After the fiancé was cut off by the county owner

Chapter 39
Because Gong Yunniang's sudden sobriety took away most of Shen Chao's attention, this also gave Yan Li and Wu Han an opportunity to take advantage of it.

After the two quickly looked at each other, they only heard Wu Han yell Qian Chuan outside the door, and the next moment Qian Chuan rushed out from the darkness, quickly and swiftly dealt with the guards who were holding Qi Tanying and Ting Lan.

But it also alarmed Shen Chao. Seeing that Qi Tanying's master and servant were rescued, he swung his sword at Gong Yunniang furiously.

At the critical moment, Yan Li withdrew the long sword on Yang Yiqun's neck, turned the hilt, and threw the long sword out in the posture of throwing a dart, and the long sword stabbed Shen Chao's arm.

With a bang, the sword in his hand fell to the ground.

Unwilling, Shen Chao made a gesture to pick up the sword, but was kicked to the ground by Wu Wuhan.

Gong Yunniang was saved!Wu Han immediately stepped forward to check her physical condition.

Yan Li hurried to untie Qi Tanying.

Yang Yiqun, who had witnessed all these changes with his own eyes, thought of running away secretly when he saw that no one was paying attention to him.Unexpectedly, before reaching the door, Qianchuan blocked the way.

Yang Yiqun's legs went limp and he collapsed to the ground.

He knew that it was really over for him this time.

A fierce battle has ended, and there are still many things to deal with in the follow-up.Yan Li and several patrolmen under him needed treatment for arrow wounds, and Gong Yunniang was dying and needed medical treatment.

In such a comparison, Qi Tanying's wind-cold is considered mild, and after a night's sleep, nothing happened.

However, Yan Li's condition was not good. In the previous fight, he had several stab wounds on his arms and back, and later he was shot in the shoulder by an arrow.Although the knife wound looked severe, it was actually fine after bandaging and applying medicine.

The most serious one was the arrow wound on his shoulder, the arrow had a barb on it, and it was deeply sunk into the flesh.If he was careless when taking the arrow, his entire arm would be destroyed.

Fortunately, the doctor's medical skills are superb, and Yan Li's arm was saved, but he also passed out due to the pain and excessive blood loss.

When Qi Tanying went to see him in the morning, he was still awake.

During the period, the doctor came again to take his pulse and said that he was recovering well, but he was a little weak and needed to rest for a while.

Not long after the doctor left, Yan Li woke up.

At that time, Qi Tanying was wiping his face, when he suddenly opened his eyes, he was startled.

Unexpectedly, the culprit grinned.

Seeing that he was still a patient, Qi Tanying didn't bother with him, her eyes fell on his chapped lips, and she asked, "Would you like some water?"

Yan Li nodded.

Qi Tanying turned around to pour water.

After returning with the water glass, she remembered that Yan Li couldn't get up, so she went to the kitchen to find a small spoon, and fed him one spoon at a time.

Yan Li enjoyed such considerate care very much. For a moment, he actually hoped that his injury would heal slowly.

When Wu Han came, Qi Tanying had just finished feeding Yan Li with water, and was wiping the wet places with a handkerchief.

Yan Li glanced at him from the corner of his eye and pretended not to see him.Qi Tanying turned her back to him, so she didn't know that someone was coming.

Wu Han coughed lightly twice.

Only then did Qi Tanying know that someone was coming, and seeing that it was Wu Han, she said to Yan, "I'm going out first."

Yan Li gently grabbed her hand, "Are you still coming in the afternoon?"

Qi Tanying nodded.

Yan Li smiled happily, "I'll wait for you."

Seeing the two talking as if no one was there, Wu Han coughed twice to express his dissatisfaction.

Qi Tanying just went out.

After she left, Wu Han's face darkened, "Is Yan Sicheng not going to have a future if he is so indulging in the love of his children?"

Yan Li said without hesitation: "The lower officials do not agree with the son's point of view. The fiancé is injured, and the fiancée takes care of him. This is a beautiful talk of love and righteousness. What does this have to do with the future?"

Wu Han sneered, "Since they're a fiancée, as long as they don't get married for a day, there will be variables. If you are so close to her, aren't you afraid of ruining her reputation?"

Hearing this, the smile on Yan Li's face disappeared, "This is a matter between me and A Tan, don't bother me." He said: "Let's wait for this matter, after returning to the capital, I will go to the Qi family to discuss the wedding date. After the wedding date is set, the prince will be informed."

