Chapter 170: Go hand in hand

The campaign held by Qi Wuju to vote for comics was a success.

It can decide the fate of the protagonist of the manga and the direction of the plot, and this novel form of activity has aroused everyone's interest and made many people participate. The popularity of comics has also risen, and Qi Wuju's business has become more prosperous.

Zhou Jingrong also did what she said, and the comics that were updated later really complied with the results of the vote.

However, because the voting result was in line with her original plan, she didn't bother to make any adjustments.

Zhou Jingrong told Qi Ruyan about the vote and the final result, and Qi Ruyan was very surprised.

Zhou Jingrong explained her in a light tone that saw through the world: "Even if others say something, you don't need to take it to heart, because everyone has their own life to live, and they just have nothing to do and gossip a few words." But in fact, no one cares what happens to you at all, and maybe after a few days, they forget what they once said. So, what's the fear of rumors? Besides, it hasn't happened yet, and you don't know what the future holds, so how can you give up first? ”

Qi Ruyan listened to Zhou Jingrong's words, and fell into deep thought thoughtfully.

Fu Yunshen was not as easy to fool as Qi Ruyan, he asked Zhou Jingrong, "This result is what you expected, right?" You know how everyone would vote for the choice of allowing the plot to continue to develop in order to chase the comics. ”

Zhou Jingrong said indifferently: "It doesn't matter what they are for, anyway, the result is like this, it would be good to be able to comfort Qi Ruyan!" ”

Zhou Jingrong said, turned his head and saw Fu Yunshen looking at her with affection and approval, and suddenly cocked his tail proudly, and boasted to himself: "Are you particularly moved, do you think that your wife is beautiful and kind, and she is simply a little fairy who has fallen into the mortal world?" ”

Fu Yunshen looked at Zhou Jingrong's cute appearance of "Come and praise me", and the smile hidden in her deep eyes was deeper, and she was as kind as a stream: "Well, you are my little fairy." ”

Fu Yunshen was so frank, but it made Zhou Jingrong embarrassed.

Zhou Jingrong's comic career development prospects are very good, and the art gallery that he co-founded with Yu Chirou and Pei Deyin has also opened.

The gallery has just opened, not only is the business very prosperous, but it is sought after by many young people, and it has also recruited many apprentices who have come to learn comics from Zhou Jingrong.

Zhou Jingrong's leap from Mrs. Fu to Mr. Zhou is just a change in title, but the significance of the representation is very significant - her status in this society has been greatly improved.

She no longer needs to be attached to her husband to be recognized and honored like ordinary women, but as an independent career woman, she is respected and respected by her own ability.

Zhou Jingrong is not here when she teaches students to draw comics, she just thinks that she will have an assistant to help her draw comics in the future!

And, no matter what it is, someone can learn it in order to pass it on. Some people recognize and are willing to learn to create comics, and Zhou Jingrong can be regarded as truly introducing and integrating the new form of painting into ancient times, injecting fresh blood into the single and boring literary form here.

In the future, she will not be the only cartoonist here, but there will be many, many cartoonists who will draw all kinds of different cartoons and entertain and educate in an easy-to-understand way.

Perhaps, based on this form, they will also get new inspiration and develop more forms of literary genres.

And those innovative ways and bizarre stories are bound to bring a major change to the literary market of the Xia Dynasty.

While Zhou Jingrong's career is booming, Fu Yunshen's case is also going well.

Fu Yunshen checked the financial situation of the Ling Mansion one by one according to the account book provided by Cheng Zhiling.

Although Ling Xie is very cunning, he records the source and destination of every incoming and outgoing money in the mansion in detail, and it is impossible to see anything from the surface. But as long as he did it, there were always traces and flaws.

Fu Yunshen was not afraid of time-consuming and labor-intensive, summoned a large number of people to work overtime day after day, and verified every payment in and out of the Ling Mansion one by one, and finally caught the loophole.

For example, Ling Xie has a liquor shop, but it is just an empty shell that is put out to make a appearance, there is no production line at all, and no one cares, it should be losing money year after year, but there is always a surplus on the books.

For another example, the Ling family lives a luxurious life, the monthly living expenses are very high, the monthly money of the subordinates is also very rich, and the female dependents are even more spending.

As long as you check a little bit of the bills sent to Ling Mansion every month by major embroidery shops, rouge shops, and jewelry stores, the huge amount makes Ling Xie difficult to explain.

After all, although Ling Xie is in a high position and has some micro-industries in his hands, if he is really honest, he will definitely not be able to support his family with such a luxurious life.

Fu Yunshen found the loophole in the Ling Mansion's finances, so he started from here and dismantled Ling Xie's seemingly strong fortress one by one.

Even if it cannot be confirmed that Ling Xie participated in the assassination incident, he can't escape from the charges of forming a party for personal gain, abusing power for personal gain, and embezzlement of ink.

At the same time, Fu Yunshen took the opportunity of this open investigation of Ling Xie to investigate to the end, and also found out several old cases, all of which were unjust, false and wrongful cases caused by Ling Xie's design to frame loyal ministers in order to crack down on dissidents in the court.

One of the most important and shocking is the embezzlement case of Mrs. Fu and his two sons.

Zhou Jingrong was also surprised when she heard the news.

She had only heard Fu Yunshen say that the court was treacherous, and she thought that the Fu family was defeated in the struggle for power, but she didn't know that they were framed, and the initiator was Ling Xie.

Zhou Jingrong had felt that although Ling Xie and Fu Yunshen were political enemies, it was a little strange to spare such a blow against them, but he didn't expect that there was such a relationship.

