Chapter 752

64th dragon scale (10)

After the settlement of the Gan family's affairs, Miss GaN has been busy taking care of her grandmother and comforting the servants. Although adult Gan is gone, before Gan Da's life, he seems to have considered how the old mother and young daughter will spend the rest of their life if he is not there. He has saved several shops with his life savings. As long as he is not too extravagant, Miss Gan and old lady Gan can spend their life in surplus. Miss Gan is busy these days. She has to meet the shopkeepers of the shop and learn how to read the account books.

When she was finally free, she made an apricot cake and sent it to Liu's house.

It's a pity that Linglong is not here. He has been investigating the case all day. He has not returned home for several days and has slept directly in Jingzhao house. Wang is very happy to receive cakes. It's good to see where Miss Gan is. But her son has an idea and doesn't say he wants to marry at 18. She and old man Liu are always difficult to help him. Fortunately, Miss Gan said it's for thanks, so Wang accepted it, When Linglong came home from her busy schedule, she told him about Miss Gan.

Linglong tasted a piece of apricot cake, which was well done. Although it was not as good as godfather's craft, it was also good. He put the apricot cake in his mouth and said vaguely: "I'm only eighteen. What's the hurry? Mr. Mei is in his forties, but he still hasn't got married? Mother, if you want to be a matchmaker, ask Mr. Mei. "

Wang was so angry that he wanted to hit him, but he couldn't bear it. Finally, he had to pinch his face. When his son grew up, his meat was gone. It's not like when he was a child, when he pinched his face, it was a ball of tender meat.

Linglong changed her clothes, ate a meal and left again. Wang nagged while cleaning up his changed clothes. Why is the official so busy? Clearly, when they were still in Tongping County, the county magistrate had to fart every day. Why is the capital so chaotic? Tired of her six treasures!

Constable Tong and others worked day and night and finally found something to prove that the woman who was with Zhu Wen that night was not someone else, but Shuangzhi of the Jiaofang department!

Linglong asked them not to scare the snake and keep it secret. They just didn't do it. Then they went on to investigate. If Shuangzhi was the murderer who killed Zhu Wen, she must have an accomplice, and her church Secretary supervised very strictly. Zhu Wen must not have died in the church secretary. How did Shuangzhi come out? How to have a private meeting with Zhu Wen?

As time passed, exquisite's 18th birthday came. Every birthday, the shopkeeper personally cooked a large table of dishes, and then invited relatives and friends to celebrate together. There was no banquet. His family passed happily.

This year, there are more miss Gan.

When she learned about Linglong's birthday, she specially sent a single copy of the master of the previous dynasty. Wang was hospitable. She thought it would be a little bad to send the girl away again, so she decided to keep Miss Gan.

Mr. Mei and Mr. Cui turned over the single copy and were very surprised: "this is the authentic work of Wang Jiurong!"

The two people couldn't let go of the original and wanted to take it home and copy it immediately. Seeing that the normally stable two showed a childlike look, Miss Gan couldn't help covering her mouth and smiled: "this is also the original collected by my father. He often said that he loved calligraphy because of Wang Jiurong. In the past, if she was at home, she would have to write several words. Lord Liu doesn't have to feel valuable. There is still a copy of my father in my family. With that copy, it's like my father is still alive. "

Linglong asked, "Gan Da was good at writing before his life?"

"Yes." Miss Gan nodded, a little shy, but she still answered“ My father was good at writing calligraphy when he was young. He imitated the handwriting of others. It was vivid! Even the small block letters with hairpin flowers used by women can be written at a glance. "

Referring to her father's advantages, Miss Gan obviously showed a proud look. It can be seen that she is proud of her father.

But then, the smile on her face slowly faded. Today is Lord Liu's birthday. She didn't want to recall that her father had left her, but her father was brutally killed. She just wanted to find the murderer and avenge her father.

Linglong stood up and said, "Miss Gan, can you lend me your father's copy? We'll go to your house and get it now! "

Miss Gan didn't know what he was going to do. She just nodded, "naturally."

