Chapter 13 — Past Fairness Restored

"Let's go Duong Am, at least let them know who they are looking for." My heart is tense, but I do not retreat. Before, we were always pushed away by others. Pushed by the Marquis to the lake. Pushed back to hometown by rumors. Pushed back into the night by a torn cart. This time I want to go home by myself. His Majesty looked at us for a long time, then finally nodded. “I send the Huyen Giap Guard to accompany you.” The person looked at the Crown Prince again. The Crown Prince was pressed to the ground by the army, his face turned gray and white. “From today, blockade the Eastern Palace.” “If you don't have a mat, you can't go in or out.” The prince suddenly raised his head. “Father!” His Majesty coldly said: "You should be lucky that A Hanh is still alive." "Otherwise, the place where you kneel now will not be Can Chinh Hall." The prince could no longer speak. Tham Bao Chau was so scared that she trembled. Lieu Thi hugged her and cried. Tham Hoai Chuong lay prostrate on the ground, as if he had aged ten years overnight. But I don't look at them anymore. When I left the palace, it was already dark. Outside the palace gate, prepare fast horses and carriages. Initially, Ta Tam Lang intended to ride a horse, so I took a look at him. He immediately changed his words. “I sit in the car.” “Horse riding is so eye-catching.” "Besides, my memory has just returned a bit. If the horse doesn't recognize me and throws me down, I'll be very embarrassed." The corner of the Huyen Giap Guard leader's lips twitched. I know he is afraid that if I sit in the car alone, he will worry. The carriage rushed out of the citadel. Outside the curtains, the wind whistled. Ta Tam Lang sat next to me, still holding the rolling pin in his hand. I asked in a low voice: "Aren't you afraid?" He thought for a moment. "Scared." "I'm afraid Aunt Dao will scold me." “If you knew I led you to the palace and then took you back to a dangerous place, you would definitely chase me with a broom.” The edges of my eyes heat up. “You still have the mind to joke.” Ta Tam Lang looked at me. “If I don't joke, she will keep thinking bad things.” “Duong Am, things are not the worst yet.” “As long as we run fast enough, bad things won't catch up.” He paused for a moment then added. “Of course, the horse also has to run fast enough.” When the carriage arrived outside the village, there was a fire in the distance. My heart immediately sank. Next to the willow tree at the top of the village, several men in black clothes are oppressing the village chief and the chief. Aunt Dao stood in front, holding a vegetable chopping knife in her hand. Her hair was loose, but there was no retreat on her face. The leading guard of the East Palace was indeed missing a piece of his left little finger. He smiled coldly and said: "If Shen Duong Am doesn't come back, all of you don't want to live." Aunt Dao spat loudly. “You beasts wearing human skin.” “Want to force Duong Am with us?” “Dreaming.” Just as I was about to get out of the car, Ta Tam Lang pressed me back. “Wait.” He lifted the curtain, stuck his head out, and called out in a loud voice: "You're missing your little finger over there." “I advise you to release him immediately.” “I'm not in a good mood today.” “The rolling pin in my hand is not fun either.” The guard suddenly turned his head. When he saw Ta Tam Lang's face clearly, his pupils shrank. “King Chieu?” The villagers were in an uproar. The vegetable knife in Aunt Dao's hand almost fell. “What king?” Ta Tam Lang jumped out of the car, smiled and waved at her. “Aunt Dao, first don't scold.” "Once you're back, kneel in the yard and listen slowly." The guard gritted his teeth and suddenly placed his knife on Aunt Dao's neck. “Don't come over here.” “Go one step further, I'll kill her.” I lifted the curtain and got out of the car. The wind blew my sleeves. I looked at that blade, my voice was so steady that even I was surprised. “You want to use her in exchange for me?” Guard name
stare at me. “Miss Shen, follow me.” “Otherwise, everyone here will die because of you.” In the past, this sentence would have crushed me. But right now, I just find it ridiculous. Ta Tam Lang said softly next to him: "Don't believe him." “The bad guy likes to say his da.a.o is someone else's fault.” We take one step forward. “You want to arrest me because the Crown Prince's matter has been exposed.” “You want to kill the people in the village because you are afraid they will live to testify.” “This is not because of me.” “But because you did evil.” Aunt Dao's eyes turned red and scolded: "Duong Am, don't come here!" The guard used force and the blade forced out a trail of blood. We stop. At this moment, Ta Tam Lang suddenly threw the rolling pin to the ground. "Okay." "You want a hostage, I'll exchange it." All were stunned. He spread his arms and slowly walked forward. “I am worth more than Duong Am.” “The Emperor's younger brother.” “Just received it back.” “Arresting me is more profitable than capturing you.” The guard's eyes flashed with greed. Ta Tam Lang continued to laugh. “But I have a bad habit.” “I talk a lot.” “If you catch me, I might make a lot of noise on the street.” Before he finished speaking, his leg suddenly kicked. The rolling pin slid close to the mud and flew out, hitting the guard's wrist. Aunt Dao took the opportunity to bow her head and hit him hard, and the vegetable chopping knife hit him on the knee. Huyen Giap Guard rushed out from both sides at the same time. The blade flashed. There was a loud cry in the crowd. Before I could see clearly, Ta Tam Lang rushed forward and pulled Aunt Dao behind him. The guard was pressed into the mud, but suddenly laughed loudly. "It's late." “You can save this place, but you cannot save the Marquis Palace.” “There is still an envelope in Tham Bao Chau's hand.” “As soon as that envelope is opened, everyone must die.” 14
