Chapter 35: Sometimes I'm Not So Afraid of Death

The headed yacha handed the search document to the housekeeper. The housekeeper was old and dazzled.

He turned his head and looked as if he had been granted amnesty: "Yin Zhangshi, Yin Zhangshi, look at them, there is no king law!"

Hua Yue carefully read the document, pursed her lips and said, "The housekeeper doesn't have to worry, they came, and it was the son's permission."

"What?" Looking blankly at the eastern courtyard crowded with yamen, the housekeeper couldn't understand, "What is this..."

Huayue couldn't understand, but it was so easy to ask people to search her home, and it was written in the document that Li Jingyun still used "detained person". He just went out for a trip, how did he become a detainee?

"I'll go tell the master." The housekeeper hurriedly left, Huayue stood at the entrance of the East Courtyard, watching the people rummaging inside, and suddenly felt nervous.

That half red seal!

Taking a deep breath, she held up her skirt and wanted to enter the door. Unexpectedly, these people moved very fast. In the blink of an eye, someone came out with a red seal and said, "I found it."

The headed yacha opened the red envelope, took out the bank note, looked at the sun, and nodded slightly.

"Sir." Huayue stepped forward a few steps and said sternly, "This red seal belongs to me."

The yacha, who was about to leave, was taken aback for a moment, then glanced at her with a frown, and waved his hand: "Then you follow along to the yamen."

The messy and noisy footsteps rolled out of the front courtyard from the east courtyard, like a torrential rain hitting the lotus pond. After a while, the rain stopped, and only the panic-stricken servants were left in the courtyard.

Hua Yue thought that she would be brought to Li Jingyun's side, so she was calm, but when she arrived at Jingzhao Yin's house and was locked in the waiting hall, she found out that Li Jingyun was not there.

"Why are you here?" Liu Chenghe sat inside with a sad face, his eyes widened when he saw her.

Hua Yue was pushed into the fence, looked around a few times, and then smiled at him: "Half a red seal was found in the house, and I followed."

Taking a deep breath, Liu Chenghe asked in shock, "Is it found in the third master's room?"

The hand holding the cuff slowly tightened, Hua Yue's heart was beating wildly, she bit her lip and nodded: "I didn't put it in the right place."

"It's over, it's over." Liu Chenghe leaned against the wall with a headache and rubbed his forehead. "If you don't find the silver note in his room, it's better to say. If you do, then the third master will be doomed."

With a "crack" in her heart, she looked down at her fingers, her knuckles turning white: "In the end... what's going on?"

Xu Shi was also bored to be locked here, Liu Chenghe looked around and came over to explain to her in a low voice: "The red seal received by the third master is a rule on Guanshan, and he doesn't want to take it, but only if he takes the eldest princess. An Xin, in the end, it's just selling the eldest princess a favor, who would have thought that this time the eldest princess has a traitor by her side, saying that she is a slave of the previous dynasty, and she is trying to drag us into the water."

"Originally, we had the support of the crown prince, so we shouldn't be afraid, but this time the difficulty is that the third master received the money from the eldest princess, and the crown prince may not be willing to help. In addition, the eldest princess was dissatisfied with the third master's sudden concubine. It's really not that easy to get out of this place."

He sighed for a long time, and his tone was solemn, and Hua Yue couldn't help but feel uncomfortable when he heard it.

"Will he suffer in prison?" she asked in a very soft voice.

Liu Chenghe shook his head: "Who knows? It was supposed to be a court hearing, but for some reason, the gate of Jingzhaoyin Mansion was suddenly closed, and there seemed to be a lot of people outside."

The person in front of her was silent, her palm-sized face was pale and bloodless, her expression was relatively calm, but her eyelashes were trembling, her hands were twisted together, and her body was shaking slightly.

Just an ordinary helpless and pitiful little girl, what did the third master see in her?

Liu Chenghe shook his head and looked away.

"Young Master Liu." The little girl called him suddenly, with some hesitation in her voice.

He is also a man who has been in the world for a long time. Knowing what women usually say at this time, he directly interrupted her with a wave of his hand: "You don't have to worry too much, the third master has arranged it, even if something happens to him, it will not be a disaster. and you."

