Love Like The Galaxy.

Chapter 121

At this time, Cui You was busy wrapping up the war to appease the place. Ling Budo couldn't wait to return to the DPRK with the army, so he returned to the capital with the Wan Cheng family two days ahead of schedule. On the way, Shaoshang got into the carriage and humbly asked her stubborn brother.

"Why is it that every time I mention Lou's family, Master Ling's nose is not nose and eyes, not eyes? In fact, I haven't said a word for Lou's family, and I have only seen him once after Lou Yao's marriage!

" How strange." Cheng Shao Gong raised his eyelids without interest.

"Because heaven knows you know me, I know Ling Budoubt, he knows even more, if there is no His Majesty, there is no He family, and there are no other ties, put him and Lou Yao on the food table, which one will you choose to talk about.

Shao Shang was silent, and then struggled for a while: "This is not entirely true. In fact, I like Master Ling very much now." Cheng

Shao Gong yawned: "You should tell him this, maybe he will go along with it. " This is a good breath."

Back in the capital, the rest of the people went back to their respective homes - including Wan Songbai, who was going to seek grievance but now the focus was no longer on himself, Ling Budo and Shaoshang went to see the emperor separately. The emperor was calling several Confucian scholars to inquire about the manuscript collection at this time. Seeing the solemn expression on the adopted son's face, he planned to withdraw everyone in the hall, but Ling Budo stopped Yuan Shen.

"I'm afraid Yuan Shizhong will have to help me in this matter." Ling Budo said.

Yuan Shen's expression froze, and he bowed.

At this time, the emperor had already detained Huang Wen, but no matter how he interrogated him, Huang Wen only said that a junior brother whom he trusted very much told him Wan Songbai's 'crime', and at this time that junior brother had disappeared. However, in the emperor's mind, this matter only stopped at the level of "the vassal officials were repeatedly stabbed, and there must be hidden feelings under them". It was not until after listening to the detailed statement of the adopted son and the step-by-step deduction that he knew what happened in the Tongniu County case. It is an unimaginable wave of turbulence, with bursts of murderous intent.

"Lord Ling's words are very true, and the deductions are also closely linked, but..." Yuan Shen suddenly interjected, "There is still no iron evidence to directly prove what Lou Ben did. If there is only this circumstantial evidence, it is said that Lou Ben only met privately. Yan Zhong, but it has nothing to do with the secret collusion between Yan Zhong and Ma Rong, and it is not a bad idea." - Lou Ben was neat and did not leave any direct clues.

Ling Budo replied: "Yuan Shizhong is right. This minister does not dare to be an expert, for fear of wronging Lou Ziwei. So far, he has never revealed a single star to others. Now the minister only asks Your Majesty if he wants to continue the investigation."

Yuan Shen Muran knew that Ling Wuxuan's words implied 'as long as he investigates, he will definitely find evidence. If the emperor wants to make peace with the mud, then this is the end of the matter'.

The emperor's face was ashen, and his posture was as if the ink splashed on the snow-white silk had solidified. He thought of Yan Zhong's stubborn but eager face, of the honest and loyal appearance of Mr. Lou for decades, and of the queen and the prince-they did nothing wrong, but they were destined to be implicated.

After a long time, the emperor said solemnly: "The principle of heaven is clear, and justice is self-sufficient. Check it out, and find out what it is!"

Ling Budo bowed to take orders, and then fixedly looked at Yuan Shen. Yuan Shen knew that there was no way to hide, so he also faced each other dignifiedly.

After coming out of the Shangshu Terrace, Ling Budo

went straight to the Changqiu Palace, but found that the young merchant was not there. The queen first looked at her adopted son with concern, and then smiled: "The boy of Shaoshang didn't say anything, he just told me to leave for two days. Also, she has been out for a while, and the family should be worried, so she called me. She should rest at home for a few days, don't act like a jailer all day long."

"She really didn't say anything to the empress?" Ling Budo couldn't believe it, he knew how much the girl admired and trusted the queen.

The queen thought for a while and said, "She just said, even if something happens, the prince and I don't have to worry. With you, we can always take care of everything properly."

