Chapter 301: Two people escaped

The two of them were cautious along the way, and finally came to the city gate tower. There were already three or four people in front of them waiting to open the city gate, and there were some merchants' carriages beside them, Li Jinhua and Li Jinlan were sitting on the side, waiting for the city gate to open.

As soon as it was dawn, the guards of the city opened the gates, and the people who were waiting by them stood up and gathered at the gate.

"Don't crowd it, you can release it if there is no problem after the inspection." The guard said as he began to check the men's luggage, asking them where they were going and what they were doing. After Li Jinlan saw this scene, he pulled Li Jinhua to his side.

"Remember, I'll go out of the city to visit relatives in a while, relatives are on the outskirts of the city, because we're sick, let's go to visit, don't say anything else, remember?" Li Jinhua nodded after listening to Li Jinlan's words.

The two waited at the back of the crowd, slowly moving forward, and soon it was their turn. Li Jinhua originally wanted to be with Li Jinlan, but because there were two guards, the two went to different sides, one left and one right.

"What's it called, what are you doing out of the city?" The guard on one side asked Li Jinlan.

"Li Lan, I went out of the city to visit relatives." Li Jinlan removed a word from his name, said the reason he had made up in advance, and saw that the guards were going to leave after they finished recording it in the book.

"Wait, open the baggage and take a look." The guards took a look at Li Jinlan and stopped him, at this time Li Jinhua on the side had already finished registering, and seeing that Li Jinlan had not left, he followed him back.

"Since you're here, let's open the baggage too."

"But I've already checked it over there, do I still want to open it?" Li Jinhua pointed to the guards on the other side and said.

"If you want to open it, open it, otherwise you will go to Dali Temple and open it."

The two had no choice but to open the burden on their bodies and put it on the table, Li Jinlan's burden was full of silver, and Li Jinhua's burden was a pile of dry food.

"Why do you have so much money and dry food with you?" The guards were a little alarmed. If they simply go out of the city to visit relatives, they will not bring so much dry food, and they are dressed like they are not visiting relatives, but like fleeing. The guards looked at the clothes of the two and found that the corners of their clothes had been burned by fire, which was easily reminiscent of the fire in the academy the day before.

"We ...... It's all prepared to be eaten on the way. Li Jinlan said with a smile on his face, in fact, he was nervous, and his hands were clenched into fists in his sleeves.

"Eat on the road? That's at least enough food for ten days, right? You say that your relatives are in the suburbs of Beijing, so you don't need so much at all. Tell me, what are you doing? The guard asked, giving the brother on the other side a look. When the guards on the opposite side received it, they slowly surrounded them.

"Run!" Li Jinlan suddenly roared, grabbed a handful of silver on the table and ran towards the city gate. But how could these two be the guards' opponents, they hadn't even run a few steps before the guards caught them.

"Let go of me, let go of me!" Li Jinlan kept struggling, but unfortunately he was just a son-in-law, and he couldn't break free from the shackles of the guards at all, so he could only be tied up with Li Jinhua in the end.

"Big brother, what now?" Li Jinhua and Li Jinlan were tied to the table, and he didn't dare to speak loudly, so he could only ask questions in a low voice.

Li Jinlan was already about to be tortured and crazy by his third brother who had no brains, and he knew what to do all day long, if he had run by himself, he would have been out of the city by this time.

"I don't know! Don't ask me! Li Jinlan replied angrily. Now the two are tied up, and they have just failed to buy the guards with silver, and the only way is to be escorted to Dali Temple. Dali Temple is now the head of King Yan, and they don't dare to hide it at all. They have also heard of the name of King Yan, and if they tell the truth, they may still live, and if they hide it, there is only a dead end.

After the people who had left the city had left, there was a brief silence at the city gates. The guard walked in front of the two of them at this time.

"The two of you are going to Dali Temple with me now, and you will make it clear the purpose of your departure from the city, and you will definitely not be able to leave the city if you don't make it clear." After the guard finished speaking, he took the two to Dali Temple, and on the way remembered that King Yan was in the academy at this time, so he directly escorted these two people to the academy.

As soon as Li Jinlan and Li Jinhua approached the academy, their whole people began to tremble. They finally left here, but they didn't expect to be back here now. Chu Ruoyan has such a good psychological quality, but they don't have it. As soon as they returned here, their minds began to recall the tragic events of that day, the cries, and the corpse.

"Bring it here." Chu Ruoyao stood up and walked towards the room next to her, Li Jinlan and Li Jinhua were taken by the guards, and when they passed by Li Luobing, they wanted to speak, but Li Luobing didn't even look at them, and was still fiddling with the ointment by himself.

