Fifty nights asked
Led by the jailer, everyone walked towards the cell where Yuan Baohu was being held.
Coincidentally, Yuan Baohu's cell happened to pass by the cell where Yuan Kong was held, but this cell was already empty.
Lin He's eyes flickered, deliberately fell behind everyone, pulled a jailer over and asked, "Have the prisoners in this cell already gone out?" ”
The jailer tilted his head and looked at it, nodded and said, "My lord is talking about Uncle Yuankong, how many days has Uncle Yuan been out." ”
Lin He touched his chin and asked again, "What crime did he commit and was locked up here?" ”
The jailer smiled and said, "If he is really a strange man, he has not committed any crimes, he himself begged the little ones to come in." ”
"What? How can this be? "It's the first time Lin He has heard of someone begging to go to prison.
"How dare the little ones agree, this prison is a place where you can enter if you want to, and you can't enter if you don't want to." The jailer continued.
But he said that if he was not locked up, he would steal a hundred taels of silver from a rich man's house every night in this Qiantang County. The little ones thought he was just joking, but they didn't know that the next day the rich man's house on West Street had really stolen a hundred taels of silver. ”
After a while, he went to the door of the prison again to find the little ones and locked him up, but the little ones thought it was a coincidence and drove him away. Unexpectedly, Boss Hu's house in the silk shop on South Street was also stolen one hundred taels of silver that night. It is said that the gods have appeared in the past two days, and many poor families have silver falling from the sky at night. ”
"On the third day, he came to look for the little ones again, and the little ones locked him up in disbelief, hey, there really wasn't any more crime."
"To be honest, it's the first time the villain has seen such a strange thing." The jailer touched his head and smiled.
Lin He smiled in his heart: "This old man is really good at playing." ”
"Chang Gung, what's wrong?" Yu Huawen watched Lin He pull a jailer and talk for a long time, and couldn't help asking.
"It's alright, my lord, to inquire about the whereabouts of an old friend from a previous prison."
Everyone came to Yuan Baohu's cell. The jailer opened the door and stood guard.
At this time, Yuan Baohu was lying on his side on the floor, with his back to the cell door, and seemed to be asleep.
Hearing the sound of unlocking, Yuan Baohu sat up suddenly, and then saw Yu Huawen and others.
"Are you here to let me out?" Yuan Baohu's face was overjoyed, and he hurriedly stood up.
Ying Lan stepped forward, looked him up and down with a pair of eyes like cutting autumn water, and suddenly smiled and said, "Yuan Baohu, I think this outfit is quite suitable for you!" ”
Yuan Baohu saw that Ying Lan didn't forget to tease herself at this time, and his heart was itching, but he didn't dare to attack, he just didn't match her words with a cold face.
Qin Hanyu Xing's eyes widened, looked at Yuan Baohu, and asked mercilessly, "Senior brother, how did you promise your father before we came?" I think you've forgotten it all, how can you do something extraneous?! ”
"Senior sister...... I...... Aren't I also here to finish my errands quickly? Yuan Baohu said with a snort.
"Humph! I think you're jealous! Now you can make Mingtang have a long face. Qin Hanyu said coldly.
"Senior sister, I didn't expect this to be the case! It's all this treacherous and cunning Shen Qinglong, who uses some tricks to calculate me. When I go out, I must kill him with my own hands!" Yuan Baohu looked resentful.
"You're not messy enough!" Qin Hanyu glared at him and said no more.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Yu Huawen stood up and diverted the topic: "Lord Yuan, come over today, I have something to ask." ”
"Lord Yu, please speak." Yuan Baohu looked at Yu Huawen gratefully, and above the court today, he understood that Yu Huawen believed in himself.
"Lord Yuan, why did you break into the Shen Mansion last night, and why were you arrested?" Yu Huawen was also polite and went straight to the point.
Yuan Baohu was silent for a while, and then straightened the messy hair on his head, looking extremely annoyed.
"Yesterday, after I heard what you said, I secretly remembered it in my heart, I thought, this Qinglou woman should know a lot of Shen Qinglong's secrets, so I decided to go to the Shen Mansion to investigate, maybe I can get some useful information."
