"Your Majesty! Not good! An assassin has snuck into the dungeon. This lowly one went to take a look and found ….. found that Young Master Lin has been rescued. "Long Yin's personal eunuch shouted in a panic. There weren't many people who knew that Lin Xiao was locked up there, and he was one of them.
Before the sky was bright, Long Yin had just walked out of his chambers and was preparing to attend morning court. When he heard this, he flew into a rage and shouted, "Hei Xiong, come with us to the dungeon!"
Long Yin hated Ye Wuchen to the extreme, and he also hated Lin Xiao. If it wasn't for the fact that he had to take care of the Lin family's feelings, he would have torn him to pieces long ago. When he suddenly heard that Lin Xiao had been rescued, the anger that he had suppressed for too long because of Ye Wuchen suddenly flared up.
Long Yin's face was green and black as he hurried to the dungeon. Hei Xiong followed closely behind. Along the way, when the guards saw the Emperor's expression, they didn't even dare to breathe loudly. They bowed and opened the door as fast as they could. When they reached the lowest level of the dungeon, they found that the door was indeed opened. Lin Xiao was no longer inside. The guard who was originally guarding here was already lying there with a large pool of blood on the ground.
"Outrageous!!" Long Yin was so angry that his entire body trembled.
Hei Xiong looked around and then made a sound of surprise. He walked to the side of the guard who seemed to be dead and said in confusion, "Your Majesty, this person doesn't seem to be dead. He's still breathing."
One of Hei Xiong's hands secretly pressed on the person's chest. A fiery red light flashed in his palm and disappeared in a flash. His other hand started to slap the person's face, "Hey, little brother, wake up, hey hey ….."
Long Yin frowned and walked over. Just as he stood in front of the person, he found that the person who looked dead actually opened his eyes slightly and coughed with difficulty.
"He's not dead, he really isn't dead." Hei Xiong's face was full of joy and he moved to carry him on his back, "Your Majesty, let's go get the imperial physicians to save him. He should still be able to live."
"Put him down," Long Yin shouted, his expression becoming increasingly gloomy.
"Oh!" Black Bear responded and put down his body.
Long Yin stood there and said in a deep voice, "We ask you, who rescued Lin Xiao?"
Even though that person had regained consciousness, he was already on the verge of death. He suddenly gasped for breath as if he had regained consciousness. With a weak voice, he said, "It's … Sir … Sir Lin …"
Long Yin's face was as black as charcoal. He had already thought of this possibility before coming here. Other than the Lin family, he couldn't think of anyone else who would be willing to take such a huge risk to save Lin Xiao. How could a person who had "died" in their hands and was lucky enough to be alive lie?
"What a good Lin family. We, have really underestimated you!" Long Yin gritted his teeth. Even though he had suspected the Lin family, he didn't want to believe that the loyal Lin family, who had always been under his control, would dare to do such a thing. Killing someone and breaking into a prison, no matter which dynasty it was, was a crime that would result in the execution of the entire family. Furthermore, the person who could sneak into this prison and escape with Lin Xiao must be extremely skilled. When did such a person appear in the Lin family … it seemed that the Lin family that he thought was completely under his control had been hiding something that he didn't know!!
This feeling of being betrayed made Long Yin clench his teeth tighter and tighter. The surging anger and the humiliation that Ye Wuchen had brought him overlapped and made him almost lose his mind.
"Your Majesty, he seems to have something to say," Hei Xiong reminded.
The person had been opening and closing his lips with difficulty. At this time, he finally said in a soft voice, "They … in the north …"
A strange light flashed in Hei Xiong's eyes. The hand that had been pressing on the person's body quietly withdrew. The person's breathing suddenly stopped and his eyes became unfocused. Then, his head tilted and he stopped breathing.
"Ai, he's still dead. Your Majesty, he seems to have said something … in the north? What does that mean? "Hei Xiong got up with a sad face and asked in confusion.
Without a word, Long Yin turned and walked out quickly. After returning to the palace, he ordered angrily, "Pass down the order, immediately send people to the north of the city to capture Lin Xiao. Remember, we want him alive. We want to see how the Lin family will react!!"
At this time, the Lin family, who didn't know what had happened, was gloomy and gloomy. Because according to the emperor's orders, today was the day that Lin Xiao would be executed in secret. Today's morning court session, Lin Kuang and Lin Zhan didn't go. Two days ago, they had already begged, but they also knew that Lin Xiao had committed such a big mistake. Although he had no choice, he had still done it … The emperor didn't vent his anger on the entire Lin family because of this, which was already a big favor. They didn't dare to have any more extravagant hopes.
When the sky was bright, the Lin family suddenly received a shocking piece of news. There was a quiet rumor in the palace that in the early hours of this morning, Lin Xiao, who had committed a shocking and shameful crime and had been secretly imprisoned, had been taken away from the dungeon. His whereabouts were unknown.
When Lin Zhan suddenly heard this news, he didn't even have time to get excited before he saw his father, Lin Kuang's expression become extremely unsightly. He probingly asked, "Father, did you send someone to rescue Xiao 'er?"
