"Let's go! What are you talking about here! Walk! ”

"If there is any injustice, the emperor will find out, this martial arts fraud case is a major matter in the court, it is better for you to be calm and impatient, the emperor will not wronged you."

The sound of the jailers driving them away, but these jailers are also old fritters, knowing that Liu Minsheng is the first offender and has no chance to turn over, he is unceremonious to Liu Minsheng, and to these other imprisoned officials of the Ministry of Rites, but be a little polite, and know how to leave a line in everything.

Driven away by the jailers, these people were a little more restrained. Who knew that Liu Minsheng, who was in the cell, suddenly pounced like crazy, and said with red eyes: "I haven't sold test questions?!" This is a frame-up! It's a frame-up! ”

The Ministry of Rites Shangshu is a good Shangshu, but he suddenly suffered this kind of thing, and he has killed Liu Minsheng's ancestors for eight generations a thousand times in his heart, and at this moment, seeing that Liu Minsheng is still resisting death and refusing to admit it, he immediately became angry and said: "Liu Minsheng, you do things alone, otherwise you will try to drag this official into the water with you!" Niu, the two adults Zhou saw with their own eyes, you and the person who sold the test questions in Qingyun Building connected in the alley, and the person also stuffed you with a pack of silver tickets, and now that the dirty silver has been searched out of your study, what else do you have to quibble! ”

Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Rites also said loudly: "The Praetorian Guard has searched the Gongyuan, and there are more than ten lifters with cheat sheets, all of which have answers to the questions of the literary exam, and those lifters have already admitted that they bought the literary exam questions in Qingyunlou in advance. The emperor has suspended the martial arts of the present branch and must handle this matter strictly. The human and material evidence is there, Lord Liu has no way to deny it, and he can't escape, please see that for the sake of our work together, confess his guilt earlier, and don't implicate his colleagues. In the future, Lord Liu will really have three long and two short, and I can't say that we can still help Lord Liu take care of his family in the past. ”

Feng Ziye, who came in later, is still in a trance, the test questions were made by him, but he has always kept them very well, how could there be a leak of the questions!

His study was heavily guarded, and he hadn't even noticed the problem before. Who is framing him, and how did the test questions get into Liu Minsheng's hands? Feng Ziye felt that the people close to him must have had some kind of internal mole, but now he was speechless, and he didn't know how to clear himself.

Feng Ziye was like a trapped beast, when he saw Liu Minsheng, he really hated that he couldn't kill Liu Minsheng, he felt that Liu Minsheng must have something to do with the person who framed him, otherwise how could the test questions be passed through Liu Minsheng's hands.

Feng Ziye rushed forward, walked through the prison door with both hands, and directly grabbed Liu Minsheng's neck, and said with blood-red eyes: "Say!" Who gave you the test questions! Say it! ”

Liu Minsheng struggled desperately, saying nonsense that he didn't know, Feng Ziye saw him like this, he became more and more angry and angry, pinched Liu Minsheng's neck, and said excitedly: "Lao Tzu will kill you!" ”

He used a lot of strength, and he was a master of martial arts, Liu Minsheng was a very weak civil official, and he couldn't struggle, and he was suddenly pinched and gasped, and rolled his eyes.

When the jailer was busy separating the two, Liu Minsheng had already lost half his life, and he was soft on the ground like a discarded bedbug and coughed violently.

Under the joint investigation of the Criminal Department and the Dali Temple, a large amount of stolen silver of unknown origin was found in the study of Liu Minsheng, the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, and a piece of dirty silver was brought into Jinxiang Bofu as a dowry for his daughter.

Later, a lot of silver tickets and an account book were found in Feng Ziye's outer room, which clearly stated the list of candidates for buying essay questions and the transaction amount. Within two days, Dali Temple traced that it was the son of a mother in Liu Minsheng's mansion who was responsible for selling test questions in Qingyun Building, but the day before the literary examination started, Liu Minsheng sent this person back to his hometown to hide.

However, this person accidentally fell off a cliff and died on the way back to his hometown, which further confirmed the evidence that Liu Minsheng and Feng Ziye joined forces to sell test questions and later killed people.