Everyone looked at him, and they had nothing to say about Yuan Baohu's brain circuit.
"I broke into the Shen Mansion at night, inquired about Mu Qing's residence, and quietly sneaked into her room."
Speaking of this, Yuan Baohu paused, and said with some doubts: "Who knew that this Mu Qing was not on the bed at all, and what was covered in the quilt was just a big pillow!" I knew about the plan at that time, but it was too late, and Shen Qinglong had already sent people to surround the room. ”
"Originally, with my martial arts, even if I was successful, it would not be difficult to escape. But this Shen Qinglong is really insidious, and he actually lit incense in the room in advance! Yuan Baohu clenched his fists, looking furious.
"You mean, Shen Qinglong has been prepared?" Yu Huawen frowned and asked with some surprise.
Yuan Baohu nodded, "I was a little confused at the time, I remember that he seemed to say, after lying in ambush for so long, it was finally not in vain." ”
Yu Huawen and Lin He glanced at each other, Lin He's sword eyebrows were upside down, and he said, "My lord, it is likely that Yu Huawen sent someone to redeem Mu Qing and started the layout." ”
"That's how it should be." Yu Huawen nodded, and then motioned for Yuan Baohu to continue.
Yuan Baohu sighed and said, "After I woke up, I was tied to a chair, I told Shen Qinglong at the time that I was a child of the Yuan family, Shen Qinglong left without a sound, and never came back. You all know what happened next. ”
Lin He walked up to Yu Huawen and arched his hand: "My lord, it seems that this Shen Qinglong is taking the opportunity to suppress Mingtang and put pressure on the government, so as to divert our attention." Once Lord Yuan is convicted, the people of Mingtang will definitely withdraw to Jiankang, and by then, Shen Qinglong has already erased all the doubts in Qian Dahong's case, and this case will be unsustainable, and it may eventually become an unsolved case. ”
"So far, it seems." Yu Huawen's brows were still furrowed, and he nodded solemnly.
Yuan Baohu raised his head and looked at the two of them in surprise, "Why are we leaving?" ”
"Stupid!" Ying Lanqiong's nose furrowed, she glanced at him with disdain, and said, "You have been convicted of breaking into a private house and raping a woman at night, can Qin Shouzuo still make you embarrassed here?" ”
Qin Hanyu glared at him and scolded angrily: "It is because of your recklessness that everyone has fallen into a passive situation. This is not Jiankang, there is no Mingtang and the Yuan family to help you deal with the aftermath. You can imagine how Mingtang would behave in the court if you were convicted? How to face the emperor? How to block the mouths of the world? Also, you are the second son of the Yuan family, and your every move represents the face of the Yuan family, and you should know better than me what your father will do with you when the time comes! ”
Qin Hanyu was so angry that he didn't even bother to call his senior brother, and he didn't show any mercy.
Yuan Baohu's face was so shocked that his face was like earth, and he was in a cold sweat, only then did he realize the seriousness of the matter, he looked at Qin Hanyu in a panic, and said urgently: "Senior sister, you must think of something to help me!" ”
"Humph!" Qin Hanyu didn't bother to pay attention to him, snorted coldly, and stopped talking.
"Ladies and gentlemen!" Yuan Baohu wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and hurriedly bowed his hand.
Everyone looked at each other and didn't squeak.
After a pause, Yu Huawen felt bad, and comforted him and said, "Lord Yuan, don't panic, we will definitely come up with a way." ”
"It's up to you!" When it comes to his vital interests, Yuan Baohu doesn't dare to be willful, and bows to everyone to the end.
……
Everyone walked out of the cell and was silent.
After a long time, Lin He stopped and said to Yu Huawen: "My lord, now that all the evidence is in Shen Qinglong's hands, if you want to clear Yuan Qinghu's guilt, it is best to start with Mu Qing." ”
"However, now this Mu Qing must be closely protected by Shen Qinglong, if we want to start from here, it will be difficult to climb to the sky."
"Ugh." Yu Huawen sighed softly.
