Chapter 185: A Rare Confidant in Life (3)

The dragon star chart lowers its eyelids and cannot suppress inner fluctuations.

"Now you know why the emperor was furious and killed Xia Zhihuai's family? This case was too big. Xia Zhihuai called for justice, but could not provide evidence to show his innocence. The people across the country were rioting, and civil and military officials forced each other. The emperor had no choice but to kill Xia Zhihuai to calm the people's hearts."

"Mr. Du."

Long Xingtu endured the soreness of the tip of his nose and said hoarsely: "Can I dare to ask you something? If you are willing to answer me, please tell me the truth and don't deceive me in one word!"

Du Mingcheng was stunned and said, "Yes."

The Longxingtu looked at him regularly, and his pronunciation was particularly clear, "When Xia Zhihuai was killed, did Anguo Hou take the blame?"

Upon hearing this, Du Mingcheng was shocked, "Star Map, why did you ask such a question?"

"You only answer that I have or don't have it." The serious expression of Long Xingtu didn't seem like a joke at all.

Du Mingcheng rolled his Adam's apple, but he was silent for a while before he said, "Star Map, I am not particularly clear about what happened back then. What I told you just now was told by my father during his lifetime. Although my father and Lord Xia are not teachers and students, they are close friends with each other. Marquis Anguo and Lord Xia are relatives of children. After Lord Xia's accident, the emperor naturally suspicious of Marquis Anguo. If it were not for the Empress Dowager's support, the Marquis Anguo's Mansion would not be spared. Therefore, at this moment, Marquis Anguo could not say anything to Lord Xia."

"Then watch the Xia family beheaded?" Long Xingtu clenched his fingers tightly, and his nails were pinched into his palms.

Du Mingcheng stretched out his big palm and wanted to pat the shoulders of the Dragon Star Map as before, but when he thought of something in the middle, he froze there again. He whispered: "Star Map, I know you are actually a girl, but I don't know what you are. Today, when you ask me such a secret thing, I can't answer you, but I believe in you. So, please believe in the helplessness of Marquis Anguo who was out of the matter back then. Instead of losing the lives of the two families, it is better to leave a family in order to reverse the case."

"Okay, I believe it." Long Xingtu took a deep breath and said in confusion: "I don't ask how the adults know that I am a woman. I just want to ask, aren't adults curious about who I am?"

Du Mingcheng suddenly smiled, "Not only am I curious, but also second master is curious, but we all know your personality and temper. If you don't want to talk about it, how can we force it?"

"Second Master..." He hasn't seen him for a long time and hasn't heard about that person. Long Xingtu's mind has many speculations, and finally he couldn't help asking, "Have he returned to the capital?"

Du Mingcheng's eyes were full of deep meaning, "Why, are you thinking about Second Master?"

The Dragon Star Map's face was hot, so she simply turned her head and left.

"Hey, you... forget it, let me tell you, the second master has not returned to Beijing."

"Um?"

When the Dragon Star Map turned around, Du Mingcheng said: "Second Master will do something very important. Since you are injured, you will prepare. At midnight, you will go to Lijia Temple outside Dongcheng to pick me up! Remember, his surname is Zhou, you must keep him safe and bring him back to the yamen quietly!"

"Men? How old is it?"

"It's a man, in his early twenties, this person has an extraordinary status. You must control your temper and be courteous. Don't offend the other party."