Ling Budo didn't show it on his face, but he was really ironing in his heart. He originally thought that the girl would reveal the matter to the queen and crown prince in advance, and he was worried that the leak would cause things to change.

For the next two days, Ling Budo and Yuan Shen hurried in and out to finalize Lou Ben's crime. The two didn't like each other, but this time they didn't even look at each other and didn't communicate with each other. They only said what they should say. Only listen to what should be heard.

Two days later, Cui You's army finally returned to the DPRK. Due to the small scale of this battle against rebellion, the victory was considered smooth. In addition, the emperor was in a complicated mood at this time, so he did not hold a grand triumphal ceremony, and the ministers did not care about these falsehoods. Rewards for meritorious deeds, the children of each family will sit in a row under the allocation of Daddy Cui.

——At this time, Ling Budo and Yuan Shen finally found irrefutable evidence enough to convict Lou Ben.

Ling Budo said goodbye to the trembling emperor, holding the decree, and went straight to the Lou family. Yuan Shen, who was beside him, was also ordered as a deputy and went together.

When he came to the building, he saw the lights inside and outside the mansion, the guests laughed and drank, and the laughter went straight to the alley. Only then did the two of them know that the Lou family was having a banquet today. Yuan Shen was startled, and hesitantly said: "Why don't you and I come back in half a day..."

Ling Budo's mouth was sarcastic: "Could it be that you and I will offend Lou's family less after half a day? Do it to the end."

Yuan Shen's face sank and he stopped talking.

When Lou Taipu heard that the emperor had sent someone, he hurriedly led his disciples to greet him. Seeing the formation of Ling and Yuan, he immediately realized that it was not the emperor who came to reward him. Lou Ben was still very determined. Seeing the calamity was imminent, he actually looked as usual. He even smiled and asked Ling Yuan and the two to talk in the inner hall.

On the way to the inner hall, Lou Ben's wife Wang Yanji and several female dependents hurried over. Ling Budo glanced at the person behind Wang Yanji and frowned, "Where have you been for the past two or three days? I'm not free. I came to you, you came here backwards."

Shao Shang said helplessly: "Today the mansion held a banquet, and the second young lady invited my grandmother, oh, she's going to change her clothes now." She looked at the posture of her fiance's red dress, and sighed, "So, Have you still got the evidence?"

Wang Yanji Huarong paled: "...what, what evidence...Shao Shang, you, our two families are..."

Ling Budo didn't want to be entangled outside, and said bluntly: "You guys Come here."

When he came to the inner hall, Ling Budo said bluntly in front of everyone: "I think you already know why Yuan Shizhong and I are here, why don't you explain it to your family, then follow me to the Tingwei Mansion. Stop."

"Ting, Tingwei's Mansion?!" Mrs. Lou Er's body trembled in shock, "What did you say?! Didn't Ziwei just make a great contribution! This, how do you say it..." Even if she He never paid attention to foreign affairs, and knew that Tingwei Mansion was not a place to drink and eat.

Shao Shang met Wang Yanji's intense and panicked eyes, and smiled bitterly: "To tell the truth, I don't know what's hidden in it." Then he asked Yuan Shen, "Why is Young Master Shan Jian here?"

Yuan Shen let out a long sigh and continued to shut up. .

Ling Budo said coldly: "Lou Ben colluded with Peng Ni's general Ma Rong, tricked Tongniu County magistrate Yan Zhong to entrust his family and Jingtong, and then slaughtered them all, then instructed Ma Rong to make money in Tongniu County, and finally pretended to persuade him. Ma Rong Kaicheng surrendered——the two should cooperate with each other and make this three birds with one stone!"

Lou Taipu was shocked: "Where did this come from! How can this happen..."

Mrs. Lou tensed for a while. She opened her face and stared at Lou Ben with both fierce and contemptuous eyes; Mrs. Lou Er had already thrown herself on top of her daughter-in-law Wang Yanji, and burst into tears.

"I'm still the same old saying," Lou Ben said calmly, "If you want to convict me, you can't just rely on speculation, and come up with evidence!"

Ling Budo said, "I will go to the gate of Loufu today. I want to do what you want."

