thief, don't run

The mansion of Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment is still easy to find. An Lingxue and Zhongliyun packed up the next morning and asked the way casually. In the government office.

The two looked at each other, then turned back into the imperial city, walked along Chengtianmen Street for a long time, and finally arrived at Shangshusheng. They asked someone to ask questions and show their identities, and only then did they enter the gate of the Ministry of Punishment.

"I'm quite nervous. You said that I'm a thief, but I came to the Ministry of Criminal Justice openly. It's terrible." Zhong Liyun said, and even brushed his hair, I don't know whether it's for pride or to show off.

"You didn't commit murder to make disaster, or bully the king and treason the country, as long as you are honest, who knows who you are." An Lingxue led her inside, through the front hall, to the back hall. The guard said that Lord Shangshu was waiting for them there.

An Lingxue wasn't half happy about seeing her close relatives, she just felt irritated, since she sent a letter asking them to meet, why didn't she clearly explain the time and place, and let them scurry around like flies.

Having said that, she still didn't want Zhong Liyun's impression of him to worsen.After deliberating, he said: "Zhongliyun, my father... don't pay too much attention to his behavior, see you later, let me explain."

Zhong Liyun smiled slightly. It seemed that Ah Xue didn't want to see her father, but in fact, she still regarded her as a family member. Rather, because her family members were not around often, she actually longed for the feeling of being cared and cared for by her family members.

"I'm fine, you should be careful when you speak, don't be too aggressive."

"Understood, it's long-winded." An Lingxue muttered, "Now start to take care of me, really..."

"what?"

"No, let's go!"

Laughing and laughing, they came to the front of the hall, and before the threshold was reached, they saw a person sitting at the main seat, holding a volume of books in his hand, looking down to read.

This is the first time Zhong Liyun has seen An Lingchen. He thought that according to An Lingxue's description, he should be a dignified and dignified father who was also in charge of the punishment laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty.But it is not.

He is the father of An Lingxue and An Lingfeng, so naturally his appearance is similar to his two, but his brother and sister are not majestic, and Master Shang Shu also showed gentleness in his eyebrows and eyes.

An Lingxue didn't think as much as she thought. Her father hadn't changed much when he met her a few years ago. He still shaved his beard meticulously and wanted to look younger, but the white hair on his temples forced him to obey. old.

Hearing their footsteps, An Lingchen raised his head, frowned deeply, and waved to both sides.

Before the two could understand, a group of guards suddenly poured out from both sides of the corridor and surrounded them.

An Lingxue took a step forward, protecting Zhong Liyun behind him, and said loudly: "Master Shangshu is so arrogant, why, my own daughter came to see you, and you still have to enter your prison to go through the trial?"

The guards looked at each other after hearing her reveal their identity, not knowing what to do.

Zhong Liyun tugged at her sleeve behind her back, and said in a low voice, "Didn't I tell you not to be too aggressive, it's not good for anyone if the relationship froze."

"Shut up." An Lingxue replied, looking fixedly at the people in the hall.

Purple senior official robe, jade belt hook belt.With his sleeves rolled up behind him, he walked slowly out of the hall.

"You still recognize me as a father."

An Lingchen's words showed the relationship between the two sides, but he didn't let the surrounding guards retreat.An Lingxue clenched her sleeves tightly to protect Zhong Liyun even more tightly, and at the same time pulled her by the wrist, if they really couldn't agree on an agreement, she would just run away with Qinggong, forgiving that these wine bags and rice bags couldn't catch up.

An Lingchen looked at his daughter protecting outsiders, and felt annoyed, "I asked you to bring her to Beijing to convict her to make up for your mistakes. What are you doing now?"

This point, both Zhong Liyun and An Lingxue knew that the punishment for the mausoleum guard's trespassing into the imperial mausoleum was not small, and they could only be exonerated with merit.

However, it is just words.

Sensing the movement behind her, An Lingxue squeezed her wrist even tighter, and snorted at An Lingchen, "You must have known about the Changle Capital we arrived at yesterday, so naturally, you should know too. , where did we go yesterday?"

Yun Yi and the princess are forces that they can borrow, whether it's a fox pretending to be a tiger, in short, as long as they can deter him.

As An Lingxue spoke, she pointed to the soldiers on both sides. She didn't directly mention the name of the princess, but she wanted to make it easier for him, so as not to make him look bad.

