Wait a minute, heroine

The place where the imperial guards were stationed was close to the outer wall of the palace city. Three thousand elite imperial guards were stationed inside, working in three shifts to guard the safety of the imperial city.

The central area where the Imperial Guards were stationed was the Yunning Marquis Mansion, where the deposed Emperor of Wei was placed under house arrest.

Ye Jingtang and Dongfang Liren came to the vicinity of Yunninghou Mansion together, and together with the Heiya police officers, they checked the surrounding environment and found no traces of tunnels. However, for the sake of safety, Dongfang Liren still ordered that the deposed emperor be moved When he arrived at a nearby mansion, he was closely guarded by the imperial army and secretly dispatched black yamen personnel.

Dongfang Liren did not arrange for manpower deployment with great fanfare. After all, he only knew the general intention and there was no basis for it.

Prince Wu was being watched by the masters of the black government. He was drinking with other princes and princes in Longyin Tower today, and there was nothing unusual about him.

If the defense is too obvious, Prince Wu will definitely know that the plan is exposed and will cancel the plan directly. Even if the molten oil works and the palace wall collapses tomorrow, there is no way to prove that Prince Wu arranged for someone to do it.

The prince of the vassal was directly killed without any evidence. The kings were in despair and might cause a big chaos. Therefore, for now, they had to pretend that the court knew nothing and waited for the prince of Wu to take risks.

After arranging things, it was already dark at night, so Dongfang Liren settled on the west side of the imperial city, so that he could deal with changes in time.

In the morning, Ye Jingtang had a fight in the tunnel, and in the evening, he had a fight with three people on the street. He had lunch for lunch and only ate half of it. He really needed to rest, so he left the matter to the black yamen manager and got off work.

Benben's original intention was to let him live nearby in the palace and spend the night in the palace.

But Benben would not let him sleep with him, so Ye Jingtang naturally declined the kindness and left and rushed to Tianshui Bridge.

As late at night, the number of pedestrians on the street gradually became sparse.

Ye Jingtang's figure flew past countless pavilions and mansions like a swallow, crossed Yun'an and came to the street of Tianshui Bridge. It could be seen that all the shops were closed.

There was still some movement inside the escort agency. Looking from the roof, I saw Chen Biao and Yang Chao sitting under the eaves, with two pots of wine and a stack of peanuts in the middle, staying up late talking:

"The young master's family is in Liangzhou, so he really has no confidante? The letter was inserted on the door today, and he didn't even reveal his face. At first glance, it seems that the girl is shy and embarrassed..."

"I watched my young master grow up, how could I not know this? The girls from the border are not good-looking and have bad tempers. From the age of four or five, the young master would squat at the door and worry about what to do with his wife in the future. My master passed away and I heard that he was coming to the capital. , the one who leaves simply does not take his head back..."

…

?

Ye Jingtang stood on the roof, wanting to kick Lao Yang who was drunk and talking nonsense, but for the sake of being an elderly person at home, he decided not to disturb the two of them from drinking, and went directly into Pei's house. alley.

There were two lanterns hanging outside the gate of Pei Mansion, and the door was closed.

The Night Terror Hall did not disturb the Pei family who had gone to bed, and went directly to the back house. As soon as it landed on the roof, a big bird popped its head from the ridge of the roof, and then jumped in front of it: "Chichichichi..." Judging from the tone, it is saying - dead ghost! You still know to come back!

Ye Jingtang caught the bird and rubbed his head:

"Have you caught up with anyone?"

The bird was shaking its head and gesticulating, presumably meaning - running around without stopping at all. If it followed, it would not be able to come back to report, and if it came back to report, it would lose its target.

Ye Jingtang has been biting Xu Bailin and others for so long like a ghost. No matter how arrogant the other party is, they should know not to take chances. This is not surprising.

After chasing Niaoniao for most of the day, he was very tired. Ye Jingtang was at Pei's house and did not let Niaoniao stay vigil anymore. After he landed on the verandah, he asked Niaoniao to go play in Yunli House.

Luo Nuxia lived temporarily in Pei's house, and Zhe Yunli naturally lived here too. Because there was no eldest daughter in the Pei family, Zhe Yunli was treated like a princess, living alone in the huge west wing courtyard with four or five other people. A maid serves.

Although it was already late at night, Zhe Yunli had not yet fallen asleep. In the large room, he and several other little maids of similar age were studying the bird brand, which was very popular among the ladies in the capital.

Seeing the little maids looking happy and sleepless, Ye Jingtang knew that Little Girl Zhe had lost miserably. It was a bit funny, so he didn't go over to disturb them and quietly came to Sanniang's courtyard.

In the main courtyard, the lights in the wing room where Xiu He slept had been turned off, but the lights in the main room were still on.

Ye Jingtang walked to the door and looked around, and saw that Sanniang, who had taken the medicine, had already fallen asleep in the bedroom; Luo Ning was waiting for him to come back, still leaning on the beauty's couch, reading a book in her hand.

