Zhao Qingfeng woke up from his memories in an instant, and hurriedly stepped forward to shake Qingpei's hand: "Are you okay?" ”

He checked back and forth, for fear that the jade hands would be cut by the broken strings.

"I'm sorry, I'm intoxicated for a while." Zhao Qingfeng apologized to Qingpei.

Qing Pei didn't care about this at the moment, she saw tears in her eyes, and she choked up for a long time before she spoke: "How affectionate the young man is, the slave family is young, and he would rather be in the dust." ”

These familiar words seemed to have been floating in Zhao Qingfeng's ears with the wind and rain of the rivers and lakes for two years, and he only heard them vividly today.

"Do you remember?" / "You're the man?" Zhao Qingfeng and Qing Pei opened their mouths in unison, and then they were surprised and surprised.

After being silent for a long time, Qing Pei spoke: "At that time, I was the first Oiran, and everyone praised me for my beauty, but no one was drunk with the sound of the piano. ”

The person Qing Pei said was Zhao Qingfeng, who asked her to marry in the past, and as for the meaning of her song, it was indeed as he said back then, but he was unwilling to be dusty and wanted to find a soulmate.

But Zhao Qingfeng smiled bitterly: "But you were a man at that time, and one day you would lose your wealth, which really made me unwilling." ”

"So you disappeared for two years?" Qing Pei asked rhetorically.

Zhao Qingfeng nodded: "I just want to prove to you that I am different from those men in your mouth, and I will only marry you when I return to my hometown one day." ”

After speaking, he showed sadness in vain: "It's a pity, it's a pity that when I return to Wangchun Tower after two years, it is already a matter of fact." ”

Zhao Qingfeng's words, Qingpei didn't have to think about it to know that it must be related to Lu Xuan.

She didn't deliberately shy away from it, and then spoke: "Yes, when I met Lord Lu later, she was also different from those men who were obsessed with skin, and only talked to me about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry and songs, as if she had never regarded me as a dusty woman. ”

"So you're attracted to her?" Zhao Qingfeng asked with regret and sorrow.

Qing Pei nodded immediately: "I was tempted, but it was the falling flowers who were ruthless." ”

Zhao Qingfeng burst into tears when he heard this, and his heart was desperate: "Actually, if you are still attached to her, I can let you ......"

"I waited for you!" Zhao Qingfeng was halfway through his sentence when he was suddenly interrupted by Qing Pei.

He raised his eyes in astonishment, almost doubting his ears: "What did you say?" ”

Qing Pei lowered his voice and repeated again: "I waited for you, and I really had doubts about what I said to you two years ago, but I have been waiting for you since that day, waiting for someone who keeps saying that he will not be negative." ”

However, she didn't wait, and after waiting for two years, that person never appeared by her side again, which made her even more convinced that the words of men in the world could not be trusted.

Zhao Qingfeng couldn't help but feel guilty when he heard this, and Qing Pei continued:

"Later, when Lord Lu saw me, her eyes were as clear as you were at the beginning, and at first I resisted, thinking that she would disappear again like you, but she didn't, but saved me from fire and water many times."

Qingpei said that, Zhao Qingfeng knew that there was no human intervention in this relationship from beginning to end, and it was all his own youth and vigor that he gave up.

After being silent for a long time, Zhao Qingfeng spoke: "Are you willing to believe me again?" ”

Qing Pei smiled: "Brother Zhao didn't break his promise, how can you believe it again?" ”

Yes, he didn't break his promise, and after he became famous, he redeemed himself for Qingpei and married her, although the process was quite tortuous, but fortunately it was the result of his personal promise.

Zhao Qingfeng was full of emotion, until Qing Pei raised his eyes to look at him: "For the rest of my life, please fulfill your promise and only love Qing Pei." ”

Hearing this, Zhao Qingfeng was instantly dumbfounded: "Qingpei, what did you call me?" ”

Qing Pei raised his lips and smiled: "Zhao Gongzi, come and don't be rude, I call you a husband, how can you still call me Qing Pei?" ”

At this time, Zhao Qingfeng heard it very clearly, and hurriedly hugged Qing Pei and called countless "lady", and something in his chest almost jumped out in joy.

The husband and wife clarified all the misunderstandings, and Zhao Qingfeng recalled how ridiculous his behavior was in the past few days.

After thinking for a while, he immediately spoke to Qing Pei in his arms: "Lady, I heard that Lord Lu is in trouble in this case, right?" ”

Qing Pei nodded: "I just heard from the officials that Jia Dafu was proved by the villagers, saying that it was a misunderstanding before, and the villagers praised him as a kind person." ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Qingfeng wondered: "Lady, do you remember that I said that there was not only one person who kidnapped Lord Lu yesterday?" ”

Zhao Qingfeng did say this before, but Qingpei was concerned about Lu Xuan at the time, and he always regarded him as an excuse to shirk.

But Zhao Qingfeng didn't lie at all, he immediately said: "It seemed that Jia Dafu seemed to have a bit of power that day, but when we rushed to his house, it was dilapidated, I really couldn't figure it out." ”

"What does Xianggong mean is that he knew early on that Lord Lu was suspicious of him, so he deliberately pretended to be poor to confuse the public and defend himself?" Qing Pei guessed.

Zhao Qingfeng also nodded: "This matter is indeed quite suspicious, I'm afraid that Lord Lu doesn't fully believe that Jia Dafu is innocent." ”

"But if you can't find any evidence, you can only stop there." Qing Pei was a little worried.

