In the prison, Xu Jingfu sat quietly.
When he first came in, the jailers respected him and did not dare to neglect it. Although he was shocked by Xiao Huaijin’s methods, he was not in a hurry. Chu Zhao was outside, besides Wenxuan Emperor’s temperament was excellent, and it wouldn’t take long for him to leave the whole body, at least he could slowly pull back a round.
But recently, the jailers’ attitude towards him has gradually changed.
What kind of person is Xu Jingfu? After so many years in the middle of the court, sometimes one person’s eyes can see that the situation has changed. No one came to visit these days, and he had no way of knowing what was happening outside. Xu Jingfu would just leave it alone. I don’t know what Xu Pingting and Mrs. Xu are doing now. Since Xu Pingting was born, he has been spoiled and raised. He has never experienced any ups and downs, and now he does not know how Emperor Wenxuan handled them.
Xu Jingfu didn’t show up on his face, but he was already anxious.
Crown Prince Guangyan was not very useful, and because of the utopian’s affair with him, he was afraid to speak up now. Thinking of this, Xu Jingfu was secretly disdainful. If there were no one in North Korea and China, he would not support the idiot of extension. But for so long, Chu Zhao’s side, haven’t thought of a way? Or is it that Chu Zhao is in trouble now?
Xu Jingfu was upset. The longer you stay in prison, the less good it is. He didn’t know what Xiao Jue had done, and Emperor Wen Xuan… Even though he was kind again, he was also an emperor. When he was away, other courtiers would teach the emperor what to do.
There will always be people who want to drag him into the water, he must think of other ways, but the most urgent thing is to see his people first.
Xu Jingfu was thinking, with a flower in front of him, he seemed to see someone flashing through the dark of the cell. Look at it again, nothing.
It was snowing outside, and the jailers were squatting at the door of the jail to drink. The alcohol temporarily dispelled the cold, and the voice of jokes gradually fell. The torches burning on the wall glowed faintly. In the firelight, it seemed to be mixed with tiny “crackling” sounds, like the sound of burning sundries. Gradually, the sound became blurred, and after a long time, I don’t know when it was a scream that cut through the night sky .
“Go water! Go water! Go water in the prison!”
“Quickly, save the fire!”
The smoke choked people’s throats, and the blaze ignited in an instant. Some people talked about the sound of going to the basin to save the fire, and some people sounded, accompanied by the sound of the sword fighting: “Come on! ! Someone is in prison!”
“Xu Xiang was robbed!”
…
The carriage didn’t know when it stopped. Xu Jingfu was pushed into a courtyard. It looked like a farm in the wilderness. There were no other houses around. When he entered, Xu Jingfu coughed.
He was too old to withstand such a toss, his beard was half taken away by the fire, and his clothes were all blackened by the fire, and he looked extremely embarrassed. There was no one else in the room. The tea and food were on the table. It looked delicate, and he didn’t move.
At any time, it is always good to be cautious.
When I came, I asked the people around me who actually robbed him from prison, but no one answered his question. Xu Jingfu was also uneasy in his heart, and he sat for a moment, and there was a sound at the door, and someone came in.
Xu Jingfu looked up, and the person was wearing a pale green gown, and Wen Runrulan met him and whispered, “Teacher.”
“Zi Lan?” Xu Jingfu was first happy, and then frowned, “What’s going on?”
Chu Zilan closed the door.
“The teacher did not know, Xiao Huaijin found the witnesses in the Mingshui case.”
Xu Jingfu jumped in his heart, but there was no surprise. His people have been looking for the whereabouts of the brother named Luo, and there are clearly clues that suddenly evaporate from the world. At that time, Xu Jingfu began to suspect that it was Xiao Jue’s hands and feet. It’s just that Xiao Jue is secretive in doing things. He hasn’t been able to grasp the handle. Now that he is in jail because of He Rufei, Xiao Huaijin will inevitably refuse to let this opportunity pass. Xiao Jue never forgot about the Mingshui case. Sooner or later, he will be turned over and reexamined.
