Chapter 808: Chi Yan’s Unjust Case, Master of Langya Pavilion

More than a month later, Lin Shu asked Wei Zheng and others who went out to inquire about the situation more than once, what was the situation in Jinling City now, and what consequences had the Battle of Meiling caused.

Although the area they are currently in is very far away from Jinling City, after more than a month, the Battle of Meiling, Chiyan's rebellion, and King Qi's rebellion have already spread throughout the world. Wei Zheng and others who went out to inquire for information have already spread all over the world. , naturally also knew the news.

However, they never dared to tell Lin Shu and Zhou Chen because they were afraid that they wouldn't be able to accept it. Zhou Chen was okay. He only had his mother as a relative in the family. Because of Zhou Chen's mother's special status and Zhou Chen was not the main culprit, Zhou Chen was not the main culprit. Chen's mother's life is not in danger.

But the Lin family and King Qi's lineage were in dire straits, so miserable that they didn't dare to tell Lin Shu because they were afraid that Lin Shu wouldn't be able to bear the stimulation and his injuries would be aggravated.

Although Lin Shu was poisoned and had difficulty moving recently. He was also affected by emotions and his judgment had declined, but it did not mean that he had become stupid. How could he not see the deliberate evasion of Wei Zheng and others?

So today, Lin Shu directly ordered them to tell him what they had found out, and they were not allowed to hide anything.

The dozen or so former members of Chi Yan present did not speak, and all looked at Wei Zheng in unison.

Although the Red Flame Army no longer exists, they still regard themselves as members of the Red Flame Army. Here they belong to Lin Shu, with Zhou Chen and Wei Zheng having the highest positions.

So they naturally looked at Wei Zheng, who had also prevented them from telling Lin Shu and Zhou Chen the truth before.

When Wei Zheng saw the look in Lin Shu's eyes, he knew that the matter could no longer be concealed, so he sighed unbearably and began to tell Lin Shu the information he had found out.

It turned out that after the battle of Meiling, Emperor Liang immediately executed the Lin family. All members of the Lin family, including servants and concierges, were executed. Some people with high positions were even killed by the Yi tribe. Some officials and soldiers in Jinling City who had a good relationship with the Lin family were also implicated.

In less than a month, more than 10,000 people have been executed because of Chi Yan's case, and this is far from over. The court is still collecting evidence of Lin's crime, but no one involved in Lin's case has been found. Good ending.

The person most involved is Emperor Liang's most outstanding son, King Qi.

In Daliang, although King Qi was not the prince, he only lacked the title of canon. In fact, the power he possessed was not much different from that of the prince.

But this time, because of the Chiyan case, he became the rebel king who wanted to rebel and usurp the throne. On the day the Chiyan case occurred, he was imprisoned in the Hanzihao cell in Tianlao, and soon after, he was granted the title of "Rebellion" by Emperor Liang. Poisoned and drunk, he died unjustly in the Hanzihao Heavenly Prison.

After King Qi died, Emperor Liang did not stop the slaughter. Instead, he captured everyone in King Qi's house. Only some of the guests in King Qi's house were well-informed and escaped in time. The rest were also executed.

As the mistress of the Lin family, Lin Xie's wife, Lin Shu's mother, and the eldest princess of Jinyang in Daliang, committed suicide in the Lin Mansion.

The eldest princess of Jinyang made the same choice as Emperor Liang's concubine, Concubine Chen, Lin Shu's biological aunt, who also committed suicide with three feet of white silk.

This incident caused a huge sensation in Daliang. Many people wanted to intercede for King Qi and Lin, but they were regarded as rebels and arrested by the Xuanjing Division.

The ruthlessness of Emperor Liang and Xuanjing Si made everyone remain silent, not daring to say another word of objection for fear of being implicated and purged.

Although Lin Shu had been mentally prepared for it, when he learned all this from Wei Zheng, he was still in disbelief and unable to accept it.

"ah……"

Lin Shu wailed in pain, clenched his teeth, and the blood kept flowing down. He suddenly stood up, knelt down in the direction of Jinling, and kowtowed crazily. The force was so strong that the impact made a loud bang, which frightened Zhen Ping and others. Quickly rush over and grab him.

But Lin Shu seemed to have lost his mind at this time, his eyes were blood red, he was struggling and yelling crazily, and five or six people could not hold him down.

