As soon as I walked out of the door, Ziyu's girl was already waiting at the door, thinking that she had something to say to me. Seeing me push the door out, Ziyu glanced at me, then solemnly knelt down at me and bowed to me.

I feel a little emotional, this girl is really loyal and caring to the princess.

deliberately pretended to be casual on weekdays, and said:

"Silly girl, what is this doing, get up quickly. ”

"If the master of the horse does not agree to a request from the slave and maid, the slave and maid will never get up!"

This girl is so stubborn, sometimes she looks like a princess.

"Okay, I promise you, get up first. ”

Hearing me say this, Ziyu raised her head in some surprise, obviously she hadn't said her request yet, why didn't he listen to what it was and casually agreed. Is it that she is not sincere enough, or that the master of the horse does not take his loyalty seriously at all.

Thinking of this, Ziyu suddenly showed a look of grievance and unwillingness. I see that this girl has a strong temperament, can't she be biased and think that I will deal with her casually?

"How could I not know the thoughts of this stupid girl, you must be for the sake of the princess, and if it were for her, I would do whatever it was. ”

After hearing me say this, Ziyu was already in tears, it turned out that she didn't have to say anything, the princess would take good care of the princess, and the bond between them was already so deep.

Ziyu bowed again gratefully and said:

"Princess, I'll leave it to the master of the horse!"

"Well, please leave it to you, it's also her blessing to have such a loyal girl by her side!"

Helping Ziyu up, she gave me a blessing, and I said with a smile:

"It's still the 'domineering' girl on weekdays who looks like Ziyu!"

Ziyu listened, with tears in her eyes, but her mouth pursed, obviously angry, and she snorted and ignored me.

Ah, hey, you can't make this girl angry anymore, or there will be no good fruit to eat.

"Princess, I'll leave it to you to take care of. ”

Handed over to Ziyu to take care of, I was relieved, and then turned around to leave, but suddenly remembered something, stopped, and said again.

"It's going to be a bit heavy for the Hanlin Academy today, and I may come back later so that the princess doesn't have to worry. ”

Ziyu was slightly stunned, if it was a normal day, the horse master would have been eager to give birth to wings and fly back immediately, this time the princess was injured, he was like an arrow, why is it so abnormal today?

In response, Ziyu wanted to send me out, but I stopped her and told her to take good care of the princess, so I walked out of the courtyard and out of the gate.

Ah Zheng has already pulled the carriage and waited outside the door, it is rare for the old firehead to get up so early, he is also old, and his legs and feet have not been very sharp, he originally wanted to take him to the princess's mansion for retirement, but he was unwilling to leave this old mansion, saying that he would stay here for me.

I know the old firehead's intentions, which is to remind me that wealth does not forget its original intention. I have never been attached to wealth, but where the people I love are, there is my home.

Ah Zheng is still a stupid boy, and when he sees the age of the tall horse, he will exclaim, maybe he thinks that the old firehead has never seen the carriage, so he pulls the old firehead to look, and his face is full of showing off and proud. How did he know that the old firehead had walked on more bridges in his life than he had eaten!

"Master!"

Look, I'm coming, Ah Zheng hurriedly shouted.

"Well, it just so happens that the old firehead is also there, and I want to discuss something with you. ”

The old fire head nodded slightly, looked at Ah Zheng, and then looked at the determined look in my eyes, and it was all clear.

I bowed to the old firehead and said:

"Can you ask Lao Huotou to agree and let Ah Zheng be my butler?"

I am the eldest son and grandson of the Gao family, that is, the patriarch of the Gao family, and become my housekeeper, which means that he will be the housekeeper of the Gao family in the future, becoming my right and left hand, taking care of the family affairs for me.

Although the status is noble, but also with danger, from now on, he and my fate will be linked, I am rich, he is rich, if I die, he will never survive, this is actually a fair deal!

And Ah is Lao Huotou's own nephew, if Ah Zheng wants me to accompany me in a game of gambling with my life, I must first give Lao Huotou an explanation.

When Ah Zheng heard this, he knelt at my feet excitedly, which was a great trust in him.

The old fire head couldn't help but be a little moved, but he was still a little worried, Ah Zheng was still inexperienced and not enough to take on this important task.

"Is it already time?"

When the old firehead said this, he touched his legs with some impaired mobility with some excitement, so many years of resentment and hatred, is it shameful to finally wait for the opportunity to snow?

