"How could something like this happen? How could Yingying's good and decent people be arrested by the people of the Criminal Division?! ”

"The slave maid is not very clear, but today a notice was posted at the city gate saying that Miss Yingying is one of the culprits in the grain and grass corruption case, and has been arrested by the Criminal Division, and there is a culprit in the forbidden army being pursued."

"Yingying has always lived in a simple place, how can it be involved in these things?"

Zhou Yuwan hurriedly walked towards the gate of Fuzhong. Suddenly, she paused, and the man she had seen in Wanfangyuan that day flashed in her mind.

She was clever and quickly linked the man to the affair.

"It's him, it must be him! He was the one who hurt the warbler! Zhou Yuwan was so angry that the corners of her eyes were red, her nose was sour, and she wanted to cry.

There is no entry or exit in a place like the Criminal Division, and the prisoners who are locked there inevitably have to shed their skin! She was worried that Zuo Yingying's heart would become even heavier.

The master and servant walked quickly to the compound, and in front of them was the gate of the mansion, and a stern shout came from behind them when they were about to leave the mansion.

"Changjing!" Zhou Lingshen didn't know when he appeared in the compound and called out to Zhou Yuwan

She turned around and asked Zhou Ling for peace, saying, "My daughter has seen her father and mother. ”

"You are not allowed to leave the house today." Zhou Lingshen said bluntly as soon as he opened his mouth, without giving Zhou Yuwan any chance to refute.

Zhou Yuwan opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but her mother was on the side to mention her like this.

"Changjing, listen to your father's words, don't leave the house today, anything in the capital in the future has nothing to do with you."

Zhou Yuwan guessed that her father and mother probably already knew about Wan Fangyuan, and she stayed here to prevent her from going to Zuo Yingying, so as to clear up the relationship and not wade into troubled waters.

"Father, mother. Changjing doesn't understand, why can't I rescue my friend when he is wronged? He even asked his father and mother to wait here to warn his daughter. ”

The couple were shocked when they heard Zhou Yuwan's words, and they remembered that this was the first time their daughter had argued with them about right and wrong.

Although Zhou Lingshen was a little annoyed, he was quite sensible and explained to her bitterly.

"Zuo Yingying's matter is not as simple as you seem, and my father doesn't want you to have any contact with the person who was convicted. Chang Jing, be obedient, and break off this so-called friendship with Zuo Yingying as soon as possible. ”

Zhou Yuwan was not convinced, and knelt down in front of Zhou Lingshen. Seeing that the master was kneeling, Ah Ruo also followed closely behind, and bent his body deeply, kneeling deeper than Zhou Yuwan.

"The father forgives the sin, and the daughter does not agree with the father's words."

"Changjing, you can't talk to your father like this!" Fang Clan was a little anxious.

Zhou Yuwan didn't plan to just obey her parents' words and turn around and go back to the house, she had to go to the Criminal Division, even if she glanced at Zuo Yingying from afar.

"Father, since you were a child, you have taught your daughter to know how to be a person, to make friends with heart, and to make friends with love. My daughter has always kept it in mind. When I was a child, my daughter was often bullied by other ladies of the kings and nobles because of her weak temperament, and it was Yingying who stood up to protect me. This friendship is precious, and my daughter dare not forget it! Uncle Zuo was convicted and died, and it was a pity that Yingying was buried in Wanfangyuan, why should the fault of the elders be borne by the children? I don't accept it! ”

"You!" Zhou Lingshen was really angry this time.

He pointed at Zhou Yuwan, but was choked by these words. Fang Shi hurriedly grabbed his arm and said something in his mouth, just wanting Zhou Lingshen to dissipate his anger.

Zhou Lingshen sighed, finally adjusted his tone, and then said: "So you are determined to get involved in this matter?" ”

"Yingying is a friend of her daughter, and friends are in trouble to be friends. Father, once you believe your daughter, Yingying will never do such a thing, she must have been bewitched by the real murderer! ”

"Even so? Changjing, Zuo Yingying has been arrested and imprisoned, how can you not know where the Criminal Division is, and besides, she was personally arrested by His Royal Highness King Yong, listen to her mother's words and go back to the house first, and don't leave the house at will in the near future. ”

"Mother, I ......"

Zhou Yuwan wanted to say something more, but was ruthlessly interrupted by Zhou Lingshen.

"Alright, hurry back to your room! What is the reason for a girl who has not been out of the cabinet to run out all day long. A-ro! Look at the eldest lady, if you let me know that she sneaked out, I will ask you! ”

Ah Ruo trembled and immediately agreed.

"It's the general! The slave will definitely be optimistic about the young lady. ”

"Father! Mother! Zhou Yuwan knelt down the cold bluestone slab and crawled forward, but she still didn't get Zhou Lingshen and Fang's turn back.

Ah Ruo hurriedly supported her and comforted: "Forget it, Miss, I'm afraid that the slave and maid are determined to ask you to make a choice between Miss Yingying and the Zhou family this time, it's useless for you to ask for it like this." Let's go back to the room first, and then slowly discuss how to meet Miss Yingying. ”

Zhou Yuwan raised her eyes and looked at Ah Ruo, but she had no choice but to compromise and choose to retreat.

Go to the capital and be imprisoned by the Criminal Division.

Li Jingwen stood in front of Zuo Yingying again, this time he did not interrogate her alone, but stood at the door of the cell just one door away.

Zuo Yingying stood in front of him, her face pale. Except for the golden hairpin and fandel, she is no longer the top brand in Wanfangyuan.

