"Do you know who instructed you is?"

The woman shook her head: "I don't know, but I heard the people around him call him the fourth master." ”

Jiang Hongxuan's eyelids jumped, and she secretly scolded Xiao Si in her heart for being useless, and she had such an omission.

Cheng Xu only said that what the mother-in-law said was true, so he said: "Come on, take the Zhao family into custody for the time being." ”

When the woman heard this, she lost her strength, fell to her knees, and was dragged down by the servants.

Jiang Hongxuan's afterglow fell on the woman, and a trace of yin owl flashed in her eyes.

Things have come to this point, and most people with discerning eyes can see that Lin Qingtian and the Su family's concubine behind him are nine times out of ten here to touch porcelain.

It's just that whether it was greedy or instructed by others still needs to be tried again.

Cheng Xu's eyes shot at Lin Qingtian like a blade, and the shocking wood in his hand fell on the case suddenly, making him tremble violently, his shoulders trembled slightly, and his head was buried deeply.

"Dare to distract the people! Dare to deceive the official and falsely accuse Miss Su Fu, are you guilty?! ”

Lin Qingtian trembled with fright, and said vigorously: "Grass people...... Grass Folk ...... The grass people are forced! Right! The grass people are forced! ”

Lin Qingtian was timid, and he had seen his brother Wen'er in prison before, and he thought that if he confessed to the mastermind, this crime would definitely be dealt with lightly.

But......

That Fourth Master Xiao is not a good match, if he takes revenge on him, his little life will not be guaranteed.

Seeing that he had only said that, he kept silent.

Cheng Xu furrowed his brows, estimating that there was a good chance that someone was instigating him behind him, so he said step by step: "Lin Qingtian, this crime of false accusation can be big or small, the main prisoner is imprisoned and exiled, and the accomplice will suffer at most flesh and skin, you think about it clearly!" ”

Imprisonment and exile are more important than death.

But Fang Cai himself had already leaked his mouth, so he had to continue: "My lord, the villain has no knowledge, I only heard that the Su family has a big business, and if you can get a little relative, you won't have to worry about food and clothing." So, I was bewitched and came to Kyoto. But that person, the villain really doesn't know! I just remember the appearance, the man has triangular eyes, a garlic nose, and a black mole under the corner of his mouth......"

Su Luan couldn't help but sneer in his heart when he heard this, this look, the standard bad guy look. And the person with this look, isn't it the Xiao Si she stopped a few days ago?! Count him Lin Qingtian has brains, not only did he get rid of the suspicion of the main culprit for himself, but he didn't confess the person behind him, but he wanted to leave unharmed after pit her, but it was not such a good thing!

Su Luan raised his eyes and glanced at Jiang Hongxuan, and then said: "My lord, the person in his mouth, the little girl has seen one, but I can't remember the name for a while. Can the adults take this person into custody, let the little girl think about it? ”

Cheng Xu glanced at her and felt that this girl was extraordinary, but judging from this fearless and calm bearing, there was Su Zhan's eight-point shadow.

Forget it, it's better to sell General Su and King Jing's son alone.

So he pushed the boat down the river and said, "It's okay." Someone came, took Lin Qingtian into custody, and temporarily locked him in the governor's prison. ”

Lin Qingtian thought that his confession would at least save him from prison, but who would have thought that he would be put on the spot by this little hoof. He glared angrily at the person in front of him, only to see her staring at him with naked disdain in her eyes.

"You...... You...... You did it on purpose! Deliberately! His face was pale, and there was a little fear in his eyes, and he was dragged down by the arm......

And Lin Yanyan, who was the last to kneel in the hall, seemed to be relieved after watching her father being dragged down, and kowtowed to Cheng Xu three times in a row.

Cheng Xu saw at a glance that there was something wrong with this girl's behavior, and just wanted to ask, he saw the girl crawling towards Su Luan, her hand tightly tugging at the corner of her skirt, her eyes full of tears, as if she wanted to tell her some grievances.

Although Su Luan didn't have a good impression of Lin Yanyan, he had a little pity.

"Yanyan, how is your voice hoarse? What do you want me to help you with? ”

Lin Yanyan nodded, then pointed to her throat, and then pointed to the direction in which Lin Qingtian was dragged away.

"You mean, you were poisoned by your father?!" Su Luan asked in surprise with some disbelief.

Lin Yanyan's tears burst out of her eyes, wetting the black veil covering her face.

"That brute!" Su Luan was angry and scolded.

Then her clenched hands slowly lifted, hesitated, and still removed the black veil from her face.

The entrance was a sallow goose egg face, and there were hideous scars on his cheeks that looked like they had been burned by something.

Her hand trembled slightly, touched her cheek lightly, and asked with a complicated look, "This is also what your father did?" ”

Lin Yanyan bit her lip and nodded silently.

It was the night they came to Kyoto, and his father suddenly entered the room where she was resting with a red porcelain vase. Without even an explanation, he pulled her over, opened her mouth, and poured her the bitter black potion in the bottle.

