Ding Chengzong sat still, just writing and splashing ink. Lu Xiangwu held his breath and knelt on the ground, not daring to breathe. Everything about Ding Chengzong was destroyed in her hands. Now she is helpless and has no way to turn to. The only person she can rely on is Ding Chengzong.
, what else could she say? Ding Chengzong didn't say a word, and Lu Xiangwu's heart felt like it was hanging on a nine-foot cliff.
She bowed her head to the ground. The room was eerily quiet, and she could only faintly hear the rustling of the pen on the paper. After a while, Lu Xiangwu could no longer bear the torture, and finally broke down and cried:
"Official, I know I'm wrong. I don't dare to say anything about what happened in the past. I just hope that the official can forgive me. I'm willing to serve you at your knees, be a slave, a maid, an ox or a horse, and I don't dare to complain at all.
, Officer, spare me, spare me..."
She cried, talked, and kowtowed, and her forehead hit the floor with an "empty" sound. Ding Chengzong lifted his pen, rolled up his robe sleeves, and sighed softly: "How can we talk about the word "rao"?"
Around the sleeves of his robe, the piece of paper floated down from the case, swayed for a few times, and floated in front of Lu Xiangwu. Ink was dripping on the paper, and all he could see was a cliff, a pine, and a month like a hook. The strokes were concise, and at a glance
Looking at it, I felt a cold, solemn and murderous aura blowing towards my face.
After listening to Ding Chengzong's words, Lu Xiangwu was stunned at first, and then ecstatically said: "He...he doesn't blame me? Doesn't he blame me? The officials can't bear to blame me. It doesn't matter even if they neglect me. From now on, I just need to be careful and serve you with all my heart."
, are you afraid that you can’t coax him to change his mind?”
Lu Xiangwu immediately kowtowed and said in thanks: "Official, what the slave family did is really embarrassing to the official, but the official is so magnanimous. The slave family is inexplicably ashamed. From now on, the slave family will definitely change their minds, start a new life, and stay by the official's side wholeheartedly..."
Ding Chengzong took another piece of paper, looked at the sky for a long time, raised his hand and dipped it in ink, wrote quickly, the pen moved quickly, stopped for a moment, dipped it in thick ink again, and hung it on the paper for a long time, a drop of ink fell like a tear.
He took advantage of the situation and wrote three more words, threw the page in front of Lu Xiangwu, and said calmly: "There is no need for mercy. If we agree, we will come. If we don't, we will go. Even though I, Ding Chengzong, am disabled, I will not tolerate it."
A woman like you! No matter whether the Ding family is rich or poor, they will not tolerate a woman like you in the ancestral grave!"
Lu Xiangwu was stunned for a moment, holding the paper in his hand. He could only see clearly the two characters "Slip of Divorce" above his head, and felt dizzy. In a daze, he saw Ding Chengzong sitting upright. Although he was half shorter, his spine was still straight.
Straight, like a proud and relaxed plant.
He slowly pushed the case aside, put his hands on the ground, and walked slowly towards the door. Lu Xiangwu was so frightened that it seemed as if the last trace of support was about to leave her. She couldn't help but cry out sadly and rushed forward to press the button.
She caught Ding Chengzong's long robe that was dragging on the ground and looked at him with pleading eyes. The sorrow and sorrow in her eyes could move even a hard-hearted person.
She only hoped that Ding Chengzong would look back at him. But Ding Chengzong never turned around to look back. He still moved towards the door step by step, and the robe slipped inch by inch from Lu Xiangwu's slender fingers. Lu Xiangwu watched in despair as his fingers pressed
On the last lap of my robe, I heard Ding Chengzong chanting in a low voice: "Once you practice, you can practice everything. Once you break everything, you can achieve all the realizations. It's like cutting silk to dye it. In one moment, you can reach Bodhi..."
Ding Chengzong opened the shoji door and saw his father, Mrs. Xuexian Zhou, holding his nine-year-old sister. His father's two concubines and several personal maids were standing in the courtyard with sad faces, watching in panic.
He, Ding Chengzong, was speechless. The two Yang Hao guards guarding the door lifted him onto a wicker chair. At this time, his little sister finally couldn't help but timidly called out: "Brother."
Ding Chengzong smiled sadly and said softly: "Little sister..."
