King Du wanted to investigate the old case of the Su family, and the two secretly analyzed and investigated all the clues, and finally set their sights on the case of the Tang family.

Tang Xingwu was stunning, talented, was personally raised by the emperor back then, and as soon as he took office, he took on the accusation of the prince and young master, although he had no real power, he was indeed a real nobleman, and the son of heaven was close to him. After the funeral of the first emperor, Tang Xingwu was not as important as before, but he also had a very strong voice in the court.

However, three or four years ago, when King Du went to Chaozhou to quell the turmoil, Tang Xingwu was charged with deducting military salaries without warning, and his family was finally convicted. When Yang Zheng returned to Beijing, the Tang family's case had already been settled, and the beheadings were beheaded, and the distribution was distributed.

It is worth noting that before Tang Xingwu got involved in this incident, he seemed to have been paying attention to the Su family's corruption of ink back then, and there were many files related to this time in the family.

Ji Erlan felt that this matter was full of suspicions, and there must be an inside story. With Tang Xingwu's closeness to the former emperor, it should also be investigated. So she thought of the Tang Nian beside her who didn't know whether it was true or not.

When Tang Nian heard Ji Erlan's question, his face was slightly stunned, and he said after a while: "Why does the girl want to know these things? ”

Ji Erlan put his elbows on his cheeks and looked at Tang Nian for a long time: "I am your master, I will ask, you will answer, why do you need to say more." ”

Hearing this, Tang Nian stopped struggling, lowered his head and was silent for a moment, and said, "I don't know what the girl wants to know?" The slave and maid tried to remember as carefully as possible. ”

"When the Tang family had an accident, you were almost fourteen years old, and as the daughter of a courtier, you must have enough understanding of some things." Ji Erlan said this to guide Tang Nian and make her think that it is normal for the daughter of a courtier to pay more attention to her father's affairs in the officialdom. In reality, however, a young boudoir woman is rarely interested in these. However, Ji Erlan can only try to guide like this. "I want to know, before Lord Tang was convicted, did there be any changes or abnormalities in the people he socialized with on weekdays?"

Tang Nian guessed in his heart, could it be that Ji Erlan wanted to help the Tang family overturn the case? But what does the Tang family have to do with her?! Tang Nian thought for a moment and said: "My father is very busy on weekdays, and he has limited time to get together with our sisters and talk, but I am a young daughter, and my father dotes on me very much, and often calls me to the study, and when he is dealing with official business, I practice calligraphy on the side. But he doesn't talk to me about business, and I don't know much about it. ”

"So, your words are pointed out by Lord Tang himself?"

Tang Nian was interrupted by her, his thoughts were confused, and he said after a while: "The slave maid is at fault, so she was immersed in her memories and didn't hear the girl's question clearly." ”

Ji Erlan looked at her thoughtfully, and said, "I'm asking, before Lord Tang was convicted, did the people he usually socialize with change or abnormality?" ”

Tang Nian continued: "Before the Tang family's accident, my father no longer called me to the study, and there were a lot fewer times when our sisters and even my mother met him, and my father buried his head in the study all day and didn't know what he was busy with...... As for who he's seen, he doesn't pay much attention to it, after all, my sisters and I spend a lot of time in the backyard. ”

Ji Erlan asked many questions one after another, and Tang Nian was basically able to answer them one by one very naturally and appropriately. Ji Erlan thought for a moment, then said, "Tang Nian, do you want to overturn the case for the Tang family?" ”

Tang Nian was shocked in his heart, and only said after a while: "Of course the slave maid wants to, but this was secretly decided by the Queen Mother herself...... Could it be, is there really something inside it? Tang Nian had tears in his eyes and said: "If you can help your family settle your grievances, the slave and maid will naturally die, but the slave and maid do not have this ability......"

Ji Erlan said: "You are Tang Nian, you are Tang Xingwu's daughter, you should do your best to make some efforts for the name of your father." ”

Tang Nianne said: "The girl means ......"

Ji Erlan said: "You don't have to ask too much, when the time comes, I will naturally let you do what you have to do." You go down first. ”

Tang Nian was full of uneasiness and doubts, and obediently answered and withdrew from the door. The gardenias in the yard were moistened by the raindrops, and they became more and more white and tender, but she had no intention of appreciating them. What the hell are you going to do, Jirlan!

