"I once heard that the ancestor of the Qin family was a painter who was good at danqing, especially landscapes, flowers and birds. Therefore, the men of the Qin family in the past were famous for birds and beasts, while women used flowers and trees."
The desolate mountain road, the rain fell like weeping, Ye Fusheng did not know where he folded a field of taro leaves and covered his head, as if holding a green umbrella, talking to Chu Xiwei’s back in front of him: Qin Jingyu and his son Qin Hebai, who died in northern Xinjiang, and Qin Liurong, the sister of Beixia who was once known as the best beauty in martial arts."
Thirty-four years ago, Qin Hebai was guilty of conspiracy crimes, and 136 heads fell to the ground. They are still buried in the unnamed barren hills outside the Tianjing City, and I am afraid they would have long been rotten to the ground.
The time has passed. Maybe some people talk about this bleak past after dinner, but no one knows... When they were executed, were the 136 people really the Qin family?
Chu Xiwei's footsteps paused, Ye Fusheng walked two steps quickly, worthy of being shoulder to shoulder with him, and saw the face under the hood slightly turned sideways, his tone was light: "What do you mean?"
"Ayao, although you don't like it, I have been a spy for ten years after all. Although I don't know much about the affairs of the rivers and lakes than Chaotang, I have heard of it." Ye Fusheng smiled." The head of the Hundred Ghost Gate married a disfigured woman as his wife. This is not so secretive."
In the intelligence records, it is shown that the old master of the Hundred Ghosts Gate is unprovoked, he is so beautiful and wine, he was still a wanton indulgence more than 30 years ago. I don't know how many family girls and heroines in the arena have a heart for him. An Xu, but such an veteran love scene who has been in the bushes of thousands of flowers and has no leaves, finally chose an ugly woman with a ruined appearance.
The woman's surname is Qin, her face is mottled with a few scars, and the knot is like a centipede crawling on her face. It is ugly and terrible, not to mention that she is still dumb and can't speak at all. Shen Wu Duan married such a woman. Many people regretted him and couldn't help but watch his jokes. He was the only one who was overjoyed, as if he had gotten a great deal of money, and he had been fulfilled all his life.
In the imperial court, there are many possibilities, and the Shadow Guard will naturally not spend his mind on gossip about the rivers and lakes, but for Ye Fusheng, this matter is not ordinary.
Jianghu people only know that the woman's surname is Qin, but few people know her name is Qin Liurong.
Beijing’s sister Qin Liurong, whose marksmanship has won his father’s and brother’s seven points of truth, can be described as a heroine who walked alone in the rivers and lakes when she was young. She locked a dragon spear in one hand and did not fall into her family's name. The beauty like a flower is even more stunning. "The first beauty in martial arts."
However, after all, she is a daughter's home, and she is also a born dumb. She cannot go to the court and has to return home after one year in the rivers and lakes. Since then, she has been wronged in the corner of the courtyard, but unfortunately, disaster still falls from heaven.
In the case of Qin Gong, Qin's family was sentenced to death, and she was no exception.
In just seven days before the execution, someone secretly sent Qin Liurong out of Tianjing, and found a female condemned prisoner to administer dumb medicine instead, and splattered the long street with the rest of the Qin family on the execution day.
It is beyond the reach of ordinary people to be able to do such a thing of shifting flowers and trees under the eyes of the emperor. Looking at the temples and lakes, there are no more than one palm, and the treacherous hundred ghosts... just one of them.
Chu Xiwei's voice was cold: "Why, the commander wants to punish me for the crime of hiding Qin from a hundred ghosts?"
"Ayao, don't rush to get angry first, I was wronged." Ye Fusheng spread his hands innocently and moved the taro leaves a bit, "First of all, I am no longer the Shadow Guardian; second, this one. There is still an article on the matter, so please listen to me first."
Chu Xiwei has only been in the Hundred Ghosts for ten years. Although he understands these old things back then, he can't make sense after all. It’s just that his character protects his shortcomings. Shen Wuyou gave him ten years of kindness and righteousness. Chu Xiwei worshipped him as a foster father without being alienated. Therefore, even if he knew the identity of the foster mother, he just used means to cover up with the foster father and let that The ill-fated woman has lived peacefully for these years, but it's a pity that her body was destroyed in the prison that year, and she passed away at the end of Chongyang last year when she reached fifty lives.
He suffered major changes when he was a teenager, and he was even more anxious after entering the door of a hundred ghosts. If this disgusting and kind-faced wife of the door master took more care, Shen Wuyou might not treat himself differently. Chu Xiwei remembered all these things one by one, but it was a pity that he couldn't repay it.
As soon as he thought of this, Chu Xiwei's voice sank: "Let's say it."
"The emperor’s feet is the place where the Forbidden Army is, let alone the death row that is of great importance? I have tried it myself, not to mention that a fly can’t fly. It’s not easy for a big living person to figure it out. It's just harder." Ye Fusheng raised his eyebrows, "The foundation of the Hundred Ghost Sect is in the Middu Cavern Valley. If you want to avoid all the hurdles and go to Tianjing, and then steal the beam from the death jail to save the individual, what do you think is the chance of winning? Besides, the Lord Shen did not have much friendship with the Qin family, why did he take this risk?"
Hearing this, Chu Xi squinted his eyes slightly. He thought about these things too. However, too long time has passed and there are already rare clues. Neither Shen Wu Duan nor Madam Qin can say anything, so he naturally put it aside. Hearing this at the first moment, it evoked the original doubts, and her thoughts turned: "Although Mrs. Qin spent the rest of her life in the Hundred Ghost Gate, but someone else saved her from Tianjing."
