In the study, Xiao Jue looked at Tang Ning with a look of disbelief: "You guys really ......"

Tang Ning handed him the two written invitations and said, "One for you, and one for Lu Ya." ”

Xiao Jue opened the invitation and looked at it, then looked at Tang Ning, and said suspiciously: "So suddenly, is it because of the marriage of Fengzi?" ”

It was very troublesome to explain to Xiao Jue, Tang Ning waved his hand and said, "You don't need to bring any expensive gifts when the time comes, just come with you." ”

Originally, this was a good opportunity to blackmail Xiao Jue, but after Liu Feng's mother's sixtieth birthday, the imperial court explicitly banned the phenomenon of gift-giving, gifts can be given, but they can't be given too much, and Tang Ning is not ready to accept too heavy gifts, so as not to make Emperor Chen blush.

"Why did you ...... so carelessly" Xiao Jue accepted the invitation, shook his head, and said, "I didn't expect Miss Tang to fall into your clutches so quickly." ”

The surname Xiao is completely reversing black and white, obviously it should be that he fell into the clutches of Tang Fairy, he wants Tang Xiaoxiao to fall into his clutches, but his strength does not allow it......

Xiao Jue looked at the disappearing courtyard wall on one side and asked, "What about Miss Tang?" ”

Tang Ning said: "I went to Ling's house." ”

Xiao Jue was surprised: "Ling family? ”

After listening to Tang Ning's explanation, he looked very surprised and said, "I can't imagine that she still has this relationship with the Ling family, doesn't she mean that she is the cousin of Ling Yun and Ling Feng?" ”

The relationship between the rich man of Tang and the Ling family was also unexpected by Tang Ning, although he did not say it explicitly, but Tang Ning probably guessed that about twenty years ago, the rich man of Tang and the young lady of the Ling family, who was still a poor scholar, were in love with each other, but they were opposed by the Ling family, and in a fit of anger, he eloped with the young lady of the Ling family, that is, the mother of the Tang goblin, and has not been in contact with the Ling family since then......

Time can dilute a lot of things, twenty years later, they have already cooked raw rice, and even their raw rice can be cooked, and those past grievances with the Ling family are naturally not worth mentioning.

If it weren't for the Ling family's action this time, the case of the son of Wu Liehou would not have been closed so quickly.

Xiao Jue remembered something, looked at him and asked, "Han Chong's case, have you heard about it?" ”

Tang Ning nodded and said: "Dali Temple said that it was a vendetta, and after the guard took revenge, when he was found by Dali Temple, he confessed and committed suicide." ”

"Han Chong, this bastard, is really innocent." Xiao Jue clenched his fists and said, "It's just that I pity Brother Han, the white-haired man sent the black-haired man ......, and it is said that the guard's mother also hanged herself at home last night." ”

Tangning looked at him and asked, "Dead?" ”

Xiao Jue nodded and said: "She only has such a son, her son is dead, no one supports her, and she can't live, maybe she hanged herself for this reason...... However, there are rumors outside that it is Brother Han's hand to avenge Han Chong, what do they know, Brother Han is not that kind of person......

Tang Ning asked, "What kind of person is Marquis Wulie?" ”

Xiao Jue said: "In order to be fearless of death, take the lead, be affectionate and righteous, and have clear grievances, he once almost lost his life in order to repay my father's appreciation, and he once ran up and down for the grievances of a common people, and he was directly admonished, so that a certain Jing Zhaoyin, who cares about people's lives, is demoted to other states......"

Tang Ning sighed lightly: "In other words, Marquis Wu Lie is an honest man. ”

Xiao Jue nodded and said, "Among the powerful people in the dynasty, there are not many honest people like him. ”

"Honest people are also the most likely to be bullied." Tang Ning looked at him and said, "Come with me to Ling's house, I have something to ask Ling Feng." ”

He had already asked Liu Lao Er to send someone to inquire, the guard of the Marquis Wulie's Mansion did have a fiancée who was a childhood sweetheart, who was ruined by Han Chong and threw herself into the well to die, he had worked hard for two years, and it was natural for him to sneak into the Marquis Wulie's Mansion to take revenge, but in this case, he still felt that there was something strange.

