At this moment, a group of soldiers wearing armor were walking by on the street. They were all tall and tall, with steel swords across their waists. One of the people in the group rode a horse and ran up to Yuan Ji, smiled and said, "Yesterday I

Farewell, we meet again today."

Liu Taijing was dressed in armor. He took off his helmet, and a ponytail that reached to his waist hung down smoothly, revealing his elegant and wind-like temperament.

"Senior Brother Liu, why are you..." Yuan Ji moved his finger up and down in surprise, "You are wearing a military uniform."

"When you join the world, you should not treat yourself as a senior brother. Now I am serving as Zuocheng, the Imperial Guard in the west of the city, and I go to the border fortress to check the ordnance situation with the imperial army in the west of the city." Liu Taijing smiled warmly and saluted Jiang Guo, "It happened that Yanzhou Mu was being tried, so I came here specially.

We'll be stationed here, and we'll hit the road after the case is over. What about you? What are you doing here?"

"That's it." Yuanji returned the courtesy and replied, "Jiang Guo and I are going to look for relatives."

Jiang Guo glared at Yuan Ji, curled his lips and said, "You are really on the road, is it you who calls Jiang Guo?"

Yuan Ji and Liu Taijing both smiled awkwardly.

Jiang Guo held the cigarette rod in his mouth without looking at Liu Tai's mirror, and said in a high voice: "Xiao Liu, you have become an official, you are so majestic."

Jiang Guo and Liu Taijing were familiar with each other. She often drew medicine for the disciples in Gu Nei, and coupled with Liu Taijing's hard-wearing temperament, the two were considered friends.

"Haha, young official." Liu Taijing got off his horse, "Guozi, who are your relatives in Yanzhou?"

Jiang Guo puffed out mist and curled his lips: "It's none of your business."

"It's Mr. Mujiang Zimo of Yanzhou." Yuanji said, "We are planning to go to the prison."

"No outsiders are allowed in the prison, so we have to clear the relationship." Liu Taijing held his chin in thought, "I have a way, let's go together."

Liu Taijing led Ma and the two of them toward the prison. Jiang Guo puffed on his cigarette and said, "You have enough connections."

"Yanzhou is close to Kaiyuan Valley. Many of the brothers in the valley are making a living in Yanzhou." He pointed to a silk and satin shop, "That was also opened by a disciple of the sect. Now he has become a merchant, broke through the worries, and even married a wife.

There is hope for the future."

"Can you get rid of your inner demons by being a businessman?" Yuan Ji frowned, "Businessmen are so profit-oriented and have such deep desires, how can you get rid of your inner demons?"

"You don't know something. Everyone has different opportunities to break the mirror." Liu Taijing looked at him and said warmly, "We are all mortals, and the emotions and obsessions in everyone's heart are different from person to person. Some may be different.

Just being caught in the rain can break the inner demons. There are thousands of Tao methods, and the Tao mind should be kept one. Yuanji, your Tao can only be your Tao."

If Yuanji realized something, he nodded.

When the three of them arrived at the prison, Liu Taijing went in and called someone. After a while, a jailer came out. He chatted with the three of them for a while, and then asked about the purpose of their visit.

When he learned that Jiang Guo was Mr. Jiang's grandson, the jailer said awkwardly: "What a coincidence, there are so many people coming to see Mr. Jiang today. Guozi, I'm afraid you have to wait a while, there's someone inside."

"Who is it?" Jiang Guo raised a cold eyebrow, "Is it those three court lieutenants?"

The jailer explained: "No, I don't recognize that person, and he is still talking inside. Mr. Jiang has given instructions not to be disturbed. If he is sent from above, he must also ask someone to go and inform him."

"Senior brother, I dare to ask." Yuanji asked seriously, "Is the courier involved in this case still in jail?"

The jailer nodded: "Locked, why? Do you want to see him?"

"Yes." Yuanji bowed respectfully, "Senior brother, please do me a favor."

