Chapter Twenty-Nine: Keeping People Under the Knife (I)
Bei Ran asked Mo Ran to stay, and he tried to find a way to rescue Lianxin's father and mother.
Shu Yao remembered Nangong Tilting's injured appearance, couldn't suppress her emotions, and cried very sadly.
Mo Ran won't coax people, now that Shu Yao is crying so sadly, he can only wipe the tears from her face.
Since Nangong poured out of the prison, the lotus heart has never appeared again, as if the world has evaporated.
Bei Ran asked Wu Xi to send someone to find Lotus Heart, and be sure to find Lotus Heart within tomorrow.
Since Nangong was imprisoned, Lianxin has been hiding in her home. Because there, there are good memories of her and her parents.
At home, she wasn't the killer she had been raised for two years. She's just a lotus heart, she only makes a lotus heart.
I'm doing what I used to do with my dad and mom over and over again.
When I'm fine, I sweep the leaves at the door and wipe the table.
Her family lives in a thatched hut in a small bamboo forest. There are bamboo trees all around, and as soon as you go out, you can see a patch of green. And that kind of green is very comfortable and warm.
Lianxin's father and mother don't have much money, but they do all their best to give Lianxin the best.
The people sent out by Wu Xi quickly found where Lianxin was. After finding it, he kept an eye on the lotus heart. Lianxin didn't notice it.
"Now that Lianxin has found it, I sent to find Lianxin's father and mother, and asked Lianxin to admit that she killed Fu Taiqing." Beiran said.
"Since Nangong said that Lianxin's father and mother are in a secret place in the backyard of Mianwan Palace, how about it, you can always find it. Do you have any plans for now? Mo Ran asked.
Bei Ran was silent for a while and said, "I don't have any plans, just go to the backyard of Mianwan Hall to find it in the middle of the night." Mianwan Hall is guarded, but I don't know if the guard is strict. ”
"I'm going to explore tonight, there are only two days left, and there is no time."
Beiran nodded.
"Just the two of us." Mo Ran said.
Bei Ran also agreed.
In the middle of the night, Bei Ran and Mo Ran wore black to cover their noses and explore the Mianwan Palace at night.
The journey was smooth and there weren't too many guards patrolling. But when I got to the backyard, there were a lot of guards patrolling.
Those guards don't look like the other guards, and they feel like they're better at fighting than the others.
The way of backyard patrol is very different from other places, the distribution of backyard patrol is all guard patrols, but there is only one place where there are no guards patrolling, and that is the backyard garden.
There are so many guards patrolling the entire Mianwan Palace, but the garden in the backyard is not guarded by guards, which is too obvious.
Since only the garden in the backyard is not patrolled by guards, it must be there. The more dangerous the better.
If you don't look closely, you'll think it's a place with a lot of guards.
Bei Ran pointed to the garden in the backyard, and Mo Ran looked in the direction that Bei Ran pointed to, it was the garden in the backyard. Mo Ran nodded, and the two of them carefully crossed the guard.
The two of them went up to the roof with light work and walked from the roof. Walking from the rooftop, it is not so easy to spot.
Coupled with the blessing of light work, they soon arrived near the garden. They looked on the roof to see if there were any houses in the garden, caves or anything like that.
Because it's dark, it's not good-looking, so you have to watch it slowly.
Mo Ran saw that there were guards guarding a very dark place, so he patted Beiran on the shoulder and pointed to that place with his finger.
Bei Ran followed the direction pointed by Mo Ran, looked carefully, and also saw that there were guards guarding him.
They thought to themselves: Is there no one to guard the garden in the backyard, and the original guard is there?
The two looked at each other, nodded, and came down from the roof.
They looked left and right, slowly approaching.
There were only four guards guarding the door, and Mo Ran smiled secretly, then stepped forward, took out a handful of smoke from nowhere, sprinkled it on their faces, and fell down in an instant.
Regarding Mo Ran's move, Bei Ran also expected it.
After those guards fainted, Mo Ran went in directly, Bei Ran still looked around, no one found it, and then went in.
After Mo Ran entered, he saw a couple locked up.
Mo Ran didn't bring any swords or anything like that, he could only look around to see what was around to pry the lock open.
