Confusion of ideas.

Liu Jing closed his eyes and tidied up for a while, then stood up again and walked all the way out.

Steward Tao raised his eyes and saw him, and hurried up: "Master, do you still want to go out?" It's going to rain again."

"I don't care if it's raining." Liu Jing glanced at the sky.

Steward Tao had no choice, so he prepared a carriage according to Liu Jing's wishes.

The carriage went out of the house and went all the way to Guangde Temple.

By the time we arrived at the temple gate, the rain had already fallen, and the sky was as gloomy as the middle of the night.

The temple door was closed, and Liu Jing stepped forward and knocked.

After waiting for a while, a middle-aged monk opened the side door.

"Donor," he said, "it's getting late, come back tomorrow."

Liu Jing hurriedly took two steps forward: "Under the surname Liu, Liu Jing, the secretary of Honglu Temple, Neizi and Xiaonu have been living in the temple for a few days."

The monk glanced at Liu Jing a few times.

Liu Jing smiled bitterly, very helpless: "Something happened at home......

The monk thought about it and opened the door for Liu Jing.

He also heard about the Liu family's affairs, all of which were cause and effect.

But for parents, a son is also a son.

The monk took Liu Jing to the guest room.

Guangde Temple is full of incense, but it is located in the city, except for the pilgrims of the dojo, there are not many people who stay in the temple.

Xu Yi and Liu Huan lived in the northernmost room.

Liu Jing knocked on the door: "Madam, Ajuan, it's me."

When Mama Xia heard this, she hurriedly opened the door for Liu Jing.

Xu Yi sat behind the bookcase and copied the scriptures, Liu Huan studied ink for her, and when she saw Liu Jing coming, she put down the things in her hands one after another.

"You," Liu Wan looked at her father and said in surprise, "You came here in the rain?" It's all wet."

Xu Yi had already taken a handkerchief and wanted to wipe it for Liu Jing.

Liu Jing stopped Xu Yi and took the handkerchief: "It's all rain, I'll just wipe it myself, don't get wet, A'juan, help your mother sit down first."

Liu Wan was very obedient and helped Xu Yi to sit down according to her words.

Xu Yi didn't argue with Liu Jing about these trivial things, and after sitting down, she looked at her husband quietly by candlelight.

The old man looks tired, and this is inevitable.

The old man had a stubble on his chin, he used to pay a lot of attention to his appearance, and no matter how busy and hard he was, he would not do this.

The old man's eyes are obviously blue, and his sideburns are a little shiny.

Xu Yi looked at it intently, only to see clearly that it was a few white hairs.

I let out a long sigh in my heart.

It is said that children are debts, and parents are willing to bear these in their hearts.

But Xun'er's debt, they really can't afford it.

"How's the investigation in Suncheonfu?" Xu Yi handed the teacup to Liu Jing and asked softly.

Liu Jing also sat down, hung his shoulders, and shook his head slightly at the two of them: "This afternoon, Ah Jian and Commander Wan found two gold bricks in that house, which are related to Li Mi, the deposed prince of the first emperor."

Xu Yi was stunned.

Liu Huan couldn't tell the situation, and hurriedly asked, "What do you mean? Is it good or bad?"

"I went to Shuntian Mansion, I didn't see Ah Jian, I only chatted with Master Shan for a few words," Liu Jing pursed his lips, "Lord Shan persuaded me a few times, and I listened to the meaning of his words, which was to let us give up Xun'er." involved Li Mi, and affected the prince, Xun'er is afraid that he will ......."

Rao was mentally prepared, and when he heard these words, Xu Yi's eyes were still red.

"I know Xun'er is at fault, it's because we didn't teach him well, but he, he is my son after all," Liu Jing choked up, held Xu Yi's hand, and said, "I'm just a Honglu Siqing, I want to save him but I can't do anything, even Ah Jian can't do anything.

The country has its own laws, and Ajan has no choice.

Madame, I'm really conflicted.

