Ling Yun was pouring himself a drink at the table in the elegant seat on the second floor of Zhengyang Building, when a young man in black came up from downstairs, walked up to him, smiled at him and said to him, "Commander Ling, it's been a long time. ”

When Ling Yun saw someone coming, he couldn't help but be surprised and delighted: "Oh? It's you?! ......" hurriedly got up and arched his hand at the other party and said, "Brother Du, please take a seat!" ”

The person who came was Du Zhenghai.

Du Zhenghai's smiling eyes glanced at him, and said in a somewhat playful tone: "Commander Ling is really leisurely, and he is in the mood to have a pastime here." Why, isn't there any official business in the house? ”

Ling Yun smiled a little tiredly between his eyebrows, and said lazily: "It is precisely because the affairs of the house are too cumbersome these days that I am dizzy and annoyed; That's why I sneaked out to breathe. - Come, Brother Du, have a drink. As he spoke, he poured a glass of wine and handed it over.

Du Zhenghai did not shirk, took the cup and drank it all.

Ling Yun said with a smile: "Life must be happy, don't make the golden bottle empty to the moon." ”

Du Zhenghai's cunning eyes flashed: "Isn't Commander Ling surprised to come here without any presumption?" ”

Ling Yun's eyebrows frowned slightly, "Yes." There are many enemies of Brother Du in the capital, and if there is nothing very important, I don't think Brother Du will come here again. What is there that needs Ling's effect, Brother Du just has to say. ”

Du Zhenghai restrained his uninhibited demeanor, and said: "The parents of those who gave birth to me, and Brother Ling of the one who knows me." Brother Ling is really quick to talk, and the little brother doesn't have to beat around the bush anymore. ”

So, he told Ling Yun in detail about Ding Jiwu's occupation of the people's daughter and Mo Shuiling's lawsuit in Beijing.

After hearing this, Ling Yun raised his sword eyebrows and said angrily: "This Ding Jiwu is too ridiculous to do things. A few days ago, the Criminal Department received several complaints against him in a row, either for corruption and bribery, or for bullying people and taking land, Lord Lu was waiting to investigate him, but he didn't expect him to do this kind of dehumanizing deed, I think he, the prefect of Zhongmu, has done it! ”

He paused slightly, and then said, "By the way, where is the woman who sued him now, can Brother Du introduce him on his behalf?" ”

Ling Yun's words were right in Du Zhenghai's heart, he raised his eyebrows, and said happily: "She lives in an inn in the east of the city, Brother Ling, please come with me!" ”

The two have always acted neatly and neatly, never procrastinating; At that moment, Du Zhenghai took Ling Yun and hurriedly came to the inn where Mo Shuiling was.

As soon as he entered the door, Du Zhenghai said, "Miss Mo, guess who I invited?" ”

Mo Shuiling looked up and down at the noble, elegant, handsome young officer in front of him, a rippling sparkle flashed in his originally cold and detached eyes, and he said in surprise: "You...... Are you Ling Daxia? ”

Du Zhenghai couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, "What, you know each other?" ”

Ling Yun's thin lips lifted a shallow smile, "It's just a one-sided relationship." ”

Mo Shuiling hurriedly stepped forward at this time and bowed down to Ling Yunpiao, "Engong is above, please accept the little girl's worship." ”

Du Zhenghai was stunned by their actions, and said strangely: "Engong, why did another Engong appear?" What the hell is going on? ”

Mo Shuiling briefly talked about the fact that the Yu family gathered Lingyun to rescue Mo Laohan on the cliff and help them find the Lingzhi.

Du Zhenghai couldn't help but smile heartily when he heard this: "It turns out that you are old acquaintances, why have I never heard the two of you mention these things?" ”

As he spoke, he narrowed his narrow eyes, and said gloomily with a bit of thick vinegar: "Say, what is the ulterior between the two of you, and you haven't recruited it from the truth!" ”

Ling Yun laughed at him, raised his hand and knocked on his head, "When did Brother Du become so poor-mouthed and poor-tongued!" ”

Everyone couldn't help but laugh.

Finally, Ling Yun was the first to stop laughing, his handsome face returned to his original dignified and clear expression, and said in a deep voice: "Okay, let's get down to business now and discuss how to avenge the complaint." ”……

No further ado.

Ling Yun brought Mo Shuiling to see Lu Wenzheng. Of course, Du Zhenghai can't show his face, because he is still a wanted criminal by the government.

In the process of dealing with the government, Ling Yun and Mo Shuiling also tacitly controlled their tone and carefully deleted many plots involving Du Zhenghai.

said that Mo Shuiling, after seeing Master Lu, knelt on the ground, told his sister's grievances with tears, and then presented the blood letter.

After hearing this, Lord Lu couldn't help but be indignant and said, "It's really unreasonable! This Ding Jiwu is the father and wife of the people, not only does he not want to be loyal to the monarch and serve the country and benefit the people, but he relies on the power of the fish and meat in the township, occupies the people's daughters, and causes people's lives. Miss Mo, don't worry, this government will definitely find out the truth, seek justice for you, and avenge your sister! ”

Mo Shuiling was grateful, prostrated herself on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly, whimpering: "Lord Lu's great kindness, the little woman will not be able to repay her as a cow or a horse in the next life...... In the end, she couldn't cry.

Lu Wenzheng really did things decisively, and he immediately sent Xu Zhi and Yang Zhen to Zhongmu Mansion overnight to investigate and collect evidence.

Xu Zhi and Yang Zhen, as the backbone elites of the Shangshu Mansion of the Criminal Department, were extremely efficient, and through a few days of open investigation and covert visits, they quickly found strong evidence and mastered many effective clues.

