Chapter 142: A Last Resort
Old Man Liang's eyes gradually became fierce, and a trace of fierce light in his eyes that was cold to the bottom of his heart began to beat slowly, and the old steward of Chengping next to him knew in his heart that someone was going to suffer when he saw this. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
And after the cause of Shen's mother's death was confirmed by the Ying Tianfu who was hurriedly dispatched, the Zhendong General's Mansion was much more stable. Because of what he said, Shen's mother was suffocated to death, and there was only one strangulation mark on her neck, that is, the white silk she died of hanging from the beam.
In this case, it is almost suicide, and it has nothing to do with murder, although everyone wonders how this powerful housekeeper mother in the Liang Mansion committed suicide, but after comparing it with the importance of their own safety, everyone tacitly shut up, not mentioning anything wrong.
This is the henchman mother of the big master on the bank of Nanlan Creek, such a character is dead, naturally this result is the best now, and no one wants to be involved in the liquidation related to Nanlan Creek.

"Are you crazy?" Han Shi looked at the young man in front of her who had just performed the crown salute with extreme anger, and when she looked at his handsome face like jade, Han's heart was extremely shocked, she never thought that her eldest son, who had loved and cultivated so hard, would actually do such a thing.
Is this person in front of him still the child he held softly in his arms many years ago?
Han looked at Liang Xian in shock and anger, but Liang Xian still had a smile on his face, and comforted his mother very casually: "Mother, you think too much, this will be fine." ”
"Will it be okay?" Han's voice raised a lot more, so frightened that Zhen Mei outside the door was a trembling, but she was afraid, but she had to quickly glance around, and after finding that there was no one, Zhen Mei retracted her mind to listen to the angry voice that continued to come from the door.
"How dare you be so bold? Not to mention that Mother Shen hasn't been discovered by the woman yet, even if she finds something, then you can't do it when the old man is in the mansion, what are you thinking about?"
Han was going crazy.
But she didn't think there was anything wrong with Liang Xian taking people's lives, she just felt that Liang Xian actually dared to move when Old Man Liang was still in the house, and she was very angry at this kind of behavior that didn't notify her in advance.
Even if Shen's mother is just a servant, let's not talk about how strict the Liang family's family law is, just say that the old man Liang uses the military to rule the family, and under Liang Xian's murderous situation, then he will definitely not survive.
And after this piece of involvement, it is almost all over for the Han family and her children.
Han was very angry at Liang Xian's reckless behavior.
But Liang Xian said lightly: "Mother, if there is really no way, I will not do this risky trick." ”
Han Shi still said angrily: "There is no way, you should tell me well, why there is no way, we have been preparing for so long and are so well prepared, what trick can that woman catch us, we need you to be so reckless and reckless." ”
"Mother, they have found the Sun family. ”
Han's eyes were on fire, but Liang Xian's words were like pouring a basin of cold water on her head, and Han immediately froze, "You, what did you say?"
Liang Xian smiled, "According to Mr. Shan Guo's eyeliner report from the Sun family, the people from the Shen family's firm have visited the Sun family several times in the name of business two days ago. ”
"That doesn't mean anything, the Shen family's salt business is all over the world. Although the Han family is a little unwilling, this is indeed the truth, the name of the Shen family's Chuxi Stream is like the fine salt sand, and there is no one in the world who does not know.
"Yes, the Shen family's salt business is indeed ubiquitous, but mother, they just came to the door at this place at this time?" Liang Xian smiled, "I'd rather believe it than not." ”
In the words, there was a faint taste of ruthlessness.
Han Shi was stunned, but she still frowned and said, "Even so, then you can wait until your grandfather leaves the mansion before you do it." ”
Liang Xian shook his head: "No, it's because my grandfather came back at this time, so we can't wait, what if my 'grandmother' is planning to tell my grandfather about Shen's mother when my grandfather comes back? Mother, we'll really be done then. ”
In recent years, Old Man Liang's reputation in Xiyin may not be as powerful as it was back then, but both Liang Xian and Han know that Old Man Liang is still so bad that people have no courage to disobey.
Decades of battlefield battles, Old Man Liang has long been a body of evil condensation, as long as he is an old man who intends to look at you, the terror of the oppression of thousands of troops and horses is not something that these delicate people in the rich dream and gentle township can resist in the slightest.
Han understands this very clearly.
At the beginning, after she just entered the door, the pressure and horror she felt when she saw Old Man Liang for the first time, she is still shocked.
