Binh Duong Order

Tomorrow is New Year's Eve, and no one thought that the emperor would choose today to execute Shen Shuhang. The busy streets where people come and go, the white snow has been trampled thin, and everyone who watched the excitement underground is wrapped in their clothes. In a padded jacket, Shen Shuxing knelt on the execution platform wearing a prison uniform, his face and body were purple from the cold, and his bun was untidy.

The big man who was once invisible to ordinary people just knelt down in front of them. Shen Shuxing blinked, his face was already frozen and unconscious. He looked around at the people who were whispering below, and finally fixed his eyes on a certain At the place, he saw Yuan Man standing there looking at him, and nodded slightly to him, as if greeting him or seeing him off.

Shen Shuxing smiled, and the last acquaintance who came to see him off was only this old friend who had been fighting for half a lifetime, which is good, at least there is one more, isn't it?

At [-]:[-] p.m., give a token.

"Ouch!" The people underneath covered their eyes and exclaimed in surprise, watching with their own eyes the curtain of a legend in the past ended, the donated blood was left to condense in the blood, and Shen Shuxing's head was in a different place.

When a person died, the excitement ceased, the crowd dispersed, Yuan Man also hid in the crowd, sent someone to identify the body, and after a while, she asked her own people to take away Shen Shuxing's body. Come, I came here to collect Shen Shuxing's body.

After a person dies, ashes return to ashes, dust returns to ashes, no matter how many grievances and grievances there are, they will disappear. Besides, she and Shen Shuxing have no grievances in the first place, but they each perform their own duties. Where did so much grievance come from?

Shen Shuxing was alone, and Yuan Man didn't know where his son was, so he decided to find a place for him in the suburbs of Ling'an, set up a grave, told him to sew his head back, cleaned it up, and put on a shroud , sealed the coffin and buried it.

No one in Yuanman said anything about this matter. First, because Shen Shuxing offended too many people during his lifetime, it is really uncertain whether there are some ruthless people who can do some things like digging graves and whipping corpses. I don't know who to say it to.

Those people who had known Shen Shuxing before were either unable to protect themselves, or avoided it. They told Ye Shulin and the others that they were just expressing a few words. What are these emotions for?After thinking about it, Gu Xiujin seemed to be the only person who knew what he knew and could tell, but after Yuan Ming said goodbye, he never saw him again, and he couldn't even find anyone.

After thinking about it, only Yuan Man himself could come and see him off.

It's cold this winter, Yuan Man put a bunch of wine for Shen Shuxing in front of the grave, Shen Shuxing actually likes to drink, but it was a mistake to drink, so he gave up later, when he encounters happy things, he can drink two glasses as soon as he can, search When he was at home, a room full of good wine was carried out from the cellar, and some expensive wines were cheaper to others before they had time to unseal them.

Yuan Man poured each of them a glass, and when they were full, he chose himself, carried the most expensive glass, and said, "Prime Minister Shen, have a good journey." The dead branches and fallen leaves around the grave are covered in snow, thinking, when the spring is warm and the flowers bloom in the coming year, this will be a good place with lush greenery and the fragrance of birds and flowers, right?

It was snowing heavily, and Yuan Man couldn't stand the cold, so he returned to the city after burning the paper money for Shen Shuxing. Yuan Man didn't take a car, but walked all the way back. He didn't have time before, but now he is free. This world is full of fun, always It's one thing to see and one less to see. Yuan Man wants to see more, and doesn't want to miss many scenery in the car all the time.

Entering Ling'an streets and alleys are full of New Year's goods, bustling, and from a long distance, you can see every household staring at the smoke, the whole street is full of fragrance, today let's get rid of the things that have been placed. Well, it will save a lot of time to cook the New Year's Eve dinner tomorrow. The people on the street are friendly, and they all have smiles on their faces, and they don't look like they just saw the beheading just now.

Wrapped in the crowd, Yuan Man walked forward, passed through an alley, and saw Young Master Gu in front of him, remembering that Ye Shulin told her that the Gu family had redeemed him for the New Year, he wanted to go up and say hello , but Young Master Gu just kept walking forward, Yuan Man's voice was drowned in the noise, he didn't hear it, so Yuan Man had to follow.

After following Young Master Gu for a while and seeing where he stopped, Yuan Man understood what he wanted to do, walked away quietly with interest, wrapped his clothes tightly, and sighed: "Young Master Gu has grown up!" ah."