Hearing the movement outside the door, Luo Ning put down her book, made a shushing gesture, then walked quietly to the door, turned around and closed the door, saying softly:

"Sanniang just went to bed. Are you done? Are you going to go out later?"

Ye Jingtang put his hand on Luo Nuxia's shoulder: "The matter has not been settled yet, and I may go out at any time."

Luo Ning waited for Ye Jingtang to come back in order to recuperate his body so as not to get into trouble in a fight. However, when she came back, she went into the house. It seemed a bit too direct, so she asked;

"Have you eaten?"

Ye Jingtang shook his head: "I ran around all day and didn't even have time to eat."

Seeing this, Luo Ning turned around and walked to the small kitchen in the back house: "Now that the maid has rested, let me feed you."

"under?"

Ye Jingtang blinked and looked at the cold and charming profile beside him.

Luo Ning felt that Ye Jingtang's words were wrong, so she turned her head and looked at each other:

"What's wrong?"

Ye Jingtang raised his hand and put it on Luo Ning's shoulder:

"nothing."

"Hmph~"

Luo Ning twisted her shoulders slightly and let Ye Jingtang hug her without moving away.

The two of them went to the kitchen of the back house together. Because the house was very large, the size of the kitchen yard was similar to that of the yard in Shuanggui Lane.

Luo Ning was afraid that she would leave in a hurry when the night terror hall came back, so she prepared boiling water in advance so that she could have a hot meal in a quarter of an hour at most.

Luo Ning was working neatly in front of the stove, and Ye Jingtang was holding hands beside her. They looked like a close couple.

But when Luo Ning was chopping green onions on the cutting board, the blade of the knife suddenly paused, and then she raised the knife and placed it on Ye Jingtang's neck, with a look of shame and anger;

"You pervert!"

Ye Jingtang was beating eggs when he was stunned by the sudden murderous intent and said blankly:

"I didn't touch you, why are you so horny?"

Luo Ning's face turned red, remembering the unbearable experience that day when the two of them took medicine together. She clenched her teeth and glared at Ye Jingtang for a moment, then put away the kitchen knife and continued chopping vegetables.

Da da da~

Ye Jingtang shook his head and smiled, cracking the eggs with chopsticks, and leaned a little closer:

"Nvxia Luo just said it herself, don't go back on your word later."

Luo Ning stayed away a little, looking disgusted, but didn't say anything...

——

On the other side, Prince Jing’s Mansion.

At night, Mingyu Tower is brightly lit, standing like a lighthouse between the cities.

Outside Mingyu Tower is the Black Yamen. Because of the special nature of the Yamen, there are few prosperous shops in the surrounding streets and alleys, and people coming and going are in a hurry and dare not stay in the Yamen.

Outside the high wall on the east side of the Hei Yamen is an old alley. In the alley is the residence of the head of the Hei Yamen. There is a small courtyard inside, and the lights are still on.

There was a big pot in the yard, and a cook was cooking a big pot of vegetables.

Qiu Tianhe was dressed in cloth, standing outside the door with his hands behind his hands, looking at the moonlight in the sky. Because of the fragrant cartilage in his body, Divine Doctor Wang used twelve golden needles to seal his Qi meridians. The restriction was too great, and his fingers trembled from time to time. He looks like a common man with a big frame but weak hands and feet.

Although he walked out of the dungeon, he was not free. He was an immortal prisoner locked in the capital.

There was free prison food in the dungeon, and it was obviously inappropriate for the court to provide food and shelter when he came out, but Qiu Tianhe could not be allowed to leave the sight of the Hei Yamen. For this reason, the Hei Yamen symbolically arranged a job of delivering prison food and allocating housing. Return four taels of silver every month.

Qiu Tianhe has been in the world for half his life, and he is considered a top boss in the world at the peak of his powers. It is a bit unseemly to do errands here.

But "once you enter the arena, life and death are at stake", you have been in the arena for half your life, and now the court no longer pursues the past grievances. You can live a long life in the capital, get a meal every day, and spend the rest of the time drinking tea and sunbathing. With the pension, it’s considered a happy death no matter how you think about it, so there’s nothing to complain about.

Qiu Tianhe waited outside the door for a moment. After the cook had prepared the last meal of the day and put it in the rice pail, he walked in, picked it up, and walked towards the side door of the black office.

After taking a few steps, I heard a voice:

Click~

The faint sound of cracks in masonry.

Qiu Tianhe paused and looked at a corner of the outer wall of Hei Yamen, only to see a crack appearing on the ground.

Qiu Tianhe frowned and didn't notice anything special, so he didn't care. He entered the black office with two rice pails and returned to the same place where he had been imprisoned for a year.

The Black Yamen Dungeon is divided into three floors. The whole building is made of black rattan bricks and is indestructible both inside and outside.

