Su Miao took Su Chan back, and when she said goodbye to the crown princess, she didn't say anything, and the crown princess didn't know what to say, with a stumbling expression. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Soon after the three sisters of the Su family left, the words of the eldest princess Jingyang in Meilin spread throughout the prince's mansion, first in the women's guest area, and then floated to the male guests, and the prince's mansion was shocked by this shocking news. I believe that after tomorrow, this news will spread more widely.

After Liang Qi talked to Su Chan, because her weak body couldn't stand the intense mental stimulation, she was in a trance several times, and the crown princess hurriedly ordered someone to send her back to Jing'an Palace.

Liang Yi was very surprised that Su Chan was Liang Qi's daughter, when Liang Qi lost his daughter, he and Liang Ao were already teenagers, and Liang Qi's biological mother Xia Taifei was very fierce because of this incident, and Xia Taifei went to Xue Guifei every day to cry, and Liang Yi and Liang Ao probably knew about it. Later, more serious things were exposed, and the father and emperor suppressed the royal face with all their might, completely cut off the spread path of the scandal, and let the matter be completely sealed.

And Liang is a little younger, and they were still studying hard when it happened, so it's not surprising that they didn't know at all.

Liang Xi's eyes were full of shock, he put his hands on his cheeks, looked at the faces of his brothers, and asked in surprise:

"The third sister of the Su family is the daughter of Aunt Jingyang? Aunt Jingyang still has a daughter? ”

Liang Yi frowned and did not answer.

Liang Gu and Liang Chang also did not speak.

Liang Xi pouted unhappily when he saw that they ignored her.

"Since it was admitted by Aunt Jingyang's mother, there shouldn't be anything wrong." Liang Gu suddenly opened his mouth at this time, paused, and smiled, he said strangely, "This Su family is really amazing, I thought that their family was just ordinary people but they were lucky, but I didn't expect that there was a dusty orb hidden in the house." Aunt Jingyang's daughter is definitely not King Jing'an's, that is Nanpingbo's. He sneered, "No wonder the second brother wants to accept a tomboy as a side concubine, the second brother is more poisonous than our eyes, and I can see at a glance that it is a shining pearl." ”

"Seventh brother, why are you yin and yang, you can marry if you want, you don't even have a concubine, maybe if you raise the position of the concubine, people will happily marry you!" Liang Xipi said with a smile.

Liang Gu stiffened his face and glared at her.

Liang Yi frowned and reprimanded in a deep voice: "How can you two talk, it's not big or small, it's not a system!" ”

Liang Xi flattened his mouth, twisted his head to the side, and continued to drink tea.

Liang Gu glanced at her coldly, shut up, and didn't raise the bar with her.

Liang Yi glanced at Liang Chang, this kid was just stunned for a moment after knowing that Su Chan was Liang Qi's daughter, but no one else was surprised, it seems that he and Liang Ao already knew about it, no wonder Liang Ao suddenly wanted to take Su Chan as a side concubine, he was also surprised that Liang Ao's kid was wrong, it turned out that it was because of this, it turned out that he had taken a fancy to Jing'an Palace.

Liang sneered, and he shook his head.

The birthday feast continued in an eerie atmosphere.

At the end of the day, the fireworks show held exclusively for the crown princess began.

Colorful fireballs rose into the air, overlapping together, colorful, sparkling, after exploding, they turned into brilliant gems, inlaid in the night, and finally gradually turned into a series of galaxy waterfalls, slowly falling down, the picture is extremely beautiful.

The guests began to cheer excitedly because of the brilliant fireworks, and the ladies all looked at the princess with envy, and His Royal Highness the prince was affectionate and cared for the princess, and it was the dream of all women to be loved by her husband like this.

Bai Zhi smiled, and her attitude was gentle to deal with all kinds of envy and flattery, she raised her head, quietly glanced at the viewing pavilion built at the highest point of the rockery behind her, and when she lowered her head again, her smile became heavy, and she sighed softly.

