Dali Temple has his Lord Luo

Chapter 164 Unwavering love
Luo Ning's wedding is getting closer and closer, and not only her, but Xu An and Zhao Ke'er are also busy all day long.

The emperor has announced in the court that on the day of the wedding, there will be a grand wedding banquet in Fushou Palace.

On the day when Luo Ning went to court on the fifteenth day, Zhao Ziyin smiled and said to Luo Ning and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty:
"Lord Luo finally got married! I am very happy. I used to think that no one in Zhao country could be worthy of Luo Aiqing! Then wouldn't she have to stay in Taifu's Mansion forever?"

All the officials and veterans laughed!

Luo Ning was so embarrassed that the emperor's old father's sincere words made him feel that his marriage was simply a big problem for Zhao State.

If I can't get married, will the emperor have trouble sleeping and eating?

Qin Zhao stood behind Zhao Ziyin and looked at Luo Ning with a satisfied look on his face. Now that everything is ready, he is just waiting for the good days to come!
Luo Ning was sitting in Dali Temple at the moment, recalling the scene that day, his face still burning. In a daze, Xu An ran into Dali Temple with a person:
"Luo Ning, it's not good!"

Xu An ran into the room in a hurry, and the woman next to him followed behind with an anxious look on his face.

"Quick, Luo Ning, something happened!" Xu An took a breath: "Qi Fang, talk to Luo Ning!"

After saying that, he sat on the chair by himself:
"Oh my god, I'm so exhausted!"

Luo Ning looked at the woman who came and looked familiar, but couldn't remember who she was.

The woman introduces herself:

"Lord Luo, I'm Qi Fangfang, you can call me Qi Fang. I held a party at my house before, and I was honored to invite Lord Luo!"

oh!Luo Ning remembered that it was Qi Fangfang, a member of the etiquette department, and asked with a smile:
"Miss Qi, what can I do for you?"

Qi Fangfang burst into tears instantly:
"I shouldn't bother Mr. Luo, but the situation is urgent and only I can come forward. Please, Mr. Luo, please accept my respect!"

Luo Ning quickly stopped her:
"We are of the same age, so there is no need to be formal. Please ask Miss Qi to tell you what happened!"

Qi Fangfang regained her composure and said softly:

"I recognize a young master named Luo Hong. Yesterday, he was wrongly accused and beaten to death on Fukang Street. He has been taken to Jingzhao Mansion. But I know that Luo Hong will never kill anyone. I also asked Mr. Luo to help He clears his name!"

Qi Fangfang looked nervous as she spoke, clutching her handkerchief tightly, and her eyes were red. Luo Ning understood and asked Qi Fangfang:

"What is your relationship with Luo Hong?"

Qi Fangfang paused for a moment and mustered up her courage:

"To be honest, sir, we are in love, but my father stops me and wants to betroth me to someone else!"

"Why don't you agree?"

"Luo Hong's family is poor, but he is just a scholar. My father is more interested in Zhongwugong's family background, and wants me to marry Zhongwugong's son."

Whether it is novels or operas, there are too many scenes like this. Luo Ning saw Qi Fangfang talking about Luo Hong with deep affection. He expected that she had deep feelings for Luo Hong.

"Then something happened to Luo Hong yesterday. He was said to have killed someone. Who was that person?"

"It's the person my father wants me to marry, the eldest son of Lord Zhongwu, Wu Bo!"

Luo Ning and Xu An were both shocked when they heard this.

Is it such a coincidence?

"Does Luo Hong know that Yuan Wai Lang wants to betroth you to Wu Bo?"

"Know!"

"Why are you so sure that Luo Hong was wronged?"

"To be honest, sir, I met Mr. Luo yesterday afternoon, and he told me to take good care of myself. He must study hard, gain fame, and then ask to marry me!"

"When did Luo Hong get into trouble yesterday?"

"Around Youshi, because we were on Fukang Street, there were many people watching. Everyone said it was Luo Hong who beat Wu Bo to death!"

"Why are you so sure that Luo Hong is not the murderer? Just because you are in love?"

