Chapter 48 Chapter 23

Tao Gan led Ya Ding to rush into the ancestral hall and saw Di Gonggong watching the broken chess game carefully.Liang Pu fell to the ground and did not move.Tao Gan stepped forward to feel his pulse, but it was gone. ——The dantian has already been out of breath, and the soul has returned to the underworld. "Sir, how did he die?" "I lied to him that he had drank my tea, and he believed it. In a frenzy, his blood rushed to his brain, thinking it was impossible to save. In fact, I poured the tea he poured with me on the chessboard. ——After all, the scheming was too deep and the doubts were too heavy. When I lost the enemy, I made an empty plan. Cough, I don’t want him to be poisoned to death. Confront the monk."

While talking, a young woman in plain dress appeared at the gate of the ancestral hall, looking at them with two shining white eyes. Tao Gan said: "Miss Lan Li heard that the master came here with Liang Pu, so she hurriedly asked me to come to guard against Liang Pu, saying that he was determined to die." "Miss Lanli, Brother Ling suffered a heart attack and died." Mr. Di cast a deep glance at the blind girl. Lan Li nodded: "It's a doomsday if you gallop vigorously, and you will be angered by the sky. My brother tried his best, and finally counted his own life. If you care about it, you can't save it. ——People have thousands of calculations, and one day has one file .”

Di Gong was deeply impressed. "I offend Master Di. Was the imperial envoy killed by my elder brother?" "No, it was Zhu Munu who poisoned the imperial envoy." "Is it her? The slave family has always been worried that my brother's infatuation with her will lead to no good results and will eventually be a curse. That day, the two of them took the imperial envoy's body to the Huata Temple. paper envelope, so it was also stolen and sent to you secretly." Di Gong said: "I think it was Lingmei Xingzhi who stuffed the envelope in Captain Qiao's arms?"

"It's exactly Xingzhi. She originally wanted to send it to the governor's yamen, but she was afraid that if she mishandled it, it would be unthinkable if it leaked out. Therefore, it was a last resort to wait for the opportunity to stuff it into Captain Qiao's chest. ——The two maps were also given by Lai Xingzhi from his elder brother It was stolen. My brother didn't know about it, why did he kill her?" His voice was sour. "Xingzhi was killed by mistake. It was you, Lan Li, who the gangsters wanted to kill that day. It was also a coincidence. It was God's will. I am very grateful to Miss Lan Li for secretly helping Miss Lan Li regardless of her safety."

"Master Di is overrated. Tao Xianggong saw righteousness and bravely stood up to save me, which is a man's true nature. On the night of the trial court, it wasn't the two of them who fought hard to save me, and they were almost killed by gangsters. ——The slave family only hopes that the elder brother will rein in the precipice and not throw himself into the abyss .The elder brother regards the slave family as a bandit and pursues and kills him." After saying that, he burst into tears. "I don't understand how you, a blind woman, can move freely and dodge." "Although my family is blind in both eyes, my hands, feet, ears, and nose are very agile. I can count every brick, every tile, every tree and every nail in this ancestral mansion. Next is the Examination Court, the Nanhai Temple, where I often go to catch crickets , the door is loud and loud.”

Duke Di sighed for a long time.Then he went down to the pavilion and ordered Qiao Tai to lead all the yamen to search Liang's mansion and obtain evidence of treason.He also ordered to arrest him and said that Manser had fled, and he might not have gone to sea yet.Strictly order the city shipping department and the guards and patrols to hunt them down carefully, and not allow a single boat to set sail. After half a day, a letter was found, and it was believed that Liang Pu was really shrewd and did not leave any hidden dangers.Only a few minions were caught.Then he ordered the sedan chair and horse teeth battle to go back to the governor's mansion.

