Dugong is polite, Xiaosheng can't stand it

Sheng replied very seriously: "No, Xiaosheng didn't feel half grateful."

Xue Yu's expression tightened, and the scholar's tone was serious, at least after getting to know him, it was rare for him to meet him a few times when he was serious, this time it was true.

"I didn't expect that you, a scholar, are not only a nerd, but also a white-eyed wolf. Do you know how the governor will deal with those disobedient people?"

Xue Yu stared at the scholar coldly, but the scholar was not moved at all, just smiled and said: "How to deal with it, Xiaosheng is all ears."

Xue Yu established the East Factory single-handedly, how many people entered the gate of the East Factory, and how many people failed to get out, and how many people who saw righteous speech and righteousness finally screamed for mercy.

Seeing the scholar's relaxed and laughing expression, he actually wanted to tear this expression into pieces and trample on it.

"This governor can only accommodate those who are obedient, and the rest, this governor will definitely get rid of them, so that there will be no future troubles."

The scholar knew how many of Xue Yu's words were true and false, and also knew how easy it was for Xue Yu to want him to die, but those words he said were not meant to anger Xue Yu.

"How not to leave future troubles, the wild fire is endless, and the spring breeze blows and regenerates. Naturally, there is no threat to get rid of, but the lips are cold and the teeth are dead, and the rest will be afraid. After fear, there will be resistance."

Xue Yu said coldly: "The governor doesn't care about the consequences."

Xue Yu is too arrogant, but this kind of arrogance is very attractive in him, presumably the person who created the current Xue Yu thought so too.

The scholar got up and said: "You are used to living this way, if you don't try it, how will you know what it's like to live in another way."

"Scholar, when are you going to teach Ben Du a lesson?"

The scholar was standing in front of him. After he finished speaking, the scholar suddenly bent down, looked at him, and still said seriously: "Xiaosheng didn't teach you, but just worried about you."

"worry about what?"

The two faced each other, not caring how close they were.

"There are ups and downs in the officialdom, and I worry about when I will see you fall into the water."

Although Xue Yu finds the scholar pleasing to the eye, it doesn't mean that Xue Yu allows him to be so presumptuous!

Xue Yu grabbed his skirt and yanked it violently: "You are the first person who dared to say this in front of Bendu."

The scholar didn't care, what he said today really made people angry.

"Xiaosheng is just the first to say this in front of you. What is really unclear is how many people have such thoughts behind their backs."

"You asked Xiaosheng just now, but I am grateful to you, and what I said just now is the answer, Xiaosheng still said that, Xiaosheng is not grateful to you."

"Tomorrow, the governor will return to Beijing."

When Xue Yu opened the door and was about to go out, the scholar said: "Master Xue, have a good journey."

Xue Yu walked out of the door, and the scholar coughed twice. The wild fire was endless, and the spring breeze was blowing again. How many people coveted Dongchang.

The scholar knows what Xue Yu really wants, but now, the only thing he can do is to save himself. In order to get what he really wants in the future, he must first save his life.

(27) Farewell

In the blink of an eye, it was late autumn, and several months had passed since we parted with Xue Yu.

The book's life is hard. After so many days of rest, he has completely recovered. Some people say that it is God's blessing. The scholar doesn't believe in God's blessing. There is no God's blessing, let alone any gods to help him.

It was Xue Yu who wanted to save him, otherwise, he would definitely die here.

That night, the scholar left Rong'an City overnight, carrying an imperial decree, which was completely different from what he expected before, and the scholar was promoted again.

A scholar has never thought of becoming an official in the court. Even if he entered the court, he only wanted to spend his days as a petty official. Who knows, in less than two years, he has been promoted to several ranks, and he can be said to be on the rise.

Leaving Rong'an City, he was restless, so he took the road to return to his hometown. It has been too long since he left Shimen Town, so he should go back and have a look.

When he arrived in Shimen Town, it was still before dawn, and he was very familiar with every road here, and knew every household well, even if he couldn't see clearly, he could still find his way home.

His thatched thatched hut is still very good, as before, very clean, someone must have been here, the scholar didn't think much about it, the shabby thatched hut is so clean, it must be that some girls from the school have been here, and they are a bit mischievous. But sensible.

The scholar saw a pot full of red beans on the table, he picked it up, he didn't remember when he put such a pot of red beans here.

He glanced up and down the room again, but he caught a glimpse of an ebony pipe on the table. At this moment, he also heard the movement outside the room. The movement outside was quite loud. This time he came back and just wanted to watch quietly. Just look at the town.

He walked out, the outside of the house was very bright, the guards held a few torches, the guards who accompanied him to the capital were standing in front of the door, two guards outside the gate twisted one person over, distraught.

