The pardon was not reached until the afternoon, and Wang Jinglong was acquitted.

Before going out, Wang Jinglong also deliberately went to look at Yun Qing, who was locked in the innermost part and was locked by heavy iron cables, and mocked him.

It's a pity that Yun Qing is about to be in a coma, and it is in vain to say that the two extra steps he took touched his injuries and made Wang Gongzi grin in pain.

Last time, thanks to the timely arrival of the housekeeper and the care of Yin Lin Qi of Shuntian Mansion, the twenty plates did not beat the fine-skinned and tender-fleshed prince to a good time, but he really suffered a lot.

God knows how much Wang Jinglong regretted it at that time, and he had already begged for the gods and Buddhas and Confucius and Mencius Laozhuang, which shows that this person who sacrifices his life for righteousness is really not good.

Striding out of the prison, Wang Jinglong originally thought that he had accomplished such a feat, not only defeated the traitor Lu Yun, but also suffered one more meal than his father, so he would definitely be warmly welcomed by more gentlemen, right?

Someone must have handed him a glass of wine and flattered him with a "very glorious", right?

Who would have thought that there were only a few people who came to pick him up, and there were even fewer gentlemen in the gentlemen's club, and it was his father with a gloomy face who stood at the forefront.

The members of the Gentlemen's Association gathered together every day to encourage Wang Jinglong and Tong Zimo, and Wang Qiong had already told all the parents.

At this time, the gentlemen are being locked up at home, I am afraid that they will not be able to protect themselves, of course, they can't rush to congratulate Wang Jinglong on his release from prison.

Seeing Wang Qiong's black face, Wang Jinglong hurriedly shrunk his neck, for fear of being scolded. Unexpectedly, his father did not scold him for the first time, but just thanked the people around him who took him out of prison for him, and got into the carriage.

The car was covered with thick mats, and Wang Jinglong shrank sideways in the corner, looking at his father with some concern.

"Jinglong." Wang Qiong lifted the curtain slightly and looked out the window: "Over the years, my father has only taught you to read sage books, hoping that you will be an upright person." ”

Wang Jinglong lowered his head: "Yes, my son remembers it." ”

"But the Father forgot to teach you that the heart is unpredictable, and that you should beware of someone taking advantage of your integrity to accomplish his ulterior purposes."

"That's what my father said...... Boy brother? Wang Jinglong raised his head.

Wang Qiong took a deep breath and looked at her son, who had escaped death: "Jinglong, you don't have to stay in Beijing in the future, tonight for my father, I will order someone to pack your luggage, and set off for Nanjing tomorrow to find your brother." ”

"Father!"

Wang Jinglong was both surprised and puzzled: "Why do you want your son to go to Nanjing?" The son wants to stay with his father and do his filial piety! ”

Wang Qiong straightened her face and wiped the reluctance from her eyes: "Shut up!" For the Father says you go, you must go! From now on, you are no longer allowed to associate with those who are gentlemen, especially Tong Zimo! ”

But when the father and son returned to the house, they found out.

Wang Jinglong can no longer associate with Tong Zimo.

……

A floating corpse appeared in the small pond in the backyard of Shangshu Mansion, and when the panicked servants scooped it up to look at it, they found that it was Wang Jinglong's sworn brother, the long-missing Tong Zimo.

The body was found in Wang Qiong's house, so the news that Wang Qiong had killed Tong Zimo spread far and wide, and it spread all over Sijiu City before dinner.

Tong Zi Moqiren, although he has no official title, used to be just a fictitious position in Chunfang, and now he is not famous.

But in any case, he is also a meritorious Jinshi, a "scholar" in Shinong Industry and Commerce, and he was killed inexplicably like this, so how can the face of the court remain? What is the face of his fellow villagers, classmates, and fellow students?

Not to mention that now that the father and son of the Wang family have been in prison, they are on the cusp, and there is such a thing, Wang Qiong immediately reacted, someone wanted to harm their family!

In order to show her innocence, Wang Qiong ordered someone to hurry up and invite the Shuntian Mansion Yin, Lin Qi received the report, with a speechless expression of "why are you again", and ordered his master to take the body away.

Regarding the death of Tong Zimo, the people of the Wang family do not know.

