Yinheng with an uneasy look, and he took a step back a little.
Seeing these people, Lan Yinheng always felt guilty and couldn't face it.
"Could you be the lackey of those dog officials?" Another middle-aged man came forward with a fierce face, as if Lan Yinheng had killed his whole family.
"You dog officials and rich landlords, you have forced us poor people into such a situation, and you still can't understand the beggar gang's righteous actions, making things difficult for you everywhere! You..."
The cursing of the middle-aged people attracted more poor people to watch. When they heard that the person who came was probably an accomplice of the "dog officer", the poor couldn't hold back their anger anymore, and they couldn't care less about waiting in line for relief. They rolled up their clothes one by one. sleeve, waved his fist, and surrounded Lan Yinheng and Yi Linshui.
Lan Yinheng had never seen such a scene before, so he couldn't help but moved to Yi Linshui's side, and grabbed his arm nervously.
But Yi Linshui didn't care, patted the back of his hand lightly, and said with a slight smile, "Don't be nervous, it's fine."
"What's going on?" The beggar, who was distributing food and relief, saw that the line was chaotic behind him, so he came forward to check. When he pulled away the people around him, squeezed into the encirclement, and saw Yi Linshui, surprise appeared on his face , stepped forward and grabbed Yi Linshui's hand, "Brother Yi!"
"Brother Liu Zhu, how are you in the gang recently?" Yi Linshui smiled slightly, revealing two dimples, and the beggar named Liu Zhu responded immediately.
"It's all good, all is good! It's just that those dog officials bully people too much. They come to provoke trouble again and again, just want to catch us!"
He was about to continue talking, but he caught sight of Lan Yinheng standing behind Yi Linshui, "Who is this?"
"Oh, this is a friend of mine in the capital. I'll take him to Jiangnan for fun." Yi Linshui dragged Lan Yinheng out from behind him and introduced them to each other, "This is Brother Liu Zhu, this is Heng Brother Yi."
"Since you're a friend of Brother Yi, you're a friend of all of us! It's just that this friend, you came here by accident. There will be floods in the south of the Yangtze River this year. I'm afraid it won't be worth seeing." Liu Zhu rubbed the back of his head a little ashamed.
But Yi Linshui smiled at Lan Yinheng, "He just came to see the flood! I said the flood was severe, but he didn't believe it. He has seen it now, right? Those who lined up to receive food were all deeply affected by the flood. Where are the refugees!"
"This flood is rare in a hundred years! How do you people in the capital know?"
"That's right, the capital city is under the feet of the emperor, so we can't see our sufferings. If you let your capital city also experience the feeling of flooding your home, I don't think the emperor's child will be able to sit comfortably on the dragon chair!"
After hearing this, the refugees around seemed to have found a target to vent their grievances. You said something to each other, and every sentence was sarcastic, which made Lan Yinheng a little unable to adapt, and subconsciously wanted to back away.
But the more he wanted to escape, the more Yi Linshui would not let him go, and he announced loudly to the refugees who had already been ignited, "Everyone, my friend knows a big man in the capital. If you have any problems, you should go to him quickly." Said, turn around and ask him to find a big shot for you to complain about!"
"Ah! My son, my sons were all dragged to repair the dam by those corrupt officials and never came back. You have to make the decision for me!"
"My house was washed away by the flood, and my whole family was scattered. I don't know how many are still alive. My son, you must avenge us. The flood is not all caused by those dog officials!"
"Those officials don't care about human life! They even sent troops to suppress us unarmed people, causing death and injury to our village!"
Hearing that Lan Yinheng had the ability to report the matter to the court, the enthusiasm of the poor people rose again, and one after another crowded in front of him, and it didn't take long to surround him.
"Slow down..." There were people all around, and Lan Yinheng was so crowded that he couldn't move, so he could only look for the guy who caused trouble for him in the crowd and ask for help.
But Yi Linshui had already followed Liu Zhu out of the crowd, stood outside the circle, turned to look at him, saw that his eyes were full of sorrow, just smiled lightly, made a grimace, and followed Liu Zhu into the alley .
"Yi Linshui!" Lan Yinheng was trembling with anger, how could he not care about his life?
The poor people around him talked to each other, and the noisy sound gave him a headache, and the sour smell from the poor people almost made him faint.
