But what a coincidence, when they came to the guest house next door, they saw the door of a guest room open. The young master of the Ren family who lived in it had been knocked unconscious. There was a jade pendant beside him, which was thrown by Mr. Shi. That one.

The Ren family is also a well-known family in Linhe Prefecture. Young Master Ren's third uncle is Deputy General Ren of the Jianghuai Capital Command Department. When the water bandits were suppressed, Deputy General Ren made great contributions.

The Ren family has a good tutor. Mr. Shi would not be stupid enough to think that Master Ren was the thief who stole his jade pendant. He hurriedly said: "Brother Tong, quickly find the doctor in the family. Brother Ren must have been knocked unconscious by the thief."

Young Master Tong quickly yelled at his young man: "What are you doing standing still? I didn't see Young Master Ren being knocked unconscious. Hurry up and call Doctor Tian."

"Yes, yes, yes." The boy was also shocked by what happened tonight, and he stumbled to call Doctor Tian, ​​who was supported by the Tong family.

Doctor Tian came soon and revived Young Master Ren with stink medicine.

Master Ren was still confused when he woke up. He looked at them and said, "Brother Shi, Brother Tong, why are you here? What's wrong with me?"

Master Shi told him that he might have been knocked unconscious by a thief, as well as that he had lost his jade pendant, and finally asked: "Don't you have any impression at all? Do you remember who entered the house?"

But Master Ren couldn't remember clearly at all: "There was ham on the table today. I liked eating the glazed meat, so I drank a lot. I couldn't bear it just after dark and was helped here to rest... I didn't see anyone. I remember it felt like someone had hit me on the back of my head, it hurt a lot, I wanted to open my eyes to see who it was, but I fell asleep again."

Mr. Shi: "..."

That's not called falling asleep, it's being knocked unconscious.

Mr. Shi didn't ask any more questions. At this time, he had already guessed that the thief who stole his jade pendant was not targeting his family, but the Tong family, hoping to lure him to reveal Tong San's affair.

"Young Master Tong, the jade pendant has been found. I will go back first." Mr. Shi promised: "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone what happened today. After all, it is your family's private matter. I still understand this rule. .”

Master Ren: "What's going on?"

Mr. Shi glanced at him and said, "It has nothing to do with you. Get up quickly and I'll take you home. If you don't come home late at night, your parents should be worried."

Master Ren was completely confused about the situation and could only follow Mr. Shi.

Mr. Tong already knew about this, so he rushed over in a hurry, stopped Mr. Shi, and bent his knees to kneel down for Mr. Shi. Mr. Shi was frightened so much that he hurriedly helped him up: "Master Tong, you Don’t do this, I’ve already told Young Master Tong that the matter is your family’s and I won’t say anything more.”

Mr. Tong was so happy that he cried: "Master Shi, you have saved our whole family. Don't worry, our Tong family will remember your kindness, and our children and grandchildren will not dare to forget it!"

This matter was so embarrassing that Mr. Tong didn't want to say anything more. After hearing Mr. Shi's assurance with his own ears, he asked his servants to send Mr. Shi and Master Ren away.

Master Ren was confused all the time. After he got on the carriage, he asked Mr. Shi: "Brother Shi, what happened to the Tong family? Looking at Mr. Tong like that, what terrible thing happened?"

Mr. Shi looked at him and said, "Don't ask any more questions... just stay away from Tong San from now on."

Master Ren was startled: "You mean, it was Tong San who was in trouble? But he just passed the college entrance examination and became a scholar. He has a bright future. What could happen?"

Mr. Shi: "...Are you trying to trick me into getting the truth out of my mouth? I told you not to ask. If you ask me again, I'll be annoyed."

Then he couldn't help but say: "You will know after a while. Tong San will definitely not end well. There are many guests staying overnight in the guest house today. If they are not kept safe, someone will hear about it and spread the news."

In short, there is a high chance that the Tong family's affairs will be exposed, but he must not be the one who breaks the news.

Master Ren understood, nodded, and talked about other things.

In the Tong family, the third young master Tong has been beaten awake. Master Tong is sitting in the master's chair in the execution room, staring at him with a gloomy look, saying: "What else can you say to ruin the family style?!"

Mr. Tong had heard some rumors about Tong San when he was in Jiangnan, so he was a little displeased with him. It showed that he was promising, and he had not thought about what to do to him. After all, the trend of immortal kings prevails in the south of the Yangtze River. As long as Tong San is not caught and loses his face outside, he can tolerate it.

But not only was Tong San caught, but Mr. Shi also saw him!

Although Mr. Shi promised not to tell this matter, it is impossible for Mr. Shi to hide such a big matter from Magistrate Shi. Magistrate Shi will know about it tonight.

Anyone who can be a prefect has his eyes on the overall situation. Prefect Shi will never let Tong San, a scourge, go to the capital to disgrace Jianghuai students. Before the provincial examination, there is a high possibility that Magistrate Shi would use some means to block Tong San and not give him the opportunity to go to the capital to attend the examination, thereby losing face to the Jianghuai students.

Tong San cried so hard that he felt aggrieved: "Grandpa, my grandson is innocent. He was drugged and did something stupid."

Then he pointed at Liu Wenqing, who was also pressed to the ground and had been tortured, and said: "It was this shameless person who framed his grandson... When his grandson saw him being bullied by Liu Wenqing, he felt pity for him, so he wanted to give him a chance to get to know him. When I had the opportunity, I invited him to a banquet with a rich young man. After learning that he was drunk, I asked my servants to take him to the guest room to rest. How could I know that he was so ungrateful that he actually wanted to harm me!"

Tong San cried so much that he almost died, but his words were still very clear and he continued: "He asked someone to tell his grandson that he had a fever after drinking too much, and wanted his grandson to arrange a carriage to take him home. Grandson We were worried that something would happen to him in our house, so we went to his house. Unexpectedly, he actually lit some harmful incense in the house. My grandson noticed something was wrong and wanted to run away. It was already too late... His grandson was completely injured. He had the strength to drag me to bed... Wow, oh, grandpa, my grandson is really unjust."

Tong San fell to the ground and cried loudly, looking as if he had suffered a great injustice but could not avenge it.

Liu Wenqing was dumbfounded. He didn't expect that Tong San would treat him like this. He was angry and aggrieved. He couldn't speak for a moment. He could only look at Mr. Tong, with his mouth open, silently saying that he was wronged.

Mr. Tong is also a cruel person. He would rather believe that Tong San was murdered than that Liu Wenqing was wrongly accused. He pointed at Liu Wenqing and said: "Gag the mouth of this harmful thing, take it to the woodshed, and inform Liu Lao'er's family, let him bring his concubine over, our Tong family wants to ask them for an explanation!"

Liu Wenqing's grandfather was useless. After he was separated from the Liu family, life became more and more miserable. As long as he suppressed Liu's second son and bit him to death, Liu Wenqing's third grandson was the one who came to harm him, and continued to intimidate him. With Liu Laoer's cowardice, he would definitely agree to kill Liu Wenqing quietly and suppress tonight's incident.

It has to be said that Tong San is really Master Tong’s grandson, and the two of them are more poisonous than the other.
