Chapter 198: It's hard to tell the truth from the fake
In fact, the errand officer has long been unaccustomed to the behavior of the official, and if he ignores civil affairs all day long, he will bully men and women. If he hadn't worked in the yamen for a long time and had a feeling of attachment to his errand, he would have resigned a long time ago.
The official master actually arrested someone and caught the head of the prime minister and the eldest princess of the dynasty, isn't this eating the bear's heart and leopard's gall? How many heads are enough to chop off? Naturally, these servants have become accomplices, and it will not be good when the time comes.
Thinking like this, he immediately pulled Ming Qingyan to a secluded place, stared at his eyes very seriously and asked, "Are you really the prime minister?" How do I know you're telling the truth? ”
Ming lightly looked at this errand officer, and it seemed that he could win it over and use it for my use. He whispered, "You touch my waist, there's a little cloth bag, take it out, see what's inside?" ”
The officer hesitated slightly, and then did as he was told.
He took out a small cloth bag, and said softly, "Open it and take a look." ”
The messenger opened the cloth bag and found that it was a prime minister's deputy seal. The so-called vice seal is exactly the same as the official seal, but with a subcharacter. This is the official seal that officials are allowed to carry with them when they go out. If it is lost, it will not be in the way, after all, the seal is still in the yamen.
After this seal is sealed, it also needs to be stamped to take effect, so it can be said that the seal is a verbal commitment, and the seal is implemented.
The messenger believed his words, and put the small cloth bag on Ming Qingyan's waist, and asked with a frightened face: "Xiangye, what do you want to do with the little one?" The small one is just a small errand and has no real rights. ”
Ming Qingyan was very happy to see him being won over, and said loudly: "Hearing you say this, I am relieved, it can be seen that you are a person with a clear conscience." I don't need you to do anything, I just need you to help me deliver letters. ”
"Deliver the letter, where to send it?" The officer asked, puzzled.
"Go to the city mansion, find Lord Song, tell him the situation here, and let him send troops to rescue him quickly." Ming whispered to him.
The messenger thought for a while and nodded in response: "Okay, I promise you, I'm afraid that the far water can't quench your thirst, if the master ...... you."
"Don't worry, I'll do my best to stall for time." Ming replied lightly.
The messenger nodded, "I'll be sure to deliver the letter to you." Now we have to go see the master. ”
Ming nodded lightly and asked aloud, "What's your name?" ”
"My name is Liu Yong." The officer replied.
"Liu Yong, I remember this name." Ming smiled lightly.
Then, the messenger took Ming Qingyan to the official master's study, "Master, the prisoner has been brought." ”
"Okay, you go down." The official replied in a loud voice.
The messenger retreated, and when he was about to go out, he glanced at Ming Qingyan again, reassuring him.
"How did you rest last night?" The official master smiled very sinisterly.
Ming sneered lightly: "Tie your hands, can you sleep well?" I wonder what sin we have committed? It tied us up all night. ”
"What sin? Broke into the yamen at night, teased the official, and said that he went up the mountain to catch bandits, but what was the result? What about bandits? The official also sneered: "Just because of these crimes, you can come to a decisive decision, and ask me what crime I have committed." ”
"Then let's decide, what nonsense?" Ming said lightly, looked at him, and replied fearlessly.
"You, do you think this official doesn't dare? However, this official has always had the virtue of a good life, and he was entrusted by a friend, so he left you with a life, I hope you can do it yourself, if you don't blame this official for being polite. The official replied with a benevolent face.
Seeing that he changed his face so quickly as if he was changing his face in an opera, Ming couldn't help but sneer: "Which friend's trust?" ”
As soon as his words fell, a person walked out from behind the screen and smiled, "It's me." ”
Ming Qingyan saw that the person who walked out from behind the screen was Tuoba Yanling, and couldn't help but ask, "Why are you?" Who are you? Why are you pretending to be my lady? ”
"Xianggong, what you said makes people so sad, obviously I am your lady. It must have been the demon who didn't know what hex had used to transform me into my place and try to take my place. Saying that, Tuoba Yanling walked to his side with an aggrieved face, looked at him sadly and continued: "Yesterday, you went down the mountain to find Leng Qingrong, why didn't you go back?" Are you entangled by that enchantress? In the middle of last night, we were attacked and almost killed. ”
Ming Qingyan listened to her say this, and understood that she had already wanted a countermeasure and wanted to compete with Ning Shangmo for her identity. At this time, he was powerless to change and could only ask out loud: "How is Xiao Yunzi?" Is she okay? ”
"She's fine, and she's resting well in the backyard of this mansion with the envoys. If I hadn't been alert at night, someone else would have been in the nest. After speaking, she looked at him as if she didn't know Ming and asked in a responsible voice: "I heard that you led troops up the mountain to kill us yesterday?" Fortunately, due to the sneak attack of the thieves, we were forced to flee the mountain to flee for our lives, if not, wouldn't we all become the soul of your sword? Xianggong, I didn't expect you to be so ruthless. ”
As he spoke, Tuoba Yanling began to cry, as if she was very sad.