"Well, it's time for those who snatched a qiē from someone else's hands to pay the price they deserve. ”

I know that the old firehead's legs will make him feel pain every time it is wet and cold, and the most painful thing is not the body, but the shackles and torture in his heart, how the man wronged him back then, how he humiliated him in front of everyone, broke his legs, every time it hurts, he has to recall this painful memory again, and his resentment towards that person will be more.

The old fire head grabbed my arm excitedly, and was a little choked, glanced at Ah Zheng, who was still childish, and said:

"Ah Zhenghe, can you really take on this heavy responsibility?"

I patted his hand to reassure him and said:

"He can, because you taught him that!"

Yes, because the old firehead used to be the most powerful and trusted housekeeper by his father's side Gao Zhen!

"Okay, okay, Ah Zheng, listen well, from now on, your life is not your own, it is Gongzi's, you have to swear that you will not violate it in this life!"

Ah Zheng also burst into tears of gratitude, first kowtowed to the old firehead, and then kowtowed to me, this time his forehead was red.

"Ah Zheng's life is yours of the son, and in the future, what the son wants Ah Zheng to do, Ah Zheng will do......"

Before he could finish speaking, I patted him on the head, this stupid boy still looked stupid, fortunately, people are simpler, in fact, he is not stupid, on the contrary, he is still smart, but it is still a little short of what I ask of him.

"I can't give you too much time to grow, hurry up and meet my requirements for you, don't let me down, Ah Zheng!"

My eyes sank slightly, looking in the direction of the Imperial City, I felt that it was still so dark and the future was so bleak, even a few rare lights could not dispel the darkness that shrouded the entire Imperial City.

We move forward in the darkness, and in the end we are either swallowed up by the darkness, or we burn out the last bit of light and heat of ourselves, and perhaps the outcome will not change in any way.

However, I still want to fight, I want to fight, even if the future is slim and there is no hope, I want to protect what I want to protect, even if it is to get my hands covered with blood......

"Yes, Childe!"

For the first time, I heard his true determination and oath from Ah Zheng's mouth!

......

After leaving the imperial city, it was still early, and I did not go back to the private house, but went back to the ancestral house of the Gao family first, because in the family loyalty hall, one thing will happen, a major event related to the power trend within the Gao family.

I've been planning for this day for a long time, but I never had a chance to really start it, and I didn't expect that this opportunity was actually given by the rude caretaker.

Zhongyi Hall is the place where the Gao family held a family meeting to implement the ancestral family law, and in front of the hall is the ancestor of the Gao family who wrote the three words "Zhongyi Hall", which is to warn the descendants of the Gao family to follow loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness, and remember that the ancestral family law cannot be violated.

That year, I was kicked out of the Gao family by my uncle, and now, standing here again, I am already the head of the Gao family.

Uncle Gui is the prime minister of a country, and he still sits on the throne. I have been standing beside my uncle, and at the bottom right are the patriarch and several respected elders, and on the left are the other uncles and brothers, and the last one sitting is Gao Wei.

This formation is no longer as simple as a small family meeting.

With a somewhat frightened look on my face, I hurriedly knelt on the ground and saluted the elders and uncles, and said in a helpless tone:

Chen'er never thought that she would alarm the elders and uncles because of a trivial matter, and Chen'er was terrified. ”

When I said this, the elder was glad and said:

"How can this be regarded as a trivial matter, a subordinate can dare to rebel and kill the master?! This is a heinous crime, and it is not an exaggeration to put him to death on the spot!"

"That's right!"

Everyone except my uncle was filled with righteous indignation, and such evil slaves who committed rebellion and intended to kill their masters should be killed as an example.

Although Gao Wei did not echo it, he could not tolerate such a slave in his heart, if his soldiers did this, he would have been beheaded by his sword long ago.

As soon as I heard about murder, my face couldn't help but change, and I hurriedly explained:

"That day was because Chen'er was drunk and lost his proportion, if he killed his life because of this, Chen'er really couldn't bear it!"

"Chen'er, you're just too soft-hearted. This rebellion against the Lord is the ten heinous sins of injustice, these ten heinous sins, or the law that your uncle made in the book to reaffirm for the country, the state has the law of the country, and the family has family rules, how can it exceed the rules?!"

These ten evils are the ten unforgivable sins, one is rebellion, the second is rebellion, the third is rebellion, the fourth is rebellion, the fifth is unrighteousness, the sixth is great disrespect, the seventh is unfilial piety, the eighth is disharmony, the ninth is injustice, and the tenth is civil strife.

The elder's words were to involve his uncle, implying that since he had violated the law, no one could pardon him.

