Yinzhen let out a long sigh and said: "I have been investigating Li Luo's matter, but I just haven't told you. She was indeed responsible for what happened to Zheng Chunhua. As for the reason... it has something to do with the actor; before Li Luo entered the palace,
She was deceived by the actor and almost made a mistake, so Lao Ba used this to threaten her into doing things. Li Luo didn't want to do this."
"So she set fire to burn Fu Congzhi?" Ling Ruo asked tentatively.
"That's right. Li Luo didn't want to continue to be controlled by Lao Ba, so he came up with this strategy as a last resort." Yinzhen didn't have much emotion when he said this. It was obvious that he had already recognized Tong in his heart.
Jia's "forced by helplessness" argument.
Ling Ruo's heart gradually cooled down. Listening to Yinzhen's tone, she seemed to want to forgive Tong Jia. What exactly did Tong Jia say and do in front of him, which made Yinzhen, who could never tolerate a grain of sand in his eyes, tolerate her?
So far.
"Then how is Fourth Master going to deal with this matter?" she asked carefully.
Yinzhen pondered for a moment and said: "Li Luo is certainly at fault, but the fault is not hers. What's more, when I went to see her today, she was indeed regretful and even risked her life to prove her ambition."
Hearing this, Ling Ruo sighed secretly in her heart. She knew that no matter what Yinzhen said next, Tong Jia was destined to escape. As for Fu Congzhi, his life and death no longer mattered, even if he
It is useless to stand in front of Yinzhen now.
Sure enough, Yinzhen said slowly: "I have punished Li Luo Yue Yun Ju Nei to think about repentance, and I am not allowed to take a step before returning home. As for this matter..." He gave Ling Ruo a meaningful look.
, "Let's stop here. I don't want to make any more trouble. What do you think Ruo'er thinks?"
"Since the fourth master has decided, I naturally have no objection." She lowered her eyebrows and carefully hid her hatred where Yinzhen couldn't see it. All of this was just a matter of grounding him. It seems that she still underestimated Tong.
With Jia's ability and the weight of her face, if she misses this time, it will probably be even harder to overthrow Tong Jia.
Yinzhen nodded with satisfaction, "Very good, the matter between Li Luo and the actor ends here. Once we get out of this door, I don't want to hear any more gossip about this matter."
"I understand." No one can change what Yinzhen decided, so no matter how unwilling Ling Ruo was, she could only break her silver teeth and swallow the bitter water in her belly, and make plans later.
Just as he was thinking about it, Yinzhen suddenly asked: "I remember that you yearn for the West Lake in Hangzhou, right?"
The topic changed so quickly that Ling Ruo didn't react immediately. He nodded blankly after a while, wondering why he suddenly asked this question.
Yinzhen took her hand and asked her to sit on his lap, resting his chin with green stubble on Ling Ruo's shoulder. Amid a burst of itch, he asked: "I also said that if there is a chance in the future,
I’ll take you with me, so, do you still want to go now?”
Ling Ruo looked at him in shock, not knowing how to answer for a while, until Yinzhen pretended to be embarrassed and said: "It seems that you don't want to go, so forget it."
"No!" Upon hearing this, Ling Ruo became anxious and said over and over again: "I want to go!"
Only when she caught a glimpse of Yinzhen's half-smiling expression did she realize that she was just teasing herself. She was ashamed and angry, so she turned away and said, "Fourth Master knows how to play with me, so he ignores Fourth Master."
Yinzhen caressed Ling Ruo's face with pity. The touch of his fingertips was like gelatin and he couldn't put it down. "I'm not kidding you. It's true. I will leave for Hangzhou in a while. Thinking about what I said last time, so
I just want to take you with me
It’s a pity that at this time, we can’t see the beautiful scenery of “endless lotus leaves touching the sky and unique red lotus flowers reflecting the sun”. However, if the timing is right, we can still see the broken bridge with residual snow, the autumn moon on the flat lake and so on.
"
When Ling Ruo grew up, she had never left the capital. She could only read about places outside the capital through books. The beautiful descriptions of the West Lake by former poets made her full of expectations for Hangzhou. She originally thought she would be able to do so in her whole life.
She was surprised and surprised, but she didn't expect that Yinzhen would suddenly give her such a big surprise, which actually diluted the previous depression caused by Tong Jia's incident a lot.
After the excitement subsided, Ling Ruo remembered and asked: "Why did Fourth Master suddenly think of going to Hangzhou? Isn't it important to put aside the affairs in the court?"
"I'm going there just because of the court affairs. Do you remember what I told you about the death penalty case?" Yinzhen leaned back in his chair tiredly. These days, he was busy investigating the death penalty case and also keeping an eye on it.
Things in the house are busy at both ends, and the spirit is always tense. Even a strong body will feel that it is too much.
Ling Ruo nodded. She had heard Yinzhen mention this matter before, but she didn't know much about it. She only knew that someone bribed the officials of the Ministry of Punishment to replace those who had committed the most heinous crimes with ordinary people to receive the death penalty.
"Lao Ba wanted to use Li Luo to inquire about the progress of my investigation. I thought this matter was closely related to him. Unfortunately, there is no real evidence now. We found that a fifth-grade doctor in the Ministry of Punishment has direct contact with the mastermind behind the scenes. It should be clear.
Unfortunately, he would rather be punished than reveal the identity of the mastermind behind the scenes. Until a few days ago, I found out about the death case.
Most of the millions of silver taels that came in went to the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas, especially Hangzhou. Huang Ama wanted to know where such a large amount of silver taels was used; so he asked me to take a private trip to find out what happened.
It's the same thing." After saying that, he said seriously: "It might be dangerous to go here. If you are afraid, just wait for me to come back in Beijing."
It was different from the last time he went to Jiangxi to raise money. At that time, he was an imperial envoy, and there were many official envoys to clear the way and guards to guard him. Now, in order to avoid alerting others, he travels in a light vehicle and cannot bring many people with him. If something happens, he cannot do what he did before.
Full protection.
The reason why he chose to take Ling Ruo there was, firstly, to fulfill Lingruo's wish; secondly, it was also to paralyze his opponents so that they would not guess his true intention of going to Hangzhou and just treat it as a sightseeing tour.
Ling Ruo shook his head slightly, held Yinzhen's gentle palm and said seriously: "Wherever the Fourth Master goes, I will go there; even if it is a dragon's pond and a tiger's den, I will accompany the Fourth Master to break in."
"Silly girl, how could I let you be in danger?" Yinzhen hugged Ling Ruo emotionally, and the gentle affection flowed between them.
On the ninth day of September, after the Double Ninth Festival, during a trip to Beijing, Yinzhen took Ling Ruo all the way to Hangzhou. Everyone who had returned home had different reactions when they heard the news, but most of them were jealous.
That night, the Nian family dropped a Tangcai vase that was finally transported to the capital and was as tall as a person; the Nala family couldn't sleep at all; and the Tong Jia family...she didn't say anything, just one stroke after another,
She vigorously copied the Buddhist scriptures on the table, which she was going to present to Yinzhen.