Not only was the couple locked up in a huge iron cage, but they were also tied separately, and they were gagged.
When they saw Bei Ran and Mo Ran, their eyes were full of fear.
After Bei Ran entered, he saw that Mo Ran had been looking around for something, and knew that he definitely didn't bring a knife.
Bei Ran took out a knife from his waist and stepped forward to pry the lock open.
Mo Ran saw Bei Ran pry the lock open, and entered the cage with Bei Ran.
Bei Ran and Mo Ran untied them separately and asked, "You are Lianxin's father, right?" ”
The couple nodded in confusion.
"Don't be afraid, we are here to save you."
One by one, they took them away.
Anyway, I didn't know where to put them, so I simply took them back to the Beiwang Mansion to settle down.
Bei Ran and Mo Ran placed them in the palace and ordered Wu Xi to send people to watch over them.
"Where's Lotus Heart?" Lianxin's mother asked.
"She's in your home."
"How is she?" Her mother asked with tears in her eyes.
Bei Ran didn't know how to reply to her, so she could only say, "Lianxin is for the safety of the two of you, and the other person will have to pay for it." ”
The second elder also guessed that it would be like this, "Thank you for saving us." ”
"The one who saved you is not us, but the one who will pay for it."
The next day, Beiran wrote a letter and asked someone to send the letter to Lianxin.
An hour later, Lianxin received the letter written by Bei Ran.
I said in my heart: Your father and mother are in the North Palace, if you want to see them, then go to the North Palace.
When Lianxin saw the contents of this letter, her hands trembled, and her eyes were full of tears.
Lian Xin thought to herself: If her father and mother are in the North Palace, it means that her father and mother were saved by the North King.
This is just her conjecture, and there is also a possibility that Bei Ran deliberately said this just to lure her up.
Anyway, she hadn't seen the two of them in two years, and even if it was a scam, she had to give it a try.
Sure enough, she really went to the North Palace.
As soon as I entered the Beiwang Mansion, I saw the second elder cleaning in the front yard.
She couldn't believe that the two people in front of her were her father and mother. She stepped forward cautiously, she was afraid that it was just a dream for her, and when she woke up, there was nothing.
"Dad, mother." She called out to them tentatively.
When the second elder heard someone shouting at them, he looked up and saw that it was Lianxin.
Lianxin ran forward, hugged them tightly, and cried, "I thought I would never see you again." ”
The second elder was also very moved, and the second elder pushed away the lotus heart, and said with tears in his eyes, "Lotus heart, you go and confess!" The person who saved us was none other than Princess Bei, who would be beheaded in two days. ”
Lianxin felt very strange, how could Nangong Dumpling save them when she was obviously in prison.
"Princess North is in prison, how did she save you?" Lianxin asked.
"Princess North is indeed in prison, but the prince told us that Emperor Wan used whipping and punishment on Princess North, and Emperor Wan was confident that the princess would be beheaded, so she told her everything. That's why she brought the news out and rescued us. ”
Lianxin's mother said with tears in her eyes.
After hearing this, Lianxin couldn't help but take two steps back.
She thought to herself: she was so bad that she was going to be beheaded, and after being whipped and whipped, she still thought about this.
"Are you still unwilling to confess? Are you trying to kill your father's savior? ”
Just when Lianxin was stunned, Mo Ran appeared in front of her and said this to her.
When Lianxin heard this, she looked at Mo Ran.
"Nangong poured out until he died, thinking about whether you were threatened, that's why he did so many things. Finally know why you did so many wrong things and rescued your father and mother, do you still want to hide? Mo Ran then said.
"Lianxin, you confess your sins! Rescue the princess. Lianxin's father and mother helped to persuade.
Lianxin was still hesitating.
"I know what you're worried about. If you confess your sin, there will be no one to take care of your parents. That's what you're worried about, right? Bei Ran suddenly appeared in front of her and said.
Lianxin nodded hurriedly.
"You don't need to worry about your mom and dad. This king will let the two elders stay in the palace to do things, give them money on time every month, and will pay attention to their physical condition. Beiran gave Lianxin a guarantee.
Lianxin was skeptical, "You promise?" ”
Beiran nodded, "Even if I don't do this, Nangong Tilting will do the same." ”
Lian thought about it and decided to confess her sins.