“Just witnessing is not enough to convict.”
Chu Zilan sighed: “There are not many courtiers who have fallen into the well.”
Xu Jingfu only sneered.
After so many years in this position, he certainly knows that sometimes winning or losing is instant. In the past, when he suppressed the old ministry that Xiao Zhongwu left behind, he also took advantage of the opportunity of the Mingshui case. Feng Shui took turns. Now that he is in trouble, his opponent will certainly not be soft-hearted.
“You mean, think the Xu family can’t turn over?” Xu Jingfu looked at Chu Zhao with a little displeasure in his tone. “The way you came up with when I was in jail, is this? Taking advantage of the fire?” Speaking of this, Xu Jingfu was a little annoyed, “Do you know that with this move, the emperor’s heart will only be more biased towards Xiao Huaijin, you are not helping at all.”
“Teacher,” Chu Zilan stood beside him and shook his head: “There is no other way for students.”
Xu Jingfu took a deep breath, “You have always been smart, why did you choose a stupid way this time. What did you do to rob me from prison, in order to save my life? The life is saved, but the Xu family cannot save it. , And Pingting and his wife…you…”
The more he wanted the more he was anxious, but now he can’t go back by himself, but just staying like that, the outsiders will only say that Xu Jingfu flees in fear of sin.
“Teacher,” Chu Zilan said with a warm voice: “Even if you don’t go to prison, the Xu family can’t be guaranteed. Xiao Huaijin won’t give the Xu family a chance to turn over, and the four princes have already shot.”
“But you have taken a bad move! Can you protect me for a while and protect me for a lifetime?” Xu Jingfu stared angrily at the young man in front of him, “You have always done things safely, I have never been at ease with you, how come this time “” His words came to an abrupt halt.
The person in front of him is his prospective son-in-law, his student, the person he grew up watching, has been with him, studying in the school, he is smart, gentle and gentle, he is a truly talented person, Xu Jingfu In my heart, I admire him very much. He has no sons, and he cultivated him as a successor.
There was a moment of silence in the room.
“Are you deliberate?” Xu Jingfu asked slowly, his eyes fierce like a snake.
Chu Zhao smiled slightly: “Teacher, I have reached this point. Only by doing this is the best.”
Xu Jingfu’s hand shivered.
“I know that the teacher is not reconciled, still thinking about making a comeback, but the teacher is in the prison, unaware of the situation outside, and it has changed the sky.” Chu Zhao’s voice is still gentle, and he continued without a fuss: “The student has seen the prince His Royal Highness, this is also what His Royal Highness meant.”
“Guangyan that stupid man,” Xu Jingfu sneered. “How could I come up with a car abandoner? I think it’s you,” he stared at Chu Zhao’s face. “You suggested it, okay Chu Zilan , You have been with me for so long, but I didn’t realize that I kept a viper beside me.”
“Isn’t that what you learned with the teacher,” Chu Zhao was not angry and said quietly: “The teacher taught well.”
Xu Jingfu has been going up and down for many years, and for the first time he has experienced the feeling of being spitting blood. At that time, when he crossed the sword with Xiao Zhongwu, he was not angry at the moment.
What Chu Zhao meant was that Xu Jingfu understood. I’m afraid he’s a fake prisoner. I want to cause him to secretly collude with people to escape from the crime. Then he will act as a student and kill the parents. There is a big trouble in my own heart-Xu Jingfu has many Chu Zhao’s evidences left behind to destroy him.
More importantly, as soon as Xu Jingfu died, the original Xu Party wanted to seek refuge. If Chu Zhao was able to escape from this case, all the contacts he left behind were originally Chu Zhao’s.
He has no son, that is, fancy Chu Zhao’s temperament and talents. He wants to cultivate him as his own, but he didn’t expect Chu Zhao to hide it very deeply, just like…
Xu Jingfu suddenly felt sick.
