He and Yang Quan hurriedly came to Yang Yizhong's mansion, saw Yang Yizhong, and told the story in detail. Yang Yan couldn't hide it at this time, and told Yang Yizhong how he and Yan Rui met, how they met, the conflict between Yan Rui and Li Jinzhong in the Xie family restaurant, and the night spent on the bell tower.

Yang Yizhong was a little surprised at first, but when he heard that Zhu Xi later used a stick to force Yan Rui to confess. On the contrary, after listening to them, he smiled and said, "It's okay, isn't Yan Rui refusing to confess now?" Even if Yan Rui recruited there, he would still be forced to confess under Zhu Xi's severe punishment, and if it didn't matter, he would make it clear in front of the emperor. If Yan Rui can't be tortured and dies in the lobby, then he will be asked a charge of extorting a confession by torture and causing death to death, so you can rest assured."

Yang Quan listened to it, and then he breathed a sigh of relief. However, Yang Yan couldn't put his mind at ease and said, "So how is Yan Rui, there is no way to save her?"

Yang Yizhong sighed and said, "Yan'er, it's not that I don't want to do it, but there is really no way to save her."

Yang Yan was stunned for a while, and finally understood that of course Yang Yizhong was not without a way, but he didn't want to have a way. Regardless of whether Yan Rui moves or not, there will be no harm to Yang Yan or the Yang family, so whether Yan Rui is dead or alive will naturally not be put in Yang Yizhong's heart. Perhaps for Yang Suzhong, Yan Rui was punished, and dying in court was the best result.

Yang Yizhong looked at Yang Yan, naturally knew what he was thinking, and sighed again and said: "Yan'er, you should understand that there are many things that are not messy and are controlled by you, it's not too early, you go back and rest."

Yang Yanzhong was also very dazed, he knew in his heart that what Yang Yizhong said was actually not wrong. But did he just watch Yan Rui die in order not to be punished for himself?

"Is there really no way for me to save Yan Rui?" Yang Yan asked himself in his heart. If I had changed the tassel or Zhao Qianru, would I have watched them die like this? No, never, I'm going to risk my life and try to save them, and I'm going to give it a try, whether I succeed or not."

"What about Yan Rui?" Yang Yan suddenly found that there was no way to save Yan Rui, and the answer was so pale and powerless. Is it because she's a **? So it's not worth exchanging your life?" Yang Yan suddenly thought of the few hunters he had caught on the expedition, and the nineteen wounded soldiers he had abandoned. Did I really do this for the success of the expedition, or was it because I didn't take their lives seriously? After returning to Lin'an by himself, he forgot about them.

When Yang Yan was questioned by Zhu Xi in Lin'an Mansion, he still felt that he was justified in doing so. But now I realize that my reasons don't seem to be as strong as I thought. Of course, this does not mean that Yang Yan thinks that he did something wrong at that time, and if things happen again, he will still do it himself. But

While walking, while thinking, Yang Yan slowly came to the Dongjin Courtyard. Suddenly, I heard someone say: "Yan'er, why do you look absent-minded?"

Yang Yan looked up and saw that there were two people standing in front of him, it was Wan Xiansheng and Yi Xiu. I was surprised and delighted, and said, "Grandpa, third grandfather, when did you come?"

Wan Xiansheng smiled and said: "You are about to get married, how can we not come to such a big event?" In a few days, your second grandfather will be coming to Lin'an. This time, I'm going to bring that little girl Xueping, you haven't seen that little girl for several years, and now you've grown into a big girl."

Yang Yan knew that Wan Xiansheng was talking about Gu Zhenyang's granddaughter Gu Xueping. Among the three wonders of the rivers and lakes, only Yi Xiu practiced Tongzigong and never married. The other two, Wan Xiansheng and Gu Zhenyang, both married wives and had children. Gu Zhenyang's son and daughter-in-law died early, leaving only one granddaughter, Gu Xueping. To be five or six years old. When he was seven or eight years old, he lived with Wan Ruju and Yang Yan in Linji Village for a while, and asked, since Yang Yan returned to Yang's house, he hadn't seen her again.

