Chapter 89, Scene [-], Breaking the Prison, Part [-]

"Sister Jia, Uncle Baili already told us when we were on the boat. In fact, the two of you have known each other for a long time. The reason why you can disguise yourself and hide such a powerful soft sword on your body is also because of him. because of it, right?"

Ning Yue muttered to herself while walking forward, sorting out her chaotic thoughts.However, as she was speaking, she suddenly realized that the woman behind her did not respond at all, and immediately turned to look, only to find that Leng Jiayun had long since disappeared.

"Sister Jia? Sister Jia!"

At the beginning, the girl felt that she and the other party were only temporarily separated, and looked around on the bustling Zitong Street.But among the crowd shuttling around, where can I find the figure in the purple dress?On the contrary, it was her anxious look that attracted the attention of others more and more.

Ning Yue couldn't help buzzing in her head.A series of changes and encounters in just a few days made her panic, helpless and at a loss like a small fish caught from the sea.In a trance, the girl suddenly had the illusion that everything in front of her eyes was the same as the countless nightmares she had had in the past three years, and she would finally encounter a moment of awakening.

However, it wasn't until she was bumped severely by a passer-by that the dazed girl came back to her senses, and the blurred crowd in front of her eyes became clear again.Then she realized that the so-called nightmare was just wishful thinking.

Now, driven by instinct, she unexpectedly walked near Jiayunzhai without knowing it.Something major happened in the street, causing the surrounding crowd to rush forward along the street like crucian carp crossing the river.

Being pushed and coerced by people around, Ning Yue had no choice but to move forward together.When he got closer, he saw a group of heavily armed and soap-clothed officials entrusting Jiayun Zhai with water.At present, all the diners in the store have run away, and the furniture, porcelain, ornaments, calligraphy and paintings have been moved out one after another, sealed, and then loaded into more than ten bullock carts parked outside the door to be taken away.

"...a group of people in Jiayunzhai, and the traitor Qi Ziyin, privately taught and accepted to Baili. They secretly practiced witchcraft and sorcery, and conspired to enter the palace to assassinate. The crime is unforgivable. Today, the court officer serves as the Marquis of Jinghai. Order to seal up this store. If anyone can provide clues to help arrest a group of people and bring them to justice, a thousand gold rewards will be awarded, and a hundred households will be sealed!"

Ting Wei, who led the troops to raid the house, held a warrant of arrest with a red official seal in his hand, stood in front of the store and read aloud.There was an uproar among the crowd, but only the condemnation that fell to one side could be heard:

"It turned out to be a traitor. I have long thought that there is something wrong with the proprietress surnamed Leng!"

"That's right, a woman from Dongli traveled thousands of miles to Wanzhou to open such a store, and if you think about it with your toes, you can tell what good intentions there are!"

"I think I used to visit this restaurant a while ago, and I don't know if there was anything wrong with eating it! Who would have thought that such a beautiful proprietress can actually use witch spells and secrets?"

"What do you know? As the saying goes, the more beautiful a woman is, the more dangerous she is! It is said that Jiayunzhai has been open in our city for more than [-] years, but the proprietress looks like a woman in her early twenties. She is as delicate and pretty as a girl, she must have used some kind of enchanting secret technique!"

"Yes, maybe after the officers and soldiers capture her, she will reveal her face as a wrinkled seductress!"

"It's no wonder that the food here is better than other places. If it's not complete, it's because some addictive Gu worms were added to it!"

Jiayunzhai has been opened in Mulu City for more than [-] years, and almost half of the residents have come to the store more than once to show off their appetites.However, at this moment, this famous restaurant in Dongli, which has a small reputation in the whole Wanzhou, has become a black shop among the people in the blink of an eye.And Leng Jiayun's once admirable craftsmanship and appearance immediately became a harmful witchcraft, and was trampled, trampled, and cast aside without hesitation.

It seems that everyone has opened their eyes overnight, recognized the whole truth, and was even able to categorically list the various crimes committed by the other party.It's just that even they themselves don't know whether those vicious words like knives that come out of their mouths are to satisfy the boring conversation among strangers, or to try to separate them from the so-called traitors and thieves who are wanted. A connection that no one cares about at all.

