Four members of the Yang family: Yang Quan and his wife, Brother Yun, and the maid Xiaohuan were buried in the cemetery of the Yang family, next to the tomb of the Yang family. Yinping and Hu were buried together, Fan Qi was buried aside, and Liansheng believed that the mother and daughter didn't want to get too close to him.

The funeral was very low-key, and when the funeral came out, Lian Sheng looked tired and wooden, and the smart and agile girl a few days ago disappeared, replaced by a wooden man with red and swollen eyes, a haggard face, and a withered heart. After returning from the funeral, Liansheng and Fangsheng pushed open the door of the side courtyard, and saw that on the stone under the loquat tree in the courtyard, Yu Shizhao was sitting there in a pale blue robe, thoughtfully, and when he saw their sister and brother coming in, he got up and said, "I've been waiting for you for a long time." ”

Lian Sheng walked directly past him with an expressionless face, Fang Sheng couldn't help it, so he had to salute and said, "My sister is in a bad mood, please don't blame the adults." ”

"Understood." Yu Shizhao glanced at Liansheng, who pushed the door into the house: "Wait for you for an hour, you must give a glass of water to drink." ”

Fang Sheng hurriedly invited him in.

Yu Shizhao was not humble either, and after coming in, he sat at the table, and Fang Sheng went to boil water. Yu Shizhao looked at the room and sighed: "I really didn't expect such a tragic thing to happen, but fortunately, there is still this yard to live in." ”

"What do you want to do when Lord Yu comes here today?"

Yu Shizhao snorted, leaned forward and looked straight at Liansheng, Liansheng lowered his eyes, "My lord, don't go too far." ”

"Excessive?" Yu Shizhao suddenly sneered: "Gu Liansheng, can't you still see the shape clearly?" ”

"I saw clearly, I saw how small and humble I was, and I used to be proud that I could get justice for my mother and that I could suppress the Chen family in etiquette, but what happened? As a result, my brother's family was killed because of my arrogance and ignorance. I'm so stupid, who do I think I am? Liansheng suddenly laughed dumbly, tears came out of the corners of her eyes, and she looked at Yu Shizhao with tears: "Lord Yu, I can see clearly, I can see it very clearly." ”

At this moment, Yu Shizhao trembled in a corner of his heart, a little painful and a little empty, as if he was suddenly grabbed by an invisible hand, and then let go, he looked at Liansheng, but involuntarily stretched out his hand, and his hand was a plain white silk handkerchief.

Liansheng burst into tears at the moment, and he didn't care about any suspicion of private teaching, so he took the handkerchief and wiped his tears indiscriminately.

Fang Sheng washed the cup and came over, and said apologetically, "Almost everything in the house has been burned, and please don't dislike this coarse porcelain bowl." Hey, sister, what's wrong with you? ”

After the tragedy, Fang Sheng saw Lian Sheng crying like this for the first time, Yu Shizhao waved his hand: "Let's make her cry, if you don't cry, she will always be like that dead." ”

Fang Sheng poured water on Yu Shizhao: "I don't know what the adults are doing when they come today." ”

"That's what you want to see?" Lian Sheng wiped away his tears vigorously: "Lord Yu, our sister and brother have no power and no power, and they began to be teased by you, so you dragged Fang Sheng into the case, you and Gu Shangshu fought the law, and did not hesitate to use the ancestral mother's seal to attack the Gu Mansion, now, are you happy to see us like this?" That's what you want? ”

"Hey, hey, I mean, why are you so shafted?" Yu Shizhao shook his head: "It's true that I dragged your brother into the case, what did I do to him?" I told your brother to be beaten on the board, and I didn't do anything to you? Wouldn't it be good to give your mother a posthumous seal? In the future, as long as the Chen family enters the ancestral hall to worship their ancestors, they have to worship her, why did it become me to calculate you everywhere? Now that something has happened to the Yang family, do you think I'm happy to see it? I, Yu Shizhao, kill people like hemp, but those are all people who should be killed? Don't you wronged me? Does this have nothing to do with me, and definitely didn't I ask someone to do it? ”

Yu Shizhao sneered: "If we Jinyiwei did it, do you think you two would still be able to stand here and gasp?" Mallet. ”

"Don't feel aggrieved and put a basin on my head, Gu Liansheng, I still think you are a little interesting, but now it seems that you are just a girl, and you can't pretend to be a master. Yes, if I come for nothing, you can continue to cry and complain. The dead are dead in vain, no one takes revenge anyway, they are all here to feel sorry for themselves, just you, hit your head and die with them, my lord, I think you are pitiful and can still give you a suit. ”

What Yu Shizhao said is really poisonous.

Fang's clenched fists clicked angrily. Yu Shizhao squinted his eyes and looked at him sarcastically: "What's the matter, Xiao Xiucai, do you still want to fight?" You don't have enough power to tickle me. ”

"So what do you think I'm going to do? Fighting with Gu Shangshuming? Help you Jinyiwei? Don't forget that he is our biological father, in this world, filial piety crushes people to death, even if we come forward to testify that he stops his wife and remarries, even if he is punished, then what about us? From now on, Fangsheng will be completely out of contact with his career, and he will be spurned by the world with a reputation of disloyalty and filial piety. This world is so unfair, and all benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and faith are deceitful. ”

Liansheng now feels that feudal etiquette is really cannibalistic, and Gu Shangshu is also an unscrupulous father, and a filial piety word can crush him to death.

