More than a month later, Lin Shu asked Wei Zheng and others who went out to inquire about the situation more than once, what was the current situation in Jinling City and what consequences the Battle of Meiling had.
Although the area they are currently in is very far away from Jinling City, after more than a month, the Battle of Meiling, Chiyan's rebellion, and King Qi's rebellion have already spread throughout the world. Wei Zheng and others who went out to inquire for information have already spread all over the world.
, naturally also knew the news.
However, they never dared to tell Lin Shu and Zhou Chen because they were afraid that they wouldn't be able to accept it. Zhou Chen was okay. He only had his mother as a relative in the family. Because of Zhou Chen's mother's special status and Zhou Chen was not the main culprit, Zhou Chen was not the main culprit.
Chen's mother's life is not in any danger.
But the Lin family and King Qi's lineage were in a miserable state. It was so miserable that they didn't dare to tell Lin Shu because they were afraid that Lin Shu wouldn't be able to bear the stimulation and his injuries would be aggravated.
Although Lin Shu was poisoned, had difficulty moving recently, was affected by his emotions, and his judgment had declined, it did not mean that he had become stupid. How could he not see the deliberate evasion of Wei Zheng and others?
So today, Lin Shu directly ordered them to tell him what they had found out, and they were not allowed to hide anything.
The dozen or so former members of Chi Yan present did not speak, and all looked at Wei Zheng in unison.
Although the Red Flame Army no longer exists, they still regard themselves as members of the Red Flame Army. Here they belong to Lin Shu, Zhou Chen and Wei Zheng have the highest positions.
So they naturally looked at Wei Zheng, who had also refused to let them tell Lin Shu and Zhou Chen the truth before.
When Wei Zheng saw the look in Lin Shu's eyes, he knew that the matter could no longer be concealed, so he couldn't bear to sigh and began to tell Lin Shu the information he had found out.
It turned out that after the Battle of Meiling, Emperor Liang immediately executed the Lin family. All members of the Lin family, including servants and concierges, were executed. Some people with high positions were even killed by the Yi tribe.
Some officials and soldiers in Jinling City who had a good relationship with the Lin family were also implicated.
In less than a month, more than 10,000 people have been executed because of the Chi Yan case, and this is far from over. The court is still collecting evidence of Lin’s crimes, but no one involved in Lin’s case has been found.
Good ending.
The person most involved was Emperor Liang's most outstanding son, King Qi.
In Daliang, although King Qi was not the prince, he only lacked the title of canon. In fact, the power he possessed was not much different from that of the prince.
But this time, because of the Chiyan case, he became the rebel king who wanted to rebel and usurp the throne. On the day the Chiyan case occurred, he was imprisoned in the Hanzihao cell in Tianlao, and not long after, he was granted the title of "Hanzihao" by Emperor Liang
Poisoned and drunk, he died unjustly in the Hanzihao Heavenly Prison.
After King Qi's death, Emperor Liang did not stop the massacre. Instead, he captured everyone in King Qi's palace. Only some of the guests in King Qi's palace were well-informed and escaped in time. The rest were also executed.
As the mistress of the Lin family, Lin Xie's wife, Lin Shu's mother, and the eldest princess of Jinyang in Daliang, committed suicide in the Lin Mansion.
The eldest princess of Jinyang made the same choice as Emperor Liang's concubine, Concubine Chen, Lin Shu's biological aunt, who also committed suicide with three feet of white silk.
This incident caused a huge sensation in Daliang. Many people wanted to intercede for King Qi and the Lin family, but they were all regarded as rebels and arrested by the Xuanjing Division.
The ruthlessness of Emperor Liang and Xuanjing Si made everyone keep silent, not daring to say another word of objection for fear of being implicated and purged.
Although Lin Shu had been mentally prepared for a long time, when he learned all this from Wei Zheng, he was still in disbelief and unable to accept it.
"ah……"
Lin Shu wailed in pain, clenched his teeth, and the blood continued to flow down. He suddenly stood up, knelt down in the direction of Jinling, and kowtowed crazily. The force was so strong that the impact made a loud bang, which frightened Zhen Ping and others.
Quickly rush over and catch him.
But Lin Shu seemed to have lost his mind at this time, his eyes were blood red, he was struggling and yelling crazily, and five or six people could not hold him down.
Just when Zhen Ping and the others were about to use brute force to restrain Lin Shu, Lin Shu suddenly roared and twitched all over.
"No, the young marshal's fire-cold poison has taken effect. Hurry up and get some blood."
The blood was quickly brought over, and everyone hurriedly fed it to Lin Shu. Because the stimulation he had received before was too great, he could not bear it, so after drinking the blood, Lin Shu, although he stopped twitching and shaking, fell into a coma.
Wei Zheng ordered others to put Lin Shu back into the room, and then he faced Zhou Chen alone.
"Achen, I know that you, like the young marshal, also want to know the situation at home, but don't worry, although your palace has been implicated and many people have died, your mother, Princess Pingyang, has not been harmed.
I heard that she was forced to return to the Princess's Mansion."
Zhou Chen nodded expressionlessly. He was not surprised by this result. After all, his current status as a mother was unusual.
Although she is not a princess, she is still a princess of the Daliang royal family. More importantly, his mother Princess Pingyang's father is Zong Zheng of the Daliang Zongren Mansion, which is equivalent to the elder of the Xiao family of the royal family. Even as the emperor, Emperor Liang
, but also to give face.
