Chapter 399 Escape?
Mingjiange handled things neatly. Not long after Dali Zheng gave the order, the carriage outside had arrived.
Liu Xingyuan and Wang Dahai stood beside Lan Hongjun, one on the left and one on the right, with half-smiling expressions on their faces: "Mr. Lan, let's go?"
" You..."
Lan Hongjun gritted his teeth and wanted to say something, but Gu Jinchen had already reached out to hold the back of his wheelchair and said softly: "Sir... let's go."
"..."
Lan Hongjun's face struggled for a moment, and he reluctantly agreed.
The Lan family is indeed very powerful, and there are many high-ranking officials in the court, but no matter how high-ranking the officials are, they would not dare to brush against the edge of Mingjian Pavilion.
No matter how big your official position is, can you be bigger than Ning Baimei?
No matter how awesome the family is, if you make a mistake, Mingjiange will treat you the same way.
This is why Lan Hongjun is so well-behaved in the court today... If it were in another yamen, it would matter whether the person sitting in the courtroom was the prefect or the county magistrate. He would bow to me first before speaking.
So, he could only be "escorted" by the two secret envoys of Mingjiang Pavilion and pushed by Gu Jinchen, and slowly left the court.
Fu Qingzhou blinked.
Before, when they went out to summon other witnesses, they did not need anyone to accompany them, but this time when they went to the Lan Family Villa, they needed Lan Hongjun to be there in person... This is the way of human nature.
Like the clerk in charge of the books at Zhangjian Academy, Zhangjian Academy and Mingjiange are both members of the same family. There is no need to look forward and backward when you go in and pick someone out.
But the Lan family is a big family. Even if Lan Hongjun does commit a crime, it has nothing to do with the other Lan family children. Mingjiange wants to come to check for evidence. It can't just rush in with the jade token to search. It has to contact the main family. After saying hello, I had to bring the person involved...
While he was thinking, Dali in the hall suddenly stretched his waist.
"Brother Lin Xian..."
He picked up the file in his hand and called to the official of the Metropolitan Procuratorate: "Brother, there are a few words that I can't see clearly. Come and help me read them." "Look?"
"I'd like to help you." The official from the Metropolitan Procuratorate cupped his hands, stepped forward to take a look, and said with a smile: "Oh, the candlelight is too dark, and I can't see clearly. Let's go to the hall." Let’s take a look later?”
Dali responded, waved his hand and said: "These words are very important. Huang Zhubo, oh, and a few friends from the Ministry of Punishment, can you come over and help us take a look?"
After that, he and The official from the Metropolitan Procuratorate strode into the back of the hall, shoulder to shoulder.
After the others in the hall looked at each other for a while, they also followed him forward and backward.
Soon, only Fu Qingzhou and Yue Heng were left in the courtroom.
Fu Qingzhou: "?"
Yue Heng: "?"
But soon, Fu Qingzhou reacted - good guy, are you making room for yourself and brother-in-law to chat?
Rights are so scary...
"Brother Fu!"
Yue Heng may not know that a big shot has been involved in this case, but he sees no one around , he finally couldn't bear it any longer, looked at Fu Qingzhou, and said hoarsely: "The young man is useless, and I ask you to help..."
In the middle of his words, he suddenly groaned and fell to the ground.
It turned out that he had been kneeling for too long and could not hold himself up. He was so excited that he wanted to get closer to Fu Qingzhou, so he fell down.
Fu Qingzhou quickly helped him up.
"Brother-in-law."
He smiled slightly and said: "Don't say that, we actually have the same spirit and are brothers, so I will be willing to go through fire and water for you."
< br>
"Brother Fu..." Yue Heng held Fu Qingzhou's arms tightly with both hands. He was excited and moved, and in an instant there were tears in his eyes.
Fu Qingzhou smiled and said: "Brother-in-law, don't worry, I will definitely rescue you this time and keep you safe... I will still need your help after that."
Hearing this, Yue Heng's eyes lit up: "Brother Fu, what do you want to invite me for? Just say it! I will do my best to help you!"
"No hurry, no hurry." Fu Qingzhou patted him on the shoulder: "I'll help you with the current situation first. The trouble is solved... Come on, let's sit down while there's no one around, don't break your legs."
...
Mingjiange's carriage galloped on the street at an extremely fast speed.
