The loyal minister was forced to marry the traitor

"Want to get married?" Bai Yan blinked, "Think about it!"

Xiao Jiuqin: "..."

Lord Xiao Hou suddenly felt a little anxious. He remembered that he was always urging to get married during this time, but Bai Yan seemed not in a hurry at all, even...

Maybe he regretted it!

Thinking of this possibility, Xiao Jiuqin's face turned dark, and he thought cautiously: I'm pretty good-looking, too, and my martial arts skills are strong, so against Bai Yan...

It's over, when he just returned to Yingdu, he had ridiculed Bai Yan a few times, and thinking about it now, he was full of embarrassment.

In any case, he did not expect that the two of them would be in such a situation now.

At the beginning, every sentence was aimed at someone's heart, but now that I think about it, it seems that it's not surprising that Bai Yan suddenly regretted it.

The more Lord Xiao thought about it, the more he felt hopeless, he was thinking about whether to "plead guilty", when he saw Bai Yan yawned, "It's very late, I have something to do tomorrow, you should go to bed earlier. "

After finishing speaking, Bai Yan went into the room and fell asleep in front of Xiao Jiuqin.

Xiao Jiuqin: "..." Sure enough, he is tired of me.

You called me "Ninth Brother" "affectionately" last night, why did you get tired of it after only a day.

Lord Xiao Hou felt that he had been cheated of his feelings, he stared at Bai Yan who was sleeping on the bed, and heaved a long sigh.

He felt sorry for himself, but he didn't know that Bai Yan on the couch could hardly hold back his laughter.

He hadn't realized it before, but just now no matter how stupid he was, he understood that Xiao Jiuqin must have felt that he regretted getting married.

Although I don't know why he would think this way, but the expression on that guy's face is really too rare.

Bai Yan was afraid that his self-esteem would be hurt by laughing, so he deliberately went to bed first.

At the same time, he also felt a little evil, he wanted to see Xiao Jiuqin's follow-up reaction.

Well, he didn't admit it at all because he still remembered how Xiao Jiuqin "bullied" him several times back then, and the magnanimous Bai Yan didn't hold grudges at all.

No grudges at all!

On the other side, Xiao Jiuqin regretted for a long time, and finally sneaked onto the bed.

Regardless of whether Bai Yan regrets it or not, this marriage is definitely going to happen, so it is reasonable for the fiancé to share the inside and outside rooms and sleep together.

Moreover, they have slept together for ten years before, so what kind of etiquette and shame do they care about!

The next day, Bai Yan woke up first.

It was originally a bed that was not wide, and the two of them were entangled in hands and feet, sweating all over their bodies.

Moreover, Xiao Jiuqin hugged him tightly, and Bai Yan struggled for a long time and only let out one arm.

"Hey, don't make trouble." Xiao Jiuqin hugged Bai Yan and kissed him without opening his eyes.

Bai Yan: "..."

Bai Yan was forced to sleep for a while, and when he opened his eyes again, Xiao Jiuqin had disappeared.

"My lord, someone is asking to see you outside."

"Let him in."

Bai Yan never expected that it would be Yan Ruli, and seeing that the other party was weathered, he was a little surprised, "What's wrong?"

Yan Ruli didn't have time to be polite, so he said directly, "Xue Zhengming is going to be beheaded!"

Bai Yan was taken aback, "How is it possible?!"

"Early yesterday morning, someone in Dali Temple beat drums to appeal for grievances. The other party accused Xue Zhengming of not only persecuting the woman, but also killing her parents, and a new piece of evidence emerged from the occupation of the land, saying that those crazy people were also Xue Zhengming. for."

"Has the other party's identity been checked?"

"I've checked..." Yan Ruli hesitated, and Bai Yan looked at him and asked again, "What's going on?"

"It's just because I checked it that I think it's ridiculous. Judging from the current witness testimony, Zheng Ming is indeed..."

"Is the crime true?" Bai Yan felt even more inconceivable. He and Yan Ruli had investigated the case many times before. Because it was related to Xue Zhengming, the two of them dared not be sloppy, but no matter how they investigated, there was only one result in the end.

Xue Zhengming is guilty, but not guilty of death.

What's more, the charges on the surface are full of water, and he can be given justice only after being found out.

Unexpectedly, within a short period of time, another witness suddenly appeared, and other charges were drawn up.

"Then... Teacher, he is now..." Bai Yan showed a worried expression, "This matter is a blow to him. It won't be a big problem if you and I lied to him before, but now..."

"The so-called witness wrote a letter to the steward of Xue's house from the very beginning, so the teacher already knew about it before he beat the drum to complain."

When Bai Yan heard this, his expression became even uglier.

"Teacher, he is not very healthy. All these years are a burden. Once something happens to Xue Zhengming, how can he bear it?"

"That's the reason." Yan Ruli rushed to find Bai Yan, just looking for someone who could give an idea. Most of Yingdu are people who have nothing to do with themselves. When they saw something happened to Xue's family, everyone was worried. I can't wait to come here and step on it. Now that things are happening, more people are still watching the excitement.

Although Bai Yan wasn't there, it's not hard to imagine how many rumors Mr. Xue has suffered.

"I'll go back to Yingdu with you." Bai Yan made a decisive decision.

Yan Ruli was taken aback, "What about Suiyang Mountain?" Before he left, he only heard a decree from the palace, but he didn't know the content at all.

That's why he didn't write to Bai Yan to urge him to come back, but he came to Suiyang Mansion day and night to ask Bai Yan to give him some advice.

