Dong Cheng nodded, "This is what the minister found out by accident, his wife should not have received any formal professors, I heard that when the family was poor and desperate, she went to the big official's house to work as a doctor for a few years, I am afraid that I will not be able to cut the pulse and ask for a doctor, but I will still know some massage." ”

"So it's very likely that she knows the acupuncture points behind the human body?"

Song Ming nodded, "In this way, there is a big problem with the few silver needles found today, and his mother-in-law Chen is the last person Guo Yi has seen before her death, if she does something, it is not known." ”

"I have heard that Guo Yi's wife is a gentle and housekeeping woman, how can she be so femme fatale," Dong Cheng's eyebrows wrinkled together unconsciously, "What's more, they are a couple who have experienced hardships, and now that life is better, the Chen family categorically has no reason to kill Guo Yi." ”

Song Ming carefully recalled the night he took Guo Yi's relatives into the palace, and said while recalling, "I'm afraid that there is really something wrong with this Chen family, I noticed that her expression was wrong that night, but then because there was no evidence, she is now a widow, so I didn't come to the door again, but I still sent someone to guard outside the Guo family's alley, and someone will come to report to me whenever there is any trouble." ”

As he was talking, he ran in from outside in a hurry, and as soon as he entered the yard, he shouted, "Oh no, master!" Something happened to the Guo family! ”

The people in the house didn't have time to be shocked and quickly opened the door and rushed to the courtyard, but before the little guy could explain too much, he saw that a courtyard not far from the city had already generated smoke, and the little guy ran out of breath, pointing to the place and said anxiously, "Guo, Guo's family!" ”

"Ling Qing, put out the fire!" Duan Jingyi gave an order, and a figure in the dark disappeared in an instant and flew onto the eaves, and on the other side, Song Ming also hurriedly summoned the government soldiers to organize firefighting, and the people here raced against time, but they still couldn't catch up with the speed of the fire over there.

A team of firefighting teams rushed out of the gate of Jingzhaoxi Mansion with buckets and went straight to the fire, but the personnel were large but orderly, and when they arrived, the surrounding people had all been alarmed and spontaneously began to organize firefighting, but the fire was too big to be extinguished for a while, and the courtyard of the Guo family seemed to be drenched with oil, and these things were out of control as soon as they touched the flames.

By the time the fire was extinguished, the Guo family had already burned to the point that only one frame remained.

The surrounding people were exhausted, but the ashes that could be seen at a glance in the courtyard of Guo's house already indicated that no one would survive, and for a while, the whole street was filled with sad voices.

Only the black figure in an alley not far away quietly hooked the corners of his mouth.

Ling Qing secretly summoned another secret guard, and a moment later, a ghostly figure followed behind the black shadow.

"Your Excellency!" The firefighting guards walked around the courtyard of the Guo family and ran out to salute Song Ming respectfully, shaking their heads as they spoke.

Song Ming was shocked in his heart, now that even the two most critical witnesses have died, Li Kang's case is afraid that it will be difficult.

Song Ming waved his hand weakly and sighed, "Let's take care of the aftermath." ”

After saying that, he went back to Jingzhaoxi Mansion alone in frustration, he blamed himself in his heart, on the one hand, because he lost the key certification about Li Kang's case, and on the other hand, what made him even more sad was that he had already thought of sending someone to keep an eye on the Guo family, but he didn't expect that the Chen family and the two would be murdered.

Song Ming looked up at the moon, there were several times in his life when he felt powerless, and this was one of them.

He returned to Jingzhaoxi Mansion as if he had lost his soul, and as soon as he entered the courtyard, he was pulled to the study by Dong Cheng in a hurry, "I saw that the fire had already been extinguished here, why did you come back for so long?" ”

Song Ming's eyes were blank, "I did it wrong." ”

"What's right or wrong, hurry up, I've been waiting for you for a long time!"

Song Ming nodded weakly, it was better for him to personally go to Duan Jingyi to ask for guilt for these things, so he let Dong Cheng pull him to the study in a blink of an eye, as soon as he entered the door, he just knelt down to ask for guilt, and he saw two women sitting in a ball on the chair in the room.

