At the beginning, there is smoke coming out of the ancestral grave, and the woman is busy in the imp

Chu Heng turned his head to look at the young man in red robe, waved to her, and said softly: "Thank you, come with me."

With both hands, they held the blue cloth and pulled it down at the same time.

The tombstone made of basalt is visible to everyone.

Only the upper half is visible, and it only says that it is the tomb of the ancestor of the Xie family, with a surname but no name.

As for the lower half... Chu Heng half squatted down and shook his head to refuse the handkerchief handed to him by Xie Yuheng.

He raised his hand and grabbed the hem of Chu Chen's robe, who had come to join in the fun, and wiped the dust off the inscriptions one by one.

Chu Chen wanted to cry but had no tears, and he wished he could slap himself twice on the spot.

I told you to join in the fun, join in the fun!

Xie Tinghai was stunned. How could he watch such a scene of "brotherly love and respect"?

The dust on the inscription gradually faded away, and the mud on Chu Chen's court dress gradually increased.

But when Chu Heng's eyes fell on the inscription, he frowned, stood up, and glanced at the ministers who had no time to retract their heads.

"Who is proficient in Qi Li?"

Upon hearing this, a censor in blue had a gleam of light in his eyes.

He exchanged a glance with Chi Guanxu who looked back, and stepped out of the line and said, "I will meet you!"

Chi Song, who had been secretly observing Chi Guanxu, made several choices in his mind, gritted his teeth, and followed him out.

Chi Song bowed deeply, lowered his eyes and said, "This man is the censor of the Censorate, and the Marquis of Jiangling is also the Left Censor-in-Chief."

"Your Majesty, is this inappropriate?"

As soon as these words came out, fire almost burst out of Chi Guanxu's eyes.

Not good enough to do anything, but always bad! You are such a fool with no sense of propriety!

Chu Heng looked at him deeply, and seemed to be convinced, so he waved his hand, "Well, do you know anyone else who knows Qi Li?"

The Minister of Rites, Ye Zhongliang, hesitated and said, "I vaguely remember that the Director of the Imperial Observatory seemed to know something."

"Xuan!"

Xie Yuheng's eyelids twitched. She remembered this director of the Imperial Observatory. Her teacher had asked him to calculate a good day for moving.

As a result, when the auspicious time arrived, it started to rain heavily!

Soon, the unshaven-bearded director of the Imperial Observatory entered the hall.

After greeting, he walked to the side of the stele and translated word by word: "I, Yang Zhiyun. I heard about the injustice of Shao Bao and was extremely sad, but I am a lowly official and my words are not taken seriously..."

"I heard that Shao Bao's descendants wanted to move away from Qiantang, so I personally carved this inscription to inform future generations..."

As soon as the inscription was read, Chen Qiu brought Lu Sheng back to the hall.

Lu Sheng's eyes were red, and there was a pile of tortoise shells in his robe.

Even the Grand Master couldn't help but sigh when he saw this: "Lu Huaqi is thoughtful."

If it is paper, bamboo slips, or cloth or brocade, it is likely to be damaged over the long years.

Only the tortoise shell, as long as it is not damaged by gravity, will not be easily eroded by time.

The director of the Imperial Observatory then translated the Qi characters on the tortoise shell one by one, revealing the conspiracy of the Chi and Shi factions.

In the end, he even cursed Emperor Yingzong of Qi, as if Lu Huaqi had already guessed it.

By the time someone speaks up for Xie Qian, Qi will have been destroyed!

But he never thought that he would have to wait for more than 500 years...

Many officials from the capital looked at Chi Guanxu with contempt.

"So this is how the Chi family made their fortune."

"They murdered loyal ministers and confused right and wrong. They are indeed from the same bloodline!"

The officials who had been despised by the aristocratic families echoed: "That's right, they still regard themselves as a family of scholars and scholars, tut tut..."

