Chapter 170: I don't know what year Jiazi is set
She looked at a pair of wonderful people kneeling down in front of her, her eyes were like stars, and she begged pitifully: "Sister, don't be angry with us, okay? We didn't mean to...... We don't want to do that...... Have mercy on us, or we won't live......"
Jiang Xiange's face was indifferent, she didn't know that everyone suffers, but who could forgive, accept, and all these things so easily?
She pulled away from Wanyu's wrist and moved away from them, not wanting to look at them directly.
She felt heartache, why would such a beautiful person do such a dirty thing? She could ignore it, but it didn't show that she had accepted it.
"What the hell is going on? ”
Wanyu choked up and said, "Sister, please save us!" We know that my sister is not a small woman, and she will not die without help...... Now, it is Madame who wants our sisters' lives, and our sisters can't live......"
"Madam?" Jiang Xiange's mind was a little dizzy, she always felt unstable in her heart this day, and she didn't know why, so her reaction was a little slower: "What does mother-in-law want to do to you?
Wandie cried very sadly, thanks to Wanyu to speak: "Madame said that we ...... They said that we had seduced our son, and that they would send someone to arrest us back to the mansion and beat us to death! These are all told to us by Madame's maid Sister Huahe, and we won't survive!"
Jiang Xiange thought for a moment: "No, mother-in-law, this is just angry talk, she heard that you stayed here, she must be angry in her heart...... It's not really going to be cruel to you...... She won't. You don't have to be afraid, Rong An has asked her mother-in-law for you, and she won't do anything to you. ”
"But, but ......" Wanyu whimpered: "After all, our sisters are not in the right way, this is also our own fault, no wonder, fortunately, Sister Living Bodhisattva does not care about us, and takes us in, but we have no proper name here, today the son and Mrs. wanted, tomorrow Mrs. will be able to go back again...... Besides, the adults are still thinking about us sisters, in case ......"
"No!" This incident is a great torture for Jiang Xiange, she doesn't want to touch such a complicated relationship the most, she doesn't want to be involved in such an unbearable thing, she really doesn't want to continue to listen, "Rong An won't leave you alone, you can rest assured, you won't be in danger in the future." ”
Today, for some reason, her patience was so little that she surprised herself.
Maybe she Jiang Xiange is not a magnanimous person, how can she be tolerant of everything?
She was so tough, the twins seemed to be frightened by her, and cried even more, Wandie said: "Sister, we beg you, please go and tell Madame in person, will you protect us?" ”
Wanyu added: "Yes, yes, only if you go and say it in person, sister, and say that you will accept us as concubines for your son, your wife will agree, and we will be able to live in peace." ”
Finally understood their intention to cry today, Jiang Xiange also seemed to be frightened, looked at them in a daze, and said in disbelief: "What? You want to be Rong An's concubine?"
The long-suppressed anger and grievances in her heart came flooding up, and she said, "You have only been here for a few days, how can you do this...... I've only been married into the Yang family for less than three months, and I'm going to take a concubine for my husband? Are you trying to humiliate me?"
When they saw that Jiang Xiange was really angry, they continued to cry bitterly, banging their heads on the ground, Jiang Xiange couldn't stop them, and they couldn't persuade them.
Jiang Xiange knew that this could not be agreed to no matter what, this was a great shame, she couldn't let people destroy everything she wanted to maintain like this, her pride allowed her to tolerate, but she was not allowed to bow her head.
After persuasion, Jiang Xiange was tired, she stopped talking, did not move, her heart was like iron and stone, she just sat there fixedly, let them do everything they could to beg for persuasion, she had no intention of wavering.
It's too much......
Tang Huan came back from outside, hurriedly ran into her room, did not pay attention to the unusual movement in the room for a while, and only shouted when she entered the door: "Miss! Miss! Oh no! I was on the street just now, on the street...... I heard that Master Gu ......"
As soon as he heard Tang Huan's words, Jiang Xiange, who was dumbfounded, immediately got up from his seat and walked towards Tang Huan anxiously: "What's wrong? What's wrong with Uncle Gu?"
Tang Huan said while relieving his breath: "I heard on the street that Master Gu went to Weiyang Lake to fish today, but was pushed into the water by Prime Minister Yin!"
"What?" Jiang Xiange suddenly became anxious: "How can this be? Uncle Gu is okay?
Tang Huan was also very concerned, and replied eagerly: "I don't know the news yet, I just heard that I was sent back to the house, why don't I come back and tell the young lady immediately, so I can go to the Gu Mansion to have a look." I heard that there were many sergeants by the lake at that time, but I don't know what they want to do......
