Return to the rumor

Yiyang guarding the mausoleum in Maozhou is not deaf to what is going on outside the window.

Tangci, whose riding and archery skills are comparable to hers, is actually her cousin. After learning about this, Yiyang was a little bit perplexed for a while.

She was born in Qizhou Palace and grew up in Qizhou without leaving home. Although the title was bestowed by the late emperor's uncle, she never had the chance to meet him, even Empress Yici had never met.

She is the only daughter under Emperor Chunyou's knees. Although she is loved by thousands of people, she feels lonely because she has few playmates.

An Ning lived in a deep palace, and Yiyang knew nothing about this cousin. When she was young, she wanted to go to play with An Ning, but she was snatched away by the mother every time. She was afraid that she would get in touch with An Ning deeply. It will be blocked when it is poisoned.

Suddenly, another cousin appeared, who was quite in line with her eyes and heart. She was familiar with the emperor's temperament, and knew that the emperor would not forgive Tang easily. I don't want to get into this muddy water.

Tattoo punishment, shin stick, but did not abolish her official position and did not disclose her identity to the world, so she still wore men's clothing to join the army in the bitter cold of Liangzhou.

Yiyang, who had never suffered a little bit since childhood, racked his brains and couldn't imagine how a delicate and delicate woman could survive these pains.

Tang Ci disguised herself as a man, and Lu He also disguised as a man. Both of them came here for revenge.

Yiyang was worried about Tang Ci, and when he was resting on the bed, he naturally thought of Lu He.

Chi Liangjun obeyed her instructions, and from time to time there would be letters confidently coming, telling Lu He's current situation in detail.

The fact that Han Hu and Xie Bin molested and tortured the son of a Huzhou rice merchant was widely known in the streets and alleys because a rice merchant in Huzhou responded to the strike.

Chi Liangjun said in the letter that Lu He was the one who made suggestions, and his words couldn't hide the meaning of sighing.

Yiyang felt a little uneasy in her heart. She understood that Lu He's move was intended to show her loyalty to Hu Laiyan. Was she taking the risk or was she confident?

That night, Yiyang had a nightmare. In the dream, she and Lu He had flowers and candles in their bridal chamber. During the Gao Tang Dynasty, King Lu led someone to break in. No matter how difficult it was to keep Lu He's secret, the emperor drew his sword and beheaded her in a rage. in front of the temple.

After waking up from the dream, he received a letter from Chi Liangjun much later than before. Before he finished reading the letter, Yiyang stood tall and rushed out.

The guard commander in charge of guarding Yiyang hurriedly stopped her when he saw this, and cupped his hands to her with a stern face: "Your Highness is wearing the body of a sin, and you are not allowed to step out of this place without the Holy Majesty's will."

Glancing at the armored soldiers surrounding him, Yi Yang sneered and said, "What if I insist on leaving?"

The commander was slightly stunned, and the corners of his mouth were tense, and he said forcefully: "I have a low official position, but I dare not disobey the imperial decree. If Your Highness wants to try the law by oneself, the only thing I can do is to offend."

As soon as the words fell, a soldier with excellent eyesight fetched the rope, Yi Yang chuckled, stretched out his two bright wrists to the commander, and said provocatively: "Try to tie one? A general has never had such awe and prestige as you, who dare to use the words of the emperor to suppress me in front of me."

The commander's face turned pale, his waist was almost bent to the ground, and he bowed humbly again: "Your Highness, I dare not, it's just..."

Unexpectedly, Yiyang reached out and grabbed his wrist, and in shock, he turned around and grabbed Yiyang's right arm with his right hand. Only then did his subordinates want to use strength and thought about Yiyang's identity, and in a moment of hesitation, he was caught by another After attacking the bottom line, he hastily stepped back a few steps, but unexpectedly this move was a false move——

Holding the commander's neck with his arms, he pulled out the sword of the dumbfounded soldier beside him, withdrew his hand to the sword, and shouted: "Get out of the way!"

The stalemate went all the way to the foot of the mountain——Yiyang and the commander stood at the foot of the mountain, and a group of soldiers kept hundreds of steps away from her and did not dare to come forward.

Tremblingly, the soldiers brought in a strong horse. Water bags and dry food were also prepared according to her instructions, and they were packed in girdles.

Although the commander was held hostage, he refused to be idle and kept complaining to her: "His Royal Highness, what are you going to do in such a hurry? If you don't write a handwritten letter and submit it to your majesty, the minister's life will be hard to save if you make such a mess." Don’t tell me, you can’t get rid of the guilt, can you?”

Yiyang took the rope and tied the commander tightly. He fell to the ground like a pork belly dumpling, got on his horse, whipped his whip and galloped away. Before leaving, he said to the commander: "I can bear the responsibility for the crime. You write it down as it is, and it will not implicate you and your family."

Write a handwritten letter and present it to the emperor, maybe Lu He's little life will be lost to Hu Laiyan before it reaches the imperial case!

In the past, Yiyang would not think about other people's life and death, let alone say this to the commander. Lu He changed her so much unknowingly and subtly.

Once the case of the son of a rice merchant in Huzhou was settled, Lu He gained the trust of King Lu's lineage as expected. The right servant of the Ministry of punishment has been newly appointed.

