Zhao Fujin, the Emperor who brought disaster to the country

Zhao Ji is also very troubled. He is also very content to have such a daughter who will help him make money and relieve his worries.

But there is always some hidden worry in this contentment.

"Fu'er, the wind in the court has been too loud recently. Don't go out anymore to avoid being accidentally injured by the people." Zhao Ji thought for a while, and with his previous promise still there, he couldn't say anything nice: "About Meng's family, you Stay away from her. Even if she is an idle ascetic, how capable can she be?"

"Dad, do you really think that Meng Niangniang doesn't have much ability?" Zhao Fujin said rudely: "Half of the people who criticize me in the court now got her instructions, and she also influenced the public opinion among the people. She’s in control, but you think she doesn’t have much ability?”

"Fu'er, have you misunderstood? The people in the court will stare at you because you accepted Mrs. Bai's bribe, and your servant happened to be there when she died." Zhao Ji said disapprovingly: "Those among the people Not to mention the common people, they always follow the wind and rain, and they often do things like catching wind and shadows, maybe someone ordered them to do so."

"Dad, if you say that, you are also suspected of killing Mrs. Bai." Zhao Fujin decided to change his mind and said: "Lu Xiangyike has always been your internal prisoner. He has only been in Ninghe Palace for a few days, and he is being watched like this. On.

Don't be afraid, there may be many pairs of eyes around you. "

This thing is true. Lu Xiangyi works as a chamberlain in the palace. Before going to Ninghe Palace, he had never left the palace a few times. How could he appear at the scene of the murder so coincidentally and be killed by Mrs. Bai's side? Mother-in-law recognizes it?
"Does Fu'er suspect that Lu Xiangyi has also been bribed?" Zhao Ji thought about it and felt relieved: "In this case, it makes sense - according to his age, he must be asking his mother for help. I entered the palace when..."

Zhao Fujin was shocked when he heard this. If Lu Xiangyi was also from the Meng family, then she would really be in trouble this time.

As long as he directly admits to killing people under his orders during the trial, she, Zhao Fujin, can't explain it even if she has a hundred mouths!

……

In a Zen room in Lingshan Temple, Bai Chengming finally avoided the crowd and saw Mr. Cai Wulang. He hid the sadness on his face, crossed his hands, and said hello with a salute: "Shizhi Cai!"

"Mr. Bai Dalang, please sit down!" Cai Chi returned the greeting and extended his hand in greeting.

The two sat facing each other, and Bai Chengming asked with a confused look: "Cai Langjun said there is a witness, but I don't know who it is? Is there any physical evidence?"

"Before Ling Yan was assassinated, he met a monk who came to collect the sesame oil. The monk's name was Yi Zhi. After the death of the Queen Mother, he was thrown outside the temple door and was adopted by Yi Xian, the welcoming monk in the temple. Cai Ji lowered his voice: "Your mother took this Yizhi out of Prince Cai's palace back then. Prince Cai also broke his legs because of a fall and was unable to walk."

"He is the eldest son of King Cai?" Bai Chengming looked shocked and asked anxiously: "So, he killed my mother for revenge?"

"No, he doesn't know his life experience. After being adopted by Yi Xian, he was raised and educated by the eldest lady of the Meng family, Xiao Shi, with money. Yi Zhi treats her as her mother." Cai Wei explained carefully: "He He grew up with the eldest lady of the Meng family, and they were childhood sweethearts. Just when she was about to return to secular life, the eldest lady Meng was summoned to the palace by Empress Meng of the Yaohua Palace to be her companion.

"The big girl next to Mrs. Meng is in my hands now. Lord Bai Lang will understand everything when he sees her."

"Actually, even if Mr. Cai Lang doesn't say it, I also know that this matter is closely related to the Meng family." Bai Chengming sighed: "It's just pity that my mother was so loyal to her, even when she was dying, she let her mothers-in-law take care of her." The blame falls on Emperor Mingde." "You are wrong. The woman next to your mother is from the Meng family. Perhaps it was because of her presence that your mother made the mistake again and again. Hun." Cai Chi raised his hand to his shoulder and waved back, and a little girl with delicate features was brought out by Tao Niang.

The little girl's hands were tied by Bai Ling, and her mouth was tightly gagged.

Bai Ling's head was pulled into Tao Niang's hand, her face full of sorrow, and she fell down on the futon as Tao Niang swung her.

"Bai Langjun, look at this girl. She sends a lot of things to your house." Tao Niang waved her hand carelessly and tied the white silk in her hand to the pillar: "She is very cunning. If I hadn't seen the opportunity quickly, Just let her escape."

"Thank you, girl!" Bai Chengliang stepped forward and looked at her carefully, but shook his head: "I have never seen her at home, but she does look familiar."

"The mother-in-law next to your mother is her biological mother. You are right that she looks familiar to you." Tao Niang pointed at the girl and said, "We have also told you about the matter and left the person to you. Well, if you want to get rid of Meng's shadow, you can only start with this Mrs. Zhou, and this palace maid is Mrs. Zhou's only weakness."

It turned out to be Mrs. Zhou’s daughter!

Bai Chengliang understood clearly. When his mother-in-law came into the house that day, she said she wanted to be a nanny for his eldest brother. After she was rejected by the wife, she has been with her mother for more than ten years now.

But he didn't expect that it was Meng who sent it in. He thought about countless scenarios of his mother's murder, but he didn't expect that it was Mrs. Zhou who was responsible!
Bai Chengliang thanked Cai Chi, opened the door of the Zen room in person, and called on the people he brought to take the little palace maid away.

Before leaving, Bai Chengliang turned around and asked, "Why doesn't Cai Langjun take action directly?"

Cai Wei is attached to Emperor Mingde, which is a secret that everyone in the capital now knows: "Aren't you afraid that I will take away witnesses for the sake of my mother's reputation, and then rely on Emperor Ji to do this?"

"If Mr. Bai Lang is so mediocre, I will naturally not leave this person in your hands." Cai Chi did not move, but raised his head and looked at Bai Chengliang seriously: "And, you have to know, even if you put this person If the two witnesses are killed and silenced, I can also prove Di Ji's innocence, but by then, you and the entire Bai family will have to pay the price for this matter."

By the end of the conversation, it was as cold as the wind and snow outside.

Bai Chengliang looked solemn, stood in the wind and snow, cupped his hands, and led the people away with an extremely determined expression.

Tao Niang closed the door of the Zen room and asked somewhat depressedly: "Are you really prepared to live a life of soft food?"

"What's wrong with living on a soft diet for the rest of your life? At least you don't have to worry about being treated as an outcast." Cai Wei said calmly, "Aren't you a believer? Why did you go to Lingshan Temple for no reason?"

"It's not your little mother Fang Jingyi!" Tao Niang was a little depressed: "She said her body was not strong and she had to let me come to the temple to light an ever-burning lamp for her! As soon as I came, she was there, so she couldn't leave. Lost."
