Do you know the long song of laughter?

Chapter 383 Gu Tingye’s madness
After Mrs. Wang left, Minglan said solemnly: "Grandma, I'm afraid things are not that simple, right?"

Mrs. Sheng sighed after hearing this and said: "Your father is such a big official. When the officials look for someone to discuss matters, he can't get his turn. What's more, he is still working in the Ministry of Industry. I'm afraid it will be a disaster this time." Blessed."

The Ministry of Industry can be said to be the department with the lowest sense of power among the six ministries.

Even if the government wanted to build something, they would always go to the third department in charge of finance.

After all, whether it can be built depends on whether there is money. The Ministry of Works is only responsible for doing the work.

"Isn't dad in danger?" Minglan asked worriedly.

Although I am very disappointed with this father, I don't have any deep feelings for him.

But after all, he is her father and the god of the Sheng family.

If something happened to Sheng Hong, it would be the same as the sky falling for the entire Sheng family.

"I don't know yet, but your father is the most cautious and tactful official. Moreover, the Song Dynasty has never killed scholar-bureaucrats, so it shouldn't be a big deal. I don't dare to tell the lady this. Her temperament means that if she knows it, she won't cause trouble. That'll be fine." Mrs. Sheng shook her head.

"Ziqian, am I ridiculous?" Gu Tingye said with a smile.

Gu Tingye told what happened. After listening to it, Li An sighed, and it turned out to be this.

……

He took Gu Tingye to his courtyard, asked someone to bring him tea, and then sent him away.

"Tell me, what happened?" Li An said.

But his smile was uglier than crying.

"My father doesn't like me, and my brother and stepmother keep hurting me. There seems to be no need for me to go back to that home." Gu Tingye murmured.

"Even if I give up, I will kill her to avenge my mother." Gu Tingye gritted his teeth.

"I don't know what's going on now, so I can only wait. If I think too much, asking around will cause trouble. Let's wait and see." Mrs. Sheng shook her head.

"Zhong Huai, you have to cheer up. Don't you want to avenge your mother?" Li An said.

His calculations were all based on Gu Yankai's attitude.

"Revenge? With my father's attitude, how can I take revenge?" Gu Tingye laughed at himself.

"Zhong Huai, what's wrong with you?"

"Zhonghuai, you can't give up on yourself. If you give up like this, your stepmother should burn incense to celebrate." Li An advised.

His eyes had no energy at all, his face was pale and his expression was dull.

Li An was reading a book. When he learned that Gu Tingye was coming, he hurried out to greet him. He was shocked when he saw Gu Tingye's appearance.

Even if his plan comes true, what can he do if Gu Yankai favors the Xiao Qin family?
Gu Tingye even thought about killing Xiao Qin directly as he said when he tested Mannia before, and then wandering around the world.

"Then we can only wait?" Minglan asked.

Li An was stunned, suddenly thought of something, and said, "Let's go in and talk first."

Gu Tingye's appearance now is even more terrifying than when he learned Mannia's true identity.

But Gu Yankai's attitude today made him give up completely.

"You're crazy! Do you know the consequences of doing this?" Li An stood up suddenly and looked at Gu Tingye in disbelief.

It is a capital crime for a son to kill his mother. In his previous life, Li An remembered reading an article about a case of a son killing his stepmother during the Ming Dynasty.

The cause of that case was that the stepmother and his father had a quarrel and started fighting. As a result, the stepmother got violent and killed her husband with a sharp knife. When the son saw his father being killed, he killed his stepmother in order to avenge his father.

In the end, the county magistrate ruled that even if it was to avenge his father, killing his mother with his son was a treasonous act. According to the law, he should be Ling Chi, but he was sentenced to death because he was avenging his father.

According to regulations, the death penalty must be submitted to the two houses for review, and the county magistrate reports it. Both houses have no objection to the verdict.

It can be seen that in the concept of the ancients, even if you avenge your father, it is still an act of rebellion.

However, before execution, it was necessary to report to the court for approval. When the head of the Ministry of Punishment saw this case, he had objections.

In his opinion, the stepmother is inferior to the biological mother, and when the stepmother killed the father, it was equivalent to severing the relationship between mother and son. The son avenged his father and was not guilty.

However, it was wrong to commit suicide without going through the judicial process. In the end, he was beaten with a cane and released.

You know, there is evidence in this case that the stepmother killed the father and she was seeking revenge for the father.

Even so, the initial sentence was the death penalty. After review by both chambers, the verdict was approved.

And what about Gu Tingye? There is no evidence at all.

What's more, the laws of the Ming Dynasty and the Song Dynasty are definitely different. Even if Gu Tingye has evidence, killing Xiao Qin is probably a death penalty.

"Of course I know, but the revenge for killing my mother must be avenged." Gu Tingye said.

Seeing that Gu Tingye seemed determined to do this, Li An couldn't help but slap his forehead.

After thinking for a while, he said: "Zhong Huai, if you can kill Xiao Qin, can you do it to your third brother?"

"Although the third brother was born to my stepmother, my mother's death had nothing to do with him." Gu Tingye shook his head.

Although he hated Xiao Qin, he couldn't kill Gu Tingwei.

In the entire Gu family, if there is anyone who is sincere to him, it is probably Gu Tingwei.

"It doesn't matter, but Xiao Qin is targeting you like this because of the title. Your eldest brother is not in good health. If you kill Xiao Qin again, the title will definitely belong to your third brother. Maybe Xiao Qin will still thank you. "Yeah." Li Jia said calmly.

"I..." Gu Tingye opened his mouth, not knowing how to refute.

"Zhong Huai, to deal with someone like Xiao Qin, killing her directly is not the best way. You have to let her many years of calculations come to nothing. That would be more uncomfortable than killing her. As long as you inherit the title, it is the best thing for her. Good revenge. If you kill her, she will be even happier if her goal is achieved. And if your mother is still here, she doesn't want to see you do such an extreme thing."

Li An patted Gu Tingye on the shoulder and said, "That's all, you can think about it yourself."

After hearing this, Gu Tingye was silent for a long time, raised his head and said: "Zi Qian, you are right, I was impulsive before. Thank you!"

"What's the point of being polite between us?"

Li An hesitated for a while and said, "Actually, if you want to deal with your stepmother better, you can talk to your elder brother."

"My eldest brother and my stepmother are colluding and plotting against me. How could he help me?" Gu Tingye sneered.

"I've heard about your big brother, but it's just because of his health, otherwise he must be a great person." Li An said.

Gu Tingye didn't refute when he heard this. Indeed, his eldest brother was very smart, but it was difficult for him to do anything because of his physical condition.

"If your elder brother really wanted to harm you, do you think you could survive until now?" Li An asked.

"According to what you say, he did it all for me?" Gu Tingye sneered.

"No!"

Li An shook his head and said: "He hates you because he feels that his mother's death was caused by your mother. But he still has brotherly love for you, otherwise you wouldn't be alive today."
