Chapter Ninety-Six: Teaching Without a Way

When Su Mengtang heard this, he almost dropped the teapot in his hand, and said in a lost voice: "Impossible, Lord Wang, is there any misunderstanding here." Wang Hui shook her head and stopped talking, Su Mengtang looked at Li Zhuoran again, and saw that Li Zhuoran also hung her head and didn't say a word, she suddenly understood in her heart that what Wang Hui said was mostly a sure thing. At this time, the room was surprisingly quiet, and Zhang Yunhua looked at Zhao Qingzhou with a compassionate gaze, bearing the same pain as him in his heart.

Zhao Qingzhou still sat with his back straight, without any emotion, and he couldn't even see any expression. Su Mengtang came over worriedly, leaned down and whispered to Zhao Qingzhou, "Brother Qingzhou, you ...... You okay? Zhao Qingzhou turned his head and smiled lightly at Su Mengtang and said, "I'm fine." ”

Seeing Zhao Qingzhou's smile, Zhang Yunhua only felt that the pain in his heart seemed to be a little heavier, he knew that the more emotionally Qingzhou was quiet, forging his appearance like an iron plate, and the soft and clean emotions surging in his heart, the more he would be shattered and bruised all over his body. Zhang Yunhua shook his head gently at Su Mengtang and motioned for her not to talk to Qingzhou for the time being.

Over the years, Zhao Qingzhou has become more and more accustomed to sharpening his ability to endure in the face of cruel reality. Changfan's rebellion, like a sharp blade, pierced his heart. A smart person like him, after Wang Hui said what he just said, immediately had a judgment that was very close to the truth about the cause of the incident. At this moment, Zhao Qingzhou struggled to calm his mind, not daring to think deeply, nor daring to let the grief in his chest diffuse. Because every time he thinks about it and feels sad, the sharp blade in his heart goes deeper, making him breathless in pain.

Seeing that no one answered for a long time, Wang Hui raised his head and looked around, and saw that everyone was in a dull state, and he couldn't help but be a little surprised. He took a sip of tea and continued: "It's just the mastermind behind the scenes, although it has nothing to do with the Long clan after investigation, I can't come up with evidence for a while." "Oh," Zhao Qingzhou said, "there is Brother Laowang." Wang Hui hurriedly waved his hand and said: "It's not my alone, the Zhuo Ran brothers are also running around and finding key physical evidence." ”

Hearing this, Li Zhuoran hurriedly took out a small cloth bag from his chest, gently opened the four corners of the tie, and said, "Qingzhou, the reason why your recital is empty is because of it. Zhao Qingzhou stretched out his hand and took out an ink strip from the cloth bag that Li Zhuoran had brought over: "This is an ink strip?" Li Zhuoran gave the remaining two ink strips to Zhang Yunhua and Su Mengtang for a look, and replied: "This is the fake ink strip that Rong Zhizhai sold to your Aunt Zhu in the house, which is made of cuttlefish juice, and after a few hours of writing, the handwriting is gone." ”

Su Mengtang took the ink strip in his hand and looked at it again and again, put it on his nose and sniffed it, and said: "Except for a faint fishy smell, from the outside, it is really no different from ordinary ink strips." Zhang Yunhua also took a closer look by the candlelight, and said angrily: "The left side of the door almost killed a life." Wang Hui explained: "It's not just a life, the shopkeeper Rong and his buddies were killed in Rong Zhizhai yesterday, and Changfan also admitted this matter." ”

These words came suddenly, Zhao Qingzhou was defenseless, and couldn't help but shake his body, and said: "Brother Wang, you know Changfan, how can he do such a thing as killing people?" Zhang Yunhua saw that Zhao Qingzhou finally stopped hiding his feelings, his heart was a little relaxed, and he also said: "Changfan definitely didn't dare to kill people, since he was coerced and assassinated Qingzhou in front of him, it is very possible, and he was also coerced to admit the murder, but I don't know what handle the opponent pinched Changfan in his hands, so that he didn't care about life and death." ”

"The genealogy of the clan," Li Zhuoran said carefully: "Changfan was deceived before, thinking that it was Qingzhou's decision that killed his parents, so he agreed to poison him, and since then he has fallen into the calculations of others. When he was really poisoned, he was threatened that if he didn't continue to listen to the order, the poisoning would be reported, and all the people of the clan who had slave status would be implicated, so he could only be controlled by others until the East Window incident. ”

Su Mengtang's eyebrows furrowed, he twisted a handkerchief tightly in his hand, and said, "Who is so vicious and uses a child to do such a cruel thing." "Mengtang, Changfan is no longer a child." Li Zhuoran corrected: "If he was still the ignorant child in the academy back then, he would not have to carry everything to protect his clansmen." Su Mengtang said: "If he is an adult, how can he not know how Brother Qingzhou treats him, and would rather trust others?" ”

"Okay," Zhang Yunhua saw Zhao Qingzhou's expression of self-reproach, and hurriedly stopped the debate between Su and Li: "No matter what, Changfan can't be allowed to die for others." Cheongju, what do you have in mind? Zhao Qingzhou thought for a moment and said: "I have to bother Brother Wang, and when I go to the court, I will only mention that Changfan was forced to poison and change ink, after all, the official family used these two things to test whether Shi Miyuan had the evil intention of murdering the courtiers." As for the matter of the shopkeeper Rong, it will not be attributed to the same case for the time being, let's go back to Jiangning, and then we will slowly find out the person who instructed Changfan to take the crime. ”

Wang Hui thought about it for a moment and praised it as a good idea. But Li Zhuoran was still a little worried: "In this case, how will Changfan be disposed of?" "Zhao Qingzhou said: I want to ask the official family for his life, if it doesn't work, I will slowly drag it out for a while, and wait until this matter disappears, and then make plans."

Su Mengtang said: "It seems that this is the only way, but if he is really coerced by Shi Miyuan's people, even if he is out of prison in the future, he will definitely be remembered." At that time, it is better to let Changfan go back to Jiangnan Villa with me and be a helper for Chai Wu. After all, I'm more secretive there, so let Chai Wu teach Changfan some kung fu, so that it can be used for self-defense in the future. ”

Qingzhou was very moved when he heard this, and got up and said: "I first thanked Sister Su for Changfan, if Changfan escapes from this catastrophe, he can really settle down in Jiangnan Villa, which is also his creation." Seeing that Zhao Qingzhou was so solemn, Su Mengtang also stood up and said: "Brother Qingzhou must be polite, the reason is that my villa has been lacking a few henchmen recently, so I thought of asking Xiao Changfan to help, if I want to say thank you, I should also thank Brother Qingzhou." ”

Zhao Qingzhou smiled bitterly: "Changfan has followed me since he was a child, he has made a big mistake now, and I have no way to teach, Sister Su will definitely strictly control him for me in the future, don't let him get into trouble again." Su Mengtang laughed lightly and said: "Brother Qingzhou, in my opinion, the matter of Changfan is not that you have not restrained well, but that you only have the guidance and care for him like a father and a brother, but there is less love and affection. ”

Zhang Yunhua was shocked when he heard this, remembering that he had been like this to Qiuqiu, and a trace of guilt suddenly rose in his heart. He looked at Zhao Qingzhou, saw that his face was a little awake, and he wanted to help say a few words of exculpation, but he heard Li Zhuoran say: "Eh, it's dawn." ”

It's finally dawn, and it's time to go to court.
