The loyal minister was forced to marry the traitor

"Like" is easy to say, but Bai Yan doesn't believe it.

He brushed off his sleeves, and said indifferently to Xiao Jiuqin, "Don't be hysterical in broad daylight, you don't want to see me hang out with others, you're afraid of getting involved, I understand that."

As if to comfort a child, he promised, "With my current reputation, I'm afraid no one will think highly of me. Don't worry, I won't hinder your eyes."

Xiao Jiuqin: "..."

He was so angry that he didn't know what to say, so he simply left, so as not to beat him up in a fit of anger.

As soon as the door on this side was closed, Bai Yan let out a foul breath.

At that moment just now, he almost thought that Xiao Jiuqin was telling the truth.

----

The soldiers and horses from Xiaoyang Mansion came very quickly, and the night after Xiao Jiuqin left, there were horses neighing.

Bai Yan didn't expect it to be this night.The noise outside became louder and louder, and the flames shot up into the sky. It was the courtyard on the east side of Fangfu that flooded.

He didn't go out immediately, he opened a window and saw many people coming and going outside the house, most of them were bandits and servants of Fangfu.Raising the knife and dropping it, someone died in an instant.

Can't go out right now.The bandits are red-eyed and kill anyone they see.The bandits who passed through Yunzhai were besieged in Fang Mansion, and outside the mansion were soldiers and horses from Xiaoyang Mansion.The wind was jittery, even if a cat ran out at this moment, it would be beheaded as an officer and soldier.

Bai Yan thought of another thing.

The letter he sent to Xiaoyang Mansion was very clear, he had stabilized the bandits in Yunzhai, and Xiaoyang Mansion sent people to sneak in first, no matter what, it was definitely not such a rampant attack.

Seeing the bandits in the yard start to search one by one, Bai Yan knew that the boss must have realized that he was deceived again.

He immediately didn't dare to dawdle any longer, and jumped out from the small window next to him.

Fortunately, after entering the Fang Mansion that day, he left a little behind, he stepped on a little bit in advance, and found out all the places in the Fang Mansion.

Walking on the water in the east, now it is the safest place. It rained a little during the day, Bai Yan rubbed the mud with one hand and wiped his face twice, then scratched his hair, picked up a wooden stick and go east.

There were so many little people in a hurry along the way, Bai Yan didn't dare to look around carelessly, when he met someone, he either avoided them carefully, or dealt with them casually, and he was about to bypass the corridor.

Suddenly someone called his name behind him.

Bai Yan stood still and turned around.

It's Fang Yue.

"It's a spectacle that Mr. Bai is running away in embarrassment!" Fang Yue himself was also in a state of embarrassment, but he didn't know where his self-confidence deliberately mocked Bai Yan, his eyes were full of sarcasm,

"The lower official thought that a noble person like you would just sit in the main hall, waiting for those bandits to come to find you, and if you make clever talk, you can fool anyone."

"Since you say that I am fooling you, Mr. Fang should learn from it if you don't want to. Instead of being humble, you are still an official of the court, like a dog in the water, grabbing people's trouser legs to behave like a man."

Bai Yan's face was not clean, but he straightened his back as usual, even if he was running for his life, he still seemed to be walking in a leisurely manner.

Fang Yue hated his well-thought-out demeanor.

"It's not as good as Mr. Bai. You can climb the high branch of Pingjinhou's mansion early in the morning, and then you will fall into the eyes of the eunuch with palm prints. The eunuch will also look at you differently." Fang Yue looked at Bai Yan resentfully, "I am a servant of color. Why should you domineering in front of me and teach me!"

"My appearance is given by my parents. As for whether I am lucky or not, it has nothing to do with you!" Bai Yan looked angry, "I blame others when I fail to achieve anything. If you can make half a contribution to the country and the people, I'm afraid It’s not in a desperate situation right now.”

"What do you know?!" Fang Yue shouted loudly.

Bai Yan was afraid that he would attract bandits, so he didn't want to entangle him, but Fang Yue was now like a mad dog. He stared at Bai Yan like a tarsal maggot, "You will die badly, you ruined my good deed..."

"If it weren't for you, I wouldn't look like this now!" Fang Yue hated Bai Yan very much. He was humiliated several times by the bandits in Yunzhai during this period, and everything went wrong, so he had already accumulated a lot of resentment. Today was a mess, he just remembered to look for Bai Yan.

Find him and kill him.

Fang Yue went crazy.Bai Yan stared at him, fearing that the mad dog would rush up and bite him. He didn't have much patience, and he didn't want to cause the bandits to rush over, so he pretended to be weak and stabilized him first.

"I know you don't want to die either." Bai Yan pouted towards the east, "You can take shelter over there temporarily, you go with me first, and after today's matter is over, we will settle the grievances between you and me."

Fang Yue didn't believe it at first, he glanced outside, "Listen to the voices outside, they are all soldiers and horses of Xiaoyang Mansion, if I believe you, I am afraid that as soon as I go out of this door, I will be taken down .”

Bai Yan shook his head, "You are wrong, you will die faster if you stay here and confront me."

He threw the stick in his hand and made a gesture of compromise, "After all, you and I are in the same situation for the time being. The bandits will not show mercy. You and I can only die if we stay here."

"But if you escape here with me, there is still a chance of life."

"You're talking nonsense!" Fang Yue glared at Bai Yan, "I moved the embankment in order to embezzle ink and disaster money, and then blocked the carriages and horses of the household department. These crimes are enough to behead me for public display."

Bai Yan's heart sank, sure enough, the disaster in Yongzhou Mansion was not a man-made disaster.