She wrapped her little feet and walked very slowly. Linglong looked worried. If she hadn't touched her, she would have been responsible. He really wanted to carry her and run away!

When they arrived at Gan's house, Miss Gan went to the study and took the copy of Lord Gan. She looked at Linglong puzzled. She didn't know what he wanted this for. Linglong ordered Sijin to take Miss Gan to Liu's house to have dinner with the elders. By the way, she told them to let them eat first. Don't wait. Now he's going to the criminal department. There's something urgent.

Then he rode his horse to the punishment department. Lord Hong was inside and saw Linglong. It was rare to see a smile on his serious face: "isn't today your birthday? Why don't you rest at home? "

Although they are friends who forget their years, they still avoid suspicion on weekdays. Linglong didn't invite many relatives and friends on her birthday. Lord Hong didn't go. On the one hand, it was unnecessary. On the other hand, he was afraid of falling into the eyes of interested people. Even if the Emperor trusted Linglong, there were many such impeachments, and the trust would be gradually eroded.

"Lord Hong! Come and see this! "

Lord Hong took the copy given by Linglong and turned a few pages. He was a little excited: "... This is the authentic work of Wang Jiurong, a great calligrapher in the previous dynasty?"

"No." Linglong denied, "this is a copy of Lord Gan."

"... what?" Lord Hong's hand turning the page froze in an instant“ Copy? It's not like that! Look at the paper, the old and the texture. Why is it not an authentic work but a copy? "

"I was surprised when I saw it earlier." Linglong said calmly, "now I think we can look at the material evidence in Mu Mingtao's case again."

At the beginning, Mu Mingtao was completely beaten to death, which proved that he collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country, which was his correspondence with neighboring countries. Zhu Wen has nothing to do with him, so naturally he can't copy his letters - but what if it's someone close to him? What if it's Mu Mingtao's student?

No one will doubt Lord Gan!

His biological father was unkind, drunk and gambling. He beat him and his mother black and blue and nearly lost his life. At this time, Mu Mingtao passed by to save him. He not only appreciated his talent and accepted him as a student, but also took him and his mother to the capital. It can be said that this is a great favor. Lord Gan's death is not enough to repay. In addition, he is an introverted and well-known person. Who would have thought that he was still involved in Mu Mingtao's case?

Only he can touch Mu Mingtao's ink, only he who has followed Mu Mingtao for many years can learn amazing words, only he can help Zhu Wen push Mu Mingtao into the abyss and can't turn over!

When reviewing the material evidence again, in addition to the bone whistle as a keepsake, there were a total of 12 correspondence, of which Mu Mingtao's six replies were forged by Lord Gan!

"... he may be thinking that one day, Mu Mingtao's case will be vindicated." Lord Hong sighed, "it's a habit that Mu Mingtao doesn't have to deliberately connect that point with the horizontal when writing the word."

But at that time, the emperor was angry. The officials in charge of investigating the case just wanted to close the case quickly. Who would investigate word by word? Looking at the copy left by Lord Gan, the word "Zhi" on it is also written in this way - he may have expected his death and had long thought of such a day.

In other words, he was definitely not voluntary at that time.

Lord Gan is famous for his filial piety. It's a coincidence that his daughter Miss Gan was born in the year of Mu Mingtao's case, and his wife died in that year.

Lord Hong and Linglong immediately pieced together the truth of the year.

Lord Gan is found and asked to forge Mu Mingtao's letter to frame Mu Mingtao. Lord Gan will not accept Mu Mingtao's kindness. In order to make him obey, the mastermind behind the scenes will force him with his closest people. Mrs. Gan's death may be the last straw to crush Mr. Gan, and he dare not say it. It is likely that his mother or his daughter, who was not long after birth, are also in each other's hands, so he can only swallow and become a chess piece of each other.