"So, mother, the child is really a last resort. ”
Although Liang Xian still looked at Han with a light smile on his face, when Han looked at him at this time, there was no trace of the anger that was shocking just now. Obviously, this time she was persuaded by Liang Xian again.
Han Shi sighed and said, "Even so, you can discuss it with me first, why have you been so self-assertive recently?"
Han said this very lightly, but after Liang Xian heard it, the smile on his face stiffened for the first time, but he still smiled and said: "Yes, this time the child is a little reckless, next time I must discuss it with my mother before acting." ”
"Okay, I know you've grown up, and it's not strange to have your own mind. I'm tired, so you can step back first. ”
Han frowned and closed his breath, waved his hand at Liang Xian and let him leave.
This is a very rare picture, on weekdays, when did the Han family not ask Liang Xian to stay longer, but this time it was actually a little bit to drive Liang Xian away. Liang Xian also paused slightly, and then bowed to the Han family and retreated, and returned to Bishu Courtyard.
At this time, in the Bishu Courtyard, there was a middle-aged man dressed as a scholar standing in the courtyard, looking up slightly, and he didn't know what he was looking at.
"Mr. Shan Guo is really interested, at this time, he still has the leisure to watch the sky here?"
Behind Mr. Shan Guo, a man wearing a moon-white plain silk jacket and a scholar dressed as a scholar suddenly walked out, but he was a few years older than Mr. Shan Guo, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes were also a lot more.
"Brother Zhao, where are you talking about this, isn't it time for us to rejoice in the current situation. If you don't appreciate this rainbow at this time, then when will you appreciate it?"
Mr. Shan Guo did not look back, but he already knew who the person behind him was, and said in a flat voice.
And the person who was called Brother Zhao said with a smile in a place that Mr. Shan Guo couldn't see: "This so-called eldest son of the Liang family is nothing more than that, after we told him that the Shen family's salt had found out about the Sun family, the most basic thing of extinguishing the mouth was also reacted to yesterday." If His Highness hadn't told us not to go too far, I'd have helped him write a list early in the morning. ”
Mr. Shan Guo smiled: "Brother Zhao doesn't have to be like this, you should think about it from another angle, if it weren't for this Liang Envy, then how could we enter the Great General's Mansion in the east of this town so easily?"
Brother Zhao was stunned for a moment, and then laughed and said: "Sure enough, Mr. Shanguo is still a quick thinker, I admire it." ”
Only then did Mr. Shan Guo finally turn around and bow to Brother Zhao, who bowed to him, he also replied, "Brother Zhao has a good reputation." It's just that even I'm a little bored here. ”
"Yes, Originally, His Highness just wanted to give it a try on Liang Xian's side, but who knew that it was so easy to send us in, and it also disrupted the original plan. Now that the vicious woman has reconnected with the Zhong family, it seems that the relationship between Qi Ling and the eldest daughter of the Zhong family is about to be settled. ”
"It's going to be settled, but if it weren't for the fact that His Royal Highness Qi Jue was about to get the big fat piece of the Ministry of Shangshu, then His Highness wouldn't have given up this Liang Xian yet. ”
When Mr. Shan Guo said this, he couldn't help but sigh lightly.
Among the six Shangshu, the Ministry of Officials is the most powerful, and if the second princess, the Yang family and Qi Ling, have the full support of the Zhong family, then Qi Ling's momentum will inevitably go further, and it will be tricky for Qi Yu at that time.
Therefore, even Qi Yu knows that Liang Xian is not a great talent, but now the situation is urgent, if he can really put Liang Xian as the son of the Liang family, then he is a completely irreplaceable chess piece for Qi Yu.
For the sake of the four words "irreplaceable", whether it is Mr. Shan Guo or this Brother Zhao, they all understand that Qi Yu will not let go of Liang Xian's line, even if Liang Xian has little hope for the young son of the Shen family Mingyue.
But for Qi Yu, who couldn't catch up with the Shen family at all, Liang Xian was very important.
When Mr. Shan Guo thought of this, he couldn't help but feel a little helpless.
The more unlikely it is for Qi Yu to let go of Liang Xian's fish, the less likely it is for him to leave here, which makes Mr. Shan Guo, who has always boasted of having a talent in the world, not be very depressed?
"Alas......"
Mr. Shan Guo couldn't hold back in the end, and sighed deeply, as did Brother Zhao next to him. But at this time, the people they were guarding outside suddenly flattered loudly: "Uncle, you are back." ”
"Well, what about Mr. Shanguo?"
"It's all in the courtyard, uncle, do you need me to call Mr. and them out now?"