"Young Master has misunderstood." Hua Yue looked up at him, "I have something to do with my concubine, and I want to ask Master for help."

Liu Chenghe became even more impatient: "It's a matter of benevolence and righteousness to get you out of your body, what more do you want?"

After a slight pause, she smiled and said earnestly: "My concubine wants to find a chance to meet the former slave slave who complained."

"..." Liu Chenghe turned his head with a puzzled expression on his face.

The place where they are staying is the waiting court, and the person who will go to court will be temporarily locked here, so even if Huayue doesn't say it, that person will come here.

He looked at Yin Huayue and found that the little girl seemed to have lost her panic like before. She sat down on her knees with straw, her back was straight, her neck was elegant, and her eyes even shone with a light that he felt very strange.

Standing in the lobby with the doors and windows closed, Li Jingyun yawned sleepily.

There was still the smell of alcohol on his body, Jing Zhaoyin frowned at him and didn't dare to stand too close, only said: "It's still not a big deal."

"Why?" He raised his eyes. "Lack of personal evidence or lack of physical evidence? You can send it to Master Liu."

Is this a matter of witnesses? Liu Taiping's face turned green. First the servants came to sue the Xu family's son, and then the son of the general's house directly came to sue the eldest princess of the dynasty. His place was the Jingzhaoyin Mansion, not the Jinluan Hall. How could such a big trial be made? case?

Li Sangongzi is also crazy, and it has nothing to do with him at all. He just wants to bully the soft persimmon and use the Xu family. Who would have thought that he turned himself in directly, and also said that the eldest princess bribed him no less than five years in the past three years. million silver.

Can this be judged? He doesn't want his head, and his whole family still needs to live.

The head of the face next to the eldest princess hurried over. Standing here at this time, he could only say good things with a smile: "Third Young Master, this has nothing to do with the eldest princess, it's a red seal given by the little one."

"Where did you get the money, Mr. Liu dare not ask, does the sage dare not ask today?" Li Jingyun smirked, squeezed his hands into a cup shape, and saluted him, "Don't say it, Mr. Long He is also rich, and a lot of money is poured into the private brothel, if the eldest princess knows, I don’t know how it will end.”

Long Rin listened, and his face turned green: "You... how are you..."

"My favorite place to go is Qifeng Tower, but I bumped into you quite a few times." He sighed, "Princess golden branches and jade leaves, how can it be as red as Begonia among the branches?"

Liu Taiping coughed lightly and said sternly, "Before the court, don't talk about the wind and moon."

Li Jingyun turned his head and said lazily: "Then go to the hall, I still have the master waiting outside."

"This..." Liu Taiping glanced at Long Rin.

This person must come with the meaning of the eldest princess, it depends on what he says.

Long Rin's face was still a little annoyed, but his eyes were full of scruples when he looked at Li Jingyun. After hesitating for a while, he pulled Li Jingyun aside and said in a low voice: "Third Young Master, this is really unnecessary, the Xu family is a small family, why do you need to fight so much? Let your master know, you must be angry again. You I'll go back to the mansion today, and I'll clean up for you here, how about it?"

Li Jingyun replied without a smile: "Where are you going? I'm going to go to the Palace of the Golden Luan to greet His Majesty."

His face changed, Long Rin's eyes sank: "Third Young Master, some things cannot be changed by you alone, even if you want to take the blame for others today, Xu Changyi's crime of accepting bribes is all evidence, waiting for General Li. Come here, you can only go home."

It turned out that he was waiting for him here. Li Jingyun nodded and waved him away to look at Liu Taiping: "Then let's go to the hall while my father is not here."

The gavel was pinched in his hand and turned around, and landed on the long table with a "slap". The closed door was opened, and the yachai poured in from both sides, holding the longboard and shouting in unison: "Wei— -Wu-"

Liu Taiping looked embarrassed and looked at Long Rin, who nodded at him with a cruel heart.

With a long sigh, Liu Taiping sat on the throne. Just as he was about to let Xuan the defendant, he suddenly saw the head of the police rush in and said, "Sir, General Li is here, and the little one can't stop him."

