Chapter 24: Spiritual resentment and assassination of He Yuting

Everyone turned their faces, only to see He Yuting and Ding Jinzhi walking in with their faces sinking like water, followed by Luo Zhenyi, Xiao Yongnian and others.

The arrogance of no one else is enough for fifteen people to watch the half moon.

Although Lu Wenzheng was unhappy in his heart, he had to get up and order someone to take a seat. Yuan Ping and Dong Wu hurriedly moved chairs.

He Yuting said coldly: "Lord Lu doesn't have to be polite. This palace is here precisely for this case. Alas, it's a shame to say that this palace has formed some old grudges with a few lawless people, and I don't want them to repay it, and after 20 years, I am still haunted by it, and I actually tried to kidnap Miss Ding Mansion and blackmail this palace, and its crime is really outrageous!

"This palace originally thought that with Lord Lu's ability to handle cases, the suspect should have been arrested a long time ago, but who expected the result to be so unsatisfactory, what a disappointment!"

Lu Wenzheng said: "How do you say this? ”

He Yuting said: "The person you are arresting now is not the criminal who kidnapped Miss Ding Mansion at all, doesn't Lord Lu know?" ”

Lu Wenzheng said: "How does Master Hou know that the person we arrested is not a suspect?" ”

He Yuting said: "Hasn't Miss Xiangluo already confirmed this!" Lord Lu, forgive this palace for saying disrespectful words, arresting innocents in vain and wronging good people; also coerced and seduced a weak and helpless woman, is this how the people from your Criminal Department Shangshu Mansion handle the case? ”

Lu Wenzheng raised his eyebrows, and he wanted to be sarcastic; Ding Jinzhi had already taken over the conversation and said: "I think so, since this little Taoist priest is not a suspect, Lord Lu will release him on the spot." You and I are both officials in the same dynasty, so we should be considerate of each other, and no one has anything to miss! Hou Ye doesn't have to hold Lord Lu accountable anymore - I don't know what Hou Ye thinks? ”

He Yuting said: "Okay, come here, let this little Taoist priest go." ”

He gestured back to the left and right. Luo Zhenyi and Xiao Yongnian took the opportunity to come over and push the stretcher of their hearts.

Ling Yun had been silent just now, and at this time he couldn't bear it anymore, his figure flashed, he rushed forward, and stopped Xiao and Luo with his hand.

Xiao Yongnian and Luo Zhenyi were swept away by the other party's powerful gangfeng, and couldn't help but staggered back a few steps. In this way, Ling Yun snatched the whole person and gained the upper hand.

Seeing this, He Yuting was furious and said, "Lingyun, what are you going to do?" ”

Ling Yun said: "Master Hou, please listen to me." No matter what others say, but the situation of this spiritual Taoist priest kidnapping Miss Ding Mansion was what Ling Yun saw with his own eyes, so Ling Yun dared to advise Hou Ye not to let go of the suspect easily based on the words of others! ”

He Yuting said: "You say that other people's words are one-sided words, aren't your own words one-sided words?" Lingyun, let me ask you, what evidence do you have to prove that what you said is true? ”

Ling Yun said: "Ling Yun can't produce any strong evidence to confirm that my words are true for the time being; But since neither of us can prove that what we say is true, we should reopen the case, let alone the suspects! ”

He Yuting was speechless for a while, he hated Ling Yun in his heart.

Lu Wenzheng said: "Master Hou, Lord Ding, this government thinks that Commander Ling is reasonable, and this case should indeed be tried carefully. At that time, in addition to Commander Ling and Miss Xiangluo, there were also young ladies from Dingfu. Therefore, the government has a reluctant request to ask Miss Ding to come forward to testify in order to find out the ins and outs of this case. I don't know what Master Hou and Lord Ding think? ”

Ding Jinzhi: "It's just that the little girl has been unwell recently, and I'm afraid she won't be able to testify in court." ”

Lu Wenzheng said: "It's okay. Miss Ding is a daughter, so it is inconvenient for her to show her head in court; Lu can take the suspect and the people in the house to your mansion tomorrow to disturb him, I think Miss Na Ding is a person who understands righteousness, and will definitely cooperate with the government to investigate this case! I don't think Lord Ding will disagree, right? ”

Hearing this, Ding Jinzhi couldn't say anything anymore. Lu Wenzheng asked He Yuting again what he meant.