Saying farewell to the two at the Ten Mile Chang Pavilion, when Lu He returned to the government office, he went through the files from more than ten years ago as before, but still found nothing.

The next day, Zuo Shilang of the Criminal Ministry died tragically at home for no reason.

When Lu He was interrogating his wife, concubine and children, he accidentally discovered a secret letter between Zuo Shilang and Hu Laiyan, written in the second year of Chunyou. Not destroyed today.

The physical evidence was available but not credible, so Lu He hid the secret letter and secretly searched for the people involved in the case.

In the end, the capital was mixed with fish and dragons, and the enemy was indistinguishable, so we had some clues. I don't know who made the report. When the Dongchuang incident was discovered, Hu Laiyan threw her into the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs, intending to torture her to death.

torture chamber.

On the first day, Hu Laiyan beat Lu He.

The ten fingers were bloody and bloody, and the open flesh was stuck to the bone, and it was still falling off, and the slightest touch was painful.

On the second day, Hu Laiyan interrogated him again.

The jailer opened the cell door, and a bloody smell filled the impregnable cell.

Hu Laiyan walked in, covering his nose. Lu He lay on the stone bed with his eyes closed. When he heard the movement, he turned his face slightly to look at him, with a contemptuous smile on his face: "I have burned the secret letter. How many times do you want to tell Hu Da?" Are people willing to believe it?"

"Tsk tsk tsk -" Hu Laiyan shook his head again and again, feeling very sorry, "Lord Lu - oh no, Miss Wen. Miss Wen's body is soft, but her bones are very hard. Didn't you see Tang Ci who just lay down here? It's better to be more sensible, and confess as soon as possible, so as not to suffer."

"What does Mr. Hu want me to explain? I have read almost all the files of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. How many bribes you have accepted, how many favors you have sold, and how many right and wrong you have turned upside down, all of them are recorded in your mind." Lu He wanted to raise his finger and point to his head. Unexpectedly, it was just an idea, but before it was put into practice, the pain caused layers of sweat to break out from her back.

Although Hu Laiyan is not a person who can know the world's affairs in a single leaf, he can catch the pain on the prisoner's face in time. He chuckled and put his boot on Lu He's vulnerable hand. Lu He pressed his lower lip tightly.

"What's the use of keeping it in your head? I thought that you, a weak woman, could get to this point, and you were somewhat capable compared with your desperate old father, but I didn't realize that it was still wishful thinking with a passion. "

Stamped secretly under his feet, moving slightly from side to side like crushing an ant to death.

Unable to hold on to anything, Lu He could only grit his teeth and shattered the groan into his stomach. Big beads of sweat slid off his forehead, and his thin and bloodless lips were bitten raw. There are a few bloodstains, and a few brushstrokes of cinnabar on a face that is as beautiful as a lotus flower and as tough and refined as a plum blossom, makes people feel pity.

"Whether it's wishful thinking or planning a strategy with a plan, Mr. Hu will see the difference in the future."

Lu He stared at Hu Laiyan with a pair of clear and fearless eyes, which inexplicably made him feel guilty. After a while, he smiled again: "Miss Wen knows how to bluff people when she is about to die. After all, I underestimate you. Sheng Yulan, your old father Youzhi Izumi should cook a feast for you!"

She did keep a good idea, she stayed in Xindu for nearly a year, she is considered to be a good friend and has a few friends who are willing to work for her.What's more, it is not difficult to make up a few catchy ballads and spread them around, and then hand over the evidence of Hu Laiyan's crime to the Eastern Palace gangsters to kill people with a knife.Hu Laiyan didn't dare to kill her, at least not right now. She is now a third-rank member of the imperial court anyway, and there must be a reason for her death due to a crime. Hu Laiyan can be dragged into the quagmire with his words.

Lu He just smiled and said nothing, the smile entered Hu Laiyan's eyes, and a few flames sprang up in his heart, he suddenly thought of something, and the thief smiled: "Speaking of it, Miss Wen and His Highness Yiyang have a very close relationship His Highness is far away in Maozhou, but he is unwilling to be idle in the Princess Mansion. Chi Liangjun pestered me for a whole day yesterday and insisted on letting me go. Could it be that His Highness knew your identity a long time ago but deliberately concealed it for you? Why did she do this, could it be that she followed in the footsteps of Princess Wise?"

Lu He's heart skipped a beat, he had already guessed Hu Laiyan's thoughts, and said with a smile: "Your Highness and my teacher-student friendship, love and righteousness, will never leave you to death, what does this have to do with Princess Huaisi?"

Hu Laiyan laughed loudly: "There is love and righteousness, but if you continue to fight with death, you may not survive tomorrow until His Highness saves you."

"Master Hu has any tricks to use, I won't disappoint you."

Hu Laiyan sighed a few times, raised his foot and stomped on the back of Lu He's right hand, gritted his teeth and yelled angrily from his mouth: "If you don't eat a toast, you'll be fined! Don't blame me for being cruel - I'll give you a torture!" Over and over again, you should also know what to say and what not to say!"

Tears welled up from the corners of Lu He's eyes in pain, struggling desperately but in vain.

He also heard Hu Laiyan proudly threatening: "Don't forget, you are dead, and you think I will easily let your family members who are far away in Qianzhou do hard labor?!"

While he was showing off his power with a ferocious face, there was a sudden commotion behind him——