The two of them subconsciously trembled when they saw someone coming in, but who knew that Song Ming also trembled after seeing the faces of the two of them, and Fang Cai's loss and self-blame disappeared in an instant.

"This ...... How so! ”

"Of course it's the prince's credit, don't stand stupidly, come in and close the door!"

The door was slammed shut, and the two who were already scared were even more nervous and didn't dare to look up, Song Ming happily greeted him, "Chen, do you still recognize me?" I brought you into the palace that night! ”

Chen nodded and buried his head lower, Song Ming also knew that they were not lightly frightened, and there were two low pressure big black faces in the house, which scared these two women even more daring to move.

Chen only hugged Guo Ling tightly and protected her in his arms, which has been maintained from the moment he entered the door to the present.

Although Song Ming also felt pity, some things had to be done while the iron was hot to be effective, he slowed down his tone, and his tone became cold unconsciously, "Do you know who wants to harm you?" ”

Chen shook his head desperately.

"Nonsense!" Song Ming shouted, and the two people who were curled up in fright were shocked, "You clearly understand in your hearts that there is something strange about Guo Yi's death in prison, and now someone has come to Guo's house to kill the two of you, do you think you can save Guo Ling in this way?" Those people will never let you live! ”

Chen's tears burst out of her eyes, but she didn't dare to speak or speak, so she could only hold the person in her arms tighter.

Song Ming's voice sank, "Do you know the silver needle behind Guo Yi?" When he finished saying this, Chen was obviously shocked, and immediately shook his head desperately, and Song Ming continued to pry her psychological defense, "Who instructed you to do this?" Do you think we won't know if we don't open our mouths? To tell you the truth, we already have a lot of evidence in this case, and you are also involved in it, if you don't tell the truth again, I will report this matter to Your Majesty, and by then it will be too late for you to open your mouth, and the final outcome is only a dead end. ”

Guo Ling was obviously frightened when she heard the word death, she suddenly broke free from Chen's arms excitedly, and cried loudly, "Sister-in-law is all for me, otherwise she won't ......"

Chen suddenly pulled the person back into his arms in a hurry, covered her mouth nervously, turned his head to Song Ming and cried with tears, "She is still a child and doesn't know anything, and I don't know anything, Guo Yi was killed by Li Kang when he shouted that he was wrongfully imprisoned and died in prison, what do you officials do to force us to do it!" ”

Song Ming was so angry that she didn't want to speak, so he stood up straight, "Do you know who you framed?" Twenty years ago, other countries came to attack, he used his own body to fight against the envoys of the six countries, seventeen years ago, the imperial city case shook the sky, the people did not dare to go day and night, it was he who did not sleep and thoroughly investigated the case and took down the prisoner in one fell swoop. ”

The more Song Ming said, the more excited he became, "In the same year, Li Kang was promoted to the secretary of the criminal department, I thought he would cherish his wings, but he expected that two years later, the hinterland drought and corrupt officials concealed the matter, and the loyal ministers who told the truth bit back, it was he who used his official position to resist the plain clothes of the court, and implored His Majesty not to pay to visit the relatives to see the people's suffering, Li Kang has been an official for many years, and he has always offended countless people with an iron face, and he has been repeatedly threatened with assassination but has not changed his original intention, you have slandered such a loyal and brave person to prison for your own personal feelings, where is your conscience?" Guo Yi has been in the office for many years, abiding by his duty, where is his name? You two little women do not distinguish between good and evil, what is wrong with them? Now you are struggling to survive, but for the rest of your life, will you still have the face to say goodbye to the tens of millions of people who were saved by Li Kang? But I still have the courage to face my heart! ”

As soon as Song Ming threw away the image of a sleek and good old man in the past, his generous statement stirred up Dong Cheng's blood, and he took two steps forward and slapped Song Ming's shoulder heavily, "I really didn't see the wrong person!" ”

Song Ming's remaining anger was still gone, and his heart was still fluttering and jumping in his chest, but Chen was so frightened that he couldn't cry except for covering Guo Ling's mouth tightly.

At this point, everything that should be said has been said, but the seemingly weak Chen is more stubborn than anyone imagined, and she didn't say a word in the middle of the night, and she didn't let Guo Ling speak again.
