My bamboo horse is a broken sleeve

——Two hours ago——

"Yu Ning, why are you asking me out now? You still have to go to such a hidden place."

"Han Yan, now that the matter has come to an end, I won't hide it from you anymore." Mu Yuning's face was heavy, but Han Yan was confused when he heard it.And what he did next made Han Yu even more at a loss.

Mu Yuning knelt down on one knee in military salute, "Han Zhuo, I beg you, save Bingwen!"

"Bingwen? What's the matter with him?" Han Yu didn't know why, "You get up and talk first." Then he went forward, ready to help Mu Yuning, but was rejected.

"Listen to me first. There is another behind-the-scenes mastermind behind the private salt incident, and that is Bingwen's father, Lu Shangshu."

"what?!"

"Besides, Si Chengao is currently hiding in the Shangshu Mansion."

Han Yan was a little dazed, originally thought that everything had settled down, but now the truth was somewhat unacceptable to him.

Lu Bingwen was actually involved in the private salt incident... Knowing the truth, Han Xie couldn't help recalling a long-ago event, when he accompanied Xue Yingfeng to the Xumei Garden of Baiya Temple three years ago to enjoy plum blossoms in the snowy season of the twelfth lunar month , that sneaky mysterious black shadow... Now that I think about it, it doesn't seem like a coincidence that Lu Bingwen appeared there at that time...

"How do you know this?"

"Bingwen told me everything three years ago, but I thought Yingfeng was dead at the time, and because of guilt, Bingwen wanted to commit suicide, so he didn't tell you everything. Back then, Zhang Cailiang was the one who tipped me off. I have just resigned and returned to my hometown, and all the crimes will be borne by me, but I beg you to save Bingwen..."

"Then why tell me everything now? If you don't want the Lu family to be arrested, you can kill Si Chengao secretly, so that no one will confess to the Lu family again. What's the use of begging me now?"

"It's because of Bingwen...he knows that Yingfeng is not dead, and he has returned to Jinlun. He has been talking about atonement these days, to make up for the mistakes he made. I can't persuade him, I'm afraid he will die Impulsive, he did something stupid... However, although Lu Shangshu is guilty, the crime is not as good as Bingwen. He was also oppressed by his father, so..."

"Then how do you want me to help you?"

"I want... let Yingfeng come forward...to persuade him." The more Mu Yuning spoke, the more confident he became.

"Impossible!" Han Yan immediately refused, "Yingfeng has already suffered enough blows. You have seen what kind of reaction Yingfeng had when he knew that he was deceived by Si Chenghan. Tell him the truth, don't you want to force him to death?!"

"I know...but...but if you leave Bingwen alone like this, even if things don't come to light, with Bingwen's cowardly temperament, he can only die...Horror, because of the brotherhood we have had for so many years , you save him. I am willing to bear all the consequences."

Seeing Mu Yuning begging so humblely, Han Yan couldn't help being moved.Without Mu Hongning, they wouldn't be able to come back to Nylon.What's more, what Mu Hongning said just now is not an exaggeration of Yi Han's understanding of Lu Bingwen.

Han Yan calmed down, and stepped forward to help Mu Yuning up.

"I really can't leave him alone, but I can't make up my mind on this matter, I have to agree with Yingfeng. If Yingfeng refuses, then I will maintain the same position as him."

"it is good……"

……

"How could this be..." When Han Yan was talking about it, he kept holding Xue Yingfeng's hand tightly.But now he could clearly feel a layer of cold sweat breaking out from Xue Yingfeng's palms.

"I said Yingfeng, what kind of friends are you making here! Why are they all such virtues!" Boyong was really angry when he heard this, and directly said what he was thinking.

"Bo Yong!" Han Yan sternly shouted at Boyong, and Boyong immediately realized that his words might irritate Xue Yingfeng, so he consciously shut his mouth and stopped talking.

"Actually, Bingwen can't be blamed for this, he was also forced to do nothing, and he has repented now..." Han Yan smoothed things over at the side, and at the same time comforted Xue Yingfeng in a disguised form, "Yingfeng, look..."

"I'll go see him."

"Have you really thought about it? Don't force yourself"

"Well... I've been through so much..."

"Si Chengao is still in the hunt, and the emperor hasn't withdrawn the arrest warrant for us. After a while, I'm discussing with Yu Ning and arranging for you to meet." Han Yan sighed and looked at Xue Xue with distressed eyes. Yingfeng, "Don't think too much, no matter what happens, I will always be by your side."

"Let me help you to rest."

……

Just when the figures of Han Lu and Xue Yingfeng were about to disappear in the front hall, a person broke into the door.

"Hanzhu! It's not good! Bingwen has surrendered himself!"

Han Lu and Xue Yingfeng were stunned for a while, Xue Yingfeng turned around first, "What did you say?!"

Mu Yuning tried his best to suppress his emotions, and it took him a long time to say a complete sentence: "Bingwen ran to the emperor himself to confess to the Lu family while I was away, and now...he is now locked in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. ...The emperor also sent the forbidden army to arrest the Lu family together...Han Li, what should I do..."

The time was approaching, and when the sun was almost at full height, the outside of Shangshu's mansion was already surrounded by the forbidden army.

