Chapter 77 Trapped Beast
"Where is it?" Ye Qinghuai didn't notice, her voice trembled a little.

Qin Yang paused for a moment, then said: "I met a captain in the imperial hospital, he said that this afternoon he had fought side by side with Shaodong's family at Donglin Gate. Originally, Shaodong's family led a few people to stop the pursuers by relying on the terrain In Donglinmen, but later the head of the criminal department brought a team of patrolmen and killed them from outside the door. The Shaodong family was attacked by the enemy, and it gradually lost the wind. Then there was news from Chengtianmen that the Youyawei was transferred away, and the Shaodong family was arrested by the Ministry of punishment. The master took it away."

Ye Qinghuai frowned and asked, "Which one is in charge of the Ministry of Punishment?"

Qin Yang recalled it for a while, and replied: "The surname is Zheng, Zheng Zhaodong."

The Ministry of Criminal Justice does have such a principal, and as far as Ye Qinghuai knows, this person is Gu Shihai's confidant.

It seems that Lu Yanchen fell into the hands of Gu Shihai and the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

Ye Qinghuai stepped over the threshold, led the horse tied outside the door, jumped up, and said, "Let's go to the Ministry of Punishment."
-
Gu Shihai's mansion is only two streets away from the Ministry of Criminal Justice. On the way to the Ministry of Criminal Justice, Ye Qinghuai glanced at the door of his mansion from a distance at the intersection, and saw three or five carriages parked in front of his door, and many servants were busy leading the horses Driving, it's so lively.

At this time, there are still so many guests in the Gu residence, it seems that tonight is also a difficult night for Gu Shihai.

With such a great change in the imperial army, besides Luo Zichang, there must be many people who are dissatisfied.

"Qin Yang, you said earlier that the person who told you the whereabouts of your husband fought side by side with him, what's his name?" Ye Qinghuai asked when he was almost in front of the criminal department.

Qin Yang thought for a moment, then replied, "Chu Dingguo."

Ye Qinghuai was a little shocked, and asked again: "He said he fought side by side with Mr.?"

"Yes."

"He turned his back?" Ye Qinghuai murmured.

Qin Yang suddenly reined in the horse.

"Your Majesty! Look there!" Qin Yang pointed to the gate of the Criminal Department at the end of the road.

Ye Qinghuai looked in the direction he pointed, and saw a simple carriage parked at the entrance of the criminal department, surrounded by a circle of patrols, each of them held a torch high in their hands, illuminating the gate.

Then, Ye Qinghuai saw a tall man walking out of the gate of the Ministry of Punishment under the escort of two officers.

From a distance, she could tell at a glance that it was Lu Yanchen.

Even though he was covered in rags, his black clothes were covered with knife cuts, his hair was in a messy bun, and the long hair hanging down covered half of his face, and the exposed half of his face was covered with blood, and his hands and feet were in shackles , the walking pace has long been unsteady, almost being half-dragged and half-pressed to walk out.

Ye Qinghuai still recognized him at a glance.

She felt a sudden pain in her heart.

At this time, Lu Yanchen looked like a trapped beast that had been seriously injured.Those patrolmen surrounded him, but they all kept an arm's distance from him, as if they were guarding against his possible counterattack at any time.

They were going to stuff him into that carriage, and they didn't know where they were going to transport him.

Ye Qinghuai kicked the horse's belly, urging the horse to catch up.

"Lord Lu, if you refuse to get in this carriage, you have to walk to Dali Temple. We don't care, but I'm afraid you won't be able to walk with such heavy shackles, Master Lu."

The catcher's words were respectful, but his tone was full of sarcasm, which seemed to be a bit of a villain's success.

Lu Yanchen slowly squinted and glanced at him.

The head catcher shut his mouth for a moment, he felt as if he had been swept by a knife's edge.

He took a few steps back, and said to his subordinates: "Don't let Mr. Lu get in the car soon? Dali Temple is still waiting!"

Today, the story of Lu Yanchen's one against a hundred in Donglinmen has already spread throughout the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

Seeing that his subordinates were so timid, the head catcher was so angry that he looked around, grabbed a long stick from the hand of the person next to him, and said to Lu Yanchen: "Master Lu, I have already said all the good things about you. Don't be ignorant."

As he spoke, he slammed the long stick on Lu Yanchen's feet twice.

There was a sound of hoofbeats, Ye Qinghuai galloped across the street, reined in his horse and shouted in front of the crowd: "My people, who dares to touch him?"

The light of the torch flickered, and everyone raised their heads to see Ye Qinghuai on the horse. The firelight reflected her face with sharp edges and corners, and her slender neck set off her tall figure sitting on the horse.

"See Your Majesty!" Someone knelt down holding a torch.

Then others fell to their knees intermittently.The head catcher also knelt down in the end, and he put the long stick under his feet, as if reluctantly.

Ye Qinghuai got off the horse, walked straight to Lu Yanchen, supported his somewhat hunched figure with one hand, and said with enthusiasm, "I am late, sir has suffered."

Seeing her, Lu Yanchen's eyes lit up. He looked Ye Qinghuai up and down, and finally settled on Ye Qinghuai's hanging arm.

He opened his mouth, but no words came out.

In the firelight, Ye Qinghuai noticed that his lips were pale and covered with chapped marks.

Without making a sound, Lu Yanchen held Ye Qinghuai's arm with his backhand, grabbed Ye Qinghuai's arm vigorously, and looked at her with questioning and distressed eyes.

As if asking how she got hurt like this.

Ye Qinghuai's heart suddenly seemed to collapse.

She thought that when he saw her, it should be the joy of seeing the savior, or the relaxation with relief.

He was injured so far, his face was bloodless, and his appearance was haggard. Not only was he in a state of desperation, but he had also lost half of his life. If Ye Qinghuai hadn't arrived in time, he didn't know how much longer he would have to live.

But the first time he saw Ye Qinghuai, he was worried about her safety and injury.

Ye Qinghuai felt guilty.

She was like a naughty child, so Lu Yanchen, who was a teacher and father, was still worried about her until he was dying, and couldn't feel at ease.

"Mr. is seriously injured. If you have anything to say, we'll talk about it when we go back to the palace." Ye Qinghuai said with a choked-up sob while resting on Lu Yanchen's arm.

She turned her head sideways, looked at Catcher who was kneeling beside her, and said, "Why don't you open the shackles soon?"

The head catcher hesitated for a moment, kowtowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, this person trespassed on the palace, massacred the imperial army, rode horses and fought with weapons, violated orders and resisted arrest, and committed several crimes. He needs to be handed over to Dali Temple for punishment."

Ye Qinghuai snorted coldly, and said: "Lu Yanchen entered the palace under my secret decree to escort him, and the imperial army deliberately blocked it, and it is disrespectful to resist the order! Luo Zichang has been dismissed and punished, you don't want to arrest the imperial guard You Yawei to ask , What are you doing to catch my escort hero?"

She was worried about Lu Yanchen's injury, so she didn't want to delay any longer, and she spoke harshly.

"Murder pays for life, and the law of heaven recurs. As the Son of Heaven, His Majesty should lead by example, how can you bend the law for personal gain?" Catcher bit his tongue.

"To put it this way, I also killed someone. Go get a pair of shackles and lock me up too."

The head catcher raised his head to look at Ye Qinghuai, and for a moment, Ye Qinghuai saw a trace of hesitation in his small eyes that turned around.

He really moved his mind and wanted to put the emperor in shackles.