Young Master Gu raised his head and looked at the dilapidated house in front of him, feeling a little uncomfortable. Who would have thought that this was the place where the third-rank officials of the imperial court lived?Gu Cheng went up to knock the door, and a voice came from inside, asking, "Who is it?" Seeing that the knocker didn't respond, the people inside opened the door, and when the wooden door opened, the person who opened the door couldn't help but see Gu Cheng. I was taken aback.

Gu Cheng saluted and greeted: "Master Zhao, I'm sorry to bother you."

The person who opened the door was Zhao Shijian. Zhao Shijian obviously didn't expect Gu Cheng to come over. After reacting, he left the door behind and walked into the house: "It seems to be a little early if you come to pay New Year's greetings."

When Zhao Shijian saw Gu Cheng, he was not as excited as Gu Cheng imagined, but rather calmly made Gu Cheng feel at a loss, because Zhao Shijian knew about Gu Cheng's being redeemed for the New Year, so he was not surprised. He wanted to convict the Gu family, so he couldn't be caught wrong at this time. Who knows, did the Gu family deliberately let Gu Cheng come over to make him angry so that they could make a fuss about it?In this case, he asked the Gu family to take a good look at what demeanor is, so as to stop their despicable thoughts.

Seeing that Zhao Shijian had no intention of chasing him, Gu Cheng followed him into the door, fastened the door tightly, and once the door was closed, he couldn't see the commotion outside, but he couldn't stop the laughter from coming in. It was precisely because of these voices , It seems that this small room is even more lonely.

Gu Cheng followed the people into the house, only saw that the inside of the house was shabby, without any valuable furnishings, so he put a charcoal basin in the center to keep warm.

After Gu Cheng came out, he inquired about Zhao Shijian, because according to the art of war, knowing yourself and the enemy is the only way to win a hundred battles. After inquiring, Gu Cheng found out that Zhao Shijian's wife and Zhao Shijian were young couples, and they were childhood sweethearts. The affection was very strong, even the Minister of Rites at that time offered Zhao Shijian a marriage proposal, but Zhao Shijian politely rejected it.

Later, Mrs. Zhao followed Zhao Shijian to many places, and finally transferred back to Ling'an. Zhao Shijian became Jing Zhaoyin, and took the old man in the family to enjoy the family relationship. The two should be stable and happy. However, when Mrs. Zhao was outside with Mr. Zhao, she was injured and fell to the root of the disease, and it was extremely difficult to conceive.

Originally Mrs. Zhao wanted Zhao Shijian to take a concubine, but Zhao Shijian refused, thinking that she was too sorry for Mrs. Zhao, but she didn't get pregnant until Mrs. Zhao was about fifty. Mrs. Zhao treasured this child very carefully. Everything was fine at first, but Mrs. Zhao couldn't make it through the delivery, so she left the child behind.

This child is Zhao Yi.

Although Zhao Shijian loves Zhao Shijian very much, he does not dote on him and teaches him carefully. It is a pity that Zhao Shijian is too busy with his official duties, and there is only an old mother at home with his little grandson. The surrogate, who has been carrying misfortune for Zhao Yi since he was a child, has caused such a misfortune.

Gu Cheng only found out after inquiring about the people Zhao Yi bullied and the incidents he provoked. Zhao Shijian had paid money and efforts to deal with the aftermath. I couldn't stand the old man's crying and threatening to die, so I had to give up.

It is only now that Gu Cheng knows that Zhao Shijian's mother was so saddened by Zhao Yi's death that she was found by her family the next day and committed suicide by hanging herself. Zhao Shijian lost both parents in just one day. At that time, Zhao Shijian tried his best to convict Gu Cheng of death, but he did not expect that the Gu family betrayed Gu Cheng and saved Gu Cheng's life. Save people.

That's why Zhao Shijian recklessly sold his property, collected evidence, and opened up relationships, in order to return Gucheng's death penalty again.

The two people, Gu Cheng and Zhao Shijian, are sitting face to face with each other separated by the revenge of murdering their son, which is indescribably strange.

Since it was Gu Cheng who came to find Zhao Shijian, he should be the first to speak: "Master Zhao, do you really want to avenge your son that much?" The person who died innocently because of an outsider should indeed take revenge, but isn't he still alive?So give everything, why bother?

But after thinking about it again, it seems that it is really necessary.

Young Master Gu thought of that Mei Niang in Jinzhou. She also tried her best to seek justice for her son. His own family also tried every means to keep him alive. He had never been a father, so he couldn't empathize with him. Maybe it was with his parents. , You can do everything for your children.

Zhao Shijian laughed twice, as if he was laughing, but he didn't know what he was laughing at: "It's not about revenge." Zhao Shijian looked at Gu Cheng: "It's just a little unwilling."