Before Tang Huan finished speaking, Jiang Xiange couldn't bear it anymore, and ran straight out of the door: "Prepare the car!
"Oh yes!"
The master and servant were about to go out, and seeing that Jiang Xiange was leaving, Wanyu was unwilling to let their sisters be left behind, so she pounced directly, knelt down in front of Jiang Xiange to stop her, and pestered her to continue crying and begging.
Jiang Xiange's heart had already flown to the Gu Mansion at this time, how could he still have the heart to pay attention to this, so he only said: "You wait for me to come back!"
Tang Huan couldn't stand it anymore, she hated this pair of twins more than Jiang Xiange, and pulled Jiang Xiange away: "Young lady, don't care about them! Let's go!"
Wanyu gritted her teeth, pulled Jiang Xiange's dress, and said poignantly: "If my sister doesn't agree to us, we will keep kneeling here until my sister agrees!"
Jiang Xiange saw that she didn't plan to let go, and she really didn't want to be entangled by her, so she was heartbroken, and only said: "Okay, I promise!"
Wan Yu let go of his hand with satisfaction, kowtowed and thanked him, and Jiang Xiange had already stepped out of the door without looking back.
……
After Gu Qingxuan was taken back to the mansion by Gu Qinghuan, he immediately bathed and changed clothes and drank ginger soup, even so, he still felt a little cold, and his head was dizzy and feverish. Gu Qinghuan and Gu Qingning, who then returned home after hearing the news, urged him to go to the couch to rest, he couldn't but compromise, so he simply really got sick, wrote a leave note, and asked Tang Bo to catch a lot of medicine to cure wind and cold, and by the way, let the news of his infection spread along with what happened by the lake.
Sangu thought that when he heard the news of his falling into the water, the first person to visit him must be Jiang Hechuan, but Jiang Xiange arrived first.
When she arrived at Gu's mansion, Sangu was talking in Gu Qingxuan's bedroom, and when she walked in anxiously, the three of them all laughed.
As soon as he saw the appearance of the family talking and laughing in the hearth of the stove in the house, Jiang Xiange knew that he was worried again, and his trembling heart finally calmed down, "Uncle is in a big problem? How could such a scary thing happen?" As soon as I heard about it, I was terrified. ”
Gu Qingxuan sat on the couch with a wolf fur covered with a quilt, a cup of steaming sweet wine in his hand, and said with a smile: "It's okay, Uncle can still stand up to this crime." Xian Ge really has a heart, and he still thinks about his uncle's old bones, unlike these two heartless ones, who only say that I can't die, and they are not in a hurry at all. ”
He quipped, Jiang Xiange sighed helplessly, "If it's okay, why don't you mention any dead words? Physical health is always the most important thing, how can my uncle be so involved in danger so many times?"
Gu Qingning and Gu Qinghuan were still laughing there, Gu Qingning relieved her heart and said: "Don't worry about strings, when has father ever done something he is not sure of and taken unnecessary risks? It is Prime Minister Yin Cheng who is really guilty today......"
Jiang Xiange poured a cup of hot tea and replaced the wine in Gu Qingxuan's hand: "Drinking alcohol hurts your body, and hot tea can also keep you warm." ”
Gu Qingxuan happily took it and took a cup of tea, "I was able to attract the string song so quickly, but I think the news spread very quickly...... Guess what, when will your father arrive?"
Jiang Xiange smiled: "I'll make an estimate, it's time to arrive." ”
Sure enough, as soon as her words fell, a voice came from outside the door: "Brother Qingxuan!"
When the four people in the room heard this, they all immediately burst into laughter, and Jiang Hechuan, who walked into the door, was also slightly stunned when he saw this scene.
"Good Gu Qingxuan!I know you can't die!" Jiang Hechuan also smiled, and was even happier to see his daughter here.
The two families got together again to talk and talk, Jiang Xiange temporarily forgot about those things that were torture every time he thought about it, only laughed and added tea on the side, closed the door, and calmly discussed with Jiang Hechuan about the matters he had planned.
Gu Qingxuan held the wooden cup with temperature, thoughtfully, and said to Jiang Hechuan: "Brother Hechuan, I need a killer." ”
Jiang Hechuan thought for a while, almost understood his plan, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll get you a killer of the Qianrin faction, brother, you must know that I have done a lot for you." ”
Gu Qingxuan smiled, put down the cup, and bowed to him: "Shopkeeper Jiang's great kindness, Gu is grateful." ”
Jiang Hechuan chatted with him, asked him about the time of employment, and left the Gu family first, and hurried to contact the killer.
