Chapter 344: There are old people above and young children below [Please give me a monthly ticket! ]

The fact that his mother had awakened her immortal body shocked Liang Yue as much as the fact that she had been proposed to by the son of an official.

According to common sense, the awakening of cultivation talent must be before the age of twenty at the latest. After that, it is basically impossible for the bones to be fixed. And my mother is almost fifty years old. Let alone fixing her bones, she is almost at the age of shrinking.

Needless to say, it must be the credit of the Enlightenment Tree that he awakened his immortal body at this time.

The three brothers and sisters are often away from home for various reasons. Only their mother is the one who spends the most time with the Wudao Tree at home every day, so naturally she benefits the most.

This made Liang Yue feel the power of this first immortal species again.

As for Dahei, who was often tied to the Enlightenment Tree, it was estimated that he was not far from becoming a spirit. Liang Yue thought that he had to take it with him when he went on a long journey this time, otherwise it would be difficult to deal with it if he suddenly spoke human language one day.

Li Caiyun's conditions for cultivation are also very good. Her three children each have the resources for cultivation of the three paths of essence, qi, and spirit. She has the best support for whatever she practices, not to mention the blessing of the Enlightenment Tree on one side.

No matter how stupid you are, your cultivation speed will not be too slow.

Liang Peng directly taught her the skills of the Kendo Academy, and at the same time supervised her not to be lazy and to practice diligently, so that she could prolong her life in the future and the family could live longer.

Of course, cultivation is very boring and Li Caiyun often slacks off.

At this time, Liang Peng and Liang Xiaoyun would take turns to urge her on - just like when she urged them to study when they were children.

"Get up and practice two more cycles of Qigong. How can you sleep if you don't finish your Qigong?"

“Fifty is the right age to make breakthroughs!”

"We didn't have such good training conditions as you did back then, and you don't know how to cherish them."

"..."

So although her cultivation speed was fast during this period, there was really a lot of blood and tears behind it.

After understanding the whole thing, Liang Yue also expressed his approval of his brother and sister's actions, "You are right to let mother hide. Otherwise, we are already attracting attention now. If there is anything unusual about mother, it will probably arouse suspicion."

There were rumors before that an immortal seed was born in the south of Longyuan City, but there was no news about it later. The various forces were just suspicious of each other, and they all thought that the immortal seed might have been obtained by other parties.

No one would have thought that the Enlightenment Tree was located in a courtyard in a small alley.

With the current strength of the three siblings, it is far from enough to guard the Enlightenment Tree. As for when they will be able to guard it, no one knows.

After all, even the True Dragon Clan of that time couldn’t protect this tree. Once it declined, it would be taken away by others.

They had already made a plan for this. If the secret was leaked one day, they would immediately present the Enlightenment Tree to Xuanmen.

If there is anyone in the world who can definitely protect the Enlightenment Tree, there must be only three people who dare to make such a guarantee. Among the three great immortal realms, Beiluo Shimen is mysterious and unpredictable, Jiuyang Wushen is an enemy, and only Zhangxuan Tianshi is the most reassuring.

However, thinking of Master Zhang Xuan, Liang Yue also felt a little worried.

I don’t know what happened to him.

When he and Senior Sister Wen left Sanqing Mountain, Chen Xiaodao was still reluctant to leave and wanted to go with them. They, together with the people from the Yin-Yang School, coaxed and tricked him into staying.

However, they also made an agreement that Chen Xiaodao would practice well on Mount Sanqing, and when he had practiced to a certain level, he could come down the mountain to find them.

In this way, Chen Xiaodao can also practice magic well.

But given this child's temperament, I don't know if there will be any unexpected problems in the future, so it's hard to be completely at ease.

……

After a few months, when I returned to Longyuan City, so many unexpected things happened.

When he went to Liang Mansion to visit Zuo Xiang, he received another surprise.

Liang Fuguo’s reply was that he had disappeared.

The housekeeper said respectfully: "My prime minister said that he has been very busy recently, and you, Liang Xianguan, must also be busy preparing for the battle to capture the city. If you have anything to say, we can talk after you come back from Shuangbei City." Liang Yue frowned slightly, realizing that something seemed to be wrong.

First of all, this cannot be perfunctory.

Liang Fuguo has invested so much resources in me, it is impossible that he does not take me seriously. Who would just pay money but not want to meet? What kind of big brother is this?

Secondly, there is nothing about himself that he needs to be taboo about.

Liang Yue is about to represent Yin Dynasty in the battle to capture the city. This is a moment of honor.

There's nothing wrong with me, and there's nothing wrong with their relationship, which means... there's something wrong with Liang Fuguo?
Although this conclusion is a little hard to believe, if you think about it carefully, it seems both outrageous and reasonable.

The absurdity is that Liang Fuguo has been doing what he wants for so many years, and he actually has something to be cautious about? The rationality is that he has killed so many people along the way, and he has never been free of trouble, so there is nothing strange about it.

So he didn't say anything more, but turned back to Ping'an Alley and found Liang Peng.

He knew that his brother had had contact with Liang Fuguo some time ago, so he wanted to ask him if he had any inside information.

This question is true.

After Liang Peng learned that Liang Fuguo refused to see his elder brother, he also made the same judgment, "He must be afraid that he will get into trouble. Anyone who sees him during this period may be liquidated."

"What kind of trouble would make the Left Prime Minister afraid?" Liang Yue asked.

Liang Peng said: "The Ministry of Justice is currently investigating a case of cheating in the imperial examinations."

With his introduction, Liang Yue briefly understood the whole story of the case.

At first, it turned out to be Liang Peng's classmate Mo Xiaohu who threatened him to take the exam for him. This led to the Ministry of Justice arresting people in the Imperial Examination Hall and arresting a large number of cheating candidates.

Those candidates were imprisoned in the Ministry of Justice, and they also gave away a group of examiners who provided protection. The examiners were all from the Ministry of Rites. Then, the whole line of investigation was followed up, and all the people involved in the entire interest chain were taken to the Ministry of Justice.

This development of events was very similar to the case he had handled in the Ministry of Industry, where he kept investigating, endlessly, and arrested people when he found any loopholes.

Many things are tacitly understood in the officialdom, such as the imperial examination list of aristocratic families, but Liang Fuguo put all these things out in the open for everyone in the world to see.

Now that the imperial examination case has been investigated by the Ministry of Rites and transferred to the Ministry of Personnel, the number of officials implicated and sent to jail is no less than that of the previous Ministry of Works case.

To some extent, Liang Fuguo was really the favorite person among the imperial examination candidates.

There has never been a dynasty where so many officials were investigated, arrested, or killed. The gap left by the vacancies is huge. If this continues, I am afraid that I won’t even have to queue up to get on the silver list, let alone the gold list.

But this trend has now spread to all the major families. The Liang family did not submit a list of candidates for the imperial examination this year, so naturally there was nothing wrong. But many major families, including Song, Qi, and Chen, are participating. If this continues, he will offend all the families.

This is even more serious than offending the royal family.

"Alas." Liang Yue sighed softly.

Come on, Lord Liang, the Left Prime Minister.

Because of the scandal of being Liang Xiang's illegitimate son, he had taken advantage of many things in the past. If Liang Fuguo really fell, would it be okay just to not meet him?

This is really hard to say.

If we win the battle to capture the city, perhaps that halo can protect our family.

If we lose the battle to capture the city, I'm afraid we will all be held accountable.

Now I have elderly parents and young children to take care of, and I am really worried about them all.

Ugh!
　Good morning.
