Jin Tingjiao

Chapter 47

Aunt Pei clings to the silk for a long while without saying a word.

Shen Xi actually forgot the cause of death of Shen Chongxin and his wife, this is too inconceivable!
But her recent performance is really different from before.

Especially the words she said to Shen Liang earlier, it was impossible for her to come out of her mouth in the past.

It's not that she doesn't have this heart, but that she doesn't have such a clear mind at all.

She couldn't even control her own opinions, so how could she help the young Shen Liang build up his confidence?
So sometimes, she secretly wondered if Shen Xi had changed.

But she took a closer look, and she was exactly the same as before.

And now she can still remember when she was a child - how could it be possible for a different person?How to change this?So far-fetched!
Then it only makes sense that a miracle occurred in her illness. This illness actually made her return to her former self!

"This is great..."

she muttered.

"That's right," Shen Xi also said, "I remember hearing a doctor say that if a person is greatly stimulated, sometimes he will have forgetfulness.

"I think it was because the death of my parents was a big blow to me, so this time I was stabbed out by the illness.

"But those are my biological parents after all, how can I not know the cause of their death?"

Aunt Pei exhaled, walked back to her original position and sat down.

What she said was right, how could anyone else know how they died, but she, a serious prostitute, didn't know the truth?
There was a moment of silence here, and then he said: "Actually, there is nothing to say, but for us, the incident was too unexpected, and no one wants to think about it.

"Furthermore, because it is related to the imperial court, there are some taboos, so no one talks about it."

"The court?" Shen Xi raised his eyebrows.

Aunt Pei nodded: "Master and wife were ordered to die by the palace because they saved a Helian man."

Saved the Helian people? !

Shen Xi was really taken aback, and couldn't speak for a while.

Shen Chongxin was sentenced to death for saving the Helian people... She had guessed countless possibilities, but never thought of this!
"The girl also finds it incredible?"

Aunt Pei said: "Actually, we never thought of it at the time.

"Since the Great Zhou Dingguo, the imperial court has been chasing the Helian people and the remaining ministers of the Great Qin everywhere. It was snowing in the middle of winter, and the master and wife were invited by the head of the Zhuangzi to have New Year's wine. It was getting dark when they came back. A man was found almost frozen in the snow.

"Young lady also knows that the master and wife are both Bodhisattva-hearted, so she went back to Zhuangzi and rescued him.

"But after waking him up, we found out that he was from Helian, and everyone was shocked.

"Some people persuaded the master to hand him over to the government, and some advised him to send him back to his original place and let him fend for himself, but the master and his wife struggled for a long time, and finally placed him in a hidden place.

"Master and wife didn't reveal anything when they came back, and none of the accompanying people said anything about it.

"But just after the end of the twelfth lunar month, someone from Lingyun Pavilion suddenly came and took the master away. On the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, the queen mother gave a decree and a bottle of poisoned wine, and ordered the jailer to execute the sentence on the spot.

"The master refused to admit it until his death, and the wife did not escape this catastrophe, and was also given a white silk by the palace. When the master's bones were brought back to the mansion, the wife just happened to die.

"Before she died, my wife called you and me to her body, explained the ins and outs of the matter, and then pushed you and me out.

"The girl fainted several times from crying, but the old man was furious, but he still didn't let you die for his wife..."

Aunt Pei couldn't help crying when she said this, tears fell one after another.

Shen Xi looked at her, and his heart seemed to be filled with lead, heavy.

What a coincidence, they also died on the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month...

Although she had never experienced that scene, she could fully understand her mood.When she first heard the news of the Zhang family's complete annihilation, her heart felt as if it had been stabbed with thousands of knives.

Shen Chongxin just extended a helping hand to a person in need, but in the end both husband and wife died.

And they knew what the consequences would be, and they did it resolutely. It's no wonder that Shen Ruopu responded so harshly to Erfang, and also behaved so indifferently to the orphan of his biological son whom he loved so much.

Because from his point of view, Shen Chongxin lost his life for a person who was not tolerated by the court, which is actually a kind of unfilial piety.

It is not entirely unreasonable for him to vent his anger on his grandchildren.

But although she could understand Shen Ruopu, she could never blame Shen Chongxin and his wife.

From a moral point of view, they are just doing what a person who sees a wrong path should do.

But from the perspective of the Helian people, he is a brave man with a real sense of right and wrong and righteousness.

As a Tuoba man, it is so rare for him to be able to withstand the pressure and save a foreigner.

She took out the silk and handed it to Aunt Pei.

Aunt Pei took the handkerchief, sighed and said: "Actually, after so long, I'm not so excited anymore. I don't know what happened today, I guess it was Brother Liang who got into trouble earlier.

"If I didn't have my wife, I would have died in the moat many years ago, how could I live here without worrying about food and clothing?
"Not to mention my wife allowed me to keep Brother Liang for my master. My wife gave me my life. When I think about it, I can't control it."

Speaking of this, her eyes turned red again.

Shen Xi poured a cup of tea for her to calm her down.

However, his own thoughts inevitably floated again.

Judging from Shen Chongxin's experience, the Helian people almost became the source of the court's crimes. Although they never harmed his father, brother and family, they lost their lives in the end.

But why did the old woman in the day say that as long as it is not of pure Helian blood, even if it is caught, it will not be killed?
Besides, the young man she rescued was never taken to the government to be sent to death, so it can be seen that what the old woman said was true.

So why did Shen Chongxin and his wife get killed because of this?

Could it be that the Helian man has a special status?

Thinking of this, she couldn't help asking: "Who is that person?"

Aunt Pei sniffed, stopped crying, and said, "He is Emperor Qin Ling's bodyguard. In fact, he is an old acquaintance of the old lady."

"Old acquaintance?"

"That's right." Aunt Pei nodded, sighed and twirled the silk, "I heard from my wife that when the master was still taking the imperial examination in the Great Qin Dynasty, he was helped by nobles in the palace.

"That year when the master entered the palace examination, he was tricked by fellow examinees, and almost fell down the steps on the way to the main hall. It is extremely disrespectful to be disrespectful in front of the emperor, let alone on such an occasion.

"But at that time, a guard saw it from the side, so he secretly reached out to grab him and saved him from the disaster. I didn't know that this guard was the one they saved until my wife died."

Emperor Qin Ling's bodyguard!

Shen Xi held the handle of the fan tightly, his whole body seemed to have been petrified!
