Chapter Seventy-Two: The Truth

The next day, Ah Ke and her husband Huang Zhongxin returned to the door. Huang Zhongxin made another meritorious contribution on this expedition, and was awarded the title of Wupin Flying Tiger General by Qianhu. Ake's mother-in-law was very happy and praised Ake Wangfu, and not long after entering the door, her son was promoted to an official position. So he got better and better to Ah Ke. Ke's smile grew, and her heart became more and more confident. And this state of life makes her whole person exude a fresh and peaceful beauty from the inside out, and this beauty makes her body full of a luster called happiness.

Ling Yuanhang came back this time and was promoted to the general of the second rank hussar of the official residence. The young general Zheng Erpin, the only one in the entire imperial court.

Li felt embarrassed again, and his nephew was much bigger than his uncle's official position. But she didn't want to think about it, Ling Yuanhang's official position was all fought for his life on the battlefield.

In ancient times, literati were very slow to be promoted to an official position, but military generals were different, not to mention that Ling Yuanhang, who was still a person with a background, had already been registered in front of the emperor. Isn't it fast for him to go out to fight battles one after another and promote his functions? Therefore, it is useless for the Li clan to be jealous, unless Second Master Ling also goes to the battlefield.

Besides, Ah Ke took her husband back to her parents' house, first went to meet the old lady and Linlang, and then went to meet the Li family. Li Shi looked at the happy little couple in front of him, and thought that this Ah Ke's son-in-law is now a general of Wupin, and his son-in-law is still just a showman, and there will be Qiuwei in a year, so he lost interest, and let them go down with a few perfunctory words.

Ah Ke was not annoyed, said goodbye to his mother-in-law respectfully with a smile, and went to see his aunt and sister-in-law after going to see his eldest brother and sister-in-law.

This time, the two specially brought congratulatory gifts to Ling Yuanhang and his wife, and Ah Ke also made a pair of very strong and comfortable shoes for his eldest brother and sister-in-law. The stitches on the shoes are dense, which shows Ake's intentions.

Aru looked at the shoes and was ashamed of herself. Aru's needlework is average, she can't make such shoes. The only thing she made for her husband was the underwear, and the outer shirt had to be made in the needlework room. She couldn't help but praise from the bottom of her heart: "Ake's needlework is really heaven and earth." Tut, look at this fine stitch, I can't keep up with it for another ten years. ”

Ah Ke smiled: "Sister-in-law is smart, you just don't want to pay attention to this." I'm not like my sister-in-law, I heard that my sister-in-law's father and grandfather and grandmother love you very much. I don't exist except for my aunt, and I can only spend some time in this area. Saying that, her voice couldn't help but be sad: "If it weren't for my eldest brother and sister-in-law, I wouldn't dare to think about what I would be like now." ”

Yaru saw that she was going to be sad again, and hurriedly persuaded: "This hard life is over, my aunt is already a Wupin general at a young age, and my aunt's good days are ahead in the future." ”

Ah Ke raised her beautiful face and said gratefully: "This is all thanks to the blessing of the eldest brother and sister-in-law." ”

The two sisters-in-law are talking about the excitement. Taohong replied: "The princess, the second aunt and grandmother have made trouble on the old lady's side. ”

Aru and Ake were stunned. Ah Zhu married his cousin, Li has always praised his daughter for marrying well, and Ah Ke is arrogant every time he goes back to his parents' house. What's going on here?" Aru asked Peach.

Taohong said: "It seems that my aunt has an aunt who is pregnant, and my aunt and my second aunt have a quarrel, and the second aunt beat the second aunt and grandmother, and the second aunt and grandmother went back to their parents' house in a fit of anger." ”

In the second old lady's room, Ah Zhu and Li were crying, and asked the old lady to go to the Cheng'en Mansion to ask for an explanation. Li snot and tears said: "Our Azhu has been married for half a year, and it's not that we can't give birth, this sister-in-law and daughter haven't yet, and my aunt is pregnant, this is not a mess." Mother must ask us Ah Zhu to come out. ”

The old lady was also angry: "I wasn't very optimistic about this marriage at the beginning, he didn't get married, and there were already several aunts in the backyard, will there be fewer things in the future." ”

"Doesn't you think that Ah Zhu will hurt Ah Zhu a lot if she marries her cousin in her own family, who knows how much it will be like this. Lee sobbed and choked.

The more Ah Zhu listened to it, the more sad he became, he saw that his cousin was handsome and elegant, and his family was good. I didn't think that after getting married, I found out that my cousin was a lustful person, and those aunts were also uneasy. After getting married, my stomach has not moved, and after my cousin's freshness to himself has passed, he frequently goes to my aunt's room.

