Chapter 62 The Inhumans Saved
The young man next to the old man muttered: "Isolated from the world, won't we be suffocated to death? Grandpa, we can't live any longer." The old man reached out and slapped the young man loudly, and yelled: "You bastard.
, now we are prisoners of the imperial court, and if we are caught, we will be beheaded. It is a great blessing that this family can survive. If you dare to talk nonsense again, your skin will be peeled off."
After being scolded by him, the young man couldn't help but flushed and stepped aside. The old man cupped his hands to Xiao Yunfan and said, "Thank you so much for your thoughtful consideration for us. However, I have one more thing to ask you. May I ask what we should do if my benefactor comes after me?"
The young and old in this family are all helpless people, so please show me your kindness."
Xiao Yunfan smiled and said: "After everyone enters the valley and settles down, I will destroy the entrance of the valley. At that time, there will be a layer of poisonous miasma outside the valley. Even if the officers and soldiers arrive, they will be unable to do anything. I can rest assured."
After hearing this, the old man said with a smile on his face: "Well, that's very good. Can you tell me the name of your benefactor? So that I, the descendants of the Feng family, can pray for you day and night and remember the virtue of my benefactor's rebirth."
Xiao Yunfan said with a smile: "My old man's words are serious. Junior Lu Buping. It's just because my ancestors have a very close relationship with the Feng family. My ancestors have received great kindness from the Feng family. When my father heard that the Feng family was in trouble, he sent a boy to come to the rescue. It can't be delayed.
Everyone should enter the valley as soon as possible to avoid future troubles."
A group of people, led by Xiao Yunfan, walked along a path towards the valley. It was early in the morning, and although the sun was shining, the valley was low-lying and white mist filled everyone's eyes. Xiao Yunfan walked at the front and ordered everyone to line up.
A group of people followed him.
After everyone walked for a while, they came to the edge of a cliff. Xiao Yunfan walked towards the edge of the cliff and glanced at the bottom of the cliff. He saw only white mist, which was bottomless. There was an iron cable bridge in the air to the left.
There are eight chains in the bridge, four at the bottom are paved with pedals, and two at the top are handrails.
As soon as he stepped on the pedal, the iron cable swayed immediately. When he slowly walked to the center, the wind whistled in his ears, and the iron cable swayed even more. The pedal had been in the fog for many years, and it was difficult to see the sun. The layer of moss on it was even more intense.
It's a little greasy.
Even though Xiao Yunfan was bold and had some foundation in martial arts, cold sweat broke out on his vest. Seeing this, people like the Feng family felt even more uneasy. After a while, he finally walked to the opposite side. His heart was beating fiercely.
, thinking to himself: "I can't help but be scared when I cross this bridge, let alone these people?"
On the cliff opposite, the old man of the Feng family turned pale, the middle-aged man lowered his head and said nothing, and the two young men also swallowed their saliva. Several women looked confused, and none of the maids and men dared to walk to the bridge.
Everyone was hesitating when they suddenly heard a sneer coming from behind: "Everyone is a loser, they might as well be caught and beheaded."
Everyone turned around and saw a woman wearing a coarse prison uniform and long hair shawl with a straight face. She glanced at everyone with cold eyes, and her lips showed contempt and ridicule. The middle-aged man glanced at her and sneered.
He said: "Who do I think you are? It turns out to be Qing'er, who talks like that."
Feng Miaoqing spat: "Bah! Qing'er's name was also called by you, who do you think you are?" The middle-aged man's face suddenly turned red with anger, he pointed at her and shouted: "Rebellion, rebellion." Feng Miaoqing
Said: "Hmph! In my opinion, this Hero Lu shouldn't have saved you bunch of wimps. Each one of them has the dignity to say that he is a member of the Feng family. The Feng family's face has been ruined by you a long time ago."
A young man next to the middle-aged man came to the front and said, "You don't seem to be from the Feng family." Feng Miaoqing rolled her eyes at him, her eyes slightly red, and said loudly: "The Feng family... the Feng family. If you hadn't published it,
What kind of bullshit novel is this? How could the imperial court close down our Chunqiu Tower?
Don't you know how my second uncle died? My grandfather's bones are not cold yet, and he still has to suffer the humiliation of opening the coffin and slaughtering the corpse. The Feng family has descendants like you, it is really a shame for the ancestors." The young man was shouted at by her,
He was speechless for a moment, his face turned pale, and he took several steps back. From the master to the servants, everyone in the Feng family looked tired and embarrassed.
Xiao Yunfan walked back from the chain bridge and wanted to pick everyone up, but when he saw the scene in front of him, he felt sad. Feng Miaoqing stopped looking at the crowd and turned around and ran away. Xiao Yunfan said to everyone with a cold face: "Everyone, please do your own thing.
