Several people suddenly came over, and Liao Jianzhong whispered: "Pay attention in front!" Those people were all in black, wearing Dongchang robes. At first glance, there was nothing unusual about them.
Those people were a little surprised when they noticed that we were looking at them, and quickly turned to another intersection. I saw someone inside who looked very much like Little Pony, and I couldn't help blurting out: "It seems like Little Pony is in there!" They looked at me and said, Hua Shichun was about to give chase, and Liao Jianzhong said: "Let's pretend to go back to Zhenfu Division, and they will come again."
We walked steadily towards the Zhenfu Division. I subconsciously touched the handle of Xiuchun's sword, and the dagger in my boots was also there, while Liao Jianzhong and others strode forward without seeing anything unusual. I felt ashamed, but also calmed down a lot.
The road back to Zhenfusi was not very long. We passed the intersection quickly. The sky was getting brighter and we could see the surrounding things clearly. We glanced over there and found a long street. There was no one there, and there were high walls all around. Most people couldn't get away. They were confused and looked at each other. Gu Dayou said: "These people are quite capable. After a while, they disappeared!"
After he finished speaking, Liao Jianzhong shouted "Be careful". He had already pulled out the spring knife. He jumped up and unfolded the knife in the air like a fan. However, he heard a crackling sound. When he looked carefully, there were many things scattered on the ground. Shaoyinzhen, we were so surprised that we pulled out our knives, but there was no one in front of us. Liao Jianzhong held the knife in his hand and said, "Since you dare to do something here, why don't you show up and see me?"
The sound was so breathy that we actually felt like it was roaring. I only heard someone laughing and saying: "I respect you for being a man and being kind to my brothers. This heavy rain has failed to drive out the pear blossom needle as much as possible. The road is facing the sky, and everyone goes in his own way. The future is long, and we can see each other again!"
The laughter gradually faded away, and we thought about chasing after him. Liao Jianzhong waved his hand to stop him and said: "This person is Liu Qingfeng. His best skill is the Rainstorm Pear Blossom Needle. He didn't use all his strength. Let's let him go for now!" Then he said: "It seems that these people are gone. What can our brother Ji do?"
I thought of Yin Hua. It was she who rescued Yu Qi. She must be on the same side as Liu Qingfeng. I sighed in my heart. I really didn't want to go against her, but what could I do? Hua Shichun asked: "What is he doing here?" Gu Dayou asked: "Have you forgotten? Yu Qi has been accompanying Mr. Ma in Zhenfu Division. What can they do? They are all in the same group!"
Liao Jianzhong thought for a moment and said: "It seems that we did make a mistake. Let's go back to Zhenfu Division as soon as possible!"
I guess the reason why Liu Qingfeng came here must be related to Father-in-law. That day we surrounded Liu Qingfeng in Ruyifang, waiting to be arrested, but Eunuch Xiaoma came and said that he had been ordered by Eunuch Wang Yue, the Superintendent of Ceremonies, to let us go. Now it seems that they must be a group. of. I couldn't figure it out at the time, how could the eunuchs in the palace become friends with pirates? Later, after experiencing more things, I realized that even strangers can still become friends because of common interests!
We rushed back to Zhenfusi. The guard at the door was already from Dongchang. It was quiet inside. We walked straight in. No one stopped us, but there were more people on guard. When we arrived at the inner courtyard, the same thing happened in the courtyard. There were more people from the East Factory. The main door of the meeting hall was open and there was no sound at all, but Lin Sheng and Ji Liaofan could be seen warming the brazier.
There were no signs of fighting here, but the side room was locked and there seemed to be someone inside. Liao Jianzhong looked around and said loudly: "Eunuch Lin, Ji Qianhu, it's so cold, please give us a brazier for our brothers!"
Lin Sheng stood up and said with a smile: "My family is still thinking about my family. Haha, come here, put a brazier in every house. Commander Liao has spoken. We must give face to our family no matter what." A group of people responded, and then Then they started to deliver the brazier, and sure enough, there was someone in the wing. Upon closer inspection, they turned out to be the imperial guards from last night. It must have been that they were all detained.
Liao Jianzhong motioned for us to go into the house together. Ji Liaofan kept warming himself by the fire, and his fat face was sweating a lot. Liao Jianzhong did not look at him, but said to Lin Sheng: "Eunuch Lin, why is Little Ma's father-in-law missing?" Lin Sheng looked at Ji Liaofan, then looked at us, and said softly: "Little Ma's father-in-law has escaped!"