Just when Zhen Ping and the others were about to use brute force to restrain Lin Shu, Lin Shu suddenly roared and twitched all over.

"No, the young marshal's fire-cold poison has taken effect. Hurry up and get some blood."

The blood was quickly brought over, and everyone hurriedly fed it to Lin Shu. Because the stimulation he had received before was too much, he couldn't bear it, so after drinking the blood, Lin Shu fell into a coma although he stopped twitching and shaking.

Wei Zheng ordered others to put Lin Shu back into the room, and then he faced Zhou Chen alone.

"Achen, I know that you, like the young marshal, also want to know the situation at home, but don't worry, although your palace has been implicated and many people have died, your mother, Princess Pingyang, has not been harmed. I heard that she was forced to return to the Princess’s Mansion.”

Zhou Chen nodded expressionlessly. He was not surprised by this result. After all, his current status as a mother was unusual.

Although she is not a princess, she is still a princess of the Daliang royal family. More importantly, his mother Princess Pingyang's father is Zongzheng of the Daliang clan, which is equivalent to the elder of the Xiao family of the royal family. Even as the emperor, Emperor Liang , but also give face.

In addition, Zhou Chen was only Lin Shu's lieutenant, and he had not joined the Red Flame Army for a long time, so Emperor Liang knew that you did not implicate Princess Pingyang.

However, the Marquis of Wucheng's Mansion cannot be saved, Zhou Chen is also expelled, there is no Marquis of Wucheng's Mansion in Daliang, and the Zhou family no longer exists.

I have to say that Emperor Liang was really ruthless. He knew very well that Lin Xie had no intention of rebellion, and he even knew that Zhou Chen, a young Wu Chenghou, would not have such thoughts, but he still carried out the execution and even used This time, they solved the rebellion and got rid of countless dissatisfied people.

From the perspective of a superior like Emperor Liang, it is indeed necessary to eradicate the threat. Even if it violates morality, he must maintain the majesty of the imperial power.

This is the ancient imperial power. Anyone who threatens the imperial power is an unforgivable sin.

But for the people below, it was really cruel. Countless innocent people died as a result. It is not an exaggeration to say that blood flowed like rivers.

Zhou Chen, who has lived in modern times for hundreds of years, really felt sad because he once again witnessed the cruelty of ancient feudal society.

He also deeply realized that traveling to ancient society was not something to be happy about.

If you traveled through time and became a noble, it would be fine, and you could experience the pleasure of being a master. But if you traveled through time and became an ordinary citizen, your life would definitely be many times more miserable than in modern urban society.

In modern society, no matter how miserable you are, you won't lose your life at any time, but in ancient times, you could really be killed for just one word.

In his memory, Zhou Chen discovered that his mother in this world was a very gentle and elegant lady. Even after her husband passed away, she could support the entire Hou family by herself and educate her son well. This is not The average woman can do it.

So after he knew that nothing happened to her, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

After learning the truth, Lin Shu was immersed in sadness for the next few days. It was not until a few days later that he regained his energy and prepared to set off for Langya Pavilion.

In just these few days, Lin Shu grew up so much, as if he had become mature all of a sudden, but his eyes were full of hatred, which Zhou Chen and others noticed.

But no one tried to persuade him. At this time, Lin Shu had to rely on this hatred to persist. Without this will, everyone was really afraid that he would not be able to persist.

Their location was relatively far away from Langya Mountain, where Langya Pavilion was located. Zhou Chen and the others hid their bodies all the way and were naturally not efficient.

It took them more than two months to reach Langya Mountain. During the more than two months of traveling, they encountered dangers many times and finally made it through safely. However, they also lost a brother during this journey. , was killed by a sneak attack while fighting with a group of green forest bandits.

There were only about ten brothers left, but one more died, and he died in front of their eyes. Everyone was filled with grief and buried him properly.

Fortunately, although he encountered many dangers along the way, his identity was not exposed, nor did he attract the attention of the Liang court.

Langya Pavilion is located at the top of Langya Mountain. It is a beautiful and elegant manor. There are pavilions and pavilions in the garden, and beautiful servant girls. Outside the garden, there is a wide main stone road that winds down to the official road at the foot of the mountain.

Neither Zhou Chen nor Lin Shu showed up. They were both wrapped up and had bamboo hats on their heads, making it difficult for people to see their differences.

