After coming to the cell, Kong Liangbo felt very uncomfortable, maybe it was because of the reason why he came to the cell for the first time, he felt that the light here was too dim, and the air was mixed with the smell of damp and moldy, so he involuntarily covered his mouth and nose with his hands, and continued to follow Qi Run himself. After walking for a while, he walked to the door of the cell where Kong Haoyu was temporarily held, and said, "Master Kong ordered Gongzi to be here, your father and son chatted slowly, and the next official went down first." Please do your own thing. After speaking, Kong Liangbo nodded slightly and thanked: "Thank you Lord Qi for making this convenient, you have worked hard." After saying that, Qi Run turned around and left.

After Qi Runben left, after Kong Haoyu saw his father, he grabbed the cell door in surprise and joy and asked: "Dad, you save me, I was wronged, I didn't poison or harm anyone, someone must have framed me for this matter." You must save me. ”

Kong Liangbo frowned and said lightly: "Don't shout, what are you shouting?" I have a general understanding of your matter, I don't want you to have nothing to do with this matter, but now that you have been sued by someone to the government office, whether you say it or not, I have to let the deacon investigate to know whether you have anything to do with this matter. Okay, let's not talk about that, can you tell me if you have encountered anything recently? Whether it's restaurant management or management, you have to think about it and talk to me about it, and I'll consider whether to let you out first. ”

After hearing his father's words, Kong Haoyu's anxious mood was more or less quiet, and then he quietly recalled the things of half a month ago, from the purchase of goods in the store to cooking to receiving guests and finally sending away guests, etc., Kong Haoyu carefully recalled every detail according to his father's reminder, hoping not to miss anything, while Kong Liangbo stood quietly outside the cell door and looked at his son's every expression, and hoped to see that his son was indeed wronged and falsely accused. He wanted his son to be innocent in this matter.

About half an hour later, Kong Haoyu never thought about what happened in the past half a month, not only in the half month when the crime occurred, even if it was pushed forward for another half a month, Kong Haoyu still didn't have any impression, after thinking about it to no avail, Kong Haoyu still shook his head with his father and replied: "Dad, the child just can't remember what's wrong, from the purchase to my cooking, to the meal being served to the guest's table, I don't remember what the problem is." Dad, what I said is true, you have to believe me, I really haven't done anything hurtful. Father! ”

Kong Liangbo listened to his son's words, and looked at the expression on his son's face from beginning to end, Kong Liangbo felt that Kong Haoyu was telling the truth and had no intention of deceiving, because if it was really deception, Kong Haoyu would become very flustered and speak incoherently. After all, he is his own son, and if he lies or not, he can see it at once as a father, whether he looks like he has a heart and eyes, he can also see it. He lightly reassured: "If you stand straight, there is nothing to worry about, I believe that Lord Qi will definitely handle the case impartially, you should be here for a while." I can't overstep my duty in investigating this case, so it may be hard for a few days, so you can stick to it. If you don't find anything in a few days, you'll be released. ”

"Uh-huh....... That...... Well, just follow Daddy's arrangement. As soon as Kong Haoyu heard this, he had no choice but to obey his father's arrangement.

After appeasing Kong Haoyu, Kong Liangbo instructed Kong Deyu: "When Deyu goes back, you let Xiao Yuzi run more back, and the eldest young master's three meals a day, as well as the water to drink, also remember to send them here." The conditions in prison do not have to be better than outside, and self-sufficiency can still be had. It is inconvenient for me to intervene in this case, so you ask me to pay more attention to it, cooperate with the early conclusion of the case, and clarify the grievances of the eldest young master. Do you understand? ”

Kong Deyu nodded and responded: "Yes, master, I will arrange it when I go back." Don't worry, I won't let the eldest young master suffer a little grievance. ”

After speaking, Kong Liangbo nodded slightly and said, "Then let's go first." Then he turned and left.

Looking at his father's back as he walked away, Kong Haoyu took a long breath and slowly took a few steps back.

After coming out of the cell, Qi Runben hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Master Kong, have you finished visiting?" Kong Liangbo turned his head and looked at Qi Runben lightly, and said, "Hmm." I'm tired of the deacon's concern about the dogs. I'll send someone to bring food to the dog in the next few days, so I'll ask you to be more accommodating. For the trial of the case, Lord Qi will handle it in accordance with the charter. The official doesn't have any more requirements. ”

Qi Runben replied again and again: "This is natural, and the lower officials must be accommodating." Thank you for your understanding. The lower officials will definitely deal with it impartially. If the eldest prince of Kong is a subordinate who has been framed, he will definitely do his best to return the innocent prince of Kong. Please rest assured. As soon as the words fell, Kong Liangbo nodded silently and left the mansion with Kong Deyu.

