Sir, the prisoner is gone again

After three or two days of nourishment in the city, Qin Ke'er recovered from the cold and her health improved greatly, so Yu Qiuhan retreated to the guest room, and the two went to the Lan Mansion in Beicheng District.

"Ms. Lan's birthday in April, your master will come when the time comes, why do you want us to visit first?" Qin Ke'er asked while walking, "Besides, there are so many pigeons raised on the mountain, the footsteps should be Much faster than us."

"Master traveled all over the rivers and lakes in his early years and made many friends, but it is the wife of the Lan family who has the deepest friendship."

"Deeper than you and me?"

Yu Qiuhan turned her head to look at her, Qin Ke'er giggled twice and didn't say much.

"In the past, the master really relied on flying pigeons to send letters, but the pigeons from the past few months have not returned yet."

"Lost?" Qin Ke'er asked.

Yu Qiuhan shook his head, how could the pigeons raised on the mountain get lost, the master felt uneasy, so he asked them to come and see them in person, and take advantage of their birthdays to visit old people they haven't seen for many years.

The capital is in a beautiful spring, with wind and emerald curtains, and willows and flowers blooming.They strolled leisurely, stepped across the small stream bridge, and finally saw the compound with the Lanfu plaque hanging from a distance.

However, the plaque was cracked and crooked, and the compound was messy and deserted.

Yu Qiuhan's heart tightened, and Qin Ke'er hurried in, searched inside and out but found no one.The smashed-up courtyard has been in ruins for at least two months, not to mention the dust, and cobwebs have formed in many places.

"How could this be? Did we come to the wrong place?" Qin Ke'er asked.

Yu Qiuhan stood in the courtyard, looked around, "Lan Mansion in Beicheng, this is the only one."

"That is, what happened..."

They haven't heard of anything going on in the city these days, maybe they didn't pay attention.Qin Ke'er frowned and looked at the mess on the ground, "Such a scene, could it be that the house was ransacked?" Then the next step is to beheaded?

"I'll write a letter to Master as soon as possible."

Three days later, Si Kongling was already on his way to Beijing, ahead of him was the carriage of the magistrate of Yamen County, Yu Ran didn't sit in the carriage, but rode the horse to protect him.

Si Kongling was bored all the way, so he stared at Yu Ran intently, enough to pass the time.

"Xiao Ran, who is following behind?" The county master finally thought of asking when he was free.

Yu Ran glanced back at Sikong Ling who was bickering with Xiao Luobo, and said lightly: "It's a friend of Xiao Ran's, who happened to be going to the capital too, so they left together."

"Since we are friends, we left together again, why didn't I see you to say hello and talk?"

"Xiao Ran has to protect the safety of her adoptive father and adoptive mother."

The county magistrate smiled and waved his hands, "It's not too far away, besides, the sky is bright and the sun is bright, the road is wide and nothing will happen."

Yu Ran couldn't help hesitating, and took another look at Si Kongling, who was being caught by the other party, she hurriedly turned her head, "But..."

"Go, go," the county magistrate said, "Always stay with me and your adoptive mother, you are bored, young people have something to say together, go."

Yu Ran nodded in salute, pulled the horse rope and slowed down, the carriage was ahead, and Si Kongling behind quickly caught up.

"What's wrong?" Sikong Ling wondered.

"It's nothing." Yu Ran shook her head, her legs lightly pinched the horse's belly, and the speed gradually caught up, "You follow like this, it is inevitable that the foster father will ask questions."

"Are you asking about me?" Si Kongling asked with a smile, "How did you say that?"

Yu Ran stared ahead, "What else can I say, if you say you are a friend, he asked me to come and talk to you, so as not to lose the way to treat friends."

"Haha..." Sikong Ling laughed loudly, "I can't see that your adoptive father is not completely unreasonable, after all, he has done a good deed."

Yu Ran thought about it, so she kept silent. Si Kongling knew that she was filial and righteous, so she stopped joking about it.

"Tell me about your righteous brother, who promised it?"

"Yixiong Yushen, a high school martial arts tester more than five years ago, now works as a servant of the imperial court's military department."

