Xiang Ling Feng nodded: "I also remember the appearance of Mr. in Xia, we met at that time, it should have been in the capital more than twenty years ago, and we were in a hurry, but I didn't expect it...... Now the gentleman has become like this......"

The third master laughed at himself: "It's just to blame, no wonder others...... I continued, at the time of the massacre of the Eighteen Families sixteen years ago, I was in the Muya faction of Muya Mountain in Yuzhou, and the head of the Qiu family at that time had sent me a letter, but unfortunately when this letter arrived in Yuzhou, the capital was already a thing or a person, and I couldn't ...... I had time to save a few brothers......"

"After I learned about the Tu family, I was very angry, and immediately entered Beijing, first, I wanted to ask for an explanation for the first emperor of the eighteen dynasties, and second, I wanted to know, why did the first emperor get rid of the eighteen families quickly! Rescued by the Prime Minister, Luo finally didn't set foot in the Treasure Hall of the Sun, but the Prime Minister told me a shocking secret. ”

Lin Shaohua took over the words: "Senior Luo is serious, I can't say anything to save each other, it's just that Lin respects Senior Luo's chivalrous heart and helps each other casually, as for the shocking secret, it is not a secret, almost everyone in the court and China knew it back then, and the civil and military officials knew the truth of the matter, but no one dared to mention it." ”

Nan Ke hurriedly pricked up his ears, this matter about why the first emperor slaughtered the eighteen families, now maybe only from the mouth of the prime minister in front of him can hear the truth.

"Eighteen families since ancient times to the Xue family horse head is the foresight, before the establishment of the Southern Dynasty, the then head of the Xue family watched the sky at night, felt that the founding Taizu had the capital of Jackie Chan, so he bet on Taizu, to help him win the world, but the disaster is also buried from this moment, since the unification of the world, Taizu is more and more afraid of the power of the eighteen families, after all, the ability to wave his hand to make half of the army fall asleep is too terrifying, the ability of ten thousand enemies is born to be the nemesis of the army, so he is reluctant to be knighted, and there are more and more chaotic voices in the eighteen families, Just 25 years ago, there was a huge flood in the world, so the founding emperor ordered the construction of the Hongbo Grand Canal! ”

Nan Ke raised his eyebrows, how could this matter have anything to do with the Hongbo Grand Canal? The story of the Hongbo Grand Canal he heard the two brothers of the Sun family told, it was 25 years ago, when there was no Hongbo Grand Canal, since Sinan City and the capital are separated from Liangzhou, Jiangzhou, Zhongzhou three states, there are countless lakes in the middle, and in that year, the world has rained for nine months, the water level of rivers and lakes skyrocketed, it became a flood, after that, the founding emperor Li Zaidao made up his mind to take root in the flood, so he opened up the countless lakes of the three states, dug waterways, and built the Hongbo Grand Canal.

Lin Shaohua sighed: "Everything started with the Hongbo Grand Canal, when I only entered the court as an official, I was still a small official, in the third year of the construction of the Hongbo Grand Canal, near the Kou Mountain in Liangzhou today, there was a case, two villagers went to report to the official, saying that a craftsman who built the river embankment would perform evil magic!" Write their names on paper and bury them in the mud at the bottom of the river, and they will never be able to live again! This matter was originally a fantasy, but the people were ignorant, and they should not set off any storms, but at that time, the prefect of Koushan Dangkou City was a very timid and stupid person, and he was afraid that this craftsman would really perform evil magic, and cholera would reach his head, so he arrested the craftsman and tortured him, and finally the craftsman was beaten into a trick and confessed that he could perform evil magic. ”

Lin Shaohua said, looking at the third master: "At that time, I was an official in Muya City, Yuzhou, and I was responsible for the construction of part of the Hongbo Grand Canal in Yuzhou...... It won't get to this point today......"

Lin Shaohua's voice gradually dimmed, and he muttered for about a few breaths before he came back to his senses and continued to speak: "At that time, the prefect of the Dangkou City convicted the case for misleading the public with evil arts, and it spread to the capital, and the founding emperor immediately became suspicious when he heard it, after all, the evil magic theory can directly associate him with the eighteen families, and ordered a thorough investigation of the evil magic cases of the whole dynasty, this is okay, the edict, the officials everywhere for their own black yarn hats, but also in order to deal with Li Zaidao, that is a concealment and false alarm, no matter how many years ago, no matter what aspect, In short, all the cases were turned out and fabricated, turned it into evil magic, transmitted back to the capital, and reached Li Zaidao's ears, which became the world in the years after the establishment of the Southern Dynasty, there were evil arts and witchcraft incidents in various places, Li Zaidao was furious, and decided that this matter was related to the Eighteen Families, after all, this evil magic incident can cover the southeast and northwest of the entire country, if it were not for the power of the Eighteen Families, it would not be possible, but Li Zaidao did not get the butcher knife early, this matter dragged on and on, and the suspicion became heavier day by day, finally sixteen years ago, Li Zaidao's heart disease crushed him and died in the palace, and the crown prince at that time, that is, the first emperor Li Yinfeng ascended the throne, determined not to let the influence of this evil art continue to his own dynasty, and as soon as he ascended the throne, he issued an edict to kill all eighteen families in the world! ”

Lin Shaohua took a long breath: "This is why the first emperor killed all the eighteen families, but what about after killing?" At that time, the first emperor's favorite concubine Xiang Fei, is from the eighteen Fang family, Xiang Fei hanged herself in a fit of anger, the first emperor has been in a slump since then, the atmosphere of the court is getting heavier day by day, and then in the second year of the first emperor's accession to the throne, the two villagers who reported the case before could not withstand the pressure, and then reported the truth, when the craftsman was in the same village as them, the errand of building the canal fell on his head, these two people were greedy, so they casually made up an evil magic, and then reported to the official, and as a result, it was seven or eight years in a row, and countless people died, Just because of the red eyes of the two villagers. ”

Nan Ke's heart was full of anger, panting again and again, Xiang Lingfeng on the side was also angry at this time, he didn't know the reason for the slaughter of the eighteen families, and it was difficult to control his emotions when he learned it at this moment.

Lin Shaohua sighed: "This evil art case, in the final analysis, is because of fear!" The panic of the people in the market comes from the fear of witchcraft, and the panic of the officials comes from the fear of losing the black gauze hat, the panic of the emperor comes from the fear of rebellion, just because of fear, the eighteen families were slaughtered, countless officials in the court were implicated, the first emperor collapsed after the death of Concubine Xiang, and no matter how little political achievements there were, it was all because of the jealousy of these two villagers. ”

Nan Ke finally couldn't help it, and slammed his fist on the stone wall on the side, and the blood flowed from his fist: "Just because of such a ridiculous reason, so many people died in my eighteen families?" ”