He looked up at Mrs. Zhou and the two Mrs. Ru again, and saw the worry and hesitation in their eyes, and said: "Auntie, Second Niang, Third Niang, it is the duty of a man of the Ding family to take care of you. A man of the Ding family
If you don't die for a day, you are not an orphan or a widower.
Please ask the aunt to bring a few personal maids to help Xiang Wu clean up and send her away. There are still some unfinished things in the front hall, and I have to rush there. Second Niang, Third Niang, you go back to the room to rest.
It hasn't collapsed yet, so you don't have to worry."
Mrs. Zhou nodded and took her little daughter's hand. The two concubines also showed expressions of gratitude and relief on their faces. They watched Ding Chengzong being carried onto a wicker chair by two guards and walked towards the front hall, with uneasy hearts.
Finally settled down a little bit.
The hall upon entering the second courtyard was deserted. Only Yang Hao was sitting silently on a chair. There were two burly men standing at the door of the hall, and there was no one else.
As soon as he saw Ding Chengzong coming 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 pressed down with his palm to stop his movement, and said again: "Help me up!"
Two big men on the left and right hurriedly stepped forward to lift him up. Ding Chengzong left the chair and came to Yang Hao. Suddenly he shook his arms and broke free from the support of the two big men. He knelt down in front of Yang Hao with a "pop" sound.
Yang Hao was shocked and quickly stepped forward to help: "Young Master, what are you... doing?"
Ding Chengzong said in a harsh voice: "You have the utmost love for the Ding family. The entire Ding family has been sorry for you. Today, I want to apologize to you."
Yang Hao hurriedly said: "How can I say this? It's Ding Chengye's fault that Ding Chengye harmed me. Yang Hao is not the kind of person who makes grudges against one person and hates the whole family. What's more, when I was in Ding Mansion, the eldest young master protected me in every possible way.
, I will always keep that affection in my heart.”
Ding Chengzong smiled bitterly and said sadly: "No, you don't know, back then... Mr. Cheng, the defense envoy of Guangyuan, sent a letter inviting you to go to Guangyuan, but in order to keep you, I burned the letter."
Yang Hao was stunned. The truth of this public case was finally revealed. He originally thought that the Ye family car dealership had lost the letter, but unexpectedly it fell into the hands of Ding Chengzong. Ding Chengzong told the whole story of that day and felt sad.
Said: "If you had left that day, you wouldn't have encountered those things in the future. After all, I am the culprit."
Yang Hao was stunned for a long time, and the past events came to his mind one by one, and he had mixed feelings for a while. He also had some resentment in his heart, but he couldn't do it with his reason to hate Ding Chengzong. Yes, that letter was written by Ding Chengzong
It was burned, but if Ding Chengzong had not 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 persuade 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 considered an attempt to harm him? As for the subsequent fate
The trick was something that even Ding Chengzong didn't expect. If we trace the source, this revenge can be traced to Ding Chengzong. Then if he traveled through time and space and changed the fate of the fool Ding Hao, does he kill the Yang family?
Where is the culprit with Luo Donger?
Seeing that he was lost in thought, Ding Chengzong said in a low voice: "I was poisoned to the point of death, and you saved me in the end. I owe you so much. Ding Chengzong is now a useless person.
There is no way to compensate for your day, so I can only take my own life..."
He raised his head, stared at Yang Hao, and said in a deep voice: "You also heard what Yan Jiu said. I have already guessed this question to some extent, but I have to force the details out of him.
The truth has been revealed, so I can’t die now. I want to go back and find out the matter. After punishing them, I will hand over my life to you. It’s just..., whether you admit it or not, what’s on your body
, after all, the blood of people with the surname Ding flows. By then, you will be the only man of my Ding family bloodline. I want to beg you, the whole family, these old, weak, women and children, please take good care of them."
With these words, Ding Chengzong entrusted the Ding family's women and children to Yang Hao. Naturally, all the Ding family's property was also entrusted to him. However, although Ding Chengzong heard that he had clear grievances and only wanted to settle accounts with Ding Chengye, he would not express his anger.
People 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 been beaten beyond recognition by Ding Chengye, it has only turned into a fortune and is no longer what it was before.