These words drifted into the ears of Ning Yue, who was hiding among the crowd, and seemed even harsher.She never imagined that people would be so easy to listen to hearsay and gossip without hesitation.But now, these ordinary people who have nothing to do with this matter are pushing Jia Yunzhai, and her friends who are related to this matter, into the abyss of eternal doom.

"My lord, my lord, I really didn't do anything!"

When she saw the clerk in the store being dragged out of the door by two soldiers, the red-haired girl's heart suddenly tightened even more.The guy was not a few years older than Ning Yue, his eye sockets and the corners of his mouth were bruised and swollen from the beating, and the neckline was soaked in blood from the beating.He was pulled by the hair by the officers and soldiers, and he cried and begged for mercy, but no one around him was willing to listen.

However, Ning Yue flinched at this moment—although she was usually taken care of by the other party, the girl was not only worried about whether Sister Jia had fallen into the hands of the officers and soldiers, but also worried about Xiang who had been out for a whole day but had no news. Baili and Jiangyan.And what disturbed her the most was Qi Ziyin who had already been sent to prison and was about to be executed in the street tomorrow.

At this time, she can only make a selfish choice - if everyone has been captured by the officers and soldiers, and she has not revealed her whereabouts, she may be the last hope of her companions!

The girl trembled involuntarily from top to bottom, but tried her best to suppress the tears that were about to burst from her eyes and the overwhelming guilt in her heart, and retreated, step by step against the flow of people to avoid it.

However, before the girl had retreated far, the back bumped into a person's body firmly.This bump was not light, and Ning Yue was very afraid that the other party would scold her severely because of this, and even more worried that it would attract the attention of officers and soldiers.But the other party didn't even say a word, instead, he held the girl's arms with his hands, and whispered in her ear:
"Miss, I finally found you!"

The red-haired girl was taken aback, but when she turned her head, she saw that it was none other than Granny Cen who had been hiding in the Loufang all this time!
"Grandma, I—I—"

When she finally saw a familiar face, the teardrops that had been suppressed in Ning Yue's eyes immediately rolled down.But the old lady took her hand, turned and left without any explanation:
"Don't cry! It's not the time to talk right now, so hurry up and follow me!"

At this moment, the desperate girl felt like a walking corpse, unable to think at all, so she followed the old woman away from Jiayunzhai ignorantly.After finally fading out of sight of the officers and soldiers, she opened her mouth with some difficulty, her voice had already become hoarse:

"Grandma Cen, where are you taking me?"

"Now that things are up to now, the young lady should leave here with the old man. Now the chariots and horses have been arranged outside the city. As long as we leave the city gate, those officers and soldiers will no longer be able to catch you."

Hearing what the other party said, Ning Yue immediately broke free from the hand held by the old woman: "I can't go——I have to go to save—"

"Miss, don't you still plan to save the young master of Ye Kingdom? I advise you to stop being naive! Even if we have a thousand elite soldiers under our command, it is absolutely impossible to rush into the heavily guarded prison of the Ting Wei Division to save people." of!"

"But--"

"It's nothing! Miss, you are not of the same race as these people on land, so why do you need to get involved in their disputes? Today's incident is caused by their struggle for power and profit, and has nothing to do with you and me!"

Granny Cen's tone became tough, she never thought of Ning Yue but still shook her head desperately, refusing to obey:

"But I've already been involved! Jiang Yan and Ziyin are both my friends, so how can I refuse to save them?!"

"Miss, I advise you to give up on this idea. That young master friend of yours is now assassinating Qi Heyin, the current ruler of Ye Kingdom! Killing the king and father, any one of them is a capital crime!"

"Ziyin—killing the king and father? How is this possible! He is so kind that he can't even step on a grasshopper!" The red-haired girl didn't know the details of why her companion was arrested before. Qi Shouyu framed him.At this moment, upon hearing what the old woman said, her face suddenly turned pale.

