After leaving the inn, Xiao Zimo thought of Wu Bai's great reaction to the fact that Su Li was going to marry Dong Heng, so he asked with concern: "Brother Bai, what's wrong with you?"

Wu Bai calmed down, and replied: "Do you still remember what I mentioned to you and Zhao Chengnan before that an innocent person would be killed by others?"

"Remember, didn't my cousin find that person for you later? It was a man named Ji Wen. My cousin even went to his house to remind him that he was not suitable for marriage recently, but the other party didn't appreciate it. In order to complete what you told me, my cousin Things, until now, people in the mansion are still staring at the other party, for fear that the other party will be harmed accidentally." Xiao Zimo said.

"Wrong, we all made a mistake, that person is not Ji Wen at all, but Dong Heng." Wu Bai shook his head and sighed.

"Dong Heng? Marriage? Could it be that the Su family will kill Dong Heng?" Xiao Zimo guessed.

But he quickly said: "A person like Dong Heng who can kill a wife, but now he is going to be killed by the newlywed's family, that's really repaying retribution, he deserves what he deserves."

"No, it wasn't the Su family who killed him, it was Yu Hongyi." Wu Bai said.

"Yu Hongyi, didn't he disappear at the border? Why did he get involved with Dong Heng again?" Xiao Zimo was puzzled.

Wu Bai thought about it, and decided to tell Xiao Zimo what was recorded in the book he saw in the space: "...that's how it is."

"So, Yu Hongyi is not dead, Su Li is pregnant with his child now." Xiao Zimo analyzed.

Seeing that he didn't doubt what he said at all, Wu Bai felt warm in his heart, nodded, and said: "It should be like this."

"I just said why Su Li suddenly changed his mind before. He no longer wanted to marry Su Li to me, but suddenly chose a small official of the Imperial Academy. He felt that Dong Heng was easier to deal with when he co-authored it. Maybe they were also rejected. Dong Heng must have been fooled, I never thought that Dong Heng would dare to do such things as killing his husband and seizing property." Xiao Zimo sighed.

"I have already advised Ning Qiao to go to Dali Temple to report on Dong Heng, do you think I am meddling?" Wu Bai looked at Xiao Zimo seriously.

Xiao Zimo chuckled, pinched his face, and said: "How could it be? Our brother Bai is the most kind-hearted, and Dong Heng should be punished by the law if he dares to do bad things. It's me, and I can't see someone doing such an outrageous thing and getting away with it."

Only then did Wu Bai smile with satisfaction.

......

After getting Wu Bai's advice, Ning Qiao quickly found out the location of Dali Temple, and then beat the drum at the gate of Dali Temple.

Hearing someone beating the drum, the people of Dali Temple couldn't ignore it, and quickly invited Ning Qiao in.

Sitting in the high hall, Master Qing Gao of Dali Temple asked Ning Qiao why.

Ning Qiao then talked about his relationship with Dong Heng and the reasons why the other party wanted to kill him.

When Mr. Gao heard that the perpetrator was actually a fellow official of the same dynasty, the Jinke Jinshi, he was furious and sent his men to the Dong family to arrest Dong Heng and collect evidence.

It was also Dong Heng's bad luck. When the yamen servants went, he was pretending to set up a mourning hall for Ning Qiao at home. The coffin was placed in the center of the hall. The yamen servants opened the coffin and found a brother dressed as a servant lying inside. The other party is Ning Qiao's personal servant.

Because Ning Qiao has been sick recently and has been drinking medicine. On this day, Dong Heng brought a bowl of medicine and wanted to feed Ning Qiao. Ning Qiao would be suspicious if he persuaded him for a long time, so he put down the medicine bowl and left. Before leaving, he persuaded Ning Qiao to drink the medicine later.

After he left, the waiter saw that the medicine was getting cold, so he held a bowl and wanted to feed Ning Qiao the medicine again. He had followed Ning Qiao since he was a child, and knew that Ning Qiao was afraid of hardship, so he took a sip himself and wanted to He coaxed Ning Qiao to say that it was not bitter, but before he could say anything, he fell to the ground, and the medicine in the bowl was scattered all over the floor.

At this moment, Ning Qiao also understood that the problem was in the bowl of medicine, but when he thought that the bowl of medicine was brought in by Dong Heng, he was terrified.

Ning Qiao endured the grief of being killed by someone who had been with him since he was a child, and escaped from the Dong Mansion while no one was looking. In the corner of the alleyway, this escaped a catastrophe.

After that, he met Wu Bai and the others. Fortunately, he was rescued by Wu Bai and the others.

in court

Dong Heng was pressed down to kneel on the ground, and Mr. Gao in the hall slapped the gavel and shouted: "Who is kneeling?"

"Xiaguan Dong Heng." Dong Heng had never seen such a posture before, and when he saw Ning Qiao who was also kneeling on the side, he immediately collapsed on the ground in fright.

