Liang Yushi was a high-spirited person, and he was still a high-ranking member of Lianzhong Sanyuan back then, and he was appreciated by Ling Tianyin because of his extremely upright style.

Therefore, from the age of eight to ten, Ling Shen studied under the guidance of this Liang Yushi.

Ling Shen stood by the small pond full of green algae, his eyes immersed in the past.

"Siyin is the teacher's only daughter, and she and I are also his students."

"After the incident, the teacher died in prison. Some of his former colleagues in the court bailed him out. In addition to my father's mercy, in addition to the confiscation of the property, Siyin and her mother were barely saved."

Gu Nuoer saw that the wall on the side was full of cracks.

She reached out and touched it, confused.

"It should be less than two months since this case has passed? Why is this place so dilapidated?"

Ye Siming looked around with cold eyes, and his voice was faint: "Presumably this house was originally very simple."

Ling Shen nodded sadly: "Teacher did not accept bribes during his lifetime. Even if he received 32 taels of monthly silver every month, he would give out part of it to help the poor."

"For the rest, he will buy books for Siyin and me. It can be said that he considers everyone, but he never considers himself."

Ling Shen raised his head and looked at the dilapidated courtyard.

He smiled bitterly: "During the rainy season, the roof would leak, so the teacher would carry tools and mend it alone."

"If the charcoal fire is not enough in winter, he will pile up the firewood and burn it, and roast a few potatoes to warm our hands."

"The teacher has suffered a lot. His stomach is not good. If he eats less, it will hurt, but he never shows it."

"Only when there is no one around, I squat down and breathe in pain."

Ling Shen pointed to the pavilion not far away.

"Siyin and I were sentenced to kneel there, because we didn't study hard, and the teacher was very angry. He taught us a lesson, saying that in this world, there are people who want to study but don't have money. We have the conditions, but we don't cherish it. "

Speaking of these pasts, Ling Shen's mouth was full of emotion.

Gu Nuo'er's mood gradually became heavy: "Then, listening to you, I don't think Liang Yushi will be a corrupt person."

Ling Shen nodded his head: "The teacher is definitely not such a person, so when he was framed, my first reaction was to thoroughly investigate the matter myself!"

His fist slammed heavily on the pillar.

"I once knelt in front of my mistress and swore that I would definitely, definitely give my teacher a clean slate, but now..."

Ling Shen didn't say any more, he just lowered his head, a few hot tears fell from his scarlet eyes.

Ye Siming looked at him: "So, you didn't kill Liang Yushi at all, did you?"

Ling Shen was shocked.

He clenched his fists: "I..."

Ye Siming didn't want to hear him lie again.

"We went to see you that night. You didn't open the door for a long time, but I saw a dark shadow in the direction of the backyard of your hall."

"When I chased after him to see, the man had run away without a trace, but he left an oversight."

Ling Shen hurriedly raised his head: "What negligence!?"

Ye Siming narrowed his eyes and stared at him with a sneer: "On the day we came, Xili Emperor Ling Tianyin set off fireworks in the city to celebrate the arrival of Gu Nuo'er."

"That person smelled of saltpeter in the fireworks, and after you opened the door, there was also the smell of saltpeter."

"I checked later and found that there are three main places where fireworks are set off in the city. One is the east gate of the city, which is where we entered the city."

"The remaining two are on the west side of the moat, and the last one—"

Ye Siming's cold eyes were filled with insight and absolute sobriety.

"It's this one, where Liang Yushi's house is."
