My bamboo horse is a broken sleeve

Chapter 42 The Bad News Comes

However, I was exhausted from running all night, and now, I feel a little helpless and sad.

In the past two days, I didn't even dare to waste the time to stop and drink, so naturally I didn't eat a grain of rice.Xue Yingfeng couldn't take it any longer, so she went into a deserted forest and found the most secluded place, thinking of sitting down to rest a little and eat some dry food to fill her stomach.

A few days ago, he was a glorious little prince, wearing brocade clothes and eating delicacies from mountains and seas, but now, in a blink of an eye, he has ended up in such a place where he hides and dare not look up...

Is it retribution?But what unreasonable thing did he do?Want to accept such a cruel punishment from God?

Is it possible...

"Xue Yingfeng, what are you thinking about! How could it be because of him..." Xue Yingfeng shook her head, hoping to get those complicated things out of her mind.After gulping down the biscuits three or two times, he rubbed his hands on the dirty clothes casually, got up and was ready to continue on his way...

But as soon as he stood up, his left leg seemed to suddenly lose strength, and he couldn't stabilize himself and fell down again.

"Huh?" Xue Yingfeng's heart skipped a beat, as if thinking of something.

He also knew that he had an injury on his leg, but because Boyong had treated it, he didn't pay much attention to it, and the wound didn't hurt too much.But he didn't notice until now that his left leg has been sore and weak for the past two days. At first he thought it was just caused by the exhaustion of running around, but now he can't even stand firmly. It seems that the situation is not that simple...

Xue Yingfeng tried a few more times, and finally managed to stand up barely, but just after taking a few steps, she fell heavily to the ground again.

Sure enough, it was still too much forcing myself.

……

"Your leg, I'm afraid it's about to break."

What! ?Hearing this, Xue Yingfeng suddenly raised her head to look at it. At that moment, she couldn't help thinking of all hopelessness...

"Yes... it's you..."

Although the other party had always covered his face when they met before, he could recognize those murderous eyes at a glance.

The so-called—is the road to Yuanjia narrow?

"Hmph, it seems like God, you are not going to give me a way out..." Xue Yingfeng raised her eyes to look up at the sky with difficulty, and couldn't stop laughing.

"It seems that you have already realized something." Si Chenghan slowly drew his sword, and the sound of the sword being unsheathed announced that death was approaching, which was particularly ear-piercing.

Well, it's a relief.Xue Yingfeng couldn't hold on any longer, lying on the ground, and closed his eyes in despair, he was... really tired...

But if you die, how can the Xue family be redressed?

"Wait a minute!"

The moment the sword light cut through the wind, Xue Yingfeng blocked Si Chenghan's movements in time...

"What! The county prince's mansion has been sealed up, and the county prince and princess have been imprisoned in the Ministry of Punishment?" Han Yan looked at Steward Liu in disbelief, how could there be such a big change in the few days he was out.

"Not only that, now that a search warrant has been issued, Young Master Xue is being wanted by... the whole country!"

"Could it be that the crime of King Ziying has been settled?"

"The emperor didn't issue an edict, but... judging from the situation, it's probably close."

"How long has this been going on?"

"Probably the day before yesterday."

"The day before yesterday? But he just..."

"What happened to Young Master Xue yesterday? By the way, I also heard that General Gao brought a large group of people to Lu Shangshu's mansion yesterday to fetch someone. It seems that the one who was taken was Young Master Xue."

"Then Yingfeng was taken away?"

"This... I don't know about the small ones."

Ever since Steward Liu informed Han Yu about Xue Yingfeng, his brows had been deeply furrowed and could not be relaxed for a long time.Obviously that person was still in front of him yesterday, how could it be... Han Yan still feels in a trance, as if everything that happened yesterday was just a dream.

Xue Yingfeng's kisses that came to an end did not leave any real feeling to Han Yan, it was as if he had arrived in the vicissitudes of life in an instant, and in the end of time, but it seemed that nothing had happened, just like flying birds in the sky. time, there is no trace.

Ever since Xuexue left in the wind, Han Xie's mood has been unable to calm down for a long time, and his heart is in a mess, and he doesn't know where to sort it out.Xue Yingfeng's appearance couldn't be removed from his mind for a long time, and he couldn't get it out of his mind. He didn't want to think about it, but he couldn't help thinking about it, fidgeting.This seemed to be the first time he was so at a loss, all normal laws seemed to be disturbed.In the blink of an eye, it has turned from day to night, he forced himself to fall asleep, this is his habitual solution, thinking that after waking up, everything will be the same...

……

Without a moment's hesitation, Han Ye immediately walked out the door.He planned to go to Lu's mansion, to know that Xue Yingfeng was fine now, and to calm down his hanging heart.

"Xiao'er!" Han Yan just walked past the main hall when his father stopped him, "Where are you going in such a hurry?"

"Boy is planning to go to Lu's residence." Although he was in a hurry, Han Yan was still respectful and polite to his father.

