098: The ins and outs

On May 20, it was the full moon day of Lou Yu in Beijing, and Lou Yichen named his son Yu, which means bright.

However, because the Lou family is on the cusp of the storm, it is not suitable for a big feast, and the war is tight, the little daughter full moon banquet of the Shen Wangfu was not held before, and now the Lou family will naturally not celebrate at this time, however, Lou Yueqing still sent a letter back to Beijing to let Li Kui send a small gift to this little prince.

Of course, there is more than one gift she wants to give.

After this period of Rong Zhi's secret investigation results, coupled with the hints given by Xiao Yike, it was only two days, and the results were already available, and when Lou Yueqing followed Rong Zhi to Longyin Pass, she knew the truth directly.

Rong Zhi ordered on the spot to detain the late General Long Yinguan, that is, Liang Shi, the wife of General Kang Yi, who was in charge of the 100,000 Lou family army, pending interrogation.

Kang Yi is a second-class military general of the imperial court, but he is also a general under the Lou family's army, and he has a deep friendship with Lou Yichen, and he has won Lou Yichen's trust, however, in the battle of Longyin Pass, he unfortunately died.

And his wife Liang, born in the Liang family, a well-known wealthy family in the north, married Kang Yi five years ago, it is said that Kang Yi is very fond of this lady, I thought it was a couple with deep affection, however, this time Longyin Pass failed, almost captured by the Li army, and the general's wife is inseparable.

After investigation, it was the Liang family who stole Kang Yi's military defense map, so that the Li army was able to see the seams and send people to sneak into the Longyin Pass silently, and the Li army outside the pass should be combined with the outside, and the only harm of the Longyin Pass almost fell, and General Kang Yi also knew about it in advance, so he swore to defend the Longyin Pass, and unfortunately died in battle.

Lou Yueqing personally interrogated Liang.

It was a good-looking woman, in her twenties, in her prime, sitting in a cell in plain clothes, as if she had known that struggling and crying were useless, so she was very calm.

Lou Yueqing asked, she said, as if she was not afraid of what kind of disaster her words would bring to her and her family.

After Liang's answer, this matter can be clarified.

Liang was originally the daughter of the famous Liang family in the north of Chu State, five years ago, married Kang Yi, but not voluntarily, but forced, because Kang Yi met her by chance, fell in love at first sight, and sent someone to propose, but she already had a sweetheart at that time, and the two had made a private lifelong agreement, but the other party was just a son of a down-and-out wealthy family, her parents did not agree to her marriage with that person, and promised her to Kang Yi without her consent.

When she knew, she was powerless to turn back, although the Liang family had a big business, but after all, she didn't dare to go against Kang Yi, a general of the DPRK who was stationed on one side with heavy troops, Liang's lover knew about it, and planned to elope with her, but on the eve of elopement, he was unfortunately killed, and the whole family was assassinated, Liang was devastated, and immediately thought that Kang Yi sent someone to do it, she promised to marry Kang Yi, and no longer had the slightest reluctance, as if she liked Kang Yi very much.

However, in the past few years since marrying Kang Yi, not only has he been childless, but also caused several of Kang Yi's concubines to be unable to have children, so Kang Yi has been childless under his knees for nearly thirty years old, of course, Kang Yi has never blamed her, as always, connived, but she intensified, and Kang Yi's henchmen fornicated, and stole Kang Yi's hidden Longyin Pass marching map, which is why someone sneaked into Longyin Pass Kang Yi but didn't know why.

Kang Yi knew about this on the day of the battle of Longyin Pass, and immediately ordered the Liang family to be locked up, but he swore to defend the pass and did not come back......

Xu had no idea of living, so he was fearless of life and death, Liang looked calm, and said in a low voice: "A few months ago, a man in black found me and said that as long as I helped him steal Kang Yi's Longyin Pass defense map, and cooperated with them, he would help me kill Kang Yi, since I couldn't kill him, it would be the same if someone did it for me, as long as Kang Yi died, Brother Shaoling's revenge was avenged, and I would die without regrets, Princess Niangniang, I said everything I had to say, I did it, you kill me!"

After listening to Liang's words, Lou Yueqing frowned, and asked lightly: "Kill you?" Do you think this matter can be ended with your life?"

Liang was stunned and looked at her sneeringly.

Lou Yueqing said coldly: "Collaborating with the enemy and treason is a big crime, it is enough to punish the nine clans, not to mention, there is also the crime of framing important ministers of the court, everyone in the Liang family behind you must bear the consequences for the heinous crime you committed!"

For their own selfish desires, the Liang family killed tens of thousands of soldiers and hundreds of people in Longyinguan, and caused General Kang Yi to die in battle, and that's it, all the crimes she committed were pushed to the Lou family, the Lou family is the pillar of the Chu State to protect the country, holding heavy soldiers, the Lou family has been loyal to the court since the founding of the country, but now it is burdened with such infamy, Liang's death is not a pity.

Of course, it will not only be her who will die, but also her mother's family.

Liang's face changed greatly: "You mean...... No, my father and mother don't know anything, and my people, they don't know anything, it's all done by me alone, I just want Kang Yi to pay for Brother Shaoling's life, shouldn't it?"