"No need, I'll visit you inside. As he spoke, Mr. Shan Guo and Brother Zhao heard a sound of footsteps, it was Liang Xian coming back. After the two of them glanced at each other, the still melancholy and depressed look just now had completely disappeared, and Mr. Shan Guo and the two had returned to their usual calmness, and walked to the front together to greet Liang Xian.
Liang Xian didn't expect the two of them to come here to greet him, and after a slight pause, he smiled and said, "Mr. Shan Guo and Mr. Zhao came to greet each other in person, which really flattered the students." ”
Mr. Shan Guo chuckled and said: "Just now Brother Zhao and I happened to be idle in the courtyard, and when I turned my head, I heard the voice of the uncle, knowing that it was the uncle and you were back, of course you have to come over to meet you, I wonder if the uncle was blamed by Aunt Han for going here?"
"It's nothing to blame, it's just that my mother is indeed a little dissatisfied, but it's nothing, this time I still have to thank Mr. Shan Guo and Mr. Zhao for their advice, otherwise this time I really have to make a big mistake." ”
Liang Xian thanked Mr. Shan Guo and Mr. Zhao, but Mr. Shan Guo said: "This is all within our duty as a staff, and we should not be thanked, the uncle is serious." ”
Mr. Shan Guo was polite, but Liang Xian kept thanking him, and then suddenly said: "I don't know who is the person who sent the message to the gentlemen this time? ”
Mr. Shan Guo and Mr. Zhao were both stunned, and looked up at Liang Xian, but at this time, Liang Xian's face did not have any unusual expression, and the two of them didn't see anything.
After Mr. Zhao quietly glanced at Mr. Shanguo, he first spoke: "Uncle Meng is worried, but that's just a family member, this time I happened to learn the news when I went to Jia County, and it is not a big achievement. ”
Mr. Zhao shirked and said the words to death, so that Liang Xian would not have the possibility of continuing to speak.
Liang Xian didn't care, and said regretfully: "That's really unfortunate, but it's okay, there will be more opportunities in the future." ”
"What the uncle said is reasonable, there will be more opportunities in the future. ”
Mr. Shan Guo and Mr. Zhao both smiled and agreed, Liang Xian also bent his thin lips, on the day when Shen's mother died "inexplicably", his handsome face showed an easy-going smile, looking at the two people in front of him, each with their own thoughts, and said with an interesting smile in his heart: No one is a simple character.
……
……
"No one is a simple character, it's only been three days, and all the relevant characters that can be found are either suddenly killed or their whereabouts are unknown?"
Shen looked at the news that had just been handed in, and said lightly, although his face was expressionless, but the ink painting standing beside her clearly saw the coldness in Shen's eyes.
"Madam, it seems that the other party is also quite powerful. ”
Mo Hua said softly, Shen also nodded lightly in agreement, on this news that was just sent in, among the people who died suddenly and disappeared, there are many people who have heads and faces in Jian'an, although the family members around them cannot be counted as powerful, maybe in broad daylight, and under the protection of more than a dozen family members, the other party can actually do something to these people, then the other party's power will not be small.
But the worst thing now is not these, the Shen family doesn't care how much power the other party has. But now they have cut off almost all the clues one step ahead of themselves, which is almost a devastating destruction for the Shen family, who is already one step behind.
"Madam, our current clues have all been broken, what should we do next?"
Mo Hua frowned and looked at Shen worriedly.
Shen didn't speak, and only said after being silent for a long time: "I remember that one of the great gifts that the Han family firm that I found earlier suddenly gave to the Sun family was the porcelain of the former dynasty that is now extinct, the Langyao celadon red stone smoker, right?"
Mo Hua was stunned for a moment before replying: "Yes, there is this one, and you were still surprised at that time, madam." ”
Shen lowered his eyes and said: "Tell me to go down and send someone to check from this famous product, the Lang kiln celadon has long been extinct with the fall of the previous dynasty, and it is impossible to find no trace of such a rare thing." As long as you figure out when and how it got to the Han family's firm, that's fine. ”
Shen Shi instructed with a faint expression and a light tone, although the ink painting was still a little puzzled, but he didn't dare to delay, so he hurried out to do something.
Shen muttered slightly for a while before he got up and walked towards the main room.
In the main room, today's Liang Yong is no longer the same as two days ago, although he will still be affected by the frequent and mixed people coming and going in the courtyard, but that will not frighten the little tiger, at most, when he is holding the chicken leg and gobbling it up, he will be slightly distracted.
But that was almost minimal, because Liang Yong would immediately be attracted by another delicacy that Liang Cheng pushed in front of him.
