Leng Linjiang was extremely embarrassed.
He also said that if he kept talking, he would be arrested too.
Han Changmu coughed slightly: "Obviously you can't tell a saint like this. This crime is not enough to take down the uncle and nephew, and Concubine Li can't explain it."
Leng Linjiang was discouraged and said dejectedly: "Then what should we do? If we can't move them both, is it possible to bring trouble to Tuoba Fuyun?"
Han Changmu lowered his head, rubbed his fingers on the plain white paper, and whispered thoughtfully: "Since these four people are the convict's female relatives, then marriage can also turn into harboring."
Leng Linjiang's eyes lit up and he patted Han Changmu's shoulder heavily: "Yes, concealing stolen goods is a big deal."
Han Changmu clicked on the names of Chen A'ao and Chen Ayuan, and a strange thought suddenly came to his mind: "Do you think these two names look like sisters?"
Yao Yao nodded: "Like."
Leng Linjiang frowned and said, "You mean that the names of the four of them were not improvised."
Han Changmu breathed a sigh of relief: "It doesn't seem to be a last-minute idea. In fact, the simplest way is to capture the four of them and interrogate them strictly. But in this way, the people who are helping them behind the scenes will be alerted. If they are alerted, there is nothing they can do." Now we know what Xie Liangzhan wants to do."
Leng Linjiang punched the desk hard, feeling trapped in his heart and unable to relieve himself.
Han Changmu pointed at the two names and said: "If these two people are really sisters, then the surname Chen is most likely their real surname. According to the age of these two people and the year they were convicted, I think, They should have some relationship with the Chen family whose home was confiscated due to crimes sixteen years ago."
Yao Yao was stunned.
When she traveled through time, the first time she met the Chen family was in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment.
Then she entered Yeting and scattered with these people, never seeing each other again.
She opened her mouth, intending to say something, but she lowered her eyes and saw Han Changmu's tightly clenched hands. The joints on the back of the hands were protruding, making the skin turn white. Under the thin skin, the veins were bursting, and they were about to burst. come out.
Something suddenly hit her heart.
This man was so gnashing his teeth when he talked about the Chen family, he obviously had a deep hatred.
If he had known that she had been locked up in the same cell as the Chen family, and had entered Yeting as a slave, it was because of the help of the female relatives of the Chen family, he would not have killed her alive.
She suddenly swallowed her words and saw Leng Linjiang holding Han Changmu's hand.
She looked up and saw Han Changmu's eyes were red and his face was gloomy. He was obviously overwhelmed by hatred.
She secretly sighed happily, glad that she reacted quickly and didn't betray herself.
Leng Linjiang advised worriedly: "It's been sixteen years since I've been in the imperial court for a long time. I'm afraid everyone in the Chen family is dead. Please let yourself go."
Han Changmu suddenly relaxed, his face returned to normal, and there was still a cold and gentle expression between his eyebrows: "Yes, I am too obsessed."
Although he said this, his heart was still ups and downs, and he couldn't calm down after all.
When he thought that the people he rescued from Gaochangguo were from the Chen family, he regretted it.
When he thought that his brothers who lived and died together on the battlefield died under the Chen family's frame-up, he suddenly became filled with hatred.
His lips pursed straight, and he said after a long time: "After dawn, I will go into the palace alone to face the Holy Spirit and explain this matter.
, reported back to the saint exactly as he was. "
Leng Linjiang was stunned for a moment: "What do you want to say?"
Han Changmu smiled strangely: "Since they dare to use this surname so blatantly, then don't blame me for being ruthless and ruthless."
Hearing this, Yao Yao felt chills all over his body and trembled violently, feeling that he was destined to die.
Life is too big.
Leng Linjiang saw Han Changmu's gloomy face and knew that he couldn't get over the hurdle in his heart, so he stopped trying to persuade him and looked directly at his face and said: "Now that you have made a decision, just do it, I will definitely do it." Accompanying you."
Han Changmu thanked him emotionally: "Okay, let's rest early. There are only a few hours until dawn."
Yao Yao looked happy, she could finally sleep. She struggled to get up, but was held down by Han Changmu.
"You just rest here, I'll go to the back and squeeze in with His Highness the King of Han."
Yao Yao pinched his sleeves and shook his head desperately: "No, no need, I'd better sleep in the guest room. I'll choose the bed. I won't be able to sleep in another place."
"Really?" Han Changmu glanced at Yao Yao uncertainly, and let go of her shoulders: "It's okay, I have some choice of bed, and I can't sleep in another place."
Yao Yao sighed secretly, packed up his clothes, and walked into the night with Leng Linjiang.
She looked up at the sky. The deep sky seemed a little heavy, as if it was about to fall down in an instant.
She knew that after tonight, some things would quietly change, and some fates would go astray without even realizing it.
She and Leng Linjiang separated at the entrance of the guest house, one to the left and the other to the right.
Entering the room, she lit a candle, checked the incense ashes scattered on the floor, and found no footprints. She breathed a sigh of relief, and lit a few more lamps.
