Chapter 8 Chapter Eight
Ding Chengzong sat still and splashed ink directly, while Lu Xiangwu held his breath and knelt on the ground, not daring to breathe.Everything about Ding Chengzong was destroyed in her hands, and now she is alone and helpless, with nowhere to turn to, and the only one she can rely on is Ding Chengzong, what else can she say?Ding Chengzong didn't say a word, Lu Xiangwu's heart was like hanging on a cliff.
She bowed her head to the ground, the room was terribly quiet, only the rustling sound of the pen peak walking on the paper could be faintly heard.After a while, Lu Xiangwu couldn't stand this kind of torture anymore, and finally broke down and cried out: "Officer, I know I was wrong. In the past, I didn't dare to speak out. I just hope that the official can forgive me. I would like to wait on the knees of officials, serve as slaves and maidservants, as cattle and horses, and dare not complain even a little bit, officials, please forgive me, please forgive me..."
She cried, said, and kowtowed, and her forehead hit the floor with an "empty" sound. Ding Chengzong lifted his pen, rolled up his sleeves, and sighed softly: "Why do you talk about the word Rao?"
Around the sleeve of his robe, the piece of paper floated down from the desk, swung a few times, and floated in front of Lu Xiangwu. The ink was dripping on the paper, and one could see a cliff, a pine, and a moon like a hook.The strokes are concise, and at a glance, there is a cold and murderous air rushing towards the face.
Hearing Ding Chengzong's words, Lu Xiangwu was stunned for a moment, and then exulted: "He... he doesn't blame me? Does he not blame me? The officials can't bear to blame me. It doesn't matter even if I'm left out in the cold. From now on, I just need to be careful and courteous , are you afraid that you won't be able to coax him to change his mind?"
Lu Xiangwu immediately kowtowed and thanked: "Officer, what the slave family did is really ashamed to the official, but the official is so magnanimous, the slave family is ashamed, and from now on, the slave family must change their minds, start a new life, and stay by the official's side wholeheartedly..."
Ding Chengzong took another piece of paper, stared at the sky for a long time, raised his hand and dipped it in ink, and wrote quickly. Taking advantage of the situation, he wrote another three characters, threw the page in front of Lu Xiangwu, and said lightly: "It's unnecessary, come if you agree, go if you don't agree. Even if I, Ding Chengzong, are disabled, I will not tolerate it." A woman like you! Whether the Ding family is rich or poor, they will not allow a woman like you to enter the ancestral grave!"
Lu Xiangwu froze for a moment, holding the paper in his hand, only seeing the two big characters "Suspense Letter" at the top, and felt dizzy for a while.In a trance, I saw Ding Chengzong sitting proudly. Although he was half short, his spine was still straight, like a lonely and proud plant.
He slowly pushed the table aside, rested his hands on the ground, and walked slowly towards the door. Lu Xiangwu was so terrified, as if the last reliance was about to leave him, he couldn't help crying, and rushed forward to press the door. She caught Ding Chengzong's long robe that was dragged on the ground, and looked at Ding Chengzong with pleading eyes. At this moment, the lament and sadness in her eyes could move even a hard-hearted person.
She only hoped that Ding Chengzong would look back at him.But Ding Chengzong didn't turn his head to look back at all. He still moved towards the door step by step, and the robe slipped away inch by inch from under Lu Xiangwu's slender fingers. Hearing Ding Chengzong recite in a low voice: "One cultivates everything. One breaks and one cuts off. One realizes all. It's like cutting silk and dyeing. In an instant, you can reach Bodhi..."
Ding Chengzong opened the barrier door, only to see his father Xuxian Zhou holding his nine-year-old younger sister, his father's two concubines and several close maids, standing in the courtyard with expressions on their faces, looking at him anxiously. He, Ding Chengzong didn't say a word, and the two Yang Hao guards guarding the door lifted him onto the wicker chair. At this moment, his little sister finally couldn't help calling timidly: "Brother." Ding Chengzong smiled dejectedly, and said softly: "Little sister..." He looked up at Mrs. Zhou and the two Ru wives again, saw the worry and hesitation in their eyes, and said: "Ma'am, Erniang, Sanniang, it is the duty of a Ding family man to take care of you. You are not orphans or widows if you don’t die for a day. Please bring a few maids to help Xiangwu clean up and send her away. There are still some things in the front hall, and I have to rush there, Erniang , San Niang, you go back to your room to rest, it hasn't collapsed yet, so you don't have to worry about it." Mrs. Zhou nodded, and took her little daughter's hand. The faces of the two concubines also showed expressions of gratitude and relief. They watched Ding Chengzong being carried on the wicker chair by the two guards and walked towards the front hall, with an uneasy heart, Finally settled down a little. The hall in the second entrance courtyard was deserted, only Yang Hao sat silently on the chair, and there were two burly men standing at the entrance of the hall, and there was no one else. Seeing Ding Chengzong come out, Yang Hao stood up immediately. Ding Chengzong stopped at the entrance of the hall, looked at him for a long time, and suddenly said in a deep voice, "Help me up." Just as Yang Hao was about to step forward, Ding Chengzong stopped his movement with a false palm, and said again: "Help me up!" The two big men on the left and right rushed forward to set him up. Ding Chengzong got off the chair and came to Yang Hao. Suddenly, he shook his arms, broke free from the support of the two big men, and knelt down in front of Yang Hao with a "puff". Yang Hao was taken aback, and quickly stepped forward to help him: "Master, what are you...what are you doing?" Ding Chengzong said in a low voice: "You have the utmost love for the Ding family. The Ding family is sorry for you. Today, I want to apologize to you." Yang Hao hurriedly said: "There is no way to say this. It is Ding Chengye's fault that Ding Chengye harmed me. Yang Hao is not the kind of person who has grudges against one person and hates the whole family. What's more, when I was in Ding's mansion, the young master defended me in every possible way." , I will always remember that affection in my heart." Ding Chengzong smiled bitterly, and said sadly: "No, you don't know, at the beginning...Guangyuan Defense Envoy Master Cheng sent a letter inviting you to Guangyuan, but I burned the letter in order to keep you." Yang Hao was stunned for a moment, the truth of this public case finally came to light, he thought that Ye's car dealer lost the letter, but unexpectedly it fell into the hands of Ding Chengzong.Ding Chengzong recounted the events of that day, and said sadly: "If you had left that day, you would not have encountered those things in the future. Speaking of which, I was the culprit." Yang Hao was stunned for a while, the past came to his mind one by one, and he had mixed feelings at the moment.He also has some resentment in his heart, but it is impossible for him to make him hate Ding Chengzong with his rationality.Yes, that letter was burned by Ding Chengzong, but if Ding Chengzong hadn't been there that day, would this letter have fallen into his hands? Ding Chengzong burned the letter not because he wanted to harm him, but because he saw that his second brother was hard to carve, so he tried his best to keep him, and persuaded his father to let him recognize his ancestor and return to the clan, so that he could become the head of the Ding family. , Is this an attempt to harm him?As for the subsequent tricks of good fortune, even Ding Chengzong was unexpected.If tracing back to the source, this grudge can be traced to Ding Chengzong's head, then traveling through time and space and changing the fate of the fool Ding Hao, is it the culprit who killed Yang Shi and Luo Dong'er? Seeing him in a daze, Ding Chengzong said in a low voice: "I was poisoned so badly that I would rather die, and in the end it was you who saved me from waking up. I owe you too much. Ding Chengzong is now a useless person. There is no reward to make up for your day, only to end my own life..." He raised his head, stared at Yang Hao, and said in a deep voice: "You have heard what Yan Jiu said. I have guessed this question a little bit, but I have to force the details out of his mouth before I can answer." The truth is out, so I can't die now, I want to go back and find out about this matter. After punishing them, I will give my life to you. It's just..., whether you admit it or not, your body , After all, the blood of the Ding surname is flowing, and by then, you will be the only man of my Ding surname