It was night, the second watch, and Cheng Yi took Cheng En to the prison of the Criminal Ministry.
When they arrived at the prison cell, Zhang Ziliao was already fully clothed and lying under the quilt. Standing in front of the cell, Cheng Yi had mixed feelings when he saw the situation. His mind was full of the situation at the official minister's mansion that day, the hatred of being framed, the pain of punishment, and the future I can still recall the despair of that day here and now.
"Open the door, I have a classmate with him, let's go in and catch up." Cheng Yi spoke slowly to the prison chief behind him.
The prison chief took out the key and stepped forward to open the lock, then took a step back and said, "My lord, please."
"Well, go get busy." Cheng Yi dismissed the cell boss and stepped into the cell.
Zhang Ziliao opened his eyes when he unlocked the lock, heard Cheng Yi's footsteps coming in, lifted the quilt and sat up.
"Brother Zhang, it's been a few days since Shibai, it's really feng shui." Cheng Yi walked to the bed opposite Zhang Ziliao, and sat down slowly, "I really admire you, you can still sleep in such a situation."
"Cheng Yi, don't be complacent. Don't forget that the divorce letter you wrote is still in my hand. You don't really want to ruin your reputation, do you?" Zhang Ziliao stood up after saying that, and walked towards Cheng Yi for a few minutes. Step forward, bent down to look at Cheng Yi.
Cheng Yi narrowed his eyes and said, "Zhang Ziliao, you still dare to propose a divorce letter to me." After Cheng Yi finished speaking, he suddenly stood up, approached Zhang Ziliao, and said, "The revenge of forcing a divorce is irreconcilable. You can You know, as long as I imagine Liniang's pain after receiving the letter of divorce every night, I want to tear you to pieces!!!"
"Hahahahaha!" Zhang Ziliao laughed loudly, "Cheng Yi, Cheng Yi, you divorced your wife yourself, you can't bear the pain of punishment yourself, do you blame me?"
Cheng Yi clenched her fists tightly when she heard this, if she wasn't afraid that her daughter would be destroyed by torture, how could she lose her integrity under torture?
"Zhang Ziliao!!!" Cheng Yi stepped forward and punched Zhang Ziliao, hitting Zhang Ziliao in the face, and then grabbed Zhang Ziliao's collar and forced him to the wall.
"Zhang Ziliao, if you hadn't framed me for murder in the Minister's Mansion of the Ministry of Officials, if you hadn't been in collusion to frame me, how could I, Cheng Yi, have ended up where I am today?" Cheng Yi's eyes turned red. The marriage must be refused in a fair manner, maybe now she has already reunited with her husband and wife, and the family is happy and harmonious.
"Zhang Ziliao, you must die today!"
Zhang Ziliao's face changed when he heard the words, and then he calmed down: "Cheng Yi, don't bully me. This is the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. How dare you commit murder? Don't forget that Shangshu of the Ministry of Criminal Justice is my mentor. You heard it in class. As long as I Confess the person behind the scenes and show the evidence, and my teacher can protect me."
"Hahahaha." Cheng Yi laughed, then looked at Zhang Ziliao, "Let me tell you, what the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment said won't work this time, I, Cheng Yi, will let you die at the third watch tonight, and Lord Yama will not dare to keep you until the fifth watch .”
"You!!!" Zhang Ziliao's eyes widened, "If you dare to speak before Your Majesty to kill me, I will definitely ruin your reputation on the day of execution and let the princess know what kind of person she married, and I will die!" If you don't make it easy, you'd better be smarter."
"Hehe, if you are ordered to spread the word, then I will lose." After Cheng Yi said that, he turned around and took Cheng En away. When he stepped out of Zhang Ziliao's cell door, Cheng Yi heard a sound from the cell on the left opposite, and called out. cell head.
"My lord, what's the matter?" The jailer ran over.
"I'm done reminiscing about the past, let's lock it up." Cheng Yi said and led Cheng En out.
Zhang Ziliao ran to the prison door and shouted at Cheng Yi: "Cheng Yi!!! You stand..."