Wen Kan had been suspicious for a long time and waited for Di Gong to come back to the mansion. Di Gong smiled and held Wen Kan's sleeves, and they went into the West Hall study and sat down to talk in detail. "What happened to Mr. Liang Pu's house?" "A group of water thieves entered Liang's mansion and plundered wantonly. Mr. Liang Pu was frightened to death immediately. When the official heard the report, he led his family to go and arrest them. The water thieves scattered like birds and beasts, only the property was preserved, and Mr. Liang Pu was gone. save……"

Wen Kan sighed and asked again: "Who are those water thieves?" "I heard that it is a mob of people from the water and Fanke thugs. In the future, Dudu Wen will rule Lingnan, and the resentment of these two people must be eased. You should not discriminate against abuse, and you should also take proper precautions. Propaganda is holy and religious, rewarding and advising merchants and fishers Arrest, turn accumulated grievances into virtues, and work together for long-term security." "The head of the prisoner, what about Lubu?" "Lord Liu has been killed in Guangzhou. This officer has captured the murderer and sent him to Chang'an. The imperial court has its own disposal, so you and I don't need to go into it. If anyone asks about it, we won't answer."

Wen Kan didn't want to ask any more, and he was afraid that Liu Daoyuan's death would have something to do with his achievements in Guangzhou, so he couldn't help but frown. Di Gong said with a smile: "Master Liu's death has nothing to do with Dudu Wen. The court asked about the political performance of this place, and I will answer it myself. Dudu Wen doesn't need to think deeply." Wen Kan said gratefully: "Rely on Master Di to protect you." Di Gongdao: "There is another small matter. I would like to confirm with Dudu Wen. I heard that Dudu Wen had an affair with a Persian woman in Guangzhou in the early years, and they broke up later."

Wen Kan suddenly broke out in sweat and trembled in his heart. "Since Lord Di has asked about it, I dare not hide it. This happened more than ten years ago. I first arrived in Guangzhou, and I was Sima of the Governor's Mansion. I speculated with a Persian businessman and passed by often. I actually had a relationship with his daughter. At that time, the two were inseparable and loved each other. At that time, the imperial court strictly prohibited local officials from marrying foreign women. For this reason, I also had the idea of ​​fleeing to Persia with that foreign woman."

"One day she came to me and said she couldn't come to see me again. I asked why, but she hesitated, as if she couldn't express her difficulties. I was so stupid at the time that I thought she was going to break up with me. I didn't think about it again, Then I gave up.——Later, I became the son-in-law of the then Lingnan Daoist ambassador. A month after the marriage, the Persian woman sent a letter. It was a death letter. The letter said that she was afraid to see me again because she was pregnant. .And now she's done; she's drowned the twin girls, and she's killed herself with hatred." "At that time, I was in extreme pain, and I almost wanted to live. ——Master Di, this should be a tease of fate. I never expected such an ending. It was not just a bad breakup, it was simply too cruel. Every time I think about this for more than ten years, I feel guilty and attack, and I feel restless. I only hate that I was too young at that time, and I acted foolishly. I made a big mistake and I have no regrets. ——The wound is still bleeding. Master Di asked today, What else can I say besides feeling deeply ashamed and ashamed?" When Di Gong saw Wen Kan's true feelings burst out, he already expressed his grief.Quickly persuaded: "This official is just hearsay, and I have no intention to blame. But I also heard that your twin girls did not drown at that time, but were sent to a merchant named Fang. Her mother just provoked you with hatred. .” "What? The twin girls are still alive? Where is the businessman surnamed Fang?" Wen Kan seemed enlightened. "The merchant surnamed Fang went bankrupt and sold them to a rich man. The rich man is half Persian, he is loyal and upright, and he raised them by himself. Now they are beautiful and charming, like two strange flowers." "Master Di is serious? Where are they now? What is the rich man's name?" Wen Kan was full of surprises. "The rich man is Ni Tianji. Your twin daughters are named Ting Ye and Dan Na. Their voices and manners are all like yours. Now they are seventeen years old, and they are a pair of night pearls in Ni's mansion!" " Wen Kan burst into tears and said: "This really happened, what should I do?" "Whenever you have free time, you might as well pretend to pay a private visit, and the concubine can also calm down the pain in your heart for many years-they are living a carefree life under Mr. Ni's doting, and they are very prosperous. Dudu Wen must not admit it , but self-defeating. I just secretly made a friend with Mr. Ni and kept him calmly. ——This is a piece of sincere advice from my official before leaving Guangzhou, I would like to think twice."
