Chapter 43: The Robbery
Qin Lang'er rode forward without looking back.
The horses galloped fast, the wind whistled in their ears, and the horses' hooves made a crisp clatter on the stone pavement.
It's just that a horse that carries two people is not as fast as a horse that only carries one person, so Yan Wu quickly caught up and said sharply, "Who is the thief?" Don't put the prince down yet! ”
Yan Wu was about to chase him to his side, and at this time, he could faintly see Qin Lang'er's side face, with a full forehead, a high nose bridge, and a dark complexion, which was different from the people in Chang'an City.
Something seemed to flash in Yan Wu's mind, but before he could think about it, he heard a terrible shout from the side of the road.
"Lord Qingtian!"
Out of nowhere, a woman with a white cloth on her head suddenly rushed out with a group of strong men carrying coffins, stopped in front of Yan Wu, and instantly blocked the road solidly.
Yan Wu hurriedly pulled the reins, and the horse under him raised his front hooves high and let out a neighing sound of rapid stopping.
"Get out of the way!" Yan Wu shouted angrily, "King Wei was kidnapped by thieves, but you blocked the way at this time, is it a gang?" ”
The woman at the head didn't seem to understand, so she just wailed and cried, "My lord, the son of the folk woman died unjustly half a month ago, and he has not been buried so far, I beg the lord to make the decision for the folk woman!" ”
Yan Wu anxiously rode his horse back and forth, "You go to the Criminal Department to talk about this matter, now hurry up and get out of the way for me!" ”
But the woman seemed to have an iron heart, "My lord, the women have been to the yamen many times, and they have not been driven out immediately. If you refuse to avenge the grievances of the people today, the women would rather die in front of your eyes right now! ”
The woman's eyes were bloodshot, her expression was desperate and haggard, and she stood up and was about to crash into the coffin.
"Who's making a fuss here?" Another voice sounded behind him at the right time.
Suddenly, a group of soldiers rushed forward, grabbed the woman, and surrounded all the people present.
Wang Yi swaggered through the encirclement of the soldiers, Shi Shiran walked in, looked around, and sneered slightly, "Is Lord Yan forcing the people to commit suicide?" ”
It's a disaster.
Yan Wu secretly complained in his heart, and hurriedly explained what had happened.
Wang Yi was also shocked when he heard this, "What? How could such a thing happen?! ”
Turning his head, he instructed his subordinates, "You should immediately go and seal the Wei Wang's Mansion now, search carefully inside and out, and don't let go of any suspicious person." ”
pointed to a few other people, "You guys, follow me to chase King Wei!" ”
Anyway, the horse has to go.
Yan Wu hurriedly stopped him, "Lord Wang, that thief is hiding on the side of the road, what are you doing to seal the Wei Palace?" ”
Wang Yi was confident, "He was ambushed on the side of the road on the way back to the mansion of King Wei, and there may be a fellow party ambushed in the mansion, so dangerous, how can he not investigate?" ”
Yan Wu was blocked and had nothing to say, so he had to retreat and beg for the next word, "Then I will go with you to search for King Wei." ”
Wang Yi hurriedly waved his hand, "Don't bother Lord Yan, I think it's better for your adult to continue to stay here to try the case, so as not to make a real fuss and not be able to end it." ”
"But ......"
"Don't worry, my lord, I will report today's matter to Your Majesty truthfully, and I believe that he will never blame you for today's righteous deeds."
After that, no longer caring about what Yan Wu had to say, a group of soldiers divided into two ways, just like when they came, and soon left in a hurry.
"Old man......" When the soldiers were gone, the woman kneeling on the ground called out to him weakly.
Yan Wu glared at her, gritted his teeth and said, "Let's go, isn't there a grievance?" Then follow me to the Criminal Department to apply for injustice! ”
……
……
Li Kai was placed across the horse's back like an object, and all he could see was the alternation of the horse's hooves and the changing ground under his feet.
I don't know how long it was, but when he had completely dried his tears and realized in despair that no one would come to save him again, the horse finally stopped.
Qin Lang'er carried him on his shoulders and turned around and entered a courtyard.