blood, I want to ask you, the whole family, these old and weak women and children, please take good care of them." What Ding Chengzong said was to entrust the women and children of the Ding family to Yang Hao. Naturally, all the property of the Ding family was also entrusted to him. However, although Ding Chengzong heard him say that there are clear grievances, he only seeks Ding Chengye to settle accounts, and will not vent his anger. The members of the Ding clan know that he really hates the Ding family, although the Ding family with strict discipline and rotten family rules has long since been beaten to pieces by Ding Chengye. , but Yang Hao's disgust towards Ding's family will not be eliminated. Maybe it's someone else, anyway, the past is over, and it's hard to come back from death. I wish I could go along with the current and take over the huge property of the Ding family. It's just to take care of three wives, two young ladies, and a few women and children for him. How can such a good thing to find?But he knew that even if the property was ten times larger, it might not be able to move Yang Hao's heart.Otherwise, he would rather move into the city to live, and when he handed over the Ding family, Yang Hao would not still beg for it. After saying this, he stared at Yang Hao intently, hoping that his will would loosen even a little bit, but after looking carefully for a while, he was still disappointed. Yang Hao had no expression on his face, and he was silent for a long time before bending down. Go, clasped his arms with both hands, and said in a low voice, "Get up." Seeing Yang Hao's resolute expression, Ding Chengzong didn't refuse any more, and was lifted up, and someone on both sides pushed the wicker chairs for him to sit down immediately. "I'm going back to Beijing this time by order, and I'm going to detour to Bazhou, just to get revenge." Yang Hao looked at Ding Chengzong and said bluntly: "I won't hide it from you. I know that no matter how many wrong things Ding Chengye has done, he is a brother of the same mother as you. Unless he committed a heinous crime against the Ding family, as long as he can Protect him, you still have to protect him." Ding Chengzong's cheeks twitched slightly: "Now...but not necessarily. Chengye was brought back by Yanjiu. Now that I think about it, he is probably Li Daitao stiff and replaced my real second brother with his own flesh and blood. , I’ve already thought about it, what’s missing now is just a confession.” Yang Hao said: "But before that, you didn't know, and I didn't know either. So when I came to Bazhou, I planned to kill Ding Chengye and Yanjiu secretly. But when my adoptive father took him out from the grassland When I got the poison from the wizard, I had doubts about your stroke and coma, so I changed my course and wanted to see if I could use this antidote to revive you. If the medicine really works, then it is certain that you were poisoned I believe that at that time you will join me in finding the real culprit." Ding Chengzong said with shame: "The Ding family has done too much to you, but you have always repaid your grievances with kindness. Listening to what you say, I am even more ashamed." Yang Hao shook his head lightly, and said: "Now, although we haven't got the conclusive confession we want, the mystery has been clearly revealed, regardless of whether we can get conclusive evidence from Yan Jiu and Ding Chengye, I hope that in the end you can hand over Yan Jiu and Ding Chengye to me." "Yanjiu, Ding Chengye..." Ding Chengzong murmured and repeated, with grief and indignation in his eyes, he nodded heavily. He knew what it meant for Yang Hao to ask for these two people, and he knew that Yang Hao didn't have to ask for it at all. With his consent, he forcibly took the lives of the two men.Yang Hao was willing to ask him, he was willing to hand over these two people to him first, just because he still had a feeling of friendship for him in his heart. Whether this feeling is friendship or family love, he still can't tell the difference, but at least it gave comfort to his lonely and desperate heart , A glimmer of hope emerged. The two went out, boarded the car again and rushed to Wangxiazhuang's other courtyard. Halfway through, they bumped into Mu Yu rushing forward with four guards. Ding Chengye, can you see what they said? Why did you bring everyone out, what happened to you?" As soon as Mu Yu saw Yang Hao, Fang Shi breathed a sigh of relief, the nervous expression on his face disappeared, and he replied happily: "My lord, Yan Jiu received a slap from my lord, and she is still unconscious. We talked. The subordinates were watching them, but Miss Ding said that the northwestern region is fiercely guarded, and most people practice martial arts. Now the Ding family's servants are all Ding Chengye and Yan Jiu's confidantes, and they can't rely on them. If the people in the Lu family are anxious and violent, and the adults only take four people with them, and Young Master Ding is sick and weak, he may not be able to take care of himself, so he asked me to bring someone to help the adults. The subordinates think that it is the subordinates who protect the safety of the adults. If your lord makes any mistake, it will be terrible, so I brought someone here." Ding Chengzong frowned, and asked in a deep voice, "Now... who is looking after them?" Mu Yu said: "Yanjiu was seriously injured, half dead, so it doesn't matter. As for Ding Chengye, the eldest lady has already asked the long-term workers of your mansion to tie Ding Chengye to the pillar. There are four long-term workers guarding him, and the eldest lady is all alone. Martial arts, no problem." Only then did Yang Hao and Ding Chengzong feel relieved, one was seriously injured and the other was tied up, it was unexpected that they still had the ability to escape.Together, the two of them rushed back to Wangxia Village, and when they entered the gate, and then went to the hall, they saw Ding Yuluo sitting there upright, with staring eyes, as if he didn't even see them coming in.Yang Hao and Ding Chengzong looked at each other, feeling strange in their hearts. "Yuluo, Yuluo!" Ding Chengzong raised his voice and yelled twice, Ding Yuluo suddenly woke up, jumped up from the chair, saw the person in front of him clearly, and asked: "The person who caused trouble in the Lu family , already sent away?" Ding Chengzong nodded, and asked strangely: "You are out of your mind, what are you thinking?" Ding Yuluo forced a smile, brushed the hair on his sideburns lightly, and said softly: "Brother, I have something to say to him alone, is that okay?" Yang Hao and Ding Chengzong looked at each other, Yang Hao nodded slightly, Ding Yuluo saw that he agreed, turned around and went out, Yang Hao silently followed behind her, the two turned into a wing on the right, Ding Yuluo Luo turned his head to stand still, looked at him silently, and said after a long while: "In the past six months, I have often thought about where you will live and how you will live. There is an unconscious big brother in front of you. In the distance, a man living in a foreign land Second elder brother, there is only one younger brother left, but he is a complete jerk. Seeing that the family business that my father worked so hard to create has been wiped out by him, and I am a daughter's family, but my heart is powerless. This heart... is really miserable... " Taking care of an unconscious relative is just a matter of words, but if you really want to do it, how much hard work and hard work will you have to put in? , is she living a hard life?Others only saw her current weakness, who would have expected how much burden her immature shoulders could bear until today?After all, she was just an eighteen-year-old girl. As she spoke, two lines of clear tears slowly flowed out: "You have suffered too much in the Ding family, and the Ding family is sorry for you. Fortunately... people are kind and deceiving, but heaven does not deceive us. I haven't seen you in half a year. You have already done it." I have become a high-ranking official of the imperial court. With your help, my eldest brother has woken up, and I have nothing to ask for." Seeing her tone of voice and expression, Yang Hao felt a little ominous in his heart, but when he saw her crying, he still comforted him: "People from the Ding family are indeed sorry for me, but at least... you have never done anything wrong to me. thing." Ding Yuluo's face was full of tears, but he smiled brightly: "It didn't happen before, but now, my sister has done something I'm sorry for you." Yang Hao's heart sank, and he said hurriedly, "What do you mean?" Ding Yuluo bent his knees, slowly knelt down on the ground, and said quietly: "I know, although Chengye didn't do Aunt Yang's death and Dong'er's death himself, he couldn't explain it away. I know, you One of the important purposes of going to Beijing to take office this time and bypassing Bazhou is to kill him