Chapter 6 Chapter 6 Against Heaven
In a side room where sundries were placed, Yan Jiu was dying, filled with remorse.
Just now, being carried away by his complacency, he couldn't help wanting to show off, so he showed some words to Ding Chengzong.Ding Chengzong was thoughtful, and with his vigilance, even if he was not very sure at this moment, he must have already expected it. Could it be that he had planned and calculated his whole life, and now he was fetching water from a bamboo basket, a dream?
Just as he was thinking quickly, Ding Chengye was also thrown in.Seeing his son's languid expression, Yan Jiu immediately forced himself to sit up, and asked with concern: "Second Young Master, you... have been arrested, why did you suffer?"
Ding Chengye originally thought that his crime of murdering his father and brother had been exposed, and the government came to arrest him, scaring him to death, but the gentleman did not go to the government office, but took him out of the city, and he thought he was a villain Pretending to be a government official, kidnapping and extorting money, and when he was taken to Wangxiazhuang Ding's other courtyard, he couldn't help but feel strange, and now he was not sure where these big men came from.
Just when he was in a daze, he was brought into this house and pushed into the room. Seeing Yan Jiu's mouth was blood clotted and he was sitting on the ground weakly, Ding Chengye couldn't help but turn pale with shock: "Jiu'er, you have also been arrested. , Who is dealing with us? Why...why is this place in Wangxiazhuang's other courtyard?"
Yan Jiu smiled miserably: "Second Young Master, don't you understand? We will be caught here, so who else can catch us?"
Ding Chengye was startled and angry, and said angrily: "It's my sister who ordered people to arrest me? It's unreasonable, it's unreasonable. Not only did she arrest me, those people treated me so rudely. Is my sister crazy?"
Yan Jiu shook her head lightly, and said in a low voice, "It's not the young miss, but... the young master."
Ding Chengye was stunned, and wondered, "Who are you talking about?"
"Master..."
When Ding Chengye heard it like five thunderbolts, he couldn't stand upright, and said in a trembling voice: "You...you...you...what are you talking about? Big...big brother...how...how is it possible..."
"He's awake..."
Ding Chengye immediately sat down on the ground, lost his mind and said: "He's awake, he's awake..."
With Yanjiu's instigation, coupled with his jealousy towards his father and elder brother, he can acquiesce that Yanjiu poisoned his father, and he can coerce Lu Xiangwu to poison his elder brother, but he has the courage and courage only when he hides in the dark , Once he stood in the open, he was like a soft-shelled egg, completely losing his courage.Even if the elder brother's legs were all disabled, Ding Chengye didn't have the courage in front of Ding Chengzong, and he was even more timid when he felt ashamed.
Seeing his son's terrified appearance, Yan Jiu couldn't help secretly rejoicing that he hadn't revealed his identity and the whole plan to Ding Chengzong. In the absence of witnesses and physical evidence, even if the vague words aroused Ding Chengzong's vigilance , He did not dare to harm his son's life.Otherwise, even if he made all the reasons public, how many people in the world would believe him?He will only think that he is vengeful and fabricating reasons to frame his brother.
As for the use of lynching without going through the government, Yan Jiu is not very worried. The Ding family is a famous gentry in Bazhou, and Ding Chengye can be regarded as a respectable figure in Bazhou. A famous loyal servant.Such two figures, Ding Chengzong, suddenly disappeared together as soon as he woke up, how could the government not be suspicious?Ding Chengzong's emphasis on his ancestor's foundation far outweighed his personal grievances, and he would never put all his eggs in one basket regardless of his interests.
However, the Ding family has returned to the control of Ding Chengzong, and it is inevitable that the plan that he planned for half his life will be ruined. He has already said that he poisoned Ding Tingxun and Ding Chengzong. Take all the blame and save your son's life no matter what.
Fortunately, I took precautions and told my second younger brother Lu Yisheng to find another way. Now that he is a general in the Northern Kingdom, if his son and second younger brother get together, they may not be able to make a comeback.Even if the son doesn't live up to it, as long as the Lu family's incense continues, there is still a chance of recovery.
Just as he was thinking about it, Ding Chengye suddenly came back to his senses. With a desperate howl, he threw himself on Yan Jiu, grabbed his collar, and shouted angrily: "It's you, it's all you, if it wasn't you You, how could I be here today, you lowly slave, you say, you say..."
Yan Jiu's ribs had already been broken by Yang Hao, and when he was pressed down by Ding Chengye again, he let out a painful moan. He just wanted to open his mouth to speak, when someone shouted outside: "Miss Ding." Yan Jiu's heart trembled, and immediately He swallowed back the words.
