Difficult to comfort the dust

Chapter 12 Present & Past

Early the next morning, Jiang Chaosheng hurried to the morning court.

He has been ill for several days this time, and since the fever subsides, he still has to go to the palace to have a face-off.

Cheng Jin woke up after Jiang Chaosheng left. For some reason, when she woke up, an ominous premonition filled her heart.

Above the court hall, there were mostly voices of civil servants arguing. Jiang Chaosheng stood at the end of the line, sweating faintly on his forehead.

Naturally, his body was not well yet, and after the fever subsided, he also developed symptoms of hemoptysis.But he didn't dare to reveal too much to others, even if Cheng Jin had already noticed it.

In a daze, the sage had ordered someone to announce his retreat, but he stopped Jiang Chaosheng without hesitation: "Jiang Aiqing stay here."

Jiang Chaosheng stopped when he heard the sound, and followed the eunuch leading the way into the imperial study.

"See Your Majesty."

The sage was already sitting in the study, and after Jiang Chaosheng entered, he smiled kindly: "Free from courtesy. Come here, give me a seat."

"Aiqing's health is much better?"

Jiang Chaosheng coughed twice, trying to cover it up with a chuckle: "Compared to Your Majesty, I know much more about what kind of illness my minister is in."

The emperor laughed and clapped his hands again and again: "It's refreshing to talk to a general, straight to the point, and you don't need to go around." Suddenly the topic changed, and his face became serious, "Where is the treasure map?"

Jiang Chaosheng didn't dare to sit any longer, got up and knelt down straight in front of the saint: "I'm not talented, I have never seen a treasure map in the Cheng family in the south of the Yangtze River, and the master of the Cheng family also categorically denied the treasure map." exist."

The emperor stroked his beard absent-mindedly: "Jiang Aiqing feels that her body is strong now?"

Jiang Chaosheng's forehead was already covered with cold sweat, but he was still determined: "Everything I said is true."

Naturally, his illness is not just a simple wind and cold, otherwise, why would he have rashes all over his body after the fever subsides, accompanied by hemoptysis?

Jiang Chaosheng was able to reduce his fever, but he still couldn't sit still, and wanted to take advantage of Jiang Chaosheng's life hanging by a thread to give him one last chance to ask the answer he wanted to know.

The emperor sitting in front of the table was silent, but his eyes were fixed on Jiang Chaosheng's body like thorns.

Jiang Chaosheng started coughing again, this time coughing violently, coughing up blood again.

three years ago.

Master Cheng and Young Master Cheng both went out to do business, and they won't be able to come back in a few months.It was precisely at this point in time that Jiang Chaosheng stepped in and sneaked into the Cheng family.

The incident between him and Cheng Jin happened after the Dragon Boat Festival.

It was a full three months from the rain to the Dragon Boat Festival. He had already exhausted all means, even searched the Cheng family's secret passages, but he could not find any evidence of the Cheng family's collusion with the enemy and treason, and what the saint wanted. That paper treasure map.

The Cheng family's Dragon Boat Festival was not peaceful that year, the second young master fell into a coma, and everyone lost the festive nature.As soon as Master Cheng and Cheng Yu returned to the mansion, they couldn't help questioning Jiang Chaosheng's identity, and locked Jiang Chaosheng, who had been beaten unconscious, in the firewood room.

late at night.

In a daze, Jiang Chaosheng heard someone walking into the woodshed, followed by the light of a lantern lit by someone, he looked at Master Cheng's family in surprise.

"The nobleman came to my house this time, presumably to find something to hand over to the imperial court?"

At that time, Jiang Chaosheng thought that he was about to die in the city, so he kept silent, which was a tacit agreement.

"The old man also knows that it will be useless to argue any more at this moment." Master Cheng sighed, "You can take Cheng Jin to Beijing, the sooner you go, the better."

Jiang Chaosheng's pupils widened, not understanding what Master Cheng meant.

Master Cheng laughed at himself, struggled for a long time, and then sighed: "My wife always blames me, saying that the eldest son and the younger son were all born in October of her pregnancy, and the palms and backs of the hands are all flesh. Why don't I love the little one?" Son. May I ask which father in the world would not love his children?"

"Cheng Jin likes you, and he can do such a great job for you. Then I just hope that the nobleman will not ruin his kindness. Since my Cheng family is doomed to perish, one more living is a living."

