Chapter 713: Jiashen Incident
Huang Lao smiled and said: "Brother Bi, we meet again."
Bi Yuntao smiled and said: "Old Huang."
Mr. Huang stopped him with a hiss and said, "This is not a place for conversation. Brother Bi, please come with me."
Bi Yuntao followed Mr. Huang and walked over, but the two of them boarded a nearby restaurant and sat near the window, where they could see the White Lotus believers.
Bi Yuntao smiled and said: "Mr. Huang, I didn't expect to meet you in this alley. It's really unexpected."
Huang Lao said hehe: "I didn't expect to see each other again today after we said goodbye yesterday. To be honest, little brother, I am also a restless person. When I was young, I liked to travel around the world and learn about strange and weird things. They all had some hobbies. It was only later that when I entered the court, there were many official matters in the temple, and I couldn't get away from them, so I gradually delayed them. This time I had the opportunity to come to Hangzhou again, and I stole half a day's leisure and went out for a walk, but I didn’t expect to encounter something like this.”
After sighing, Mr. Huang immediately remembered something and said, "Brother Bi, I wonder why you are here?"
Bi Yuntao said with a smile: "Oh, Sister Xue went to the shop today to be busy. I must have heard about my personality. How do I know about business matters? It was really boring to be alone, so I went out for a walk."
Hearing this, Mr. Huang sighed and sighed: "Hey, it's really a disaster for the Xue family. They were obviously loyal and good, but now their blood has withered, leaving only two orphans and a widowed mother. They are suffering. support."
After Zhongliang? Damn it, this trip to Hangzhou was unexpectedly rewarding. Bi Yuntao secretly thought, judging from Huang Lao's posture, he must know a lot of secrets, and he happened to have nothing to do now, so he took the opportunity to inquire about him.
After making up his mind, he rolled his eyes and said: "Mr. Huang, please forgive me for being ignorant. I have never heard of the Xue family's deeds in the court. When I heard what Mr. Huang said today, could it be that the ancestors of the Xue family were once or Isn’t he a high official in the court?”
"You don't know?" Huang Lao was stunned, then he realized it and said with a smile: "You can be forgiven for not knowing. Calculate the time, you and Bi Yunpeng should have been born at that time."
"Then I wonder if Mr. Huang can tell me something?" Bi Yuntao poured a cup of tea for Mr. Huang and said with a smile: "Of course, if there are any secrets that are inconvenient to be disclosed, then Mr. Huang will leave it at that."
Huang Laodao: "Hey. Whether it's secret or not, it's all a matter of sesame seeds and rotten millet. It's just that I don't know much about the details. Back then, I was marginalized by the court and was on the edge of the court. I only learned from the left prime minister. I heard some scraps from the old boy’s mouth.”
"Can Mr. Huang tell me what you know?" Bi Yuntao asked tentatively.
Mr. Huang groaned slightly and couldn't bear to see Bi Yuntao's sincere eyes, so he said, "Brother Bi, before you showed up at the Xue family, do you know why the Xue family's business has plummeted?"
"This... I don't know, I heard from the Jinling He family that they seemed to have offended some people who should not be offended, and were secretly targeted. I don't know if it is true or not." Bi Yuntao said truthfully.
"Yes. What the Jinling He family said is indeed true." Huang Lao nodded and said, "It's just Brother Bi, have you ever thought about why the Xue family offended those people?"
Bi Yuntao shook his head. He really hadn't thought about this. His mind was filled with the pretty widow and Xue Ruyue. He didn't know anything about the Xue family's background. He only knew a few things from Jing Fuwang's mouth.
"The situation here is very complicated, and the old boy Zuo Xiang didn't say much to me." Mr. Huang shook his head, and then said seriously to Bi Yuntao: "Brother Bi, have you ever heard of the Jiashen Incident?"
Jiashen Change? Bi Yuntao was confused. Why was there something about Li Zicheng in this? You must not say that there is Chen Yuanyuan here. Bah, bah, bah, what are you thinking about? How can a noble person like the pretty widow compare her to a prostitute. Doesn't this trample on her dignity?
"I've heard a little bit." Bi Yuntao nodded. Where did he know about the Jiashen Changes, but that's all he said, so he might as well pretend to be fat and listen to what Mr. Huang said first, and then understand what the Jiashen Changes were like in this world. It's never too late.
Mr. Huang sighed: "Although this Jiashen Incident is a coup caused by the late emperor, it is indeed disgraceful. After the late emperor ascended the throne, he ordered people to cleanse the remnants of the Jiashen Incident. And the Xue family By coincidence, our ancestors were related to one of the remnants. What I said, Brother Bi, now you understand why the Xue family's business has plummeted, right?"
Then Huang Lao looked at him with a smile and said, "Of course, these are just what I heard from the mouth of the left prime minister. I can't count them. Brother Bi, just listen to them and don't take it to heart."
This old boy is really impeccable in his speech. Bi Yuntao cursed, he was not a fool, and it was not like he couldn't tell whether this was speculation or not.
However, this news is really shocking. I didn't expect the Xue family to have such a secret. In this way, the Xue family is somewhat related to the rebellion of the previous dynasty.
Hey, that's not right. Just now Mr. Huang himself said that after Zhongliang, since the Xue family is related to the previous dynasty, why do they say it is after Zhongliang? Countless doubts arose in Bi Yuntao's heart, and his mind couldn't help but come alive secretly.
I don’t know if talking about the past aroused Mr. Huang’s thoughts, or if he was moved by the scene, or if it had some other purpose. In short, Mr. Huang looked into the distance and was silent for a long time.
"Hey!" After a long time, Mr. Huang sighed and said, "How have Miss Xu been in these years? We were separated from each other in the capital in the past, and now we have not seen each other for more than 20 years. Time flies, and the years fly by. It's really a good time. This is an old saying. Speaking of which, if I hadn't messed up the mandarin ducks back then, how could Miss Xu have ended up in the situation she is in now. She was a widow in a good way. "
Miss Xu? Bi Yuntao was stunned again. Damn, the amount of information today is a bit heavy, and my CPU is a bit overloaded.
Then he thought carefully about what Huang Lao said, and he understood that he was talking about Mrs. Xue, and Mrs. Xue's surname was Xu. He has always called Mrs. Xue like a pretty widow, but he has never asked Mrs. Xue for her last name.
Thinking of this, Bi Yuntao couldn't help but do some self-reflection on himself. After coming to Xue's house for so long, I don't know anything about the pretty widow. Why do I still want to bring the pretty widow into the house? It's simply wishful thinking.
Bi Yuntao secretly kept these in his mind, dealt with the immediate matters first, and then went back to Jinling to understand it in detail.
However, Bi Yuntao still had a headache over these connections. For Mrs. Xue to be able to establish friendship with the Empress, she was not a simple figure in the capital in the past. Even with such a relationship, it has not been able to improve the Xue family. It seems that the impact of the Jiashen Incident is so great and so wide-ranging that it is really unimaginable.