Zhong Liyun chuckled from behind.It turned out that Ah Xue had already thought of a countermeasure. She expected that seeing An Lingchen today would not go well, but she didn't want her to protect her like this, and suddenly felt that her hard work had finally paid off.

An Lingchen waved away the people on both sides, turned around and said, "Come in."

Look, we won.An Lingxue smiled at her, very proud.In fact, her father was also a bully.

"Excellent." Zhong Liyun praised her softly, smiled back at her, and suddenly felt that some things no longer mattered.

After entering the middle hall, An Lingxue remembered Zhong Liyun's instructions, being careful in everything, trying not to disobey her father's wishes, standing respectfully at the bottom of the hall, paying respects.Together with her, Zhong Liyun bowed the big gift.

An Lingchen glanced at her, "This gift is unbearable."

Zhong Liyun was embarrassed, An Lingxue was angry.Enduring it, he still said: "Father, Ming people don't talk dark words. I came to ask you this time, as if I wanted to know if there is any way to exempt Zhong Liyun from prison."

"You want to exonerate her?"

"Yes." An Lingxue answered frankly, as long as it is within the criminal law, it is not considered favoritism, let alone breaking the law.What Zhongliyun did was a good thing, and those who suffered were those who were rich and unkind. She thought more selfishly that even if Zhongliyun was not punished, she deserved it.

"I'm really dizzy." An Lingchen snorted coldly, as if he was watching a joke. "Since you are on good terms with Her Royal Highness, why don't you ask them to help you?"

Your Royal Highness, it is indeed a good choice.But Zhong Liyun didn't want to ask others. The princess and Yun Yi, at least on the surface, were relatives who were idle at home, so there was no need to involve them in the affairs of the Ministry of Justice.

An Lingxue thought the same way.

Just as he was thinking about how to speak, An Lingchen first said: "Didn't you make a petition for the Wanmin Letter? If you have that thing, hand it over to the court of the Ministry of Punishment, and there will be a fair trial. Don't think about the rest. "He said and pinched the center of his eyebrows, looking very tired.

"Okay." As long as she can be open and fair, then she is not afraid. She is only afraid that some powerful people are obstructing it.

After all, An Lingxue was about to take Zhong Liyun away, but she saw her eyes were dull, as if her soul had come out of her body.

An Lingchen happened to look over, and said: "Go back with her first, I will go home with you after I have dealt with the affairs of the Yamen."

go home?An Lingxue looked at him puzzled, she hadn't been home for so many years, why suddenly...

I saw An Lingchen took out an envelope, "Chu Yan came to see me yesterday, your Aunt Xia, let me go back." After finishing speaking, An Lingchen frowned, as if there was a big disaster to do.

An Lingxue didn't bother to look at it, this person valued his official position more than anything else, and now he must feel that going home is too much trouble and it's just a headache.

In contrast, Zhong Liyun's state worried her even more, why did she lose her soul after a while?

On the way back, An Lingxue called her several times, and this person finally responded.

"What's wrong with you?" An Lingxue reached out and touched her forehead, maybe she caught a cold from the wind?

Zhong Liyun tilted his head, avoided her hand, coughed, and said, "It's okay."

"How could it be okay?" An Lingxue withdrew her hand, sweating profusely, this person sweated so much, and still said it was okay?

An Lingxue didn't talk nonsense about her anymore, she dragged the passers-by to question her, and then wanted to take her to the clinic.

Zhong Liyun held her back at any rate, and said with a smile: "It's okay, didn't you say you want to take a good look at Changle Jing, after your father finishes his work, we will go back to Shangluo County, it just so happens that there is nothing to do today, I will accompany you for a stroll OK?"

"Okay..." An Lingxue hesitated, "But your body..."

Zhong Liyun smiled, "You forgot again, I am the apprentice of a genius doctor, so my body is naturally fine."

"Hmm..." After they left the imperial city, they arrived at Zhuque Avenue. The street was very lively with people coming and going.An Lingxue's heart was itching for a long time, and she touched her forehead again to confirm that there was nothing wrong, "Okay then, let's go to Dongshi to have a look."

There is a night ban in Changle Beijing, and the East Market is only open until seven quarters before sunset, then the gates of the squares will be closed, and everyone will go back to their homes. The market will not open until noon of the next day when the Municipal Department beats [-] drums.It's noon now, so I just went shopping for a good time.