Cheng Jin hadn't been out of the Cheng family's door since she was a child, and in a small town with little traffic, she didn't even know that the Cheng family had a second son.There is no way for their family to escape, and the people sent by the superiors will definitely check the number of their family, and only hope that Cheng Jin's existence will not be noticed.

Jiang Chaosheng was shocked, but Master Cheng continued, "Perhaps, what you want is in Cheng Jin. Take him away."

After finishing what he had to say, Master Cheng left the firewood room, leaving Jiang Chaosheng alone to analyze what Master Cheng had said earlier.

Master Cheng didn't give him any more time.

At dawn on the second day, he and Mrs. Cheng staged a good show to drive them out of the house.Cheng Jin just cried, but stubbornly refused to let go of his mouth and begged for mercy. Before leaving, he knelt at the door of Cheng's residence and kowtowed three times before being dragged away by Jiang Chaosheng.

Although Mrs. Cheng said that she wanted to sever the mother-child relationship with Cheng Jin, there was indeed no money, tickets and jewelry in the package that Cheng Jin stuffed, for fear that he would have a bad life on the way to the capital.

The news of the fire at Cheng's house was heard in the teahouse of the station on the second day after they left.

The tea in Cheng Jin's hand shattered on the ground, and when he realized it, he was hysterically calling him to go back.

Jiang Chaosheng grabbed him firmly and did not let go.

No matter how insensitive Jiang Chaosheng's intuition was, after two days of precipitation, he was able to reflect the good intentions of the two elders of the Cheng family.

Whether it's the treasure map or the evidence of the Cheng family collaborating with the enemy and treason, maybe it doesn't exist at all, but it's just an excuse used by the saint to destroy the entire Cheng family.

Master Cheng deliberately told him that Cheng Jin had something he wanted, but he just hoped that he could save Cheng Jin's life and treat Cheng Jin well.

"Jiang Aiqing, I heard a report from my spies yesterday, saying that Aiqing, you and your wife spent an afternoon at the market?"

Jiang Chaosheng came out of his memories, and when he heard the words of the saint, the alarm bells rang in his heart.

"I was always wondering why my Princess Yunyang was not favored by Jiang Aiqing, but I saw Mrs. Jiang yesterday, tsk, no wonder Aiqing refused to be my son-in-law."

Jiang Chaosheng prostrated himself on the ground: "Your Majesty, any punishments are directed at the subject, don't make things difficult for him."

The saint sneered: "Then Jiang Aiqing thinks that the task I assigned you three years ago has not been completed yet, so what should I do?"

Jiang Chaosheng closed his eyes in despair, this day is finally coming.

After his serious illness, he became clear, and neither the treasure map nor the evidence of the Cheng family collaborating with the enemy and treason existed.The Holy Majesty just made up a reason, so that the wealthy Cheng family who refused to stand with the imperial court could be wiped out, and also to remind other wealthy families.And he will also be wiped out by the saint on the grounds of "violating the holy will" - the saint has been afraid of the military power in his hands for a long time, even if he returned the military power as soon as he led the troops back, it still failed to dispel His Majesty's suspicion of him.

Jiang Chaosheng no longer defended himself: "Minister, I deserve death."

The sage waved his hand to signal Jiang Chaosheng to step back and said nothing more.

Jiang Chaosheng returned to the mansion in a daze, and Cheng Jin's worried eyes met him.

He originally wanted to force a smile and tell Cheng Jin that he was fine, but just as he was about to speak, he coughed violently again.This time, the blood coughed up was so much that it could no longer cover it.

This act shocked everyone around, Biyun was the first to come back to his senses, and the quick-legged servant rushed to ask for a doctor.

Jiang Chaosheng put his hand on Cheng Jin's cheek: "Why are you crying, won't you be free after I die?" He wiped away Cheng Jin's tears, "Look, you will avenge the 36 members of the Cheng family who died in the fire. .”

Cheng Jin opened his hand angrily.

Jiang Chaosheng was not annoyed, and continued: "After I die, you promise me to live a good life. After all, I am also a general. Although I get a monthly salary, I have been fighting all year round, and I don't have many opportunities to spend money. The sage will reward me with gold, silver and jewels for winning battles. Over time, I still have a lot of money. You just take my money and squander it as much as you hate me. Anyway, as long as you are happy, is it okay?"

"General...!" Biyun was sobbing when he heard this.

"Biyun, these years, you have worked so hard to put me in a difficult position between Ajin and me. In the future, it won't happen again."

Jiang Chaosheng only felt that the strength in his body was getting less and less, and he was almost unable to support himself to stand.

