happy event

Chapter 292 It's Easy to Ask God

Dong Ping shook his head and refused to think about it any further, instead he whispered to the hidden guard to send more money and enter the city earlier.

Not to mention how Dong Ping waited outside the city gate with mixed joys and sorrows, just say that Da Zongzheng, who has been in the wind and waves recently, is lying in a greenhouse in the backyard of Zongzheng Mansion. With the baptism of acupuncture and decoctions, he will finally heal most of his body.But he still entrusted his two cronies to take care of all the big and small matters in the Zongzheng Mansion, and told them to make their own decisions unless it was an urgent matter. He insisted on pretending to be sick to the end.

On this day, Da Zong was taking the life-saving soup and water under the careful care of his wife and a few beautiful concubines. Compared with a few days ago, his complexion was finally much better. The futile women kept chanting the blessings of the Bodhisattva.

When the family was enjoying themselves, a young eunuch who was doing odd jobs rushed over, breaking the rare peace and harmony.

Da Zong was drinking ginseng tea made by his concubine himself, when he suddenly saw this, he was so frightened that he coughed.His old wife hurriedly stretched out her hand to pat his back, hoping that he would feel better.

It was not easy for Dazong to breathe a sigh of relief. He felt that he had lost face in front of his wife and concubines, so he stared in embarrassment and cursed loudly, "You dog slave, could it be that the sky is falling and you are so reckless?"

Knowing that he had caused trouble, the little eunuch quickly knelt down, kowtowed and explained the reason for his recklessness, "My lord, please forgive me. The little one didn't deliberately rush you to take the medicine. It was... Eunuch Zheng ordered the little one to report to your lord quickly. Your lord sent me the real culprit who killed the shopkeeper of the inn a few days ago." The little eunuch finished speaking in one breath, then heaved a long sigh of relief, and finally looked carefully at Da Zongzheng.

"Master Dong?" Da Zong looked at the little eunuch with doubts in front of the case, apparently not remembering who this Master Dong was.

"It's the younger brother of Princess Zhongshan's concubine." The little eunuch cleverly explained to Lord Zongzheng.

Da Zong, who was "seriously ill", heard this, and his body, which was half leaning on the bed, suddenly jumped up like an electric shock, and asked in a high-pitched voice, "What are you talking about? Why don't you tell me where you are now?" ?" After finishing speaking, he didn't wait for the little eunuch to answer, and anxiously urged his wife and concubine to dress and put on his hat for him.

Before tidying up, he hurried out.Still a little concubine who was careful, she covered her mouth and exclaimed coquettishly, "Oh, the master hasn't washed yet."

The eldest lady was helpless, and hurriedly sent the little eunuch to follow with the clothes.It is inconvenient for women to enter the front hall, so they can only wait anxiously in the back hall.

In the living room of the front hall, Dong Ping was sitting in an armchair drinking tea with a calm expression on his face. In fact, his heart was already in turmoil. He only hoped that he would hand over these monks and the crimes in a short while, clear up the suspicion for his sister, and leave this ghostly place. .He and his elder sister have depended on each other since childhood, needless to say the relationship between the two, at this moment, he wished he could fly to his elder sister's side right away, he didn't want to delay even a moment, even if he couldn't do anything to be with her.

In the same mood as Dong Ping, even more eager than him, there is no second choice except Da Zong Zheng.He didn't tie his belt completely, and his shoes were half-dragged on his feet, so you could see how anxious he was.

Is it because of his age and the tossing of life and death in the past few days, before he opened his mouth to speak, his body shook first, and then the little eunuch who followed him looked anxiously, and quickly stepped forward to help Da Zong to sit in the grand teacher's chair In order to avoid the embarrassment of falling.

It was not easy for Da Zong to calm down. He looked up at Dong Ping, who was drinking tea calmly and calmly, and then remembered that he had just heard the news and ran around without washing up. It was really embarrassing, but it was not good. When Dong Ping had a fit, he could only cough twice pretending to be calm, and angrily swept towards the few monks who had been kneeling in the middle of the ground, and asked sharply, "You guys are the ones who killed them? Take it down and wait for trial."

The few monks originally thought they would have the opportunity to report the murder for their own reasons, but Da Zongzheng would not give them a chance at all. Drag it away, it's too late to regret.

Dazong was finishing dealing with several monks in one go, only to remember that Dong Ping was still on the sidelines, so he turned his head and exchanged greetings with him, "Master Dong has been working hard all the way, please wait a moment, Mr. Dong, I will go to the quiet room to apologize to the princess , it’s all my fault that I was confused for a moment, mistakenly believed in Li Ermao who apologized with death, and wronged the concubine. Fortunately, the truth is revealed today, and I hope my lord can’t be blamed, don’t be blamed.”

Dong Ping was full of evil spirits at first, but seeing that Dazong was trying his best to curry favor and flattery, and he wanted to call himself a low-ranking official even though he was superior to him, it was hard for him to say anything, he just put down his teacup, stood up and said calmly, "I The official and Da Zong are going there together."

"Ah, then Mr. Lao Dong will take a hard trip." Da Zongzheng expressed his gratitude with shame, and bowed his hands to express his thanks. Of course, no one saw the slight curvature of his mouth.

Da Zong thought that he had successfully sent away Dong Rong, the great god, and even if he had completely escaped from the vortex of this fairy fight, he didn't know that the reality was always crueler than imagined, and there were always omissions in his calculations.