"There is Xiao Jiuqin in Suiyang Mountain." Bai Yan thought of the household department's embezzlement of Suiyang Mansion's relief food, and said, "Xue Zhengming has no enemies, so the sudden attack on him should not be aimed at him, or Xue Zhengming knows what is wrong. Things that should be known, or, someone has met him recently."

Bai Yan frowned, "Have you heard that anyone has seen him recently?"

Yan Ruli was taken aback, "Except for me to visit him regularly, there are only people from Dali Temple left," Yan Ruli shook his head after finishing speaking, "No, there seems to be someone who went there two days ago..."

"who is it?"

"I seem to have seen it once, but I can't remember where I saw it..." Yan Ruli scratched his head, "I think that person's whereabouts are a bit eye-catching, and he should know people from Dali Temple. I was in a hurry to see Zhengming, and I happened to bump into that person..."

"Thinking about it now, Zhengming's reaction that day was also very strange. He asked me about what happened five years ago, but you also know that I was a half-child at the time, and how much I knew, so I just slapped him a few words."

The more Yan Ruli thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, "I went to see him a few times before, and he was very happy, but when I was about to leave that day, he seemed to be hiding something in his heart. I asked him a question, but he only said that My stomach felt a little uncomfortable, so I didn't think much about it."

"I was so careless that I didn't notice something was wrong." Yan Ruli regretted endlessly.

Bai Yan looked at him, "Xue Zhengming has changed a lot in recent years."

"What?" Yan Ruli felt that there was something in his words.

"Among the few of us, you are the only one who always regards him as an obedient and honest little one." Bai Yan sighed, "Back then, the Xue family was unlucky with the Pingjin Hou's family, the teacher was thrown into prison, and you were taken away... ...Even I can't protect myself, so no one cares about Xue Zhengming, and in the end..."

"What happened? What happened to him?" Yan Ruli panicked.

Bai Yan patted him on the shoulder reassuringly, "Xue Zhengming is still young, but he wanted to save the teacher, so he was framed by someone accidentally, and was bullied by a group of aristocratic princes so that he jumped from Huiyue Tower."

Yan Ruli took a breath, "Then he..."

"Those sons of aristocratic families intended to bully and bully him, and didn't want to cause death, so Xue Zhengming broke a leg, and later he was injured in the mansion for half a year. Later, the teacher was released and wanted to take him back to Jiangnan. It was originally planned, but Xue Zhengming refused."

"Then he finally..." Yan Ruli didn't know that so many things happened back then, the more he listened, the more he felt that it was far from what he imagined, and when he heard it now, he felt quite uncomfortable.

Five years ago, Yingdu was in chaos. Whether it was Bai Yan, Xiao Jiuqin, or even Xue Zhengming, they all had a hard time. It seemed that he was the only one who was hurriedly taken away by his parents.

It seems that he was lucky to escape the riot, but he also seemed to miss many important things.

When he came back, things were different, no, it seemed that he was the only one, as if he was standing in the same place without any change.

"Don't think too much." Bai Yan could tell at a glance that Yan Ruli was thinking wildly, but many things were not what he thought.

Now that they're all grown up, there's no point in being sad or regretful all the time.

Bai Yan couldn't wait for Xiao Jiuqin to come back, so he directly left him a letter and rushed to Yingdu with Yan Ruli in the afternoon.The two of them were non-stop and didn't even have time to drink saliva, and finally rushed to the city before the curfew.

As soon as they entered the city, Uncle Xiao waited for the two of them in a conspicuous place.

The road was bumpy, and Bai Yan was shaking under his feet. He barely grabbed Yan Ruli's arm and asked Uncle Xiao, "How is Dali Temple going?"

"Eunuch Huaichun has sent someone there, and the situation is fairly stable."

"What about the witnesses?" they said as they walked.

Uncle Xiao obviously watched these two days from time to time, so he knew quite a lot, "Someone got involved in it. As far as it is concerned, at least four forces are involved in Mr. Xue's matter."

"There has been a force in Dali Temple that has been blocking us from inquiring about the news, and there are mysterious people reaching out in the dark. If Eunuch Huaichun hadn't sent someone to protect Mr. Xue in prison this morning, maybe someone would have succeeded."

"Why are you making such a fuss?" Bai Yan was puzzled.

Yan Ruli was even more confused.

"What secrets does Xue Zhengming have?" Bai Yan looked in the direction of Dali Temple, "The sudden attack must be because someone is messing with the situation in the dark again. What exactly does Xue Zhengming know?"

"Let's ask him tomorrow." Yan Ruli became more and more confused.

Bai Yan nodded, "Uncle Xiao will work harder tonight, and send a few more people to watch over him. The longer the time, the longer it will take. I'm afraid that some people will not be able to resist Xue Zhengming."

"No matter what Xue Zhengming did, it shouldn't be those people in the dark who punished him."

When Bai Yan thought of Xue Liangfu, he felt even more disappointed. The teacher had worked so hard for Liangfu, but he didn't expect that he couldn't even save his only son's life at the end of the day.

Here, Bai Yan sighed, and over there Xiao Jiuqin returned to Wen Mansion excitedly after a busy day. In his imagination, there was nothing between the two of them, only a thin envelope on the empty table.

Lord Xiao Hou was extremely angry: the sweetheart has escaped!

He quickly opened the letter, read it at a glance, and was depressed.

This time again and again, how can the mess go on and on!

I want to get married... Lord Xiao Hou wants to cry but has no tears, and there is a bridal chamber...
