Everyone glanced at each other, and then they all went out one after another.

They discussed it, and some of them went down the trail, and some of them took the big road.

In order not to attract attention, they all parked the carriage in a hidden place, walked one after another, and entered the governor's mansion through the front and rear doors respectively.

Because they were all people with status, and it was this time again, the door let them all in.

Ke Duwei and the county lord of Jingyi were a little flustered when they learned that so many people had come at once.

The county lord of Jingyi said to Ke Duwei: "I said, since they are here, it must be that Jing Zhaoyin didn't ask why. I guessed he couldn't! I think they must have come to confront us face to face, and let's not pretend to mumble, just ask whatever we need to ask. ”

Ke Duwei was in a difficult position, and asked, "Then what should we ask?" ”

The county lord of Jingyi furrowed his eyebrows, "I'll ask, you can just add it." ”

The two of them summed up and went to the hall together.

The county lord of Jingyi walked in front with a slightly cold face, and after taking a seat in the main seat with Ke Duwei, he said to everyone: "All the lords and ladies, please sit down, you are here late at night, you don't need me to say more, we all understand in our hearts." ”

Wei Kang spoke first, "Captain Ke, Jingyi County Lord, we have all heard about Gongzi Ke. We are all shocked that something happened to him, and we understand how you feel as parents. But let's talk about the ugly things to the front, we will definitely not admit what we haven't done, even if you husband and wife love your son, you can't bend us into a trick. ”

When the county lord of Jingyi heard his words, he showed an unpredictable smile, "Lord Wei is really joking, how dare we husband and wife bend to all the nobles." We just have a few words for you. ”

Everyone was silent, waiting for the Jingyi County Lord to ask.

The county lord of Jingyi calmly looked around at the crowd, and then asked, "May I ask you, where were all of you when my son had an accident yesterday?" Do what? Can there be witnesses? ”

Everyone was silent for a moment, and it was Wei Kang who spoke first.

"I'm naturally busy in the military department, if you have any doubts, you can go to the military department to ask. As for my wife, she had returned to her parents' house a few days earlier, so you can go and check it out. ”

Lu Changzhi then said: "I have been busy in the household department before I released the government yesterday, and I also have many colleagues to testify. As for my wife, she was unwell and bedridden, and Captain Ke and the county lord could have sent someone to my house to ask someone for questioning. ”

The others also told their whereabouts one by one, and said that everyone had an alibi for a long time.

The county lord of Jingyi lowered his eyelids helplessly, and quickly said, "Even if you are not present, you can instruct people to do this." My son has indeed been abducted and contaminated with some bad problems, and I have beaten and scolded Du Wei, but I have never been able to control him. In fact, this time also gave him a lesson, and his problems will definitely be changed. ”

Having said this, the tone of the county lord of Jingyi became more gentle, and he looked at the tears in everyone's eyes and said: "Actually, I am indeed angry when I called everyone here, but I also figured it out, and I am more grateful now." If my son can change his mind from now on, I will consider the one who taught my son as a benefactor. ”

Ke Yao added at this time: "That's right, that's what our husband and wife think. My son just didn't clean up. But as the saying goes, 'tiger poison does not eat children', the two of us can't be ruthless, but since someone helped us teach our son a lesson, he is our benefactor. Ladies and gentlemen, don't be embarrassed, just admit what you have done. We promise not only not to pursue this matter, but also to personally set up a banquet to thank the benefactor! ”

But only a fool would believe the nonsense of the couple of them.

The county lord of Jingyi suddenly stood up and said to everyone: "I know, in the past, I had no one in my eyes, and I was unreasonable, and I don't know how many people I offended. I apologize to you today for your sins, and please forgive me, and don't be like me. ”

After speaking, the county lord of Jingyi knelt on the ground.

"Oh, the county lord, please get up!" Jing Zhaoyin hurriedly bent down to help her.

The county lord of Jingyi pushed him away and insisted: "Don't help me, let me make amends for them!" ”

With a "plop", Ke Duwei also knelt down.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we husband and wife really want you to apologize, let's settle it, right? If we husband and wife repent, and we hold grudges against those who taught my son, we will become cattle and horses in the next life for you to call on! ”

Jing Zhaoyin hurriedly went to help Ke Duwei again, "Ke Duwei, get up quickly!" ”

Everyone saw that the husband and wife could make amends to them for their son's sake, and they all showed surprised looks.

Nor could they see the two of them kneeling down to them, and they came up to help them.

Lu Changzhi said this time: "We don't care about what the county lord and the lieutenant did in the past. But this is really not what we did, even if you two can't kneel here, or if we kneel in front of each other for a night, you can't make us admit what we haven't done, right? Get up, all of you. I'll be fair, I don't think the people who taught Ke Gongzi are among us. ”

Wei Kang echoed: "Yes! I think so too. Jingyi County Lord, Ke Duwei, you still don't waste your efforts on us. You should ask people again, and when you find a solid clue, you should ask them for questioning. The war in the south is urgent, and I have to hold a meeting with the military department with all the adults, and I may have to go to the palace once. If the state comes first, I will not accompany you. ”

Wei Kang already has his own majesty, and now he has moved out of the war, who dares to delay his time because of this little thing?