When had Chi Guanxu ever been humiliated by such words? His eyes were bloodshot, and he gritted his teeth and said, "I have no merits, but I have worked hard, Your Majesty!"

Only a few people can understand this.

It means that when Chu Heng's army was at the gate of the city, it was Chi Guanxu who led his men to open the city gate.

He was the one who secretly planned to eliminate the original eight great families in Shangjing one by one for Chu Heng, and now he is getting rid of them?

Chu Heng chuckled and walked back to the platform.

Chi Guanxu added, "Besides, my son and the servants witnessed the literary banquet at the Marquis of Jiangling's mansion that day. Thank you for the tablet of Ping'an."

"Perhaps Marquis Jiangling has long known about the feud between the Xie and Chi families, and may have deliberately set up a trap to guide them."

Chu Heng sat back on the dragon throne, looking down at Chi Guanxu meaningfully.

"Chi Song, your father said that you saw Xie Ping'an's tablet. Is that true?"

"Your Majesty..." Chi Song's throat rolled several times, and he quickly replayed today's events in his mind.

He said in a deep voice: "I have never seen Xie Ping'an's tablet in Jiangling Marquis Mansion."

Chi Guanxu looked back, his eyes filled with anger of betrayal.

He suppressed his anger and said earnestly, "Song'er, I know you resent your father for not bringing you and your mother to your side when you were young."

"But being a father also has difficulties. How could you, how could you...Alas!"

Chi Guanxu shook his head as he spoke, as if Chi Song was a rebellious son who was inconsiderate to his father.

Chi Song wanted to laugh when he heard this. How could he not understand the deeper meaning of this? He was threatening his mother's life?

But his mother, she died a long time ago...

Died on the busy street, died in the spring of the ninth year of Yongping...

The more Chi Song thought about it, the funnier it became, so he actually laughed out loud, a laugh that was tragic and miserable.

"Oh my god, is Chi Song crazy?"

"It's hard to say! I heard that his son died a few days ago. Maybe he was too sad?"

Suddenly, with a "bang", Chi Song knelt down straight, then raised his hand to take off his official hat.

"To be honest, I am not the son of the Chi family."

Chi Guanxu roared, "Song'er, have you lost your mind? Your mother is still waiting for you to come back home!"

However, his roar was like the roar of a dying beast and did not affect Chi Song at all.

Oh no, it should be Shen An.

"I am from Yanzhou, my real name is Shen An. My parents are farmers, I just hope I can live a peaceful and smooth life."

"My father died early, and I depended on my widowed mother for support... The caravan of the second master of the Pianchi family passed through Yanzhou and saw that the common people were talented and knowledgeable."

"They kidnapped me and my mother and pretended to be Chi Guanxu's mistress and son."

As Shen An spoke, his fingers were shaking slightly, as if carrying endless grief.

"Chi Guanxu used my mother's life as a threat, and asked me to do things for him and let him do whatever he wanted."

"But my mother has passed away long ago..."

Shen An's voice was hoarse, and the grief in his eyes almost solidified.

"I have been lurking in the Chi Mansion for many years, hoping to find evidence against Chi Guanxu, but he has never let go of his grudge."

"What we have now is only a list of the officials he colluded with in the court, and some confessions that contain no actual evidence of guilt."

Some officials twitched their lips. What did they mean by "It's just a list of colluding officials."

Isn't that enough? It's enough to chop off so many heads!

Chu Heng asked, "Where is the list you mentioned?"

Shen An stood up, took off his right shoe, and removed his shoes and socks.

He took out a piece of paper wrapped in a handkerchief and handed it to the eunuch who came forward.

Seeing this, Chi Guanxu laughed out loud, "Hahahaha, Shen An, you are an ungrateful bastard!"

Shen An replied indifferently: "Master Chi, thank you for your praise. I learned all this from the Chi family."

"When it comes to ungrateful people, no one can compare to the Chi family!"

"After all, the biggest ungrateful person is your nephew, Wusun Kunmo Helianqing, isn't he?"
