At night, Ling'er changed into night clothes, masked and went to the court. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

In order to lure Qingfeng Xia to appear, the government escorted Lu Yao to the court in advance in the evening in the name of showing the public, and tied him to the pillar in the center of the law field.

Ling'er knew that she was not good at martial arts, and she would not do her best to save people, she just hoped that she could help a little when Qingfeng Xia appeared. She lurked in the seclusion, observing the situation on the court.

The law field seemed to be calm, and there were not many guards, but Ling'er could feel the danger hidden in the night. The government must have set up terrible traps around, but with Ling'er's experience in the rivers and lakes, he couldn't see it.

Torches illuminate the dharma field.

Lu Yao lowered his head and was struggling in pain. He was tied to a pillar with a packet of powder hidden in his right hand. This bag of medicinal powder was like a hot potato, ironing his palms and torturing his heart. He would rather lose his life than poison Qingfeng, but he couldn't watch his mother, who had raised him with so much difficulty, be tortured to death, and he couldn't let his young sister be humiliated. Therefore, he could only confess his guilt according to his words, and was tied up here to lure Qingfeng Xia to come to his rescue, and then took the opportunity to poison him! He was a coward, why didn't he let him die? He couldn't live with his mother, his younger sister, Qingfengxia, and the people!

Just after the hour, Qi Yang got up and lit incense, and after a while, he opened the closet, pushed open the secret door on the inside, leaned over a little and walked in, and took the cabinet door with him.

Qi Yang walked down the narrow stairs and came to the cubicle on the first floor. He lit the sandalwood, then took out a full set of robes from the closet by the stairs and put them on expertly. After finishing the assembly, he picked up a medicine bottle from the low cabinet next to the bed, took out a few small pain-relieving pills from it and threw them into his mouth. Then, he tied his headband, covered his scarf, wrapped a soft sword around his waist, pushed open the secret door on the first floor, and walked out of the back door of the Qi house.

The night breeze was slightly cool, and Qi Yang did not feel cold because of his light skills and internal strength. He flew to a courtyard, turned over, and came to the edge of a rockery with a familiar car, groping for something on the stone wall. Suddenly, the mechanism was touched, and a stone door slowly opened. Qi Yang stepped in.

A pitch-black passage leads down to somewhere.

Qi Yang adjusted to the darkness a little, and walked down the passage. It wasn't until some smell of blood wafted in front of him that Qi Yang slowed down.

As soon as the passage turned, there was a slight light in front of it. Qi Yang squinted his eyes and adapted to the light, and then understood the situation around him.

This is the dungeon of Murong Villa. Qi Yang had seen it in the layout map of the villa, and he had passed by it once a few days and nights, and his original understanding of this dungeon was limited to this.

The secret agent who was sent to infiltrate the villa reported that an old woman and a girl had been arrested and put into the dungeon of the villa, and Qi Yang boldly guessed that the government had colluded with the Black Lotus Divine Sect to design this conspiracy. He asked people to go to Lu Yao's home to investigate, and learned that Lu Yao's mother and sister were captured by officers and soldiers, and the old woman and girl who were locked up in this dungeon at this time were Lu Yao's family.

This dungeon is quite different from Qi Yang's imagination. He had thought that there were only one or two small cells here, but he didn't expect that this dungeon was actually composed of more than a dozen cells, and these cells were holding other people.

Qi Yang dodged in, and with his strong martial arts, he put down the four guards in one fell swoop. Then he took a torch and went from room to room in search of the old woman and the maiden.

The people in the cell were all people who had offended the Murong family on weekdays, some were Jiang Yang thieves, and some were martial arts swordsmen, all of whom were not good people, so Qi Yang didn't plan to pay attention to them.

In a cell in the back, Qi Yang saw the mother and daughter hugging each other in fear. He took out a steel needle from the hidden leather pouch around his waist, inserted it into the lock, and with a slight twist, the lock opened.

The old woman and the girl were immediately surprised when they saw the visitor dressed in green clothes.

Qi Yang supported the old woman and left with the girl.

When passing around the corner, Qi Yang inadvertently saw that a weak woman was being held in the innermost cell, so he took a few more looks. The woman was disheveled, skinny, and sat weakly against the corner, breathless. She was wearing a loose white shirt, and the word "prisoner" on her chest was faintly visible.

Qi Yang was taken aback, how could there be a prisoner from the government here? He felt that there was something strange about this matter, so he approached and looked at this woman seriously.

The woman was pale and seemed to have been imprisoned for many years without seeing the sun. Her face couldn't be seen clearly when her hair hung down on her face, and there was a butterfly tattoo on the back of her hand that showed her sleeves.

Qi Yang was shocked again, this was a unique mark of the Demon Sect attendant!

