Strange Events of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 55 The Unjust Case Four Years Ago
In the early morning of the next day, Qi Mansion on Ningnan Street.

The morning sun outside the window penetrated through the gap, and sprinkled spots of white spots in Ling Changfeng's room.

There is also a white jade porcelain bowl on the sandalwood table in the room, which seems to be used to hold soup, and it has been completely drunk at the moment. From the chicken bones on the table, it should be a bowl of chicken soup.

Next to the white jade porcelain bowl, there was an envelope that had been opened, but the letter inside was missing.

Standing by the window, Ling Changfeng recalled what happened last night, his eyes were deep and his face was full of thought, recalling what happened last night.

As soon as I entered the Qi mansion last night, I don't know where my mother got the information behind the Si Tianjian case. As soon as Ling Changfeng walked into the mansion, he was dragged by his old mother and greeted him warmly. Ling Changfeng was asked to tell the details of the case.

Of course, gossip is indispensable for men, women and children in the mansion. After obtaining the permission of his wife and Ling Changfeng, they moved in small benches, melon seeds, and peanuts, and listened to them.

Seeing this situation, Ling Changfeng didn't know what his wife was planning, so he turned his head and muttered quietly: "Xiao Lan, what's going on with this posture?"

Xiaolan was crossing her legs, sitting on a chair expectantly, kneading melon seeds, touching Xiaoyu, and said softly: "Oh, master, can't you see such an obvious thing? Ma'am This is because I feel that you have given away all the credit to others, and I am afraid that you will go to Chang'an to recruit people to gossip, and I am afraid that tomorrow your reputation as a detective will spread in Luoyang."

As the saying goes, the shadow of a man's famous tree.If he is really in the name of the emperor's special envoy and still does nothing in the case, the people in the court will inevitably make a fuss about it.

Although it is not the best strategy for my old lady to build up momentum for herself among the people, it is quite effective now that time is tight.

Ling Changfeng, who understood it, didn't hide it anymore, so after hiding some extremely important plots in the case, he told the case vividly.

All the people below were fascinated by what they heard, and some young maids were discussing in whispers while listening to the case: "Oh, if in the dead of night, I could meet a strange hero on the street like the young master Just come down from the sky and save me from danger."

"Yes, yes. If it were me, I would promise you with my body. What about you, Xiao Lan?" Another maid nodded and said expectantly.

Xiaolan, who was sitting in the front row, heard them calling her, chuckled and said, "Hee hee, of course I am the same." But she murmured to herself: It's a pity, that strange man is sitting in front of you, and you There is no chance to make a promise with your body, hum.

In this way, under Ling Changfeng's eloquent narration, Luoyang not only appeared a detective like the reincarnation of Duke Di, but also a hero walking in the dark night, and of course, that magical kitten .

After he finished speaking, it was already ten minutes in the middle of the night.Everyone sitting still looked excited, not even half tired.

Ling's mother, Qi Ruyu, then ordered someone to boil a pot of chicken soup that Ling Changfeng loved so much, and personally delivered it to Ling Changfeng's room.

Along with the chicken soup, there was also a letter from Chang'an, signed: Ling Yun, the servant under the door.There is also a line of small characters next to it: Er Changfeng kisses you.

After Qi Ruyu delivered the chicken soup and letters, he patted Ling Changfeng's head lovingly, sighed softly and said, "Your father told me about your performance in the Sitian Supervisor case. Ling'er, you did a great job. It’s just that your father drove you out of Chang’an with an excuse, but he didn’t expect to be ordered to go back. Alas! My mother only hopes that you don’t let your father and I be sent away by white-haired people again like your elder brother Shijun. The brunette's experience."

Originally, Ling Changfeng was still immersed in the delicious chicken soup. Now when he heard his mother mentioning his elder brother, his pupils shrank slightly, and he said in a cold voice: "Four years ago, I watched my elder brother die innocently in Chang'an Execution Ground. Until now , you still refuse to tell me the reason?"

Now there are only mother and son in the room, and at this moment, an unjust case from four years ago - Ling Shijun's case is brought up!

Qi Ruyu's complexion was solemn, her rosy eyes were gently closed, as if she was recalling the events of that year.After a long time, he breathed out softly, as if he was talking to himself: "Ling'er, don't worry too much about what happened back then. It's because the parents are incapable of clearing up the grievances and avenging your brother's grievances. I only hope for your mother. You live happily ever after, and take your brother's share with you."

"Mother!" Ling Changfeng shouted, "Brother's death is not your fault at all! Even if you don't tell my parents, I will find out the truth! I will make the people who are now free and unrestrained pay a heavy price!" Said finally , Ling Changfeng gritted his teeth, with a fierce look in his eyes.

If Xiaolan were here at this moment, she would probably be extremely surprised.The young master who is usually very easy-going has such a fierce side.

Qi Ruyu shook his head, and said with a pale face: "Ling'er, my mother is just a woman who doesn't understand the dangers in the court. But your father once said that if you still insist on pursuing it, I'm afraid."

She didn't finish her sentence, but from her expression, one could tell that the people involved in the big case back then were probably extremely honorable, otherwise Ling Yun, who was a senior official of the third rank, would have had no choice but to swallow his anger.

"Mother, don't worry, I will be extremely cautious. Now that I return to Chang'an, I can continue to complete the things that I did not complete half a year ago. This time I will definitely find out the truth!" Ling Changfeng stared at the sky in the sky. Crescent Moon said firmly.

"Alas!" Qi Ruyu sighed and looked at Crescent Moon outside the window when she couldn't stop her.

The mother and son fell into silence for a while.Obviously, the death of brother Ling Changfeng four years ago made it difficult for both of them to let go.It's just that I don't know what happened back then, so that the sons of third-rank officials were sentenced to death.

After a long time, Qi Ruyu touched Ling Changfeng's head again, and said softly, "Ling'er, I'm tired, so I'll go back and rest first. Please read your father's letter carefully."

Ling Changfeng came back to his senses, nodded, got up and sent his mother out of the room.

Returning to the table again, Ling Changfeng took a deep breath, calmed down the agitated mood just now, and stretched out his hand to open the letter from his father.

"My son, Changfeng, are you in good health recently?"

After slowly reading his father's letter, Ling Changfeng casually burned the letter to ashes.His brows were tightly furrowed, apparently the letter mentioned something that made Ling Changfeng feel quite troublesome.

The crescent moon outside the window was slowly covered by dark clouds, and a gust of wind blew by, extinguishing the flickering lights.

In an instant, the room was enveloped in darkness, and only Ling Changfeng's slight breathing was left in the whole room.
