Chapter 83: On the Swallow's Nest Curtain
"Are you okay?"
Wei Qing shouted in a low voice, but there was no response. However, he was not in a hurry, frowned, and sat down against the cell. He took out a pot of wine from his arms and poured his head. He seemed to be in a bad mood.
"I know you didn't kill people. It's nonsense to say that you are the main culprit of the Xuanzhou Temple's destruction case. If you really go against the court, you wouldn't have appeared in Chang'an City so openly. Yesterday, the assassin who killed Wang Quanyi was a man in the world and had nothing to do with you. Unfortunately, the man had great light skills, so he still let him run away!"
Wei Qing took a long breath, put down the wine pot, and narrowed his eyes into a slit. He looked a little guilty, perhaps because he didn't catch the assassin and felt bored, so he could only drink here to relieve his sorrow.
"Mr. Wei."
Suddenly, a scream came from the prison cell. Although the sound was weak, Wei Qing still came back to his senses in an instant. Looking back, the young man had already sat up from the ground. Apart from the obvious swelling on his face, there were no other wounds.
"The people in the Temple of the Imperial Temple are so brave that they dare to abuse lynching. Don't worry, I will definitely find a way to report this matter to His Majesty and punish him for disrespecting the law."
"Wei, Lord Wei is so grateful to see me. Lu Xin is so grateful. I will find a way to overcome this disaster. Lord Wei... must not be involved!"
"Your name is Lu Xin? Humph, Brother Lu's words are wrong. As the chief of Dali Temple, Wei has been practicing martial arts since he was a child and has been familiar with the "Wudelu". He not only wants to maintain the Tang Dynasty, but also protect the millions of people. If a court has unclear laws, unfair law enforcement, and officials act arbitrarily and deceive the emperor, what's the point of the people? When I joined Dali Temple, I punished all the bad people who burned, killed, and plundered, but Dali Temple did not miss the case. Looking through the past files, there are many unjust, false and wrong cases that have been accumulated in Dali Temple and not reported to the Ministry of Justice!"
Wei Qing paused when he said this. Perhaps because he knew that he was a little excited, he raised his head and picked up the wine pot and drank a few sips, which calmed down his voice.
"Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes. Not only the people, but also the court. It seems to be upright, but I don't know how much dirt is hidden behind my back. I, Wei Qing, has a low official position and cannot enter the court or quell this chaotic and unfair world. But in my case, if one person is wronged, even if one more evil person is arrested, he will not be able to atone for his sins. Brother Lu, Wang Quanyi was assassinated by someone with his own eyes. You don't have to say too much, I will never see you die injustice."
As Wei Qing finished speaking, the wine in his hand seemed to have been finished. He stopped looking at Lu Xin, threw down the wine pot, and strode away. The huge dungeon quickly returned to peace. Lu Xin was speechless for a long time, and he did not come to his senses until a snoring sounded in his ears.
The strong man in the cell next door was sleeping soundly again. Although he was unconscious at the time, Lu Xin remembered that when Wei Dunyun took action, the person in front of him had spoken. Then, Dali Temple and his party left the dungeon. Looking back on what Wei Dunyun said before he arrived, Lu Xin's eyes were filled with gratitude.
"Senior, thank you!"
He thought to himself that the young man closed his eyes and entered a state of meditation. At this time, Yue Buhei had already left the dungeon and rushed to Huaiyuanfang with the scholar and the Yang sisters.
"Miss Yang Xiu, what's wrong with Brother Xin? Why is your face so ugly?"
When the scholar saw that the few people were in a hurry, he could not catch up with them with all his strength, and immediately panicked. Yue Buhei and Yang Xiu both looked calm and did not speak. Only Yang Qin couldn't help but curse Miao words, which was the swear words of the Miao people.
"What the hell is wrong? You guys are talking!"
"I don't have time to tell you in detail. The person who just entered was Wei Duanyun, the general manager of the Imperial Temple. Xiao Xin was almost killed. This matter is related to Yin and Yang You Xianjian. We must immediately rush to Qian Mansion and hide You Xianjian in a safe place!"
Yue Buhei's face was gloomy and his tone was even more anxious. He had just brought the Yang sisters' Gu worm into the dungeon of Dali Temple. Everything that happened to Lu Xin could be sensed through the Gu worm.
It was not far from Yiningfang to Huaiyuanfang. With the strength of Yue Buhei and others, it arrived in less than a quarter of an hour. Although there was Xishi next to it, the few people did not have the intention to go shopping. As soon as they arrived at Qian Mansion, they rushed in. The guards at the door were not opponents of Yue Buhei and others. They fell to the ground without even saying the words to block them.
"Who isn't you afraid that I will sue the government if you break into a private house?"
As soon as Yue Buhei entered the Qian Mansion, an old man with a blushing face came towards him. It was the housekeeper Chen of the Qian Mansion. Yue Buhei was eager to find people, so he would not be polite and carried it into the air in one hand.
"Where is Qianhai?"
"You, who are you? What are you doing when you find my master?"
"Hmph, I'm too lazy to talk nonsense to you, take us to see him, otherwise, die!"
Butler Chen has never seen such a scene. The group of people in front of him were wild and fierce, unreasonable, but they were very powerful. Even if he wanted to resist, he could not raise any strength. Butler Chen naturally cherished his life, but he had been a slave in the Qian Mansion for decades, so he would not tell the truth easily.
