Chapter 9(1)()
Bingzhou Grand Governor's Office, back hall.
Lu Yanran was tied up in the back hall of the Governor's Mansion for a whole night. Her limbs were numb and her mind was drowsy. The conversation with Lord Di last night seemed to be just a dream, so unreal. She couldn't even remember why she was here. In front of her, there was Feng Danqing's charming and vicious face, Lord Di's angry expression, and Han Rui, the simple and clean eyes of the Han Bin brothers, but the most common ones still appeared were Di Jinghui's face, which made her dream and could not forget at all times. He smiled at her with a high spirit and affectionate smile, making her heart become so weak. She wanted to snuggle into his arms immediately, and she fell asleep and never woke up again...
The door of the back hall opened, and Bingzhou Fa Cao walked in with a few yamen runners and approached her. Fa Cao said coldly: "Lu Yanran, you have a good night. How about it? Is there anything you want to say?"
Lu Yanran raised her head with difficulty and said in a daze: "Where is Lord Di? Where is Lord Di?"
Fa Cao said: "Mr. Di has gone home to rest early, and he will not come today." He bent down and held up Lu Yanran's face, and smiled and said: "What a beauty, no wonder even Master Di has a compassion for the sake of the fragrance and jade. He ordered that the confession you confessed to kill Fan Qixin was so wrong that it was hard to believe, so it was impossible to condemn you, and it was not convenient to continue to detain you. I will let you go today."
"Let me go?" Lu Yanran asked in surprise.
"Yes, Lord Di said, let you go, you can go home now." After Fa Cao said that, he winked at the yamen runners beside him. A yamen runner walked up, untied the rope on Lu Yanran's body, and shouted: "Get up, go quickly!"
Lu Yanran stood up, staggered out of the door, walked to the door, looked back in confusion, and then looked back in confusion. The Dharmakaya snorted and said again: "Let's go!" Lu Yanran then slowly walked out of the Governor's Mansion. Under a towering ancient cypress in the courtyard, Chen Songtao stood under the shade of green, watching all this expressionlessly. Until Lu Yanran walked out of the mansion, he whispered to a yamen runner standing beside him: "Notify Fan Tai, you can act. Remember, let Lu Yanran go away first and then do it, don't be next to the Governor's Mansion." "Yes!" The man agreed and hurried away.
Bingzhou, Chengbei, Linhe Inn.
Li Yuanfang kept guarding Han Bin's head for a whole night. When dawn came, the candles on the table finally burned out. After the rain stopped, a cold white light gradually appeared on the window paper. With the help of this half-light and half-dark light, he bent down and carefully observed the child's face. Han Bin showed an innocent smile while sleeping. Although his face was still a little gray, he showed anger that he had just recovered from a serious illness. Li Yuanfang reached out to explore Han Bin's forehead. The fever had subsided. He breathed a long sigh and reached out to hold Han Bin in his arms.
As soon as he walked to the door, the child in his arms asked in a weak voice: "Where are we going?"
Li Yuanfang stopped and smiled and said, "You are awake." When he said this, he realized that his voice was completely hoarse.
Han Bin stared at Li Yuanfang and asked in a soft voice, "Well, where are you going to take me?"
Li Yuanfang said: "We can't live here anymore, let's change the place."
Han Bin flattened his mouth and asked, "Why? Isn't this place good?"
Li Yuanfang hugged Han Bin and sat down at the table, gently stroked his head: "I'm afraid this place is unsafe, just in case it's better to change the place. If it weren't for you being sick last night, you should have left."
Han Bin blinked and said softly: "Are you afraid that the old man who came yesterday will come to you again? Have you had a quarrel?"
Li Yuanfang smiled: "You are so smart and know everything. No, we didn't quarrel, and I'm not afraid that he will come to me, but I'm afraid that someone will follow him to find us. I can't keep guarding you like this, and there are other things to do...Okay, before dawn, we'll set off now. Go back to the Land Temple to hide for a day, and then I'll find a safer place."
Han Bin reluctantly hugged Li Yuanfang's neck, pouting and not speaking. Li Yuanfang ignored him, hugged him and gently opened the door, looked around, ran quickly through the corridor, took out the horse from the stable, and put Han Bin on the horse. Then, he returned to the still empty counter, left some silver on the table, and led the horse to return to the east land temple along the original road.
When he arrived at the Land Temple in Chengdong, Li Yuanfang settled Han Bin in the pile of grass stalks in the temple, and placed the pies and beef and mutton brought from the inn next to him, saying, "It's dawn, it's very safe here. You sleep well. If you're hungry, eat these. I'm going to do something, I'll definitely come back before dark."
Han Bin pulled his sleeve reluctantly: "Can you not leave? I'm scared alone."
Li Yuanfang gently stroked Han Bin's head and said, "No, I have to go and see what the old man needs me to do. Don't be afraid, I know you are very brave. Wait for me here, I will definitely come back before dark."
Li Yuanfang waved to Han Bin and left the Land Temple in the east of the city.
Li Yuanfang soon arrived outside Di Mansion. He rode around Di Mansion for a while, but did not go in. Back at the door of Di Mansion, he looked around and found that there was a teahouse on the street. There were already people coming and going early in the morning, so he led the horse over and asked the clerk to lead him to the window on the second floor and sat down.
The guy brought the hot tea, Li Yuanfang took a sip and looked out. This observation point was very good, and he could see the whole movements of the Di Mansion. Until now, he was not sure what the purpose of doing this was. But after last night, this was all he could remember to do now. It was here, just a little far away from Di Renjie, he waited quietly, without much expectation in his heart, but he felt very calm.
