Qiao Lin sat next to his mother, Yun Mengyi's face was haggard and pale, and a person would look like this when his spirit was tense to a certain extent. Yun Mengyi was still in this state when he was asleep, Qiao Lin's heart ached, and now he finally understood that this kind of day was not a good day in his heart, nor was it a good day in his mother's heart, was it a good day in his father's heart?

After Qiao Wen woke up, he kicked the door of the house vigorously, and there were three long-term workers outside the door who firmly blocked the door, "Little young master, don't make trouble, the second young master has ordered, you can't go anywhere!"

Qiao Wen stomped his feet in the house and scolded, "What is he? Why won't he let me go?" ”

The long-term workers were silent, they already knew Qiao Wen's temper, so they only pressed against the door with all their might.

Li Zhongying rode Chang Yun's fast horse, galloped to Liangjiagou, and arrived at the place at noon the next day. This place is full of grass and stones, and there is no place to hide, how could Qiao Kui be robbed by robbers in such a place without noticing it in advance?

The more she thought about it, the more strange it became, Li Zhongying continued to walk forward, walked a long way, and found that there were no traces of a fight on the road. The land is dry, and it shouldn't have rained in the past two days, so could it be that Qiao Kui didn't resist at all? Or didn't even have a chance to resist?

"No, as far as I know, he's not like that. But how can these phenomena be explained?

He thought again, could it be that Zhao Ming and the others came over before me and cleaned it up?

Suddenly, according to the sound of the horse's hooves sounded not far away, and was coming towards him from the front, Li Zhongying immediately turned over and dismounted, took off a six-foot silver spear wrapped in cloth from the side of the horse, and slapped the horse's buttocks again. Li Zhongying also rose two feet at the same time, and then stepped on the right foot with his left foot and glared at it, and then he took the wrapped silver gun and inserted it into a stone crevice, his body fell, the silver gun bent, but it was full of toughness, and immediately rebounded, Li Zhongying tried his best to climb to the top of the towering stone wall, lying on his stomach, and quietly watched who was coming.

Not long after Li Zhongying went up, the group of horses had already arrived, and the people sitting on the horse were all official uniforms and fast boots, which seemed to be from the imperial court. The leader is heroic, and the material of his clothes is not the same as that of others, it seems to be a head, Li Zhongying squinted his eyes and looked again, there was a gold medal hanging on the man's waist, and the word "catch" was held hostage on the card.

Li Zhongying secretly wondered: How can this person have a gold medal for divine capture, could it be that he is Zhao Ming?

Li Zhongying saw that these people were in a hurry, but they were going in the direction he came, Li Zhongying thought, "Didn't they find Qiao Kui?" After a while, the group of people from the imperial court had turned into a black spot.

Li Zhongying reversed the method just now and turned over. Looking at the dust raised by the horse's hooves, "I wouldn't have driven the horse away if I had known." Otherwise, I can go over and see what happens. ”

Just thinking about it, he suddenly heard a horse neighing behind him, and turned his head to see that it was the horse just now, Li Zhongying was happy from his heart, "What a good horse, I drove you away, and you actually came back!"

With that, he turned over his horse and chased in the direction of the gang just now.

It is said that after Zhao Ming received the report from Meng San, Qiao Kui's subordinate the day before yesterday, he immediately gathered people, and immediately set off to Liangjiagou without wanting to report from above.

After more than a dozen people arrived in Liangjiagou, they didn't see any traces of carriages and horses, let alone traces of vicious battles, Zhao Ming has been a head hunter for 20 years, and he can't see any clues, and he doesn't feel that his brain is messy. Then he thought for a moment: "Could it be that Brother Qiao was killed by a villain?" can only be explained like this, otherwise, with Brother Qiao's kung fu, how could he be robbed by some robber from Liangjiagou?"

Just thinking about it, suddenly a bird flew over in the air, and Zhao Ming looked at it again, it was not a bird, but a carrier pigeon. "In this kind of place, how can anyone pass on the book?" Zhao Ming's body was vertical, the horsewhip was waved, the carrier pigeon did not fly high, and it fell into the hands of the lighting after being rolled by Zhao Ming's whip.

Zhao Ming took off the new one on the pigeon's leg and unfolded it to take a look, "Oh no, I almost missed a big deal!"

After that, Zhao Ming put the letter away, released the pigeon, turned the horse's head, and ordered: "Go back quickly!"

It turned out that the letter was not written by someone else, but Zhao Ming's master Jin Lao, and the heartache was just a short sentence: Qiao Kui has been imprisoned, turn around quickly!

Zhao Ming rode on the horse, anxious, "How could Brother Qiao be imprisoned? Could it be that the imperial court has already sent someone over, but I am obviously non-stop, how can someone arrive before me? No matter, go back to Chang'an first!"