Si Kongling raised his eyebrows earnestly, "Not bad, not bad, I didn't expect such a talented person to be produced in a small county like Lingchuan."

"Since he came to Beijing, my adoptive father and mother and I haven't seen him for five or six years. Speaking of which, if there is no great joy this time, I don't know how long we will have to wait."

Si Kongling seriously criticized again, "I'm afraid the capital is prosperous, I'm afraid I've lost my mind a long time ago. If so, it should be considered unfilial."

Yu Ran shook her head, "He also wanted to come back, but his adoptive father strictly ordered him not to come back in the letter."

"If you miss your old parents, why should you care about the words in the letter? When he comes back, he will reply, at most a few words of blame, isn't it more joyful?" Si Kongling said in a serious manner, "Furthermore, it's not like letting him go back to Lingchuan Not going away, just visit him occasionally but never once, how big a difference is it that he is so busy that he can't get out at all?"

Yu Ran smiled, "Speaking of others, everyone is filled with righteous indignation, what about you?"

"Me?" Si Kongling was taken aback for a moment, and then he was discouraged, "I was playing for fun, and my master and senior sister would take care of me when I go back... Besides, didn't I go back in the end?"

Yu Ran sighed, "My righteous brother said filial piety, which is not what you understand. The affairs of the court are not the errands of the yamen. He has been in the position of servant since high school, and I am afraid that you and I can't estimate what he has done in it. Five years Neither long nor short, barely stable, now that I have married a daughter-in-law, it should get better."

Si Kongling thought that maybe she really couldn't see through the whole matter of the farewell family, so she didn't talk too much about it.

"I heard that she is married to a well-matched official lady, virtuous, gentle, and delicate."

"Then I'd like to take a look." Si Kongling said as he sneaked a glance at Yu Ran, "Don't think too much about it, I'll just take a look."

If it weren't for the leisurely carriage of the county master, it would have taken Si Kongling less than half a month to travel from Lingchuan to the capital, but now nearly twenty days have passed unknowingly.

Yu Ran and his party went to the Minister's Mansion, while Si Kongling tried to find a way to meet Xianyu Qiuhan.

The boat and the car were tiring, and it was not a moment to find someone, so Si Kongling and Xiao Luobo first found a restaurant to fill their stomachs.

"Have you heard that the deposed prince committed suicide in prison yesterday."

"Suicide? Wouldn't that mean committing suicide in fear of crime?"

"Is there any death penalty that fears the crime but does not fear the crime, the evidence is conclusive, and the ironclad death sentence."

"It's true, if it's something else, after all, the emperor's son can be exempted, but this conspiracy..."

"Be quiet!"

"This matter also involved a lot of court officials, and the people in the three provinces and six ministries will inevitably have to change their blood."

Xiao Er brought the food and put it on the table, Si Kongling picked up the chopsticks and touched his ears habitually.

They came at the right time, just in time for the abolished prince to commit suicide and the court officials to exchange blood.Thinking about it, even though it looks like the capital is still quiet now, secretly, the wind and cloud have long been stirring up, and the smog is foggy.

But these right and wrong have nothing to do with them. After the matter that the master explained, they will leave the capital, no matter how big the wind and rain are, they will not get wet.

Si Kongling lowered her head to eat, and heard the footsteps of a guest entering the door. She didn't pay attention to it, but the more she heard it, the more familiar it became.

Immediately turning around, the rice grains at the corners of his mouth were not ready to be licked off, his eyes lit up, "Senior Sister!"

Yu Qiuhan heard the sound, and before she could speak, Qin Ke'er took a step forward and sat next to Xiao Luobo, "It's really you, when did you arrive?"

Yu Qiuhan also came over to sit down, and Si Kongling asked Xiao Er to add more bowls, chopsticks and food, "I just arrived today, and I was going to look for you, so I didn't know it was such a coincidence."

"I agreed to be late for a few days, how long have you been here?" Yu Qiuhan said abruptly, with a bad tone.

