After the family fell, I wanted to lie down

Since this matter was important and related to the reputation of Chunyi Tower, Yu Chunhua specially selected those people in the tower to come and sing, and repeatedly reminded them, and of course they also had the most hope.

"If you want people to like this poem, you must first know the host's preferences."

"But, Mom, this Master Zijing has never set foot in a brothel..."

"I heard that Master Zijing likes flowers and plants and often goes into the mountains and forests. It is indeed quite strange for a young man like him to have such a hobby..."

The girls were all chattering about it, and the others were also eager to try and please the musician. Even if they couldn't get the first prize, at least they could save face.

"Yutang, you are good friends with Master Wang, why don't you ask her to help you?" Someone reminded Yutang.

Yutang seemed to be in a trance, but was brought back to his senses when someone bumped into him.

"Look, you've always been a bit of a celebrity, and it seems like you've always been missing a little bit of opportunity. Wouldn't it be better if you could take a step forward this time?"

“And the Fu family is not an ordinary family, you and I both know that.”

Yutang nodded to show that she knew. She would definitely give it a try this time. "I'll go find Master Wang and ask him to prepare more gifts."

"Miss, do you really want to go?"

"Well, she'll give it a try. She hopes the musician can be nice to others, which will certainly be nice to her. She's not completely sure, but she'll give it a try anyway."

"Miss, what should I do if you say that?" Whether a maid can get good things depends on whether she can follow the right person.

If the lady they follow is superior to others, the maids will also be proud.

"Actually, I know this matter, someone is the key."

"It must be Master Zijing's, but we can't see him."

"Well, it's not him. It's another person, and I know him. Well, I guess I know him. Anyway, I know that my chance has come."

The sound of horse hooves could be heard and people were talking about it again on the street. What everyone saw was that Master Liu went back angrily again, and his expression was even uglier than before.

"Well, it looks like they have been met with setbacks. Who are the Chen family members, right?"

"They are just kids fighting, why would adults get involved? It's certainly not a good thing to do."

Until he returned to the Liu family, Liu Wenru could still hear the Chen family's counterattack and the ridicule of the people passing by on the street.

He slammed the table angrily. "I am so angry. This is really too much!"

Mrs. Xue, who was standing by, said weakly, "Don't be so loud, or you'll disturb Ge'er."

Liu Wenru immediately restrained his breath, took a look at the inner room, and said angrily, "It's my incompetence. This time I will make sure that the Chen family will learn a lesson..."

Xue smiled bitterly and said in anger, "We are obviously doing good things that benefit the people and the country, but now we have to hide our heads and tails, and let the young princess suffer such a great crime..."

"Master Pei, don't say that. Those who always say they are willing to die for the court are now kneeling under the skirts of treacherous people. It was very difficult for you to rescue His Highness at that time."

"At the beginning, the emperor knew that his time was up and the court was afraid of unrest, so he arranged for his trusted ministers and Duke Ying to escort the prince back to the court. They encountered more than 20 attacks along the way, and each time was dangerous. Who would have thought that when they thought they were about to arrive, they would be betrayed by the people they trusted. Duke Ying was seriously injured and unfortunately died while protecting the prince and the princess who had been fostered outside. The prince's whereabouts were unknown at that time, and now we don't know where he is suffering. We, the people who are protecting him, can only hope to protect the princess well."

"At that time, there were more than thirty companions returning to the court together. I wonder how many of them are still there when we meet again now?"

"In order to confuse the enemy, Lord Du and his men lured the enemy with their own bodies. Perhaps we will never see each other again..."

"But things are not without progress. At least we have finally gained the trust of some trustworthy officials in the court, such as Mr. Zichun. With them, we are one step closer to our goal."

"Even if we are no longer around in the future, Your Highness the Princess will still be able to ascend to the throne and clear our names after our death."

When Liu Wenru heard this, he was shocked and asked, "Sir, what are you going to do?"

"We plan to take this opportunity to wipe out the entire Chen family..."

If I hadn't heard it with my own ears, I wouldn't have believed that these words came from the mouth of this pale and haggard woman in front of me.

"Sir, please think twice and make plans after the princess wakes up..."

This exhortation was not a questioning, nor was it because the woman had boasted. It was rather a kind of persuasion. Obviously, he thought that the sick woman in front of him could do it.

"Besides, if it gets to that point, you will be exposed. This approach will not be worth the loss, sir!"

"Oh, you're talking about this. We won't be exposed. I'm prepared to die with them..."

Liu Wenru suddenly shouted "Sir"...

"Perhaps what Mr. Zichun said is right. If she follows us, a group of street warriors, her status will never be recognized by others and she can be bullied at will. So let her follow Mr. Zichun! It will always be better for scholars to follow scholars. Only when her status is high can she be respected."