Yang Yan invited Wan Xiansheng and Yi Xiu to sit down in the hall, and then taught people to serve tea, but he was still thinking about Yan Rui in his heart. At this time, Wan Xiansheng also saw Yang Yan's thoughts, and couldn't help asking, "Yan'er, do you have anything on your mind?"

Yang Yan woke up suddenly, and suddenly asked: "Grandfather, third grandfather, you had no relatives with Yue Wumu back then, why did you take risks and make trouble in the palace for the sake of his whole family?" Did you ever think about the consequences of doing that?"

Wan Xiansheng and Yi Xiu were stunned by the question, the two glanced at each other, and Yi Xiu said: "Naturally, I thought about it, there are many guards in the palace, and there are many good players among them, maybe they will die in the palace. And even if he escapes with his life, he may be hunted down by the court for the rest of his life, and he can't say in peace. At that time, it was planned that seven people would act together, but four of them did not come, probably because they thought that the consequences would be too serious. It was only at that time that the three of us brothers became like-minded brothers in life and death."

Yang Yan said: "Then why do you three still do it?"

Yi Xiu said with a smile: "Yue Peng was wronged, the world knows that saving his family is righteous, and he should do something and not do something."

Wan Xian said: "Yan'er, I don't know what you want to ask?" But there is one thing to tell you, the husband acts but wants to be careless, and the rest of the husband does not have to take it to heart, what do you do? As long as you think it is right in your heart, you can do it well, and as for whether it is worth it or not, it all depends on how you see it in your heart."

With a "bang", a bucket of cold water poured down on the head. Yan Rui was simmered with cold water and slowly woke up. This is the third time she passed out in the hall today, and at this time, she only felt a pain in her whole body, and the bones of her limbs seemed to be all shattered, and she couldn't move when she lay in the hall. There was a fiery distance pain in his ten fingers, and then he remembered that he had just passed out because of the punishment of holding his fingers with a bamboo stick.

At this time, Zhu Xi's voice also came from his ears again: "Yan Rui, do you recruit or not."

Yan Ruiji has heard this sentence hundreds of times these days, and when he heard it, he suddenly had a feeling of wanting to laugh. She wanted to look up at Zhu Xi's expression, but she couldn't help the distance pain all over her body, so she finally gave up. At this time, I thought of Yang Yan again: If I were tortured and died like this, would he remember me in his heart?

Zhu Xi asked again: "Yan Rui, do you recruit or not?"

"Now that he is there at this time, what is he doing, do you know that I am here to be tortured just to not defile him, if he knew, would he find a way to save me."

Zhu Xi also regretted a little at this time, and he couldn't justify using a big punishment for a weak woman no matter what. What's more, Yan Rui is still the top red prostitute in Lin'an Mansion, and now there are many discussions in Lin'an City. But Zhu Xi was also a little difficult to ride a tiger, so he had to force Yan Rui to confess, so he shouted again: "Yan Rui, can you hear the official ask you?"

"Where are the bones of my father and mother buried? If I die like this, I'll be buried there. Every year during the Qingming season, will he come to my grave to see me, a miserable man?"

With a "snap", Zhu Xi grabbed the startling wood and slapped it fiercely, waking Yan Rui up from his contemplation. He said sharply: "Yan Rui, don't you still recruit you?" The officers on both sides shouted "move" together, and the lobby "buzzed".

At this time, I saw Yan Rui slowly raise his head, smile at Zhu Xi, and then lower his head again, without saying a word, the moment the two looked at each other, somehow, Zhu Xi only felt a chill in his heart, as if it was not Yan Rui but himself who was being tried at that moment. He suddenly grabbed another bamboo stick, threw it down, and said sharply, "Come on, punish me."

Yan Rui slowly closed her eyes: It's actually not bad to die like this, at least when I go to the underworld, I can reunite with my father and mother again, if I can see him again before I die, then there will be no worries.

At this moment, I suddenly heard someone say, "Stop." Then I heard the sound of "Pu Tong, Pu Tong" two human bodies landing on the ground, and then the sound of "yo, sigh" people. Yan Rui opened his eyes and saw that the two errand servants who were about to punish him were lying on the ground more than a foot away, and there was a person standing beside him, it was Yang Yan.
