Chapter 129 Nanzhou Gentlemen [Please vote for me! 】
After a while, the three of them worked together to knock down all the minions in black.
The scene finally calmed down.
Only then did Liang Yue notice that a large circle of sneaky onlookers had gathered outside the wall. Although this place is not a lively area, it would be strange if no one saw such a big commotion and it was not completely dark.
For the onlookers, the liveliness that is not dangerous is just an open and honest thing to watch.
Watch the dangerous excitement secretly.
Including the troops from the nearby Imperial Guard Station, they had actually arrived a long time ago, but this kind of battle was too high-end for them and they couldn't get involved at all. They only dared to watch from the sidelines, waiting for stronger reinforcements. arrival.
These killers probably wanted to destroy Wei Kangnian and the woodshed together with one continuous strike from the Vulcan Crossbow without any trouble at all. Even if he wasn't killed, he would definitely be in a terrible state after escaping. A fifth-level warrior brought a group of juniors to finish the damage, and there was no oversight.
In other words, within a few breaths, the battle can be resolved and the matter is over.
But he didn't expect that there were three people inside, and they were all so skilled. They fought in person for so long, and were finally captured.
Now that the battle was over, Liang Yue waved to the Imperial Guards over there and told them to come over. There were about a dozen Imperial Guards in that group, and the young guard leading the team was a third-level warrior, so he was very cautious.
Liang Yue said: "I was also an imperial guard before, and I was stationed in Fukangfang not far from here. We are all brothers."
After saying this, everyone was solemn The imperial guards relaxed, "Brother, were you under Lao Hu before? Then we have friendship."
"Brother Hu is my good big brother!" After a brief friendship, Liang Yuecai said: "I am now working in the Zhuxie Yamen. During the handling of the case, I encountered a sneak attack by this group of killers. Fortunately, they did not succeed. These people still have the battlefield here, and I have to trouble you to deal with it."
< br>He used to be in Imperial Guard, and he often did the work of helping people clean up the battlefield.
Now that we have reached the top of the imperial court's biological chain, we can finally command the imperial guards.
The young guard patted his chest and said, "Brother, don't worry. You can just tell me where to take people and what to do."
Wei Kangnian came over over there. He said: "Brother Liang, can we discuss something?"
"What's wrong?" Liang Yue asked.
"Can you lend me some money?" Wei Kangnian said: "The store allowed me to stay in the woodshed and didn't charge me for the room. It was kind-hearted. But now because of me, it has made people feel embarrassed. I can’t just walk away because of the loss.”
"You still blame morality." Liang Yue smiled, "I can lend you money, but you have to tell me the truth later."
"Okay." Wei Kangnian nodded seriously.
Then Liang Yue turned his head and looked at Ling Yuanbao with a smile, "Ling Captou, can you lend me some money?"
"How much?" Ling Yuanbao asked .
“Twenty taels.” Liang Yue said.
All his money had been taken away by his mother, leaving only some daily expenses on hand. When I was buying a concealed weapon a while ago, I secretly asked Xiaoyun where the money was hidden, and quietly went to take it out.
The reason why I didn’t tell my mother was because I was afraid that she would feel distressed.
Although buying concealed weapons and drugs are necessary expenses, my mother probably won’t stop her, but in her eyes, these money are used to buy a big house and a big carriage in the future, and it is inevitable to think that most of them have disappeared. Feeling distressed.
Liang Yue thought about not telling his mother for now, and telling her later when he gets rewarded for his meritorious service. Anyway, the money is buried underground, and my mother shouldn’t be a miser enough to take it out and check it out when nothing happens.
The quality of this concealed weapon did not disappoint him.
All I can say is that the money is indeed not wasted.
Ling Yuanbao took out a banknote from his sleeve and said, "I brought some loose silver and a banknote with me when I went out. You can use the whole thing."
< br>Liang Yue took it and took a look, good guy, one hundred and two pieces.
As expected of the eldest lady of the Divine General’s Mansion, she didn’t even blink when she took it out.
When Liang Yue handed it to Wei Kangnian, the other party also exclaimed: "Oh, this is enough to buy my life."
Wei Kangnian took the money and went to compensate the shopkeeper for the woodshed and yard. When the shopkeeper, who was originally looking sad, heard that he had paid twenty taels, he immediately held the scholar's hand tightly, as if he had seen his own son.
His dead woodshed is definitely not worth so much money.
After finishing the aftermath, Wei Kangnian came back, returned the eighty taels he had found, and said, "I will tell you to go back to Zhuxie Yamen, it will be safe there."
The three of them returned to Zhuxie Yamen together. Xie Wenxi arranged for people to interrogate the living killers and found a private room for Wei Kangnian.
He looked around, sat on the chair, and smiled: "I have never lived in such a nice room in my life."
"If you like, you can live here until you take the exam." Xie Wenxi said.
"No need." Wei Kangnian shook his head and said, "I probably don't need it anymore."
Before anyone could ask questions, he said first: "You guessed it right. I was the one who killed Princess Fuyang."
...
This sentence made the expressions of the three people opposite become tense.
Although he said he would tell the truth truthfully, wasn't this too straightforward? Even the investigators were not mentally prepared.