If the military plane is delayed, no one dares to stretch their necks in front of the emperor to be responsible.

"Master Wei, you go slowly." Ke Duwei stood up and said with a smile.

The county lord of Jingyi was also helped up, but she didn't say anything.

But as soon as Wei Kang left, everyone also talked about it, and no one wanted to stay here.

Lu Changzhi bowed his hand to the county lord of Jingyi and Ke Duwei: "My wife is still sick and needs to be taken care of, and it is already late at night, and the lower officials have also taken their leave." ”

Without waiting for the two of them to say anything, Lu Changzhi also walked out.

Soon the room was gone.

Only Jing Zhaoyin didn't leave, and stood there without saying a word with a sad face.

The county lord of Jingyi hated these people so much, but she could only be helpless, who let her have no conclusive evidence?

And she said before that she was just looking for these people to talk, but now that the words are finished, there is no reason to force people to stay.

Jing Zhaoyin lowered his head and said stubbornly: "Ke Duwei, county lord, you two have to be patient in this matter!" I've already asked people to check, and in three to five days, I'll definitely find some clues. ”

The county lord of Jingyi looked at him angrily, and said helplessly: "Fortunately, Lord Jiang is today." It's up to you. I'm sorry for you to bother, if the real culprit is found, Captain Du and I will definitely not treat you badly. ”

"Yes, the subordinate obeys the order!" Jing Zhaoyin said that he was finally able to leave.

Everyone left, and the county lord of Jingyi smashed a tea bowl in anger and returned to the room in a huff.

Ke Duwei could only sigh and pin his hopes on Jing Zhaoyin.

When Lu Changzhi returned home, he hurriedly told Mrs. Lu and Lu Qianying what he had experienced, and Lu Qianying gloated and said: "This is all retribution, this time I think the county lord of Jingyi will dare to see no one in his eyes?" If I had known who had done this, I would have thanked him! ”

Mrs. Lu sneered, "Heh, I think they can't find this person." Not only do the old ones offend too many people, but the small ones are also notorious! Jing Zhaoyin just dealt with them first, how could he have the effort to delay? I think it's harder to find the real culprit than to climb to the sky! ”

Lu Changzhi breathed a sigh of relief, "Okay, anyway, this matter has nothing to do with us, since I went to the Duwei Mansion today, no one will want to come to our family for questioning in the future." Let's just eat melons and watch the excitement. ”

Jing Zhaoyin is indeed the same as Lu Changzhi said, he has a lot of official affairs to deal with every day, and he really doesn't have the heart to spend his energy on such a trivial matter.

A few days later, he sent someone to tell the county lord of Jingyi and Ke Duwei, saying that the imperial court had recently arrested an important Qin criminal, and Jing Zhaoyin's officials and arresters were busy with this matter, and they did not dare to delay the delivery to the emperor, so Ke Gongzi's affairs had to be slowed down first.

Hearing this news, the county lord of Jingyi and Ke Duwei both dared to be angry but did not dare to speak, such an ugly thing happened at home, she actually did not dare to bother the Queen Mother, let alone bother the King Xiao who was already sick in bed.

The county lord of Jingyi had no choice but to let his family look for clues.

Ke Yao's body has recovered well in the past few days, but he is still scared when he sees a woman.

The county lord of Jingyi wanted to go to the Taoist temple to ask for a talisman to come back, and she was just about to go out when it was close to noon that day, and a housekeeper who guarded the door hurriedly took something to report.

"County Lord, someone threw this at the back door, please take a look at it!"

What Jia Ding presented was a burned and broken painting scroll, and the county lord of Jingyi immediately took over the painting scroll.

When she unfolded the scroll and saw the mutilated half of the painting, her scalp was numb.

This is a picture of a lady, but the maid's face was burned to only half of it, and the lady's body was in a miserable state of broken stomach.

The county lord of Jingyi remembered, this was one of those paintings that frightened Ke Yao.

Thinking of her son Jingyi, the county lord was not afraid, she felt that this painting was too strange, since someone threw this painting at the door of her house, it would definitely not be so simple.

She began to examine the painting carefully, and this time it didn't disappoint her.

It has been several days since Ke Yao's incident, and Mrs. Lu has forgotten about it, she was leisurely watering the flowers in the garden, when she suddenly heard someone hurriedly buttoning the door knocker.

Mrs. Lu raised her head impatiently, "Who is it?" So ignorant of the rules? ”

Menzi soon came to report, "Madam, the county lord of Jingyi is here." ”
