The heroic scholar and his neighbor, the pretty widow (bushi)

The evidence against Si Kouhong became more and more sufficient, and he was soon thrown into jail.

Among the people he brought back, the two beauties couldn't believe it after hearing what Si Kou Hong had done in private. The savior they thought was even more terrifying than the officials of the North.

The two of them suddenly felt hopeless and determined to die.

However, because they were important evidence, Lance did some tricks to save them.

After doing all this, he closed the door and held Song Ning, pretending to be sick and not going to court.

"Is it really okay if you don't go?"

Song Ning was worried.

"This incident happened just after the Marquis of Zhennan adopted me as his adopted son. Besides, it was me who recommended Si Kouhong anyway. It would be best if I didn't go and avoid suspicion now."

"Otherwise, if the emperor sees me and suddenly gets angry and kills me, wouldn't I be more wronged than Dou E?"

Lance put his hand into his clothes openly.

"Someone..."

"I gave Fuqin a day off today."

Lance looked innocent.

Song Ning looked at his handsome face and felt like getting angry but couldn't.

He thought about it and decided to just follow suit and lie back, leaning comfortably.

"Will Si Kou Hong die?"

"will not."

Lance thought about it for a moment and shook his head.

The Son of the World is not so easy to die, and his current identity cannot allow Si Kou Hong to die directly.

"alright."

Song Ning was not discouraged either.

He now had no thoughts about the Zhennan Marquis's family. The days he spent in the Zhennan Marquis's Mansion seemed like a lifetime ago to him, and now he felt that he was living a good life.

Thinking of this, he reached out and touched Lance's abdominal muscles very naturally. Mm, it felt good to touch.

Lance was right, Si Kouhong was indeed not dead.

Because the Marquis of Zhennan came to his house, he asked Lance to do everything he could to save Sikou Hong's life.

"You are in the emperor's favor now. If you ask for mercy for Hong'er..."

The Marquis of Zhennan had no hope.

He came to Lance only because he had no other choice. Si Kou Hong had committed such a heinous crime that no matter who was out there, they would not even want to see him, let alone save him.

Lance: “Okay.”

Zhennan Hou raised his head suddenly, "What did you say?"

"I said yes."

Lance pulled out an envelope and gently pushed it over, "Here are my terms."

Marquis Zhennan couldn't wait to grab the envelope and take it out to take a look. He went from joy to suspicion and then his face turned pale.

His beardless face was twisted and hideous, his eyes bulged with disbelief.

"You, it's you. Hong'er didn't lie. It's you who's behind this!"

"My Lord, you should speak with evidence."

Lance took a sip of tea, huh?

He looked down, then turned his head to look for it again.

Sure enough, the person in black clothes in the corner pretending not to exist, who else could it be but Song Ning?

When Song Ning saw him looking at him, he smiled and silently shrank back into the shadows.

Lance: “…”

Could this be the legendary case of stealing the bell while covering one's ears?

After covering for Song Ning a little, Lance put down the teacup.

"Have you made up your mind, Lord? I don't ask for much. It's a good deal in exchange for Si Kou Hong's life."

"A good deal? It's obvious that you have been plotting against our entire Zhennan Marquis Mansion from the beginning. You are plotting against my position! You are such an ambitious bastard, I shouldn't have let you into the mansion in the first place, you, you you!"

The Marquis of Zhennan was so angry that he almost vomited blood.

He thought he was taking care of Lance out of kindness, but he didn't expect that this little beast had been plotting against him, Hong'er and the Marquis' Mansion from the very beginning!

"My Lord, you have misunderstood, right? I should have a share in the Zhennan Marquisate. Si Kouhong is your son, but am I not? Moreover, Si Kouhong has committed a heinous crime, and the Zhennan Marquisate should have perished with him. It was you, my Lord, who wanted to save the Marquisate and his life, so it is understandable to exchange the Marquisate for his life, right?"

Lance chuckled, "My Lord, you can't be so naive as to think that I will offend His Majesty for Si Kou Hong just by saying a few nice words, right?"

"Then what about the fact that you asked me to announce that it was you and not Hong'er who made Mr. Hegui's engagement?"

Zhennan Hou was filled with righteous indignation. He asked why he couldn't find Song Ning. He must have been hidden by Lance! This bastard, this ungrateful wolf!

"Isn't it obvious? How can someone like Si Kou Hong be worthy of the grandson of a great scholar who has many students all over the world? On the contrary, my status as the top scholar is a perfect match, and it would be a good story if it were spread out, right?"

Lance raised an eyebrow and looked at someone.

Oh, how can this person have the nerve to say such things casually?

Song Ning silently hid his burning cheeks between his knees.

The Marquis of Zhennan felt like there was something stuck in his throat.

Matching? Good story?

It was his Hong Er who should have become a good story. The Zhennan Marquis Mansion would also become famous because of this incident. Their Zhennan Marquis Mansion would step on Mr. He Gui's shoulders and...

"Well, Lord, do you think this deal is worthwhile?"

Lance chuckled.

"you!"

The Zhennan Marquis's tense neck suddenly deflated, and he resigned himself to his fate.

"...Can you really save Hong'er's life?"

"That depends on your speed, sir."

Lance smiled slightly, "The sooner the conditions are met, the faster I can go to see His Majesty. As for whether the prince will still be alive when I go..."

"I'll go now!"

In order to save Sikou Hong's life and the Zhennan Marquis's Mansion, the Zhennan Marquis acted quickly.

Lance also leisurely went to see the emperor and found an excuse to ask the emperor to spare Sikouhong's life - the account book was still in Sikouhong's hands, especially since the mastermind in the north still did not have enough evidence to dig him out and catch him in one fell swoop.

The emperor naturally also knew about his deal with Marquis Zhennan.

"Have you really agreed to the conditions of the Marquis of Zhennan? Aren't you afraid that I will chop both you and the Marquis of Zhennan into pieces?"

Lance handed over a yellowed piece of paper in a neither humble nor arrogant manner.

"Of course I am afraid, but fortunately I have a kind-hearted person who is willing to exchange this recipe for the lives of me and my loved ones."

The emperor took it and took a look, his expression became more complicated.

"He and you have a deep relationship. Do you really not value Mr. Hegui's reputation?"

On it is Mr. Hegui’s seal, which can be said to represent a lot of things.

Lance smiled.

"He and I would rather be a pair of free mandarin ducks in the mountains and villages. Besides, wouldn't it be better to give these things to the emperor?"

Without the influence of the Son of the World, this emperor could barely be considered a good emperor.

He had no intention of changing the world, and the little prince was indifferent to court affairs.

Instead of keeping this trouble in hand, it would be better to exchange the benefits and go freely. It would be nice to model for his little prince when he has nothing to do.

This kid is serious.

After the emperor understood, he suddenly snorted coldly.

"Si Kouhong's life can be saved, but you two are only over 20 years old and you want to indulge in the countryside? Just stay in the capital and be obedient to me."

Even the emperor himself wasn't so comfortable and at ease, but a minister wanted to feel proud instead?

dream!