Ling Yuanbao was the first to react. She glanced at Xie Wenxi quietly and asked in a low voice: "Who guessed correctly? Did you guess it?"
Xie Wenxi Shake his head.
Ling Yuanbao looked at Liang Yue again, "Did you guess he killed him?"
Liang Yue did not answer her, but looked straight at Wei Kangnian and asked, "Why?"
Xie Wenxi also motioned for him to start speaking.
“Many people in Nanzhou have died from Milo Xiang in recent years. My father is physically disabled and suffers severe pain every time it is cloudy and rainy. Some people say that Milo Xiang can relieve pain, so my mother gave it to him. I bought some and tried it, and it worked, so he started using Milo incense for a long time. Later, people became crazy and would go crazy if they didn't smell it. But my family was already poor, so I wanted to buy Milo incense for him. Almost bankrupted."
Wei Kangnian put away his usual joking face and spoke seriously.
“One day last year, he secretly went out alone and drowned himself in the river.”
"I already knew that Mi Luoxiang was brought by Princess Fuyang and the Prince Consort, but I hadn't thought about revenge yet. It wasn't until I went to Beijing to take the exam this time that someone from the Wei family contacted me."
He emphasized, "It's the Wei family from the three major aristocratic families in Qingdu. My mother is from the Wei family, but because she forcibly married my father, a soldier in the army who is not from a hundred tribes. They have never recognized my mother. , and they don’t recognize me.”
The three people present have heard about the “hundred tribes” he mentioned.
Nanzhou attaches great importance to blood clans, and the three major families once jointly compiled a book called "Jiuzhou Gaomenlu".
The above classifies the world's aristocratic families into three, six or nine levels, and lists a total of one hundred high-ranking families.
The three major aristocratic families in Qingdu and the four major aristocratic families in Shendu are ranked first, followed by twenty-three clans ranked second, followed by sixty-nine clans ranked third, and those above them are also included. The royal family above the gate is a hundred aristocratic families in total.
They feel that the blood of high-ranking families has been passed down since ancient times, and they are nobler than ordinary people, and everyone outside the hundreds of tribes are inferior people. Children of the clan are not allowed to marry outside the clan. If there is any violation, they will be expelled from the family tree and oppressed in every possible way.
This must be the treatment the Wei Kangnian family received.
However, this high-class clan is most prevalent in Nanzhou, and the further north you go, the less you recognize them.
In Nanzhou, the scrutiny of family name has reached an outrageous level. Even if you are richer, more powerful, and have a higher official position, but my family name is higher than yours, then I will look down on you.
The children of the three major aristocratic families in Qingdu have always been at the top in Nanzhou.
But it’s not so easy to eat outside Nanzhou.
Although the four major families in the city of God are also ranked first, they recognize their true strength more.
Maybe it’s because all the four major families in Shendu must have official power. If you want to have enough prestige in the court and win over enough people, you must respect the talented.
Liang Yue agrees with this.
The trajectory of history tells us that if a dynasty reaches a time when superiors are distinguished based on birth and class barriers are unbreakable, it is not far from its demise.
In fact, the reason is very simple. The bottom layer needs an ascending channel.
It doesn’t matter if you reincarnated insects take up a part of it. If you want to completely block it, then I’m sorry.
People with truly outstanding abilities have strong ambitions and a strong need to test something... If you can't pass the exam, then you will test for rebellion.
If the entire Yin Dynasty were to follow the same lineage theory as those in Nanzhou, the "Records of the High Clan" would sooner or later become a book of life and death.
The room was quiet.
Wei Kangnian continued talking over there.
“The steward of the Wei family said that if I can complete the task of assassinating Princess Fuyang, then they can recommend me to be listed in this scientific examination, and can also assign me a real power official position back to the Qing capital. . If my mother wants, we can both be included in the family tree.”
“I already hate people who sell miluoxiang, so I agree.”
“But now. It's obvious that those Nanzhou nobles want to kill me, and they don't want to keep their promise," Wei Kangnian said angrily, "Of course I will confess them too."
"Tell me in detail how you killed Princess Fuyang." Liang Yue said.
"According to the information they provided, I first attended the banquet, then sneaked out and arrived at Princess Fuyang's bedroom. I heard there was no movement inside and wondered if she had not come back yet. I originally planned to Go in and wait for her. But just as he climbed through the window, he saw her escaping from a secret door in the secret room." Wei Kangnian recalled slowly.
"I stepped forward and strangled her to death. At this time, someone was about to rush out from the secret door. I was afraid of being discovered, so I used a magical power to beat him back."
"You knew there was someone in the secret door, why didn't you kill him?" Liang Yue asked again.
Wei Kangnian shook his head and said: "I don't want to kill people indiscriminately. The poisonous gas in the secret room was so strong that it was about to overflow. He didn't see my face, so beating him back was enough. ”
"That's right." As he spoke, Liang Yue suddenly changed the topic, "Do you know Zhou Xuanci?"
Wei Kangnian frowned, hesitated, and then said: "I've met him a few times, a little bit. Familiar, what's wrong?"
"If we are only slightly familiar..." Liang Yue said in a deep voice: "Why do you want to take the blame for him?"
Good morning.