, but Yang Hao’s deep feeling of disgust towards the Ding family will never be eliminated.
Maybe it's someone else. Anyway, the past is over and it's hard to come back from the dead. I wish I could go with the flow 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 be done?
Looking for it? But he knew that even if the property was ten times bigger, it might not be able to impress Yang Hao. Otherwise, when he would rather move into the city and give up the Ding family, Yang Hao would not insist on asking for it.
.
After saying this, he looked at Yang Hao intently, hoping that his will would relax even slightly. However, after looking carefully for a long time, he was still disappointed. Yang Hao had no expression on his face. He was silent for a long time before leaning down.
Go, hold your arms with both hands, and whisper: "Get up."
Seeing Yang Hao's determined look, Ding Chengzong did not refuse anymore and was lifted up. Someone on both sides immediately pushed the wicker chair and asked him to sit down.
"This time I returned to Beijing with orders and took a detour to Bazhou in order to avenge myself."
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 and you are brothers from the same mother. Unless he has committed a heinous crime against the Ding family, as long as he can
To defend him, you still have to defend him."
Ding Chengzong's cheeks twitched slightly: "Now... it may not be possible. Chengye was brought back by Yan Jiu. Now that I think about it, he probably replaced my real second brother with his own flesh and blood.
, I have already thought of it, all that is missing now is a confession."
Yang Hao said: "But before that, you didn't know, and neither did I. So when I came to Bazhou, I planned to kill Ding Chengye and Yan Jiu secretly. However, when my adoptive father took out the weapons he had taken from the grassland,
When I got the poison from the wizard, I became suspicious of your stroke and coma, so I changed my mind and wanted to see if I could use this antidote to revive you. If this medicine really works, then there is no doubt that you have been poisoned.
I believe you will work with me to find the real murderer then."
Ding Chengzong said with shame: "The Ding family has done so much to you, but you keep repaying evil with kindness. When you say it, I feel even more ashamed."
Yang Hao shook his head slightly and said: "Now, although the conclusive confession we want has not yet been obtained, 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."
"Yan Jiu, Ding Chengye..." Ding Chengzong murmured and repeated, with a sad and angry look in his eyes. He nodded heavily. He knew what Yang Hao meant by asking for these two people, and he also knew that Yang Hao did not need to ask for it at all.
I took it by force with his consent.
The lives of these two people. Yang Hao was willing to ask him, and was willing to hand over these two people to him first, just because he still had feelings for him in his heart. He couldn't tell whether this was friendship or family affection, but at least it made him lonely.
Comfort arose in the despairing heart, and a glimmer of hope emerged.
The two of them went out, boarded the car again and rushed to Wangxiazhuang Villa. Halfway through, they bumped into Mu Yu who was rushing towards him with four guards. Yang Hao said in shock: "Xiao Yu, I didn't ask you to watch over Yan Jiu.
Ding Chengye, do you want to see what they said? Why did you bring everyone out? What happened?"
When Mu Yu saw Yang Hao, he breathed a sigh of relief, and the nervous look on his face disappeared, and he happily replied: "Sir, Yan Jiu received a hard blow from you, and is still unconscious. For a while, it may be difficult to communicate with others."
They had a conversation. The subordinates were originally watching over them, but Miss Ding said that the guard style in the northwest is fierce and most people practice martial arts. Now the Ding family’s servants are all gone.
They are all the confidants of Ding Chengye and Yan Jiu and cannot be relied upon. If the Lu family becomes so popular that they use force, I will only lead four people. Young Master Ding is also sick and weak, so I may not be able to take care of everything. Please ask me to bring someone to help you.
I thought that protecting the safety of the Lord is my first responsibility. If anything happens to the Lord, it would be terrible, so I brought someone here."
Ding Chengzong frowned and asked in a deep voice: "Who is looking after them now?"
Mu Yu said: "Yan Jiu was seriously injured and is half dead. It doesn't matter. As for Ding Chengye, the eldest lady has asked the long-term workers of your house to tie Ding Chengye to the pillar. The four long-term workers are guarding him, plus the eldest lady.
Martial arts is no problem."