"Lord Wang, it's not good." Wu Xi ran over and said.
"What's wrong?" Beiran asked.
"The princess was sent to the guillotine five hours early." Wu Xi said anxiously.
After hearing the news, everyone present was very surprised.
"So now Nangong is starting to come out of the prison, right?" Mo Ran asked Wu Xi.
Wu Xi nodded.
"Quick, come with this king." Beiran said to Lianxin.
Lianxin and Beiran hurried to the palace.
The guillotine is a market near the Beiwang Mansion, Mo Ran first settled Lianxin's father and mother, and then went to the guillotine alone to wait.
Beiran took the lotus heart to the Xuyang Palace to meet him.
"Father, the son has found the murderer who killed Fu Taiqing."
"Who is it?" King Beiliang asked.
"It's a slave." Lianxin said.
"You?" King Beiliang was skeptical.
Lianxin nodded.
"Why did you kill Fu Taiqing?"
Bei Ran guessed that Lianxin would not know what to say, and King Bei Liang would definitely break the casserole and ask to the end.
"Father, first issue an order to release Nangong Dumping and then try it, okay?" Beiran asked anxiously.
King Beiliang shook his head, "It's too late, I've already been sent to the guillotine." ”
"Father, if you write a holy decree, your sons will rush over quickly."
King Beiliang picked up the pen and wrote a holy decree to Beiran.
"The Holy Decree has been given to you, as for whether you can arrive or not, it's up to you."
"Thank you, Father."
After Beiran took the holy decree, he hurried to the guillotine.
Lianxin was temporarily imprisoned by His Majesty pending interrogation.
——
Shu Yao learned that Nangong Dumpling had been sent to the guillotine five hours in advance, so she took some pastries and arrived before Nangong Dumpling arrived at the guillotine.
An hour after Shu Yao arrived at the guillotine, she saw Mo Ran also coming.
"Why are you here too?" Shu Yao walked over and asked.
"Beiran entered the palace to ask for the holy decree, I am here to postpone the time." Mo Ran said.
Shu Yao began to worry about whether Bei Ran would be able to rush to the execution ground in time with the holy decree.
"How did you convince Lianxin to confess?" Shu Yao asked.
"If Lianxin knew that her father and mother were exchanged for whipping and whipping by Nangong Tanjiao, would she still be indifferent?"
Shu Yao thought about it, too, how could she be indifferent! She's not cold-blooded.
As they talked, Nangong's prisoner cart came.
Shu Yao and Mo Ran's eyes have been on Nangong Tilt.
There were a lot of people at the execution ground that day, and the news of Princess Bei's killing of the imperial court officials had also spread throughout Beiliang.
An hour after Nangong was sent to the execution ground, it was Lord Liu who was the prisoner.
Lord Liu looked up at the sky and pulled out a token, "The hour has come." ”
Shu Yao pulled Mo Ran's sleeve, and Mo Ran glanced at her and knew what she meant.
"Stop." Mo Ran shouted.
The executioner was taking a sip of wine when he was organized.
"Who is it?" Lord Liu shouted.
"Princess Xu Ming has arrived." Mo Ran shouted.
The matter of sealing a princess of the Qinzhou tribe Aja Jiyun Xu Ming has also spread throughout Beiliang.
Everyone in Beiliang knows that for so many years, it is because of the friendship with the Qinzhou tribe that there has been no war in Beiliang over the years.
The people of Beiliang are very grateful to the Qinzhou tribe, so when someone said that Princess Xu Ming had arrived, everyone saluted, "See Princess Xu Ming." ”
Shu Yao walked up to the guillotine, "Flat." Shu Yao shouted.
After Lord Liu saw Princess Xu Ming, he also hurriedly saluted, "Minister, see Princess Xu Ming." ”
"Lord Liu is flat."
"Princess Xie Xuming."
"Lord Liu, don't worry, the palace is just here to send some food to Princess Bei, and after she finishes eating, she will be executed." Shu Yao said.
Lord Liu didn't dare to offend, so he had to agree.
When someone reported that Shu Yao was coming, Nangong was very surprised, how could Shu Yao come to the execution ground.