But this is not the time to worry about this, Bai Yan pretended to excuse him, "I know you can't have such courage alone, I'm afraid there is someone pushing behind you, at most you will be pulled out to get in the way, as long as you will If everything is clear, although you will be charged with some crimes, you will not die."

"Maybe cooperate a little bit and dig out the real culprit behind it. You have done the crime and you can be punished lightly. As long as someone turns around, it will be a small punishment and a big punishment in the end."

Bai Yan was persuading and probing at the same time, Fang Yue's defense was not stable at all, and he found something wrong after a little trial.

"Yes, you're right... I'm not that big of a crime..." Fang Yue took a step back, "I was just fascinated by ghosts for a while, and the one who asked me to move the dam said that it would not cause too much impact, just to die A pariah..."

Bai Yan clenched his fists, "Yes, then what?"

Fang Yue shook his head, "There is no turning back when I shoot the bow. Since I moved the embankment, there is no turning back... He told me to do it as soon as possible, but you came so suddenly and disrupted my plan..."

Bai Yan originally took the opportunity to coax him away, but the person Fang Yue was talking about caught his attention.

If the disaster in Yongzhou Prefecture is not just a case of corruption of local officials, then what intentions does the person behind him have?

Even though he had calculated so much early in the morning, he held Fang Yue in his hands, and waited until everything was ready before kicking him out to make amends.

How familiar is this way.

Bai Yan remembered the case five years ago.

Also under the pretext of disaster relief, dozens of officials, large and small, were involved, causing disturbances in the government and the public, and even a prince died.

This is the matter, the Pingjin Marquis Mansion got involved for no reason, personal enmity, old hatred, family, country, and the world, everything can drag people to the point where they can't move at all.

There was a sour breath in Bai Yan's mouth, a thread was drawn five years ago, so many people had died, what about now?

And who is messing up the situation behind the scenes?

"Bai Yan, you want to know who is behind me, don't you?" Fang Yue smiled slyly, "I won't tell you," he seemed happy and crazy, "You will never know... "

Bai Yan understood what Fang Yue meant, he wanted him to die today.

So what is said now is not important, because the dead have no chance to speak out.

"I don't want to know." Bai Yan clenched his fists, "You don't have to be on guard against me, now you and I are grasshoppers on the same line, once you get out, you may still rely on me to save you."

He said this on purpose to tell Fang Yue to relax his vigilance.

"Don't you want to live?" Bai Yan signaled him to look back, Fang Yue glanced hesitantly, the direction behind him was full of flames, and the sound of fighting was getting closer.

"If you continue to dawdle like this, you will not be far from death. I advise you to think clearly whether you want to live or die."

After Bai Yan finished speaking, he turned around.

The dagger in his sleeve was clenched in his hand, as long as Fang Yue reacted inappropriately, Bai Yan would kill him.

Seeing Bai Yan pass the corner, Fang Yue relentlessly followed.

Temporary survival is more important than revenge.

The two have their own thoughts.

When we reached the easternmost point, there was no one there, the flames carried thick smoke straight into the sky, there were scattered furnishings everywhere, and blood stains all over the ground.

"Those bandits will come here soon, so the way to survive in your mouth is to sit and wait for death, right?" Fang Yue started to fear death after his madness passed.

If Bai Yan hadn't been concerned about Fang Yue stabbing him behind the back, and the person behind him, Fang Yue's head would have fallen to the ground by now.

"Look over there," Bai Yan pointed at the messy pile of firewood in the corner, "going out from here will just avoid the soldiers and horses outside."

Fang Yue looked at him, "Why do you avoid people from Xiaoyang Mansion? Isn't that the rescuer you called?"

Bai Yan snorted coldly, "If the two of us go out like this, we will be shot to death by random arrows before we can find out our identities, do you want to try?"

"Tsk!" Fang Yue turned his head and fell silent.

It's almost time, Bai Yan thought, Xiao Jiuqin should have gotten the news by now, as long as he gets out before the people from Xiaoyang Mansion rush in, he should be able to catch up with Xiao Jiuqin.

He couldn't trust other people, only Xiao Jiuqin would not harm him.

It is true that the people of Xiaoyang Mansion rescued and suppressed the bandits, and it is true that they took advantage of the chaos to kill him.

At that time, if you casually say a few perfunctory words in front of the emperor, no one will seize on that little doubtful point to investigate.Bai Yan had already figured it out since the chaos started.

Someone wants him dead.

No matter the cost!

Just as Bai Yan took Fang Yue out, there was a loud noise behind him. Fang Yue couldn't care about anything when he was in a panic, so he grabbed Bai Yan's arm, "What sound?!"

"Fu Huolei." Bai Yan's eyes were full of things that Fang Yue couldn't see clearly.

On the other side, Xiao Jiuqin hurried to the corner of the street and heard that loud noise.

With a sudden bang in his heart, he tightened the reins.

"Master Hou, what's the matter?" He managed to keep up with Xiao Jiuqin's horse, and suddenly saw Lord Hou's face change suddenly.

"Why is there Fuhuolei?" Xiao Jiuqin's heart sank little by little. Since he got the news, he had tried his best to rush over, but he didn't expect that he was still a step late.

Bai Yan is still in Fang Mansion.

This knowledge made Xiao Jiuqin feel like falling into an ice cave. If those bandits Bai Yan could barely handle it, how could that guy's thin body be able to stop the fire and thunder?

"Master Hou!"

Xiao Jiuqin raised his whip high, the horse under his seat neighed, and galloped away like an arrow off the string.

Bai Yan, if you die, I will pull you out of hell too!