Si Kongling chuckled, and pulled her arm coquettishly, "It was delayed before I knew it, senior sister, don't be angry, I didn't mean it either."

"Go, go, what does it look like!" Qin Ke'er immediately took Si Kongling's hand away from Yu Qiuhan's arm, and pulled Yu Qiuhan towards her as if swearing sovereignty.

Si Kongling gave her a blank look, but she didn't argue. She thought for a while and was about to spit out the word "Lan", but was immediately stopped by Yu Qiuhan's eyes.

Si Kongling immediately knew that something was wrong, glanced at the diners around, and lowered his voice: "What happened?"

"It's inconvenient to say more here, after dinner, find a quiet place to discuss." Qin Ke'er said.

Si Kongling originally thought with full confidence that no matter how big and messy the court affairs were, as long as they stood far away from being affected, it had nothing to do with them.But now the house of Lan Mansion has been ransacked, and everyone is being held in the sky prison, where they will be executed soon.When Yu Qiuhan returned to the mountain with a letter, his master and the elderly immediately became very anxious, and asked them to secretly investigate the inside story of the matter, and he was on his way here.

"What does the prince's rebellion have to do with the Lan family?" Si Kongling asked.

"Mrs. Lan has a son named Lan Hao, who works as a servant in the Ministry of Industry. The main reason why Lan's family was raided was that he was under the prince's command. The prince planned a rebellion. He needed a lot of weapons and salaries to raise soldiers, so he wooed the Ministry of Industry. In recent years, the Ministry of Industry has built civil engineering projects, dredged ditches and weirs, and even repaired imperial tombs, etc., and they have been deducted as much as possible, and the rest has been put into the pocket of the prince and used for military machinery manufacturing."

Si Kongling was dumbfounded when he heard Qin Ke'er's words, "This is too bold! You are already a prince, isn't the throne a matter of time?"

"Of course you didn't expect it. We also searched for a long time before we found out. The prince premeditated these things to kill the emperor because of a woman."

"woman?"

"That woman is not Yang Yuhuan, but she also has the experience of her father snatching her son's wife." Qin Ke'er snorted, "But the emperor is no better than Tang Xuanzong. This woman didn't love him and committed suicide before entering the palace. The prince loves her to the core Shen, since then I have rebelled."

Si Kongling understood, "So the prince's accident, the Ministry of Industry is also implicated?"

"That's right, Emperor Longyan was furious, and Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry was even worse. Lan Hao was just a servant, so he couldn't help copying and beheading everyone."

"Mrs. Lan..." Si Kongling frowned, "Master said that Mrs. Lan is the only close friend, I don't know what kind of panic has become. But, what can we do now, can it be... robbing the prison to save people? "

Yu Qiuhan: "We can only wait for the master to arrive before making a conclusion. The case has not been completely settled yet, and it will probably not be ordered to kill him in a while."

"It's not over yet?" Si Kongling said.

"Arrested so many people, tortured and bit them one by one, endlessly, who knows when the bite will be finished." Qin Ke'er said, "This emperor is determined not to wipe out all the rebellious officials and thieves who are in the court. , I'm afraid I won't give up."

Si Kongling disagreed, "After the killing, how can he be the emperor, there are so many official positions and there is no one to replace him."

"Whoever said he was going to be killed, he definitely wanted it. Even if he didn't kill him, he still had to bring it out to show off the king's prestige, so as to warn others." Qin Ke'er thought about it and said, "But there is one thing that is strange."

"What's the matter?"

"Mrs. Lan has a son and a daughter. The whole family was arrested, but the daughter got married the day before and left the Lan family, so she survived."

"Such a coincidence?" Si Kongling was also surprised.

"That's not right, and the wedding was very grand, and the whole city knows it, even if the aftertaste hasn't passed yet, I heard that there will be a few banquets in two days."

"This is too absurd. On the one hand, all the family members are going to die, and on the other hand, there are still thoughts on holding a wedding banquet with great fanfare?"

"I'm quite surprised," Qin Ke'er said, "The man knew she was the daughter of the Lan family, but he wasn't in a hurry to get rid of the relationship. Don't you think it's rare?"
