Chapter 142 The Secret Buried Deepest in My Heart
After hearing what his elder brother said, Liang Zhongyuan finally realized what was going on and immediately broke out in a cold sweat.
"What should we do? Big brother, how about... let's run away!"
Liang Zhongyuan didn't care about the minor injuries on his body at this time. His life was about to end, so why think about those things?
"Run, run, run. All you do is run."
Liang Tai glared at Liang Zhongyuan and gradually calmed down. "We were also forced into this by Gu Yanqing today. I'm going to see the governor right away and tell him about this. As for the confession in Gu Yanqing's hand, maybe we can still send someone to get it back! Besides... even if we go before the emperor, we can still change our confession. After all, Gu Yanqing broke into the official residence and killed people. He forced us to do all this! This world still abides by the law!"
It's ridiculous to say that when Liang Tai forced others to lose their families and separate from their wives and children, he didn't talk to them about the law.
Now that it was his turn, he remembered to ask the law to support him.
"Yes, he forced us. We had no choice. He killed so many people! And...oh, my beloved concubine!"
Liang Zhongyuan, who was standing by, suddenly thought of something, ran out of the study in a hurry, and ran madly in the Liang Mansion.
A quarter of an hour later, Liang Zhongyuan found the unconscious family members and some maids and servants in the Liang Mansion's woodshed.
Fortunately, fortunately, they are all still alive.
"They were just knocked unconscious. It turns out Gu Yanqing was just trying to scare us!" Liang Zhongyuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Is it just a scare?
Liang Tai, however, looked solemn—Gu Yanqing just didn't want to kill innocent people.
In the Liang Mansion, those guards who were usually arrogant and domineering, as well as the group of death warriors that Liang Tai had trained over the years, were all killed, without a single one left.
"Brother, aren't you going to see the governor?"
At this time, Liang Zhongyuan had already appeased his concubine, but when he came back, he found that his elder brother had not left the house yet.
He was in a hurry to change his clothes and go out just now, why is he not in a hurry now?
Hearing Liang Zhongyuan's question, Liang Tai's face darkened again: "What happened tonight cannot be told to anyone for the time being."
"for……"
Liang Zhongyuan was about to ask a question, but he immediately reacted.
Prime Minister Gu did not kill innocent people indiscriminately and could spare the Liang family, young and old, but what about the governor?
He kills without blinking an eye.
If the governor knew about this, he would have a grudge against the Liang family. If the evidence could not be recovered, the governor would most likely kill the Liang family to silence them!
Although the evidence in Gu Yanqing's hand is not ironclad, it is still a source of trouble, and no one dares to gamble!
The governor doesn't dare to gamble, so how could Liang Tai dare to gamble!
Liang Tai suddenly remembered that before leaving, Gu Yanqing took away the most valuable landscape painting in his study.
Isn't this... a hint?
He was warning himself not to tell anyone what happened tonight, otherwise, it would be his Liang family that would suffer.
Whether it was the signed confession or the landscape painting, they were all evidence that Liang Tai had betrayed Yuzhou!
Liang Tai is now in a dilemma. If he moves forward, he will die; if he moves backward, he will also die!
"Ugh."
With a long sigh, Liang Tai seemed to have aged a lot all of a sudden. He knew that there was a knife hanging over his head, and it might fall soon...
Whether he dies or his whole family dies depends on his decision!
At this moment, the accountant of the Liang Mansion suddenly ran over with sweat all over his forehead.
"Master, this is bad! This is bad! All the banknotes in our treasury... in our treasury are gone!"
The accountant spoke tremblingly, his face looking very ugly. He was also knocked unconscious today and had no idea what had happened. After he woke up, he was told that there was a thief in the house!
Because of his job, the accountant ran to the warehouse to check as soon as he woke up. The result was...
"Master, this thief has taken all the banknotes. How about... should we report it to the police?"
"Screw you! Your master is just an official!" Liang Tai cursed, then turned to look at Liang Zhongyuan and said, "Zhongyuan, call everyone in the mansion together. I have something to say."
"I understand." Liang Zhongyuan became serious for a rare moment. He roughly understood what his brother meant, and quickly called together all the survivors in the mansion.
…………
On the riverbank, in the cabin of an inconspicuous passenger ship, Gu Yanqing sat leisurely. Uncle Ping beside him poured him a cup of tea and said, "Sir, you must be tired from running back and forth tonight. Have some tea first."
"It's okay. Thank you Uncle Ping for the drug."
Gu Yanqing picked up the teacup, a look of nostalgia flashing across his eyes: "Come to think of it, when I was venturing into the martial arts world with Grandpa, it was much harder than this."
Jianghu...
Those past events are now very far away from him.
Since my grandfather died, Gujiazhuang is gone, and everyone except Uncle Ping is dead.
After that...
Carrying the secret deep in his heart, he brought Gu Yanhuan to the capital...
All the past seems like a lifetime ago.
No one knows his past, and no one knows where he really comes from.
As if sensing Gu Yanqing's low mood, Uncle Ping immediately changed the subject: "Young Master, you gained a lot at the Liang family tonight. If I'm not mistaken, you don't intend to present those confessions to His Majesty, right? Your main goal is to alienate them and create cracks in the once solid Yuzhou clique."
The reason why the Yuzhou problem has always troubled Your Majesty is that the officials in Yuzhou are too united. They have always been a community of interests, and outsiders have never been able to infiltrate and destroy them.
But now, everything will be different because Gu Yanqing found the breakthrough.
"Uncle Ping is right. It's just a confession. It requires multiple verifications to prove its authenticity. The time we spent verifying it was enough for them to kill the Liang brothers to silence them. If those two brothers were smart, they would know how to do it. And these two confessions in my hands... do serve another purpose."
Gu Yanqing spoke calmly. The plan in his heart was not yet ready to be put into practice. He still needed to wait for the perfect opportunity to appear...
There was an accident during this trip to Yuzhou, which was beyond Gu Yanqing's expectations, but fortunately it was not a complete failure.
It’s just a pity for Han Song’s family.
Gu Yanqing first wrote down this account for Liang Tai. After all, he couldn't die now.
"How long will it take for this ship to reach... Hezhou?" Gu Yanqing took a sip of tea, suppressed the irritation in his heart, and suddenly asked Uncle Ping.
The trip to Yuzhou ended unexpectedly early, but Gu Yanqing did not return to the capital immediately. Now he was actually on a passenger ship to Hezhou.
"About four or five days."
It is said that one feels homesick when close to home. When Pingshu thought about going back to Hezhou, his face was full of nostalgia.
In Hezhou at this time of year, the mountains and fields should be covered with red flowers and wild fruits, right?
"It's late, Uncle Ping, you should go back and rest."
Gu Yanqing put down the teacup and let Uncle Ping leave.
When he was the only one left in the cabin, he gently took out the "Geography of Kyoto" from his arms. Jiang Jiang had been in a good mood recently and would write some happy things in her diary every day.
For example, she cheated Meng Haowen out of an extra 100,000 taels of silver.
Also, she thought of some new designs that could be used in Yanlou.
and also……
very many.
Her world is colorful and always full of hope and vitality.
It really makes people...
I'm jealous.
Gu Yanqing stroked the "Geography of Kyoto" and his eyes gradually became clear and gentle——
If this diary had not appeared.
If he had never seen the truth of this world...
Then.
His life will forever remain on that snowy night thirteen years ago.
Never...get out.