When he finished speaking, he was pushed aside by the person behind him.

Li Jingyun's eyes darkened, but Long Rin on the opposite side laughed, and quickly greeted him and said, "The general is here, please bring the third son back, he is innocent, standing here, hindering Lord Liu's trial."

Li Shoutian stepped into the door, glanced gloomily at Li Jingyun, and then stopped at the trial seat: "Don't worry about me, I'm just here to listen to the hearing and see what mistakes my general's residence has made, so that if there is no imperial decree, I will be searched. Family."

His heart skipped a beat, and Liu Taiping's face was bitter. He wanted to explain that it wasn't what he meant, but he had already put on the black gauze hat, and he, who was sitting in the main seat, had no reason to bow his head again.

Holding a sigh of relief, Liu Taiping announced that the servants beside the eldest princess would come in.

"General Li, don't be too angry, this matter has nothing to do with the general's house, it's the Xu family that caused trouble." Long Rin stood beside Li Shoutian and smiled, "Look at this servant, it's also Xu Changyi who wants to sue, the third son is just acting out of anger, To advance and retreat with the brothers."

Li Shoutian looked suspiciously at Li Jingyun, who was standing beside the kneeling servant with an expressionless face.

"People in the hall, I will report the matter to be reported again." Liu Taiping clapped the case, the master next to him held a pen and did not intend to record any more confessions. Anyway, this servant said the same thing every time.

As a result, this time, the servant kowtowed and got up, but what he said was: "The servant turned himself in, the servant was threatened, and deliberately falsely accused the son of the Xu family. The son of the Xu family was wronged."

As soon as these words came out, the whole room fell silent.

Long Rin was the first to react. He jumped up and rushed towards the minion. Who would have thought that Li Jingyun's actions were more decisive than him, and the side of his body blocked the person.

"You continue to speak." He lowered his head and said, "Tell the truth, and Lord will keep you from dying."

The little slave trembled and stammered: "Someone brought a bag of silver a few days ago, and asked the slave to sue the Xu family master, and also asked the slave to say that the silver note was given by a girl, and the slave did not know. What do you mean, but that person threatened the servant that if he didn't obey, he would not be able to live, and the servant could only do it."

"Then why do you suddenly change your tune now?" Liu Taiping slapped the gavel, "Do you know that this is the crime of teasing the court?"

"The servant... the servant's conscience is uneasy." He kowtowed twice, his eyes rolling, "The servant is afraid that he will not end well in the end, and will drag innocent people into the water, so it is better to tell the truth and ask the adults to give you justice. !"

Long Rin was furious when he heard it, and he stepped forward and scolded: "You scumbag, how dare you speak out in this court!"

"Every word the slave said is true." He glanced at Long Rin in fear, and then buried his head again, "The slave is just a servant, why would you want to bribe Xu Gongzi? What's the benefit?"

"You..." Long Rin wasn't angry, but when he glanced at Li Shoutian who was standing beside him, he didn't dare to mess around. He could only take two steps back and winked at Liu Taiping.

Who would have thought that Liu Taiping didn't raise his eyes to look at him at all, and naturally didn't understand what he meant, so he only said solemnly: "In this way, the case can only be dismissed."

"How can this be voided?" Li Jingyun laughed, "Isn't there another crime of instigating slander? The lord will continue the trial. Let's see who Fangsheng set up a bureau to frame the Xu family and dare to threaten the people around the eldest princess."

Liu Taiping glanced at him and said, "Then we have to file another case and try again on another day."

"Where's the Xu family?" He smiled slowly, "Since the case can't be established, that person should let it go."

Seeing the serious-looking General Li from a distance, Liu Taiping didn't want to argue too much, he waved his hand to let the master write a document to report, and then asked the head arrester to lead a warrant to release him.

A menacing disaster ended in a farce in the end. Liu Taiping invited Li Shoutian to talk to apologize, and Li Jingyun followed the yacha and left the court.

"Third son." Ya Chai whispered, "The two next to you are still waiting in the waiting hall."

two? Li Jingyun nodded, thinking that Wen Gu Zhi Xu was also rushing over after hearing the sound.

