Jun Lixuan helped Ling Qiyang to sit on a chair beside him, and listened to Gu Yao speak slowly.
Gu Yao contemplated for a while, and said, "The Tangxi family was originally a wealthy family in Yuncheng. The ancestors have always been friends with the government, and the government has given the Tangxi family a lot of convenience. Yan Nuo is the only son, and his father also placed his best wishes on him. You all know that my mother is Yan Nuo's aunt."
Ling Qiyang and Jun Lixuan nodded without asking further questions.
"Although I live in Tangxi's family, Yan Nuo's parents love me very much, but after all, I studied medicine with my master, and when I grew up, I traveled around with my master. I didn't have much time to go back, so who did my uncle do business with? I never asked what kind of business I was doing, and I don’t know.” Gu Yao sighed slightly, and continued: “Afterwards my mother passed away, I was very sad, and I was afraid of going back to Tangxi’s house. Mother disappeared for a long time and lost contact with Yan Nuo."
Ling Qiyang and Jun Lixuan could more or less understand Gu Yao's mood at that time. After all, he grew up with his mother, and the father of the first emperor is really dispensable. But his mother passed away. For a doctor, he couldn't save his mother, his only relative. One can imagine the mood at that time. It is also reasonable to avoid those memories.
"I didn't expect that something happened to Tangxi's family at that time. It was said that Yan Nuo's father evaded business taxes, bribed officials, monopolized business, killed people, etc., so uncle was arrested. Because uncle is a businessman, so in Convictions only need to be judged by the local prefect, and the emperor cannot be alarmed. And I am not here, Yan Nuo has no choice but to turn to Uncle Wangyang for help. According to Yan Nuo, Uncle Wangyang came to their house a few times back then, and he was very fond of him. He had a good impression, which gave him the opportunity to meet Uncle Wangyang. However, Uncle Wangyang said at the time that things were difficult to handle, and if he was a member of his own family, he could use his relationship. But Yan Nuo is an outsider after all, he really doesn't want to Dare to take this risk. If Yan Nuo is willing to enter Uncle Wangyang’s mansion, he can consider it. Yan Nuo thought about it for two days, and finally agreed to Uncle Wangyang’s proposal.” Gu Yao was obviously reluctant to bring up this paragraph, as if this matter The matter is also a knot in his heart, so when he said it, he kept frowning and kept his eyes on Ling Daddy for a moment.
"Despicable!" Only now did Ling Qiyang know the reason why his father entered the mansion, he didn't even know that his father was forced to be helpless and desperate to become Uncle Wangyang's concubine. Thinking of his father's heartache in those years, the more Ling Qiyang felt the same, the more he wanted to get rid of this despicable person.
Jun Lixuan comforted Ling Qiyang from the side. He also felt that Uncle Wangyang was not good enough for Daddy Ling, how could he marry him with Daddy Ling's spirit. It turned out that there was such a thing in it, if it weren't for this, even if Uncle Wangyang wanted to break the sky, he would never be able to marry Ling Daddy.
"When I arrived in the capital, Yan Nuo had already entered Wangyang Bo's mansion, and his household registration was changed. However, because he only started taking Qingzi medicine after entering the mansion, and because he was worried about family affairs, his health has been poor. Uncle Wangyang also failed to have sex with him. I started to investigate the affairs of Tangxi's family, but God's will tricks people. The battle for the throne, the situation is unclear. I can't figure out the emperor's attitude towards me, so I can only avoid it first." The battle for the throne has always been either you die or I die, and Gu Yao should avoid it, otherwise it may be life-threatening. I don't know why.
"After some turnaround, I learned that my uncle's charges were not all groundless. He did evade business taxes and bribed officials, but there was no way to verify the rest. I secretly went to Wangyangbo's mansion to meet Yan Nuo and said After reading the things I found out, he didn't believe that his uncle had done those things, so he had a big fight with me, and thought that I could have helped him, but I didn't show up for a long time, and now I'm timid, and don't ask the emperor... In short, I had a very unpleasant quarrel with him." Gu Yao said: "Although I once saved the emperor's life, the situation in the court at that time really made me very passive, and I couldn't see the emperor. In the end, it was also my fault. Wrong, if I go back earlier, maybe there will be some room for things."
