85, Grace
If Geng Niang is just an ordinary person, Wang Huacheng's hijacking will naturally have no effect. But after all, she is the only daughter of You Taishou in Qingzhou, although You Zhishen, the elder of the Three Dynasties, has passed away, no one wants to bear the notoriety of killing his only daughter.
Wang Huacheng clasped Geng Niang's neck and slowly walked outside the yamen of the Three Law Divisions.
The crowd led by King Su followed out surrounded by the officials.
Fang Ping knew that if Zuo Qianhu made a move, he would definitely be able to take down Wang Huacheng, but for some reason, Zuo Qianhu never thought about making a move from beginning to end, but just stared at Geng Niang with burning eyes, as if he was afraid.
At this time, the picture scroll in Fang Ping's sleeve moved, and it was Xiao Xie.
This is an extremely rare phenomenon, Xiao Xie seems to have sensed something, and he is extremely excited. But in full view of everyone, he didn't dare to take out the scroll and let her out.
Suppressing the throbbing of the scroll, he heard the head of the criminal department warn:
Wang Huacheng...... Wang 18, don't make mistakes with yourself, this is a crime! ”
Wang Eighteen naturally knew that his identity was exposed, and it was impossible for Wang Ge Lao to continue to use him, with that guy's character, he would definitely kill people, so he chose to take Geng Niang hostage in order to get out.
"Zhou Wencong, you have been messing with this fake Wang Huacheng, could it be that you also have a part in these evil things he has done?" Fang Ping suddenly asked.
Zhou Wencong said in his heart that this king has become a smart person, and he was confused for a while, but he was put on a position by his mother-in-law, and this time it was difficult to escape at home.
He hurriedly opened his mouth to clear up the relationship.
"I, and he are just general friends, and they have a relationship of interest."
"Oh, really?" Fang Ping said with a smile.
When Wang Shibai heard this, he scolded: "Okay, you Zhou Wencong, you turn your face and don't recognize people, right!" I tell you, I do most of these things at your ......."
Before he finished speaking, Wang 18 suppressed his voice as if he had been enchanted, and saw that his face was full of shock, and he was stunned for a while, screamed twice, and actually knelt on the ground motionless.
It's like casting a spell to control someone!
This sudden change was unexpected by everyone present, and the official hurriedly stepped forward to take down Wang 18, and Geng Niang was able to get out of trouble, but with a dull face.
"Escort this person down and keep it under strict guard!"
As for Zhou Wencong, he was also imprisoned, after all, he and Wang Huawei were accomplices, and some of the evidence provided by Geng Niang also involved the sale and purchase with Zhou Wencong.
Even if Li Shilang's case was not committed by Zhou Wencong, the previous deeds alone are enough to give a heavy sentence.
When the dust settled, King Su asked the Imperial History of the Supervision Department to give some condolences to Geng Niang, and then returned to the palace with the county lord of Dongcheng and Fang Ping.
King Su set up a banquet and personally entertained Fang Ping, praising him for being young and promising, quite a father's style, and waiting for the next year's scientific examination to give it a go.
Fang Ping naturally understood that there were people in the so-called court who were good officials, let alone such a big tree as King Su.
As long as he works a little harder, then he will be on the rise in the future.
It's just that being an official is not what he wants. Concerned about his father's affairs, Fang Ping also used the kung fu of toasting to listen to King Su's tone.
But King Su pretended to be confused and avoided talking about it, only reassuring him, saying that everything is judged by the saints.
After all, there are still some guests of King Su in this mansion, and Fang Ping is not good at asking more questions on the surface, so he can only drink sullenly.
After the banquet was over, Fang Ping returned to the guest room drunk, only to find that there was an extra figure in the room.
The room was pitch black, but the special fragrance suddenly made Fang Ping's wine wake up by three points.
It's the lord of Dongcheng.
Fang Ping was taken aback, although the two were relatives, they were not related to each other.
How could this noble daughter of the main hall of Dongcheng County get into her guest room?