Wang Qiong naturally did not admit it: "The old man is full of books in the Ministry of Rites, and he has read the books of sages, although he has some grievances with this son, how can he be murderous?" There must be a traitor who frames him for this! ”

Wang Jinglong cried a lot, he was locked up in prison for the past few days, and he was exempted from suspicion. Of course, he couldn't believe that his father would kill his eldest brother.

He searched all over the servants and slaves inside and outside the royal family, but no one knew the slightest clue.

The sky is from light to dark, and the moon gradually rises to mid-heaven.

Lin Qi was as big as a fight, so he had to put the case down for the time being and go back to rest first. Along the way, Lin Qi also muttered to herself: "Could it be that the body of this Tong Jinshi fell from the sky and flew into the pond of the Wang family?" ”

Before I could find out what I could do, rumors flew into the palace.

Early the next morning, it reached Zhu Houzhao's ears.

"It's Wang Qiong again, it's their family again!" Hearing this name again, Zhu Houzhao's temper exploded at one point: "Find Shuntian Mansion Yin for me!" ”

……

And before that, Wei Cheng, who had been ordered by Lu Qi, finally invited Liu Jin.

"Master Cheng'er, why bother? The old slave should serve you, but he can't afford to ask for a word from you. Liu Jin got out of the carriage and took two steps and saluted Wei Cheng.

Wei Cheng had already waited at the gate of the courtyard, with some unnatural stiffness on his face: "Come, please come in!" I asked someone to prepare a good dish, and my father-in-law should not be on duty tonight, so eat more! ”

"Thank you Cheng'er for lifting up!"

Liu Jin stepped into the courtyard, a lamp was lit at the door of the house, and the courtyard was full of flowers, and there was a fish tank under the eaves, and the clouds and moon shadows fell in it, as if the fish were swimming in the sky.

"What a view!" Liu Jin stroked his palms and smiled: "This is the courtyard where Lu Shi reads, right?" ”

Wei Cheng's eyes lost focus for a moment: "Yes, the imperial brother gave me this courtyard." ”

"Then Master Cheng'er has to take care of it, don't let down such a beautiful scenery."

"That's nature." Wei Cheng smiled reluctantly.

Entering the house, there is a table of eight immortals under the hall. Incense burners were lit on both sides of the table, and smoke was billowing from it. There is a gauze curtain hanging from the door of the inner room, and behind the curtain is a screen.

The table was full of delicious food and wine, and a pot of old wine was placed in the jar and chilled, and a glass was poured, and the aroma of wine overflowed.

"Hmmm! What wine! ”

Liu Jin tasted it, smashed it, smashed it, and shook his head with endless aftertaste: "It's sweet and soft, this is Du Kang?" ”

Wei Cheng blinked: "Can you taste this?" ”

"Of course! This Du Kang wine is produced in the old slave's hometown, and the old slave often eats it when he is as old as you! Speaking of his hometown, Liu Jin's eyebrows suddenly danced, and he looked at the wine in the cup with a nostalgic gaze.

After a long time, Liu Jin sighed with emotion: "Alas...... When people get old, they miss their hometown from time to time. ”

Wei Cheng poured him another full cup: "If you can't go back to your hometown, eat more bars in your hometown!" ”

"Good!"

After three rounds of drinking, red clouds flew on Liu Jin's old face, and he chatted a lot in his spare time, and even told Wei Cheng about some trivial matters of the palace that outsiders didn't know.

Wei Cheng didn't know how to drink, so he only cared about drinking wine and food for Liu Jin, and when he saw that it was almost over, he pretended to ask unintentionally: "It turns out that there is such a secret?" But I'm curious...... When the first emperor died, did you see it? ”

"Huh?"

Liu Jin stared at him with a daze, and looked at Wei Cheng with sweat on his forehead, before he smiled and said, "Why does Master Cheng'er ask this?" ”

"Also? Who else has asked this question? ”

Liu Jin shook his head: "Don't say it, don't say it!" ”

Wei Cheng hurriedly hugged Liu Jin's arm: "Father-in-law Liu, don't you like this!" Good father-in-law, just tell me! ”

was shaken so much that Liu Jin touched Wei Cheng's head helplessly: "My master, you are not allowed to tell others." ”

"Guaranteed!"

"The last one to ask this question was you, Lord Lu."

Wei Cheng's eyes were instantly sharp, and the play was coming!