"What's going on here!" Si Chengao confronted Lu Shangshu angrily.

"I... I don't know either! This..." Lu Shangshu seemed a little flustered.

"Now we can only play by ear, but if you betray me at this time, your Lu family will not be safe!"

But before Lu Shangshu could respond, the forbidden army rushed into the backyard of Lu's house.

"Lord Sicheng, Lu Shangshu," the commander of the forbidden army shouted, "I would like to trouble you to come with us."

Seeing the imperial army entering the mansion, the servants were in a mess, and some of them had already started to flee in all directions.

"Old...Master, what...what's the matter!" Mrs. Lu hurried over and was really surprised by the scene in front of her.

"What are you doing out here! Go back!" Lu Shangshu said to his wife.

Si Chengao stood opposite the commander of the imperial army, calm on the surface, but he was already thinking about various ways to break out of the encirclement.

The commander of the Imperial Army looked at Si Chengao's lack of response, and said, "Master Si Cheng, please cooperate, so as to save everyone trouble." Even so, there was no sense of respect.

Si Chengao stood in the distance for a moment, then took a step towards the direction of the imperial army.

"Thank you, Master Sicheng, for your compassion."

But as soon as the commander of the Forbidden Army finished speaking, Si Chengao strode forward, pulled out the sword of the guard of the Forbidden Army, turned back and jumped to the side of Lu Shangshu's voice, in the blink of an eye, Lu Shangshu had already become a hostage under Si Chengao's knife .

"Master!" Mrs. Lu was the first to react, and hurried forward, but was stopped by the servants.

"If you dare to come over, I will kill him." Si Chengao threatened everyone with wide-eyed anger.

"Your Majesty Sicheng doesn't know yet," the commander of the imperial army smiled, "Master Lu next to you has already been accused early this morning. The emperor ordered me to bring you back together."

"What!" Lu Shangshu wrote Si Chengao with an expression of disbelief.

While everyone was still in shock, Madam Lu rushed towards Si Chengao, trying to push him away.But Si Cheng'ao was now at the end of the road, and the emotions that had been suppressed for a long time were also on the verge of erupting.Before Madam Lu touched him, the sharp knife passed through his abdomen, and bright red blood dripped from the tip of the knife.

"Ma'am!!!" Lu Shangshu blushed from the shock of this scene, and screamed heart-piercingly.Instinctively, she stepped forward and wanted to hug Mrs. Lu, but was pulled back by Si Chengao, blocking him in front of her.

The servants cried together, screamed and fled.The soldiers of the Forbidden Army also began to move around.

"Si Chengao, don't go too far, you have nowhere to go, and you're still going to be captured!" Seeing this scene, the commander of the Imperial Army finally lost his patience.

"Delusion! How can our company, Cheng Ao, become a prisoner of you people!"

The commander of the imperial army stopped wasting words with him, and with a wave of his left hand, the soldiers of the imperial army in the front row took a step back, and the archers in the back row stepped forward in unison.

"Now the emperor Longyan is furious, it doesn't matter whether the person I bring back is dead or alive."

Seeing this scene, Si Chengao's eyes were already red, he didn't care too much, and could only fight to the death.Using Lu Shangshu as a shield, he jumped up to the roof.

At the same time, the general of the forbidden army also signaled to shoot arrows.For a moment, hundreds of cuts passed through the clouds.There were dozens of arrows in Lu Shangshu's body, Sicheng Aojiao landed on Lu Shangshu, moved slowly, and finally simply abandoned him and jumped off the eaves from the other end.

Lu Shangshu rolled all the way down from the roof.He was seriously injured and died at the scene.

During this interval, Si Chengao did not escape the dense sword rain, and was hit by arrows several times.

"Chase!" the general ordered.

……

It was late at night, and I occasionally heard the night wind blowing outside the window, the lights in the house were still on, and the voices of people were silent.

Mu Ling'er sat by the table, put her elbows on the table, and stared at the dancing flames on the oil lamp with her hands on her face. In this position, she has remained unmoved for a long time, except for her eye feathers that fluttered from time to time.

Boyong sat aside with his arms folded, occasionally sighing.

This scene has been going on for two days.

"Hey……"

"Master," Mu Ling'er tilted her head and cast a sidelong glance at Boyong, "can you please stop moaning."

"Hey... what can I do? It's really a wave of ups and downs..."

"I don't know what Brother Han and Brother Xue are talking about."

"Hey……"

"Master!" Mu Ling'er slapped the table as if she couldn't bear it any longer, "Apart from hey, you can't use your brain to think of a way!"

"I...I can't think of a way..."

Mu Ling'er gave Boyong a disgusted look, then leaned back on the table impatiently, resting her cheeks on her hands, staring at the flames as if she had lost sight of it, "It's impossible to repeat the old tricks. Taking the medicine created the false appearance of "suicide in fear of crime". Only with the help of Mr. Li from the Criminal Department, we were able to rescue Uncle Xue. But Mr. Li is famous for being upright. At that time, he also believed that the Xue family had wronged, and the Han family He tried his best to persuasion before agreeing to help. But this time is different, he will definitely act impartially and will definitely not help us."

"Hey……"

Hearing this annoying sigh, Mu Linger rolled her eyes helplessly.
