Chapter Seventy-Three: Where's the Night Brocade?

A horse-drawn carriage drove in a hurry in the night, and finally stopped in front of the Tokyo Prison, where an old man and a young man stepped down from the carriage but were stopped by officers and soldiers at the door. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ๏ฝ‚iqugeใ€‚ ๏ฝ‰๏ฝŽfo

"Stop, who's coming. โ€

"Chen Shengzhi, a scholar of Jixian Palace, passed on the decree of the Holy Lord, and immediately released Wang Shu and Ye Jinyi. Chen Shengzhi raised his hand and put the holy decree in front of everyone, showing his majesty.

"Prime Minister, please. The officers and soldiers guarding the gate saw the bright yellow holy decree in Chen Shengzhi's hand, and hurriedly put away the weapons in their hands to make way for them.

When the jailer received the holy decree, he hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "My lord, my subordinates are guilty. โ€

Seeing this, Ren Ziyu, who was following behind Chen Shengzhi, understood that something must have happened to Wang Shu and Ye Jinyi, and hurriedly asked, "What happened to the horse and my eldest brother?"

The jailer raised his head with some trembling and looked at Chen Shengzhi, who had a poor face, and said, "The horse is fine, but the night brocade clothes are ยทยทยทยทยทยท He fled. โ€

"Impossible!" Ren Ziyu took a sharp step forward and stared at the jailer.

"My lord, what my subordinates said is true. Night Jinyi fled not long before the adults came, and I was about to go to tell the news, but I didn't expect the adults to come. The jailer knelt on the ground tremblingly, for fear that Chen Shengzhi would punish him for this, and pointed to the jailers on the side and added, "If you don't believe it, you can ask them, and they can all testify." โ€

"Yes, my lord, Ye Jinyi did escape, and the cell where he was being held was separated from the others, and we only found out when we brought him food. The jailer named Wang Quan hurriedly explained to the jailer, he knew very well that they were all grasshoppers on a rope, and if one person had a problem, everyone would not be able to save it.

"Teacher. Ren Ziyu saw that Chen Shengzhi had been frowning, and anger spread on his face, so he hurriedly spoke carefully.

When those jailers heard Ren Ziyu calling Chen Shengzhi, they also cautiously looked up at Chen Shengzhi's face, hoping that Chen Shengzhi would not pursue this matter again and give them a way to live.

After a long time, Chen Shengzhi said in a deep voice: "Ye Jinyi is innocent, and he can't escape, and now that the Holy Lord's decree has been issued, you must not mention this matter again from now on." โ€

"Yes. The jailers finally breathed a sigh of relief and nodded their heads in response.

"Lead the way, and I'll personally pick up the Lieutenant Horse. "Chen Shengzhi.

"Yes, sir, please. โ€

Wang Shu never imagined that it would be Chen Shengzhi who took him out, even though Chen Shengzhi came here that day to ask him about the details of the incident, but he only thought it was an interrogation, and never thought that Chen Shengzhi would help him.

The world is too impermanent.

It wasn't until Chen Shengzhi and Ren Ziyu took him out and got into the carriage that Wang Shu finally relieved himself a little, sat on the bumpy carriage and bowed deeply to Chen Shengzhi: "The Prime Minister is very grateful for his great grace in clearing his grievances. โ€

Chen Shengzhi hurriedly helped Wang Shu and said, "Don't use a horse." This matter is old and confused for a while, don't believe the words of others, and it hurts the captain of the horse. Instead of blaming, the colt thanked me and tormented me. โ€

Wang Shu said: "If it weren't for the fact that he was too suspicious, he wouldn't have made these incidents clear that day. But I want to know, the mastermind behind this matter has been found out?"

As he spoke, Wang Shu glanced at Ren Ziyu without a trace.

Chen Shengzhi said: "Thanks to Ziyu, who brought us to find those Xixia people, we learned that they had a personal enmity with the owner of the night young village, so he set up such a plan to blame the owner of the night young village." Don't worry, I have already explained this matter to Your Majesty, and Your Majesty ordered me to come and pick up the horses overnight. โ€

Wang Shu asked, "What about the Western Xia people?"

