94.

The atmosphere cooled down as suddenly as the moonlight on the deck.

"What does Mingyuan want to know?" Xiao Zheng slowly spoke after a long time, his voice was smooth, but it was as deliberate as if he couldn't bear it.

"Since you and I can be so brothers, why can't we be honest with each other? Brother Xiao is in charge of the emperor's arrangement, Brother Xiao's secret investigation, I will naturally be interested and will not ask too much. Qin Yuan was tall and jade, dressed in a green shirt, even more handsome and elegant, he stood with his hands in his hands, turned around and stared at Xiao Zheng's eyes, although his voice was soft, but it was clear and clear, "But in this case, since the emperor said that it was a grievance, it must be true, since you and I joined forces to verify, how difficult and dangerous the road was, it is not yet known, Brother Xiao should also let me know something, what I should know, don't you say?"

"The emperor has said several times that the prince of Cheng'an is very intelligent, and he has praised you a lot, I thought that it must be that Ling Zun is respected and trusted by the emperor, so he loves the house and Wu. It was only along the way that I realized that I was as visionless as the world, and I was so short-sighted. You are right, this case is full of suspicions, and I have privately sent people to verify it several times, but there are many unknown forces blocking it. ”

Xiao Zheng thought for a moment, his face softened a lot, and he thought about it carefully, as if he was thinking about how to speak, which was more appropriate.

Qin Yuan looked at the sky and said: "It's too late at night, the river is too wet and cold, I'm afraid the wind will be strong at night, although you and I are both martial arts practitioners, we should also go into the cabin to avoid the cold." The boatman had salvaged some fresh fish earlier, and had just made fish soup, which tasted pretty good, so it would be not too late for Brother Xiao to go to the cabin with me for a drink or two. ”

That's what it means to hold a candle for a long time.

Xiao Zheng thought about it, there are many and complicated things, and there is no place on the deck where he can talk well after all, so he said that it is okay to do this, and nod his head should be.

An attendant named Dongfang, who looked very gentle, but had a gloomy face all day long, stood guard outside the door, the hatch was closed, and the boatman withdrew after serving fish soup and pasta. The wooden table nailed to the hull of the ship, the candle light in the room.

The fish soup was boiled into a milky white, fragrant and delicious, Qin Yuan took out a small bottle of clay pot red sealed aged wine, chuckled and poured the red seal while pouring the wine, and said carefully: "Although it is not a famous wine, it is my father who met some friends in the rivers and lakes when he occasionally traveled around, and gave these home-brewed wines, which are very soft in the mouth and not strong, but they have a good name - called Shanjian Wei." ”

Xiao Zheng took a sip of the white porcelain cup and praised the good wine: "Cheng'an Hou's vision is high, everyone has heard of it, and in his eyes, I am afraid it is not a simple person in the rivers and lakes." Judging from the quality of this wine, it looks like a hermit master who lives in the world. ”

Pushing the cup and setting it up, Xiao Zheng put a bowl of fish soup in front of him and drank it slowly, thought about the words, and said solemnly: "Lord Liang Gongyi has a son and a daughter, you should know this." ”

Qin Yuan nodded, and continued: "Yes, Miss Liang is now in the palace, working on an errand under the emperor's nose, I'm afraid few people know her true identity - I heard that 'Liang Qin', who didn't enter the harem as a handyman, has long been humiliated and has been ..."

"Is it difficult to find a palace maid in the harem who has a capital crime? The master of the palace is used to doing this, the palace maid who changed Miss Liang was originally guilty of fornication, and the concubine allowed her to let the guard leave the palace, and when she knew that everything was in order, she went to die for Miss Liang. Sure enough, the second-class manager of the East Palace went to the miscellaneous office, and that night, the palace maid committed suicide by hanging herself. Xiao Zheng said these harem secrets, and he couldn't help but feel a little stunned.

The replacement that day was naturally under his coordination, and the palace maid who replaced Miss Liang was less than ten years old, but she looked decadent

"But is it really hanging the beam to commit suicide?" Qin Yuan's voice suddenly rose up, "After the raid of the Liang Mansion, the 'Liang girl' miscellaneous servant committed suicide by hanging the beam in just a few days. I also remember that after Lord Liang heard the recital, only a few days later, it was reported that Lord Liang had acted unfavorably, dereliction of duty and abuse of power, and had no choice but to commit suicide by hanging Liang to atone for his sins.

"Mingyuan hasn't mentioned it yet, what about Lord Liang's son?" Xiao Zheng took a sip of fish soup in his heart, and said in his heart that the taste was indeed unusual.

Qin Yuan's eyes really lit up at this time, "The emperor ordered me to investigate this case early, and I naturally found a lot of news, but the son of Lord Liang of the capital is traveling to study, except for sending some letters to his home during the New Year's holidays, he can't be contacted by Pingsuli." Could it be that it was fake? Liang Gongzi released this kind of news to let people know that he had no connection with his father, and naturally he didn't know the truth of the case, but in fact this was not the case?"

Xiao Zheng nodded and said, "Yes, it's not right." Lord Liang's son Liang Zhi did study classics with Lao Confucian in the early years, and later returned from his studies, and he did often travel around to study, but when Lord Liang went to Jiangnan last year to supervise and inspect the case, Lord Liang kept his son by his side. Liang Gongzi accompanied him, but under the pseudonym Taimu, disguised as a small servant, and followed his father. Liang Gongzi is not very old, but he has good qualifications, and he often travels around to study, but he knows a lot more about these things. ”

"From this point of view, Lord Liang knew that since the emperor was going to send him to Jiangnan to supervise the officials, he already knew that this time there was more than one bad luck, so he let his son pretend to be a little servant and follow him?" Qin Yuan's eyes became brighter and brighter, but his brows became more and more wrinkled.

"Later, when the Jiangnan incident happened, Lord Liang knew that he couldn't protect himself, and the 'little guy' named Taimu took leave to go back to his hometown to serve his mother and get married as soon as possible, so Lord Liang agreed. Fortunately, Taimu is not a conspicuous and clever entourage, and he rarely goes out with Lord Liang, and after Lord Liang was killed, not many people paid too much attention to this little attendant. ”

Qin Yuan nodded slowly: "This Lord Liang, although he has never known him in his life, but now that he has seen a lot of his past recitals and heard so many of his stories, he knows that he is a true gentleman with a strong and proud backbone." ”

Xiao Zheng responded: "Yes." Not only Lord Liang, but also Lord Liang's sons and daughters are also outstanding. Miss Liang coincided with a family change, and after entrusting the servant woman to go out to spread the news to find her younger brother, she knew that her family was ruined and she could not protect herself, and she was also going to commit suicide, so she was rescued by me. After entering the palace that day, she just drank a dose of decoction and met the saint directly, neither humble nor arrogant, neither sad nor angry, and explained everything she knew to the emperor together. ”

"Miss Liang, how do you know about the officialdom in Jiangnan?" Qin Yuan asked rather puzzled.

A girl's family, although the world is becoming more and more open to women, and there are many celebrities and noblewomen who write books, but the affairs of court officialdom are still rarely involved after all.
