Tang Dynasty detective

Chapter 332
Yang Ran nodded, and said seriously: "I will wait for you for the rest of my life. If you die, I will die with you. I swear I will not let you be alone."

"Young Master, why are you doing this? Hongyan is not worth it." Hongyan said in a low voice with tears in his eyes.

"For me, as long as you are safe and sound, it is worth my death." Yang Ran helped her wipe the tears on her face with his sleeve, and said softly, "Yan'er, do you know that when I know you When I returned to Luoyang, I was so happy. But I didn't expect to meet again in this cell."

Hongyan suddenly smiled wryly, and she sighed: "This is all a trick of good fortune. In fact, I knew my end a long time ago, but I didn't expect it to come so soon."

"Yan'er, Master Li said that as long as you tell him everything you know, he will intercede with the Holy One and save your life." Yang Ran said while holding her hand.

Hong Yanxiu frowned slightly, she looked at Yang Ran with complex expressions in her eyes.

"Yan'er, I am not a lobbyist invited by Master Li. I just want to be with the woman I love, find a quiet mountain village to live in, have two acres of land, have a couple of children, and live an ordinary life." Yang Ran tilted his head slightly, with a longing expression on his face.

Hongyan also seemed to be attracted by the picture he painted, with a warm light in his eyes.

"Yan'er, get out of the arena, let's live a good life together, don't care about right and wrong in the arena, isn't that good?" Yang Ran looked at her expectantly, and said seriously.

Hongyan bit her lip, and said with a complicated expression: "Master, Hongyan has committed a lot of crimes, and he cannot escape death in the end. Hongyan can only repay your love in the next life."

Yang Ran was taken aback, he shook his head vigorously and said: "No, Mr. Li promised me that as long as you confess everything, you can be punished lightly. Yan'er, although I, Yang Ran, have no skills, what I said I will definitely do it. No matter what happens to you, I will always be by your side!"

"My lord...why are you doing this?" Hongyan's voice began to choke.

Yang Ran looked at Hongyan and said seriously: "Yan'er, if you die, I won't live alone."

The two looked at each other, neither of them spoke, and the cell became extremely quiet for a while.

Outside the cell door, Li Canghai and Di Huai stood quietly.

"Cang Hai, aren't you afraid that they are plotting to escape from prison?" Di Huai turned around and looked at the two people in the cell, and asked in a low voice.

Li Canghai clasped his hands in his sleeves, and said without any worries: "Brother Di, don't worry, Yang Ran will not help Hongyan escape from prison."

"Why?" Di Huai asked in surprise.

"Although Hongyan is a member of 'Ni Lin Xuan Wu', she has indeed committed many murders, but she is not a cruel person. At least, her feelings for Yang Ran are not false. In addition, she has lied to Yang Ran before, and she has always been in her heart. She has guilt, so facing Yang Ran, what she said will far exceed what we obtained during the interrogation." Li Canghai said with narrowed eyes.

Di Huai nodded suddenly: "No wonder you went to the White Horse Temple and brought Yang Ran here."

Li Canghai shook his head with a smile, and said, "No, I didn't go to the White Horse Temple to find Yang Ran, but Yang Ran came to find me."

"Oh?" Di Huai suddenly felt a little interesting.

"After Yang Ran learned that Hongyan and the others had been captured, he came to me, hoping that I could spare Hongyan's life. But Yang Ran knew that Hongyan was a repeat offender after all, and wanted to escape her, but he didn't want to die. Is it easy? So, he made a deal with me." Li Canghai touched his nose and said.

"I see, he's going to persuade Hongyan, but you have to keep her alive." Di Huai said in a deep voice.

"That's right. As long as Hongyan confesses everything she knows, it can be regarded as a crime and meritorious service, and it's not difficult to spare her life." Li Canghai nodded.

"But what if Yang Ran can't tell Hongyan?" Di Huai asked worriedly.

Li Canghai glanced diagonally at the cell where the injured Taoist was being held, and he noticed that the injured Taoist was looking in this direction.

"It doesn't matter, even if Yang Ran can't convince Hongyan, there is no loss for us, but it will be an opportunity." Li Canghai said with narrowed eyes.

"Opportunity? What opportunity?" Di Huai asked confusedly.

Li Canghai smiled calmly, and made a silent gesture to him.

Seeing Li Canghai's confident expression, although Di Huai was suspicious, he didn't ask any further.

At this time, Yang Ran came out of the prison cell, saluted Li Canghai and said, "My lord, Hongyan has promised to tell everything she knows."

Li Canghai and Di Huai looked at each other in surprise, and they hurriedly followed Yang Ran into the cell.

"My lord, is what you promised me before still count?" Yang Ran asked, staring at Li Canghai intently.

"If what she says is useful, it means that she has done meritorious deeds. This official can pardon her death crimes." Li Canghai said calmly with his hands behind his back.

"Hongyan, can you rest assured now? Master Li always keeps his word, I believe he will not break his word." Yang Ran walked to Hongyan's side and said softly.

Hongyan looked at Yang Ran, and there was also a touch of tenderness in her eyes. She nodded and said, "Don't worry, my lord, Hongyan knows what to do. If you have any questions, just ask."

Li Canghai nodded, he pondered for a moment, and asked, "What kind of organization is 'Ni Lin Xuan Wu'?"

"Returning to my lord's words, 'Ni Lin Xuan Wu' has existed for decades. This organization has never participated in the struggles of the rivers and lakes, but has been paying attention to the court. I don’t know much about it, I only know that this organization is extremely powerful, but I didn’t expect that their purpose would be to rebel.” Hongyan sighed.

"So, you didn't know their real purpose before this?" Li Canghai questioned.

Hongyan shook his head: "'Nilin Xuanwu' acted very cautiously, each leader was responsible for a part of the plan, except for the core few, the rest of the people didn't know what the purpose was, and I only found out before March that they wanted to force the emperor to give up .”

Li Canghai and Di Huai glanced at each other, and their expressions became solemn at the same time.

From what Hongyan said, it is not difficult to see how cautious the mastermind behind the 'Nilin Xuanwu' was. Even when he had already controlled the emperor at that time, he still did not show up.

It can be seen that this person's mind is absolutely extraordinary.

"Then why did you go looking for the 'Emperor Wu's Treasure'? What is hidden in that brocade box?" Li Canghai couldn't help asking, recalling what happened in Luoyang more than a month ago.

"Looking for the 'Martial Emperor's Treasure' was ordered by Lord Lin, and its purpose is to find the brocade box. As for what is hidden in the brocade box, I don't know." Hongyan said after thinking about it.