Yang Hao and Ding Chengzong were relieved. One was seriously injured and the other was tied up. Unexpectedly, they still had the ability to escape. The two of them got together and rushed back to Wangxiazhuang. When they entered the gate and entered the hall, they saw Ding Yu
Luo Zheng was sitting there upright, with a straight look in his eyes, as if he hadn't even seen them come in. Yang Hao and Ding Chengzong looked at each other, feeling strange in their hearts.
"Yuluo, Yuluo!" Ding Chengzong raised his voice and shouted twice. Ding Yuluo suddenly woke up and jumped up from the chair. When she saw the person in front of her clearly, she asked: "Who is causing trouble in the Lu family?"
,Already sent away?"
Ding Chengzong nodded and asked strangely: "You are distracted, what are you thinking about?"
Ding Yuluo forced a smile, gently brushed his hair at the temples, 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. Seeing that he agreed, Ding Yu turned around and walked out. Yang Hao followed her silently. The two turned into a wing on the right, and Ding Yu
She turned her head and stood still, looking at him silently. After a while, she said: "In the past six months, I have often thought, I wonder if you will
Wherever you live, how will you live? In front of you is an unconscious eldest brother. Far away, a second brother is living in a foreign land. There is only one younger brother left, but he is a complete bastard. Seeing that the family fortune that his father has worked so hard to create is ruined by him.
I have no money, but my daughter’s family is powerless. This heart... is really unspeakable..."
Taking care of an unconscious relative is just a matter of words, but if you really do it, how much effort and hardship it takes. At the same time, you have to fight with your useless brother all day long, and you are isolated and helpless.
, Isn’t she living a bitter life? Others only see her current weakness, who would expect her to support her until today, how much weight can her immature shoulders bear? After all, she is only 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 others bully, but God will not bully. I haven't seen you for half a year, and you have done what you have done."
I am a high-ranking official of the imperial court. With your help, my eldest brother has also woken up, and I have nothing more to ask for."
Yang Hao looked at her tone and expression, and felt a vague feeling of foreboding in his heart, but when he saw her crying, he comforted her: "The Ding family members are indeed sorry for me, but at least... you have never done anything to feel sorry for me.
thing."
Ding Yuluo's face was filled with tears, but she smiled brightly: "I didn't do it before, but now, my sister has done something sorry for you."
Yang Hao's heart sank and he asked urgently: "What do you mean?"
Ding Yuluo bent his knees, slowly knelt on the ground, and said quietly: "I know that although Chengye did not do it with his own hands, Aunt Yang's death and Dong'er's death can't be spared. I know, you
This time I went to Beijing to take office and detoured to Bazhou, one of my important purposes was to kill him for revenge. I know that in your heart, his sin is unforgivable..."
Tears welled up in her eyes, and she said in tears: "But no matter what, he is my brother. Even if he does too many wrong things outside, I can't be too selfless and selfless to watch."
, waiting for you to come and take his life. Immobility, emotionlessness, 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 long time, laughed "ha", nodded and said: "Okay, very good..."
Ding Yuluo was about to say something else, but Yang Hao stopped her with his hand and asked, "How is Yan Jiu doing now?"
"He died of his injuries."
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 lightly: "My revenge is only half of it. Haha, the Ding family, after all,
You have to go to the Ding family, no matter how many faults they have. From your point of view, you have done nothing wrong, why do you need to apologize to me? "
Although Yang Hao didn't say anything serious, these words made Ding Yuluo more embarrassed than the heavy responsibility. She was stabbed to the core by Yang Hao, but she really couldn't think of a way to have both ends. The dead was dead, and the living
But he was her brother from the same mother. How could she sit back and watch him be killed?
There was a kind of loss, a kind of helplessness, and a kind of pain in Yang Hao's heart, but he could only suppress it in his heart. Yes, in his eyes, Ding Chengye had no chance of redemption, but how did he see it in Ding Yuluo's eyes?
That was her brother. Maybe she would stop thinking about it after she knew everything Ding Chengye had done, but there was no need to explain it to her now. He smiled mockingly, and after finishing speaking, he walked away with a flourish.
Ding Yuluo knelt on the ground and looked at his back in a daze. She knew that the longer Yang Hao did not explode, the heavier the resentment in his heart became. If he walked out this time, he would never look back. But what could she say again?
What?
After a long time, she slowly stood up holding on to the table and walked out the door.