Cheng Jin supported Jiang Chaosheng back to the house with the joint efforts of the maids.

"When will the doctor come?!" Cheng Jin roared anxiously with red eyes.

Jiang Chaosheng coughed twice more: "It's useless. His Majesty gave me poisonous wine..."

Before he finished speaking, Cheng Jin picked him up from the bed, patted his back and forced him to spit it out.

"Cheng Jin, be obedient."

Cheng Jin's face was full of tears, and he kept repeating: "Jiang Chaosheng, if you spit out the poisoned wine, I won't hate you anymore, okay?"

Jiang Chaosheng smiled and shook his head.

As everyone knows, his smile is uglier than crying.

"Ajin, from the palace to the mansion, it took me three sticks of incense to walk. During this time, it is enough to be poisonous, and it is enough. I will take another look at you when I come back."

Cheng Jin cried out in pain, and put her head in Jiang Chaosheng's arms: "Stop talking, stop talking..."

Jiang Chaosheng's breath was already very weak: "A Jin, if there is an afterlife, we..."

We don't want to be resentful couples for so long like in this life.

But before he finished speaking, he was already unconscious, and he couldn't hear Cheng Jin's cry of collapse.

Biyun was crying out of breath, knelt and crawled to Jiang Chaosheng's bed, and pulled Cheng Jin's clothes, "Mr. Jin, don't hate the general anymore, the general, he has never done anything. I'm sorry, you're sorry for Jiangnan. The matter of the Cheng family! The extermination of the Cheng family was not done by the general!"

What Biyun said again, Cheng Jin was powerless to analyze, just felt angry and bloody, "Wow", vomited a puddle of blood, and fell to the ground.

The long street is long, the fireworks are numerous, you turn on the light to look back, the short pavilion is short, and the red dust is rolling, I will sigh again.

The author has something to say: It's finally over...

I don't know if this story has been told clearly.

Probably the emperor found an unfounded treasure map as an excuse, and asked Jiang Chaosheng to go undercover to the Cheng family to find the treasure map. In fact, he wanted to destroy the Cheng family who refused to be classified into the court, and killed chickens for monkeys to warn Jiangnan. merchant's house.

During Jiang Chaosheng's undercover days, he and Cheng Jin saw each other right.

However, before the ambiguity could be revealed, Master Cheng and Big Brother Cheng came back and realized that there was something wrong with Jiang Chaosheng's identity, so they wanted to drive Jiang Chaosheng away.

But Cheng Jin, who is in love with his brain, in order to protect Jiang Chaosheng, drugged himself and Jiang Chaosheng, deliberately let his family find out that he and Jiang Chaosheng had an affair.

Master Cheng realized that the Holy Majesty might be eyeing the Cheng family, so he coaxed Jiang Chaosheng to take Cheng Jin away.As soon as the two of them left, the Cheng family was wiped out.

When Cheng Jin arrived in the capital, he found that Jiang Chaosheng was not an ordinary farmer, but a general, so he knew that Jiang Chaosheng had lied to him. Combined with the gossip during the trip, he believed that Jiang Chaosheng had ruined his family.

At that time, Jiang Chaosheng also blamed himself for the fact that his love with Cheng Jin was based on taking advantage of him.So I feel guilty for Cheng Jin.

Cheng Jin couldn't stand the death of her relatives and the deception of her lover, so she was depressed and wanted to die all day long.On the one hand, Jiang Chaosheng wanted to protect Cheng Jin, but on the other hand, he didn't want Cheng Jin to commit suicide, so he locked Cheng Jin and prevented him from going out.

As the biggest villain, the emperor poisoned Jiang Chaosheng, and the poison was gradual—cold, fever, rash, hemoptysis, and poisoned alcohol, and Jiang Chaosheng died with guilt.

Although he was not actually a member of the Cheng family who killed the family, he always believed that he was also involved.During the visit to the market before the ending, Jiang Chaosheng also wanted to say that Miemen had nothing to do with him, but he decided not to shirk responsibility, and simply made Cheng Jin hate him all the time.

That's probably it... EMMM In short, this story is not well told, and there is no ancient flavor at the end of an ancient essay _(:з)∠)_

When I practice my kung fu again, and my kung fu is perfect, I will re-write this article carefully. In all fairness, I still like this story, so it is a pity that I didn't finish it.

This story ends here!I hope that the little angels who like it can bookmark my column, and then bookmark my new article "I'll just kick over later" which will be published in January 2018.It's a cookie!Feel free to collect it!