Just as Zhang Ziliao wanted to call Cheng Yi to stop, unexpectedly his heart hurt, when he lowered his head, a small arrow stuck in his heart.
The prison boss was locked, and the arrow flew past his ear. When he looked up, he saw the arrow in Zhang Ziliao's heart. He was shocked, but there was no one suspicious when he looked around. Master Cheng, turn around quickly, someone is assassinating."
Hearing the voice, Cheng Yi lowered his head and said to Cheng En, "Be careful, the assassin is in the front left of Zhang Ziliao's cell, Uncle Yang Guo might take the risk and kill the chief judge."
"Don't worry, my lord." Cheng En shook the dagger in his hand.
Cheng Yi took a deep breath, turned around, and walked quickly to Zhang Ziliao's cell.
Uncle Yang's men sneaked into the cell, and dealt with the prisoners in the cell on the left opposite Zhang Ziliao. They were about to take out the crossbow and shoot Zhang Ziliao and Cheng Yi, but Cheng Yi came out. When he picked up the crossbow, Cheng Yi Yi had already turned the corner, and he couldn't shoot Cheng Yi from his direction at all, he could only shoot Zhang Ziliao who ran to the door.But to his delight, Cheng Yi went and returned.
"Whoosh!!!"
An arrow shot towards Cheng Yi, but Cheng En quickly blocked it. Cheng En protected Cheng Yi behind him, and shot the dagger in his hand at the only living person in the cell.
Uncle Yang's eyes widened in disbelief.
Hearing the sound, the prison chief quickly took people to the front left cell to check the assassin's life and death.
Cheng Yi stepped into Zhang Ziliao's cell, and slowly squatted down beside Zhang Ziliao.
Zhang Ziliao covered his heart with his hands, his index finger was already stained red with blood, when he saw Cheng Yi, he widened his eyes: "It's you..."
"It's me, I brought a letter to Uncle Yang, telling him that you have evidence of him stealing treasury silver and reselling tax grains, but you will not show it until tomorrow. Tell him, before you interview Uncle Yang Guo Shall I kill you?" Cheng Yi raised his hand and pressed the arrow in Zhang Ziliao's heart down as he spoke, at this moment, the third watch drum was just beating outside.
Facing the pain on Zhang Ziliao's face, Cheng Yi smiled wickedly: "It's the third watch, what's the matter? I will let you die at the third watch tonight, and the King of Hades dare not keep you until the fifth watch."
"You..." Zhang Ziliao looked at Cheng Yi with staring eyes, and lost his breath in an instant.
Seeing that Zhang Ziliao had died, Cheng was stunned for a moment, then grabbed Zhang Ziliao's prison clothes and wiped the blood stained on his hands.
"You idiots, you don't even know the assassin came in." From the door of the prison came the angry voice of Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment.
Upon hearing this, Cheng Yi quickly helped Zhang Ziliao up: "Brother Ziliao, brother Ziliao!!!"
Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment walked over quickly, seeing Zhang Ziliao in Cheng Yi's arms, he was stunned for a while, walked into the prison to sniff, then glanced at Cheng Yi who was very sad, and stood up silently.
"My lord, the assassin has been captured, but he is already dead." The jailer stepped forward to report.
The Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment took a look at this moment, then slowly turned around and said, "Unexpectedly, Cheng Shilang has a deep friendship with Ziliao."
"Brother Ziliao and I are classmates. He committed a serious crime this time, so he came to see him in the prison. Before he left, he said he would intercede for him in front of His Majesty. Who knew that he was assassinated by an assassin just a few steps away. "Cheng Yi put down Zhang Ziliao, raised his official robe and wiped the corner of his eyes, "Just now I was talking about the time when I was studying in the past, and he left in the blink of an eye. Things are impermanent. Just now, fortunately, my servant is very agile, Otherwise, Cheng Yi will go with brother Zi Liao."
"What? Is the assassin going to assassinate Cheng Shilang too?" Asked the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment.
"Master Cheng, it was really dangerous just now, the assassin's arrow almost hurt Master Cheng." The jailer replied.
