said that Mrs. Ruan, because of Yu Qingcheng's matter, was involved in Ling Yun's marriage again, and urged Ling Yun to get married as soon as possible; and said that in addition to Linglong, he also fell in love with a girl for him.

Ling Yun had no choice but to ask absentmindedly who it was?

Mrs. Ruan said, "Miss Lu." ”

Ling Yun almost squirted out a mouthful of rice: "She? …… Mother, how did you think of her? ”

Mrs. Ruan said: "My mother can see that she has come to you several times and is very attentive to you. ”

Ling Yun smiled bitterly: "She is her heart for her own affairs!"

Mrs. Ruan said: "Of course, she is concerned about her own affairs!" I think you're a good match for her; Besides, she is the daughter of Shangshu Mansion, and you are a close confidant of Lord Lu, if one day you can really become Lord Lu's son-in-law, wouldn't it be the icing on the cake? ”

Ling Yun thought to himself: Why is my mother so snobbish? It's not good to disobey my mother's will, so I put down my job and said, "Let's talk about this another day!" There are still a lot of things to do in the house today, if I delay any longer, I am afraid that I will be reprimanded by Lord Lu again, mother, I will go first. With that, he got up and left.

Madame Ruan looked at his back, shook her head helplessly, and sighed, "Alas! This kid is always so in a hurry all day long......"

Besides, Lu Wenzheng is discussing Xiao Yongnian's case with Xu Zhi. At this time, the two thought of one person at the same time: Jiang Chun.

Jiang Chun testified at the time that the assassin had been chased to the end of his rope, and before he died, he said that he was organized by the Heavenly Owl and that he was instructed by the Yuan Zhen Taoist.

Now, it has been found out that Xiao Yongnian and Ouyang Zhen are the killers of the Tianxiao Organization, and they are related to the assassination of Ding Jiwu, doesn't it prove that Jiang Chun is committing perjury?

But why did he commit perjury, and by whom?

Lu Wenzheng instructed Yang Zhen to go to Dingfu to arrest Jiang Chun and confront him.

Yang Zhen came to Dingfu with the dragon and phoenix jade talisman to explain his intention.

When Ding Jinzhi heard this, he only admitted that he was unlucky, and reluctantly ordered the housekeeper Ding Yurong to call Jiang Chun.

After a while, Ding Yurong turned around, and said with a sad face: "Master, Captain Yang, Jiang Chun is not in the mansion." According to his little servant, he went out last night and hasn't come back yet. ”

Did he abscond? Ding Jinzhi had a sad face, but he just sighed, hating himself for not checking the use of people, and actually leading this wolf with ambition to cause trouble in the house.

Yang Zhen had to go back to his home to resume his life. Lu Wenzheng was so angry that he slapped the case and said, "It seems that there is really something wrong with this Jiang Chun!" ”

So he ordered Ling Yun, Yang Zhen, Yuan and others to arrest the suspects Jiang Chun and Ouyang Zhen separately.

Lu Qiuyue also heard about Jiang Chun from Caiming and Xiuming, and couldn't help but feel worried.

Thinking about the awkwardness she had with Ling Yun before, she really didn't want to go to him; When I asked Yuan Ping, Yuan Ping had already set off.

went to find Yang Zhen, Yang Zhen felt that the matter was very important, so he vaguely and flickeringly prevaricated and slipped away, so angry that Lu Qiuyue only stomped her feet.

As for her father and Xu Zhi, she was even more difficult to ask.

"I'm too bored today, I complain about the hearts, I complain about the plantains, and I complain about the Spring Festival......"

Lu Qiuyue sat alone in the back garden in a distraught mood, caressing Yaoqin, and stroking her voice.

The annoying spring breeze ruffled her messy hair, and she only felt melancholy.

The guqin is too vulgar and old, and the new tunes are unfamiliar and unplayable. She was so upset that she simply dropped the piano, and in the clanging sound, the strings broke and the piano was destroyed.

Someone behind him suddenly snorted.

Lu Qiuyue was stunned, thinking it was an illusion, but the brilliance of the copper furnace candle had pulled a person's shadow closer to her.

Lu Qiuyue looked back suddenly, almost fainting. The person standing behind him turned out to be Jiang Chun!

She suddenly thought, this is not a little clear, just now she was thinking about him, and now he really appeared in front of her.

"Miss." Jiang Chun shouted in a low voice.

Lu Qiuyue calmed down and said in a stern tone: "What are you doing here?" ”

Jiang Chun said in a low voice: "I'm here to say goodbye to Miss." ”

"Farewell, where are you going?"