for revenge. I know that in your heart, his crime is unforgivable..." She burst into tears and said, "But, no matter what, he is my brother. Even if he has done too many wrong things outside, I can't be too ungrateful and selfless. , waiting for you to take his life. Immovable, unfeeling, that is the realm of Buddha, Yuluo is just an ordinary person..." Yang Hao said in a deep voice, "What did you do?" "I have... let him go..." Yang Hao was stunned for a while, then laughed "ha", nodded and said: "Okay, very good..." What else did Ding Yuluo want to say, but Yang Hao reached out to stop her and asked, "How is Yanjiu doing now?" "He died of his wounds." Yang Hao breathed a sigh of relief, with a smile on his face, but no smile in his eyes, which made Ding Yuluo dare not look at him. Yang Hao said indifferently: "My revenge is only half. Hehe, the Ding family, after all You have to face the members of the Ding family, no matter how much he has done wrong. From your standpoint, you have done nothing wrong, so why bother to apologize to me? " Although Yang Hao said nothing serious, these words made Ding Yuluo more embarrassing than the heavy responsibility. She was stabbed by Yang Hao like a knife, but she really couldn't think of a way to get the best of both worlds. The dead are dead, and the living But it was her mother's brother, how could she just sit back and watch him be killed? Yang Hao felt a sense of loss, a sense of helplessness, and a pain in his heart, but he could only suppress it in his heart.Yes, in his eyes, Ding Chengye would never be redeemed after a hundred deaths, but how did he see it in Ding Yuluo's eyes?That's her brother.Maybe she won't think about it when she knows what Ding Chengye has done, but now there is no need to explain it to her.He laughed at himself, and walked away after speaking. Ding Yuluo knelt on the ground and looked at his back in a daze. She knew that the more Yang Hao didn't explode, the more resentment he would feel in his heart. After going out this time, he would never look back.But what can she say? After a long time, she slowly stood up while supporting the table, and walked out the door. Ding Chengzong was sitting in the hall, and the four long-term workers looked like children who had done something wrong, standing aside with their heads down, holding their breath and not daring to speak.Just now Yang Hao's face turned pale, without saying a word, he went to the left wing to look at the cold body of Yan Jiu, and then he took his guards and walked away. When Xiaoqing and Xiaoyuan came to ask about the situation, Ding Chengzong's heart became cold. Ding Yuluo's heart is really miserable now. Originally, when the second brother came back and the eldest brother was awake, her heart was like a sky covered by dark clouds for a long time, finally revealing such a ray of light, but she couldn't ignore him and die for this unworthy pity. Little brother, she really made herself look like a human being inside and out.The second brother left in a fit of anger, and will never recognize her as a younger sister again in his life. As for the eldest brother, will he forgive himself for letting Chengye go? "Brother, I..." Ding Yuluo walked up to Ding Chengzong, and as soon as he opened his mouth, Ding Chengzong sneered: "Shut up, my Ding family, how can I do such a foolish thing like you?" "Yes! I'm confused!" Ding Yuluo raised his head bravely, his eyes no longer wandering: "For him, my sister feels guilty, no matter whether he is from our Ding family or not, but the Ding family has never given What is he, he has paid too much for the Ding family. I let go of my brother, his enemy, and I am sorry for him. But..., my name is Ding Yuluo, and I did nothing wrong!" "You..." Ding Chengzong's pale cheeks flushed with anger, but Ding Yuluo's voice was clear and firm: "Even if I know that doing this will disappoint him and make him sad, I have no choice. The reason for doing this is not for others." Yes, it's because I'm from the Ding family. No matter how stupid Chengye's deeds are, even if the evidence is convincing, even if he is sent to the government for punishment, he will not be guilty of death. I know... I know that he has done something that I'm sorry for big brother The matter, but according to the crime, it is only three years of exile. Even if you don't talk about the king's law and only talk about human feelings, do you have the heart to kill him? Brothers kill each other, and parents can't rest in peace..." "Confused!" Ding Chengzong was so angry that he slapped Ding Yuluo's face loudly, and five fingerprints immediately appeared on that thin and pale cheek. "Get out, you all get out." Ding Chengzong grabbed the handrail tightly with both hands, and shouted at Xiaoqing, Xiaoyuan and the four long-term workers, and they hurriedly retreated, leaving only Ding Chengzong and Ding Yuluo brother and sister in the hall . With tears in his eyes, Ding Chengzong said in a painful voice, "Yuluo, you have made a big mistake this time!"
Lu Xiangwu hurried out of the Ding's compound with her head down. She didn't dare to raise her head, didn't dare to look at the strange eyes of those servants. No one was there, so she burst into tears. It was cold and windy, and the surrounding fields were covered with white snow. She didn't know where she should go now.What was wrong was already wrong, and there was no way to turn back. Under the so-called help, but in fact monitoring, of Aunt Ding and a few maids, she was ashamed to bring even a box of jewelry, so she took a divorce letter and purged herself. out of the house. In Ding Chengzong's divorce letter, he didn't say a word about her disobedience to women. He only said that he had become disabled and disheartened. , but... Ten miles and eight villages have already vaguely heard about her affair with Ding Chengye. Now that she is abandoned by Ding Chengzong, can she hide it from others? She didn't know where to go, and she didn't know how to go in the future, so she just walked forward in such a daze, subconsciously walking in the direction of Bazhou Mansion.But the further she walked, the heavier her footsteps became. Her natal family, because Ding Chengye had turned against her, had long since disowned her as a daughter. Now with a divorce letter, how could she enter her own family? Lu Xiangwu cried all the way, walked all the way, staggered, tears dried up, passed Lijiazhuang, saw the rushing big river in the Woxue Field, Lu Xiangwu looked at the river water obsessively, the cold wind swept her in a mess His hair and face were blue with cold.But she stood motionless on the rocks by the river. There is no way to go to heaven, and no way to go to earth.She doesn't know whether she should hate Ding Chengye or herself, it doesn't matter now, the wind is blowing to the bone, and there is no warmth in her heart, the river in front of her may be her best destination . Dong'er, the little widow who was scolded by the villagers and soaked in a pig cage by Dong Li's family members, died in this river.This time, if I saw her, I don't know if she would make fun of me, that Dong'er... At least she can express her love to others in public, the person she loves is also worthy of her love.She is dead, there is a man who is willing to fight for her with the strong men in the village of Lijiazhuang, there is a man who is willing to kill two lives for her and wander the world, but what about me? Lu Xiangwu suddenly felt a little envious of Luo Dong'er: "When she is dead, there are always people thinking about her. After becoming such a high-ranking official, she still doesn't forget to come back to avenge her grievances. For a woman to do this, she should be in this lifetime." contented.And what about myself?Probably like the bubbles in the water, it will disappear as soon as it flashes, and when you die, you will die. No one will remember me... Lu Xiangwu smiled miserably, covered her face with her sleeves, and jumped into the river... "Master, someone jumped into the river..." "Really?" Zheng Chenghe, Guangyuan's first jealous husband, poked his head out of the sedan chair, looked at the big river, opened his toad mouth like a thunder tiger, and sighed, "What's the picture?" , how cold it is." After saying that, she retracted her head. "Yes." The handlebar also sighed: "Although I haven't seen her appearance clearly, but look at that figure, it should be convex, it should be concave, it's quite eye-catching." With a "whoosh", Zheng Chenghe poked his head out again, stared into a pair of blistered eyes and said, "What do you say? It's a woman? Ouch, you blind bastard, stop, stop, hurry up and save someone!" Zheng Chenghe jumped onto the shaft of the car, holding a warm handbag and gesticulating to his followers: "Hurry up, hurry up, let me go down to catch people, master, whoever catches them, I will reward you five times, if you don't." Shiguan..., I'm still stunned by your mother, get into the water, your grandma..."
