"You are wrong." Mr. Jiang glanced at Uncle Qi and waved his hand, "Qu Er's wife is not a poor and innocent girl. Maybe the entire Qingyuan uncle's house, except for the old lady, is not No one knows her origins."
"Then I don't know. No one has told me." Qi Bo looked at Mr. Jiang, "You know, just tell me."
"She is indeed a brothel girl, but she is not a simple brothel girl. She came from the Jiaofang Division."
"A descendant of an official family?" Seeing Mr. Jiang nod, Qi Bo thought for a moment, "Although there are many officials in the Jiaofang Division, there are also many boys and girls who were originally from Leji. How can you be sure that she is the one? After becoming an official?"
"Because her surname is Gu." Second Master Jiang looked at Qi Bo, then at Shen Haolin and Xue Ruitian, "Others may not know, but you two should know what the surname Gu means, right?"
"Based on age, if the surname is Gu, you can probably guess it."
Xue Ruitian counted on his fingers and glanced at Shen Haolin, who nodded towards him.
"Who is it?" Qi Bo looked confused. Looking at the other people, they were not much better than himself. "Can you not say half of it and leave half of it? Can you just say who it is?"
"I probably know." Zhen Buhui raised his hand, and when he saw everyone looking at him, he touched his nose sheepishly and said, "After the founding of Daxia, not many people from the whole family or clan were thrown into the Jiaofang Division. , and his surname is Gu, just that one! Speaking of which, it has something to do with my prince." He looked at Mr. Jiang, "Really? That's right, right?"
"Yes, it is indeed related to those two people." Second Master Jiang thought for a while, "But it doesn't mean they were convicted, so don't worry too much."
"What I know is that he once had some contact with our prince, and our prince helped him once." Zhen Buhui saw that Uncle Qi was about to throw something at him, and said quickly, "Hey, hey, I said, I said, Don't throw it away." He sighed softly and said, "If I guess correctly, Qu Er's wife should be a descendant of Gu Zeting, Duke of Haiguo. According to her age, she should be a granddaughter."
"He nodded to Mr. Jiang, "She should have been only a few months old when something happened to Duke Hai, and she followed the female members of the Gu family into the Jiaofang Division."
"Duke Hai?" Qi Bo thought for a moment, shook his head slightly, and said, "I didn't know there was such a person. After I went to the capital, no one mentioned this person. Since he is the Duke, he must have had great contributions from his ancestors. This dynasty, if you have the ability, how come you are convicted so easily?"
"It can only be said that it is your own fault." Shen Haolin sneered, "Gu Zeting is the third generation of the Duke of Haiguo. He has no special achievements, but because of the outstanding achievements of his ancestors, he can retain his so-called glory."
"Let's put it this way, the Shen family..." Zhen Buhui gestured in the direction of Shen Haolin, "it is because of the military exploits of these generations of descendants that he deserves the position of Duke. This is the whole The people of Daxia recognize him, but Duke Hai is different. He is just a false name and does not hold any official position in the court."
"But how did the idle nobles reach the point of confiscating their homes and exterminating their families?" Qi Bo still didn't quite understand, "If he could reach this point, if he hadn't betrayed the country and surrendered to the enemy, and if he hadn't had human lives on his hands, he shouldn't have done it, right?"... .
"What Gu Zeting committed is very simple, but it is also an unpunishable crime. Generally speaking, nobles of the Duke level have houses and farms on the outskirts of Xijing City and in their hometowns. How big will the farm be? It just depends on how many rewards you get, it’s all divided according to level.”
"I understand. Qi Bo snapped his fingers and said, "Enclosing land, right? Did he enclose land that shouldn't have been enclosed in order to evade taxes, and made the owner sue?"
