Everything that should be done was done, Ji Yubing and Yu Zhong walked together, walked out of the line, and followed Qing Shao far behind.

"Brother Yu, now that the big thing has been decided, what are you going to do next?" Ji Yubing's tone was more like talking to a friend, rather than asking as a prince.

"I'm still used to calling you Brother Long......" Yu replied.

"Haha, it doesn't matter, you and I have personal friendships, so why should we care about each other's identities. Ji Yubing seemed very open-minded.

"If Brother Long is watching the fire, he should know the relationship between me and Miss Jin. Yu Zhong told the affairs of himself and Jin Luoyi, and did not hide it.

"Brother Yu said that I only knew, what kind of person do you think of me, do you specifically inquire about people's private long-tongued women, haha. Ji Yubing laughed.

"Don't hide it from Brother Long, Yu is uninhibited by nature and has always been unrestrained, I can't stand wearing official uniforms and sitting in the yamen every day as a lord. Yu Zhong said.

Ji Yubing looked up to the sky and sighed, and then said: "In fact, when Cao Xiangui's case was closed, my father intended to recruit you into the office, and it was Lao Yu Duwei who personally persuaded him that my father pressed this idea, and now you have rejected me again, it seems that you really don't want to be an official." ”

"My father?" Yu Zhong asked strangely, he really didn't know about it. At the beginning, the emperor rewarded Xie Huchen, Guiming and Baili Shu, but he was the only one who missed him. Although he didn't mind, he only found out the real reason today.

"It seems that the son is better than the father, the father of both of us is worried about his life, haha. Ji Yubing said with a smile.

"Brother Long said with a smile, he will ascend the throne one day and reign over the world, how can I compare with you. Yu replied.

"I can't be mistaken, if I am the lord of the world in the future, Brother Yu, you will be a martial arts master, and I will be proud to have a friend like you. Ji Yubing's eyes were bright, and he looked at Yu Zhong firmly.

"Okay, today, for Brother Long's words, you and I will high-five as an alliance, and we will never lose each other. Yu Zhong stretched out his right hand.

The hands of the two were tightly clasped together, and with the afterglow of the setting sun, they were projected on the earth.

This is the end of the dark account, and it can be said that it is basically over. Under the strong intervention of the crown prince Ji Yubing, the main culprits were arrested one after another, and all the dirty silver was confiscated and returned to the treasury, and these news were soon transmitted back to the Taishi Mansion in Zhongjing.

Chen Jing was shocked when he heard this, and almost fainted on the spot. Cao Xiangui has been working hard for many years on this dark account system, and he thought that he could take it over unknowingly, but who knew that it would be served in one pot. All his efforts were in vain.

This is secondary, and more importantly, many of the officials who were arrested this time are like Zhuang Menglong, who have been his protégés for many years, and it is very likely that he will be implicated. Now that it is impossible to steal chickens and reverse the erosion of rice, the status of the Taishi may be in jeopardy.

There is no need to wait for the prince to return to the court, as long as his recital arrives, the people of Dali Temple will come to the door. At this moment, Chen Jing was anxious like an ant on a hot pot, and happened to meet Chen Nahai, the commander of Long Xiangwei, returning home.

"Father, what's wrong with you. Chen Nahai saw Chen Jing's anxious expression and hurriedly asked.

Originally, Chen Jing carried out this matter in secret, but now he has no choice but to tell it. Chen Nahai was also very stunned when he heard that his father had done such a rebellious thing.

"Now, in order to avoid implicating you, it is better for Nahai to tie me up and take the initiative to surrender. Chen Jing said.

After Chen Nahai was stunned, he calmed down: "Father, I don't think things are so bad, although this case involves many of your protégés, but if you are really implicated, I am afraid that they will not have real evidence, at most they will give you a strict situation." ”

Hearing this, Chen Jing came back to his senses, as if his reaction was indeed a little excessive.

"But there are two people who have to be disposed of. Chen Nahai's eyes suddenly changed, and he was extremely sharp.

"Nahai, you mean ......," Chen Jing replied.

"Zhuang Menglong and Jin Luoyi, both of them have your father's handwritten letter in their hands, if they are found out, it will be difficult for you to justify yourself, father. Chen Nahai said.

"Zhuang Menglong doesn't care, Luo Yi is a tiger's ......" Chen Jing hesitated when he thought of this.

Where does Chen Nahai take care of a lot, even if Jin Luoyi is his son Chen Hu's sweetheart, at this moment, he has to think about the lives of so many people in the Taishi Mansion.

"Father, leave this matter to me to do it myself, you can rest assured. After Chen Nahai finished speaking, he turned and left. Only Chen Jing was left standing in place.

"Hey, it looks like I'm really old. Chen Jing sighed and said.

Hongchang Command.

After several days of interrogation by Tang Jian and Xie Huchen, most of the suspects have confessed to the crime. Only Zhuang Menglong, although he confessed to the crime of collecting another secret account, did not say a word about Chen Jing's involvement.

"Zhuang Menglong, I advise you to get acquainted and tell you everything you know, so as not to waste more time. Tang Jian said angrily.