Before Ming Qingyan could say anything, the official spoke again: "How can such a man be a woman's lifelong dependence?" It's better to take the opportunity to kill it, and then find another wishful husband. ”
When Tuoba Yanling heard this, he immediately wiped away his tears with his hands and shouted angrily: "Don't say that, my husband is a good person, but he was just fascinated by the demon girl." Only Xianggong kills me, I won't kill my Xianggong. ”
The official said unhappily: "In that case, what are you going to do?" The official is too lazy to meddle with your business. ”
When Tuoba Yanling heard this, he hurriedly requested, "Please let them go and let us go home." ”
"Aren't you afraid that he will collude with that demon girl and kill you?" The official asked out loud.
"If that's the case, that's my life, I admit it. However, I still believe that I am a father-in-law, we are so affectionate, how can he ignore the love of husband and wife? Tuoba Yanling said, holding Ming Qingyan's arm with his hand.
Ming Qingyan's arm was numb from being tied, and she couldn't help but scream in pain when she pulled it like this.
"Xianggong, what's wrong with you?" Tuoba Yanling immediately asked with concern.
"It hurts, my arm hurts." Ming replied with a pained face.
"I'll untie you." As he spoke, Tuoba Yanling helped Ming untie the rope lightly.
The official couldn't help sighing: "It seems that you are really a loving husband and wife, it's just that the official will do a good deed to let you go." ”
Then he told Ming lightly: "You have to be kind to your lady, you see how good she is to you." ”
How could Ming Qingyan not understand in his heart, this was clearly acting for him to see, but in order to see how they sang next, he smiled and said, "Definitely." ”
So, Ming Qingyan and Tuoba Yanling were taken back to the room where Leng Qingrong and them were imprisoned.
The officer opened the door and said in a loud voice, "You can all go." ”
As he spoke, he untied them.
When he walked to Ning Shangmo's side, he couldn't help but look at her in surprise, then at Tuoba Yanling, and asked puzzledly, "Are you twin sisters?" They look exactly the same. ”
Ning Shangmo sneered: "It's just a shadow, I'm not blessed with any ghost twin sisters." ”
Tuoba Yanling didn't bother with her when she heard this, but just smiled: "If you want to eat a few more prison meals, just rub it off here." ”
After speaking, she pulled Ming Qingyan and walked out.
"Where?" Ming Qingyan was pulled by her and asked puzzledly.
At this time, the situation was unclear, so he could only take advantage of the situation and perfunctory her, and then act at the opportunity.
Seeing that he didn't resist, Tuoba Yanling smiled very proudly: "Take you to the inn to rest, do you follow that demon girl to continue to go to prison?" ”
Ming stopped when he heard this.
Tuoba Yanling immediately explained: "Let's wait for them at the door, I don't want to stay in this yamen for a moment." ”
Hearing her say this, Ming Qingyan continued to walk with her.
The two of them sat on the steps of the yamen and waited for about half a pillar of incense, and Ning Shangmo Leng Qing allowed them to come out.
"You guys finally come out, then go home separately, and my husband and I will go back too." Tuoba Yanling's words were said by looking at Ning Shangmo and the eldest princess of Xiliang.
When she looked at the eldest princess of Xiliang, there was obviously a difference in her eyes.
She had been in the Xiliang Royal Court for a while, so she naturally knew her, and she also knew that she died of a violent illness before the birthday of the Xiliang Emperor and was buried in a hurry.
Now that he saw her again, and he was with her guard, he understood that Ning Shangmo must have been doing it, and a sneer rose in his eyes.
"Two Mo'er, which one is real?" Yun Yishu looked at the two Ning Shangmo, who were the same, and had already reached the level of being fake, so he asked in surprise.
"Since we can't tell the truth from the fake, then the two Mo'er will go back to the Daling Imperial City with us, maybe Shangmo also has a twin sister who lives among the people, so wouldn't we have done a good thing for the royal family?" Leng Qingrong was worthy of Yun Yishu's senior brother, and immediately understood what she meant, and said.
Ming Qingyan heard this, and also echoed: "I think this is good, it is better to take them back to the imperial city together." ”
Tuoba Yanling asked very aggrievedly: "Xianggong, you won't be confused by this demon girl and want to enjoy the blessings of Qi people, right?" ”
Ming Qingyan hurriedly waved his hand and declared: "I don't have such an idea. ”
Seeing the affectionate appearance of the two of them, the anger in Ning Shangmo's heart exploded irrepressibly.
"I'm not going with you, so as not to get in the way of some people's eyes." As she spoke, she took the hand of the eldest princess of Xiliang, and said in a firm voice: "Sister, let's go by ourselves." ”
The eldest princess of Xiliang naturally listened to her, nodded and responded, "Okay." ”
Ming Qingyan knew that Ning Shangmo was jealous, and he was very happy in his heart, but he believed that soon Ning Shangmo would understand his distress, so he was not in a hurry to explain, he needed to stabilize Tuoba Yanling.
"Mo'er......" Yun Yishu was in a hurry, Ning Shangmo finally came back, how could he go?
Tuoba Yanling said loudly: "Xiao Yunzi, your Mo'er is here, by the side of Qingyan, that is a demon girl." Don't be fooled by her, don't you see that she is followed by Xiliang people? ”