Ding Chengzong was sitting in the hall. The four long-term workers looked like children who had done something wrong. They stood aside with their heads lowered, holding their breath and not daring to speak. Just then, Yang Hao came out with a livid face. Without saying anything, he went to the left wing to look at the geese.
With Jiu's cold body, he took his bodyguard and walked away. Ding Chengzong couldn't help calling him, so he knew something had happened, and immediately called Xiaoqing and Xiaoyuan. When he asked what happened, Ding Chengzong's heart became cold.
Ding Yuluo's heart is really miserable now. Originally, her second brother came back and her eldest brother was awake. Her heart was like a sky that had been covered by dark clouds for a long time, and finally a ray of light came out. But she died for this person who was not worthy of pity but could not ignore him.
Her younger brother, she really made herself a human being inside and out. The second brother left in a rage and would never recognize her as a sister again in his life. As for the eldest brother, would he forgive her and let Chengye go?
"Brother, I..." Ding Yuluo walked up to Ding Chengzong. As soon as he opened his mouth, Ding Chengzong sneered: "Shut up, how could a member of my Ding family do such a stupid thing as you?"
"Yes! I was confused!" Ding Yuluo raised his head bravely, his eyes no longer wandering: "My sister feels sorry for him. No matter whether he is a member of our Ding family or not, the Ding family has never given
What is he? He has paid too much for the Ding family. I let my brother go, his enemy, and I feel sorry for him. But..., my name is Ding Yuluo, and I did nothing wrong!"
"You..." Ding Chengzong's pale cheeks turned red with anger, but Ding Yuluo said clearly and firmly: "Even though I know that doing this will make him disappointed and sad, I have no choice. The reason for doing this is not for others.
Yes, just because I am a member of the Ding family. No matter how bastard Chengye is about what he did, even if the evidence is conclusive and he is sent to the government for prosecution, the crime will not lead to death. I know... I know that he has done something that is sorry for my elder brother.
Things, but the punishment is only three years of exile. Even if you don’t follow the king’s laws and only focus on human kindness, brother, can you have the heart to kill him? Brothers can kill each other, and it’s hard for parents to rest in peace..."
"Confused!" Ding Chengzong was so angry that he slapped Ding Yuluo on the face with a loud slap, and five fingerprints immediately appeared on the thin and pale cheek.
"Get out, all of you, get out." Ding Chengzong grabbed the armrest with both hands and shouted at Xiaoqing, Xiaoyuan and the four long-term workers. Several people hurriedly retreated, leaving only Ding Chengzong, Ding Yuluo and his sister in the hall.
.
Ding Chengzong's eyes were filled with tears and he said in a painful voice: "Yu Luo, you are really wrong this time!"
Lu Xiangwu hurriedly walked out of the Ding family courtyard with her head lowered. She didn't dare to raise her head or look at the strange looks of the servants. Her face was burning until she left the gate of the Ding family and hurriedly escaped from the village.
When no one was around, she burst into tears.
The cold wind was biting and the fields were covered with white snow. She didn't know where she was going now. She had made a mistake and could never go back. With the so-called help of the Ding family's aunt and several maids, but actually under surveillance, she
I was too ashamed to bring even a box of jewelry, so I took a piece of divorce paper and left the house.
Ding Chengzong's divorce letter did not mention anything about her unruly behavior as a woman. He only said that he had become disabled and disheartened. From then on, he quietly practiced Buddhism and stayed away from the secular world. He could not bear to delay his wife's youth and preserved a trace of face for her.
, but... people from all over the country have vaguely heard about her affair with Ding Chengye, and now that she is abandoned by Ding Chengzong, how can she hide it from others?
She didn't know where to go or how to go in the future, so she walked forward in a daze, subconsciously heading in the direction of Bazhou Mansion. But the further she went, the heavier her steps became.
Her natal family, because Ding Chengye had turned against her and had already disowned her as their daughter, how could she step into her own family now that she had a divorce letter in her pocket?
Lu Xiangwu cried all the way, staggering all the way, her tears dried up. After passing Lijiazhuang, she saw the surging river in the snowy wilderness. Lu Xiangwu looked at the river water infatuatedly, and the cold wind blew her messy
Her hair and face were turning blue from the cold. But she stood motionless on the rocks by the river.