Zhou Jingrong asked Fu Yunshen: "Do you already know that Ling Xie framed the Fu family?" ”

Fu Yunshen nodded: "Although the Fu family was defeated, my grandfather still has students and friends in the court, and they told me about this." But after all, there is no real evidence, and I can't take their word for it. Now, I have finally found evidence that Ling Xie framed my grandfather, and I can rehabilitate my grandfather, father, and second uncle. ”

Zhou Jingrong was a little worried: "It's not easy to bring down a powerful minister, are you ready?" ”

Fu Yunshen smiled, his smile was full of confidence, making his whole person look as if he was coated with a layer of soft light, gentle but very firm and powerful: "Ten years of cold window, step by step planning, just for today." You can rest assured, I have made sufficient preparations, and the human and physical evidence are all there. Everything is ready, only the east wind is owed. ”

Zhou Jingrong looked at Fu Yunshen's determined appearance, and also smiled and got into his arms.

No matter what you have to do, I will be there for you.

Late at night, the Royal Palace.

"Qinghua Palace is out of the water!"

With exclamations and footsteps, palace maids, eunuchs, and guards joined the ranks of rescuing the fire with buckets and basins.

The emperor was resting in the empress's dormitory, when he suddenly heard a report outside, and asked impatiently, "What's the matter?" ”

The chief attendant who was serving outside hurriedly walked in and said: "Back to the emperor, it is Qinghua Palace that has gone to water, the fire is not big, and there is nothing to do now." ”

Qinghua Palace is a cold palace, which is where the Ling family lived after being deposed.

The emperor was slightly stunned, and the queen was already anxiously asked, "Are there any casualties?" ”

The chief chamberlain knew that the emperor was concerned about the Ling family, and hurriedly said: "The fire is not big, and it was put out in time, and there were no casualties. However, according to the inspection of the Royal Forest Army, this fire was caused by Ling's use of fire candles to burn curtains. ”

The emperor snorted coldly when she heard this: "If she wants to die, she will die, what is she doing in such a big battle?" Spread my will, give Ling's white silk a piece, doesn't she want to die, I will fulfill her! ”

The queen hurriedly persuaded: "The emperor is angry. ”

The chief chamberlain also said: "Your Majesty, Ling's move is to ask to see the emperor, and he also presented a letter to the emperor...... Book of Blood"

He paused, and then asked, "Does the emperor want to take a look?" ”

The emperor had a look of annoyance on his face, clearly not wanting to pay attention.

The queen persuaded: "Your Majesty, the Ling family must have heard about the five princes and wanted to see you." After all, the Five Princes are the flesh and blood of you and the Ling Clan, and the Five Princes made a big mistake and were punished, so they should be explained to her mother. ”

The emperor was persuaded by the queen's gentle words, and his anger dissipated a lot, thinking of the five princes, his heart was angry and painful, and he sighed: "What the queen said is true." ”

The queen got up and said, "The concubine will accompany the emperor." ”

The emperor held her down: "Deeper exposure, you are so resting, I will go back when I go." ”

When the emperor came to Qinghua Palace, Ling was sitting on the ground leaning on the edge of the bed, she was thin, her eyes were sunken, and her whole person looked lifeless.

When she saw the emperor, she was weak and wanted to stand up, but failed, so she simply crawled to the emperor's feet and pleaded weakly: "Your Majesty, you loved Yu'er the most in the past, why are you willing to exile him to the frontier?" The border is bitterly cold, and he can't stand it. Your Majesty, you don't like Yu'er anymore, don't treat him like this! Let him go to the fiefdom, imprison him, let him pray for the emperor every day, never return to Beijing, he will not die for his crimes! Your Majesty, I beg you, concubine! ”

The emperor looked at the Ling clan like this, and his heart was full of unbearable, but when he thought of what the fifth prince did, he was also heartbroken: "Killing the monarch and killing his father, you still dare to say that he is not guilty of death?" ”

Ling cried and begged: "The concubine is willing to accept it on behalf of the son, I hope the emperor can spare Yu'er!" ”

The Emperor said coldly, "My will will not change, and you don't have to intercede for him anymore. If you are interested, you will live here quietly and for the rest of your life. If you want to die, you can choose the white silk poison wine, and don't mess around again! ”

Ling Shi used all his strength to shout loudly: "Your Majesty, tiger poison does not eat children!" ”

This sentence angered the emperor, and he roared with a gloomy face: "But Zi Poison wants to kill his father!" ”

Ling Shi was speechless, and could only continue to plead, hoping to arouse a trace of pity from the emperor: "Your Majesty, everything is my fault, everything is done by me, and it has nothing to do with Yu'er!" It's me who didn't teach Yu'er well, Yu'er is innocent, please ask the emperor to spare him! ”

The emperor was distraught and did not want to listen to Ling's crying anymore, so he turned around and wanted to leave.

At this time, a little eunuch hurriedly ran in, knelt on the ground and cried: "Your Majesty, the fifth prince set himself on fire and died on the way to exile!" ”

The emperor's body slammed and almost fell, but the eunuch beside him hurriedly stepped forward to support him, and he looked back at Ling with a sad face.

On the contrary, the Ling clan was silent, stunned, unable to come back to his senses for a long time, unable to believe what he had heard.

It wasn't until the emperor walked far away that he heard a cry from the Ling clan suddenly sounding in Qinghua Palace, as if his heart and liver were broken, and he was extremely sad: "Ah! ”