Lou Yueqing's face was gloomy, and she said sharply: "Do you know what kind of consequences have been caused because of your so-called revenge?" The soldiers stationed at Longyin Pass have died nearly 70,000 people, and those innocent people have also been killed and injured tens of thousands, you not only let Kang Yi pay for your lover's life, but also let no less than 80,000 innocent lives be involved, let me ask you, what qualifications do you have?"

Liang's face turned pale, and he lost the calm and death he had just now.

Lou Yueqing said coldly again: "Moreover, you pushed everything you did to the Lou family, so that the Lou family, who is loyal to the court, will bear the infamy through the ages, frame Zhongliang, and frame the important ministers of the court, just with this crime, it is a big crime to be beheaded all over the house, not to mention that there is treason with the enemy, do you know, I can punish you Liang family!"

"I ......" Liang panicked, hurriedly stood up and knelt down, and said in a pleading tone: "Princess, my parents and clansmen don't know about this, they are all innocent, please be magnanimous, please forgive them, I beg you......"

She is not afraid of death, but if she kills her parents and clansmen, then ......

Lou Yueqing's face was condensed, she lowered her eyes and looked at the Liang family in front of her, and then shook it heavily, throwing off the Liang family who was pulling her sleeve, and her tone was cold, without a trace of temperature: "You think too much!"

Liang's face is like ashes.

Lou Yueqing stepped forward to leave the cell.

Just as Lou Yueqing was about to step out of the door of the cell, Liang said urgently: "I can tell you who instructed me to do it, please spare my family......"

Lou Yueqing turned her head to look at her: "You are not qualified to talk to me about the conditions, let alone ......" After a pause, she sneered: "I know more about this than you, so I don't need you to tell me!"

Liang was stunned, Lou Yueqing had already turned her head and left the cell directly.

Liang watched Lou Yueqing's figure slowly disappear from sight, and shouted bitterly: "Don't ......"

She knew that this time, she had killed the entire clan and had no power to return to heaven......

After leaving the cell, Lou Yueqing roughly told Rong Zhi about the ins and outs, and Rong Zhi ordered that Kang Yi's lieutenant and all the people of the Liang clan be arrested, and announced to the world that all the people of the Liang clan would be executed for the two major crimes of collaborating with the enemy and treason and framing loyal ministers, and the Liang family and the deputy general who committed adultery with her would be sentenced to Ling Chi to a heavy sentence to comfort General Kang Yi's spirit in the sky.

It is said that knowing Liang's crimes, Liang's parents told all about the events of the year, and it was they who sent someone to hire a killer to kill Liang's sweetheart and the whole family in order for Liang to marry Kang Yi, but they didn't expect Liang to think that Kang Yi did it and do such a stupid thing......

As soon as this matter spread, although the stigma of the Lou family was not immediately eliminated, it also reduced the various infamy of the people of Chu to the Lou family, of course, it is impossible to completely eliminate it, after all, there are still many people who think that Lou Yueqing used the Liang family as a scapegoat in order to clear the Lou family's crimes, but Lou Yueqing and Rong Zhi can't care about these, after all, everyone has different ideas.

After this matter is settled, the matter in the north is over, and in the next few days, Rong Zhi is busy dealing with the military affairs here, arranging various things in Longyin Pass, Lou Yueqing went to Gusu City, originally Longyin Pass and Gusu City are not far apart, they all came here, she naturally wants to pay homage to Duanmu Xi, and go to see the old people by the way.

When the matter here was over, they left the north and headed southwest.

In today's Wei State, almost half of the country has been taken by King Shen and others.

In less than a month, King Shen and Xue Zhen and the king of Xining County, father and son, who replaced King Xiang from Chu Jing, led the three-way army, because the number of people who increased from all over the Chu State was later increased, with a total of up to 600,000 troops, the three-way army marched all the way west, and the counterattack of the Chu State caught the Wei State off guard, and now the new emperor ascended the throne, Zhao Qi was imprisoned on suspicion of the murder of the first emperor, the court was in chaos, the army was extremely weak, and there was no combat effectiveness, the Chu army was like a bamboo, and the 30,000 remnants of the Qiang army led by Situ Zhong in the north and the 50,000 elite soldiers led by Mo Yu in the west joined forces to besiege it, half of the Wei country fell, and for a time, the Wei country was full of mourning。

The new emperor of Wei sent no less than ten times to sue for peace, and the letter of peace was sent to Rong Zhi, Rong Zhi ignored it and let the army continue to attack, Emperor Wei had no choice but to release the imprisoned Zhao Qi, risking the risk of being rebelled and seizing the throne, handed over all the military power to Zhao Qi, and sent him to lead troops to resist, which barely blocked the army of Chu.

After Rong Zhi arrived at Yunan Pass, he did not go west, but stopped at Yunan Pass, and after learning that Zhao Qi had re-led his troops to block the army of Chu, Rong Zhi left Yunan Pass and entered the territory of Wei.

Of course, most of the territory close to the Chu State, that is, the three counties and eighteen prefectures of the Wei State of Dongling, have been occupied by the Chu State.

The cities that passed along the way were all garrisoned by the Chu army, but fortunately, because by military orders, no one dared to disturb the people, and those scenes of burning, killing and plundering would not exist, just because of the war, the people were closed to the cities they passed along the way, and they were all frightened by the war.
