Chapter 17 Escape
Chapter 17 Escape
Song Fengren carried his wife on his back and looked at the burning mansion on the top of the mountain. "Wu Jingui is so vicious!"
The boy wiped the tea off Jiao Niang's lips. Jiao Niang coughed violently a few times, looked at the three of them, and said a few words incoherently.
"You mean there are still people on the mountain?"
Song Fengren asked softly, and Jiao Niang tapped her palms a few times and closed her eyes again.
"Yuzhu, go up the mountain and see who did it. I will send Jiaoniang back to Jinxiufang right away."
Yan Lang changed into his nightgown and came to the roof of the Wu Mansion, looking at the man below, "The people from the Golden Branch Tower are really here!"
Master Wu looked at his son with an arrow in his chest and his breathing becoming weaker, so he quickly knelt on the ground and begged the man to save his son.
After several kowtows, the man remained indifferent and held out the memorial.
"How do you think about that?"
Standing on a high place, Yan Lang could only see Master Wu asking that man for help, but he couldn't hear what they were talking about.
Master Wu stared at the contents of the memorial and said, "You are trying to disrupt the government!"
"You just need to press your fingerprints, and don't ask about anything else."
Mr. Zhang was caught in a dilemma, with his son on one side and his deceased wife's younger brother on the other.
Wu Jingui coughed violently and blood gushed out of his mouth.
“Master Wu, if you hesitate any longer, I won’t be able to do anything about it later.”
I heard Wu Jingui whisper, "Please, Dad, I still want to live. I am still young and don't want to die."
"Master Wu, press it or not? Last chance!"
"I press!"
Master Wu shouted.
"If you had agreed earlier, none of this would have happened."
Seeing the handprint on the letter, the man pulled out the arrow, poured out the pill from the jade bottle, and put it in Wu Jingui's mouth...
"I won't die! My mission is accomplished. Don't forget our agreement of 10,000 taels of gold. You transport the gold to this location."
After groping around his waist for a while, his eyes became serious!
"lost?"
Reluctantly, he searched his body again and smiled coldly. It seemed that the thing was on that guy.
He took out a letter and threw it to Master Wu, whispered a few words to him and then left. Not long after he left the Wu Mansion, he ran into Yan Lang.
"Zuiyan Tower got the news really quickly. They knew I was coming to Wu Mansion in less than half an incense stick of time. I just don't know if you are the owner of Huangyu Tower or Hongyu Tower."
Yan Lang said nothing, but took out his topaz and shook it in his hand.
"If you really took it, hand it over if you know what's best for you!"
"If you win, you'll give it to me!"
The man drew out the soft sword from his sleeve and stabbed Yan Lang. Just when the soft sword was about to hit the vital point, a person appeared behind Yan Lang!
He blocked the soft sword that was so close at hand, quickly pulled out the dagger from his waist, inserted it into the man's chest, quickly pulled it out and repeated the process. You could clearly hear the sound of the knife resonating with the sound of the chest being thrust in and out.
"Jingyang, let him breathe first! I want to ask a few questions!"
"Jing..Yang..you are the prime minister's student——Lanyu Tower Master Chen Yanjun."
Yan Lang did not answer his question. He took out the jade bottle from Jingyang's waist and dripped a few drops of medicine into his mouth. His body, which was about to die, suddenly came back to life.
"Let me ask you, what are you doing in Xingwen County?"
"We are here to carry out the Prime Minister's mission."
"What mission?"
"I..." Before he could finish his sentence, the man bit his tongue and committed suicide.
"Owner, what should we do next?"
Jingyang searched the memorial from him and handed it to Yan Lang for inspection.
"First, go to Zuiyanlou and hang up the red lanterns. Then invite Zuiyanlou's best doctor in Xingwen County to Jinxiufang."
"Yes!"
Yan Lang went back to Jinxiufang first, leaning against the private room upstairs and thinking. When he heard the bustling conversation downstairs, he knew that it was Song Fengren who brought his beautiful daughter back.
