Chapter 36: Released from Prison
Although Chen Yichen is a little dull, several years of hunting experience has allowed him to develop a good ear, and the recognition of voice is his only advantage. Xiao Mingxu's voice was indeed different from the people in the Mocheng Inn.
Xiao Mingxu once saved his life, but when he first heard him speak, he didn't feel that the voice was familiar, and he didn't think that he was the third prince. Now this is the second time I have heard his voice, and when you compare it carefully, there is a big difference between the two.
Even if the tone and pitch can be changed, the essence of the voice cannot be changed. The voice heard in the inn was slightly hoarse, but the voice heard in front of me was extremely clear. They are not alone, and the three princes they heard in the Mocheng Inn are not the people in front of them.
Chen Yichen was at a loss, and kept recalling the voices in the inn in his head, and the more he compared, the greater the difference. Muttered to himself: "Impossible, impossible, how can this be." ”
raised his head violently, his eyes were fixed on Xiao Mingxu's face, and said, "You are not Xiao Mingxu, who are you, why are you pretending to be Xiao Mingxu." ”
"Presumptuous. Wang Liang stepped forward and said angrily: "Is the name of King Luoping called around at will, boldly Chen Chen, you can be guilty." ”
"Huh. Xiao Mingxu sneered, waved his hand at Wang Liang, and smiled slowly: "I am me, why do you have to pretend." ”
"Chen Yichen, in front of you is the fake King Luoping, and this official can use the head of Xiang Shang as a guarantee. How could Wang Liang not know that he had already started an investigation a month ago.
"How could it be, how could it be. Chen Yichen retreated again and again, and his head was a mess of porridge.
Xiao Mingxu, who has gone through a lot of hard work, is not the person he is really looking for. The only hope in his heart was completely turned to ashes, and he didn't even know who was behind the murder of Wan'er.
Despair, guilt, and loss are like a mess in the chest. I only felt dull in my chest, and my blood was rolling. There was a parchment in his throat, a "wow", and a mouthful of blood spat out.
"Quickly pass on to the Imperial Doctor. Xiao Mingxu took a step forward, frowned and stared at Chen Yichen, and said, "How are you?"
"This is Jingzhao Mansion, how can there be an imperial doctor. Liu An gloated and said: "He's fine, but he's in a hurry." ”
"You little guy, why don't you go and invite Langzhong. Xiao Mingxu was slightly angry and glared at Liu An coldly.
"If you want me to say, this is retribution. Liu An said unconvinced: "I shouldn't have saved him at that time, but now it's okay, save him to frame His Royal Highness, and let His Majesty ......."
"Shut up. Xiao Mingxu glared at Liu An.
Liu An was unconvinced, but he didn't dare to collide, glanced at Chen Yichen, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll invite Langzhong for him." ”
"Lord Wang, what are you going to do with this person? Xiao Mingxu softened his tone, and naturally knew that Wang Liang had no right to interfere in how he dealt with him.
"It has now been confirmed that Chen Yichen is really framing King Luoping. falsely accusing the prince of rebellion, and he should be beheaded according to the law. When Wang Liang said this, he changed his words and continued: "But when it comes to providing important military information for the Mocheng garrison Teng Zhe, Jingzhao Mansion also confirms that it is correct. Chen Yichen really contributed to the community, and he could deal with it as appropriate, but he could spare his life and be assigned to the frontier as hard labor. ”
"He's so thin, I'm afraid he'll die on the road before he reaches the frontier. Xiao Mingxu turned his head to look at Chen Yichen and said slowly: "What if this king is not guilty of his false accusations in the past." ”
"If King Luoping does not investigate his false accusations, then Chen Yichen will be innocent, and even credit to the community, and should be rewarded. "Wang Liang is such a smart person, he not only gave Xiao Mingxu enough face, but also did not violate the will of the Emperor of the Background at all.
