Jiapingguan Chronicle

Chapter 718 It's All Stupid

Xuanyuan Liang was sitting in the tea room, looking through the confession and evidence provided by Uncle Huaiyin sent by Song Jue, the more she looked at it, the more she wanted to laugh.

Tantai Pingchuan was sitting beside him drinking tea, playing with a dagger, seeing the smile on his face getting stronger, he raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Give me some face, don't laugh so blatantly, you are also my descendant after all."

"If they were your descendants, they wouldn't do such thankless things. From the beginning to the present, even in the most glorious years, the Tantai family has never set foot in the Jiangnan area. Where did they come from? Courage, want to do what you can't even do?"

"People always have some goals in life. Maybe they feel that they are very powerful. They are more capable than me and the ancestors before them. Maybe they can do what we can't do!" Tantai Pingchuan smiled but not smiled She raised an eyebrow at Xuanyuan Liang, "As elders, we can't always beat the children, right? We still have to encourage them."

"..." Xuanyuan Liang rolled her eyes, "Do you believe what you say?"

"Probably...maybe...believe it!" Tantai Pingchuan leaned over and put his chin on his arm, "What do you see?"

"I see that they are stupid, and sooner or later they will be stupid to death." Xuanyuan Liang adjusted her posture to make Tantai Pingchuan lean more comfortably. It's been so long, and wanting to get a share of the Jiangnan pie has already touched the Song family's bottom line, even if there were no such grievances, with the Song family's family tradition of vengeance, they would not let them go."

"If you don't let it go, don't let it go. I hope the little emperor can be more ruthless and completely eradicate this scourge, so as not to leave any trouble for future generations." Tantai Pingchuan closed his eyes, "At the beginning, we were too careful That’s why there are so many troubles.”

"Didn't I think at the time, don't do anything wrong? After all, it's your family. If I kill you, if you regret it and blame me for being heavy-handed, you should blame me if I didn't leave any offspring for your family." What should I do?" Xuanyuan Liang shook her head, "If I think about today, I will definitely not make such a choice, even if you will blame me in the future, I will not show mercy."

"You showed mercy back then, but today, you still have to deal with the aftermath yourself." Tantai Pingchuan chuckled, "This is your fate!"

Xuanyuan Liang didn't speak, and from his expression, he seemed to agree with Tantai Pingchuan's statement, or in other words, he had no reason to refute this statement.

"I'm curious, why did you choose Uncle Huaiyin? Just because his wife was born in Fengyitai?" Tantai Pingchuan shook his head lightly, "I'm not very familiar with these little nobles in Xijing, what's so special about him place?"

"Excellence? No, the Uncle Huaiyin's reputation is not really good among the big and small nobles in Xijing City, because the old Uncle Huaiyin has a romantic nature and likes to mess around everywhere. He is just a concubine. He married quite a few, and some of them were not young. When he was young, he offended the royal family because of this, and was beaten several times by the late emperor's brothers in turn. As he got older, although He has restrained himself a lot, but after a while, he can still hear news that his old man hangs around the brothel. As for the current Uncle Huaiyin, besides good luck, it seems that there is nothing that can be remembered? Even if disaster strikes, this title will not fall on him. It is said that he does not like to see this title, and wants to discuss with the first emperor whether his title can be abolished and let him be an ordinary citizen."

"Does he have such a personality?" Tantai Pingchuan raised his eyebrows, "How did the late emperor treat him?"

"What else can I do to him? After being scolded, he dared to go out. However, Uncle Huaiyin is just an idle little nobleman. As long as they don't seek rebellion, no one will care about the society."

"Is this why they chose him? Because he is inconspicuous, so he won't attract attention? Or..." Tantai Pingchuan paused for a while, "In the first place, he was not chosen, but Old Huaiyin Bo? Everyone knows the old man's temper, if it wasn't an accident, no one would be surprised if he died in the brothel."

"What you said... makes sense." Xuanyuan Liang put together the evidence she had seen, and continued to look at the rest, "However, when Yan Ruyu eloped with Uncle Huaiyin, the old man was still there."

"Maybe I was thinking too much, it was just a mistake, but I still don't understand that I deliberately chased Jiangnan to block people."

Tantai Pingchuan yawned, and rubbed his eyes on Xuanyuan Liang's shoulders with his eyes closed. Last night Mu Sheng and that boy surnamed Dai stayed at their house and chatted all night, which made him Didn't sleep at all.This might not be a problem when I was young, but now that I am older, I really can't bear it.

"I have the same idea as you. Although Fengyi Terrace is a hidden stake in Tantai's family, it is also the most profitable business. If a popular oiran runs away, another one can be launched. They are sure There will be backup candidates, there is no need to go to the south of the Yangtze River to catch them back. There are two or three other people who became famous around the same time as Yan Ruyu, and there are still two or three in Fengyitai, so it's not because of her."

"Hey, Old General Xuanyuan is very clear about this!"

"Didn't you tell me that?" Xuanyuan Liang rolled her eyes, "Didn't your youngest arrange these points with great painstaking efforts, and were you following them from the very beginning? What did they do? Aren’t they all under your watch? How dare you say me? The reason why you haven’t touched them all these years is because they haven’t done anything to harm the country and the people, and you have no excuse to deal with them.”

"Who told them to bully Xiaocha?" Tantai Pingchuan yawned a few more times, "It is unforgivable to bully our family." He opened his eyes and looked at the unseen evidence on the table, "Why is this so? How much? Haven’t finished watching yet?”

"Over the years, the news that Uncle Huaiyin passed on to Sanfang has been recorded in great detail. These messages are relatively fragmentary and seem inconspicuous. Many of them are the daily life of the people in the south of the Yangtze River. They should want to know so The habit of the people is to do as the Romans do. This Uncle Huaiyin has a lot of thoughts, he not only records these, but also draws the faces of the people who meet him every time."

"Children from Xungui's family, no matter how hard they try to make progress, are more thoughtful than children from ordinary families!"

"The people in the third room are also very cautious. The people sent to Jiangnan are different every time. Most of them, Mu Sheng has already provided Xiaocha, and they are either in the prison of the Imperial Army or the prison of the Ministry of punishment. There are only a few people who slipped through the net, I hope the commander will be faster and don't let these few get away."

After waiting for a long time, there was no reply from Tantai Pingchuan. Xuanyuan Liang lowered her head slightly and found that he had fallen asleep.
