Don't choose this way? Gong Shilin said, "If there is such a day, I hope you can make the right choice! And don't sacrifice your bright future for a person who has committed a crime. It's not worth it! And in the face of the law, everyone is fair. If a person makes a mistake, even if he is guilty,
Even if he lived in hiding, he would never be able to make up for his mistakes. In the end, he has to pay the corresponding price for his mistake! So, you don't have to take the risk to help someone you shouldn't help! "
These words were full of deep meaning.
Tuo felt that something was wrong. His heart tightened, "What's wrong with you?"
"Ah Tuo, ever since we were young, you've always treated me like a real brother. I'll always remember this friendship! I dare not forget it! And I am satisfied with what you said today. "
"Shilin …"
Gong Shilin propped himself up, "Remember what I said just now."
After saying that, he turned and left the room.
He stepped into the snowy courtyard.
That figure also gradually disappeared.
Tuo was left sitting in the same place. He hadn't completely recovered.
He also slowly realized something.
…
Gong Shilin didn't leave the Third Marquis Mansion immediately. Instead, he went to Jing Xuan's courtyard.
Because of the heavy snow outside, there were no maids guarding the courtyard.
He stood in the corridor next to the courtyard gate, his gaze fixed on an open window not far away.
From here, he could see Jing Xuan sitting in front of the window.
Compared to before, her complexion was much better!
Gong Shilin was also relieved!
The emotions that he had hidden away were now rolling in his heart like a raging sea.
In the end, his eyes were wet.
He wanted to tell her that he fell in love with her.
He wanted to hold her hand and hold her in his arms.
He wanted to …
Everything was for him.
But the reality told him again and again that it was impossible!
It would be impossible in this life!
Inside the room, Jing Xuan was sitting on the chaise longue, covered with a thin blanket.
As usual, she was embroidering.
This habit hadn't changed!
She seemed to feel a gaze on her, and her brows furrowed slightly.
She frowned slightly and looked out of the window.
But there was nothing outside except for the vast snow.
There was no one in the corridor!
She didn't know when Gong Shilin had left.
Jing Xuan stared at the spot where Gong Shilin had stood for a long time.
"Ugh! "
The pain on her fingertips pulled her back to reality.
The needle pierced his fingertip, and blood oozed out.
She pressed hard on the small wound and turned to look out of the window.
Heavy snow swirled in the air, gradually blurring one's vision …
After leaving the Third Marquis Residence, Gong Shilin returned to his residence.
Seeing him return, the manservant said, "Young Master, why are you back so early?"
Logically speaking, he should still be in the Hanlin Academy.
"Where's Master?"
"Master is in the study."
He grunted in acknowledgment and went to the study.
Left Prime Minister Gong, dressed in casual clothes, was reading in the study room.
"Dong dong dong."
The sound of fingers tapping on the door.
Gong Zuo Xiang didn't even look at him, "Come in."
Gong Shilin stepped in and stood in front of the square table.
Neither of them spoke.
After waiting for a long time, Gong Zuo Xiang did not look up and asked: "Why did you leave the palace so early today?"
"If there's nothing else, I'll come back first."
"It seems that Hanlin Academy is not busy these days!"
"En."
Then, Gong Zuo Xiang slowly moved his eyes from the book in his hand to him and asked, "What's the matter?"
This question made Gong Shilin's eyes immediately turn red.
"Your son is unfilial!"
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
He suddenly knelt down.
Minister Gong was dumbfounded when he knelt down.
He was very surprised.
"What are you doing?"
Gong Shilin's eyes were filled with tears, "Father, your son has made a big mistake! I'm afraid I can't serve you anymore in the future. Your son is unfilial. "
After that, he heavily kowtowed!
Lying on the ground, he did not get up for a long time.
Gong Zuo Xiang was full of doubts and hurriedly walked over from behind the square table.
His voice trembled slightly, "What … happened?"
He vaguely felt an ominous premonition.
Gong Shilin slowly straightened up and raised his head, "Father, can you promise me one thing?"
"…"
"After I leave, you must take good care of yourself, and don't … work hard for me."
"You …" Gong Zuo Xiang leaned over and excitedly held Gong Shilin's arm, "Tell me, what happened?"
At this time — —
The mansion's housekeeper hurriedly rushed over.
As soon as he arrived at the door, he saw the scene in front of him.
"Master, Lord Li of the city department is here with many guards, he said …" The housekeeper looked at Gong Shilin who was kneeling on the ground, "He said he wants to take young master to the city department for questioning."
What should come, had finally come!
Then, Gong Shilin also said everything.
After learning, Gong Zuo Xiang was both surprised and worried.
His whole body was trembling!
"No matter what, even if I have to sacrifice this life, I will protect you."
Gong Shilin immediately said, "No, father, your son committed a capital crime, you can't save me, you can't save me!"
"There is nothing … that can't be saved."
After an incense stick of time.
Gong Zuo Xiang went to the hall.
He did not see Gong Shilin.
Li Cheng stood inside waiting.
And the guards he brought were standing in the courtyard one by one.
Li Cheng cupped his hands at Gong Zuo Xiang.
Gong Zuo Xiang's sharp eyes swept the guards outside and said, "Ah Cheng, what do you mean by this? How dare you let your people bring knives to my mansion. "
"Uncle Gong, please don't mind, I really have no choice."
"What do you mean by no choice?"
"Uncle, you should know that our city department has accepted a case regarding the murder of Du Mubai."
"So?" Left Prime Minister Gong sat there and slowly drank his tea. He didn't look nervous at all.
As if he didn't know anything at all!
Li Cheng said, "And the latest evidence is related to Gong Shilin, so I want to take him to the city department for questioning."
"Absurd!"
A reprimand.
Gong Zuo Xiang put the teacup in his hand heavily on the tea table.
He showed an angry expression.
His eyes stared straight at Li Cheng. "Your father asked me to arrange for you to go to the city department, hoping that one day in the future you can take charge of things and succeed. This time you are responsible for investigating Du Mubai, the whole city knows. Your father and I also want you to find the murderer as soon as possible and make a great contribution, which will be a good thing for you to enter the court in the future.
But now you say that Shilin is related to this case, isn't this a joke? You have to think clearly, and you have to understand clearly, don't make any mistakes, lest father and I can't let go of face! "
It sounded like good words!
In fact, it was a hint to Li Cheng.
To tell him not to mess around for the time being, everything should be discussed before making a decision.