He Yuting had not yet expressed his position, and his silent heart suddenly said: "You don't have to bother to invite any witnesses, what do you want to know, I'll tell you the truth." ”

One sentence made everyone present feel inspired, and they all focused their eyes on their hearts.

And the mind seems to be selling off, but at this time it does not speak. For a moment, the air seemed to freeze.

Now the most worrying person is He Yuting.

He already had a rough idea of the life of his soul, so when his mind, which had been silent, suddenly spoke, he couldn't help but get nervous, and he was afraid that his mind would shake out his disgraceful affair in public.

Lu Wenzheng said: "Du Zhenghai, if you have anything to say, don't worry about it." ”

The heart said: "There are a few words that I want to make clear to the Hou Ye first." ”

Ding Jinzhi: "Then let's say it." ”

The heart said coldly: "Since it is a backer, naturally I can only say it to Hou Ye alone; Master Hou, poor road is inconvenient, please come closer, I think you don't want others to hear something you shouldn't hear! ”

He Yuting's face was a little unbearable, and he said: "Don't rap, if you have anything to say, just say it." ”

As he spoke, he took a few steps forward, and his body was almost close to the stretcher of his heart. He's listening.

The people on both sides moved outward with great interest, lest they hear things that they should not hear, and disadvantage others and themselves.

A sneer appeared on his face, and he shot like electricity, and the cold light flashed in his sleeve, stabbing He Yuting's chest!

He was sitting on a stretcher, while He Yuting was standing, and the sharp blade ejected, just enough to stab him in the chest.

Everyone exclaimed, all at a loss, dumbfounded.

There is only one exception, Ling Yun. He had already seen the clue from the murderous eyes of his soul before the incident, and his quick reaction made him shake his hand, and with a brush, the sleeve arrow was issued, as impartial as a white rainbow through the sun, hitting the blade that was ready to be fired!

Then there was a deafening sound, and the Hidden Arrow slammed the blade out, sparks in all directions, and both sharp weapons shattered into several pieces and fell to the ground.

Everyone breathed a long sigh, and He Yuting was so shocked that his face was like earth.

Seeing that he couldn't stab himself, his heart couldn't help but sigh, and flipped his palm to the door in front of him! He saw that he couldn't do anything, and he was going to cut himself!

Seeing this, Ling Yun hurriedly stepped forward and raised his hand to restrain several key points on his body, making him unable to move.

Then Ling Yun turned around and arched his hand at He Yuting and said, "Ling Yun was derelict in his duties and frightened Master Hou. ”

He Yuting was shocked, he raised his head, and his eyes were colliding with Ling Yun's bright eyes.

This was the first time He Yuting looked at Ling Yun with a straight eye. For some reason, he suddenly had an inexplicable feeling at this time; He only felt that the other party's eyebrows and eyes seemed familiar, and unconsciously stirred up layers of ripples in his heart.

He just stared straight at the other party, almost forgetting how bad his identity was in public.

