In Meizhou City, in an ordinary house-

The candlesticks burned, the brazier smelled suffocating, and the smoke swirled and swirled in the air, choking people's throats very unpleasantly.

Two men sat opposite each other on the couch.

On the left is Wen Ting, who is dressed in ordinary people's clothes, and on the right is Yan Ting, who is beautifully dressed and dusty.

Wen Ting's body, the kind of bearing of being an official when he was an official in the court has long disappeared, and now he is an old ordinary person who wants to live a quiet ordinary life.

Originally, everything was fine, but he didn't expect that this evening, His Royal Highness the Prince would suddenly visit.

As the saying goes, if you don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, Yan Tian put down the affairs of the court and the central government, no matter how far he traveled thousands of miles to find him in person, there must be something important.

Unexpectedly, he resigned from his official position and hid so far away from the royal city, but he still couldn't hide.

"Lord Wen is sighing?" After being silent for a long time, Yan Tian took the lead in opening his mouth.

Wen Ting's old eyes dimmed slightly: "The old man is no longer a minister of the court, how can he afford the title of His Royal Highness?" ”

Yan Tian smiled and said: "If Lord Wen can't afford it, who else in this world can't afford it?" ”

Wen Ting pondered for a moment and looked up at Yan Tian: "His Royal Highness the Prince of the World is coming today, there must be something important, I don't know what the old man can do to help His Highness?" ”

Yan Tian smiled quietly and said, "It's nothing else, this prince just wants to know, about the case of the destruction of the palace back then, did Lord Wen forget to report something?" ”

Yan Tian asked this euphemistically, he said "whether he forgot" to report, rather than directly asking him if he had something to hide.

But after Wen Ting heard this, he inevitably felt a sigh in his heart.

Yan Tian didn't let go of any expression on his face, and when he saw his frowning little action, he knew that this little old man really had something to hide from him. Gong Lingyu's death hit him too hard, and many things were ignored by him. Now that the old things are brought up again, Wen Ting must be scared in his heart.

Wen Ting pondered for a moment, his eyes flickered a little, and he denied: "What does Your Highness mean by this?" The things of the past were not all personally instructed by His Highness, and those of us who were subordinates were only responsible for implementation. ”

Yan said: "Lord Wen doesn't have to answer in a hurry, think about it carefully, it's not too late to answer." ”

Although Yan Ting's tone was not abnormal, from his gaze, Wen Ting had already seen the threat in his eyes.

Unexpectedly, the thing that violated his conscience a few years ago not only made him lose his daughter and son-in-law, but it was also impossible for him to live a peaceful life in this place for a few years.

Sure enough, people can't do evil, some evil retribution, it's not that they don't pay it, the hour has not come!

Wen Ting's gaze was on an old wooden table between the two.

The wooden table has been worn out of shape, the surface has lost its smooth luster, and traces of crisscrossing can be seen everywhere, Wen Ting was an official in the court when he was young, and he sat in the position of prime minister at the age of thirty-five. And now? He can only condescend to a corner of the small city of Meizhou, and he has to pay for three meals a day, and most of the money he has saved in his life has been donated to the government to repair rivers and dams, in order to use money to atone for the great sins he has committed in the past, and to comfort his heart.

But God didn't even give him such a stable life.

Yan Tian came in person, it was inevitable, and if he didn't pull something out of his mouth today, he wouldn't stop. And those methods of Yan Tilt...... He had heard it for so many years, and he was scared in his heart.

I have an old bone, if it falls into the hands of Yan Tian again, how many days will I have to live?

But what he hid was ...... If Yan Tian said it, he might not let himself go, in case he was angry and accelerated the speed of his death, wouldn't it be worth the loss?

Wen Ting was weighing in his heart, and Yan Tian's gaze slowly fixed on him, as if he was not in a hurry.

It is said that people rely on clothes and horses and saddles, in the past, Wen Ting wore official clothes and stepped on official boots and was full of majesty, but now, he is wearing a coarse cloth robe, no different from ordinary people, his brows are deeply locked, and his whole face seems to have aged ten years overnight.

Yan tilted his eyes and said, "You think carefully first, is there anything left behind that has not been reported?" This son of the world will not punish you for your sins in the face of your loyalty to the country in the past, and now you are no longer in the government and the opposition...... You and I can talk to each other as friends, and don't care about my identity. ”

In fact, Yan Tian had suspected Wen Ting's sudden resignation more than once, and now it seems that there must be something wrong with this.