After forging the letter, Lord Gan knew that he had committed a heinous crime. He couldn't help but hope that the truth would be revealed one day, so he did something in the letter. In addition to the specially written words, the ink he used to write letters is the cheapest ink. Mu Mingtao, as a first-class Bachelor of Baohe hall and addicted to calligraphy and painting, would never use such cheap ink - the Mu Mingtao case, which would never be the case if the officials who examined it carefully at that time, but the emperor was angry and the people below wanted to calm down!

Lord Gan saw the tragic death of his teacher and the destruction of the Mu family. He was disillusioned. He also had old mothers and young daughters. He didn't dare to betray, so he was confused and never regained his ambition. He had been in the Imperial Academy for so many years.

There are two possibilities for Lord Gan's death, one is to be killed and the other is to seek revenge. From the point of view that he was bound without resistance, it is more likely to seek revenge.

In this world, he is only ashamed of the Mu family, and the Mu family has only one orphan.

Linglong and Lord Hong looked at each other, and they both thought of a very bad place to go - even if Shuangzhi was really the murderer, but she joined the teaching workshop department when she was three years old. Where did she get such great skills? Where did her accomplices come from?

"Lord Hong, the officials who examined Mu Mingtao's case are still there now?"

The name of the person was not written on the file, which is also very strange. It is reasonable to say that any case passed through the hands of any official. After the case was closed, it should be signed and charged by the official.

Lord Hong's look suddenly became strange: "the official who examined Mu Mingtao's case was the crown prince and Grand Master of that year. After Mu Mingtao fell in love with the law, he was an official and a hall college student. Lord Chao Wenhua was the first Bachelor in the hall."

They then looked at each other for a long time, smelling a terrible conspiracy.

The crown prince and grand master, that is to say, Chao Wenhua was once loyal to the son of the former Emperor, but now he is an important minister in today's world. As we all know, today, Chao Wenhua is suspicious. What kind of investment certificate does Chao Wenhua have to hand over in order to stay in the position of Bachelor of Baohe hall for more than ten years, and no one can shake his position?

Coincidentally, he happened to be the official in charge of Mu Mingtao's case.

Now, Mu Mingtao's case has basically been determined to be an unjust, false and wrong case, but will the emperor be willing to accept this fact? Will he admit that he made a mistake?

impossible.

Everyone in the world is wrong, and the emperor will not be wrong.

"I'll go to Gan's house to see how old lady Gan is. She will never forget what happened 15 years ago. If there is her confession, we can use it as evidence at that time."

Lord Hong got up and said, "I'll go with you."

When they got out of the criminal department, they found that it was almost dark. They took care of the root cause of the case. They didn't expect time to pass so quickly.

Miss Gan quickly came out to meet Linglong when she learned that the two adults wanted to see Mrs. Gan. She was a little embarrassed: "grandma, although she is better, she still can't speak. I'm afraid..."

"It's all right. I just want to ask her a few words. It's about Lord Gan. Please accommodate Miss Gan."

Linglong's words were gentle, and miss Gan blushed slightly: "those two adults, please follow me."

They entered the old lady's room. The room was fresh and clean. We could see that Miss Gan was very attentive to her grandmother. The old lady was lying in bed. Although she could not speak or move, her spirit was good.

Linglong explained her intention first, and the old man shed two lines of tears in the corners of his eyes. Obviously, she hasn't come out yet for the loss of her son, and she is still immersed in great grief.

Linglong guessed right. Mrs. Gan really remembered what happened 15 years ago, but she didn't know much. She just thought that someone wanted to blackmail, so she tied her and her daughter-in-law and her newborn granddaughter. Her daughter-in-law was killed to threaten her son. She cried bitterly holding her little granddaughter. Unexpectedly, the group somehow released their grandparents and grandchildren, and then Mu Mingtao had an accident, Once the weather changes.

Linglong asked. The old lady only needed to blink to answer yes or no, while Lord Hong recorded it.

After asking, Linglong tucked in the quilt corner for the old lady and comforted her: "don't worry, take good care of your body. I'll ask for a result for Mrs. Gan's death and adult Gan's death."

