Chapter 30: The Truth
The two little guys were still palpitating, their heads were almost lowered to the bottom of their necks, and after being stunned for a while, Xiao Chengcai lowered his voice and spoke hesitantly.
"The minions also heard it in the teahouse outside, saying that Governor Tong and Guan Shangshu were both the people of the second prince... The second prince has a sacred heart, and he is powerful in the court, Governor Tong and Guan Shangshu embezzle salt and transportation tax silver, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are well aware, only because they are afraid of the second prince, no one dares to say much about it, only that Liang Shaokuan eats the bear's heart and leopard gall, and dares to touch the money bag of the second prince..."
Xiao Cheng's words were like a thousand catties of boulders, smashing into Lu Jiayue's heart word by word.
The things of the previous life, pile by pile, are like a mountain torrent collapsing, rushing in an instant.
Lu Jiayue spoke again, and there was already a tremor in her voice: "That... The second prince - but the king of Wei?! ”
There was no need for the two little guys to answer, she already remembered it clearly in her heart.
In the previous life, the saint suddenly collapsed, provoked the Yanjing chaos, usurped the throne, and as soon as he ascended the throne, he cured the Qu family for the great crime of rebellion, and ordered her father Lu Mian to be sent to the prison of the Criminal Department, which is the second prince of the current saint.
King Wei!
Reliving a life, suddenly mentioning this name again, Lu Jiayue's heart was full of hatred, like a flame, instantly burning into a raging fire in her heart, scorching her internal organs.
Since the collapse of the Qu family and the death of her father, she was admitted to the teaching workshop as a trick, and now although she has been reincarnated as a human being, everything has only passed for two months.
That painful experience happened just two months ago! And all of that is thanks to the King of Wei!
How can she not hate?
Letting the hatred in her heart surge, Lu Jiayue was silent, unaware that her expression had changed drastically, and she was so frightened that Xin Zhu and the two little guys on the side knelt on the ground.
Although Xin Zhu was afraid, he was afraid that he would not be able to persuade Lu Jiayue in time, but he would cause a bigger incident, so he gently held Lu Jiayue's hand, but he only felt cold, and he couldn't help but panic, so he cried.
"Miss, miss, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me, miss..."
Lu Jiayue didn't seem to hear any sound, and was silent for a long time, only to feel that all her internal organs seemed to be burned to ashes by hatred, and it was empty, and tears fell in her eyes.
It's okay, it's okay.
I have already lived a new life, and the tragic pain in my previous life has not yet happened.
But who can guarantee that everything will not be repeated? If you let go of all the people and things and still follow the track of your previous life, then in the end, the people of the Qu family, as well as your father, will still encounter misfortune!
In the past two months, although I have also thought about changing the fate of everyone around me, I have never found a way, and I have not even found a chance to change.
I'm so stupid! I forgot to find out the real culprit!
But the real culprit is the nobles of Tianhuang, the phoenix and the dragon grandson!
How can such a powerful enemy be able to resist with the strength of a small boudoir woman?
Lu Jiayue unconsciously clenched her hands into fists, and her snow-white teeth bit her lower lip tightly, biting her lips until blood beads oozed from her lips, and she felt a slight pain. Blood beads slid down her lips and into her mouth, and the fishy sweet taste made her gradually come back to her senses.
With a hoarse voice, he softly called Xin Zhu and the two little guys to get up.
As soon as Xin Zhu stood up, he hurriedly took a clean silk handkerchief to wipe the blood on Lu Jiayue's lips, and poured warm water for her to rinse. And although the two little guys stood up trembling and shrinking, they only stood limply under their feet.
As if all the strength in her body had been drained, Lu Jiayue's voice was ethereal and weak.
"What else did the people out there say? About the Liang Family... There is also King Wei's. ”
Xiao Shun didn't dare to speak again, Xiao Cheng wiped the cold sweat from the corner of his forehead, and replied stiffly: "I didn't hear anyone talk about King Wei, but someone said that Governor Tong will be expelled into Beijing in the next two days, and the saint has ordered the three law divisions to jointly try the salt tax case with Jin Yuwei, and I think Liang Yushi is preparing to start trying the case." ”
With such a shocking case and the Holy Lord's personal judgment, the Three Law Divisions and Jin Yuwei will definitely do their best to try the relevant personnel.
But in their previous lives, Tong Baili and Guan Ming died before they could be tried.
Everyone is dead, but who can be tried again?
Lu Jiayue smiled sadly, but Xiao Cheng's words were still coming into her ears intermittently.
"Some people also said that this case was decided by the Holy Lord, and Governor Tong and Guan Shangshu would confess to the King of Wei in order to protect themselves. Although the King of Wei is now favored by the Holy Lord, the Holy Lord has always been the most taboo that the princes have too close personal relations with officials, not to mention the collusion of interests, if Governor Tong and Guan Shangshu really confessed to the King of Wei, maybe the King of Wei will lose his sacred heart because of this matter..."
Xiao Cheng's words made Lu Jiayue suddenly remember a question she had in her heart.
That day, in the main house of her aunt Meng's family, when she heard her uncle Qu Hong talk about the two Huai salt tax cases, she suspected that there was something strange about the deaths of Tong Guan and the others. At this time, listening to what Xiaocheng said, she was even more sure that there must be an inside story.
And she had a vague feeling in her heart that she seemed to know a truth.
This truth may be the same as her, some people have doubted and speculated, but no one has dared to reveal it.
Because the death of Tong Guan and the others is simply murdered!
It's just that they know and master too much about the matter of transporting taxes and silver from the two Huai salts, and some people don't want them to make what they know and master public. Therefore, the soldiers made dangerous moves, and would rather risk the condemnation of the world than commit assassination.
Even if this move would cause the wrath of the Holy Thunder, it would be better than losing the Sacred Heart.
As long as the hands and feet are neat, there is no one, and there is no evidence to prove who did the death of Tong Guan and the others.
But who else benefited from the death of Tong Guan and the two people besides King Wei?
King Wei, King Wei, really small non-gentleman, non-toxic and not husband, although Tong Guan and the two are your tools to enrich your pockets, how can they compare to the favor of the saint?
The lesser of the two powers, the tools can be again, and if the sacred heart is lost, it will be difficult to turn around.
As a prince, the last thing you want to lose is undoubtedly the Sacred Heart.
But if he rescued Tong Guan and the others, let the two of them be tried, and said that he colluded with the King of Wei to embezzle ink and salt to transport taxes and silver, wouldn't it be just right to use this matter to suppress the power of the King of Wei and make him lose his sacred heart?
How can the prince who does not have the Sacred Heart have the capital to usurp the throne in the future?
Like a flash of inspiration, Lu Jiayue was startled by the idea that suddenly popped into her head.
But if you think about it, why not?
Although the King of Wei is a nobleman, he is only a mortal after all. The more authoritarian he is now, the easier it is to fall to pieces.
If you don't give it a try, how can you know the ending.
Although she is just a small boudoir woman, she must do her best to change and save the fate of everyone around her.
Lu Jiayue's heart was agitated and she thought hard.
What should be done to save Tong Baili, the governor of the Lianghuai Salt Transport, and Guan Ming, the head of the household department?
