Yin Rou saw that his expression was a little depressed, and somehow felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, so she turned around and walked to Yan Dongming and asked, "Cousin, do you know anyone surnamed Liu?" ”

His eyes glanced at Shen Xiuwen lightly, and Yan Dongming said in a non-reluctant tone: "I don't know." Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Just when Shen Xiuwen thought that he would not hear any valuable news, Yan Dongming suddenly changed his words and said: "However, fifty years ago, there was a big family surnamed Liu in the capital, and I only knew about it by listening to some elders. ”

When Shen Xiuwen heard this, his eyes lit up, and he swooped in front of Yan Dongming, and asked with a smile: "Brother Yan, where is this family now?" ”

Yan Dongming's eyes fell on him and looked at him, before he said slowly: "During the orthodox years, Liu Fu, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, won the appreciation of Emperor Yingzong, and later served as a cabinet minister. ”

When Shen Xiuwen heard this, he frowned and asked, "You said that the second lady of the Liu family killed the new champion?" What about the Liu family? Where is it now? ”

"You listen to me first." Yan Dongming leaned on the side of the red pillar, hugged his arms, and said unhurriedly, "At that time, it was rumored that the second lady of the Liu family was possessed by demons, and Liu Shangshu had to kill his relatives in righteousness, and privately found a Taoist priest to execute his daughter alive, and Emperor Yingzong learned of this and praised him a lot. But later, Liu Fu was beheaded because of a case, the men of the Liu family were filled with the army, and the female dependents of the Liu family were demoted to the official kiln as slaves and servants, and now so many years have passed, and no one knows the whereabouts of the Liu family. ”

Shen Xiuwen listened to his dull tone, and pondered: In this way, Liu Menghan died fifty years ago, so what happened to Yin Rou? If two people are unrelated, how can they look so similar?

Shen Xiuwen raised his eyes and asked, "Since Liu Fu is deeply appreciated by Emperor Yingzong, what kind of case could it be that Emperor Yingzong has such a ruthless intention to kill Liu Fu?" ”

"It's said to be a case of embezzlement." Yan Dongming paused and said, "But there is another theory, the corruption case is just a cover for Liu Fu colluding with the eunuch Wang Zhen, but there is another secret behind this case." ”

As soon as these words came out, the broken temple suddenly fell silent.

I don't know what Liu Fu committed, he even involved a large family as a slave, and he was beheaded, after all, he was also in a high position, how could he end up like this?

Liu Da'an was hung with his appetite, his mouth was half open, and he didn't dare to let out his breath, just waiting for Yan Dongming to continue.

And Miao Haoran's originally gentle face was also a little stiff, staring at Yan Dongming in a daze, and asked in a low voice: "What is the secret?" ”

At this time, a cool breeze suddenly poured in, Shen Xiuwen's back was cold, and he trembled all over, but he didn't make the slightest sound.

His eyes slowly swept over the three of them, and Yan Dongming suddenly spread his hands and said, "I don't know either." ”

Shen Xiuwen was stunned for a moment, and just wanted to say something, Yan Dongming hugged his arm again, and his voice suddenly changed: "However, there are rumors that Liu Fu's case has something to do with Emperor Yingzong's abduction by the Wara people, but no one can explain the reason, only know the change of Tumubao, Yingzong was taken captive, and then imprisoned in Nangong for eight years. ”

Liu Da'an showed an expression of sudden realization, if Liu Fu's case was really related to the captivity of Emperor Yingzong, only cutting off his head but not beheading all the doors, it would already be regarded as the emperor's grace.

Shen Xiuwen was silent for a while, and said in his heart: When Emperor Yingzong was defeated and taken away from Tumubao, he lost his throne, suffered humiliation, and was imprisoned in Nangong for eight years.

Shen Xiuwen was a little puzzled, raised his eyes and glanced at Yan Dongming, and saw that he was also thoughtful, I am afraid that he couldn't think about it, so he turned around and asked: "Is the new champion who was given marriage the young master of the Zhang family?" ”

When Yan Dongming heard this, he was stunned, and looked at him with a hint of doubt in his eyes, "Do you know the Zhang family?" ”

Shen Xiuwen said with a smile: "I heard a Confucian teacher mention it before, and every time I mentioned it, I felt a little pity. ”

When Yan Dongming heard this, he sighed: "The Zhang family is the only seedling on him, although he was talented before the champion, but his aunt was the only one in the family to take care of the housework, and he had to go out to do business to support the family, so even if he married the eldest lady of the Liu family, Liu Fu did his best to obstruct him, and finally married the second miss of the Liu family to him." Originally, the two had a harmonious relationship, talented and beautiful, but because of the high school champion of the young master of the Zhang family, there were variables.