Chen Shengzhi sighed and said regretfully: "It's a pity that those Western Xia people came prepared and let them escape. โ€

When Wang Shu heard this, he lowered his head and chuckled: "It's a pity. โ€

When he said these words, he deliberately accentuated his tone, Chen Shengzhi didn't understand the reason, but Wang Shu couldn't let go of the fact that those Western Xia people framed him, so he said: "Put down the horse, the sky net will be restored and not leaked, and those who should be caught will never be able to escape." โ€

Wang Shu nodded, but in an instant, he thought of something, and suddenly raised his head and asked, "What about Jinyi, why did you only take me out?"

Hearing this, Chen Shengzhi's gaze wandered a little, and he didn't know how to speak, Ren Ziyu saw this, and said slowly: "Big brother is not very comfortable, go back first." โ€

"Ren Ergongzi told the truth, there is no need to hide it. I know Jinyi, he will definitely wait for me to leave with me. When Wang Shu heard Ren Ziyu's words, he first sneered and spoke with an extremely cold face.

"Since the horse insisted on asking, the old man would not hide it, and the young master of the night had already left before we brought the holy decree. Chen Shengzhi finally spoke.

In other words, Ye Jinyi escaped from prison without permission.

"My lord is saying that Jinyi escaped from prison. It's a big joke, if he wanted to escape from prison, he could have escaped at the time of the incident, why should he stay in this prison for so many days. Wang Shu laughed angrily.

"I know that the lord of the night village is noble, but this matter is absolutely true. If the horse has doubts in his heart, he will ask carefully when he sees the owner of the young village in the future. It's just that the old man came here today, in addition to picking up the horse, he still came to say goodbye to the horse. Chen Shengzhi was not angry, but spoke calmly.

"Where are you going?" asked Wang Shu with concern.

"I have been an official for decades, I am a little tired, and I am a little confused, and I can no longer bear the responsibility of the prime minister, so it's time to rest. Chen Shengzhi sighed, his words were full of tiredness, "Besides, there is a Jiefu in the DPRK now, and the old man can rest assured." โ€

"Now that the Lord has decided, he will no longer keep it. Wang Shu arched his hand.

"Ziyu, do you really have no intention of entering the office?" Chen Shengzhi looked at Ren Ziyu, who was sitting next to him with a calm face, with great regret in his words.

"Teacher, Ziyu only wants to assist my eldest brother now, and Ziyu has no idea about becoming an official in the court for the time being. But if the teacher needs it, the student will be there at any time. It seems that he can't bear to be too disappointed by Chen Shengzhi, so Ren Ziyu said this ambiguously, and only said that he had no idea for the time being.

"Well, you future generations have your own ambitions, and the old man doesn't force it anymore. Chen Shengzhi had a relieved smile on his face, but the regret in his eyes did not retreat.

In his opinion, Ren Ziyu is a rare talent, and it is a pity not to enter the court as an official, although he wants to avoid the court for the time being, but he is still thinking about this court everywhere.

The title of the gold list, the glorious lintel is the ideal of people who have studied hard for ten years, and making this Great Song Dynasty more and more prosperous is the greatest ambition of those who have entered the dynasty as officials.

Wang Xu did not return to the princess's mansion, but went directly to Ziqiyuan, he must know whether Ye Jinyi is safe at this moment, otherwise he will not be able to settle down. Ren Ziyu was worried about Ye Jinyi, and also went to Ziqiyuan with Wang Xu.

Because it was already the third watch, Wang Shu and Ren Ziyu knocked on the door for a long time, and only then did an old servant in a thick cotton jacket open the door inside.

"Master Pony, Master Ren, why are you here at this time?" The old servant was still wrinkling his face, half-squinting and carrying the lamp to open the door, but when he saw the person standing at the door, he suddenly woke up most of the time from drowsiness.

"Has Jinyi come back?"

"Is my eldest brother back?"

Wang Shu and Ren Ziyu asked while hurrying directly to the inner garden.

The old servant was dazed by this question, and hurriedly followed the two of them with the lamp, and said, "The master has not come back since he went out that day. โ€

Even so, Wang Shu and Ren Ziyu did not stop, they still walked into the inner garden quickly, and kicked open the door of Ye Jinyi's room.