The black yamen are dedicated to dealing with Jianghu people. They kill people on the spot when they are doing normal business. There are not many people who can be brought back and imprisoned. But those who can be locked up in the dungeon either have special functions or have unique skills. None of them are good.

The underground level is quite normal. It contains strange people and strangers. Occasionally, they are pulled out to work as delinquents to help solve cases. It is possible to get out alive in this life.

The second floor is basically for death row prisoners. Once you enter, you will not have the chance to see the light of day again. The residents in the seven or eight cells are all well-known heroes in the world. Qiu Tianhe used to be the most famous person here.

It was late at night, and in the prison deep underground, there were occasional soft sounds of chains being dragged.

Qiu Tianhe walked through the living room one by one, put the rice in a bowl and placed it outside the small opening on the door. When he reached the second floor, he unexpectedly found that a new person had arrived in his 'former residence'.

Qiu Tianhe was slightly surprised. He went to the well and looked around to see who his friends were. He found two of his friends inside, covered in blood, with their hands and feet chained and leaning against the wall.

Seeing his head peeking out, the short and stocky man among them sat up quickly:

"Hey! Man, what is this place?"

Seeing that he didn't recognize him, Qiu Tianhe responded casually:

"Black Yamen Dungeon. Who are you two?"

The short and stocky man said: "The second king of Yanzhou, my brother Chengjing, the tiger king of the collapsed mountain."

Qiu Tianhe said unexpectedly: "Two kings of Yanzhou? Do you two deserve to live in this room?"

"Hey!"

In the dungeon, Wang Er, who had just woken up from a coma, originally wanted to ask about the situation, but when he saw that the boy delivering food above was so arrogant, he suddenly became angry:

"Old boy, my two brothers are in prison. I don't care about you when they are bullied by dogs. If you were outside and heard the names of my two brothers, you would be frightened and kneel down on the spot. Why don't we deserve to live here? A room?”

Qiu Tianhe slowly served the rice and motioned to the left and right:

"The person on the left is Nangong Ling, the man with a thousand faces, and the one-eyed Maitreya on the right is Shazhou. Do you think you two are qualified to live in the middle?"

? !

When Wang Er heard these two famous demons, his momentum immediately weakened a bit, and he looked around:

"It's not like my two brothers combined can't pass two moves."

"Do you have the ability to speak louder so that the two people next door can hear you?"

Wang Er felt that in the cell, the two murderous demons couldn't do anything to him, but he didn't know if he would encounter him in the future, so he really didn't dare to shout loudly, so he just said:

"So what if I don't dare? Why are you raising the tiger-skin flag when you deliver food? You have the ability to open this fence and talk!"

Qiu Tianhe was too lazy to scare the fish in the world and asked:

"How did you two get in?"

Wang Er got angry when he talked about this: "I took over a murder deal, but it didn't work out and the ship capsized."

"Kill who?"

"A gentleman from Heiya is called Ye Jingtang. Speaking of which, my two brothers attempted murder. According to the law, how many years should they be sentenced?"

Qiu Tianhe thought for a while: "Those who attempt to murder will be punished by being a disciple for three years; those who seek to injure others will be hanged; those who seek to kill others will be beheaded."

Wang Er looked overjoyed: "We are not hurt! In the conscience of heaven and earth, my brothers didn't even touch the corners of Master Ye's clothes, and they were beaten half to death. Does this mean they can be released after being imprisoned for three years?"

Qiu Tianhe shook his head and sighed: "If you close the first floor, you may get out. If you close this floor, don't even think about it. Since the dungeon was repaired, only one person has walked out of this floor alive."

"who?"

"Qiu Tianhe."

Wang Er's eyes were slightly startled, and he said in disbelief: "Qiu Tianhe is out?! Once Xuanyuan Chao dies, Qiu Tianhe is firmly at the head of the sword, how dare the court let this person go?"

Qiu Tianhe felt that this boy had some knowledge and added an extra spoonful to his rice bowl:

"Qiu Tianhe is half a master of Night Jing Hall. It's not difficult to open a back door through connections."

Wang Er was very surprised, but after thinking about it, he thought it was not impossible - the descendant of the Eight-Step Crazy Sword, I heard that he was an old acquaintance with Qiu Tianhe, and Ye Jingtang knew the Eight-Step Crazy Sword, so it was normal for him to be related to Qiu Tianhe.

Wang Er thought about it for a moment, frowned and said:

"Master Ye is a member of the imperial court, and should be punished according to the law. Qiu Tianhe is half his master, and he can let go of robbing the emperor's wife. My brothers have not even touched him. According to the law, he is only imprisoned for three years, but he was imprisoned directly. Death, isn’t this a case of favoritism and perverting the law?”

Qiu Tianhe shook his head and was too lazy to answer any more questions. He sent the food down and turned to leave...
