Chapter 2062
Da Yong was drenched in blood and had blood on the corner of his mouth. It was obvious that he had been severely tortured.
The Mu family had actually found out about Da Yong.
Ning Shu secretly turned over all kinds of thoughts in her mind. She wanted to let Little Grass entangle Mu Ziqi, but in making such an unusual move, she’d put herself in an unfavorable situation.
“Look, is the person you talked about here?” Marshal Mu stroked his beard as he spoke to Da Yong.
Da Yong’s gaze stopped on Ning Shu, “Master.”
“Are you all right?” Ning Shu asked Da Yong.
Da Yong shook his head.
Marshal Mu said, “An entire group went to Fallen Mountain, but only the two of you survived. All of the precious valuables on my granddaughter were stolen. I went to your house to investigate. Your family was originally penniless, but I was actually able to find quite a few gold coins there.”
Ning Shu’s expression changed, “What did you do to my parents?”
“They’ve been taken to the imperial prison.” Marshal Mu said lightly, “If the gifted children of the Mu family dies, someone has to pay the price. Not only have they offended the nobles, but they’ve also assassinated nobles.”
Blue veins popped out on Ning Shu’s forehead. This storyline was really crappy. How come the Yue family still ended up implicated?
Back then when Yue Shuangshuang took a dagger and attacked Lian Bingmeng from behind, Yue Shuangshuang’s family had also suffered consequences.
“Big Sister…” Little Bean ran up to the arena and in front of Ning Shu to shield her from danger. “Don’t even think about hurting my Big Sister.”
Ning Shu tugged Little Bean behind her, and said with a cold expression, “I don’t know what you guys are talking about. When Da Yong and I joined the mercenary team, we had to escort Miss Mu to Fallen Mountain’s Jade Waters Ice Pond to harvest the snow soul lotus.”
“Everyone was killed by the Mu family’s Elder Li as a sacrifice for that. We were treated as bait, so I made a prompt decision. I took Da Yong with me and ran away.”
“Marshal, that’s exactly what this mercenary said,” the imperial guard said to Marshal Mu.
Marshal Mu said lightly, “But you returned to Fallen Mountain.”
“No matter what, you have to pay for my granddaughter’s life.” Marshal Mu said.
“Grandfather, was it really her who killed Big Sister?” Mu Ziqi looked at Ning Shu with red eyes. “Yue Shuangshuang, you really are vicious and merciless! My big sister didn’t wrong you in any way, why would you kill her!?”
“I’ve already said that I didn’t kill her.” Ning Shu raised her chin. “In fact, it was you Mu family people who killed the mercenaries. If it wasn’t for us running away so quickly, we’d already be poisoned to death by the big snake as a sacrifice for the Mu family.”
“I don’t have the capability to kill the miss of the Mu family at all. My family’s gold coins are something I’ve earned by killing monsters.” Ning Shu shouted loudly, “Without reliable evidence, how could you arrest my parents and put them in prison?”
“They were obviously arrested after a clear investigation. If you want evidence, it’ll naturally be given to you. Arrest her…” As soon as Marshal Mu waved his hand, the Griffin Army rushed towards Ning Shu.
Little Grass stretched out countless vines, entangling the Griffin Army.
Little Bean extended his fist and smashed it at an imperial guard, directly sending the guard flying.
The entire arena was covered with vines, so the imperial guards could not get near Ning Shu.
Ning Shu stood in mid-air and looked face-to-face at Marshal Mu. She coldly said, “What is the evidence that Marshal Mu talked about? If you can’t come up with the evidence, there is no way I will allow myself to be arrested willingly.”
“What you should be doing right now is proving that you are not the murderer, not asking this marshal for evidence.” Marshal Mu stood on the back of the giant bird with his hands clasped behind his back.
Ning Shu: …The f*ck.
Prove her innocence. What difference was this from asking her to prove that she was Yue Shuangshuang and her name was Yue Shuangshuang?
If she was charged guilty of murder, she had to prove she was not guilty?
Shouldn’t they be trying to prove she was guilty instead?
