The place where Wang Ci lives is the best wing room of Baiyun Taoist Temple. The terrain is open and the houses are large, which is most suitable for wealthy idlers like them to come to play and worship with their families.

But what if the family is gone? Wang Ci sat on the soft bed and smiled bleakly. To end his wife's life in an almost cruel way, he did not hesitate, and at that moment, he also thought about stealing her life, but in the end he still choked her neck with his own hands.

The intensity is followed by a long period of calm. Almost at the moment when the third lady's life was cut off, he thought about everything he had to do next, to bury the truth, to block Youyou's mouth.

Step by step, he calmly arranged, hiding a little love and outright hatred in his heart and no longer touching it.

He didn't care about Wang Lin anymore, and it no longer matters whether this child is alive or dead for him now. But recalling the favor he once had for him, Wang Ci still ordered him softly and asked his subordinates to feed him something.

Wang Jin'er sat on the small bed not far from him, listening to his arrangements one by one with an indifferent face, she wrapped her hands around her knees, rested her head lightly, and stared at a place in the void.

In the past, she was desperate to get her father's gaze, hoping to hear her father's cheers when she was bullied by her stepmother, but now she seems to be begging for mercy, and her annoying brother is hanging on the beam of the house and does not know whether he is alive or dead, even if he is rescued, he will no longer be favored by his father, and the stepmother who wants to kill has also been killed by the person she loves.

But she couldn't be happier. She deceived everyone, deceived Qiaozhi and Bai Jane who really helped her, and won everything now with the courage to break the boat. She thought she wouldn't regret it. But after she really had it, she found that these were far less beautiful than she imagined.

She jumped out of bed, glanced at the position of the small bed with some nostalgia, and then gently walked to Wang Ci's side, closed her eyes, brought out an uneasy face, grabbed Wang Ci's clothes, and called softly: "Daddy." ”

"Huh?" Wang Ci was awakened and looked down at this daughter whom he had neglected for a long time, and now his only relative.

He tentatively wanted to touch the top of Jin'er's head, but his broad palm stopped on the top of Jin'er's head, and when he saw that she had no intention of refusing, he put it up. Wang Ci looked at Jin'er's mottled face with some apologies, and all his love for Wang Lin in the past was transferred to Jin'er: "I've suffered you all these years, but my father can't stand you." ”

The girl's round eyes were covered with a layer of water, and in the blink of an eye, they turned into water droplets and rolled down. "Dad..." she choked and threw herself into Wang Ci's arms, as if she had countless grievances to confide in him, but in the end, only one sentence was left to choke.

Wang Ci gently patted Jin'er's thin back, silently comforting. However, behind his invisible, Jin'er's expression was indifferent, no different from the look he had when he watched the cuckold farce before.

"Daddy." She broke free from Wang Ci's comfort, with a slight shyness, as if she was not used to such intimate comfort, "I want to meet my brothers and sisters who sent me up the mountain, thank them for helping me." ”

"Hmm. Good. Wang Ci agreed almost without hesitation, and he himself had this meaning, and he was worried about what excuse to use to find them. The matter of the third lady has been resolved, and the aftermath work has been arranged, and all that is left is ...

He called Shen Yashi and asked him to invite Bai Jian Qiaozhi and the others.

At this time, Qiaozhi, who was walking on the road, was thinking quickly about the purpose of this "Hongmen Banquet". Is it a warning? After all, the county commander's wife is a bandit, but it is not a trivial matter, and if you don't get it right, you will lose your head.

Still is... Qiao Zhi swallowed his saliva, and quietly glanced at Shen Yashi, who was striding forward without even looking back. Thinking of Wang Ci's ruthlessness when he strangled the third lady, Qiaozhi's gaze floated for a moment, should it be... It's to kill people, right? After all, only the dead can keep secrets.

It's too hard for me, isn't it? Qiaozhi wept silently. It wasn't until she walked to the wing where Wang Ci was and saw Jin'er standing at the door to greet them that she was relieved.

Jin'er wrapped around Qiaozhi's arm quite affectionately, as if there had never been deception and estrangement between them. Qiaozhi looked at Jin'er's arm holding her, but in the end she didn't say anything, lowered her eyes, and walked in with Jin'er.

After entering the wing, Qiaozhi saw six or seven dishes on the table in the middle, which were not expensive, just ordinary side dishes. In the middle of the table, there is also a small porcelain bottle of wine.

Xu is Qiaozhi's expression staring at the wine and food was too tragic, Wang Ci hesitated and arched his hand: "There are only these coarse tea and light rice on the mountain, and I hope that Bai Gongzi and the girl will not dislike it." When there is time after going down the mountain, Wang will re-entertain the two of them in the largest restaurant in Yanling. After speaking, he pulled out his chair and invited Bai Jian and the two to sit down.

Qiaozhi nodded heavily and sat beside Bai Jian with a sad and indignant expression. Forget about the Hongmen Banquet, so it's worthy of the dishes of the Hongmen Banquet on the hour, right? This is too perfunctory!

The chances of being killed are not very high, but what if! She couldn't even eat the last supper, it was really miserable!

Bai Jian silently looked at the pretty branch that wrote everything on her face, moved her ass quietly, and sat away from her.

Fortunately, Qiaozhi's worry did not last long, and as soon as the banquet began, Wang Ci explained the purpose of inviting them over for dinner.

first thanked them for taking care of Jin'er for the past few days, and then vaguely reprimanded the absurd self who once didn't care about family affairs and allowed his stepmother to bully his eldest daughter. Then Wang Cicai brought the topic to the real theme of the meal.

"What do you mean... Want to leave Wang Lone on the mountain? Taking a sip of wine, Bai Jian asked.

