"It is true that people's hearts change, but they do not." She sighed lightly, her eyes drifting away, "Although my father has been up and down in officialdom for thirty years, his eyes are clear and transparent at all times.

"If it weren't for that, I wouldn't have taken every word of his teachings to heart five years after his death."

"If you are not right, it is difficult to educate people, and I understand this truth." Regarding Shi Qian's words, Xiao Ciyu really agreed from the bottom of his heart.

If a person is a traitor, most of the people he teaches will be unconvinced.

But if children can remember his teachings so deeply, then they can also get a glimpse of his past behavior.

As for whether Shi Qian put gold on her face and deliberately arranged to make her own family better, Xiao Ciyu didn't deliberately doubt it.

As she said herself, this kind of thing is easy to investigate.

Whether it is to go to the documents of the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Rites to check the past political achievements and deeds, or send people to inquire among the people and ask the people who once ruled about their judgments, they can find out the truth.

Take another 10,000 steps back and say, but looking at the behavior of the descendants of the Shi family, you can also find some clues.

For example, Shen Lanxi, who grew up in an environment like the Shen family, where did her good character come from? It can't be taught by Shen Cangxu and Cui's family, right?

It can only be the Shi family, the lady who came out of the Shi family.

Since there is not much problem with his nature, Xiao Ciyu asked carefully about the incident five years ago: "Since the old man has a clean breeze on his sleeves, how was he coerced into that ink corruption case back then?" ”

It seemed that he was afraid that the other party would misunderstand, and after a while, he changed his statement slightly: "Or, how did he get involved in the struggle for power and profit in the court, and make trouble with people to the death?" ”

Although he did not participate in the decision of the case at that time, he was already fifteen years old, and he remembered it.

He still remembers that the Shi family was not the only one executed in this Shi family case.

is not only selling officials and embezzling ink, but it is a chain case.

From top to bottom, all those involved have been punished to some degree. It's just that the Shi family is the worst, because Old Man Shi was confirmed to be the mastermind and sentenced to behead all the people.

That's the weirdest part.

Those who don't gang up and stand in line may not be easy to mix in the court, but when the factions are pinched together, they will not be killed.

It is possible that Old Man Shi offended people in the court and was framed. But the mastermind who was framed into a big case and ended up with the result of being beheaded all over the house is not very logical.

How much resentment or profit drive can be so framing people?

Although the people of the Dong family hate it, they are not stupid.

They would not have made such a big deal on an ordinary Qing official.

This point is the key, yes, Shi Qian herself also understands.

After only thinking about it for a while, she sorted out her thoughts: "At that time, the concubine had been married for many years, and she didn't know much about the affairs of the family. But... The concubine knew that although her father didn't do anything bad, he was a little close to the You family. ”

"Oh?" Xiao Ciyu raised his eyebrows, showing a little interested, "Tell me specifically?" ”

If the You family is involved, there may be more.

"In those two years, although there were no major problems between my father and Chen Shoufu, there was a little disagreement with a few of my classmates."

Shi Qian said slowly: "Yes, he gradually lost his relationship with Chen Shoufu, and the relationship between master and apprentice friends is not as harmonious as outsiders see." ”