"No need," Han Tinggu seemed to have guessed what Han Yan was thinking, "I've already confirmed with the Lu family that General Gao didn't find anything yesterday."

"But... Even so, the child is still worried."

"Then you can go later, I want to talk to you about the county king first."

"...Okay, please tell me, father." Han Yan tried his best to suppress the restlessness and uneasiness in his heart.

Han Tinggu thought about walking in the inner hall, and said: "I found out that several small magistrates on the other side of Ziying City seemed to testify in front of the imperial court, and concluded that the illegal salt incident was done by Zheng Zheng. On the other hand, the relevant accounts have also been investigated, and it is probably impossible to get rid of the charges this time and escape unscathed."

"It's impossible for Uncle Xue to do such a thing." Han Yu said firmly.

"Yes, I know what kind of person Zheng Zheng is. But the people who want to harm him have a lot of background, and this game is also carefully arranged. In a short period of time, I am not sure that I can find their flaws." Han Ting Gu was also like Han Yan at this time, with a sad expression on his face, "The news came this morning that the emperor personally arraigned the king of Ziying County. Now it seems that the evidence is convincing, and the holy will cannot be guessed. what result."

"My child understands that time is short. I have already sent someone to search for the whereabouts of the prefect of Ziying. This person may be an important clue. However, if the time is too late, the only way to find him is Ling..."

"That's true," Han Tinggu looked a little hesitant, but his tone was very firm, "Although this move is dangerous, I can't just watch Zheng Ze die wronged." Turning to Han Zhuo again, he ordered: "After you've been to Lu's house, you should start working on this matter. If it's really a last resort, that's the only way to go."

……

Han Yan walked alone on the long street, the first month was coming to an end, the atmosphere of the new year gradually faded, and people returned to the usual busyness.

Just now I learned from Lu Bingwen that Xue Yingfeng fled and probably left Nylon City by now, and Han Yan felt more at ease.Most of Xue Yingfeng's friends are in Jinlun City, outside the city he can turn to Boyong, and Mu Yuning who is far away in Jing'an, but now going back to Ziying to find Boyong is tantamount to surrendering snare.

After Han Yu concluded that Xue Yingfeng would seek refuge with Mu Yuning, he immediately sent a team of his most loyal subordinates to Jing'an to search all the way.Firstly, in order to protect Xue Yingfeng secretly, and secondly, Han Yang himself has a lot to say to him.Han Yan originally wanted to leave immediately to find Xue Yingfeng, but since there were still important matters to be dealt with right now, he had to suppress the impulse in his heart.

Before returning to the mansion, Han Zhuo stopped by to visit Boyong's apprentice in Jincheng, and checked his injuries, and he has basically recovered.

After a while, it was another half day.Vendors on the long street have already started packing their things and preparing to go home.The gates of the night market began to be lit up one after another to attract customers.Now Han Yu began to understand a little bit, what Lu Bingwen often said in his daily life, "Life is easy to end, and the world is impermanent, and the world will turn bad." What does it mean?

……

Three days later, late at night, the surroundings of Nylon City should have been quiet.But only in the courtyard of the Ministry of Justice, the flames were soaring into the sky, the thick smoke was wanton, and it was noisy.Almost half of the staff of the Ministry of Criminal Justice was mobilized to fight the fire, and they went on and on, stumbling, but the fire still did not weaken, and even spread to the surroundings endlessly, startling the surrounding people, unable to fall asleep for a long time...

In the early morning of the next day, the news spread throughout Jincheng. No matter where Han Ye went, he would always hear people talking about it, but there were different opinions. Everyone told different stories, but most of them It was probably yesterday that the king of Ziying County committed suicide in fear of crime because of the private salt incident. After the princess of the county, who was imprisoned in the Ministry of Punishment, learned about this incident, she set fire to her death.

When the matter was still undecided among the people, a notice was posted in the downtown area of ​​Nylon Center. Among the people watching, one person read aloud: "In the winter of the 23rd year of Jingping, the criminal minister Xue Zheng was in the prison of the Ministry of Justice. Died suddenly, the guilty minister's wife, Su, set fire to the Ministry of Criminal Justice..." As soon as the voice fell, the people around began to discuss again, "Hey, it's really like this!" "How could such a good person as King Xuejun die like this?" "I see, it wasn't a sudden death, but a suicide in fear of crime! Why do you care.

"There's more to come, keep reading!" one of them said. "Yes, yes, what is written next." The people next to him echoed.After the discussion became quieter, the man slowly read again: "Xue Yingfeng, the son of the criminal minister, died in the pursuit. This caused the people to discuss again, and the voices were much louder than before." Little Prince Xue also died?How did this die, I don't understand! "

……

Hearing only a few words, Han Yan's heart sank, and he immediately ran towards the crowd, frantically pushing away the people around him, regardless of his status as the prince of the state.How is it possible to face the wind.He seemed to be desperately trying to prove that it was just his own hallucination, but there were fourteen characters written in black and yellow on a yellow background: Xue Yingfeng, the son of the criminal minister, died during the pursuit.