"Let the people go. ”
"Wow. Wang Liang waved his hand to the jailer and said, "Open the prison door." ”
Xiao Mingxu turned to leave, and after taking a few steps, he said, "If you think this matter is related to me and still want to kill me, you don't need to bother so much, you can come to Luo Pingyuan to find me." ”
Xiao Mingxu's figure disappeared in front of him, and the past in Chen Yichen's heart continued to surge, from the moment he walked out of Lingxi Mountain, his life was like a kite with a broken string. How to get there, where to go, completely exceeded their expectations. The beloved woman was even more tragically killed, and she didn't even know who the real murderer was, and if she wanted to keep it, how could she take revenge.
Hatred, which occupied his heart, anger, made him see the injustice of this world.
"Ahh
A long howl resounded through the sky, and Qingjian's exposed fist slammed into the ground. The bluestone ground was smashed into a pit by a fist. Even Chen Yichen didn't see it, and the broken bluestone flashed a chill, and it disappeared in a blink of an eye.
Xiao Mingxu, who had just walked out of the prison, suddenly stopped, slowly looked back at the cell door, sighed lightly, and turned to leave.
After Wang Liang sent Xiao Mingxu away, he returned to the prison, looked at the broken ground with cold eyes, and said slowly, "You can go." ”
Where to go? Chen Yichen didn't know, let alone where to go. I was forced to come to Kyoto, and now Juan'er has left her. Go home, ridiculous, how to face them. Leaving this world, he didn't seek justice for Wan'er, but there was too much unwillingness in his heart. Revenge, who the enemy is, he doesn't know how to take revenge.
Revenge. Right. Can't let Wan'er die so unclear. Revenge, revenge. Since you can't find the so-called three princes, let's go to Wang Zhiyi and find the Iron Blood Gate. At least there are two of those people who have seen it, even if they are at the ends of the world, they must be found to avenge Wan'er.
Thinking of this, Chen Yichen stood up from the ground and raised his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth.
"Wait. Wang Liang suddenly opened his mouth and said, "Where are you going?" ”
Chen Yichen stood in front of the prison door and said without looking back: "Revenge"
"Who to get revenge on?"
"What does this have to do with you. ”
"You and I have different positions, but we are looking for the same person. Wang Liang slowly walked up to the young man and said, "If you want to kill the enemy, I will rebel in the Qing Dynasty." ”
"So what. ”
"It's easier said than done on your own. The Jingzhao Prefecture Intelligence Network involves various places, so it is better for us to cooperate. ”
Although Wang Liang knew that Xiao Mingxu was framed, the mastermind behind the scenes was too cunning, and except for a few names, no clues were left. In the face of these sporadic clues, it is difficult to find out the mastermind behind the scenes. Jingzhao Mansion can't go out for this thing.
How could Wang Liang not know that the young man in front of him was the only one who participated in the whole process. He has seen people, and he knows the voice, so he naturally knows more than himself. The most important point is that Chen Yichen wants to find the mastermind behind the scenes more than anyone else and punish him.
"How to cooperate. ”
"Jingzhao Mansion's intelligence network is at your disposal, but there is one thing, he will find the mastermind behind the scenes, and he must hand it over to Jingzhao Mansion for interrogation. ”
"I'm going to kill him with my own hands. Chen Yichen's eyes showed a chill.
"Of course you can kill him, but after the interrogation, the person is at your disposal. "For Wang Liang, the most important thing is the information in his mouth, and as for how he died in the end and who killed him, he didn't care at all.
"It's a deal. ”
"Good. Wang Liang took a step forward, stood opposite him, took out a token and a silver ticket from his arms, and said, "This is the pass order of Jingzhao Mansion, you can take it with you, you can check it at any information point in Jingzhao Mansion." As for this silver ticket, King Luoping gave it to you. ”
Chen Yichen took the token and glanced at the silver ticket, one hundred taels of gold. Said slowly: "Why did he give it to me." ”
Seeing that Chen Yichen did not take the silver ticket, Wang Liang sneered, lightly inserted the silver ticket on the placket of his chest, and said: "There are two reasons: First, you have contributed to the society and should be rewarded." Second, he wants to know more than we do who is behind the scenes. ”
"Can I go. ”
"Of course. Wang Liang dodged and made way for a way.
