Chapter 385 The Liang family falls?
Huang Lao narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "There's a force in the capital that's been trying to find out about what happened at Jiaoshan."
The Third Prince's expression was stern: "Is it Jiang Cheng?"
Huang Lao nodded: "I only found out the name, but I haven't seen the person or heard of him."
The Third Prince stood up suddenly, feeling anxious and restless: "How could he still be alive?"
"Your Highness, please be patient." Old Huang said calmly, "If it really is him, I have a way to find him. Your Highness, don't forget that General Qiao has a special relationship with the Luo family. If Jiang Cheng is really active in the capital, he will not miss this opportunity."
"Then I'll leave it to Elder Huang, and the Liang family. Thank you for your hard work!" A layer of frost appeared between the Third Prince's brows. "It's better to kill someone by mistake than to let him go. If there are any problems, I will take full responsibility. Sir, just go ahead and do it."
…
Jiang Cheng didn't know that his recent frequent activities had attracted the attention of the Third Prince and others. Even if he knew, he wouldn't take it to heart. After all, since the other party attacked the Luo family, it was destined that they would end up in a fight to the death.
"Brother Jiang, you really don't want to go to Guancheng with me?"
Qiao Tianqing excitedly invited the other party to join him.
Jiang Cheng slowly shook his head and tugged at the reins: "I have something important to attend to. Take care on your journey, Miss Qiao."
On the outskirts of the capital, the two saw each other off.
Not long after Qiao Tianqing left, a man rode out of the capital on horseback and whispered something in Jiang Cheng's ear.
A smile appeared on Jiang Cheng's indifferent face. Okay, let them fight each other.
He turned to the others behind him and said, "Brothers, when we go to Yangzhou, hold on tight. Once the mission is completed, we can return to the city!"
"Yes!" When everyone heard that they could go back, they showed excited smiles on their faces.
I've been staying in the capital every day, unable to beat up the enemy when I see them. It's so frustrating.
It’s better to go back and have fun!
Not long after Jiang Cheng and others left, the grand court meeting was over.
The atmosphere at today's grand court meeting was tense. Liang Zhongling was recuperating at home due to illness. Even though the Third Prince had countless talented people, there were only a few who could resist Pei Shangling.
Especially Emperor Jiancheng, who originally wanted to build a large palace, and the national treasury was empty. Now seeing the corruption of more than ten people from the Liang family, and thinking of Liang Zongwu whose whereabouts were unknown, he really didn't know how much silver the Liang family had embezzled.
In a rage, he ignored the fact that these were the Third Prince's men and dealt a heavy blow to the Liang family.
All those impeached by Pei Shangling will be escorted back to Beijing one by one because of the complete evidence, and their property will be returned to the national treasury!
Song Chao looked unhappy because one of them was his wife's brother.
On the way out of the palace, he walked beside the third prince.
"Your Highness, I'm in trouble about my brother-in-law's situation..." He said, "Could you please help me with something?"
The Third Prince stopped abruptly and said in a serious tone, "Help? Do you want me to disobey your orders?"
"I dare not!" Song Chao said hurriedly, "I just want to spare his life. Otherwise, my family will be in great trouble."
Everyone in the capital knows that there is a tigress in the family of Minister Song of the Ministry of War. Although her family is not prominent, she has given birth to four sons, all of whom have grown up now and are all Madam Song's support!
The third prince glanced around and then glared at him fiercely.
Song Chao was wondering when Pei Shangling suddenly came over with a smile.
"Third Prince, I heard you caught a cold a few days ago. You should be feeling much better today."
Song Chao hurriedly retreated behind the Third Prince to minimize his presence, but Pei Shangling looked directly at him and said, "Minister Song, don't be so busy with state affairs all day. You have to take care of your family affairs, too, don't you agree?"
Song Chao gave a fake smile: "Pei Shangling is right!"
Pei Shangling smiled and nodded, stroking his gray beard. "I'm still Liang He. The Liang family's only grandson has disappeared. If you need my help, Your Highness, please speak up as soon as possible!"
The Third Prince smiled stiffly: "I dare not trouble Pei Shangling!"
"Hey!" Pei Shangling looked disapproving, his eyes deep and mysterious. "How can this be called a bother? After all, he is the brother of my disciple. If there is a chance, I should let Liang He return to the mansion to see Liang Zhongling."
After saying that, he put his hands behind his back and walked away slowly.
Looking at his leisurely back, Song Chao frowned, "When did this old fox become so kind?!"
Hearing this, the Third Prince looked at him deeply.
"Your Highness?" Song Chao turned his head, looking confused.
The third prince took a deep breath. He had reason to suspect that Song Chao was able to become the Minister of War because of this "simplicity"!
Overnight, the Liang family's descendants disappeared, and the only pillar of the family became bedridden, appearing to be on the verge of defeat.
At some banquets, some people no longer invite each other.
The masters of the Liang family didn't feel anything obvious, but Feng Danmiao, the eldest lady of the Liang family, felt it most obviously.
For three consecutive days, she was not invited to the eldest princess's banquet, but she was invited to the banquets of other colleagues of the same rank as her husband. She went there happily, but was left out!
In addition to this, the third sister who used to be the closest to her did not even come to visit. Although the Feng family did not say anything, it was obvious that they wanted their eldest daughter to make plans early!
"A bunch of idiots who look down on others!"
Madam Feng was angry at home all day, and her subordinates were trembling with fear all day. The atmosphere in the Liang Mansion took a sharp turn for the worse and became increasingly tense.
After Liang Zhongling learned that someone had taken the opportunity to attack the Liang family, he fainted for two days because his health was not very good to begin with.
When he woke up again, everything was already a foregone conclusion!
"Father! You finally woke up!"
Liang Zongwen was surprised and at a loss. After all, the Liang family had developed to this point and it was no longer something he could control.
Liang Zhongling was depressed and accused in a trembling voice: "Incompetent!"
Liang Zongwen lowered his head in shame.
"Liang He... come back!" Liang Zhongling's eyes were determined, but Liang Zongwen looked up, his face full of disbelief: "Father?!"
Does asking Liang He to come back mean giving up Huan Yu and their family?
The ups and downs in the capital naturally could not disturb the city, but all the news that happened here had already been sent back to the Luo Mansion at full speed.
Zhu Mingqing looked at Luo Tingshan meaningfully. "On ordinary days, he seems helpless and harmless. I never thought that even from the border, he could influence the government! You're amazing, General Luo!"
I had promised him to avenge Xiao Putao, and I thought that kidnapping Liang Huanyu would be his answer.
But once Liang Huanyu disappeared, the capital city became so chaotic.
She doesn't believe that he didn't add fuel to the fire!
Luo Tingshan sneered, "Thank you, Madam Zhu! You're not as influential as Madam Ming in Youzhou!"
Because they took in all kinds of refugees, the Ming family's status in the hearts of the lower-class people is now almost as high as that of the emperor.
After all, the emperor won’t give them food, but the Ming family can!
"Okay, let's stop complimenting each other!" Zhu Mingqing looked down at his legs: "How are you now?"
