Then he said loudly to everyone: "I did participate in the affairs of Duanjiazhuang, but the head of Shangguan didn't know about all this, and Shangguan Nan and Shangguan Fei didn't know either, this was a deal I reached with others in private, regardless of the affairs of Sanxiaomen and Shangguan's family." After speaking, he slapped his backhand on his eyebrows and committed suicide.

The rest of the people, including Wu Laohan and Master Xue, were shackled by Zhou Rouqiang's men and prepared to be escorted back to the yamen for trial.

The guests who came to the birthday banquet shook their heads and sighed when they saw that the birthday banquet had become a funeral, and then left the Sanxiao Palace one after another. Ma Beixiong and Mei Tiehe saw that the matter had come to an end, so they also said goodbye to Ding Cheng and the others and left. Ding Cheng was reluctant to give up and wanted to stay with the two for a few more days. Ma Beixiong said: "Recently, the rivers and lakes have not been very peaceful, and we still have many important things to deal with. You have to take care too, I think we'll meet again soon. ”

Ding Cheng sent Ma Beixiong and Mei Tiehe away, and turned around to see Zhou Rouqiang smiling at him. Zhou Rouqiang came over and patted Ding Cheng on the shoulder and said, "Ding Shaoxia, I told you before that I was going to take you to meet an important person, but I was delayed by this incident. Now that this matter is over, I can take you to her, and you can go back to the house with me. ”

Zhou Rouqiang and Ding Cheng returned to the county office, and Zhou Rouqiang ordered Cong Fei to put a cadre of prisoners in prison, and then led Ding Cheng into the inner hall.

Entering the living room, Zhou Rouqiang first beckoned Ding Cheng to sit down, then asked someone to pour tea for Ding Cheng, and then instructed: "You go to the back hall and ask Mrs. to come out, just say that there is an important guest coming, please come out to meet." ”

After a while, a graceful and luxurious woman came out of the inner hall, smiled lightly when she saw Ding Cheng, and then bowed. Ding Cheng also quickly stood up and returned the salute.

Zhou Rouqiang introduced: "This is Clumsy Jing, extremely easy-going, no matter how virtuous he is, and he is not afraid of Brother Ding's jokes, being able to marry her as my wife is a blessing from Zhou Someone's tenth generation." ”

Mrs. Zhou said embarrassedly: "Master, you are not ashamed, how can you praise your wife like this?"

Zhou Rouqiang smiled and said, "I'm telling the truth, I believe that Brother Ding won't laugh at me." ”

Ding Cheng saw that these two people were so funny and easy-going, and the restraint in his heart was a lot less, and said: "Where is it, Lord Zhou is telling the truth, and Lord Zhou and Mrs. Zhou are loving and praising each other, I am too late to envy, how can I laugh at the two of you." ”

Zhou Rouqiang laughed and said, "That's it, that's it." Then he whispered a few words in Mrs. Zhou's ear, and Mrs. Zhou nodded and turned back to the inner hall.

After a short time, Mrs. Zhou led a girl out. Ding Cheng looked up and shouted excitedly: "Yunying!" He couldn't believe his eyes, he couldn't believe that he would meet Yunying here.

Yun Ying also excitedly called "big brother" when he saw Ding Cheng and threw himself into Ding Cheng's arms. After a long while, Yun Ying let go of Ding Cheng, wiped his tears, and smiled embarrassedly: "Big brother, I'm sorry, I wet your clothes." But I'm so glad to see you, are you okay? What's wrong with the poison on you? How did you get here?"

Ding Cheng reached out to help Yun Ying wipe a tear hanging from the corner of his eye.