"Who is she? Dressed in the prison uniform of the government, a member of the Demon Sect who has been imprisoned in the Black Lotus Divine Sect prison all year round!" Qi Yang took a deep look at the woman, and then left with the old woman and the girl.

It's already the second watch, Ling'er is lurking in the dark and looking out anxiously, thinking: "Why hasn't Qingfeng Man shown up to save people, Brother Lu will be beheaded tomorrow!"

But when Ling'er saw the cyan figure coming from a distance, she changed her mind again: "Qingfeng Man, are you a fool?

Ling'er clenched her sword tightly, ready to do her best to help Qingfengxia.

As the cyan figure approached, the officers and soldiers on the court immediately became nervous, and they took up their weapons one after another and waited for the battle.

Lu Yao noticed the abnormal movement around him, and looked up in the direction of Qingfeng Xia, his eyes full of sadness and despair.

As he approached the edge of the court, he stood close to the torches and pulled out two headbands, one brown and one pink, from his arms.

Although the distance was not close, Lu Yao recognized at a glance that those were the headbands of his mother and sister by the light of the torches! Such a close thing can only explain one thing. Tears of excitement burst out, blurring Lu Yao's vision. At this time, he only had one thought: "I can finally be an honest person, even if I die, I have no regrets!"

Ling'er didn't know what Qingfeng Xia wanted, she just waited for Qingfeng to do it and showed up to help.

Qingfeng Xia knew that Lu Yao understood what he meant, so he put away his hairband and walked away.

The officers and soldiers guarding the court were baffled by Qingfengxia's behavior.

Ling'er in the shadows was even more confused. She thought about it and thought it would be fine. Judging from the current situation, Qingfeng Xia is very likely to save people and take his own life. As for Brother Lu, I hope there will be a turnaround tomorrow.

Early the next morning, Ling'er rushed to the Qingfeng Inn, and everyone from "Feng'er" was there.

As soon as she saw Ling'er, Gongsun Qian stepped forward quickly and said, "Sister Ling'er, there is good news!"

Ling'er hurriedly asked, "Is it that Brother Lu doesn't have to be beheaded?"

Gongsun Qian nodded with a smile and said, "Not only did I not have to be beheaded, but I was also acquitted." ”

Ling'er was surprised and delighted, and said: "The government convicted him in order to lead Qingfengxia to show up to save people, and Qingfengxia didn't hit the plan last night, so they let people go, is that so?"

Gongsun Qian said: "My sister thinks too simply. Even if Brother Qingfeng didn't have a plan, the government would not let go of Lu Yao easily. ”

"Then what's going on?" Ling'er asked.

"Last night, someone sent an anonymous letter to the Shangshu Mansion of the Criminal Department, asking Lord Shangshu to retry Lu Yao's case. Gongsun Qian replied.

"The secretary of the criminal department?" Ling'er had heard that this was a good and honest official.

"Isn't it Qin'er's sister's father. Gongsun Qian said, pointing to the purple-clothed woman who was surrounded by the "Feng'er" ladies to inquire about the news.

"Why didn't we directly invite Lord Shangshu to come forward yesterday?" Ling'er was puzzled.

"Because that Lu Yao confessed his guilt!" Gongsun Qian said, "Sister, don't worry, listen to me in detail." The anonymous letter mentioned that Lu Yao was a dart master of the Zhenyuan Dart Bureau, and he was not in the capital all the year round, and he had a certificate of not being in the capital when Brother Qingfeng acted recently, which can prove that he has nothing to do with Brother Qingfeng. The letter also mentions that he confessed because his family had fallen into the hands of traitors, and he could only confess his guilt under the threat of persecution. ”

"I see. Ling'er carefully recalled that when Qingfeng Man appeared last night, he seemed to be holding some headband-like objects in his hand, and he figured out the joints at once. She said: "Qingfeng rescued Brother Lu's family overnight, so that Brother Lu is no longer coerced. ”

"Possibly! But we haven't heard about it yet. Gongsun Qian said.

"This anonymous letter must have also been sent by Qingfeng Xia to the Shangshu Mansion of the Criminal Department. Ling'er speculated.

Gongsun Qian nodded in agreement and said, "Lord Shangshu didn't wait for the dawn, and asked the yamen to retry the case overnight, and finally overturned the case for Na Lu Yao." ”

"Thanks to this Shangshu-sama. Ling'er said gratefully. She thought to herself that Qingfeng Xia was really thoughtful, if Qingfeng Xia went directly to the court to save people, Brother Lu would probably have to live a life of fugitives for the rest of his life. And now that Brother Lu can return to his own life, it is really good. I hope that Brother Lu will not act so recklessly in the future. Ling'er suddenly thought of Qi Yang's evaluation of Brother Lu, and she was really right. Immediately, she was angry that Qi Yang was not saved at that time.