Liu Fu asked the emperor to give the young master of the Zhang family and the eldest lady of the Liu family to marry him, forcibly separated the second miss who had mutual affection with him, and forced the two young ladies to marry others, but he didn't expect it to cause such a catastrophe. ”

After speaking, Yan Dongming's eyebrows showed a faint sadness.

Shen Xiuwen asked quietly: "How can Brother Yan be so clear about the affairs of the Liu family and the Zhang family?" ”

Yan Dongming didn't hear the doubts in his words, and only said: "Because the family of the second lady of the Liu family who was forced to marry back then was our Yin family." ”

As soon as Shen Xiuwen heard this, he suddenly remembered that in the dream, the maid of the Liu family who came to the Zhang family to cry mentioned that Menghan was forcibly forced by Mrs. Liu to agree to marry the second son of the Yin family in the west of the city!

Could it be ......

Shen Xiuwen was about to speak, but Yin Rou took the first step to ask, "Cousin, why haven't I heard of these things?" ”

Yan Dongming said: "You were still young at that time, when your grandfather was still alive, I occasionally mentioned that the second lady of the Liu family was born with a sinking fish and a goose, and Qing Shui came out of hibiscus, and my grandfather fell in love with her at first sight, but Lang had no intention of having a concubine, and finally failed to hold the beauty, which was a regret in his life." ”

"Since the second miss of the Liu family and the young master of the Zhang family are in love with each other, and their love is stronger than Jin, why would they kill him again?" Yin Rou frowned slightly.

Yan Dongming sighed heavily and said: "I don't understand, why did the young master of the Zhang family die at the hands of the second miss of the Liu family, my grandfather said that at that time, everyone said that the second miss of the Liu family was crazy, enchanted, and killed people when they saw them, many people in the Liu Mansion were injured, but my grandfather didn't believe it, and secretly investigated the matter, but he didn't find out anything, and finally the second miss of the Liu family was executed, and my grandfather was sad for a long time." ”

When Yin Rou heard this, she sighed with emotion. Shen Xiuwen's eyes fell on her face, then turned to look at Yan Dongming, and said, "You said that the Zhang family and the Liu family have a marriage contract, what's going on?" ”

"My grandfather once mentioned that the Zhang family, the Liu family and our Yin family are all ancestral hometowns in Ning County, the Zhang family is a scholarly family, and the Liu family started as a salt shop. The descendants of the Liu family were terrifying, and the eldest son Liu Fu was named on the gold list and appointed as a bachelor in the Hanlin Academy, and since then he has been on the rise. And the Zhang family is upright and refuses to follow the crowd, so it gradually declines.

Later, there was a big flood in Ning County, and the plague broke out, and the Zhang family was left with only a ten-year-old young master and his aunt, who had to come to the capital to join the Liu family, but they didn't expect to suffer the white eyes of the Liu family, except for the second lady, everyone looked down on him.

At that time, my grandfather also secretly took out the New Year's money to help the Zhang family, and he cherished the young master of the Zhang family and became a good brother, so he has always felt deeply guilty about the later proposal to the second miss of the Liu family. ”

Speaking of this, Yan Dongming was a little sad, "But my grandfather can't help it, if he doesn't mention his relatives, Mrs. Liu will marry the second lady to a butcher who sells pork, how can he let his beloved woman be humiliated like this, even if he is sorry for the young master of the Zhang family, he has to do it." ”

"I didn't expect my grandfather to have such a past, it's really sad." Yin Rouqing's voice trembled slightly.

Shen Xiuwen was silent for a moment and asked, "After the young master of the Zhang family died, what happened to his aunt?" Thinking of the gentle and dignified beautiful woman in the dream worried about him, his heart was clogged.

Yan Dongming said: "I heard that I married a rich son and gave birth to two sons, one of whom had the surname of the Zhang family, and it didn't take long for the family to move out of the capital and never came back." ”

Shen Xiuwen sighed in his heart, followed the example of those literati and, slowly paced to the door of the broken temple, and looked up at the sky and the distance.

Liu Da'an slowly pestled behind him, sighed slightly, and said with a melancholy face: "This capital is a big dye vat, the most prosperous place, and a place full of dangers......

Shen Xiuwen glanced back at him and said lightly: "What is there to worry about, it's not me going alone, isn't it accompanied by you?" If it's really dangerous, don't worry, I'll definitely pull you on your back, you're so fat, you'll be fine. ”
