Chapter VI: The Grave Crime of Treason
Liang Xin sighed and asked in surprise, "How do you know?"
"Skinny, roe deer, timid and afraid, only promised" The little white face said coldly: "There is such a big money spot on his face, it is difficult to recognize him." When he was still outside the mountain at the earliest, the little white face not only recognized Feng Xi, but also saw that Liang Xin was the owner of the little ghost.
The little white face didn't wait for others to continue to ask, and said straight down: "In addition to having a money spot, Feng Xi is not unusual, and there are countless little ghosts like this in the world. However, this style still has an identity, three hundred years ago, he used to be the ghost servant of Lord Liang Yier. Now he worships you as the lord again, and your surname is Liang, and you are still a sinner, hehe, how could I not guess that you are the descendant of Lord Liang. ”
"Ahh
Before Liang Xin could speak, Tsing Yi Liu next to him exclaimed first, and asked a series of questions: "Liang Yier, Lord Liang who helped Emperor Taizu conquer the world, Lord Liang who single-handedly founded the Nine Dragons Division, Lord Liang who was finally sentenced to death for the crime of rebellion?"
Liu Yi's every word was like a thunderclap, echoing fiercely in Liang Xin's ears, he had previously learned from his mouth that his ancestor was a big official, but he never thought that Liang Yi's second ancestor was still the founding minister.
"That's right, it's the first commander of our Nine Dragons Division, Lord Liang!" Xiao Bai's face was straightened, and he nodded: "Back then, the ancestor of my Qu clan also followed Lord Liang from birth to death, and I was deeply favored by him...... But later, the world was peaceful, and the heart of this Lord Liang also turned black! Do you know what were the first cases handled by Liang Yier after he established the Kowloon Division?"
His words tasted wrong, and Liang Xin and Liu Yi didn't dare to answer.
A sneering sneer hung on the corner of Xiao Bai's face: "After the establishment of the Kowloon Division, the first batch of cases handled was to picket all Liang Yi'er's old subordinates! These people were all born in Rongma, and they have been killing with swords and soldiers for decades, attacking cities and plundering land, how can their net worth be clear? Everyone is guilty after an investigation! All of them have been dismissed from their official posts and rushed back to the countryside to farm. ”
Liang Xin was completely dumbfounded, and the corners of his eyes began to touch, trying to find a way out of his life......
Liu Yi's face twitched, he was a member of the Nine Dragons Division, and he understood that his yamen's prison was many times more terrible than an ordinary prison.
Xiao Bai's face remained unchanged, and he continued: "A few years later, Liang Yi'er plotted against the incident and was sentenced to death, and the ancestors of my family were also able to redress their grievances and reinstate the officials. ”
Liu Yi swallowed his saliva and whispered: "Congratulations to my lord......"
Xiao Baimian suddenly laughed: "But the surname Qu is not a fool! When Lord Liang was asked to behead, my ancestor suddenly realized!." After the establishment of the Nine Dragons Division, Liang Yier must be plotting an earth-shattering event, if this matter fails, all the people who have something to do with him will probably be implicated, so he will first find a reason to blow away all the old subordinates of the year. At that time, the ancestor of my family made a poisonous oath and sacrificed his life to overturn the case for Lord Liang and repay him for his painstaking kindness!"
Liang Xin finally breathed a sigh of relief, and wondered in his heart, the ancestor surnamed Qu seemed to be very fond of swearing: "My ancestor, what is the big thing he is plotting? Is it really a rebellion? Why should he rebel?"
Xiao Baimian narrowed his eyes slightly: "If he really rebels, what else can we investigate?" With Lord Liang's martial arts strategy, if he wants to become the emperor, he will never wait until the Great Flood is stable before making a move!"
Liang Xin didn't understand it very well, but he could also understand what Qianhu meant: "Feng Xixi said that his skills are very high, and you said that he is very powerful, if it is really an unjust case, even if he can't fight it, can't he escape?"
Xiao Baimian shook his head slowly, and said: "These things are real royal secrets, the files of the year have long been destroyed, and the crime is treason, but no one knows what exactly happened." ”
The Qu family has been secretly investigating Liang Yier's case for generations, they also have connections in the court, and the family has been an official for generations, successively serving in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Dali Temple, Criminal Department, Nine Dragons Division, Hanlin History Museum, and even a Qu Tai Lao, who led a knife from the palace after his illness and entered the palace to be a eunuch...... But I couldn't find anything at all.
Qu Qianhu was talking, Liang Xin took half a step, his upper body straightened and knelt down seriously in front of him, but before he could speak, he was picked up by the other party like a chicken, and said with a smile: "Back then, the ancestors of your and my two families took care of each other, and now we, the descendants, can't do these vulgar rituals, to tell the truth, although the surname Qu has worked hard over the years, he has not done anything big." ”
Qu Qianhu put Liang Xin beside him: "My name is Qu Qingshi, and you and I will be brothers in the future!" Then he hesitated, and then smiled at Liu Yi: "When you only have your own people, you don't want to be long and short." ”
Liang Xin and Liu Yi glanced at each other, their expressions overjoyed.
"Also, there's one more thing I want to make clear to you. Qu Qingshi seemed to regret it a little again, and without waiting for the two brothers to shout 'Brother Qingshi', he diverted the topic: "Over the years, my family has been investigating cases for generations, but they haven't protected Lord Liang's descendants much, do you know why?"
Liang Xin sighed gloomily: "Because it's useless to pay attention, the Liang family's crime is too great, and now it is the best result to be an ordinary criminal household." There is no other way for us to get away with the crime except to overturn the case, and if you take too much care of my family, it will attract the attention of the imperial court, and at that time, it will not only be difficult to protect yourself, but also implicate my family. ”
Liu Yi on the side nodded and smiled: "The descendants of Commander Liang's envoys are always a little smart!"
Qu Qingshi also laughed loudly: "Yes, but I didn't pay too much attention, it's not that I don't pay attention to it, my family left a descendant in Changping City as early as three hundred years ago, although the big things are not good, and there is always some care in the small things, in the past three hundred years, when you find a sin family girl to marry the descendants of the Liang family, you will choose to give birth to a good child, and the children and grandchildren will be blessed, and finally keep the bloodline inheritance of the Liang family......"
Liang Xin blinked, a little unsure of what to say.
"Of course, those things are not my business, and I don't know much about them. Qu Qingshi added: "I didn't know your identity at first, but when I saw Feng Xixi, I checked your household registration, and it was clear." ”
"Your Excellency...... Eldest brother...... It's still an adult, this matter is still strange!" Liu Yi pondered as he spoke: "Although the law of criminal households is harsh, it is only for those murder, robbery, banditry and other civil crimes, Lord Liang's identity, qualifications and power are obvious, if you want to cure his crimes, you should cut the grass and eradicate the roots, how can you still leave his bloodline?"
Qu Qingshi snorted: "Lord Liang has a high reputation among the government and the opposition, and he is the founding father, and the imperial court wants to leave a share of his bloodline, first, to show the magnanimity of heaven, and second, to appease people's hearts!"
There was silence in the mine for a while, and Qu Qingshi reached out and patted Liang Xin's shoulder: "It's too early for you to think about this, let's find a way to get out alive first!"
Before he finished speaking, the torches and oil lamps that had just been lit in the mine were all extinguished with a bang, and Liang Xin and Liu Yi stomped their feet in unison, and said at the same time: "Come again!"
The two of them were quite conscious, and jumped to the back of Qu Qingshi left and right without commanding.
