Dong Xiao got in touch with Yu Fan when he arrived in Jincheng, his whereabouts cannot be exposed for the time being, he and Guan Liren panicked, and wanted to go back to Pingcheng to complete the marriage, Guan Feng and Yu Lin also wanted to accompany him back to drink the wedding wine, but he directly refused.

They thought he had something in mind, and they didn't force it, so the matter of Jincheng must end before his marriage. Otherwise, it would be difficult for them to investigate if it leaked out.

No one mentions the arson case of that year, and Shangguan Jun made a decree that the arson case was hastily closed, and the witnesses and those who survived the fire also disappeared.

Thankless, Dong Xiao didn't understand why Yu Liang would bring up this matter again. It wasn't until he arrived in Jincheng that he learned the truth.

Yu Liang's father is not deaf and mute, he is Yu Xianlong, the bodyguard of Princess Jingchen back then.

The reason why he disguised himself as a deaf and mute person was to hide his identity, and the other was to find out the truth of the year.

When he was exiled, he suffered a lot, was framed, and almost died, but thanks to Yu Liang's mother, he escaped. Yu Liang was still an infant at that time, and Yu Liang's biological father died of heart disease, leaving only the pair of orphans and widows. Thanks to his mother's kindness, he recognized Yu Liang as his righteous son. And gave the child his name.

Yu Xianlong had high hopes for Liang and taught him to practice calligraphy and dance, Yu Xianlong also knew how to be grateful, knowing that his father-in-law's wish in this life was not fulfilled, so he deliberately went to Jincheng to investigate the events of the year.

After all these years, he is still haunted by it and secretly investigating. It was to come to Jincheng. Although there are clues, the chance of being able to contact the Chen family is too slim, for convenience, he let Yu Liang participate in the martial arts exam, this kid is also angry, entered the top three, and also entered the palace, and met the emperor.

And Yu Liang refused to stay in Shangjing for him, and took the initiative to ask to come to Jincheng to serve. As the first-class head catcher in Jincheng, he came into contact with more people, and gradually found clues.

And their abilities are limited, at this time Yu Lian thought of Dong Xiao and begged him for help.

After such a long investigation, they have enough evidence. But now it's a matter of how to make Chen Jing confess her guilt and bring down the Chen family.

In fact, since Chen Mao's death, the Chen family has not been as good as before, but Chen Mozhi's status in the rivers and lakes, no one dares to do anything to the Chen family. Yu Xianlong doesn't have to be like the Chen family, what he wants is the truth.

All the evidence is there, just wait for an opportunity. Chen Jing was taken away when she was eating wine with her friends in the restaurant. And Yu Fan, Dong Xiao openly tried Yu Jing, and this incident shocked the entire Central Plains.

Yu Xianlong disclosed his identity in Jincheng again, pointing out that Chen Jing led the arson case of the prison back then, and staged a plan at the feet of the Son of Heaven. Chen Jing refused to admit it, pretending to be crazy and stupid.

Shangguan Jun was furious and sent Guan Liren to Jincheng to find out the truth.

Chen Mozhi also returned to Jincheng, he wanted to negotiate with Dong Xiao and Yu Fan in private, and he did not comment on whether his father had done such a thing back then. But, after all, it was his father, and he couldn't ignore it. If you can save it, you still have to save it.

"I didn't expect you to come here, but Yi'er didn't want to think about it for you." Chen Mozhi looked at Dong Xiao with anger in his eyes, he couldn't say anything about his father's investigation, but he was really disappointed with Yi'er.

When Dong Xiao left the capital, everyone thought that he would go back to get married, and Yi'er was even more worried because of this. At first, he didn't know, but that night, she was drinking alone on the first floor of the sky. He hadn't seen her in a long time, since he had said something like that to her. She hadn't answered yet, and he didn't dare to ask.

She was in a hurry and a little confused, but she still recognized him and called Brother Chen, he persuaded her, but she didn't listen. She said how could people not count, he didn't understand it yet, and later learned that she was talking about Dong Xiao. No wonder, he never gave him an answer, it turned out that she had someone else in her heart.

"There is a reason for it, and I have no choice but to do it." Dong Xiao was helpless.

Chen Mozhi sneered, "That's a good reason." ”

Yu Fan couldn't look at it, "This matter started because of it, and I will explain it then." ”

"If my father had done what had been done back then, and he had his own judgment of the law, I would not have tolerated it. But, why can't you say hello in advance, friends are not stabbed in the back. ”

Yu Fan: "It's really a last resort, just because your family's power is indeed more ...... than I imagined."

"What I don't understand is that the court turned a blind eye at the beginning, but you did it like that?"

Dong Xiao, "Just for the truth." ”

Chen Mozhi: "It's all nonsense, you're not for yourself, don't think I don't know what you want in your heart." The imperial court is not something that can be shaken by one or two major events. ”

Dong Xiao: "Then what do you mean today?" ”

Chen Mozhi: "I just want to hear the truth, whether what happened back then was true or not." ”

Yu Fan: "Don't you still believe it?" From the perspective of a friend, I don't want this to be the result either, but the truth is the truth, in that case I will take you to meet someone, believe it or not, you judge for yourself. ”

The three of them came to Yu's house together. As soon as Yu Fan was about to open the door and go in, he heard the sound of talking from inside the house, and the three of them could hear it clearly.