"Bold Dong Heng, someone accuses you of murdering your husband. In the court, I hope you will bring it quickly, so as not to suffer flesh and blood." Master Gao said.

When seeing Ning Qiao was still alive, Dong Heng knew he was finished.

In addition to the evidence that has not been processed in his family and the testimony of the waiter in the pharmacy, Dong Heng will be sentenced no matter whether he tells the truth or not, but if he does not confess honestly, he is likely to be tortured and suffer physical pain After figuring out that he would not be able to escape this catastrophe no matter what, Dong Heng honestly explained what he had done.

He admitted that he wanted to kill Ning Qiao because he wanted to marry the younger brother of the Minister of Rites.

Mr. Gao didn't expect that the Ministry of Rites Shangshu Mansion was involved in this, so he immediately sent someone to invite Su Mingda, the Minister of Rites, to come over.

After Su Mingda came, he looked at Dong Heng coldly. He didn't expect that he would misread the jackal and mistake it for a little white rabbit.

"Master Gao." Su Mingda didn't kneel down, but he still cupped his hands and bowed to Mr. Gao.

"Come here, show Master Su a seat." Master Gao ordered.

Soon a yamen servant moved a chair to Su Mingda.

Only then did Master Gao say to Su Mingda: "Master Su, this man said that he attacked his rightful husband because he wanted to marry your younger brother."

Su Mingda didn't stand up from his seat, he just sat down and replied: "Lord Gao, this person is a reviewer of the Imperial Academy, his name is Dong Heng, this year's Jinshi of Xinke, I think he is young and promising, and his family background is clean, so I want to I want to marry him, but I never thought that the other party would dare to lie to me, telling me that he has no wife in his family, who would have known that he would do such a cruel thing behind his back."

"You are talking nonsense. You clearly know that there is a husband in my family, and you threaten me to make peace with my husband." Seeing that the other party turned black and white, Dong Heng pushed two five six, suddenly became anxious, and blurted out.

"Master Su, what Dong Heng said is slightly different from what you said, I wonder if you recognize what he said?" Master Gao asked Su Li.

Su Li looked at Mr. Gao, thinking that don't look at the other party being kind to him at the moment, he didn't grasp his own reasons, if he continued to deny, Dong Heng would show some evidence, then wouldn't he He got a charge of making false testimony in court, so after thinking about it for a while, he said again: "Well, I admit that I know that there is a husband in Dong Heng's family. I don't want my son to marry someone else as a concubine, so I propose As long as he reconciles with Fulang, I will marry his son to him, but I didn't let Dong Heng kill his Fulang, Mr. Gao, there is nothing wrong with me doing this, right?"

Mr. Gao was silent for a moment, nodded, and then said to Dong Heng: "You have evidence to refute what Mr. Su said just now. If you don't have evidence, Mr. Su can leave. After all, Mr. Su also said, He didn't ask you to kill your husband."

Dong Heng was choked, Su Mingda did not let him kill Ning Qiao, it was he himself who had evil thoughts towards Ning Qiao, Ning Qiao was the only brother of Ning Qiao's family, if Ning Qiao died, not only could he get Ning Qiao If you don't own the property, you can also marry the younger brother of Shangshu's family in the Ministry of Rites.

In this way, he had money and power gradually, and there was no better way for him than Ning Qiao's death, so without thinking too much, he immediately made up his mind to kill Ning Qiao.

However, seeing that Su Mingda was able to break up with him so easily, without taking any responsibility, Dong Heng felt resentful, and rushed towards Su Mingda, wanting to strangle him to death.

He was still muttering: "It's all your fault, if you didn't want to marry your pregnant little brother to me and pull a fig leaf for your family, how could I attack my husband? How could I end up in such a situation, it's all your fault, I'm going to kill you."

Of course, as a scholar, he was not very strong, so he was quickly pulled away by the surrounding yamen servants.

In the end, Dong Heng was sentenced to death by Mr. Gao and executed after autumn.

Su Mingda left Dali Temple safe and sound.

However, although he has nothing to do with him, his official position was still not kept. The emperor dismissed him from his home on the grounds that he was not upright and his housekeeper was not strict. Naturally, the people in the capital also heard about the murder of his wife. The reason was because he wanted to marry the pregnant Su Li to Dong Heng.

All of a sudden, as long as people from the Su family were seen going out, they would be thrown rotten eggs by the people.

Su Mingda lost his official position because of Su Li's affairs, lost his rights, and lost his reputation. Naturally, the trace of fatherly love for Su Li in his heart also disappeared. Su Li was sent out of the capital and sent to their Su family's family temple, where he planned to make Su Li reflect on himself. After that, the entire Su Mansion gradually faded away from people's sights.

Two years later, Zhao Chengnan came back from the border.

He met three people on the way back, so he brought them back with him.