Listening carefully, there was a whisper outside, Yan Jiu took the opportunity to whisper to Ding Chengye: "I just... slipped my tongue and told the young master and the master about being poisoned, but...but don't worry, I will I didn’t tell you that you came, so you should keep your face and look for an opportunity to escape.”
Ding Chengye's eyes were red, and he said with hatred: "I am the second young master of the Ding family, well-clothed and well-fed, where do you want me to escape? Even the eldest brother...he doesn't know the evil things I did, but Knowing the scandal of my adultery with my sister-in-law, he... How could he let me go? You old killer..."
Yan Jiu suddenly broke out in anger, raised his hand and slapped Ding Chengye in the face. Ding Chengye had never been slapped by him before, and he was stunned. , you must not be rude to me again!"
Ding Chengye was frightened by his stern look at first, but when he woke up, he became angry from embarrassment. Is this dog who has been wagging its tail behind his buttocks begging for mercy also going to make trouble?He gritted his teeth, and as soon as he clenched his fists, he heard Yan Jiu whisper and urgently said: "As long as you escape, it may not be impossible. You remember, once you escape, the Central Plains has nowhere to go, so go to Khitan, Khitan South College General Lu Yisheng is my younger brother. Tell him that I died at the hands of Ding Chengzong and Ding Hao, and he will avenge me and take care of you."
Ding Chengye was a little surprised at first, then sneered and said: "Fart, your brother is a general of Khitan, you will be a house slave in the young master's mansion?"
At this time, Yan Jiu didn't care whether he believed his own words or not, just as he was about to reveal the secret of his life experience, when the door of the firewood room slammed, Ding Yuluo walked in, and Yan Jiu hurriedly kept silent .
"Sister, sister..." Seeing Ding Yuluo come in, Ding Chengzong rolled his eyes and rushed towards her, hugging her thigh and crying bitterly: "Sister, brother is young and ignorant. The old slave was bewitched and did many wrong things, now that the eldest brother wakes up, he will not spare me, sister save me, sister save me..."
Seeing his appearance, Ding Yuluo's nose was a little sore, and the anger that was still there dissipated, and he said softly: "Do you also know how many stupid things I have done? Now that the eldest brother is awake, the Ding family has already been tossed by you You are a man of the Ding family, are you worthy of the ancestors of the Ding family for what you have done?"
Ding Chengzong burst into tears and said: "My brother knows his mistake, I beg my sister to save me..."
Ding Yuluo looked at him at this time like a child who caused a catastrophe outside, was so frightened that he fled home to beg for mercy from his father, brother and elders, he couldn't help sighing softly: "You, you only have the ability to cause trouble, but you have no one. You have the courage to cause trouble. You don’t have to be scared like this. Although what you have done is hateful, after all, you are connected with your elder brother, your mother, and your brother. Even if your elder brother hates you for being useless, what can he do to you? At most, he will teach you a lesson. One meal, one meal is just family law. If the elder brother is really angry and wants to punish you severely, the elder sister will..."
As soon as she said this, she heard Xiaoqing's voice outside said urgently: "Brother Mu, Ding...Master Yang called you, it seems that something happened to my Ding's old house..."
Ding Yuluo was startled, turned around quickly and rushed out of the room again.
Outside the gate, Ding's servant who came to report the news was running around in a hurry, but the old doorman who had lost his ear was like a bell, and he just yelled loudly that Master Jiu would come out soon, and told him to wait.But after waiting for a long time, the family still didn't come out. The family wondered to themselves: "Why is Jiu Ye so calm? Is it because the old house has been sold to others? But this house has not been handed over yet. If it was really taken by the Lu family Won't it cost a lot of money if you smash it so badly?" The sound of the old door next to his ears was like a roar, and the family's ears were itchy from the shock. He was digging out his ears impatiently, when he saw the door parting from left to right with a "boom", and a man in a cotton robe came out with his legs lifted. A big man lifted a rattan chair, and saw the person sitting on the rattan chair at a glance. The family was stunned, and the hands that were picking out their ears quickly rubbed their eyes again. Rubbing his eyes for a long time, he saw that the young master who had already become a living dead was still sitting upright on the chair. Ding Chengzong just smiled at him, and the family members' legs went limp, and they knelt down on the ground with a "boom", Shouted tremblingly: "Big...big...eldest young master..." The people who stay in Ding's mansion are the favorite family members of Ding Chengye and Yanjiu, but they are just ordinary people after all, they are the servants of Ding Chengye and Yanjiu, not the accomplices of their conspiracy.Originally they were in awe of Ding Tingxun and Ding Chengzong, but now Ding Tingxun and Ding Chengzong died and fell ill, and Ding Chengye took power.However, Ding Chengye had only been in charge of the family for half a year, and their awe of the old master was still there. When they saw that Ding Chengzong was alive, they were shocked like five thunderbolts, and they were so frightened that they could not utter a complete sentence. Ding Chengzong didn't have time to show off to a servant, so he said calmly, "Let's get in the car." He didn't want another carriage at the moment, so he called the carriage that Yanjiu was riding in, and headed towards Ding's old house like a gust of wind.The family members who were kneeling on the ground seemed to have seen a ghost. They stared straight at the carriage in the distance, suddenly screamed strangely, jumped up and ran, chasing the carriage...