The old lady winked her gratitude.

Then miss Gan sent them away and came back to take care of the old lady. She wiped her face and body. She did it herself for fear that others would not serve her well.

The old lady hummed. Miss Gan understood her grandmother's meaning. This is praising that adult Liu was young and promising. Her face was slightly red. Then she thought of something and darkened: "adult Liu is a talented person. I don't know how many noble women in Beijing love Qi Da Fei. I don't match him. I just want to find a kind and ordinary man to marry and honor my grandmother together in the future."

She thought for a while, then narrowed her eyes and smiled, "grandma should get better quickly, otherwise I can't pick a good husband alone."

The old lady didn't know what to say and smiled.

The next day Linglong went to court and met Chao Wenhua. In the past, he didn't pay much attention to the old man, but after learning about his performance in Mu Mingtao's case, he couldn't help thinking about what darkness and malice were hidden under this kind face.

Mu Mingtao always oppressed Chao Wenhua. If Mu Mingtao didn't die, Chao Wenhua couldn't stand out. Mu Mingtao was discredited, and Chao Wenhua was the most profitable person. Linglong didn't believe that he didn't do anything in it. Linglong even suspected him as the mastermind behind Mu Mingtao's case.

Chao Wenhua smiled. He was very friendly to everyone. Linglong deliberately walked slowly and lagged behind him. He also took the initiative to talk to Linglong. After a while, he asked about Linglong's marriage.

Countless people are paying attention to the exquisite marriage event. He has a promising future and is simple in the heart of the emperor. Fortunately, the emperor has no daughter, otherwise he can't turn to others! The 18-year-old man of the next family has already married. The court wants to marry him more, but he is still unmoved. People really doubt that he wants to marry an immortal to be satisfied.

"I have a granddaughter. If love is the apple of my eye, it will be 16 this year. If Lord Liu meets, they should have a lot to say."

Chao Wenhua chuckles and Linglong laughs, but he doesn't agree. He doesn't want to marry Chao Wenhua's granddaughter.

The two had a friendly exchange all the way to the gate of the palace. Chao Wenhua was old and usually took a carriage in court. Today, his carriage was waiting on the side early. A plain white jade hand raised the driving curtain and vaguely revealed half of his beautiful face: "Grandpa?"

Chao Wenhua said with a smile, "Shi Shi, haven't you come to see Lord Liu soon?"

Then he introduced Linglong: "this is my granddaughter Chao Huixin. She is a famous poet and poet. She has read poetry and books since she was a child. She can play piano, chess, calligraphy and painting."

"Grandpa!"

The girl obviously gave a cry of displeasure and came out of the carriage, which immediately brightened her eyes! But seeing her in a pink butterfly skirt embroidered with moon white cage yarn, her skin is as fat and beautiful as the moon, she is really a rare beauty.

After seeing Linglong, she was stunned first, then slightly lowered her head, and a faint blush appeared on her pink cheeks.

Chao Wenhua smiled more and more happily: "it seems that my granddaughter is shy!"

Chao Huixin secretly beat Chao Wenhua. Chao Wenhua was not angry at all and indulged: "well, the big girl's family should be generous outside. Don't you want to meet Lord Liu soon?"

Chao Huixin politely said, "I've seen Lord Liu."

Linglong has long been used to the girl's family blushing and hugging her fist: "Miss Chao, don't be polite. Old Chao, I don't have to stay much longer because I have important things to do."

"Lord Liu, go."

Linglong bows to Chao Wenhua again, then gets on his horse and goes away. It's unforgettable.

Chao Wenhua saw that his granddaughter was still watching, and couldn't help teasing: "people are gone, still watching?"

Chao Huixin blushed and muttered, "Grandpa knew to make fun of others... Grandpa, do you think Lord Liu is very good?"