After arriving in Chang'an, he immediately sent his men to inquire about Qiao Kui's imprisonment, and when he returned home, he saw Lao Jin Zheng sitting safely in the hall, so he stepped forward and bowed: "Master, you said that Brother Qiao is in prison?"

Lao Jin stroked his beard and said, "Don't worry, sit down, sit down." ”

When Zhao Ming heard this, he had no choice but to do it, but he couldn't sit still, and he was anxious to know the specific situation of Qiao Kui.

Lao Jin said: "After you left, I also went out with you, went to Qiao's mansion, and saw Chang Yun tell his wife and children about Qiao Kui, and his wife fainted. His second son was also dizzy, and I saw that their family was in chaos, so I asked Qiao Lin to take care of his mother, and I planned to come back after a long time. Soon after I came out, I saw a child running like crazy, so I stopped him, and the boy yelled at me, saying, 'You stinky old man, get out of the way, don't stop me from saving Daddy', I knew that this should be Qiao Kui's youngest son. When I saw that he was impatient, and fearing that he would have something to do, I tied him to a tree, and told the people of the Qiao family to come here to look for him. When I saw him grinning and shouting, I stunned him.

"After I saw the Qiao family's long-term worker take him away, I turned around with peace of mind. As soon as I entered Chang'an, I saw the cars of the imperial court coming and going, and then I saw that they were going in the direction of the prison. I saw a familiar person among the officers and soldiers, so I asked him to inquire, and he also vaguely told me that he was talking about a dart head to be escorted back to prison, and then he wanted to inquire in detail, but he did not tell me more, but only told me that it was the famous dart head of the rivers and lakes. I knew it had to be Qiao Kui. Because I went to Ningxia through Liangjiagou, I flew the pigeon to Ningxia, and as I expected, you robbed the carrier pigeon. ”

The more Zhao Ming listened, the more anxious he became: "Then how did Brother Qiao get imprisoned?"

Lao Jin said: "I see, this matter is inseparable from the ministers of the court. ”

Zhao Ming was shocked: "Are you saying that Brother Qiao was framed by the ministers of the imperial court? But why?"

Lao Jin said: "Let me ask you, whose salt dart is Qiao Kui's escort this time?"

Zhao Ming said: "Of course it's from the imperial court." ”

Lao Jin said: "In the court, who is in charge of these salts?"

Zhao Ming said: "The history of the salt division." ”

Lao Jin said again: "Who is in charge of the history of the salt division?"

Zhao Ming thought for a while, and suddenly his eyes widened: "Guogong!"

Lao Jin nodded, and Zhao Ming said, "Could it be that Guogong wants to frame Brother Qiao?"

Lao Jin said: "Do you remember that Guogong originally wanted to set up a private department?"

Zhao Mingdao: "Of course I remember, it's called the 'Immeasurable Army', but that's illegal, so the emperor doesn't allow it." ”

Lao Jin said: "Even if it is not allowed, some people still have the courage to do it, and everyone is willing to bow down in front of power, but how many are sincere?"

Zhao Mingdao: "You mean that the state government opened this department privately?"

Lao Jin nodded, Zhao Ming didn't ask Lao Jin why he knew, because Lao remembered that no one knew, but there were very few things that Lao Jin didn't know.

Zhao Ming said: "Then what does this have to do with Brother Qiao?"

Lao Jin stood up and said, "Guogong once invited Qiao Kui to be the commander of this 'immeasurable army', but Qiao Kui refused. Do you know this kind of high-ranking person, no, he can no longer be said to be a high-ranking official, he is now in power. The emperor's seat is almost unstable, and the emperor is still sitting on the dragon chair because the prince does not want to sit now. Do you know what the consequences will be if you refuse an invitation from such a person?" Lao Jin turned his face to look at Zhao Ming.

Zhao Ming trembled, and the consequences were of course unimaginable.

Lao Jin said: "Qiao Kui rejected Guogong, and Guogong will let him die." ”

Zhao Ming slapped the table, stood up and said, "It's lawless, I want to enlighten the emperor......"

Lao Jin smiled: "Now the emperor is not what you want to see." ”

Zhao Ming said: "Could it be that he (Guogong) can still stop me?"

Lao Jin didn't speak, which was a kind of acquiescence.

Zhao Ming said: "He, he really dares to do this?"

Lao Jin sighed, fascinated and indignant: "Even so, I can't watch Big Brother Qiao die like this!"

Lao Jin said: "Come out!"

Zhao Ming didn't understand, but then he knew that Lao Jin didn't say this to himself, because that person had already turned over from the roof.