I can't bear Xun'er, and I understand that Xun'er is ridiculously wrong, I, I ......."

Xu Yi's tears flowed down.

Liu Jing's every word was said to her

on the heart of the people.

The son who was born in October when he was pregnant with a child, no matter how much he was a bastard, he would still feel sorry for him and blame himself for not teaching him well.

Liu Huan also turned her head and sniffed.

She wanted to say, "My brother deserves it."

Her brother even hit her with bad ideas.

But after all, they are brothers and sisters, and watching Liu Xun die, it is impossible for her heart not to have a little wave.

Liu Jing raised his hand, wiped his eyes with the palm of his hand, stained with tears, and held Xu Yi's hand again.

Wet tears just fell on Xu Yi's hands, hot and hot.

"Think about my life, when I was young, I buried myself in studying, and after high school, I worked hard as an official, I thought that I had come out step by step, but I didn't expect Xun'er to be ......" Liu Jing's tears fell.

Sadness comes from there.

This grief is sincere and heartfelt.

"Suddenly, ma'am, I suddenly don't know what I've been tossing around for the last few decades."

Xu Yi wanted to explain him a few words, but he didn't know how to say the words when they came to his mouth.

She had listened to many comforts in the past two days.

Ah Jian, Ah Wa, the county lord, and Mama Xia took turns to relieve her.

She listened to it, but how did she say those words to the master?

She had to endure it for Ah Jian's sake and not make trouble for Ah Jian with Xun'er's affairs, but could the master listen to it?

Those big truths, the master must understand.

But in people's hearts, in addition to truth, there are also emotions.

There is no doubt that the master's father-son relationship with Xun'er is far better than that of Ah Jian.

Thinking like this, Xu Yi didn't say anything, just cried.

"I went home first just now, Xun'er and his daughter-in-law packed some things and clamored to go back to their parents' house, so I let her go."

"Their husband and wife have been married for a short time, and their relationship is like that, Xun'er has an accident, and it is normal for her to want to get rid of it."

"I may not be able to get it aside, I don't know, in the end, it depends on what the saint thinks."

"The Holy One will not spare Xun'er, the Holy One treats the prince with ......."

"I don't know what will happen to me, if the Holy One can be gracious, I will be demoted to the nest, or I will be stripped of my fame, if I don't be gracious, I will be exiled, or even lose my head......

Xu Yi's heart pounded when he heard this: "Master, don't say that, don't say that."

"Ah Jian went to face the saint in the afternoon, I wanted to ask him to see if there was any other news," Liu Jing said, "However, he probably can't tell me casually. Madame, I don't want to embarrass Arjan either. It's just that now, I really don't know what to do."

Xu Yi cried and said, "Ah Jian has a hard mouth and a soft heart, if he can intercede in front of the saint, he will definitely beg, if he can't......

Liu Jing didn't speak again for a long time.

With his understanding of Xu Yi, Madame's reaction was still a little flat.

Madame has a good temper and temperament, but she is in a hurry when she encounters something, and when she is in a hurry, she does not think so carefully.

Now, Madame endured patience, patience, and anxiety.

She loves Xun'er so much, loves him, loves this family, shouldn't be like this......

After quietly observing for a while, Liu Jing said, "I'm here to talk to the two of you, it's not too early, I'll go back first, and I'll go to court tomorrow."

Xu Yi wanted to send him away.

Liu Jing persuaded: "It's dark and it's raining again, so don't send it away."

Saying goodbye to the mother and daughter, Liu Jing walked outside the temple on the original road.

It was the monk who opened the side door for him.

"I've caused trouble to the masters these days," Liu Jing thanked and asked, "Neiko looks pretty good, I don't know if anyone else has come to explain it."

The monk said, "Yesterday there was a visitor, the lord of the county came to visit."

Liu Jing thanked him again.

It wasn't until he sat in the carriage that his face sank.

