At noon, Qingtong finished lunch and took a small jar of wine to the prison of the Criminal Department. It turned out that she was familiar with her face yesterday, but today people are polite when they see her, and let her go in to meet people, not to say anything.

In the end, Li Houde has no relatives and friends in Beijing, Zhou Rui wants to clear up the relationship in the open at this time, and the remaining two who committed the crime together naturally did not come to see him, leaving him alone in this prison to regret.

Qing Tong was led to the prison where Li Houde was held with the wine, put down the wine, turned around and asked the jailer for two bowls.

Li Houde had already seen her coming, and he had already gotten up and walked to the edge of the prison door. Qing Tong took the bowl and went over, opened the wine jar and poured the wine, and sent a bowl in.

Li Houde just looked at Qingtong and didn't reach out to take it. I don't know how long he watched it before he took the wine, raised his head in a resentful manner, and sent the bowl to Qing Tong again.

Qing Tong didn't know what to say, hesitated for a moment, and drank from his bowl. After drinking, he raised his sleeve and wiped his mouth, and he didn't say anything for a long time, and turned around to leave.

But after taking two steps, Li Houde opened his mouth: "Wait." ”

Qing Tong paused, turned away, and looked at him. In fact, she just wanted to come and see, and it was enough to invite him to a bowl of wine. Don't talk about any meaning, don't talk about nonsense.

Li Houde put his hand on the railing of the cell, looked at Qingtong and said, "I want to know, did you save yourself yourself, or if there was someone behind you." ”

Qingtong looked at him unmovingly, and said simply: "Both." ”

Li Houde laughed when he heard this, he knew that there was someone behind Qingtong, otherwise it would not be him who was being locked up in this prison now and did not know life and death. He knew early on that there was no force in the capital that could not stand. But he was still naïve and miscalculated.

Putting away the wry smile, Li Houde stepped back, sat down in the corner, and didn't speak again. Qingtong stood for another moment, and Fang said slowly: "No matter how powerful the person behind it is, he shouldn't do such a thing. How do you behave differently from animals? ”

Li Houde sat still and said, "It's too late to say anything now, and you may not be able to be a beast in that situation." You go, thank you for the wine. ”

Qing Tong didn't want to say anything more, so she turned around and left.

Maybe at this time, Li Houde didn't feel that there was anything wrong with what he did with Zhou Rui. He only resented in his heart, Zhou Rui couldn't protect him, no one could protect him. Even, he may still blame Qingtong in his heart who should have been dragged to be sentenced.

There is no suspense, after Li Houde took the blame, he was sentenced to death within a few days. He raped the girl of the Feng family, and the Zhou family wanted him to take the bag, so he naturally had nine lives and couldn't survive this time.

After Li Houde's death, this matter came to an end. Feng Yu was not killed by Feng Zhiwen, but quietly stuffed into the Zhou family and became Zhou Rui's aunt, and it was Zhou Rui who agreed to Feng Zhiwen at the beginning. A crazy and stupid aunt in a room, just keep it.

And not long after the end of this matter, the emperor directly investigated the matter of the Ministry of Rites Shangshu Feng Zhiwen breaking into private houses and using force. This matter is not big or small, and it can be charged with abusing power and harming good people. But the emperor directly pursued it, that is, it was too small to say that it was too small.

Feng Zhiwen was ordered to be dismissed, and the Feng family was prominent for a while, but he just made a mistake and stopped.

Feng Zhiwen hated it very much, but he had to take off his official uniform and hat. But Zhou Qingxiu came to comfort him, only saying that they were also in-laws, and it didn't hurt to ask Feng Zhiwen to be idle for a while, after all, he would always help him one day.

Feng Zhiwen was unwilling, and only asked Zhou Qingxiu: "Why did something suddenly happen?" The crux of the problem is in the Criminal Department? ”

Feng Zhiwen doesn't pose any threat to Zhou Qingxiu now, Zhou Qingxiu just wants to coax him and don't let him make trouble about the previous incident again. As long as the face is flat, and there is no need to make this matter fair, there will be no more trouble. Naturally, it is impossible for him to help the Feng family make a comeback.

Regarding this matter, Zhou Qingxiu had already thought of his words, but said: "It's no wonder that Master Li is to blame, and it's also to blame that we didn't investigate it clearly." That green pupil is the emperor's person, and after she was imprisoned, someone told the emperor the news. It was the emperor himself who ordered the criminal department to release the people. ”

"It can't be!" Feng Zhiwen's eyes widened.

Zhou Qingxiu looked at Feng Zhiwen faintly: "If it weren't for someone with a strong relationship, why did the emperor remove him from his position as an adult because of such a small matter?" ”

Feng Zhiwen suddenly didn't know what to say, just stunned.

Speaking of which, he can only admit it.

The days are long in the summer, and when the sun is dispersed from office in the evening, the sun is not too west, and the sky does not have the slightest meaning of darkness.

Qingtong and Zhao Yan once again succeeded in getting rid of Yan Qing, and the two found a place to discuss the appointment in the wine before, and now they have also carried out a lot of things.

With the help of Zhao Yan, Qing Tong figured out the relationship between the remaining two people, Wu Yingjun and Zhao Cheng. The original two were also the children of the official eunuchs in the capital, and although the official position of their father in the family was not as big as that of Zhou Rui's family, they were not ordinary masters.

Wu Yingjun's father is a military attaché, who is shoulder to shoulder with the Gu family's uncle, one of the three halls, and commands a part of the forbidden army in the court. Zhao Cheng's father is a civil official, and he is also in the household department, serving as a foreigner.

These family backgrounds and so on that you can know as soon as you inquire about them are naturally easy to get. But if you want to make these two people fall under the law and be punished, you naturally can't rely on these news.

Zhao Yan is now just the editor of the Zhengqipin in the Hanlin Academy, and he is often involved in some things at home. But it is unlikely that you will be able to fully use the power of your home. After all, the Zhao family is his father, and he can't let him do it. Therefore, the places where he can help Qingtong are really limited.

When they had discussed the matter, they dispersed and went back to their respective homes.

Qingtong has been pondering this matter all the way, and now he is weak, he has no eyeliner, and he has to spend a lot of money to hire someone to do things. She thought again about whether she should do this silent grievance. After all, now that Feng Yu has become a member of the Zhou family, people don't care about being hurt, and they can still be in-laws, what is she trying to do?

She couldn't imagine how muddy the water was in the officialdom, thinking that with her meager strength, it would be impossible to make the water clear. Xu Jing can't, how can she?

This is a very powerless thing, and she is not a person who is driven by dreams, she is more realistic.

But then I thought, if not for anything else, I should practice the means and make up for my conscience. After all, this incident started because of her, even if Feng Yu was crazy and didn't remember her. Even if others know that she has a strong force behind her, they don't blame her at all. At the very least, she had to have a good conscience.

Thinking about it like this, when I get home, I walk absent-mindedly. When I was about to enter the door, I was suddenly pressed on the shoulder from behind.

As soon as Qingtong turned around, he remembered his name this time, so he said, "Xingyuan?" ”