Zhuang Menglong, who was kneeling in the hall, no longer had the vigor he once had, unkempt, dressed in shabby prison clothes, and his scholarly spirit disappeared, his eyes were blank and decadent.

When he heard Tang Jian's words, he sneered instead: "Lord Tang, I have already said everything I should say, and you still want me to say something." ”

"You used to exchange letters with Master Chen to discuss reconciliation matters, you and I don't know, you can quickly tell where the letter is now. Tang Jian knew that Zhuang Menglong must have such an important thing with him, and he had already sent someone to search Zhuang Menglong's residence, but he found nothing.

"Letters, what kind of letters, Lord Tang, you are so coercive and tempting, let me frame me as the imperial master, you are guilty of bullying the king. Zhuang Menglong in turn put a hat on Tang Jian. He knew that even if the letter was handed over, he would not be able to live, and if he didn't hand it over at all, Chen Jing would still be able to save his family.

Although Xie Huchen didn't speak on the side, he saw it thoroughly, and said to Tang Jian: "Lord Tang, don't bother, he won't hand over the letter, and he still hopes that Chen Jing will protect his family, but I'm afraid that someone will come to kill him soon." ”

Hearing this, Zhuang Menglong's expression changed slightly, and his body shook. Obviously, this sentence touched him, no poison and no husband, not to mention the high-powered Chen Jing, it can be seen from his attitude towards the Cao case that he will not be soft on people who will threaten his status.

Xie Huchen asked Zhuang Menglong to serve a cup of tea and said: "Master Zhuang, you and I used to be colleagues, I have good words to advise, don't give others a funeral, only we can help you." ”

Zhuang Menglong took a sip of tea and remained silent. Seeing that he didn't say anything, Xie Huchen asked people to take him back to the cell.

"Master Xie, what should you do about this person? Tang Jian said angrily.

"Don't worry, Lord Tang, I see that Zhuang Menglong has already wavered, and in a day or two, he will definitely be able to make progress, but we must protect his safety during this time, what I just said is not just to scare him. Xie Huchen said with a solemn expression.

Tang Jian immediately mobilized heavy guards to guard the cell for twelve hours a day, such a defense, let alone people, it can be said that even a fly can't fly in.

But Chen Nahai came in. He dressed up all the way, and quickly rushed from Zhongjing to Hongchang Mansion. There is no need to go out of their way to investigate, this heavy encirclement has already shown that Zhuang Menglong is locked up here.

In the middle of the night, Zhuang Menglong was lying in the straw pile and falling asleep. Suddenly awakened by a nightmare, I saw a man who looked like an ordinary sergeant standing outside his cell door. Chen Nahai raised his head slightly, allowing Zhuang Menglong to see his appearance clearly.

Zhuang Menglong's eyes widened in horror, because he was afraid that the slightest sound would alarm the guards around him.

"Master Zhuang, I came to you, I think you know the reason. I should not stay here for a long time, and I ask you to quickly tell me where my father's handwritten letter is, you teachers and students, I don't think you can bear to see him lose his old age. As for your family, I will take good care of them for you. Chen Nahai whispered.

He knew that Zhuang Menglong was a person who missed the old love before he deliberately said this, not to mention that he still had his family's life in his hands.

Zhuang Menglong lowered his head and was silent for a long time, slowly took off his boots, broke the soles of his shoes, took out a piece of letter paper folded into small squares from it, handed it out and handed it to Chen Nahai.

"Commander Chen, I believe here, I know that this time I am dead, my family will entrust it to you, please tell the master, the student farewell. After saying this, Zhuang Menglong knelt on the ground and kowtowed a few times.

"Master Zhuang, I thank you for my father. Chen Nahai got the letter, so he didn't stay long, and left a small bottle for Zhuang Menglong when he left.

Holding the small bottle, Zhuang Menglong smiled bitterly, and couldn't help but recall his life. He let out a long sigh, raised his head and drank the contents of the bottle, and then lay back in the thatch, and in a moment there was no movement at all.

Not far from the cell, Chen Nahai immediately tore the letter to shreds and threw it into the river.

Now all that is left is Jin Luoyi and the letter in her hand. Chen Nahai turned and walked towards the Command Mansion.

Red candles flicker, bed curtains.

"Brother Yu, since we separated, these few days have been my happiest time. Jin Luoyi was sweetly snuggling in Yu Chong's arms.

Yu Zhong hugged the woman he loved tightly, and secretly resolved in his heart that he must not let her leave his side again.

"Tomorrow I will go to say goodbye to the prince first, and then I will take you back to Jiangzhou and go home!" Yu Zhong said.

Home, what a warm word, Jin Luoyi has not felt the warmth of home for a long time, this sentence came out of Yu Zhong's mouth, it was so convincing, she couldn't help but start looking forward to a better future.

As soon as the morning dawned, Yu Zhong went to Xingyuan to see the prince, and Jin Luoyi cleaned up in the room. Suddenly, a letter fell out of her baggage, and she lowered her head to pick it up, as if remembering something, picked up the letter and walked out the door. Suddenly, she stepped back step by step, looking terrified, as if she was afraid of something.