"He nodded to Zhen Buhui, "This is the land enclosure case that caused a sensation many years ago. In addition to Duke Hai, there were more than a dozen nobles who were found to have illegally enclosured their land, and also involved lives. , there are dozens of them and dozens of them. But those nobles are not as serious as Duke Hai. In order to destroy the evidence, Duke Hai even ordered his evil servants to burn three villages and more than ten acres of good farmland. , causing a huge tragedy. Even if the local government wanted to cover it up, it couldn't. This shocking case involved hundreds of people. In the end, Haiguo
The palace was ransacked, and the mastermind and accomplices were beheaded. The other males over the age of ten were sent to the southwest, and those under the age of ten were sent to the Jiaofang Division along with their female relatives. "
"The person who was in charge of the trial at that time was Grandpa Bai, Xiao Baizi's grandfather." Xue Ruitian sighed softly, "Grandpa Bai was the minister of Dali Temple at that time, and he was ordered by the emperor to investigate and preside over this case. Because of this case, Bai Grandpa really encountered a lot of trouble back then. Duke Hai wanted to bribe Grandpa Bai at first, but Grandpa Bai didn't accept his tricks and didn't like to deal with him. When he heard him come to the door, he refused directly. After coming here three or two times, Duke Hai was very angry when he was rejected. He was so angry that he directly sent his own killer to kill Grandpa Bai. But Grandpa Bai was a soldier, and he was from my family, the Shen family, and the Xia family. They were all on good terms, and everyone in the family had guessed that something like this might happen, so they sent their family guards to protect Grandpa Bai. The most frequent assassinations against Grandpa Bai were more than a dozen times a day, and there were even They succeeded several times, but fortunately the guards around him responded in time, and Grandpa Bai only suffered minor injuries, nothing serious."
"Hai Guo Gong is so arrogant?" Qi Bo frowned slightly, "You don't have any achievements, but you still ignore the law so much?"
"Because he is the Duke of the State and is above us in rank, he will not take us seriously." Shen Cha sighed softly, "At that time, the Shen family was not the Duke of the State, and the Xia family and the Xue family were still If you are not a royal relative, how could Gu Zeting take such small fish and shrimps like us into consideration, right? If you can buy it, just buy it, and if you can't buy it, just get rid of it, there's no need to bother at all."
"It's a pity that he hit the iron plate, isn't it?"
"He nodded to Xue Ruitian, "Later, Grandpa Bai asked His Highness the Eagle King to borrow some masters and captured all the assassins who came to assassinate them. They also captured a few assassins who came to assassinate them before, but they were all poisoned and could not be found at all. We found evidence related to Duke Hai. But His Highness the Eagle King’s people are proficient in this. They took action and left a living person alive, directly confirming Duke Hai’s crime.”
"Understood, Uncle Qi nodded, "So, the old lady recognized that Qu Er's wife is actually a descendant of the Gu family, so she is still a little wary of her, right?"...
"It's not necessary to be vigilant, but it's always right to be wary."
"But why did she give Mrs. Qu Er such a violent decoction?" Qi Bo looked at Shen Cha and asked, "Did you understand it when you were watching the excitement?"
"Hmm..." Shen Cha thought for a while, "It has been so long that I don't remember what happened. I only remember that the old lady was very indifferent when facing Qu Er's accusation. She sat in the hall openly, her back She was very upright, with a look of being overwhelmed but her expression remained unchanged, which was in huge contrast to Mr. Qu Er's behavior of jumping up and down and shouting at the top of his lungs. At that time, I felt that this old lady's concentration and xinxing were really strong. ." "He nodded to Shen Haolin and looked at Uncle Qi, "At that time, the old lady won a lot of favor, and everyone onlookers felt that there must be a hidden secret. Later, the old lady submitted some evidence, and the Jingzhao Prefecture Yin sentenced her on the spot. The old lady was found not guilty. Although we did not know the reasons for such a sentence at the time, it was later reviewed by the Ministry of Punishment and the original verdict was upheld, without saying that the Jingzhao Prefecture’s sentence was wrong.”
"It seems like that." Shen Cha nodded and looked at Mr. Jiang, "If the old lady submitted evidence of Mrs. Qu Er's identity, does that mean that no matter what the old lady does to Mrs. Qu Er, she is innocent?"
"Yes." Second Master Jiang thought for a while, sighed, and said, "The crimes committed by the Gu family were too big at the beginning, so the punishment for them was also very severe. Even if men have made military exploits, they cannot be promoted. , As for women and underage boys, they will never be able to leave their citizenship, and neither will their descendants. If there are people who have left their citizenship, the Jiaofang Secretary will be held accountable." After speaking, he spread his hands and said, "After this case, the Jiaofang Secretary He must have been implicated a lot, and even if Qu Er feels deeply wronged, he can only swallow it."
"I seem to have heard..." Xue Ruitian thought for a while, "Xiao Jue told me that Uncle Qingyuan separated from his younger brother and kicked his younger brother out directly, leaving him to fend for himself."
"I don't remember." Shen Cha shook her head gently, "But that was the first time I knew that drinking Bizi Soup would kill a good person." She looked at Mr. Jiang, "So , the mother of Master Falian, Queen Kangshun, could actually give birth to him, which is also an anecdote."
