Yusui Chang'an

Chapter 1251 Another secret
The woman's clothes were dirty, her hair was disheveled, her face was soaked with sweat and her lips were bloodless from fear and fatigue. She collapsed in the pit, gasping for breath.

Several men near the pit opened the wooden cabinet and dumped the contents into the deep pit. When the woman heard the noise, she looked up and saw a pair of eyes that were still open. She was so frightened that she couldn't breathe and fainted.

Seeing this, several men looked at each other:
"With such courage, you still dare to do evil?"

"It's getting late. The master still has some use for her. Pull her out and bury the body."

Yan Yuxuan.

Lin Jinyan listened indifferently as Hong Jiu reported various news. After drinking the refreshing sweet soup in her hand, she asked Yutong to serve another bowl.

Bai Zhi: "Miss, although the weather is hot, you should not be greedy for coolness. One bowl is enough."

Bai Zhi obeyed her in everything, but was terribly stubborn about this. Lin Jinyan knew that she couldn't persuade her, so she behaved well and didn't struggle, waving her hand for Yutong to collect the bowl.

Although Yutong had seen this many times, she was still not completely used to it. She looked between the two of them and muttered to herself:
I don’t know who is the master.

After everything was tidied up, Bai Zhi tucked in the quilt for Lin Jinyan, lowered the curtains, quietly extinguished the candle, and curled up on the couch and fell into a deep sleep.

After a good night's sleep, Lin Jinyan and Bai Zhi and Hong Jiu were about to get on the carriage when Wei Zhong hurried over, waved his hand to signal the guards to stay away, and took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and handed it to Lin Jinyan:
"Miss, there is an urgent message from Zhangzhou. He Lan was captured by the King of Jin's men."

Lin Jinyan's face changed in shock, and she quickly took the secret letter and read it carefully:

Among the people sent by the Prince of Jin to Zhangzhou to take over the fiefdom, two had been in Tai'an City many years ago and were sent by the Prince of Jin to look for the three siblings of the He family.

A few days ago in Zhangzhou, the two men happened to meet the three siblings of the He family who were paying respect to their deceased father. They immediately felt that the twins He Quan and He Mu looked familiar, so they followed them suspiciously. After asking around, they learned that the He siblings had arrived in Zhangzhou a few years ago, and they became even more suspicious that they were the people that King Jin had found a few years ago and abducted He Lan when she was alone.

Wei Zhong: "Our people heard that someone was asking about the He siblings, so they went to warn them, but unfortunately they were a step too late and the person had already been captured.

He Quan and He Mu were already hiding. The two brothers probably thought that after so many years and being far away from Kyoto, they wanted to go together to pay respects to their father on his death anniversary. They were filled with regret when their eldest sister was captured. "

Lin Jinyan: "What's the use of regret? He Lan is fine, but He Quan and the other one look too similar to be noticed. I have already ordered them not to appear in front of others at the same time. How could they be so careless?"

Although she was annoyed, Lin Jinyan calmed down immediately after complaining and thought of a solution:

"Keep an eye on the people of Jin Wang in Zhangzhou and see if you can rescue He Lan without exposing yourself. Jin Wang should have received the secret letter by now. Although He Lan is loyal to me, he cannot stand up to Jin Wang's viciousness and cunningness.

If we reveal our true identity somewhere, it will be a big trouble... It takes several days for Zhangzhou to reach Kyoto by express horse, so it will be useless to worry now. You don't have to follow me out of the city, just keep an eye on the situation in the city."

Sitting in the carriage, Lin Jinyan frowned and thought carefully, sorting out where there would be mistakes after He Lan was arrested:

We have to muddy the waters, not only with the Duke's Mansion, but also with the Han family stationed in Zhangzhou. We have to find a way to involve the Han family as well.

Jin Palace.

Lin Jinyan had just left the city gate when Chu Chengyao also received an urgent letter a step later. After seeing the portrait of He Lan attached to the letter, Chu Chengyao once again remembered the He siblings who had exposed him to the public.

"They fell into Qin Zongliang's hands, but the three siblings didn't die? Could there be another hidden story behind what happened back then?"
