The first thousand one hundred and forty-four chapters calculation (a)
Everyone was shocked, with different expressions, but their movements were uniform, and they all looked at Brother Ting.
Brother Ting was stunned and his mind went blank.
He had some contacts with the eldest grandson of King Wuling. A few days ago, the eldest grandson of King Wuling invited him to the mansion for a drink, and he went there with nothing to do. During the dinner, the eldest grandson of King Wuling mentioned the prince's ceremony intentionally or unintentionally.
He didn't answer the question at all!
Why did he suddenly instigate King Wuling to spread rumors and slander cousin A Luo?
Brother Ting's first reaction was to look at Brother Lin: "Cousin Lin, I've never done this!"
Brother Lin: "..."
I believe you are of no use!
The most important thing now is that Uncle Qi and cousin A Luo believe it!
Brother Lin reacted very quickly. He immediately took a step forward, cupped his hands and said, "Uncle Qi, cousin Ting and I eat and live together. We are almost inseparable except when we are on errands. I dare to be a guarantor for cousin Ting, but cousin Ting will never
He would do such a thing!"
Brother Ting swallowed his shock at this moment, endured the anger of being slandered, took two steps forward, and said loudly: "Uncle Qi, cousin A Luo, I swear to God that I have never done this!
If there is even half a word that is false, I will be struck by lightning and die!"
This poisonous oath was so categorical that it was quite frightening.
A Luo silently looked at Brother Ting who was full of indignation.
They grew up together. Brother Ting was impulsive and irritable, and he and she often argued and fought. To be honest, among the several cousins, the one she had the most disagreement with was Brother Ting.
Is Brother Ting unwilling to accept that she was appointed crown prince? So he secretly colluded with King Wuling to spread rumors and sway his ministers?
Or is this just a plan to kill two birds with one stone, to deal with her and alienate the brother-sister relationship between her and Brother Ting?
If it's the former, Brother Ting will definitely not get it right this time.
If it's the latter, who is this insidious villain who secretly set up a trap?
Sheng Hong's face was expressionless, and he could not tell whether he was happy or angry, and said calmly: "I will not convict you just by believing King Wuling's words. However, since King Wuling has testified against you, you are suspected. I will follow Fenyang later.
The county prince and Prince An go to the clan mansion and confront Prince Wu Ling face to face, do you dare to go?"
Brother Ting held his head high and responded firmly: "Of course I dare to go."
Brother Lin said without hesitation: "I will go with you."
Brother Ji, who had been silent all this time, suddenly opened his mouth and said, "Cousin Lin, since this matter has nothing to do with you, you should avoid suspicion."
To avoid any suspicion?
Is there anything to avoid suspicion?
This short sentence has profound meaning and is worth recalling.
Brother Lin is open-minded and open-minded by nature, but he is by no means stupid. He immediately responded sternly: "My cousin Ting and I are as close as brothers. We are always inseparable. If cousin Ting makes a big mistake, I, my cousin, can't escape the blame."
.So, this matter has something to do with me. I act and sit upright, I am not afraid of what others say, and I don’t have to avoid suspicion."
Brother Ji hit a soft nail and did not lose his temper. He turned to Sheng Hong and said, "Uncle Qi, I want to go to the clan house to have a look. I also believe that cousin Ting is innocent. This matter may be solved by another person."
There is an inside story."
Brother Ji has passed his prime years and is the father of two sons. His handsome face is becoming more and more calm.
Sheng Hong looked at Brother Ji deeply: "That's fine."
Ah Luo's eyes flashed repeatedly, and she didn't know what she was thinking, but she actually opened her mouth and said: "Father, this matter is directed at me, and I also want to go to the clan mansion together. I want to ask Prince Wuling personally, what is the truth?
Who encouraged and ordered him to spread rumors."
As a prince, he is destined to face complicated political affairs and complex human calculations.
Sheng Hong nodded in agreement.
…
A Luo and his party went to the clan mansion.
Sheng Hong held back a senseless anger in his heart and couldn't stand the memorial anymore. He simply put down the memorial and got up and went to Jiaofang Hall.
Xie Mingxi had just gotten up from her nap when she saw Sheng Hongyin coming back with a gloomy face. She was a little surprised. After thinking about it for a while, she guessed: "King Wuling has confessed?"
Sheng Hong snorted coldly: "Not only did he confess, he also confessed that it was Prince Ning who instigated and encouraged him to spread rumors."
Xie Mingxi: "..."
Xie Mingxi also frowned, and a series of thoughts flashed through his mind. After a moment, he said calmly: "Just relying on King Wuling's words cannot be trusted."
Sheng Hong exhaled a sigh of relief in his heart: "I asked Brother Ting to go to the Zongren Mansion to confront King Wuling. Brother Lin insisted on going with him. Brother Ji and A Luo both wanted to go, so I agreed."
After pausing for a moment, he lowered his voice again: "Mingxi, no matter what the inside story is, I personally served three glasses of poisonous wine to my brother back then."
"Over the years, I think I have been quite generous to the three brothers, Brother Ji. They have good food and clothing, and I have tried my best to teach them. I originally thought that my seventh uncle did a pretty good job. Now it seems
, it’s just my wishful thinking and self-righteousness.”
There was weariness in his tone.
That handsome and dazzling face also had a hint of dejection.
Xie Mingxi has not seen Sheng Hong like this for many years.
Obviously, Sheng Hong was hurt by this incident.
Brother Ting has no father or mother. He has long regarded Yin Xiaoxiao as his biological mother. He respects and loves Brother Lin more than his biological brother. It is no secret that Brother Ting is not favored by the emperor and empress, both inside and outside the palace. Brother Lin, on the other hand, has no father or mother.
Son, he was favored by the emperor and empress.
All the ministers were very happy. If the emperor and the empress wanted to appoint their nephew as the heir apparent, the Crown Prince of Fujian would be more likely than the Crown Prince of Lu. The Crown Prince of Ning would be the least likely one.
Under such circumstances, why would Brother Ting do something thankless for no reason?
If King Wuling insists on identifying Brother Ting, who is Brother Ting's injustice for?
Is Brother Lin really unaware of this? Or is he quietly taking advantage of Brother Ting's trust in him, and Brother Ting does this proactively without even opening his mouth?
Once the emperor and empress become suspicious, Brother Lin and Brother Ting will fall into an embarrassing situation.
This plan is based on people's hearts, how insidious it is.
"The person who set up this game seems to be targeting Brother Ting, but in fact he is dealing with Sister-in-law Wu and Brother Lin." A cold light flashed in Xie Mingxi's eyes: "Since such methods are used, no wonder we are
He is so cruel and heartless.”
Over the years, she and Sheng Hongren have become estranged from each other.
If you don’t want to live a peaceful life and insist on seeking death, let’s help them!
Sheng Hong was also very angry this time. He snorted when he heard this: "You are right. This time, I will investigate thoroughly and will never tolerate it."
Things are unpredictable.
Even the emperor and empress did not expect what happened next.
A Luo and his party went to the Zongren Mansion, but failed to confront King Wuling.
No one expected that King Wuling hid a grain of poison in his teeth. Shortly after King An of Fenyang County left, King Wuling quietly bit the poison and died from the poison.
