Liu Yu slept for a day and a night, and when he woke up again, it was noon the next day. He was sober at the moment, and suddenly remembered the letter that Lang Yu brought from Luoyang, so he hurriedly found it and opened it, and after browsing a few lines, his face showed joy, and then turned sad.

Xiao said in the letter that the whereabouts of Liu Yu's parents had been found. Liu Lao Xue and Mrs. Fu were captured when the thief army attacked Guangzhou City, and the two were about to be killed on the street for violating the Huangchao military order, but suddenly out of nowhere several masters who should be from Jiangnan Meizhen took Mrs. Fu away, but they didn't care about the old Liu Scholar.

After Mrs. Fu was rescued, the unknown leader of the thief army followed and gave the order, so even Old Scholar Liu was fortunate to save his life. Liu Lao Xue has now come to Chang'an with the army, but he doesn't know where he is.

Liu Yu held the letter in the palm of his hand, and unconsciously crumpled the letter into a ball. After a long time, he calmed down and pondered the purpose of the gang of thieves outside the city to bring his father, could it be that he was actually blackmailing himself?

If this is the case, then his father Liu Lao Xue must be hiding in an extremely secret place, how can he easily find it!

He couldn't help but think of his senior brother Zhu Wen, who served in the thief army, maybe this person could help a little in this matter. Although the two of them serve their own ways on the battlefield, they still have the love of brothers and sisters in private. Even if he Zhu Wen regains his own anger, it is impossible not to save his master.

Subsequently, he quickly dismissed his own idea. According to the news that those court spies sent outside the city recently inquired about it, Na Zhu Wen's men and horses are still stationed in Yongzhou, far away from Chang'an City, so I am afraid that this matter is beyond the reach of the whip.

Although this is very difficult to do, Liu Yu still has the urge to go out of the city to find his father in person, but light kung fu is not his forte. I'm afraid that as soon as he leaves the city, he will make a great commotion, and if he is surrounded by thieves on all sides, it will be extremely difficult to even get out by himself, how can he talk about saving people?

Thinking of this, he regretted a little that he shouldn't have rushed to drive Langyu away, otherwise with Langyu's light skills and cleverness, it would not be difficult to find out some news among the thieves.

At this moment, someone outside the door came to report, so he put away the crumpled letter and opened the door, only to see that it was the ten subordinates of the dragon group who had not been seen for several days.

"What's the important news?" he asked.

The ten people looked at each other, and finally one of them replied, "My lord, the city has been very peaceful lately, and nothing important has happened. ”

"Hmm. Liu Yu replied lightly.

"My lord, what are the cases we need to handle? Anyway, we have nothing to do at the moment. The subordinate who had just spoken hurriedly continued.

"Take me to the prison of the Criminal Department, I heard that there is a palace maid named Ah Zhen who is imprisoned there?" Liu Yu looked at this person meaningfully.

The subordinate was full of surprise when he heard this, "Your Excellency is really well-informed, how did you know about this?"

Liu Yu smiled slightly, and secretly sighed that it was not easy to remain calm in the face of such a group of people who were acting.

His face was still the same as usual, and he replied: "Yes, there was a case ordered by King Kui just today that is related to this palace maid. Come with me to the Punishment Department!"

"Yes!" the ten people hurriedly replied, their voices very neat.

A moment later, eleven fast horses galloped out of the gate of the Dali Temple and headed towards the prison of the Criminal Department.

Liu Yu led ten people to walk about half a cup of tea, and stopped at the entrance of a yamen with a lot of doors, only the two golden words "Criminal Department" on the plaque showed the glory of this place.

These ten looked at the gate of the criminal department in front of them, and the hidden guards of the dragon group were all worried. They invariably took out something that looked like a bamboo piece from their arms, carefully held it in their palms, and muttered for a while.

Liu Yu was surprised when he saw this, "What are you doing here?"

One of them hurriedly rode a horse closer, and the word "morality" engraved on the bamboo plaque was quite eye-catching, "Lord Qiyu, this is a peace charm that can save your life, and now everyone believes in it." This prison of the Ministry of Punishment is not a good place, and the brothers were nervous, so they all wanted to take out this peace charm and recite it. ”

Liu Yu smelled a faint smell of déjà vu from the bamboo plaque, so he stretched out his hand and gently pushed the bamboo plaque away, and asked, "Where did you get this peace charm?"

The hidden guard hurriedly replied, "This bamboo plaque was first obtained by the eldest brothers of the Falcon Group from a saint a few days ago, and I heard that it is very effective. When the brothers saw this, they were very greedy, so they ruthlessly took some silver taels out of the money, and begged the eldest brothers of the Falcon group to ask us for these peace charms from the saint. No, I just got it back yesterday, and I haven't covered it yet. ”

Liu Yu sighed after hearing this, even if he heard the word "saint", he was noncommittal, "Okay, put everything away." Fang Jin is in troubled times, and you are all people who lick blood on the knife edge, where can you get true peace!"

The hidden guard was slightly dissatisfied when he heard this, and he owed a slight debt on horseback, which was regarded as an apology in advance for what he was going to say next, "My lord is telling the truth, but all of us are dragging our families with our mouths, if we accidentally have three long and two short, it is not only that I have lost my life, but even the old and young in the family will suffer with it, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to get a bite of food." ”

After hearing this, Liu Yu became interested, "How many children do you have at home?"

"Just a son, the child is very smart, only thirteen years old can memorize the four books and five classics well, much stronger than me. If it weren't for the chaos in this world, he would definitely be able to gain fame and glory in the future!" said the guard, with a rare glimmer of brightness in his eyes.

"Fortunately, your money is enough to support your family, otherwise it would not be particularly easy to support a Taiping scholar. Liu Yu said with a smile.

"Yes, thanks to your righteousness, Lord Liu, you have never owed us subordinates. The guard looked grateful, and he thought about what to say, and then stopped. After some psychological struggle, he finally decided to come out of the tray, "Don't tell the adult, Lu Yi's family is next door to our house, and now that family is much sadder than us." ”

After speaking, he raised his head and silently looked at Lord Zhengqing in front of him, expecting this person's response.

Of course, Liu Yu remembered that Lu Yi was the previous leader of the Dragon Group, and in order to kill chickens and monkeys, he killed this person when he first entered Yinzhuang.

"How is the family doing now?" he asked, frowning.

"It could have gotten by, just because when Lu Yi was alive, he once sent his only daughter into the palace as a maid by virtue of his relationship. Later, although he died, the family could barely survive with the meager silver that his daughter brought out of the palace. The guard's tone began to choke up a little as he said this.

"Oh, what about later?" Liu Yu continued.

Later, this girl's life was not good, she suffered, and now she is locked up in the prison of the Criminal Department, and their family is completely cut off from life, and the courtyard of the family has been surrounded by the forbidden army. His Royal Highness King Kui said that if this woman is indeed guilty, then she will be beheaded all over the house!" the guard said with tears in his eyes.

"What's the name of this woman?" asked Liu Yu without moving.

"I don't have a big name, my nickname is Ah Zhen, what a very sensible and kind-hearted child!" the hidden guard sighed loudly.
