What is written on the silk is how to explain things to His Majesty: for example, if His Majesty asks about the gambling contract, how to answer, and if he asks about the wind and rain and the thunder and lightning, how to answer?

Including the note, it was also delivered to him as evidence.

All this was calculated long ago.

Xie Jiqing looked at this granddaughter who she hadn't seen for five years in disbelief, but she replied very calmly as an understatement: "Yes, Dong Shizi and Xia Houhong, I killed them, and I attracted the thunder and lightning and split them into ashes." ”

"You-"

Xie Jiqing's face immediately turned gloomy, a little annoyed and a little helpless.

Qiu Shi on the side immediately knelt down: "Family master, you can't blame Lang Jun for this matter, not to mention that what Lang Jun did was also for the heavens, how many robberies and plunders Dong Shizi, Xia Houhong and Leshan Hou and King Linhe had done in this Jiankang City, how many women were mutilated by it, and the family was ruined, Lang Jun did this, but also for the people!" ”

"Shut up! is too rigid and easy to break, too wise is dead, even if they have done countless things that have lost their conscience, it is not something we can control. ”

Xie Jiqing looked at Xie Ling with some sadness, and asked again, "How did you do it?" How can we call for wind and rain, and lead thunder and lightning? Is it really just a poem? ”

Is it really a poem that is not a poem because of a poem?

"Of course, a poem can't attract thunder and lightning, and my granddaughter just happened to choose such a favorable time and place." Xie Ling replied, "Grandfather, there is no such thing as gods and ghosts in this world, the so-called celestial phenomena, thunderstorms and even solar and lunar eclipses can be calculated.

When Jin Xiangyuan and Xiao Zhengze were playing gambling and shooting, I asked him to insert two iron rods on the two gold mountains, and when lightning came, it could be conveyed through the iron rods.

Originally, as long as he didn't touch the iron rod, nothing would happen, but Dong Xian did not hesitate to pounce on the iron rod for his battle armor worth seven million, and Xia Houhong wanted to pull him again, so the two died under the thunder and lightning together. ”

Hearing Xie Ling's calm recounting of this murder by thunder and lightning, Xie Jiqing couldn't believe that this was the granddaughter he raised single-handedly, and his heart was mixed for a while, rolling like a stormy wave.

He was stunned for a long time before he sighed and asked, "Ah Ling, how can you have such a deep and meticulous mind?" You're just a little girl who doesn't get to the bottom of your rope now! ”

"But I am also the eldest son of the Xie family, grandfather, you said that since I am the eldest son of the Xie family, I must take on the responsibility of revitalizing the family!"

Xie Jiqing couldn't help but hold his forehead painfully:

"But I didn't let you kill either! Ah Ling, grandfather just hopes that our Xie family can live up to the expectations of our ancestors, no matter how the troubled times change, it can be passed on from generation to generation, grandfather just hopes that our Xie family will have talents from generation to generation, and I hope you can enjoy the glory of your life of health and glory! How do you ......"

Xie Ling knelt down to Xie Jiqing and said:

"Grandfather, Ah Ling understands his grandfather's hard work, and Ah Ling also knows that there is a prophecy about our Xie family, but grandfather, look at it, what is the situation of this big beam now?

Zhuangzi said: Those who steal the hook will be punished, and those who steal the country are all candidates, and the law of my Daliang is so useless, Your Majesty is harmonious with the nine clans, and the courtiers are preferred, and those who commit crimes are all subservient to the law, and if the people are guilty, and the case is like the law, the fate of the old and the young will inevitably sit, and one person will flee, and the whole family will be hostaged.

It is precisely because His Majesty is so frank that the laws set up have always been only for the common people, but wider than those of the royal family, so there will be people like Xiao Zhengde, Xiao Zhengze, Dong Shizi, and Xia Houhong who are unscrupulous and break the law to kill people and seize wealth.