Then Yang Zhen stayed in Zhongmu Mansion to continue to monitor Ding Jiwu's whereabouts; Xu Zhi returned to Beijing non-stop to resume his life.

Lu Wenzheng is very appreciative of the vigorous and resolute style of the two.

"It's just the next step," Lu Wenzheng groaned, then turned his face to Xu Zhidao, "Mr. Xu thinks we should act more prudently?" ”

Xu Zhi lowered his head and thought for a while: "The student thinks that the Ding Mansion is extremely powerful, and He Yuting is the backer, if the adults openly interrogate and dispose of Ding Jiwu with great fanfare, Ding Jinzhi and He Yuting will definitely interfere and obstruct in every way; Therefore, in order to avoid extraneous complications and save a lot of unnecessary trouble, it is better for adults to come by surprise and strike first. ”

"Mr. Xu has a point." Lu Wenzheng nodded approvingly, but frowned again and said: "It's just that Ding Jiwu is far away in Zhongmu, if we send people and horses to go, it will be a surprise......

Xu Zhizhuo's eyes flickered, he looked at Lu Wenzheng with a smile, and said meaningfully: "What if we can ask the Holy Lord to summon him back to Beijing?" ”

Lu Wenzheng is naturally quick-minded, and he can see through it at one point; After listening to Xu Zhi's point, he couldn't help frowning, groaning slightly, and already had an idea in his heart......

The Imperial Palace, the Palace of Nourishing the Heart. Emperor Zhao Yu was playing chess leisurely with the crown prince Zhao Ting at this time.

At this time, Feng Chaoying, the head of the inner house, came in and reported: "Shengshang, outside, Lord Lu brought a people's daughter, saying that there is a very important matter that he wants to meet with Shengshang. ”

Zhao Ting blinked his big black eyes, and said curiously: "With a people's girl, why is this?" ”

Feng Chaoying said: "Listening to Lord Lu, that woman seems to be wronged......

Without waiting for the emperor to answer, Zhao Ting had already clapped his hands and said, "It's fun, it's fun, let them in!" ”

"Yes." Feng Chaoying responded respectfully, turned around and went out.

The emperor's majestic gaze glared at Zhao Ting, and he said with some displeasure: "Ting'er, don't do this again in the future." ”

Zhao Ting stuck out his tongue and said, "Yes, the retainers obey the order." ”

Suddenly, Lu Wenzheng and Mo Shuiling were led in by Feng Chaoying.

When Zhao Ting saw Mo Shuiling, his eyes immediately widened. This woman in front of you is so beautiful! I saw a pair of sheared eyes under her curved willow eyebrows, black and white, like a shining autumn wave, like a bright star, inadvertently only a slight turn, just like a floating green pill, only to provoke people's hearts like a pool of rippling spring water gently rippled.

Although her clothes are simple and unpretentious, they can't hide her natural beauty; She is graceful, graceful, like a budding white orchid, dignified and beautiful, unpretentious.

Zhao Ting couldn't help but be deeply moved by her beauty and innocence. He involuntarily ran over, took Mo Shuiling's hand, his eyes flashed with envious little stars, and said with a bit of nymphocy: "Oh sister, you look so good!" It's three points more beautiful than Chang'e in the Moon Palace! ”

Mo Shuiling blushed delicately and lowered her eyelids in a sneer.

When Feng Chaoying introduced her outside the main hall, he had already told her that the emperor and the crown prince were playing chess; Mo Shuiling Bingxue was smart, and at a glance, he knew that this fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy must be the prince, so he lowered his head and bowed down: "The people's daughter Mo Shuiling greets His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

Zhao Ting's smart eyes flickered, "It turns out that my sister's name is 'Shui Ling'?" What a beautiful name. water, looking through the water of autumn water; Spirit, the spirit of Zhong Lingxiu, is really as good as his name, his name is beautiful, and his sister's person is even more beautiful! ”

Emperor Zhao Yu was also looking at the beautiful woman in front of him at this time. There are three thousand beauties in the palace, and beauty is beautiful, but how can anyone be as otherworldly, pure and elegant as the woman in front of him?

After living in the deep palace for a long time, he was already tired of the heavy makeup and pretentiousness of those vulgar powders in the palace, and was deeply moved by the natural beauty of the beauty in front of him. He couldn't help but think of two poems of the ancients: clear water out of hibiscus, natural carving...

He only thought about what was wrong, and did not speak for a long time; Feng Chaoying coughed twice in a row, reminding the emperor if he had lost his temper.

The emperor came back to his senses and covered up his embarrassment by blaming Zhao Ting, "Emperor, don't be rude, don't retreat!" ”

Zhao Ting grimaced and went down.

Lu Wenzheng and Mo Shuiling knelt on the ground, see the current saint.

The emperor said: "Lord Lu, Miss Mo, don't be polite." Miss Mo, tell me about your grievances. ”

With tears in her eyes, Mo Shuiling told her sister Mo Qiuling's grievances, and then presented the blood letter with trembling hands.

The emperor turned his face and asked Lu Wenzheng: "Lord Lu, is that so?" ”

Lu Wenzheng said: "After receiving Miss Mo's certificate, Weichen sent someone to Zhongmu Mansion overnight to investigate and collect evidence, and now the evidence is conclusive; Not only that, but Ding Jiwu, the prefect of the Mu Prefecture, is also involved in corruption and bribery, flesh and blood in the township, and the suspicion of seizing people's land, and Wechen is further investigating and implementing. ”

When the emperor heard this, he couldn't help but be furious, and he slapped the case and said: "If this Ding Jiwu is really like this, wouldn't he be innocent of death, and he will also live up to my expectations and trust in him!" Manager Feng, immediately brush up a holy decree, dismiss Ding Jiwu from his post for investigation, and escort him back to Beijing to be handed over to the Criminal Department for trial! ”