Li Jingwen stood with his hands in his hands and asked, "I wonder if Miss Yingying has thought it through?" Do you want to tell everything you know to strive for leniency, or do you plan to continue to cover for Liang truthfully and clear his name? ”

There was silence for a few moments, and Zuo Yingying finally turned to look at Li Jingwen.

"His Royal Highness King Yong, I have thought clearly. I'll tell you everything I know, but before I do that, I'm going to sue Liang Rutruth! I want to accuse him of abusing power for personal gain, embezzlement, bribery, disloyalty, uncleanness, and deception of official music! ”

Li Jingwen was obviously stunned, and when he looked at Zuo Yingying's extremely resolute face, he still kindly reminded him.

"Although Guanle is an official household, he takes the royal money, but he is a slave after all. Liang Rushi had participated in the scientific examination and entered Taixue for two years, and then he entered the Shoufu Mansion as a guest, and he was a bachelor in the end. The official music tells the bachelor that it is really overstepping, and you will suffer. ”

"I'm not afraid! As long as Liang can be punished as he deserves, even if I am allowed to die, I will be happy! The left warbler almost gritted its teeth.

She cried and knelt in front of Li Jingwen at once, and then kowtowed to him.

"Please also ask His Royal Highness King Yong to fulfill it!"

Li Jingwen frowned, but in the end he couldn't resist her.

"Yes, this king promises you. The king will immediately enter the palace to ask the imperial grandfather for an order, and this matter will be handled by the Department of Justice. No matter what the result is in three days, this king will definitely give you an answer. ”

Zuo Yingying smiled bitterly, "Thank you, Your Highness, for your success." ”

Li Jingwen quietly watched her bow to herself, and finally turned around and left the prison without saying anything.

……

In the study of General Zhou's mansion, Zhou Lingshen was still angry about what had just happened, and Fang quietly accompanied him to patiently explain.

"Don't be angry, the general is still young, and the teenage girl will naturally take friendship more seriously. We should be even more glad that Chang Jing is the person who values love and righteousness, which is also the result of the general's usual words and deeds. ”

"Don't comfort me, my own daughter is quite clear. It's not a good thing to be too emotional. As a father, I just hope she can be alone and stay away from all that! ”

"Yes, yes, I understand. It's just that Changjing is a child with ideas, and if you circle her like this and don't let her go out of the house, she will definitely contradict her. ”

Zhou Lingshen shook his head, "Zuo Yingying's matter is not so simple. Now His Majesty is vigorously picketing corruption and bribery in the DPRK and China, and everyone in the DPRK and China is in danger. This time, it was not easy to find out the culprit, how could Your Majesty easily let go of this great opportunity, and I didn't let Changjing get involved, it was also for the sake of our Zhou family. ”

Fang Clan was suspicious, "Did His Majesty reveal anything when the general entered the palace before?" ”

"Who is Your Majesty? After being an emperor all his life, how can we courtiers be allowed to peek into our hearts. ”

"Also to ......" way, and said: "But looking at the current form of the East Palace, I'm afraid they are also very weak." Our Royal Highness the Crown Prince has always been weak, and over the years, in addition to relying on the prestige of the eldest son King Yong, who is the princess's maiden family, the princess, in the court. ”

"Madame is very right. His Majesty's dragon body is getting worse and worse day by day, and the situation will definitely be unstable in the long run. At present, the East Palace is also looking forward to the successful handling of this corruption case, otherwise it will be difficult for the crown prince to establish the prestige of the courtiers when he ascends the throne in the future. ”

"The general is reasonable. I will send someone to take care of Changjing, so that she will not wade into this troubled water. ”

Fang Shi poured a cup of tea for Zhou Lingshen, and suddenly thought of something, she lowered her voice and asked, "General, ...... her?"

Zhou Lingshen also paused, and then said: "Don't worry, that girl has a lot of thoughts, and she may not really be missing." But we also have to continue to send people to find out so as not to reveal the flaws. ”

"The general is thoughtful, and she is also a smart girl, so she shouldn't have any major incidents." Fang said in a low voice, not knowing who he was talking about.

After the husband and wife finished talking, they had already twisted their hearts into a rope, and this time no one would look at Zhou Yuwan.

Zhou Yuwan was taken care of in the room and couldn't take a step, and she was already in a hurry.

She sat at the dresser, looking at herself in the bronze mirror in a daze. Suddenly, a creed wrapped in a pebble flew in from the window, and it happened to fall on the dresser. Zhou Yuwan was unguarded, a spirit.

She opened the creed, and only wrote "Sister" in it

This handwriting is thoughtful!

She abruptly got up, walked around the dresser, stood under the windowsill, and propped it all up.

Zhou Yichen finally showed a little face. She didn't hunch over and hide anymore, but stood generously outside the window.

"Yichen, why are you here?"

"I'm here to help Sister get out of the house smoothly." Zhou Yichen said with a smile, "I've heard everything Ah Ruo said, Sister don't worry, you wait for me tonight, I will stay in the room to deal with my father instead of Sister A, Sister just go out of the house." ”

"But it's going to hurt you!"

"I'm not afraid of being affected by my sister. I know that what Sister is going to do must be very important, I just stay in the room instead of you, as long as no one enters the house to check, I will never show my stuffing. Sister, don't worry, I'm so smart, I'm sure nothing will happen. ”

Zhou Yuwan was anxious, so she didn't think much about it, and really agreed to Zhou Yichen.

Zhou Yichen smiled, and hurriedly handed her the burden along the window, and instructed: "This burden is my clothes, just change it in, and I will walk away from the family at the door after dark." Sister A's body is similar to me and she will not be noticed at night, so Sister will walk through the back door, and Aruo will wait for you at the back door. ”

Zhou Yuwan clutched the burden in her hand and looked at Zhou Yichen very gratefully.