"Take your time, take your time! I'll write them down one by one." In the end, he could only stretch out his hands, begging for mercy. "I will help everyone, but please speak slowly and in detail...one by one..."
Unexpectedly, not only did Yi Linshui's hand not divide it, but he tore off Lan Yinheng's shirt even more impatiently, and rubbed against his skin carefully.
"Um...no..." Lan Yinheng didn't know when he was kissed dizzily by the other party and fell to the ground. When he woke up a little bit, he found that his clothes had been taken off layer by layer, revealing A white chest.

If you ask for evidence, when the flood recedes, you can go to the Hongxi Mansion above and look at the dam mouth there. The foundation stone of the dam was used to make up the downstream, the east wall was demolished to make up the west wall, and the people were conscripted as coolies, but they were not paid. My nephew died of exhaustion on the dam!"
The more the old farmer spoke, the more angry he became, his eyes were red, and he almost burst into tears, "Don't you think this is a man-made disaster? These dog officials, the officials protect each other, and the Long Live God is kept in the dark! Some people in our village want to go to the capital to sue the imperial court , but was imprisoned and sentenced by the governor of the capital as some kind of night walker, saying that they stole the money from the rich family... Poor, those who went there have not come back alive... Sigh, I really don’t know what is going on in the world!"
"Old man, don't worry, there will be a turning point. Dark clouds can never cover the sky, right, Heng Yi?" Yi Linshui turned his head and looked straight at Lan Yinheng.
I didn't expect that after all my wanderings in the capital, I would be used by those dog officials to block those poor people who wanted to sue. The annoyance in my heart was no less than that of Lan Yinheng at this time.
Lan Yinheng bit his lip, and replied in a low voice: "Long Live Lord will understand sooner or later..."
Sitting up in the palace, I have no idea how serious the disaster is here, and I can't understand the sadness of the refugees.
Did I do something wrong?Listening to those lawless courtiers, that's why the victims were displaced, and that's why Yi Linshui thinks he is a faint king...
"He will understand, old man, don't worry!" As if he had made some important decision, he held the old farmer's hand, his eyes shining with determination.
This time Yi Linshui didn't interrupt, just stared at his face with a slight smile on his lips.
After bidding farewell to the refugees, the two crossed the river by boat, rented a new horse, and traveled overnight, arriving at an old city early the next morning.
The wet bluestone road stretches all the way to the river outside the city, and the morning glow has just dyed half of the sky red, and the light illuminates the plaque hanging high on the gate of the city wall... "Jiangling Mansion".
"We've arrived at that dog official's site. Be careful and don't cause any trouble." Yi Linshui hugged the man who had been stern all the way from the horse, and told him earnestly.
"I understand." Lan Yinheng replied softly.This time he came out of the palace with his identity hidden. Now he is not an emperor, but a wanderer like Yi Linshui. Only in this way can he see the ugliness of those courtiers more clearly.
Covering his face with a bamboo hat, Lan Yinheng followed closely behind Yi Linshui into the city.
Jiangling Mansion is the largest mansion in the south of the Yangtze River, with beautiful scenery and outstanding people. Not only are there countless wealthy businessmen gathering and exchanging goods, but also many literati travel here, leaving countless famous poems and lines. Even the small restaurants by the river can hear today's talented people. The little tunes and tunes he made, the sound of orchestral strings and bamboos can be heard endlessly.
But the superficial singing and dancing could not completely conceal the truth. When Yi Linshui led Lan Yinheng around the bustling street and walked into the alley, another scene greeted his eyes.
Many ragged people walked slowly forward in a line, their eyes fixed on the line in front of them, as if they were expecting something.
Lan Yinheng followed everyone's line of sight, and saw a few beggars in the same shabby clothes standing at the front of the line. There were many sacks under their feet, and the sacks were filled with white rice.
"What are you doing?" Lan Yinheng blurted out.This sound attracted the attention of the poor people around him.
"Hmph, this is the beggar gang's food distribution! A rich man like you, what do you do in this kind of place?" A young man glanced at Lan Yinheng with an uneasy look, and he took a step back a little.
Seeing these people, Lan Yinheng always felt guilty and couldn't face it.