Inside, Twilight asked curiously, "Girl?" Do you see the truth or the fake? Is she really Tang Nian? ”

Ji Erlan pondered for a moment and said, "Twilight, can you still remember what happened at home three or four years ago? ”

Twilight said bitterly, "It's true that the slave was still at home at that time, and she didn't sell herself into slavery, but I can only remember that I often starved, day after day, just thinking about how I could have more to eat...... I have almost no memory of what happened, but what can it be? It's just a daily chore. ”

She paused, her eyes a little wandering: "The only thing that I remember is particularly deep and I can't forget it in my life." It was the Chaozhou chaos, everyone desperately fled to other places, and my mother and I were separated from the others, so we could only follow other homeless people all the way. When I finally got to safety, my mother died, and within a few days, I was abducted and sold to Ya Po. After a lot of beatings, I learned to serve people, and then I met the girl. ”

Ji Erlan didn't expect that Twilight, who had always been lively, would have such an experience, and patted her hand comfortingly. Twilight Ye smiled very optimistically: "The suffering I suffered before was a test given to me by God, and now that I have met you, I don't have to be displaced and scolded at will in my life." In the days to come, it will definitely get better and better day by day. ”

A few close girls in the house, who have experienced some hardships when they were young, have also been talked to by Twilight at this time. When I met the girl, it really made them feel that the hardships in the past were worth it, the girl treated them as warm as family, and the girls in this life would not let them be wronged, no need to be displaced, no longer have to be beaten and scolded at will.

The moon breath on the side was blurred with tears, and he turned around and secretly wiped a handful of tears with his sleeve. Turned his face and said, "Don't talk about these sad things, the girl still talks about Tang Nian, what's going on?" ”

When Yue Xi was young, he must have had an unknown experience. But everyone didn't ask, and looked at Ji Erlan.

Ji Erlan said: "If she really misses it, she may not be able to say many things that happened at that time, and what she remembers should be more emotional, such as her own feelings and her feelings for others." Unless something special happens, it will leave a deep impression in the memory. Just like Twilight said. ”

Yuexi said: "But this Tang Nian, she said it very carefully. ”

"Hmm. So my gut feeling that she wasn't really Tang Nian. Ji Erlan turned sideways, took a pickled plum and put it in his mouth, and said, "But, I just hope she is fake." ”

Several girls looked at each other, and Twilight said, "The slave understands. What the girl meant was that if Tang Nian was fake, she would be able to learn more details about the year from her mouth. Because since she wants to borrow Tang Nian's identity, she must spend countless thoughts to grasp the affairs of the Tang family in advance. If anyone doubts her identity, she can trust others with what she has in her hands. So, she must be able to say something that the girl wants to know. ”

Yuexi slapped Twilight Spring and praised, "Wow, you're so smart!" ”

Ji Erlan also nodded and said, "What you said is right, that's the truth." No matter who helps her gather information, she will definitely do everything. Therefore, what I have to do is to extract all the news about the Tang family from her mouth, and then look for the flaws in this case. ”

On the second day, Ji Erlan followed the Qin family to Ruan's mansion, but Ruan Yansheng was secretive, neither mentioning what happened that day, nor wanting to talk about Ruan Ning's recent situation. Everyone went directly to the place where Liu was recuperating.

Liu seemed to have aged ten years overnight, his eyes were sunken and gray, and his face was decayed. Mama Feng beside her saw that someone was coming to visit, and reminded softly on the side: "Madam, someone has come to see you." ”

Only then did the Liu family move their eyes and look at them Qin and the others, but they only glanced at it, then turned back and still stared at the roof without saying a word.

Seeing her like a dead heart, the Qin family couldn't help but look at Ruan Yansheng. The other party came into contact with her gaze, dodged slightly, and then regained his sense of righteousness, as if everything was Liu to blame. The Qin family sighed secretly in his heart, thinking that Ji Chenglin was going to poison himself at the beginning, so he felt a little sad about the death of a rabbit and a fox. Then he secretly made up his mind that he must not let himself live like Liu's ending.

Ruan walked to Liu's side and sat sideways on the couch, and the little mustard in his heart also dissipated, after all, they were younger brothers and sisters who had been together for many years. When she looked at the Liu family today, she was even more unbearable than when she came the day before yesterday, if she went on like this, how could she have a few days to live. Ruan Shi took Liu's hand, couldn't help crying, and said: "People have reached such a situation, what's the use of caring about the others?" You've got to be relaxed to get better. ”

Liu didn't know if he heard it, but he didn't react anyway. Ruan Shi sighed, stood up and said to Ruan Yansheng: "You are too disagreeable, I think it is better to send that Wanzhen away, she can feel better, and she can't say that it can get better." After all, she is the husband and wife who have been with you for many years! ”

That Wanzhen is eighteen or nineteen years old, which is the most enchanting and beautiful age in a woman's family. Originally, Ruan Yansheng was just angry for a while, but since he got started, he couldn't bear it. He frowned and didn't make a sound.

Seeing this, Ruan took him outside to talk, for fear that Liu would see him like a demon with a little goblin, and his heart would worsen his condition.

Qin walked a few steps into Liu's bed, knowing that Ruan Ning was the most unbearable thing in her heart, so she said, "If you have a good one, what should Brother Ning do?" If you are gone, he will continue the strings, how should Brother Ning deal with himself at that time? ”

Ji Erlan was a little surprised by Qin's words, I'm afraid, this is also her pushing herself and others.