"What is impossible in the world? There are always times when people are pushed into a hurry. Besides, such tragedies have already happened during the Moon Festival, and anyone who puts them on it may do something outrageous." !"

"I don't believe it! Ziyin has never killed anyone with a knife in the critical moment of life and death on Hailing Island, so how could he kill his own father with his own hands?!"

"Miss, don't think people's hearts are too simple. Most of the people in this world are selfish. If only one of the two can live, they will choose themselves without hesitation, even if the other is their own flesh and blood. Dearest!"

The old woman on the opposite side suddenly realized that Ning Yue, who had just returned to the city, seemed to be ignorant of the ins and outs of the whole incident, so she asked, "Miss, don't you know what happened in the palace on the Moon Festival? "

The red-haired girl shook her head blankly.Until now, she had only learned about Qi Ziyin's imprisonment from Leng Jiayun, but she still didn't know what caused the whole incident.

Granny Cen immediately sighed and said: "On the night of the Moon Festival, Duke Ye suddenly fell into a madness, and swung his sword to kill all the people who were watching the moon in the Liuying Stage, including 31 attendants, six princes and nine princes. Princess. The only ones who survived the catastrophe were the eldest son Qi Zixiu who had half of his arm cut off, and three or two palace maids who were killed."

Ning Yue couldn't help being shocked by this bad news, and couldn't believe her ears.She originally thought that what happened on Hailing Islet was quite sensational, but she never thought that such a frightening change would happen in the city in just over a month!
"Where did Granny Cen learn about this?" the girl asked again after a moment of silence.

"It's all the news secretly spread by a maid who was placed in the palace by the old man. Since that night, the entire palace has been sealed off, which is enough to prove that this statement is true."

Ning Yue still expressed her doubts: "But I clearly heard from Ziyin that his father is a respectful and kind king, how could he suddenly become a murderous demon?"

"I had the same doubts before, and then I sent the maid to investigate near the Liuying Terrace. According to her, there were heavy traces of spells in the hall, and it seemed that only high-level warlocks could Casting the spell of confusion."

"It must be Ziyin's uncle who used some despicable tricks! He has been plotting to usurp the throne for more than a year or two, and now he must cast a spell secretly to drive the king into madness, so that he can be defeated without a single soldier. Eliminate all possible successors to the throne. You can also use an excuse to send Ziyin to prison to eradicate the last threat!"

Ning Yue finally saw the truth of the matter clearly, and wished she could kill the culprit of Yu's secret conspiracy immediately.However, the old woman in front of her covered her mouth:
"Miss, don't say any more, don't say any more! Now even if you know what Jinghaihou did, what can you do? The opponent has military power, and no one in the entire Wanzhou can fight it. But these things will make people move their heads. Where did you hear it from?"

"It was the Marquis of Jinghai who admitted it in front of me on Hailing Island! Moreover, he knew about our clan, and he had been secretly looking for the location of Cangliu City. The secret of breath!"

Hearing what the girl said, the face of the old woman on the opposite side also sank: "Miss, this matter is no small matter. If it is so, you and I must not stay in this city any longer, you must go with the old man!"

"I'm not going! Didn't Granny Cen have been secretly investigating the matter of Jinghaihou and Huoshuanzhuo before, so you should know that this person has long intended to usurp the throne, and you should also understand that if you continue to let him go, it will be serious. What a threat to our family! If you don't help me save people right now, I will save them myself!"

Ning Yue's emotions became more and more agitated, but she kept biting her lower lip, refusing to listen to the old woman's advice.However, just as she turned around and ran a few steps, she felt someone hit the back of her neck hard, and immediately she spun and fell limply.

"Miss, I'm sorry, I can't just watch you go to die. Since you refuse to leave, don't blame me for making such a bad plan. Please forgive me!"

Before she completely lost consciousness, Granny Cen's face reappeared in the girl's sight.The other party bent down and put her on an ownerless steed tied to the side of the road, then he also turned over and jumped on the horse's back, whipping her whip and galloping towards the gate of the city!
