Chapter 51: Lichang Street, a young man holding a sword!
Chapter 51: A ten-mile-long street with a young man wielding a sword!
More and more people gathered in front of Jingzhao Prefecture.
These days, news about evil officials eating children and injuring pregnant women has been spreading wildly in the undercurrent.
All the civilians who heard it were outraged.
Although not everyone has been oppressed by evil officials, who can guarantee that they will never encounter one in their lifetime?
They originally thought that this incident would be forgotten by everyone as time went by, just like the other cases they had heard of in the past.
Unexpectedly, there are people who actually dare to beat the drum to protest their grievances.
Even the highly respected Ye Songting is willing to come out to support!
It’s so lively, why not watch it?
It is true that Kyoto's night market is very prosperous, but this prosperity has little to do with them.
They also wanted to see whether even the general of the Qin family would have a bad ending after offending the evil official.
Watching more and more people coming to watch.
The yamen runners were extremely anxious and just wanted to drive these people away immediately, but every time they tried to move, they were scolded by Ye Songting. They had no choice but to give up.
a long time.
"teacher!"
A middle-aged man with a big belly came running over, stopped in front of Ye Songting, panting, and said with an apologetic smile: "Teacher! What brings you here?"
The middle-aged man was Zou Yulong, the prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture, a fourth-rank official of the imperial court.
Ye Songting sneered: "I should be the one asking this question. This is just a small case, but it is worthy of Lord Zou to come and try it personally. Just now, I thought I would not see Lord Zou's face today!"
Zou Yulong begged for mercy: "Teacher, please don't torture me! I will always remember your teachings. I also want to try this case, but I have to catch the person in the trial, right? General Qin is being held in the Honglu Temple. This is originally a case of the Honglu Temple. There are many people with higher positions than me there. I want to catch him, but I am powerless!"
Ye Songting stiffened his neck and said, "I don't care! If I can't see anyone, I won't leave!"
Zou Yulong: “…”
Ye Songting glanced back and asked loudly, "Is that so?"
The onlookers responded one after another: "If the old man doesn't leave, then we won't leave either!"
Zou Yulong: “…”
Seeing more and more people coming to watch the fun, cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
The old man is old. What if something bad happens if he waits all night?
If the charge of outlasting the teacher is put on my head, will I still be able to live?
You are already old, why are you still acting like a rogue?
How to do!
what do I do!
in the crowd.
Qin Mingri's heart suddenly skipped a beat, as if he had thought of their countermeasures. He cried out inwardly, "Not good!" and quickly squeezed out of the crowd and got on the carriage: "Let's go! Go back to Zhennan Mansion!"
……
It hasn't rained these days and there's not even a cloud in the sky.
Bai Yuji had never felt the weather was so gloomy.
Qin Muye lives next door.
She hadn't seen him for several days.
Apart from cooking medicine herself and having the maid bring it to him, the two of them had no further contact.
She knew that Qin Muye hated her.
But there were several times when the Great Elder sneaked in and told her that all this was Qin Muye's means of manipulating people's hearts. This man was very cold-blooded, so she pretended to be sad and hid at home, but in fact she was looking for an excuse to escape and let Qin Yanying fend for herself.
Bai Yuji didn't want to believe it.
But she didn't know whether she should believe it.
So these days have been extremely painful. I can only read medical books over and over again and try to put aside all distracting thoughts.
"Squeak!"
"Ok?"
Bai Yuji sat up suddenly. It was the sound of doors and windows opening, right next door.
Someone go find Qin Muye!
It's already night, who could it be?
She took out a jade bottle from her bosom, opened the stopper, and the insects inside flew out of the window to the next room.
Then, she heard a conversation between two people.
"Sir, the case has been filed. The only thing left is General Qin."
"How do I pick up my aunt?"
"Go to the Honglu Temple to snatch someone!"
"There are many experts in Honglu Temple. Who can snatch it?"
"you!"
"I?"
