Chapter Seventy-Five: Searching

Xu Lan kept thinking about what she could do after learning the details from Chen Chong along the way. How can she help? Maybe Chen Chong didn't know the details. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info Xu Lan thought all the way, but when she arrived at the concierge of Chen's mansion, she said that Chen Chong was sick and couldn't see guests.

How can it be so coincidental?!

Does Lord Chen have to retreat from this matter?

Xu Lan had no choice but to turn back home first, and then wrote a letter for Steward Zhao to hand it over to Chen's Mansion to try, but Chen Chong couldn't come out, and he didn't know if the letter could be delivered to him.

Xu Lan thought that Lin Rusong's reply should be coming in the next two days, but she didn't know if she could bring useful news.

Steward Zhao came back from delivering the letter and brought new news to Xu Lan.

The corpse outside Cheng Ge's old mansion has already been collected, and it is said that it is the current Ministry of Rites Shangshu Xu Qian, the person sent by Lord Xu. Xu Lan remembered this name, and affection and righteousness were her impressions of him.

Xu Lan remembered that the men in the Cheng Mansion were all exiled to the army.

"When will Cheng Fu be exiled and the army will leave?"

"I'm going to leave immediately, and I should have left Huaiyang County by now." Zhao said.

Move so fast! There is little respite.

Xu Lan immediately stood up, "I'll send them off!" ”

The steps that came out stopped again.

"I'll go talk to my father." Talking about often going to the study.

Xu Lan and Xu Yiliang said that the body was taken away by a Master Xu, Xu Yiliang did not show a surprised expression, it seems that Xu Yiliang has learned the news.

"Lord Xu is famous, and when he was in Huangzhou, he used the power of one person to quell the local mining chaos and settle countless unjust cases. Even we, the common people, have heard of his name. Xu Yiliang said admiringly.

It seems that this Lord Xu Qian is also a powerful figure, but can't he stop such a thing from happening?

Xu Lan felt that there was darkness behind this matter, and things must be far more complicated than she thought.

Anyway, she was good friends with Cheng Yan and Cheng Min before, she was just a flat-headed commoner, she didn't know or understand this court, but she couldn't forget this friendship.

"Father, I want to give it a ride, after all, Cheng Yan and Cheng Min knew me well before." Xu Landao.

Xu Yiliang knew that she was talking about Cheng Ge's grandson, and Xu Yiliang hesitated.

"I'm just a friend, and if I can't get closer, I'll look at them from afar, okay?" Xu Lan pleaded with red eyes.

Xu Lan saw that Xu Yiliang nodded heavily, so she hurriedly went to find Shunzi and rode out of the city gate.

After going out of the city gate, I chased them for a long time before I saw them from afar. When the group walked on the official road, they had already taken off their brocade clothes and clothes, only wearing plain prison uniforms, and their hands were tied to a rope, and they were escorted by a team of officers and soldiers with knives.

Xu Lan took Shunzi to ride a horse and rushed up, there were already officers and soldiers who pulled out Sensen's knife and warned them not to approach, let them take a detour, Xu Lan handed over the purse to the tolerance, the other party checked his hand, too little, Shunzi took out the purse on his body, Xu Lan glanced at Shunzi gratefully, and saw that he had no valuable jewelry on his body, so he could only give him Shunzi's Jose and say good things. The tolerance then pointed to the side of the road in the distance and let them take a look at the side.

Xu Lan and Shunzi changed their horses and rode to the side of the road, and the two stood there quietly waiting for them to pass by.

Xu Lan and Shunzi looked for Cheng Yan and Cheng Min in the crowd, because everyone was wearing clothes of the same color, which was difficult to identify. When they got closer, they saw them clearly, Cheng Ge was sitting in a dilapidated carriage, because of his advanced age, his beard and hair were all white, and he still looked very calm, and he didn't stop much when he saw them. The others were walking behind, and Xu Lan found Cheng Yan and Cheng Min, and the two were tied together. Cheng Yan and Cheng Min also saw Xu Lan and Shunzi, Xu Lan had tears in her eyes, blurred her eyes, and wiped them off with her sleeves, as if she saw Cheng Yan and Cheng Min smiling at her sadly.

Xu Lan doesn't know if the men of the Cheng family know that the female relatives in the family have committed suicide by taking poison, it seems that they don't know yet, if they do, they don't know how to be grief-stricken! Xu Lan watched them walk over slowly, Xu Lan stood there, didn't move her body for a long time, the rules of this world are too terrible, and the whole family is connected!

Junzi looked at Xu Lan with some concern, and Xu Lan moved her body for a long time before she felt that the whole person was stiff.

Xu Lan didn't know how she got home, she couldn't figure it out when she was lying in bed, how could she say that it was gone?

Early the next morning, Xu Lan rode a horse to Tsinghua Temple.

Xu Lan went to the office area first, but Bingde was not there. Xu Lan went to the side hall, Bingde did the morning class, and when she saw Xu Lan coming so early, she looked worried.

As soon as Xu Lan saw Bingde, she pounced and hugged him.

Bingde was taken aback.

"Xu Song, what's wrong with you?"

"Senior brother, I feel uncomfortable."

Bingde quietly let her hold it, and Xu Lan let go after a long while, looking at Bingde's handsome face a little embarrassed.

"Senior brother, do you know about Cheng Ge Lao?"

Bingde nodded.

"Do you know why?" Xu Lan asked a little eagerly.

Bingde shook his head and said softly: "The matter of the court, the clouds are weird. ”

Bingde made a cup of tea for Xu Lan without hurry.

Xu Lan looked at Bingde's cool and jade-like temperament, and her heart gradually calmed down.

"Cheng Ergongzi, Cheng Yan, and Cheng Min are all friends with me, although they don't come and go frequently, but we are also gentlemen's friends, I see that they have reached such a miserable state, and my heart is really sad and unbearable." Xu Lan was sad in her heart.

"From love to sorrow, from love to fear. If you are separated from love and hate, you will not be afraid of worry. Bingde sighed.

"Senior brother, I haven't reached this realm yet."

"I, neither"

"Senior brother, I don't know if Cheng Ge is always loyal or traitorous, but Cheng Yan and Cheng Min are just his grandsons, and there are children who are only seven or eight years old, what did they do wrong? There are also the female dependents of the Cheng Mansion, all of whom committed suicide by taking poison and forcing them to become official prostitutes, isn't it equivalent to forcing them to die? ”

"What kind of law is this, completely inhumane."

"Where this was born is not something you can choose!" Xu Lan said indignantly, completely unaware of how perverse her words were.

Bingde didn't show anything wrong, just quietly listened to her whining.

Xu Lan poured words for a long time, drank two cups of tea in a row, and Bingde didn't say a word, because he found that Xu Lan just wanted to find someone to talk to, although his words were shocking, but wasn't this Xu Song.

"Senior Brother Bingde, what should I do?"

"Adapt to your own circumstances, and your troubles will go away"

"Let it be?!"

"The water is flattened, and each flows east, west, north and south. Life also has a life, and An can sigh and sit sad"

Xu Lan came out of the last sentence that Qinghua Temple had been thinking about Bingde, and wanted to find an answer for herself.

When she got home, Xu Lan stayed in the room and didn't go out. (To be continued.) )
