My bamboo horse is a broken sleeve

Chapter 36

——A month ago——

"Since the incident happened in Ziying, why didn't the emperor let the father investigate the matter?"

"Because this happened in Ziying." Han Zhuo didn't explain too much, just looked straight at Xue Yingfeng, his dark and deep eyes were faintly shining, as if conveying some tacit understanding to him.

"Could it be..." Xue Yingfeng frowned slightly, showing a little anger, "The emperor doubts the father? But the father is upright, it is well known..."

"Yingfeng," Han Yu stopped the conversation. He knew that Xue Yingfeng's emotions would inevitably be agitated at the moment. This matter involves a lot and is of great importance. It is not a trifling matter. Therefore, he did not speak sarcasticly as usual, but patiently persuaded Xue Yingfeng, " Just because I don't offend others, doesn't mean they won't offend me, you should understand this truth."

Although Han Yu said it in a cryptic manner, he knew exactly who the "that person" was referring to.

……

……

Carefully recalling every word and every sentence that he and Han Zhuo said that day, Xue Yingfeng already understood seven or eight points about the current situation.However, his father is a man who doesn't vomit, and has a stubborn temper. If the emperor doesn't let him intervene, he will definitely not intervene, but what he firmly believes in "the pure will be clear, and the turbid will be turbid" did not come to fruition in the end. effect.

Seeing Xuemu's reaction, he obviously didn't know about it, and thought that his father must have concealed it on purpose, so Xue Yingfeng only comforted Xuemu and sent her back to her room without saying anything.

His eyes fell on his right arm inadvertently, blood was dazzling, and a hint of disgust could not help showing between his brows.Not only is it related to the sale of private salt, but it has already involved his father...

"Then they will naturally not let you go." Xue Yingfeng said to herself, her eyes narrowed slightly, and the light in her eyes was blurred.

He seemed to understand that all these things were related from the very beginning. First, Han Yang brought up the "smuggling of private salt" incident, then he was assassinated, and now his father is trapped in the Ministry of Punishment...

Behind this, there must be a conspiracy.

……

Xue Yingfeng thought that what Han Yan said was right, if I don't offend others, it may not be that they won't offend me.It is absolutely impossible for him to sit still and wait for death.Although his father was determined not to intervene, he was different.Thinking that if his father was wronged, if the day came when everyone in the palace was imprisoned, it would be difficult to reverse the case.So he thought he had to act now.

To put it bluntly, although Xue Yingfeng usually looks like an idle prince, but when he does things seriously, he is vigorous and resolute.As soon as he determined his target, he immediately led the horse "Ben Jing" and hurried out of Nylon City...

When approaching Ziying, he had driven half a day's journey. At this moment, dusk was approaching, and Xue Yingfeng felt a little hungry. He happened to pass by a soup and cake shop, so he got off his horse and prepared to eat something to fill his stomach.

"Ma'am, a bowl of Yangchun noodles."

"Okay, just wait a moment!"

When a bowl of steaming Yangchun noodles is served on the table, there is no doubt that in this cold day of the first lunar month, there is no doubt that it will be timely. Even Xue Yingfeng, who is used to rich clothes and fine food, can't help but quickly move his chopsticks.But when he was burying his head in the wolf, he accidentally raised his eyes and saw a person, the purple gold robe flew past, and the setting sun cast a touch of beauty...

"Hanzhu!" Xue Yingfeng shouted towards the door.

The man also looked towards him, his face full of doubts.Han Zhuo tied the horse outside the store and walked towards Xue Yingfeng.

"Why are you here?" Xue Yingfeng asked Xiang Hanyu in confusion.

"Business." Han Yan replied lightly, and took advantage of the opportunity to sit on the opposite side of Xue Yingfeng.

Seeing Han Yan walking in, the proprietress immediately came over to say hello, "What does this guest officer want?"

"A bowl of Yangchun noodles."

"Okay!" The proprietress responded graciously.

Xue Yingfeng had subconsciously called out to Han Xi just now, but now, all the events of the past few days became vivid in his memory, and he was speechless for a moment.

"How's your injury?" Han Yan asked with a little concern.

Xue Yingfeng froze for a moment before she understood what Han Yan was referring to, "Small injuries, nothing to worry about."

"The people of the patrol team lost the assassins that day, and there is no clue yet."

"I know." Said Bi Xue lowered her head against the wind and continued to eat her own noodles.

.

There was another moment of silence.

"Guest officer, here are your noodles," the proprietress yelled and served the noodles, "Guest officer, please use it slowly."

Han Yan didn't move his chopsticks immediately, "Are you here for uncle's business?" Han Yan broke the silence between the two.

"En." Xue Yingfeng didn't look up.

"Father also felt that something was wrong, so I came here to investigate." Han Yan continued.

"Thank your father for me."

.

"What are your plans now?" Han Yu asked.

"Go to Guangling, first check with the magistrate." Xue Yingfeng finally looked up at Han Zhuo, and asked nonchalantly: "The noodles are getting cold, don't you want to eat?"

"Oh. After being asked by Xue Yingfeng like this, Han Yan came back to his senses, and started to eat noodles just like Xue Yingfeng.

These two are not what they used to be.

After a while, Xue Yingfeng had wiped out the contents of the bowl, threw some broken silver and got up to leave.

"Where are you going?"