." Then he went to chase Feng Miaoqing. "Miss Feng, stay."
Feng Miaoqing turned around
Come, tears are glistening on the long eyelashes. Two tear marks are clearly visible on the thin face. Xiao Yunfan knows that she has lived in luxury since she was a child, but now her family has been ruined and she has suffered the pain of prison, so she is worried that she will do something stupid.
.
Feng Miaoqing bit her lip, stretched out her hand to wipe away her tears and said, "Master Lu, thank you for your help. You'd better leave them alone and leave me alone."
Xiao Yunfan stepped forward and said: "Miss Feng, I can feel the resentment in your heart. But people cannot be resurrected, even if they are killed, it will not help." Feng Miaoqing gritted his teeth and said: "They...
...What they did was really heartless." Xiao Yunfan was confused and asked: "What exactly did they do? How did the second master of the Feng family die?"
Feng Miaoqing sobbed: "Not long after my grandfather died, they poisoned my second uncle to seize the family property. Then they put me under house arrest and planned to sell me to a brothel. They also dismissed all the servants in the family one by one."
Xiao Yunfan said: "They had calculated everything, but they never expected that because of a counter-proposal, the whole family would be imprisoned." Feng Miaoqing said: "Exactly, maybe there was God's will in the dark. They deserved their crimes, and they must have done it."
They would be killed by a thousand cuts. But you rescued them again."
Hearing this, Xiao Yunfan wanted to slap himself. It turned out that these rescued people were ambitious and not good people. Then he thought, if he didn't rescue these people, he would definitely not see Feng Miaoqing. What's more, he didn't put any effort into it.
, it was the eldest brother Luo Jiucai who really saved people. He was just the one who did it.
The words "rescuing" and "killing" seem to be the same, but the meanings are completely different. Is it right or wrong to save these people? Xiao Yunfan was at a loss.
Feng Miaoqing has followed her grandfather since she was a child. People who interact with the Feng family have heard about it even if they have never seen it. But she has never heard of the Lu family, so she couldn't help but feel doubtful, so she asked: "Master Lu, you said you are friends with my Feng family."
Very interesting, but why have I never seen you?"
Xiao Yunfan knew that it was not appropriate to reveal his identity at this time, so he said casually: "My ancestors have a very deep relationship with the Feng family. My father's generation rarely interacted with friends in the world. It is reasonable that Miss Feng has never met me.
." At that moment, he changed his subject and said: "Miss Feng, I have heard about this case of counter-letter, but I have a doubt and I hope you can give me some advice."
Feng Miaoqing sighed and shook his head and said: "I don't know much about this anti-book case. Master Lu probably doesn't know yet, but our Chunqiu Tower has long been divided into two branches, one is my grandfather's side, and the other is Feng Yuxia and the others.
Here, the court will investigate the crime, regardless of the reason. I am a member of the Feng family, so I am naturally implicated."
Xiao Yunfan nodded and said: "Well, in that case, I have no choice but to ask Mr. Feng for advice. The girl has some differences with them. Why not wait in the car until I find out the matter and then talk to the girl."
, and walked towards the valley.
When he returned to the original place, all eighty-three people had disappeared without a trace. The long chain of the cable bridge was hanging on the cliff opposite. Someone had obviously broken the chain. Xiao Yunfan was shocked and felt
Said: "Who did all this?"
While he was in a trance, his vest suddenly became numb. A man wearing a black cloak and a gold mask floated in front of him. Although he could not move, his speech was still flexible. A pair of bright eyes on the mask stared at him.
, a low and hoarse voice said: "Boy, what did I tell you when I rescued you?"
Xiao Yunfan was overjoyed and said: "It turned out to be senior. The kindness of senior in saving my life will never be forgotten by me. Your old man once said that after I recover from my injury, I should go back home and stop interfering in the affairs of the world."
The man reached out and slapped him loudly, and spat: "You have a good memory, but you didn't do it well."
Xiao Yunfan's left cheek was in burning pain. Although the old man in front of him was imposing, it also inadvertently aroused a sense of arrogance in his heart. He protested: "Senior wants me to live my whole life like a turtle with a shrunken head."
The old man sneered and said: "A living turtle is better than a dead person." Xiao Yunfan said: "It is better to live an upright life than to linger on."
The old man clicked his tongue and said: "Be an upright man. It seems that what I said to you has turned a deaf ear again." Xiao Yunfan said: "You old man once said that the so-called chivalrous and righteous people cannot just die bravely for a moment of courage.
Anyone who achieves great things must consider the following four words: "Strive for strength".