It wasn't until Ding Jinzhi reminded him that he sighed unnaturally, and said slowly: "Why did Commander Ling say this, this palace also wants to thank you for saving your life!" ”

Ding Jinzhi was a little dissatisfied when he saw that He Yuting was so tolerant of the dereliction of duty of the people in the Shangshu Mansion of the Criminal Department, and took over the conversation and said: "It's still the Hou Ye who is magnanimous, but Lord Lu, Ding has the courage to ask: How does your Shangshu Mansion of the Criminal Department control the prisoners, and you will let the murderer go to court with a sharp weapon, and it almost caused a big disaster!" ”

Before Lu Wenzheng could speak, Ling Yun had already said: "Qi Qi Hou Ye, this matter is all complained about Ling Yun's improper arrangement, Lord Lu does not know, if Hou Ye wants to deal with it, please dispose of Ling Yun!" ”

He Yuting once again encountered Ling Yun's black and white, crystal like watery eyes, and felt quite confused, and said weakly: "Forget it, don't pursue this matter anymore." However, there is still something to say about Lord Lu: This Du Zhenghai dared to openly stab the palace in the lobby, which shows that he is rampant and vicious, and there is no king's law, Lord Lu must be dealt with strictly, and must not be tolerated and connived. ”

Lu Wenzheng said: "Thank you, Lord Hou, for a lot; As for Du Zhenghai's case, the government will find out the truth and enforce the law impartially, although this Hou Ye can rest assured. ”

He Yuting said: "That's good." There is still something in the palace, so I will leave first. ”

"Congratulations to Master Hou."

However, it was said that He Yuting and Ding Jinzhi left the Shangshu Mansion of the Criminal Department in frustration and returned to the Hou Ye's Mansion.

After sitting down, Ding Jinzhi asked He Yuting: "Brother He, why don't you hold that little Taoist priest accountable for assassinating you?" ”

He Yuting said: "What else to pursue, isn't everything already clear, that spiritual Taoist is Du Zhenghai, the son of the Ge family." Why else would he hate me so much? He can do anything to kill me! ”

Ding Jinzhi said: "So what do you think of my brother? ”

He Yuting said: "Kill and extinguish." He talked nonsense in front of Lu Wenzheng and ruined the reputation of the palace. ”

Ding Jinzhi: "Then we don't have to peddle this case now, and we don't have to let Xiangluo testify?" ”

"Nonsense! If Du Zhenghai is dead, then what is the strength of Lu Wenzheng's case? Where do we need to bother to testify? ”

Ding Jinzhi said with a smile: "Brother He is still knowledgeable, and the younger brother admires it." ”

He Yuting said: "Brother Xian, this matter will be handled by you." In order to prevent a lot of dreams at night, this matter should be as soon as possible, so let's arrange it tonight! I heard that the newly invited martial artists in your mansion are all strong in martial arts, so you must arrange it properly! ”

Ding Jinzhi said: "The little brother must do his best to handle this matter, but ...... That Ling Yun was a little difficult to deal with. ”

He Yuting said coldly: "Isn't it just a Lingyun, it's worth your brainstorm?" When the time comes, you just need to arrange for someone to find a way to lure him away. ”

Ding Jinzhi said yes again and again. Seeing that there was nothing else to do, he exchanged a few words of greeting and then said goodbye and went home.

Sending Ding Jinzhi away, He Yuting only felt weak, and he fell asleep very early that night.

Before going to bed, he remembered and asked, "What about Qi'er?" ”

Princess Changqing said unhappily: "Qi'er, why don't you care about Lin'er?" ”

He Yuting said: "Who said that the palms and backs of the hands are all meat." ”

"Hmph, that's a nice thing to say! ...... "A woman is a woman, and he doesn't bother to listen to the rambling words below."

To be honest, I don't know why, for this long-lost son, he has never burst out with the true love of father and son.

Maybe it's because we haven't seen each other for many years and our flesh and blood have become estranged? Or something else? …… In short, he couldn't tell why.

Although his son behaved decently, and was humble and filial to him, so that no one in the house could praise him, and he felt relieved in his eyes, he could not generate a heartfelt joy.

He thought in a daze, and gradually, everything went into a trance.

In the dimness, he saw the cold light of the blade stabbing at him; Next was Ling Yun's handsome and tough face, and his eyes were full of eyes......