Lou Ben twitched his face: "I will listen carefully."

"You are neat, and almost all the people involved in the incident were killed, even Ma Rong..."

"Oh, I killed even Ma Rong now?"

"You didn't want to kill Ma Rong, but since you can't kill Wan Songbai, you can only kill Ma Rong."

Lou Ben sneered and didn't answer. comment.

Ling Budoubt said: "I thought that if even a mere lady of a small bureaucracy knew to leave some clues to prepare for the unexpected, Ma Rong would not have been prepared at all. In the end, you two are just mutual interests. Trust me, not to mention seeing the tragic death of Yan Zhong's family, who truly believed in you, I don't believe that Ma Rong will be untouched! So I went to check Ma Rong's whereabouts-and found that he has never been in Tongniu County since he made money. I went home. I first guarded the county seat, then I was 'convinced' to surrender, and then I served under Cui Hou's account. If he wants to hide something, where should he hide it?"

Shaoshang's mind flashed and he blurted out. : "Tongniu County?!"

Ling Budo glanced at the girl: "Yes, it is Tongniu County. Ma Rong not only stationed there for nearly a month, but also walked around the streets every day, euphemistically called 'inspection'. The people are suffering'."

Yuan Shen was fascinated and couldn't help asking: "Where did you find 'those things' in the end?"

Ling Budo said, "Ma Rong has traveled almost all over the county. I'm afraid that ten days and a half months are not enough to search everywhere. But Ma Rong is only a martial artist, and he doesn't have such a careful mind..." He smiled and looked at Lou Ben, "There is a Niutoufang in the north of Tongniu County. , there is a restaurant in the market, called 'Muzhen'."

Shao Shang was still quietly imitating these words in the palm of his hand, Lou Taipu, Yuan Shen and others immediately figured it out, and their eyes salvoed towards Lou Ben——Niu Tau+ Male female = three cattle.

Lou Ben began to lose his calm expression.

Ling Budo continued: "In that wine shop, my subordinates found drilling marks on the wall of one of the private rooms, and when they dug it up, they found it was a large bundle of books, which contained what you wrote to Yan Xian these days. Ling's letters - from your acquaintance, meeting, inciting Yan Zhong to relocate his mother and children, and even to the appointed time and place... everything. I guess you asked Ma Rong to destroy these letters to Yan Zhong after entering the city, who knows He stayed."

Shao Shang thought that when Ling Budo was tracking down Li Feng's wife, he probably also checked Ma Rong.

Lou Benqiang calmed himself: "Oh, I really wrote it, Zisheng must have read it wrong."

Ling Budo said, "Those letters did not specify the name, only a small description was written on the inscription. Linghua mirror."

Wang Yanji glanced at her husband in confusion.

"Not only that, I have seen the local vernacular records submitted by Zi Wei before His Majesty's imperial case, and the handwriting is not consistent with the words on those letters." Ling Budoubt said.

Lou Ben's face recovered a bit of blood, and he smiled: "I have no name, and the handwriting is different. How can I see that those letters were written by me to the county magistrate?"

"That's why I hid these letters. No announcement." Ling Budo said, "However, I think of Yuan Shizhong. Your Majesty has repeatedly praised Yuan Shizhong in front of me that he is good at writing ink and can write a variety of calligraphy fonts - so I think Ziwei and Yuan Shizhong are not from the same school. Well, if Yuan Shi has this talent, then Zi Wei will certainly not let go."

"However, Master Ouyang has long traveled around the world, and I don't know what year and month to find him, and besides, Master Ouyang is notoriously unruly and unruly. Not to mention the things that the disciples wrote, even my own handwriting is also written and thrown away, which is really difficult for me..."

Yuan Shen twitched the corners of his mouth: "It's okay, isn't it under the hood?"

Ling Budo smiled at him Laugh: "Although Yuan Shizhong is young, he is calm and composed. The bamboo slips and silk silks given by His Majesty on weekdays are all kept in good order. I wonder if Master Ouyang also entrusted the books and writings when he left..."

Yuan Shenpi smiled but didn't smile: "The Master didn't entrust me with it. It was me who was busy. I put away all the books and tablets that the Master left everywhere. After drying, I covered them with oilcloth and stored them properly."