It is the dialogue between Guan Liren and Yu Xianlong.

Guan Liren: "Niangniang has been looking for you." ”

Yu Xianlong: "Thanks to Niangniang's concern, I don't want her to be embarrassed." ”

Guan Liren: "You have been haunted by what happened back then? ”

Yu Xianlong: "Mrs. Yin will not deceive me." Besides, I did see Chen Jing. ”

Guan Liren: "Why don't you make it clear to the emperor?" ”

Yu Xianlong: "Back then, there was a deep misunderstanding between the mother and the emperor, and I didn't want to affect the relationship between the two because of me. ”

Guan Liren: "But you are like this now, what do you want the emperor to do, the struggle between the old and new factions, the suppression of the emperor by the old party, he is not allowed to do it, even if he knows that there are many doubts, he has to use this opportunity to consume the power of the old faction." ”

Yu Xianlong: "But Taifu's sin is not to death, and there is Master Li." Because the struggle for power requires the sacrifice of these innocent people? ”

Guan Liren: "Then what do you want him to admit his mistakes back then?" ”

Yu Xianlong: "I just want the murderer to be brought to justice and innocent people to be innocent." ”

"Now the emperor sent me here to uphold justice, and he will not tolerate what happened back then, but what he didn't expect was forced to a dead end by the people he valued."

Guan Liren sighed, and continued, "You guys come in, I've been listening for so long." ”

The three of them went in together. Guan Liren glanced at Dong Xiao first, and suppressed anger in his heart. What disappointed him the most was Dong Xiao's concealment of him.

He poured out his heart and lungs for this child, but he was still not at ease with himself.

This time, with Yu Fan, Dong Xiao, Yu Xianlong and maybe people he didn't know, he found out about such a major matter. There was no leakage of the slightest rumor, and Chen Jing, who was killed, was caught off guard. is even more in the court, Shangguan Jun did not have any preparations.

He knew that this matter was not overnight, and Yu Xianlong had obviously put in a lot of hard work.

Chen Mozhi also understood what his father and grandfather did back then, and this incident was a big blow to him. He was such an upright person that he never expected that his family would commit a heinous crime.

He didn't want to defend anything, so he directly said goodbye to Guan Liren and Yu Xianlong. On the way back, he thought a lot, because of the relationship between the Chen family, he still had a trace of confidence, and his relationship with Yi'er would at least not be opposed by the imperial court.

Now, he has become the son of a criminal minister, and his father has committed a great crime of the Nine Clans, and if he is held accountable, his aunt will not be able to get rid of it, let alone him. Even if there are so many people in the rivers and lakes, the people do not fight with the officials, which is the truth since ancient times. And he didn't want to excuse himself. is also ready to advance and retreat with the Chen family.

He didn't go home, he went straight to the prison, he wanted to see his father. He wanted to hear what he said back then.

Dong Xiao followed Guan Liren back to Yamen, and as a representative of the imperial court, he was also the chief judge of the case. This time, I also came with Shangguan Jun's will.

But apparently he was upset. It can be seen from his conversation with Yu Xianlong. Dong Xiao followed him without saying a word. Until he returned to the yamen, Dong Xiao had nothing to say.

Guan Liren took the initiative to speak, "Xiao'er, whether this time the matter is entrusted by someone or something else, I have to admit that you did a good job." In this way, Guan Feng and Yu Lin are all compared, but what I want is that I am disappointed in my heart. ”

Dong Xiao watched him kneel down, "Xiao'er's concealment from you is my fault, but out of the morality of friends, Xiao'er has done nothing wrong." ”

Guan Liren looked at him and shook his head, "That means you still think you're right, right?" ”

"You told a big lie and put the court in a passive position......"

"It's the current emperor who is in a passive position, if it wasn't for his selfishness......"

With a snap, Guan Liren slapped him.

said angrily, "This is not what you should say, if you are not in his position, you will not seek his own government, and which of you can see that he has no choice." As a junior, he has no right to point fingers at him. ”

Dong Xiao was also angry, "Then what about my father and my mother, what crimes have they committed, why have they been imprisoned for more than ten years since I was two years old." ”

"Is this your revenge?" Guan Liren asked.

Dong Xiao was silent.

"You go back." Guan Liren sighed weakly.

"Uncle, Xiao'er just wants to rescue my father and mother, and the reason why I agreed to you to enlist in the army is also to have the opportunity to overturn the case for them. I hope you can help me when that day comes. ”

Guan Liren didn't answer, looking at Dong Xiao, if there really was such a day, what should he do. Shangguan Ying and Dong Yulin's affairs, he couldn't help them even if he wanted to.

Dong Yulin is a person who has never been convinced, and for Dong Xiao, he actually took the initiative to write a letter to Shangguan Jun to admit his mistake. He is so proud of how difficult it is for a person to let go of his dignity.

Dong Yulin has endured it for more than ten years, and it will not be so simple to compromise easily, there is only one explanation, that is, he pinned all his hopes on Dong Xiao

The grievances of the previous generation, he does not want to extend to this generation. However, things did not go as planned.
