Chapter 52: Shattered

Yuan Luoqiang suppressed his strange expression and asked nervously, "Who is the real leaker, do you have a clue?"
"No, but there is an object of speculation." Gu Yi put aside his wine glass, "It is best to look for the cause of an event, and it is best to look at the result. Whoever benefits the most is likely to be a criminal."
"After the death of his father, the military and command power of Northern Xinjiang fell to General Zhong Lizhu, General Fenwei. He is the brother-in-law of Prime Minister Wei, and the two families have met for generations."
He suspected that Gu Liangyong's defeat was due to a family of influence. It is indeed reasonable to think about it. After the death of Emperor Xianning, the remaining Han Dang, headed by Gu Liangyong, jumped out from time to time. Killing Gu Liangyong, and then splitting up and suppressing it is simple. Since then, there are no more thorns.
"Liu Hanyin, the lieutenant by my father's side, also married a concubine from a powerful family to fill the house. At the beginning, he encouraged me to go into the palace and provided the route and contact person." After speaking, Gu Yi shook his head and smiled bitterly. .
Well, even the leaker who was inserted has an object. Yuan Luo touched his chin and instructed the only surviving orphan of the Gu family to pull out the imperial concubine. After killing someone with a knife, he would kill Gu Yi again, killing two birds with one stone, and never worrying about it. In this case, Gu Liangyong's death may really be the sins of the family.
Yuan Luo actually felt relieved for a while, probably because of the burden that had been pressing on her heart-the original owner's accusation of persecuting Gu Jia Zhongliang suddenly felt lighter.
Although the imperial concubine's guilt cannot be denied because of this, she finally saw a new glimmer of hope.
I thought of it again, no wonder Gu Yi was so anxious to help Zuo Bingfan to make great contributions in Northern Xinjiang. If Gu Jiajun can't stand up again this time, I'm afraid it will not escape the end of being dismembered-either become someone else's dogleg or become cannon fodder on the battlefield. At that time, Beijiang will really become a world controlled by the clique. The efforts of Gu Liangyong and Emperor Xianning over the past ten years have been put to waste.
As for Zuo Bingfan's behavior, that's another matter.
"Then what are you going to do in the future?"
"Inheriting the father's will is not only to expel the Tartars, Jingping Mountains and rivers. There is also the enemy who was defeated in the last battle. It is Bei Rong's and is also behind the scenes."
"For so many years, the family of clans have controlled the government, and it is difficult for the poor children and ordinary people to get ahead. At the border, they need to shed more blood in exchange for a simple sum of credit. My father has worked hard for so many years and hopes to change this. The situation. What he did not accomplish, I will continue to work hard."
Yuan Luo carefully savored this passage, using a serious and meticulous approach that he had never had before. This is not a household hatred, nor a fight in a battle, but an accusation of one class against another.
He could not understand even as a teenager, but his words are actually a driving force for social change.
She laughed, this trip is really right, it's worth it! The exhaustion and resentment that arose from the storm last night was wiped out. The young man before her showed her a new hope, as clear as the moonlight, shining through the mountains and rivers.
"Niangniang thinks, how about drinking this secret drink?" Gu Yi asked with a smile, turning his head.
Yuan Luo smiled, her eyes bright: "Very good."
The breeze blew, her sorrow seemed to follow the wind between Wuthering Mountains, and Gu Yi's eyes relaxed.
It was Cai Yunheng's turn.
"I don't have any secrets to tell, so let's tell a story." During the time when Gu Yi and Yuan Luo were talking, Cai Yunheng had been drinking in silence and drank most of a jar of wine.
There was mist floating in Jingliang's eyes, as if she was a little drunk.
"It's a past about ten years ago. At that time, I was still a child, and my mother probably didn't know, but I actually had an older sister.
Yuan Luo was surprised, remembering that Cai Yunheng was the only son in the original book.
Turning his head, he saw Gu Yi showing an unbelievable expression and whispered: "Yunheng, you..."
Cai Yunheng drank the wine in the cup and said with a smile: "The empress is not an outsider, but it's an old thing, there is nothing to say."
"I used to have an older sister who was eight years older than me. She is a gentle and considerate sister who can make delicious cakes. But this is only the impression. After all, it happened so many years ago."
"About the year when I was five years old, she went to Qingming Temple to pray for incense, but never came back. The family went up and down, and hundreds of people with relatives and friends went to the mountain to look for."
