Shengshichun

After Yang Zhan came down from the mountain, Xu Yin was called into the house by King Rong.

After hearing the story of capturing Zhang Shicheng, King Rong stood in front of the window with his hands behind his hands and remained silent with his back to the door.

Xu Yin stood for a while with his eyes lowered, and then said: "Although this incident happened suddenly and made people lose their guard, after all, the prince thought carefully and did not leave any future troubles. Even if someone found out, it would not be a big deal. No problem. Your Majesty, there is no need to be so worried. The princess is quite frightened tonight, so my son-in-law should leave first."

"and many more."

As soon as he turned around, King Rong spoke. "There's something I've been meaning to ask you."

Xu Yin stood firm: "Your Majesty, that's all."

King Rong turned around and walked out of the curtain, his eyes deep under the light: "Liang Ning, did you kill him?"

The lanterns on the table exploded, bringing out a string of sparks.

There was no ripple on Xu Yin's face. He stood still for a moment and said, "Why did you say that?"

King Rong walked forward slowly and stopped two feet away from him. "I still remember that night, Zhang Shicheng led people to search for daggers in Baiyu Hutong, knocked on your door, and said that you didn't reveal a word during the interrogation, but then you took the initiative to ask to see me. Tell me, you can help I found it.

"You asked me to give you three days. On the third day, the lively girl of the Liang family died in the fire.

"Then you come and tell me that the dagger will never be found again.

"Of course I don't believe it. In that case, if you can't see the knife, I will definitely kill you.

"But at this time, my precious daughter came in with a knife. She said that she already has your flesh and blood, and if I don't let you, she will die in front of me."

King Rong's eyes were bright, surging with faint anger.

After a pause, he continued to look out the window at the night: "Of course, it later turned out that she was lying to me.

"I have thought carefully about it in the past few years. Xu Yin, let me guess that the knife fell into Liang Ning's hand and you saw it, so you took the initiative to ask me to see me and promised to get the knife.

"But the result was beyond your expectation. Liang Ning did not give you the knife, but you have already boasted in front of me. At this time, you must have an explanation to me.

"So, you killed Liang Ning. In this way, the knife will never show up again.

“But you are still an insider, and I will not tolerate you even if you know it.

"So you found Yongping before you came back to me. That stupid boy has been interested in you for a long time. You are so smart, of course you know it.

"You let her know that Liang Ning was dead, that you were free, and that it was possible to stay with you forever. You also showed her your fear and worry, so that stupid kid came with a knife. Forcing her father.

"For me, if you want a person to keep a secret, firstly, you will turn him into a dead person, and secondly, you will make him into a family member. You succeeded. Not only did you get rid of the disfigured Liang Ning, but you also plotted against Yongping."

After King Rong finished speaking, the silence in the room made the sound of the hourglass suddenly become clear.

Xu Yin gradually frowned.

"My son-in-law's admiration for the prince and his admiration for the princess, but I didn't expect that the prince would be so unhappy in his heart."

"Did I make a mistake?!" King Rong said in a deep voice, "Xu Yin, you killed Liang Ning, how could you still pretend to be so affectionate and loyal to deceive Yongping? How could you continue to stay in this White Crane Temple with peace of mind?

"If you kill members of the Liang family, then Prince Rong's Mansion will definitely be implicated by you!"

Xu Yin pursed his lips and said nothing. He walked to the door, opened it, scolded Ms. Zhang away from the door, and cupped the hands of the mother and daughter who were talking: "Princess, please come in and say a few words."

Yongping looked confused, glanced at Princess Rong and walked into the room. Xu Yin closed the door: "Princess, do you still remember what you were doing on the night of August 16, the 16th year of Shengyuan?"

Yong Ping looked back for a moment, his cheeks immediately turned red: "Why are you bringing this up?"

Xu Yin's face was like a flat lake: "My father-in-law has doubts about my character. In order to prove my innocence, I asked the princess to help me prove my innocence."

King Rong was stunned when he heard this: "What kind of testimony can she help you with?!"

"That night, the princess stayed with her son-in-law all night. Whether I have time to commit the crime, the princess knows best!"

Xu Yin faced Yongping: "That evening, because Miss Liang went up the mountain to pray for her brother, and I was unable to accompany her due to official duties, so when I and my colleagues were preparing to go to a wine shop for a small gathering, we met the princess on the way.

"Then I was invited by the princess to watch a play with her and have tea with her. It was very late that day. I said I would send the princess back, but the princess said she wouldn't go back. Then..."

He didn't say the rest.

There is absolutely no need to say any more!

King Rong gritted his teeth and turned away, while Yongping was so ashamed that he couldn't even lift his head.

"With the princess staying up all night to testify, how much do you think the prince can trust what I say?" Xu Yin said slowly, "I, Xu Zixiu, rely on the prince to go so smoothly. I can tolerate others scolding me for coveting the wealth of the palace. But I absolutely cannot bear this word of ingratitude!

"If I commit this matter, wouldn't I become a hypocritical villain who is greedy for profit? And the prince loves the princess, but still chooses someone like me as his son-in-law, wouldn't it be like inviting a wolf into the house?

"Then is your fatherly love true or false?"

King Rong was speechless.

Xu Yin pushed Yongping out of the room.

After closing the door, the room was even quieter than before.

After a long time, Prince Rong said: "Since you didn't kill Liang Ning, then explain why you came to see me that night and said you would find the knife?!"

"The knife is indeed in Liang Ning's hand. She promised to give it to me, but no one expected that she would die suddenly. And it was on the night when I was with the princess.

"Liang Ning and I have been together for eight years, and our love is as deep as the ocean. She treated me sincerely. The only time I ever felt sorry for her was that she died. To this day, I still can't get over this hurdle in my heart.

"I always thought it would be nice if I accompanied her up the mountain that night, so to this day, I still can't bear to ignore the Liang family.

"Of course, I also know that this is unfair to the princess, but when she was with me that night, she knew that I was engaged to Liang Ning. Therefore, my son-in-law felt that even if I miss the Liang family, It's a little too much, so she should be considerate and considerate of me.

"After all, if I can still feel at ease in this situation, how can I be worthy of being the prince's son-in-law?"

Although King Rong's expression was still bad, he did not say anything.

Xu Yin put his hands together in front of him and said: "Speaking of which, where did the two people who were killed by the elder brother in the alley come from? Please give me a clear explanation."

King Rong frowned: "Why do you come here?"

Xu Yin stretched himself: "My son-in-law just thinks that you are dignified in the court. Even if this matter is publicized, it may not shake the foundation of the palace. I didn't take it to heart at first, but tonight I saw that the prince and the prince couldn't let it go, so I thought about it." stand up.

"After all, I am also half a member of the royal family. If there is something going on in the royal family, how can I ignore it?"

"It's better you don't know."

King Rong took a deep breath and walked out. (End of chapter)
