The road of the farmer's fortune and the imperial examination

Chapter 1367 Extra Story (3): Xue's Rehabilitation [-]
Gu Chengyu looked at Liang Zhirui silently, his eyes full of inquiries.Seeing Gu Chengyu's deep eyes fixed on him, Liang Zhirui realized that he had lost his composure.

"What's the relationship between her and Xue Haozhen?" He didn't answer, but suddenly asked this question.

"Xue Haozhen's granddaughter!" Gu Chengyu replied softly.

He didn't know how to describe his inner feelings at the moment, he was a little scared, and the teacher's reaction had to make him think more.

"Granddaughter?" Liang Zhirui was stunned, remembering that Xue Shiqian's wife, Yao Shi, was giving birth when he heard about the ransacking of the house.Could it be that the child is the granddaughter that the little disciple is talking about now?
Then he thought for a long time, and then said: "Is it easy to sue the imperial court? A girl's family should not be arrogant. What's more, she is still a remnant of the Xue family. If she sued the imperial court, wouldn't that be her own death? Since she was lucky enough to survive , then why are you still obsessed with this, live well!"

Liang Zhirui's hands clutched the back of the chair with bruised veins. Gu Chengyu looked at him firmly and said: "She is very persistent, thinking that Xue's family was an unjust case back then, and she must clean up Xue's grievances. The students can't persuade her. It is her own choice, and the students have no right to intervene."

"Teacher, don't you think there is something strange about what happened back then? Don't you have any doubts? Xia Qing also participated in this matter back then, and his teacher knew it well. What's more, he had colluded with Daxing, and maybe he was motivated by it." It's a trick. Of course, this is just a student's guess!"

Gu Chengyu thought of Xia Qing. If Xue Haozhen and Xia Qing were collaborators and traitors, why did Xia Qing participate in this matter?
"Don't ask about the matter of the past. Anyway, Xue Haozhen is to blame for Xue's current situation. That girl, if you try to persuade her, it won't work. Knock her out and send her away! Give her money and let her go!" She doesn't have to worry about food and clothing, don't think about it anymore. For a girl, marriage is the right way."

After Liang Zhirui finished speaking, he opened the hidden compartment on the desk, took out a stack of bank notes from it, and handed it to Gu Chengyu.

"Although Xue Haozhen was hateful back then, many of his clan members were innocent. Since the old man collected evidence back then and joined him, I will give her granddaughter some money today as compensation!"

Gu Chengyu suddenly felt like a big rock was pressing down on his heart, and he panicked!
"The student said just now that she is very stubborn and unwilling! The teacher has something to hide from me? We have been teachers and students for many years, is there anything we can't say? Even if the facts are really different from the judgment of the year, the students will handle it according to their discretion. Yes. No one is as close as we are, but the students have always treated the teacher as my family."

Gu Chengyu's words were a test and a statement.If Liang Zhirui really did such a thing, wouldn't Liu Su'er sue the imperial court tomorrow and implicate the teacher?

As long as the teacher speaks out, even if it violates his conscience, he will not hesitate.

"What? Could it be that you still doubt the old man?" Liang Zhirui's eyes widened, and he couldn't help but angrily scolded.Little disciple, do you not believe in yourself?
Although he was touched by the fact that the little disciple abandoned his own principles for him, he did not want to see such a little disciple.This Jinyu is too affectionate, and will definitely be grasped by someone important in the future.

"The old man wants to see her!" Liang Zhirui calmed down, he thought it would be better to meet the girl.

"She won't see you, she said it before, and she also said that you are their Xue family's enemy!"

Liang Zhirui trembled with anger when he heard the words, he threw the banknote on the desk, "Okay! If that's the case, then the old man won't interfere anymore. I want to see if they, Mrs. Xue, can frame me again."

"Why doesn't the teacher want to tell the students what happened in those years in detail?" Seeing that Liang Zhirui almost jumped into a rage, Gu Chengyu was clearly out of breath.

"Everything the old man said is true. Back then, Xue Haozhen not only colluded with the enemy and betrayed the country, but also slandered the old man. In the end, the old man and other ministers collected hard evidence, and they brought him to justice. Now that his descendants are here, they dare to slander the old man. Old man, is she still holding some perjury to slander this old man?" Liang Zhirui raised his finger angrily, pointing at Gu Chengyu and asked.

Gu Chengyu frowned, Xia Qing was dead, and the Xia Mansion was ransacked, even if there was any evidence, it no longer existed.

"Why didn't the teacher tell the students what happened back then in detail? Maybe there is something else going on. This matter involves your reputation, and the students don't allow anyone to slander your conduct!"

Gu Chengyu stood up and bowed deeply.

Seeing this, Liang Zhirui sighed deeply.

"Since you want to know, the old man has nothing to say to others. The old man has been an upright person all his life, how could he do despicable things to frame others? The only thing that he should be ashamed of in this life is sister Xian and you. Forget it! Then let me tell you about it!"

When Liang Zhirui sat back in front of the desk again, Gu Chengyu felt relieved immediately, the teacher said it was fine, it showed that the teacher had no regrets at all.

"Back then, Xue Haozhen worshiped the position of chief assistant, and his power in the court was at its peak. Since Emperor Huiming ascended the throne, he has also relied heavily on him, not to mention the old man Gaozu used to, so he naturally respected him. It's just that Xue Haozhen He was so ambitious that he colluded with Prince Wei Dan of Daxing, this was evidenced by the intercepted correspondence at that time, and this criminal evidence should be kept in the files of the Third Division."

"Back then, the old man was still the Secretary of the Household Department. The Dayan Dynasty had just been established, and the treasury was squandered by the war. The old man was worrying about money. Who would have imagined that there would be officials impeaching Xue Haozhen, extorting bribes, occupying the good land of the merchants, etc., of course the old man would be angry. After checking, When he found out that it was true, he listed the charges one by one and impeached him. The charge of collaborating with the enemy and traitorous country was the result of a joint action by several officials. When the house was raided, a lot of hard evidence was found, with Xue Haozhen's private seal on it. "

"Later, he saw that he couldn't evade it, so he pinned the blame on the old man. Fortunately, the emperor knew the old man's temperament very well, so naturally he refused to believe him, and he couldn't produce any evidence of crime for a while, so the old man escaped for a while. robbery."

Having said this, Liang Zhirui suddenly stopped talking, hesitant to speak.

"Teacher, do you still have something to say?" Gu Chengyu knew that Liang Zhirui still had important things to say.

"Actually, Xue Haozhen is my concubine brother!" Liang Zhirui thought for a while, and told Gu Chengyu the truth, after all, he is not an outsider.

"What?" It was Gu Chengyu's turn to be surprised this time, he didn't expect things to turn around like this.

"Why did your concubine brother become a child of the Xue family? With your family background, the family shouldn't be unable to support you?"

"It's a long story!" Liang Zhirui sighed, and then continued.

"Back then, the old man's father bought an outer room outside, and he kept it a secret because he was afraid that his mother would cry. Then the outer room became pregnant, and he always wanted to be named. It's just that the father was a little afraid of the inside, and he was always reluctant to take her in. The outer room was naturally unwilling, but there was no way. But one day she suddenly disappeared, taking the child in her womb with her. Later, my father thoroughly investigated the matter and found out that she had hooked up with a child of the Xue family. The Xue family is a scholarly family, and the outer room became a concubine, and because the man was barren, he kept the flesh and blood of the outer room."
