The wind is blowing

Not long after Xiao Jingyan left, Gao Zhan came out with the imperial decree and read it out.In addition to letting Xiao Jingyan take charge of the retrial of the old case, Emperor Liang also ordered Ji Wang, Yanhou and Dali Temple Zhengqing Ye Shizhen to be the presiding judges.

When everyone knelt down and received the decree, Xiao Jingyan, who had been holding his hand steadily, suddenly felt a little burning in his heart, and involuntarily turned his gaze to Mei Changsu.He did it, trying not to involve Mei Changsu, he really succeeded in this step.

Sensing his gaze, Mei Changsu looked back at him with a smile on his lips.At that moment, it was as if all the burdens on him had been lifted, and his whole body exuded an indescribable sense of ease.

By mid-August, the retrial process was basically over, but because the case involved a wide range of areas, it was not enough to just change the judgment, so it lasted for more than half a month to decide in detail how to change and compensate and pension matters.

At the beginning of September, Xiao Jingyan led three presiding judges into the palace to meet the king, and they stayed there from morning to dusk.Two days later, the Secretary of the Inner Court issued three decrees in succession. The first was to announce that King Zhaoxue Qi, Lin Xie, and 31 civil and military officials involved in the case were charged with treason, and the grievances were spread to all parts of the country; Concubine Chen, King Qi and their descendants entered the imperial mausoleum.And rebuilt Lin's ancestral hall, and both of them resumed ritual sacrifices according to their positions.The survivors of the case were restored and rewarded.For the unjustly deceased, the Ministry of Rites will jointly give their families a double generous pension, and it is scheduled to be on October [-]th.A spiritual altar was set up in the Taiyi Royal Temple, and the emperor led hundreds of officials to offer sacrifices in person to comfort the souls of the dead.However, because Xie Yu was dead and the killing of the corpse was unknown, the investigation was stopped. Except for the princess Liyang who first reported the meritorious service and exempted the two sons, all of the nine clans were implicated.

These three decrees have roughly confirmed the direction of overturning the case, and the next step is for the ministries, divisions and localities to draft detailed rules for implementation.The memorial service on September [-]th was held as scheduled, and the emperor and prince wore plain crowns as a show of respect.Personally burn incense in front of the altar, and burn prayers to heaven.

Xiao Jingyan has now basically undertaken all government affairs, and his busyness has only increased.At that time, the promise that Mei Changsu would tell him everything after two months was delayed again and again because of various things, and even today the two sides have not found a chance to sit down and have a good talk.

After the completion of Lin's ancestral hall, Xiao Jingyan put aside all other matters, and secretly arranged for Mei Changsu to hold a very formal sacrificial ceremony as Son of Man.

On that day, Xiao Jingyan was already waiting in the ancestral hall.Facing the small wooden sign that says "The position of Lin Shu", every time he looks at it, he still feels heartbroken.So much so that when Mei Changsu in filial piety came in, what he saw was Xiao Jingyan's back standing motionless in front of the spirit tablet.

"Jingyan?"

Hearing Mei Changsu's voice, Xiao Jingyan turned around, and the spirit tablet of "Lin Shu" was covered by a piece of red silk.He glanced at Mei Changsu, nodded at him, and only said, "I'll wait for you outside," before leaving the ancestral hall and leaving the place to him.

Sacrifice is painful and solemn. Facing the tablets of the ancestors of the Lin family, Mei Changsu mourned and at the same time recited the events of so many years to his parents one by one.To this day, every time he dreams back at midnight, he can still clearly hear the last words his father said to him:

"Xiao Shu, live on."

Facts have proved that he not only survived, but also successfully vindicated the injustice of the year with Jingyan's help.If the ancestors under the Nine Springs knew, they could rest in peace now.

The only regret left is that due to various reasons, I am afraid that he will not be able to stay behind for the Lin family.The well-known Lin family in Daliang was ruined in his generation. For this crime, he should wait for him to meet the ancestors of the Lin family after his death, and then plead guilty to them one by one.

"Father, mother, I'm sorry."

It had been more than an hour since Mei Changsu walked out of the ancestral hall, and the first thing that caught his eye was the back of Xiao Jingyan standing in the courtyard waiting for him.From the fact that they had almost no chance to meet each other before this, it can be seen how much burden is now on Xiao Jingyan's shoulders.As a close friend who knew his original dream, Mei Changsu felt sorry for him, but there was nothing he could do.

"There have been a lot of things during this time, and I haven't had a chance to have a good chat with you."

Sensing the movement behind him, Xiao Jingyan turned around and smiled at Mei Changsu:

"Today is indeed a good opportunity. If you want to know anything, just ask."

After finishing speaking, he went straight to the stone chair in the courtyard and sat down, and motioned for Mei Changsu to come along.

"Since you have said so, then I will not be polite."

Since the injustice case was ordinary, not only the ancestral hall of the Lin family has been renovated, but also all the ruined places in the Lin mansion have been redecorated.Now that the two of them are sitting in the yard, the surrounding scenery can be regarded as pleasant.

"First question, you... can you know what is going to happen?"

As the son of the commander-in-chief, Mei Changsu received the teachings of celebrities since he was a child.The sage said: The child does not talk about strange powers and gods, what they believe in most is that there are gods above their heads.If not for many phenomena showing this fact, he would not have made such a miraculous but outrageous guess.

"That's it."

Xiao Jingyan didn't find it strange that Mei Changsu asked this question straight to the point. With the other party's exquisite mind, he would be surprised if he couldn't figure it out.

"Second question, will this ability cause any harm to your body?"

How could such a wonderful ability be said to be obtained?Mei Changsu can be sure that Xiao Jingyan absolutely did not have this ability when he was a child, otherwise the Chi Yan tragedy would not have happened.So in his opinion, this ability is likely to be acquired at some price.

Xiao Jingyan didn't expect that Mei Changsu's next question would be this. He thought the other party would ask him why he had this ability, or how he got it.But as long as he thinks that this is an expression of Mei Changsu's concern and concern for him, he feels warm in his heart.

"You can rest assured that there will be no danger. Maybe this is God's compensation for me."

"Why do you say that?"

Mei Changsu was puzzled by Xiao Jingyan's statement.However, Xiao Jingyan did not directly answer his doubts, but instead asked:

"Xiao Shu, if I didn't recognize you back then, but kept thinking of you as Mei Changsu, and even misunderstood you, what would you do?"

Mei Changsu imagined the situation Xiao Jingyan described, and realized that it was exactly what he imagined for the future when he first entered Beijing.But now that I think about it, if that's the case, I'm afraid that my journey will not be as smooth as it is today, and the damage to Jingyan will be much deeper than it is now.

"If you don't know, misunderstanding is normal. Since I made such a choice, I must have been prepared in my heart. You recognized me at that time, why bother with this issue now?"

"No, I was completely hidden by you at that time. Everyone knew about it, but I finally got your identity from Xia Jiang."

Xiao Jingyan fell into the memories of his previous life, staring at a point in the sky and then began to lose his mind.But what he said made Mei Changsu confused. What's the matter with Xia Jiang?Obviously Jingyan recognized his real identity very early on, so why did he say that he kept it from him?This feeling is the same as they obviously ate tangerines together yesterday, but today the other party said that they ate hazelnut crisps together.

"Jingyan, how did Xia Jiang know my identity? What are you talking about?"

Mei Changsu's words pulled Xiao Jingyan out of his memory. Seeing his puzzled face, he realized that he hadn't made his words clear. He simply started talking about his rebirth and told Mei Changsu everything.