This person has white hair and a silver beard, is six feet tall, and carries a long weapon diagonally behind him, Zhao Ming looked at it, it should be a gun, Zhao Ming asked: "Who are you?

The man didn't seem to be afraid, and said indifferently: "I'm not from the same path as you, and if you come to arrest me in the future, I will accompany you, but now I don't want to fight with you!"

Zhao Ming was so angry that he was about to make a move, when Lao Jin suddenly stopped: "Don't be reckless! This person is not an enemy!"

Lao Jin arched his hand and said: "What a gold, mercury, spear and jade dragon, I actually found out when you lay on the roof for a long time." ”

That old man is the "Dulong Silver Gun" Li Zhongying.

Li Zhongying said: "You actually recognize me?"

Lao Jin said: "There are not many people I don't know, but fortunately I know you, otherwise if the apprentice makes a move, it will hurt the harmony." ”

Li Zhongying said with a smile: "Where did the officials and bandits get their harmony?"

Zhao Ming was shocked: "Are you a bandit?"

Lao Jin said: "This person is not only not a bandit, but also a righteous hero!"

Li Zhongying said: "You don't need to lift me, I only have one thing to figure out!"

Lao Jin said: "What's the matter?"

Li Zhongying said: "Where is Qiao Kui imprisoned?"

Zhao Ming was shocked: "Why are you asking this, what do you have to do with Brother Qiao?"

Li Zhongying asked rhetorically: "You don't know what kind of relationship I have with him? Then why did you send someone to look for me?"

Zhao Ming was confused when he heard this, "When did I call someone to find you?" I don't even know who you are!"

Lao Jin suddenly laughed and said, "I asked people to find you." ”

Li Zhongying and Zhao Mingju both looked at Lao Jin in surprise and confusion, and Lao Jin said: "Long ago, I told Chang Yun to find Li Daxia, he is Qiao Kui's friend and will definitely come to help." ”

Li Zhongying said: "Heh, it turns out that you did it! Okay, since I'm here, tell me where Qiao Kui's cell is?"

Lao Jin shook his head and said, "This, I don't know!"

Li Zhongying said: "What? I don't think you want to tell me!"

Lao Jin said: "It's not that I don't want to tell you, but I really don't know." Because of the 'heavenly prison' where Qiao Kui is imprisoned, except for the emperor, I am afraid that only the prince of the country knows. ”

Li Zhongying said: "Guogong is the bastard you just said, right! Okay, I'll go to him directly and ask, if he doesn't say, I'll cut off his head!"

Lao Jin saw that Li Zhongying was so reckless, so he hurriedly dissuaded: "Don't do it, the Guogong Mansion is heavily guarded, you go alone, like a sheep sending a tiger's mouth, even if you can get out of the way, then he will definitely torture Qiao Kui to tell your whereabouts, this will be a big deal!"

Li Zhongying asked, "Then what do you say?"

Lao Jin looked at him, and then at Zhao Ming, "Robbing the Law Field!"

As soon as Yun Meng woke up, Qiao Lin was sitting next to her, she looked at Qiao Lin, her son, her face was full of sorrow, she didn't know whether to call him or not, would her wake up make Qiao Lin even more sad? Why didn't she keep falling asleep and not waking up? So at least she wouldn't know how uncomfortable it would be for Qiao Lin, the poor child!

- Why am I so selfish! I can't be so selfish!

Yun Mengyi called out softly, "Lin'er." ”

Qiao Lin turned his head and saw that his mother was awake, and the sorrow on his face suddenly disappeared, and Yun Mengyi realized that he was asleep, and Qiao Lin would be sad.

Yun Mengyi: "Lin'er, how long have you been here?"

Qiao Lin smiled and said, "Not long after, my mother took a nap for a while, and I took it for a while." ”

Yun Mengyi knew that Qiao Lin was lying to him again, because the candles had been lit in the house, and it was pitch black outside the doors and windows, did Qiao Lin actually sit here for a day?

Yun Mengyi cried, her tears were always so much, and they were always so easy to flow out. I used to always have a smile on my face, but now I can't leave the corners of my eyes.

As soon as Qiao Lin saw her mother crying, she thought that she had thought about her father, so she persuaded: "Mother don't worry, my father is fine, Uncle Zhao has brought my father back, he... He's coming back. ”

Yun Mengyi wanted to sit up by herself, but she couldn't use her strength, Qiao Lin slowly helped her up, stuffed two pillows behind her back, and let her lean on.

Although Yun Mengyi knew that Qiao Lin was comforting herself, she couldn't bear to let such a sensible child be sad again, so she smiled and said, "Good boy." Let's wait for your dad to come back. ”

"Hmm. ”
