When Daheng left and walked out of the court door, an old man was brought in from outside.
Even though he held an umbrella, half of the old man's robe was still soaked.
The government guards came over with several pieces of dry flannel to wipe him. The old man kicked them away. The anklets hindered his movement, so the extent of the kick was not large.
The government guards quickly got out of the way, but soon came around again and continued to wipe him.
The old man tried to kick them again. After a few rounds, the old man gave up.
Looking up at the smiling girl standing in front of the court holding a book, the old man's eyebrows were filled with anger: "Why be so hypocritical?"
"You are still valuable," Xia Zhaoyi said with a smile.
"What is your intention in arresting me for so long without trial or beating?"
"You haven't been tried yet, but you've attracted a lot of people to arrest you."
You will miss most of your chances of luring the snake out of its hole."
Fan Zhuyi frowned: "Are you making a fuss about me?"
"You and I are jointly trying to find 'those people' who were very calm before. I could only throw a stone at them first to make a splash. But... I am not the first person to think of making a fuss about you."
ah."
"Who is that?"
"Why do you think Lin Qingfeng was captured by 'those people'?" Xia Zhaoyi curled her lips.
As her voice fell, a wheelchair was slowly pushed outside the door.
Shen Xu was sitting in a wheelchair, a pair of dark eyes falling on her.
Because the sky was dark, several large lanterns were hung under the eaves in front of the Yamen. The water flowed along the eaves and splashed on the umbrellas held by the Xia Jiajun soldiers.
Xia Zhaoyi looked into Shen Shu's eyes and continued: "Because your precious apprentice, Shen Dalangjun, did something to the beads that Bian Yuanfeng sold off, making 'those people' mistakenly think that these beads are your apprentice nephew."
Lin Qingfeng owned it, so Lin Qingfeng was taken away as a descendant of the Qiao family."
Fan Zhuyi was shocked. Following Xia Zhaoyi's gaze, he turned his head and looked behind him. When he saw Shen Shu, who was so self-possessed in the wind and rain, his expression suddenly changed: "Apprentice!!"
She didn't want to meet anymore, but she did. Shen Xu could only smile: "Master."
"You, you!" Fan Zhuyi pointed at Xia Zhaoyi, "What she said is true, but is it true?"
"Master, if you believe it, it will be true; if you don't believe it, it will be false."
"Is it true or false?"
Shen Shu smiled again and looked at Xia Zhaoyi: "Miss Ah Li, I haven't seen you for a long time."
"Fortunately," Xia Zhaoyi smiled back, "I don't think you miss your master and brother that you haven't seen for a long time."
"In the future, there will be many times to reminisce about the past, but right now I am ill. If you have anything to do, please tell me quickly." Shen Shu said with a smile.
"I'm fine, I just saw that your master is in trouble," Xia Zhaoyi looked at Fan Zhuyi, "right, Saint Qingzhou."
"Good disciple, good disciple." Fan Zhuyi almost gritted his teeth.
"Listen, your master even misses you." Xia Zhaoyi said.
"Why bother," Shen Xu looked at Xia Zhaoyi, "You and I are not enemies, enemies, so why bother."
"Let's have some fun," Xia Zhaoyi's eyes were bright, "How about I put your master and you in a darkroom together?"
The smile on Shen Xu's face could no longer be stretched, and her eyes became sharp.
Xia Zhaoyi looked at Zhang Ji and said, "Take them all down."
"Yes!" Zhang Ji said.
Several Xia Jiajun soldiers came forward, holding long black cloths in their hands, and covered the eyes of Fan Zhuyi and Shen Xu respectively.
Fan Zhuyi was extremely repulsive, but he was no match for these strong soldiers and was quickly subdued.
Shen Xu was calm on the contrary. When Zhang Ji came over with the black cloth, he kept looking at Xia Zhaoyi with dark fire in his eyes.
Then, he closed his eyes and let Zhang Ji tie the black cloth tightly.
The long, satin-like hair was wetted by the rain and clung to him slightly sticky, but it did not detract from his beauty. With the blessing of this black eye-covering cloth, it only added a pale, sickly and broken beauty.
A soldier pushed his wheelchair out of the courtroom, and Fan Zhuyi was also taken away.
There were several carriages waiting at the side door of the backyard, and the master and apprentice were led into the carriage one after another.
As the carriage left the Yamen in the heavy rain, Xia Zhaoyi said calmly: "Next one."
Zhan Ning responded: "Yes."
Turn around and leave.
Next, except for the two men in black who were tied to the cell wall, were the other four accomplices.
The rain became heavier and heavier, and the entire Hengxiang Mansion was cleared of people as God poured water.
Ordinary people would put out the wax early to save candlelight. Looking down from a high altitude, one after another it was dark and lightless, especially in the old city, where there was not a single light on the streets for ten miles.
At the time of Xu, Xia Zhaoyi sent ten carriages away from the government office.
In addition to Master Shen and his apprentice, the four men in black also included Zhang Yiqian from Tianxing Chamber of Commerce and three stewards from Feishuang Pavilion.
Under the influence of the heavy rain, everyone who was blindfolded had no idea where they would be taken, and their sense of direction was completely lost.
In the Yamen court, Zhan Ning led three people in, all of them were elegant and handsome scholars.
The floor of the lobby was full of water stains from the people coming and going. The people standing on both sides were not government guards, but soldiers who had spent half their lives on the battlefield. Even the eyes of those who had returned from the bloody battlefield were tempered by cold light and blood blades.
The three scholars' steps were stagnant, and they raised their eyes to look at the slender girl who was sitting behind the public case looking at something. The legendary woman was still young, but she was already famous all over the world.
At this time, another carriage stopped outside the door, a soldier got out of the car, held an umbrella, and led another scholar.
The three scholars were stunned. Xu Xiyi stepped forward and exclaimed in a low voice: "Zi De!"
Yao Zhen looked up at them. His face was obviously pale and thin.
"Zide, where have you been these days?" Hao Weifeng asked.
Yao Zhen remained silent and walked into the courtroom.
"Yao Zhen has met Miss Ali." Yao Zhen clasped his hands.
"Second Miss, everyone is here." Zhan Ning said.
Xia Zhaoyi closed the book in his hand and raised his eyes to look at them.
The three scholars looked at her and slowly walked up to Yao Zhen. Following Yao Zhen's example, they all raised their hands and said in unison: "I've seen Miss Ali..."
Xia Zhaoyi said: "You are all Zhuo Changzong's lifelong friends?"
Except for Yao Zhen, the other three looked at each other, wondering what her purpose was.
Yao Zhen said: "I, Hao Weifeng, Xu Xiyi and three others are, but Dong Yanjiang is not included."
"Who is Dong Yanjiang?"
The scholar whose name was called was slightly smaller, and his eyes were the largest among the others, like copper bells.
"I, it's me..." Dong Yanjiang said timidly.
Xia Zhaoyi glanced at him and looked back at Yao Zhen.
These three people were all asked by Yao Zhen to come over.
Yao Zhen lowered his head slightly and said: "Dong Yanjiang is good at reporting news, especially to Mr. Guo Guan."
Hearing this, Xu Xi looked at Dong Yanjiang and said, "Yes! This person is extremely arrogant and has to talk about trivial matters!"
