Episode 45

Lou Ben heard something in Ling Buyi's words, and his calm demeanor had disappeared. After a while, he suddenly burst into laughter and admitted that their acquaintance originated from the same experience.However, in Lou Ben's view, the friendship between the two gentlemen was as light as water and not very deep. In the final analysis, Yan Zhong believed in Ma Rong and wanted to use two thousand fine coppers to protect the life of his young son and his mother. He never thought that Ma Rong would be ruthless and kill them all.The Yan family is full of people.

Obviously no one had disclosed the discovery of the body in the post, but Lou Ben had already known about it. Cheng Shaoshang was about to stand up and ask more questions, but when he saw Ling Buyi's eyes signaling, he had to hold back for now.Now that Lou Ben has returned to Beijing to take up his post, Ling Buyi reassures Cheng Shaoshang not to be impatient. Ma Rong is not a stupid person and must have a backhand, so there is still time to investigate.

Cheng Shaogong deduced based on the hexagrams that they would survive the desperate situation, but Cheng Song didn't believe it at all, saying that he had previously asserted that he would get married before his younger sister, but ended up dying without marrying his bride.Just when Cheng Song was missing Wan Qiqi, Wan Qiqi unexpectedly came in a hurry, took off his shirt, and stood in front of him wearing a bright red wedding dress.

Everyone was shocked when they saw this, and before they could react, they heard Wan Qiqi swear that she would never marry someone other than Cheng Song in this life. If the Cheng family could not redress the injustice and unfortunately died, she would be a widow for him.Naturally, Cheng Song did not want to implicate Wan Qiqi and decisively refused the marriage, but Wan Qiqi took out the scissors to cut off her will.

Mrs. Cheng, who originally disagreed with Cheng Song's marriage, was moved by Wan Qiqi's statement and recognized her as her granddaughter-in-law on the spot.Xiao Yuanyi had no objection for the first time, which made Mrs. Cheng find it incredible. In fact, through this period of time, Xiao Yuanyi had realized that no matter how many conflicts and grievances there were before, now in the face of life and death, they are all family members who care about each other. How could there be such a so-called overnight feud?, the old grudges between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were settled.

Now Lou Yao has entered the court as an official, won the favor of Emperor Wen, and has become a popular figure in the capital.The Lou family organized a banquet for him to entertain the guests, and there was an endless stream of people coming to pay homage. Even Lou Li, who used to be sarcastic and mean in the past, showed the ladies the token of love given to Wang Yanji by his eldest brother.

This object is the familiar bronze mirror, but the inscriptions on it were written by Lou Ben. There are as many as ten different characters, which are combined into a jianjia.After Cheng Shaoshang heard about it, he asked to come to the bronze mirror to check, and his suspicions were confirmed.Then Ling Buyi led the black armored guards and publicly accused Lou Ben of colluding with General Peng Kun Ma Rong, tricking Tongniu County magistrate Yan Zhong into entrusting the fine copper with his family, and then massacred them all.

Lou Ben argued hard and asked Ling Buyi to give evidence. Unexpectedly, Yuan Shen suddenly spoke and directly exposed his conspiracy to kill someone with a borrowed knife.Ling Buyi and Cheng Shaoshang discovered Lou Ben's letter to Yan Zhong in the county government office. From the two's acquaintance, appointment to meeting, they finally instigated Yan Zhong to take his mother and children to accompany Cheng Shi's team to transport supplies out of the city, even in detail.Appoint a time and place.

Originally Lou Yao refused to admit it until Ling Buyi pointed out the calligraphy on the bronze mirror. His carefully planned overall situation was finally exposed to the public.But Lou Yao has no regrets at all. He only regrets that he was not born decades earlier. Even Ling Buyi admires Lou Yao's talent. If he was born at the right time, he would definitely be able to guide the country and make a career. However, Lou Ben has already entered the stage of his career.Misguided.

Ling Buyi was well aware of Lou Ben's ambitions, but only by gradually accumulating official rank could he become a pillar of the country.Lou Ben said that he was born with this kind of temperament and had no choice but to succumb to others. If he were allowed to start as a barnyard official and a petty official, instead of wasting his ambitions in insincere compliments and wasting away in indifferent dealings,I would rather never step foot into the court in this life.

Lou Ben reprimanded Taifu Lou for his selfish desires and humbly declined the recommendation of His Highness the Crown Prince, which resulted in him being deliberately buried and not being used by the Crown Prince.Not only that, as the head of the family, Taifu Lou actually blamed all the dirty and dirty things on women, which really made him look down on him.

Cheng Shaoshang asked Lou Ben to tell him the whereabouts of Cheng Shi, but Lou Ben actually wanted to talk alone. After being led to the side hall, he gave Cheng Shaoshang a map of mountains and rivers drawn by himself as an apology, hoping that she would be imprisoned in the future.In times of difficulty, heaven and earth can be seen, and unfathomable theories of cause and effect are revealed.

Everyone was waiting outside the door and had no idea what was going on in the hall, until they saw Lou Ben holding Cheng Shaoshang hostage. Ling Buji ordered people to control Wang Yanji and warned him that since he was a smart person, there was no need to cause trouble.In fact, Lou Ben had no intention of harming Cheng Shaoshang, but he was unwilling to face the current situation, so after giving instructions to Lou Yao and others, he committed suicide on the spot.

What Lou Yao did was unexpected by everyone. Even Wang Yanji rushed up after a while, hugged Lou Ben's body and cried softly, muttering about the fact that she was pregnant before, but Lou Ben acted so heartlessly..Lou Yao and He Zhaojun felt very sad after seeing it. Ling Buyi also showed a hint of shock, and then lamented that there are not many good people in the world today.Only Cheng Shaoshang was still thinking about what Lou Ben said to him just now. Sure enough, Lou Ben was reminding himself that Cheng Shi's current whereabouts was hidden in it.
