56. Another turmoil

Liang Cheng didn't expect that it was such a pink and delicate little girl who picked it up, and he was stunned for a moment before he came back to his senses, and smiled softly: "Come in." ā€

The little girl raised her eyes and glanced at Liang Cheng quickly, then walked all the way to the study without squinting, stopped and stood five steps away from Liang Cheng, and saluted in a proper manner, her movements were very smooth and standard, which showed that she had an excellent upbringing, unlike ordinary refugees.

"What's your name and where do you live?" Liang Cheng asked.

"I ......" The little girl lowered her eyes, and was about to open her mouth, but her voice leaked a trace of trill, which showed that Fang Cai's composure and calmness were trying her best to disguise it, she shook her palm full of wounds, and said again: "The little woman Zhan Qingqing, her family lives in Shuozhou, Shanxi, her father is Shuozhou Prefecture, and her surname is Zhan Bi. ā€

"Zhanbi?" Liang Cheng silently recited the word in his heart, and after half a ring, he finally remembered who the owner of this name was, Zhanbi was a 22-year-old Tanhua of the Ming Dynasty, a disciple of the side branches of the Puyang Zhan family, quite talented, only two years after serving abroad, it became a state order, and the official career was unlimited, but in the previous life, the Zhan family caught fire, and the whole family was buried in the fire, and then traced and found that Zhan Zhou Ling had suppressed a mountain bandit, and after the leader escaped, he held a grudge, which made such a heartbreaking move.

This matter was handed over to Huang Zekai, the governor of Shanxi Prefecture, so Liang Cheng was not very clear about the intermediate process, but remembered that the governor of Huang Mansion arrested the ringleader, sentenced him to be beheaded, and finally presented the results to the imperial court, as if the case was closed in early April.

Now looking at the little girl in front of me who claims to be the daughter of Zhanzhou Ling, I am afraid that there should be another hidden story behind this matter. At this time in his last life, he was preparing for the Buddha's birthday on the eighth day of the fourth lunar month, and Liang Ji also stayed in the palace obediently.

Liang Cheng was still pondering, and saw that the little girl suddenly glared at Liang Ji, if you look at me again, I will gouge out your eyes, Liang Cheng is the first time to see such wild eyes on a little girl, I think it is interesting, I turned my head to look, I saw that Liang Ji was not annoyed when he was stared at, but smiled generously, and also made up for his rudeness to others on the street, showing his bearing and self-cultivation.

"It turned out to be the daughter of Zhanzhou Ling, Fang is the king is rude, you were a good girl in the boudoir, there must be some kind of hardship, so you will end up here, it is this king who misunderstood you, I don't know if Miss Zhan may forgive you?"

Zhan Qingzhi stared at Liang Ji suspiciously, a pair of eyes were like black crystals immersed in water, the heat that Liang Ji had finally retreated from began to gather on his face again, but fortunately, Zhan Qingzhi nodded hesitantly, and turned his head to look at Liang Cheng again.

Liang Ji suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and after Zhan Qingzhi turned his head, he began to stare at those eyes for a while, thinking that this girl was really good-looking, not only good-looking, but also the same as the noble girls he had seen, with a lot of energy on her body, vibrant, like the fluffy green struggling desperately in the cracks of the bluestone slab, people couldn't help but want to step on it, and what was even more amazing was that whenever the other party stared at him with those black and bright eyes, he felt a string of strange electricity passing through his back, which was really an unprecedented experience.

He had a rare thing, and he must get it back later.

Liang Ji was thinking about it here, but Liang Cheng still had to pretend to ask: "Since you are the daughter of Zhanzhou Ling, how can you appear in the Eastern Capital alone and recognize me?" ā€

Zhan Qingzhi replied: "Master Guoshi, I have seen you, two years ago, the national teacher supervised the Wuding River Worker, my father was only the county magistrate of Jingbian County at that time, and my mother was born in the medicine valley, and I followed my mother to help take care of the injured patients, and I have seen you in the refugee camp several times." ā€

"I see." Liang Cheng couldn't help but sigh, it seems that he has some fate with this little girl.

Zhan Qingzhi continued: "I entered Beijing this time to complain in front of the emperor! Please help the little girl! ā€

As he spoke, he knelt down with a "plop".

Liang Ji was the most anxious present, and before Liang Cheng could speak, he stopped him and said, "Hurry up, if you have any grievances, this king will definitely not sit idly by." ā€

Zhan Qingzhi looked at Liang Ji suspiciously, the other party didn't look much older than her, although he called himself "this king", but it was obvious that Liang Cheng on the side was more reliable, and even if Liang Ji had apologized, he still couldn't erase the fact that the other party was going to chop off her hands at the beginning.

Liang Ji couldn't see it, and his heart was suddenly a little depressed, but his face still didn't change color, and he pretended to be old: "Don't you believe in this king?" Since the national teacher has become a monk and has no influence on the affairs of the court, if you want him to help, isn't it difficult for a strong man? But the king can speak for you before your father. ā€

If Liang Cheng still can't see Liang Ji's mind now, then he is really ashamed to be a brother, he looked at Liang Ji with a smile, and decided to give the other party a chance to regain a good impression.