"The master is discussing affairs at the Wei Zheng and Master Wei's mansion. If you have to meet you now, I can lead the way."
"Hmph, who are you from this mansion?"
"The old slave is the housekeeper of Qian's mansion. Old Master, he is indeed not in the mansion."
"Butler? Then you should have met a young man named Lu. Where is his room?"
"I've seen it, I'll take you here now..."
Butler Chen soon brought Yue Buhei and his group to the east wing of Qian Mansion. After entering Lu Xin's room, Yue Buhei found Yin and Yangyou Xianjian at the bedside. But when everyone was about to leave, more than a dozen guards with long sticks rushed out of the door. Qian Hai was standing among the crowd.
"Master? Master, please leave quickly. These evil people are extremely dangerous!"
Butler Chen was shocked. He knew very well that Yue Buhei and others were powerful. Those who could lift him up from a distance were definitely not something that a dozen guards could deal with.
"It's okay! Everyone, my name is Qian Hai, who is the owner of this mansion. If you have anything, just tell me and let Butler Chen go. Also, the things in your hands are the things of Qian's old friends, so please give us your hands high. If you have any offense, Qian is willing to give silver as a plea."
"Master Qian, please forgive me for being rude and forced into the Qian Mansion. It's really because the matter is urgent. Lu Xin is now being detained in the dungeon of Dali Temple, and someone wants to harm him. We are desperate and come to ask Mr. Qian for help."
"What, Dali Temple dungeon? Tell me quickly, what happened."
When Qian Hai heard that Lu Xin was in trouble, his face suddenly changed. He was a little hostile to Yue Buhei and others, but now it had disappeared. Seeing that his reaction was not as if he was pretending, Yue Buhei roughly told the matter. After hearing this, Qian Hai was anxious and angry, and immediately said that he wanted to go out of the mansion to find someone.
"Master Qian, I will stay at Donglai Inn in Yiningfang. If you have any news or what we need to do, please send someone to come at any time."
Yue Buhei dared not stay in Qian Mansion for too long. Wei Duanyun used the soul-catching and soul-seeking technique on Lu Xin. Although it lasted for only a moment, it was difficult to guarantee that he had received any news. Yin and Yang traveled to the Immortal Sword and must be moved to a safe place as soon as possible. Qian Hai knew that the situation was urgent and naturally would not stop it. The two sides agreed on a secret code and separated outside the mansion.
"Master, that boy... No, Mr. Lu, how could he be detained in the dungeon of Dali Temple? I heard that Chang'an City was not peaceful these two days, and even the emperor was alarmed. Mr. Lu, he wouldn't be against the court, right? If this is true, then you can't get involved."
"Hmph, what do you know! Let me continue to give you instructions. No one can spread the matter today. Otherwise, you will cut off your tongue and expel it from our mansion. Also, you are optimistic about the lady and you can't let her go out for a silence."
Looking at the backs of Yue Buhei and others leaving, Qian Hai narrowed his eyes and looked solemn. Seeing this, Butler Chen had to sigh and nodded repeatedly.
"I know, Master, then you?"
"I'm going to Lord Wei's mansion now. Dali Temple handles serious cases, and maybe it will be handed over to the Ministry of Justice. I have to find a way to take the person out of Dali Temple before talking about it."
Qian Hai finished his words anxiously and was about to walk out of the mansion. At this time, a large number of officers and soldiers suddenly rushed out of the alley. Judging from their outfits, they were all yamen runners from Yongzhou Prefecture. Dozens of officials instantly surrounded the gate of Qian's mansion. Immediately afterwards, a man in a red cloak, accompanied by two Yongzhou Prefecture Army soldiers, walked up.
Qian Hai recognized one of them, the Yongzhou Prefecture Office, the judiciary responsible for pursuing fugitives. He had great power and influenced dozens of counties in Chang'an City and surrounding areas. As soon as Yue Buhei and his party left, these people suddenly appeared, which was obviously because the visitor was not good. Qian Hai's face immediately became cold.
"Han joined the army, with such a big battle, are you going to come to my Qian Mansion to arrest people?"
"Mr. Qian, I'm sorry. We suspect that the Qian Mansion has hidden a fugitive. This is an imperial envoy of the imperial court. Now we are going to search for people in your Qian Mansion. You are a wise man, so don't make it difficult for me to do it."
"Haha, the imperial envoy? Since he is the person appointed by His Majesty the Emperor, how dare Qian stop him? You just go into the mansion and search, but the ugly words are first mentioned. If you can't find anything, although Qian is a commoner, he will try his best to let the emperor know about this!"
Qian Hai finished speaking coldly, glared at the Dharma Cao and the man in the cloak beside him, and then turned away. He did not enter the mansion, but walked out of Huaiyuanfang along the alley. Seeing this, "Senjun Han" suddenly changed his expression and hurriedly bowed to the man in the cloak.
"The immortal master forgives his crime. This person has made friends with Secretary Wei Zhengwei and even with his secretary. If the subordinate officials do not have any evidence, they really dare not offend him."
"Haha, it's okay. Lord Wei Zheng and I are also my family. Since they are his close friends, they are naturally my friend. Han joined the army without further ado, let's lead the way."
Wei Dunyun narrowed his eyes slightly, smiled strangely, and while speaking, he quickly walked towards the Qian Mansion.
