Ding Qi also looked puzzled: "Hey, your lord's arrangements are not something we mere mortals can understand. So what should we do?"

Mrs. Ding took out the greeting card from the Ding family and handed it to Ding Qi: "I can't help it. He is the person that the Lord wants. You can take this greeting card to Xie Xian and see if he can put it aside for the sake of the Lord." people?"

Ding Qi took the invitation, got up and walked out of the house.

Where do so many coincidences come from in this world? Ding Zhongwen fell from the cliff. They had bribed the guards long ago and deliberately let him fall from there.

Ding Zhongwen fell and was rescued by a secret guard before he even hit the ground. The scratches on his body were actually left intentionally by the secret guards.

Their wife is not Shilang Ding's concubine, but one of Shilang Ding's many spies.

Their purpose is to bring Ding Zhongwen into the Ding family and become a sword of the Ding family.

I want to ask why Ding Zhongwen was chosen? One is that he has no background, and the other is that his birth date and horoscope are very strange, which meets the requirements of Master Tianshi.

As for the Xuanyue Jade Pendant that Ding Zhongwen didn't get, the master didn't want it either. In their hands, they already have a jade pendant that can definitely look fake.

When Ding Qi arrived at the Yamen, Ni Ge had already arrived.

The moment Ding Zhongwen saw Ni Ge, a trace of panic flashed in his eyes.

He was suddenly afraid. How could he forget that Ni Ge and the others knew his true identity? What if the news that I am Ding Zhongwen of Kaiyang County comes out?

Although Mr. Xie has already suspected him, hasn't it been confirmed yet?

"Students Ni Ge, Dong Yuzhi, Wang Xiuchun and others from Kaiyang County pay homage to Mr. Xie." Ni Ge and others did not even look at them to give any charity to Ding Zhongwen, but all saluted Xie Xian respectfully.

Mr. Xie looked at Ni Ge, Dong Yuzhi and others. They were all good men with clear eyes and upright faces. Unlike Ding Zhongwen, who always dodges his eyes, a good feeling suddenly rose in his heart. He pointed at Liu Heng and the other three people who were giving first aid and asked, "Do you recognize these three people?"

Ni Ge nodded: "Master Qi, they are Liu Heng, Hu Lin and Zhang Yi, our classmates at Nanshan Academy in Kaiyang County. We all recognize them."

Mr. Xie added: "Did you know that the three of them made an appointment to drink at Yanxian Tower today?"

Ni Ge nodded: "Yeah, I know, it was our classmate Ding Zhongwen from Nanshan Academy who invited them to drink."

Mr. Xie narrowed his eyes slightly: "It's really surprising that you actually know about this."

Dong Yuzhi took a step forward, raised her hands and said, "My lord Rong Bing, Ding Zhongwen invited not only Liu Heng and the three of us, but all the students from our Nanshan Academy, including us and Ni Ge."

The shopkeeper of Yanxianlou's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Sir, I also have something to say."

Mr. Xie looked at Yan Chun: "Say."

Yan Chun spoke loudly: "Master Ding originally reserved two tables in the restaurant, but because the only people coming were the three people who were poisoned, he withdrew one table."

Mr. Xie raised his eyebrows: "Why didn't you tell me before?"

Yan Chun smiled bitterly: "Sir, the restaurant has been open for so long and there has never been a murder. Xiaomin was so panicked that he didn't think about it for a while."

He pointed to the account book in front of Mr. Xie and said: "Sir, there are records in the account book that can prove that what the common people said is true."

Mr. Xie opened the account book that he had not yet had time to look at, and saw that it was written on it that two tables had been reserved for the Tianzihao private room.

Mr. Xie's eyes returned to Ni Ge and the others: "Then why don't you go to the Yanxian Tower for the banquet?"

