MTL - Of All the Transmigrations, Why Am I a Prisoner?-Chapter 73 It was a joke at the beginning
Jinsefang.
During the day, Jinsefang was quiet and peaceful, and even seemed a little lonely.
Before the hour, there were no showgirls and players, and only dozens of guards walked up and down the street.
Yan Shu didn't want to be entangled with them, tapped his toes, leaped up the eaves like a nimble bird, and went straight to Qinglu Pavilion.
He found an open window in the attic of Qinglu Pavilion, held his breath to hide it, and turned in lightly and silently when the guard was not paying attention.
Fortunately, there was no one in that wing, and there was less entanglement. Yan Shu walked out of the wing and walked to the wing where Shi Huanian had met before.
Quickly walking to the door of the wing room, Yan Shu raised his hand and knocked in a worried tone: "Master, are you here? I'm disturbed."
Seeing that there was no response after knocking on the door several times in a row, Yan Shu frowned and said something offended, then pushed open the wing door and walked straight in.
In the wing, the windows were closed, and no one was seen.
Yan Shu looked around and saw that the wing room was clean and tidy, and there were no signs of fighting or struggling. He knew that he was abrupt, and turned around to leave the wing room.
However, just as Yan Shu walked out of the wing and was about to close the door, his eyes were fixed in one place.
Next to the sapphire coffee table, there is a carved wooden desk, and there is something on the desk, which is covered with black cloth and covered with red silk. If you look closely, you will find that the red silk is stained with black stains.
And that thing is the size of a skull
Yan Shu frowned and looked at it for a while, then got up and approached, reaching out to grab a corner of the black cloth.
Yan Shu turned his head to look very alertly, and saw Shi Huanian standing at the door of the wing, with his hands clasped in front of him, with a dignified posture.
Shi Hua Nian was stunned, but she quickly regained her composure, and smiled sarcastically: "Master Yan, do people in the imperial court like to break into mansions privately?"
Yan Shu retracted the hand holding the black cloth, and said, "I have offended you so much. Please forgive me. I came here in a hurry this time because I got news that someone wants to harm the owner."
"Hurt me?" Shi Huanian frowned, "Who?"
"I wonder if the owner of the shop has ever heard of 'jackdaw'?" Yan Shu asked.
Shi Huanian's face changed, biting his lip tightly without saying a word.
Seeing her reaction like this, Yan Shu guessed that she knew a little about the power of the imperial court, so he advised: "Jinsefang is no longer safe for the owner of the workshop. If the owner of the workshop believes me, please leave here with me."
"But I don't believe you." Shi Huanian sneered, "How many people in your court are clothed in human skins, staring at gold and silver power, and doing animal things, I Jinsefang is the city of Baidi after all. A song and dance workshop, is it possible to let others break in?"
Shi Huanian was aggressive, but Yan Shu was not annoyed, and said lightly, "But I broke in easily."
Shi Hua Nian frowned and pursed the corner of his mouth, unable to argue.
"Since I can break in, so can the jackdaws. The guards in Jinsefang may be able to scare people who make trouble, but for the well-trained jackdaws, the door is open. land." Yan Shu patiently persuaded, "Please also ask the owner of the shop to leave with me for safety."
"I won't leave with you." Shi Huanian flicked his sleeves and angrily issued an expulsion order, "Let's go."
"If that's the case, can you please let me know." Yan Shu pointed to the thing covered with black cloth on the desk, his eyes were sharp, and his tone was serious, "What is this?"
Shi Huanian's face turned pale, but he thought of the words very quickly: "What are the things in the girl's family, there are things that are hard to tell, why? Is it possible that the adults are very interested? Why don't I find a girl and have a good time with the adults? How about discussing what's going on in this room?"
"Please explain." Yan Shu refused to give in an inch.
"You!" Shi Huanian scolded, "Shameless!"
"If the owner of the shop doesn't want to explain, then I'll have to offend you." Yan Shu stretched out his hand, trying to lift the black cloth.
"Stop!" Shi Nianhua shouted, waved his hand violently, and several silver needles flew out of his palm, straight to Yan Shu's forehead.
Yan Shu turned sideways, dodged easily, and the silver needle was immediately nailed to the wall.
Without hesitation, he suddenly lifted the black cloth first, then froze for a moment.
Under the black cloth, there is a human skull!
Shi Nianhua's face was pale and trembling.
Yan Shu covered the black cloth again, and showed no mercy: "I also ask the owner of the shop to explain."
"There's nothing to explain." Shi Nianhua said coldly.
"Then I can only invite Fangzhu and me to go back to the Dali Temple in Kyoto." Yan Shu said coldly, turning around and walking towards the Poems step by step.
At this moment, a silver dagger quietly touched Yan Shu's waist.
Yan Shu paused for a while.
"do not move."
A low, hoarse voice came from behind Yan Shu.
However, before he finished speaking, Yan Shu grabbed the scabbard around his waist with one hand, wiped his waist and stabbed it back abruptly.
The people behind him stepped back quickly, dodging a blow.
Yan Shu pulled out the long and thin sword and slashed it. The man hurriedly protected it with the dagger.
The man was dressed in a gray robe and had a tall figure. Because of his beard, he didn't look young. He looked like he was in his thirties.
The two looked at each other across the opposing sword and dagger, and the man shouted, "Master Yan, please put away the sword!"
Yan Shu exerted force on his wrist and swung the dagger from the man's hand, and then the tip of the sword pointed to the ground. He looked at the man and said his guess: "Sir of the Ministry of War, Xu Yixian, Master Xu?"
Xu Yixian sighed: "It's me."
