In the cold winter, Cheng Qing was sweating profusely.

Liu Sizheng saw that her situation was not right, and screamed a few times before Cheng Qing came back to his senses.

Her face was full of pain:

"My lord, I can't remember, I had a serious illness when my father died, and I ......"

She really couldn't remember.

Other memories are very clear, but this one is vague and untouchable.

Liu Sizheng was very disappointed, seeing that Cheng Qing couldn't ask anymore when he saw that he was like this, he sent her down to rest. Next, the three sisters of Liu and Cheng Qing were questioned in turn, they didn't have to act, and when they learned that Cheng Zhiyuan was poisoned before he died, their surprise and anger were naturally revealed.

It is also more difficult to get the four Liu family to recover their emotions.

Liu Sizheng said that if they couldn't recall useful clues, even if the imperial court could correct Cheng Zhiyuan's name, they would not be able to determine who killed him.

In this high-pressure atmosphere, Liu recalls one thing.

It was half a month before Cheng Zhiyuan's death, he came back from Fucheng and called the two masters to the study to discuss, what they talked about Liu I don't know, but Cheng Zhiyuan was so angry that he even dropped the teacup.

Liu Sizheng was thoughtful.

Cheng Zhiyuan took the blame because Zhang Qincha first took down a group of officials in Hetai Mansion, and someone testified against Cheng Zhiyuan.

When Zhang Qin sent people to Jiangning County, Cheng Zhiyuan had already 'committed suicide in fear of crime'.

Zhang Qincha did not find the account book, but he detained the county magistrate and the chief secretary of Jiangning County, both of whom were subordinate officials who assisted the magistrate in managing the local government, and later confessed to the crime of embezzling ink and disaster silver.

The two masters hired by Cheng Zhiyuan also confessed, and they followed Cheng Zhiyuan's orders and made false accounts to deceive the court.

Most of the disaster money was not used for the people affected by the disaster at all, but was withheld and misappropriated.

Cheng Zhiyuan is a hub, the Shangguan of Fucheng testified against him, and the county magistrate and the lord of Jiangning County confessed to him, and even the two masters hired by Cheng Zhiyuan with his own money ...... What about the silver, Cheng Zhiyuan's two-sleeved Qingfeng family has no permanent property, where did the silver he was greedy go?

All kinds of evidence gathered together, so that Zhang Qincha had a terrible inference, Cheng Zhiyuan was just a puppet on the table, and the officials involved in the case in Hetai Mansion drank some broth at most, and the whereabouts of at least 200,000 taels of silver were unknown, but these officials in Hetai Mansion were collectively blamed!

Of course, they themselves are not innocent, they are really greedy, but they are not so greedy.

All kinds of evidence finally led the mastermind behind the scenes to Ye Wangfu, and Zhang Qincha couldn't make up his mind, so he returned to Beijing with the evidence.

The clues provided by the Liu family not only failed to confirm anything, but made Liu Sizheng even more puzzled.

Pushing the charge on a dead man with concerted efforts, doesn't this bully the dead and can't speak?

If Cheng Zhiyuan was doing something for the Ye Wangfu, he would be the hub of the greedy ink disaster silver, and he was killed by the Ye Wangfu afterwards...... The evidence is one after another, but Ye Wangfu and Cheng Zhiyuan have no intersection at all, how did the palace notice a local petty official whose career has been stumbling for more than ten years?

In the next few days, Cheng Qing's family was separated and placed under house arrest, and the family was not allowed to meet, and Cheng Qing was inevitably anxious.

Liu and his three sisters, can they bear it?

Liu Sizheng interrogated the family repeatedly, and only then did he let Cheng Qing's family of five meet again until he could no longer squeeze out any useful information.

On this day, it is the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Chinese New Year's Eve.

The four members of the Liu family were all emaciated, and only then did they know how lenient the so-called 'house arrest' of the Yu Governor's Mansion was.

"It's okay, we're all okay."

Cheng Qing is the best spirit in the whole family.

Liu is not as optimistic as he was at the beginning.

"Xiaolang, will the court really return your father's innocence?"

Liu Sizheng asked about those daily routines, and he couldn't wait for Liu to explain the details of Cheng Zhiyuan's life before his death, what clothes to wear on which day, what to eat, whether he went out, and whether someone came to visit.

Can these things help her husband get rid of his guilt and avenge his grievances?

Liu was deeply puzzled.

Cheng Qing comforted her, "We have to believe in the court and Your Majesty." ”

Not only the Liu family, but the three sisters also lost weight and lost shape within a few days, and the first Spring Festival after the family of five returned to Nanyi was very sloppy, and the sound of firecrackers outside seemed to be very deserted at Cheng Qing's house.

After Chinese New Year's Eve, Liu Sizheng never appeared again.

However, the officials with knives outside Wang Bushang's courtyard still did not withdraw, which shows that the investigation of Cheng Qing's family in Dali Temple has not ended.

Cheng Qing had a suspicion that his family was going to be locked up until he was old.

She didn't know what went wrong, could she still participate in the county exam in February, did the sick Jiao Shizi unilaterally break the contract and kick her to let Ye Wangfu go ashore by himself?

It's so unpleasant to not be able to control the direction of your own destiny and rely on others!

Cheng Qing gritted his teeth and forced himself to read as usual.

It's uncertain whether she can take the exam or not, but she needs to be prepared to refer to it as usual.

Scientific examination, only scientific examination is her only way out, she does not want her fate to be controlled by others, she wants to have the identity and status of the game with others, only scientific examination into the office, from ordinary people to the gentry class!

"Cheng Qing, you can't do anything, calm down and read a book."

Cheng Qing kept brainwashing himself, and after talking too much, he slowly calmed down.

Liu secretly cried several times, pretending to be strong in front of the children, and managing the family's meals every day.

In the first month, they are still very strictly guarded, and no one's things can be sent in, and they can only ask the officials to buy anything they lack.

The king of Hades is good to see that the little ghost is difficult, and after a long time, the guards are also tired of this boring and no oil and water to fish, and have a bad attitude towards Cheng Qing's family, so he asks them to buy things, not only to deduct from them, but also to buy things very poorly.

Cui Yan walked around outside Yangliu Alley, and when he saw the contemptuous attitude of those officials, he gritted his teeth in anger.

He took the money to pay the officials, these officials refused to accept it a year ago, but they dared to accept the money after the year, but it is hateful to hate those officials who collect money and do nothing, the money is collected, and they don't have a better attitude towards Cheng Qing's family.

It seems that they have decided that Cheng Qing's family is hopeless, so it doesn't matter if they are fooled and bullied.

"Nanyi Cheng doesn't care?"

Today, the county government has announced the examination date, and candidates who want to take the county examination can provide personal confession, mutual association and affidavit documents to the county government room, complete these necessary procedures, confirm the reference qualifications, and only take the county examination in February.

Cheng Qing can't leave Yangliu Lane, and he can't even sign up!

If the court drags on for four or five years without a conclusion, will Cheng Qing's family also be placed under house arrest for four or five years?

Cui Yan can imagine how bleak and decadent Cheng Qing will be if he is placed under house arrest for four or five years.

No, he'll have to figure it out.

As far as he knew, the envoys of Dali Temple had already left Nanyi, and the guards of Yizhuang had been removed, so Cheng Qing should also have hope of leaving Yangliu Lane.

It depends on whether Governor Yu is willing to be accommodating.

Cui Yan suddenly thought of a solution.

“…… Cheng Qing, Cheng Qing, if you insist on persevering, you Brother Cui will fish you out, and you will have to fight for yourself! ”