"If you have somewhere else and better." Wang Ci took a sip of food, and a glimmer of light burst out of his eyes, "Wang Lin is not my child, you know this." I can't take him down the mountain anymore. ”

"I'm just an idler." Bai Jian paused, but still refused, "I can't bring Wang Lin back to the Bai family." ”

"Then let him be an idle Taoist priest on the mountain." Wang Ci poured Bai Jian's wine, and seemed to be very satisfied with his answer, "That kid has a bad temper, and it is better to be a monk to temper his heart." ”

Why is your temper so bad, don't you have any points in your heart? Who is used to it... Qiaozhi didn't dare to say this, but dared to complain silently in her heart.

"Then Daddy will put my brother down... Don't let him hang on it. Jin'er was silently chopping rice on the side, and when she heard Wang Ci say this, she finally couldn't help but speak, "My brother is still young, Daddy, you can spare him." What the stepmother did had nothing to do with the younger brother. ”

When Wang Ci heard her say this, his expression relaxed. But almost in the next second, he saw the mottled scars on Jin'er's pale little face. His gaze became firm again, he flicked his sleeves and said softly: "You don't have a younger brother." You don't have to intercede for him. ”

Seeing Wang Ci say this, Jin'er pursed her lips and didn't continue to speak.

Wang Li's matter is solved, and the next thing is the matter of the third lady.

Wang Ci didn't know that Bai Jian and the others already knew about the third lady's gangsters and the fact that they killed the third lady with their own hands, but the third lady died not long after he entered the firewood room, and committed suicide in fear of crime... He estimated that they would not believe Bai Jian.

And so it is. I heard Wang Ci mention the cause of death of the third lady. Bai Jian turned the wine glass, did not say that he listened to the corner, only asked questions.

Wang Ci pondered for a moment before he slowly spoke: "I was coaxed by this poisonous woman before and snubbed Jin'er for a long time. I wanted to leave her cheap life and wait until she went back, but who knows..."Speaking of this, Wang Ci closed his eyes and looked sad, "That poisonous woman actually wanted to take Wang Lin to die in the firewood room... Although Wang Lin is not my biological son, he has been with me for so long, I can't hold back for a while, just..."

"Just killed the third lady by mistake?" Qiaozhi made up for him, and only after saying it did he find that he was a little speechless. She didn't know the cause of the third lady's death, how could she directly conclude that Wang Ci killed the third lady? Qiaozhi took a deep breath and pretended to be calm, shouldn't she be suspicious?

Fortunately, Wang Ci didn't care, he shook his head and pretended to be dazed: "How could the girl think so?" Could it be that Wang's previous methods were too tough? That's not because of me..."Wang Ci lowered his head and made a sad look, "Although she has lost me and had affairs with other people, I can't bear to be in the same bed for ten years..."

"I couldn't hold back for a while, so I told the official to discipline her well, and it was best to give her some hardship." Wang Ci thumped his chest in annoyance, "But I didn't expect her... Just turned his head and hit the wall... Coupled with the previous frightened and interrogated by the officials, she went straight to that..."With tears shining in her eyes, Wang Ci lowered her head and took a sip of wine.

Officialdom really lies, and they don't even make drafts. If it weren't for Qiaozhi eavesdropping on the corner, he would definitely be moved by Wang Ci's green hat spirit at this time. Alas, the ancients were really cold and tight...

Although I sigh like this, I still have to do what I should do. Qiaozhi pretended to comfort Wang Ci a few words, and Wang Ci also ended the topic of the third lady, and mentioned that after taking Jin'er down the mountain tomorrow, several people concentrated on eating, and there was nothing to say.

After eating, Bai Jian and Qiaozhi got up to say goodbye, and Wang Ci didn't do much to keep it. However, Jin'er said that she would go back with Qiaozhi for the last night.

It was already late, and when I returned to the house, Qiaozhi and Jin'er said a few words, and then I couldn't resist falling asleep.

I don't know how long later, a cicada chirped outside the house. Hearing this cicada, Jin'er in the dark opened her eyes and slowly got up and went out.

After about half a cup of tea, Jin'er returned. Candles burned in the room, and the dim light shone on the pretty face.

"Sister, did you hear it all?" Jin'er stood in the darkness and turned her face away.

Qiaozhi nodded, and said in a complicated tone: "Jin'er." You're really scheming.. You put us.. It's all deceived. ”

Maybe it was because she was frightened too much during the day, and she didn't sleep well. As soon as Jin'er pushed the door open, she also woke up. Then, she heard the voices of Shen Yashi and Li Bo.

After listening to the whole conversation, she realized that she and Bai Jian had been deceived. Wang Jin'er made a bitter trick, and the participants were Li Bo and Shen Yayi. Li Bo is a double agent, pretending to be obedient to the third lady, but secretly helping Jin'er, it is true that his face was scratched by Li Bo, but this is just one step of Jin'er's bitter plan.

Only if Wang Ci thinks that Li Bo was bought by the third lady, can the cuckold incident that broke out later be credible. And Shen Yashi told the third lady that only by first telling the story of the bandits, and then concealing the love history, could she seek the forgiveness of the king.

Therefore, Shen Yashi is also one of the accomplices in the murder of the third lady.

From beginning to end, although there is a disconnect, the development of the whole situation follows the script arranged by Jin'er.

"Wang Lone... Is it the king's own son? That's all she wanted to ask.

"Yes and no, does it matter?" Jin'er smiled sarcastically, "Yes or no, it all depends on whether Daddy believes it or not." ”

"The blood test is also the ghost of you and Shen Yazhi, right?"

"Hmm."

"Okay." Qiaozhi closed her eyes, "One last question, why are you letting me know this?" "Jin'er can obviously not live with her, then she won't know these things.