In addition, Zhou Chen was only Lin Shu's lieutenant, and he had not joined the Red Flame Army for a long time, so Emperor Liang knew that you did not implicate Princess Pingyang.
However, the Wuchenghou Mansion could not be saved, Zhou Chen was also removed from his name, there was no longer a Wuchenghou Mansion in Daliang, and the Zhou family no longer existed.
I have to say that Emperor Liang was really ruthless. He knew very well that Lin Xie had no intention of rebellion, and he even knew that Zhou Chen, a young Wu Chenghou, would not have such thoughts, but he still carried out the execution and even used
This rebellion was solved and countless dissatisfied people were eliminated.
From the perspective of a superior like Emperor Liang, it is indeed necessary to eradicate the threat. Even if it violates morality, he must maintain the majesty of the imperial power.
This is the ancient imperial power. Anyone who threatens the imperial power is an unforgivable sin.
But for the people below, it was really cruel. Countless innocent people died as a result. It is not an exaggeration to say that blood flowed like rivers.
Zhou Chen, who has lived in modern times for hundreds of years, really felt sad because he once again witnessed the cruelty of ancient feudal society.
He also deeply realized that traveling to ancient society was not something to be happy about.
It would be fine if you traveled through time and became a noble from a noble family, and could experience the pleasure of being superior to others, but if you traveled through time and became an ordinary citizen, your life would definitely be many times more miserable than in modern urban society.
In modern society, no matter how miserable you are, you won't lose your life at any time, but in ancient times, you could really be killed for just one word.
In his memory, Zhou Chen discovered that his mother in this world was a very gentle and elegant lady. Even after her husband passed away, she could support the entire Hou family by herself and educate her son well. This is not
An average woman can do it.
So after he knew that nothing happened to her, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
After learning the truth, Lin Shu was immersed in sadness for the next few days. It was not until a few days later that he regained his energy and prepared to set off for Langya Pavilion.
In just these few days, Lin Shu grew up so much, as if he had become mature all of a sudden, but his eyes were full of hatred, which Zhou Chen and others noticed.
But no one tried to persuade him. At this time, Lin Shu had to rely on this hatred to persist. Without this will, everyone was really afraid that he would not be able to persist.
Their location was relatively far away from Langya Mountain, where Langya Pavilion was located. Zhou Chen and the others hid their bodies all the way on their way, so naturally they were not very efficient.
It took them more than two months to reach Langya Mountain. During the more than two months of traveling, they encountered danger many times and finally made it through safely. However, they also lost a brother during this journey.
, was killed by a sneak attack while fighting with a group of green forest bandits.
There were only about ten brothers left, but one more died, and he died in front of their eyes. Everyone was filled with grief and buried him properly.
Fortunately, although he encountered many dangers along the way, his identity was not exposed and the attention of the Liang court was not attracted.
Langya Pavilion is located on the top of Langya Mountain. It is a beautiful and elegant manor. There are pavilions and pavilions in the garden, and beautiful servant girls. Outside the garden, there is a wide main stone road that winds down and leads directly to the official road at the foot of the mountain.
Neither Zhou Chen nor Lin Shu showed up. They were both wrapped up and had bamboo hats on their heads, making it difficult for people to see their differences.
Wei Zheng was still very experienced. According to Lin Shu's instructions, he contacted the receptionist of Langya Pavilion and said that he wanted to visit the master of Langya Pavilion and that he was a good friend of the master of Langya Pavilion.
The welcoming guest went back to report his doubts, and not long after, a handsome young man in his twenties was brought over.
"This is our Young Pavilion Master of Langya Pavilion, Young Pavilion Master Lin Chen. If you have anything you can say to our Young Pavilion Master."
"Young Pavilion Master, these are the guests who want to visit the Pavilion Master."
The person who greeted the guests gave a brief introduction and then stepped aside without saying a word.
When Wei Zheng heard that this person was the Young Pavilion Master of Langya Pavilion, he immediately greeted him in a friendly manner: "Hello, Young Pavilion Master, my master is a good friend of your Pavilion Master. Could you please be accommodating and allow us to meet the Pavilion Master."
Lin Chen glanced at Wei Zheng, then at the others, and finally stopped at Zhou Chen and Lin Shu, who were wrapped up in bamboo hats. His eyes showed a bit of curiosity.
"The guest said he is a good friend of my father, do you have a token?"
His father, the Master of Langya Pavilion, also traveled around the world when he was young. It was not unusual to have good friends. It was only when he saw these people hiding their heads and showing their tails that he became curious.
Wei Zheng wondered: "Young Pavilion Master, we don't have any tokens, but my master is really a good friend of the Pavilion Master."
Lin Chen glanced in the direction of Zhou Chen and Lin Shu and asked, "Are they your masters? Why don't you dare to show your true colors?"
Wei Zheng explained: "My young master is ill and cannot see the light of day, so he is dressed like this. Please forgive me, young master, but my master does have an old relationship with your master. We will never dare to do this."
fool."
Lin Chen frowned. Although he had not seen the true faces of Zhou Chen and Lin Shu, he always felt that these people were troublesome.
If an ordinary person wants to buy information, he doesn't need to see his father at all. But when this group of people came to Langya Pavilion, they didn't say they wanted to buy information, but insisted on meeting his father. They also said they were his father's old acquaintances, which shows what the other party wanted.
, it’s definitely not simple.
Seeing the pleading and sincerity on Wei Zheng's face, and the eager looks on the others' faces, he thought about it and felt that Wei Zheng probably wasn't lying, so he nodded.