Although other officials of the Ministry of Rites were not involved, the fraud case had a bad impact, which greatly damaged the image of the imperial court and disgraced the emperor, and Emperor Qin Ying severely punished a cadre of officials.

Liu Minsheng and Feng Ziye were sentenced to be executed, the men of the family were exiled, the women were put into official prostitutes, the official secretary of the Ministry of Rites was dismissed, and other officials of the Ministry of Rites were each demoted to a first-class punishment of three years.

Martial artists who participated in the literary examination were all disqualified from martial arts if they bought the test questions, bribed them, or were found to have been found out.

He also appointed a new secretary of the Ministry of Rites and a cadre of officials, and ordered them to quickly rectify and arrange time as much as possible to carry out military affairs.

Jinxiang Bofu, Mingxin Courtyard is the courtyard of Liu Huijia, the wife of the prince.

It was dark, and all the courtyards in the house were lit up, but Mingxin Courtyard was like a dead and silent deserted courtyard, with no light at all, and it looked dull.

There are not many people in the courtyard of the dignified Mrs. Shizi, and everyone in the Bofu knows that the Madame Shizi has not yet married into the Bofu and is rumored to have been cheated by a foreign businessman, and she is no longer innocent.

Later, the matter came to Jingzhao Mansion, which was considered innocent, but this kind of thing, where can it be said clearly, there are still a lot of rumors. The people originally wondered, why is this all like this, Jinxiang Bofu also married Liu Huijia. As soon as Mrs. Shizi entered the door, she was a little surprised.

It's not that Bofu believes in Liu Huijia's innocence at all, because since Liu Huijia married into the door, the prince has never entered the Mingxin Courtyard, and even the night of candles in the cave room, the prince has spent it in the concubine's room.

The next day, Mrs. Bo fell ill, and Mrs. Shizi didn't even offer tea to recognize her relatives, and was guarded in Mingxin Courtyard and was not allowed to take a step. Look, although Mrs. Shizi got married, she was not recognized at all and was imprisoned.

Two days ago, Mrs. Shizi's father was imprisoned for selling martial arts test questions, and even found out that Mrs. Shizi's dowry contained hidden silver.

Uncle Jinxiang really lost face, and now it is rumored that Uncle Jinxiang married an unclean daughter-in-law, originally to covet the daughter-in-law's unclean dowry.

Jinxiang Bofu has become a laughing stock, the prince just rushed into the Mingxin courtyard today, and it didn't take long to hear the sound of kicking and abuse, and the cry of Mrs. Shizi was even more far away.

Later, the cries gradually disappeared, and the people did not know whether Mrs. Shizi was dead or alive now.

Liu Huijia is still alive, but she can't wait to be dead. She wanted to marry into a noble family, but now she finally got married, but she couldn't see any hope. Originally, she thought that the pigs and dogs she had in Jinxiang Bofu were not as good, and when her mother's family knew, her father would support her.

But what she was waiting for was the news that her father was sentenced to be executed and the Liu family was raided. Liu Huijia married into the Jinxiang Bofu, but instead of helping the Liu family through the guò marriage, she became a pitiful insect in the Jinxiang Bofu who was manipulated and killed at will.

Liu Huijia doesn't understand why things have become like this, a month ago, she was still a girl in Liu's mansion, and she still enjoyed the envy of many young ladies, looking forward to marrying into a high family.

Why is it that in the blink of an eye, there is no qiē. Liu Huijia thought about it seriously, she seems to have had frequent accidents since she met Gu Qingwan, so the affairs of the Liu family must have something to do with Gu Qingwan, it must be the Liu family that her man, Yan Guangwang, helped her frame, Gu Qingwan She really came back to take revenge!

Liu Huijia hated to death, but now she has no choice, hatred supports her, she wants to live and take revenge!

There was a pain in her body, and her nose and face were swollen from being beaten by Li Ze, but this also reminded Liu Huijia of one thing, that is, if she can't find a way, if she doesn't escape, she will definitely be killed directly by Jinxiang Bofu!

Liu Huijia has no doubt about this!

She was anxious, but she seemed to hear a movement, and she pricked up her ears to listen, and finally made out that the sound was coming from the back window.