Shao Shang sensed a deep sense from this tone. of pain.

"Yuan Shizhong and I rummaged through Yuan's mansion for a few days, and finally found the poems and essays you wrote to your teacher and classmates before the age of 20. There are various fonts, and some of them are the same as those you wrote to Yan Zhong. The handwriting! His Majesty still couldn't believe it. He even asked a number of calligraphers to taste it. They all said, "Although running script is different from old and young, it is true that it is written by the same person." I have wronged you. So far, what else do you have to say?!" Ling Budo put one hand on the case, Yuan Ting Yue Zhi, and his aura was threatening.

Lou Taipu sat down on the ground tremblingly, and Mrs. Lou Er covered her face and wept, but Mrs. Lou stepped forward and sneered: "I still think you have done great things outside, and you have been showing off your strength at home these two days. It's amazing, but it turned out to be such a shameful act! I said nephew, no talent is no talent, what's wrong with imitating your cousin to live comfortably, why do you have to harm others and yourself, and now you are committing a big crime , don't want to implicate the whole family..."

Shao Shang couldn't listen anymore, and was about to make a sarcastic speech, but saw Wang Yanji's skirt waddled, walked a few steps to Mrs. Lou, and was greeted with a loud slap in the face. Everyone was shocked, and Mrs. Lou was knocked to the ground, supporting the floor with one hand and covering her face with the other. She was shocked and angry: "You, you... how dare you...?!

" Immediately stuck on the floor, he said viciously: "If you dare to say one more word, I will splatter your blood five steps!"

Mrs. Lou was frightened by this gaze. Everyone looked at it, and saw that the golden shawl was stuck between Mrs. Lou's fingers, and it was about to plunge into Mrs. Lou's palm.

Lou Taipu stood up and said, "Shut up and don't talk anymore."

Wang Yanji stared at her husband in a daze: "Is this...all true...?"

Lou Ben smiled sadly: "Yes, it's all true..." Really."

Wang Yanji burst into tears: "Why do you do such a thing! Isn't it impossible to make achievements!"

"For father's grievance, for your future, for my own ambition..." Lou Ben Said, "At this point, I have no face to see you. You can go home in the future. You are still young, and it is not too late to remarry."

Wang Yanji said hoarsely, "Do you want to kill me by saying this now?! But don't worry, I will remarry, and I will never waste my life for you!"

Lou Ben smiled at his wife and turned his head: "Zisheng knows that everyone is looking forward to being born in a peaceful and prosperous world, but I only hate not being born a few decades earlier."

Ling Budo said: "In those days, when the tyranny of the emperor was tyrannical, the heroes rose together, and the stars gathered, Ziwei, if you If I can get it right, I can turn the world upside down, guide the country, and make a career."

Lou Ben cupped his hands and smiled: "Zisheng said it well, I'm here to thank Zisheng for being a confidant."

Ling No doubt: "I know Ziwei's ambitions. However, it is not a road that leads to gradual progress, accumulating official rank, and gradually becoming the backbone of the country."

Shaoshang originally wanted to say that her third uncle started as a county magistrate. I was only promoted to county magistrate this year, isn't it pretty good?

Lou Ben smiled conceitedly: "I was born with this temperament, and I have no way to be subservient to others. Tell me to start out as an official and a small official, and spend all my ambitions in insincere compliments, and in painless negotiation. , I would rather not step into the courtroom for the rest of my life."

Shao Shang: The third uncle was shot in the basement, so it turns out that the county magistrate is also a servant.

"That's why you slaughtered Yan Zhong's entire family as a stepping stone to promotion!" Ling Budo's tone gradually became severe.

Lou Ben shook his head: "Cui Hou is cautious, I can't let me point fingers on important military affairs, I ran to give Cui Hou's advice, who can listen to me, who can convince me? You have to rely on something to convince people of me. Let's go."

Lou Taipu pulled his nephew's sleeve with tears in his eyes: "Ziwei, why do you have to do this, our Lou family is not an unknown generation, you take your time..."