From Zhuquemen, the main south gate of the imperial city, along the east-west street, three lanes to the east is the East Market, and three lanes to the west is the West Market.The inn they stayed in was Chongrenfang in the northwest corner of Dongshi. In order to go back at night, An Lingxue took Zhong Liyun to Dongshi.

Before going to Dongshi, you have to pass by Pingkangfang, which is just opposite Chongrenfang.The day before, it was here that I entered Qunfang Garden and met Yun Yi.An Lingxue pulled her past in a hurry, so she didn't want to get involved with this place.

Even Her Royal Highness Yun Yi would come to this kind of place. Although she is generally fine, she often walks by the river, so there is no way her shoes will not get wet.It is better to stay far away from the Qinlou Chu Pavilion.

To buy things is to go to the Second City of East and West. From this, it can be seen that there is naturally everything you want in the two cities, and it is very lively.But the goods are all about the price... An Lingxue touched her pocket, so she could only take Zhong Liyun to a small restaurant, and ordered three dishes of side dishes, accompanied by a plate of fruit, which at least filled her stomach.

In the afternoon, An Lingxue seemed to be looking at the flowers on a horse, but she couldn't finish one tenth of the shopping, but the money bag was nine tenths empty.Holding the last few copper coins, I stopped at a small shop facing the street, ordered two more bowls of wontons in lard soup, and finished my dinner in a daze.

As the market closes, there is no one else on the street, except for the occasional figure, who is still in a hurry, rushing home for dinner.

Surprisingly comfortable and quiet.

"Are you happy today?" An Lingxue ate heartily, and walking around exhausted her energy. After a while, the soup bowl was empty, and she propped her head to watch Zhong Liyun sip.

"Are you happy?" Zhong Liyun pressed the spoon and asked back.

"I'm very happy." An Lingxue looked at her with a smile.

"Then I am also very happy." Zhong Liyun pushed the bowl in front of her, "Eat, I know you are not full yet."

"how about you?"

"as long as you are happy."

"Well, what a silly conversation." An Lingxue smiled and took the spoon, not paying much attention.

An Lingxue lowered her head to drink the soup, but she didn't notice that Zhong Liyun rolled her eyes, and when she was done eating and gave the money, she led her back to the inn.

Zhong Liyun let her lead him, half a step behind, and walked slowly.

After leaving the East Market, soon, the night fell, and the lights came on, one after another night lights were lit up, connecting into one piece, as far as the eye could see, the stars were dotted, and soon spread, it was very beautiful.

Like her current feelings.

Accumulate little by little, and by the time it is discovered, it has long been irresistible.

"Zhongliyun!"

Suddenly, An Lingxue stopped, took her hand, and shouted to Wanjia lights.

"what happened?"

Before Zhong Liyun stepped forward, An Lingxue turned around and threw herself into her arms, hugging her tightly.

"Haha, Zhongliyun!"

Zhong Liyun supported her waist, a little at a loss, "What's the matter?"

"you are stupid!"

"I……"

Before Zhong Liyun could explain, An Lingxue pulled out from her embrace, and rubbed her twisted face until all the wrinkles between her brows were smoothed out, and she was only satisfied.

Then he took her hand, "Let's run, it's already under night ban, and it's time for Marquis Wu to arrest people later."

After finishing speaking, he pulled her and ran away, just a gust of night wind, whistling in the ear, very happy.

She has already made up her mind, the princess is right, if she likes it, then go ahead boldly.Moreover, if Zhongliyun can get a fair trial, there will be no heavy punishment, even if she is imprisoned for a few years, she doesn't care, she just waits.The days to come will be long, long enough for them to stay together.As for Zhong Liyun's master, no matter what, she has to accompany her to bear the burden.

Well, it's settled!

"See you tomorrow." An Lingxue said good night for the last time before she closed the door.

"Well, good dream tonight."

Good dreams, good dreams, she must be able to have good dreams.

But when Meng woke up, Zhong Liyun was gone.

The author has something to say: I said yesterday that I was going to write about teachers and students, and then I sorted it out and perfected an earlier idea. I think it is not bad. I have already thought of the name. My new teacher is my ex-girlfriend ? !

As a result, I checked and found that now, teachers and students are not allowed to write!

Well, teachers and students were cut in half.no more.

The point is that this is the only idea I came up with!So it's over, I can only write about Gubai honestly.