“Chu Zilan,” Xu Jingfu called Chu Zhao’s name, “I asked myself, there was nothing wrong with me. If I hadn’t rescued you, you would have died in Shijinbo Mansion and you didn’t know which courtyard. For many years, I have guarded you, helped you into the official career, and arranged everything for you. You are so kind and revengeful, you… you are forgetting what is right and complaining about virtue!”
“Forgetting the roots? Repaying morals with grievance?” Chu Zhao smiled. He looked at Xu Jingfu and said in a warm voice, “The teacher is really good to the students, but in this kind of goodness, there is a little sincerity and a little use, and the teacher’s heart is also clear. It doesn’t have to be too sincere, otherwise I’ve said it for a long time, I’m afraid I even believed it myself.”
At the Xu Mansion, Xu Jingfu gave him a pair of boots to rescue Chu Zhao from Mrs. Chu’s men. After that, at least on the bright side, the three brothers-in-law and Mrs. Chu did not dare to be too presumptuous, and he was able to save his life. For a while, Chu Zhao really appreciated Xu Jingfu.
Until he gradually grew up, Xu Jingfu was appointed as an official. This seems to be a good thing. The teacher arranged for the future of the students, and few people in the world have done it.
But from the first day when he was an official, he truly became a chess piece of Xu Jingfu.
Xu Jingfu’s disciples are all over the Wei Dynasty. Every official disciple is his pawn. Chu Zhao and other pawns are no different. He murdered Xu Jingfu, committed injustices, attracted people’s hearts…everything was done. Xu Jingfu is behind him, he is in front of people, and the target in front of him always encounters many dark arrows.
He inadvertently heard Xu Jingfu talking to his servants.
“Four sons of Chu are going to the banquet here, there may be danger. Adults or else…”
“Young people, they want to grow up in danger,” his teacher said with a smile: “If you don’t even want to give up your life, what is the point of raising me for so long?”
Chu Zhao later understood that he was a dog raised by Xu Jingfu. Whoever Xu Jingfu wants him to bite, he will bite. People bitten hate dogs, not dog owners.
Don’t Xu Jingfu know that it will be dangerous to go to Jiyang? Of course, when he was in Rundu, Xu Jingfu was still guarding against him. When Xu Pingting likes him, Xu Jingfu can arrange his family affairs by himself. Chu Zhao knew that if Xu Pingting did not like him one day or even hated him, Xu Jingfu would abandon him without hesitation.
“You act as a teacher, I act as a student, for a long time, the teacher also forgot, why did you choose me as a student.”
Xu Jingfu stared at him deadly and said angrily: “…because I looked at you pitifully!”
“Is that true?” the young man smiled. “Don’t the teacher see me as having nothing and easy to control before putting me under the door?”
A poor man who is bullied by his mother-in-law and brother at home, and will die when he does not know when, a person who has nothing and nothing to rely on, once he has received some favors, he will be repaid a hundred times, once he has the opportunity, he will desperately go Climb up.
It’s really suitable for making a chess piece.
It is also too suitable for being used, because there is no other choice at all.
The kind and gentle teacher was nothing but an illusion of his disguise. His calculations and plots were hidden in those soft boots. He only waited for the time to pass slowly, and the nails came out of the boots slowly, unconsciously, The blood stabbed people.
But at that time, did he not count?
He knew he was going to Xu Xiangfu for a banquet. He knew that the clothes Mrs. Chu made for him were as thin as paper, but he still wore that clothes.
When Chu Linfeng took him to socialize, he really couldn’t find a little space to replace the boots, at least pull out the nails inside?
Xu Fu is so big, why did he meet Xu Jingfu?
He was a child who grew up in a blue building. He has seen women use all their tricks in order to win the favor of men. Pity is the instinct of all strong people. Using the sympathy and compassion of people, it is that he learned in those years. The ability from Bao.
Every opportunity is hard to come by, and every opportunity must be seized firmly.
He caught it, and finally changed his destiny. Although the return of this destiny was not very bright, at least it made him suffer for so many years.