"Could you be the lackey of those dog officials?" Another middle-aged man came forward with a fierce face, as if Lan Yinheng had killed his whole family.
"You dog officials and rich landlords, you have forced us poor people into such a situation, and you still can't understand the beggar gang's righteous actions, making things difficult for you everywhere! You..."
The cursing of the middle-aged people attracted more poor people to watch. When they heard that the person who came was probably an accomplice of the "dog officer", the poor couldn't hold back their anger anymore, and they couldn't care less about waiting in line for relief. They rolled up their clothes one by one. sleeve, waved his fist, and surrounded Lan Yinheng and Yi Linshui.
Lan Yinheng had never seen such a scene before, so he couldn't help but moved to Yi Linshui's side, and grabbed his arm nervously.
But Yi Linshui didn't care, patted the back of his hand lightly, and said with a slight smile, "Don't be nervous, it's fine."
"What's going on?" The beggar, who was distributing food and relief, saw that the line was chaotic behind him, so he came forward to check. When he pulled away the people around him, squeezed into the encirclement, and saw Yi Linshui, surprise appeared on his face , stepped forward and grabbed Yi Linshui's hand, "Brother Yi!"
"Brother Liu Zhu, how are you in the gang recently?" Yi Linshui smiled slightly, revealing two dimples, and the beggar named Liu Zhu responded immediately.
"It's all good, all is good! It's just that those dog officials bully people too much. They come to provoke trouble again and again, just want to catch us!"
He was about to continue talking, but he caught sight of Lan Yinheng standing behind Yi Linshui, "Who is this?"
"Oh, this is a friend of mine in the capital. I'll take him to Jiangnan for fun." Yi Linshui dragged Lan Yinheng out from behind him and introduced them to each other, "This is Brother Liu Zhu, this is Heng Brother Yi."
"Since you're a friend of Brother Yi, you're a friend of all of us! It's just that this friend, you came here by accident. There will be floods in the south of the Yangtze River this year. I'm afraid it won't be worth seeing." Liu Zhu rubbed the back of his head a little ashamed.
But Yi Linshui smiled at Lan Yinheng, "He just came to see the flood! I said the flood was severe, but he didn't believe it. He has seen it now, right? Those who lined up to receive food were all deeply affected by the flood. Where are the refugees!"
"This flood is rare in a hundred years! How do you people in the capital know?"
"That's right, the capital city is under the feet of the emperor, so we can't see our sufferings. If you let your capital city also experience the feeling of flooding your home, I don't think the emperor's child will be able to sit comfortably on the dragon chair!"
After hearing this, the refugees around seemed to have found a target to vent their grievances. You said something to each other, and every sentence was sarcastic, which made Lan Yinheng a little unable to adapt, and subconsciously wanted to back away.
But the more he wanted to escape, the more Yi Linshui would not let him go, and he announced loudly to the refugees who had already been ignited, "Everyone, my friend knows a big man in the capital. If you have any problems, you should go to him quickly." Said, turn around and ask him to find a big shot for you to complain about!"
"Ah! My son, my sons were all dragged to repair the dam by those corrupt officials and never came back. You have to make the decision for me!"
"My house was washed away by the flood, and my whole family was scattered. I don't know how many are still alive. My son, you must avenge us. The flood is not all caused by those dog officials!"
"Those officials don't care about human life! They even sent troops to suppress us unarmed people, causing death and injury to our village!"
Hearing that Lan Yinheng had the ability to report the matter to the court, the enthusiasm of the poor people rose again, and one after another crowded in front of him, and it didn't take long to surround him.
"Slow down..." There were people all around, and Lan Yinheng was so crowded that he couldn't move, so he could only look for the guy who caused trouble for him in the crowd and ask for help.
But Yi Linshui had already followed Liu Zhu out of the crowd, stood outside the circle, turned to look at him, saw that his eyes were full of sorrow, just smiled lightly, made a grimace, and followed Liu Zhu into the alley .
"Yi Linshui!" Lan Yinheng was trembling with anger, how could he not care about his life?
The poor people around him talked to each other, and the noisy sound gave him a headache, and the sour smell from the poor people almost made him faint.
"Take your time, take your time! I'll write them down one by one." In the end, he could only stretch out his hands, begging for mercy. "I will help everyone, but please speak slowly and in detail...one by one..."
