After the family fell, I wanted to lie down

The people beside him followed Prefect Liang and whispered, "Sir, please don't bother with these eunuchs. They only care about their own affairs, like termites."

"Put this matter aside for now. I know the seriousness of the situation. We can talk about it after our current affairs are concluded."

"They were clearly in their prime years. Even if they didn't want to commit suicide by jumping into the river, they should at least allow the body to be salvaged. But they refused to allow it to be salvaged. The body will rot in the river."

"And the rest, they're still locked up."

"Being locked up is still considered the best. The worry of being mistaken for an assassin is even worse."

"That's true. If they really find out something, it won't just be a matter of one person, but a family matter."

Liang Jingtian looked at the red-clothed guards under the torches. If it weren't for what happened now, Lu Gongqing would have taken action long ago, and those girls who were still alive would have been turned into bones long ago. Who knows what kind of turmoil would have been set off in Mo City by then.

Now that Lu Gongqing is dead, their lives are saved for the time being.

Until now, Liang Jingtian is still a little dazed and can't believe that Lu Gongqing really died like this.

"What's that person's name?"

"My Lord, that is what you are talking about?"

"The man who assassinated Lu Gongqing."

"Oh, I heard it's called Sansiwu, a cheap name given to him when he became a bandit. I heard it's easier to keep him."

Liang Jingtian whispered the man's name a few times and then asked, "Where is the man who went to Beijing?"

The attendant almost didn't react. He felt that the master was very strange today. His questions were scattered, one thing here and one thing there. The attendant thought for a while and said, "I heard that they are already in Yunxia Valley. If they are in a hurry, they will probably arrive the day after tomorrow."

"Xie Ping didn't come?"

There is a grudge between Liang Jingtian and Xie Ping, so he calls him by his name. Although they both have the surname Liang, they have no relationship at all.

The lord is absent-minded at this moment. Could it be that he is worried that the upcoming lord will do something bad in this matter? Yes, Lord Xie Pingliang has always been on good terms with Lu Gongqing. Now that he is dead, it seems reasonable that Xie Pingliang has done something bad.

"I don't know about that, but I guess it's unlikely. After all, when Lord Liang's mother passed away, he never left the capital. Could Lord Lu be closer to him than his mother?"

"Don't talk nonsense. The people who are coming are not kind. Everyone should cheer up."

"Sir, please relax. After all, we have captured Nian Shilan, and he is still there to take the lead. In addition, we have also captured many people in recent days and they are all in prison. We have done our best."

Liang Jingtian wrapped his cloak carelessly, and then seemed to have thought of something, "I heard there is another student?"

"Students? Too many were arrested. I don't remember. I'll ask later."

"You should also tell these students that important people are coming to the capital. They should behave themselves during this period and not act recklessly and cause trouble for their families. The fight between the two children of the Chen and Liu families cannot happen again. If it happens again, I will never let them off easily."

What kind of trouble could this group of students cause? Ever since Lu Gongqing died, the adults seemed to pay more attention to the students' affairs. Could it be because the two students were fighting on the night Lu Gongqing died?

The attendant said, "This is also unexpected. Students always take advantage of poetry gatherings to do things they dare not do on ordinary days. But since the master has given the order, I will convey it to each school."

Under the gazes of the attendants around him, Liang Jingtian jumped on his horse and was surrounded by the people behind him and left.

It was a nice day today. Yingge finally threw away the crutches he had been using for a long time, and went to the front yard, where he sat beside a stone and watched a group of children playing football.

Just after doing it for a while, Liu Ziheng came running and said, "Yingge, I went out today and heard them say that Fu Zijing asked Chunyilou to sing, so this is true. They said that they would wait until the Lantern Festival to see who sings the best, and then have a competition. The winner will get a huge prize."

Yingge asked him to find out what Yutang was talking about, and he just found out. "Hey, it seems that mine is indeed worth a lot of money."

"Also, I heard that several other brothels also knew about this matter, and they all rushed to rehearse in secret. When a customer asked them to sing, they were unwilling to do so, saying that they would go directly to Fu's Yuchun Garden to show their support for them later. Now many customers are curious about who wrote the poem, and they are all curious about you."

Yingge smiled and said, "I have something to find out, but no one knows it."

If we were to directly refer to the young son-in-law of the Liu family from the countryside, his reputation would be even more famous than Yingge.

"Hehe, this time is different. Now outside, everyone is calling out your name."

At this moment there was a commotion outside the door, and Su Qinghe, Su Qingyu and others also came. This time Xiao Taohong was very happy because they all brought gifts.

"I heard you guys talking about poetry outside the door a long time ago. Yingge, you are such a good poet, why do you hide it?"

"Look, just because Fu Zijing said he was going to open Yuchun Garden, do you have to support him? You can't be partial to one and ignore the other."

The person who said this was Ye Muyang, who was also a student. He had just met him at Fu Zijing's poetry reading last time.

"You don't know, those girls in the brothels are hiding their feelings now, as if they would lose if they sang out."

"Someone here even asked Yingge for it directly."

"Er San Lang, you are from our Ancient Flute Society, so this poem should be ours, don't you think?"

Yingge just smiled and didn't say anything.

Ye Muyang said, "I think you might as well write a few more songs so that everyone can sing them. The Lantern Festival is not only held in Yuchun Garden. I wonder if Mo City will also hold one. If so, it will be very lively."

Yingge, who had been silent, suddenly asked, "Why not hold it?"

"Because Lu Gongqing was killed." Ye Muyang paused and said, "You don't know about this, do you?"

"But what you said is true. You were injured so badly. It's understandable that your elders at home are worried about you and didn't tell you."

"Assassination. After our poetry gathering, soldiers did come over, but I was injured and then I was unconscious. I don't know what happened after that, and no one has said anything since then."

Ye Muyang took on the role of commentator, "Lu Gongqing was killed." He also vividly imitated the action of having his neck cut.

"I heard that the heads were cut off."

Yingge was shocked. "It's so serious. How could it be like this? It's such a pity. I was even telling him about the poem "Song of Water Melody" for him to enjoy."

Made for Lord Lu?

The young men were silent for a while, and suddenly Ye Muyang said, "So you wrote that poem in Yi Garden that day?"

At this point, everyone knows that Yingge’s original explanation was “I was afraid to go out because I was worried.

"Yes, it is complete now." Yingge said with regret, "Lord Lu also wants to ask someone to give it to him..."

Ye Muyang said in shocking words, "It's fine this time, just burn it for him myself."

The boy next to him wanted to laugh, but it was very painful to hold it back.

They also knew that they couldn't talk much with Lu Gongqing now. Ever since what happened in Mo City, no one knew how many people were watching.

It’s better not to get yourself into trouble about this matter.

Afterwards, the young men told her about what had happened in the city in the past few days, such as someone who had voluntarily turned himself in and said that he had killed Lu Gongqing.

Yingge felt something strange, so she pretended not to know. She did not ask about Lu Gongqing's death in order not to arouse suspicion.

This was part of her plan, but it was strange that Nian Shilan suddenly showed up.

Listening to them talk about this felt like a big show.

Ye Muyang said, "This is much more exciting than singing a big opera."

Yes, life is far more exciting than opera.

Although some people have already turned themselves in, their normal social interactions have been disrupted. For example, the Yi Garden in the Chen Mansion is a nice garden, but it is searched every day, which is extremely annoying.

The young men chatted and laughed, and seeing that Yingge looked a little depressed, they all said goodbye and left.
