Chapter 399 Escape?
Mingjian Pavilion was efficient and effective. Not long after Dali Zheng's order was given, the carriage outside had arrived.

Liu Xingyuan and Wang Dahai stood on the left and right sides of Lan Hongjun, with a half-smile 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 struggled for a while, then he replied "yes" reluctantly.

The Lan family is indeed very powerful, and they have many high-ranking officials in the court. However, no matter how high-ranking the officials are, they dare not challenge the Mingjian Pavilion.

No matter how high your official position is, can you be higher than Ning Baimei?

No matter how powerful your family is, if you commit a crime, Mingjian Pavilion will still catch you.

This is why Lan Hongjun was so well-behaved in the court today... If this happened in a government office somewhere else, no matter whether the person sitting in the court was the prefect or the county magistrate, they would bow to this young master before speaking.

Therefore, he could only leave the court slowly under the "escort" of the two secret envoys from Mingjian Pavilion and pushed by Gu Jinchen.

Fu Qingzhou blinked.

When they went out to summon other witnesses before, they didn't need anyone to accompany them, but this time when they went to the Lan family villa, Lan Hongjun had to go in person... This was the way of the world.

Like the clerk in charge of the libraries in the Zhangjian Academy, the Zhangjian Academy and the Mingjian Pavilion are all one family, so when he goes in and takes someone out, he naturally doesn't need to look ahead or behind.

But the Lan family is a big family. Even if Lan Hongjun really did commit a crime, it has nothing to do with other Lan family members. If Mingjian Pavilion wants to come to the door to check for evidence, they can't just rush in with the jade token to search. They have to inform the main family first, and bring the person involved...

While he was thinking, Dali in the hall suddenly stretched.

"Brother Lin..."

He picked up the file in his hand and called to the official of the Censorate, "Brother, there are a few words that I can't read clearly. Can you help me take a look?"

"I'm willing to help." The official from the Censorate saluted, stepped forward to take a look, and said with a smile: "Alas, the candlelight is too dim, I can't see clearly, let's go to the back of the hall to take a look?"

Dali Zheng responded and waved his hand, saying, "These words are very important. Huang Zhubo, oh and some friends from the Ministry of Justice, come over and help take a look?"

After saying this, he and the official from the Censorate walked shoulder to shoulder into the back of the hall.

The people in the hall looked at each other for a while, then followed him.

Soon, Fu Qingzhou and Yue Heng were the only ones left in the court.

Fu Qingzhou: “?”

Yue Heng: “?”

But soon, Fu Qingzhou reacted - wow, is this to make space for himself and Brother Yue to chat?

Power is a scary thing...

"Brother Fu!"

Yue Heng may not know that a big shot has intervened in this case, but seeing that there is no one around, he finally lost his patience and looked at Fu Qingzhou, saying in a hoarse voice: "I am useless, so I ask you to help me again..."

He was halfway through his words when he suddenly let out a cry and fell to the ground.

It turned out that he had been kneeling for too long and could not hold on any longer. In his excitement, he wanted to get closer to Fu Qingzhou, and he fell down.

Fu Qingzhou quickly helped him up.

"Brother Yue."

He smiled and said, "Don't say that. Since we are of the same mind and can call each other brothers, I am willing to go through fire and water for you."

"Brother Fu..." Yue Heng held Fu Qingzhou's arms tightly with both hands, feeling excited and moved, tears welled up in his eyes in an instant.

Fu Qingzhou smiled and said, "Brother Yue, don't worry, I will definitely rescue you this time and keep you safe... Later, I will still need your help."

Upon hearing this, Yue Heng's eyes lit up: "Brother Fu, what do you want to ask for? Just tell me! I will do my best to help you!"

"No hurry, no hurry." Fu Qingzhou patted his shoulder and said, "Let me help you solve your current problem first... Come on, let's sit down first while no one is around, don't hurt your legs from kneeling."

……

The carriage of Mingjian Pavilion was running on the street at a very fast speed.