Ling Qiyang shook his head and said: "I can't blame you for this matter. Dad must have been sad and confused at the time, so he would say that. If the emperor's attitude towards you at that time was killing you, it would probably affect Dad too. After all, your No one else knows about it, the emperor wants to silence others, so naturally he wants to kill everyone who knows."
"As for that period of time, it was indeed very chaotic, and I don't want to say more. After all, I was sorry for him. The late emperor passed away, and the country mourned for three years. People with status are also forbidden to marry and marry. Yan Nuo always thought that Uncle Wangyang was helping his father clear his grievances, but he did not expect news from Yuncheng that his uncle died of a sudden illness in prison, and his aunt heard the news of his death. The news, thinking that Yan Nuo's good child turned into Qingzi and got married, I felt sorry for the ancestors of the Tangxi family, so he hanged himself that night."
Ling Qiyang frowned, "In these letters, it was mentioned that Jiu killed Tang Xiyu and forced Tangxi Mansion to death. It was all done by Wang Yangbo." Tang Xiyu is his grandfather, and he only knew about himself today. Grandpa's name. And if it weren't for these evidences, Ling Qiyang would also feel that the death of the Tangxi family was just an accident.
"If the evidence is true, then he did it. And these lists also stated that the downfall of Tangxi Mansion was designed by Uncle Wangyang. Except for what uncle did, the rest of the crimes were imposed by him. Otherwise, uncle would not be guilty of death. Yan Nuo thought that Uncle Wangyang had been helping his father get rid of the crime, but in fact Uncle Wangyang had been harming uncle and Tangxi Mansion." Gu Yao felt that this was really a play of fate. Tangxi Yan Nuo was the one who suffered the most. "Yan Nuo became seriously ill when he heard the news of his parents' death. I didn't hide it anymore and took care of him as his cousin. So I didn't go to Yuncheng either." Check the corpses. When I go back, my uncle and aunt have been cremated. The government said that the corpses rotted badly in summer. To prevent the epidemic, they burned them. I buried them in the ancestral grave of Tangxi's family, and the matter came to an end gone."
After being silent for a long time, Ling Qiyang suddenly said: "He deserves to die." Both Jun Lixuan and Gu Yao knew who this "he" was referring to.
Although it is really inappropriate for pregnant people to say such things, they all understand this kind of hatred, so they didn't say much.
"I'll have someone investigate this matter immediately." Jun Lixuan patted Ling Qiyang's shoulder to reassure him, and then said to Gu Yao: "Senior, please take good care of Daddy."
Gu Yao nodded, and Jun Lixuan turned around and went out.
Father Ling didn't wake up after fainting, and developed a high fever that night, and fell into a coma. Ling Qiyang was very worried, but she was pregnant with the child and couldn't stay up late to take care of her. For peace of mind, she had to sleep in the room next to Ling's father and let her master take care of her. If there was anything wrong, she could inform him in time.
Jun Lixuan began to investigate the matter of Uncle Yang. In order to find out as soon as possible, Jun Lixuan not only used all the available power under Jun Liche, but also borrowed the people who benefited from Jun Liyuan's hands, plus his own. The hidden guards and contacts were checked together, and there was only one thing - keep everything secret until there is no result.
Three days later, Father Ling finally woke up. Ling Qiyang didn't know how to comfort his father, so he could only sit next to him and accompany him every day. After waking up, Father Ling didn't talk much, he only held Ling Qiyang's hand at the very beginning and asked him to rest, and then he didn't say a word.
Gu Yao made the medicine himself every day, and Father Ling didn't refuse, taking the medicine quietly. Regarding his silence, Gu Yao didn't say anything. He knew Papa Ling was sad, and he also knew he felt guilty, if silence could make him feel better, Gu Yao wouldn't mind if he healed his wounds in this way.
Ten days later, Jun Lixuan hurried back with the findings. What Wei Shumian said was not half false. Those people that Uncle Wangyang had time to get rid of in the future, after learning that someone had sued Prince Lin’s mansion, also produced letters or evidence that Uncle Wangyang had indeed killed many people. .