"Not only that, Master Luo, Luo Hong is a scholar and has a pure character. I don't believe he will kill Luo Hong.

Luo Hong has a gentle temperament on weekdays, and has never said anything radical, nor has he acted aggressively towards Wu Bo, so I ask you to find out the truth and clear his name! "

Qi Fangfang was moved with emotion, and Xu An told Luo Ning:

"Luo Ning, I have also met Mr. Luo. He is a scholar. If he is wronged, only you can save him!"

Luo Ning nodded:

"If Luo Hong did not make a mistake, I will definitely find out the truth and clear his name. Miss Qi, please relax!"

Qi Fangfang nodded with tears in her eyes:
"Then please take care of yourself, Mr. Luo. If you see Mr. Luo, please tell him that I believe him and let him take good care of you!"

Seeing the strong and sincere Qi Fangfang, Luo Ning believed her perspective on people. If according to what she said, Wu Bo was not killed by Luo Hong, then what is the truth?
After seeing off Qi Fangfang and Xu An, Luo Ning took Song Zhuer to Jingzhao Mansion.

Song Qingsong was in the government office looking extremely angry. Song Zhuer ran behind him and stroked his back with her hands:
"Father, what happened? Why are you so angry?"

Song Qingsong took a sip of tea:
"Take a case and I'll make Mr. Zhongwu angry!"

When Luo Ning heard about it, it was Luo Hong's case:
"Master Song, this is exactly what I'm here for, what's going on?"

"Yesterday at Youshi, several young people had a fight on Fukang Street. As a result, Wu Bo, the crown prince of Lord Zhongwu, was beaten to death on the spot. The murderer has been caught."

"Then why are you angry?" Song Zhuer was puzzled.

"When Duke Zhongwu heard that he had caught someone, he wanted to go to the emperor and kill the murderer immediately. I said that before the case was found out, he threw the things in my Jingzhao Mansion and walked away."

"Has the murderer been identified?"

"Those who were caught refused to admit guilt."

"Is the evidence solid?"

"Zhongwu Gong refused to allow an autopsy. Now the only evidence is Wu Bo's confession. How can I solve the case?"

Luo Ning nodded in agreement. Fortunately, Song Qingsong was upright, otherwise the case would have been closed!

Maybe it would turn out to be an unjust, false or wrongful conviction.

"Why didn't Duke Zhongwu allow an autopsy?"

"The cause of death is clear, I don't want to ruin the Feng Shui of the Wu Family!"

"Stupid!" Song Zhuer couldn't help but comment!
"What I'm saying is that preventing us from conducting autopsies can easily lead to wrongful convictions!" Song Qingsong was angry.

"Master Luo, what shall we do now?"

"Where is the body?"

"Still in Jingzhao Mansion!"

"Let Dong Wu do the autopsy, and I will bear the consequences!"

"Master Luo, is it possible? That Zhongwu Gong is the founder of the dynasty and has been an official for generations! I'm afraid the emperor will give him three points!"

"It's okay. The purpose of solving the case is to seek the truth. No one can stop it. I will question Luo Hong and then meet the emperor!"

Luo Ning and Song Zhuer were sitting in the pre-trial hall. Luo Hong was brought in by the government officials. Luo Ning saw that his hair was disheveled, his mouth and nose were blue, there were bruises under his eyes, and he was limping:
"Luo Hong, are you being beaten?"

Luo Hong raised his head and saw that it was an official. Although she was a woman, her expression was stern:

"My lord, yes!"

Luo Hong lowered his head.

Luo Ning saw this:

"Luo Hong, I am Luoning, the minister of Dali Temple. I am familiar with Qi Fangfang. She came to me today and asked me to find out the truth for you. Fangfang firmly believes that you are not guilty. Please believe me and tell the truth about yesterday's events. !”

When Luo Hong heard Qi Fangfang's name, he felt sad:

"How are you, Miss Qi? She will probably shed tears again. I only brought her trouble. I'm sorry for her!"

Luo Ning shook his head:
"Miss Qi will never waver in her love, please Master Luo cherish this feeling! Restore the truth as soon as possible!"