It was already night, and except for the streets that allowed night markets, such as Baishi Street and Yifang Bridge, most places were under curfew, and vehicles were not allowed on the road... But the car from Mingjian Pavilion was an exception. In the spacious carriage, Gu Jinchen supported Lan Hongjun's wheelchair and helped him to stabilize it, while Liu Xingyuan and Wang Dahai sat there calmly, holding long swords, their eyes fixed on Lan Hongjun.

"Two adults..."

Finally, Lan Hongjun felt uncomfortable from being stared at, and couldn't help but say, "I'm just a useless person now, not a sinner, so you don't have to stare at me so closely..."

"hehe."

Wang Dahai grinned: "Sorry, I'm used to it."

He said sorry, but his eyes never moved away.

Liu Xingyuan also smiled and said, "It's okay, Master Lan. If you don't do anything wrong, you don't have to worry about ghosts knocking on your door. Ghosts like us wearing official uniforms won't bite anyone randomly."

Lan Hongjun pursed his lips, lowered his head, and dared not speak any more.

The carriage arrived at the Lan family villa in such a strange atmosphere.

The so-called villa gardens usually refer to gardens specially used for hunting by emperors and generals...and the reason why a family can become a family is because their ancestors have produced great figures with extremely high status, who were granted titles and lands, and the Lan family is no exception.

The Lan family's fiefdom was not in the capital, but beside Lanting Lake in the Western Hills. But with their family's power, how could they not have any industry in the capital?
Just like this villa...there are still many descendants of the Lan family living there.

These people were not even officials of the Lan family serving in Beijing. Instead, most of them were young men and women. Some of them, like Lan Hongjun and Lan Shaozhong, came to Beijing to study and take exams; others simply came to have fun.

The Mingjian Pavilion was extremely efficient. When the carriage arrived at the Lan family villa, the pavilion had already sent someone to make arrangements. Therefore, after the carriage stopped, a steward came directly to the villa and led the two secret envoys, Liu and Wang, into the villa without asking any unnecessary questions.

As for Lan Hongjun?
Of course he had to follow...

"This is Master Hongjun's courtyard." The housekeeper pointed to the courtyard in front and said politely, "Please be as quiet as possible when searching... There are many young masters and young ladies resting here."

"rest assured."

Liu Xingyuan smiled and said, "Let's be quiet."

"My Lords..." At this time, Lan Hongjun suddenly spoke weakly, "I am injured, and I have been in court all day. I feel a little uncomfortable. Can you let me take some medicine?"

The two secret envoys Liu and Wang turned and looked at him.

He coughed violently a few times at the right time, and his body slumped crookedly in the wheelchair, his face so pale as if he was about to die.

"Okay, go."

Wang Dahai waved his hand: "Don't leave the courtyard."

Lan Hongjun's face lightened as he responded. Gu Jinchen immediately pushed him and went into the side hall at the side of the courtyard.

"Are you keeping an eye on it?" Liu Xingyuan asked softly.

Wang Dahai smiled and said, "What are you staring at? If he wants to run, stop him. If he wants to cause trouble, kill him. This is the capital. Can he fly away?"

"Okay." Liu Xingyuan shrugged: "Then... find some boots."

On the other side, Gu Jinchen pushed Lan Hongjun into the side hall, then entered from the side door of the side hall, and after turning left and right, they came to a study.

The courtyard is not small.

The moment the door closed, Lan Hongjun's expression immediately twisted.

"How to do how to do!"

He gritted his teeth and said, "Achen! It's all your fault! Why did you ask me to bring a dagger that day... Damn it, if I fail this time, you won't survive either!"

Gu Jinchen's face also looked unhappy: "Sir, I'm sorry... I also secretly saw Yue Heng practicing magic, and I was worried about you, so..."

"Okay, that's it!"

Lan Hongjun snorted, "Where's the dagger?"

"I have already found someone to melt it down. There is not even a scrap left." Gu Jinchen whispered, "But it is too late to collect the boots..."

"do not care."

Lan Hongjun lowered his voice: "Achen, bring the Qiyuan Pill here! I want to go find my aunt!"