There is no way to go to heaven, and there is no way to enter the earth. She doesn't know whether she should hate Ding Chengye or herself. It doesn't matter now. The wind is chilling to the bone, and there is no warmth in her heart. The thing in front of her is
The river may be her best destination.
Dong'er, the little widow who was scolded by the villagers and was asked by the Dong Li family to soak the pig cage, died in this river. If I saw her here, I wonder if she would make fun of me.
Dong'er...at least she can do it in public
Confessing her love to others, the person she loves is also worthy of her love. After she died, there was a man who was willing to fight for her with all the strong men in the village of Lijiazhuang, and there was a man who was willing to kill two people for her.
Wandering around the world, but what about yourself?
Lu Xiangwu suddenly felt envious of Luo Dong'er: Even after she died, there were still people who cared about her. After becoming such a big official, he still wanted to come back to redress her grievances. A woman should do this in her life.
I am content. But what about me? Probably like the bubbles in the water, they disappear in a flash, and I will die. No one will remember me...
Lu Xiangwu smiled miserably, covered his face with his sleeves, and jumped into the river...
"Master, someone jumped into the river..."
"Really?" Zheng Chenghe, the most jealous husband of Guangyuan, poked his head out of the sedan, looked at the river, grinned like a thunder tiger, and sighed: "What are you trying to do?
, How cold it is." After saying that, he retracted his head.
"Yeah." Handlebar Style also sighed: "Although I haven't seen her appearance clearly, look at her figure. She's convex and concave. She's quite eye-catching."
With a "swish", Zheng Chenghe stuck his head out again, stared with a pair of blistered eyes and said: "How do you say? It's a woman? Oh, you blind bastard, stop the car, stop the car, hurry up and save people!"
Zheng Chenghe jumped on the carriage shaft, holding a hand warmer and gesticulating to his entourage: "Quick, quick, give them all to me. I will go down and fish them out. Whoever fishes them out, I will reward you with five guan. If you don't, I will reward you."
!Shi Guan..., you are still stunned, hurry up and get into the water, your grandma's..."
A small flower hall was temporarily converted into a place to place the memorial tablets of the Ding family's ancestors. The ever-burning lamps and candles were dimly lit, exuding a faint milky fragrance. Ding Chengzong, dressed in gray, sat quietly on the futon in front of the incense table.
, staring at the straight light, not knowing what he was thinking.
Ding Yuluo quietly opened the door and walked in, walking like a cat, making no sound at all, but causing the candlelight to sway slightly. If Ding Chengzong felt something, he gently turned his head and saw Ding Yuluo.
He wears a short robe and long trousers, a cloth belt around his waist, a pair of soap boots that grip the ground, a short sword at his waist, and a package slung over his shoulder.
Her cheeks have been dyed yellow with ginger juice, and her beard has been glued on. She is dressed like a handsome, thin young man. She wears a leather hat with ears, and is dressed in a half-beard and half-man style, which is what northerners are used to wearing when traveling far away.
dress up.
"Brother, I'm ready."
Ding Chengzong turned back silently: "Brother knows that I have suffered a lot for you these days. I thought I could handle these things well. I didn't want you to know about those dirty things again, but who knew that I actually gave him the opportunity to deceive you with sweet words?"
You. But this is not the reason for you to forgive yourself. You have to make up for what you have done wrong."
Ding Yuluo said quietly: "I know that this time, I will not let my eldest brother down."
Ding Chengzong said: "Brother did not speculate on him because of his own grudges. What Yan Jiu said before his death, coupled with my calm analysis these days, I absolutely believe that what he said when he was carried away and carried away was not a lie. I was attracted by them
They poisoned me, and my father was also killed by them. Ding Chengye... is not a descendant of our Ding family! Even if he is, he will not be punished for his crime if he commits patricide, do you understand?"
"I see!"
"Okay, kneel down in front of the ancestor's spiritual throne!"
Ding Yuluo walked to a futon and knelt down on his knees. Ding Chengzong said word for word: "Now, you swear to your father and your ancestors that you must avenge this!"
