"No, Chang Feng is dead now. As long as the one-eyed dragon, Bai Ruxue, is willing to come forward to testify against Wang Boyan, by then there will be both witnesses and physical evidence. Even if Wang Boyan is the best, he will not be able to argue."
When Shao Yan heard this, he felt very unhappy. Didn't he push Bai Ruxue into the fire pit? Although this could effectively attack Wang Boyan and his gang members, Wang Boyan, an old fox, has always been cunning, and he would definitely leave no room for it.
Shao Yan has seen too many TV dramas about suppressing things that are not good for him. Since ancient times, Shao Yan has seen this method of killing people and silencing them. However, Deng Bingtang was stubborn and refused to listen to his persuasion. In desperation, Shao Yan had to ask him to protect Bai Ru.
Snow, we must ensure her safety
Afterwards, Deng Bingtang said goodbye to Shao Yan and others, and together with Zhang Baihu, he led hundreds of officers and soldiers to move forward reluctantly. Shao Yan, Bai Mei, Yun Yun and others watched them leave. At this time, they only heard that they were not far away.
There was a sound of horse hooves coming from everywhere, and the sound sounded very rapid.
"The imperial edict has arrived!" As a high-pitched voice came from the distance, five soldiers on horseback rushed to Deng Bingtang. The leading soldier held up a roll of yellow paper in his hand. Deng Bingtang, Zhang Baihu
Upon seeing this, he quickly led his officers and soldiers to throw them down.
"By God's blessing, the emperor issued an edict. I have learned that a breakthrough has been made in the case of counterfeit banknotes. Deng Bingtang, the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment, has contributed a lot. Therefore, the case is of great importance. I specially ask you to come to the palace to discuss the matter as soon as possible. There will be no mistakes. I hereby express my gratitude."
"I obey the decree, long live long live!" Deng Bingtang carefully took the imperial edict. After passing the imperial edict, the five soldiers turned away and left. Zhang Baihu said in surprise: "Strange, how did the emperor know about this? The news came so quickly.
The news reached the palace.”
"It's not surprising at all." Just when the master and servant were at a loss what to do, Shao Yan quietly arrived accompanied by Yun Yun, Bai Mei and others.
"Brother Shao, why did you say this?" Deng Bingtang was puzzled. Shao Yan thought for a while and said calmly: "If I'm not wrong, this matter may have a lot to do with Wang Boyan."
"You mean Wang Boyan faked the imperial edict?"
Shao Yan smiled heartily and said: "That's not true. Although Wang Boyan has power over the government and the opposition, after this incident, this old guy is like a frightened bird. We are in an extraordinary period now. There is no need for him to play with fire and burn himself. It is obvious that he forced the emperor to issue this imperial edict.
I wrote this on the surface to praise you, but in fact I just want to use this matter as an excuse."
"What brother Shao said is true. In this case, I'm afraid it will be very bad for me to go here." Deng Bingtang knew very well that Wang Boyan was very powerful in the court, and the emperor was weak by nature, and had no right to make decisions in the face of major right and wrong. However,
From the day he decided to move Wang Boyan down, Deng Bingtang had already put life and death aside. Even though he knew he was going to die, he had to face it calmly. He said to Zhang Baihu beside him: "Zhang Lian, hurry back to your house and let him go immediately."
He killed Miss Bai and moved the one-eyed dragon to another place."
Zhang Lian said in astonishment: "Sir, what do you mean?"
"Your Excellency, you are right. Since Wang Boyan can obtain an imperial edict from the emperor, he has the ability to seize prisoners from the prison of the Ministry of Punishment. If Bai Ruxue and One-Eyed Dragon fall into the hands of Wang Boyan, it will probably be a disaster."
As a modern person, Shao Yan has long been familiar with such cases. When a person is at the end of his rope, he is like a vicious dog that is cornered. He bites people and jumps when he sees a wall. Deng Bingtang did this just to protect him.
Good witness, don't want them to die in vain
Zhang Baihu finally understood. He had been with Deng Bingtang for many years, and this was the first time he saw Deng Bingtang's face so ugly. Without saying a word, he led more than a hundred officers and soldiers to the capital at high speed. Before leaving, Deng Bingtang was greeted by thousands of people.
I ordered them to immediately disguise themselves as ordinary people and hide in a safe place once they find out that the situation is not good. All of Wang Boyan's men are murderers. Zhang Baihu and others will definitely die if they fall into their hands.
After Zhang Baihu left, Deng Bingtang frowned and looked up at the blue sky. A trace of anxiety flashed through his deep eyes. He slowly turned around and looked at Shao Yan and said lightly: "Brother Shao, I'm afraid we will be defeated this time. Wang Boyan is sure
He will use this incident to start a killing spree. With his personality, he will not let you go. Without further ado, you should leave Nanliang Kingdom as soon as possible."
Deng Bingtang said again: "If anything happens to me, my little girl Ling'er will be left to you, Brother Shao."
"Don't worry, I will go all out to protect Miss Ling'er's safety."
Deng Bingtang shook his head, "I hope you can protect her for the rest of your life."
Shao Yan's face suddenly changed. Does the old guy really want to marry his daughter to me? But when I think about it, this girl Ling'er is so clever and cunning, and she looks like a little bird.
I have that thought in my heart, but when I think about how soon I will return to the future world, I can’t help but feel a little discouraged.
At this, the white eyebrows looked at each other. Deng Bingtang was obviously determined to die when he said these words. In order not to worry him, Shao Yan could only reluctantly nodded and said casually, "I will try my best."