A small flower hall was temporarily converted into a place where the Ding family's ancestral tablets were placed. The ever-burning lamps and candles were dimly lit, exuding a faint fragrance of milk. Ding Chengzong, dressed in gray, sat quietly on the futon in front of the incense table , looking at the straight light with both eyes, I don't know what I was thinking. Ding Yuluo quietly pushed open the door and walked in, walking like a cat, so lightly that she made no sound, only making the candle light flicker slightly.If Ding Chengzong felt it, he turned his head gently, and saw Ding Yuluo's short robe and trousers, a cloth belt wrapped around his waist, a pair of soap boots for catching ground tigers, a dagger at his waist, and a package slung across his shoulders. . Her cheeks have been dyed yellow with ginger juice, and she has a beard glued on. She is dressed like a handsome, thin young man. She wears a leather hat with ear coverings, and she is dressed in a half-beard and half-han, just like the northerners are used to traveling far dress up. "Brother, I'm ready." Ding Chengzong silently turned his head back: "Brother knows, it's been hard for you these days, I thought I could handle these things well, I don't want you to know those nasty things anymore, who would have given him the opportunity to deceive you with sweet words You. But this is not the reason for you to forgive yourself, you have done something wrong, you have to make up for it yourself. " Ding Yuluo said quietly: "I know, this time, I won't let my brother down." Ding Chengzong said: "Brother didn't speculate on him because of his own grievances. What Yanjiu said before his death, coupled with my calm analysis these days, I absolutely believe that what he said when he was so complacent was not a lie. He was poisoned, and his father was also killed by them. Ding Chengye...is not a descendant of our Ding family! Even if he was, he would be guilty of killing his father, do you understand?" "I see!" "Okay, kneel before the ancestor's spiritual tablet!" Ding Yuluo went to a futon and knelt down on both knees. Ding Chengzong said word by word: "Now, you swear to your father and your ancestors that you must avenge this!" Ding Yuluo knocked his head down heavily, and Ding Chengzong's voice echoed in the empty room, a little tense: "If you can bring him back alive, bring him to the spiritual seat of your ancestors, if you can't, Just kill him and bring his head back, otherwise, you will never have to come back!" "Yes!" Ding Yuluo kowtowed again, Ding Chengzong's eyes were filled with tears, and he suddenly turned his head away.He is not such a cold person, and actually he doesn't want Ding Yu to fall into a girl's house to take on such a responsibility, but he has no legs. This mission can only be done by a girl, and he can only force himself to feel like that. iron stone. "Brother..." Ding Yuluo walked to the door, tightened his belt, turned his head and looked back, and asked, "Ding's house and fields have been sold by him. After I leave, what are you... going to do?" ?” "There is nothing to do." Ding Chengzong sat cross-legged in front of the ever-burning lamp, without turning his head, and said: "If it is broken, it will not be restored to its original appearance if it is glued together again. You can buy the land again after selling it, and you can buy it again after selling the house." Gai, but people’s hearts have been lost, and it’s hard to get back together. After you leave, I’ll take my family to Luling Prefecture, and if you complete your mission, go there and meet me.” Ding Yuluo's expression was a little excited, and he said in a low voice: "I...we broke his heart again and again, he...will he forgive us?" Ding Chengzong closed his eyes, and said quietly: "He didn't forgive me, it was his business. I just want peace of mind. You go, I will go to Luling Prefecture tomorrow..."
Rolling down the hillside, Ding Chengye got up panting and fled all the way. His clothes were all torn and tattered. He used to have pretty features, red lips and white teeth. Looking at his appearance alone, he was definitely a good man beyond gold and jade, but now he Unkempt and unkempt, almost no doubt like a beggar. That Yang Hao is really ruthless, he actually used the power of the Bazhou government, and the sea arrest documents were scattered, leaving him with no way to go to the sky and nowhere to go to the earth. In desperation, he couldn't help but think of that old slave Yanjiu what was said. After thinking about it repeatedly, he really couldn't think of the effect of Yan Jiu's lies at that time. Could it be that the old slave was really loyal to me?He has a brother who is a general in the Northland, and he is willing to stay in the Ding Mansion to take care of me? Ding Chengye judged others by himself, it was hard to believe that there would be such a foolish and loyal person in the world, but he couldn't find any reason for him to harm him, so he had no choice but to flee to northern Xinjiang with the hope of what might happen.If what Yan Jiu said was a lie, there were not a few Han people in the north, and he didn't have to worry about the crimes he committed in the Southern Dynasty when he got here.If Yan Jiu was telling the truth, who would know that he killed the old slave?I found that Northern General named Lu Yisheng, for his elder brother's sake, he wouldn't treat me badly. With such thoughts in mind, Ding Chengye chose the remote mountains to go north. At night, he went to the villages to steal some food. If he was hungry, he finally reached the border.He thought that this kind of place would not have his sea arrest document, but who would have thought that when he went to the village to beg, he would be recognized by someone. The people in this kind of place are even more powerful. Zhuang joyfully ran to catch people, scared him to flee, and finally climbed over this snow mountain, fortunately, this is the border of Khitan people, he finally don't have to worry about someone chasing him. The snow here is extremely thick, except for the footprints of some birds and beasts, there are no other traces to be seen on the snow. Ding Chengye was exhausted from walking with one foot deep and one foot shallow. When he looked back, he was only two feet away from that mountain. Ding Chengye couldn't help crying inwardly: "At this speed, I'm afraid he will starve to death or be bitten to death by wild beasts before he can reach the place where there are people." After passing through a forest, he couldn't walk anymore. He grabbed two handfuls of snow and swallowed his stomach. Just as he wiped his mouth, he heard a loud voice: "Wu Nahan, don't move around. What are you doing?" Ding Chengye turned his head and saw a few big men dressed in fur hats, fur jackets and Hufu standing not far away and staring at him with bows and arrows. Ding Chengye burst into tears as if he saw his relatives: "Don't kill me, don't kill me, I...I am the...uh...a distant relative of your Southern Academy General Lu Yisheng, so I am here to join you!" "Lu Yisheng?" Several big Khitan patrolling men looked suspicious, the general of the Southern Court?This official sounds like a big official, but why have I never heard of such a person? The military attributes of the Khitan in the northern kingdom are very complicated. In addition to the palace tent army directly under the royal family and the chief tribal army composed of tribal troops of princes and ministers, there are also tribal armies composed of Khitan, Xi and other nomadic peoples. The nature of Wujing Township Ding and the affiliated tribes outside the Liao Dynasty belonged to the national army.Each has its own affiliation, and there are many factions. It is possible that the generals of each army are not familiar with the other departments, but since this man is talking about a general, it is a bit strange that no one has heard of it. Little did they know that Lu Yiyi, the Great General, was just a cheap official position conferred by the emperor of the Northern Kingdom. He himself gathered 3,000 people, and in the middle area between the Song Dynasty and the Northern Kingdom, he was still engaged in the business of looting houses, and he was not an official general of the Northern Kingdom at all.Hearing Ding Chengye's prudence, the soldiers of the tribal army didn't make things too difficult for him. They searched him, found no weapons, and escorted him to meet their tribal leader...