"The last thing I found was the body that fell off the cliff, with messy clothes and bloodstains. It was trampled to death by a man."
Yuan Luo couldn't help but whispered. Cai Yunheng was cold, both in tone and expression.
"Because of the heavy rain that day, there were not many people who went up the mountain. In fact, after a little investigation, the real murderer was found. It was the young master of the Lan Chundu family. The capital was notoriously ignorant and lustful. Trapped in the mountain. While taking shelter from the rain, I met my sister..."
"This matter was reported to the capital government, but it was only held up high."
"After all, the noble son of a powerful family, and there is no direct evidence."
"It took a long time for the government office to keep up with the thorough investigation, but the result of the judgment was that a driver of the Du family was upset and committed this crime."
Yuan Luo gritted her teeth: "It's lawless."
"Ha, of course we would not agree to close the case like this. My father has some reputation among scholars, and this incident has become more and more troublesome and even spread to the court."
"We are also lucky. When we couldn't help but stalemate, a new young man came to the government office. The case was stuffed to this young young man."
Yuan Luo could imagine that Cai Yunheng's older sister was also an official woman, and of course she couldn't be fooled like ordinary civilians when she was raped and killed. There are nobles on both sides, and the government office is afraid that it will have a headache, so he simply gave it to the newcomer.
"Although this new young man is young, he is a master of crimes. He is probably a new born calf who is not afraid of tigers. He is a rookie in the court. After taking over the case, he found real evidence and brought the criminal to justice. "Cai Yunheng said briefly.
"Actually, this incident was quite a big deal back then. After all, according to the law, the three waited for the titles above. If it is an only son, and murder, it is just exile, but it can also be used to atone for the crime. That surnamed Du is exactly The only son of the Hou Mansion, he beheaded in the end."
"Because of Shaoyin's thorough investigation, not only the sister of the family was victimized, but within a few years, many women from the good family were killed by him."
"So I was escorted to the execution ground and was cut off."
Yuan Luo sighed, it was a reassuring ending, but the tragedy had already occurred. For the victims' relatives, as well as the dead girls, the scars could never be wiped away.
It suddenly occurred to Cai Yunheng that this incident happened when Cai Yunheng was four or five years old. That Zhu Jidan, who had been eaten eight pills in one breath, caused vomiting and sickness. Now that I want to come, I am afraid that it is not a kid who is naughty and greedy, but One of the effects after the tragedy.
Because this story is too depressing, there is a moment of silence on the high platform.
Yuan Luo drank a drink and couldn't help asking, "Where did this rookie from the court go?" Such talents should be promoted vigorously if they have the opportunity.
Cai Yunheng showed a mocking smile, "Soon after, this young man was guilty and demoted. He was robbed and killed on the way south."
Gu Yi sighed and added: "This Lord Shen was once the number one scholar in Xianning for six years. He is extremely talented. He is also a mastermind. His family has declined, but he is upright and talented. He participated in the imperial examination that just emerged. Won the first prize. It was also very famous back then. Unfortunately, bad luck, too many enemies in the officialdom, and eventually died young."
auzw.com Yuan Luo listened with regret.
This kind of talent is what she needs most urgently, but it is no longer available.
Cai Yunheng raised his head and drank the drink in the cup, and said with a smile: "So, rather than your meritorious deeds, I would rather be gracious and enmity. It is a pity that in this court, there are always a lot of constraints and no freedom."
Yuan Luo was silent, she had seen it before. Compared with the same father and brother who died in that defeat, Cai Yunheng's psychological pressure is no less than Gu Yi, but he is cheerful and joking, not showing it to the outside.
"One day, grievances and grievances will be clear, and the settlement will be clean." Gu Yiwen calmed his brothers and looked up into the distance.
"Haha, maybe I reached this goal earlier than you." Cai Yunheng laughed and deliberately lowered his voice, "If one day I do something that surprises you, don't be too surprised."
The night wind blew by, and there were clouds in the sky.
Half of the moon was obscured, and through the clouds, it illuminated the three chatting and laughing people on the high platform.
It's getting late, Gu Yi and Cai Yunheng have to go back to work.
Yuan Luo got up and followed off the high platform.
Being drunk made her float, Gu Yi jumped down first and reached out to her.
On the cool night, the boy stood there, smiling, glowing like a small sun.
Yuan Luo jumped down with his hand.