"That's true." Mr. Jiang smiled, "I said before that because Emperor Yongjia and Queen Kangshun didn't listen to the clan and the powerful families, they were very dissatisfied, so they wanted to teach them a lesson. They let them know that puppets cannot have their own ideas. Therefore, the powerful family bribed Qin Tianjian, saying that Queen Kangshun was a kind and compassionate person, a person who was pitied by God, and that God would send Lin'er to let her He fulfilled his filial piety in front of Queen Kangshun. I can’t remember the details, but that’s pretty much what it meant.
"Will Emperor Yongjia and Queen Kangshun listen to Qin Tianjian?"
"Of course." Mr. Jiang nodded, "Because they believe this."
"Isn't this the same method used by the Qinglian Sect to confuse the people?" Shen Cha frowned slightly, "Isn't this more proof that Master Falian really might be the mastermind behind the Qinglian Sect?"
"That's right." Jin Miaomiao and Jin Jing nodded, "If that's what you said, then it would be more justified and more reasonable to change the name...
"There is some truth in what you said." Jiang Erye smiled and continued, "After listening to Qin Tianjian's words, Emperor Yongjia and Queen Kangshun began to regulate their bodies, and those medicines to avoid children have been Now, I started to follow the instructions of the Tai Hospital to condition my body and prepare myself for Lin'er. After about a year and a half of conditioning, the Qin Tian Supervisor calculated the auspicious date and arranged the bridal chamber for the two of them."
"And then there is Master Fa Lian?"
"Of course it's not that easy." Second Master Jiang looked at Zhen Bugui and couldn't laugh or cry. "According to Emperor Yongjia, it took about a year for Queen Kangshun to be found to be pregnant. That was simply great news. .Although Emperor Yongjia never wanted Queen Kangshun to suffer the pain of giving birth to a child, the two of them were still very happy after knowing that they had a child that belonged to them."
"Can't understand."
Shen Haolin, Shen Cha and Xue Ruitian said in unison. After speaking, they looked at each other and smiled in unison.
"You are still young, so it is normal that you don't understand." Second Master Jiang and Qi Bo exchanged a look, "In the next year, Emperor Yongjia and Queen Kangshun were busy working on this child, because Queen Kangshun was really young. She was not very young. The whole pregnancy process was very hard. She couldn't eat, couldn't sleep, and her whole body was oppressed and couldn't breathe. She had all these uncomfortable symptoms. Emperor Yongjia looked at her and was worried, and also advised her If she really doesn’t believe it, then she won’t have this child anymore, there’s no need to work so hard.”
"But Queen Kangshun doesn't agree with his statement, does she?"
"Yes, what Queen Kangshun means is that she cannot abandon what God has given her. No matter how difficult it is, she must give birth to the child smoothly, even if she pays a heavy price."
"I don't understand
The ones who said these three words this time were not Shen Haolin, Shen Cha and Xue Ruitian, but Jin Miaomiao, Mei Lin and Zhen Buhui. Although Jin Jing did not speak, she had a very disapproving expression on her face.
"Although I don't quite agree with this, Queen Kangshun did think so. She risked her own life and gave birth to this child smoothly."
"This child is Master Fa Lian, right?"
"That's right." Mr. Jiang took a sip of tea and moistened his throat and said, "This child has grown up to one year old smoothly. During this year, the clan and the aristocratic family began to exaggerate the child's extraordinary origins and bones. Qingqi is a prodigy who saves the world. Whatever sounds nice and sounds special makes people admire them, they will preach it. It’s useless for them to just preach, so they encouraged Emperor Yongjia and Empress Kangshun to take the little prince to Xiangguo Temple to pray for blessings. , listening to the teachings of the host, I wonder if the big monk’s kind-heartedness is very popular with children. The little prince hugs the big monk and won’t let go. This gives the clan and clan an excuse to start spreading the news among the people. The little prince has Buddhist roots and connections, and the great monks at Xiangguo Temple like him very much."
"This is to pave the way for the future, isn't it?"
"Yes, for the little prince's capture ceremony, they deliberately selected several personal belongings of the master of Xiangguo Temple. Children have a very sensitive sense of smell. When they smell a familiar smell, he will feel safe and will definitely capture him. He held on to it. As a result, the little emperor became convinced
The son has a connection with Buddhism and is a mantle inheritance approved by the master of Xiangguo Temple. "39314837.