Wei Zheng was still very experienced. According to Lin Shu's instructions, he contacted the receptionist of Langya Pavilion and said that he wanted to visit the master of Langya Pavilion and that he was a good friend of the master of Langya Pavilion.

The welcoming guest went back to report his doubts, and not long after, a handsome young man in his twenties was brought over.

"This is our Young Pavilion Master of Langya Pavilion, Young Pavilion Master Lin Chen. If you have anything you can say to our Young Pavilion Master."

"Young Pavilion Master, these are the guests who want to visit the Pavilion Master."

The person who greeted the guests gave a brief introduction and then stepped aside without saying a word.

When Wei Zheng heard that this person was the Young Pavilion Master of Langya Pavilion, he immediately greeted him in a friendly manner: "Hello, Young Pavilion Master, my master is a good friend of your Pavilion Master. Could you please be accommodating and allow us to meet the Pavilion Master."

Lin Chen glanced at Wei Zheng, then at the others, and finally stopped at Zhou Chen and Lin Shu, who were wrapped up in bamboo hats. His eyes revealed a bit of curiosity.

"The guest said he is my father's friend. Do you have a token?"

His father, the Master of Langya Pavilion, also traveled around the world when he was young. It was not unusual to have good friends, but he was curious when he saw these people hiding their heads and tail.

Wei Zheng wondered: "Young Pavilion Master, we don't have any tokens, but my master is really a good friend of the Pavilion Master."

Lin Chen glanced in the direction of Zhou Chen and Lin Shu and asked, "Are they your masters? Why don't you dare to show your true colors?"

Wei Zheng explained: "My young master is ill and cannot see the light of day, so he is dressed like this. Please forgive me, young master, but my master does have an old relationship with your master. We will never dare to do this." fool."

Lin Chen frowned. Although he had not seen the true faces of Zhou Chen and Lin Shu, he always felt that these people were troublesome.

If an ordinary person wants to buy information, he doesn't need to see his father at all. But when this group of people came to Langya Pavilion, they didn't say they wanted to buy information, but insisted on meeting his father. They also said they were his father's old acquaintances, which shows what the other party wanted. , it is definitely not simple.

Seeing the pleading and sincerity on Wei Zheng's face, and the eager looks on the others' faces, he thought about it and felt that Wei Zheng was not lying, so he nodded.

"Okay, come with me, I will take you to see my father."

Wei Zheng suddenly said excitedly: "Thank you, Young Pavilion Master, thank you, Young Pavilion Master."

Zhen Ping and others were also very happy. Langya Pavilion was now their last hope. Just now they were thinking that if Lin Chen didn't agree, they were ready to break in.

Under the leadership of Lin Chen, Zhou Chen and his group came to a beautiful valley. There was a waterfall in the valley, and the sound of flowing water echoed in the valley.

In front of the waterfall, there was a man in white sitting there. He didn't know whether he was practicing martial arts or comprehending nature.

Lin Chen signaled Zhou Chen and the others to stop, then walked over alone and came behind the man.

"Dad, someone is looking for you, saying he is your old acquaintance."

This person is the current master of Langya Pavilion, Lin Chen's father, Taoist Lin.

Taoist Lin opened his eyes and turned to look at Zhou Chen and others. He was sure that except for Zhou Chen and Lin Shu, who did not show their true colors, he did not recognize the rest of them, so he looked confused: "Old friend? Who?" "

Lin Chen scratched his head and said, "I don't know either, let them tell you themselves."

With that said, he waved to Wei Zheng and motioned for them to come over and talk.

Wei Zheng hurriedly called Lin Shu and Zhou Chen over and walked over. As for Zhen Ping and others, they walked at the end, vaguely protecting Lin Shu and Zhou Chen.

Naturally, their actions like this would not be hidden from the eyes of the Lin family father and son, and they were therefore sure that Zhou Chen and Lin Shu, who had not revealed their true colors, were the real masters.

Taoist Lin glanced at Zhou Chen and Lin Shu and asked, "You said they are my old acquaintances. Who are you?"

Wei Zheng looked at Lin Shu, and after seeing Lin Shu nod, he replied with a serious face: "My master is Lin Xie."

"Lin Xie?"

When Lin Chen heard the name, he almost jumped up in shock: "But the head coach of the Daliang Red Flame Army, Lin Xie?"

Taoist Lin's eyes flashed, and he stood up suddenly, his eyes falling directly on Lin Shu. He saw Lin Shu's nod just now.

