After the family fell, I wanted to lie down

Chapter 100 The secret

At this time, at the gate of Yiyuan, Beijing soldiers had already started arresting people.

Liao Chengyi's face turned pale. He pushed Liang Jingtian away with all his might, pointed at the neatly dressed young man sitting on the ground in front of him, and the group of scholars with dishevelled hair and sad faces beside him, and said sharply, "I don't care who you are or what your positions are. Anyone involved in this matter will have to wait until the last one escapes."

The onlookers and some parents all looked pale, looking at those people who were sitting on the ground without making any noise and only concentrating on reading. Besides being a little frightened, they were also a little confused. Now that waves of readers had come, it must be that the officials in Beijing had done something wrong.

Someone jumped out waving a banner, the same one from last night.

"Students are afraid of the rich and powerful, and their morals are false. Officials do not care about the people and are thieves in disguise." The young man shouted loudly, "Catch me, there are thousands and thousands of others in our Mo City."

The onlookers heard the same words they had heard before: Everyone regards Mo Cheng as a suspect... The people of Mo Cheng were uneasy, the young people looked sad, and the onlookers looked ugly. They were not scared by the words, but by the person who spoke.

"Young Master Junhe." It turned out to be the Chen family.

Although Chen Junhe is not as outstanding as Fu Zijing of the Fu family, as a member of the Chen family, he is also well-known in Mo City like the Fu family.

The man saw Chen Junhe, and so did everyone else.

"Young Master Chen is here too."

"Hasn't the Chen family always stayed away? Why are they here to join in the fun? Their front door is still tightly closed."

"Here it comes, here it comes, could it be that the Chen family also wants to..."

There were discussions all around, and the man looked around with doubt in his eyes. Could this really be what Old Master Chen meant? He pondered for a moment and called over the servant who followed him, and gave him an order. After listening, the servant turned around and rode away on horseback.

When the servant came in, Old Master Chen was discussing with the other elders of the Chen family in the courtyard about the troubles that the Fu family and others had brought to his family. When he saw someone leading the servant in, someone with sharp eyes asked, "Is there any new news? Whose youngster is rushing to die this time?"

The servant opened his mouth several times but no sound came out. This scene confused all the gentlemen present. You actually came in and spoke.

"Yes, Master Junhe, Master Junhe is missing."

An old man frowned and asked, "Did he sneak out to look for food again?"

The servant shook his head in panic, "No, I didn't go."

Hey, the voice answering was not his own. The servant was stunned for a moment, then he saw that it was a man who looked like a butler next to him who answered.

The old man didn't care who answered, he just said, "It's either in the kitchen or the garden. Anyway, look for it and you'll find it."

The servant said anxiously, "Master, have you looked everywhere? No one is there."

"Where can we go?" asked an old man.

The servant said tremblingly, "In Yiyuan."

“Yiyuan, why is he in Yiyuan? If he dares, I will break his legs.”

The steward and the servant were about to cry, "Sir, Master Jun and Master are really gone. He is still hanging banners in Yi Garden. I came here to report the news because I was suspicious."

What! All the masters present stood up in horror, and Master Chen almost broke the teapot in his hand.

"You are a traitor, you are a traitor!"

"Go get someone to tie it back for me, quickly!"

"Why are you yelling? It's too late to arrest someone now. Yiyuan already knew about it."

But obviously he guessed wrong. Chen Junhe was not caught. In fact, he did not rush forward at all. Just when the servant turned around and rode away, Chen Junhe was about to rush forward but was stopped by someone.

"Don't go, you have more important things to do." This was the voice of a young master.

Chen Junhe was about to shake him off, but the man's hands were held tightly and he couldn't shake them off. This must be a man with kung fu skills. "Who could it be?" Chen Junhe turned his head to look. The man in front of him was wrapped in a cloak and cape with half of his face covered. He also had a big beard and looked embarrassed and miserable. The troublemakers here were all teenagers, but this man looked more like a beggar.

"It's me, Liu Ziheng!" said the beggar.

Chen Junhe stared at her and said, "You are dressed like this..." Then he suddenly realized and said with a bit of contempt, "You are really useless. Are you worried about being implicated by dressing like this?"

Liu Ziheng smiled with a smile in his eyes, "Of course not. I have more important things to do now. Not only me, but also others. We are divided into three groups in total. Hi, maybe it's too early to say it. Let me ask you a question first."

What is all this? What a mess! Chen Junhe frowned, and the banner in his hand was snatched away by Liu Ziheng and thrown to the ground.

"Master Liu, you can't do this. Go back quickly. I have something to say." He pulled Chen Junhe. After all, he was from a family of military generals. Chen Junhe was pulled away before he could stand up. The two walked out.

Liu Ziheng dragged Chen Junhe to a carriage. Chen Junhe could no longer hold back and shouted, "What on earth are you going to do?"

Liu Ziheng nodded to him with relief without any anger in his eyes, "Junhe brother, I'll call you brother, because I didn't expect you to come to help me on your own initiative. I really admire you. Although you arrived a little later today, I still call you brother."