In the courtyard not far away, Dong Rong was holding a book, flipping through it while sitting on the bed.Ever since the two eunuchs died last time, Da Zong was frightened out of his wits, wishing to treat her like an old lady.Clothes, shoes and socks, toilet utensils, bed pillows and bedding, food and drink are fully prepared.If it weren't for the poor condition of the house, where you couldn't go out and walk around at will, these days would be comparable to a palace.

Jia Yi came out from the dark in a hurry, and told Dong Ping in a low voice how he tracked down the clues and successfully caught the murderer.

Dong Rong frowned when she heard this, and told her intuitively that someone must have intervened behind this matter.After all, nothing was found in the previous few days. When the peddlers in the streets provided clues, things went very smoothly, as if everything had been arranged, and it was just waiting for Dong Ping to find out. It was indescribably weird.

A Yi Xu also guessed like this, and said in a low voice, "Master, I feel that even if someone used tricks behind this matter, it doesn't seem to be malicious."

Dong Rong nodded and said in a low voice, "The situation is unclear now, so we should be more cautious. Be more careful when sending messages." After she finished speaking, she took a sip of tea and laughed again, "Brother Ping is here, Dazong is here. I'm afraid I'm going to be happy. But unfortunately, I'm going to let him down this time. Now that I have a lot of cards in my hand, if I let those people wake up again, they will really think I'm a soft persimmon."

When A remembered Da Zongzheng's face when he came in that day, a stern look flashed in his eyes, and he sneered, "It's good to let him suffer more, an old bastard who doesn't know the heights of heaven and earth."

Dong Rong wanted to speak, but she heard footsteps in the yard, so she waved her hands, and Jia Yi immediately led into the dark place...

As soon as Dong Ping stepped into the courtyard, he saw two eunuchs standing guard outside a locked room, his eyes immediately turned red with hatred.Stepping up the steps in two or three steps, he shouted at the two eunuchs, "Open the door quickly!"

The two eunuchs still didn't understand the situation, so they turned to look at Da Zongzheng.Dazong was eager to send Dong Rong this hot potato away immediately, so he didn't care about such a trivial matter, so he quickly waved his hand to signal the two eunuchs to open the door, and comforted Dong Ping with a flattering mouth, "Master Dong, don't be impatient. suffer."

Dong Ping couldn't believe what he said, his mind was filled with the image of his sister shivering in a corner.As soon as the door opened, he rushed in, and saw his sister sitting on a soft couch covered with brocade mats, with hot tea and snacks in hand, and a sable fur on her lap, that laid-back appearance made him hurry up Looking around for a while, he thought he had walked back to the palace by mistake.

Seeing his younger brother's stupid look, Dong Rong couldn't help but burst out laughing, and asked, "Brother Ping, what's the matter?"

Dong Ping came back to his senses, hurried to the soft couch and carefully looked at his sister, her face was very good, she didn't look like she had suffered, and finally let go of her heart, and said in a low voice, "Sister, I found the real murderer in the inn. .I'll pick you up and go back to the palace!"

Dazong was standing at the side, hurried forward to salute, and also said, "Princess Wangfei, I have been waiting for you for the past two days. I will let people prepare chariots and horses, and respectfully send you back to the palace."

After all, he was about to tell his eunuchs to get busy, but Dong Rong waved her hand lightly and said with a smile, "Lord Zongzheng, wait a minute!"

Da Zongzheng didn't know why, but suddenly his eyelids twitched violently, a very bad premonition hit his heart, he tried his best to maintain his smiling face, and asked, "My lord, do you have any other orders?"

Dong Rong nodded, and said with a smile, "Lord Zongzheng, I heard that the person who killed the innkeeper and the shopkeeper this time, and found the handyman to frame me, how many monks of the Maitreya sect are they?"

Da Zongzheng's eyelids adjusted faster and faster, he swallowed forcefully, and replied, "It's exactly what your mother said."

Dong Rong slowly closed her smile, and said with a cold face, "A few monks from the Maitreya sect have the courage to frame this palace, the first-rank princess of Qi, isn't it funny to say it? I'm afraid there are people behind them Right? Since I have already lived in the Zongzheng Mansion, I am not planning to return to the Palace for the time being. It is better to wait for Da Zongzheng to finish the interrogation of several monks, find out the person behind the scenes, and completely return the innocence of the Palace, and then go back The palace. Otherwise, if there is any need to inquire, I will have to come again, which is too much trouble."

"Niang Niang..." Da Zong heard that his legs were getting weaker and weaker, and almost sat on the ground, begging, "Niang Niang, please poor minister..."

It's a pity that Dong Rong didn't give him a chance to beg for mercy at all, and asked with a face full of surprise, "What is Master Zongzheng doing? I just want to be innocent, and this is also the original intention of my lord to review this case. Is it possible that only others are allowed to sue?" Is this palace killing people, but not allowing this palace to seek innocence? Daqi law, but there is a rule that a prince breaks the law and commits the same crime as the common people."

Dong Ping also understood his sister's plan at this moment. Although he somewhat disapproved of her sister's continued living here, seeing that her sister had made up her mind and the room and board were not bad, he stepped forward and helped Da Zong to get up, and said with a smile, "Sister, don't worry, Lord Zongzheng has always enforced the law strictly, and will never let those behind the scenes go, and return my sister's innocence."