Xu Jingfu used him, and he also used Xu Jingfu. After all, he and Xu Jingfu were the same kind of people at the beginning.
It’s just a pity that the boots, he regretted that he really warmed him for many years.
The light in the room was swaying slowly, the wind outside was extremely strong, and the windows blocked the wind, as if the ghosts were howling. The warm candlelight seems to only make the room colder.
Xu Jingfu looked at him, looked at, and suddenly whispered, he said: “Chu Zilan… so wow… you are so powerful…”
“Teacher,” Chu Zilan looked at him, and his eyes were still gentle. “Like you, you sympathize with me and I want to use me. I am grateful that you are true, and I want to kill you.” He took a step back, and the outline was completely clear in the lights, clearly a soft, clean face that did not eat human fireworks, but it seemed to have tasted all the sins of the world, with a kind of indifferent compassion, ” The means the students seek are all learned from the teacher. But it’s just that… blue is better than blue.”
“A better youth is better than blue.” Xu Jingfu laughed, but in this smile, especially miserable, he asked: “The people outside are you… when are you going to kill me?”
Chu Zhao did not speak.
“This decisive and unsympathetic is worthy of my Xu Jingfu’s student!” He suddenly said, “What about Tingting? How are you going to treat her?”
This veteran who had been fierce in the official life for a lifetime, finally at this moment, revealed a fragility belonging to the old man. He looked at Chu Zhao, his eyes even prayed, “She really likes you… If you still have a half of conscience, Don’t hurt her!”
“I won’t hurt her.” After a long time, Chu Zhao said, “As long as she obediently obeyed.”
There was a lot of lights in the room, and there was a voice from outside, “Four sons! The soldiers are coming!”
Chu Zhao looked to Xu Jingfu.
Xu Jingfu glanced back at him quietly, and his eyes were somewhat unwilling, angry, resentful, and finally sank into a powerlessness.
He was already old. When he was fighting against Xiao Zhongwu in Mingshui, he should have expected such a day.
Facing Xu Jingfu, Chu Zhao slowly knelt down and leaned over to pay a big gift to Xu Jingfu.
“The student union will inherit the teacher’s legacy, and the teacher will go well.”
He stood up and walked out without looking back. Several guard-looking people rushed in. The sound of tables and stools falling in the room was accompanied by the screaming of people.
Chu Zhao stood quietly, the wind blowing up the corner of his robe, and his figure was thinner, as if he would return by the wind at the next moment. In an instant, I thought of many years ago, when he was 11 or 12 years old, he went to Xu Jingfu’s house to celebrate his birthday. Xu Jingfu’s students are older than him. Many of them have become officials, and the gifts are all golden jade jewelry. He was alone, hesitated for a long time, and finally took out a picture from behind.
The painting was a pine tree he drew, and it took him several days and nights, and the painting was very serious. He didn’t have much money, and he didn’t want to ask Chu Linfeng to discuss it for a long time. This was the only thing he could do.
Crane bones and tendons, pine and cypress, at that moment, he really thought so.
It’s just that it was a long time ago.
Not long after, the two guards came out of it. The knife in one’s waist was already stained brightly with blood, and he was dropping one drop into the snow under his feet like a blossoming plum.
Chu Zhao took the knife from his hand. The knife was heavy, and the man was carrying it, and he still felt strenuous. I didn’t know how the thin and small girl seemed to wave easily.
He looked at the knife, grasped the handle with his backhand, and suddenly thrust into his chest.
“Poof—”
The sharp edge of the knife did not penetrate into the flesh, and there was a clear pain, and it seemed that the muddyness of Fang Cai was awake. The bodyguard beside him was shocked: “Four sons!”
He waved his hands hard, pulled the knife out again, and threw it to the ground, covering his wound with one hand. The blood instantly filled his palm and stained his robe.
At the next moment, the sound of soldiers and horses outside came suddenly. He walked two steps forward, and finally became weak, and fell to his knees at once.
“Four sons! Four sons!”
The last thing I saw was bright torches and a large number of soldiers and horses.