"I've been looking for your lord for half a year because of the case of Yinliang's disappearance during disaster relief." Yan Shu put away his sword and said lightly.
"As expected of Yanshu, Shaoqing of Dali Temple, I have heard of it." Xu Yixian folded his fists.
Shi Huanian walked over quickly, grabbed Xu Yixian's arm, her eyes were red, and she almost burst into tears: "You hid well, why did you come out?"
"Ma'am, if I put you in jail, what's the point of hiding?" Xu Yixian patted Shi Huanian's hand lightly and reassured, "Madam, don't be afraid, I believe that Lord Yan will return my innocence to me. ."
Shi Hua Nian bowed his head, reluctant to speak more.
"If Master Xu has a clear conscience, I will definitely restore your innocence. Now please come back to Dali Temple with me. I will bind you with ropes. Please forgive me." Yan Shu folded his fists and stepped forward.
"Hold on." Xu Yixian said.
Yan Shu frowned and put his hand on the scabbard.
Xu Yixian lifted the black cloth covering the skull and asked Yan Shu, "Don't Mr. Yan want to know, where did the 100,000 taels of disaster relief silver and the 33 Jinyi guards go?"
Yan Shu paused, pondered for a moment, looked at Xu Yixian, and said, "Please explain."
Xu Yixian suddenly smiled miserably, his eyes were sad, his tone was sad and a little hopeless: "If I tell Lord Yan..."
"Then the 100,000 taels of disaster relief silver was never shipped from Kyoto?"
"And thirty-three living lives, in the eyes of others, are just a bargaining chip, but a piece of garbage that can be despised at any time?"
Master Xu slowly exhaled a turbid breath, and slowly told what he had experienced in the past six months.
The severe drought in Huaibei, and the death of hunger all over the land, affects the hearts of everyone who cares about the country and the people, and Xu Yixian is also one of these people.
So he volunteered to send 100,000 taels of disaster relief silver taels to Huaibei to solve the urgent need for disaster relief in the north.
But what Xu Yixian never expected was that this mission had become the nightmare of his life.
At the beginning, the thirty-three Jinyiwei were in high spirits, and they all walked quickly, hoping to get to Huaibei as soon as possible to save the people of Huaibei from the fire and water.
It was feasible to only ten days, and some people in this group began to get sick, and not one, but a dozen people were sick.
Xu Yixian was suspicious of food at first, so he hired a doctor when he settled in town.
The doctor couldn't tell one or two, so he prescribed some medicines to keep them healthy.
In order not to delay the delivery of the disaster relief silver, the sick brocade guards all gritted their teeth and held on, without a single complaint.
As Xu Yixian spoke, his eyes were full of pain: "For the sake of the people and for disaster relief, they dragged their tired bodies and just wanted to hurry up to deliver the disaster relief silver to Huaibei, but what is waiting for them in the end?"
"It's a sudden death ten days later! It's a tragic death that turned into bones a few days after death!" Xu Yixian couldn't help roaring out.
Shi Huanian reached out and stroked Xu Yixian's back lightly, letting him relax.
"Master Yan, when I settled down at the inn, I reported three letters to the imperial court, but each letter fell into disrepair and never received a response." Xu Yixian said, "I sensed something was wrong because of this, and one day, I fell down again. After three people, I removed the seal on the silver van and lifted the hood."
"And in the car, there is no silver at all, only stones."
"A piece of stone smeared with poison."
"So, this journey of transporting money with loyalty, fearlessness, and thinking of the people was nothing more than a joke at the beginning, and it was just a trick to treat thirty-four lives as a despised thing."
Xu Yixian's words were like thunder, deafening and crying, weeping blood and tears.
Even Yan Shu couldn't help feeling shivering.
The child is loyal, so he is just casually placed on the ground and trampled on by others, as humble as an ant.
"But..." Yan Shu suddenly thought of a doubt. He raised his head to look at Xu Yixian, "Why did Master Xu also deliver silver taels, but he was safe and sound."
"Because he has the Beidi ice silkworm that I gave him, and the person who carries it with him can resist hundreds of poisons." Shi Huanian, who was beside Xu Yixian, spoke up.
Shi Hua Nian was originally the princess of Bei Di. Although her clan was wiped out and she fled to the Central Plains, she also carried many rare treasures of Bei Di with her.
Among them is Beidi ice silkworm.
"I see." Yan Shu nodded.
"After I found out that the silver cart was filled with poisonous stones, it was too late. The rest of the Jinyiwei died violently one after another. I was the only one left." Xu Yixian sighed again, his tone full of unbearableness, " But the person who planned this should never have imagined that I would be alive."
Master Xu looked at the skull on the desk, "These days, I've been investigating, which force in the imperial court is so ignorant of human life and doing such evil things. After being chased and killed by others, I ran for my life in panic all day long. I didn’t know it was the Jackdaw until Master Yan told me that all the clues were connected! Dare to ask Master Yan, who is closely related to Bei Di today?”
Yan Shu also reacted immediately.
It's Han Ya!
Fourteen years ago, a county lord went to Beidi to be with him, and this county lord was the daughter of Han Ya!
Qin Jueming, Shuofang, Beidi, Baidi City, the granary of the world, Huaibei, starvation everywhere, natural disasters and turmoil, and other words flashed in Yan Shu's mind.
An idea arose in Yan Shu's heart, which made him shudder.
Is it...
At this moment, Yan Shu heard light footsteps on the roof, his eyes narrowed, and he listened with bated breath.
Xu Yixian obviously heard it too, the two looked at each other, Yan Shu suddenly pulled out his long sword, Xu Yixian grabbed Shi Huanian and protected her behind him.
At the same time, seven men in black broke through the window and surrounded the three!