This is the house that Li Ronghe bought near Qujiang Pond before.
Li Kai felt that someone was lightly placed on the chair, raised his head, and met those amber eyes.
"Who are you?" Li Kai looked at him in horror.
Qin Lang'er didn't answer his question, but said, "It's safe here." ”
Safe? Li Kai was confused.
Does this person have some misunderstanding of the word security?
He looked at Qin Lang'er vigilantly, "What are you going to do to me?" ”
Qin Lang'er didn't like to talk in the first place, but at this time, she felt that it was troublesome to explain, so she simply didn't answer, but reached into her arms and took out a knife.
Li Kaiden was so frightened that he screamed and fell to the ground, "No, no, I, I'm not going to ask, don't kill me, big brother!" ”
But he didn't think that Qin Lang'er just cut the rope that bound his hands and feet for him.
Li Kai rubbed his reddened wrist, stunned, and didn't know what the purpose of this person's move was.
Qin Lang'er also sat down at this time, and finally explained, "Someone wants to kill you." ”
Li Kai glared at him and didn't speak, but his eyes turned a little red.
After enduring it for a long time, I finally couldn't help but cry loudly, crying and yelling, "Someone wants to kill me, don't you know about me?" Aren't you here to kill me? I don't understand, why do all my relatives want to kill me?! Even my father wants to kill me! ”
Qin Lang'er listened to Li Kai crying, and couldn't help tilting his head to look at him, with a sense of exploration in his eyes.
He's grown so big, he's never seen a man who loves to cry so much.
Li Kai felt embarrassed under his direct gaze, and said fiercely, "Look at it!" ”
A smile appeared on the corner of Qin Lang'er's mouth, and she got up and turned her head to go out.
Li Kai still had tears in the corners of his eyes, and when he saw him leave suddenly, he was a little stunned and didn't know what to do.
This is...... Want to let yourself go?
Li Kai stood up and paced back and forth in the room, thinking about whether to run or not to run.
What if that guy waits outside and kills himself?
But if you don't run, won't that guy kill himself?
Li Kai was entangled for a while, and before he could think of a result, Qin Lang'er had already returned.
Holding a brown paper bag in his hand, he handed it to Li Kai.
Li Kai sniffed...... Seemingly, a little fragrant?
He took it and opened it, only to see two buns lying there quietly.
Li Kai looked up at Qin Lang'er, "You want to poison me?" ”
“……”
Qin Lang'er didn't speak, and walked to the chair and sat down.
Li Kai looked unwilling, "Who sent you to harm me?" ”
“……”
"How much money did he give you? I'm out three times...... No, five times! Is it okay to do five? ”
“……”
"Big brother, you can do it." Li Kai saw that Qin Lang'er was silent all the time, and became more and more convinced of the fact that the bun was poisonous, so he simply knelt down and begged bitterly at his feet, "I just reached the weak crown this year, and I haven't married a wife yet, I don't want to die." ”
“……”
Qin Lang'er finally glanced at him, helplessly reached out and picked up one of the buns, took a bite, and handed it back to him, "It's not poisonous." ”
Li Kai blinked his eyes, "Have you taken the antidote in advance?" ”
This time, Qin Lang'er was completely speechless, and simply rudely opened his mouth and stuffed the bun in.
The two steamed buns didn't know the taste, and after eating, Li Kai sat on the ground, leaning against the corner of the table, empty eyes and silently crying.
It's over, and he's going to die.
His young life was coming to an end.
His tears flowed into the evening.
In the middle of this, Qin Lang'er went in and out several times, and in the evening, he brought back a roast chicken, two oil cakes, and a few pieces of brown sugar glutinous rice cakes, and put them on the table together.
"Eat." Qin Lang'er was concise and to the point.
“……?”
Li Kai, who had been sitting on his knees all afternoon under the table, touched his body.
It's still hot.
"You're really not trying to kill me?"
"It's not."
Li Kai pursed his mouth, temporarily accepted the fact that Qin Lang'er didn't want to poison himself, rubbed his swollen eyes, and then got up from the ground and sat back in the chair.