Yesterday, Xu Yi went to see Xu Jian, and he knew this well

。

The two couldn't get along, Xu Jian couldn't rest assured that Xu Yi would not be relieved, and it was not unusual for the county lord to come forward to persuade more.

It's just that......

What did the county lord say to Xu Yi?

Liu Jing pressed his eyebrows.

Learn to break Xun'er's thing, Zhangping Garden's whole body and return Zheng Liukeng's game, Geng Baoyuan is missing, Xun'er and they are looking for the temple, where there is also the county lord.

The county lord and the county lord of Ning'an are really ......

Back in the house, Liu Jing entered the study.

He sat quietly for most of the night, wrote an article before dawn, edited it and copied it on the fold.

With this fold in his hand, he entered the palace and went to court.

The atmosphere in the room was even more tense than yesterday.

Xu is has heard about the gold bricks, originally I instigated you, you arched him, and wanted to make a deposed prince's first bird, but now they are much more honest, and they get together to discuss Li Mi.

From time to time, he looked around, trying to get some news from Shan Shen and the others.

But Shan Shen hugged his arms and looked drowsy, Fu Guogong stood outside and didn't talk to anyone, and Commander Wan didn't show up.

Several royal historians who have always been upright are closing their eyes and recuperating.

They have to adjust their state, and they will continue to curse when they enter the main hall.

scolded Li Mi and scolded the prince.

Calculated and calculated, none of these two people are good.

When everyone moved to the Jinluan Palace, the Holy Honor Guard came in, and he walked straight to the dragon chair and sat down.

He quickly glanced at everyone and didn't see Wantang.

Shan Shen came out and reported the status of the investigation.

"Master Shan, is it really Li Mi's gold brick?" Someone asked.

"Wang Liunian was shouting to find the gold bricks, and the gold bricks still had Li Mi's mark on them," Shan Shen replied, "Judging from the situation, the gold bricks have been hidden there for many years......

The saint's gaze fell on Xu Jian.

Xu Jian is really reliable.

Yesterday, when Xu Jian came to the imperial study to talk about the situation, the saint asked him that in the handling of the hidden gold bricks, could he really hide from Shan Shen and Wantang?

Xu Jian is not small.

Because of the rainy day, because of the high location, because of the back and forth viewing, it destroyed a lot of traces.

Now it seems that it is indeed as Xu Jian said.

The officials below were holding two gold bricks, you came and went, and seeing that they were going to argue for another two quarters of an hour, Liu Jing stood up.

The official uniform was neat and well-groomed, but his voice was hoarse.

He knelt down in the middle of the temple with both hands.

The little chamberlain went to pick it up and handed it to Grandpa Cao, who in turn forwarded it to the saint.

The saint opened it and saw that it was a letter of self-incrimination.

He glanced at it briefly, and then asked Cao Gonggong to read it.

Gonggong Cao read word for word, except for his voice, there was no extra movement in the hall, and everyone was quiet.

Xu Jian was also listening, and even wanted to applaud Liu Jing after listening.

Liu Jing is extremely good at writing articles, which is his merit.

This self-incriminating book, the first half of the book is very neat, paying attention to the layout and confrontation of the article, the middle paragraph is chaotic at the beginning, and the second paragraph is even more undisciplined, no skills, only full of emotions.

Is it that Liu Jing can't write such a seamless article?

No.

What Liu Jing needs is such a messy article.

This is the feeling that a father should have after his son has committed an unforgivable mistake.

He is talking about his dereliction of duty as a father, full of regret and pain.

"It's the minister's fault that he didn't teach him well," Liu Jing buried his head on the ground, his shoulders trembling, "it's the minister's fault."

On the side, far and near, a few sighs.

Teaching a son is a problem, and sometimes, even luck.

If you can teach it well by putting your heart into it......

Some of them were bold, and even looked up to see the face of the saint dragon.

If you do it with your heart, the Holy Lord to His Royal Highness the Prince,

Isn't it hard enough?

