After the rebirth, the empress took the tragic script of Meiqiang

Chapter 77 Trapped Beast

"Where?" Ye Qinghuai didn't notice that his voice was trembling.

Qin Yang paused for a moment and said: "I met a school captain in the Taiyuan Hospital. He said that he had fought side by side with Shaodong's family in Donglinmen this afternoon. Originally, Shaodong's family and a few people relied on the terrain to stop the pursuers.

in Donglinmen, but then the head of the Criminal Department led a team of patrolmen to come in from outside the door. The Shaodong family was attacked from both sides, and they gradually fell into a disadvantage. Then news came from Chengtianmen that the right yamen guard was transferred, and the Shaodong family was attacked by the Criminal Department.

The boss took him away."

Ye Qinghuai frowned and asked: "Who is in charge of the Criminal Department?"

Qin Yang recalled it and replied: "The surname is Zheng, Zheng Zhaodong."

There is indeed such a person in charge of the Criminal Department, and as far as Ye Qinghuai knows, this person is Gu Shihai's confidant.

It seems that Lu Yanchen fell into the hands of Gu Shihai and Xing Bu.

Ye Qinghuai crossed the threshold, took the horse tied outside the door, jumped up, and said: "Let's go to the Criminal Department."

——

Gu Shihai's residence was only two streets away from the Ministry of Justice. On his way to the Ministry of Justice, Ye Qinghuai took a look at the door of his house from afar at the intersection and saw three or five carriages parked in front of his door, and many young men were busy leading the horses.

It’s so exciting to catch a train.

At this time, there are still so many guests in Gu's house. It seems that tonight is also a difficult night for Gu Shihai.

The Forbidden Army has changed so much that besides Luo Zichang, there must be many people who are dissatisfied.

"Qin Yang, you said earlier that the person who told you about your husband's whereabouts had fought alongside him. What was his name?" Ye Qinghuai asked as he approached the criminal department.

Qin Yang thought for a while and replied: "Chu Dingguo."

Ye Qinghuai was a little shocked and asked again: "He said he fought side by side with Mr.?"

"yes."

"He actually betrayed him?" Ye Qinghuai murmured.

Qin Yang suddenly reined in his horse.

"Your Majesty! Look there!" Qin Yang pointed to the gate of the Ministry of Justice at the end of the road.

Ye Qinghuai looked in the direction he pointed and saw a simple carriage parked at the entrance of the criminal department. There was a circle of patrolmen surrounding the carriage, each holding a torch in their hands, illuminating the gate brightly.

Then, Ye Qinghuai saw a tall man walking out of the gate of the Criminal Department being escorted by two officers.

From a distance, she could tell at a glance that it was Lu Yanchen.

Even though he was in rags, his black clothes were full of knife cuts, his hair was in a messy bun, and his long hair covered half of his face. The exposed half of his face was also covered in blood, and his hands and feet were shackled.

, the walking steps were already unsteady, and he was almost half-dragged and half-carried out.

Ye Qinghuai still recognized him at a glance.

She felt a sudden pain in her heart.

At this time, Lu Yanchen was like a trapped animal that had been seriously injured. The patrolmen surrounded him, but they all kept an arm's length away from him, as if they were on guard against his possible counterattack at any time.

They were going to put him into that carriage and transport him to who knows where.

Ye Qinghuai kicked the horse's belly and urged the horse to catch up.

"Master Lu, if you don't want to get on this carriage, you have to walk to Dali Temple. We don't care. We're just afraid that Master Lu, you won't be able to walk with such heavy shackles."

The catcher's words were respectful, but his tone was full of ridicule, which seemed to suggest that a villain was getting his way.

Lu Yanchen slowly turned his eyes and glanced at him.

The catcher shut his mouth for a moment, feeling as if he had been struck by a knife.

He took a few steps back and ordered his subordinates: "Why don't you let Mr. Lu get in the car quickly? They are still waiting at Dali Temple!"

Today, the story of Lu Yanchen's victory over a hundred people in Donglin Gate has spread throughout the entire Criminal Department. The patrolmen were a little frightened by him and did not dare to step forward.

Seeing that his subordinates were so cowardly and angry, he looked around, grabbed a long stick from the man next to him, and said to Lu Yanchen: "Master Lu, I have said all the good things about you.

Don’t be ignorant.”

As he spoke, he struck Lu Yanchen's feet hard twice with his long stick.

A burst of horse hoofbeats sounded quickly. Ye Qinghuai galloped across the street, reined in the horse in front of the crowd and shouted: "My people, who among you dares to touch him even a little bit?"

The light of the torch swayed, and everyone looked up to see Ye Qinghuai on the horse. The firelight reflected the sharp edges of her face, and her slender neck made her figure sitting on the horse extraordinarily tall.

"See Your Majesty!" Someone kneeled down holding a torch.

Then the others knelt down intermittently. The catcher finally knelt down too, and placed the long stick at his feet, seemingly reluctantly.

Ye Qinghuai got off his horse, walked straight to Lu Yanchen, supported his somewhat stooped figure with one hand, and said with enthusiasm: "I'm late, sir. You've suffered."

When Lu Yanchen saw her, his eyes lit up. He looked at Ye Qinghuai up and down, and finally focused on Ye Qinghuai's hanging arm.

He opened his mouth, but no words came out.

In the firelight, Ye Qinghuai noticed that his lips were white and covered with cracked marks.

Without making a sound, Lu Yanchen held Ye Qinghuai's arm with his backhand and grabbed it hard, looking at her with questions and distress in his eyes.

It was as if he was asking her why she was injured like this.

Ye Qinghuai's heart suddenly seemed to collapse.

She thought that when he saw her, he should be happy to see a savior, or relaxed with relief.

He was injured to this point, his face was bloodless, and he looked haggard. Not only was he in a state of desolation, but half of his life was gone. If Ye Qinghuai hadn't arrived in time, he didn't know how long he would have been alive.

But when he first saw Ye Qinghuai, he was actually worried about her safety and injury.

Ye Qinghuai felt guilty.

She was like a naughty child, which made Lu Yanchen, a teacher and father, still worry about her until he was about to die, and he couldn't feel at ease.

"Sir, you are seriously injured. If you have anything to say, please go back to the palace." Ye Qing held Lu Yanchen's arm and choked with sobs.

She turned her head and looked at the arrester kneeling beside her, and said, "Why don't you open the shackles quickly?"

The arrester hesitated for a moment, kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty, this person broke into the palace without permission, massacred the Imperial Guards, fought with horses and weapons, violated orders and resisted arrest. He has committed several crimes and must be transferred to Dali Temple for trial and punishment."

Ye Qinghuai snorted coldly and said: "Lu Yanchen came to the palace under my secret order to escort him, but the Imperial Army deliberately blocked his way. He resisted the order and was disrespectful! Luo Zichang has been dismissed and punished. Why don't you arrest the right yamen guard of the Imperial Army for questioning?

, what are you doing to catch my escort hero?"

She was worried about Lu Yanchen's injury, so she didn't want to delay any more and spoke harshly.

"Killing for life is a cyclical cycle of nature. As the emperor, Your Majesty should set an example. How can you bend the law for personal gain?" The catcher bit his tongue and refused to let go.

"If you say so, I have killed someone. Go get a pair of shackles and lock me up too."

The catcher raised his head and looked at Ye Qinghuai. For a moment, Ye Qinghuai saw a trace of hesitation in his small, rolling eyes.

He actually had the idea of ​​shackles on the emperor.