"My lord, shall we leave now?" Yang Hao sat in the car and nodded silently. The culprit, Yan Jiu, is dead. Although the truth has not been fully revealed, at least he is known to be the culprit. Yang Hao has also vaguely guessed what happened from Yan Jiu's words. This is just the folk version Mrs. Ding's natal family was robbed. In order to free her descendants from being slaves, Yanjiu used flowers and trees to describe her son as Mrs. Ding's posthumous son. When he grew up, he tried to kill him. The members of the Ding family let their son take over the family business. This kind of guessing should be close to ten. He, Yang Hao, was just unfortunate enough to perform so well that Ding Tingxun, whose eldest son was crippled and the second son was incompetent, moved his mind, so he became a victim of this conspiracy.If he was still the ignorant Ding Hao from before, he and the Yang family would still be serving as slaves in the Ding family. Whether the master was Ding Tingxun or Ding Chengye, it made no difference to them servants. He couldn't think of a better way to deal with that Lan'er. Lan'er is just a servant. She doesn't follow Ding Chengye and Yan Jiu, and there will be others who will let Ding Chengye and Yan Jiu do it for money or fear of power. In this conspiracy, her role is really limited, since the crime is not fatal, should she be beaten? I heard that she has been sold by Ding Chengzong's matchmaker. This matchmaker is Granny Liu. Granny Liu knows a little about his grievances with the Ding family. She also knows that Lan'er is sorry for the tiger. It would be enough to find her a good home. Ding Chengye fled, but it was predictable that he would never go back to the Ding family. Ever since he heard Yan Jiu's words, he had no self, and Ding Chengzong could not spare him.He can no longer be the domineering second young master.The sky is big and the earth is big, so there may not be a day when we meet each other.What's more, he also met with Zhao Tongpan in secret, and found some excuses to make people pretend to be the master of suffering and rely on Ding Chengye. Dude, he doesn't have the ability to survive alone, maybe he won't be able to escape the jurisdiction of Bazhou, and he will be caught back. It's just that he can't wait that long, he has to go now, he can't just live for the dead, let alone just for a mere Ding Chengye, he can't make the emperor wait for a long time.Now, he has to go to Kaifeng to see the emperor. 车轮动了，微微有些颠簸，杨浩悠悠地叹了口气，这趟回来，还是没有打听到臊猪儿的消息。认识臊猪儿的人本就不多，柳婆婆动用了那么多消息灵通的城狐社鼠，对一个乡村大户人家的小家仆，也没有用武之地。娘亲杨氏已经死了、冬儿也已经死了，那个自幼相依为命的大良哥呢？ 想起当初为霸州府挖渠，河堤泥土中掘出的一副骸骨，杨浩的心头不由一寒：“这贼老天欺负得我已经够狠了，可不要再让猪儿就这么无声无息地沉尸河底啊，天大地大，只求你大发慈悲，让我兄弟有重逢的一天……” 车轮辘辘，神思悠悠，杨浩想着那下落不明的臊猪儿，却未料到此时芦岭州里正上演着一出“倒程”的好戏……
Ding Chengzong opened the barrier door, only to see his father Xuxian Zhou holding his nine-year-old younger sister, his father's two concubines and several close maids, standing in the courtyard with expressions on their faces, looking at him anxiously. He, Ding Chengzong didn't say a word, and the two Yang Hao guards guarding the door lifted him onto the wicker chair. At this moment, his little sister finally couldn't help calling timidly: "Brother." Ding Chengzong smiled dejectedly, and said softly: "Little sister..." He looked up at Mrs. Zhou and the two Ru wives again, saw the worry and hesitation in their eyes, and said: "Ma'am, Erniang, Sanniang, it is the duty of a Ding family man to take care of you. You are not orphans or widows if you don’t die for a day. Please bring a few maids to help Xiangwu clean up and send her away. There are still some things in the front hall, and I have to rush there, Erniang , San Niang, you go back to your room to rest, it hasn't collapsed yet, so you don't have to worry about it." Mrs. Zhou nodded, and took her little daughter's hand. The faces of the two concubines also showed expressions of gratitude and relief. They watched Ding Chengzong being carried on the wicker chair by the two guards and walked towards the front hall, with an uneasy heart, Finally settled down a little. The hall in the second entrance courtyard was deserted, only Yang Hao sat silently on the chair, and there were two burly men standing at the entrance of the hall, and there was no one else. Seeing Ding Chengzong come out, Yang Hao stood up immediately. Ding Chengzong stopped at the entrance of the hall, looked at him for a long time, and suddenly said in a deep voice, "Help me up." Just as Yang Hao was about to step forward, Ding Chengzong stopped his movement with a false palm, and said again: "Help me up!" The two big men on the left and right rushed forward to set him up. Ding Chengzong got off the chair and came to Yang Hao. Suddenly, he shook his arms, broke free from the support of the two big men, and knelt down in front of Yang Hao with a "puff". Yang Hao was taken aback, and quickly stepped forward to help him: "Master, what are you...what are you doing?" Ding Chengzong said in a low voice: "You have the utmost love for the Ding family. The Ding family is sorry for you. Today, I want to apologize to you." Yang Hao hurriedly said: "There is no way to say this. It is Ding Chengye's fault that Ding Chengye harmed me. Yang Hao is not the kind of person who has grudges against one person and hates the whole family. What's more, when I was in Ding's mansion, the young master defended me in every possible way." , I will always remember that affection in my heart." Ding Chengzong smiled bitterly, and said sadly: "No, you don't know, at the beginning...Guangyuan Defense Envoy Master Cheng sent a letter inviting you to Guangyuan, but I burned the letter in order to keep you." Yang Hao was stunned for a moment, the truth of this public case finally came to light, he thought that Ye's car dealer lost the letter, but unexpectedly it fell into the hands of Ding Chengzong.Ding Chengzong recounted the events of that day, and said sadly: "If you had left that day, you would not have encountered those things in the future. Speaking of which, I was the culprit." Yang Hao was stunned for a while, the past came to his mind one by one, and he had mixed feelings at the moment.He also has some resentment in his heart, but it is impossible for him to make him hate Ding Chengzong with his rationality.Yes, that letter was burned by Ding Chengzong, but if Ding Chengzong hadn't been there that day, would this letter have fallen into his hands? Ding Chengzong burned the letter not because he wanted to harm him, but because he saw that his second brother was hard to carve, so he tried his best to keep him, and persuaded his father to let him recognize his ancestor and return to the clan, so that he could become the head of the Ding family. , Is this an attempt to harm him?As for the subsequent tricks of good fortune, even Ding Chengzong was unexpected.If tracing back to the source, this grudge can be traced to Ding Chengzong's head, then traveling through time and space and changing the fate of the fool Ding Hao, is it the culprit who killed Yang Shi and Luo Dong'er? Seeing him in a daze, Ding Chengzong said in a low voice: "I was poisoned so badly that I would rather die, and in the end it was you who saved me from waking up. I owe you too much. Ding Chengzong is now a useless person. There is no reward to make up for your day, only to end my own life..." He raised his head, stared at Yang Hao, and said in a deep voice: "You have heard what Yan Jiu said. I have guessed this question a little bit, but I have to force the details out of his mouth before I can answer." The truth is out, so I can't die now, I want to go back and find out about this matter. After punishing them, I will give my life to you. It's just..., whether you admit it or not, your body , After all, the blood of the Ding surname is flowing, and by then, you will be the only man of my Ding surname blood, I want to ask you, the whole family, these old and weak women and children, please take good care of them." What Ding Chengzong said was to entrust the women and children of the Ding family to Yang Hao. Naturally, all the property of the Ding family was also entrusted to him. However, although Ding Chengzong heard him say that there are clear grievances, he only seeks Ding Chengye to settle accounts, and will not vent his anger. The members of the Ding clan know that he really hates the Ding family, although the Ding family with strict discipline and rotten family rules has long since been beaten to pieces by Ding Chengye. , but Yang Hao's disgust towards Ding's family will not be eliminated. Maybe it's someone else, anyway, the past is over, and it's hard to come back from death. I wish I could go along with the current and take over the huge property of the Ding family. It's just to take care of three wives, two young ladies, and a few women and children for him. How can such a good thing to find?But he knew that even if the property was ten times larger, it might not be able to move Yang Hao's heart.Otherwise, he would rather move into the city to live, and when he handed over the Ding family, Yang Hao would not still beg for it. After saying this, he stared at Yang Hao intently, hoping that his will would loosen even a little bit, but after looking carefully for a while, he was still disappointed. Yang Hao had no expression on his face, and he was silent for a long time before bending down. Go, clasped his arms with both hands, and said in a low voice, "Get up." Seeing Yang Hao's resolute expression, Ding Chengzong didn't refuse any more, and was lifted up, and someone on both sides pushed the wicker chairs for him to sit down immediately. "I'm going back to Beijing this time by order, and I'm going to detour to Bazhou, just to get revenge." Yang Hao looked at Ding Chengzong and said bluntly: "I won't hide it from you. I know that no matter how many wrong things Ding Chengye has done, he is a brother of the same mother as you. Unless he committed a heinous crime against the Ding family, as long as he can Protect him, you still have to protect him." Ding Chengzong's cheeks twitched slightly: "Now...but not necessarily. Chengye was brought back by Yanjiu. Now that I think about it, he is probably Li Daitao stiff and replaced my real second brother with his own flesh and blood. , I’ve already thought about it, what’s missing now is just a confession.” Yang Hao said: "But before that, you didn't know, and I didn't know either. So when I came to Bazhou, I planned to kill Ding Chengye and Yanjiu secretly. But when my adoptive father took him out from the grassland When I got the poison from the wizard, I had doubts about your stroke and coma, so I changed my course and wanted to see if I could use this antidote to revive you. If the medicine really works, then it is certain that you were poisoned I believe that at that time you will join me in finding the real culprit." Ding Chengzong said with shame: "The Ding family has done too