She was so frightened by his madness that she struggled to cry and scream, and her mother heard her cry and rushed in from outside, and tore her father apart. He cried and screamed and cursed while fighting, saying that he was a beast and how could he destroy his own daughter with such a thing.

However, Lin Qingtian is useless, he is also a man, and strength is an innate advantage. He kicked her mother down, knocked her unconscious with a few slaps, and finally summoned her milk and tied her up with a rope.

She wanted to cry, she wanted to cry out for help, but at this moment, she found that her voice could no longer make a sound.

His father looked at her grimly and reached out to wipe the tears from her face.

He said, "Yanyan, don't blame Dad. If you want to blame Lin Luan, who let her take all the good things she did! However, don't worry, even if you are dumb and your face is ruined, you will still live a good life in the future, you will become the daughter of a general, and your father will have endless glory and wealth in this life because of you......"

Lin Yanyan wiped the tears on her face, tugged at the corners of her skirt, and her lips couldn't help moving.

Su Luan frowned, carefully recognized her mouth shape, and asked tentatively for a while, "You...... Let me save ...... Save your mother? ”

Seeing that she understood her words, she nodded hurriedly.

Su Luan looked up at Cheng Xu at the top and said, "Master Cheng, Lin Yanyan was coerced by her father, and now her mother is also in danger, the little girl dares to ask the adult to let her go back to save people and avoid her from the crime of deception." ”

Cheng Xu pondered for a moment and said: "There are no rules, there is no circle, although she is a victim, she is also a perpetrator. The ruler allowed her to go back and save the people, and as for the punishment, let her be punished with ten days of labor in the poor of the city. ”

Su Luan didn't know much about Cheng Xu, but judging from his attitude towards his father and Tang Mingqi just now, he knew that this person was not afraid of power and was selfless.

And when bargaining with this kind of person, you have to talk about some strategy.

It's like opening a skylight, if you start by saying that you want to open a window in the roof, then he won't allow it. But if you advocate tearing down the roof, he'll be willing to open the windows.

This is why she directly begged Cheng Xu to forgive her sins.

Ten days of labor in the pauper's house should have been the lightest punishment of the governor's house.

Lin Yanyan listened, and hurriedly kowtowed to Cheng Xu and Su Luan to thank her.

This case has been tried here, and Su Luan's life experience has been completely settled. No matter what moth she Jiang Hongxuan makes, it is impossible to turn the tables.

Cheng Xu retired from the hall and assigned the officials of the Beijing Governor's Mansion to follow Su Luan and Lin Yanyan to save people. Su Zhan didn't say anything when he saw Tang Mingqi accompanying him, but only arched his hand towards Lord Cheng, and then strode out of the Jingdu's Mansion.

Jiang Hongxuan saw that the matter was a foregone conclusion, so she had no choice but to follow behind Su Zhan in silence. Su Zhan glanced at her intentionally or unintentionally, and then said, "Hongxuan, you haven't been back to the Prime Minister's Mansion for a long time, why don't you go back and have a look!" ”

Jiang Hongxuan's heart jumped, and she lost her voice: "General...... Concubine...... Concubinage...... Can't go back ......"

"Hongxuan, why can't I remember clearly, when did you start calling me brother-in-law anymore?"

"Concubine...... The concubine is in ......"

"Oh, yes! It was in the year that Luan'er was taken away by someone's teeth, right......" Su Zhan's voice was very soft, but it was enough to make Jiang Hongxuan feel cold all over her body.

She didn't dare to speak, she wasn't sure that she was calm as usual under Su Zhan's scrutinizing gaze.

Su Zhan looked at her pale face and didn't speak again.

Pingjiang City.

The sister-in-law closed the wine shop and rode into the city with Su Zhen.

After a while, the two of them turned into a wide alley, looked around, and made sure that no one was following them, and then walked to the innermost part of the alley. He stopped in front of the vermilion gate with two stone lions at the door. On the left and right sides of the door is a faded picture of Guan Gongzhen's house, and the couplet on the side of the door is probably because of the age, and only half of the broken wood is left.

Su Zhen struck the cymbals with ease, and there was a regular knocking sound, and there was a faint sound of footsteps inside the door.

After a while, the wooden door was opened, and a young man in dark clothes poked his head out. Seeing the two people outside the door, he hurriedly opened the door: "The general is back, and my family is still talking." ”

Su Zhen had obtained the map of this house earlier, and now he is walking in it with a familiar way. The little servant and the sister-in-law fell behind him.

The little guy scratched his head and whispered to her: "Girl, my adults are worried about you." ”

The woman was stunned for a moment and didn't respond.

When the little girl saw that no one spoke, he thought she was embarrassed, after all, he had seen the girl come out of his adult's bedroom that day.

In the main courtyard, Ling Shaotang stared at the moon gate at the entrance of the courtyard with a heavy face, thinking in his heart, how to punish this person when he came in a while.

But when she was a woman, she walked in behind Su Zhen with an expressionless face, and saluted him with a cold look: "The concubine has seen Lord Ling." ”

A self-deprecating smile suddenly flashed at the corner of his mouth.
