After hearing Xiao Jingyun's words, Princess Zhaoning turned her head and looked at the small cloth bag in Jasmine's hand.
"Junior sister Jasmine, is what you got physical evidence?"
Jasmine nodded.
At this time, the leader of Lianhua also stood up. He clasped his fists at Xiao Jingyun and said, "Your Highness, take care, Tang Lianhua takes leave."
Xiao Jingyun made an invitation gesture and followed a few people to send the Lotus Cult Master out of the Prince's Mansion.
Xiao Jingyun was so low-key and respectful, which made Master Lotus feel a lot more comfortable, and the look on his face was much more relaxed than when he arrived.
After walking far away from the Prince's Mansion, he stopped and turned to look at Princess Zhaoning next to him.
"Your Highness, please go back first. If anything happens, I will come find you tomorrow."
Princess Zhaoning cupped her fists and said, "Master, where are you going?"
"I'm going to accompany your sister-in-law." After saying this, Master Lotus stepped forward again. Unexpectedly, Princess Zhaoning also had a stubborn temper and followed closely behind him.
"I will also go and kowtow three times to Senior Sister."
The leader of the Lotus Church did not object, and just let Princess Zhaoning follow his people back to the inn in a mighty manner.
In the inn, Chen Xiaobei sat in front of Huang Ying's memorial tablet, burning paper money one by one, with Cui Hongyu accompanying him.
Feng Xiaoyue also came, Lardo, Yang Chun and Yang Zhi were all there, crying with them.
When they saw the Lotus Master coming, they just nodded and said hello, but no one said anything.
The disciples of the Lotus Cult Master knelt down in unison to keep vigil for Huang Ying.
Even Princess Zhaoning did not shy away from her identity. She knelt in front of Huang Ying's memorial tablet and kowtowed three times respectfully.
After kowtowing, she had no intention of getting up. The Lotus Master spoke up, "Your Highness, how unbecoming are you kneeling there all the time? You'd better get up."
"Master, today I am not a princess, I am your disciple, and I am here to watch over your master's aunt."
However, the leader of the Lotus Cult waved his hand, "I told you before that I don't need you here. You'd better go back quickly and come back early tomorrow morning."
Princess Zhaoning opened her mouth, but in the end she obeyed the instructions of Master Lotus and had no choice but to get up and leave.
At this time, Xiao Jingyun in the Prince's Mansion did not have much relief on his face.
Seeing this, Zhou Quan asked carefully, "Your Highness, what are you still worried about? Giving Tang Lianhua a pair of shoes won't have any big impact, right?"
Xiao Jingyun sighed, "It won't have any impact, but I'm afraid that if the murderer can't be found out soon, Tang Lianhua will chase after her."
"This is a difficult role."
"Besides, this Tang Lianhua is okay. If he encourages my sister Jingfeng to come over and cause trouble again, I'm afraid we won't let it go until we find out the identity of the murderer."
After listening to Xiao Jingyun's words, Zhou Quan said tentatively, "But there is only one pair of cloth shoes, so he can't find Xiao Dezi's head no matter what."
Jamel Xiao sighed again, "Now I am riding a tiger, unable to get off. I cannot tell the truth, but I also have to not tell it. It's so uncomfortable."
After saying that, he looked at Zhou Quan and said, "Go to the palace tomorrow to see if Xiao Dezi has appeared. If you don't see anyone tomorrow, it must be him."
In a blink of an eye, it was midnight, and it was curfew time. Liu Kai came to the prison again.
After seeing Liu Xiangnan, Liu Kai secretly took out a roast chicken from his sleeve and stuffed it inside.
Liu Xiangnan didn't open the roasted chicken but looked at it. He just looked at the wooden fence next to it.
"Liu Kai, since you are here today, I want to ask you a few things. Please answer me truthfully."
Liu Kai bowed and said, "If you have anything to say, Mr. Marquis, just give me your instructions. I promise to tell you everything you want."
Liu Xiangnan nodded, "The emperor wants to grant Rumei a marriage, do you know about this?"
Liu Kai quickly replied respectfully, "The Hou Yi incident is a long story. Chen Xiaobei also wanted to save you and the lady, so..."
Before he finished speaking, he looked at Liu Xiangnan and felt that what he said was wrong. He quickly changed his words and said, "Master Hou, this matter is very complicated. Let's go out first and talk about the rest later..."
Liu Xiangnan looked at Liu Kai and he let out a long sigh again, "Last time you came to tell me that as long as I wrote a memorial to the emperor saying that I was willing to cut off my hair and become a monk, the emperor could let Rumei and Yuanwen go."
"But why did you have to let Rumei marry such a mountain villager in the end to get me out?"
After hearing this, Liu Kai was silent for a long time. After a long time, he slowly said, "Master Marquis, the situation has changed. Your Majesty, the people over there are biting you to death and refusing to let you out. Let me tell you this,
A few days ago, there were schools of fish gathering at the gates around the capital. Some people said it was to complain about you, while others said it was your fault."
"Later, the attempt to invite eminent monks one after another failed, so the emperor was not allowed to post the imperial list."
"It was Chen Xiaobei who came all the way from Hetou Village to unveil the imperial list and eliminate the abnormal phenomenon of fish gathering."
"The emperor asked Chen Xiaobei what reward he wanted. Chen Xiaobei said he hoped the emperor would let you and the lady go!"
"But the emperor said that it would be easy for him to let you and the young lady go. That is to make Chen Xiaobei accept the marriage."
After saying this, Liu Kai's expression turned gloomy.
"Master Hou, to be honest, I am also very confused. But, having said that, Chen Xiaobei's second wife was assassinated on the altar and died."
After hearing Liu Kai's words, Liu Xiangnan was stunned for a long time, then he looked up to the sky and laughed.
"Okay, great. My noble protector Liu Xiangnan's daughter is marrying a mountain villager, and she has to go there to be a child."
"I understand, I understand. Bai Han came to me and told me that I still didn't understand why I had to marry Chen Xiaobei. Now I understand. Killing will kill your heart. Killing will kill your heart."
After saying that, he waved his hand and said, "That's all. Fame and wealth are nothing but passing clouds. I'm going to become a monk. Please tell Rumei and Yuanwen for me that the future path will be up to them."
Liu Kai was very surprised and looked at Liu Xiangnan, "Master Marquis, it's too early to say this, we..."
"Okay, let's go. The emperor has already sent a message. When I go to Xiangguo Temple, I won't be able to receive pilgrims. Let's say goodbye and live in peace with each other!"
Liu Kai opened his eyes wide and looked at Liu Xiangnan in surprise. Finally, he took two steps back, lifted his clothes and knelt down, Guangguang kowtowed three times quietly, "Master Hou, take care, Liu Kai will come to see you again.
"
Early the next morning, the sun shone brightly in Wannian City, and people rushed to the streets and rushed out of the city gate.
The moat outside the four gates was calm. There was not a single fish on the water.
The stone weighing on the hearts of the people was finally lifted away.
In an instant, the people became excited and rushed to tell each other.