"That's possible, but the Tingwei who came here today has given orders to keep a strict watch on him." The jailer warned him, "You have to hurry up."

Jiang Guo and Liu Taijing went into the cell room to drink tea and wait for others, while Yuan Ji followed the jailer into the cell.

The surrounding smell was pungent and unpleasant. The air was mixed with the smell of urine, sweat, excrement, and a faint salty smell of blood.

In the deepest part of the cell, Yuanji saw the messenger.

…

"Ma He was born in the year of Chongwu. Today, six out of twenty, he is serving as a minor official under the Mu family in Daizhou. He has no wife at home, only his two elders are still in Daizhou." Yuanji looked at the dirty Ma He and smiled slightly.

He turned around and asked in a deep voice, "Yes or no?"

The floor of the cell was covered with messy straw. Ma He was approaching on his knees and holding an iron chain. His face was covered with blood and dust, and his lips were chapped and covered with dead skin.

He asked in a weak voice: "Who are you? How do you know this?"

"You have no brothers in your family. You are an only son. The two elders raised you with half an acre of thin farmland. Later, in the 10th year of Chongwu, you were sent to the Daizhou Mufu by offering 'filial piety silver' to Ma Fu, the steward of the Daizhou Mufu.

I hope to be able to work as an official in the future. Later, Ma Fu adopted you as his adopted son and changed his name to Ma He." Yuan Ji watched Ma He's every move, "Yes or no?"

Ma He's eyes were red and bloodshot. He climbed on the wooden pillar and tried to hold himself up, and said in a trembling voice: "Who are you?"

"In the seventh year of Zhongyong!" Yuanji's voice suddenly turned cold. "In place of Jiang Lin, Jiang's messenger, you race to the frontier to deliver a secret letter from Yanzhou Mu to Shi Shi Jiao Pengxing."

"Yes and no?"

"no!"

Ma He suddenly let go of his hand in fright. He moved his hands and feet back and shouted hoarsely: "I am Jiang Lin, I am Jiang Lin! That letter was handed over to me by Mr. Jiang Zimo himself." He shouted sternly, "Yes.

Jiang Zimo handed it to me personally!!!"

"You are not Jiang Lin." Yuan Ji's eyes were like daggers and his tone was cold, "The real Jiang Lin is dead."

Ma He suddenly trembled all over, and cold sweat broke out. He raised his eyes and stared at Yuan Ji, as if he had recovered from the fright, and forced himself to calm down.

"Jiang Zimo colluded with the remnants of treason, and he deserves to be punished for his crime!" Ma He, like a ghost in the shadow, said sadly, "As the leader of the Jiang clan, he sheltered the rebellious people with the intention of treason. This is the way to punish the nine clans.

Big crime! I am doing this to make a living for my clan, for the Jiang clan——"

"You are plotting to kill the Jiang family!" Yuan Ji interrupted coldly, "Just because the lives of your parents are in the hands of Daizhou Mu Fen Chengyue! Yes and no!"

"Feng Chengyue promised to take care of your second elder for you, so you agreed to die for him, yes or no!"

"You replaced Jiang Lin and intended to frame Jiang Zimo for harboring the remnants of the Zhen family and put him to death. Yes or no!"

Amid the continuous questioning, Ma He shook his head like crazy, then grabbed his dirty hair and lay on the ground, sobbing even more.

"No, no, no!" Ma He cried and shouted. He suddenly rushed out from the shadows. His black hands reached out from the wooden pillar and danced wildly to catch Yuan Ji. "Who are you? Tell me! Is it Jiang Zimo?"

Sent you?! Or Jiao Pengxing?! Or Feng Chengyue?!!!"

"Jiang Zimo? Jiao Pengxing? Feng Chengyue? Why do you only think of these people?" Yuan Ji's cold eyes suddenly showed a bit of pity. He leaned over and answered word by word in a dark voice, "Why can't it be Zheng Guoda Sikong?

