Early the next morning, a messenger came to invite, and seeing his strange expression, Yi Fan asked, "What made you panic?"

Yacha hesitated for a moment and said, "Master, last night, that Zhu Erdan committed suicide in the cell, and the prefect sent a small one to invite you two to see if it was a demon." ”

Did Jurdan commit suicide?

Yi Fan and the two looked at each other, feeling surprised, packed up their things, and went out with the disgusting ghost.

When I arrived at the yamen and entered the hall, I saw the prefect sitting on the upper seat, looking slightly haggard, and constantly picking up the teacup and drinking tea.

Yi Fan was puzzled, even if Zhu Erdan committed suicide, as the prefect, he would not look so flustered, could it be that there were other things that could not be done?

Seeing Yi Fan and the others coming in, the prefect asked someone to prepare tea, and said straight to the point: "Two mages, I invited you to come because of Zhu Erdan's suicide." ”

As he spoke, he told me what had happened, it turned out that overnight last night, he found the identity of Zhu Erdan, who was reformed by Zhejiang Xuezheng Revolution, and then broke into the big guy.

Who knows, Zhu Erdan actually strangled himself in the second half of the night, taking advantage of the prison director's rest, and the death was extremely miserable, which made people feel chilled.

"Please let the two of you check it out. After hearing this, Yi Fan thought about it.

"Don't bother the two mages, this matter is already clear, then Zhu Erdan committed suicide in fear of sin, and there is no demon to haunt him. ”

The prefect shook his head, asked someone to take a letter, handed it to Yi Fan, and said: "This is what Zhu Erdan asked the prison director to send pen and ink to write before he died. ”

Yi Fan opened the letter, handed it to Zhuge Liuyun after a while, and sighed: "I knew today, why bother in the beginning." ”

The language of the letter was deranged, and he was determined to die, and he regretted very much what he had done, and only hoped that he would be buried in a piece of land after death, rather than die in the wilderness.

"Such a ruthless and unrighteous person, it is not a pity to die. ”

Zhuge Liuyun snorted coldly: "His wife is inseparable from life and death, poverty does not give up, and she is dedicated to running the family business for him, but in the end she is disgusted and ugly, her head has been replaced, and she can't leave a whole corpse when she dies, so that the ruthless and unrighteous people should die in the wilderness and let the beasts devour her." ”

People's hearts are greedy, and sometimes demons are not necessarily more poisonous than people's hearts.

Yi Fan shook his head, didn't speak, put down the teacup and said, "Lord Prefect, since there is nothing to do, the two of them will not bother and leave." ”

"Please wait, two mages, I want to inform you two of you about something. ”

"Oh?"

The prefect groaned, glanced at Yi Fan and the others, and said: "Don't hide it from the two mages, the matter was too big last night, and the governor reported the matter to the court overnight, I am afraid that in a few days, there will be a heavenly official who will come down to inspect." ”

"At that time, if the two mages are still in Hangzhou, I am afraid that they will fall into a huge storm, so the two mages have nothing else to do, and it is best to leave Hangzhou as soon as possible. ”

Yi Fan's face changed slightly, and he thought for a while: "Then the two of us will leave today, and then say goodbye to Master Deng and leave Hangzhou immediately." ”

"The two mages don't have to go to Deng's mansion, the official has already sent someone to tell Deng Gong, and the two of them will leave Hangzhou directly. As he spoke, the prefect asked people to send two burdens: "There are 100 taels of silver in it, which should be used as the travel expenses of the two mages, and the ship is ready, so the official will not send it." ”

So anxious? Yi Fan and Zhuge Liuyun were a little stunned, but seeing that the prefect's face didn't look like a joke, could it be that there was something else hidden in it?

Suddenly, there was a noise outside the yamen, and a maid hurriedly ran in and said, "My lord, the governor is here." ”

"Two mages, please go through the back door, don't let people see your figure, otherwise there will be big trouble. ”

The prefect's face changed, and he put down the teacup.

After speaking, a person dressed as a butler walked in through the back door: "Two mages, please." ”

Although Yi Fan and the others didn't know what was going on, they didn't want to get into trouble, so they picked up their baggage and followed the housekeeper through the back door.

When Yi Fan and the others walked away with the disgusting ghosts, the prefect shouted: "Someone." ”

A few people dressed as strong servants walked in from the outside, and arched their hands: "My lord, please command." ”

"Throw the maids and servants who have seen the two mages into the lake to feed the fish, and clean their hands and feet. ”

The prefect was expressionless, and after giving the order, he walked out.

......

Yi Fan and the two followed the person dressed as a housekeeper, walked all the way, quickly entered the backyard, and then went out through the back door, and there was already a carriage waiting outside.

"Two mages, I won't send you much below, and when you get to the docks, someone will receive you. ”

With that, turn around and go back.

Yi Fan couldn't figure out what was going on, and got into the carriage, and the coachman didn't take the usual road, he worked hard all the way, and it took less than half an hour to reach the dock.

As soon as he got out of the carriage, someone sneakily came over: "Two mages, please come with me." ”

Yi Fan and the others followed with the disgusted ghosts, got on a small boat, and entered a good room, where wine and food were already prepared, and then the man gave up his hand and said: "This ship is going to Jinling, and the two mages only need to get off the boat halfway." ”

After the man finished speaking, he walked in a hurry, and disappeared into the crowd when he got off the boat, and after a while, the big boat slid and traveled not far, when he heard an uproar at the dock, and the two went out to look, and saw that there were countless officers and soldiers coming from all over the place, quickly emptying the dock, and searching for the ships that stopped in place one by one.

"It's not going to be looking for us, is it? Look at this posture, it doesn't look like a good thing. ”

"Nine times out of ten, it must be looking for us, hurry up and get in, don't let people see it. ”

Yi Fan whispered, fortunately, the other passengers on the board didn't know, they just watched the excitement, and the ship had already started, and the officers and soldiers at the dock had no intention of chasing.

After all, there are nearly 100 boats of all sizes on the lake, and it is like looking for a needle in the bottom of the sea to find the two of them.

"In my opinion, the world is about to be in chaos. ”

"What advice does the old gentleman have?"

An old man in brocade next to him sighed, and Yi Fan asked for advice.

The old man shook his head and glanced at Yi Fan and the others: "Don't dare to ask for advice, the two Dao Masters don't know, just a few days ago, the current saint was critically ill, and I am afraid that he will not live long." ”

"Several princes are young, and the saint has not set a prince, and the court is in chaos, and the only prince of the dynasty, Prince Sheng, entered Beijing early, saying that he wants to calm people's hearts, but who doesn't know his wolf ambitions? There are even people who want to let King Sheng take the throne and suppress chaos, which is really ridiculous. ”

After the old man finished speaking, he looked at the two of them deeply and said, "The two Dao Masters can know that these officers and soldiers are looking for you. ”

Yi Fan's face changed: "I don't know who the old gentleman is?"

"It doesn't matter who I am, the Taoist doesn't have to doubt it. The old man chuckled and said, "The prefect and I are also classmates, and I am entrusted to take care of the two of them." ”

"Nowadays, the saint is critically ill, and some people rush to the doctor, looking for supernatural powers everywhere to extend the life of the saint, but most of them can't get a good end when they go, either they are beheaded or put in prison, and the two of them do it themselves. ”

After speaking, the old man turned around and left.

It turned out that he was going to arrest us and go to the capital to treat the emperor.

Yi Fan and the two looked at each other, and it took a long time to come back to their senses, and then quickly returned to the room.