Jiang Chun said sadly: "Another world." ”

Lu Qiuyue didn't come back for a while, "What? ”

Jiang Chun said: "Miss, I was sorry for you at the beginning, I shouldn't have made perjury. Now I'm in a dilemma, and there's no way out. ”

Lu Qiuyue said: "How can there be no way out?" All you have to do is tell the truth in front of my father, and you can make up for it. At that time, my father will forgive you without me interceding. ”

Jiang Chun said: "It's just that how can I betray my second brother and sister-in-law?" When my second brother and sister-in-law conspired to assassinate Ding Jiwu, I found out, and they prayed in every possible way, begging me not to tell the story, as a righteous brother, can I betray my friends? ”

Lu Qiuyue said: "But they are members of the Heavenly Owl Organization, do you know? ”

Jiang Chun sighed and said, "I only found out about this after the fact. That's why I don't dare to say it, because if this leaks out, they will die immediately! I have a brotherly relationship with them, and after thinking about it again and again, I can only be sorry for Miss first. Miss, can you forgive me? ”

Lu Qiuyue was stunned for a moment and said, "If you can change your mind, tell the truth, and testify in the lobby......

Jiang Chun said bitterly: "Impossible! If I testify against my second brother, will I not cause him to die? I...... I can't do that......"

Lu Qiuyue said: "Jiang Chun, why are you so stubborn? You can't bear to testify against him, can you bear to watch my father get convicted? ”

Jiang Chun said miserably: "So I'm in a dilemma, and there is no way out...... Miss, look there's someone over there! ”

Lu Qiuyue looked back; Jiang Chun sighed lightly, and suddenly pulled out his long sword and wiped it on his neck!

Lu Qiuyue came back to her senses and couldn't help but be shocked. She rushed forward desperately, grabbed the hilt of his sword with both hands, and cried, "Jiang Chun! Jiang Chun! ……”

Her movements were a little too late, Jiang Chun's long sword had already slashed on her neck, and blood was gushing like a spring; His body shook and fell.

Lu Qiuyue shook him desperately, and said with tears like rain: "Jiang Chun, why are you doing this, why?" ……”

Jiang Chun said weakly: "I can't be sorry for them, let alone you...... Miss, I'm ......"

With all his might, he raised his hand tremblingly, and landed weakly on his chest.

"Jiang Chun, you can't die, you can't die......" Lu Qiuyue muttered. Suddenly she remembered something, and cried out, "Come on!" Come on......"

Her cry alarmed the girl; Cai Ming quickly found Yuan Ping, who was on duty.

Yuan Fangcai had already heard the general idea from Cai Ming's intermittent narration, and then asked, "Jiang Chun, what do you think now?" You hold on first, I've already arranged for someone to go to the doctor! ”

Jiang Chun was so angry that he couldn't speak, just trembling and pointing at his chest.

Yuan Ping looked at him blankly, confused. He tentatively and gently removed Jiang Chun's hand, there seemed to be something in his arms.

Yuan Ping couldn't help but feel a shock in his heart, and his hands trembled as he took out the thing. It turned out to be a brocade letter, which had been stained red with blood.

He unfolded it cautiously, and hurriedly browsed it, and couldn't help but be overjoyed. It turned out that this was a confession from Jiang Chun:

"A man is about to die, but his words are good. I know my crimes, but I don't report them, and I harbor and shield criminals, and the law is intolerable.

"But the alliance of righteousness, brotherhood, can be betrayed; Sell friends for glory, and the world spurns. When I am in a dilemma, when I am in a dilemma, I can only repay him with death.

"When a person dies, he knows what happens after death, and no matter what the world says, everything will be empty......"

Here is his confession.

In the confession, it started with the feud between Ding Jiwu and Xiao Yongnian at the beginning; It wasn't until Xiao Yongnian saw Ding Jiwu return to the capital, that he was afraid that the narrow road would make him unable to accommodate him, so he had a bad idea and made the first move.

and because Xiao Yongnian's staff injury had not healed at that time, he asked his wife Ouyang Zhen to do the work for him, and bribed Fang Xiaohei and Zhang Lin'er to kill people at the banquet in Yuxian Pool;

Later, Ouyang Zhen killed people and killed all those involved in the matter with hibiscus flower poison......

Jiang Chun stated in his confession that he went to chase the Assassin as he fled and witnessed Fang Xiaohei being killed by Ouyang Zhen with a poison dart.

But at that time, he didn't know that she was a member of the Heavenly Owl Organization, and it wasn't until Yuan Ping asked a master to identify the hibiscus flower poison that he realized.

But because he couldn't bear to hurt them because of his affection for his second brother and sister-in-law, he kept concealing it, so that today's disaster happened......

Yuan Ping looked at Jiang Chun's confession carefully, thinking about everything.

At this time, several guards had also hurried to the palace with the doctor in the house.