Under Yan Ting's scrutinizing gaze, Wen Ting thought for a long time, but he still didn't plan to tell what happened back then, his conscience had been greatly condemned, and his relatives had also suffered an accident because of this, he couldn't make mistakes again and again, and even lost the opportunity to reform himself. Wen Ting slowly raised his head, his facial expression was a little stiff, and replied to Yan Tian: "Your Royal Highness, the old man has nothing to hide from His Highness. It's dark outside, and there is an inn at the mouth of the alley, the old man is old, and His Royal Highness forgives the old man for not being able to send it away! ”

Wen Ting gave the order to evict the guests, but Yan Tian did not get up, and the smile on his face became deeper and deeper.

There was a cup of water that Wen Ting poured for him when he came in on the table, it was not a good tea, and the color of the tea was also of inferior quality. At this moment, his slender and beautiful fingers were gripping the teacup, and before he could see how hard he was pressing, the teacup cracked through it with a click.

Tea slowly spilled from between his fingers and ran down a corner of the table.

Yan tilted his eyebrows and looked at the broken teacup, the curvature of the corners of his lips became weird, and he slowly spoke: "I heard that Lord Wen also has a little daughter in Qinghe Town's hometown. ”

When Wen Ting heard this, his eyes shot towards Yan Tian, and his pupils dilated.

He has a thin number of children in his life, the Wen family has reached his generation, there are only a few children under his knees, and all those who have married have been married, and now the little girl in his hometown in Qinghe Town is only five years old, and he is the son of his old age, so he has been fostered in his hometown in Qinghe Town, which ...... How did Yan Tian find out?

Wen Ting thought of his little daughter, and a layer of cold sweat involuntarily broke out on his forehead, the more he thought about it, the colder it became, Yan Tian came today...... I'm afraid I'm fully prepared.

Looking at the teacup that was crushed by him, Wen Ting was very frightened, Yan Tian was threatening him......

If he didn't tell the truth back then, Yan Tian would target the youngest daughter in Qinghe Town......

He has lost his wishes and cannot afford to lose this other daughter......

Finally, under Yan Ting's questioning without a trace of murderous aura, Wen Ting relented and explained what he had done back then.

"His Royal Highness asked me to dispose of the corpses of the remnants of the palace family, and that night, the princess found me, saying that His Royal Highness had confessed that he wanted to throw all the corpses of the palace family into the mass graves in the suburbs to feed the wolves. I...... I did have the bodies out of the city overnight, but the next night, I smuggled people out and transferred the more than 100 corpses to a cemetery outside Phoenix Ridge. I buried the palace family there and went to the grave every year. ”

In the end, Wen Ting still confessed to the family members of the palace who buried them back then.

When Yan Tian heard this, he groaned for a while, he knew that the "princess" mentioned in Wen Ting's mouth was Le Mingsha. What's ridiculous is that Le Mingsha did such a vicious thing in his name back then, if Wen Ting hadn't explained the original story of the matter today, he wouldn't have known that Le Mingsha had done such a unconscionable thing in his name.

The smile on Yan Ting's face was a little cold, Wen Ting's heart was shocked, and after a while, Yan Tian regained his complexion, didn't embarrass him anymore, and got up to leave: "Thank you Lord Wen for telling the truth, I said that tonight will be between you and me as friends, and I won't embarrass you." He called outside, "Sangyo." ”

Sang He came in and put a wooden box in his hand on the table in front of Wen Ting, Yan Tian explained: "This is a little careful, Lord Wen must accept it." Also, Meizhou is not too far from the royal city, if Lord Wen has the heart to go away, it is better to leave Nanzhao and go to Fenglinzhou. Fenglin Continent is a vast land, maybe there, Lord Wen can return to the government and the opposition. ”

After Yan Tian finished speaking, he left with someone.

Wen Ting didn't react for a long time, he opened the wooden box on the table and took a look, there were five hundred taels of silver in it!

Yan Tian has changed sex today, why is his style of acting so abnormal? It was obvious that he was here to ask him, but in the end, he confessed the fact that he hid it from his family in the palace, not only did he not get angry and did not blame him, but he also gave him silver and persuaded him to leave Nanzhao and go to another country?

He- kicked in the head by a donkey?

Anyway, after Yan Tian left, Wen Ting had a feeling of the rest of his life, and he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.

Shizifu –

Gong Lingyu was writing in front of the table, Yun Yihan sat at the round table and peeled melon seeds for her, she thought that she had negotiated with Yun Yihan, and she couldn't tell him everything yet, but she did everything in front of him, and no longer tried her best to hide it from her, but she didn't know, in fact, Yun Yihan already knew her identity and knew most of her things well.

Originally, Gong Lingyu was writing, Yun Yihan looked at her while peeling melon seeds, and the picture was harmonious without any sense of disobedience. Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps in the corridor outside, and it seemed that there were many people walking towards this side, and Yun Yihan's senses were not as sensitive as before, and he only noticed it when he arrived at the door, and then flashed to the closet.

Almost in the next second, Le Mingsha and Rong Sheng pushed the door in, and behind them, there were more than a dozen guards with knives!