Thinking of such warm and considerate, I might never see it again. Yuan Luo felt a little bit sad.
Too warm to girls, but it will make people feel nostalgic.
About her expression was too obvious. At the moment when he held her, Gu Yi couldn't help telling her a pleasant surprise.
"I know that the empress misses her hometown and her relatives. The empress doesn't like court life, so it's okay to get out as soon as possible and reunite with her family..."
Yuan Luo was surprised and interrupted him: "What reunion?"
"Actually, it has been found before that the empress' mother-in-law was imprisoned by the King of East Sea in a mountain villa outside the city. People can be rescued in a few days."
Yuan Luo was stunned. Li Jieyu's mother-in-law, she had asked Jin Linsi to investigate the news before, but she hadn't acted yet, this kid actually made her move first.
It was the last time I learned from the East Sea King and acted immediately.
This kind of thoughtfulness is really moving... that's strange! ! ! Fortunately, because of Wei Xi's oolong last time, she never followed the two to run outside the palace again.
Otherwise, give her a surprise of the reunion of the "mother and daughter" outside the palace... The more Yuan Luo thinks about it, the more he becomes afraid.
Also, they really intend to take themselves out of the palace. Li Jieyu is a little transparent, and it is indeed okay to use a little trick to get out of the palace, just like when he first proposed to go out of the palace. The two are so bold!
Yuan Luo is now full of humiliation, with only one thought, Li Jieyu's vest is really unusable!
Looking at Gu Yi's expectant gaze, she can only perfunctory: "I will talk about going out of the palace in the future."
"I know, it's not the time yet. But one day in the future, no matter what she does, she won't need to worry about other people's thoughts."
Gu Yi looked at Yuan Luo and suddenly laughed.
"Didn't the mother say that my future will be limitless? Then wait for the day when I go straight up." When that day, he is willing to clear all obstacles for her. No matter what kind of life she wants, he can protect her. For her, he had never been like this for a moment, and he had such a desire for power and status, even surpassing his pursuit of ideals.
Yuan Luo was walking to the last step, feeling shaken when she heard the words, and stomped on her feet.
Gu Yi was quick and smart, and hugged her.
Yuan Luo looked up and looked at Gu Yi in horror. She said that Gu Yi Qingyun went straight to something, only once, when she pretended to be a fortune teller here last night.
At this time, Gu Yi mentioned this to her, it would not be...
"When did I... When did I say..." Yuan Luo was struggling to death.
"It was when we met last night." Gu Yi replied with a low smile.
"You...how do you know..." Yuan Luo stammered.
Gu Yi didn't expect Yuan Luo to be so panicked and regretted, "It was me who was abrupt, and my mother didn't like to mention it, so I won't talk about it."
"No! No! You can tell me clearly now!" Yuan Luo grabbed his shoulder and asked urgently.
Gu Yi was taken aback by her excitement, and for a long time she whispered: "The mother, who pretended to be a fortune-telling monk last night, deliberately solved me..."
Cai Yunheng was stunned when he heard it next to him. He didn't even expect that the fortune-telling master of last night was Yuan Luo pretending to be.
What's the situation? Ms. Jieyu also has an amateur hobby of pretending to be a monk and giving fortune telling? How did she do it?
"How did you recognize it?" Yuan Luo gritted her teeth.
Gu Yi only thought that Yuan Luo was overly shy because of the loss of the vest, so he had to recruit from the truth, "I had a problem since I was a child, and I often don't know what people look like." He had face blindness since he was a child.
"In order to solve this trouble, my second brother thought of a good way for me, saying that everyone will have natural marks on their bodies. As long as you remember those characteristics, you can distinguish clearly. The girl’s fingernails are round and shiny, and her little finger The upper crescent has a little dent, which I noticed when I was drawing."
Yuan Luo's body trembled, remembering the action of Gu Yi holding his hand to his lips just before Cai Yunheng returned, and the time when he suddenly squeezed his hand last night after the signing was cancelled.
"So..." Yuan Luo still had the only glimmer of hope at the moment, after all, the favorability value last night only rose by eight points.
The first time I pretended to be a grandmother of the deep palace, it was up 24 points.
Gu Yi understood what she wanted to ask, and immediately said: "I know, Niang Ni, you were the one who gave Xiao Hei medicine in the palace last time."
The last ray of hope is also dashed! Yuan Luo felt dark in front of him and almost fainted.