Cheng Yi glanced at the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment, approached and said, "My lord, the murderer who killed brother Zi Liao also wanted to kill me. I'm afraid someone wants to kill someone to silence him. Let's quickly enter the palace tomorrow morning."
"What Cheng Shilang said is reasonable, come on, take the murderer's body and..." The Minister of Criminal Justice glanced at Zhang Ziliao on the ground, "and Zhang Ziliao's body to the morgue."
"Yes, my lord." The prison chief took the order and led the men to start moving the corpse.
"Cheng Shilang, it's late at night, let's go back to the mansion early, I don't want the princess to come to the Criminal Department to find someone in person." The Minister of the Criminal Department looked at Cheng Yi and said.
Hearing the words, Cheng Yi cupped his hands and said, "So, Cheng Yi is leaving."
After Cheng Yi left, the Secretary of the Ministry of Justice leaned on the prison door and sighed. He had doubts, but he couldn't ask deeply. Tonight made him feel powerless like never before.
Cheng Yi returned to Junma Mansion, stopped at the screen wall and said to Cheng En: "Although I am happy that you decided to stay, but you have to think clearly, when you go home to see your mother and sister in the future, it may be very embarrassing."
"Young Master has the grace to save my life, Cheng En swears to follow Young Master to the death."
"Since you've made up your mind, I won't say anything more, but don't mention me at all when you go back in the future." Cheng Yi whispered.
"Cheng En understands."
"Okay, let's go back to the room and rest." Cheng Yi said and strode towards the back house.
Gently pushing open the door, there was still a faint light in the room, Cheng Yi quietly went to the back cabin, when he pushed the door of the cabin, Cheng Yi was in the door blankly.
The furnishings in the hut changed, and the bed disappeared, Cheng Yi was stunned for a few seconds and turned cold.
When he was young, footsteps sounded behind him, and Cheng Yi didn't turn his head.The person behind him spoke after standing for a few seconds.
"Junma." Song Rongyue said shyly, wearing a pink jacket and black hair.
Cheng Yi took a deep breath, adjusted his emotions, turned around slowly, and said with a smile: "Princess, are you still asleep?"
Song Rongyue took a step forward and said, "Ah Hua said you went out at the second watch, and I just didn't feel sleepy, so I waited for you to come back." After finishing speaking, she glanced at the hut, blushing and said, "Well, the one I raised today The little rabbit didn't know why it came to the hut and soiled the mattress, so I asked the servants to move the bed away."
Cheng Yi frowned for a moment and then quickly spread out. Cheng Yi knew the lie, every day when she left, she deliberately knocked on the door. How could the rabbit knock the door open?Could it be that the princess already feels that they are familiar with each other, and plans to go further?
"It's okay, I'll go to the wing to sleep tonight." After Cheng Yi said, he opened his legs and walked to Song Rongyue, but was held by Song Rongyue's hand.
"Junma." Song Rongyue was shy and anxious. Ah Hua's dead girl would never give her good advice, but she listened again, and said bravely: "The servants are all asleep, and the wing room is not yet ready." Clean up, why don't you go first tonight......Go to the main couch and sleep first."
After hearing this, Cheng Yi's heart sank to the bottom of the valley, and he turned around slowly, facing Song Rongyue and said, "Princess, didn't you say to live separately first, although something happened suddenly tonight, Cheng Yi didn't want to embarrass the princess .”
"It's not embarrassing..." Song Rongyue was in a hurry, and felt embarrassed after speaking, "Junma and I are husband and wife." After saying that, without waiting for Cheng Yi's reaction, he ran out of Cheng Yi.
Cheng Yi staggered two steps back, raised her arm, and was about to slam it against the door frame, but when it stopped, she couldn't make any noise.
"Could it be that my innocence is going to kill me." Cheng Yi muttered to himself, and walked out with heavy steps for a long time.
On the main couch, Song Rongyue had already gone to bed, lying facing the wall, her right hand was holding the quilt trembling constantly, and her heart was also very nervous.