"The son is not the father's fault. I am also responsible for Yi'er becoming like that. If I hadn't been soft-hearted, Yi'er might not have died. However, I can accept that Yi'er knelt under the court to plead guilty, and was taken to the execution ground to be beheaded." It is unacceptable to show it to the public, and he just died quietly at the hands of others."

"On the day of Yi'er's death, my mother's 90th birthday was two days away. Yi'er also said that she would make longevity noodles for grandma. In the end, before the noodles were too late, the grandpa and grandson entered the underworld together. I just don't know. When we get down there, can mother eat the longevity noodles made by Yi'er?"

"Besides, it's all mistakes." Zhao Shijian looked at Gu Cheng: "Why do you have a chance to correct yourself?"

Zhao Shijian's eyes turned red when he said these words. An old man who was nearly seventy years old had sore eyes but couldn't shed tears. How could he not feel sad when he looked at this young man who was about the same age as his son in front of him?If Yi'er hadn't died under his sword, his family wouldn't have been ruined, and his son would have been educated and punished, and he would have reformed himself. But now that his son is dead, it's too late to say anything.

They all made mistakes, his son has no chance, Gu Cheng can get rid of his crimes again and again, seeing the person who killed his son live a happy and healthy life, he can't do it, he can't do it no matter what He realized that even though he knew very well that his son was responsible for this, he just couldn't do it.

He seemed to see the person who killed his son being punished, just like seeing the person who caused his family to be ruined and decapitated, he wanted to go down and bury his son with him.

Gu Cheng couldn't answer this question, because he knew that his family gave him the opportunity, and Zhao Yi's opportunity was cut off by himself.

During the past few days in prison, Gu Cheng thought a lot and understood a lot of things.

It was wrong for him to kill Zhao Yi, but Zhao Yi deserved to be killed. Since Zhao Shijian did not discipline his son well, he had to bear the consequences. It was Gu Cheng who was going to tell Zhao Shijian at first, but seeing Zhao Shijian's current state, Gu Cheng felt that it was unnecessary. Besides, Gu Cheng couldn't bear to look at this old man.

He came to see Zhao Shijian today just to apologize.

Gu Cheng knelt down and gave a big gift to Zhao Shijian: "Master Zhao, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have taken Zhao Yi's life for my own sake." Gu Cheng apologized because he did not come out of justice, but regarded Zhao Yi as In order to prove himself as a stepping stone, not to mention, after knowing that he had indirectly killed an old man, Gu Cheng could not help being moved by it, and even blamed himself. He is sorry for Zhao Shijian and should apologize.

But did Gu Cheng regret it?In fact, there is no such thing. Zhao Yi has done a lot of evil. If Zhao Shijian hadn't covered him up, he would have died a long time ago. But every yard counts. He came here today not to seek justice for the people who were bullied by Zhao Yi, but only for his own frivolity. Make a closure.

His fault lies in his original intention, responsibility, and consequences. Therefore, he is ready to take all these responsibilities.

Zhao Shijian looked at him like this, and sneered, "What? Bitter trick? Who came up with a good trick for you?" No wonder Zhao Shijian thought this way. Too much, in order to get rid of the crime, all kinds of tricks came out one after another, Zhao Shijian has long been numb after seeing it, Gu Cheng glared angrily a few days ago, and kowtowed to apologize today, why can't Zhao Shijian think too much?

Gu Cheng stood up, looked into Zhao Shijian's eyes, and said firmly: "Master Zhao, you asked me to take up my own responsibility and bear the evil consequences I planted. I can do it, please open your eyes too. , take a good look at your son's karma."

After saying this, Young Master Gu turned around and left. When Gu Cheng opened the door to leave, Feng Xue accidentally rushed in, spun around, and disappeared before it fell. Enemies, each has its own reasons, and each thinks that they are right, and they are not at war, but in the end they broke up unhappy.

Gu Cheng untied his knot, and went to Fengxue without hesitation. Zhao Shijian was imprisoned. He didn't know whether this obsession with ruining his family would be punished by Gu Cheng or himself. And crying, old tears vertical and horizontal.

Gu Cheng came out from Zhao Shijian's place, and instead of going home, he turned around and went to the Four Seas Escort Bureau, and asked the concierge to pass the message. After a while, Yuan Man came out, saw Gu Cheng, frowned and said, "It's such a cold day, What did you ask me to come out for? Go, go in and sit down if you have anything to say."

Gu Cheng shook his head and rejected Yuan Man's invitation, and directly explained his intention of coming: "Yuan Man, can you lend me someone?"

"what?"
