The straight man who wears bright clothes is also afraid of messing with him

In August of the 14th year of Hongwu, Cui Miao and Shen Qing rushed home with Sun Xiu, but it was a step too late. There were five members of the family, old and young, and all of them encountered accidents.From Sun Xiu's dictation, Shen Qing guessed the murderer who instigated Sun Xiu to assassinate Cui Miao.

"If I'm not mistaken, this person should be Zhang Ming, a member of the Yanshan Frontier Hundred Families."

Cui Miao thought for a while before remembering who this person was, and said with a wry smile: "It turned out to be him. But I have never had any grievances with him, why did he plot against me?"

Shen Qing said flatly: "Sometimes you don't need a reason to want to harm someone."

With Shen Qing's personality, he wouldn't take this kind of little-known person to heart, why he was so impressed with Zhang Ming, because Zhang Ming was the one who stopped Xue Lu from helping Cui Miao save people when they were crossing the river That Qianhu, so Shen Qing remembered him.Afterwards, he was demoted to a hundred households because of delaying the battle plan, but he held a grudge in his heart, thinking that Shen Qing deliberately retaliated because of the quarrel when crossing the river, and that's why he was demoted.Zhang Ming wanted to take revenge, but Shen Qing and his identities were too different, while Cui Miao was treated as a persimmon by him, and he became the target of revenge logically.When he thought about it, if Cui Miao hadn't been brave enough, he wouldn't have quarreled with Shen Qing, and naturally there wouldn't be anything after that.

Because Cui Miao was in a coma at that time, and because of the war, no one mentioned it, so Cui Miao didn't know about these things. Shen Qing was kept by Zhu Yuanzhang's side since he was a child. He saw through Zhang Ming's dirty mind at once.

"Brother Shen, I still can't figure it out. Even if I offended him unintentionally, if he wants to take revenge on me, he doesn't need to use Sun Ping's matter to harm me. Isn't this self-destructing?"

"Once a person's jealousy reaches the extreme, it's hard to say what he will do." Shen Qing looked at Sun Xiu and said, "Whether it is true or not, as long as he comes with me to Beiping, everything will be clear."

Sun Xiu asked in grief and indignation: "My lord, did my whole family also suffer from him?"

Shen Qing said realistically: "Although I'm not sure that it was him who did it, but it definitely has something to do with him."

"My lord, can I bury my family and go to Peiping with you?"

Shen Qing thought for a while and said: "We only have one day, the sooner this matter happens, the better."

Sun Xiu nodded and said, "As long as I can avenge them, I think they will understand."

Sun Xiu endured her grief, and with the help of Cui Miao and Shen Qing, she collected the corpses and hired some people to bury them. After a whole day of hard work, she finally finished.Sun Xiu did not report to the police. As a police officer, he knew that it would be difficult to find the murderer in such a case. Instead of wasting time here, it would be better to go to Beiping with Shen Qing. No matter whether his family was killed by Zhang Ming or not, he would There is hope to get clues from Zhang Ming.

It was night, the moon was as cool as water, and the bright moonlight shone on the spacious yard, but it looked a bit gloomy.Cui Miao couldn't sleep, so she came out of the room, looked at the sky full of stars, and couldn't help sighing in her heart: This is the era when fate is worthless!

"Why are you still asleep?" Shen Qing looked at Cui Miao's back, it was so unreal under the moonlight, as if he would disappear in the next second, Shen Qing couldn't wait to break the calm.

Cui Miao didn't look back, she was silent for a while, and said softly, "Brother Shen, have you ever thought about what it would be like in an era without war?"

"I have thought about it." Shen Qing replied, and continued: "Even if there is no war, there must be conflicts of rights. If there is conflict, there will be sacrifices, because human desires are like this."

Cui Miao was silent, and had to admit that Shen Qing had a clear view. Even in modern society, there is no war, but the struggle for power still exists, and the victim is naturally inevitable. This is human nature, the nature driven by desire.

Shen Qing, who always liked quietness, hated this kind of quietness at this time, he said aloud: "Dalang, you can return to Beiping with us tomorrow."

Cui Miao understood Shen Qing's worry, her eyes softened slightly, she smiled and said: "Brother Shen, don't worry, I will be fine. I have been away from home for nearly two years, and I don't know how my mother is doing. Besides, we are marching and fighting, and I don't know the next vacation. When will it be, I don't want to be delayed by this."

Shen Qing was silent for a while, then said: "Then you stay at home for a few more days, I will rush to Fengyang immediately after I have dealt with this matter, and then I will return to Beiping with Dalang."

Cui Miao said in embarrassment: "But my vacation is only for seven days. If I don't come back late, it will be a violation of military discipline. Even if the prince doesn't blame me, I will definitely be blamed."

Shen Qing insisted: "You don't need to worry about this, I will report it to the prince."

Cui Miao said hesitantly: "If Brother Shen can't come back for a while, what should we do?"

"Be sure to hurry back! Dalang must wait for me!"

Seeing this, Cui Miao nodded helplessly, and said, "Okay, then I will risk my life to accompany the gentleman!"