After discovering that Yin Qixiu was in the Heluo Sword Sect, Gu Qingxuan arranged for the masters of the Heluo Sword Sect to stay in Chang'an City to withdraw from Chang'an, so Yin Jiheng could not succeed at all today, and Sangu had no sharp blades to use for the time being, so he had to ask Jiang Hechuan to contact the killer gang that was in the business of killing people, buy killers to commit murder, and remove obstacles for them.
There are countless killer gangs on the rivers and lakes, and the Qianrin faction is the most terrifying and the most expensive one, they only take the most dangerous and highest-bid mission, and if they accept it, they will definitely complete it.
The killer management rules of the Qianrin faction are extremely strict, once you join the faction, it is equivalent to handing in your own life, and the first thing you do after accepting the task every time you accept it, is not to kill, but to "kill yourself", they will take the poison that occurs at regular intervals, and the amount of medicine is controlled with the time required by the task, but if you don't complete the task at the scheduled time, you can only report back to a dead end.
……
Gu Qingxuan fell into the water, contracted a cold, and took sick leave at home on the same day, suspending political affairs.
And the news that he was pushed into the water soon spread, and it was rumored everywhere in Chang'an City that the prime minister of the dynasty had gone crazy.
He pretended to be crazy before, and it seemed to others that it was just a temporary stimulus, and it would always be fine.
Now, he pushes his colleague into the water with his own hands, and if he is either really crazy, he is murdered.
Of course, everyone is willing to think about the good - so, Yin Jiheng is really crazy.
With Gu Qingxuan's leave, this matter reached the emperor's ears on the same day, and the next day, there were many discussions in the court.
The emperor decreed, the prime minister was disordered and unclear, it was not suitable to manage the government, there was a delay in state affairs, and there was a mistake in himself, so he temporarily removed Yin Jiheng from the post of prime minister, and withdrew the seal, waiting for the better, and then returning to the court.
This holy decree was transmitted to the Yin Mansion, Yin Jiheng and his three sons knelt down to listen to the decree, and after the Jin father-in-law read the holy decree, Yin Jiheng received the decree and thanked him.
Bow three times heavily: "Thank you, Lord Longen, be loyal to my emperor, God bless Daqi!"
Without the fear of the Yin family brothers, he was unusually calm at this time, so calm that even the Jin father-in-law felt that the rumors seemed to be false.
In the end, Yin Chengyuan took the seal and handed it over to him.
Gonggong Jin said to him cautiously: "Please take the seal and be inspected." ”
Yin Jiheng opened the seal box and took out this piece of the seal that he had for less than a year, he held the heavy seal in his hand, and the palm of his hand was close to the engraving of the seal, and the chill spread from the palm of his hand, so cold that he began to tremble from the bottom of his heart, and it was too real.
It was the last straw that crushed the camel, and it was only the weight of this Xiangyin that crushed Yin Jiheng.
People who are over half a hundred years old, the long-term mental torture and physical torment have made him more and more old, no matter how expensive the family is, they can't heal the invisible blade left on the face and heart of the years. His sunken eyes struggled to widen, and the more they opened, their sockets were red and swollen, and their eyes were covered with deep and shallow bloodshots.
He glanced at it, closed his eyes, his heart trembled, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
Red blood spots splashed on Xiangyin, Yin Jiheng fainted, and the Yin brothers rushed over to help him in panic.
Gonggong Jin took the big seal from Yin Jiheng's hand before the seal fell to the ground, wiped it with yellow brocade and sealed it into the box, looked at Yin Jiheng with blood at the corner of his mouth, bowed his head and sighed a little, and then said goodbye to the Yin family who was in a mess.
"Please cherish it a lot, Your Majesty will wait for your Excellency to return to the court in the future, continue to assist the Emperor, and support Sheji. ”
……
Late at night, no moon.
Yin Jiheng gradually became conscious in his drowsy sleep, his mouth and throat were full of bitter medicinal taste, and bursts of false fire burned in his body, but he had no strength in his body. He felt as if there was an obstacle in his nose that was making it difficult for him to breathe, and he woke up in pain, struggling to lift his eyelids, which weighed a thousand pounds.
In the main house of the Yin family, the lights were all turned off at this time, and there was no sound except for his wheezing, and the heavy breath fluctuated in the cold air, with a penetrating power that penetrated people's bone marrow.
