And Qiu Hong, as if he knew that Zeng Shengji would come, sat on the haystack with his eyes closed, and slowly opened his eyes when he heard footsteps.

"I heard Bi Xinyu say that the accident in the Zeng family a year ago was related to you, what happened at that time?"

Qiu Hong tugged at the corners of his mouth: "I'm already a person who is going to die, why should I tell you, I might as well bring the truth of this matter to the coffin." ”

Gu Qingjue lifted his robe and squatted down.

"Qiu Hong, bringing it into the coffin can't take revenge on my master, it will only cheapen the person who planned it behind the back, and when you die, that person is really worry-free. In your current situation, do you think he will save you? He'll just push you and make you die sooner. ”

Qiu Hong's face changed several times.

"Why should I believe you, and what good will it do me if I say it?"

"I can intercede with Lord Zhao and save your life."

Qiu Hong sneered: "It's up to you?" ”

In the past few days, he has checked Gu Qingjue.

is just a powerless scholar in Jiangning Prefecture, that is, his fiancée, who has some skills, and his face is worthless in front of Zhao Jin.

also dared to boast about Haikou, saying that he would save his life.

"You don't think that Lord Zhao passed by Mingguang County by accident, right?"

Gu Qingjue's words fell, and Qiu Hong looked up in surprise.

"What do you mean? Zhao Langjun was specially invited by you to Mingguang County? ”

Gu Qingjue smiled and raised his eyebrows.

"Impossible! You are just a scholar in Jiangning Prefecture, how can you make the eldest grandson of the prince of the founding county come to help you from a long distance? ”

Gu Qingjue still smiled silently and looked at Qiu Hong.

Qiu Hong looked at him, and he, a man who had been immersed in officialdom for many years, was defeated from the confrontation.

Look away.

He needed time to think.

After a while, Qiu Hong finally spoke: "I can tell you what happened to the Zeng family a year ago, but you must ensure that I can get out of prison alive." ”

"Naturally, I still have the most basic credibility of talking about it. As for whether you have ......"

Gu Qingjue didn't say the rest of the words.

But that look made Qiu Hong a little uncomfortable, knowing that Gu Qingjue was yin and yang him, but what he did, he himself admitted that it was very despicable.

But how many people in the world can always be open-minded?

Qiu Hong used his hands and feet together, moved his buttocks, and the shackles on his hands and feet made a dull crashing sound.

Gu Qingjue and Zeng Shengji were not busy, and even some officials moved a small wooden bench for the two to sit down, and this move made Qiu Hong completely believe that the relationship between Gu Qingjue and Zhao Jin might be really good, otherwise how could there be such treatment in the prison of the county government.

"I say!"

The Zeng family is a family of military generals, and the ancestors have made great contributions, and there are many generals in that period, but there are not many generals who can always be reused by the emperor like the Zeng family.

And the Zeng family is one of them.

They were stationed in Dingzhou to guard the northern part of the Great Song Dynasty.

He has always advocated the recovery of the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, and has launched several campaigns for this purpose.

The Zeng family fought in the main battle, and the political opinions of some people in the court were at odds with each other, and the heart of the Zeng family gradually got rid of them.

"Who are these people you are talking about?"

"The Kong family."

Zeng Shengji said: "What you said is Kong Chong, who signed the Privy Council. ”

Qiu Hong nodded.

"It's the privy envoy Kong Junfei."

In this dynasty, the privy envoy, as the chief of the privy council, is jointly responsible for the important military affairs with the prime minister, but in fact, the prime minister is in charge, and the privy council is in charge, generally with civilian officials, and occasionally by the prime minister.

It goes without saying how much power Kong Junfei has.

"My Zeng family is loyal to the court, and has never been subservient, even if he wants to harm my Zeng family, there is no real evidence, how can the official family believe it?"

"Evidence? This thing can be faked. ”

Gu Qingjue said: "What role did you play in the matter of the Zeng family's annihilation?" ”

Qiu Hong squirmed his lips.

"I ......"

Gu Qingjue had actually guessed it, but he just wanted to listen to Qiu Hong himself, because the master was here, he needed to listen.

Qiu Hong knew that he couldn't hide, so he could only tell the whole story in exchange for a chance to live.

According to Qiu Hong, Kong Chong knew that Qiu Hong and Zeng Shengji were very close, and he used Qiu Hong as a breakthrough to buy Qiu Hong with a lot of money.

Then, Qiu Hong took advantage of this relationship with Zeng Shengji, and closely corresponded with Zeng Shengji, who was still stationed in Dingzhou at the time, and obtained a large number of letters written by Zeng Shengji, and then imitated his notes, forged letters with Daliao, and blamed the Zeng family for collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country.

The Zeng family went from being full of loyalty to martyrs, and suddenly became traitors.

Everyone shouted and fought.

Naturally, there are also some people who are good friends with the Zeng family and speak for the Zeng family in the court.

The official family was benevolent and wanted the prime minister to investigate the matter again, but for some reason, the official family suddenly issued a holy decree to raid the Zeng family.

Just raiding the house can still save a life.

But when Kong Chong led the team to Zeng's house, he directly wiped out the Zeng family, and later reported to the official's family that the Zeng family resisted, and found letters with the Great Liao State from the Zeng family, which confirmed that the Zeng family betrayed the country with the enemy.

The official family is sad, but the person is dead, and he does not want to be held accountable.

It was Kong Chong again, saying that Zeng Shengji was not arrested.

So he laid a net in Zeng's house, waiting for Zeng Shengji to take the initiative to throw himself into the net.

What they didn't know was that when Kong Chong led the team to destroy the door, Zeng Shengji had already rushed to Kyoto and witnessed his parents, brothers, wives and children die under their swords.

He wanted to show up.

was discovered by his great-father and told Zeng Sheng with lip language that he should not come out.

It is necessary to find out the truth and clear their grievances.

But overturning the case is not that simple.

What Zeng Shengji thinks of every day is the picture of his relatives dying in front of him.

Suddenly, one morning, he woke up and couldn't remember what had happened.

When someone chased him, he instinctively fled.

Flee all the way from Kyoto to the capital of Gangning.

Later, I met Su Yixin and came to Gu's house.

"Okay, I've already said everything I know, when will you keep your promise."

"In three days' time, you will still be taken to the noon gate to be beheaded, and I have a way to show the people that you are dead. After that, you have to be incognito yourself. ”

Qiu Hong breathed a sigh of relief.

It doesn't matter if you live incognito, as long as you can survive.

Gu Qingjue and Zeng Shengji got up and walked out of the cell, and at the corner, Gu Qingjue glanced at Qiu Hong sarcastically.

He promised Qiu Hong not to kill him.

But some people won't let him live.

Zeng Shengji knew what happened to the Zeng family a year ago, and wanted to go to Kyoto to expose the truth about Kong Chong's framing of the Zeng family.

"Master, I asked the officials of the county government. On the night Qiu Hong met you, a carrier pigeon flew out of the county office. It is exactly the direction of Kyoto. It is very likely that he has already reported to Kong Chong. The person he sent may already be on his way, or he may have arrived in Mingguang County. ”

"I'm not afraid of being a teacher."

Gu Qingjue shook his head: "Master, it's not a question of whether you're afraid or not. There is no way to bring down Kong Chong based on Qiu Hong's words alone. We need to think long-term. ”