Since Your Majesty does not punish their sins, then it is up to your grandson to punish them by the hand of Heaven and cure their sins! ”

Xie Jiqing was so shocked that he couldn't speak, he paced back and forth in the room for several steps, looking at Xie Ling and sighing again and again, trembling, and sighing helplessly.

The room was also in a tense atmosphere for a while, and after a long time, Xie Jiqing suddenly asked Qiu Shi to withdraw from the room, and when only the ancestors and grandchildren were facing each other in the room, he asked: "Ah Ling, this matter is not over yet, is it?" ”

Xie Ling replied truthfully: "Yes! The deaths of Xia Houhong and Dong Xian are just a warning I gave to Xiao Zhengze. ”

"What else do you want to do? Do you still want to kill Xiao Zhengde, the king of Linhe? Xie Jiqing asked.

Xie Ling was silent for a long time and did not answer, but Xie Jiqing saw an obvious killing intent in the eyes of this granddaughter, which was a kind of killing intent that burned with flames and wanted to crush people's bones and scatter ashes.

"Ah Ling, stop it! Now the world of Daliang is the world of the Xiao family, if you kill them in the Xiao family, you will have to compensate our Xie family, since my grandfather knows about this, he must not let you go wrong like this! Someone—"

Xie Jiqing was about to summon someone in, but he heard Xie Ling ask, "Grandfather, do you know what Jiankang City will look like in fourteen years?" When Ah Ling was a child, he saw a book that his grandfather treasured in a sandalwood box, and knew the prophecy that my Xie family would decline after nine generations, and my grandfather's hard work in cultivating me was not also to change such a fate? ”

Xie Jiqing's face was stunned, and he looked at her in even more surprise.

"Have you read that book?" He asked in a low voice.

"Yes, I've seen it!"

Xie Ling couldn't help but moisten his eyes, and said secretly in his heart: As early as in your previous life, when you were about to die, you showed me that book!

This book is a secret handed down by their Xie family ancestors, only the head of the Xie family is qualified to see the contents of the book in person, and in the previous life, when Xie Jiqing was dying, he passed this book to her hands.

mentioned this book, Xie Jiqing's heart was also very desolate:

"Yes, some of our Xie family ancestors did predict the fate of our Xie family after nine generations of decline, and also predicted the fate of the Great Liang to be destroyed by thieves, but this is just a prophecy, maybe ......"

He wanted to say that maybe this was just a guess, and it might not really come true, but when the words came to his lips, he couldn't help but swallow them.

From the Southern Song Dynasty to the Southern Liang Dynasty, the Xie family went from prosperity to decline, and how many people died from the tilt of imperial power, none of the records in that book did not work.

When Xie Ling was born, there was a vision in the sky, the purple air came from the east, the glow was shining, there were cranes coiling on the roof, roaring for nine days, Xie Jiqing regarded it as a good omen, so after the death of the eldest son Xie Jingxiang, he did not succeed other heirs under his name, but simply regarded Xie Ling as the son of the long house and recorded it in the Xie family tree.

The name "Ling" in "Lingyue Heroes" is also a high hope for her.

"No maybe, grandfather, you know, there are many things that have already worked!"

Xie Ling's words interrupted his thoughts, and then she stood up again, came to the window, brushed the half-hidden bead curtain open, pointed to the twilight sky outside the window, and said, "Grandfather, please look at that star!" ”

Xie Jiqing walked to the window curiously, followed Xie Ling's slender fingers, and saw that the seven stars in the north sky were twinkling in the night sky in a spoon-shaped shape, and they were extremely bright, and just outside these seven stars, there was another star, although it was not dazzling, but it seemed to be gradually approaching the star symbolizing the crape myrtle star at an imperceptible speed.

"That's the Seven Killing Stars!"

Xie Jiqing is also well-versed in the Four Books and Five Classics, so he naturally understands the number of crape myrtles in the Book of Changes, and knows that it is a seven-killing star that symbolizes the thief who disturbs the world.

"What's wrong with this star?" Xie Jiqing asked.

