When the last rays of afterglow disappeared on the horizon, the naughty children were led home by their parents, and when the mouth of the five alleys was gradually shrouded in darkness, Xie Meng, accompanied by Ma Cui, left the wooden house on foot.

said that it was too late, but in fact, it was just to support Xie Meng.

The wooden house returned to its previous silence, Ma Zhengli knelt in the main house, he was over half a hundred years old, and he was gradually showing his old state, and his back was not as good as before.

Ma Zhengli's face was sad, he had only been in Beijing for a few days, but the furrows on his face had been added one after another, and his eyes were all empty and cold.

The moment he saw Xie Meng, he thought that the sky had eyes, and sent his old friend's granddaughter to him, so that he could learn that at least the old friend's family was still fine, and the guilt in his heart could be reduced and lightened.

Xie Meng's family is indeed very good, except that their lives are more bleak than ordinary people, no one can connect them with the events of ten years ago.

Those things have been forgotten by too many people, and all they can remember now are old things that have one foot in the coffin.

People, he saw it, and he knew what he wanted to know, but it was not that the sky had eyes, but Qi Changrong was behind the scenes.

Everything is purposefully arranged, and he is just a pawn at the mercy of others, only to go with the flow, let it go, and cannot resist.

"Your Highness, the Xie family is innocent."

Just when Qi Changrong's patience was about to be declared exhausted, Ma Zhengli finally spoke slowly, and said the first sentence since he saw Qi Changrong today.

"What happened back then, no matter what the truth was, the Xie family was innocent, they never participated, and they didn't know anything."

The royal family is ruthless people, and only ruthless people can sit on the throne, and they can sacrifice everything for their so-called purposes.

Now that the Xie family has been exposed in front of the East Palace, no matter whether the prince will interrogate and investigate the Xie family, Ma Zhengli can't use his old friend's family as a bet on the benevolence of the current prince.

Rather than wait for her to question, it is better to explain everything yourself at the beginning.

Qi Changrong suddenly didn't hear what Ma Zhengli said, and shook the tea in the teacup slightly, letting its dark water surface sparkle.

She said to herself: "When Lone first met Xie Meng, she was invited by the Criminal Department, and her autopsy techniques were sophisticated, which was admired by many people, and she must have been making a living from it all these years. ”

Ma Zhengli's heart sank suddenly, and he almost ran out of breath.

All of this is due to him.

In the past, although the Xie family was not wealthy, and there were no relatives who served as senior officials in the court, they had no worries about food and clothing, and their children were prosperous, and they were also a famous scholarly family.

And now, Xie Meng needs to come out and show his face, not to mention, but also chose that kind of career.

Even though their ancestors made a living from autopsies, no one has chosen to become a puppet again after three generations.

If it wasn't for being forced to do nothing, how could the Xie family agree to Xie Meng......

"In order to support her family, a girl's family did the most unfortunate thing in the eyes of the world, and she admired it in her heart, and she paid more attention to it for a while, but she didn't expect that there was such a connection between her and Master Ma, which really surprised Lonely."

The chaotic thoughts couldn't be sorted out, Ma Zhengli opened his mouth, and said weakly: "Your Highness doesn't have to be like this. ”

Isn't saying all this just to make him feel guilty?

If he was guilty of not being able to live more than ten years ago, how could he wait until now to do that useless struggle.

"A Xie family, still can't let Master Ma speak?"

"The established facts are known to the whole world, and how does Your Highness want me to speak. Besides, will Your Highness believe what I say? Will the whole world believe what I say? ”

Qi Changrong hooked his lips and looked calm: "It depends on what Master Ma plans to say, if what you say is true, why don't you believe it, and why don't people in the world believe it?" ”

This is a never-ending tug-of-war, Ma Zhengli doesn't spit out what Qi Changrong wants to hear for a day, then he can only be controlled by others for a day.

And vice versa, Qi Changrong also fell into a dead end, and in the face of Ma Zhengli's hard mouth, she had nothing to do.

Ma Zhengli lowered his eyes and said dejectedly: "The grass people have nothing to say, Your Highness should not continue to pursue it, the grass people advise His Highness, and if this matter continues to be investigated, it will be of no benefit to anyone." ”

This is a reminder.

Ma Zhengli was reminding Qi Changrong not to investigate any further, it would be no good to continue to investigate, and maybe it would endanger himself and cause unforeseen consequences.

His refusal to cooperate was expected by Qi Changrong, and she was not disappointed when she heard this, but as usual, she said in a calm voice: "Lone will send someone to investigate the Xie family, whether you say it or not, Lone will investigate it clearly, and all the consequences will be borne by Lonely, and I will never regret it." ”

"Even if it angers His Majesty, will it not hesitate?" Ma Zhengli asked.

"Yes."

Qi Changrong once again left disappointed.

Ma Zhengli maintained a kneeling posture, because he had been kneeling for too long, his knees had long been unconscious.

The old man helped him up and sighed: "Why are you stubborn, after many years of the incident, why not tell His Highness the truth?" ”

Ma Zhengli smiled bitterly: "Some things can be said, but some things can't be said, the old man said that I am stubborn, and His Royal Highness is not the same, what else should I check in the past many years, shouldn't I let it disappear with time?" ”

……

The night wind, with a hint of coolness, rolled up the single leaves that fell from the trees and swirled a few times on the ground.

