Chapter 138: Waiting for the Others (1st Update)

Qi Wangfu.

Xiao Chengxuan's face was gloomy: "What do you say, say it again!" ”

The dark guard knelt on one knee and tensed: "Your Highness is angry!" Although the operation failed this time and failed to solve Zhao Hanguang, we sent a dead soldier and will never leak any information! ”

Xiao Chengxuan's forehead jumped: "You also know that it was the dead soldiers who were sent?" It's just killing someone in a prison, it can't be done! What is the use of this temple raising you! ”

The dark guard bowed his head: "The subordinates are incompetent, if they want to kill or chop, they will be at the disposal of His Highness!" ”

Xiao Chengxuan closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

It's useless to talk about this now, what he's worried about is that the dead man's death is afraid of something else!

Zhao Hanguang doesn't know martial arts, and it is said that assassinating him is a simple matter, but now, ......

"Check it out! What happened in the prison today, and how did Zhao Hanguang escape this catastrophe! ”

The dark guard breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately said respectfully: "Yes! ”

Just then, hurried footsteps were heard outside.

Xiao Chengxuan glanced at the dark guard, and the man quickly got up and quietly disappeared into the darkness.

As if it had never existed.

"Enter."

Xiao Chengxuan was silent, and the expression on his face had returned to normal in this instant.

A middle-aged man walked in, and a rare look of nervousness appeared on his always calm face.

Xiao Chengxuan frowned, and a little uneasiness appeared in his heart inexplicably.

"It's so late, what's the matter with this king?"

The man's face turned a little pale: "Your Highness, Zhou You retracted his confession!" Just now, Su Wei of Dali Temple had already led someone to break into Han's house directly and took Han Tong away! ”

Xiao Chengxuan suddenly got up: "What did you say!?" ”

He originally planned to kill Zhao Hanguang today and bury those secrets forever, but he didn't expect that Han Tong would be arrested again!

Once one of the two of them says something, that'......

"Your Highness, what should we do now?" The man obviously knew the stakes, and was worried, "Why don't you go to Dali Temple for Weichen?" Let them be accommodatingβ€”"

Xiao Chengxuan immediately vetoed: "No! ”

Although many people know that Han Tong is his person, if he intercedes for Han Tong at this time, wouldn't it be equivalent to blatantly tying himself and Han Tong to a rope!

"Han Tong's crime can be big or small, if he rashly participates, it will only make his father unhappy." Xiao Chengxuan pondered for a long time, and a ruthless color crossed his eyes, "In the final analysis, this matter is Han Tong's own opinion, and it has nothing to do with others, and it can't be pushed on others!" The mistakes he made should naturally be borne by himself, and he should wait and see what happens. ”

The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, what did His Royal Highness mean by this...... Just give up Han Tong like that?

Xiao Chengxuan paced left and right for two steps, and then asked, "What has been the recent movement in the Dingbei Hou Mansion?" ”

The middle-aged man came back to his senses and shook his head.

"He has been recuperating from his injuries since he returned to Beijing and doesn't seem to care about anything. I've heard that for a few days, I will go to Wulan Mountain to escape the heat. ”

Xiao Chengxuan raised his head: "Wulan Mountain? ”

……

Early in the morning of the second day, Ye Chutang took Xiao Wu to the city gate.

In the early morning, the fog has not completely dissipated, and a cool humidity lingers.

Xie Anbai was about to beat his horse out of the city, when he saw a vague and familiar figure of Huanting from a distance, and hesitated to slow down.

When he arrived, he had a look of surprise on his face.

"Second Miss Ye?"

Ye Chutang looked sideways when he heard the sound, and was slightly stunned when he saw Xie Anbai: "Gongzi Xie? ”

Xie Anbai simply turned over and dismounted, looked back and forth, and asked strangely, "So early, why did you come here?" ”

He raised his chin: "Still with Xiao Wu?" ”

Xiao Wu pursed his lips and smiled at him.

Xie Anbai's heart suddenly melted, and he couldn't help but gently pinch Xiao Wu's face.

"It's foggy in the morning, can she do it with this small body?"

"Thank you so much for your concern." Ye Chutang bowed politely, "Although Xiao Wu is young, he is in good health. ”

Xie Anbai was a little unconvinced.

That little milk group can't speak at the age of four, and it looks strange and pitiful, so it can't be said to be a body, right?

But it was hard to say, so he didn't continue, and changed the subject: "What are you doing...... In this wait? ”

Ye Chutang responded: "Yes." ”

Xie Anbai was interested: "Who are you waiting for so early?" ”

In the past few days, the affairs of the Ye family have been in an uproar, who doesn't know that Ye Chutang and Ye Heng's family have torn their faces and separated.

Ye Chutang said that in these people, their sisters and brothers seem to know so many people in the capital, I don't know who is worthy of her to come here early in the morning and wait?

Ye Chutang paused, and his voice was softer.

"Sun Li'an."

Hearing this name, Xie Anbai reacted for several seconds.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Former Ministry of Labor Langzhong, Sun Li'an? ”

This time, Ye Chutang was surprised: "Gongzi Xie knows this person?" ”

Xie Anbai unfolded his fan and sighed lightly: "A few months ago, in the case of embezzlement of ink on the Tongzhou River Embankment, this one alone embezzled a full 130,000 taels of silver, like thunder, who doesn't know?" ”

This case was very big at that time, and more than 30 officials were brought down from top to bottom, among which Sun Li'an was particularly famous.

Because he is very young, only thirty-seven years old this year, he has been promoted to the Ministry of Works, originally had a great future, but also because of the huge amount of embezzlement, I heard that when he raided his house, the backyard of his mansion was dug up, and countless money was found.

So when it comes to this name, Xie Anbai also knows.

But......

"What are you waiting for him here? If I'm not mistaken, he seems to be still in prison, right? Xie Anbai said, suddenly remembered something, and knocked his head on the handle of the fan, "Oops! I almost forgot! He's going to be exiled! Could it be today? ”

Ye Chutang nodded, but he didn't hide it.

"Uncle Xu mentioned it before, and it's today."

Xu Fengchi? It's so dignified, how did he say this to Ye Chutang?

Xie Anbai was a little puzzled, so he also asked the question in his heart: "What is he talking to you about?" ”

Ye Chutang paused and explained: "In the old days, he had a deep friendship with my father, but later broke off contact because of some things. When my father was alive, he mentioned it more than once, and he always felt that there was a misunderstanding here. It's a pity that later...... He never had a chance to ask for clarification in person. So I came today to understand a matter on my father's mind. ”

Xie Anbai was stunned.

"That's ......"

Naturally, he was not very clear about these things as an outsider, but seeing that Ye Chutang's expression was calm and firm, he didn't ask much.

At that moment, there was a sound of footsteps coming from behind, accompanied by the sound of heavy shackles dragging on the ground.

Ye Chutang raised his eyes and looked.

A group of prisoners, dressed in prison clothes and described as withered and embarrassed, were chained to a rope in order, and walked forward numbly.

The man at the end was extremely thin, with only three fingers left in his right hand, trembling uncontrollably.
