At night, Ling'er put on her night clothes, covered her face and went to the execution ground.
In order to attract Qingfengxia to show up, the government escorted Lu Yao to the execution ground in advance in the evening in the name of public display and tied him to a pillar in the center of the execution ground.
Ling'er knew that she was not good at martial arts and would not overestimate her ability to save people. She just hoped that she could be of some help when Qingfengxia appeared. She lurks in a secret place and observes the situation on the court.
The execution ground seemed calm and there were not many guards, but Linger could feel the danger hidden in the night. The government must have set up terrible traps around it, but Ling'er's experience in the world couldn't tell it no matter how hard he looked.
The torches illuminate the execution ground brightly.
Lu Yao lowered his head and was struggling painfully. There was a packet of medicinal powder hidden in his right hand which was tied to the pillar. This packet of medicinal powder was like a hot potato, burning his palms and torturing his heart. But he couldn't throw away this packet of medicinal powder. He would rather lose his own life than poison Qingfeng Xia, but he couldn't watch his mother who had worked so hard to raise him be tortured to death, nor could he let him be tortured to death at that time. The younger sister was insulted. Therefore, he could only plead guilty and be tied here to lure Qingfengxia to rescue him, and then take the opportunity to poison him. He is a coward, why not let him die? He can't feel sorry for his mother, and he can't feel sorry for his young sister. Sorry for the Qingfengxia, sorry for the people
Just after Xu Shi, Qi Yang stood up and lit the incense. After a while, he opened the wardrobe, pushed open the secret door on the inside, and leaned down slightly. He walked in and closed the cupboard door.
Qi Yang walked down the narrow stairs and came to the small cubicle on the first floor. He lit sandalwood, then took out a complete set of robes from the closet next to the stairs and put them on skillfully. After finishing dressing up, he picked up a medicine bottle from the low cabinet beside the bed, randomly took out a few painkilling pills and threw them into his mouth. Then, he tied up his hairband, covered his face with a scarf, tied a soft sword around his waist, pushed open the secret door on the first floor, and walked out of the back door of Qizhai.
The night breeze was slightly cool, but Qi Yang didn't feel the cold because he used Qing Gong to develop his internal strength. He walked over the walls to a courtyard, climbed down, and came to the edge of a rockery with ease, and groped for something on the stone wall. Suddenly, the mechanism was triggered, and a stone door slowly opened. Qi Yang stepped in.
A dark passage leads down to somewhere.
Qi Yang got used to the darkness and walked down the passage. It wasn't until the smell of blood wafted towards him that Qi Yang relaxed his pace.
As soon as the passage turned a corner, there was some light in front of it. Qi Yang squinted his eyes to adjust to the light, and then took a clear look at the surrounding situation.
This is the dungeon of Murong Villa. Qi Yang had seen it from the layout map of the villa and passed by it a few days and nights before. His original understanding of this dungeon was limited to this.
The spy who was sent to infiltrate the villa reported that an old woman and a girl were taken into the dungeon of the villa. Qi Yang boldly guessed that the government colluded with the Black Lotus Sect to devise this conspiracy. He asked people to go to Lu Yao's homeAfter investigation, they learned that Lu Yao's mother and sister, who depended on each other, were taken away by officers and soldiers, and the old woman and girl who were imprisoned in the dungeon at this time were most likely Lu Yao's family members.
This dungeon is quite different from Qi Yang’s imagination. He originally thought there were only one or two small cells here, but he didn't expect that this dungeon actually consisted of more than a dozen cells, and there were other people imprisoned in these cells.
Qi Yang ducked in, and with his strong martial arts skills, he knocked down the four big men guarding him in one go. Then he took a torch and went from room to room looking for the old woman and the girl.
The prisoners in the cell were all people who had offended the Murong family in daily life. Some were gangsters and some were martial arts swordsmen. They were not good people, so Qi Yang did not intend to pay attention to them.
In a cell near the back, Qi Yang saw the mother and daughter hugging each other in fear. He took out a steel needle from the concealed weapon pouch at his waist, inserted it into the lock and twisted it gently, and the lock opened.
The old woman and the girl were immediately surprised when they saw the visitor wearing green clothes.
Qi Yang supported the old woman and took the girl away.
While passing the corner, Qi Yang inadvertently spotted a weak woman being held in the innermost cell, so he took a few more glances. The woman, with disheveled hair and skinny bones, was sitting weakly in the corner, breathless. She was wearing a loose white shirt, with the word "prison" in red on her chest vaguely visible.
Qi Yang was shocked, how could there be a government prisoner here? He thought there was something fishy about this matter, so he approached and took a closer look at the woman.
The woman's complexion was pale, as if she had been imprisoned for many years and had not seen the sun. Even with her hair hanging down on her face, her appearance couldn't be seen clearly, and there was a butterfly tattoo on the back of her hand that exposed her sleeve.