Wei Zheng replied: "Yes, my master is Lin Xie."

Lin Chen immediately retorted: "It's impossible. Lin Xie, the leader of the Red Flame Army, is dead. He died in Meiling. Not only him, but also the entire Red Flame Army no longer exists. Who are you?"

Wei Zheng looked sad: "Shuai Lin is indeed dead, but the Red Flame Army has not been destroyed. The reason why we are here today is to ask the Pavilion Master to save our young marshal."

"Young Marshal?"

Lin Chen was still a little confused, but Taoist Lin understood. He looked at Lin Shu in the black robe and asked softly: "Then you should be Brother Lin's son, Lin Shu, right?"

After hearing this, Lin Shu did not show his face, but took off his bamboo hat and black robe, revealing his current face.

"hiss!"

When Lin Chen saw Lin Shu's appearance, he immediately took a breath and exclaimed: "Why are there so many white hairs?"

Taoist Lin, however, had a serious look on his face and walked quickly to Lin Shu. He ignored the hostile eyes of Zhen Ping and others and looked Lin Shu up and down.

After a moment, he said in a solemn voice: "Fire-cold poison, this is fire-cold poison, you have been poisoned by fire-cold poison."

Then he muttered to himself: "That's right. The Red Flame Army was destroyed in Meiling. Snow scale insects are a kind of insect unique to Meiling. No wonder you were poisoned by fire and cold."

Wei Zheng and others were overjoyed when they heard that Taoist Lin recognized at a glance that Lin Shu had been poisoned by fire and cold.

"Master Lin Pavilion, since you know the fire-cold poison, you must also know how to cure the fire-cold poison, right? Please save our young marshal. As long as you can save the young marshal, we are willing to work as cows and horses and listen to your orders for the rest of our lives. .”

Taoist Lin ignored the requests of Wei Zheng and others, stared at Lin Shu for a long time, and then looked at Zhou Chen.

Feeling Taoist Lin's gaze, Zhou Chen also took off his bamboo hat and black robe, revealing the same white hair as Lin Shu.

"My dear, it's another white hair. I really opened my eyes today."

Lin Chen approached with a strange cry, his eyes fell on Zhou Chen for a moment, and for a moment he looked at Lin Shu, as if he was looking at some rare species.

Taoist Lin asked: "It turns out to be fire-cold poison. Who is this little friend?"

Wei Zheng immediately replied: "This is A Chen, Zhou Chen."

After hearing this, Lin Chen pondered: "Like the young commander of the Red Flame Army, he was poisoned by fire and cold. It seems that he also experienced the battle of Meiling. Zhou Chen, surnamed Zhou, could it be Zhou Chen, the young Marquis of Wu Cheng in Daliang?" ?”

Wei Zheng said: "Exactly."

Taoist Lin suddenly sighed heavily and said: "As expected, they are both the sons of old friends. Brother Lin and Brother Zhou are both my old acquaintances. They are also rare heroes in the world. It's a pity, alas..."

Zhou Chen was very surprised to hear that Taoist Lin actually knew his father in this world, but when he thought that Zhou Kuang was a genius no less than Lin Xie when he was young, he was not so surprised.

"Being poisoned by fire and cold, not only will you suffer unspeakable pain every day, but you will also have to drink blood to calm down when the poison attacks. You will also be covered in white hair and unable to speak. It seems that you two have suffered a lot recently. ."

He could see that Lin Shu and Zhou Chen were only eighteen or nineteen years old, so it was really not easy for them to be able to withstand the fire and cold poison.

Wei Zheng and others knelt down in front of Taoist Lin and begged: "Master Lin, please save the young marshal and Ah Chen."

Although Lin Shu did not speak, his eyes were fixed on Taoist Lin. Taoist Lin was now their last hope.

Zhou Chen is better than Lin Shu. He knows that Taoist Lin has a way. Taoist Lin helped Mei Changsu in the plot. I believe it will not be a surprise now.

Taoist Lin sighed: "Fire-cold poison is the most strange poison in the world. It is not that easy to detoxify it."

Lin Shu took a step forward and kept opening his mouth, but he couldn't say normal words and was very excited.

Taoist Lin suddenly reached out and put his hand on Lin Shu's shoulder, comforting him: "My child, don't worry, I will help you."

Lin Shu, who was so emotional, actually calmed down.
