When they explained it clearly to me, it was already noon. I was holding on to the principle of not eating for nothing, so I stayed without hesitation. Perhaps the people living here were all heavyweights, so the chefs here worked very hard, and the food they made was of course much better than the inn.

In the afternoon, I took Han Qing and Yun Yao to the prison of the prefectural office, intending to see if Yun Yao’s parents and her lover were still there. I only took Yun Yao there, but Han Qing said she would follow her. I couldn’t resist her, so I had to let her follow her.

I was a little worried, afraid that Lin Qing would execute Yun Yao's lover and her parents when she was upset. Fortunately, things were not as I thought. When we arrived, her lover and parents were alive. The only inappropriate thing was probably that Lin Qing did not let them suffer less in order to investigate Yun Yao's whereabouts. So when we arrived, they looked like refugees, but nothing else was left.

When the lover and family met, they couldn't help but burst into tears. The few people hugged each other and cried in the dark, which made Han Qing, who was ordinary, burst into tears and almost didn't cry. I had a strong immune ability in this situation and didn't feel anything about it. The only thing that made me feel strange is why when I came, they looked less energetic and still had so many tears now. There is a saying that goes: People's potential is infinite.

After all, I persuaded them to get them out of the cell. At the same time, I also investigated the other people in the cell. Many of them were wronged. After the investigation was made, they were also released and barely became the master of Qingtian. As for some other biggest evil people, I have no time to pay attention to them now, and I will talk about it when I am busy that day.

When I finished all this, it was already dark. Just as I was about to leave, someone came to report that the emperor summoned him. The location was really the quietest restaurant in Jiangzhou City.

After receiving the notice, I couldn't help but smiled apologetically at Han Qing. She was by my side for an afternoon, and the unhappiness that had caused her lie to me disappeared. And I also knew this afternoon that Han Qing was very good at government affairs, and she could see many things I ignored, which saved me a lot of trouble, who was not good at filing cases. I originally planned to treat her to dinner tonight as a reward, but now the emperor summoned me, there must be something important. Although Han Qing was the granddaughter of the Grand Tutor, it was still inconvenient to go.

Han Qing knew very well about my apology. Fortunately, Lin's mansion was opposite the prefect's office. After sending her to the door, I hurried back and changed into casual clothes. Then, led by the person who reported the news, I rushed to Fengyuan, where King Jing is now. The place where he asked me to meet was on the balcony of the tallest building in Fengyuan, where you can overlook the entire Fengyuan.

After last night's turmoil, the entire Jiangzhou has returned to its former lively life. There are many people coming in and out of Fengyuan, and I don't care about me. After all, those who can enter and exit here are not rich but noble. Most of the people who have met me today are ordinary people. So although they know that there is a Lord Deng in Jiangzhou now, they don't know how Lord Deng looks.

After arriving, I found that King Jing was wearing casual clothes tonight. Even Yang Linguang was not following him tonight. When I arrived on the entire balcony, he and me were the only ones on the entire balcony. But I knew that the Fengyuan was also closely monitored by the masters in the inner city. It looked calm and the Fengyuan, which was nothing different from usual, was actually full of masters.

When I saw him, I quickly knelt down and said, "I am late, please forgive me!"

"Get up!" He said in a deep voice: "Now we are all casually dressed, and we don't need to perform the rituals of the monarch and the subjects. Don't call me the emperor, just call me Master Zhou!"

"yes!"

I quickly agreed, stood up straight, and said, "I wonder what happened to Mr. Zhou called Xiao?" Since he called himself Mr. Zhou, I could only call myself Xiao.

He said lightly, "Sit down and talk!" After that, he pointed to the chair next to the table on the balcony. On the table, the wine and food were already arranged.

As he wanted, I sat face to face with him on the chair. The table was close to the railing and could see below just by tilting my head.

After sitting down, I quickly filled him with wine. He probably had important things to say tonight, so we did not arrange maids and scouts next to us, so I only did it for me and pretended to be a servant.

After I poured the wine, he said, "I heard that Lin Xi not only drew his sword on the spot because of the insults and besiege of the people in Caishikou today, but also arrested a few people?"

"Not bad!" I answered very simply. He asked in an inquiring tone, saying that he was not here to ask for guilt, and I could not hide it even if so many people saw it.

King Jing picked up the wine glass, but did not drink it directly, but placed it in front of his nose and gently sniffed it. Then he sipped the wine in the glass, and asked, "Why? Now the prefect of Jiangzhou has just been arrested. It was when you established an image among the people. Wouldn't you give you a tribute to me if you did this?"

