Dare to Live Up to the Country and Live Up to Your Honor Ⅰ

Yan Xi looked at Shen Congliang and said: "Since half a year ago, the information sent to the emperor by Hongdumen has been false, and many innocent people have been implicated as a result. The emperor has been kept in the dark about this, but you all know it. But you have been deceiving the emperor and the people all over the world, so what is the use of keeping such a person who is unfaithful to the emperor and unrighteous to the people?"

"We really didn't know whether the information was true or not at the beginning." Hongniang Sun argued eagerly, but the emperor's complexion was getting worse and worse.

"Even if you didn't know it at the beginning, why didn't you tell the emperor when you found out later?" Yanxi looked at the people in front of him with a sneer, and continued, "Even later, after the emperor had noticed something, you were also colluding, and you actually took Sun The matchmaker pushed her in front of the emperor, how does the emperor know that she is also one of yours?"

Hongniang Sun's face turned red and she bowed her head in silence.

Shen Congliang didn't change his face, his heart didn't beat, he looked at Yan Xi strangely and didn't say a word of rebuttal.

"I think you originally wanted to find the traitor who provided false information to the emperor?" Yan Xi said noncommittally, but Lan Zhu's eyes widened in surprise. How did he know such a confidential matter?

Shen Congliang snorted softly, turned around and walked aside, and stopped talking, as if he didn't hear Yan Xi's words at all.

Lan Zhu couldn't hold back her temper, she asked eagerly, "How do you know?"

"This should involve one person." Yan Xi said mysteriously.

"who?"

"Wu Mingbao."

The four people in front of them stopped talking, because they knew that the matter had come to an end, and it was useless to say anything else.

Zhao Zhen laughed twice, and asked in a calm tone: "Yanxi, tell me who this Wu Mingbao is, so that we can be sober while sitting here."

"I probably don't need to talk about this. Naturally, someone will explain the relationship between the middle schools." Yan Xi walked aside with a smile, as if waiting for someone.

Suddenly there was commotion outside the cave, but it soon quieted down, and then a man in black walked into the cave, followed by Gongsun Mingyue and Zhan Pei.

The man in black did not cover his face with a black veil, and the scar on his face from his forehead to the corner of his mouth made people shudder. Even if he was caught, the shrewdness in the man's eyes did not retreat in the slightest.

Gongsun Mingyue walked around Pang Ce, as if she didn't see it at all, and was about to kneel in front of Zhao Zhen, but he stopped him and said, "Okay, don't kneel, let's explain the matter clearly."

Gongsun Mingyue straightened her body, looked at the four of Shen Congliang and said with a smile: "Today is so full of people, what a good day."

"I think it's a good day for you, right?" Sun Hongniang glanced at Gongsun Mingyue and said angrily.

"It's a good day for everyone." Gongsun Mingyue's eyes never stayed on Pon Ce from the beginning to the end, as if there was no such person in the cave at all.

Pang Ce stared at him intently, even on such a hot summer night, his face was still pale, maybe the cold disease in his body was about to break out again, how could he save his life this time?

Gongsun Mingyue walked up to the man in black, stared at his face and said, "Do you know who this man is?"

Everyone was silent, wondering who it was, Shen Congliang walked up to him, looked him up and down, shook his head after a long time, and stepped back again.

Gongsun Mingyue looked at the people around with a smile. He knew that many people did not know who he was, but if the mask on his face was removed, there would be quite a few people who knew him.

He nodded slightly at Zhan Pei, and Zhan Pei immediately walked up to the man in black knowingly, and lifted off a layer of fake skin on his face with his hands.

Shen Congliang suddenly called out: "Wu Mingbao."

The man in black in front of him was pretending to be Wu Mingbao, who had been missing for a long time. He looked at Shen Congliang and said with a chuckle, "Master, you didn't expect that, did you?"

Shen Congliang was a little excited, he strode forward and was about to grab his collar, but was stopped by Zhan Pei, he said with a smile: "Master Shen, you still want to kill someone?"

"Everything happened because of him, and it has something to do with me, so why should I kill people to silence it?" Shen Congliang helplessly spread his hands, as if all this had nothing to do with him.

"It doesn't matter, it's not up to you." After speaking, Zhan Pei walked to Gongsun Mingyue.

Gongsun Mingyue watched Shen Congliang's performance silently, then turned to Zhao Zhen and said, "Your Majesty, this person was originally from Hongdumen, but his position is special, so Shen Congliang is so afraid of him."

"He is..." Zhao Zhen asked curiously.

"This person was originally the recorder of the Hongdumen, and he must have known many shady things about Shen Congliang." Gongsun Mingyue stared at Shen Congliang's unnatural expression and said, "For example, creating private punishments, robbing women, And sharing money with the emperor, etc., Mr. Shen, am I right?"

Shen Congliang's expression became even more unnatural, and he stammered a little: "You... What evidence do you have?"