Cheng Yi came out of the hut, walked to the bed step by step, stood for a long time, took off the black gauze hat, untied the official robe, grabbed one side of the curtain, took a deep breath and opened the curtain, glanced at the princess, turned and sat down Get off, take off your official boots, throw off the quilt, and get on the bed.
Song Rongyue closed her eyes, not daring to move, Cheng Yi made up her mind and lay down with her back to Song Rongyue, silent.Song Rongyue waited for a long time, but there was no movement from Cheng Yi. After thinking for a long time, she thought that Cheng Yi would not dare to be presumptuous without her speaking, but even if she mustered up the courage, she couldn't speak. There is no one next to the pillow.
Song Rongyue stared blankly at the position where Cheng Yi lay down last night.
At this time, Cheng Yi was already in court, and that old thief Yang Qin was on sick leave. Obviously the assassin hadn't returned last night, so the old thief dared not go to court.
There were many followers of Yang Qin in the court, Cheng Yi and the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment coincidentally did not report on Uncle Yang Guo, and only after the court was over and entered the imperial study did they reveal the evidence and what happened last night.
"That old thief will not come out easily. If I want to catch him, the Imperial Forest Army will fight with the dead men in his house, and the people of the capital will suffer." Emperor Tianshun left the dragon case and said with his hands behind his back.
The Secretary of the Ministry of Justice said: "Your Majesty, you can do it in the middle of the night. The Yang Mansion is remote. As long as you move quickly at night and don't expand the scope, it will definitely not affect the people."
Emperor Tianshun nodded, strode to the dragon case, took out a booklet and said: "This is Yang Qin's party members, let me take it together. Huang Qing and the nine admirals went to arrest Yang Qin, Cheng Yi led the Imperial Forest Army to arrest other party members.
"Here."
Cheng Yi and the Secretary of the Ministry of Justice left the imperial study and went to prepare separately. Cheng Yi took the imperial decree to find the commander of the Imperial Forest Army to discuss arresting Yang Dang at night.
In that room, in a teahouse in the capital, Shen Wenchang was sitting opposite Tang Hongfei, drinking tea cup after cup.
Tang Hongfei looked at Shen Wenchang and said, "Wan'er......"
"She's fine." Shen Wenchang interrupted Tang Hongfei and put down his cup, "I married a scholar. It is said that her family is rich and well-off. The son's character is still three matchmakers and six hired, and it is really rare to marry as a regular wife."
"Mancang, you and my brother, why bother to be sarcastic, I don't have the guts to disobey my parents and marry Wan'er, I'm not a husband, but then again, did the fourth brother have the guts to marry Liniang at the Shengle Workshop in person, causing many scholars to scold her, What happened in the end? Don't you want to divorce Liniang in the end?" Tang Hongfei said as he put down his teacup.
Shen Wenchang was silent when he heard the words, and said for a long time: "Speaking of her, she doesn't know what pain she has. The brows are no longer as bright as they used to be, and now they are covered with sadness."
Tang Hongfei sighed, "I went to look for the fourth brother before he got married, but I didn't see him but was tied up by the prince. At that time, I knew that the fourth brother was out of control now. We are all like rats and ants in front of power. When we were children, we were all too naive."
Shen Wenchang stood up and walked to the window. This time when he came to Beijing, he wanted to have a drink and talk together, but unexpectedly, everyone was different, today is not yesterday.
"In this way, she was indeed forced to marry." Shen Wenchang pondered for a long time. Apart from the threat of the lives of his relatives, there is no other way for Cheng Yi to divorce his wife and marry another one. Besides, marrying the Princess is a risk of being beheaded after being discovered. It's dangerous, she doesn't believe that Cheng Yi doesn't know the pros and cons of it, could it be that Cheng Yi is desperate to seek life?
"Hongfei, you are both in the capital, did she tell you what she went through?"
Tang Hongfei poured a cup of tea: "Don't mention it. After he got married to the princess, I kept looking for opportunities to meet him. Finally, I met him once. I asked him, but he didn't say a word, and asked me to never interfere with his affairs." Things, even stay away from him, do you think he is decent, I am his sworn brother anyway."