As for the matter of Tangxi Mansion, it was also investigated clearly. It turned out that Tang Xiyu did have some cooperation with Uncle Wangyang at the beginning, and also met and bribed some officials under the introduction of Uncle Wangyang, and helped Uncle Wangyang resell some treasures. But Uncle Wangyang didn't tell him that it was made in the palace. He only said that it was made in the porcelain kiln of Uncle Wangyang's mansion. , so please ask Tangxi Mansion to sell it on behalf of you. By the way, if the caravan of Tangxi Mansion goes out to receive the goods, you can also take the things to the border area to sell. As for the money earned, the two sides will split it fifty-five.
Uncle Wangyang had some friendship with Tangxi Mansion, and at that time, Tangxiyu lost a caravan due to the flood in the south, which caused heavy losses, and some money and silver could not be opened. Agreed to cooperate. By the time he found out that the people who worked with him had accidents one after another, it was too late when he came to his senses and realized that something was wrong. The situation took a turn for the worse, and Tang Xiyu was arrested before he even had time to explain to his family, and the family members were also troubled.
And Tang Xiyu didn't know until his death that the convoy that caused him heavy losses was not washed away by the flood at all, but was secretly stopped and killed by Wang Yangbo's people, and the valuable goods were looted, worthless or very difficult. Those who were taken away were thrown directly into the flood, as if an accident had happened. Because Uncle Wangyang had already made up his mind about Tangxi Mansion. On the one hand, the business in Tangxi Mansion was really big enough to help him. On the other hand, he met Tangxi Yannuo once by chance, and he never forgot it after that. Wanting to get someone in his hands, he and Old Wangyang Bo planned this idea together. Although it was a long circle, it finally achieved its goal.
While Jun Lixuan was doing his best to investigate the old affairs of Uncle Wangyang, Emperor Yanxi also saw a joint letter from the Minister of Criminal Affairs and the newly appointed Deputy Envoy of the General Administration Department, saying that the fourth prince, Jun Chengyan, robbed the women of the people, killed his concubines, and was arrogant and domineering. Unforgivable sin.
It turned out that the woman who frightened the fourth prince's concubine mad that day was the wife of the deputy envoy of the Tongzheng Secretary who had not yet been married. At that time, the woman came to Beijing to ask for a peace talisman for the deputy envoy of the General Administration Department and her family. There were so many people at the gathering that day, the woman and the accompanying maid got separated, and were snatched back by the people of the Fourth Prince's residence. Fortunately, with the help of an expert, he pretended to be a ghost and escaped.
When Yan Xiyan thought about it carefully, he knew that this was true. Although he had some doubts about the concubine's death at the beginning, but because he was not in the right position, he didn't ask any more questions. I thought it was over like this, but I didn't expect it to be turned over again.
After finding out the truth, Jun Lixuan handed over the evidence together with Wei Shumian to Emperor Yanxi. Emperor Yanxi was already angry, but when he saw Uncle Wangyang's rebellious deeds, he was even more furious.
After handing over the evidence to the Ministry of Criminal Justice, he decreed: "Abolish the title of Earl Wangyang, put him in a dungeon, and be executed in three days. Ling Hongzhi is innocent and loyal to the country, so he can establish his own family and has nothing to do with the Wangyang Mansion. Others Let people drive out of the mansion and let them fend for themselves."
"Father is holy." After hearing the will, Jun Lixuan saluted.
"The emperor is wise." All the officials echoed.
Back at the palace, Jun Lixuan went directly to Father Ling's yard, he knew that Ling Qiyang must still be with his father at this time.
"How?" Seeing him coming in, Ling Qiyang asked.
Jun Lixuan walked to the bedside, held Ling Qiyang's hand, and said to Daddy Ling: "Uncle Wangyang has lost his title and will be executed in three days. Daddy can feel relieved now."
Hearing his words, Father Ling looked at him in the blink of an eye, was stunned for a while, and then said with a little relief: "My lord is bothering you..."