Before Liu Wenru could say something, Xiao Taohong exclaimed in the room, "Master, you're awake."

Liu Wenru only felt a flash in his eyes, and the person in front of him disappeared. Although he knew that she did not know martial arts, but the action just now left no doubt that she actually knew martial arts, although she did not use martial arts to kill people.

Running so fast, this must be motherly love, after all, she raised him.

Liu Wenru's eyes suddenly felt a little sore, and he hurriedly followed. The sound of Xue's crying could be heard from Yingge's room. Maybe she was happy?

"Ge'er, you finally woke up, are you still in pain? Do you want to eat something? Mom is here, don't be afraid..."

In the prefectural office, Liang Jingping sat in front of the hall with a scowl on his face, and the other officials sitting below him were even more frowning than him. Several days had passed, and apart from the capture of a young man named Shi Lan, nothing had been gained.

"Are we really going to hand over a Nian Shilan? This is simply impossible to explain..."

"The person who died was Lu Gongqing. How can we explain this? How can we explain this?"

"Looking at the situation, it's not a good idea for you to be so worried."

Suddenly, a man who looked like a servant came hurriedly and whispered something in Liang Jingping's ear for a while. The man who was originally frowning suddenly smiled... Then, he saw that Governor Liang's face became gloomy again, and he waved his hand to let the servant go away.

Hey, is this good news? Have they caught someone again?

Prefect Liang fell into deep thought for a moment. His look confused the people below him and they did not dare to ask him.

After a long while, someone asked carefully, "Sir, has the court issued any official documents, or..."

The assassination of Lu Gongqing was reported to the court on the second day. Of course, Lu Gongqing's subordinates would also report it. Judging from the time, the news would have spread quickly.

"Oh, the court will send the Ministry of Justice and the Imperial Household Department of the Twelve Supervisory Departments."

In fact, everyone knows it even without Magistrate Liang telling them that they will definitely send someone over.

As for this question, everyone knew it without saying it. The content of the news was, the servant just came over, did he have any new instructions, would they be blamed or implicated? The officials below finally couldn't help but ask again.

Prefect Liang spoke first, "We need to continue to hunt down these criminals. They must have many accomplices. We must not let any of them go if we find any clues. At least before the people from Beijing come, we need to get this matter cleared up. So let's start with the Chen family."

Hey, it’s the Chen family? Should we check the Chen family first?

"Something happened to Lu Gongqing in Chen's Yi Garden. We must first check with the Chen family, otherwise this matter will not make sense."

The news spread quickly. The Chen family was very angry when they learned that the investigation would start from their family. The Chen family's connections had always been to high-end banquets or to visit friends at banquets, and they had never been investigated by the government in the past hundred years.

What is going on now? Is Liang Jingtian really so bold?

"If he wasn't so bold, he wouldn't have been banished from the capital."

"Mocheng is not a small place. He was demoted here. Does he think this place is a country? He doesn't know his own limitations."

"It's not that I don't know my own capabilities, I'm just being pushed into a corner. After the court officials come, I'm going to find a few more people to take the blame."

"Really? He actually wants our Chen family to be the scapegoat? He must be crazy!"

The people in the room were talking louder and louder. Old Master Chen slammed the table impatiently and said, "Okay, shut up. It's no big deal. You just keep complaining."

The room suddenly became quiet. "Father, Liang Jingtian is going too far..."

"The old man of the Chen family laughed. They can bully us if they want, but it's not up to them to decide whether they can bully us or not. Go and tell them that they can investigate if they want, but if they want to take people away, forget it."

They were always on good terms with each other on weekdays, but if they accidentally came to blows one day, then they would be in a fight. What about everyone in the court of that noble family? Could it be that the Chen family was afraid of a prefect?

The old servant waiting in the study put out the paperweight used by Master Chen Lai and said, "Based on my understanding of Liang Jingtian over the years, he is a proud scholar and must have offended people often. But why would he do something that is obviously not something our Chen family would do?"

"But he did it now." Che Laotian said, stroking his beard.

"Well, if he did it, there must be a reason. Either he is really crazy and wants to find a big guy to take the blame, or he has other purposes."

Even though the Queen Mother is behind Lu Gongqing, this shouldn't scare him into searching the Chen Mansion, right?

"Did something happen to offend him recently?"

"Other things, what has happened to our family recently that has offended him? When Lu Gongqing came, the family disciplined him more strictly. Is there anything else..."

"Master, there is really one more thing, and that is the matter of the son-in-law of the Liu family. Are you saying that Liang Jingtian, the court official, stood up for the son-in-law of the Liu family?"

"As for this matter, I would rather believe that Liang Jingtian has gone crazy. Ha, what reason does he have to come forward?"
