Chapter 322 Mutation(1/2)
Author: I just love chewing pig trotters
Liang Xia started to quibble when faced with Xue Yi and Xue Dao, but when he heard that Ling Buyi wanted to punish him, he immediately admitted honestly.
This kid was also a coward, and kept crying and begging for mercy. Yuan Shan happened to come over to check on the situation, and he didn't care that he was an elder. He knelt there and hugged Yuan Shanjian's legs without letting go.
"Shan Jian, please help me. I don't want to die.
It was my eldest brother who forced me. You know that I did all this for the Liang family.
The eldest brother has little talent and little knowledge, and is obsessed with gold, stone, and jade all day long. If our Liang family had been in his hands, we would soon be in ruins. I am doing this for the sake of the overall situation of our Liang family.
Shanjian, Shanjian, please beg Prince Jing and General Ling to let me go.
From now on, our Liang family will treat His Majesty..." Then he probably thought that these people are all the prince's people, so he immediately added,
"In the future, I will be loyal to His Highness the Crown Prince and will never have any second thoughts!"
Yuan Shanjian immediately felt embarrassed when he saw Uncle Cheap's virtue and said expressionlessly:
"Uncle, you probably don't know yet,
Just now, my mother has joined forces with the elders of the Liang family to expel you, mother and son.
So you, old man, will not be able to represent the Liang family in the future!"
When Jing Haoying and others heard this, they all praised Mrs. Yuan's decisiveness. In this way, the Liang family was basically removed. There were some dirty things before, which can only be said to be a little embarrassing in terms of face, but it will not hurt the bones.
Because the Liang family also has Liang Wuji, a state pastor, and the Yuan family among the in-laws is also a state pastor, no one dares to look down upon him.
You can tell the whole story at a glance. Just by looking at the Liang family and the Yuan family, you can see how powerful the aristocratic families are. There are only nine states in the country, and these two families are in charge of them. It is not that the emperor is unwilling to send his own.
The key to the confidants serving as state shepherds is that they can't do anything when they get there. Only aristocratic families can control the power of local clans.
Back to business,
When Liang Xia heard that he had been expelled from the clan, he was suddenly startled, and then he couldn't believe it and shouted at the top of his lungs:
"Impossible, I am the legitimate son of the Liang family. Now that the head of the family is dead, I am the only heir of the Liang family. You dare to go out and exterminate the family. You are treasonous. I won't accept it, I won't accept it..."
Ling Buyi is a cruel kid. What bothers him the most is that he is still shouting when he is about to die. He directly gives Liang Qiu behind him a bad look.
Liang Qiuqi also had a tacit understanding with Ling Buyi. He nodded, walked up to Liang Xia, and slapped Liang Xia hard on the back with the back of his knife, knocking Liang Xia to the ground in one fell swoop.
not coming,
Ling Buyi saw Liang Xia calm down, stepped forward and said:
"Liang Xia, are you awake? Now I ask, you answer!"
Tell me, who instigated you to kill your brother and frame the prince!"
Liang Xia was beaten hard that time. This kid had always been pampered, but just this time, he was beaten to the point of tears streaming down his face, and he was trembling with fear.
But this kid wasn't completely stupid. With that person's power, he wouldn't be able to survive if he was attacked. He just cried and shook his head, and begged Yuan Shanjian for mercy.
"Shan Jian, no matter what, I am your uncle after all. You just want to watch others torture me!"
Although Yuan Shanjian looked down on Liang Xia, he had some kind of relationship with him. Besides, the person who framed the prince must have extraordinary power and was not suitable for questioning in public, so he said to Jing Haoying and Ling Buyi:
"Prince Jing, General Ling,
Now that the murderer has been caught, I think it would be better for Shanjian and Brother Lou to be brought back to Tingwei Mansion for interrogation. After all, there are many people here talking..."
Jing Haoying and Ling Buyi understood what Yuan Shanjian meant and nodded. Jing Haoying thought for a moment and decided that it would be better to leave the work to Ling Buyi. That boy was better at interrogating.
Besides, even if Liang Xia comes out to be the Marquis of Yue, as long as Concubine Yue and the third prince are there, the Marquis of Yue will not lose his life, and he will not be injured. He will be silent for at most two years, and then he can start from the beginning again. This world
Sometimes the status of privileged support is still very stable, and I think that it is of no use anyway.
Fortunately, Ling Buyi said:
"Otherwise, Zi Sheng, you go to Tingwei's Mansion with Brother Lou and others to help them interrogate Liang Xia. As for me, I will go back to the palace and report to my uncle and the others first. They are guessing now
This is too urgent, what do you think?"
Ling Buyi heard what Zhenghe meant. In fact, almost everyone knew who could frame the prince. Apart from Yuehou, there were basically no other candidates. He recently found out that Yuehou was related to the Gucheng case.
, so he nodded to express his agreement.
Then they parted ways. Naturally, Jing Haoying and Cheng Shaoshang went to the palace to report. On the carriage, Cheng Shaoshang enthusiastically said some stupid and ignorant things about the Liang family mother and son. Suddenly his face darkened and he sighed and said:
"Actually, the most pitiful person is Sister Lingjun.
Not to mention that the person I married has been tortured for more than ten years. Even though I have been able to get rid of my grievances now, I am afraid that my reputation will be damaged!" Then he said with great expectation:
"I really hope she can marry the prince in the future, and the two of them can live a harmonious and beautiful life. This can be regarded as lovers finally getting married!"
