Chapter 187: Bankruptcy
Two days later, the trial of Liang Yi came down, and Emperor Changping learned that Liang Yi had evaded so much taxes, so he was furious and directly sent Liang Yi to the frontier.
Liang Yi was blinded by desire, wanted too much, and finally put himself in.
As for Liang Yi's son, he was directly sentenced to be beheaded.
Originally, Liang An was not favored by Emperor Changping, and with such a good opportunity, Emperor Changping of course took the opportunity to clean it up.
Moreover, as an emperor and a shrewd emperor, Emperor Changping had a deep understanding of the word balance.
The Liang family has been in the limelight in the past two years, if it is not suppressed, the Liang family itself will not know the southeast and northwest, and furthermore, the government and the opposition, there are more and more people who are dissatisfied with the Liang family, and if Emperor Changping does not do something, I am afraid that it will lead to bad consequences.
Anyway, this time Liang Yi's father and son are out of play.
And Liang Yong, the head of the Liang family, after the matter of the Ministry of Rites was revealed, Liang Yong was put in prison and retried. But discerning people also know that Liang Yong probably can't get out.
The Liang family was in a gloomy mood.
"Mother, let's go into the palace to ask Concubine Liang, Concubine Liang will definitely help."
Liang Yong's wife knelt in front of an old woman with gray hair, although the old woman was old, she was in very good spirits, and her eyes were cloudy but bright.
This old woman is Liang Yong's mother and the last head of the Liang family.
Liang Yongliang translated into a family soon after the old man Liang died, but the old lady has always been in good health, and now she is still very healthy, at home, although Liang Yong is the head of the family, some things will still ask her mother's opinion, it can be said that this old woman still has a pivotal position in the Liang family.
Hearing Liang Yong's wife's words, the old woman's brows furrowed tightly, and she glanced at Liang Yong's wife with disgust.
"Crying and crying, what kind of system has it become, Yong'er is not dead yet." The old woman slammed the table, and Liang Yong's daughter-in-law was so frightened that she stopped crying.
"Mother?" Liang Yong's daughter-in-law asked weakly.
"Let me hear anyone cry again, get out of the Liang family." The old woman repeated, and the women below who silently wiped their tears held back their cries.
"Go, take a trip to the Prime Minister's Mansion and let Min'er come back." Mrs. Liang commanded.
"Yes, old lady." The butler got the order and ran out quickly.
Looking at a room full of people crying and crying, Mrs. Liang felt a headache.
In her life, she gave birth to two sons and two daughters, but the two sons are not very competitive, although Liang Yong entered the court as an official, but his political talent is mediocre, if it were not for the prestige of the old man Liang, I am afraid he would not be able to do such a high position.
The second son is okay in business, but now that there is such a thing, tax evasion can be caught, Mrs. Liang can only scold in her heart: stupid.
The two daughters are still competitive, one entered the palace and became one of the four concubines, and the other married into the Prime Minister's Mansion and became the head of the house.
And Mrs. Liang loves Liang Min more, because if Liang Min wants to enter the palace, he also has a way, and he has a means. But Liang Min could see it. Married to a scholar who liked her, although Mrs. Liang was very optimistic before, but now she also understands that Liang Min is the smart one.
After entering the palace, the glory and wealth are certainly captured. But how can the emperor favor you alone, there are three thousand beauties in the harem, you can never be the most dazzling.
And Liang Min is different, although Xue Zhongjing also has three wives and four concubines. But no one can threaten Liang Min's status, for so many years, Liang Min has firmly held the entire Prime Minister's Mansion in his hands, and no matter what she does, she will never lose her favor with Xue Zhongjing.
This is the life that a woman dreams of, how a man is a man's business, but what a man does, he can remember you in his heart, that is a woman's ability.
Now that there is such a big thing in the Liang family, Mrs. Liang is also very flustered, but as the backbone of the Liang family, Mrs. Liang has to stabilize herself, otherwise, how can such a big family be in chaos?
Liang Min was in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and when he heard the news that Liang Yong and Liang Yi had all been in prison, his eyes were dark, and he almost fainted.
"Ma'am?" Xue Zhongjing is obviously not easy at this time, his brother-in-law is both in prison, and Xue Zhongjing's mind is spinning quickly at this moment.
As a civil servant, Xue Zhongjing's best thing is to use his brain, and now the Liang family is like this, it is definitely not just because the Liang family committed something, if it is really the two of them who committed something, then it is better to say, if it is another possibility, if the emperor is determined to deal with the Liang family, this matter will be difficult to do.
"Sir." Liang Min cried and fell into Xue Zhongjing's arms.
"Madame, don't worry, I'll go to the palace to investigate." Xue Zhongjing patted Liang Min's back and comforted.
"Master, how can this be?" Liang Min cried even more fiercely when he heard this, the eldest brother and the second brother were suddenly imprisoned, and Liang Min also panicked.
"......" Facing Liang Min's question, Xue Zhongjing was also silent, he only prayed now that the Liang family could spend it safely this time, and it was best not to implicate him, remembering that he had received a lot of silver from Liang Yi before, Xue Zhongjing was afraid for a while.
If His Majesty finds out, will he also find out on his head?