,Pang Bo Yi.”

Ma He's pupils dilated, and he leaned against the wooden pillar but collapsed: "Impossible... absolutely impossible! Lord Sikong will never send someone here, never, never!"

"How do you know not? How does Da Sikong know that you won't frame Feng Chengyue in order to live alone?" Yuan Ji sneered, "In order to survive, what do two old men over fifty have to do? Your life is yours.

It was fought out.”

These words caused Ma He to tighten his fingers on the wooden pillar, blood overflowed from the torn wounds and flowed down the pillar, and he sobbed helplessly.

"No." Ma He pressed his cheek against the wooden pillar and looked up, tears mixed with the dust in the corners of his eyes, and he swallowed stubbornly, "I am Jiang Lin, I am Jiang Zimo, it was he who gave me the letter with his own hands."

"The real Jiang Lin set out for the frontier fortress the day after Zhen Yi was beheaded." Yuan Ji picked up his chin and looked at it, "and you set off when the team was approaching Daizhou. The frontier fortress soldiers can testify to this.

."

Ma He grabbed Yuan Ji's robe, slid his throat, and said desperately: "We all agreed, this is a dead end, why did Master Sikong change his mind at this time, why? What do you want? Tell me! What do you want,

What do you want!"

"This is naturally a dead end, but now the situation has changed." Yuan Ji said close to the other party's ear, "Feng Chengyue has defected to the Taiwei in order to protect himself. Lord Sikong has ordered that there is only one person in charge of the conspiracy. This person

The name is, Feng Chengyue."

"Master Feng has defected." Ma He murmured in confusion. His breathing suddenly became heavy. He excitedly grabbed Yuan Ji's clothes and asked anxiously, "What about my parents -"

"Your parents are fine. I have sent someone to take your parents to Yanzhou." Yuan Ji pulled his hand away and said, "I have fulfilled Lord Sikong's instructions. From now on, you are neither Ma He nor Jiang Lin. You are still you.

You are Luo Chuan."

Luo Chuan, this name has not been called out by anyone for sixteen years. Even after changing his name, his parents called him He'er for the sake of his future.

When did the name Ma He become ingrained into the bone marrow like a tattoo? Luo Chuan in the huge Daizhou Mu mansion gradually bent down amidst the flattering laughter, calling strangers one after another.

, but the result was a dead end.

This name shocked him all over. How could he forget it? He remembered the old faces of his parents in his past memories, and suddenly he knelt on the ground and cried slowly.

The cries became louder and louder, causing the prisoners in the surrounding cells to start yelling and cursing. The noisy voices gathered together and echoed in the dark cell, like the continuous wails of evil spirits.

"I'm not Ma He!!!" Luo Chuan wrinkled his prison clothes. He stood up amidst the jingling of iron chains, straightened his back and roared sadly, "I am Luo Chuan! I am Luo Chuan! My body is full of hair and skin."

I haven’t fulfilled my filial piety to my parents, so I can’t die! Father! Mother!!!”

Amidst the shrill wails, Luo Chuan knelt down heavily and kowtowed repeatedly in the direction of the cell's exit.

When he raised his head, Yuanji's figure was no longer there. He was surrounded by shouts and curses, making him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave in a moment of madness.

Geng's swallowing gradually stopped and he murmured: "I am Luo Chuan."

Yuan Ji came out of the cell. Hearing the overwhelming shouting and cursing inside, the jailer frowned and asked, "It's so loud, are you being too public?"

Yuanji saluted and said, "Senior brother, please forgive me."

"It's okay, if Mr. Jiang can get out of this case." The jailer put his arm on his shoulder, "Even if you poke a hole in the sky, I will accompany you."

Yuanji chuckled twice and looked at the class room. Seeing no one there, he asked: "Where is my senior sister?"

The jailer pointed to the cell behind him with his thumb and said, "Go in and see grandpa."