I wanted someone to go to the guard's house to check, but I didn't expect his mother to hang herself.

Regardless of whether this matter was done by Wu Liehou or not, this clue has been broken, and I don't know if I can ask something different from Ling Feng.

Tang House.

Tang Huai stood in the courtyard with his hands behind his back and asked, "Has it been dealt with?" ”

"Although I didn't expect Dali Temple to investigate the case so quickly this time, I have already disposed of that tail." A one-armed old man behind him nodded and said, "When the people from Dali Temple went, she was already dead. ”

Tang Huai turned around and muttered, "Why did the Ling family interfere in the case of the Marquis Wulie's Mansion?" ”

Tang Jing walked in from outside, walked up to Tang Huai, and said, "Dad." ”

Tang Huai looked at him and said indifferently, "What's the matter?" ”

"The thing I said last time ......" Tang Jing looked at him and said, "Did Niang Niang say when to ask Your Majesty?" ”

"What's the hurry...... Tang Huai looked at him and said: "When did you say it, Niangniang knows it in her heart, you just have to wait patiently, this month is about to pass halfway, can't you even wait for these few days?" ”

Tang Jing nodded, a hint of expectation and hatred appeared in his eyes, and nodded, "I know." ”

In the imperial study, Dali Siqing stood respectfully in the hall and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, about the case of the son of Marquis Wulie......"

Emperor Chen looked at him and asked, "Isn't that case closed yet?" ”

Dali Temple Qing said: "Back to Your Majesty, after the death of the guard who killed Han Chong, the widowed mother left at home also hanged herself yesterday, Dali Temple feels that there is something strange about this......"

"What's the difference?" Emperor Chen walked up and said lightly: "The guard is looking for revenge and killing, Han Chong is innocent of death, after the death of his son, the widow's life is unsustainable, and she hanged herself, which is also in line with common sense, there is nothing strange about it, this case will end here." ”

Dali Siqing looked up at Emperor Chen, his throat moved a few times, and finally bowed down and said, "The minister obeys the order." ”

Even if there is anything strange about this case, it is obvious that His Majesty is not willing to investigate any more regardless of the circumstances.

Whether it is Wu Liehou who kills people because of his hatred, there are any deeper reasons, if this case is investigated, there will only be more and more people involved, this is not what His Majesty wants to see, in comparison, he wants to bury everything.

Dali Siqing has been in power for many years, so he can naturally understand this meaning.

After Dali Siqing withdrew, Emperor Chen walked to the hall and said with his hands behind his back: "It's rare to be confused, and it's even more rare to be confused to be an emperor......"

At the gate of Dali Temple, Dali Siqing looked at Marquis Wulie, and sighed: "This official can understand the mood of Hou Ye very well, but the murderer of Ling Gongzi has been ambushed, and he also confessed to his crimes before he died. ”

Marquis Wu Lie said: "The widowed mother left by the guards hanged herself. ”

"My son died, leaving her alone, and her life was unsustainable, I have done a test, she did hang herself, there is no doubt," Dali Siqing looked at Wulie Hou and said: "Besides, some people say that before she hanged herself, she had seen Hou Ye go there ......, of course, this official is not suspicious of Hou Ye, but people are terrible, Hou Ye should be careful......

Wu Liehou looked at him and was silent for a long time before he arched his hand and said, "I'm sorry." ”

Looking at his back as he limped away, Dali Siqing sighed and turned back to Dali Temple.

In front of the Ling Mansion, Tang Ning handed over the greeting post and said, "I'm tired of reporting." ”

"Wait a minute, both of you." The doorman of the Ling family said politely, and immediately ran in.

The next one to run out of the Ling Mansion was not the porter, but Tang Yaoyao.

She ran up to Tang Ning and said happily, "Are you here to find me?" ”

Xiao Jue said: "No, we are here to find Ling ......"

Tang Ning clicked on Xiao Jue's laughing hole, looked at Tang Yaoyao, and said, "I haven't seen you for two days, you seem to be more beautiful than the previous two days......"

"How can there be ......" Tang Yaoyao waved his hand embarrassedly, and then looked at Xiao Jue, who couldn't stop laughing, his eyebrows furrowed, and asked, "What are you laughing at, do you think what he said is wrong?" ”