"Sister-in-law, are you okay?" Liang Xi asked as he squeezed her hand.

Bai Zhi came back to his senses, smiled at her comfortingly, patted her hand, hugged her shoulders tightly, raised his head again, looked at the brilliant fireworks in the sky, and his heart was heavy.

Liang Xi felt that today's crown princess was very wrong, and she looked at her with suspicious eyes without blinking.

……

On the gazebo of the rockery.

Liang Yi, Liang Gu, and Liang Chang sat opposite each other.

Originally, Liang Ao should have been present, but he went back early, but it didn't matter, Liang Ao was not the main character today.

Throughout the afternoon, several brothers and sisters of their Liang family had been drinking in this pavilion, although this was not surprising, but on the birthday of the crown princess, there were so many guests coming, only a few of them always felt a little weird to drink in a small circle, this kind of thing could have been done in private one day.

And what really made them suspicious was that after the dinner, Liang Gu and Liang Chang were recruited to the pavilion by Liang E, and Liang Xi wanted to follow, but was sent away by Liang E. Liang Xi is the youngest sister, Liang Yi has always loved her, no matter what she wants to do, Liang Yi agreed, just now Liang Yi actually rejected Liang Xi, and left her to the princess to take care of, which made Liang Gu and Liang Chang feel very strange.

Liang Yi didn't speak, Liang Gu and Liang Chang began to feel uneasy, the two of them had their own thoughts, and they were silent for a while, Liang Gu spoke first, and asked with a smile:

"Brother Prince, you ......"

Liang Yi raised his hand to stop him from continuing, and at the same time, Liang Yi's personal guard, Zhang Li, walked up the stone steps quickly, walked to Liang Yi's side, and whispered a few words to him.

Liang Gu and Liang Chang looked at them suspiciously, intuition was wrong, but they couldn't say what was wrong, and the two of them were inexplicably a little nervous.

After listening to Zhang Li's report, Liang Yi stood up and lightly left the next sentence:

"You two come with me."

He walked down the rockery.

"Brother Prince, where are you going?" Liang Chang stood up and asked.

Liang Yi did not answer.

Liang Gu and Liang Chang had no choice but to follow him.

The three of them rode out of the Prince's Mansion, left the Liang Capital City, and galloped towards the Sailor Yamen outside the city, followed by a hundred personal soldiers of the Prince's Mansion.

On the way, Liang Gu and Liang Chang also asked, but Liang Yu didn't say anything, and they had no choice, so they came to the water master yamen without explanation.

Liang Yi, who was walking in front, turned around, and Liang Chang, who was following Liang Yi, also looked over, Liang Chang was keenly aware that the atmosphere between Liang Yi and Liang Gu was a little strange, but he didn't know what was going on, and his heart was also a little uneasy.

"Ah, let's go." Liang Yi whispered to Liang Gu, unable to hear joy and anger.

Behind, the pro-soldiers of the Prince's Mansion had already poured over, they always followed behind the master, Liang Su stopped, they didn't get the order but they wouldn't stop, seeing that they were about to be bumped into, Liang Gu was forced to take a step forward and move forward.

The three of them came to the port dedicated to the Sailor Yamen, and two large ships that Liang Gu was familiar with were escorted by military ships and were moored on the dock.

The port in the dark night, the elite soldiers of the Prince's Mansion are heavily guarded, the tall sailing ships, and the treacherous atmosphere, here and the previous warm and noisy Prince's Mansion are completely different worlds.

The admiral and deputy governor of the navy division yamen led a cadre of important personnel to be escorted by the forbidden soldiers, and knelt in front of the port in unison, bowing their heads deeply and hanging their heads in despair.

The atmosphere in the harbor, illuminated by lanterns, was suffocatingly tense.

At this moment, Liang Gu's heartbeat stopped, his head was blank, he was still walking forward, following Liang Yi, but there was no consciousness in his mind that he was still walking at the moment, his whole body was stiff, and even his ability to think was frozen.