It is impossible to enter the palace now, if the people of the Liang family are imprisoned, he will urgently yell to intercede, and Emperor Changping will probably die of anger.
Therefore, entering the palace is just an excuse to face Liang Min, otherwise, Liang Min will make trouble with him, and of course he doesn't want to be so troublesome.
"Master, the people of the Liang Mansion are asking to see?" The butler walked in and said.
"Let him in." Liang Min wiped his tears and said hurriedly.
"Prime Minister, Prime Minister's wife." The butler came in and saluted.
"What's wrong, what's going on at home?" Liang Min hurriedly asked.
"Madam, the old lady said to let you go back." The person from the Liang family replied respectfully.
"Okay, I'll go back, master, I'll ......" Liang Min turned his head to look at Xue Zhongjing.
"Someone, prepare the carriage, and send the lady back." Xue Zhongjing shouted directly out of the door.
"Master, over there in the palace.?" Liang Min meant something.
"I'll go to the palace." Xue Zhongjing swore an oath.
"Thank you, sir." Liang Min touched Xue Zhongjing's face.
"It's not hard, I'm supposed to do it." Xue Zhongjing held Liang Min's hand.
"Master, I'll go first." Liang Min glanced at Xue Zhongjing affectionately and went out.
In the eyes of outsiders, Liang Min is so old that he is really uncomfortable with Xue Zhongjing, but Xue Zhongjing enjoys it.
It seems that in his eyes, Liang Min will always be a little girl in her twenties, no matter what she does, she looks beautiful.
"Go and keep Madame with you, and protect Madame." Watching Liang Min go out, Xue Zhongjing hurriedly said.
"Yes, sir." The butler answered and followed.
Xue Zhongjing watched Liang Min go out, went in to change his clothes, and hurried to the palace.
Liang Min came all the way to Liang's house, and the Liang family couldn't help but light up when they saw that it was Liang Min coming back.
Only Liang Yong's daughter-in-law did not look very good.
Sometimes, it's not a good thing to have a very powerful sister-in-law.
Liang Min is so strong that her sister-in-law's presence in the Liang family is not high at all, every time she makes a mistake, whether it is Liang Yong's mother or Liang Yong, she will be compared with this sister-in-law.
Over time, Liang Yong's daughter-in-law was dissatisfied with Liang Min, not a star.
"Mother, I'm back."
Liang Min walked into the hall, and before he could salute, he was called by Mrs. Liang to his side.
"Your eldest brother and second brother......" Old Madam Liang choked up.
"Mother, don't worry, at present, the eldest brother will not be in any danger, but the second brother is a little difficult to say." When the carriage came, Liang Min analyzed.
In fact, everyone has such a trait, in front of people who are weaker than themselves, they will rise up a desire to protect.
Like Mrs. Liang, when Liang Min didn't come back, she looked tough, but when Liang Min came back, Old Lady Liang's eyes began to burst into tears.
And Liang Min was very weak in front of Xue Zhongjing, after leaving the Xue Mansion, Liang Min's mind immediately became clear, and in a short period of time, he analyzed the stakes.
Liang Yong is also an official of the same dynasty, although the matter of the Ministry of Rites is really related to Liang Yong, but there is no evidence yet, so they can only detain Liang Yong in prison and slowly verify.
Now it is more dangerous for Liang Yi, the holy decree has come down, Liang Yi is going to be assigned to the frontier, it is impossible for Emperor Changping to revoke the will, now as long as you can fight for it, leaving Liang Yi in the capital is the best result.
In that place on the border, birds don't, if Liang Yi really goes there, even if their Liang family is powerful and powerful, it will be beyond the reach of the whip.
"Mother, what about the second sister-in-law?" Liang Min looked around and found that Liang Yi's daughter-in-law was not here, and she came up in a hurry, at this time, could it be that she would have an idea to stay at her own home? What a stupid thing.
"Your second sister-in-law, your second sister-in-law said that she fainted, and Liang An's daughter-in-law is here." Old Madam Xue pointed to a little daughter-in-law in blue clothes sitting at the bottom of the house.
Liang An's daughter-in-law's eyes were red and swollen, and she cried when she saw it.
Liang An is no longer in Liang Min's consideration, her nephew has never been favored by the Liang family, he has been mixed up for several years, and he is still in the position of the prison secretary of Dali Temple.
The verdict of the beheading has come down, and the emperor's order is difficult to disobey, especially this kind of death penalty, which is mostly a foregone conclusion.
"Auntie." Liang An's daughter-in-law heard Liang Min's roll call and quickly stood up.
"Don't cry, An'er...... There's nothing I can do about it. Liang Min's tone was sad.
"Daughter-in-law's province." Liang An's daughter-in-law nodded numbly.
Married to Liang An for a few years, because Liang Yi was in business, the life of their young couple was not bad, and there was never a shortage of food, clothing, housing and transportation before.
"Mother, now, as long as the second brother can stay in the capital and not be assigned to the frontier, it is better than anything else." Liang Min sighed and said as if resigned to his fate.
"That makes sense, Min'er, what do you say? Mother listens to you. "Mrs. Liang is now only praying for the safety of her two sons.