Liu Jing didn't look up for a long time.

He's gambling, betting on the saint's heart.

If the saint wants to show mercy to His Royal Highness the Prince, he must not be too ruthless to the Liu family, otherwise he will not be able to convince the public.

Xu Jian looked at Liu Jing for a while, and then withdrew his gaze first.

He saw "survival" in Liu Jing.

Liu Jing knew that it would be difficult to keep Liu Xun, so he had to find a way to save himself first.

This self-incriminating book, which is a good choice to retreat into advance.

With Liu Jing's conscientious and diligent efforts for so many years, he wants to ask for a light sentence, and he does have a chance.

Of course, this light sentence is limited to this moment.

Liu Jing's subordinate Huang Shaoqing stood up, considered the words, and said a few words for him.

Some people played the vanguard, and then there were also people who were familiar with Liu Jing and helped to echo it.

Liu Jing still knelt on the ground, without much bottom in his heart, feeling hopeful on the one hand, but also feeling that the sacred heart was unpredictable.

"What about the adults?" Suddenly, an official asked, "Why don't you see Commander Wan today?"

As soon as the voice came out, many people noticed that Wantang did not go to court.

That's weird.

The focus of these days is on Chen Mi Hutong, and Wan Tang, as an official of the investigation, should not be absent.

Shan Shen found out about Wantang's absence, but he didn't know why.

was discussing a lot, Wan Tang carried the hem of his clothes, trotted up the trail, entered the main hall, and appeared in front of everyone.

He was in a hurry, panting and sweating a lot on his face.

"Ministers, ministers are late." He said.

The saint asked, "Wan Aiqing is still late for the first time, right?"

Wantang smiled dryly.

Not only him, but how many of the ministers of civil and military affairs present will have the experience of arriving early and late?

"The minister has something important to say," Wan Tang said, "In that house, the minister found this thing."

As he spoke, Wan Tang presented an object with both hands.

Everyone had different angles, and many people didn't know what Wan Tang was holding, and those who saw it clearly frowned.

Gonggong Cao walked down the steps and waited for the little chamberlain to hand him over.

After taking it and looking at it, his face also changed, and he hung his head and respectfully handed it to the saint.

The saint looked at the thing in his hand.

It was a piece of gold paper.

Two fingers wide, very thin, one side is a high mountain, and one side has a letter.

This is something from the Ancient Moon Envoy Regiment.

"Where did you find it?" The saint pinched the gold paper and asked in a cold voice.

"The minister asked the flower hall to be demolished, and in the gap between the floor mat and the floor mat, the minister was in a hurry to go to court, but the people at the bottom said that they had found something," Wan Tang replied, "It should be that the person who carried it accidentally fell into it, and if you don't dig up the floor mat, you can't see it on the surface at all, and you can't find it if you want to."

After listening to this, the saint looked at Xu Jian.

Xu Jian shook his head slightly, indicating that he had no idea.

The saint looked at Liu Jing again: "Lord Liu, how could someone from Guyue go to Chenmi Hutong?"

Liu Jing's whole body tensed, and his breathing froze.

He didn't know the answer, Honglu Temple was in charge of reception, but it was impossible for him to grasp everyone's whereabouts every day.

All he knew was that his preparation, his self-incrimination, was about to fall short.

Xu Jian didn't look at Liu Jing.

His attention was more focused on King Jin.

When the saint pointed out the "Ancient Moon Envoy", he keenly saw that King Jin's face sank.

Although it was only for a moment, Xu Jian did not miss it.

From this point of view, the Guyue merchant and the chamberlain that Xuansu met outside the house that day really had something to do with the King of Jin behind it.

Compared with the two gold bricks, Xu Jian was more satisfied with the harvest brought by the gold paper.

Speaking of which, it took a lot of effort to bury the gold paper in it yesterday.

To make sure that Wantang can find it, but also to let him not tolerate it

Easy to find.

It's really not at all easier than hiding gold bricks.