"Yes," Liang Cheng said helplessly: "The poor monk is now interfering in the court, Ji'er can help you a thing or two, if you have any grievances, just tell King Rong." ā€

Zhan Qingzhi hesitated for a moment, it was best to make up his mind, bowed to Liang Ji, straightened his waist, and said: "A month ago, I was sleeping, and my mother woke me up, saying that Huang Zekai, the governor of the government, was going to kill people and kill people, and asked Arlene to take me away, Arlene is my mother's apprentice, after I was taken out by Arlene, I found that there was a fire in the house, and my mother handed me something and asked Arlene to take me incognito. ā€

"As a result, the bad guys chased me, Arlene hid me in the hollow of the tree, ran away and lured the bad guys away, I waited for a night, Arlene didn't come back, I was scared, and the wolf howled, I didn't want everyone to die in vain, but the bad guys got away with it, so I came to the Eastern Capital alone, fortunately, I usually practice kung fu, and I can secretly follow the dart team, and my feet are blistered, fortunately, my mother taught me cĒŽo medicine, I can keep walking, and finally find the Eastern Capital, I heard that I can sue the emperor, but as soon as I got close to the palace gate drum, I was beaten away, I didn't dare to say that I was here to sue the royal court, for fear of being discovered, so I pretended to be a boy and wandered all the time, and as a result, Arlene ran out of money left me. ā€

Zhan Qingzhi could still speak clearly at first, but later, his eyes became more and more red, and finally he couldn't help but let out a whimper, but he immediately covered it with his hands, his shoulders trembled, and he held back two bubbles of tears, looking very pitiful.

Liang Ji said softly: "Don't be sad, I will definitely make the bad guy confess." What did your mother give you? ā€

Zhan Qingzhi hiccuped, took out a book wrapped in cowhide from his arms, and looked at it as if it should be a book, but Liang Ji suddenly looked away, and the tips of his ears were red and purple.

It turned out that when Zhan Qingzhi took something from his arms just now, he revealed the dirty clothes inside, although the skin was still tightly wrapped and he couldn't see anything, but Liang Ji still turned his head quickly after a glance.

After realizing that he had overreacted, he turned back as if nothing had happened, and said with a straight face: "Can you show it to this king?" ā€

"Yes." Zhan Qingzhi walked towards Liang Ji, holding the cowhide bag in both hands, and handed it to Liang Ji.

Liang Ji's eyes fell on the little hands that were scarred and there were still some stains between his fingernails, and he thought that he would have to wash them well afterwards.

However, the shape of this hand looks good, and when the injury is healed, it is estimated that it will look like a white and glutinous crystal rice cake.

This mind, as if he has regarded Zhan Qingzhi as his own, such a natural mentality, if Zhan Qingqing knows, I am afraid that the other party will glare at it fiercely and hide away.

After Zhan Qingqing handed over the things, he said: "I have opened it and read it, it is an account book, it seems to be related to the sale of iron, I have memorized all the accounts inside, Huang Zekai must be afraid that his father will participate in him, so he killed people, His Royal Highness King Rong, please be sure to arrest this big corrupt official." ā€

Liang Ji had already opened the accounts at this time, and Liang Cheng also looked at it together, and the two of them roughly browsed it, and they already had a conclusion in their hearts, this Shanxi Governor actually smuggled iron tools to the outside of the gate! This can already be punished as treason, no wonder Huang Zekai jumped over the wall in a hurry and killed Zhanbi's family directly.

Huang Zekai dared to do such a rebellious thing, there must be a lot of involvement behind it, Liang Ji realized the severity of the matter, and finally put away his original frivolous thoughts, and said to Zhan Qing: "Little girl Zhan, you stay here for a while, this king and the national teacher will send someone to protect you, you don't go out for the time being, this matter is not simple, I'm afraid I can't catch the bad guys immediately, don't worry, I won't let the Zhan family disappear in vain." ā€

Zhan Qingzhi heard this, and this time he finally put down the original mustard, knelt down and bowed for a long time, and choked up: "Your Highness Xie!" ā€

There were only two brothers left in the study, Liang Cheng turned the account book, and said: "I'll go into the palace with you, you wait here first, and let me change my clothes." ā€

"Okay," Liang Ji said, "Brother, who do you say this has to do with it?" ā€

Liang Cheng: "It's not certain at the moment, Daqi has been restricting the outflow of ironware, and there is a great demand for this piece outside the Guan, so the profits are huge, but no one dares to do this, unless this person has a very big plan......

"Brother refers to ......," Liang Ji pointed to it.

Liang Cheng nodded, looking at Liang Ji with some complexity, his younger brother, who used to only be coquettish and angry around him, sure enough, when he didn't know, he had already grown up, and he understood everything he should understand.
