Yan Ling got the news earlier and sent someone to find Xue Yi.
There were people from Duke Zhao's palace in the imperial army, and Chai Qi helped. I thought it would not be difficult to find him. I didn't expect that they were so good at hiding, and even Chai Qi couldn't find a trace.
However, there is no need to talk about these twists and turns. Yan Ling simply said: "I just happened to see you entering the alley on the street. That alley is a dead end, unless you want to enter the Daguangming Temple."
If it were someone else who said this, Xue Yi would definitely not believe it easily, but he would be willing to believe someone who is willing to pay 10,000 taels of silver to help him.
"So that's it." Xue Yi couldn't help but sigh. He thought he was being cautious enough, but he didn't expect that he was discovered before he even entered Daguangming Temple. Could this trip really be in vain?
"What are you doing?" Yan Ling asked, "Are you trying to assassinate someone?"
Seeing Xue Yi opening his mouth to speak, the woman interrupted him: "Brother Xue!"
She glanced at the other side warily, and her meaning was self-evident.
Xu Yin smiled and said: "If we had malicious intentions, you would be a corpse now."
As she said that, she lifted up some of her sleeves, revealing the sleeve arrows that were tightly attached to her arms. When she was restrained just now, as long as she fired backhand, it was impossible for the opponent to escape from such a close distance.
The woman showed a shocked expression. Do ladies these days always bring murderous weapons with them when they go out?
Xue Yi was not surprised. He guessed that the other party was the young master of Duke Zhao that day, so he made special inquiries and concluded that the girl accompanying him was Miss Xu San, who had recently become famous in the capital. A girl who dared to assassinate Wu Zijing would be
An ordinary noble lady?
He raised his hand to stop me and said, "Ji Sanmei, don't worry. Do you still remember the money I got back? It was because of this young master's help."
The woman suddenly understood, her eyes quickly softened as she looked at them, and she clasped her fists and said, "It turns out that the young master acted righteously, and Ji Sanniang, a civilian girl, is extremely grateful."
Ji Sanniang? Xu Yin’s eyes narrowed.
This is also one of the future generals of the Second Young Master Yan. Although she is not as brave and good at fighting as Xue Yi, she is good at reconnaissance and tracking. Her scout battalion is a major contributor to the Second Young Master Yan's sweep of the Central Plains.
No wonder Chai Qi found no trace, it turned out that Yuji Sanniang was here.
Naturally, Yan Ling didn't know these things yet. He smiled and nodded, then asked: "Then the money can't solve your problem?"
The expressions of the two of them dimmed, and Xue Yi said: "We think about things too simply. Money cannot solve all problems."
Xu Yin's answer was not surprising at all. He also met Yan Ling in his previous life, and later fell in love with Liu Bian.
She asked: "Why, the person you wanted to save was not saved?"
Ji Sanniang was startled and looked towards her.
Xue Yi had already explained it for her: "Miss Xu San guessed last time that we wanted money to save people."
"Oh." Ji Sanniang noticed that what he said was a guess, so Miss Xu San had inferred it herself? A girl who can carry a murderous weapon with her is really amazing!
Xue Yi turned back and replied with a wry smile: "We thought too simply. We thought we could bribe those officials if we had money. As a result..."
Listening to these few words, Yan Ling guessed something like: "You have a friend who is in jail, so you use money to bribe the prison officer?"
"Yes." Having already guessed it, Xue Yi stopped covering up and told the story roughly.
A colleague he met when he was a police officer was transferred to Gyeonggi County. He found out that his boss was accepting bribes and wasting no time on human life, so he reported it to the police. Unexpectedly, he was actually in the same group, and instead he was framed and imprisoned.
When Xue Yi learned about this, he couldn't just sit back and watch, so he came to help his friend. Ji Sanniang was the sworn sister of the head catcher. She also had an older brother who went to explore the way.
"We gave the money away, but they falsely accused it of being the bribe that Brother Ke had accepted earlier. If we don't comply, we will be locked up too." Xue Yi showed an annoyed look, "I was wrong.
Even though we know how dirty the yamen is, we still take chances."
Yan Ling nodded: "You are indeed wrong. The fact that Capt. Ke was framed shows that there is a chain of interests. If a mere county official dares to kill people in the capital, he must have connected the whole chain. Money can solve many problems.
But when it comes to officialdom rules, it is the most useless."
As long as the interest chain exists, it will continue to generate benefits, and all links in the chain can benefit. Ten thousand taels is certainly a lot, but in order to maintain this interest chain, this little money is nothing.
Giving up chickens for eggs.
Hearing what he said, Xue Yi and Ji Sanniang couldn't help but admire him.
As expected, he was a young man from a noble family. It took them a long time to understand these principles, but he understood the key without even thinking about it.
"Then what do you want to do now? Sneak into Daguangming Temple, do you want to sue the emperor, or do you want to take risks?"
Ji Sanniang felt guilty: "We haven't decided yet, we want to take a look at the situation..."
Yan Ling and Xu Yin looked at each other and sighed together.
This sigh made both of them panic. Xue Yi hurriedly asked: "Sir, what's wrong? Did we do something wrong again?"
Xu Yin said: "Looking at you like this, I don't believe that you can report it to me, right?"
Xue Yi and Ji Sanniang averted their eyes. Of course they didn't believe in the emperor's reputation...
Xu Yin then asked: "Most of the people coming to Daguangming Temple this time will be concubines and their family members, and then there will be those young masters. You have no hope of filing a lawsuit. Could it be that you want to take some noble person hostage in exchange for hostages?"
As soon as these words came out, Xue Yi and Ji Sanniang both lowered their heads in shame. Although they didn't know why they were ashamed, looking at their reactions, they felt that they must have done something stupid...
Xu Yin was speechless. At this time, General Xue had really not grown up yet. Look at what he did, he was just a gangster!
Yan Ling said: "No matter who you are holding hostage, the Holy Master is here today. Once he makes a move, it will be treason. For the sake of the royal family, I will never let you get what you want. Therefore, it is useless for you to hold hostage unless
It's His Majesty himself. But can you catch him?"
Xue Yi and Ji Sanniang's faces turned red and they did not dare to raise their heads.
So, they did do something stupid...
Now that we have encountered it, we cannot ignore this matter. Yan Ling sighed and said, "You go back first, I will figure out a solution for this matter."
Xue Yi raised his head: "Master..."
Yan Ling curled her lips and said, "I paid for the ten thousand taels. They took my money and didn't do any work. They thought so well!"
Xu Yin agreed: "That's right! How can there be such a cheap thing? It's not finished until they spit it out!"
"How can just spitting it out be enough? It's better to die as an apology!"
"Let them also taste what it feels like to be falsely accused and imprisoned, and to have the heavens and the earth unable to function."
The two of them exchanged words with each other, which made Xue Yi and Ji Sanniang break out in cold sweat. Is this the young lady from a high-ranking family? Opening your mouth can cost a few lives...
