King of Song

Chapter 18
Chen Xuan and Mrs. Li were imprisoned, and within a few days, Wang Anshi, the prefect of Jiangning, opened a court for interrogation.The criminal Chen Xuan murdered Meng Ruogu, son of the Meng family, and falsely accused Miss Meng Ruoying. The evidence is solid.The crime of homicide plus false accusation of rebellion, Chen Xuan was sentenced to beheaded and executed after review by the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple.

Li did not abide by women's morals, committed adultery and then murdered her own husband. "Song Xingtong" clearly stipulates that murdering one's own husband is a heinous and unforgivable capital crime.However, the murder was done by Chen Xuan, she was only regarded as an accomplice, and because she was pregnant, the sentence was commuted to exile.It's a pity that fate has already been doomed. She survived by luck because of the evil son in her womb. After all, she didn't escape a death sentence after the fate of mother and child in October.

Then Wang Anshi and his son left Jiangning and hurried to Bianjing to meet the young monarch Zhao Xu who had been on the throne for only one year.

The truth of the case came to light, and after the news spread, there was an uproar in Jiangning City. No one thought that such a result was behind the murder of the Meng family.The uncle-to-be committed adultery with his sister-in-law and murdered his own husband after the incident. Chen Xuan and Mrs. Li were also shouted and beaten by everyone, cursing and condemning...

Miss Meng was acquitted and released, but it is inevitable that people sigh, the only daughter of the Meng family, the incense is broken.Of course, there are many people who are jealous. If anyone marries Ms. Meng, it will be a dowry of several golden mountains!Even if it is to become a married woman... I am willing to do so!
At the same time, what people like to talk about is Lin Zhao, the Meng family's book boy, how he observes the details, collects evidence, and how bold he recommends himself to persuade the magistrate.Afterwards, the detailed analysis of the case, finding out the truth, and bringing the murderer to justice have all been portrayed vividly and vividly. Lin Zhao has already been labeled as a little detective!
But the main character, Lin Zhao, was not at all excited. After all, it was a great pity that Meng Ruogu died.And there was Meng Ruoying, who resolutely presided over and arranged Meng Ruogu's funeral, she still looked so capable.But Lin Zhao found that Meng Ruoying had been silent and depressed since she returned home, which inevitably made people worry...

In contrast, Mrs. Meng was even more worried.After the heart-piercing pain, the weather-beaten old man has survived and accepted the fact that the Meng family has no son after the death of his grandson.Now her only relative is her granddaughter Ruoying, but the situation of her granddaughter is really worrying!
Mrs. Meng blamed herself very much for this. She was thinking that her granddaughter was probably blaming herself. After all, she almost made a big mistake by not trusting her at the most critical moment.I wanted to apologize to my granddaughter in person, but I never had the right opportunity to speak up. She was also worried that saying it would be effective?It might have been better if someone had made peace in the middle.

After thinking about it, Mrs. Meng thought of Lin Zhao.The granddaughter can ask him for help in the most difficult time, and Lin Zhao is also willing to stand up for her granddaughter, and can speak eloquently. There is no more suitable person than him.

When Mrs. Meng mentioned it, Lin Zhao nodded and agreed. This was exactly what he was worried about, so it was naturally his duty to do so.

The sky is clear, the flowers are blooming like brocade, and the green plums are still full of branches. Meng Ruoying is standing in the garden in plain clothes, completely lost the interest she had a few days ago.The original cheerfulness and self-confidence turned into silence and depression, and the whole person's mental state was very bad. Lin Zhao saw it in his eyes and was very worried!

"Ruoying!" Lin Zhao boldly changed her address today!
"Brother!" Meng Ruoying couldn't help being surprised. In the past, Big Brother sometimes called him that, but it was Lin Zhao who didn't want to turn around and see him.Perhaps in the past, he was a bit guilty of inferiority and did not know his dignity, but at this moment, he did not feel dissatisfied with Lin Zhao at all, instead, he was feeling sad instead of feeling lost.

Lin Zhao shook his head lightly and said, "My lord has already left!"

