Geng Shulou stopped and looked at Geng Xingbing fixedly.

Geng Xingbing also looked back at him, and neither brother nor sister spoke.

"Fourth sister, I originally wanted to leave you a way back, in case King Ping loses power in the future, I will be your retreat, but now it seems that I am thinking too much, okay, from now on, our fate will be completely tied together, and if the ship capsizes, you and I will both die, and now you can tell your secret."

Geng Xingbing came to Geng Shulou today, and she never thought of telling Geng Shulou everything, after all, her promise to King Ping might have to rely on the help of her good second brother.

It's just that she didn't expect that she still underestimated Geng Shulou's ability, in such a short period of time, he couldn't participate in the blow of the Autumn Examination, and his father's funeral was busy, he still had the spare time to take time out of the complicated affairs to think about and investigate the news of Geng Cheng's death, and was so sure that she did something in it.

But what if he guessed correctly, he didn't say who reported to Zhang Lai, which means that he didn't know who the maid was.

So she won't admit it.

As for his identity, Geng Xingbing suddenly changed his mind, this should not come out of his mouth.

Thinking so, she stood up.

"Second brother, I came here today, just to come to see you, worried that you were too tired and hurt your body, I didn't expect you to say such a lot of things I don't understand, saying that I have some secrets, and I have been charged with a crime, I don't know why you have these thoughts, you think about it again, as for His Royal Highness, he has never told me that he wants to recruit you as his staff, the second brother will go if he wants to, if he is not willing to go, after I enter the door, I will try my best to persuade His Highness, the second brother only needs to tell me before the day after tomorrow."

Geng Xingbing said, tears welling up in her eyelashes, "Second brother, now in addition to my mother, there is also the eldest sister who is thousands of miles away, you are my dearest person, we have been relatives for more than ten years, I hope we will always be close relatives in the future." ”

Dearest?

Geng Shulou squinted, and an unbelievable thought suddenly popped up in his heart, and he himself was stunned by this thought.

Geng Xingbing's heart froze, she knew her brother and knew that he was very smart, but she didn't expect him to be so keen, and she could detect something from just one ordinary sentence.

She suddenly regretted her talking, but she still kept her composure on her face and left calmly.

"The girl didn't say that?" On the way, Chu Yin asked.

Geng Xingbing looked ahead, and his tone was light, "Wouldn't it be better to wait for him to surrender to His Highness and let His Highness tell him personally?" ”

Chu Yin didn't know what was good, but this was a trivial matter, His Royal Highness just took a fancy to Geng Shulou's mind and talent, Geng Xingbing's beauty and the benefits she promised, as for the rest, presumably His Highness wouldn't mind too much about saying a few more words.

A few days later, Tao's mother was buried, and Geng Xingshuang wished Yan a ride.

A few days after Tao's mother's burial, at the end of September, news finally came from the yamen.

After conducting an autopsy and visiting by the officials, it was determined that Tao Mu had been given a chronic poison, which was very common and not colorless and odorless, but it was difficult for people to detect it when mixed with a strong smell.

"It is the medicine that my mother caught five days before her death, the yamen went to check Shou'antang, saying that after these days of investigation, it has nothing to do with the shopkeeper and doctor of Shou'antang, it was the medicine boy who grabbed the medicine, and it should have been bought, but the medicine boy quit his job two days before my mother's death, and the yamen looked for more than ten days, but no trace of it was found, maybe he had left Ningdu."

When Tao Yuyu told Geng Xingshuang and Zhu Yan this, his voice trembled, and after he finished speaking, the whole person trembled like a fallen leaf in the wind.

"It must have been her, it must have been her, how could she ...... How dare you ......"

Yes, how can you do this, if Geng Xingbing is sure that he is not the flesh and blood of the Tao family, then he has nothing to do with the Tao family, why should he kill this innocent and hateless person?

If she is sure that she is the daughter of the Tao family, then Tao's mother is her biological mother, how dare she kill her mother?

But that's what happened, and as Geng Xingshuang expected, it was also unexpected.

She saw the crazy and selfish part of Geng Xingbing's bones, but she also hoped that it was not to that extent.

"Has Geng Xingbing already entered the Ping Palace?" Zhu Yan asked.

Geng Xingshuang nodded, "Three days after my second uncle was buried, His Royal Highness King Ping took people over. ”

A small sedan chair, two grandmothers, two maids, four small maids who pressed the sedan chair, plus four maids with Geng Xingbing to marry, two rooms to accompany the room, Geng Xun Yao's help to make up sixty-four dowries, it looks mighty, but because there is no groom, the color is not so red, and it looks a little shabby and nondescript.

"Then this case ......," Geng Xingshuang asked.

Tao Yuyu shook his head, "The yamen said that they would continue to investigate, but I listened to their voices and knew that the medicine boy who escaped should not be found." ”

Sure enough, in the following days, the Tao family went to the yamen several times, and in the end they only got a little soothing compensation from Shou'an Tang, and the medicine boy who escaped, even if the yamen painted a portrait and posted it to arrest him, there was still no trace.

The Tao family was angry and helpless, they knew who the murderer was, but they watched the murderer become a member of the Ping Palace, without any evidence and strength to avenge his wife (mother).

When Tao Rong learned that his wife was really killed, he also tried to go to the yamen to tell them that Geng Xingbing might be the murderer, but when the people in the yamen heard that this matter was still related to the Ping Wangfu, although they did not hit Tao Rong, they also blasted Tao Rong out, and told him that if he dared to bite His Royal Highness King Ping again, it would not be just a matter of hitting the board.

Tao Rong returned with a feather.

In this matter, even Zhu Yan has no choice, she once suspected that Tao Yuyu was her second aunt's daughter, but there is Zhu Ni in the house, she has no evidence, and the second master and the second lady are not in the house, this matter is really not easy to handle.

When the autumn wind gradually came to an end and the cold north wind appeared, the autumn of Shengning's fourteenth year was released.

On the day of the release, Geng Shuhuai deliberately rushed back from Licai Academy, yes, Yang Tianmo doesn't have to go to Licai Academy anymore, but Geng Shuhuai still has to go, take the martial arts test, not only martial arts, Geng Shuhuai still needs to learn a lot of things, if he doesn't study seriously, next year's martial arts will be brushed down at the first level.

"Second brother, it's still early for the list, why are we coming so early, it's already cold in the morning."

Geng Xingshuang was wrapped in a cloak, and she didn't understand what kind of style her second brother was smoking.

"Sixth sister, I know why the second brother is going so early?" Geng Xingchen also joined in the excitement and wanted to go to the list with them.

"Sister Chen, I also know why you are going with you this time?" Geng Shuhuai laughed smilingly.