much to you, but you have always repaid your grievances with kindness. Listening to what you say, I am even more ashamed." Yang Hao shook his head lightly, and said: "Now, although we haven't got the conclusive confession we want, the mystery has been clearly revealed, regardless of whether we can get conclusive evidence from Yan Jiu and Ding Chengye, I hope that in the end you can hand over Yan Jiu and Ding Chengye to me." "Yanjiu, Ding Chengye..." Ding Chengzong murmured and repeated, with grief and indignation in his eyes, he nodded heavily. He knew what it meant for Yang Hao to ask for these two people, and he knew that Yang Hao didn't have to ask for it at all. With his consent, he forcibly took the lives of the two men.Yang Hao was willing to ask him, he was willing to hand over these two people to him first, just because he still had a feeling of friendship for him in his heart. Whether this feeling is friendship or family love, he still can't tell the difference, but at least it gave comfort to his lonely and desperate heart , A glimmer of hope emerged. The two went out, boarded the car again and rushed to Wangxiazhuang's other courtyard. Halfway through, they bumped into Mu Yu rushing forward with four guards. Ding Chengye, can you see what they said? Why did you bring everyone out, what happened to you?" As soon as Mu Yu saw Yang Hao, Fang Shi breathed a sigh of relief, the nervous expression on his face disappeared, and he replied happily: "My lord, Yan Jiu received a slap from my lord, and she is still unconscious. We talked. The subordinates were watching them, but Miss Ding said that the northwestern region is fiercely guarded, and most people practice martial arts. Now the Ding family's servants are all Ding Chengye and Yan Jiu's confidantes, and they can't rely on them. If the people in the Lu family are anxious and violent, and the adults only take four people with them, and Young Master Ding is sick and weak, he may not be able to take care of himself, so he asked me to bring someone to help the adults. The subordinates think that it is the subordinates who protect the safety of the adults. If your lord makes any mistake, it will be terrible, so I brought someone here." Ding Chengzong frowned, and asked in a deep voice, "Now... who is looking after them?" Mu Yu said: "Yanjiu was seriously injured, half dead, so it doesn't matter. As for Ding Chengye, the eldest lady has already asked the long-term workers of your mansion to tie Ding Chengye to the pillar. There are four long-term workers guarding him, and the eldest lady is all alone. Martial arts, no problem." Only then did Yang Hao and Ding Chengzong feel relieved, one was seriously injured and the other was tied up, it was unexpected that they still had the ability to escape.Together, the two of them rushed back to Wangxia Village, and when they entered the gate, and then went to the hall, they saw Ding Yuluo sitting there upright, with staring eyes, as if he didn't even see them coming in.Yang Hao and Ding Chengzong looked at each other, feeling strange in their hearts. "Yuluo, Yuluo!" Ding Chengzong raised his voice and yelled twice, Ding Yuluo suddenly woke up, jumped up from the chair, saw the person in front of him clearly, and asked: "The person who caused trouble in the Lu family , already sent away?" Ding Chengzong nodded, and asked strangely: "You are out of your mind, what are you thinking?" Ding Yuluo forced a smile, brushed the hair on his sideburns lightly, and said softly: "Brother, I have something to say to him alone, is that okay?" Yang Hao and Ding Chengzong looked at each other, Yang Hao nodded slightly, Ding Yuluo saw that he agreed, turned around and went out, Yang Hao silently followed behind her, the two turned into a wing on the right, Ding Yuluo Luo turned his head to stand still, looked at him silently, and said after a long while: "In the past six months, I have often thought about where you will live and how you will live. There is an unconscious big brother in front of you. In the distance, a man living in a foreign land Second elder brother, there is only one younger brother left, but he is a complete jerk. Seeing that the family business that my father worked so hard to create has been wiped out by him, and I am a daughter's family, but my heart is powerless. This heart... is really miserable... " Taking care of an unconscious relative is just a matter of words, but if you really want to do it, how much hard work and hard work will you have to put in? , is she living a hard life?Others only saw her current weakness, who would have expected how much burden her immature shoulders could bear until today?After all, she was just an eighteen-year-old girl. As she spoke, two lines of clear tears slowly flowed out: "You have suffered too much in the Ding family, and the Ding family is sorry for you. Fortunately... people are kind and deceiving, but heaven does not deceive us. I haven't seen you in half a year. You have already done it." I have become a high-ranking official of the imperial court. With your help, my eldest brother has woken up, and I have nothing to ask for." Seeing her tone of voice and expression, Yang Hao felt a little ominous in his heart, but when he saw her crying, he still comforted him: "People from the Ding family are indeed sorry for me, but at least... you have never done anything wrong to me. thing." Ding Yuluo's face was full of tears, but he smiled brightly: "It didn't happen before, but now, my sister has done something I'm sorry for you." Yang Hao's heart sank, and he said hurriedly, "What do you mean?" Ding Yuluo bent his knees, slowly knelt down on the ground, and said quietly: "I know, although Chengye didn't do Aunt Yang's death and Dong'er's death himself, he couldn't explain it away. I know, you One of the important purposes of going to Beijing to take office this time and bypassing Bazhou is to kill him for revenge. I know that in your heart, his crime is unforgivable..." She burst into tears and said, "But, no matter what, he is my brother. Even if he has done too many wrong things outside, I can't be too ungrateful and selfless. , waiting for you to take his life. Immovable, unfeeling, that is the realm of Buddha, Yuluo is just an ordinary person..." Yang Hao said in a deep voice, "What did you do?" "I have... let him go..." Yang Hao was stunned for a while, then laughed "ha", nodded and said: "Okay, very good..." What else did Ding Yuluo want to say, but Yang Hao reached out to stop her and asked, "How is Yanjiu doing now?" "He died of his wounds." Yang Hao breathed a sigh of relief, with a smile on his face, but no smile in his eyes, which made Ding Yuluo dare not look at him. Yang Hao said indifferently: "My revenge is only half. Hehe, the Ding family, after all You have to face the members of the Ding family, no matter how much he has done wrong. From your standpoint, you have done nothing wrong, so why bother to apologize to me? " Although Yang Hao said nothing serious, these words made Ding Yuluo more embarrassing than the heavy responsibility. She was stabbed by Yang Hao like a knife, but she really couldn't think of a way to get the best of both worlds. The dead are dead, and the living But it was her mother's brother, how could she just sit back and watch him be killed? Yang Hao felt a sense of loss, a sense of helplessness, and a pain in his heart, but he could only suppress it in his heart.Yes, in his eyes, Ding Chengye would never be redeemed after a hundred deaths, but how did he see it in Ding Yuluo's eyes?That's her brother.Maybe she won't think about it when she knows what Ding Chengye has done, but now there is no need to explain it to her.He laughed at himself, and walked away after speaking. Ding Yuluo knelt on the ground and looked at his back in a daze. She knew that the more Yang Hao didn't explode, the more resentment he would feel in his heart. After going out this time, he would never look back.But what can she say? After a long time, she slowly stood up while supporting the table, and walked out the door. Ding Chengzong was sitting in the hall, and the four long-term workers looked like children who had done something wrong, standing aside with their heads down, holding their breath and not daring to speak.Just now Yang Hao's face turned pale, without saying a word, he went to the left wing to look at the cold body of Yan Jiu, and then he took his guards and walked away. When Xiaoqing and Xiaoyuan came to ask about the situation, Ding Chengzong's heart became cold. Ding Yuluo's heart is really miserable now. Originally, when the second brother came back and the eldest brother was awake, her heart was like a sky covered by dark clouds for a long time, finally revealing such a ray of light, but she couldn't ignore him and die for this unworthy pity. Little brother, she really made herself look like a human being inside and out.The second brother left in a fit of anger, and will never recognize her as a younger sister again in his life. As for the eldest brother, will he forgive himself for letting Chengye go? "Brother, I..." Ding Yuluo walked up to Ding Chengzong, and as soon as he opened his mouth, Ding Chengzong sneered: "Shut up, my Ding family, how can I do such a foolish thing like you?" "Yes! I'm confused!" Ding Yuluo raised his head bravely, his eyes no longer wandering: "For him, my sister feels guilty, no matter whether he is from our Ding family or not, but the Ding family has never given What is he, he has paid too much for the Ding family. I let go of my brother, his enemy, and I am sorry for him. But..., my name is Ding Yuluo, and I did nothing wrong!" "You..." Ding Chengzong's pale cheeks flushed with anger, but Ding Yuluo's voice was clear and firm: "Even if I know that doing this will disappoint him and make him sad, I have no choice. The reason for doing this is not for others." Yes, it's because I'm from the Ding family. No matter how stupid Chengye's deeds are, even if the evidence is convincing, even if he is sent to the government for punishment, he will not be guilty of death. I know... I know that he has done something that I'm sorry for big brother The matter, but according to the crime, it is only three years of exile. Even if you don't talk about the king's law and only talk about human feelings, do you have the heart to kill him? Brothers kill each other, and parents can't rest in peace..." "Confused!" Ding Chengzong was so angry that he slapped Ding Yuluo's face loudly, and five fingerprints immediately appeared on that thin and pale cheek. "Get out, you all get out." Ding Chengzong grabbed the handrail tightly with both hands, and shouted at Xiaoqing, Xiaoyuan and the four long-term workers, and they hurriedly retreated, leaving only Ding Chengzong and Ding Yuluo brother and sister in the hall . With tears in his eyes, Ding Chengzong said in a painful voice, "Yuluo, you have made a big mistake this time!"