Lu Wenzheng, Xu Zhi and others already knew about it. Listening to Yuan Ping's report on tonight's events and presenting Jiang Chun's confession and confession, both of them felt that something happened suddenly.

After reviewing the confession repeatedly, Lu Wenzheng handed it to Xu Zhi again.

Xu Zhi couldn't see any flaws for a while.

Lu Wenzheng called Dr. Ma, who had treated Jiang Chun, and asked him how Jiang Chun's injuries were.

Doctor Ma said: "He was seriously injured, if it wasn't for the young lady who stopped him in time, I'm afraid he would have died for a long time!" Now we can only do our best and resign ourselves to God's will. ”

Lu Wenzheng twisted his beard and groaned, and sent Doctor Ma down.

Yuan Ping said: "Jiang Chunzhong is brave and brave, and he deserves to be an iron-clad man!" It is touching to see him die today; If such a person can do things for us......"

Xu Zhidao: "Captain Yuan, what you said is a bit premature. ”

Yuan Ping was stunned for a moment and looked at him with some suspicion.

Xu Zhi didn't say anything more, just said: "But fortunately, there is still Jiang Chun's confession; It would be better if he could survive the catastrophe - because then all the problems would be solved! ”

Lu Wenzheng nodded.

Without further ado, Lu Wenzheng immediately ordered the guards on both sides to go up to the court to inquire about the case.

Master Lu ordered someone to escort Xiao Yongnian to the lobby and asked, "Xiao Yongnian, now that Jiang Chun has testified that you assassinated Ding Jiwu in Yuxian Pool in order to avenge your personal revenge, what else do you have to say now?" ”

Xiao Yongnian couldn't believe his ears, "What, Jiang Chun? ……”

Lu Wenzheng instructed Yang Zhen to show him Jiang Chun's confession.

Xiao Yongnian glanced through the ten lines at a glance, and his face immediately turned pale. He didn't believe that a friend like Jiang Chun, a sworn brother of his own, would betray him so ruthlessly?

Lu Wenzheng said: "Now, don't you confess?" ”

Xiao Yongnian said: "I want to see Jiang Chun, I want to confront him!" ”

Lu Wenzheng said: "In order to fulfill your brotherhood of living and dying together, he has already cut himself. ”

Xiao Yongnian was stunned for a while. What can he quibble about now?

At this time, he only complained one thing: Jiang Chun, you are too stupid, why do you have to fulfill the righteousness of a brother after betraying me?

He couldn't understand what cunning and despicable means the people of the Shangshu Mansion of the Criminal Department used to force Jiang Chun to comply?

But now it's useless to complain about anything; When the guards brought Xu Zhi's written confession to him, he could only draw his own confession blankly.

Lu Wenzheng ordered someone to take Xiao Yongnian back to the prison, and then jointly adjudicate Ouyang Zhen after he was caught.

After the trial of the case, Lu Wenzheng came to the court. Accompanied by Xu Zhi, he was going to see how Jiang Chun was doing.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw Lu Qiuyue sitting on the side with a sad expression, her temples were half off, her eyes were red, and she had not seen her for a day. Cai Ming and Xiu Ming looked at each other on the side.

Lu Wenzheng was unhappy in his heart, thinking that this girl was too unorthodox, what did she do here alone? Wouldn't it be shameful to make people laugh when they saw it.

Then he ordered the two girls to serve the young lady first.

Lu Qiuyue was dissatisfied, but she didn't dare to disobey her father's wishes, so she snorted angrily and left without looking back.

Lu Wenzheng saw that Jiang Chun's face was bloodless and he was just unconscious, so he asked Doctor Ma: "How is his injury now, is it better?" ”

Doctor Ma said: "Fortunately, the sword is slightly shallower in the neck, otherwise he would have died; The old man will spare no effort to save him, and as for the result, we can only wait for twelve hours to see the results! ”

Lu Wenzheng pouted lightly. If Jiang Chun really died like this, wouldn't it be a pity?

It's not just that he needs this person to testify again, and it's not just that he needs someone like him in his Lu Mansion.

Lu Wenzheng and Xu Zhi went out of the door, looking up at the sky, it was already the moon rising in the east and the lanterns were just beginning to be on.

Xu Zhidao: "My lord, it's time for dinner, right?" ”

Lu Wenzheng said: "No, go to the prison of the Criminal Department first." ”

Xu Zhi and Lu Wenzheng can be said to have a heart-to-heart connection, and as soon as they heard the string song, they knew the meaning of elegance, so they and Lu Wenzheng rushed straight to the prison where Xiao Yongnian was imprisoned.

Before the two of them approached the prison door, they heard Dong Wu shout: "There are assassins!" Leaving behind the two guards who had come with him, he skimmed southwest as if he were flying.

Xu looked at Lu Wenzheng and asked the two guards, "What's the matter?" ”