"Perhaps, you and I are not capable enough to help her. Is there a possibility that she keeps you away from her in order to protect you?" Shen Wenchang felt that marrying the princess is very dangerous. If there is a way, Cheng Yi will not help himself. If there is still a way to turn back, he will not keep silent to her.
"Hongfei, let's find a chance to go to her again, ask her clearly, and let's think of a solution together."
Tang Hongfei shook his head when he heard the words, and said, "What else can I think of? The royal recruiting a son-in-law will allow Cheng Yi to have an equal wife? Besides, even if the princess is willing, Liniang's temper will not be willing, and that Lord, you haven't seen it before, but I have learned it. He said, if I tell about Cheng Yi's ex-wife, not only my family, but also my Yue's family will suffer. It is impossible for the Lord to let Cheng Yi go and let the princess be criticized by the world."
"Then, what if Cheng Yi is allowed to fake his death?" Shen Wenchang looked into Tang Hongfei's eyes.
"Fake death?" Tang Hongfei was stunned, and asked for a while, "Then the Princess has become a widow?"
Shen Wenchang was startled and remained silent for a long time.
"Mancang, when your father-in-law had an accident, it was Cheng Yi and Jinwen who were begging the princess in Beijing to intercede. You wouldn't ignore the Lu family's benefactor for the sake of Liniang and Cheng Yi, would you?" Tang Hongfei stood up, "Mancang , this matter is in a dilemma, besides, we are all officials of the eighth rank, can we take care of the affairs of the Tian family?"
"No matter what, we still have to find her, we can't see her in jail and not rescue her." Shen Wenchang said.
Tang Hongfei thought for a while and said: "Come on, who told us to become sworn brothers? It's another matter if he doesn't say it at that time, and doesn't accept your kindness. It's because he refuses to talk to each other, not because you and I are unrighteous brothers. "
Shen Wenchang looked at Tang Hongfei in surprise, sighed and stopped talking, why did such a terrible thing happen in this life.
When they arrived at the prison cell, Zhang Ziliao was already fully clothed and lying under the quilt. Standing in front of the cell, Cheng Yi had mixed feelings when he saw the situation. His mind was full of the situation at the official minister's mansion that day, the hatred of being framed, the pain of punishment, and the future I can still recall the despair of that day here and now.

Zhang Ziliao opened his eyes when he unlocked the lock, heard Cheng Yi's footsteps coming in, lifted the quilt and sat up.
"Brother Zhang, it's been a few days since Shibai, it's really feng shui." Cheng Yi walked to the bed opposite Zhang Ziliao, and sat down slowly, "I really admire you, you can still sleep in such a situation."
"Cheng Yi, don't be complacent. Don't forget that the divorce letter you wrote is still in my hand. You don't really want to ruin your reputation, do you?" Zhang Ziliao stood up after saying that, and walked towards Cheng Yi for a few minutes. Step forward, bent down to look at Cheng Yi.

After Cheng Yi finished speaking, he suddenly stood up, approached Zhang Ziliao, and said, "The revenge of forcing a divorce is irreconcilable.

"Zhang Ziliao!!!" Cheng Yi stepped forward and punched Zhang Ziliao, hitting Zhang Ziliao in the face, and then grabbed Zhang Ziliao's collar and forced him to the wall.
"Zhang Ziliao, if you hadn't framed me for murder in the Minister's Mansion of the Ministry of Officials, if you hadn't been in collusion to frame me, how could I, Cheng Yi, have ended up where I am today?" Cheng Yi's eyes turned red. The marriage must be refused in a fair manner, maybe now she has already reunited with her husband and wife, and the family is happy and harmonious.
"Zhang Ziliao, you must die today!"
Zhang Ziliao's face changed when he heard the words, and then he calmed down: "Cheng Yi, don't bully me. This is the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. How dare you commit murder?