"Hurry up."

Han Yan also stood up, blocking Xue Yingfeng, "It's getting late, stay here today, and we will set off together tomorrow morning."

"It's urgent, it's better to go early and return early."

"Outside the county seat is the wilderness, it's not safe for you to go alone."

"That's right," the proprietress who came to tidy up said in agreement, "I heard that there have been fierce beasts appearing outside the city in the past few days. The woodcutter on this street went out to cut firewood a few days ago, and he hasn't come back yet. Maybe it was eaten by wild beasts!"

It gets dark quickly in winter, and in just a short while, the whole town is shrouded in darkness. This place is no different from Nylon City. There are only a few lights in the city. If you are riding in the city at this time, you should always pay attention to your feet. The road outside the city must be very difficult.Xue Yingfeng couldn't hold back anymore, so she sat down again.

In fact, he was not really in a hurry to hurry, but he didn't know how to face the current cold weather.Why didn't he want to stay with Han Yu, but he was afraid of being disturbed by his passion.He already knew in his heart that the current Han Yan was no longer his fellow traveler, he didn't want to bring Han Yan into it, and he was also afraid that he would fall into it again, that's why he wanted to escape in such a hurry.

"Just now I was so focused on traveling, I forgot I haven't congratulated you on your wedding yet." Xue Yingfeng said in a normal tone.

"It's just an engagement." Han Yan never thought that Xue Yingfeng would say such a thing, and explained subconsciously.

"It's not far away from getting married. It's estimated that good things will come soon after spring." Although Xue Yingfeng was pretending to be relaxed, Xue Yingfeng still didn't dare to look at Han Yan. I'll leave it to you to cook." I have no reason to approach you anymore.

"maybe."

.

The two of them just sat in silence like this, and they were speechless when the cold food was finished.

After dinner, the two chose an inn to live in, one room each.

"Tomorrow morning, you and I will go on the road together." Han Yan instructed.

"En." Then they each entered the room.

Even though Han Xie was no longer in front of her eyes, Xue Yingfeng's mood was still unsteady, that person was next door.Xue Yingfeng also restrained herself from thinking about it, but it was futile after all.Another sleepless night.

In the early morning of the second day, when Xue Yingfeng came down from upstairs, she saw Han Xie sitting on the table in the inn, already eating breakfast.

Seeing the snow coming down against the wind, Han Yan said to him: "There is nothing precious here, just make do with it."

After breakfast, the two started their journey again, galloping away without much conversation.

Just after noon, the two arrived in Guangling.

Ziying Twelve Continents, headed by Guangling.Although it is not as prosperous as Wangcheng, there are many shops on both sides of the street, red bricks and green tiles, pavilions with flying eaves, cars and horses, and pedestrians. It is also a prosperous scene.

The two of them didn't linger here, and went straight to the prefect's place when they entered the city.

Close to the government hall, the number of people becomes less and less, I don't know if it is also because of the majesty of the officials, or because of domineering.

The two were walking side by side, and in the middle, one could be seen wearing a black robe, coming from the direction of the mansion hall, with a bamboo hat hanging down the curtain, completely invisible.

When did my Ziying have such strange people.Xue Yingfeng said inwardly with disgust, but she also cared very much.

After a while, the two rushed to the mansion hall, got off their horses, and walked straight into the mansion.

"Who is so presumptuous!" The yamen servant stopped the two of them, "Don't you know what kind of place this is?" Obviously the yamen servant didn't know Xue Yingfeng, the son of Ziying County Prince.

Xue Yingfeng didn't care about being angry, and directly took out the Ziying Wang waist card and threw it to him, "Can I go in now?"

Knowing the identities of the two, the man immediately changed his tone and said in a low voice: "The little one has eyes but no eyes, so don't blame the county prince.

"Stop talking nonsense and take me to see your prefect."

"This.

"What's the matter?" Xue Yingfeng said impatiently.

"Reporting to the lord, the prefect may not be able to welcome the two elders today, so please come back another day." The yamen servant replied respectfully.

"What's wrong with the prefect?" Han Yan asked beside him.

"The magistrate. He is sick." The man was a little evasive.

"The magistrate is ill, so I have to go and see him." As Xue Yingfeng said, he strode inward, and was stopped by the yamen servant before taking two steps.

"What on earth do you want!" Xue Yingfeng lost her patience.

"My lord, to be honest, the magistrate was just taken away by a group of people." The man answered with clenched fists.

"What kind of person can take the magistrate away directly?"

"The little ones don't know where the group of people came from. They were all wearing black robes, and they looked very strange. It's just that when they took the prefect away, the prefect didn't resist. The young ones wanted to stop them. But he was reprimanded by the magistrate, and as for the other circumstances, I don’t know about it.” The yamen servant said in a straightforward manner.

"How long have they been gone?"

"Less than a moment."

Xue Yingfeng looked at Han Zhuo, and Han Yu Zai looked at him at the same time, obviously the two of them thought of the same place - the man in black robe just now.

After understanding each other, they immediately drove their horses and returned to the original road.

Walking to the market place, Xue Yingfeng found the figure of the man in the crowd at a glance, "Stop!" Xue Yingfeng shouted loudly.

Hearing the sound, that person was different from ordinary people, and immediately started to run away, and in this way, Han Luxue Yingfeng was sure that there must be something wrong with that person.