The two followed Chu Ruoqi into the house, and the guards threw them into the house, then closed the door and retreated.

"Tell me, who are you?" Chu Ruoqi sat on the chair and asked. He actually knew the identities of the two men, but asked to follow a certain process.

"We ......" Li Jinlan hesitated, this Yan Wang may not know their identity, but this Yan Princess will definitely know that if they use a fake name and are exposed in the end, then there is really no way out. After thinking of this, Li Jinlan explained the identities of the two to Chu Ruoyan, and there was a vague relationship with Li Luo Bingpan in the conversation.

"What are you doing out of town?"

"We're out of town...... It's to see relatives. Before Li Jinlan could speak, Li Jinhua replied first. As soon as he heard this answer, Li Jinlan couldn't wait to beat him up immediately, and at this time, he said that he would go to see his relatives, and King Yan would never believe it.

"Oh? Looking at relatives? Do you still have relatives in the suburbs of the city? Chu Ruoyan knew that these two people were lying, so she put down the teacup in her hand and looked at the two of them with interest.

When Li Jinhua saw Chu Ruoyao like this, he also knew that he had said the wrong thing, and no matter what Chu Ruoyao asked later, he didn't want to speak again.

"What's the matter with your clothes?" Chu Ruoqi saw that she couldn't ask anything, so she led the topic to the clothes of the two people, the corners of the clothes of these two people had traces of being burned by fire, and there were also traces of blackening in some places, which showed that the two of them were at the scene when the fire was fired.

"We ...... We ran out of the house. Li Jinlan thought about it and replied, he still had a fluke mentality, and he had been expecting Chu Ruoqi to believe what they said.

"Running out of the house? Not necessarily! Why are your shoes clean? The fire is burning from the ground in front of the door, and your shoes should be the most damaged when you go out......" As soon as Li Luobing, who had just finished dispensing the ointment, entered the house, he heard the lies of these two people.

"Finished with ointment?" After Li Luobing sat down, Chu Ruoyao asked.

"For the time being, it's not about taking a break and seeing what you're doing."

The two behaved intimately above, which made Li Jinlan and Li Jinhua a little discouraged, they just thought that they could ask Princess Yan to help intercede, but now they don't know what else it will do.

"King Yan, I don't know what kind of punishment the initiator will receive when this incident of this academy comes out?" Li Luobing pretended to ask Chu Ruoyao, but in fact, these words were all said to the two people on the ground, the purpose was to tell them what the consequences would be.

"If you tell the truth after you catch it, you may still have a life, but a living crime is inevitable." Chu Ruoyan thought for a while and replied.

And a life? Li Jinhua, who heard this, raised his head suddenly, since he could still live, wouldn't it be good for him to explain everything? Anyway, they were also threatened by Chu Ruoyan to do this, if they want to blame, let them blame Chu Ruoyan.

"King Yan, we didn't mean it, we are ......" Before Li Jinhua finished speaking, Li Jinlan on the side couldn't hold back any longer, his hands and feet were tied and there was no way to beat him, so he moved directly in front of him and knocked him down with his body, interrupting his words.

"Big brother, what are you doing!" It took Li Jinhua, who was knocked down, to sit up again after a long time, and his face was full of blame for Li Jinlan. He didn't want to live, he still wanted to live, and he saw that he would be able to make meritorious contributions, but he was brutally destroyed.

"Idiot, why don't you think about it before you speak, how can you give us a way to live when so many people have died!"

"But ......," Li Jinhua was ready to retort.

"How do you know that a lot of people died? You said you escaped from the house, maybe everyone escaped after you? Li Luobing seized the loophole in Li Jinlan's words and began to ask.

"Impossible, I obviously looked at them......" Li Jinlan blurted out subconsciously, only to realize that he had said the wrong thing.

"Look at them for what? Is it to watch them run out? Or watch them burned alive? Although Li Luobing's voice was small, every word he said was pierced in the hearts of the two of them.

"Yes. Say, after that, this king will think about what to do with you. Chu Ruoyan also replied beside her.

"We ......"

"If you don't say it, I don't want to die yet!" Li Jinhua didn't know where the strength came from, so he arched Li Jinlan to the side in one fell swoop, and he himself raised his head at Li Luobing and Chu Ruoyao.

"Speak, this king listens." Chu Ruoyao motioned for Li Luobing to take a pen and paper beside him, ready to record what Li Jinhua said.

"This matter was originally ...... with me It has nothing to do with us, it's all done by the prince alone. Li Jinhua almost excluded Li Jinlan when he said it, but after thinking about it, he added it.
