In the alley, the dilapidated thatched cottage.

There is a gap between the bricks, and the autumn wind blows in.

"Mother, drink some medicine." Tao Rong helped the weak Mrs. Tao.

Tao Ning took a bite of the wotou, which was as dry as a stone.

"What a piece of shit! I won't eat it!" She threw her head away suddenly, laying on the table and crying aggrieved.

Since she was born, how could she have suffered like this?

Tao Rong hurriedly picked up Wotou.

"Sister, if you don't eat it, don't waste it, we don't have much money left!"

Tao Ning raised her eyes with tears in her eyes, and said angrily, "Isn't it because you didn't live up to your expectations and didn't get an official position in the court?"

"If you are Chinese, we won't be able to find someone to help, and mother doesn't have to sleep in a house that is comparable to a latrine!"

Tao Rong squeezed his head tightly in silence.

At this time, a low voice called from the door: "Dare to ask Mrs. Tao and Miss Young Master, are they inside?"

Tao Rong went to open the door, but saw a well-dressed fifth-rank official.

Some face.

Tao Rong was quite vigilant: "Who is your Excellency?"

The official bowed his hands: "I am a close friend of Master Tao, and also his subordinate, Yang Qi, the minister of the household."

Hearing this, Tao Ning immediately stood up and asked, "Did you come to save us from here? Was my father's crime vindicated?!"

In the face of her questioning, a look of helplessness flashed on Yang's face.

He asked, "Can I go in and talk?"

Tao Ning pulled Tao Rong away: "Don't block here, Uncle Yang, please come in."

After Yang Qi came in, Tao Ning wanted to pour him a cup of tea, but couldn't find a suitable tea set.

"Miss Tao, please don't bother." Yang Qi said hurriedly.

Mrs. Tao propped herself on the kang, coughed and asked, "Master Yang, has my husband's crime been vindicated?"

Yang Qi was in a dilemma, he sighed: "Master Tao, he... has been in the Fengtian Temple before. Because of the serious crime, he was suspected of framing the prince. The emperor decided to hang his body on the city wall to show the public."

"What?!" Mrs. Tao didn't catch it in one breath and almost fainted.

Tao Rong hurried over: "Mother!"

He patted Mrs. Tao's back, smoothing for her.

Tao Ning was even more astonished: "Where's His Royal Highness? Didn't he plead for my father?"

What a shame it must be to whip a corpse after death!

Yang Qi shook his head regretfully.

He stood up and bowed to the three people in the room.

"The next time I'm here, I'm thinking of the kindness that Master Tao gave me many times in the past."

Saying that, Yang Qi took out a bag of silver from his sleeve and put it on the table.

"To be honest with the madam and young lady, Master Tao's death, I believe you are also aware of it, that it is the responsibility of His Royal Highness."

Tao Rong frowned instantly, confused.

Tao Ning suddenly realized: "It really is!"

She remembered that her father had said that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had a secret that could not be discovered by the emperor.

Once detected, it will lead to death!

Mrs. Tao covered her face and cried, "My husband is the first-class confidant of His Highness the Crown Prince, how could His Highness be so ruthless and let my husband's body hang on the city wall without apologizing for him!"

Lord Yang sighed: "His Royal Highness, he... is indeed a little ruthless, but who made Princess Qianlizun bite hard?"

Tao Ning's eyes widened suddenly: "Qian Lizun... Gu Nuo'er again?!"

Lord Yang nodded lightly: "Princess, she feels that Liang Yushi's death is strange, so she has been clinging to this case. Yesterday, she went directly to the prison of Dali Temple."