After sending Kong Liangbo away, Qi Runben had no choice but to interrogate the few remaining people in the restaurant according to the normal interrogation process. Fortunately, there were only six or seven people up and down the entire Jinfuxuan, including the shopkeeper, so the interrogation was completed in less than a day. Qi Runben took all the interrogation confessions in his hand and looked at them carefully, and said lightly: "The content of these confessions is basically the same, and there is no problem with this view." Could it be that they were all wronged? Are these accusations against them really false accusations? That's a real problem for me. ”

Qi Runben sat silently on the chair and pondered for a while, and then instructed the officer: "From today onwards, you will give me two ways to investigate this case, all the way to investigate the business situation of Jinfuxuan in the past half a month, don't forget to explore the surrounding situation, and you can't let go of a single detail when investigating; On the other hand, it is necessary to conduct a thorough investigation of these people who have complained about Jin Fuxuan, check their living conditions, do not ask them about their neighborhoods, and record any problems in detail; You must do your best for me to do your best in the exploration of these two roads, otherwise there is a little negligence that leads to a mistake in judging the case, not only me, but also one of you, and you can't keep your head! Do you understand? ”

After hearing Qi Runben's words, the servant trembled with fright, and replied repeatedly: "Yes, yes, the lowly job understands, and the lowly job will do it." With that, the servant hurriedly withdrew from the room.

After sending away the errand officer, Qi Runben lightly sorted out the confessions in his hand, and then instructed the attendant who was serving tea and pouring water on the side: "Go and prepare the car, Master Ben is going to go out." The attendant nodded and replied, "Yes, sir." With that, the attendant put down the tea he had just made and withdrew.

……

……

After leaving the Nancheng Deacon's Mansion, Kong Liangbo instructed Kong Deyu: "Deyu, you will get off the car and go home first when you get to the alley of the mansion in a while, I will go to Beixuan Academy to find Nangong Xue, I have been thinking about this matter since before, no matter how I think about it, I feel that there must be something strange in it, it is not like they are harming themselves, no matter how I think about it, I feel that it is people outside who want to harm the eldest young master or Nangong Xue, so I won't go home first, if you can't wait for me for dinner, you will eat first, remember to send a copy to the eldest young master for dinner." Just don't let the eldest young master be wronged in prison. ”

"Yes sir, I see. Rest assured. Kong Deyu nodded in response.

As he spoke, the carriage drove to the mouth of the alley. Kong Deyu got out of the car according to Kong Liangbo's instructions and went back to the house alone, and then Kong Liangbo continued to gallop towards Beixuan Academy in the carriage. When he arrived at Beixuan Academy, Kong Liangbo hurriedly got off the carriage and went straight to Nangong Xue. The reason why Kong Liangbo came directly to Beixuan was because he knew that Nangong Xue had never stayed in Guozijian for a day since he became the head of Guozijian, and he had always taught in Beixuan.

At this time, it happened to be Shen Shi, and the day's teaching in Beixuan Academy had just ended, Nangong Xue sat in front of the lecture, looking at the empty study hall, and secretly felt comfortable in her heart: "This feels really good, this is much stronger than my previous life, in the previous life, those students gave lectures were all standing, and there was no seat on such a big podium." It's so nice now, how comfortable it is to have a seat and sit and lecture. It's still a good feeling to give a lecture. I hope that after they can be educated by me, they will have a different future in the future. There is no point in fighting for power and profit. It would be more appropriate to let them pursue their own preferences. ……。 ”

Just when Nangong Xue was sitting in the study hall enjoying this short time, Kong Liangbo knocked on the door and walked in, saying, "Xiaoxue? Not busy, right? I'm looking for you for something. Can I delay you for a while? ”

As soon as Nangong Xue saw that Kong Liangbo was coming, she hurriedly stood up and said respectfully, "Uncle Kong, why are you here?" I didn't have anything to do here, and I just happened to have nothing to do when the students left, so I wasn't too busy, so you can sit down and say something first, how bad it is to stand at the door, so that people can see it and think I don't respect you. ”

Saying that, Nangong Xue invited Kong Liangbo into the study hall, and casually found a seat and sat down, and said, "Uncle Kong, do you drink water?" I'll have someone pour you some? ”

"Don't be busy, I'm not thirsty." Kong Liangbo hurriedly refused, "You can sit too." It's not appropriate to stand and talk, and if I take the official position, I'm one level younger than you, so don't be polite to me. ”

"Hehe......." Nangong Xue scratched her head embarrassedly and said, "I don't know so much about this official rank, I only know that you are my elder and I am a junior, and it is a courtesy to respect you, and it should be." This was taught by my father. ”

"Uh-huh, I understand." Kong Liangbo nodded slightly and said, "You see that the two of us are also very familiar, and I won't have any official words with you, I came today to learn a little about the situation with you, and I hope you can tell me the truth." ”

"Hmm. ……。 Nangong Xue nodded and responded, "Uncle Kong, please speak." ”
