Chapter 17 Finding Out (2)

It was getting late, and it was inappropriate to go out to inquire about the news, so Li Shi went to bed with a sad face and a sigh.Before going to bed, she pulled Ning Shuo to worship the Bodhisattva again, asking the Bodhisattva to bless everyone safe and bless Sheng Yanling's marriage smoothly.

Following her wish, Ning Shuo worshiped the Bodhisattva, burned incense, kowtowed respectfully, and was able to return to the house.

As soon as he went back, the servant poured water for washing his feet, but he waved his hand to let them go out. He took off his shoes and socks, and lay down on the bed with his clothes on, eyes open, without any sleepiness.

——This is not for Sheng Yanling. The matter of Yu's family is in his heart. Although it is not a small matter, it is not a big one. As long as she has the support of the Ningguo Palace, the fault of the divorce will all fall on Xingzhi, Yan Ling Besides, when it comes to kissing, the marriage will not be bad.And being able to recognize Yu Xingzhi's true face as soon as possible is a blessing in disguise.

He couldn't sleep all night just to avoid Yuchuan.

The word "Bu Yuchuan" is enough to remind him of the grievance of being punished four years ago with his family.

Four years ago, when this old man who had acted soberly all his life, had a pure character, and had a clean hand, sued his father to the Jinluan Palace, he said that his father had embezzled 11 million taels of silver that Jingtai had provided for Jiangnan disaster relief in 100 years, and that he was doing business in his hometown in Muzhou. His second uncle also embezzled 50 taels of silver from the people and the bureaucrats under Muzhou.

The 150 million taels of silver cost the lives of my family and my second uncle's family.

The family heirs have always been weak.In my father's generation, there was only my second uncle and one brother. They were considered farming and studying families. The family was not rich, but they were not poor either. They had fields and land, and earned a little silver. Because of this, my father was able to concentrate on studying. Later, he won three yuan in a row and was called a genius.The second uncle also became a merchant and started some small businesses.

At that time, the late emperor was still in power, the emperor was not yet an emperor, just a prince with no power and power, his father and his temperament were congenial, they had known each other for many years, they often came and went, and they even called each other brothers in private.

Later, when he became emperor, he taught the prince to his father.

Ning Shuo still remembered his father smiling and saying, "Your Majesty often told me that the Crown Prince is his most important treasure. Now that he has given me his treasure, I must teach him well. If he can't teach him well, he will It is a debt to the emperor."

But who knew that when the crown prince grew up, he would become someone his majesty hated because of his timid nature?
Ning Shuo recalled those years carefully, and only felt that His Majesty and the Crown Prince were both heartless and ungrateful people.In order to suppress the prince, His Majesty promoted the second prince, King Jin, to compete with the prince, and to fight against the prince. However, his father supported and educated the prince for many years, but he was not worthy of kneeling on the court and shouting for him.

Thinking of this, Ning Shuo felt very uncomfortable. He let out a deep breath, got up, opened the window, and listened to the rumbling wind outside.The sky in Kyoto is very strange, it is very bright during the day, and it will blow with strong wind and rain at night.

The raindrops splashed on his hands, but he didn't wipe them off, thinking of his father's injustice again in his mind.

My father did go to Jiangnan for disaster relief in Jingtai's 11th year.In that year, he was also nine years old, and he still remembered a few things.He remembered that his father was going to the south of the Yangtze River, and the court allocated 500 million taels of silver. He and the crown prince had never been out of the capital and wanted to go with him, but his father said solemnly: "This is life-saving money, and I will leave immediately. Where is it?" Is it enough for you to mess around?"

But my father was still happy, "Your Majesty said, the 500 million taels of silver, one tael of silver is one life, he dare not give it to others, only trust me."

When he went there, his face was full of red, and when he came back, he was also proud, saying: "The 500 million taels of silver, every centimeter has been spent on the people."

He also included Zhuangzi's prospects in the past few years with his family.How could he embezzle money like this?

Ning Shuo believed in his own eyes, believed in the truth he saw—his father, like Baixue in Cangshan Mountain, worked hard for the royal father and son, never had a double heart, worked diligently for the people, and never corrupted a single cent.

Therefore, everyone in the world believes in Yuchuan, but he doesn't.

