Whenever he dreamed back in the middle of the night, the appearance of those clansmen who were numb, struggling, resentful, or begging for mercy tossed and turned in Xue Miao's heart, almost making him collapse.

The Xue family was punished by the nine clans, and the whole house was beheaded. Six hundred and eighty-one lives, just like Gu Chengyu said, blood flowed like a river!

Xue Miao cried so much that her face was full of tears, Gu Chengyu didn't care about him, uncovered the scars in other people's hearts, and didn't give some time to let the family recover?

After a long time, Xue Miao finally stopped her tears. He calmed down the sadness in his heart, and then looked at Gu Chengyu who was leisurely drinking soup in front of him.

"Dare to ask Lord Gu, why did you meddle in this matter? Is it just for political performance, or is it for justice? ”

Xue Miao looked at Gu Chengyu with a hint of sarcasm in her eyes, a court official at such a young age, but he wanted to benefit from such a big case. This is naïve and self-indulgent.

He admitted that Gu Chengyu had some ability, but this matter was not trivial, and it was not something that Gu Chengyu could touch.

People who were as brilliant as their cousin back then failed to turn the tide of this matter, and in the end they ended up being beheaded.

This adult can't even reach the weak crown, can he do this?

"For justice!" Gu Chengyu put down the jade bowl in his hand and said righteously.

When Xue Miao heard this, his eyes immediately sneered a little more than the previous ridicule.

"It's too hypocritical to say that, why do you want to be an official in the imperial examination? Maybe I did have the ambition to serve the country and the people, but more often than not, I wanted to become a superior person and dominate the fate of others. This official is a layman, so naturally he is not exempt from vulgarity. ”

Gu Chengyu wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, knowing that Xue Miao had the intention of opening his mouth.

This is the same as people buying things, you can't pick and choose when you buy things, it's too expensive and unaffordable?

In fact, such people are real buyers, and those who generally don't buy are impatient to even pick and choose.

Xue Miao is disgusting himself now, perhaps because he feels that he is young and incapable, and he can't afford to bear such a burden.

Gu Chengyu's words made Xue Miao's face slow down a little, he could see that Gu Chengyu and those people were by no means in the same group, otherwise it would never be possible to show mercy to his subordinates.

Xue Miao sighed, the look in her eyes a little gloomy.

"Master Gu is a good official, but Xiao Lao'er can't hurt you! The power of those people is huge, and my cousin failed to bring them down, but ended up like this. Master Gu, Xiao Lao'er advises you, don't interfere, stay away from these people, and save yourself from the fire**! ”

What Xue Miao is saying now is from the bottom of his heart, these people are extremely ruthless, and they have always done things by unscrupulous means.

"What? Do you not believe in this official? When Gu Chengyu saw Xue Miao talking about his cousin, he knew that it must be Xue Haozhen.

He admired Xue Haozhen a little, and he was also a little curious.

"I heard that Master Gu is not only literary and talented, but also talented. Since becoming an official, he has done a lot of practical things for the people and the court. Take this disaster relief as an example, who doesn't say that Master Gu is a good official? ”

Xue Miao suddenly changed her words and began to praise Gu Chengyu.

Gu Chengyu raised his eyebrows, this person was cunning, Gu Chengyu knew that he still had unfinished words.

"Master Gu's career will inevitably be open in the future, why should you meddle in this matter? These ghosts and ghosts can't be shaken off if they are touched. It can't be said that in the end, it will be thankless, and it will ruin your good future. That's all the little old man said, please think twice. ”

Gu Chengyu pondered, "Uncle Xue's reminder to this official understands in his heart, but as a court official, since this official has encountered it, and he still knows that there is another hidden story in the past, how can he not pursue it?" Don't you want the truth to be revealed to the world and give your Xue family a clean slate? ”

When Gu Chengyu first entered the Hanlin Academy, he was once assigned to Wenhua Pavilion to sort out books.

At that time, he turned to the wild history of the Xue family's extermination case, and the records in it were different from the history books in many places.

He became interested in this matter, and later specially read the relevant books and historical records. Even by compiling the canon, I also looked through the dossier.

Xue Miao, formerly known as Xue Haogui, is a cousin of Xue Haozhen's clan who has not produced five suits, and he is seven in the clan.

Gu Chengyu knew so clearly, it was because Xue Haogui had been living in the Xue Mansion and taking care of the business for the Xue Mansion.

Xue Haogui's father and mother died early, and he studied with the clan for a few years, but he had no talent.

Later, Xue Haozhen saw that he was very clever and a cousin, and his life was very hard, so he asked him to take care of the business for Xue's house.

Xue Haogui often walks outside on behalf of the Xue Mansion, and Xue Haozhen's father and son were in full swing back then, so others naturally gave Xue Haogui some face.

Therefore, many people in the capital know Xue Haogui and know that Xue Haogui's status in Xue Mansion is not low. But when the house was raided, the court did not find Xue Haogui.

Later, I heard that Xue Haogui knew that the Xue Mansion was about to collapse, so he took a lot of Xue money and fled.

There are also records in the wild history that he was seriously ill and died, but there is no accurate answer anyway.

So Gu Chengyu guessed that this person may still be alive and is still an insider in the case of collusion with foreign countries.

Gu Chengyu always thought that there was a big secret in this, but it was a pity that he couldn't see the detailed file of the third division. Judging from the records in the history books, there are many doubts.

"Seventeen years have passed since this case, and now the Xue family is long gone. Since Master Gu is not afraid of power, then Xiao Lao'er will tell you about this. But Xiao Lao'er's knowledge is also limited, and I ask for your understanding. ”

Gu Chengyu gestured and asked Xue Miao to sit down and said.

"Our Xue family is also a scholarly family, cousin Xue Haozhen is a twenty-eight years of Tanhualang when Emperor Jiaren, an official for twenty-three years, and before being demoted, he was an official and worshiped the first assistant of the cabinet. His son Xue Shiqian just and weak crown, he won the Jinshi, and since then the Xue family was born as a double Jinshi, and the scenery has been unique for a while. ”

Xue Miao was immersed in his own memories, and his eyes still flashed with pride, this is their Xue family.

"After my cousin worshiped the head of the cabinet, his power in the court was like the sky. Even today's Xia Shoufu is not as good as that. It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, and the Xue family had just enjoyed decades of glory before disaster fell from the sky. It was rumored in the DPRK that his cousin had collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country and had colluded with Daxing. ”

Speaking of this, Xue Miao's emotions became excited. His eyes were full of indignation, and his hands were clenched into fists.

Seventeen years have passed, but his memory is still fresh in his mind.

"Who whistled it?" Gu Chengyu asked the most important question.

"Who? Isn't it the current Shoufu Xia Qing? The hatred on Xue Miao's face made Mingmo and the others startled, this was really a sea of blood hatred.

Gu Chengyu was not surprised to hear this, Xia Qing's power in the court was not small, which was inseparable from his ruthless methods.

"Not only him, but there were many people who participated back then, including the former first assistant Liang Zhirui."