Zhao Qingfeng thought that this matter could be solved: "If he really embezzles the people's fat and people's ointment, there must be traces to follow, and I have some friends in the rivers and lakes, maybe I can find out about this matter." ”

After Zhao Qingfeng's words, Qing Pei was both happy and grateful in his heart, and then asked him to let go and investigate.

On Lu Xuan's side, seeing that there had been no progress in the past two days, Gu Huanli was busy dealing with the corruption and bribery of Shangshu in the Ministry of War, and she did not go to bother her.

Lu Xuan was anxious, but he waited for Zhao Qingfeng and Qingpei and his wife.

"Brother Zhao, Qing Pei? Didn't you go to the main city of Jiangnan? Lu Xuan looked at the two of them in surprise.

Qing Pei smiled at this time: "Xianggong wants to find out the case of Jia Dafu for the adults before leaving, so he delayed here for a few days. ”

Hearing this, Lu Xuan didn't pay attention to the facts of the case, but saw that Qingpei and Zhao Qingfeng were in love, and the relationship seemed to be much better than before, so he couldn't help but feel relieved.

Zhao Qingfeng immediately stepped forward: "Zhao was suspicious of this matter, and asked his friends in the rivers and lakes to investigate, Jia Dafu has a water building in the main city of Jiangnan, which is worth a thousand gold. ”

"What? Daughter? Lu Xuan was dumbfounded for a while, the head of a small village could not save such a large fortune even if he was thrifty for eight lifetimes, what is it if it is not corruption?

Seeing Lu Xuan's look of disbelief, Zhao Qingfeng immediately took out the voucher: "This is the voucher of the transaction between the original owner and Jia Dafu, and his name is clearly written on it." ”

Lu Xuan took the voucher, and there was no doubt that he was indeed Jia Dafu.

"But if he really oppressed the people so much, then why did the villagers intercede for him that day?" Lu Xuan was puzzled.

I heard the deep voice behind me: "It seems that it is not difficult for a man full of evil to threaten a group of helpless peasants. ”

Lu Xuan turned around when he heard this: "Your Highness? What are you doing here. ”

"If this king doesn't come, do you plan to stay alone in the room and meditate?" There was a bit of reproach in Gu Huanli's words, but the expression on his face was as gentle as the wind.

Qing Pei and Zhao Qingfeng already knew Gu Huanli's identity, so they naturally didn't dare to trespass at this time, and hurriedly saluted him.

Only Lu Xuan seems to be used to being outspoken these days, and he didn't remember these red tapes for a while.

Fortunately, Gu Huanli didn't mind, so he immediately waived the other two and continued to speak to Lu Xuan.

"This king has ordered someone to find out, Jia Dafu has restrained the young son of the peasant family under the pretext of studying all these years, and they naturally dare not resist easily." Gu Huanli said.

Only then did Lu Xuan understand the real reason for the inconsistency of the villagers' calibers: "It's simply hateful. ”

After calming down and seeing Gu Huanli coming here suddenly, he must have just sent her a message, Lu Xuan asked again: "Then His Highness has come this time, but he has already relieved the peasants' difficulties?" ”

Gu Huanli nodded: "Those children have already been taken to a safe place by Qin Xiao, as for Jia Dafu, this king thinks that it is more appropriate for Lu County to personally deal with it." ”

Seeing that Gu Huanli had already cleared his worries, Lu Xuan ordered the officials to arrest Jia Dafu without saying a word.

At that time, Jia Dafu was still complacent and thought that he had escaped, and even had a little disdain for Lu Xuan and Gu Huanli in his heart.

But before he could be proud for a while, he was arrested by the county government and quickly came to the door.

Without saying a word, he escorted Jia Dafu to Lu Xuan, but he was still kept in the dark.

"Lord Lu is so dignified and what are you doing to arrest me?" Jia Dafu pretended to look innocent.

Lu Xuan turned a blind eye: "This official will give you another chance, how much have you taken from the peasants?" ”

Hearing this, Jia Dafu immediately denied it without changing his face: "Lord Lu was wronged, didn't I see how close I was to the villagers and Lord Lu that day?" The villagers even interceded for me, would they be partial to their enemies? ”

Jia Dafu was resonating with words, only to hear a terrifying voice suddenly sounding behind him: "Are you sure you don't even cherish the last chance?" ”

Jia Dafu turned back slowly tentatively, and the moment he met the pair of Ling eyes, he instantly sat down on the ground, and was stunned for a long time before kneeling down: "Ginseng, see His Royal Highness the Fierce King." ”

Gu Huanli didn't appreciate it either, and then sat down to the side without saying anything, but it was enough to make Jia Dafu panic.

Seeing that Gu Huanli's appearance was more deterrent, Lu Xuan simply "took advantage of the fire to rob".

"Say, how many hurtful things have you done to those villagers!" Lu Xuan scolded angrily.

Although Jia Dafu was unwilling to accept his fate, seeing that Gu Huanli was sitting one step away from him, how could he dare to deny it again?

He hurriedly kowtowed to Lu Xuan a few times: "The villain knows his mistakes, the villain is insatiable, and the adults spare their lives, and the villain will definitely change his past mistakes in the future and never dare to do anything wrong." ”

Jia Dafu is admitting his crime? If this is the case, it is absolutely impossible for him to expect to be forgiven by Lu Xuan.
