Chapter 273 Who is right?

Outside the house, the west-slanting sunlight shines in through the window lattice and falls on the square table in front of the window.

The mottled light and shadow cast a warm world on the square table.

Lu Xiangge rubbed the teacup in his hand, waited until the tea was warm, and then drank it all.

The girl's eyes were full of doubts: "How does General Zhou know that I earned my current fortune with two hundred taels of silver? Could it be that General Zhou noticed me very early and sent someone to keep an eye on me?"

Two hundred taels of silver earned her countless shops, she had said this, but very few people really knew.

Because, this is actually a lie.

When she was sent to the Lu family, the person who sent her did indeed leave two hundred taels of silver behind, but the Lu family didn't dare to use that money, and she didn't want to use it either.

Later, she bought a shop in Jiangjiaba. All the rent from the shop was used to help orphans and widows.

Zhou Yang looked at the slightly petite girl in front of him and said calmly: "If I say that I left the two hundred taels of silver to the princess, the princess can trust you."

Lu Sheige stiffened when he heard this and looked at the young man opposite him in surprise: "Did you keep it?"

"Yes, I kept it."

Zhou Yang raised his hand and poured some hot tea for Lu Shenge. He watched the tea wash away the tea leaves in the cup, roll them up, and then slowly unfold them.

"That year, I went to Dongyang County for business, and I picked you up on the deserted roadside on my way back. Because you were injured and unconscious, and I was in a hurry to return to Beijing, I took you to Jiangjiaba.

To a fisherman family named Lu. At that time, I left two hundred taels of silver to that family and told them to try their best to treat you."

Lu Xiangge sneered: "Then should I thank General Zhou for saving his life?"

"Not really." Zhou Yang didn't want to take credit from others.

"I also said at the beginning that if you really can't be cured, ask them to buy a thin coffin and bury you alive. If you are someone with evil intentions, just leave you to fend for yourself. Then spend one or two taels of silver to buy a coffin.

I buried you in a thin coffin. The Lu family is kind and righteous, so I feel unworthy of this life-saving grace."

"I don't know something."

Lu Xiuge straightened his back and looked a little dazed: "General Zhou, are you sure I am an orphan, or do you know that my family was ruined at that time and I had no relatives to rely on?"

Zhou Yang was momentarily stopped by her words and couldn't help raising his hand and placing it on the square table, hesitating.

Lie, what should you do if the lie is exposed later?

Don't lie. If Lu Sheige knew the truth at that time, how could he agree to his request?

Zhou Yang could only bite the bullet and said: "If I say that when the accident happened in Lujiazhuang, I saw it with my own eyes, and meeting you later on the roadside was just a coincidence, would you believe it?"

"Is it you?"

Lu Sheige stood up abruptly and looked at the young man who was sitting as straight as a bell, his hands clenched into fists and his eyes glazed over.

Lu Xiangge raised his voice and asked sternly: "You were the one who led people to kill my father and set fire to my Lujiazhuang that day? Isn't it true?"

The past was like the wind, whistling and disturbing her memory.

The young man on horseback crushed the plaque on the Lu family's gate with his horse's hooves.

The arrows fired from the bow hit her right in the heart. Her father risked his life to protect her from leaving. Behind her were burning flames and fallen relatives.

And those white-soled cloth shoes, stepping in the dust, getting closer step by step...

It turns out that the person who saved her was the person who killed her.

She has never understood how Chen Quan colluded with the government, stole money and food from Lujiazhuang, and escaped unscathed.

It turned out to be Zhou Yang, the Marquis of Wu'an and General Lin behind him.

With them, Chen Quan was able to obtain money and food and the uprising was successful.

It was also because of them that Chen Quan was able to ride on Jinling and sit on the big chair in the Jinluan Palace.

"It's me."

Zhou Yang clenched the blue and white Ganoderma lucidum-patterned golden bell cup in his hand, with an unpredictable expression, "I was indeed among the people who went to Lujiazhuang that day, but I was just a little behind others. I didn't kill your father, and neither did Lujiazhuang."

Burnt..."

"You lied."

Lu Xiangge was trembling all over. She clenched her hands and told herself in her heart to strive for success. It was Chen Quan who was wrong, the person in front of her, not her.

They were sorry to the Lu family and to her.

She should snap at him, scold him, and spit in his face.

Lu Sheige gritted his teeth and said word by word: "Zhou Yang, you lied."

"Before Lujiazhuang was burned, did you receive news that you wanted to help Qingfeng Village get a batch of grain? This food is in Lujiazhuang. And you happen to be from the previous dynasty, your uncle is Wu'anhou, and your uncle is Lin

General

.As a former dynasty, he slandered the owner of Lujiazhuang, Lu Yuanshan, as a bandit, and then in the name of suppressing bandits, he killed Lu Yuanshan and burned Lujiazhuang. Then, he shipped out the money and food from Lujiazhuang and delivered it to Chen Quan in Huaicheng."

Lu Xiuge has deduced the cause and effect of this incident countless times. She has always known that Chen Quan and the old ministers of the former dynasty were in collusion. Otherwise, Dongyang County and Nanyang would not have fallen into the hands of the Hongying Army without any effort. The Huaicheng Uprising

When the time comes, money and food will not be so abundant.

But at that time, she could never find out who was the person who could make Dongyang County and Nanyang County obey orders at the same time.

When she went to the Zhenguo Palace today, she doubted Prime Minister Gongsun, suspected Chiang Yushi, doubted Qi Yuan, the Minister of Rites, and doubted all the people who could still hold high positions despite the change of dynasties.

These people are all former officials of the former dynasty.

When Chen Quan ascended the throne, only those who could secure official positions were the most suspicious.

But she didn't expect that this person would be Zhou Yang.

Only he could make General Lin give up defending his family and the country, and become an accomplice to the tiger, leading the Lin family army to switch sides halfway and join the Hongying Army to defeat the capital.

Only he could allow Marquis Wu'an to serve as an internal response in the capital. When the Hongying Army attacked the city, he could find a way to open the city gate and let the Hongying Army march straight in and directly into the palace.

He was the only one who, because of his status, cooperated inside and outside the palace and helped Chen Quan sit on the throne.

When the city was destroyed and the palace fell, it was Zhou Yang who strangled Princess Anyang of the previous dynasty with his own hands in front of his father, and forced his uncle to exterminate his own brothers.

Zhou Yang is the only one left in the second room of the Zhou family.

Zhou Yang looked at the girl in front of him whose cheeks were red with anger.

Maybe I was wearing brocade today. The gorgeous brocade made the people in front of me look like bright stars and the moon.

She is so smart that she can pull off the thread and figure out all the causes and consequences.

Over the years, he watched her grow from a little farm girl to a fisherman, and finally step into the capital on her own strength.

Such a smart girl is a chess piece he left behind from back then.

What he was thinking at the time was that if this chess piece could be used, then he should make the best use of it.

If this chess piece is useless, just think that you have done a good deed and saved an innocent little girl.

Zhou Yang never imagined that the chess piece from back then would become a sharp blade.

At this moment, the sharp tip of the knife was glowing with cold light, facing him.

If he was not careful, he might end up in a life-or-death situation today.
