Chapter 597 Loyal minister with green blood and loyal 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 Bixue Daxin."
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 reputation at all, so it seems that this is of no use to anyone, as if it is just to give the Mei family an explanation? A confession of "only for 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 stronger.
He doesn't seem to really care about the Mei family, he just wants to tell the world, I did it, I lost my life, 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 Banmei paused.
Xinbao nodded fiercely: "Yes! Yea, he is a villain!"
Gu Banmei's hand tightened subconsciously, Xinbao was startled, clasping his hand with both hands, Yuan Shen said urgently: "Xinbao don't talk!"
Gu Banmei glanced at him, but did not answer.
Emperor Ming Pei was very calm: "I guess, the members of the Red Gang will tell you that you are a descendant of the royal family, right?"
Gu Banmei was taken aback.
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 is the cheap nephew of Emperor Ming Pei, who is also the descendant of Yan Zixiang, the third son of the emperor, 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 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..."
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, the only possibility is that the child was raised outside, and since the Mei family has never heard of any child who died young, it can only be the child born outside.
After all, he is an imposter, and he is not a genius. 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, so what Emperor Ming Pei said is mostly 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.
Emperor Ming Pei saw that the time was almost up, so he 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 Mansion. 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, interlaced, 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 Ban brows were frightened, and he took a closer look at him.
I saw the scar on his face, and I could still vaguely see the traces of scrolling back. It really was the scar of the fish-scale sword used by Zheng Jian!
Looking closely, his hands are covered with calluses, his crotch is also soaked in sweat and blood, and his legs are also curled up. It is obvious that he was put on the horse's back and driven for a long time, and they are worn out.
Gu Banmei couldn't hide his panicked look: "You, what do you know?"
The old man moved his lips laboriously: "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 stone on the steps at the door was extremely smooth, and he sat on it 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 can only look at my relatives helplessly, and weep silently.
The old man continued: "The little one finds a reason every day to walk away from your house. At first you hid, but later you got to know each other better, and you smiled at me when you saw me, the 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 couldn't 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, Zheng Jian is not a good thing! At that time, the old man said, if something happens to the house, ask the young man to carry you to Zhuangzi immediately. , lit three lanterns and waited 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 turned back A small slap..."