Ye Fusheng raised two fingers: "There are two people who dare to deceive the king, one of them is my master Gu Zheng, who has never met."
Chu Xi frowned slightly, then slowly let go.
Thirty-four years ago, the case of Qin Gong was famous. In order to prevent someone from robbing the prison, the first emperor ordered the death cell to be arranged as a net of heaven and earth, and the main guard was the shadow guard who had not been abolished at that time.
If Gu Zheng, who was the leader of the Shadow Guard at that time, wanted to save people, although it was difficult, the odds of winning were much more than outsiders.
"I was puzzled when I heard you talk about Gu Zheng's death before." Chu Xi blinked, "The commander of the dignified shadow, even if he is no longer pleased by the first emperor, he will not be punished for being pleaded. Punishment."
"Yes, my ancestor is more courageous than me." Ye Fusheng's mouth twitched, but he couldn't tell that it was a smile. His peach eyes reflected the rain and mist, making it more clear. "After he could not plead, he simply resisted. The purpose was against the emperor, and he originally planned to release Qin Hebai. Unfortunately, Bei Xia's mind was as stubborn as a stone. He would rather die than leave, but begged him to release his sister... So my master agreed, stealing the beam and changing the post to get the person out. To death, I will send a confidant to send out Tianjing, but I don’t know what happened later, and let your old sect master take the people home."
Because of this, the first emperor was furious, and he had been dissatisfied with Liyingwei Ben for a long time, and now he could not bear it. He angered Gu Zheng as a gang thief, abolished Liying Shadowguard, and executed Gu Zhengling to death, only to relieve his anger.
Chu Xiwei finally understood.
The fog that had been in my heart since Jinshui Town finally melted down at this moment. He and Ye Fusheng are now entangled in grievances, but the bloodline clan owes Jinghong a line. I don’t know how much, it’s a bad debt. .
Suppressing the chaotic mood, Chu Xiwei paused and asked: "The emperor will not be involved in death row, and will not attach importance to a female generation. With Gu Zheng's careful mind, how can he be detected?"
"This is about the second person who deceived the monarch, but before talking about him, let me mention another person who has something to do with this matter." Ye Fusheng said slowly, "Lord Nanru, Ruan Qingxing."
At the beginning, Ruan Feiyu was able to pull Qin Hebai off the horse, and the biggest reliance on him was his powerful and famous master.
Ruan Qingxing started in the previous dynasty, was appreciated by the great ancestors, and was reused by the ancestors at times. The ups and downs of his life are by no means comparable to Ruan Feiyu, not to mention that he was just a young man back then. fine.
"Ruan Qingxing and Qin Jingyu made good friends. After Qin Jingyu died in the battle, he once regarded Qin Hebai as his own. The latter could be an extremely human minister, and he had to deal with the court...Ah Yao, you said that the two people who were so close to each other, why not only estranged, but also have **** with each other?"
Chu Xi sneered slightly: "The estrangement is precisely because they are too close, and it is only because of profit."
Although there has been a good talk of "general harmony" since ancient times, for an emperor who is suspicious and lacks means, the closer the relationship between civil servants and generals is, the easier it is for him to fall behind.
Qin He is fine when the white people speak lightly. When he is in high position, Ruan Qingxing must be alienated from him, otherwise he will be suspected of forming a party for personal gain.
Maybe it was to avoid suspicion at the beginning, but over time, it is easy to create suspicions and become real. Especially when Qin Hebai's class teacher returned to the dynasty and became the head of the military commander, the civil and military forces began to compare. He and Ruan Qingxing also became hostile in contradictions.
Since ancient times, officialdom has been like a battlefield. Once the two concepts are opposed to each other, it is necessary to decide the winner.
"At that time, Ruan Qingxing was old and weak, and the arrogance of the civil servants was getting sluggish. Qin Hebai was a mature man, with a reputation as high as the sky, and seemed to have the upper hand." Ye Fusheng swirled the lower petiole, the leaf surface The raindrops flew out, and Chu Xiwei was caught off guard, and she rolled her eyebrows to look at him.
He was splashed with water, his expression was naturally stinky, and his speech was even colder: "However, in this way, the first emperor's jealousy changed from the two of them to him."
Showing weaker than others will lead to disasters. Ruan Qingxing grasped the emperor's mind, and took a step back when the undercurrent was surging, but Qin Hebai didn't know how to hide, so he naturally stood on the cusp of the storm.
"Qin Hebai is in charge of military power, and he is very famous in Jianghu courts, especially in the East China Sea and northern borders. The people only know that Qin Gong does not know the emperor... A Yao, you should understand this better than I do. Meaning."
Chu Xiwei hooked her lips: "The power is high, and life hangs by a thread."
"I always thought that there is no truth in the world that cannot be found, unless it is the person who does not want to know the truth."
More than 30 years ago, the Qin Gong case was very involved, and no matter how much it was wronged, the consequences shocked the world. It almost wiped out the court at that time, and the forces attached to the Qin family were uprooted. The military commander's power is even more earth-shaking. Until now, he has not recovered his vitality, and Ren Wenchen pressed his head on his head.
Not to mention Ruan Feiyu, who was fledgling at the beginning of the year, even Ruan Qingxing did not have such a big hand.
Chu Xiwei frowned: "You mean the initiator of the Qin Gong case, not the two generations of Southern Confucian scholars, but..."
Ye Fusheng smiled without saying a word, pointing a finger to the sky, but his eyes were full of helplessness and sighs.