Ni Ge respectfully replied: "After we registered the information for the provincial examination today, we were not willing to spend our time on eating, drinking and having fun, so we declined Ding Zhongwen's invitation." Ding Zhongwen was so angry that his liver ached: he invited them to have a drink. Why did wine become eating, drinking and having fun? It really pisses him off.

Mr. Xie was a little amused when he heard this: "Aren't you afraid of offending others by not giving Ding Xiucai face?"

"Sir, there is actually another reason why we don't go to the appointment, and that is that Ding Zhongwen shouldn't have appeared here! We were afraid of getting into trouble when we went to the appointment, so we didn't go."

Ni Ge's words surprised everyone.

Ding Qi was even more frightened and took a step forward: "Sir, the common people have something to report."

Mr. Xie looked at Ding Qi and said after a while: "Come forward and talk."

Ding Qi stepped forward, wrapped the invitation from the Ding family in a book cover, and handed it over.

The servant took it and handed it to Mr. Xie.

After Xie Xian looked at it, his eyes narrowed: "Okay, I know. You go down!"

Ding Qi bowed and stepped back: "Yes."

The people around looked at this scene inexplicably. One said he had something to report, but the other took the thing and asked people to leave without asking a word. What's so fishy about this? Everyone couldn't help but wonder.

Master Xie then looked at Ni Ge and asked calmly: "He shouldn't appear here, then where should he appear?"

Ni Ge looked at Ding Zhongwen coldly: "He is Ding Zhongwen, a student of Nanshan Academy in Kaiyang County. Because he violated the law, he should be mining at the border! But he appeared in Yandu City. It is really strange."

"You are talking nonsense! I am Ding Zhongwen, a scholar from Huaiyang Prefecture in Ping County. I have never been to Kaiyang County in my life." After Ding Zhongwen saw Ding Qi appear, he looked like an old god was there. At this moment, he even looked like he had been slandered. Extremely angry: "I don't know why you slander me so much?"

"Snapped!"

"Quiet!" Mr. Xie was stunned: "What's going on with Ding Zhongwen? Call me truthfully!"

Ding Zhongwen was so frightened that his two sides trembled: "Sir, Ni Ge is talking nonsense. I don't even know him."

Ni Ge looked down at Ding Zhongwen who was kneeling on the ground with a half-smile but not a smile: "Ding Zhongwen, since you don't know me, why did you send someone to my residence this morning to invite me to the banquet?"

Ding Zhongwen choked for a moment and retorted: "No, I didn't invite you. I only invited the three of them. I don't know you."

Ni Ge sneered: "You really don't know us? Do you dare to swear? If you were Ding Zhongwen from Nanshan Academy in Kaiyang County, you would die badly!"

Ding Zhongwen looked into Ni Ge's eyes with some disbelief: That's it? Is it enough to make an oath? Is it really that simple? Did Ni Ge lie to him?

Ding Zhongwen looked at Master Xie again, and saw Master Xie also nodded and said: "Okay, as long as you swear that you don't know Ni Ge, that you are not Ding Zhongwen from Kaiyang County, and that you have not poisoned Liu Heng and others, otherwise you will not die well. The officer will let you go immediately."

Everyone suddenly raised their heads and looked at Mr. Xie: Sir, when did you become such a trivial judge of a case?

Ding Zhongwen couldn't hide the surprise in his eyes. He looked around and his eyes fell on Ding Qi.

Ding Qi didn't expect that it would be so easy to rescue Ding Zhongwen, so he immediately nodded to Ding Zhongwen without leaving a trace. It seems that the position of Minister of Household Affairs is still very useful.

Ding Zhongwen got Ding Qi's hint, and immediately put the middle finger and index finger of his right hand together, and swore to the sky: "I, Ding Zhongwen, swear: I am Ding Zhongwen, a scholar from Ping County, Huaiyang Prefecture, and I have worked with Ni Ge and others from Kaiyang County. Even if we don’t know each other, I didn’t poison Liu Heng and the others.