The doors and windows are obviously sealed, why is there any movement in the back window at this time? Could it be that Uncle Jinxiang finally couldn't help it, and was ready to kill her tonight and let her die violently?

Liu Huijia shivered and stared at the window in horror.

After a while, the window opened, and a dark shadow came in, Liu Huijia was about to scream, but heard a voice sound, "Girl? Girl, where are you? ”

It was clearly the voice of her mother, Mother Kim!

Liu Huijia suddenly said in a trembling voice: "Mother Jin, I'm here, here." ”

"The girl quickly went with the slave maid, and the slave and maid spent a lot of money to dredge up the water, so that they could come here. The girl hurried to go with the slave and maid, and if she didn't leave, she was afraid that it would be too late. Come, the slave and the maid help the girl up. ”

Liu Huijia was moved to tears, followed Mama Jin out of the back window, and sneaked all the way to the back door of Jinxiang Bofu.

Mother Jin really figured out the path and opened up the relationship, after the two pillars of incense, Mother Jin helped Liu Huijia to escape from Jinxiang Bofu.

Liu Huijia, who was in a state of agitation when she escaped, didn't notice that Mother Jin took a look at the dark place in the east when she left Jinxiangbo's mansion.

Song Ning was standing in the dark, watching Mother Jin take Liu Huijia out, he raised his eyebrows and smiled, and turned to leave.

Song Ning was the person Qin Yu promised to lend Gu Qingwan a few days, and soon, Gu Qingwan learned the news that Liu Huijia had left Jinxiang Bofu.

Na Jin's mother was bought by Gu Qingwan to take Liu Huijia out of the house, and Gu Qingwan helped Liu Huijia leave the Bofu, but she intended to be Liu Minsheng in the prison of the Criminal Department.

In the past few days, in order to lure out the Zhou family, Gu Qingwan has also done something in the prison of the Criminal Department, so that Liu Minsheng got the opportunity to deliver news to Zhou Dingxing as he wished.

But no matter whether Liu Minsheng begged or threatened, the news he sent to the Zhou family was like a stone sinking into the sea, and the Zhou family didn't pay attention to him at all.

And tomorrow is the day of Liu Minsheng's beheading, I believe that Liu Minsheng must hate the Zhou family who will not be saved when he sees death, if Liu Minsheng really holds some handle of the Zhou family in his hand, he will definitely sue the people he trusts before he dies.

Therefore, Gu Qingwan wanted to send Liu Huijia to the cell to see her father for the last time.

Hearing that Liu Huijia had left the Bofu, Gu Qingwan only asked Wen Qing to send a message to Song Ning, saying: "You go and tell Song Ning and let him arrange for Liu Huijia to go to the prison of the Criminal Department, no matter what, you have to pry Liu Minsheng's mouth open!" ”

Wen Qing responded, but the thought of facing Song Ning again soon, her legs trembled.

But the master's orders, Wen Qing must do a good job, she almost dragged two lead-filled legs to the second gate. From afar, I saw Song Ning standing outside the second gate, he was wearing a cyan robe, and the red light of the lantern shone on his body, which did not soften the cold air on that person's body, but seemed to drench him with a layer of blood, which made Wen Qing suddenly think of the whipping of the autumn cuckoo that day.

Wen Qing only glanced at it from a distance and then hurriedly lowered his head, and walked to the second gate step by step, without looking up, and said, "My master said, let Song ...... Song guards arranged for Liu ...... Liu Huijia went to the prison of the Criminal Department to see Liu Minsheng and listen to what the father and daughter had to say. ”

She finally held her breath and finished speaking, as if she had put down some big burden, without saying a word, she turned around and ran, and the speed of running was in stark contrast to the step by step when she came.

Song Ning saw that Wen Qing's girl disappeared in the blink of an eye, thinking of the stiff appearance of the little maid who had lowered her eyes and twisted her fingers to convey Gu Qingwan's meaning in the past few days, and she didn't dare to look at it more, she suddenly shook her head funny.

Song Ning went to make arrangements, and half an hour later, Liu Huijia learned from Jin's mother that Jin's mother had a distant cousin who was a jailer in the prison of the Criminal Department.