"Hehe, if you are ordered to spread the word, then I will lose." After Cheng Yi said that, he turned around and took Cheng En away. When he stepped out of Zhang Ziliao's cell door, Cheng Yi heard a sound from the cell on the left opposite, and called out. cell head.
"My lord, what's the matter?" The jailer ran over.
"I'm done reminiscing about the past, let's lock it up." Cheng Yi said and led Cheng En out.
Zhang Ziliao ran to the prison door and shouted at Cheng Yi: "Cheng Yi!!! You stand..."
Just as Zhang Ziliao wanted to call Cheng Yi to stop, unexpectedly his heart hurt, when he lowered his head, a small arrow stuck in his heart.
The prison boss was locked, and the arrow flew past his ear. When he looked up, he saw the arrow in Zhang Ziliao's heart. He was shocked, but there was no one suspicious when he looked around. Master Cheng, turn around quickly, someone is assassinating."

"Don't worry, my lord." Cheng En shook the dagger in his hand.
Cheng Yi took a deep breath, turned around, and walked quickly to Zhang Ziliao's cell.
Uncle Yang's men sneaked into the cell, and dealt with the prisoners in the cell on the left opposite Zhang Ziliao. They were about to take out the crossbow and shoot Zhang Ziliao and Cheng Yi, but Cheng Yi came out. When he picked up the crossbow, Cheng Yi Yi had already turned the corner, and he couldn't shoot Cheng Yi from his direction at all, he could only shoot Zhang Ziliao who ran to the door.But to his delight, Cheng Yi went and returned.

An arrow shot towards Cheng Yi, but Cheng En quickly blocked it. Cheng En protected Cheng Yi behind him, and shot the dagger in his hand at the only living person in the cell.

Cheng Yi raised his hand and pressed the arrow in Zhang Ziliao's heart down as he spoke, at this moment, the third watch drum was just beating outside.
Facing the pain on Zhang Ziliao's face, Cheng Yi smiled wickedly: "It's the third watch, what's the matter? I will let you die at the third watch tonight, and the King of Hades dare not keep you until the fifth watch."
"You..." Zhang Ziliao looked at Cheng Yi with staring eyes, and lost his breath in an instant.
Seeing that Zhang Ziliao had died, Cheng was stunned for a moment, then grabbed Zhang Ziliao's prison clothes and wiped the blood stained on his hands.

Song Rongyue closed her eyes, not daring to move, Cheng Yi made up her mind and lay down with her back to Song Rongyue, silent.Song Rongyue waited for a long time, but there was no movement from Cheng Yi. After thinking for a long time, she thought that Cheng Yi would not dare to be presumptuous without her speaking, but even if she mustered up the courage, she couldn't speak. There is no one next to the pillow.
Song Rongyue stared blankly at the position where Cheng Yi lay down last night.
At this time, Cheng Yi was already in court, and that old thief Yang Qin was on sick leave. Obviously the assassin hadn't returned last night, so the old thief dared not go to court.
There were many followers of Yang Qin in the court, Cheng Yi and the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment coincidentally did not report on Uncle Yang Guo, and only after the court was over and entered the imperial study did they reveal the evidence and what happened last night.
"That old thief will not come out easily. If I want to catch him, the Imperial Forest Army will fight with the dead men in his house, and the people of the capital will suffer." Emperor Tianshun left the dragon case and said with his hands behind his back.
The Secretary of the Ministry of Justice said: "Your Majesty, you can do it in the middle of the night. The Yang Mansion is remote. As long as you move quickly at night and don't expand the scope, it will definitely not affect the people."
Emperor Tianshun nodded, strode to the dragon case, took out a booklet and said: "This is Yang Qin's party members, let me take it together. Huang Qing and the nine admirals went to arrest Yang Qin, Cheng Yi led the Imperial Forest Army to arrest other party members.
"Here."
Cheng Yi and the Secretary of the Ministry of Justice left the imperial study and went to prepare separately. Cheng Yi took the imperial decree to find the commander of the Imperial Forest Army to discuss arresting Yang Dang at night.
In that room, in a teahouse in the capital, Shen Wenchang was sitting opposite Tang Hongfei, drinking tea cup after cup.