Wu Han's face darkened when he heard this, and the atmosphere in the room also became stagnant.

Fortunately, Yan Li is still sensible, no matter what, Wu Han is always his superior, no matter how dissatisfied he is with him, he can't just leave him alone.

He took the initiative to ask Wu Han why he came.

Wu Han said: "In the secret room where Gong Yunniang hides the evidence, besides the Gui party's criminal evidence, there is also a timber account book. Gong Yunniang is still awake, and the origin of the timber account book is not yet clear."

"The timber ledger is related to the Tangshan Palace?"

"Correct."

After the collapse of Jiaozhi Hall was restarted, all the evidence found in Dali Temple was not related to Gui Zhiyao, but now his account book was found in the secret room of Rongyang County Magistrate's Mansion.

Is it really related to him, or did someone take the opportunity to frame him?It seems that the answer will only be available after Gong Yunniang wakes up.

A few days later, Yan Li recovered from her injuries, and Gong Yunniang also woke up.

After learning that Gong Yunniang was awake, Wu Han immediately asked her about the timber ledger.After hearing this, Gong Yunniang looked puzzled, as if she didn't know what a timber ledger was.

Wu Han didn't ask any more questions when he saw this, but checked with her the number and content of the Cangzhou Gui party's criminal evidence.Gong Yunniang tried her best to finish the examination without any omissions.

Wu Han knew it all.

The next day, he left for Binyang Mansion in Cangzhou to meet Li Wei, the governor of Binyang Mansion.Before coming to Cangzhou, Emperor Yuanhe gave Wu Han a secret order to borrow troops from Binyang Mansion if necessary.

Gui thieves are rampant, if they go directly to Cangzhou to take people, a fierce battle will inevitably be inevitable.If Binyang Prefecture is willing to send troops, it will be much easier to catch the Gui thief.

After Li Wei, the governor of Binyang Mansion, saw the secret decree of Emperor Yuanhe, he readily borrowed 500 people to Wu Han.Three days later, Wu Han led the Binyang government army to Cangzhou to arrest Gui Zhiyao and his henchmen.

Seeing that the general situation was over, Gui Zhiyao had no choice but to arrest him, and the corrupt forces in Cangzhou who had been collaborating with him were also uprooted. The news shocked both inside and outside the court.

In order to stabilize the situation in Cangzhou, after discussing with the crown prince, Emperor Yuanhe quickly assigned temporary escrow officials to take office in Cangzhou. After they took office, Gui Zhiyao and other criminal officials were escorted back to Beijing for trial.

I left Beijing in July and returned to Kyoto in mid-October.

After Yan Li sent Qi Tanying back to Qi's house, he immediately followed Wu Han to the East Palace to meet the prince.

After summarizing the details of the collapse of the Jiaozhi Hall and the corruption case of Gui Zhiyao in Cangzhou, he reported them to the prince one by one, and the prince became angrier the more he heard it.

At this moment, Wu Han received a news that caught him off guard.

"Your Highness, Gui Zhiyao committed suicide after leaving a letter of confession."

The prince was stunned for a moment, and his expression changed instantly, "Is it really suicide?"

Wu Han said: "The patriarch of Dali Temple conducted a rough autopsy on the body, and found no trace of homicide for the time being." After finishing speaking, he presented Gui Zhiyao's confession letter sent by Qianchuan's order.

After the crown prince quickly read the confession, his expression turned serious, "Go, take the confession to see Father."

When the group of people just walked outside Qianyuan Hall, someone outside Qianyuan Hall arrived one step earlier than him.The person who came was none other than the mother of King Qian, concubine Shu who was born in the Marquis of Wu'an.

Concubine Shu, who usually likes brocade clothes and luxurious clothes, took off her golden hairpin and jade ring at this moment, and kneeled outside the Qianyuan Hall in a plain dress with a sad expression.

The prince couldn't help laughing, as expected of the Marquis of Wu'an's residence, the news was really well-informed.

Concubine Shu also saw the prince, and when her eyes fell on the brocade box held in Yang Rongbao's hand, her expression changed a few times.

The prince glanced at her with a smile on his face, and then took Yang Rongbao into the Qianyuan Hall.Concubine Shu looked at his back, her face was as cold as ice for an instant.
