Enter the Room

Song Jiyun immediately became interested and asked Mr. Song Eleven about this matter carefully: "Who did you hear this from? Has such a thing ever happened before?"

Mr. Song Shiyi smiled and said: "The second girl's husband's family, Xiong, was able to buy such a large forest in Wuyuan back then because their ancestors once had an in-law who worked as a scribe in Wuyuan County. They got the news in advance that an official family in Wuyuan was killed. During the search, I spent some money to open the joints.”

He said and pointed in the direction of Yin Yutang: "Isn't there a ready-made one nearby? If you ask me, you might as well ask my uncle!"

Song Jiyun thought of the thick official documents on his desk when she visited Yuan Yunzhong, and said with a smile: "Please help me keep an eye on it."

Mr. Song Shiyi naturally agreed happily.

Song Jiyun paid more attention to the Hong family than ever before.

Song Tao in prison was trembling.

Ever since Hong Xi "exposed" his true face without any scruples that day, she had been guarding Hong Xi from throwing her out as a shield. She had been watching Hong Xi cautiously.

But even so, she didn't see clearly what tricks Hong Xi used, but within a day, the prison boss who was so polite to them suddenly began to be kind to Hong Xi. Not only did the people carrying Jin Yiwei secretly bring food and drink to Hong Xi, they also delivered news to Hong Xi.

"Jiangxi's Zuobu Political Envoy, Left and Right Councilors, Food Supervisor, and Registration Supervisor... have all been held accountable." The cell leader stuffed a change of clothes brought in from outside into Hong Xi's arms and said, "Before, Prince Ning's Mansion Didn’t Chang Shi run away? This time he was not only found, but also directly beheaded by the governor."

After hearing the news, not to mention Mr. Hong, even Hong Xi was shocked and said: "Just beheaded? No interrogation?"

"Alas!" the cell leader sighed, "What kind of trial is there? The governor has a Shangfang sword, and he will kill whoever he says. Then the left councilor, right? As for the third grade, he will go to jail if he says to go to jail."

There is no such thing as "Shang Fang Bao Jian", it is just scrawled in the play.

Even the governor who represents the emperor cannot kill people like this. And if Yuan Yunzhong dares to be so unscrupulous, he must have something to rely on.

Hong Xi glanced at Mr. Hong, who had a solemn look on his face, and said as if he had done it on purpose, "The chief minister of Prince Ning's Mansion has been running away for a while, right? How can you say that he was found just after looking for him? He was killed as soon as he was told to kill?"

The prison boss probably heard a lot of gossip these days, so he shared it with him happily: "I heard from the policemen in the yamen that the governor already knew where the long history was, but they thought he was Prince Ning's. The confidants, fearing that he would be caught back, were like pouring beans out of bamboo tubes, so they said everything. The governor and the others would not do well to deal with Prince Ning, or not deal with him, so they might as well let him go.

"Who would have known that he was so courageous that he didn't even go far and expected Prince Ning to stand up for him. He sent people to pay homage to Prince Ning from time to time, hoping that Prince Ning would exonerate him.

"No, the governor sent someone to catch them all. But he relied on Prince Ning's favor and trust to resist arrest.

"Isn't he looking for death?

"The governor set an example by killing a chicken to scare the monkeys. That's what he said!"

Hong Xi listened and said with a smile: "Thank you for telling me this news. When our housekeeper comes to visit the prison, I would like to ask you to make it easier. I can also let him know that you have always been very kind to our family in prison. Take care of him and let him thank you properly."

The cell leader's face was red, his eyes were greedy, but his mouth was humble and he said: "Easy to say, easy to say. Who doesn't know that the Hong family are the great benefactors of our Jingdezhen. When the misunderstanding is resolved, the good days are still to come!"

"Thank you for your kind words!" Hong Xi said politely, "What about Chief Minister Zuo and the others? Were they just questioned? Is there any reprimand from the court?"

