"That beast, where is that beast now?" Before the doctor came over, Master Chu had already woken up and said in a trembling voice.
The servant replied tremblingly: "The people at the government office said that they did not reveal the young master's identity, and they should send him home soon."
As soon as he finished speaking, a servant announced that Mr. Zeng and Mr. Cui were visiting together.
In the distance, several figures walked over. The first ones were two middle-aged men. Behind them, it was Chu Ping who limped towards this side.
"Master Taifu..."
"Kneel down!"
As soon as Cui Qingming opened his mouth, he was startled by the furious Master Tutor and swallowed what he wanted to say.
Plop.
Chu Ping was expressionless and knelt directly on the bluestone.
"Beast, why did our Chu family have such a beast like you!" Taifu Chu's expression was a little ferocious. He picked up his cane and hit Chu Ping's shoulder hard. He said angrily: "I will beat you to death today, and you won't be spared."
The ancestors of my Chu family have been put to shame!"
Chu Ping's body swayed, but he did not dodge. There was a sneer on his face, and he said: "Then just beat me to death. Anyway, I am a useless person. It will damage the reputation of the Chu family. It would be better if I died. I will die a hundred times."
…”
Taifu Chu was stunned in place, looking at the grandson he had brought up since childhood, but found that after only a few months, he actually didn't recognize him.
He raised his crutch, but did not drop it for a long time, and murmured: "My Chu family will be clear for a hundred years, and it will be clear for a hundred years..."
"It takes a hundred years to clear the name..." A sad smile appeared on Chu Ping's face, and he said: "Yes, it takes a hundred years to clear the name. As long as you kill me, the Chu family will still be the Chu family. The Chu family is praised by everyone for righteousness and righteousness.
, a century-old reputation will not be lost..."
He stretched out his head and said with a smile: "Come on, Grandpa, I'm ready."
Taifu Chu looked at him, his body trembling, but he couldn't drop the crutch in his hand.
"Ping'er..."
He put down his crutches, leaned down, and touched his face with his skinny hands. His old eyes were full of tears, and he said in a trembling voice: "Ping'er, how did you become like this..."
Chu Ping did not answer. After a trace of pain appeared on his face, he closed his eyes. When he opened them again, his eyes lost emotion again.
He stood up from the ground, never looked at Taifu Chu again, and limped toward the inside.
The middle-aged man behind Taifu Chu stepped forward, looked at Zeng Shichun, and asked anxiously: "Master Zeng, what on earth is going on here?"
Zeng Shichun shook his head and said: "The government received news today that the many cases of missing women in recent days were caused by the Peng family in Ping'an County. They kidnapped these women and forced them into prostitution in order to satisfy certain customers.
Some perverted hobbies, when the detectives broke down the door and entered, they happened to see Chu Ping inside."
The middle-aged man felt a little unbelievable and murmured: "This is impossible, this is impossible. Didn't Ping'er go to visit Sun Daru? Didn't he go to consult Sun Daru about the scriptures? How could it be possible? How could he...
"
"Brother Chu, young people will inevitably make mistakes..." Cui Qingming waved his hand and said: "His Royal Highness the King of Shu was temporarily expelled from Kyoto because of a small mistake by young people. Nephew Chu Pingxian is still young.
Xiao, although I have traveled through thousands of mountains and rivers with Master Taifu, I still have too few real experiences, and I am easily tempted by external things. If I discipline myself strictly in the future, I will definitely be able to correct my mistakes and become a good person again."
The middle-aged man sighed and said, "I have to ask more of Brother Cui for this matter."
Cui Qingming smiled and said: "Brother Chu, don't worry, no one knows that Chu Ping was also involved in this matter. As for other obstacles, Mr. Zeng will help clear them up, just like last time..."
"Thank you, Brother Cui." The middle-aged man said, then turned his head, looked at Taifu Chu and said, "Father, I'm going to see Ping'er."
After seeing the middle-aged man leave, Cui Qingming stepped forward and said, "Master Taifu, Chu Ping is still young and will inevitably make mistakes. Don't be angry..."
boom!
Cui Qingming covered his head, with blood flowing down his forehead. He looked at Taifu Chu blankly, and said in disbelief: "Master Taifu, you..."
"Cui Qingming!" Mr. Chu's eyes were full of bloodshot eyes. He pointed at him with his crutch and said, "I can't see clearly with my eyes. Do you think my heart is also blind?"
Cui Qingming covered his head and looked at Taifu Chu. After a long time, the shock on his face disappeared, and he said calmly: "What is Taifu talking about? Why can't this junior understand it?"
Taifu Chu threw his crutches on the ground, looked at him with a cold look, and said coldly: "Get out!"
…
"It seems like it's self-defeating."
When the two walked out of Chu's house, Zeng Shichun looked at Cui Qingming and whispered.
"How can this be self-defeating?" The wound on Cui Qingming's head was no longer bleeding, but there was still a lot of blood on his face. When he smiled, he looked quite ferocious.
Zeng Shichun shook his head and asked: "Looking at the look just now, I am afraid that the Grand Tutor already knows that you are behind these things. Will he help the Cui family and His Highness the King of Shu again?"
"He is not helping the Cui family, nor is he helping His Highness the King of Shu." Cui Qingming wiped the blood on his head and said, "He is helping the Chu family."
Zeng Shichun looked at him and said: "Hand over Chu Ping, the Chu family will still be the Chu family."
Cui Qingming shook his head and said: "Before today, if Chu Ping is handed over, the Chu family will still be the Chu family. After today, the Chu family's century-old name will be in our hands. As for how to choose, Master Taifu is smart.
Man, he knows what to do."
…
"Father, what should we do?"
In the dark lobby, the person in charge of Chu Jiaming walked in, saw the figure in the deepest part of the darkness, and slowly spoke.
After a long time, a hoarse voice came from the darkness: "How is Ping'er?"
"Already asleep." the middle-aged man replied.
No sound came from the darkness.
"I was wrong, I was wrong from the beginning..." After a long time, a sighing voice came from the darkness, and the old man murmured: "I didn't expect that the Cui family would be so cruel. It was a living human life.
A living person..."
The middle-aged man looked at him blankly, with an expression of disbelief on his face, "What father means..."
"They have already destroyed Ping'er, and now they are going to destroy our Chu family..."
The old man slowly turned around, looked at the spiritual tablets of the ancestors of the Chu family in the darkness, and murmured: "They are going to destroy the reputation that our Chu family has accumulated for generations..."
The middle-aged man's body trembled and he said anxiously: "Father, you must not do this. This is absolutely impossible. The Chu family's century-old reputation must not be ruined in our hands!"
He gritted his teeth and said with difficulty: "If it really doesn't work, just hand Ping'er over!"
Taifu Chu shook his head and said: "After they sent Ping'er back twice, this is no longer Ping'er's problem."
The middle-aged man took a few steps back and murmured: "Could it be that my Chu family..."
Master Chu lit the candles in the room, straightened his clothes, and said, "Get ready. I'm going to meet some old friends in a few days..."