Jingyang also arrived with a doctor at the same time.
Yan Lang leaned on his crutch, came downstairs, looked at the bloodstain-covered lady, turned his head and said a few words to the doctor.
After the doctor took Jiao Niang's pulse and assured Yan Lang again and again that she was not seriously injured, he asked everyone to leave the room.
Yan Lang looked at the boy kneeling on the ground and crying, "My wife will be fine!"
The boy looked at Yan Sheng in shock, and Song Fengren touched his head and assured him, "Your brother-in-law promises that nothing will happen to Jiao Niang."
Yan Lang looked at the number of people and found that Yuzhu had not returned yet, so he asked the boy to go to the private room upstairs to have dinner.
Seeing that the door of the private room was closed, he pointed to the room next door to Song Fengren and whistled to Yang Yang outside the door.
After looking around and opening the secret door of the room, the three of them came to the secret room.
Yan Lang opened the letter.
"All of these are people that the Prime Minister wants to impeach. Jinzhilou came to Xingwen County to let the Wu family frame Lord Jin. Be sure to hand this memorial to the teacher after returning to Beijing. I will go to the Wu family again as Jinzhilou later. Jingyang, you protect my safety. Tomorrow night, summon all the topaz guards of Zuiyanlou in Xingwen County to the headquarters. I want to capture all the people of Jinzhilou in Xingwen County in one fell swoop."
After several people discussed it, Yuzhu rushed back.
"Where are the people?" asked Song Fengren.
"The fire was too fierce to rush in. I only saw seven or eight bodies lying on the ground. Please punish the host."
Yuzhu half-knelt on the ground, took out the topaz order from her waist and asked to have it back.
When Yan Lang saw Yuzhu's topaz, he remembered that the topaz from Jinzhi Tower was still on the table in the elegant room on the top floor.
The boy stroked the topaz on the table, his fists clenched, his whole body trembling, his eyes full of anger.
He remembered! It was the people with these badges who rushed to the general's mansion and killed more than a hundred people in his family. If his father hadn't risked his life to escort him to the ship, his entire family would have been slaughtered.
Yan Lang was about to go upstairs to retrieve the topaz order when he was stopped by Song Fengren.
"I'll show you a symbol!"
He took out the rubbing mark and handed it to Yan Sheng.
"This is the symbol of the frontier garrison. How did you get it?"
Yan Lang asked with certainty after looking at it.
Song Fengren then handed it to Jingyang and Yuzhu, who both confirmed it.
“This is the sign that the brother made in the woods.”
"Do you mean that he is the son of a garrison garrison at the frontier?" Yan Lang asked back.
"I wasn't sure when I saw this sign. Now I'm sure that brother is the descendant of the frontier garrison. I suspect he is the orphan of the general."
"what!!"
Hearing Song Fengren's speculation, Yan Lang made a surprised sound, "Didn't they say that none of the more than a hundred people in the frontier general's mansion survived?"
"I will go back to Beijing and ask the teacher to investigate further. I will send a message if there is any news. For now, just pretend you don't know about this matter and don't tell your new bride."
......
"Could it be that my sister's husband is my enemy?"
"Crench!"
The door opened and Yan Lang appeared behind him, startling him. He put his hands on the edge of the table and looked him over.
"I didn't look at your face carefully just now, but now I see that you look very similar to an old friend of mine from the frontier. You should be about the same age as him. What's your name?"
"No name? My parents died early, and I have been begging for a living."
"Beg? How can you be so strong? If you don't want to talk about it, that's fine. I'm going to go see my pretty wife. After dinner, you can go see your sister."
Yan Lang got up and left.
Staring at the jade pendant that disappeared on the table, he was now certain that Yan Sheng was his enemy, and he swore secretly in his heart.
"When I grow up, I will avenge everyone in the General's Mansion!"