My uncle couldn't be silent any longer, and when he looked at me kneeling on the ground, he clearly understood that I would not let go of this great opportunity.

What I wanted, he was very clear. If he gives it, he will give it, and if he doesn't give it, then even if it is robbed, I will get it.

"Did the Nursing Home really want to kill you that day?"

The uncle pretended to groan, and then said this lightly.

Yes, the guard didn't want to kill me, but now I'm going to kill him!

"Uncle, Chen'er found out afterwards, the nursing home is the nephew of the executive's family, and this matter was originally my fault, and Chen'er didn't want to embarrass the elders and uncles, so it's better to stop this matter!"

The uncle was a little dumbfounded, but he didn't expect that his nephew was already a tiger with fangs, and he would grow into a tiger with sharp claws and teeth in the future.

In just one word, he forced him to cut off his arms!

"I see, that person is actually Gao Fu's nephew? No wonder he dared to be so rampant! Because he was loyal and loyal, he took Lao Chai's position and became the housekeeper of the Gao family. This time, it seems that after a long time, people get carried away. I really think of myself as half a master!"

The elders became indignant, and some began to accuse Gao Fu of all kinds of crimes of not keeping his duty.

"I heard that Gao Fu's family business is now like a landlord, it seems that in the near future, he can really be the master!"

"It seems that this Gao Fu's hands and feet are not clean, I think he discounted Lao Chai's legs because of Lao Chai's unclean hands and feet, this time, it should be his turn to taste the consequences!"

"Yes, such a minion can't be left ......"

After speaking, everyone turned their eyes to his uncle Gao Qin, this is to ask him to show his attitude immediately, this Gao Fu is his person, and it depends on the owner to beat the dog, Gao Qin has always been an iron face, and he does not tolerate personal feelings, so there are many people who have offended in the court, and because of his strange temper in the family, the clansmen are afraid of him.

Gao Fu has been sitting in a high position all these years, and he has indeed begun to feel uneasy, and it is also predictable that he will leave a handle. He also took advantage of the housekeeper to install cronies everywhere in the Gao family, these uncles should have heard of it a long time ago, because Gao Fu grew up serving himself, and some things were also done under his instructions, so even if he made a mistake, as long as it was not a major offense, it was only a small punishment for him.

Maybe even Gao Qin didn't expect that it was his connivance that indirectly harmed Gao Fu.

The more bold and reckless Gao Fu became, taking advantage of his uncle's support, he accepted bribes and sought personal gain, if there was no solid evidence, how could he be beaked by others, and if he was innocent, how could he be taken advantage of?

It's really a violation of heaven's evils, and you can't live if you do your own evil!

If Gao Fu is really guilty, then he, the master, is also guilty of negligence, and if he does not punish Gao Fu severely, he will be suspected of selfishness.

Now, the elders of the family are waiting for him to make a ruling.

If this is the case, Gao Fu is not worthy to continue to stay in the Gao family, and should be punished according to family law. And the guard, who rebelled and killed the lord, could not keep him, and was sentenced according to the law, and allowed his family to be buried, and paid a pension. Do you elders think it's appropriate to deal with it like this?"

The elders nodded in convincing, and then said to me:

"Chen'er, you have to learn hard from your uncle, what is decisive, you can't be indecisive, you know, you are the head of the Gao family, and the rise and fall of the Gao family in the future will be tied to you!"

"Yes, Chen'er will definitely respect the teachings of the elder and his uncle!"

After speaking, bow respectfully and repeatedly.

After saying goodbye to the elders and uncles and elders, Gao Wei glanced at me with a smile, and then said goodbye to my uncle before turning around and leaving.

In the end, it was just me and my uncle.

I stood up, bowed to my uncle, and was about to leave. The uncle, who had been sitting on the throne in silence, opened his mouth and said:

"Are you satisfied with this result?"

I pretended to be surprised, clasped my fists and saluted, and said:

"Why did my uncle say that?"

"I'm asking you, how did you feel about killing someone for the first time?"

I killed the guard, not only to pull Gao Fu and his party off the horse, but more importantly, to establish authority in the Gao family, like the guard, there is not only one person who does not take me in his eyes, if you want to deter them, you have to establish authority, and killing people to see blood is the fastest and most effective shortcut.

Finally, I also let my hands be stained with blood, and once the door of killing is opened, it will definitely end in killing!

Holding his hands tightly, he tried to suppress the fear and anxiety in his heart, and said:

"Now I can finally understand a little bit of what you were feeling at that time, uncle!"

I have no way back......