Liao Jianzhong was not surprised and said, "Liu Qingfeng and Yu Qi rescued him, right?" Lin Sheng nodded and said, "We just left, but our family couldn't fight him, so we had to let him go!" Liao Jianzhong walked a few steps and looked at Ji Liaofan lowered his head and said nothing, "Ji Qianhu, what are you going to do?"
Ji Liaofan looked up at Liao Jianzhong, his forehead was covered with beads of sweat, and his face was red from suppressing it. After a long time, he smiled and said: "I remember when we entered the Imperial Guard, we swore an oath in front of the statue of Grandpa Guandi to dare to do anything. Now. Now At this point, Ji has nothing to say and can handle it as he wants!"
Er saw me and said with a smile: "Master Liao, you won't laugh at my knowledge, are you not as good as this young man?" Liao Jianzhong frowned slightly, looked at him and said: "People's ambitions are different, he is ignorant Young man, you are an upright man. Although we have different political views, Ji Qianhu has never been afraid of life and death and has always been a role model that we respect." Ji Liaofan shook his head and said: "Who is not afraid of death? I am an old man and a young man. Ji is also an ordinary person and wants to live a peaceful life, but I am not that big-hearted and cannot accept the impermanence of black and white. When Master Hongzhi was alive, although we were suppressed, we were happy and short-lived. In just six months, you, Mr. Liao, are a meticulous person. Let’s see what happens next? It’s difficult to change from bad to good, and it’s easy to change from good to bad. Ji accepted his fate but refused to admit defeat.” Liao Jianzhong was shocked and wanted to speak, but he didn’t know. What to say. I looked at Ji Liaofan's serious face, which was very different from the smiling face in the past, and I felt a little more respect.
Lin Sheng sighed and said, "Ji Liaofan used to collude with Wang Yue, the Superintendent of Ceremonies, and Ma Jing, the Royal Horse Supervisor, and they were plotting against each other. Dongchang has long known about it. Now, under the orders of Eunuch Liu, the eunuch of the Supervisor of Ceremonies, he immediately took them into custody for investigation. Be clear and deal with it later!”
Ji Liaofan stood up, laughed, and said: "I didn't want more brothers to fall, so I didn't take action. Eunuch Wang and Eunuch Xiao Ma are really on good terms with me. If I say that I have evil intentions, I'm afraid it's just to incriminate me." , since Ji is staying, then I will go with you!"
Lin Sheng waved his hand. A school captain had already come forward and wanted to put a torture device on Ji Liaofan. Liao Jianzhong said angrily: "Does the dignified governor need to wear a torture device?" The school captain was so frightened that he quickly stepped back. Ji Liaofan smiled and said "Why make it difficult for them? Just wear it when it's time to wear it." Lin Sheng nodded and said, "Thank you, Mr. Ji, for making it possible!" Then with a straight face, he said, "Take the prisoner to the East Factory immediately! Leave it to Eunuch Gu Dayong to deal with it. !" Liao Jianzhong was shocked and wanted to speak, but he couldn't. You must know that most imperial prisoners are detained in the prison of Jinyiwei, but this time Ji Liaofan was sent to Dongchang. Anyone who understands knows that there is a place to go. No reply.
Ji Liaofan showed no fear, raised his head, straightened his back, and strode away. The three of us watched him leave with complicated thoughts.
The sunshine in winter is warm, and the city of Beijing, which has been sleeping all night, gradually regains its vitality. The heavy snowfall in recent days has whitewashed the city and also restricted people's travel. The auspicious snow heralds a good harvest is the yearning and flattery of the literati for the future, but for people accustomed to city life, they still hope to see the sunshine. People facing the street opened the courtyard door and tidied up the courtyard. I saw my neighbors and were about to exchange a few words with each other, but they were all driven back to their houses by the yamen of Shuntian Mansion. People who woke up from the panic were surprised to find that the streets were full of official officials. People from the Five Cities Military and Horse Department patrolled back and forth, warning the occasional pedestrians that it was forbidden to go on the streets today, and all the city gates were under martial law, and the inside and outside were isolated. Only flying crows could fly over the city. The beginning of the day , it was a tense day.
Ordinary people don't know what happened, but they can guess that something happened. And I know what happened at this time, but I don't know what will happen next. At this moment, I was wearing a brand new python robe, leading my subordinates, rushing to the west of the city to capture Qintian Prison Supervisor Zheng Yang Hong and his family.