He had thought about it when he was in prison, and Bu Yuchuan was very likely to be King Jin's man.At that time, King Jin was fighting with the crown prince, and as long as the crown prince fell, he could take the position of crown prince.

Not Yuchuan, definitely not clean.

During the daytime, Ning Shuo asked about Yu Xingzhi's affairs, and by the way, he also inquired about how this honest and honest old man has lived for the past four years. He learned that he is still in a high position, has won the emperor's heart, and is still admired by the people. Blood came out with one hand.

The rain was crackling more and more, Ning Shuo returned to the desk and wrote down the words "Xiaoxi Zhuang".

Bu Yuchuan said that there are three evidences of his father's corruption.One is the 50 taels of silver embezzled by the second uncle in Muzhou.Ning Shuo rarely saw his second uncle, and his second uncle rarely went to Beijing, so he didn't know him well.I only heard from my father that my second uncle is very honest. He is just like his father, and he has no concubine. He only gave birth to a son with his second aunt in his life, but he has raised the child to look like a playboy. Every time he writes a letter, he is worried. tone.

The second one is "Xiaoxi Zhuang".Xiaoxi Zhuang is a small courtyard located in Xishan in the suburbs of Beijing. It was bought by my father when he was young. There was no one living there before. Later, when he was in Jingtai for 18 years, his father suddenly said that the courtyard was leased to someone.

And it was in this other courtyard that 100 million taels of silver were found.

The 100 million taels of snowflake silver, bearing the stamp of official silver, was proved to be the batch that Jingtai sent to Jiangnan for disaster relief in 11, and it was the physical evidence of his father's corruption.

The third is the witness, the father's confidant and housekeeper.I don't know what the housekeeper's surname was when he was young, but he first became his father's book boy and was given a surname, and later became a housekeeper, the person his father trusted most.

At the most critical moment, he came out and bit back, saying that his father had indeed been embezzled, and that Xiaoxi's makeup was hidden by him under his watch.

The three ironclad proofs left my father with no room to refute, so he was sent directly to the prison and killed seven days later.

The rest of the family, together with Ning Shuo, were locked up all the time, and it took more than half a month before they were sentenced to death.

The winter snow has not yet disappeared, but the blood of the family has disappeared completely.All died and no one was spared.

except him.

Ning Shuo took a deep breath, closed the window, and went back to bed to sleep well.He still couldn't sleep with his eyes open, and he was still thinking about the case of family injustice.

If he wants to get revenge, he must find evidence.For example, what is the truth about the second uncle's corruption, for example, how did Xiaoxi Zhuang hide the 100 million taels of snowflake silver from the government's bottom seal, and how did it come from, and for example, follow the housekeeper...why did you betray your father.

One by one, he didn't think about it clearly when he was in prison four years ago, and now he must check it out when he returns to Kyoto.

After staying up like this until dawn, I finally felt a little drowsy.In a daze, he thought of the prince again...

The prince actually went to the Daxiong Palace Temple to light the ever-burning lamp for him.

It's ridiculous.

Why, is he timid again, afraid that his wronged soul will linger, and he will come to the capital from Lingnan to take revenge?
When he got up the next day, Li Shi was already waiting outside.Ning Shuo was in a daze, so he hurriedly got up and asked someone to come in. Seeing his pale face, she knew that he must have gone to bed very late, so she blamed herself, "I shouldn't ask you to take care of it, look, look, You got sick yourself first."

Ning Shuo: "Mom, I'm fine, I just had a nightmare and I don't look good."

Li Shi wants to call the doctor.Fortunately, the doctor came and said it was all right, "rest more, don't suffer."

Li Shi still didn't dare to ask Ning Shuo to go out. She wanted to find out about the affairs of Yu's family while the iron was hot.

She said, "I'd better check it myself, you rest!"

Men have a man's world, and women also have women's methods. This kind of rear-end affairs, women are more powerful.Yesterday I asked Ning Shuo to go because I checked Yu Xingzhi.Yu Xingzhi is a man, where he goes, what he does, and the details of his actions. Ning Shuo is also a man, so he has classmates who can inquire.

But now that it's probably found out, Ning Shuo doesn't have to go, she said, "I'll go directly to find out about that concubine of Mo's family, if it's found out that it's true that Yu Xingzhi is deliberately tossing the banquet bell..."

She sneered, "Then don't blame me, the Yu family and the Mo family will give me too much to eat and walk around."