She took the small teapot to the bed, placed two weak candles on it, then opened the door and lowered the heavy curtain.
The room was extremely quiet, only her breathing could be heard.
She took out the half-palm-sized wooden sign from her sleeve. The copper bell under the sign was touched, making a clear but quiet ringing sound.
She was startled, and hurriedly covered the bell tightly, cut it off with copper scissors, and put it aside.
The problem is not the bell, but the wooden sign.
If Han Changmu hadn't walked too fast at that time, causing the row of wooden signs to touch each other, she wouldn't have noticed that the wooden signs were hollow based on the crisp ringing sound alone.
She took a shallow breath, took a dagger with a very thin but sharp blade, and slowly carved along the wood grain on the side of the wooden sign.
The blade of the knife penetrated the wooden sign from shallow to deep. As soon as the tip of the knife penetrated, she felt that the resistance on the tip of the knife suddenly became smaller.
She raised her lips and smiled, and it turned out to be empty.
The blade of the knife was slightly tilted forward. Her hand was extremely steady, and she controlled the blade to cut up and down along the side. She tightened her grip on the handle to prevent the tip of the knife from piercing the wooden sign too deeply, for fear of damaging the contents hidden inside. thing.
Just like that, Yao Yao held the dagger and cut all four sides of the wooden sign. With a slight break, the wooden sign was divided into two.
The wooden sign was indeed hollow, with a jade sign inside.
Yao Yao picked it up and looked at it carefully, and felt that it looked very familiar.
It was a jade sign that was white and translucent, with a four-petal plum blossom carved in the middle. The sign was not square, but seemed to have been carved into a random shape.
shape, and the surface of the jade tablet has several undulations.
Yao Yao frowned slightly and hurriedly took out a box from the secret compartment she had temporarily modified on the bedside, opened the clever mechanism lock, and took out the two things inside.
One is a jade hosta shaped like mountains, and the other is a carved jade plaque with a strange shape.
The crystal clear carved jade plaque was strikingly similar to the one she took out from the wooden plaque, only slightly smaller.
Yao Yao's heart was beating wildly, and he took a few breaths before calming down and placing the three things neatly on the bed.
She looked at it intently for a long time and put the three things together in order.
Sure enough, just like the first time she put the jade medal and hairpin together, these three things fit together tightly and did not fall apart no matter how they shook.
She looked carefully and found that there were indeed three extremely delicate and subtle buckles that held the three items together.
Until this moment, this key is truly complete.
Yao Yao lowered his eyes and looked at each other, feeling a little undecided.
She is well aware of the fact that carrying a jade is a crime. No one knows about it now, but in the future, she will be deeply involved in it. There is no guarantee that no one will know about it in the future. So, this thing will not be her life-saving Talisman, on the contrary, will be her life-threatening poison.
She concentrated for a moment, found a talisman bag, packed the three items, hung them around her neck and kept them close to her body.
To this day, she no longer dares to regard this object as an ordinary thing, and naturally she dare not treat it as ordinary.
Just when Yao Yao had an unexpected gain and was feeling uneasy, Han Changmu did not fall asleep. Instead, he knocked on Xie Mengxia's door.
Xie Mengxia covered her mouth and yawned and opened the door, with a plaintive look on her face: "Jiu Chao, you can't drag me to risk my life with you. I'm too old to bear it."
Han Changmu, as if he didn't hear Xie Mengxia's complaint, picked up a bottle of wine, walked straight to the dining table and sat down, pouring himself a glass.
Xie Mengxia was surprised and hurriedly closed the door and looked at Han Changmu inquiringly: "Jiuchao, what happened to you? You were deceived by a girl and lost all your personal property?"
Han Changmu glanced at Xie Mengxia.
Not to mention, your guess is pretty accurate.
He nodded listlessly and drank another glass of wine.
Xie Mengxia suddenly became energetic. The sleepy man had already run eight hundred miles away. He pressed Han Changmu's hand, with a strong sense of gossip written all over his face: "Quick, quick, tell me who it is." The girl is so blind, even though she doesn’t want you despite your wealth and appearance, who else does she want, to marry the Jade Emperor from heaven?”
Han Changmu took out his hand, took another sip of wine, and then spoke in a deep voice, giving an overview of the matter. Finally, he sighed: "I always couldn't figure out why she ran away, but now I understand, she was afraid that I would know her identity. , she is afraid of death."
Xie Mengxia stretched out her hand and waved it in front of Han Changmu's eyes. Seeing that he was still awake, she also sighed: "Jiu Chao, you have not failed anyone. It was you who rescued her from that fire pit. It was you who went through so many difficulties." It was absolutely impossible to bring her back, otherwise, how would she have the chance to recognize those people? She can't help you, but you can't help her."
After a moment of silence, Han Changmu suddenly murmured: "But me, how could I recognize the wrong person? No, she, how could she be from the Chen family?"
Xie Mengxia knew what was going on in Han Changmu's heart. He patted his shoulder hard and comforted him: "Jiuchao, don't blame yourself too much. These are not your fault. You didn't know anything at the time."