Lu Xiangwu hurried out of the Ding's compound with her head down. She didn't dare to raise her head, didn't dare to look at the strange eyes of those servants. No one was there, so she burst into tears. It was cold and windy, and the surrounding fields were covered with white snow. She didn't know where she should go now.What was wrong was already wrong, and there was no way to turn back. Under the so-called help, but in fact monitoring, of Aunt Ding and a few maids, she was ashamed to bring even a box of jewelry, so she took a divorce letter and purged herself. out of the house. In Ding Chengzong's divorce letter, he didn't say a word about her disobedience to women. He only said that he had become disabled and disheartened. , but... Ten miles and eight villages have already vaguely heard about her affair with Ding Chengye. Now that she is abandoned by Ding Chengzong, can she hide it from others? She didn't know where to go, and she didn't know how to go in the future, so she just walked forward in such a daze, subconsciously walking in the direction of Bazhou Mansion.But the further she walked, the heavier her footsteps became. Her natal family, because Ding Chengye had turned against her, had long since disowned her as a daughter. Now with a divorce letter, how could she enter her own family? Lu Xiangwu cried all the way, walked all the way, staggered, tears dried up, passed Lijiazhuang, saw the rushing big river in the Woxue Field, Lu Xiangwu looked at the river water obsessively, the cold wind swept her in a mess His hair and face were blue with cold.But she stood motionless on the rocks by the river. There is no way to go to heaven, and no way to go to earth.She doesn't know whether she should hate Ding Chengye or herself, it doesn't matter now, the wind is blowing to the bone, and there is no warmth in her heart, the river in front of her may be her best destination . Dong'er, the little widow who was scolded by the villagers and soaked in a pig cage by Dong Li's family members, died in this river.This time, if I saw her, I don't know if she would make fun of me, that Dong'er... At least she can express her love to others in public, the person she loves is also worthy of her love.She is dead, there is a man who is willing to fight for her with the strong men in the village of Lijiazhuang, there is a man who is willing to kill two lives for her and wander the world, but what about me? Lu Xiangwu suddenly felt a little envious of Luo Dong'er: "When she is dead, there are always people thinking about her. After becoming such a high-ranking official, she still doesn't forget to come back to avenge her grievances. For a woman to do this, she should be in this lifetime." contented.And what about myself?Probably like the bubbles in the water, it will disappear as soon as it flashes, and when you die, you will die. No one will remember me... Lu Xiangwu smiled miserably, covered her face with her sleeves, and jumped into the river... "Master, someone jumped into the river..." "Really?" Zheng Chenghe, Guangyuan's first jealous husband, poked his head out of the sedan chair, looked at the big river, opened his toad mouth like a thunder tiger, and sighed, "What's the picture?" , how cold it is." After saying that, she retracted her head. "Yes." The handlebar also sighed: "Although I haven't seen her appearance clearly, but look at that figure, it should be convex, it should be concave, it's quite eye-catching." With a "whoosh", Zheng Chenghe poked his head out again, stared into a pair of blistered eyes and said, "What do you say? It's a woman? Ouch, you blind bastard, stop, stop, hurry up and save someone!" Zheng Chenghe jumped onto the shaft of the car, holding a warm handbag and gesticulating to his followers: "Hurry up, hurry up, let me go down to catch people, master, whoever catches them, I will reward you five times, if you don't." Shiguan..., I'm still stunned by your mother, get into the water, your grandma..."
A small flower hall was temporarily converted into a place where the Ding family's ancestral tablets were placed. The ever-burning lamps and candles were dimly lit, exuding a faint fragrance of milk. Ding Chengzong, dressed in gray, sat quietly on the futon in front of the incense table , looking at the straight light with both eyes, I don't know what I was thinking. Ding Yuluo quietly pushed open the door and walked in, walking like a cat, so lightly that she made no sound, only making the candle light flicker slightly.If Ding Chengzong felt it, he turned his head gently, and saw Ding Yuluo's short robe and trousers, a cloth belt wrapped around his waist, a pair of soap boots for catching ground tigers, a dagger at his waist, and a package slung across his shoulders. . Her cheeks have been dyed yellow with ginger juice, and she has a beard glued on. She is dressed like a handsome, thin young man. She wears a leather hat with ear coverings, and she is dressed in a half-beard and half-han, just like the northerners are used to traveling far dress up. "Brother, I'm ready." Ding Chengzong silently turned his head back: "Brother knows, it's been hard for you these days, I thought I could handle these things well, I don't want you to know those nasty things anymore, who would have given him the opportunity to deceive you with sweet words You. But this is not the reason for you to forgive yourself, you have done something wrong, you have to make up for it yourself. " Ding Yuluo said quietly: "I know, this time, I won't let my brother down." Ding Chengzong said: "Brother didn't speculate on him because of his own grievances. What Yanjiu said before his death, coupled with my calm analysis these days, I absolutely believe that what he said when he was so complacent was not a lie. He was poisoned, and his father was also killed by them. Ding Chengye...is not a descendant of our Ding family! Even if he was, he would be guilty of killing his father, do you understand?" "I see!" "Okay, kneel before the ancestor's spiritual tablet!" Ding Yuluo went to a futon and knelt down on both knees. Ding Chengzong said word by word: "Now, you swear to your father and your ancestors that you must avenge this!" Ding Yuluo knocked his head down heavily, and Ding Chengzong's voice echoed in the empty room, a little tense: "If you can bring him back alive, bring him to the spiritual seat of your ancestors, if you can't, Just kill him and bring his head back, otherwise, you will never have to come back!" "Yes!" Ding Yuluo kowtowed again, Ding Chengzong's eyes were filled with tears, and he suddenly turned his head away.He is not such a cold person, and actually he doesn't want Ding Yu to fall into a girl's house to take on such a responsibility, but he has no legs. This mission can only be done by a girl, and he can only force himself to feel like that. iron stone. "Brother..." Ding Yuluo walked to the door, tightened his belt, turned his head and looked back, and asked, "Ding's house and fields have been sold by him. After I leave, what are you... going to do?" ?” "There is nothing to do." Ding Chengzong sat cross-legged in front of the ever-burning lamp, without turning his head, and said: "If it is broken, it will not be restored to its original appearance if it is glued together again. You can buy the land again after selling it, and you can buy it again after selling the house." Gai, but people’s hearts have been lost, and it’s hard to get back together. After you leave, I’ll take my family to Luling Prefecture, and if you complete your mission, go there and meet me.” Ding Yuluo's expression was a little excited, and he said in a low voice: "I...we broke his heart again and again, he...will he forgive us?" Ding Chengzong closed his eyes, and said quietly: "He didn't forgive me, it was his business. I just want peace of mind. You go, I will go to Luling Prefecture tomorrow..."