Ding Yuluo kowtowed his head heavily, and Ding Chengzong's voice echoed in the empty room, a bit eerie: "If you can bring him back alive, bring him to the spiritual place of his ancestors. If not,
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 burst into tears and he suddenly turned his head away. He was not such a cold person, and in fact he did not want Ding Yuluo, a girl, to bear such a responsibility.
But since both of his legs are disabled, this mission can only be completed by the girl. He can only force himself to be as stone-hearted.
"Brother..." Ding Yuluo walked to the door, tightened his belt, turned around and looked back, and asked: "The Ding family's house and fields have been sold by him. After I leave, what are you... going to do?"
?”
"What can I do if there is nothing?" Ding Chengzong sat cross-legged in front of the evergreen lantern and said without looking back: "What has been broken cannot be restored to its original appearance no matter how hard it is glued back together. You can buy the land again after you sell it, and you can buy it again after you sell the house.
"Gai, but people's hearts are lost, and it's hard to get back together again. After you leave, I will take my family to Luling Prefecture. If you complete your mission, go there to meet me."
Ding Yuluo looked a little excited and said calmly: "I...we have broken his heart again and again, he...will he forgive us?"
Ding Chengzong closed his eyes and said quietly: "It's his business not to forgive me. Now I just want peace of mind. You go, I will go to Luling Prefecture tomorrow..."
After rolling down the hillside, Ding Chengye got up panting and ran away. His clothes were all in tatters while he was running away. He used to have a handsome face, red lips and white teeth. Looking at his appearance alone, he was definitely a fine young man, but now he
His unkempt hair and unkempt appearance make him look like a beggar.
That Yang Hao was so ruthless, he actually used the power of Bazhou Prefecture to scatter the documents from the sea, leaving him with no way to go to heaven and no way to enter the earth. In desperation, he couldn't help but think of that old slave Yan Jiu.
what was said.
After thinking about it again and again, he really couldn't think of the purpose of Yan Jiu telling such a lie at that time. Was that old slave really loyal to me? He had a brother who was a general in the North Kingdom, and he was willing to stay in Ding.
Will the government take care of me?
Ding Chengye used himself to save others, and it was hard to believe that there could be such a foolish and loyal person in the world. However, he could not find any reason for him to harm him. With no other choice, he had no choice but to flee to the northern border with the hope of just in case. If Yan Yan
What Yan Jiu told is a lie. There are also many Han people in the north. When he gets here, he doesn't have to worry about the crimes he committed in the Southern Dynasties. If Yan Jiu is telling the truth, who will know that he killed the old slave? Find the man named
Lu Yisheng, the general of the Northern Kingdom, would not treat me lightly for the sake of his eldest brother.
With this in mind, Ding Chengye walked to the north through the remote mountains and ridges, and at night he went to the villages to steal some food. After a hungry meal, he finally reached the border. He originally thought that there would be no sea for him in such a place.
The document was arrested. Unexpectedly, when he went to the village to beg, he was recognized by someone. Minzhuang in a place like this was even more powerful. As soon as the gongs and drums sounded, Li Zheng and Minzhuang came happily to arrest the person. He was so frightened that he fell into despair.
After escaping, he finally climbed over this snowy mountain. Fortunately, this was already the boundary of the Khitan people, and he finally no longer had to worry about anyone chasing him.
The snow here is extremely thick. Except for the tracks of some birds and animals, no other traces can be seen on the snow. Ding Chengye walked one foot deep and one foot shallow. He was exhausted. When he looked back, he saw that he was only two steps away from the mountain.
Ding Chengye couldn't help but secretly complain: "At this speed, I'm afraid he will starve to death or be bitten to death by wild beasts before he can reach a place with people.
After walking through a forest, he couldn't walk anymore. He grabbed two handfuls of snow and swallowed it. Just as he wiped his mouth, he heard a loud voice: "Han man, don't move around. What do you do?"
Ding Chengye turned around and saw several big men in fur hats and fur jackets dressed in Hufu standing not far away, glaring at him with their bows and arrows drawn. Ding Chengye cried out as if he were a relative: "Don't kill me, don't kill me.
I...I am a...er...distant relative of your South Campus General Lu Yisheng, and I came here to join you!"
"Lu Yisheng?" Several Khitan patrolling men looked suspicious. General of the South Campus? This official sounds like he has a high official position, but why have you never heard of such a person?