My aunt helped talk about my cousin at first, but now she always talks beyond the words, and she is still not pregnant. As soon as the aunt became pregnant this time, the aunt looked at the aunt to death, lest she be poisoned. Ah Zhu quarreled with his cousin, but he didn't expect his cousin to beat him. The more Azhu thought about it, the more angry he became.

At this time, the porter came to report: "Old lady, the aunt and grandmother of the Cui family have come to report that the aunt and grandmother have been happy for three months." ”

When Li's mother and daughter heard this, they became even more angry. Li thought: Everything is not as good as the big house. Ah Zhu thought: The second sister is doing better than me, which weighs me down again.

The old lady glanced at the mother and daughter, and asked Mother Yang to go down to reward the person who came to report the news from Cui's mansion. Then he sighed and said, "Prepare the car, I'll go to the Cheng'en Mansion." ”

Soon after the old lady went to the Cheng'en Mansion, Ah Ke and his wife also left. Ling Yuanhang said to Yaru that he would take her to ride a horse with him. Ah Ru happily changed into a horseback riding outfit, took her four maids, and followed her husband Jun Xingxing to come out. The atmosphere of the Great Yuan Dynasty was relatively open, and the requirements for women were not so harsh. Ling Yuanhang took Yaru and his little women to ride horses on the street, which was not unusual.

Ah Ru and Ling Yuan sailed out of the capital, and looked a little strange in the direction they were walking: "Husband, this seems to be the way to our Zhuangzi." ””

"Yes, I'll take you to our Zhuangzi, and my father should already be waiting for us there. Ling Yuanhang's expression was a little dark.

Yaru knew that her husband was in trouble, and she didn't want others to know where they were, so she said in the house that she would take herself to ride a horse. It is not surprising that the people in the house know that they often go out for horseback riding. Yaru didn't ask, and silently followed alongside.

Zhuangzi is not far from the capital, and it will be there in half an hour. Sure enough, the prince of the county was already waiting there.

A few people met and walked to a small courtyard, and they couldn't see anything from the outside, but they pushed open the courtyard door. I found that there were people guarding the yard. Seeing Ling Yuanhang's father and son, they saluted and said hello, Ling Yuanhang asked them to stay outside the door, so the three of them walked in.

It turned out that there was a man in the house, who was about twenty-six or seventeen years old, and his eyes were dull. When he saw the king of the county, his eyes shrank suddenly. Lowering her head, Yaru was stunned: "Isn't this person your second uncle's original servant, why is he here?"

"This person was not with the second uncle some time ago, he was caught in Tongzhou, and he opened a shop in Tongzhou. It was Ling Bo who met him when he was stockpiling grain in Tongzhou. Ling Yuanhang replied.

It turned out that after Su Cheng told Queen An about the assassination of his nephew Ling Yuanhang, he could no longer stay by Ling Erye's side to serve, so King An gave him a sum of money to open a shop in Tongzhou, because Tongzhou is a traffic artery, and people from all over the world must first pass through Tongzhou if they want to enter the capital. Therefore, King An also planted an eyeliner in Tongzhou. When Linlang asked Ling Bo to go to Tongzhou to store grain, Ling Bo accidentally saw Su Cheng, and the two exchanged pleasantries. After Ling Yuanhang came back, Ling Yuanhang once asked him about the transfer of grain and grass in Tongzhou. Empress Ling brought up the matter at that time. If Su Cheng was still by Ling Er's side, this matter would be really difficult to handle, but now that Su Cheng is no longer Ling Er's reporter, this matter will be easier to handle. So Ling Yuanhang asked Zheng Tong to take A-Yuan and Ling Yi to arrest Su Cheng back.

After a few people sat down, the king of the county looked at Su Cheng and said, "Su Cheng, if I release you now, I will tell you the news that I have arrested you, and you say how long you can live." ”

Su Cheng opened his eyes to look at the father and son of the county king, and he asked calmly: "The county king, what crime has I committed in Su Cheng, and you have come to arrest me." ”

The king of the county said: "You should know the ins and outs of the attack on the prince in Luochuan back then, what happened back then, let's talk about it." ”

Su Cheng's eyes flashed with surprise when he heard this, this matter was a very secret matter, except for him and King An, he didn't tell anyone. The king of the county specially arrested himself today to ask about it, could it be that he already knew something, how could this be possible. The people of the year are all dead. No, he said to himself, he can't say it, he can't say it, he can't say it, he may not be able to live if he says it.