In the firewood room, Ding Chengzong saw that his sister was softened by her crying, and wanted to intercede for him, and felt a little relieved, but when he saw Yan Jiu in a blink of an eye, he was shocked again: "No, no, no, no matter how much I mess around, After all, I am a descendant of the Ding family, and my elder brother is the same mother and sibling. I committed adultery with my sister-in-law. Even if my elder brother beats me up, at least he will not take my life. But once he finds out that I not only poisoned him, but also my father... , He... How could he spare me? At that time, even my sister wanted to kill me. " Thinking of this, a fierce light suddenly appeared in his eyes, suddenly jumped up like a rabbit, threw his red eyes on Yan Jiu fiercely, and grabbed his throat with both hands.Just now Yan Jiu was pressed by him, triggering internal injuries, and was bowing his head to vomit blood, when Ding Chengye rushed to him, Yan Jiu couldn't help showing a look of surprise. He didn't understand until Ding Chengye's eyes were fierce and he grabbed his throat. He struggled hard. Ding Chengye's hands were like a pair of vise, tightly holding his throat. No matter how hard he moved, blood was overflowing from his lips. Ding Chengye cursed in a low voice: "I was supposed to be my second young master, you are the disaster star, it's all you, it's all you, you go to die, go to death, you are dead, the young master can live..." Yan Jiu was still struggling with his arms, but when he heard this, he was stunned for a moment, his hands slowly dropped down, his face flushed from suffocation fixedly looked at Ding Chengye, and the surprised and angry look disappeared from his eyes. , slowly showing a relieved smile. Ding Chengye was stared at by his strange gaze so that his heart felt weak and his hands became weak. He didn't dare to look at Yan Jiu any more, he closed his eyes abruptly, exerted all his strength, strangled his throat with all his strength, force, force... Yan Jiu stared fixedly at his son, his gradually protruding eyes made it difficult for people to see the deep pity and kindness hidden.Just die, one day my brother will tell you who I am and who you are.At that time, you will know the painstaking efforts of your father.I hope that at that time, you can repent, change your mind, and shoulder the important task of revitalizing the Lu family... "It's just hateful, you die before you leave school, half your life's preparations are in vain..." Yan Jiu passed away with a faint smile, the corners of his mouth were curled upwards, but because of suffocation, his face was terribly distorted, coupled with that smile, a face full of scratches and scars looked more pervasive than a ghost . Ding Chengye opened his eyes slightly, and seeing his terrifying appearance, he felt a chill in his heart, and quickly closed his eyes again. With all his strength, he strangled his throat vigorously, only hearing a slight "cha", Yan Jiu's throat bone had been strangled under his strong force, and blood trickled out from Yan Jiu's slightly opened mouth, which had been suffocated... Ding Chengye seemed to be out of strength, and his whole body was paralyzed on Yan Jiu's body, panting for a while, Ding Chengye still didn't dare to look up at Yan Jiu, when he lowered his eyes, he saw Yan Jiu's hand hanging by his side, covered by him on the ground I scratched out a few scrawled characters with my fingernails, and upon closer inspection, it was actually: "Go to Khitan, Lu Yisheng, report to..." The word "报" was drawn crookedly and weakly, and it was obvious that he had passed away when he wrote this. When Ding Chengye saw this line of writing, he suddenly jumped up as if he came back to life, hurriedly erased the line of writing, and put Yan Jiu in a prone position to rest.Just after finishing all this, Ding Yuluo walked back, and she didn't know what news she had heard, when she looked at him, her face was full of anger, Ding Chengye quickly threw himself in front of her and knelt down on the ground with a "puff", kowtowing like a pounding Liantun said: "My brother has committed an unforgivable scandal, if my sister doesn't save me, my brother will definitely die..."
Outside the gate, Ding's servant who came to report the news was running around in a hurry, but the old doorman who had lost his ear was like a bell, and he just yelled loudly that Master Jiu would come out soon, and told him to wait.But after waiting for a long time, the family still didn't come out.
