Xia do not stay

Chapter 75 love but not

Han Xueli recognized Gu Yang, she was a smart woman, she didn't ask much, just said a word.

"I can take you to Mr. Cui, as long as you do me one thing."

"tell me the story."

"Take me away!"

With firm eyes, Han Xueli continued: "I know you don't like me, and I don't want to follow you, as long as you take me out of the prefect's mansion."

Gu Yang was a little surprised and said: "There are rich clothes and fine food here, why did you leave? Leaving the prefect's mansion, you are a weak woman, how can you make a living?"

Han Xueli just said lightly: "That's my business, you don't have to worry about it."

Gu Yang thought for a while and said, "Okay, I agree."

Han Xueli looked at him and said, "One word from a gentleman is hard to follow."

"Don't worry, I, Gu Yang, will definitely do what I promised."

Han Xueli immediately took Gu Yang to Cui Sanye's residence. She had stayed in the mansion for a long time and was very familiar with the terrain, so she took Gu Yang to avoid many secret whistles.

This also made Gu Yang secretly surprised. It seems that this woman has been observing a lot, and she might have planned to run away long ago.

"Ahead is Steward Cui's residence."

She pointed to a house not far away, and said: "Steward Cui usually lives here, but occasionally he will go out to live. He is loyal to the prefect. I have seduced him, but he remains unmoved."

Han Xueli's voice was extremely calm, without any shyness or embarrassment.

Gu Yang nodded and said, "Thank you."

Han Xueli was taken aback for a moment, because she thought that a hero like Gu Yang would criticize or look down on her after hearing what she just said, but she didn't expect the other party to thank her.

Looking at Gu Yang's back, she blurted out: "Although Steward Cui is loyal to the prefect, he has a son named Cui Yuan, who is 19 years old and has just passed the exam. You can use this as a threat to make him speak up."

After a pause, she clasped the corner of her clothes with her fingers.

"Of course, if you think what I said is too despicable, just pretend I didn't say it."

Gu Yang waved his hand and said: "Thank you, you hide, I will take you away later."

……

Cui Sanye is only in his 50s, but his hair is already gray. He knows too many secrets in the prefect's mansion and has spent too much effort.

At this time, he was staring at an article under the candlelight.

Suddenly, the candle flame flickered, erratically.

A long sword with a sheath was pressed against his neck, and the cold touch made him stiff.

"If you want to survive, answer me, where are the children who were sent to the prefect's mansion yesterday?"

Cui Sanye's complexion was pale, but there was a trace of calm in his eyes. He seemed to have known that such a day would come to him.

"You kill me, I don't know anything."

With the long sword removed, Gu Yang walked up to him and smiled slightly.

"Butler Cui, you have a tough mouth."

Cui Sanye was taken aback for a moment, he thought it was the black shadow who often sneaked into the mansion, but he didn't expect it to be Gu Yang.

"Gu Daxia, my master presents you with an expensive gift, and those few gifts were prepared by me."

"Ha ha."

Gu Yang sneered and said: "The gold bricks are very rich, and the house is also very grand. You really have a heart, but it's a pity that I am not soft with people and things. If you don't talk about it, my Red Dragon Sword will not be polite."

"Don't forget, you are the imperial court's catcher!"

"Kill you, who knew I did it?"

Gu Yang stopped talking nonsense, cut off his left ear with a sword, and let the blood flow.

Cui Sanye covered his ears and wanted to scream, but Gu Yang covered his mouth and could only make a whining sound.

"Ah, it was cut off, but it was a pity that it was aimed at the head."

Gu Yang let go of his hand, Cui Sanye broke out in cold sweat, but still insisted: "I won't say anything."

Gu Yang knew that for this kind of person, death was not the most terrible thing.

But everyone has weaknesses.

Gu Yang walked to the table and picked up the article that Mr. Cui had read for a long time.

"I've been watching you for a long time. This article is only a few hundred words, but you read it for almost half an hour and read it repeatedly. Why?"

Cui Sanye's fingers trembled.

"It's not a peerless essay, it's an ordinary essay, it looks like an essay for a human examination."

Gu Yang stared at him suddenly and said, "Your son Cui Yuan, he passed the exam."

Unable to keep calm anymore, Cui Sanye said angrily: "You are a fast catcher! You can't do this!"

Gu Yang sneered: "I even dare to arrest the crown prince, what else can I dare not do?"

These words seemed to drain all of Cui Sanye's strength, he said decadently: "Let my son go, I will tell you everything."

"That's right, answer my question honestly."

Gu Yang suddenly felt that he seemed more like a villain.

Cui Sanye sighed, and said: "If Gu Daxia wanted to save people, it would be too late. The batch of children sent yesterday were all dead, and their bodies were buried in a barren hill twenty miles outside the city. There is a big locust tree."

Gu Yang's eyes were fixed, and he said coldly: "Why do you want to kill these children?"

"It's because... Lord Prefect."

"Hero Gu doesn't know something. In fact, five years ago, the prefect was almost exhausted and fell seriously ill. The doctor said he wouldn't live for three months."

Gu Yang was taken aback, but he remembered that when he first met the prefect Yang Qingyuan, he was full of energy, with black hair, and looked very healthy.

At that time, he was still surprised, the other party didn't know martial arts, how could he be so healthy even in his seventies?
"Then?"

"Afterwards, the prefect met a man wearing the mask of Mrs. Meng, who claimed to be a wandering Taoist, and gave the prefect an ancient prescription. That prescription can prolong life and rejuvenate people. It is only the main medicine of that prescription... ..."

Third Master Cui took a deep breath and said, "It's the heart of a child under the age of six."

Gu Yang was silent for a moment, his fingers subconsciously clenched the hilt of his sword.

"You are also the father of a child. I think you love your son very much. Why do you also help the evildoers?"

When Cui Sanye heard the words, he burst into tears, and his emotions seemed to be a little out of control.

"I don't want to either... I know that I have sinned deeply. I read his articles repeatedly every day... The more I read, the more afraid I am to meet him..."

He picked up the article and pointed at a sentence excitedly.

"Establishing discipline guidelines, ordering laws and regulations, and setting up the signs of Wei, how well you said! There is also this sentence, the greatness of the Tao is nothing more than the moment of benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, hardness, softness, good and evil. The sky is clear, the earth is quiet, Human beings are extremely clear, so how can you do this!"

Cui Sanye's palm trembled, as if the article was of great importance.

"Gu Daxia, my son is clean, he doesn't know anything, please let him go!"

He knelt down and kowtowed to Gu Yang again and again, every time he kowtowed, the blood soon stained the green bricks red.

Looking at this scene, Gu Yang recalled how he was struggling to read the article with his eyes squinted under the candlelight just now, and his heart was very complicated.

He loves his son deeply, but he is worried that he has sinned deeply, so he dare not touch him lightly, so he can only read his son's articles repeatedly late at night.

The more he reads, the more proud he becomes, and the more he reads, the more inferior he becomes.

Gu Yang sighed lightly.

"I won't touch your son."

After finishing speaking, Gu Yang slapped his head with his palm, and the mighty internal force shattered his brain.

"thanks……"

Before he died, there was a hint of relief in his eyes.

Gu Yang pushed open the door, filled with emotion. A father who loves his children so much has killed countless children and ruined countless families. The complexity of human nature is embarrassing.