Qi Yang was shocked again, this is the unique mark of the demon sect's attendants
"Who is she? She is wearing the prison uniform of the government and has been imprisoned in the Black Lotus Cult prison all year round. "He is a member of the Demon Cult." Qi Yang took a deep look at the woman and left with the old woman and the girl. < /p>
But when Ling'er saw the cyan figure coming from afar, she changed her mind again, "Qingfengxia, are you a fool and you dare to come even though you know there is a trap?"
Ling'er holds the sword tightly and is ready to do her best to help Qingfeng Xia.
As the cyan figure approached, the officers and soldiers on the execution ground immediately became nervous, took up their weapons and stood ready.
Lu Yao noticed the strange movement around him and looked up in the direction of Qingfeng Xia. His eyes were full of sadness and despair.
Qingfengxia stopped when he was near the edge of the magic field. He stood close to the torch and took out two hairbands from his arms, one was brown and the other was pink.
Although the distance was not close, by the light of the torch, Lu Yao recognized at a glance that those were the headbands of his mother and sister. Such personal items could only mean one thing. tears of excitementThe water came out blindingly, blurring Lu Yao's vision. At this time, he only had one thought: "I can finally be an upright person, and I will have no regrets even if I die."
Ling'er didn't know what Qingfengxia wanted, she just waited for Qingfengxia to do it Show up to help.
Qingfeng Xia knew that Lu Yao understood what he meant, so he put away his hair tie and left in the wind.
The officers and soldiers guarding the execution ground were baffled by Qingfengxia's behavior.
Ling'er in the dark was even more confused. She thought about it and decided that this would be a good idea. Judging from the current situation, Qingfengxia is very likely to end up saving his own life instead of saving others. As for Brother Lu, I hope things will turn around tomorrow.
Early the next morning, Ling'er rushed to Qingfeng Inn, and everyone from "Feng'er" was actually there.
As soon as she saw Ling'er, Gongsun Qian quickly stepped forward and said, "Sister Ling'er, there is good news."
Ling'er hurriedly asked, "Brother Lu doesn't need to be asked." "Beheaded"
Gongsun Qian nodded with a smile and said, "Not only did he not have to be questioned, but he was also acquitted."
Ling'er was surprised and happy, and said, " The government convicted him to lure Qingfengxia to show up to save people. Last night, Qingfengxia didn't fall into the trap, so they let him go. Is that right?" As soon as the words came out, Ling'er felt that this was impossible, and the government tried every means to think of it. How could the capture of Qingfeng Xia be done so hastily
Gongsun Qian said, "My sister thinks too simply. Even if Brother Qingfeng doesn't fall into the trap, the government will not let Lu Yao go easily."< /p>
"Then what's going on?" Ling'er asked.
"Someone sent an anonymous letter to the Minister of Punishment's residence last night, asking the Minister to retry Lu Yao's case." Gongsun Qian replied.
Linger, the "Minister of Punishment", had heard that he was a good and honest official.
"Isn't he the father of sister Qin'er?" Gongsun Qian said, pointing to the woman in purple who was surrounded by the "Feng'er" ladies asking for news.
"Why didn't we directly ask Lord Shangshu to come forward yesterday?" Ling'er was puzzled.
"Because Lu Yao himself confessed his crime," Gongsun Qian said, "Sister, don't be anxious, listen to me in detail. The anonymous letter mentioned that Lu Yao is the bodyguard of Zhenyuan Escort Bureau and is not around all year round. In the capital, he has proof that he was not in the capital during the recent operations of Brother Qingfeng, which can prove that he has nothing to do with Brother Qingfeng. The letter also mentioned that he confessed before because his family fell into the hands of traitors and he was forced to do so. I can only confess under threat."
"That's it." Ling'er carefully recalled that Qingfeng Xia seemed to be holding some hairband-like objects in his hand last night, and he figured it out. joint. She said, "Qingfengxia rescued Brother Lu's family overnight, so that Brother Lu would no longer be coerced."
"It's possible, but we haven't received relevant news yet." Gongsun Qian said.
"This anonymous letter must have been sent to the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Punishment by Qingfengxia." Ling'er speculated.
Gongsun Qian nodded in agreement and said, "Master Shangshu did not wait for dawn and asked the Yamen to retry the case overnight, and finally settled the case for Lu.Yao overturned the case. "
"Thanks to this Lord Shangshu. "Ling'er said gratefully. She thought to herself that Qingfeng Xia was so careful. If Qingfeng Xia went directly to the execution ground to save people, Brother Lu would probably have to live on the run for the rest of his life. But now Brother Lu can return to his own life. Life couldn't be better. I hope Brother Lu won't act so recklessly in the future. Ling'er suddenly thought of Qi Yang's evaluation of Brother Lu, and then she was right about Qi Yang's unwillingness to save him. Feel angry.