The three stayed at Sun Xiu's house for one night, and parted ways early in the morning. Shen Qing and Sun Xiu headed north and returned to Beiping, while Cui Miao headed south to Fengyang.All the way fast, Cui Miao entered the boundary of Fengyang in the evening, and could return home in half an hour, but Cui Miao reined in and slowed down the horse. I don't know how to face Li Cuilan.

Cui Miao had to admit that this mother, who would sacrifice everything for her son, had entered his heart unknowingly, and her current weight can be said to be comparable to that of Ms. Cui, perhaps because of this body and her blood. The reason for the connection.

After walking slowly for a while, Cui Miao adjusted her mentality and sped up to go home.When he came to the door of the house, it was already dark. He got off his horse, knocked on the courtyard door, and stood waiting at the door leading the horse.

After a while, there was movement in front of the door, and a childish voice sounded, "Who is it?"

Cui Miao was startled, and then replied: "Hua'er, it's me, brother is back."

Although she hasn't replied in the past two years, she writes a letter every once in a while. Li Cuilan likes Wang Hua very much, and every time she praises him for being a sensible and well-behaved child, she decides to adopt Wang Hua as her adopted son, which is why she has the current title.

There was silence for a while, and then there was another sound, which should be the sound of the door bolt being removed. With a sound of "squeak", the door was pulled open, and Wang Hua's small body appeared in front of the door. When he saw Cui Miao clearly at the door, he rushed over, hugged Cui Miao's waist, and cried, "Brother, You are back, mother, mother, she is sick."

Cui Miao was startled when she heard the words, and asked eagerly, "When did you get sick? Did you ask a doctor?"

With a mournful face, Wang Hua said with tears in his eyes: "Please, the doctor has invited many people, and I have taken a lot of medicine, but there is no improvement. Now my mother can't get out of bed."

Cui Miao took Wang Hua to the yard, tied the horses to the posts outside the cowshed, and walked quickly to the door of Li Cuilan's bedroom. Cui Miao called, "Mother, my son is back."

Li Cuilan, who was lying on the bed, was startled, then looked at Wang Hua, and said with a wry smile: "Look, Hua'er, mother misses your brother again, and always feels that your brother is back and standing beside you."

Wang Hua wiped away tears, pulled Cui Miao to the bed, and said: "Mother, brother is back, this time it's real, if you don't believe me, touch it."

Li Cuilan looked at Cui Miao, her cloudy eyes lit up, she stretched out her haggard hands to Cui Miao's face with some hesitation, and Cui Miao grabbed her.Cui Miao said with red eyes, "Mother, it's my son, Dalang is back!"

The warm body temperature made Li Cuilan realize that the person in front of her was Cui Miao, and she called out with a trembling voice: "Da Lang, you are back, you are really back. Good, good!"

Li Cuilan's originally old face was even more pale now, with gray temples, only a few sparse black hairs, and the skinny hands she held were painful, and there was a strange smell mixed with the smell of medicine on her body, Cui Miao didn't Thinking that she was so seriously ill.

"Mother, you are so seriously ill, why don't you let someone trust your son?"

Li Cuilan touched the corners of her eyes, and said in a warm voice: "Mother knows that you are fighting outside and are in a dangerous situation, so how can she bear to distract you? Besides, the family has money and can afford a doctor. Your return will only add to your troubles, so many worries people."

Cui Miao understood that even if Li Cuilan believed him a little, he would definitely not receive it in Yunnan, but at least he knew that if he hadn't been allowed to go home this time, he wondered if he would be able to see Li Cuilan for the last time. "Mother, tomorrow I will go to the city to inquire about it, and I will definitely hire a good doctor to treat you."

Li Cuilan's turbid eyes became even darker, she sighed, and said: "Da Lang, don't bother, mother knows your body well, it's the end of the battle, it's God's kindness to see you again before you die, mother is very grateful I am grateful. The money in the family was bought by Dalang with his life, and it is reserved for the two of you brothers to buy property, marry wives and have children, so there is no need to waste it on your mother."

Wang Hua couldn't hold back his sobs. Although he had been with Li Cuilan for a short time, Li Cuilan's sincere treatment had already made the gap in Wang Hua's heart disappear. He really regarded Li Cuilan as his mother, but God's will tricks people. Now Li Cuilan It's so serious.

Cui Miao held back tears and said, "Mother, you are ashamed of your son for saying that!"

Li Cuilan held Cui Miao's hand tightly, tears streaming down her face, and said, "Dalang, in my mother's heart, Dalang is the best no matter whether it was young and indifferent before or mature and courageous now. Mother has nothing in her life. It's a pity, the only thing that can't get over it is the mistakes made that year, so that Dalang couldn't take the scientific research, and he was on the verge of life and death every day. Mother is ashamed of the ancestors of the Cui family!"

"Mother, my son is doing very well now, he is appreciated by the prince, he is rewarded constantly, and he is clothed with fine food. He has not been filial to his mother for many years. It is his son who is not filial. If his mother is troubled by that matter again, his son will feel even more guilty."

Li Cuilan talked for a long time, she was a little out of spirit, and her face looked even uglier.

"Mother, you rest for a while, your son is by the bed, not going anywhere."

Cui Miao sat by the bed, held Li Cuilan's hand, and watched her fall into a deep sleep.