Tomorrow is the day when her father beheaded the public, Liu Huijia said that she would go to see her father in everything, she cried and knelt down and begged her to be a subordinate who didn't even look at her eyes before, Jin's mother promised her to help her dredge up the relationship, and see if she could let the distant cousin let Liu Huijia go in to meet Liu Minsheng.

After Mother Jin agreed, she left the inn where they temporarily stayed, and came back after half an hour, but brought Liu Huijia a good news, saying: "Girl, the slave maid promised to give ten taels of silver afterwards, and the cousin of the slave finally agreed." But she has to wait a little longer, at least three days, before she dares to let us in. ”

Liu Huijia immediately gratefully took Jin's mother's hand, thanked her repeatedly, and lasted until the third watch, Liu Huijia shrunk up, blowing the cold wind and waiting in the dark outside the cell, fainting in the cold, and only waited until Jin's mother's cousin beckoned them to hurry over.

Jin's mother helped Liu Huijia and stumbled into the cell, who knew that before she got close to Liu Minsheng's prison, she suddenly heard screams from inside.

"Come on, damn it, Liu Minsheng hanged himself!"

"Damn, who's on duty! How do you look at the people, how can the hell behead Ming'er when the person dies! ”

The invective was especially clear in the silence of the prison, Liu Huijia fell to the ground, and Jin's mother was at a loss. The jailer who brought the two of them in was also stunned, and he came back to his senses after half a ring, knowing that it was an accident and that the matter had not been done.

After such a thing, the prison will soon be lively, and Jin's mother and Liu Huijia are not suitable to stay here anymore, the jailer hurriedly urged the two to leave quickly, and said: "It's really not that I don't help, now that everyone is dead, there is no need to see it, hurry up, don't bother me." ”

Liu Huijia wanted to cry, but Jin's mother covered her mouth and dragged her out of the cell.

Half an hour later, Song Ning returned to Prince Li's mansion, but directly entered the Hanmo Academy.

It was late autumn, and the night was bitterly cool, and the wind was a little strong tonight, blowing the lamp hanging under the porch swaying, as if it was going to be extinguished in the next moment.

The large window next to the Qin Yushu's case was open, and the lamp on the bookcase was probably blown out by the wind, and under the faint starlight, a tall figure could be vaguely seen sitting in the Taishi's chair, motionless.

The night breeze poured in through the window, and the figure was in the wind, but I don't know how long it had been there.

Song Ning twisted his eyebrows, he didn't know what had happened to the master and Miss Qingwan in the past few days, the master hadn't entered the inner house for a few days.

Song Ning remembered very well that the first day when the master did not return to the inner house was the day when the Wen Examination had an accident.

That day, the master returned home early in the evening, and there was no political matter to deal with, but the master asked him to go to the inner house to spread the word, saying that there was government affairs to rest in the front yard.

Then that night, the master sat behind the bookcase, pushed open the window and took the book, and pretended to look at it, but his eyes frequently looked at the cloister outside.

Song Ning is not a delicate person, and he can see that the master is obviously waiting for Miss Qingwan to appear and ask him to go back.

But that night waited until the second watch, and did not wait for the person who should come, and the master went into the house to sleep angrily.

The next day, the master simply returned to the house on the second watch, and the first thing he did when he returned to the house was to ask what the girl was doing, but he had asked him, and the answer he got was.

"The lights have been turned off in the Snow Courtyard, and the inner courtyard has not sent anyone to ask the second master today."

Song Ning still clearly remembered the expression of the master at that time, and the coldness on his body made people want to retreat, so as not to be frozen into an ice sculpture. Then the master strode into the house and slammed the door.

On the third and fourth nights, the master returned to the palace at a normal time, and after he came back, he neither inquired about the girl Qingwan, nor did he tell them to send any news to the inner courtyard, just like there had never been such a person as Aunt Gu in the mansion, and the master should sleep and eat in the Hanmo Courtyard.

If you ignore the master's rapidly emaciated face shape and obvious bruises under his eyes, even Song Ning will probably feel that his master is too late to let go of Gu Qing.

But in the past two days, the master has obviously disguised himself very well, why did he suddenly stop pretending tonight, but instead blew cold wind in the night.