The military attributes of the Khitan in the North are very complex. In addition to the palace army directly under the royal family, the tribal army of the chiefs composed of princes and ministers, there are also tribal armies composed of tribes of the Khitan, Xi and other nomadic peoples, with rural soldiers.
The Wujing Xiangding and the vassal armies of the affiliated tribes outside the Liao Dynasty each have their own subordinates and numerous factions. It is possible that the generals of each army and other departments are not familiar with them, but no one even listened to what this man said about a general.
Having said that, it is a bit strange.
Little did they know that General Lu Yisheng was just a cheap official position conferred by the Emperor of the Northern Kingdom. He himself gathered three thousand people, and in the middle area between the Song Dynasty and the Northern Kingdom, he still made a living by robbing families and homes. He was not an official general of the Northern Kingdom at all. I heard Ding Chengye say it carefully.
, the soldiers of the tribal army did not make it too difficult for him. They searched his body and found that he did not carry any weapons, so they took him to see his tribal leader...
"Sir, are we leaving 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 vaguely guessed what happened from Yan Jiu's words. This is just the folk version.
It's just a "civet cat for a prince". Mrs. Ding's natal family was robbed. In order to get rid of her children and grandchildren as slaves, Yan Jiu said that his son was Mrs. Ding's posthumous son. When he grew up, he plotted to kill him.
It is almost certain that the Ding family would let their son take over the family business.
Unfortunately, Yang Hao performed too well, swaying his eldest son, Ding Tingxun, who was disabled and his second son, Ding Tingxun, who was incompetent, so he became a victim of this conspiracy. If he was still the ignorant Ding Hao before, he must still be with the Yang family now
The Ding family is a slave and a maid, and whether the master is Ding Tingxun or Ding Chengye, it makes no difference to servants like them.
He couldn't think of a better way to deal with Lan'er. Lan'er was just a servant. If she didn't obey Ding Chengye or Yan Jiu, there would be others who would let Ding Chengye and Yan Jiu do what they wanted, either for money or fear of power.
She was at the mercy of someone else and used as circumstantial evidence to frame him. In this conspiracy, her role was really limited. The crime was not punishable by death, so why should she be beaten?
I heard that Ding Chengzong had summoned Ya Po to sell her. This Ya Po was Granny Liu. Granny Liu knew something about his grudges with the Ding family. She also knew that Lan'er was afraid of tigers and was the enemy of Young Master Ding.
I'll find her a good family, that's enough.
Ding Chengye escaped, but it was foreseeable that he would never be able to return to the Ding family. Ever since he heard Yan Jiu's words, he no longer had himself, and Ding Chengzong could not spare him. He could no longer act as a domineering person.
Second Young Master. The world is so big that we may not meet one day. What's more, he also secretly met with Zhao Tongpan, found some excuses, and asked people to pretend to be the victims, relying on Ding Chengye. Now that the sea arrest documents have been leaked, all he can do is wait.
If he catches him, he will send someone to inform him that Ding Chengye is a dandy and has no ability to survive on his own. He might not be able to escape from Bazhou's jurisdiction and be captured.
However, he can't wait that long. He has to go now. He can't live just for the people who have passed away, let alone Ding Chengye. He can't let anyone wait, and he can't let the emperor wait too long. Now, he has to go
Kaifeng, see the emperor.
The wheels were moving and there was a slight bump. Yang Hao sighed leisurely. This time he came back and still didn't get any news about Xiang Zhuer. Not many people knew Xiang Zhuer, but Granny Liu used so many well-informed people.
The foxes and rats in the city have no use for the servants of a wealthy family in the countryside. My mother, Yang, is already dead, and so is Dong'er. What about Brother Daliang, who has been dependent on each other since childhood?
Thinking of the skeleton dug out of the river embankment when he was digging canals for Bazhou Prefecture, Yang Hao couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart: "God, this thief has bullied me so hard, but don't let Zhu'er remain silent like this again."
My body is buried at the bottom of the river without any interest. The sky is vast and the earth is vast. I just ask you to be merciful and let my brother meet again one day..."
The wheels were rolling and his thoughts were wandering. Yang Hao was thinking about the smelly pig whose whereabouts were unknown, but he did not expect that a "reversal" drama was being staged in Luling Prefecture at this time...