Fang Ping coughed lightly, muttered in a low voice, "Could it be that he went to the wrong place", turned to leave, but heard a snickering from Dongcheng in the dark.
"Why are you so cowardly, you have to leave when you see me?"
Fang Ping had just been fooled by King Su for a while, and he was a little angry in his heart, and when he heard his daughter say this, he couldn't care about it, and said boldly: "What, what does the county lord have to say?" ”
Dongcheng said quietly: "There is no teaching, but don't you call me Dongcheng during the day, why are you rusty again?" ”
When Fang Ping heard what she said, he secretly said in his heart that she really meant something special to herself, otherwise what was going on?
If she wants to say that she is calculating herself, it seems that she has nothing to do with her calculations.
Fang Ping simply entered the room and sat down, sighing: "What do you want, just say it!" ”
Dongcheng was silent for a while, and then said quietly: "Brother He, don't you really remember Sister?" ”
Whoa?
Fang Ping was about to shake his head, when suddenly, a memory popped up in his mind.
At that time, he was only seven years old, and he was always followed by a little girl of four or five years old, who called his brother in a milky voice, telling him to wait for him......
"It's you!"
Fang Ping remembered, it turned out that the county lord of Dongcheng was the little heel from his childhood! It's just that for some reason, this memory is so vague that he almost forgot it completely......
"And brother, you finally remember me!"
The county lord of Dongcheng smiled, and tears welled up in his eyes in the darkness.
But before the two could say a few words, footsteps came from outside the courtyard.
The county lord of Dongcheng hurriedly silenced.
"Young Master Fang, are you resting?"
It was the voice of a maid.
Fang Ping responded: "Lie down." ”
"Have you ever seen His Royal Highness the County Lord?"
Fang Ping and Dongcheng glanced at each other, only to feel that her two black eyes were exceptionally bright.
"I haven't seen you since the feast."
"Okay, Childe is resting!"
The maid asked, and left.
After confirming that the maid had gone away, the county lord of Dongcheng dared to speak: "Brother He, it's good that you still remember me, let's talk tomorrow!" ”
With that, she slipped out of the room.
Fang Ping touched his head, and before he could think about it, the picture scroll on the table shook violently.
He hurriedly stepped forward and untied the scroll, and saw Xiao Xie's figure appear in the purple smoke.
She pouted, puffing out.
"What's wrong?"
Fang Ping knew that she had been hanging by herself all day, so he held his breath in his heart and comforted him, so Xiao Xie was willing to talk to him.
But this said a piece of news that made Fang Ping extremely stunned.
During the day, the reason why Xiao Xie was so restless was precisely because of the fake Wang Huacheng of the eighteenth king.
As soon as Xiao Xie approached Wang Huacheng, she was angry, and she couldn't tell why.
"Maybe that Wang Eighteen has something to do with the person who killed me back then!"
When Xiao Xie was burglary by flower thieves, she was unjustly killed, and the rope that hanged her after death was taken away by the wicked, causing her to never be able to live beyond her life.
Fang Ping promised to find relief for her, but now that he happened to have a clue, he naturally couldn't sit idly by.
It's just that now that Wang Huacheng is in prison, he can only investigate his background first to know whether he is related to Xiao Xie's case that year, and then he can find Xiao Xie's hanging rope.
"Xiao Xie, don't worry, early tomorrow morning, I will go to ask King Su for authorization, let me investigate this Wang Eighteen, and I will definitely find out what happened back then."
After getting Fang Ping's promise, Xiao Xie was also a lot more relieved, nodded obediently, and went to bed in plain clothes to massage him.
Fang Ping was lying on the bed at the moment, but he also felt uneasy in his heart, so he took Xiao Xie's hand and asked her to go to King Su for him to take a peek and see what this King Su meant.
Recalling King Su's attitude at the banquet, Fang Ping always felt that King Su did not care about his father's case as he said, or there were other hidden secrets in it!
The human heart is unpredictable, but the ghost is difficult to hide. Let Xiao Xie take a look at what King Su has in mind.