"Uncle, you Stop being so pretentious." Lou Ben interrupted with a sneer, "Everyone says Lou Tai servant is honest and honest, but none of us in our family doesn't know about uncle's petty cares."

Lou Tai servant choked.

"Speaking of which, I would also like to thank Zisheng. A few years ago, Zisheng recommended me in front of the East Palace." Lou Ben continued to Ling Budoubt, "I heard that Zisheng once told the prince that Lou Ziwei was a conspiracy. It's a pity that the great talent of the political director is thrown into the Confucian Classics Institute to extract chapters and sentences, and he should be given a chance to show his fists."

Ling Budo whispered: "I only see your talent, not yours. As a human being."

Lou Ben said: "Yes, although I have never had a deep conversation with Zisheng, I have regarded Zisheng as a confidant."

Shaoshang thought to himself: The last Yan County magistrate who regarded you as a confidant has all died. Well, it seems better not to be your confidant.

"Unfortunately, His Royal Highness didn't listen to Zi Sheng, Zi Sheng knows why?" Lou Ben said.

Shao Shang was intrigued.

Lou Ben glanced at the servant of Lou, and said sarcastically: "Because my good uncle politely declined His Highness's recommendation, saying that I am still young, so I should take a look around and have a few more years of experience before I can become a leader. It's a matter of course."

Lou Taipu sighed regretfully: "...It's all mine, I heard your auntie..."

"Don't push it to the auntie anymore."

Lou Ben said coldly, "Men and man, It's your job to blame everything on a woman! If you want to recommend me as an official auntie, you can't eat you! In fact, you secretly hope that your son will excel, but it's a pity that several cousins ​​are all You're an idiot. Back then, you argued with your father, but later you were afraid that I would go ahead and suppress your sons in the future, so it's been blocking my future, isn't it?!"

Lou Taipu's face was flushed red after being scolded, and he was speechless: "You...why are you spitting blood..."

Lou Ben ignored him and walked slowly to the window, where a long sword with gems and jade was hanging by the wall.

He sighed: "Over the years, I have traveled all over the world, but Your Majesty only praises my literary talent and knowledge, but does not know that my ambition is to make mountains and rivers for the stars and chess. Chasing the soldiers, seeing that Junior Brother Yuan is only twenty-one years old this year, and already has a place in the Shangshu Terrace, but I still don't know where to go."

"Eagle can't fly under a low eaves, and Kunpeng can't swim in a shallow pool. I've been devoted to the center since I was young, but I don't want to fall to this point. Alas...time is also fate..." He turned around , smiled at his wife, "Ayan, it seems that I can't accompany you to the East China Sea to visit Penglai Wonderland..."

Ling Budo was shocked, and

said sharply: "Stay here!" With a flash of sword light, Lou Ben has drawn out the long sword on the wall, wiping the sword across his neck.

Lou Tai servant and Lou Er's wife screamed, Wang Yanji rushed up like a madman, but saw that her husband's throat was bleeding, and he died of anger.

...

Three days later, the emperor first imprisoned Peng Zhen and other party members, and planned to choose good weather to execute them in the future, and at the same time to reward them for their merits in the Shouchun War. Because Daddy Cui arranged it well, except for a few young heroes who really shined, the rest were basically 'distributing credit according to the severity of the injury', and almost everyone was satisfied, even Ban Xiaohou who only did paperwork got it Rewards and rank.

Only the house is an exception.

Lou Ziwei, who had made the greatest contribution in this battle, suddenly committed suicide. At the same time, the emperor exiled Lou Juncheng and several subordinates for thousands of miles, dismissed all the officials of Lou's family, and ordered Uncle Lou to bring his family back immediately. Origin, thought behind closed doors.

——Although the crime was not specified, many old fritters in the courtroom already knew it.

The only exception is Lou Yao.

It is said that just one day before the emperor was about to convict the Lou family, several of General He's former comrades in arms suddenly asked to see the emperor, begging the emperor with tears in their eyes, for the sake of the He family's whole family, anyway, to open the door.

The emperor is a nostalgic person. I think Lou Yao knew nothing about his brother's evil deeds. If Lou Yao is not pardoned, should He Zhaojun remarry or go into exile to endure hardship together? And who will He's children look for in the future? raising it.

