Gu Chengyu looked at Liang Zhirui silently, his eyes full of inquiry. When Liang Zhirui saw Gu Chengyu's deep eyes staring at him closely, he realized that he had lost his composure.
"What is her relationship with Xue Haozhen?" He suddenly asked this question without replying.
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 he seemed to have heard that during the house raid, Xue Shiqian's wife Yao was giving birth to a child. Could that child be the granddaughter that the disciple is talking about now?
Then he thought for a long time, and then said: "Is it easy to file a complaint? A girl's family should not be acted on impulse. What's more, she is still a remnant of the Xue family. If she files a complaint, isn't she asking for death? Since she can survive by chance.
, then why are you still clinging to this, live a good life!"
Liang Zhirui's hand holding the back of the chair had blue veins. Gu Chengyu looked at him steadily and said: "She is very persistent. She believes that the Xue family was an unjust case back then, and she must clear up the injustice for the Xue family. The students can't persuade her, this
It is her own choice, and students have no right to interfere."
"Teacher, do you think there is nothing fishy about what happened back then? Don't you have any doubts at all? Xia Qing was also involved in this matter back then, and his personality as a teacher is clear. What's more, he was already in collusion with Daxing, and maybe he was involved in it.
Guess. Of course, this is just the student’s guess!”
Gu Chengyu thought of Xia Qing. If Xue Haozhen and Xia Qing were indeed collaborators, then why would Xia Qing be involved in this matter?
"Don't ask about what happened back then. Anyway, it's Xue Haozhen's fault that Mr.
She has no worries about food and clothing, so don't think about it anymore. Marrying a girl is the right way."
After Liang Zhirui finished speaking, he opened the secret compartment on the desk, took out a stack of banknotes, and handed it to Gu Chengyu.
"Although Xue Haozhen was hateful back then, many of his tribesmen were innocent. Since I collected evidence and implicated him back then, I will give her granddaughter some money as compensation today!"
Gu Chengyu suddenly felt as if a big stone was pressing down on his heart, and he was so panicked!
"The student just said that she is very stubborn and unwilling! Is there something that the teacher is hiding from me? We have been teachers and students for many years. Is there anything we can't say? Even if the facts are different from the verdict of the year, the student will handle it as appropriate.
No one is as close as us, but the students always treat the teacher as my relative."
Gu Chengyu's words were a test and a statement. If Liang Zhirui really did such a thing, wouldn't it involve the teacher if Liu Su'er goes to file a complaint tomorrow?
As long as the teacher said it, he would not hesitate even if it went against his own conscience.
"What? Is it possible that you still doubt me?" Liang Zhirui's eyes widened and he couldn't help but yell angrily. Does this young disciple mean that he doesn't believe himself?
Although he was touched that the young disciple had abandoned his own principles for him, he did not want to see such a young disciple. This Jin Yu was too affectionate and would definitely be manipulated by someone important in the future.
"I want to see her!" Liang Zhirui calmed down and thought it would be better to meet the girl.
"She won't see you, as she said before, and she also said that you are their Xue family's enemy!"
Liang Zhirui was so angry that he trembled with anger. He threw the banknote on the desk and said, "Okay! In that case, I won't interfere anymore. I want to see if the Xue family can frame me again."
"Why didn't the teacher tell the students in detail what happened back then?" Gu Chengyu almost flew into a rage when he saw Liang Zhirui. It was obvious that he was furious.
"Everything I said is true. Back then, Xue Haozhen not only collaborated with the enemy, but also slandered me. Finally, I and other ministers collected ironclad evidence, and then he was brought to justice. Now that his descendants are here, they dare to slander me.
, is it possible that she still holds some perjury in her hand that slanders me?" Liang Zhirui raised his finger towards the angry finger and pointed at Gu Chengyu and asked.
Gu Chengyu frowned, Xia Qing was dead, and Xia's house had been ransacked. Even if there was any evidence, it no longer existed.
"Teacher, why don't you tell the students about what happened back then in detail? Maybe there is something inside. This matter involves your reputation, and students will not allow anyone to slander your character!"
Gu Chengyu stood up and bowed deeply.
Seeing this, Liang Zhirui sighed deeply.
"Since you want to know, I have nothing to say to others. I have been upright and aboveboard all my life, how could I do such despicable things as frame others? The only thing I feel guilty about in this life is Sister Xian and you. That's all!
Then let’s talk to you here!”
Liang Zhirui sat back at the desk again, and Gu Chengyu suddenly felt relieved. As long as the teacher is willing to say it, it shows that the teacher is not ashamed at all.
"In those days, Xue Haozhen became the chief minister, and his power in the court was at its peak. Since Emperor Huiming came to the throne, he has also relied heavily on him, not to mention that he was an old man who was used by Emperor Gaozu, so he naturally showed some respect. But this Xue Haozhen
He was so ambitious that he colluded with Prince Wei Dan of Daxing. This is evidenced by the intercepted correspondence at that time. This evidence of crime should now be kept on file in the Third Division."
"Back then, I was still the Minister of Household Affairs, the Dayan Dynasty had just been established, and the national treasury was squandered by the war. I was worried about money. Who would have thought that there would be officials impeaching Xue Haozhen for extorting bribes, occupying fertile land of merchants, etc. Of course I was angry. After verification,
When they found it to be true, they listed the charges one by one and impeached him. The charge of collaborating with the enemy was jointly carried out by several officials. When the house was searched, a large amount of irrefutable evidence was found, including Xue Haozhen's private seal."
"Later, when he saw that he couldn't evade it, he put the blame on me. Fortunately, the emperor knew my character very well, so he naturally refused to believe him. He couldn't produce evidence of his crime for a while, so I was able to escape.
Tribulation.”
At this point, Liang Zhirui suddenly stopped talking, hesitating to speak.
"Teacher, do you still have something to say?" Gu Chengyu knew that Liang Zhirui had something important to say.
"Actually, Xue Haozhen is my concubine!" Liang Zhirui thought for a while and told Gu Chengyu the truth. After all, he was not an outsider.
"What?" This time it was Gu Chengyu's turn to be surprised. He did not expect that things would turn around like this.
"Why did your concubine become a descendant of the Xue family? With your family background, your family should not be able to support him?"
"It's a long story!" Liang Zhirui sighed, and then spoke.
"Back then, my father built an outhouse, but he kept it secret because he was afraid that my mother would cry. Then she became pregnant in the outhouse, and she always wanted to have a status. But my father was a little henpecked and was unwilling to take her in.
The outer room was naturally unwilling to give up, but she had no choice. But one day she suddenly disappeared, taking the child in her belly with her. Later, when my father investigated the matter thoroughly, he found out that she had hooked up with a descendant of the Xue family.
The Xue family is from a scholarly family, and the outer concubine became a concubine, and because the man could not have children, he kept the flesh and blood of the outer concubine."
