I forgot to mention that Liu Baoliang has a son and a daughter.

Son, Liu Qiang. Daughter, Liu Yiyi.

Yes, this Liu Yiyi is the same Liu Yiyi that Jiang Hetang met at the "Princess Selection Banquet" that year, who bullied Tao Zhuangyuan's sister near the rockery.

Mingyue heard the introduction of the little pony who stood quietly beside her, and suddenly remembered this matter, "Oh, Liu Qiang is the scholar brother that Liu Yiyi mentioned?"

Xiao Mazi nodded quickly.

Mingyue continued whispering in his ear, "Isn't her brother some guy who's famous throughout the capital, the one who overslept in a brothel and missed the exam?"

"Isn't it!" The two chatted enthusiastically.

Liu Baoliang on the other side heard what they said and cried even harder. He made "ho ho ho" sounds towards Mingyue and it seemed that he was cursing her very dirty!

When Jiang Hetang had a chin "installed" on him, Liu Baoliang immediately got on the microphone and said, "It's all my fault!"

"My son has been gifted with talent since he was young. He learns everything quickly. At the age of three, he could recite the Thousand Character Classic and at the age of five, he could recite the Three Character Classic. Yet, for the sake of my own ambitions, I made him pretend to be a playboy!"

"He loves studying and disdains those brothels. It was me! I had him drugged and thrown into the bed of an Oiran, causing him to miss the exam and letting everyone in the world know that he's a playboy!"

"It's all my fault! It's me, I killed him! Qiang'er!"

Jiang Hetang had his jaw removed and asked Wen Xun to take him away for further interrogation.

Although this matter is clear, it still feels wrong.

It all seems too simple.

While Yuan Tianzhen was trying to comfort the furious Jiang Hetang, Mingyue secretly ran out and followed Wen Xun to the Heavenly Prison.

"Ah, how come there is such a cute little girl here!"

"Master Wen, this is your child. Why are you on duty with him?"

"When will Lord Wen get married? How many girls in the capital have their dreams shattered by this?"

"The little sister looks so familiar!"

Someone suddenly hissed, "Shut up! Isn't this Princess Mingzhu!?"

"What? Princess Mingzhu is really as smart as the rumors say, and can she solve cases?"

"Of course it is, otherwise how could we follow behind Master Wen?"

“That makes sense!”

"Quick, let's clean up and collect all the 'dirty' things from the prison!"

"Yes."

The guards who were chatting outside during the shift change suddenly dispersed.

Before Mingyue came in, the place was really clean.

Wen Xun looked at the little carrot-head following behind him, sighed, took out a handkerchief and blindfolded her, "Hold on to the edge of my clothes later, and don't look around, understand?"

"Yeah!" Mingyue nodded her head slightly.

Now that her vision was blocked, Wen Xun was her only support. She held his sleeve tightly, fearing that she would accidentally grab the wrong person.

Xiao Mazi and Lu Jingchen followed behind, and the two became good friends.

Just now at the door of the imperial study, Lu Jingchen discovered that the Liu Mansion was empty. The only two masters were, one was detained in the palace, and the other committed suicide.

He immediately ran to report to Wen Xun, but he was just a small constable and had no qualifications to enter the palace.

It was the pony who was packing up the things in Mingyue's carriage who discovered him. After understanding the whole story, he took Lu Jingchen inside.

Then came the following events.

The guards in the sky prison naturally knew that Princess Mingzhu's visit must have been approved by the emperor, so they found a relatively tidy room and hung curtains around it.

Mingyue took Wen Xun in hand, and what they saw was a pink gauze "princess" prison set up by a group of straight men.

"Little princess, do you like it? This is the clothes I originally wanted to make for my wife!" The curtain contributor jumped out.

Mingyue's mouth twitched, and he asked Xiao Mazi to write down his name, "I'll give you a piece of cloth later, and don't buy this color anymore." In this world, except Zhizhi, no one should like this bright red color.

"Hey, thank you for the reward, Princess!"

It doesn’t matter whether it is cloth or not, the main thing is to see who gives it!

This is Princess Mingzhu, the emperor's most beloved niece. To round it off, she was awarded by the emperor!

The people around are so jealous. If they had known earlier, they would have prepared more good things for their wives!

Ladies who are inexplicably loved by their husbands: Is the sun rising from the west?

Mingyue rubbed her eyes. Liu Baoliang in front of her had just disappeared for a while, how come he looked so old?

The pain of losing his son, coupled with the destruction of his own "grand ambitions", was almost enough to drive Liu Baoliang to the brink of death.

He stared blankly at the ground, but Mingyue showed no sympathy.

Wen Xun began to ask some details as usual.

"Liu Baoliang, where did you learn about this kind of witchcraft?"

"In ancient books."

"What ancient book?"

"It's an heirloom in my family."

……

Mingyue suddenly thought, as a witch, wouldn’t she be afraid of being punished by heaven for hurting the emperor?

"Did Liu Po ​​know that her target was the Emperor before she performed the ritual?"

Liu Baoliang was very surprised that this little girl had her own ideas at such a young age. She was worthy of being a princess of the Great Zhou royal family.

"I don't know. She knew it was the horoscope of a noble in the palace. I just told her that after I succeeded, I would treat his son well, and she agreed."

Mingyue asked again, "How did that jade ring end up on the dragon table in the imperial study?"

Liu Baoliang chuckled, "My people are really good. They relied on old acquaintances and bribed them with money. They got to the emperor's table just like that. What's so difficult about it?"

Liu Baoliang was too lazy to tell him that he actually bought the ancient book from a bookstall by accident, and he accidentally saw it in this strange way.

But he didn't want to waste any more time talking to Wen Xun. After all, he probably wouldn't believe such a coincidence.

He really wanted to be free soon.

Mingyue had a hunch that he still had a lot of things to explain, but this half-hearted attitude really made her feel helpless.

Wen Xun asked a lot more questions and then left with Mingyue.

After they left, the guards removed the decorations from the cell one by one, threw the straw bedding inside, and locked the door.

"Brother Wen, do you believe what he said?"

Wen Xun shook his head. "It's half and half. What is certain is that Liu Baoliang is definitely the instigator of this incident."

"But, I always feel that there may be helpers or something like that."

Mingyue agreed with this. After all, this kind of witchcraft was too powerful, a technique to bring back the dead.

If everyone uses this method, there will be endless troubles.

The first ones to face danger are those in high positions.

"Speaking of which, Lord Liu is really omnipresent." Wen Xun looked at Liu Qiang's last words.

"What do you mean?" Mingyue didn't see the paper. After all, it was someone else's thing. Eunuch Su didn't let her see it, let alone touch it.