After gritting his teeth and struggling for a long time, the emperor finally raised his finger to Lou Yao. Not only did he not let him be exiled, he also found a small place for him to be the county magistrate, and the rest of the He clan could accompany him.

There was no wind and no snow on this day, and it was a rare sunny day since the middle of winter.

As usual, Shao Shang was ordered by the empress to send the emperor a book of yi (a kind of document that the empress reports to the emperor in writing), and then was dragged by Ling Buxuan and stood under the porch to bask in the sun, and Yuan Shen also came over not long after. I don't know who started it, the three of them couldn't help but talk about Lou Ben.

"Senior brother Ziwei is a pity, just in terms of talent, no one in the division can surpass him." Yuan Shen sighed, "If you think about it for a while, it will never be recovered. Now the whole family has been convicted, and the wife has gone back to her mother's house. "

It's not that much. We saw through his painstaking plan in just a few days." Shao Shang complained.

Ling Budo picked up the end of his long eyes: "You saw it too?"

Shao Shang rolled his eyes at him.

Yuan Shen said: "If it weren't for the coincidence of Wan Taishou, Lou Ziwei's plan would have come

to pass." "This is called Tianwang so sparse and sparse!" Shaoshang said, "Everything has a bottom line, Lou Ziwei has crossed the line!"

Ling No doubt, neither yin nor yang said: "It turns out that Mrs. Cheng is so jealous of evil."

Shao Shang gave him another look.

"Who doesn't like fame, wealth, and wealth, but a gentleman loves money in a proper way!" Shaoshang said indignantly, "What kind of eagle, Kunpeng, who doesn't want to fly into the sky in one fell swoop, but can't make a fat man in one bite, he has to come step by step, he It's good, the stars, sun and moon have to revolve around him. If he has to come up, he will be ranked third. How easy is it? Is His Majesty his biological father? Ah, haha, I'm dying of laughter, this excuse is not novel at all! Just like Mr. Yuan, is the family of the Yuan family worse than that of the Lou family? Mr. Yuan didn't start from the sutra scriptures at the age of fifteen. Honestly, one step at a time, until now, he has been favored by His Majesty and was elected to the Shangshu Platform, and he can participate in important affairs of state affairs—could these all fall from the sky!"

Hearing the girl's praise, Yuan Shen saw Ling Budo's face as if Being slashed with a knife, he couldn't help but avoid his face and laugh, smiling extremely happily.

"Hey, that's right." Shaoshang expressed his feelings for a paragraph, then turned his head and said, "Master Yuan, didn't you say that the marriage was five to three? How is it now?"

Yuan Shen seemed to be strangled. The cockfight of the neck, the laughter stopped abruptly. This time, it was Ling Budo's turn to burst into a series of laughter, which was also extremely joyful.

"Don't worry about the concern of the young Shangjun, it's already been three to two!" Yuan Shen stiffened his face and left with a flick of his long sleeves.

Shao Shang shouted at Yuan Shen's back, "Young Master Shan Jian, please work harder, next time you will choose one of the two, you can have a wedding banquet!

" .

Seeing that there was no one in the corridor at this time, Shao Shang hurriedly tugged at Ling Budo's jacket: "Don't laugh, don't laugh, this is where the emperor is discussing matters, you laugh so loudly, beware of the imperial censor's impeachment for your behavior. !"

Ling Budo managed to hold back his smile, his shoulders still shaking.

Shaoshang said: "Because I have always been bad to Yuan Shen, so you are still polite to him, but Ayao is the opposite, right?"

Ling Budo gave the girl an angry look: "I haven't settled with you yet, you Come and ask me first. Where have you been a few days ago, did you go to find He Zhaojun?"

Shao Shang lay on the railing and sighed, "At that time, I thought that Lou's family could not be saved, even the lightest exile would be required. Human life, but Ayao is really innocent, I can't just turn a blind eye, so I went to find He Zhaojun."

Ling Budoubt said, "I just said why they begged your majesty in such a timely manner, it turned out to be you."

