Chapter 12 Farewell
Jiang Sushang said goodbye to his uncle and aunt, took Beilu and Lanshi with him, and left the capital.

Lin Shengyuan had been waiting for him at Shili Changting on the outskirts of Beijing.

"Miss, don't go, he..."

"It's okay."

Lin Shengyuan held a willow branch in his hand and bowed to Jiang Sushang, who bowed in return.

"You probably didn't expect that His Majesty did not take back the official position granted to me, but His Highness the Crown Prince was indeed punished and banned from home for three months. However, it has no impact on His Highness the Crown Prince." Lin Shengyuan said sympathetically: "On the contrary, it is Jiang Zhixian , I am a state official who has been sent abroad. If you want to come back, I’m afraid it will take you more than ten to twenty years! Is it worth it?”

does it worth?
If Jiang Sushang allowed Fang Changliu to die, and all four lives were attributed to Fang Changliu, and the imperial examination case ended with Fang Changliu's death, and she kept to herself and did not go to defend herself in front of the empress, the empress would not know that she and Fang Changliu Hokuriku was the one who witnessed what happened that night.

She should have a bright future and become the most promising female officer.

But Jiang Sushang could not tolerate sand in his eyes. Fang Changliu was at fault, but his life did not belong to him. She would find out.

"worth."

"I also asked Zhou Qiyan in the past, is it worth committing yourself to me to pay off Fang Changliu's gambling debt?" Lin Shengyuan looked into the distance, with green mountains rolling in the distance, and the spring wind mixed with the fragrance of the trees on the green mountains brushed his face. , but couldn't blow away his frown, "He said, it's worth it. The Fang Changliu in Zhou Qiyan's mouth is Bo Ya, the confidant, and the Prime Minister Bole. He talked a lot that night. Zhou Qiyan has always believed that Fang Changliu Ran It's because of him that he became addicted to gambling. And he also wanted to change Fang Changliu into the young master he was before."

"I respect Zhou Qiyan, love him, pity him, and listened to him talk about what happened between them all night, even though he belonged to me that night. But I didn't touch him in the slightest, but I was still unwilling to do so. I deliberately spread rumors about Zhou Qiyan. , said he tastes very good, I want to see what Fang Changliu will do?"

Thinking of the past, his slightly frowned brows suddenly tightened, and Lin Shengyuan's eyes showed disappointment: "Fang Changliu never sets foot in a gambling house again."

"Fang Changliu cares more about Zhou Qiyan than his sudden wealth." Jiang Sushang's residence in Zhou Qiyan is full of traces of his and Fang Changliu's life. The two support each other and cling to each other.Fang Changliu hoped to have more money to use in his and Zhou Qiyan's lives. He got into gambling for Zhou Qiyan, and Zhou Qiyan endured the humiliation and heavy burden for Fang Changliu.

"Yes!" Lin Shengyuan turned around and changed his sad attitude, "I was always there the night Zhou Qiyan died. I heard them quarreling clearly. Zhou Qiyan was supposed to write four answer sheets, he wanted to Go after Fang Changliu so that you can write the fourth copy in the future."

It turned out that the landlady said that the person next door to Zhou Qiyan had moved away, and this person was actually Lin Shengyuan. From this, he must have known everything about the quarrel that night.

In Jiang Sushang's view, Lin Shengyuan felt pitiful for a moment. He admired Zhou Qiyan, but he was never in Zhou Qiyan's eyes. He could only rent the house next to Zhou Qiyan, become a neighbor, and secretly spy on Zhou Qiyan and Fang Fang. A long life.

"At that time, Sun Ming and others were ready to get rid of him and express their loyalty to the prince. All three of them used the contents of the three answer sheets written by Zhou Qiyan. I was different. I relied on myself. Your Majesty Looking closely at the exam answer sheets of the four of us, I found that Zhou Qiyan had made a careful note of the fact that each article contained three lines of the same poem, but I was different from the three of them."

It turns out that the imperial examination is the most important thing in the world, and your Majesty will definitely find out.It's just that Jiang Sushang didn't expect that Lin Shengyuan was on his own. Maybe it was Zhou Qiyan's free talk that night that made him want to compete with him!

But even though Lin Shengyuan did not participate in the murder of Zhou Qiyan and did not kill Sun Ming and the others, he was guilty of killing the innocent Xie Qingshu in order to cover up the truth.

It's a pity that Fang Changliu confessed to all the crimes and died in prison before he could finish his words. Xie Qingshu's death also involved Wang Ze who was beside the empress. I think Academician Xie knew the truth, so he didn't wait for her to come back. Then they took Xie Qingshu's body away.The real murderer Lin Shengyuan became completely invisible.

"I wish Brother Zhou could see me today, but he can never see me again." Tears rolled down from the corners of Lin Shengyuan's eyes. He quickly opened the fan and turned his back, pretending to fan, but actually covering up his inner sorrow and indignation. .

"Mr. Lin, thank you for clarifying my doubts. I have to go one step ahead and say goodbye."

"President Jiang, I look forward to seeing you soon." Lin Shengyuan bowed his hands and bid farewell to Jiang Sushang.The women in his impression were all well-behaved and well-behaved daughters of aristocratic families, whose manners and gestures were all about upbringing and etiquette, but Jiang Sushang was different. She was brave and stubborn, a rare and strange woman.

If he had never touched human life on his hands, he would be happy to become her friend.But in the end, he killed Xie Qingshu by mistake, and he and Jiang Sushang became people in two different worlds.

Looking at Jiang Sushang's back, Lin Shengyuan murmured to himself: "Jiang Sushang, I really look forward to seeing you again. Justice in this world always needs someone to stand up for it."

Turning back from Shili Changting Pavilion and returning to the official road, Beilu was leaning on the side of the carriage with a piece of grass in his mouth. Jiang Sushang looked at Beilu's nonchalant look and his heart tightened.

The lunar eclipse poison that Wang Ze gave to Beilu had to be taken once a month, but she was about to leave and Wang Ze had no intention of giving her the medicine.This made her even more determined to go to Guazhou County first.

The carriage was three feet above the ground, which was very troublesome for Jiang Sushang. Beilu took a step forward and pushed Jiang Sushang off the carriage with a little force.

On the carriage, Lan Shi handed a bottle of medicine to Jiang Suchhang's hand.

"There is only one sent from the palace." Lan Shi glanced at Hokuriku who was riding a horse worriedly.

"Instead of pinning our hopes on Wang Ze's conscience, it is better to detoxify this poison early. Sister Lan Shi, let's go to Guazhou County to find your wife to detoxify it."

"The relationship between Master and Master's wife is not good. Furthermore, the Crescent Moon Spring where Master lives is deep in the Gobi Desert, with yellow sand all over the sky and a weird climate. Miss, you have never left Chang'an City. I'm worried..."

"If you have a chance, you always have to try."

Lan Shi had no choice but to say: "Beilu, go west to Guazhou County."

The place where Jiang Sushang took office was Shuzhou County, which was in the warm south. She planned to cure the lunar eclipse poison in Beilu before taking office in Shuzhou County.

"By the way, Master Wife is also from the Qielan tribe. Maybe she knows the Qielan secret medicine that Fang Changliu put in the amulet." Lan Shi carefully put the amulet Jiang Sushang took out from Dali Temple into the wooden box. , said with emotion: "If Master were here, he would definitely detoxify Beilu's body without saying a word and clear up your doubts, young lady."

Jiang Sushang held Lan Shi's hand and comforted: "Sister Lan Shi, you and I and Beilu are your family."