"Yes! There are many masters in the Honglu Temple. Even if a grandmaster takes action, he may not be able to rescue the person. But you are different. You ride on the Lingxi Dragon Horse and just rush around. You have low cultivation and weak body. You may die if you have any accident. Therefore, no one dares to stop you easily. In other words, this is a gamble with your life. Do you... dare to gamble?"
"..."
next door.
Bai Yuji's heart started pounding when she heard this. She never expected that the method that Di Ji thought of was to gamble with her life!
But this is indeed the only way.
The saying that a grandmaster cannot snatch someone away is a bit exaggerated. If he really fights to the death, he will definitely be able to snatch the person away. But this is no different from falling out with his friends. There is no grandmaster who doesn't cherish his feathers.
If you want to snatch someone away, you have to make a group of officials and corrupt officials afraid of you.
Qin Muye has no other trump cards but his own life.
His body was severely overdrawn and he would die if touched, but this became his support.
Don’t think that these evil officials were happy to deal with Qin Yanying. It was entirely because Qin Yanying revealed a huge flaw.
Qin Muye has no flaws at all. If he is really killed in Kyoto, then let's go to war. The Qin family may not rebel directly, but they will definitely send all their troops to fight against the evil official. This is not something that everyone dares to bear easily.
Can……
Can those evil officials who have not yet gotten rid of their bestial nature really control themselves?
This strategy does have some promise.
But the risks are simply too great.
Bai Yuji only felt that her heartbeat was like a drumstick, hitting her eardrum again and again.
The Great Elder said that Qin Muye is extremely selfish. Is this really the case?
Would he...gamble his life?
She was in a state of confusion and felt that time was taking an extremely long time.
Until she heard...
"Gambling with my life? Princess Diji, what do you think is the probability that those evil officials will attack me?"
“Not big, but definitely there!”
"That means I have the advantage. If I don't gamble, won't it seem like I'm a coward?"
"Prince, please leave immediately without delay. General Qin is most likely to be imprisoned in these three places. You must hurry. If you are transferred, it will be troublesome!"
"Okay! Thank you!"
"Squeak!"
The next door opened.
Bai Yuji felt like her heart skipped a beat. She quickly pushed the door open and looked at the thin figure.
"Qin Muye!"
"Ah."
Qin Muye responded calmly and strode towards the backyard.
There is a rockery there, where Qin Yanying raised the Lingxi dragon colt.
Bai Yuji was anxious: "It's too dangerous!"
"Ok!"
Qin Muye's footsteps only paused slightly.
Bai Yuji stepped forward and grabbed his wrist: "I'll go with you, okay?"
Qin Muye was stunned for a moment. Only then did he realize that after not seeing her for a few days, her face had become so haggard.
A pair of eyes were shining with a gleam, full of a sense of brokenness, and there seemed to be a sentence written in the eyes: Don't reject me.
His eyes darkened slightly: "If it weren't for you, my aunt wouldn't have been imprisoned in the Honglu Temple. Why are you doing this today..."
Bai Yuji lowered her head and whispered, "With national hatred in front of me, I had to do that! But my aunt was very good to me, and I felt guilty. I know you may think I am two-timing, but... this trip is too dangerous, let me go with you!"
“You might lose your life!”
"I'm not afraid!"
"You...should stay at home."
"..."
The light in Bai Yuji's eyes seemed to disappear, and she looked at Qin Muye in a daze.
Qin Muye exhaled lightly, but smiled: "This trip is a gamble of life. They rely on me to kill them. If you protect them, they will lose their fear. We will settle our accounts when I come back. Wait for me!"
Bai Yuji suddenly opened her eyes wide and looked at him in disbelief, tears already filling her eyes without her knowing.
Qin Muye smiled and waved at her, then whistled.
next moment.
A loud horse neigh sounded in the backyard.
The Lingxi dragon colt soared into the sky and landed in front of the gate of Zhennan Mansion.
Qin Muye took his sword from the wall and ran quickly towards the gate.
When Lingxi Longju saw him coming, it immediately knelt on the ground and carried him on its back.
He kicked the horse lightly in the belly.
The dragon colt neighed and galloped away.
The journey to Honglu is ten miles at night.
The young man wields a sword, rides a horse and wears fine clothes.