The king said, "Why, you think you are doing it very secretly, but someone has seen the whole thing, including the fact that you led the soldiers to drag people to the hillside and buried it." There are eyewitnesses. You said there was just an attack here, how do you know this happened, unless you already knew about it. ”

Su Cheng raised his head suddenly, and looked straight at the county king: "County king, you don't have to lie to me, I don't know what you're talking about." The fact that the prince was attacked was later known to the master from the letter you gave him. How could I have known it a long time ago. ”

Ling Yuanhang beckoned: "Zheng Tong, come here." ”

Zheng Tong walked over. He looked at Su Cheng and nodded: "It's him, I know him, he is the person next to the second master, and he brought people to drag all the dead people away." ”

Su Cheng looked at one of Zheng Tong's arms: "Who are you, why don't I know you, don't you spew blood." ”

Zheng Tong said angrily: "You don't know me, I am the personal entourage of the prince." I watched you drag people away, and you didn't want anyone to know that there was such a terrible fight in that place, and you wanted to deal with it secretly, and I heard everything you said when you buried people. ”

Su Cheng never dreamed of what he was doing at the time, and what he said was all heard. He sat down with his head in his hands.

Several people glanced at each other: Sioux City's psychological defense line was about to be breached. It was quiet in the room, no one spoke.

It's time for a cup of tea. Sioux City said tiredly, "Well, this thing was really done by me alone, it was our idea. ”

Ling Yuanhang said: "You are a minion, do you have a grudge against me? Don't be stupid, Su Cheng, you can't replace such a big mistake for your second uncle." Since we are looking for you, we have other evidence. Including the transaction between the second uncle and the bandits, we have investigated it clearly. And you have two parents. You don't want your parents anymore, we just need a witness. If you cooperate with us, I can spare your life and let you take care of your parents. I heard that your parents are just your son, think that if you die, your parents will have no one to support, and you will be an unfilial son. ”

It was like a hammer hitting his heart, knocking Su Cheng awake, yes, he still has parents to support, and besides, he has already betrayed what Ling Er Ye did to King An? What does it matter if he sells it again, besides, this is not a betrayal, haven't people already found out? The more Su Cheng thought about it, the more annoyed he became.

Su Cheng is Ling Yuanhui's personal soldier, once in an encounter with a small group of Hu people, Su Cheng was almost hacked to death by Hu people, it was Ling Yuanhui who saved him, and since then he has only Ling Yuanhui as the head of the horse, and he has been Ling Yuanhui's personal servant.

When Ling Yuanhang returned to his hometown to worship his ancestors, he only brought fifty personal soldiers because he was not dragged down by his family. When Ling Yuanhui was worshipping his ancestors in Luochuan, Ling Yuanhang once told him that he was going back to Beijing, and at that time he never thought that his own uncle would kill him. Ling Yuanhui asked Su Cheng to send a letter and money to the bandit leaders nearby, so that they could intercept Ling Yuanhang, and for the sake of insurance, Ling Yuanhui also sent dozens of soldiers in his house to intercept him.

But what Ling Yuanhui didn't expect was that Ling Yuanhang was deeply aware of the essence of the Ling family's marksmanship, although he was a little weaker, but the kung fu he had trained hard was indeed real, so it was not so easy to deal with, not to mention that the personal soldiers he brought out were not weak, so he let Ling Yuanhang escape. None of those soldiers survived.

Later, Ling Yuanhui exterminated those bandits. One is to give an explanation to the court and the eldest brother, and the most important thing is to kill people. After returning to the capital, King An found Su Cheng, and used Su Cheng's parents as a threat to ask him to tell Ling Yuanhui's weakness, and in this way, Su Cheng betrayed Ling Yuanhui's attack on Ling Yuanhang to King An, and King An used this to threaten Ling Yuanhui. Later, in order to protect him, King An said that he was his own person. Ling Yuanhui didn't move Su Cheng and let him leave his side. But Su Cheng didn't dare to stay in the capital any longer, so King An gave him a sum of money and let him open a shop in Tongzhou. I didn't expect Uncle Ling to see it.

In addition to determining from Su Cheng's mouth that the attack a few years ago was the work of his second uncle, Ling Yuanhang was very disappointed in his uncle. He knew that the second uncle had a grudge against his grandfather, and he also knew that the relationship between the second uncle and the third room of the big house was not good, but he didn't expect that the second uncle would want his life again and again, maybe the second uncle felt that his father had no son-in-law at that time, and the title could be aside.

King Ling Jun let out a breath, his heart was much brighter, and finally this matter came to light, but the result was too heavy.