Rolling down the hillside, Ding Chengye got up panting and fled all the way. His clothes were all torn and tattered. He used to have pretty features, red lips and white teeth. Looking at his appearance alone, he was definitely a good man beyond gold and jade, but now he Unkempt and unkempt, almost no doubt like a beggar. That Yang Hao is really ruthless, he actually used the power of the Bazhou government, and the sea arrest documents were scattered, leaving him with no way to go to the sky and nowhere to go to the earth. In desperation, he couldn't help but think of that old slave Yanjiu what was said. After thinking about it repeatedly, he really couldn't think of the effect of Yan Jiu's lies at that time. Could it be that the old slave was really loyal to me?He has a brother who is a general in the Northland, and he is willing to stay in the Ding Mansion to take care of me? Ding Chengye judged others by himself, it was hard to believe that there would be such a foolish and loyal person in the world, but he couldn't find any reason for him to harm him, so he had no choice but to flee to northern Xinjiang with the hope of what might happen.If what Yan Jiu said was a lie, there were not a few Han people in the north, and he didn't have to worry about the crimes he committed in the Southern Dynasty when he got here.If Yan Jiu was telling the truth, who would know that he killed the old slave?I found that Northern General named Lu Yisheng, for his elder brother's sake, he wouldn't treat me badly. With such thoughts in mind, Ding Chengye chose the remote mountains to go north. At night, he went to the villages to steal some food. If he was hungry, he finally reached the border.He thought that this kind of place would not have his sea arrest document, but who would have thought that when he went to the village to beg, he would be recognized by someone. The people in this kind of place are even more powerful. Zhuang joyfully ran to catch people, scared him to flee, and finally climbed over this snow mountain, fortunately, this is the border of Khitan people, he finally don't have to worry about someone chasing him. The snow here is extremely thick, except for the footprints of some birds and beasts, there are no other traces to be seen on the snow. Ding Chengye was exhausted from walking with one foot deep and one foot shallow. When he looked back, he was only two feet away from that mountain. Ding Chengye couldn't help crying inwardly: "At this speed, I'm afraid he will starve to death or be bitten to death by wild beasts before he can reach the place where there are people." After passing through a forest, he couldn't walk anymore. He grabbed two handfuls of snow and swallowed his stomach. Just as he wiped his mouth, he heard a loud voice: "Wu Nahan, don't move around. What are you doing?" Ding Chengye turned his head and saw a few big men dressed in fur hats, fur jackets and Hufu standing not far away and staring at him with bows and arrows. Ding Chengye burst into tears as if he saw his relatives: "Don't kill me, don't kill me, I...I am the...uh...a distant relative of your Southern Academy General Lu Yisheng, so I am here to join you!" "Lu Yisheng?" Several big Khitan patrolling men looked suspicious, the general of the Southern Court?This official sounds like a big official, but why have I never heard of such a person? The military attributes of the Khitan in the northern kingdom are very complicated. In addition to the palace tent army directly under the royal family and the chief tribal army composed of tribal troops of princes and ministers, there are also tribal armies composed of Khitan, Xi and other nomadic peoples. The nature of Wujing Township Ding and the affiliated tribes outside the Liao Dynasty belonged to the national army.Each has its own affiliation, and there are many factions. It is possible that the generals of each army are not familiar with the other departments, but since this man is talking about a general, it is a bit strange that no one has heard of it. Little did they know that Lu Yiyi, the Great General, was just a cheap official position conferred by the emperor of the Northern Kingdom. He himself gathered 3,000 people, and in the middle area between the Song Dynasty and the Northern Kingdom, he was still engaged in the business of looting houses, and he was not an official general of the Northern Kingdom at all.Hearing Ding Chengye's prudence, the soldiers of the tribal army didn't make things too difficult for him. They searched him, found no weapons, and escorted him to meet their tribal leader...
"My lord, shall we leave now?" Yang Hao sat in the car and nodded silently. The culprit, Yan Jiu, is dead. Although the truth has not been fully revealed, at least he is known to be the culprit. Yang Hao has also vaguely guessed what happened from Yan Jiu's words. This is just the folk version Mrs. Ding's natal family was robbed. In order to free her descendants from being slaves, Yanjiu used flowers and trees to describe her son as Mrs. Ding's posthumous son. When he grew up, he tried to kill him. The members of the Ding family let their son take over the family business. This kind of guessing should be close to ten. He, Yang Hao, was just unfortunate enough to perform so well that Ding Tingxun, whose eldest son was crippled and the second son was incompetent, moved his mind, so he became a victim of this conspiracy.If he was still the ignorant Ding Hao from before, he and the Yang family would still be serving as slaves in the Ding family. Whether the master was Ding Tingxun or Ding Chengye, it made no difference to them servants. He couldn't think of a better way to deal with that Lan'er. Lan'er is just a servant. She doesn't follow Ding Chengye and Yan Jiu, and there will be others who will let Ding Chengye and Yan Jiu do it for money or fear of power. In this conspiracy, her role is really limited, since the crime is not fatal, should she be beaten? I heard that she has been sold by Ding Chengzong's matchmaker. This matchmaker is Granny Liu. Granny Liu knows a little about his grievances with the Ding family. She also knows that Lan'er is sorry for the tiger. It would be enough to find her a good home. Ding Chengye fled, but it was predictable that he would never go back to the Ding family. Ever since he heard Yan Jiu's words, he had no self, and Ding Chengzong could not spare him.He can no longer be the domineering second young master.The sky is big and the earth is big, so there may not be a day when we meet each other.What's more, he also met with Zhao Tongpan in secret, and found some excuses to make people pretend to be the master of suffering and rely on Ding Chengye. Dude, he doesn't have the ability to survive alone, maybe he won't be able to escape the jurisdiction of Bazhou, and he will be caught back. It's just that he can't wait that long, he has to go now, he can't just live for the dead, let alone just for a mere Ding Chengye, he can't make the emperor wait for a long time.Now, he has to go to Kaifeng to see the emperor. 车轮动了，微微有些颠簸，杨浩悠悠地叹了口气，这趟回来，还是没有打听到臊猪儿的消息。认识臊猪儿的人本就不多，柳婆婆动用了那么多消息灵通的城狐社鼠，对一个乡村大户人家的小家仆，也没有用武之地。娘亲杨氏已经死了、冬儿也已经死了，那个自幼相依为命的大良哥呢？ 想起当初为霸州府挖渠，河堤泥土中掘出的一副骸骨，杨浩的心头不由一寒：“这贼老天欺负得我已经够狠了，可不要再让猪儿就这么无声无息地沉尸河底啊，天大地大，只求你大发慈悲，让我兄弟有重逢的一天……” 车轮辘辘，神思悠悠，杨浩想着那下落不明的臊猪儿，却未料到此时芦岭州里正上演着一出“倒程”的好戏……