The man was escorted over, still muttering: "Why are you arresting people! Who are you!"

The scholar saw clearly that the arrested person was Xiao Niuniu's parents, and his house was the closest to the scholar's house, so it was considered a neighbor.

It must be Niuniu's parents who saw movement in the scholar's house and thought it was a thief, so they came to take a look.

The scholar asked them to let them go, and Xiao Niuniu's parents also recognized the scholar.

A candle was lit in the room, reflecting the three people in the room, the scholar invited Niuniu's parents into the room, but unfortunately there is no tea here, they are not outsiders, so there is no need to be polite.

Niu Niu's father sat on the chair and did not speak, he sighed several times, Niu Niu Niang also frowned, the couple has always been honest, in the scholar's impression, they have always been gentle and gentle, rarely sad, his heart I figured something must have happened in town.

"Is the town okay?"

He felt that his throat was a little dry, and the scholar could only wait. Not long after, Niu Niuniang began to wipe away tears, and the scholar became anxious when he saw it, he couldn't sit still, and suppressed his anxiety.

Niuniu's mother wiped her tears, although she tried her best to restrain herself, the tears and sadness kept pouring out, while Niuniu's father sighed heavily.

"The night you left, Lao Li's family burned down."

This sentence caught the scholar by surprise, he clenched his hands tightly, and still held the ebony pipe in his hand, which was what Old Li had been holding in his hand all day.

No wonder no one came to look for it. It turned out that the pipe had been lying in his room for so long.

The scholar only felt that his throat was blocked by something, and it became extremely difficult to speak. He swallowed, and after a long time, he took out the small jar from his arms.

"Is this Niuniu's?"

Niu Niu's mother shed tears and nodded, "Niu Niu often, often comes here, she asks me for red beans to put in a small jar..."

The scholar moved the small jar towards him, feeling a sense of uneasiness in his heart.

"Where's Niuniu?"

"Niu Niu was playful and fell into the pond. Someone went to save her, but it was too late to catch her." Niu Niu's father said every word, with reproach in his tone, as if he was blaming the annoying Niu Niu.

Niuniu's father did not shed any tears, but the village man's eyes were red, and his pain had already appeared on his face.

The scholar didn't talk any more, the weather was unpredictable, people had joys and sorrows, but when things happened to him, it became difficult to accept.

Red beans are the most lovesick, and Niuniu must be missing him. There are hundreds of red beans slowly in this small jar, but she always remembers coming here.

He also misses Xiao Niu Niu, and misses her clever and funny appearance.

Afterwards, he himself forgot what he said to Niuniu's parents, it was probably some consolation against his will, the grief in his heart was no less than theirs, he couldn't accept it, how could he persuade them who were Niuniu's parents.

The sky was hazy, and the scholar stood alone in front of the ruins, holding the small pot and holding the ebony pipe in his hand.

Lao Li's house was in ruins, the collapsed blackened walls, the decayed pillars, the sky was dim, he couldn't see the tragedy here clearly, but it was enough, he didn't even have the courage to go to that cemetery, that piece of land. The place where Lao Li's family and Niu Niu are sleeping.

Only then did the scholar realize that he was really timid, afraid of death, accident, and parting...

The scholar has always liked this place, because only here, he is just a scholar, raising flowers to teach, interacting with neighbors, and his life is as peaceful as a dream.

In a blink of an eye, this piece of pure land also changed its appearance, Lao Li was gone, and Niuniu was gone.

His only pure land no longer exists, and it doesn't matter where he wants to go in this life.

Tranquility no longer exists, so change your way of life.

Those guards were waiting for him at the entrance of the town. When the scholar walked over, a group of people came galloping on the road. When they got closer, they could clearly see Xue Yu's men.

"Grand Du is waiting for Your Excellency at Tongxia Pass, and specially sent me to pick up Your Excellency Zhao." The leader did not dismount, and his words were considered polite.

The scholar smiled wryly: "Master Xue really has a heart, it's rare that he still remembers Xiaosheng."

The scholar should also thank Duke Du, at least he didn't let him take him directly to prison. Xue Yu once rescued him, but their position was wrong from the beginning.

The scholar and his group quickly disappeared at the entrance of the town, and when the villagers who hurried over came, they only saw the group of people who had gone away, and had already become small and invisible.

The scholar didn't say a word when he came back, and he didn't make a sound when he left, but the folks still stood at the entrance of the town and watched them leave.

The scholar sat on the horseback and couldn't help looking back. He was stunned. He saw the red torches on the mountainside in the distance, which looked extremely small. In the distance, those red dots were on his Zhenzi, it was his relatives who came to see him off.

He turned his head and never looked back.
