After marrying the vegetative prince, the doctor concubine killed people randomly

Chapter 604: Hidden Dragon

She was a little hungry, so she put all the food on the table into the space and heated it up in the microwave.

Then the two of them began to eat seriously.

Ji Yuntang was eating while chatting with Luo Junhe.

She asked: "Ahe, now that your leg is healed, what do you want to do first?"

She thought that the first thing Luo Junhe said was that he wanted to go out and see the world.

After all, he had stayed in the mansion for so many years and had hardly ever gone out.

Except for the last time when she participated in the Canglang Poetry Competition, Luo Junhe asked Chen Hu to take him out of the house.

Apart from that, he hasn't been anywhere and should have wanted to go out and relax a long time ago.

Unexpectedly, Luo Junhe said, "Besides accompanying you, what I want to do most is to save people."

"Save people? Save whom?" Ji Yuntang paused with the chopsticks in his hand and looked at him with puzzled eyes.

Luo Junhe looked at her, put down his chopsticks, and said, "Atang, do you still remember that I told you that I have two personal guards?"

Ji Yuntang thought about it carefully and found that Luo Junhe had really told her about it, but it was a long time ago and she could not remember the specific details.

“What happened to them?” she asked.

Luo Junhe then told her in detail: "Their names are An Qi and Long Yin. They have been serving me since they were seven years old."

"To me, they are not only my personal guards, but also my most trusted right-hand men and left-hand men. They are also the two envoys of the Dragon Leap Army. The relationship between me and them is like that of brothers."

"But three years ago, after I was seriously injured and fell into a coma, the two of them were also framed and got into trouble. Now they have been exiled to Liangzhoukou."

When Luo Junhe said this, his eyes suddenly darkened. There was a storm brewing in his eyes, full of danger.

When Ji Yuntang heard "Liangzhoukou", she was slightly stunned. She had seen this place on the topographic map of the Four Kingdoms.

It is located in the southernmost part of Dongchen State and, like the Ningguta she is familiar with, is a famous place of exile.

It is extremely cold and harsh there, the location is remote and sparsely populated, and the economic and medical conditions are very backward.

Emperor Jingyang exiled the criminals there, on the one hand to punish them, and on the other hand to let them reclaim wasteland, build bridges and roads, dig mountains and build canals, so as to develop the area of ​​Liangzhoukou.

But in fact, with a distance of 1,200 kilometers, many prisoners collapsed halfway before they reached Liangzhoukou.

As for that place, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a purgatory on earth, because although the imperial court can issue orders, it actually has no control over that place.

Even if Emperor Jingyang took charge, the officials at Liangzhoukou were just doing superficial work and perfunctorily satisfying the court.

Once a prisoner was exiled to that place, it could be said that there was basically no return.

Ji Yuntang felt a little heavy-hearted. She didn't say anything, but waited quietly for Luo Junhe's next words.

Luo Junhe adjusted himself for a moment before restraining his aura. He grabbed Ji Yuntang's hand.

"I'm sorry, Atang, I lost control."

Ji Yuntang shook her head. She could understand Luo Junhe's feelings. His most trusted confidant was framed and his life or death was uncertain. It was reasonable for him to be worried.

Ji Yuntang asked: "Why were the two of them exiled?"

In the Dongchen Kingdom, the punishment of exile is second only to the extermination of nine clans, and is one of the four most severe punishments.

If it wasn't for an extremely serious crime, given An Qi and Long Yin's martial arts skills and identities, they should not have been exiled.

Luo Junhe pursed his lips tightly. He calmed down and said, "This is a long story. I will just briefly explain it."

"The imperial court prohibits smuggling of salt, but it continues despite repeated prohibitions. Someone reported to the imperial court that a large amount of smuggled salt was found in my villa outside the capital."

"But I haven't been to that villa for more than ten years. There is no one there to clean and manage it. It's just locked from the outside."

"At that time, I had just been attacked by spies and had my legs and eyes injured. I had returned to the capital after a long journey from the battlefield and was preparing to recuperate in my mansion."

"But the people from the Ministry of Justice came to my door and said that I was selling smuggled salt and was guilty of smuggling. They wanted to arrest me and take me to the Ministry of Justice for investigation."

"Everyone knows that smuggling salt is a serious crime. Those who commit serious crimes will be executed along with their entire clan. However, I was unable to move at that time and was unable to personally investigate the matter to prove my innocence."

"In order to protect me and let me recover in the palace, An Qi and Long Yin took the initiative to suggest that I follow the government officials to the Ministry of Justice."

"I originally thought that they went there just to investigate this matter and would return after the investigation, but who would have thought that the people from the Ministry of Justice would threaten them with my life and demand that they come forward to testify that I was secretly smuggling and selling that batch of salt."

"An Qi and Long Yin knew that the king was in a bad situation and was unwilling to compromise, so the people from the Ministry of Justice directly restricted their freedom, locked them up in the dungeon, and directly convicted them."

"They announced to the public that the salt was stolen by An Qi and Long Yin out of greed, and they hid it in my villa without my knowledge. I was not aware of it, and it had nothing to do with me."

"When the emperor heard about this, he was furious. He confiscated the batch of illegal salt and ordered An Qi and Long Yin to be exiled to Liangzhoukou and escorted immediately."

"I didn't even get to see them for the last time before they were exiled."

Luo Junhe's voice was filled with strong self-blame and loss. He felt that if it weren't for him, An Qi and Long Yin would not have suffered this disaster.

They were obviously framed by someone, who simply and roughly convicted them just because contraband salt was found in his villa.

Apart from that, they could not produce any strong evidence to prove that this matter was related to An Qi and Long Yin.

By the time Luo Junhe recovered and wanted to help them, Emperor Jingyang had already taken away his military power. Later, when he went to attend a palace banquet, a fire disfigured and blinded him. From then on, he was paralyzed in bed.

He was unable to take care of himself and wanted to help the two people but was completely powerless.

This matter has always been a thorn in Luo Junhe's side, and every time he thinks about it, he feels extremely uncomfortable.

After hearing what Luo Junhe said, Ji Yuntang fell into deep thought.

According to what he said, if the people from the Ministry of Justice convicted them so easily, there must be other people behind it.

This person originally wanted to harm Luo Junhe, but failed for various reasons, so he shifted his focus to An Qi and Long Yin, convicted two of his closest confidants, and exiled them to Liangzhoukou.
