Chapter 363: The Reason Why Chen Tingsi Broke His Arm
Xiao Kui curled her lips and said, "It's just a broken sword. What's the point of studying it?"
Although he was full of disdain, he couldn't wait to go to the martial arts arena to show off.
Because he was too young, and unless there were special circumstances, the adults did not allow him to wear a sword.
He envied the adults who wore swords.
He, Lord Xiaokui, will also be the owner of a sword from now on!
After Chen Tingsi and Xie Yingmian left, he couldn't wait to change his clothes, pick up his sword, and run to the martial arts field.
Chen Tingsi and Xie Yingmian left the Six Punishments Department.
"Do you know anything else about Xiaokui's parents?" Xie Yingmian asked after they were far away.
"Do you have time?" Shen Tingsi did not give a direct answer.
"good."
"I'll take you somewhere." Shen Tingsi said, getting on a carriage.
Xie Yingmian's carriage followed behind.
The carriage went further and further away.
The road is becoming increasingly difficult to walk on.
There were some pedestrians at the beginning.
The further we go, the fewer people there are, and the quieter and more eerie the surroundings become.
Shen Tingsi's carriage had no intention of stopping.
Zang Yue lifted the curtain and looked around, then turned to Xie Yingmian and said, "Princess, this road should lead to the Western Suburbs Cemetery."
As expected.
Shen Tingsi stopped at the entrance of the cemetery.
It was already afternoon.
The Western Suburbs Cemetery is filled with a gloomy atmosphere, with occasional crows flying by. It is dull, dark, quiet and depressing.
Shen Tingsi jumped out of the carriage: "We're here."
Xie Yingmian looked around: "Are Xiaokui's parents buried here?"
Shen Tingsi did not answer the question and walked straight in one direction.
Xie Yingmian followed him for a long distance.
Finally we arrived at a grave.
The grave was not very big and the tombstone on it was also very small.
Only by looking carefully can you see the five words written on the tombstone - Tomb of Lu Jiuyuan.
Xie Yingmian was not unfamiliar with the name Lu Jiuyuan.
Yu Lingye mentioned more than once that Lu Jiuyuan was Lu Nanxing's son and a close friend of Yu Lingye and Shen Tingsi.
He died tragically in that wrongful imprisonment four years ago.
Xie Yingmian didn't know why Chen Tingsi brought her to Lu Jiuyuan's grave.
She didn't think Xiaokui was Lu Jiuyuan's son.
——Although the timing barely matches.
Shen Tingsi took a food box from the carriage.
There were some snacks and wine in the food box.
He placed snacks and wine in front of the tombstone, lit three incense sticks, and burned some paper money.
After all the paper was burned, Shen Tingsi spoke softly, "I saw Xiao Kui in this cemetery. He was as small as a little monkey, dark and thin, and was dying of hunger."
Xie Yingmian: "Are Bu Yunfan and Lu Jiuyuan the same person?"
Shen Tingsi shook his head: "No."
Xie Yingmian didn't understand.
Lu Jiuyuan is not Bu Yunfan, so why did Shen Tingsi bring her here?
That's what she thought and asked.
Shen Tingsi said: "This grave is not Lu Jiuyuan's grave."
"It is Bu Yunfan's tomb."
Xie Yingmian became more and more confused.
Shen Tingsi didn't seem to be in a hurry to explain.
He picked up the wine in the glass and spilled it on the ground.
"It's still early, how about listening to a story from me?"
What can Xie Yingmian do?
Now that I'm here, I can only listen.
She found two small stools in the carriage.
One for Zang Yue and one for himself.
Shen Tingsi said: "Four years ago, the Seventh Prince died of poisoning."
"That day, the Seventh Prince didn't eat much, so the food was tested for poison by a young eunuch. After much investigation, they discovered that the Seventh Prince's teacher had given him some snacks."
Xie Yingmian heard about it from Yu Lingye.
She said, "That teacher was Lu Nanxing. The Lu family was convicted and their entire family was executed."
Chen Tingsi smiled and said, "It seems that Aye has already told you. Then I will tell you something that Aye doesn't know."
"After the Lu family was convicted, no one confessed."
"The Lu family, headed by Lu Nanxing, would rather die than surrender."
"When the Lu family was beheaded, the onlookers cried bitterly. The Lu family cried out that it was unfair, and the people also cried out that it was unfair."
"Everyone is waiting for a miracle, waiting for the emperor's decree, waiting for the words to spare his life."
"Unfortunately, no miracle happened."
"Until three quarters after noon, when the execution time came, no miracle happened."
"Just as the executioner raised the guillotine to execute the victim, a strange phenomenon occurred in the sky."
"The weather was originally very clear, but in an instant it was covered with dark clouds and strong winds."
"A fierce wind swept across the entire execution platform. Dark clouds hung low, and the sky and the earth were pitch black. The execution ground seemed to be plunged into darkness."
"The darkness lasted for about ten breaths."
"These ten breaths of time bought us an opportunity and made our plan go smoothly."
Shen Tingsi looked at Xie Yingmian: "We have prepared a plan to replace the original with the new one."
Xie Yingmian probably understood.
Chen Tingsi was going to rob the execution ground.
She asked, "Did you replace Lu Jiuyuan?"
Shen Tingsi nodded. "There's a family that once received favors from the Lu family. The son of that family looks about 50% similar to Lu Jiuyuan, especially in terms of body shape and build. If he puts on prison clothes, messes up his hair, and smudges his face, he's almost indistinguishable."
"That family wanted to repay the Lu family and leave a descendant for them, so they came to me."
"They want me to find a way to have his son replace Lu Jiuyuan and save Lu Jiuyuan's life."
"The Emperor knows about my relationship with Lu Jiuyuan. I cannot interfere with the Lu family's case, and I cannot get close to where the Lu family is being held. It is impossible to change people in prison."
"The only chance is to create chaos at the execution ground and replace the person in the confusion."
"The risk was huge, extremely high. My success rate was only 10%. If I couldn't save him..."
Shen Tingsi didn't say anything further.
Even without him saying it, Xie Yingmian knew the consequences.
If Shen Tingsi fails, Lu Jiuyuan will die, and Shen Tingsi will be exposed and will most likely die as well.
The family that wants to die for Lu Jiuyuan will die even more.
Shen Tingsi continued: “When the executioner carries out the execution, that is when our plan begins.”
"The original plan was for my men to disguise themselves as civilians and rush to the execution ground to disrupt order, so we could take advantage of the chaos to replace them."
"Our plan hadn't even begun when suddenly the sky and the earth changed color, day turned to night, the wind howled, and sand filled the sky. The darkness and the wind and sand obstructed everyone's vision. This was a perfect opportunity for us to descend from the sky."
"We seized the opportunity and took the opportunity to switch people over. We quickly put normal clothes on Lu Jiuyuan, blended in with the crowd, and successfully rescued Lu Jiuyuan."
Speaking of this.
Shen Tingsi laughed: "Of course, it's not that smooth."
"My arms will remain on the execution ground forever."
Xie Yingmian was shocked.
She once asked Yu Lingye why Chen Tingsi had lost his arm.
Yu Lingye said that the closer the friendship, the more sense of boundaries should be maintained. Since Chen Tingsi didn't say anything, he didn't ask.
You really can't ask.
If what Shen Tingsi did were to be spread out, he would be beheaded.
Xie Yingmian said, "I've checked the cuts on your arms. They were neatly severed by a sharp blade. Your skills are quite impressive. You're able to leave me completely defenseless..."
"Is it Bu Yunfan?"