As the crown prince, it is inevitable that they will have conflicts with the crown prince, and everyone is waiting for the most mature opportunity for conflict, and they have already been mentally prepared. However, when this conflict really happened in front of him, it was too fast, completely unprepared, and he was not even prepared. He never thought that the crown prince would attack himself without warning when the entire Liang capital was lively for this banquet on the crown princess's birthday.

Liang Yi took the lead in boarding the sailboat, and the guard Zhang Jian greeted him and gave a respectful salute.

"What about the kids?" Liang Yi asked him softly.

"Back to Your Highness, it's all in the bilge." Zhang Jian replied in a low voice.

Liang Chang, who came up later, listened to their conversation and was stunned for a moment. Liang Jian had already followed Zhang Jian to the bottom bilge, Liang Chang hurriedly followed, and the group came to the bottom hatch of the sailboat one after another, Zhang Jian opened the hatch, and a wooden staircase came into view, and the smell of dampness and decay was in the nose.

Zhang Jian hesitated, turned around, and said to Liang Yi in a persuasive tone:

"Your Highness, it smells bad."

Liang Yi was silent, took the lantern in his hand, and walked down the wooden staircase.

Liang Chang and Liang Gu followed.

The staircase was high, initially dark, and when they reached the bottom of the cabin, in the sparse light, they saw a wide space. This is the size of the entire bottom of the boat, there is no partition in the middle, such a large place, a place that is not easy to see at a glance, it should be very spacious, but it is here, densely packed with children. From five or six-year-old children to teenagers, ragged and lifeless, they sat on the ground one by one, their eyes were empty, this was no longer despair but more than despair, so many children, not even a single cry, they hugged themselves tightly, hugged hard, like small beasts trying to survive with fake death, only when outsiders passed in front of them, their eyes would flash a trace of vigilance and vigilance.

Liang Chang thought that there would be something unsightly in the bilge, but he didn't expect it to be so many children, he suddenly thought of the child abduction and trafficking case that shook Liang Du recently, and the huge number of children in front of him shocked him, he seemed to understand something, and looked at Liang Gu with incredible eyes.

Liang Yi was looking at Liang Gu and looking at him coldly, the tragic situation of these children was beyond Liang Yi's expectations, it shook his heart, and he was furious.

"Your Highness, it has been calculated that there are two hundred children in this ship, and one hundred and twenty children were found in the other ship, most of them from the ten southern provinces, and a large amount of silk, porcelain, tea, spices, jewelry, medicinal herbs, and copper coins were also seized on board."

Liang Yi nodded, glanced at the children in tattered clothes, and commanded in a deep voice:

"Wait until you take them all out, let Lang Zhong see if they are infected with the disease, and then ask for the address of their home and the names of their parents, register them, distinguish them according to their hometowns, and send these children back to their parents as soon as possible."

"Yes." Zhang Jian replied.

Liang Yi turned around and walked down the wooden ladder out of the bilge to a cabin on the top floor.

Liang Gumu Ran followed behind, he knew that he had nowhere to escape, only his father, King Rui and the crown prince had their own private armies in the royal family, that is, Liang Ao and Liang Min, who had outstanding ability to lead the army, and their cronies' armies belonged to the emperor and King Rui respectively. This time, he couldn't run away, it only depended on how much Liang Yi could find out, but with Liang Yi's meticulous temperament, he wouldn't have brought him here without complete evidence, that is to say, he was planted here today.

In the cabin, Xue Ming was tied up and knelt on the ground by Wuhua Da, and he was kneeling with Xue Mingzhu, who was already crying with makeup, and Liang Yi's guards were polite to her, only binding their hands.

Seeing Liang Yi coming in, Xue Mingzhu immediately turned around and cried loudly and asked:

"Brother Prince! Brother Prince! What's going on? Why did they tie up my brother? Brother Prince, let them let go of my brother! ”

Liang Yi ignored her, he glanced at Xue Ming, Xue Ming's face was ashen, and he knelt on the ground in a decadent manner. Xue Ming is a smart person, he already knows his end, he is finished.