Shao Shang Helplessly spread his hands: "There is no way, the old He family are not always in the capital, His Majesty was in a rage at that time, it would be too late to wait for him to issue an edict of punishment, I had to ask He Zhaojun to send the nearby counties in advance. The old and old uncles of the county came over and pleaded with Your Majesty as soon as possible."

Ling Budo sneered: "At that time, I was still pretending to be suspicious, but who would have turned around and asked He Zhaojun to rescue the soldiers, you two-faced little bastard!"

Shao Shang pondered for a moment and said, "I was really suspicious at the time. How can I convict someone without evidence? You didn't tell me about Lou Ben's letters. But..." She sighed, "I think I should believe it. You, you seldom do things you are not sure about."

Ling Budo snorted lightly, turned his head, and the corners of his mouth were slightly curved.

"I'm going to see Ayao and He Zhaojun off in a few days. In order not to show your face to me again, it's better to make some things clear in advance." Shaoshang walked around to Ling Budo and looked at him directly. .

"The third brother said that the reason why you are so brooding about Ayao is because if you don't care about the orders of the emperor and your parents, and only let me choose between you and Ayao, I will most likely choose Ayao. I think, uh, he's right."

Ling Budo was so angry that he turned his head and wanted to leave, but the girl was holding on to his sleeves - "But that was before!" she shouted.

Ling Budo stopped, but his face did not turn back.

"I didn't know you well before, you were like a big white-fronted tiger trying to eat people, and you were so fierce all day long, Ayao was honest and obedient, what I said he should do, of course I Choose him!" Shao Shang whispered.

Ling Budo turned his face back and hummed from the end of his nose, "What about now?"

"Now?" Shao Shang said quickly, "Then there's no need to say that! If you and Ayao are put on the food table, Even if Ayao has been roasted and covered with oil and is extremely delicious, and you are still a piece of raw meat, I will only slap at you!" She couldn't help but use the words of her elder brother.

Ling Budo couldn't help laughing, and gently rubbed the girl's forehead. "Do your best to coax me!" He was delighted, his eyes were as bright as stars, and the clear night was clear.

Shao Shang held him for a while, his fingers touched the strange circles of iron wire around his wrist again, and he wondered: "What is this, it's not a rope or a silk thread, what are you wrapping around the cuff for?"

Ling Budo suddenly pushed Kai girl, standing with her back, her handsome face was inexplicably flushed with light red. After a long while, he said to himself, "You probably never knew, I've been thinking of you all the time."

The author has something to say: most of the laws of the Western Han and Eastern Han are in the same line, but there are qualitative differences in the severity of punishment. That is, from time to time, the Western Han Dynasty 'killed off' a family, but the Eastern Han Dynasty basically did not.

When I was reading the history of the Eastern Han Dynasty, I often had doubts, hey, wasn't this X family already wiped out before, why did it come out again? A more typical case is the Dou family, the Liang family, the Deng family, and even the Ban family...

For example, the Dou family was cleaned up after the death of Empress Dou Zhangde, so why did Empress Hengsi Dou Miao reappear? For example, the Deng family. After the death of Deng Sui, the Deng family was also cleaned up. What happened to the Deng Meng family?

For example, the concubine of the Yin family stabbed the princess to death, but only the concubine's parents and elder brothers died, and the other nobles of the Yin family were fine; Ban Chao's grandson also killed the princess, and only the concubine was also dealt with. The rest of the family is fine.

Only later did I learn that the Eastern Han imperial family was quite polite to these noble families. Except for the domineering general Liang Ji who touched the bottom line and poisoned the young emperor, the Liang family was completely cleaned up, and the rest of the noble families who failed in political battles basically only punished their masters. Branch, the side branch is only subject to some deprecation. To put it simply, the brothers and sisters in the direct line will be implicated, but the cousins ​​and uncles can get away with it.

To put it simply, it is very comfortable to be a powerful family during the Eastern Han Dynasty. As long as you don't become a foreign relative, you have escaped the disaster of the party twice, and you have avoided the wars in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. Basically, those families established in the early Eastern Han Dynasty can always be. Go to the Three Kingdoms era, and then you will meet the Sima family and their sons.