"Young and promising indeed." Chao Wenhua nodded and got into the carriage. When his grandparents and grandchildren stayed in the carriage, he asked solemnly, "is what you saw in your dream true? He finally really helped the eleventh Prince ascend the throne as emperor? "

Chao Huixin nodded: "that's right. Otherwise, her granddaughter wouldn't pay so much attention to him from the beginning. She would give him convenience when he went to Beijing for the exam. If you want to keep the Chao family, only he can do it. And in the future, he will be a grand master who has the power to both the government and the public. Marrying him must be beneficial without harm. "

Hearing the speech, Chao Wenhua pondered a little: "in this case, I have to contact the eleventh Prince again. After fifteen years of parting, I don't know how far he is now hiding his power and biding his time."

Chao Huixin said, "Grandpa, there's another person. I think we should deal with it."

"Who?"

"Daughter of Gan Ping." Chao Huixin's beautiful face was particularly cold at this moment. "In my dream, she married Liu Linglong, and she helped Linglong uncover the truth of Mu Mingtao's case, which overturned our Chao family. She must die."

Chao Wenhua nodded: "I'll ask someone to do it. You should continue to send someone to keep an eye on Liu Linglong, so as not to be lifted by him."

Chao Huixin smiled confidently, "I will. Grandpa can rest assured."

The grandparents and grandchildren smiled at each other and felt quite proud that they had the victory in hand and everything was under control.

After a few days, Jingzhao mansion found out many things again. Linglong went to the Jiaofang department again. This time he didn't even bring four kilograms and went alone.

His mother was overjoyed when she saw him. Adult Liu was not only well-off, but also very rich. She heard that he came to find Shuang weaving again. Without saying a word, her mother led him in.

Frost weaving was not surprised. She knew he would come again. Maybe she also brought evidence related to her.

Therefore, there was no shyness and shyness on her face when she met for the first time, but a backwater like calm, "Lord Liu."

"I haven't seen you for days. Shuangzhi is still as bright and moving as ever."

Shuangzhi was slightly stunned. She didn't understand what he was doing. Didn't she come to catch her?

Linglong held out his hand to her. The hand was slender and beautiful, with distinct bony joints, just like a work of art carved from white jade. But Shuangzhi stayed in his arms last time. He knew that this man looked like a jade tree facing the wind, but he was actually very powerful. He didn't have any fat on his body. He should be a master of Kung Fu.

She stood up and put her hand on it, so she was pulled into her arms again by Linglong and sat on his hard thigh. What she said in her ear was not so fragrant: "once Zhu Wen and Gan Ping die, you're going to kill Chao Wenhua, aren't you?"

Shuangzhi was shocked and was about to get up, but she was firmly trapped by him and could only be forced to look at him.

Those dark eyes were extremely deep and dangerous, as if they could see through her soul. Shuangzhi couldn't help shaking. She wanted to leave the terrible man, but he wouldn't let go. He even approached her ear and whispered like a devil: "... I can help you."

……

what?

Shuangzhi was stunned.

She was quite lovely. Linglong frivolously pinched her little ear and suddenly amplified her voice: "a frost weaving girl must accompany me today."

After that, he picked her up horizontally and went directly into the Luowei. Others only saw that the two people on the bed were intertwined and close to each other. It was obvious that adult Liu, who was not close to women, could not resist the beauty of Shuangzhi and went to Wushan with her.

The eye in the corner of the wall left quietly, and a small decorative wooden plate fell gently, covering the small hole for monitoring.

When Linglong left, she didn't forget to kiss Shuangzhi and left her a stack of silver tickets, at least 10000 Liang. When her mother came in, she saw that Shuangzhi was delicate and weak. She came forward specially, seemingly caring, but in fact she opened the quilt to check. Liu Linglong was a person who gave birth to 17 or 8 orifices more than others in her heart. She didn't believe it if she didn't see it with her own eyes. Finally, her mother was very satisfied. She gently stroked the cream woven hair: "good boy, Liu Linglong has been fascinated by you. You know what to do next, don't you?"

Frost weaving answered softly, "Mom, don't worry."