Then he suddenly saw Jing Haoying's indifferent attitude. Thinking of what he said before that the two of them may not be together, he said:
"I don't think I agree with what you mean. When you were in Changqiu Palace, I thought you didn't think much of the Crown Prince and Qu Lingjun. Tell me, now that the Crown Princess has revealed her true face, I think she will be disappointed.
It’s cold,
Didn't Qu Lingjun and the prince just happen to get together? They have been in love since childhood!"
Jing Haoying saw that Cheng Shaoshang was not convinced, so he explained:
"It may be true that the two have been in love since childhood, but they may not still have that kind of friendship now.
Let’s not talk about me and my cousin has already treated her openly and there is no personal relationship. Let’s talk about Qu Lingjun.
She now knows that the prince has never cared about her for more than ten years. Every time, the prince gives gifts in the name of the prince. If it were you, would you still marry this person?
And Qu Lingjun has two children. If she marries the prince, what will happen to the two children?
If I follow Qu Lingjun into the East Palace, regardless of whether the Liang family is willing or not, the royal family will not agree.
As for the children staying in the Liang family and Qu Lingjun entering the palace herself, do you believe she can agree to having silently endured Liang Shang for so many years for the two children and now asking her to abandon the children?"
After hearing this, Cheng Shaoshang felt that it was inappropriate. Although he agreed in his heart, he refused to admit defeat and said on his face:
"Then what do you think Sister Lingjun should do? It would be hard to live in the Liang family as a widow for the rest of her life!"
Jing Haoying thought of the original work where Qu Lingjun and Liang Wuji came together. Although Liang Wuji was only forty years old, he was indeed an elegant gentleman and a stalwart man.
If Qu Lingjun marries Liang Wuji, his life will be much better than in the past. Moreover, with Liang Wuji around, he can also ensure that his children will inherit the Liang family in the future. It is indeed the best of both worlds.
Jing Haoying also had a guess in his mind, that Liang Shang had neither talent nor virtue, was narrow-minded, and was always beating or scolding Qu Lingjun. Naturally, Qu Lingjun had no feelings for him, and was only bound by etiquette and law.
But Liang Wuji is different. He is both talented and beautiful, Yuan Ting Yue Zhi has a refined style, and he definitely takes care of Qu Lingjun on weekdays. Maybe the two of them have a friendship for a long time, but neither of them expressed it.
, now it just so happens that the temperament and temperament of the two of them are compatible, so they are quite good together. Anyway, Jing Haoying is quite optimistic about it.
However, it is not appropriate to talk about this matter for the time being, so as not to cause any trouble then, just pretend to be mysterious and smile:
"Staying in the Liang family is a sure thing. After all, she can't let go of her children, but being a widow is not a sure thing!"
Cheng Shaoshang quickly asked. She didn't know the Liang family very well, and she didn't know that Liang Wuji was a widower, so she couldn't figure it out.
Seeing that Jing Haoying didn't say anything, he quickly acted coquettishly, and the two of them fought and fussed all the way into the palace, but Jing Haoying didn't say anything about what was going on.
When we arrived at the palace, the emperor, Empress Xuan, the prince and others were all at Changqiu Palace.
Jing Haoying and Cheng Shaoshang talked about what happened together, and finally Jing Haoying said:
"Qu Lingjun's suspicion has been completely cleared.
As for Liang Xia, he has been taken to Tingwei Mansion by Zi Sheng and the others for the time being, and it is necessary to dig out the mastermind behind the scenes and give an explanation to the East Palace!"
When the prince heard that Qu Lingjun was fine, he felt much relieved. After all, he felt guilty towards Qu Lingjun.
After hearing the announcement, he looked happy,
"Thank you for your hard work!"
Emperor Wen's expression was a bit strange, he was not that happy. He probably figured out the person behind the scenes now, so he coughed dryly and said:
"Okay, you did a good job in solving this case so quickly. I didn't misjudge you! I will reward you later.
Zixiu, you two must be tired from investigating the case for so long, so go down and take a rest!"
Jing Haoying naturally knew that Uncle Cheap didn't want to get involved in what was going to happen next. Jing Haoying also meant the same thing. He didn't intend to get involved in anything that wouldn't be of any benefit. Anyway, the prince had nothing to do now. He pulled the confused Cheng
The young merchant bowed and resigned.
As soon as he came out, Cheng Shaoshang asked:
"Why is His Majesty's attitude so different now from before? He doesn't seem to want to pursue the matter?"
Jing Haoying nodded, without answering directly, and said:
"Yes, being an emperor is not easy. He has to make some compromises on some things! Okay, let's not talk anymore. Let's go home. This palace is really not as comfortable as our home!"
When Cheng Shaoshang saw this, he didn't ask any more questions.
As soon as the two of them left the palace, a servant from Prince Ruyang's Mansion was waiting, saying that the old prince wanted to see Jing Haoying for something.
Jing Haoying smiled at Cheng Shaoshang and said:
"It's probably because my grandfather is anxious again. This old man is really impatient. Why don't you go to Sancai Temple?"
Cheng Shaoshang shook his head when he heard this. She hadn't been to her parents' house in the past two days, and there was no news. She had nothing to say if she did. She might as well go home and rest, and leave the handling to Jing Haoying.
Jing Haoying nodded when he saw this,