Tang Hongfei looked at Shen Wenchang and said, "Wan'er......"
"She's fine." Shen Wenchang interrupted Tang Hongfei and put down his cup, "I married a scholar. It is said that her family is rich and well-off. The son's character is still three matchmakers and six hired, and it is really rare to marry as a regular wife."
"Mancang, you and my brother, why bother to be sarcastic, I don't have the guts to disobey my parents and marry Wan'er, I'm not a husband, but then again, did the fourth brother have the guts to marry Liniang at the Shengle Workshop in person, causing many scholars to scold her, What happened in the end? Don't you want to divorce Liniang in the end?" Tang Hongfei said as he put down his teacup.
Shen Wenchang was silent when he heard the words, and said for a long time: "Speaking of her, she doesn't know what pain she has. The brows are no longer as bright as they used to be, and now they are covered with sadness."
Tang Hongfei sighed, "I went to look for the fourth brother before he got married, but I didn't see him but was tied up by the prince. At that time, I knew that the fourth brother was out of control now. We are all like rats and ants in front of power. When we were children, we were all too naive."
Shen Wenchang stood up and walked to the window. This time when he came to Beijing, he wanted to have a drink and talk together, but unexpectedly, everyone was different, today is not yesterday.
"In this way, she was indeed forced to marry." Shen Wenchang pondered for a long time. Apart from the threat of the lives of his relatives, there is no other way for Cheng Yi to divorce his wife and marry another one. Besides, marrying the Princess is a risk of being beheaded after being discovered. It's dangerous, she doesn't believe that Cheng Yi doesn't know the pros and cons of it, could it be that Cheng Yi is desperate to seek life?
"Hongfei, you are both in the capital, did she tell you what she went through?"
Tang Hongfei poured a cup of tea: "Don't mention it. After he got married to the princess, I kept looking for opportunities to meet him. Finally, I met him once. I asked him, but he didn't say a word, and asked me to never interfere with his affairs." Things, even stay away from him, do you think he is decent, I am his sworn brother anyway."
"Perhaps, you and I are not capable enough to help her. Is there a possibility that she keeps you away from her in order to protect you?" Shen Wenchang felt that marrying the princess is very dangerous. If there is a way, Cheng Yi will not help himself. If there is still a way to turn back, he will not keep silent to her.
"Hongfei, let's find a chance to go to her again, ask her clearly, and let's think of a solution together."
Tang Hongfei shook his head when he heard the words, and said, "What else can I think of? The royal recruiting a son-in-law will allow Cheng Yi to have an equal wife? Besides, even if the princess is willing, Liniang's temper will not be willing, and that Lord, you haven't seen it before, but I have learned it. He said, if I tell about Cheng Yi's ex-wife, not only my family, but also my Yue's family will suffer. It is impossible for the Lord to let Cheng Yi go and let the princess be criticized by the world."
"Then, what if Cheng Yi is allowed to fake his death?" Shen Wenchang looked into Tang Hongfei's eyes.
"Fake death?" Tang Hongfei was stunned, and asked for a while, "Then the Princess has become a widow?"
Shen Wenchang was startled and remained silent for a long time.
"Mancang, when your father-in-law had an accident, it was Cheng Yi and Jinwen who were begging the princess in Beijing to intercede. You wouldn't ignore the Lu family's benefactor for the sake of Liniang and Cheng Yi, would you?" Tang Hongfei stood up, "Mancang , this matter is in a dilemma, besides, we are all officials of the eighth rank, can we take care of the affairs of the Tian family?"
"No matter what, we still have to find her, we can't see her in jail and not rescue her." Shen Wenchang said.
Tang Hongfei thought for a while and said: "Come on, who told us to become sworn brothers? It's another matter if he doesn't say it at that time, and doesn't accept your kindness. It's because he refuses to talk to each other, not because you and I are unrighteous brothers. "
Shen Wenchang looked at Tang Hongfei in surprise, sighed and stopped talking, why did such a terrible thing happen in this life.
