Xiao Zhenqi walked up to him with his head down and begged for mercy: "Shopkeeper, it's not that I'm not here to watch, it's that Mr. Ding who is not poisoned doesn't allow me to serve him."

He took out a silver ingot of one tael from his sleeve: "This is what Mr. Ding gave to the villain. He said that as long as I don't wait, he will give me ten taels later. I was so excited about the money that I agreed. "

"You bastard!" Yan Chun kicked the waiter: "Even if you want to collect cash, you should come and tell me quietly. Not watching doesn't mean you really don't watch. We can watch quietly. "

"How passive have you made me become now? Do you know?"

The waiter knelt down and said, "Shopkeeper, I know I was wrong."

Yan Chun shouted angrily: "Come here, check the details of Mr. Ding for me immediately."

In the Ni Mansion, Ye Xi and Ni Ge learned about the situation in Yanxian Tower and all looked at each other.

Ye Xi chuckled and asked, "What? Do you want me to detoxify Liu Heng and the others?"

Ni Ge shook his head: "I have a hunch that Ding Zhongwen will blame all this on me."

Ye Xi counted with his fingers and realized that they were really in trouble. He couldn't help but laugh: "Ding Zhongwen is really a born bad guy. He made the date, he was the one who poisoned you, and you weren't even there. Let's see how he slanders you. ?”

Ni Ge sneered and didn't take this matter to heart: "Master Xie of the Governor's Office is a good official who knows everything. He will not be fooled by Ding Zhongwen."

Ye Xi nodded when he heard this and continued to go to the kitchen to get her medicinal ingredients.

In the Yandu Yamen, Governor Xie was sitting under a plaque hanging high in the mirror. Ding Zhongwen was woken up by the doctor pricking him with a silver needle.

He looked around blankly at first. When he saw Mr. Xie sitting in the high hall, he trembled with fright. Then he saluted Mr. Xie: "Student Ding Zhongwen pays homage to you!"

Mr. Xie looked at Ding Zhongwen sharply and asked after a long time: "Ding Zhongwen, you are hosting a banquet for friends in the Tianzi No. room of Yanxian Tower today, right?"

Ding Zhongwen looked at Liu Heng and the other two people who were being rescued by doctors, and felt anxious in his heart.

He lowered his head to suppress his panic and replied: "Yes, the students are hosting a banquet for several scholars at Yanxian Tower today."

Mr. Xie looked at Ding Zhongwen with a half-smile but not a smile: "Ding Xiucai, I am a little curious. Your household registration is from Ping County, Huaiyang Prefecture. How can you get acquainted with students from Kaiyang County? On the second day of your arrival in Yandu , just meet up for a drink?"

"According to my investigation, I learned that after you arrived in Yandu yesterday, you had no substantial contact. Today you sent a letter to the three victims, Liu Heng, Hu Lin, and Zhang Yi. Why did you drink and talk freely?"

"Moreover, I also found out that there is a student named Ding Zhongwen at Nanshan Academy in Kaiyang County. I don't know if it's a coincidence or - you and he are the same person?"

Ding Zhongwen's heart thumped, and he almost couldn't maintain his composure on the surface.

He kept reminding himself: He was now the legitimate son of the household minister Ding, and there was nothing to fear from this governor.

It's just that his original intention of killing was to hide that he was from Kaiyang County. Could it be that the mystery of his life experience was revealed like this?

Ding Zhongwen still remembered that he had ordered several guards to carry them out of the restaurant on the pretext that they were drunk when they were almost drunk, and then threw the bodies of Liu Heng and others back to Ni without anyone noticing. Sing the courtyard where they live.

Then, he quietly reported to the official that Ni Ge had killed his classmate, and Ni Ge was involved in lawsuits and had no chance to participate in the provincial examination.

What on earth do those guards do? Can't handle this little thing? Ding Zhongwen was quickly thinking of ways to deal with it, but his mind seemed to be suddenly rusty and he couldn't think of any solution.

How is this going? Ding Zhongwen was secretly worried: Why did he feel that he had become stupid?

He dare not admit that he is Ding Zhongwen from Kaiyang County. If his true identity is exposed, he will never have the chance to enjoy glory and wealth.

Ding Zhongwen took a deep breath to stabilize himself. He must stabilize.

"Master Qi." When Master Xie thought that Ding Zhongwen would not answer, he spoke: "Liu Heng and I once had a relationship. We exchanged letters before coming to Yandu, and we made an appointment to come to Yandu. Time. Hence today’s invitation.”

Ding Zhongwen pretended not to know and looked at Liu Heng and the others: "Sir, have they drunk too much? Are they still drunk?"

"Hmph!" Mr. Xie was shocked: "Ding Zhongwen, you poisoned three students and are still making excuses. What crime should you be guilty of?"

Ding Zhongwen was so frightened that he lay on the ground and said in shock: "Sir, are you saying that the three of them have been poisoned? Then am I also poisoned and dying?"

As Ding Zhongwen spoke, he stretched out his hand to dig at his throat, as if he wanted to spit out what he had drank.

"Hmph! Ding Zhongwen, four people were drinking together, why were the other three poisoned, but only your wine pot and glass were not poisonous? Please explain this matter!"

Ding Zhongwen looked innocent: "Your Excellency, the wine and glasses are all prepared by Yanxianlou. I don't know."

Yan Chun, the shopkeeper of Yanxian Tower, heard this and was so angry that he pointed at Ding Zhongwen and shouted angrily: "You are talking nonsense. In our Yanxian Tower, every private room should have a waiter to serve. But you put my waiter Two branches open, who knows if you put the poison into the wine flask after he left?"

"Quiet!" Mr. Xie knocked on the gavel again with some displeasure, "Shopkeeper Yan, it's not your turn to speak yet."

Ding Zhongwen rolled his eyes and said, "Sir, when I was drinking with Liu Heng and the others, I heard them say that Ni Ge from Nanshan Academy in Kaiyang County acted arrogantly and had a grudge against them. I don't know if this poison is Ni Ge?"

Mr. Xie looked at Ding Zhongwen intently: "Ni Ge poisoned you? Did he know in advance that you had a date with Liu Heng and the others? How did he enter the room where you were drinking and poison you? Why did Dudu let you go?" "

Ding Zhongwen opened his mouth, but he really couldn't answer these questions.

Mr. Xie looked at Ding Zhongwen with a heavy look, and pondered for a long time: "The word is spreading that Ni Ge from Kaiyang County is coming to the court!"

The official checked the registered address of the examinee and came to Ni Mansion to summon Ni Ge.

Dong Yuzhi and others accompanied Ni Ge and walked towards the Yamen together.

In Ding Mansion, Ding Qi got the news that Ding Zhongwen was taken away by Lord Xie's officials. He was so angry that he threw the tea bowl in his hand: "It's not enough to succeed, but it is easy to fail! Madam's plan was ruined by him."

The guard who came to report was so frightened that he lowered his head and said nothing. Ding Qi stared at him for a long time and suddenly asked: "Did Ding Zhongwen send you to do other things?"

The guard lowered his head and told the story about Ding Zhongwen sending two guards to Ni Mansion last night to release poisonous snakes to murder him.

Ding Qi was so angry that he cursed: "You bastard! You told me to leave it to me. How can he, a fool who doesn't understand anything, get involved? It really pisses me off."

Mrs. Ding got wind of it and came to ask about it. After learning what happened, she also looked disgusted: "He is really a piece of mud who can't hold up the wall. I don't know why the master fell in love with him?" (End of Chapter)