Sure enough, his hunch was right.

I know that even if Miss Gu enters the palace, the master's life will not stop, look, it hasn't been two days since she entered the palace, and the trouble is even worse than before.

Song Ning looked at Qin Yu's contemplative afterimage in the night, and wanted to go over, but he didn't dare to go over.

In the end, loyalty defeated the cold, he gritted his teeth and clenched his fists and walked over, stood outside the window, bowed his head and said, "My subordinates meet the second master." ”

Through the window, Qin Yu didn't move for a while, and only after a long time did he move his stiff and numb body that was hung by the cold wind, and slowly turned his head to look at Song Ning, his voice was hoarse, and said, "Let's rest when you're done, retreat." ”

His voice was very calm, but Song Ning felt uncomfortable for some reason, he had followed the master for more than ten years, and he had never seen the appearance of the master.

He stood still, rarely did not immediately obey the order, and said: "Tonight, his subordinates were ordered to take Liu Huijia to the prison of the Criminal Department, but unfortunately something went wrong, Liu Minsheng died before Liu Huijia arrived, saying that he was wrapped around the cell door with a trouser belt and hanged himself, and his subordinates checked afterwards, and there were traces of struggle in the cell, and although Liu Minsheng's body was indeed suffocated to death, there were two strangulation marks under his neck. ”

Hearing this, Qin Yu was really diverted a little, and said with a sneer: "I don't know, Zhou Shoufu's hands have actually reached the criminal department!" ”

Obviously, Zhou Dingxing has someone in the prison of the Criminal Department. The man found out about their arrangement and dealt with Liu Minsheng one step ahead.

Song Ning also lowered his head and said: "It's the subordinates who are not doing well, so I noticed it." ”

Qin Yu waved his hand and said, "I don't blame you, we all underestimated Zhou Dingxing, ruthless and cautious enough." ”

He said that, thinking of us in his mouth, he was talking about himself and Gu Qingwan, and he was stunned for a while, and his body image was frozen, and then turned into a calm black.

Song Ning quickly raised his eyes and glanced at Qin Yu, who was stagnant, gritted his teeth and said: "What do the master and Miss Gu have, you might as well go back to the inner courtyard and explain it clearly in person, what's the matter if you hide like this." ”

After Song Ning finished saying this, he silently gave himself a thumbs up, lit another wax, shrunk his head, and prepared to meet the storm.

However, what he expected didn't happen, Qin Yu even chuckled lightly and said, "You kid understands better than you?" ”

Song Ning couldn't believe it, and was stunned before he looked up and said: "It's the subordinate mother who said it, the subordinate father and mother have a dispute, that is, it's good to say it, the subordinate mother also said, the bedside fight and the end of the bed, don't wipe your face and hide, the longer the time, the more it hurts your feelings." The second master is like this, maybe the second master Gu still thinks that the second master is really busy with political affairs, and she can't take care of going back to the inner house, and if Gu Qing thinks that the second master has not returned to the Snow Courtyard, he has gone outside, or he has fallen in love with someone next to him, how can this be good! ”

After he finished speaking, seeing that Qin Yu sat up straight unconsciously, obviously listening to his words, he suddenly became more interested, and hurriedly added: "Come again, the second master didn't see it, maybe Miss Gu hasn't thought about tea and dinner these days, and she can't sleep at night." ”

Qin Yu's eyes were like a ball of dead ashes when he heard this, and he was suddenly ignited by the wind, he stared at Song Ning and said, "You have been communicating with the inner courtyard for the past two days, did her maid tell you something?" She didn't think about tea and dinner for the past two days, and couldn't sleep at night? ”

Song Ning met Qin Yu's scorching eyes, but he shuddered, he felt that he really had a confused brain before he dared to come to unravel the master, and now he was facing such unprecedented pressure. But his brain seemed to be really muddy, because on the premise of knowing what the consequences of deceiving the master were, he actually nodded at Qin Yu.

After looking at the window, Qin Yu stood up abruptly and strode out, and Song Ning shivered fiercely.

------Off topic------

Woo, I forgot to pay for the network cable at home, and suddenly the network was cut off, and I was drunk when I went out to find an Internet café at night