"My lord, let him leave like this, no one in Jingzhao Mansion has ever been able to leave alive. ”
"This is Your Majesty's will, and I am just pushing the boat with the current. ”
"Whether you want to send someone to follow it. ”
"Stalking, of course. A sneer flashed at the corner of Wang Liang's mouth, and he said, "I have sent ten seventh-order masters to wait outside the mansion and protect them secretly. ”
"Protect him. My lord, why is that?"
"If you can guess, the place of this mansion will be given to you a long time ago. ”
Outside Jingzhao Mansion.
The cold wind is howling in the north, and the frost and snow are floating in the face. The ruts that Xiao Mingxu left became more and more blurred, and Chen Yichen stood in the middle of the two ruts in a daze, as if watching him go away. Everyone has a home, and Chen Yichen at this moment is like a drop in the ocean, floating alone between the vast world and the world, and no one cares.
"It's a rare fate. ”
Hearing this, Chen Yichen was stunned in his heart. It's like being touched by something, the deepest string in my heart. Blinked deeply and turned slowly.
"Hehe, go and drink with the old man Hanako. The old man gently raised the food box in his hand and shook it in front of Chen Yichen.
"Why are you here?" Looking at the old man in front of him, Chen Yichen couldn't help but be a little surprised.
"Count you kid going far, I always called Hanako, I happened to pass by. The old man lazily shrunk his neck and patted the snow on his shoulder with his hand.
"Okay, the senior will go back and wait for me, and the junior will arrive later. Chen Yichen raised his arms and bowed deeply.
Seeing him go away, Chen Yichen looked along the traces he left behind. On one side of the entrance to Jingzhao Mansion, the snow was trampled out of a pit. There was a sigh in my heart, and I smiled bitterly on my face.
After saying goodbye, the two left in opposite directions. Chen Yichen's head carefully recalled everything he overheard at the Mocheng Inn, recalled the appearance of those people, and recalled the dialogue between the killers of Cuilingyi.
All this seems to be a coincidence, but when you taste it carefully, it has a different taste. At the time of Mocheng, the people who came and went to the inn were all masters of flying eaves and walls, and the killers sent by Cuiling Post could not be idle.
Now that everything is running through, Chen Yichen finally understands. The killers of Cuilingyi are not trying to kill themselves at all, their purpose is very simple, that is, they are deliberately exposing themselves and framing Xiao Mingxu nakedly.
It can be inferred from this that the so-called conspiracy of the Mocheng Inn is simply a conspiracy. Chen Yichen vaguely remembered that he was standing in front of the window at that time, and the window was wide open. Yan Guo's secret agents flew by in front of their eyes, and it was impossible for them not to find themselves. Could it be that they deliberately led people to eavesdrop, knowing that someone was eavesdropping or reporting their identities, how can there be such fools in the world?
It's horrible, they're acting for me. Thinking of this, Chen Yichen broke out in a cold sweat. On second thought, it doesn't seem realistic. Even if it is acting, where do the spies in the city come from, and where do the enemy troops outside the city come from? Mocheng was indeed attacked by the Yan army.
But one thing is for sure, he has inadvertently become a pawn, a pawn at the mercy of others. And the layout person framed Xiao Mingxu in order to design, and he actually started planning in Mocheng. Let yourself hear the news, let yourself go to the General's Mansion to inform, and then kill the secret agent.
And the other party seems to know that Fuji Tetsu, the garrison general of Mocheng, will definitely send the news back to Kyoto. At the same time, someone sent me to Kyoto as a witness. Framing Xiao Mingxu, these things are enough. Why was the Yan army involved in the sneak attack on Mocheng? Why was there still the Cuilingyi assassination incident?
What kind of person is laying out? His purpose is definitely not as simple as framing Xiao Mingxu, it is definitely a shocking conspiracy.
