The next day, Chen Ling rushed to the North Underworld City and knocked on the door in front of him: "May I ask who is this?" ”

"Squeak", the old man who watched the door came out, looked up at her with a drooping face, and then said: "This yard has no owner, and it has long been idle." ”

"Old man, can Lord He have an heir?" She bowed respectfully, "I have an old thing I want to ask about. ”

The old man sighed and led them into the courtyard: "The young master has been here for more than ten years, and even if the old master dies, he has not seen anyone. Girl, what do you ask? ”

Chen Ling glanced at the men's clothes on his body, touched the makeup that was deliberately painted dark on his face, and then smiled: "The old gentleman has good eyesight, I want to ask, can you tell me a thing or two about the life deeds of Liu Xiangping Liu Shilang back then?" ”

The old man's expression was sluggish, and then he returned to his plain appearance: "The old slave once heard that the lord praised Liu Shilang as a capable person, with great talent, and even more handsome appearance, and he really wanted to marry the eldest lady to him." It's just that the eldest lady has a thin life, and she died first. ”

"Old man, I just want to ask one thing this time, and it will never involve you in the slightest-was it Liu Shilang's embezzlement of official money back then?"

The old man was even more solemn, looking at Chen Ling's gaze obscurely: "Girl, don't ask too much." ”

"Why did Lord He resign and return to his hometown after Liu Shilang was sentenced, and his son was originally in the yafu of the capital, but he was also transferred to the remote Nanhe City?" Chen Ling said everything he had investigated, and instead asked, "Old gentleman might give me a reliable answer?" ”

The old man's voice was slightly cold: "The old people are all gone, why be persistent, this will only harm yourself." ”

Chen Ling said with a smile: "I heard that the Holy Maiden is in the Criminal Department as a fast arrester, if she comes forward to end this matter, she must have half a chance to clarify the grievances of the year." ”

Hearing this, the old man observed her intently for a while, a pair of big almond eyes were five points similar to Haiyue, and the delicate face was seven points similar to her back then, but this man's heroic posture was completely different from her.

Back then, she was the first beauty in Chen Guo and the first talented woman in Chen Guo, with a gentle temperament and a dignified temperament, and she fell in love with Liu Xiangping at first sight.

And the person in front of him is bold enough to overturn the case for the Liu family!

"You don't look like her." When she came to the lobby, the old man personally made tea and handed her a cup, still in such a bland state of life and death, "She was gentle and polite back then, and she amazed countless men with her piano music in one hand." ”

Hearing this, Chen Ling searched for the memory of the original owner, and there was no such passage: "My mother has never played ...... in front of me"

"If your confidant is not there, it will be tasteless if you play." As he spoke, the old man also took a cup of tea, took a sip and tasted it carefully, "Girl, do you want to hear the story of the year......

Without waiting for Chen Ling to answer, he spoke to himself.

It turned out that Liu Xiangping and Haiyue's encounter was at a certain lantern festival. At the invitation of a friend, Haiyue brought a veil to play the piano on the huge flower floor of Wangcheng, and it happened that Liu Xiangping, who was going to Beijing to take the exam, passed by there, and the slightest sound held his footsteps.

At the end of the song, Liu Xiangping had already come to Haiyue, and bowed: "Miss's silk strings are like buckles, which is a quiet song, but it adds a trace of worry, I don't know what's on my mind?" ”

Everyone was shocked.

Haiyue was also slightly surprised, and said after being silent for a while: "Childe, please." ”

The two entered the Tianzi box and talked for an hour.

After that, the two often went in and out of the Huamanlou, chatting about ideals, and finally they were both moved by honesty in all aspects.

However, when Liu Xiangping confessed, he was rejected by Haiyue and never met again. When they met again, it was when Liu Xiangping made a meritorious achievement in the household department and was invited to the annual dinner by the king.

Later, the two met separately in the Imperial Garden. Haiyue told the truth and asked Liu Xiangping to treat his wife and concubine well and die for her.

But I don't know when he actually got the position of Taifu, specializing in teaching princes algorithms and financial management, and took this opportunity to take a peek at Haiyue.

Later, of course, he was disposed of by the king for the crime of corruption.

At that time, there was a flood in the south, and the king awarded 1 million taels for disaster relief to Liu Shilang's colleague Wang Zuo, who later learned of his corruption. The king calculated and put the blame on Liu Shilang. ”

After listening to the love history of his mother, Chen Ling sighed a few times and asked, "Where is Wang Zuo now?" ”

"It has long been cleaned up by the king." The old man replied, "My lord also knows that the king is ruthless, so in order not to affect the young master's future, he took the initiative to resign." ”

"But He Bolin was still sent to Nanhe City."

The old man said: "The girl doesn't know, Nanhe City is the land of fish and rice, rich and extraordinary, and it can break away from the high-ranking officials in the royal city, isn't it beautiful." ”

She nodded, "I see." Why didn't the old gentleman follow the young master to enjoy the happiness and stay here? ”

The old man sighed: "The old man ordered me to stay here, and if no one finds him, I will guard the tomb for him." But the old slave never thought that it was you who came. ”

Chen Ling's eyes lit up, and he was as thoughtful as Lord Shangshu, and he had long expected that someone would rehabilitate him: "Who does Lord He think will come?" ”

"Loyalty and righteousness are like a king, and I will repay Liu Shilang for his many maintenances." As he spoke, the old man added, "It's just that I heard recently that he has been withdrawn by the king and has become an idle prince. ”

Chen Ling nodded: "But I owe him a favor." ”

The old man flashed his eyes, looked at the warmth that flashed in her eyes, hesitated for a while and persuaded him: "You have an extraordinary status, and you can't help yourself in many things, so you can't be willful...... Don't follow in your mother's footsteps. ”

Chen Ling blinked, then smiled, "I won't." "If she can't live according to her heart, then it will be in vain for her to be born again.

But these, she will not reveal.

By the time she had finished talking to the old man and had taken another book, it was already dusk.

Chen Ling rested in the inn for the night, read the contents of the book by the way, and rushed back to the royal city the next day.

She prepared all the people and things she needed, and then went to the Criminal Department, found Chen Zhuyuan, and said, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, I need your help with something. ”

In the past few days, Chen Ling has been going out early and returning late, Chen Zhuyuan couldn't find her, he was worried about her body, and when he saw her, he frowned: "What's the matter with you?" The most important thing you need to do right now is to raise it. ”

"My wound is almost healed." She continued, "I found out the clues of the Liu family's case, and I was really wronged! ”

Chen Zhuyuan was shocked and became even more angry: "You are still investigating that case!" You ......"

She hurriedly interrupted, not letting him block the words: "My feeling tells me that Liu Xiangping was wronged!" When I investigated, it turned out to be so. Now that I have human and physical evidence, I can definitely prove that the official treasury corruption case was not committed by Liu Xiangping! As long as Your Highness, you give me a chance......"