Lanterns on both sides of the street illuminate the bluestone pavement shrouded in darkness, and the two figures are gradually elongated along the street.

Ma Cui lowered his eyes and said to Xie Meng, who was slightly cramped on the side: "After you go back, you don't need to mention us to your parents, we have caused too much trouble to your family." ”

"Where did my aunt say, you and I are friends in the world, and since you left, your parents have been thinking about you very much, but they can't get in touch." Xie Meng hurriedly shook his head, for fear that Ma Cui would take all the blame on her.

She didn't know what happened back then, but she vaguely remembered that because the Xie family and the Ma family were not thoughtful, the reserve of the imperial court was insufficient, and it caused a big disaster.

There are some things that can't be said directly, so Ma Cui had to persuade euphemistically: "The son who went to the wooden house with you today will stay away from her in the future." ”

Xie Meng was puzzled: "Why is this?" Ju'an Gongzi is a rare gentleman. ”

"It's a good gentleman, but she is a gentleman who can only watch from afar, listen to my aunt's words, if you want to keep your family safe, stay away from her, don't get close."

Ma Cui's eyebrows were solemn, and she deliberately accentuated her tone, showing the momentum of an elder for the first time, which was impossible to refuse.

However, having said that, even if Ma Cuiqian told him to keep Xie Meng away from danger, he couldn't resist Qi Changrong's deliberate approach.

When she wanted to find out something, no one could stop her.

The matter was put on hold.

Jiang You has been doing things badly recently, as the wedding date is getting closer and closer, more and more people congratulate him, and his temper is becoming more and more difficult to fathom, and he often gets angry because of a trivial matter, which makes the whole house dare not gasp.

This day happened to be April 29, and it was the day when he asked Junchen for advice on learning martial arts.

Jiang You prepared early, but only got the sentence 'Give up today'.

The existence of Chen Sansi, the third prince of Chen Guo, is no longer a secret, Lenovo recently Chen Sansi stuck to Junchen's side like a dogskin plaster, Jiang You couldn't bear it, and angrily broke into Jun's mansion and confronted Chen Sansi.

"Chen Sansi, as the third prince of Chen Guo, you don't do what you should do as a prince, but stick to General Jun all day long, is it a little unruly?"

"I'm the prince, so naturally I do what I want, so I don't have to talk about rules."

Jiang You was so angry that he almost pointed at someone's nose and scolded.

"Chen Sansi! Most of the outside world say that you are idle and do not do your job. Your own reputation has long been rotten, why do you still bother General Jun, do you know what people outside are saying about the two of you now?! ”

Chen Sansi became interested, supported his chin with one hand and asked, "What did they say?" ”

Jiang You's face turned red, gritted his teeth and said, "They said that you and General Jun have a good habit of breaking your sleeves, Longyang's fetish!" ”

Emperor Jin An handed over the responsibility of leading Chen Sansi to Jun Chen, but Jun Chen was a lazy person, and would rather hide in the Jun Mansion all day than wander around with Chen Sansi aimlessly.

It was just a day or two, but they didn't go out for four or five days, and gradually, rumors spread that they were traveling together in the house.

Jun Chen suddenly looked up at Zhou Shiren, who was there with the old god, and the latter lowered his head and whispered: "There are indeed such rumors, I don't think you care, so I didn't explain it specifically." ”

Chen Sansi was happy, looked at Jiang You's appearance as if he was facing a great enemy, threw a wink at him with a smile, and asked, "Do you think I look like a person with a habit of breaking sleeves?" ”

"Like!" Jiang You nodded violently.

The corners of Chen Sansi's mouth twitched, and his head was full of black lines: "Are you stupid to me?" Don't hug a good delicate beauty, hug that hard, no funny man? ”

Except for some people with special hobbies, people with a discerning eye know how to choose.

There were a few chuckles around the ground, and Chen Sansi followed the voice, and the sight happened to be Zhou Shiren's gloating expression.

Zhou Shiren closed his voice, waved his hand, and said innocently: "Don't care about me, the third prince, please continue." ”

Chen Sansi chuckled twice, shook his head and sighed, how could he continue in the face of Jun Chen's expression as black as the bottom of a pot?

If you continue to talk without interest, it is estimated that you will be waiting for the general's beating in a while.

It's really hard to be addicted to cheapness, in exchange for physical and mental exhaustion.

Jiang You accentuated his tone and reminded again: "Third prince, if you ruin General Jun's reputation, the men, women, and children of the Great Jin Kingdom will not let you go." ”

Hearing this, Chen Sansi glanced at Junchen and said disdainfully: "Where does his reputation need me to destroy?" Does he still have a reputation to ruin? ”

The two of you say a word to me, and neither of them will back down.

Zhou Shiren still couldn't stand it anymore, and made a suggestion: "Why don't the two of you fight, whoever wins will listen to whom?" ”

Jun Chen nodded, and said with a straight face: "This suggestion is very good, General Ben will go to take a nap first, and you will try it yourself." ”
