Chapter 597: A Loyal Servant with a Green Blood and a Loy Heart
Emperor Ming Pei's eyes quickly glanced at Xinbao, and he raised his voice and asked, "Are you Mei Chenglin's grandson?"
"Yes." Gu Banmei said calmly: "No need to talk nonsense, I don't intend to live, I just want to reverse the case for my family."
Emperor Ming Pei remained calm: "How do you want to turn this case over?"
Gu Banmei said: "The imperial decree says that everything is a misunderstanding, that Mei Chenglin is a loyal minister of Bi Xue."
A loyal minister with a green blood and a loyal heart? ?
Why is this request so strange? ? Since he has done such rebellious things, he doesn't seem to take the royal family seriously, but he insists on giving Mei Chenglin the posthumous title of "loyal minister", what's the point?
Mei Chenglin is an opportunist, he doesn't care about his reputation at all, so this seems to be of no use to anyone, it seems to be just to give the Mei family an explanation? A confession of "I only want my own peace of mind"? ?
Emperor Ming Pei's mind was spinning, and he said calmly: "But he is not."
Gu Banmei said: "You said he is, he is, a decree to exchange the life of the little princess, it is very cost-effective, isn't it?"
In this sentence, the feeling of "paying debts" is even stronger.
He doesn't seem to really care about the Mei family, he just wants to tell the world that I did it, I lost my life, and I gave the Mei family an explanation! !
There is a feeling of anger, which is not willing.
Emperor Ming Pei suddenly seemed very casual, and said: "Are you from the Red Gang?"
Gu Ban raised his eyebrows.
Xinbao nodded fiercely: "Yes!! Yea, he is a villain!!"
Gu Banmei's hand tightened subconsciously, Xinbao was taken aback, clasping his hand with both hands, Yuan Chen said urgently: "Xinbao don't talk!!"
Gu Banmei glanced at him, but didn't answer.
Emperor Ming Pei was very calm: "I guess, the members of the Red Gang must tell you that you are a descendant of the royal family, right?"
Gu Banmei was startled fiercely.
Emperor Ming Pei said word by word: "Then, I tell you, you are not!!"
Gu Banmei was stunned: "No, this... this is impossible!!"
Emperor Ming Pei was more calm, and said: "When Mei Chenglin first entered the court, he replaced Yan Youzheng in a moment of enthusiasm, and even though he regretted it, this matter was like a guillotine hanging above his head. The rebels took the bait as soon as they threatened, thinking that the red gang was powerful and could really shake the court. So he contributed money and effort, and the gang of rebels was able to develop and grow."
"After the incident was revealed, he regretted it too much, but he couldn't get away. He just wanted to save the root of the Mei family, so he entrusted his second son's concubine, you, after pretending to be the royal family, to Hong. Help, thinking that this is what Yan Youzheng owed him back then."
Yan Youzheng was Emperor Mingpei's cheap nephew, who was the descendant of the third son of the emperor, Yan Yuxiang, who was replaced by Mei Chenglin.
Emperor Ming Pei said slowly: "You have to understand that Yan Yuxiang's identity was extremely sensitive back then. Yan Youzheng was a fish that slipped through the net. The royal family cannot repeat the same mistakes. All descendants of the Mei family have to learn from their relatives before going to prison. It is certain that everyone has been executed. But why did you escape? Because you were raised outside, Mei Chenglin regretted it a long time ago, and never took you back to the house, just to leave a root for the Mei family. "
He emphasized his tone: "This is not about a loyal servant repaying the master. It's just that your grandfather, Mei Chenglin, took the life of his son and the wealth of the whole family to gamble a lot, but failed completely..."
Emperor Ming Pei originally thought that he was that Mei Jingzhi, but urgently asked someone to investigate. Those who dealt with it all said that it is impossible for anyone to have the opportunity to replace the prisoner.
Although no matter what dynasty or generation, the "replacement of prisoners" and "surrogate death" have always been prohibited repeatedly, but this case was originally caused by the exchange of prisoners, and it is also a major case of treason. Everyone pays special attention to it, and it is impossible to give people another chance .
Therefore, it could only be that they were raised outside, and since the Mei family had never heard of any child who died young, it could only be that the child was born outside.
After all, he is not a genius for impostors, and there is no need for others to set up tricks since he was a child.
But the time is too short, and nothing has been found yet. Therefore, most of what Emperor Ming Pei said was speculation, and he created an argument that could attract his mind based on Gu Banmei's various performances.
Sure enough, Gu Banmei was so surprised that he even forgot to answer.
Seeing that the timing was almost up, Emperor Ming Pei said again: "If you don't believe me, I have found your grandfather's long follower. He was the one who took you out of the capital when the accident happened in the Mei Manor. You should know him."
Immediately, a rickety old man was pushed out and staggered.
When Gu Banmei saw it, his expression changed.
He didn't know anyone from the Mei family, he was just taken aback.
The old man's hair was gray, and there were two deep scars on his face, intertwined, his whole face was ugly and unhuman.
He shook his lips and murmured: "Master Sun, the younger one is Mei Si!! Do you remember the younger one!! It was the younger one who carried you out..."
Because the scar hurt his lips, he spoke with an obvious leak: "Well, that Zheng Jian slapped me and slashed me twice. I was lucky enough to save my life. How many years have passed since then? Young Master Sun..."
Zheng Jian is his senior brother.
Gu Banmei was horrified, and took a closer look at him.
I saw the scar on his face, and I could still vaguely see the trace of scrolling back. It really was the scar of the fish-scale sword used by Zheng Jian! !
Looking closely, his hands were covered with calluses, his crotch was also soaked with sweat and blood, and his legs were also curled up. It was obvious that he was worn out after being put on the horse's back after driving for a long time.
Gu Banmei couldn't hide his panicked look: "You, what do you know?"
The old man moved his lips with difficulty: "Master Sun, you are really the grandson of the master, the younger one lives near your house, and secretly protects you..."
Gu Banmei was suddenly slightly absent-minded.
He seems to be really impressed.
That's right, the place where he lived when he was a child had a small yard, not like everyone's yard. He still remembered that the stones on the steps at the door were extremely smooth. He sat on them wearing crotch pants, and it was hot...
Xinbao wanted to take the opportunity to push his hand away and hide in the space, but although he was absent-minded, his hand was tightly held, she couldn't get in at all, even if she wanted to bite him, she couldn't reach it!
I could only look at my relatives helplessly and shed tears silently.
The old man continued: "The little one finds excuses every day to walk away from your house. At first you hid, but later you got to know each other better, and even smiled at me when you saw me, little one..."
He touched the scar on his face, and tears fell from the scar: "Young Master Sun, you can't recognize it now."
Gu Ban could not bear it, and whispered: "I still remember a little bit."
The old man said happily: "I know that Young Master Sun has been clever since he was a child! I won't forget... Young Master Sun, that Zheng Jian is not a good thing!! At that time, the master said, if something happens to the house, ask the young one to hug you immediately Go to Zhuangzi, light three lanterns and wait for someone. After waiting for two days, Zheng Jian came, and after asking a few words, he hugged you and asked the little one to follow him, and then the little one stepped on the threshold, and he returned I just slapped my hand a little..."