Xue Ming's business ability has nothing to say, and the reason why Liang Gu takes a fancy to him is also because of his outstanding business methods. However, his only failure was that he had a stupid sister, and if he had left his sister sooner, he would have a bright future, but it was a pity that his stupid sister made him stupid with him.

Liang ordered someone to take down the crying Xue Mingzhu, took out a few books from a stack of blue ledgers on the table, turned around, threw them in front of Liang Gu, and said lightly:

"These were copied from your house, and the human and material evidence is there, don't you recognize it?"

They searched King An's mansion silently, and he didn't hear any news, like a lamb to the slaughter.

Liang Gu felt sarcastic, he sneered, raised his head, and sneered at Liang Yu:

"You haven't already found out, so why bother asking, I just admit it."

Liang Yi glanced at him, stepped forward, stared into his eyes, and asked in a low voice:

"In your heart, there is no guilt at all?"

"Why should I feel guilty? It was originally wrong for my father to block the customs, how could trade be forcibly banned because of the imperial court! Liang Gu looked him in the eye and said sharply, his tone firm and awe-inspiring.

Liang Yi laughed, he pushed his hand heavily on Liang Gu's forehead, his eyes were full of anger, and he said coldly:

"The reason for the retreat to Kosi is that sooner or later there will be a war between Yueliang and Kosi, and in order to accumulate military strength and take precautions, they will temporarily retreat. Trade and trade? Scold! Ahh Kosi is rich in silver, but the copper production is low, you use the copper coins of Yueliang to go to Kosi to exchange for a large amount of silver and then come back in exchange for copper coins and then exchange for silver, reduce the number of copper coins in the country, and suffer the civilians who use copper coins, but you yourself make a lot of money, this is your trade? What's going on with those kids? The prince of Yueliang actually participated in the trafficking of his own young children to be slaves in Kosi! ”

The country has a large number of minerals, and at the same time the cultivation and manufacturing industry is also developed, but the population of the country is sparse, the labor is expensive, and in such an environment, illegal slaves are very sought-after in the country, bought and locked up to work day and night, give a small amount of food, and do not have to pay wages. The dark market thrived the human trafficking industry, and when there was no sea ban in the past, there were traders who illegally abducted children to go to Kosi to sell them, and the resulting sea ban led to a stronger demand for slaves in Kosi, and the price of buying slaves was several times higher than before, which made Liang Su, who had never paid attention to this inferior business, interested, and this time the boat was his third time, and the third time was planted in Liang Yi's hands.

Liang had nothing to say.

Liang Yi let go of his forehead and took half a step back, he looked at his calm face coldly, then raised his hand and slapped Liang Gu fiercely!

Liang Gujie was slapped firmly, his cheeks were bruised, he lowered his head and didn't say a word.

"Next, it's time for you to explain to your father." Liang Yi said lightly.

Two burly guards stepped forward and directly escorted Liang Gu down, and Xue Ming was taken away at the same time.

There were only two people left in the cabin, Liang Yi and Liang Chang, Liang Yi took his hands, raised his head, and after a while, he sighed deeply.

Liang Chang looked at him, this was the first time he felt the breath of a king in the crown prince, not domineering and arrogant, but firm and awe-inspiring and righteous spirit.

Liang Yi has always been a gentle and weak person, but today, he simply disposed of Seventh Brother without any drag and no mercy. and the slap just now, Liang Gu lowered his head and didn't see it, but Liang Chang clearly saw the deep disappointment in the eyes of the prince, the prince probably didn't expect that the seventh brother would lose his conscience to sell young children.

"Ah Chang," Liang Yi was silent for a while, and suddenly spoke, and said to him with a serious expression, "Between brothers, it's easy to say anything, but if you are like your seventh brother, you can drag down the Yue Liang Kingdom, which has only prospered with great difficulty, little by little, this crime is unforgivable." ”

Liang Chang's heart chuckled, he looked at him, was silent for a moment, lowered his head in a proper manner, and responded:

"Yes." (To be continued.) )