The old man turned around and said: "
Since you came out of the cave, what have you done within your ability?" He suddenly turned around and pointed at him and said: "It's just the courage of an ordinary man." Xiao Yunfan said: "As long as a person lives, he will die. It may be lighter than a feather, or heavier than Mount Tai.
As a chivalrous man, he should help those in danger and those in distress, help the world and bring peace to the country. He should sacrifice his life for righteousness and die without hesitation. Even though it may seem ridiculous in the eyes of our seniors, this is the heart of an innocent child."
Xiao Yunfan's words were so impassioned that the old man pondered for a moment and murmured: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, since you want to die, even the gods can't save you. When the day of disaster comes, you will regret it too much." After saying that, he turned over in the air and turned around.
He stood up and brushed his sleeves behind Xiao Yunfan's back.
When Xiao Yunfan turned around and looked again, the old man had disappeared. He said to himself: "Who is this senior? It seems that every move I make is under his control. What is his intention in helping me? It's really surprising.
No one can guess."
The Feng family was not in sight at the moment, so he had to give up on questioning the anti-statement. He stepped out of the valley, and just after taking a few steps, he heard a loud noise behind him. When he turned around to look, he saw that the road into the valley had been blocked by huge rocks that had fallen from the top of the mountain.
Sealed.
The special envoys sent by the imperial court were sitting on a high chair in the lobby, each with a stern expression, waiting for the governor's reply. Governor Xu Yuantai had beads of sweat on his forehead, and his face was pale. He stretched out his sleeves and wiped it gently, while Li Yingxiang
Calm and composed, Zhou Guanghao looked solemn.
The leader of the Jin Yiwei called him Lu Wannian. He had a slender face with two eyebrows. He stared at Xu Yuantai with cold eyes and said coldly: "Master Xu, our brothers are here under the Holy Order. Now you have to hand over
If we don't come out, we won't be able to explain it to the factory owner when we go back, and he won't be able to explain it to the Holy Father either. You are really good at posing problems for our brothers."
Xu Yuantai sighed and said: "Sir, please calm down. This matter is due to my negligence. I can only work here for a few days. I will do my best to supervise my subordinates and arrest the thieves who robbed the prison."
At this time, Zhou Guanghao, who was sitting under him, stood up, took off his official hat, put it aside and said: "Your Majesty, the governor. This matter is due to a subordinate's dereliction of duty. I have drafted a letter of apology and will send it to the governor."
Your Excellency, submit it to the Ministry of Personnel. Until the imperial court issues a document, in accordance with our official system in the Ming Dynasty, lower officials will still be inspectors. I will definitely investigate this matter and get to the bottom of it."
Lu Wannian said: "I understand Master Zhou's words very clearly. But I don't know how many days it will take you to find out?"
Zhou Guanghao said loudly: "I can't hand over anyone within ten days. I will go back with my subordinates." After Lu Wannian exchanged glances with his companions on the left and right, he laughed and said: "Okay, Governor Xu, Mr. Li
Soldier, you are here to bear witness. Our brothers will wait for ten days."
Xu Yuantai's face softened slightly and he said with a smile: "The three superiors have been tired all the way. The subordinates have already sent people to arrange accommodation. Please ask the superiors to move the rack." After sending off the Jin Yiwei, Xu Yuantai walked to the lobby angrily and cursed.
: "You bastard." Li Yingxiang took a sip of tea and said, "Master Futai, please calm down."
Xu Yuantai looked at Li Yingxiang and pointed at him and cursed: "You are nothing, why didn't you intercede for Lao Zhou just now? Now that there is such a big mess, let Lao Zhou be the one to blame? To tell you the truth, the three of us
No one can run away.
Li Yingxiang glanced at Xu Yuantai and said with a smile: "What you are saying is, didn't you intercede for Lao Zhou just now?" He blushed when he saw the two of them, Zhou Guanghao advised: "You two don't need to argue. The most important thing is to get married as soon as possible.
Take countermeasures."
Xu Yuantai stroked his beard and muttered: "I think this thing is weird. I'm afraid it has something to do with those people in the world..."
Luo Jiutian closed his eyes and played with a copper coin back and forth in his hand. He stood beside him and whispered to Ying: "Master, the matter has been settled. How to deal with the official questioning now may take some trouble."
Luo Jiutian smiled lightly and said: "It's okay, just tell the people below how to answer." Xiang Ying nodded: "Yes! I also heard that the inspector Zhou Guanghao is a delicate person and is not easy to deal with. If he smells something,
, which would be very detrimental to us.”
Luo Jiutian put the copper coin in his hand on the table, opened his eyes and said slowly: "Let him check, let him check, even if he finds something, he can't do anything to us. All their clues are in our hands
Hold on, I don’t believe they dare to shoot themselves in the foot?"