As a result, he opened the door and saw Yin Huayue.

This man was huddled in the corner of the fence, with a small body. If it weren't for the light color of the clothes, which did not fit in with the dark wall behind him, he would hardly have noticed that there was another person there.

Angry and funny, he walked straight over to break the lock on the fence, squatted in front of her in three and two steps, and reached out to touch her forehead.

Hua Yue was closing her eyes to rest her mind, and she opened her eyes as soon as he touched her. Qing Ling Ling's eyes were a little confused, and she looked straight into his eyes.

"..."

When his heart collided, Li Jingyun withdrew his hand and scolded uncomfortably, "Why did you come here?"

After looking behind him, she pulled her sleeves to look at him again, to make sure there was no injury, Hua Yue let out a sigh of relief and said in a low voice, "They found the red seal in the East Courtyard, and the concubine followed. "

"What does it have to do with you?" He frowned. "You don't know how to run when the disaster is imminent, but you are still rushing to get in?"

"The red seal is because the concubine didn't put it in the right place. If the son is convicted because of this, it is also the concubine's fault." Hua Yue sat up straight, and caught a glimpse of the yacha standing outside the door, and quickly pulled his sleeve down. The voice said, "The concubine has already told the person. If he doesn't continue to sue, you will not admit that you have seen the red seal, and you can just say that it is the private money of the concubine."

Seeing her anxious appearance, Li Jingyun's eyes moved slightly, and he slowly sat down beside her while supporting the fence, and said melancholy, "I'm afraid it won't work."

"Why?" She panicked a little, stood up, grabbed his arm, and tried to persuade, "You have the general's mansion to protect you. As long as someone is willing to take the blame, they will definitely not pursue it."

"In this way, the master has escaped." He glanced at her sideways, "what about you?"

Hua Yue smiled and said to him rationally with her fingers crossed: "The concubine will only be detained for a few days at most. As long as you are fine, you can find a way to save the concubine. Besides, as long as the whistleblower shuts down in this case, There will be no more storms.”

She thought that the plan was flawless, but for some reason, the person in front of her didn't show any admiration. Instead, she shook her head and sighed: "Naive."

"There is a secret deposit on the bank note you received, and the origin is clear. How did you get the money from the private house? If you take the blame for the Lord, then you will be imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison. The Heavenly Prison is not a good place, and you will be punished."

He closed his eyes and looked at her, and said meaningfully: "You dare to go even if you are tortured?"

Almost without hesitation, Hua Yue nodded and said: "Those places, concubine body is more familiar than you, it's better to go to concubine body than you."

Eyes burning, determined and determined.

Staring at her for a while, Li Jingyun calmly turned his face away and looked away, the corners of his mouth raised uncontrollably.

He doesn't think he's a good person to coax, but when he thinks of how afraid of death this person is, and looking at her expression of resignation now, it seems that warm water suddenly surges in his heart, and the things that fell before are swayed by the warm water. , floated up again swayingly.

It doesn't seem like he doesn't care at all.

"Third Master." Liu Chenghe, who had been hiding by the side to watch the excitement, couldn't hold back, "Should we leave here first, and then talk to my sister-in-law slowly?"

Hua Yue was stunned, looked up in confusion and asked, "Can you leave here?"

Liu Chenghe smiled and shook his head: "Little sister-in-law, you are so stupid that you are always being played around by the third master. If we can't leave here, how could the third master come here to stay here and talk nonsense with us? ."

Li Jingyun turned his head and looked at him with half-closed eyes.

"...But, the situation doesn't seem to be optimistic at the moment." The conversation turned sharply, and Liu Chenghe said solemnly, "Anyway, go out first, and let's discuss it later."

After answering, Li Jingyun brushed the grass on the hem of his clothes, and picked up the small things beside him: "Let's go."

Hua Yue hesitated: "I don't need to stay here to explain the Hong Feng matter?"

"No." Li Jingyun turned around and walked out, "I'm hungry, go back to eat."

He and Liu Chenghe were walking in front, and the man behind him seemed a little confused, lagging behind.