"What's the situation?"

There was a person lying on the bed in the night brocade room, and when he heard the movement, the person got up suddenly, and saw three people directly kicking the door and breaking in, and he was a little blindfolded.

"Wei Qing smiled, why are you here?" Ren Ziyu heard that this was Wei Qing's laughing voice, and said in surprise.

Wei Qingxiao saw that the people who broke in were Ren Ziyu and Wang Xu, so he put on a dress and got up, raised his hand and rubbed his eyes and said lazily: "He is not here, the room is empty and empty, so I will move in." โ€

He was about to stretch, but suddenly stopped, as if he couldn't believe his eyes, he walked quickly towards Wang Shu and Ren Ziyu, stopped in front of Wang Xu, and stared at him in surprise: "Why are you here?

Wei Qing smiled and saw Wang Shu and Ren Ziyu looking at each other, and both of them had extreme disappointment and worry on their faces, he had a faint bad premonition in his heart, and he hurriedly asked, "What about Ye Jinyi, didn't he come back?"

But no one answered him.

In the next three days, the people of Wujing Mountain Villa and Boya Ju searched almost all the places where Ye Jinyi might be, but unfortunately, it was fruitless, and Ye Jinyi seemed to have suddenly evaporated from the world.

It's not a trivial matter that Ye Jinyi is missing.

Before, he didn't say goodbye, but this time it was too strange, whether it was time or place. Besides, if he was going to travel far before, he would definitely say hello to the people of Ziqi Yuan or send a book to the people of Boundless Mountain Villa.

However, this time, Ye Jinyi did not leave a trace of clues.

It was also at this time that Wei Qing smiled and thought of a person, a person who had a deep hatred for Ye Jinyi.

Chu Xiuyi was about to go to see Ye Jinyi, he had already heard the news that Wang Shu and Ye Jinyi had been released from prison, and he didn't go to see Ye Jinyi immediately because he guessed that Ye Jinyi would take the initiative to come to him.

However, this time he seemed to have guessed wrong, he waited for three days, but he didn't wait for Ye Jinyi, who was usually steady, suddenly became a little out of proportion because of this incident, and he was very flustered.

Once, he only cared about whether Yu Langji would beat him, and he didn't get close to him to this point, and they hadn't seen each other for ten years.

However, these days, he always had a strange feeling, he felt that Ye Jinyi seemed to be able to read his mind and understand his next move. And he can always easily understand the purpose of Ye Jinyi and know what he will do next.

It was as if they had suddenly gone from being rivals to being the ones who knew each other best, even though they had always been in a very delicate relationship.

It was precisely because of this feeling, and it was precisely because Ye Jinyi did not come to him as Chu Xiuyi expected this time, that Chu Xiuyi felt that something had happened.

Even though, he was reluctant to believe his own conjecture.

But before he could go out of the room, a man kicked open the door and broke in, and the man was dressed in a crimson robe, and the bright red stinged his eyes hurt.

Before Chu Xiu could speak, a cold sword with a cold light was already on his neck.

Chu Xiu tilted his head slightly, glanced at the sword body that reflected his face, and looked at the man with disdain: "Master Wei, I don't remember that I provoked you." โ€

That person was Wei Qingxiao, who came here to look for Ye Jinyi.

The corners of Wei Qing's lips hooked slightly, and the strength of holding the sword was a little bigger: "Where is the night brocade?"

"Where is Ye Jinyi?" Chu Xiu lowered his head slightly and repeated this sentence, suddenly, he sneered, just for a moment, the sword in his hand was already unsheathed and rested on Wei Qingxiao's neck, "Shouldn't I ask you this question? The person who killed him in prison was your palace master of the Mei Palace, not me." โ€

"I only ask you, did you take him away from prison?" Wei Qing glanced at the cold sword with a smile, and asked without changing his face.

"He's gone?"

When a person's sanity is burned by a sudden anger, his reaction becomes a little sluggish.

Just like Chu Xiuyi at this time, the first thing he heard was "Where is Ye Jinyi", but because he only remembered to fight back, it took a long time to react that Ye Jinyi was missing.
