"Where?" Ye Tianhuai didn't notice that his voice was a little shaky.

Qin Yang paused for a moment and said, "I met a captain in the Tai Hospital, and he said that he had fought side by side with the Shaodong family in the East Gate this afternoon. Originally, the Shaodong family took a few people to rely on the terrain to stop the pursuers in the east gate, but later the director of the criminal department brought a team of patrols to kill them from outside the door. The young owner suffered from the enemy on his back, and then he gradually fell behind. Then the news came from Chengtianmen that the right guard was transferred, and the Shaodong family was taken away by the head of the criminal department. ”

Ye Tianhuai frowned and asked, "Which person is in charge of the Criminal Department?" ”

Qin Yang recalled for a moment and replied, "The surname is Zheng, Zheng Zhaodong." ”

The Criminal Department does have such a principal, and as far as Ye Tianhuai knows, this person is Gu Shihai's confidant.

It seems that Lu Yanchen fell into the hands of Gu Shihai and the Criminal Department.

Ye Tianhuai crossed the threshold, led the horse tied to the door, jumped up, and said, "Go, go to the criminal department." ”

——

Gu Shihai's mansion is only two streets away from the Criminal Department, and on the way to the Criminal Department, Ye Tianhuai glanced at the door of his mansion from afar at the entrance of the street, and saw three or five carriages parked in front of his door, and many small servants were busy leading horses and chariots, so it was not lively.

At this time, there are still so many guests in the Gu Mansion, it seems that tonight is also a difficult night for Gu Shihai.

The forbidden army has changed so much, in addition to Luo Zichang, there must be many people who are dissatisfied.

"Qin Yang, you said earlier, the person who told you about Mr. has fought side by side with Mr., what is his name?" When he was about to arrive in front of the criminal department, Ye Tianhuai asked.

Qin Yang thought for a moment and replied, "Chu Dingguo." ”

Ye Tianhuai was a little shocked, and asked again: "He said that he fought side by side with Mr.?" ”

"yes."

"He turned back?" Ye Qianhuai muttered.

Qin Yang suddenly reined in his horse.

"Your Majesty! Look there! Qin Yang pointed to the gate of the Criminal Department at the end of the road.

Ye Tianhuai looked in the direction he pointed, and saw a simple carriage parked at the entrance of the criminal department, patrolling around the side of the carriage, and each person holding a torch in his hand, illuminating the gate.

Then, Ye Tianhuai saw a tall man walking out of the gate of the criminal department by two officials.

From a distance, she could see at a glance that it was Lu Yanchen.

Even though he was ragged, his black clothes were covered with knife cuts, his hair was messy, his long hair hung down to cover half of his face, and the exposed half of his face was also covered with blood, his hands and feet were shackled, and his walking steps were already unsteady, and he was almost half-dragged and half-escorted out.

Ye Tianhuai still recognized him at a glance.

She felt a sudden pain in her heart.

At this time, Lu Yanchen was like a trapped beast that had been seriously injured. The patrols surrounded him, but they all kept an arm's length from him, as if they were on guard against his possible counterattack.

They were going to put him in that wagon, and they didn't know where they were going to go.

Ye Tianhuai kicked the horse's belly, urging the horse to catch up.

"Lord Lu, if you refuse to get into this carriage, you have to walk to Dali Temple. We don't care, I'm afraid that Lord Lu will not be able to walk with such heavy shackles. ”

The head-catcher used respectful words, but the tone was full of mockery, which was quite a bit of a villain's ambition.

Lu Yanchen slowly squinted his eyes and glanced at him.

The headcatcher closed his mouth for a moment, and he felt as if he had been swept away by a blade.

He took a few steps back and instructed his subordinates, "Why don't you let Lord Lu get into the car quickly?" Dali Temple is still waiting! ”

Today, Lu Yanchen's deeds of one enemy and one hundred in the East Gate have long been spread throughout the entire Criminal Department, and the patrols are a little frightened by him, and they dare not step forward.

Seeing that his subordinates were so cowardly and didn't want to catch their heads, he looked around, snatched a long stick from the person next to him, and said to Lu Yanchen: "Lord Lu, the good words of the lower officials have been said, don't you know each other." ”

As he spoke, he slammed the long stick twice under Lu Yanchen's feet.

The sound of horses' hooves sounded urgently, Ye Tianhuai galloped across the street, and shouted in front of the crowd: "My people, which of you dares to touch him at all?" ”

The light of the torch swayed, and everyone raised their heads to see Ye Tianhuai on the horse, the firelight reflected the sharp edges and corners of her face, and the slender neck set off her extremely tall posture sitting on the horse.

"See Your Majesty!" Someone knelt down with a torch.

Then the others knelt down intermittently. The head catcher finally knelt down, and the long stick was placed at his feet, seemingly reluctantly.

Ye Tianhuai turned over and dismounted, walked straight to Lu Yanchen's side, supported his somewhat rickety figure with one hand, and said with enthusiasm in his eyes: "I'm late, Mr. is suffering." ”

When Lu Yanchen saw her, his eyes lit up, he looked Ye Tianhuai up and down, and finally fell on Ye Tianhuai's hanging arm.

He opened his mouth, but he couldn't speak.

In the firelight, Ye Tinghuai noticed that his lips were white, and they were covered with chapped marks.

Without making a sound, Lu Yanchen grabbed Ye Tianhuai's arm with his backhand and grabbed it hard, looking at her with eyes full of inquiry and distress.

It's like asking her how she got hurt like this.

Ye Qianhuai's heart suddenly seemed to collapse.

She thought that when he saw her, he should be happy to see the savior, or relieved and relaxed.

He was injured so much, his face was bloodless, and he described it as withered, not only the despair of the tiger falling into Pingyang, but even half of his life was gone, if it wasn't for Ye Qianhuai coming in time, I don't know how long it would be to live.

But when he saw Ye Tianhuai for the first time, he was actually worried about her safety and injury.

Ye felt guilty.

She is like a naughty child, so that Lu Yanchen, a husband who is a teacher and a father, is still worried about her until he is dying, and he can't feel at ease.

"Mr. is seriously injured, I will talk about it when I have something to say back to the palace." Ye Tianhuai held Lu Yanchen's arm and choked up a little.

She turned her head sideways, looked at the head catcher who was kneeling beside her, and said, "Why don't you open the shackles quickly?" ”

The head catcher hesitated for a moment, kowtowed and said: "Your Majesty, this person trespassed into the palace city, slaughtered the forbidden army, fought with horses, resisted arrest in violation of orders, and committed several crimes, and needs to be handed over to Dali Temple for punishment." ”

Ye Tianhuai snorted coldly and said, "Lu Yanchen was escorted into the palace by my secret order, and it was the forbidden army who deliberately blocked it, and it was disrespectful to resist the order!" Luo Zichang has been dismissed and punished, you don't go to arrest the right guard of the forbidden army to ask, what are you doing with the escort hero who caught me? ”

She was worried about Lu Yanchen's injury, so she didn't want to delay more, and said harshly.

"Killing pays for life, the cycle of heavenly law. Your Majesty, as the Son of Heaven, should set an example, how can you bend the law for personal gain? "The catcher bites and doesn't let go.

"If I say that, I've killed people too. Go get a pair of shackles and lock me up. ”

Catcher raised his head and looked at Ye Qianhuai, and for a moment, Ye Qianhuai saw a trace of hesitation in his small eyes.

He really wanted to shackle the emperor.