"He is the best evidence." Gongsun Mingyue pointed at Wu Mingbao and said, "I think after listening to what he said, you will know what it means to be self-inflicted."

Wu Mingbao stared at Shen Congliang viciously, the hatred in his eyes seemed to burn him out.

"Do you remember that two years ago, you snatched a girl named Xiaoxiang from Yulan Township?"

Shen Congliang seemed to search for this person in his memory, but after a long time, he had to shake his head helplessly and said, "I don't remember."

Seeing Shen Congliang's indifferent expression, Wu Mingbao couldn't help but took a step forward, gritted his teeth and said, "She is my daughter, she is only 16 years old, and she was spoiled to death by you."

"She is your daughter?" Shen Congliang looked at Wu Mingbao in astonishment, how could this be possible.

"16 years ago, I was a high-spirited scholar, and I only wanted to get fame, but once I went shopping, I took a fancy to a fan, but I didn't want anyone to take a fancy to this fan, it was a long follow-up. A girl like a fairy, I was deeply fascinated by her, and I vowed to marry her, but later I found out that she was a prostitute, and my parents didn't agree with me marrying every fireworks girl, so after making eachother's vows with her , I was driven to the capital by my parents to take the imperial examination, and I originally thought that I could still come to her after I was in high school, but that time I lost my name to Sun Shan, and finally returned to my hometown without the face, so I wandered in the capital for two years." Wu Mingbao's eyes were a little bit Empty, it seems that everything has returned to the past again, "When I returned to my hometown two years later, she was no longer there. I searched all the places and asked many people about her whereabouts, but the results were all fruitless. , just when I was about to give up, a woman brought a three-year-old girl to my house to look for me. When I knew all this, it was already ten years later, she wrote me a letter, entrusting her daughter Xiaoxiang to me, because she had passed away not long ago."

There was no sound in the cave, and it was extremely quiet. Wu Mingbao suddenly twitched softly. The past should have disappeared, but facing his enemy, he still couldn't restrain the pain in his heart. After a while, he continued: "But when I found Xiaoxiang, she didn't want to recognize me at all. No matter how I persuaded her, she kept running away. I couldn't always watch her at home, and my parents didn't agree to leave her behind. So on a moonless night, she ran away completely, and I never found her again until you appeared." After he finished speaking, he stared at Shen Congliang with wide eyes.

"At that time, Hongdumen had just been established, and you were collecting evidence for the emperor all over the country. In fact, it was nothing more than holding a chicken feather as an arrow, doing things that were neither human nor ghost, and you came to find me as the palm book. Originally, I wanted to refuse, but you brought something that didn't belong to you at all."

"What?" Shen Congliang spoke anxiously, as if he had never expected this to happen.

"That's the string of beads on your wrist." Wu Mingbao pointed to the beads on Shen Congliang's wrist and said, "That's not yours, it's the only thing that Xiaoxiang's mother left for Xiaoxiang. As a token of love for her, there can be a small poem on each prayer bead, which I found someone to carve one by one according to my notes, and I will never find a second one."

Shen Congliang threw the beads to the ground at once, and there were too many emotions in his eyes that people could not understand.

Wu Mingbao immediately stepped forward to pick up the beads, and held them close to his chest like a treasure. He closed his eyes, as if the past scenes were right in front of him, and they hadn't left yet.

Gongsun Mingyue suddenly said indifferently: "I think Mr. Shen also liked Xiaoxiang at that time, right?"

Shen Congliang turned his head to look at Gongsun Mingyue, and seemed to have something to say, but he still didn't say it.

Wu Mingbao suddenly said excitedly: "He likes Xiaoxiang, so he won't let Xiaoxiang's body be exposed in the wilderness, and there are still two dead bodies. She still has his child in her belly." After speaking, he burst into tears , a big man cried like a child helplessly, which moved everyone except one person.

"Sun Hongniang, don't you want to say something?" Gongsun Mingyue asked Sun Hongniang who had no expression.

"What does it have to do with me?" Sun Hongniang's eyes flashed, and she quickly regained her composure.

"Didn't you plan Xiaoxiang's matter?" Gongsun Mingyue's face darkened, and said, "If you want people to know, you have to do nothing."

"Why do you say I did it? What is the evidence?" Sun Hongniang's tone became sharp.

"Ah Jiu, what do you think?" Gongsun Mingyue suddenly turned around and asked Ah Jiu.

How could Ah Jiu have thought that Gongsun Mingyue would point the finger at him, so he panicked all of a sudden, not knowing what to say, so he had to remain silent.

"What's the matter with Guan Ajiu?" Sun Hongniang asked relentlessly.

Gongsun Mingyue sighed deeply and said: "Sun Hongniang, you know best whether you did it or not, even if Ah Jiu didn't say it, no one in Hongdumen would say it, but everyone knows it, but only Keep Shen Congliang from him alone."

Shen Congliang turned his head slowly, looked at Hongniang Sun with indifferent eyes and said, "Why did you do this?"