It was already night at this time. Except for Baishi Street, Yifangqiao and other streets where night markets were allowed to open, most places had entered a curfew for vehicles and horses, and vehicles were not allowed on the road... But the car in Mingjiange was, of course, a exception. In the spacious carriage, Gu Jinchen held Lan Hongjun's wheelchair and helped him stabilize it. Beside him, Liu Xingyuan and Wang Dahai held long knives and sat there calmly, their eyes always fixed on Lan Hongjun.
"Two adults..."
Finally, Lan Hongjun felt uncomfortable being stared at and couldn't help but said: "I am just a useless person now. If you’re not a sinner, you don’t need to keep an eye on him so closely..."
"Haha."
Wang Dahai grinned: "Sorry, I'm used to it."
He said he was sorry, but he didn't look away at all.
Liu Xingyuan also smiled: "It's okay, Mr. Lan. If you don't do anything bad, don't be afraid of ghosts calling you. We ghosts in official uniforms won't bite people randomly."
Lan Hong Jun pursed his lips, lowered his head, and did not dare to speak anymore.
In such a strange atmosphere, the carriage arrived at the Lan Family Villa.
The so-called villa usually refers to the garden specially used for emperors and generals to go hunting... The reason why aristocratic families can become aristocratic families is because their ancestors have produced great figures with extremely high status, who were granted titles and land. The same is true for the Lan family.
The Lan family's fiefdom is not in the middle of Beijing, but beside Lanting Lake in Xishan. But with the power of their family, how could they not have property in Beijing?
Just like this villa...there are still many children of the Lan family living there.
These people are not even officials of the Lan family in Beijing, but mostly young ladies of the younger generation. Some of them, like Lan Hongjun and Lan Shaozhong, came to Beijing to study and take exams; Or just come here to play.
Mingjiange's work efficiency was extremely high. When the carriage arrived in front of the Lan Family Villa, the pavilion had already sent people to finish the work. Therefore, after the carriage stopped, a housekeeper came directly from the Villa without any unnecessary questions. The two secret envoys Liu and Wang entered the garden.
As for Lan Hongjun?
Of course he has to follow...
"Here is Master Hongjun's courtyard." The housekeeper pointed to the courtyard in front and said in a very polite tone: "Excuse me, sir, while you search. , try to be as light as possible... We still have many gentlemen and ladies resting here."
"Don't worry."
Liu Xingyuan smiled and said: "Let's be quiet."
"Two adults..." At this time, Lan Hongjun suddenly said weakly: "I am injured, and I have to deal with it again in the court today. "I'm feeling a little unwell. Can you let me take some medicinal soup?"
The two emissaries, Liu and Wang, turned to look at him.
He coughed loudly a few more times at the right time, his body slumped crookedly in the wheelchair, his face was as pale as if he was about to die.
“Okay, go.”
Wang Dahai waved his hand: "Don't leave the small courtyard."
Lan Hongjun responded with a slight expression on his face, and Gu Jinchen immediately pushed him and went into the side hall on one side of the small courtyard.
“Are you staring?” Liu Xingyuan asked softly.
Wang Dahai smiled: "What are you looking at? If you want to run, stop him, if you want to cause trouble, kill him. This is the capital, how can he fly into the sky?"
"Okay. "Liu Xingyuan shrugged: "Then... look for boots."
On the other side, Gu Jinchen pushed Lan Hongjun into the side hall, entered through the side door of the side hall, turned left and right, and came to a study.
The small courtyard is not small either.
The moment the door closed, Lan Hongjun's expression immediately became distorted.
"What to do! What to do!"
He gritted his teeth and said: "Achen! It's all your damn fault! What kind of dagger did you want me to bring that day... Damn it, what if I bring it this time? If you fall, you won’t survive!”
Gu Jinchen's face was also very ugly: "I'm sorry, Master... I also secretly watched Yue Heng practice magic, and I was worried about you, so..."
"Okay, that's it!"
Lan Hongjun snorted: "Where is the dagger?"
"I have already found someone to melt with you, and I can't even find the scum." Gu Jinchen whispered: "But the boots, it is really too late to collect them. ..."
"Never mind."
Lan Hongjun lowered his voice: "Achen, get the Qiyuan Pill! I want to find my aunt!"