Lin Kuang's face was full of sorrow, "If even you think so, then the emperor, as well as everyone else, will think of our Lin family when they hear this news!"
Lin Zhan was stunned when he heard this. Then, his expression abruptly changed and he said in a startled voice, "Father, what do you mean?"
"Killing a person and rescuing a prisoner is already a great crime equivalent to rebellion. What's more, Xiao 'er committed such a big mistake. Even if I wanted to save Xiao 'er with all my might, I wouldn't dare to be so reckless. But in the eyes of outsiders, only our Lin family would be willing to take such a big risk to save Xiao 'er. Moreover, no matter which emperor it is, they can't help but be suspicious. To be able to rescue Xiao 'er from the dungeon guarding the forest can be said to be extremely difficult. That person's skills must have reached the pinnacle. His Majesty … will definitely suspect that our Lin family is hiding something and is plotting something! " Lin Kuang let out a long sigh and said in a sorrowful voice, "The person who saved Xiao 'er was someone else. His goal wasn't to protect our Lin family's bloodline, but to set up a series of traps. So when Xiao' er was framed that day, it was only the beginning. His goal wasn't Xiao 'er, but our entire Lin family!"
Lin Zhan broke out in a cold sweat when he heard this. His heart also began to beat rapidly. He asked in a panic, "This … Father, is the matter really as serious as you say it is? Could it be … "
"Right now, we must immediately take the initiative to find the emperor to prove our innocence. Since things have come to this, I won't hide it from you anymore. Actually, our Lin family belongs to the emperor … "
Lin Zhan, "…!!"
Lin Xiao galloped madly on his horse, not daring to stop for even a moment. By the time the sun rose, he was already far away from Celestial Dragon City. His heart was slightly at ease. He looked back and his heart was filled with sorrow. The affairs of the world were unpredictable. Under the teasing of fate, in just a few short days, he had been persecuted like a stray dog. His reputation was completely ruined. If he hadn't escaped, he would have even lost his life.
"I, Lin Xiao, have never offended anyone. Why must the heavens treat me like this!!" He raised his head and roared at the sky. The pressure in his heart wasn't released because of this roar. It was so heavy that he almost couldn't breathe.
His stomach was hungry. He hadn't eaten a single grain in the few days he was in the dungeon. He opened the package and found that it contained his most treasured white jade flute, a few sets of clothes that he often wore, a few bottles of healing medicine, a large stack of silver notes, and a letter. And among the dry rations, there were only three slightly hard white steamed buns.
He grabbed the white steamed buns and wolfed them down. This kind of coarse food that he normally wouldn't even look at was thousands of times more delicious than the seafood and mountain delicacies that he was used to eating. While riding on a horse, he ate without any elegance. This was the first time in his life.
It was also the last time.
As he galloped, the horse under Lin Xiao suddenly let out a long neigh. He also sensed something and raised his head. He found that there was already a large row of people blocking the road in front of him. At first glance, there were at least fifty or sixty people blocking the road that wasn't wide to begin with. Some of them were holding long knives, some were holding sticks, and some were holding iron spoons and branches. Lin Xiao immediately understood that he had run into robbers. On the remote roads that were relatively far from the city, there were often some bandits and bandits.
And although the group of bandits that Lin Xiao encountered was large in number, they clearly weren't … professional enough. First, they didn't know how to spread their people to other roads to obtain more rewards. Second, most bandits would lie in ambush on both sides of the road and suddenly rush out to block or surround the passerby when they approached. Based on their current situation, as long as Lin Xiao got on his horse and ran away, they wouldn't be able to do anything.
Lin Xiao had no way out, and he wasn't afraid of these bandits. He ran forward fearlessly. As he approached, the group of bandits immediately waved the tools in their hands and screamed. A big and burly man with a fierce face stepped forward and shouted a line that had been used by his peers for countless years. "This tree was planted by … me, this road was opened by … me. If you want to pass through, leave behind money to pay for the road! We are robbers. We want money more than our lives. If you know what's good for you, hand over all your valuables! "
Lin Xiao didn't want to cause any more trouble. He stopped his horse and casually took out two silver notes from his bag and sprinkled them. He smiled indifferently and said, "At home I rely on my parents, and when I go out I rely on my friends. Since my friends have needs, I will do my best. Please don't block my way."
With that said, he was about to gallop forward. However, the group of bandits who only cared about shouting didn't immediately move out of the way. Instead, they screamed as they looked at the burly man, as if waiting for him to speak.
The burly man picked up one of the silver notes on the ground and looked at it. His eyes immediately widened like copper bells. "Three … three thousand taels!" He hurriedly picked up the other note and shouted again, "Also three thousand taels … adding it up … it's … it's six thousand taels! We've got it, we've got it!! "
The small bandits immediately stopped screaming and pounced on the burly man like a tide. In the blink of an eye, they surrounded him in eight layers and made way for him. Lin Xiao flicked his horsewhip and galloped away. However, he suddenly heard a loud roar behind him. "All of you, get him! He's so generous! He's a big fish, we can't let him escape … If we snatch him, we won't have to worry about food and clothing in the future. We won't have to do this kind of shady business anymore.