What is going on? Are they brothers or not? What do you want to say? Chen Junhe pouted and was about to leave. Li Ziheng grabbed him again and said in a serious tone, "Junhe, are you willing to join Xiaolin Hall? To be more specific, are you willing to join Yingge's Xiaolin Hall?"

What about joining or not? "If you join Xiaolin Hall, we will be brothers and sisters from now on. Of course, although there are no girls in Xiaolin Hall yet, both men and women can join in the future."

Chen Junhe couldn't hold it in any longer and grasped the key point himself and asked, "Yingge's?"

Liu Ziheng nodded, his eyes solemn, "This is what I said, Brother Yingzi belongs to everyone, just like the Gudi Club, although she is the leader, it also belongs to everyone, and I don't care about it now or in the future."

"Okay, I get it. I'm willing. Now get down to business."

Liu Ziheng was quite unhappy about being interrupted. This was the first time a new member joined the group, so he was too casual. However, he also knew that things were urgent, so he grabbed Chen Junhe's hand and said, "Come on, let's talk in the car."

Last time he got in the car, he was arguing about something and talking nonsense. Chen Junhe shook off his hand, lifted the curtain of the car, and got in with a clever kick.

The carriage moved forward slowly for a distance, the curtains were lowered, and it was dark inside the carriage. The only thing one could see was the other person's bright eyes.

Liu Ziheng said, "Brother Qinghe is the first step, and Brother Yingzi is their second step. If they are caught, the third step is for the students to spread the news about Yingge to the city. The last and most crucial step is up to you."

"According to you, everything that happened was planned by you, but why?"

Why? Of course it is for fairness and justice. At present, the simple reason is to save Zhu Nian and stop the atrocities of the officials in the capital.

Chen Junhe was a little unconvinced, and said with a strange feeling in his heart, "For Zhu Nian?"

"Yes, you know Zhu Nian, right? He is a student of your academy, and he has been arrested for a long time because he was regarded as an assassin."

Chen Junhe looked at him inwardly and said, "I not only know him, I also know that I saw it with my own eyes that night. He was almost caught after taking it... Yingge... for Zhu Niang? Suddenly, something exploded in his mind, as if his memory had returned to that night.

Even when Liu Ziheng called him, he seemed not to hear him.

After that day, he was locked up at home, and he only paid attention to Yingge. Chunqiao was also sent to the study room again. He didn't pay attention to the outside world. How could it be settled so quickly when he encountered such a dangerous thing? The words of the servant these days reminded him of the matter of Zhu Nian. Now he heard Liu Ziheng mention it again, and then he remembered that he only knew that Yingge went back again, and she was injured when she came back. She said that she saved Zhu Nian, so how did she get injured? Didn't she go to save Zhu Nian at that time? Then how did she get injured? Thinking of this, Chen Junhe was shocked. He had a bold idea, but he didn't know if it was right.

You know, Lu Gongqing died after the meeting that night. Although someone had turned himself in at that time, it was said that the murderer was someone else?

Chen Junhe felt that his whole body was cold, his throat was dry and trembling, and he swallowed a few times. Could it be that things were really as he thought? No way, no way...

Just as the thought came to his mind, an arm suddenly rested on his shoulder, just like when Lu Gongqing bit off the woman's neck that day...

That feeling came again, Chen Junhe jumped up with a scream, Liu Ziheng was also startled, the coachman outside immediately reined in the horses, but the carriage was in chaos.

"What are you doing? Why are you yelling?" Liu Ziheng said angrily, "I've been talking to you for a long time. Did you hear me? Can you be more stable and mature?"

Chen Junhe asked, "What did you just say?"

"Humph, if I hadn't called you brother before, I wouldn't have bothered with you. Originally, our plan was that I would go to your grandfather to talk about the matter, and then you would come out to testify. Now that you've come out on your own, the effect might be better if you go in person. That person really has everything planned out. Now that you've shown up, it's your turn."

Chen Junhe asked, "What do you want me to do?"

Liu Ziheng said, "Brother Yingzi asked you to tell your grandfather the secret between you two." He said the last sentence in Yingge's tone.

Chen Junhe was stunned and murmured, "That secret!"

That secret, that secret that was like a dream, must have been a dream. Chen Junhe didn’t want to think about it. He had almost forgotten it. It was Liu Ziheng who brought him back to reality.

Seeing him speechless, Liu Ziheng hesitated and said, "No way, no way, you didn't forget or you don't know what she meant?" He looked anxious, "She just said this, you can't let her down at the critical moment."

Chen Junhe ignored his mumbling and only asked, "What else did he say? Is there nothing else?"

It can't be just one sentence, doesn't it need to be explained in detail? He is still a child.

Liu Ziheng cried out, "Luckily you still remember. Of course, it's not just this one sentence. She also said to tell your grandfather the secret between you two and not to think about suing the authorities or anything like that."

Isn't it to report to the authorities? Isn't it to announce that Lü Gongqing is a monster? If you let everyone kill Lü Gongqing in order to get rid of harm to the people, then won't you avoid the label of murderer?

Liu Ziheng said, "She said that secret is the biggest confidence between you two."

Chen Junhe said, "So, if you have the confidence, why don't you sue the authorities?"