This was an ambiguous statement. It was as if it had not been said. Deng Bingtang smiled bitterly and thought to himself, love matters cannot be forced. Since Brother Shao refuses to marry Ling'er, why should I bring trouble to myself and deal with marriage?
In this matter, Deng Bingtang was not like other wealthy feudal families. He didn't care about the right match, the orders of his parents, or the words of the matchmaker. He felt that marriage was related to a person's lifelong happiness and should be decided by himself.
From this point of view, Deng Bingtang was a relatively enlightened father at the time.
Seeing Deng Bingtang sighing glumly to the sky, Shao Yan felt guilty. He had been looking forward to it and thought that the truth of the case was about to be revealed. Unexpectedly, in the end, the other party got the upper hand. This was completely beyond Shao Yan's expectation. He was too young.
I’ve seen Wang Boyan’s power.
Deng Bingtang said goodbye to Shao Yan and others with a hint of worry. As soon as he left, Shao Yan only heard Zhang Er Zhang San's voice coming from behind him, "Brother Yan, Brother Yan"
Seeing Zhang Er and Zhang San running over with sweat profusely, Shao Yan turned around and faced them. Zhang Er was out of breath and said: "Brother Yan, we have found you. It will be good to see that you are okay."
"Hey, why are you two here? Where are Lian'er and Miss Mingyue?"
Zhang San said angrily: "What are you talking about? Brother Yan, do you know? Miss Lian'er didn't sleep a wink last night."
"Miss Lian'er?" Yun Yun was stunned. He quietly whispered to her ear with white eyebrows and told her everything that happened recently. After hearing this, Yun Yun praised with joy: "In this way, Miss Lian'er is right to Tai--yes."
The young master is completely infatuated."
Yunyun was passionately devoted to the prince, but she knew that she was of low status and did not dare to climb high. No matter what decision the prince made or what kind of girl he liked, she would silently support him. After hearing what Bai Mei said, she liked him even more.
A brave and kind girl
Under the leadership of the Zhang brothers, Shao Yan and others quickly walked out of the rocky hills and came to the door of a thatched house. Shao Yan recognized this as Lian'er's home at a glance. Zhang San clasped his palms and shouted into the house, Lian'er.
He ran out of the house immediately
Seeing Shao Yan's safe return, the little girl's nose felt hot and tears of excitement flowed from the corners of her eyes. Shao Yan walked over and gently wiped her tears with his hands, pouted and said: "What a silly girl, look at my great body now, brother."
Very, it doesn’t look like anything is wrong? My eldest brother doesn’t like girls who cry. Be obedient and wipe your tears.”
Lian'er's face was slightly red, she quickly wiped away two tears, and invited everyone to come into the house to drink tea. This was the second time Shao Yan came here, but he could feel a very kind and warm feeling. Although the thatched house was small, it was filled with Lian'er's eyes.
She was kept very clean. This girl was born to be a good wife and mother.
Shao Yan was taking a sip of tea when Lian'er's mother, Cheng Yang, walked out of the back room with Mingyue's support. Back in Luanshigang, Shao Yan had heard Lian'er say that Cheng Yang gave birth to a baby half a month ago.
In order to treat her mother's illness, Lian'er spent all the family's money. Even the dozens of taels of silver left by Shao Yan and Zheng Yuegui when they left last time were all spent. These days, between Lian'er and Miss Mingyue,
Under the care of Cheng Yang, Mrs. Cheng Yang's condition improved slightly. She had just finished drinking the medicine and was about to lie down and rest when she suddenly heard Lian'er calling "big brother". Only then did she know that the savior had arrived. Although the old woman had difficulty moving, her ears were very weak.
That's good, let Mingyue help her out quickly
The moment Cheng Yang saw Shao Yan, she knelt down in tears and said, "My benefactor, please accept the old woman's respect."
Seeing Mrs. Cheng Yang giving such a big gift to him, Shao Yan couldn't bear it. He immediately put down the tea bowl, walked over and helped her up, "Auntie, you must not do this."
In the bright moon, Lian'er helped Mrs. Cheng Yang to sit down on a chair. Mrs. Cheng Yang was very happy when she saw so many guests coming to her home. Since her late husband passed away, her family has been very poor and most of her relatives have stopped interacting with her.
The house has not been as lively as it is today for a long time. The old woman accidentally turned her eyes to the four people in the southeast, northwest and northwest. She saw that they were holding scimitars in their hands and they all looked fierce. The old woman couldn't help but feel fear and hurriedly turned her face away.
The careful Yun Yun saw her concerns and made a gesture for the four of them to step back. The old woman was smiling, and Shao Yan introduced Bai Mei to her. Yun Yun, the old woman heard that these two people were Shao Yan.
Yan’s family couldn’t help but be overjoyed, and chatted with them about their daily routine.
While they were chatting enthusiastically, Shao Yan quietly called Lian'er outside alone. Lian'er was very surprised. This girl was very sensible and didn't ask questions when she knew she shouldn't.
"Lian'er, I want to ask you something"
"Brother, please tell me"
Shao Yan looked around and said softly: "This time Master Deng led his troops to attack Huanshi Gang and achieved nothing. Qin Shou and others disappeared without a trace. I always feel that it is impossible for them to survive in such a period of time."
Withdrawing from Luanshi Gang, do you know if there are other exits from Changfeng Village?"
"This -" A layer of deep wrinkles appeared between Lian'er and Liu's eyebrows. She had not been up the mountain for long and didn't know much about the terrain in the mountain. She also discovered the secret passage by accident last time. Apart from that, she really couldn't think of anything else.