When the cell leader heard this, he looked around and saw that there was no one in the cell. Then he lowered his voice and said, "It's a very important matter. Most of us in Jiangxi's officialdom are involved. Chief Zuo and the others said they were involved." He was held accountable, and was actually imprisoned. There is someone from the county magistrate of Congjiang. You should know him, right? It’s confirmed that he is the governor’s senior brother, and they have a good relationship. The words coming from around him must be reliable, saying This time, the governor said, if everyone follows the law and does not blame everyone, wouldn't everyone be able to make friends and take bribes?

"Our Lord Bo Ke has said it. The governor has a brilliant literary talent and a pen as sharp as a sharp edge. As soon as he passes these few sentences, they will die or die - the most taboo of the emperor is to form personal cliques. They dare to collude to help Ning Ning. When the king works, he will be violating the emperor's rule."

Hong Xi's smile suddenly seemed a little forced when he heard this, but he still said: "It shows that Master Bo is also a powerful person. It can be seen from this."

"That's right!" The prison boss boasted a few words before leaving.

But Mr. Hong felt as if he had been hit hard. His face turned pale and he seemed unable to stand up.

He asked Hong Xi in a deep voice: "Did you really let A Zhao's name be on those documents?"

Hong Xi chuckled and said, "Why did I lie to you!"

Mr. Hong didn't speak for a long time, but when he opened his mouth, he said the word "good" in a shocking way, "I promise you. You must also promise me that I won't embarrass you, A Zhao, in the future."

Hong Zhao realized something and called out "Grandpa" eagerly.

However, Mr. Hong and Hong Xi ignored him and continued talking.

"Why am I embarrassing him?" Hong Xi said with a smile, "I just want to protect myself."

"Okay!" Mr. Hong said gloomily, "Remember what you said. If you dare to cause trouble for A Zhao, I will not let you go even if I am a ghost."

Hong Xi said disdainfully: "Instead of thinking about how to cause trouble for me after becoming a ghost, why not think about how to remove Hong Zhao?"

Mr. Hong looked at him deeply, stood up, walked to the cell bars, and shouted loudly: "Here comes someone! I want to surrender."

"Grandpa!" Hong Zhao shouted.

The sad voice still echoed in Song Tao's ears. After Mr. Hong was taken away, Hong Xi began to force Hong Zhao to write a family separation document.

"Otherwise, even if grandpa agrees to you, it will be difficult to pick you clean." Hong Xi's voice was neither high nor low, and his tone was a little impatient, but to Song Tao's ears, it sounded like a devil's whisper, "You take this article Written in writing, it proves that the Hong family's property was divided five years ago before I returned home. The Hong family's property has nothing to do with you, and those things naturally have nothing to do with you."

However, Hong Zhao could see clearly and smiled at him rather sadly, saying: "At this time, you are still thinking about how to get the Hong family's property. It seems that you are really sure that you can get out of this situation." You escaped from the dispute. Congratulations! I hope you get what you want."

Without saying a word, he wrote the paperwork, signed it, and stamped it.

Hong Xi carefully put away the documents and said, "Don't worry, since I promised my grandfather, I will definitely not embarrass you again."

"Only grandpa will believe you." Hong Zhao lowered his eyelids, his face full of bitterness, "You didn't leave my name on those documents at all, right? You really took great pains to deceive grandpa and save the family business."

Hong Xi laughed disapprovingly and said: "No wonder grandpa always praises you for being smart. You are indeed very smart. Yes, I coaxed grandpa, but I just wanted him to take the blame. Now that you know it, it's not too late, so you can go and complain. , hand me over."

"Can I hand you over?" Hong Zhao looked at Hong Xi blankly and murmured, "I'm afraid even if I go to complain and fall into your trap, my grandfather will not only not be exempted from guilt, but he will also suffer even more, right?"

"You're smart." Hong Xi sneered, turned around, and looked directly into the eyes of Song Tao, who was eavesdropping.

Song Tao was so frightened that she quickly lowered her head and huddled in the corner.

Unexpectedly, a government officer stood at the door of the cell and called her: "Miss Song San, someone is coming to visit your prison."