"No, why?" I picked up the wine glass and drank it all, and then said quietly: "It would be fine if those people don't understand Lin Xi, but I will never allow others to humiliate her, as for the sake of the excuse!"

I smiled slightly and said, "Mr. Zhou isn't it. When did I, Deng Long, care about what others say to me? I am me, I am happy to do things and I just let it go. Why care about other people's opinions?"

King Jing frowned slightly and said, "If it is introduced into the court, many adults will be dissatisfied with you! Or someone in the court will participate in you!"

I laughed and said, "I am not worried about the affairs in the court now. That is the future. If you worry about it now, you will waste your energy."

King Jing shook his head and smiled and said, "If I had known you would be like this, forget it, let's go! But Lin Xi is a good girl, don't let others down!"

"Yes!" I agreed to it habitually. After I agreed, I realized that something was wrong and hurriedly said, "Master, you misunderstood!"

"I didn't misunderstand!" King Jing said seriously, "Now, your heroic deeds are circulating on the streets and alleys. I still have ears and I have heard some of them!"

I shook my head helplessly, and I couldn't argue. So I quickly changed the subject and said, "Mr. Zhou is not just looking for a young man tonight to see my jokes, right?"

King Jing's face suddenly became dark, then sighed softly, then took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms and placed it on the table.

I picked up the small porcelain bottle and looked at it carefully. The porcelain bottle was not big, and I could hold it with one hand. There was nothing in the porcelain bottle on the surface, so I gently pulled out the plug on it and just planned to put it on my nose and smell it.

King Jing immediately said, "Be careful! That's poison!"

My face changed, and I quickly stuffed the plug back into the porcelain bottle, then placed it on the table, and asked, "Master, why is this?" I blurted out and forgot what he had told me just now.

King Jing looked at me and then said, "Today I spent a day thinking about how I should deal with this matter. After thinking about it for a day, I really couldn't take action against my own brother. This is not just the reason for the empress dowager! And if Lin Zhenghe was escorted to the Ministry of Justice for handling, the truth of the matter will definitely be revealed in the end! Then the ministers would force me to attack the King of Thailand, but he was my younger brother after all! He was also the best brother at the time, so how could I do that!"

King Jing now no longer has the noble and kingly demeanor he is in the court. Now he is just an older brother to protect his younger brother.

I also understood what he meant. In order to protect the King of Thailand, he had already had the intention to kill. This was also my mind at the beginning, but now it was somewhat surprising to me.

The emperor was actually helpless. For the sake of power, they would abandon family affection more. It is really rare for King Jing to still maintain this brotherly affection for the King of Thailand. As for Lin Zhenghe, the mistake was that he chose the wrong way. He should have known for a long time that if the matter was exposed, he would be the one who died. Even if the King of Thailand successfully ascended the throne in the end, he would still be the one who died! Those who can take over his brother's world with their own hands will never let a person who knows his secret live in the world.

"I'll go!" I grabbed the porcelain bottle without hesitation and said, "Lin Zhenghe fell on my hands, so it's most appropriate for me to do this!"

King Jing shook his head and said, "No! After listening to the rumors among the people today, I changed my mind! Although Lin Qian reported Lin Zhenghe, she would never accept someone who poisoned his father, even if Lin Zhenghe was not her biological father!"

I also shook my head and said, "It is precisely because of this that I want to go even more! In fact, in her heart, I already know that Lin Zhenghe will definitely die, and dying in my hands is more appropriate than dying in anyone's hands! The only thing that makes her feel at ease now is the emperor's attitude towards other Lin families."

King Jing picked up the wine pot, poured a glass of wine into my wine glass, and then filled his wine glass. He was very slow, as if he was taking this time to think about how to answer me.

After drinking, he picked up the cup, with a hint of solemnity on his face and said, "According to the law of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Lin Zhenghe will be killed by the nine clans! This time I can make a fuss. As long as Lin Zhenghe and Lin Qing die, the rest of the people will be demoted to common people, but the condition is that they will hide their names from now on. At the same time, this cannot be said to be what I mean, but I can only say that you let the imperial court criminals privately. After returning to the court, you have to face the ministers of the court for participating in the book. At that time, it may be difficult for me to protect you, and they may attack Lin Qian. Although I have returned to the throne of the emperor, I may not have the final say in many things!"
