Book with Emperor

Chapter 19 Hidden
A quarter of an hour later.

"Ah!"

Han Zhengwei rubbed his nose.

A golden operator came from the next cell and threw a pile of dry straw, "Here, little brother."

Master Han Xiaohou picked up the pile of hay and looked at it, feeling very sad.

Think of him as the young master who was dressed in fine clothes and fine food in the Weihou Mansion, who lifted up the princess dress in Longquan Palace, and sprinkled gold and silver on Zhuque Street, but now he has to live on dirty hay in a dark prison cell.

Han Zhengwei sighed and pulled the hay on his body, thinking that if the current emperor found out that he was secretly helping Yue Wentian escape, then he would definitely be beaten to death by his father.

"Little master?"

The golden operator next door smiled at him flatteringly, "Let me figure out for you when you can go out? Three pennies and one hexagram, if it doesn't work, the money will not be refunded."

"Go away, you liar, if it doesn't work, you'll charge a fart of money!"

"Tsk tsk."

The cell was silent for a while, only then did Chang Fengyuan walk in with a majestic expression.

Han Zhengwei immediately stood up when he saw it, "Let us out!"

Chang Fengyuan was startled by the shout, raised his eyebrows and stared over, "Who?"

"Your grandpa!"

Han Zhengwei grabbed the cell and stared at him through gritted teeth, "The prefect of Tong'an, right? Do you know who the young master is?"

Chang Fengyuan glanced at the girl in white sitting in the corner, and the young man beside her. His complexion was darker. At first glance, he looked different from the wanted portrait. No wonder his officials didn't recognize him.

As for the girl in white, she was exactly the same as in the portrait.

Chang Fengyuan's heart was full of turmoil, but it didn't show on his face.

Until Qin Guanyue suddenly said, "My lord, it's very cold in this prison, I'm weak, can you give us a quilt?"

Chang Fengyuan remained expressionless, "Stealing tribute is a capital offense, how dare you make a request to me?"

"I, Daxi, the founding emperor of the country, was imprisoned when he was not enthroned, so after the founding of the country, he issued a decree that no one should be treated harshly, except those who are heinous. Thinking about it, even if we are convicted, we can't be regarded as heinous people."

Qin Guanyue looked up at him, and asked with a smile, "Besides...what about the evidence, my lord? Da Xi's law has been written, so there is no doubt about it."

Han Zhengwei frowned, "What do you mean?"

"If you prove guilty, you can't prove your innocence."

Yue Wentian said lightly, "To accuse a person of guilt, the accuser must produce evidence, instead of the accused person proving his innocence."

Qin Guanyue looked calm, "As the magistrate of Tong'an, my lord must be very familiar with the law."

Chang Fengyuan stared at her for a moment, then turned and left.

Han Zhengwei's heart was inexplicably agitated. He looked at Qin Guanyue with eyes full of admiration. He leaned over and asked softly, "Have you ever memorized the Law of Daxi?"

"This is Qin Tianjian's daily lesson."

"..."

The little Hou Ye, who had studied in the Imperial College but hadn't learned anything, felt uncomfortable again.

At this time, two hours had passed since they were arrested, but the sky outside was still gray.

Yue Wentian stood up and looked out the window, and said calmly, "It's raining."

"yes."

Qin Guanyue narrowed her eyes slightly, a little absent-minded.

Yue Wentian glanced back at her, and suddenly heard the sound of wings beating.

He turned his head to look, and saw a white pigeon flying down from the cell window.

Young Master Han looked at the bird with his chin and sighed, "I wish I had wings."

Yue Wentian ignored him, broke up the biscuits in his hand and sprinkled them outside the window.

The pigeon stared at him for a while with its round and dark eyes, and then lowered its head to eat the food.

"You guys really can't think about it."

Jin Suanzi, who was idle next door, asked with a happy expression, "This Yun family is a local snake in Jiujiang. Even the prefect of San'an eats their family's food. I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to go out."

A young bodyguard next to him said indignantly, "We've even checked whether the suitcase has a mezzanine. Where can he put his things?"

"On the body, things are hidden on Zhang Tian's body."

Tang Hai looked at the ground with deep eyes, "Yun Zihu didn't ask Zhang Tian to follow the supervision, but put things on Zhang Tian. That night, Hua Wukong entered the room where Zhang Tian slept, not the place where the tribute was placed. room."

"Hiding it on your body?"

Han Zhengwei was puzzled, and then began to wonder again, "Since it's so hidden, how did that Hua Wukong know?"

"No matter how he knows, it has nothing to do with us if this thing is lost. His Yun family is really deceiving people!"

"..."

Tang Hai raised his hand to stop their words, and said in a deep voice, "It's useless to say these things now, we have to figure out how to get out."

The topic came back again, how to get out?

Han Zhengwei cast his gloomy eyes on Qin Guanyue and Yue Wentian, gritted his teeth and said, "I remember that you two seemed very happy to come in before?"

"It's really safe here."

"Where is it safe?"

Han Zhengwei whispered, "Aren't you afraid that Yun Zihu will kill us?"

"No, the Tang family is very popular in the world, and the Yun family will not offend easily, not to mention Jiang Huan is outside."

"Then... then what if we are handed over to Lou Binghe by the Governor of An?"

"He will not."

Han Zhengwei was taken aback, "Why?"

"What do you think he came here for?" Qin Guanyue asked.

"Of course it is to torture the whereabouts of our tribute."

"Did he ask?"

"...Then why is he here?"

"Come to make sure we're the ones he's looking for."

Qin Guanyue casually watched the pigeons flying away from the window, and said in a low voice, "See if we are wanted fugitives."

"..."

Han Zheng was so frightened that he almost sat down on the wet and dirty ground, "You mean Lou has already chased after him?"

Yue Wentian put away the leftover biscuits from feeding the birds, turned around and sat down, "He and the Yun family got together for profit, but now that important things are lost and people are panicking, he naturally wants to leave a way out for himself."

Han Zhengwei is not stupid, he will understand after thinking about it for a while, and finally understand why these two people are willing to run away to the magistrate's prison.

But he still felt uncomfortable, and asked Qin Guanyue, "What if the surname Chang handed us over?"

"Not in case."

Qin Guanyue said, "What you see is the result, but you don't know how many entanglements there are."

Her words sounded inexplicably startling to Han Zhengwei. Looking at the woman in front of him, he suddenly remembered what Yue Wentian had said, and a strange feeling arose in his heart.

Only later did he realize that this feeling was called jealousy.

That night, the magistrate of Tong'an hosted a banquet in the welcome building for General Xuanwei. In addition to local officials, there were also many rich and noble gentry.

Singing and dancing slowly, playing with flute and flute, Chang Fengyuan looked at this General Sun blushing while pushing cups and changing cups, and began to inadvertently test the other party's intentions.

"Not the traitor of Qin Tianjian!"

Sun Chu patted the table drunkenly, seeming quite dissatisfied.

Chang Fengyuan's heart moved slightly, and he pretended to be puzzled and said, "How do you say this? Can the mere Qin Tianjian traitor still escape Ling Yunqi?"

Sun Chu sneered, "What do you know? If it's just an ordinary Qin Tianjian, do you know who the defector is?"

"What identity is it?"

"The first apprentice of Qin Tianjian."

Chang Fengyuan's heart skipped a beat.
