Tang Yuji stood by the Lijiang River, looking into the distance and stunned, the suffering she had experienced in the past had now turned into a cloud of green smoke and drifted into this vast world.

For so many years, she has traveled to many places and stepped through the steps of the yamen in many places, hoping that one day she can wash away her father's grievances. But the officials and officials are disappointed with each other, and she has eaten a lot of boards and suffered a lot of prisons because of this. Fortunately, God has eyes, and finally when she was about to despair, a person suddenly appeared and found herself. The man claimed to be the leader of the Lingshan Gang, and was entrusted by a mysterious person to help him avenge his hatred and expose the bad deeds of Feng Weirin, the secretary of the military department.

Now that the matter has finally come to an end, Feng Weirin has also been corrected, and she has finally lived up to her father's expectations of her. Recalling his father's kind eyebrows and eyes, recalling the ups and downs of his childhood, Tang Yuji's tears finally burst out of his eyes uncontrollably.

A low male voice sounded behind her, and Tang Yuji turned her head to see that it was the leader of the Lingshan Gang who came to find her that day, Qiu Feng. For the sake of her safety, the Lingshan Gang arranged a boat to take her out of the capital.

Qiu Feng handed her a burden and said, "Now, there are some dry food and silver taels here, which should be enough for you on the road, you can take it!" ”

"Xie Qiu, Gang Master." Tang Yuji took the property in Qiu Feng's hand, suddenly knelt on his knees, and said gratefully, "If it weren't for the help of the Lingshan Gang, I don't know when my father's great revenge will be avenged." Tang Yuji bowed to his father here and thanked the helper for his great kindness. ”

Qiu Feng was so frightened that he took a step back, and joked informally: "Okay, okay, you get up quickly, don't cry and lose your face, otherwise people will think that I am a dignified official Qiu who bullied you a little girl!" ”

"Oh." Tang Yuji stood up obediently, and asked again: "By the way, you said that a mysterious person asked you to come to me, and Yuji was able to meet the saint thanks to the secret help of this mysterious person. I don't know if Yuji can meet this benefactor, so I can thank him in person. ”

"She... It's not convenient to see you right now. Qiu Feng said with an embarrassed face, and then smiled with relief, "But I think she must know your thoughts, as long as you can live well and live well in the future, she will also be pleased." ”

Tang Yuji knew that the mysterious person must have a reason for not being able to see her, so she didn't insist anymore, but nodded in disappointment.

Qiu Feng asked in a deep voice, "Do you have any plans for the future?" ”

"Yuji has been living for hatred all these years, and now that the revenge has been avenged, in fact, it is good to go anywhere. But I wanted to go to Saiwai and experience the exotic beauty there, and no one knew me there, so I could start all over again. Tang Yuji smiled and longed, she smiled exceptionally brightly, which was the innocent smile that a young girl should have.

Qiu Feng turned his head to look at the sparkling water, and a trace of elusive complexity suddenly flashed on his always unruly face. "yes... As long as the grievances can be redressed and the deceased can rest in peace, it is natural to go anywhere. ”

Tang Yuji looked at Qiu Feng inexplicably, not understanding where his sudden melancholy came from, only to see him slowly walking towards the shore mouth, and for a long time, he heard a hoarse voice overflowing from his throat. "National hatred and family hatred are really too heavy shackles." ――

On autumn nights, only three or two candles were lit in the study of the Prime Minister's Mansion, which was particularly dark. Most of Huo Pei'an's face was hidden in the dark, and the depths of his eyes flashed with wisps of gloom, and his cold face was like being covered with three feet of frost, bursting out with a little fatal cold.

Tong Yuan couldn't sit still at this time, and hurriedly asked, "My lord, you want to help the subordinate this time!" Now that Wei Ming is tightly holding on to the pigtails of the Criminal Department, what do you say I should do with the lower official? ”

Huo Pei'an stood with his hands in his hands, and his expression was not clear under the dim candlelight. "Or is it for perjury?"

"Not really! I heard that Wei Ming had already handed the emperor several times, and he even ran to the Qinzheng Hall several times. Tong Yuan said helplessly, as if his troubled feelings were almost stirring up his internal organs.

Huo Pei'an still had an indifferent expression, "Then did the emperor send you to the palace to meet you?" ”

"It's... Not yet. But doesn't the lower official want to discuss countermeasures with adults first and take precautions! "These days, Tong Yuan can be said to be worried every day, for fear that the emperor will send him into the palace.

"Don't worry. The emperor will not summon you at this time, and he will not condemn you for this matter in the future. ”

Tong Yuan was stunned and asked, "Why did the adults say this?" ”

Huo Pei'an's dark eyes drooped slightly, "Think about it, Wei Ming in the main hall of the early dynasty had already pointed the finger at you, but the emperor didn't say anything, and he didn't mean to investigate the port records afterwards, so he hastily retreated." On the one hand, the emperor is exhausted by the affairs of the Ministry of War, and on the other hand, he also wants to let you live. ”

Tong Yuan was shocked, "What do you mean by adult... The emperor already knew that the evidence presented by the Criminal Department was fake? ”

"The hard work of this official and the criminal department, how could the emperor not know it? The reason why he delayed meeting Wei Ming just proves that the emperor intends to protect the criminal department? Master Tong can rest assured, the emperor doesn't want this lump of flesh on your neck yet. Huo Pei'an, "But you are really, I asked you to go to the origin of the weapons in King Rui's old mansion, you can't find the clues of King Rui, even if you can't find out that the weapons are related to the Ministry of War?" ”

"That Feng Weirin's hands and feet are very clean, and he doesn't show any horses and feet at all. Besides, when you said categorically that this matter must have been done by King Rui, Xia Guan naturally didn't think about others, so he neglected to investigate Feng Weirin's line. Tong Yuan said aggrievedly, "But fortunately, the military department is not our people, and Feng Weirin's dismount will not cause us much loss." ”

Huo Pei'an turned his cheek sideways and looked at Tong Yuan, his pale eyes were a little colder than frost. "First the Ministry of Rites, then the Ministry of Punishment, and now it's the turn of the Ministry of War, in these successive big cases, each of them involves a lot of important ministers and gentry in the court, don't you think it's weird?"

Tong Yuan scratched his head with a headache and said, "During this period of time, the court and China are indeed not very peaceful, and major events are one after another. But if there is any connection between it, Xia Guan really can't think of it. ”

Huo Pei'an touched the beard on the side of his mouth, and a dark blue shadow appeared in the depths of his eyes. "This qiē is not just a coincidence, I have a feeling that there are hands behind this qiē that are controlling the overall situation."

"Your Excellency is saying that someone deliberately arranged this qiē?" The more Tong Yuan listened, the more frightened he felt, but after thinking about it, he felt that something was wrong. "But who could this man be? What is his purpose? The officials who stepped down have no connection with each other, and they have no common political enemies! ”