"Oh!" Meng Ruoying nodded lightly, but there was always a lingering gloom in her eyes.The death of her brother made her immersed in grief, and after learning the ins and outs of the matter, she was even more in a state of self-blame.There are such filthy things in the mansion, but she has never noticed at all...

Lin Zhao said softly: "This matter is not your fault, it is Li's disobedience to women, Chen Xuan is despicable and treacherous, why should you use other people's mistakes to punish yourself? Besides, you have been doing business with due diligence, and you don't know the secrets of the inner house. thing."

"Yeah! I thought I would take care of the business and let my brother concentrate on his studies and take the Jinshi exam, but in the end... oh... and you, you know that they have an affair tryst, why didn't you tell me earlier, maybe your brother won't ..." Meng Ruoying burst into tears, and punched Lin Zhao's chest continuously.

"Yes! I have been blaming myself all the time. If I had spoken out bravely at that time, all these tragedies would not have happened... Unfortunately, is it useful to regret? The young master is already dead, and I will avenge his injustice, arrest the murderer, and set up a storm for him. We did everything we had to do for a beautiful funeral.

People cannot be resurrected after death. Should we look forward and think more about the living?The Meng family needs you, and your 70-year-old grandmother needs you even more. Be strong, please? "Lin Zhao's voice was very loud, which seemed like a blow to the head.

The servants in the mansion all avoided after hearing this, although Lin Zhao was just like them in name.But they all knew that Lin Zhao was undoubtedly the Meng family's great benefactor this time, not to mention that the magistrate also loved him very much, he was no longer an ordinary person, but a completely detached existence.Look, people can already yell at the eldest lady now!
After learning the ins and outs of the matter, she also knew that Lin Zhao was in a dilemma. At that time, she had always misunderstood him, and she probably would not believe it.But the grief in her heart made her play petty temper inexplicably, and even complain unreasonably.Being so shocked by Lin Zhao, his expression suddenly darkened, and when Mrs. Meng was mentioned, he couldn't help but feel a little sour!

"I know you have a knot in your heart. Although you don't say it, you are actually blaming the old lady in your heart for not trusting you... In fact, you have misunderstood her." Lin Zhao explained: "A 70-year-old man , the thinking is not very clear, and there are also people who are deceived.

Why did the old lady choose to believe in Li at that time? Because she subconsciously cared about the inheritance of incense, and unconsciously became biased... In fact, she has been struggling in her heart, and she has been unwilling to believe this fact... You don't know, that day How happy she was when you were proven innocent...

In the past few days, the old lady has been blaming herself, blaming herself for being confused and blind, and almost harming her own granddaughter.She hopes to get your understanding, she is very worried about you... She is already a 70-year-old old man, and you are the only family member in this world... Forgive her!Don't let him be lonely and worry, old and nowhere, okay? "

Meng Ruoying's heart knot was untied, and the anguish in her heart was released in an instant, and tears rushed into Lin Zhao's arms like a torrent breaking a bank.Maybe at this moment, she really needs a shoulder to lean on...

Lin Zhao smiled and said, "Okay, don't cry, it won't look good anymore! Well, I still like that confident and strong Miss Meng..."

"Hmph..." Meng Ruoying laughed through her tears, and said angrily, "You... become a disciple, you are becoming more and more indifferent..."

"Haha, but you came here by yourself, I didn't take advantage of others' danger!"

"And said..."

Mrs. Meng stood on the small building in the distance and saw clearly. When she saw her granddaughter smiling again, she finally let go of her hanging heart. Lin Zhao really had a trick.

This guy is nice!It seems that she and Ruoying are a good match!Mrs. Meng originally cared about being well-off, but this painful lesson made her understand a truth, birth and status are nothing, the most important thing is a good character.

Mrs. Meng just watched from a distance, and the old grandmother looked at her grandson-in-law, the more she looked at her, the more pleasing she was!I don't know how the two children feel?It would be great if this child could join the Meng family!When I have time, I have to check Gu Qi's tone...