Now it is the same, after there was a rush of footsteps in the courtyard, Liang Yong's big eyes looked over there, but Liang Cheng also immediately brought a plate of steamed apricot fish to him.
"Yong'er, you try this. ”
"Which one?"
Liang Yong's little face, which had gradually become a little ruddy, immediately turned back, and the oily little mouth immediately subconsciously sucked the saliva on the side of his mouth, and looked over with bright eyes, after discovering a new face in front of him, the little tiger forgot everything, how could he still remember the footsteps that had just attracted his attention.
It's just that Liang Yong can be completely left behind immediately, but Liang Cheng can't.
After she looked at Liang Yong, who was already beginning to pick fish bones with relish, she turned her eyes to the direction of the cloud window that was still closed today, and when she was secretly wondering if something had changed just now, she saw Shen's figure out of the corner of her eye.
"Mother?"
The Shen family came in too silently, which made Liang Cheng slightly startled. And Liang Yong next to him was also stunned, and then looked at Liang Yuan's voice, and after discovering that it was indeed Shen's, Liang Yong's little face bloomed like a flower, and he rushed towards Shen's, "Mother!"
Shen Shi had been angry and uncertain, and at this time she finally smiled faintly, she touched Liang Yong's head, and didn't care that the oily little hands and mouth were rubbed on her rose purple makeup gown, she just smiled at Liang Yong for a while, and then raised her eyes to look at Liang Yong, who had also walked to her side.
"Have you drunk the medicine?" Shen asked lightly.
"I've already fed Yong'er to drink, and now I'm having lunch, have you used lunch?"
Liang Cheng took the soft handkerchief from Qingjiao's hand, and pulled Liang Yong over to wipe his hands for him in a funny way, while answering Shen's question.
"I've eaten it. And Shen Shi smiled and patted his head after hearing that Liang Yong had already drunk the medicine, and then handed him over to Liang Cheng, and he went inside to replace the makeup jacket that had been printed with several small oil handprints.
"Mother's ......"
But after Liang Cheng cooked for Liang Yong, she led him into the inner room, and called Shen Shi outside the screen with some words.
"It's fine. But Shen didn't wait for Liang Cheng to continue, so he said directly. This made Liang Cheng stunned at first, and then when she saw Liang Yong beside her blinking and looking at her incomprehensibly, Liang Cheng shut up, but winked at Liang Yong, making him raise the corners of his mouth.
And after a while, when the Shen family came out to get better clothes, the three of them still went outside, moved their chopsticks slightly, and after eating some dishes on the table, the Shen family asked them all to be removed.
After lunch, the Shen family was going to eat for a while, and today Liang Cheng and Liang Yong naturally went for a walk around together, and then Liang Cheng took advantage of Shen's amusement by Liang Yong to be in a good mood, and suddenly said to her: "My daughter has something to tell her mother." ”
"What's the matter?" Shen asked casually.
"Mother, the Moon Festival Lantern Festival will be held soon, I have already made an appointment with the eldest lady of the Zhong family when I was in Yong'an Palace, and I want to go out to visit the Lantern Festival together, I hope my mother can agree. ”
The Mid-Autumn Festival Lantern Festival in Xiyin is the same as Shangyuan, extremely lively. At this time, even the princes and princesses in the palace will come out to participate in the lantern festival, which is really grand.
But at first, when Liang Cheng made an agreement with Zhong Qing, she didn't think about it so much, but it was just an expedient measure at that time. But what she didn't expect was that the expedient measure at that time would become such a great opportunity at this time.
Just this morning, Zhong Qing sent someone to deliver a letter to her, and the letter only said one thing, and Princess Changping may also come to participate in the Mid-Autumn Lantern Festival in the near future.
This is a godsend.
You must know that Princess Changping is very infrequent in the palace, and the number of times she can be seen outside the palace throughout the year is really rare, and almost no more than one palm. Originally, for Liang Cheng, this was actually not a difficult matter, because Princess Changping didn't come out, so she would go in.
A trip to the palace may be a difficult thing for others, but for Liang Yuan, it is nothing at all. As long as she talks to her mother, she can enter the palace the next day in the name of asking for peace.
There are so many concubines and nobles in the palace, and it is not difficult for Liang Cheng to find a reason casually. Besides, no matter what else, the one in the Linyang Palace, as long as she fights the beginning, who will dare to stop her?
But this is only in the past, for the current Liang Yuan, if she wants to enter the palace, it will be a last resort. (To be continued.) )