Shocked back to a thousand miles of dreams. He sat up suddenly, only to hear the autumn insects outside the window still chirping and singing, and seeing that the evergreen princess next to him was still asleep, he had to lie down again.

The same dream reappeared. Ling Yun's flickering figure and piercing eyes were always lingering in his mind.

When he woke up for the last time, he scolded very worriedly: "What a hell! ”

Princess Evergreen didn't sleep well all night after being tossed by him, and asked irritably, "What's wrong with you tonight?" ”

He Yuting said: "I can't tell you clearly, I always dream of Lingyun tonight, and I don't know what kind of mold I hit?" ”

"Lingyun, who is Lingyun?"

"It's Ling Zhichao, the guard commander under Lu Wenzheng."

Princess Evergreen said: "Probably because you have dealt with him too much during the day, do you think about it day and night, stop thinking about it, sleep!" ”

He Yuting sighed and had to lie down again.

But he still couldn't sleep, and he was now beginning to worry about the situation of the assassins sent by Ding Jinzhi to the Lu Mansion.

said that Lu Wenzheng sent away He Yuting, Ding Jinzhi and others; After sending someone to remand the soul in prison, he summoned Lu Fu Wuying to investigate the cause of the murder weapon carried by the soul in the lobby.

Knowing that the responsibility for this matter lay with Dong Wu, he couldn't help but be angry and asked Xu Zhi: "Mr. Xu, how should the crime of dereliction of duty be punished according to the law?" ”

Xu Zhidao: "The crime of dereliction of duty is punished by the rod of fifty, but one please read Dong Wu is the first offense; Second, because of the timely remedy, it did not cause a major disaster, so I only ask the adults to forgive him this time, and I will not take it as an example. ”

Lu Wenzheng's face sank and said: "The law is not merciful. Mr. Xu, if the government bends the law this time and lets him go, how will it be able to convince the public? What should I do if something like this happens again in the future?

"Although it didn't cause a major disaster this time, it was thanks to Commander Ling's timely response. The government has always had clear rewards and punishments, and the order went on: for Ling Commander to remember a great merit, and reward half a year of silver; Someone came, pushed Dong Wu out of the door, and scolded fifty with a cane! ”

Ling Yun said: "Slow down, adult. Ling Yun would rather not want an adult's reward, only ask the adult to let Dong Wu go this time! ”

Lu Wenzheng said angrily: "How can this be reasonable, the two of you are meritorious, and you are wrong, how can you generalize?" Needless to say, let's step aside! ”

The crowd didn't dare to say more, so they had to retreat.

Ling Yun left Lu Wenzheng's study and walked out, only to see Dong Wu with a depressed face, supported by two attendants, limping from behind, colliding with him.

Ling Yun asked with concern, "Dong Wu, what do you think?" ”

Dong Wu said coldly: "Commander Tuo Ling's blessing, the junior brother can't die for the time being." ”

Ling Yun knew that he had misunderstood him, so he only felt a chill in his heart and said, "Dong Wu, in fact, when you were tortured, everyone was very upset. The brothers have already interceded in front of Lord Lu, but the adults are not allowed to ......"

Dong Wudao: "Yes, it's rare for everyone to bother so much, then I'm grateful." It's just that I don't know where people know their faces, and I don't know what some people think in their hearts. ”

Ling Yun said angrily, "What do you mean by this? ”

Dong Wudao: "I'm like this, how dare I mean anything, I can't compare to you Ling Commander, the spring breeze is proud, and the eight sides are exquisite, since I have won the reward and accepted it, why make a flattered posture to grandstand?" ”

Ling Yunqi's sword eyebrows raised, and he said, "You, you are simply the heart of a villain!" ”

Dong Wu smiled: "Yes, I am a villain, how can I compare to those hypocrites who are pretentious." In fact, the most hateful thing in the world is not the real villain, but the hypocrite! With that, he snorted and walked away.