"Then what happened to the slave?" Li Jingyun didn't rush her, but instead asked Liu Chenghe in a low voice while she didn't follow.

Talking about this, Liu Chenghe came to the spirit: "Third Master, you didn't see it, this little girl in your family looks like a witch, and when the servant came to the court to see her, he fell in love with her, what did she say? The slave just listens. The black man who is desperately trying not to tell him, turned his head and was willing to ruin his confession."

Li Jingyun frowned: "What did she say?"

"I was listening and didn't say anything, I just asked him if he could do me a favor and change his confession, and the servant agreed." Liu Chenghe scratched his chin, "There is nothing else but magic. can explain."

Something flashed across his mind, Li Jingyun pursed his lips, thoughtful. But only for a moment, he asked again: "Why did she do this?"

"Why else? I'm worried about you. When I heard that you had an accident, her face was as white as paper." Liu Chenghe shook his head, "I thought she was rather cold when I saw it earlier, but it's true love in adversity. ."

Upon hearing this, Li Jingyun raised his eyebrows lightly and his eyes brightened.

He didn't want to be too happy, so he just said with a stern face: "After all, it's the person who accepts it, and the heart is naturally attached to the Lord."

The pride in these words can't be hidden, if there is a tail behind him, I'm afraid it can stab a hole in the sky.

Liu Chenghe shivered in disgust, rubbed his arms and said, "Third Master, we are all people rolling around in Fengyue Field, can we not hang ourselves on a tree?"

Looking at him coldly, he shook his head: "People who have never raised dogs will not understand."

Liu Chenghe: "..."

What's the matter with the dog?

"Master is still a little busy here. You go to pick up Xu Changyi, and send Mr. Xu back to the house by the way." Li Jingyun pushed him, "Don't sway around if you have nothing to do for the past two days, and hold back the limelight."

"Hey..." Liu Chenghe wanted to protest, but the third master ignored him, turned his head and bowed halfway, and clapped his hands at Yin Huayue who was behind: "Come here."

The confused puppy chased after him obediently, looked up at him, his black and white eyes were clear and innocent.

He took a deep breath, but decided to shamelessly: "Getting out is getting out, but this case is not over, and a new one has been established. You go back to Madam now. If you investigate it, you must implicate Madam."

Hua Yue was stunned for a moment, her brows furrowed tightly: "That concubine temporarily moved out of the General's Mansion, and will come back when the case is settled?"

"It doesn't have to be." He touched his chin and said thoughtfully, "I just live in the East Courtyard. If there are any changes, I'll let you know."

It makes sense to think about it, she lowered her eyes and said in a muffled voice, "Thank you, son."

Putting his index finger against her forehead, he sighed and comforted: "It's okay, don't take it to heart."

Hua Yue didn't know that he turned himself in to take the blame, but she just thought that she had put the red seal in the wrong place, which led to him almost being convicted. How could she calm down in her heart, her face was dignified, but her eyes were slightly furrowed. red.

This time, he was really a little embarrassed: "Hey, isn't this all right?"

"My concubine didn't say anything." She pursed her lips stubbornly, "It's good to return home safely."

Li Jingyun couldn't help laughing and crying: "Why are your eyes red?"

"The wind blows."

"What about the tip of the nose?"

"cold."

She was a little embarrassed, raised her eyes and stared at him and said, "Young master cares about what you do."

With a chuckle, Li Jingyun glanced at her face, landed on her red lips, and murmured, "I think you feel bad for me."

After a slight stagnation, Hua Yue didn't start in embarrassment: "Young master is so good, what's the use of the next person's pain."

With a regretful sigh, Li Jingyun wanted to tease her again, but saw that the gate of the government office in front was open, and a few people walked in quickly.

The one at the head was dressed in a robe of stars, holding a compass in his hand, and his eyes were very cold. His stride was huge, and in the blink of an eye, he walked up to him and looked at him.

The smile on his face disappeared, and Li Jingyun looked back at him. Just as he was about to speak, he saw the man suddenly stretch out his hand and pull behind him.

The hem of Qianqing's skirt was raised, and the wide sleeves flew up. Before Huayue could react, she rushed forward.