She is not convinced, but what can she do if she is not convinced? Can you get by? Now I can't fight, I can only endure, there is a knife on the head of the heart, and I let the knife cut it with a knife.

"That's right, I hate those sour literati, looking at the sanctimonious, in fact, full of male thieves and prostitutes, all day long, all empty talk and misleading the country, they tossed the Ming Dynasty and came to toss our Dashun Dynasty. Hehe, my lord, I'm going to take out these bezoar dog treasures of waste dim sum one day. Yu Shizhao put on a heartfelt look: "Gu Liansheng, my lord, I am proud of your cool strength, which is different from other big girls and little daughters-in-law in our Dashun Dynasty." It's useless for you to put on this dead face, no one will pity you, if you want revenge, you have to cheer up. ”

"I want revenge, who killed my brother's family, everyone knows it, Fang Sheng and I don't have the power to take revenge at the moment, but I don't want to cooperate directly with you Jinyiwei." Lian Sheng adjusted his state and sat opposite Yu Shizhao.

"Don't want to be direct? That's indirect? ”

"Yes, indirectly, without exposing our siblings."

Fang Sheng looked at Lian Sheng with wide eyes, why did he not understand a little: "Sister, what are you going to do?" ”

"Tell me what you think."

Yu Shizhao saw that Lian Sheng was able to quickly adjust his feelings after venting, and he secretly admired in his heart, this little girl is indeed a little different.

"You've got to keep us safe."

"Yes, I think you're quite interesting, and I'll have more fun if I live a few more years."

"Fang Sheng is about to take the autumn exam, I will accompany him to the exam, and when the exam is over, I will go to the Gu Mansion, what do you need, we can cooperate Of course, we will cooperate secretly. I can't let Fang Sheng be charged with unfilial piety. ”

"Yes, I like to work with people who are secretly making trouble."

"What about you? What do you want to do with me? Liansheng's eyes were clear, Yu Shizhao was a little dazed in an instant, why did she seem to be dominant?

"Do you know the princess?"

"It is rumored in the market that she is the most favored concubine today, and she must be like a fairy."

Liansheng came to this Dashun Dynasty and heard the rumors of Wang Guifei: sixteen years older than the emperor, it is said that she was just a palace maid next to the empress dowager, and later was ordered to be the nanny of the little emperor grandson, and the emperor and grandson succeeded to the throne and set up this nanny as a concubine.

"Hehe, maybe she was a beauty back then, but now the charm still exists. Holy taste, hehe. When Yu Shizhao talked about Wang Guifei, his words were disrespectful, full of mockery.

"Although Wang Guifei is favored, but it is in the harem, in the court, she has been angry with scholars since she became a concubine, saying that she was from a humble background and is not worthy of being an example for the six palaces, and this one grasps Wang Guifei's background and experience and is headed by Gu Shangshu."

"So, you're here on behalf of Wang Guifei to find Shangshu's stubble?"

"I don't want to, and Concubine Wang can't help me." Yu Shizhao said this, his face was solemn: "I can also count this as a kind of revenge, I hate the great truth of those scholars, what kind of background is commonplace, I can't get used to their hypocrites' lofty appearance, I just want to tear off their face masks to show the world." What you have to do is to explore the dirty affairs of the Gu family inside and out, and let Gu Shangshu taste the unspeakable taste of bitterness. ”

Liansheng liked this.

She also thinks the same, the sanctimonious Gu Shangshu, those sons and ladies of the Gu family, the fake Chen family, those blood feuds, one day they will tear off the faces of these people and let everyone know what they are!

"The safety of me and Fang Sheng in the future will be handed over to Jinyiwei, if we bring down Gu Shangshu, the mastermind who killed my brother's entire family must be handed over to me for disposal."

"That's natural, I have hundreds of ways to torture life that is worse than death but can't die can teach you, Tong Su is not bullied, and no tuition is charged."

"Okay, deal."

Liansheng stood up: "This is a send-off, my lord, please." ”

"Gu Liansheng, you are really ruthless and unjust, you have to drive people out when you run out?"

"Lord Yu, the main thing is that it's lunch time, and I only have porridge and pickles here, which really can't get into the eyes of adults."

"Sister, you're crazy, this is a tiger skin, do you believe he can keep his promise?" After Yu Shizhao left, Fang Sheng felt that things were not feasible.

"How else? Now it's a matter of both our safety. As long as we are useful to Jinyiwei, we can survive. I have to take a stand, how can I bargain with others without showing sincerity. ”

Liansheng pressed Fangsheng's shoulder with blazing eyes: "Look at me Fangsheng, promise me, you will forget about today's qiē, this is a matter between me and Jinyiwei, what you have to do is to get out step by step and become a protégé of the Son of Heaven, only if you pass the exam, we will have the capital to compete with Gu Shangshu, and I will be more useful in the eyes of Jinyiwei." ”

Liansheng's face was haggard, but his eyes were bright and scary, and Fang Sheng looked at her and nodded heavily.

Seven days after the tomb, Liansheng unloaded his errand in the yamen, received Yang Quan's pension silver from the master, and embarked on the road to the provincial capital to catch the exam with Fangsheng.