Xie Ling lowered his gaze, looked at Xie Jiqing and replied, "This Seven Killing Star is approaching the Ziwei Star, when it is in the same palace as the Broken Army and the Heavenly Wolf, the world will be in chaos." ”

Xie Jiqing's face changed suddenly: "Then where is this Seven Killing Star now?" ”

"It's still in the Northern Wei Dynasty at the moment!"

"Northern Wei? Even in the Northern Wei Dynasty, how can it get close to the crape myrtle star bucket of my beam? Xie Jiqing asked with some horror.

Xie Ling also smiled slightly bitterly in his heart:

Now although the Northern Wei Dynasty is the Empress Dowager Hu to listen to the government, it is Er Zhurong who is really in charge of the government, and under Er Zhurong, there are two brave and good generals, that is, Gao Huan and Yuwentai,

In the near future, it was these two people who split the Northern Wei Dynasty into the Eastern Wei Dynasty and the Western Wei Dynasty, and they were called the two great heroes of the Northern Land.

Gao Huan was only born as a post soldier, because he was favored by Lou Zhaojun, the daughter of the Southern Dinghou of the Northern Wei Dynasty, he was named the King of Bohai, and gradually entered the political and metallurgical center of the Northern Wei Dynasty.

"What's wrong with this person?" Xie Jiqing has also heard of Hou Jing, who was born as a post soldier with Gao Huan, and is deeply valued by Gao Huan, and now he has a heavy army and works under Er Zhurong.

"He is the Seven Killing Star of the thief who stirs up the world." Xie Ling replied, looking out the window again.

There are only two people who Hou Jing respects the most in his life, one is Gao Huan, the other is Murong Shaozong, one is his master, the other is his teacher, he once said: "If Gao Huan is here, I will be loyal to Gao Huan, if Gao Huan is not there, I will not succumb to the knees of Xianbei Xiaoer." ”

So, after Gao Huan's death, he betrayed Gao Cheng, the lord of the Eastern Wei Dynasty at that time, without hesitation, and wanted to flee to the Western Wei Dynasty to submit to Yuwentai, but Yuwentai was a politically outstanding and far-sighted person, he expected that Hou Jing would not be willing to surrender to anyone, and on the surface agreed to his surrender, but in fact he didn't take it seriously.

After learning of Yuwentai's attitude, Hou Jing did not give up, but extended his greedy claws to Southern Liang, in the case of Gao Cheng of the Eastern Wei Dynasty and Yuwentai of the Western Wei Dynasty, Hou Jing fled to the Southern Liang with his remnants of the defeated generals, savagely seized Shouyang as a base, and then pretended to bow down to Xiao Yan, the son of the Southern Liang Emperor.

It was this Emperor of Heaven who believed in Buddhism in Daliang, not only did not expel the thieves from Nanliang, but raised them as important ministers, so it caused the "Waiting Rebellion" after that.

After Hou Jing was a murderer, he invaded Jiankang, and then brutally plundered the sons and daughters of the land of Sanwu, causing its population to drop by 200,000, and less than 3,000 people survived in the end.

As soon as he thought of this, Xie Ling's heart felt as cold as falling straight into an ice kiln, and he was extremely uncomfortable.

"Ah Ling—"

didn't know that this was Xie Jiqing's first call, Xie Ling suddenly woke up and looked at Xie Jiqing.

"Kid, what's wrong with you?" Seeing her look so lost, Xie Jiqing seemed to be in pain again, and couldn't help but reach out and stroke her forehead, "Grandfather didn't blame you for doing something wrong, grandfather was just scared!" I'm afraid you'll ...... by accident."

Xie Ling shook his head, looked at Xie Jiqing and said with a smile: "Grandfather, don't worry, Ah Ling is fine, if you are not fully prepared, Ah Ling will never do anything that you are not sure of." ”

"Ready?"

"Yes! Grandfather, Ah Ling assures you that Ah Ling will never bring any disaster to the Xie family. ”