In the desert night, there was no candlelight, only the cold moonlight entered the house, his eyes felt this faint light, his vision gradually cleared, and he saw a person sitting in front of the couch.
I didn't see the man's face, but his figure in the darkness was so familiar.
"Gu Qingxuan......"
He wanted to exclaim, but he didn't even have the strength to exclaim.
Gu Qingxuan, who was supposed to be recuperating at home, appeared in his room like this and approached him silently.
"The prime minister is seriously ill, and Gu has come to visit him. His voice floated in Yin Jiheng's ears as if it were nothing.
Yin Jiheng felt that his consciousness and consciousness were slowly moving away from him, his mouth and nose were covered with a thick square scarf, and his breathing began to work.
The desire to survive made him instinctively struggle violently, his mouth constantly opening and closing, wanting to call for help, trying to get the square scarf off, but he couldn't do it at all. He writhed on the couch with what little strength he had left, trying to escape from this place, away from this terrible man, but it was all to no avail.
Gu Qingxuan sat there and looked at him quietly, until Yin Jiheng was exhausted, he spoke: "The medicinal soup you drank in the past two days has been mixed with calming medicine, which is harmless, but if you add too much weight, it will inevitably make people lose their strength and lose their minds, Gu Mou dares to come tonight, he is ten percent sure, and it will be useless if you resist." ”
Gu Qingxuan spoke to him slowly, "Prime Minister, in fact, Gu Mou has a sense of regret, if you say that you understand your heart, your lord, you really know Gu Mou too well, you and I know each other, I'm afraid there is no one in the world to compare, but if you know too well, it is too easy to misunderstand, and if you see too clearly, you will be easy to see clearly...... Don't you want to know everything? I've told you all the truth, what can you do to me? Don't you want to kill me? I went to the appointment alone, didn't I survive? But it did make Gu suffer a lot, Prime Minister, you are a good opponent, Gu sincerely admired. ”
"It's a pity that in this world, in Vanity Fair, you and I will eventually be mortal enemies of each other, and Gu Mou can't be killed. ”
"Don't you want to know whose hand Gu Mou borrowed to kill people? Don't you bother to set up a trap to lure you, don't you just want to find out the murderer who killed for Gu? Prime Minister, Gu Mou is here tonight to tell you that if you have the intention to kill, you must have the courage to kill yourself, and you can bear human life, and the biggest murderer is yourself. ”
His bony hand stretched out to Yin Jiheng, covered his face, and pressed it hard through the square scarf.
"Prime Minister, leave your name in the annals of your thousand years of achievements, let Gu do it for you. Don't leave it at that. ”
He looked at Yin Jiheng like a fish hanging on a fishing hook, making the last struggle in pain, trembling violently, his eyes burst out, turning out blue and white, hatred was still like a knife and a torch in his eyes, without the slightest hint of weakness.
Those eyes kept staring at Gu Qingxuan.
Gu Qingxuan frowned slightly and looked at him.
Until this moment, the two sides have not compromised, and they are still doing the final battle, until one of them closes his eyes first.
When Gu Qingxuan opened his eyes, Yin Jiheng had already stopped, silently, and his stiff body no longer struggled.
Gu Qingxuan relaxed his wrist, stretched out his fingers to check his pulse, then withdrew his hand, took off the square scarf and put it in his sleeve.
He sat there for a while, as silent as the man on the couch.
The moonlight entered the house, reflecting the light and darkness in the room, half of his figure was in the darkness and could not be fathomed, and half of his true face was revealed in the bright light.
Gu Qingxuan turned his head, looked up at the sky, and the crescent moon chased away from the clouds.
There was only an ethereal sigh in the room.
……
The next morning, Yin Qixiu personally came to deliver medicine to Yin Jiheng, and saw that the people who were waiting in the main house on weekdays were waiting at the door with water basins, towels, gargles and other utensils, and the horse steward also looked sad and a little hesitant.
He stepped forward and asked, "What's the matter?"
Steward Ma shook his head and replied, "Childe, what's strange is ...... The old servant came to serve in the morning, and asked the lord to come in early and the adult did not return, and the old servant wanted to go in to visit, but found that the door was locked...... The old servant didn't dare to disturb the adults, I don't know if the adults got up, and invited the son to go in......"
Without waiting for the horse steward to finish speaking, Yin Qixiu's expression suddenly changed, and he couldn't help but throw the medicine bowl in his hand, and slapped the door directly, inexplicably panicked, and he felt very bad: "Father! Father!
After shouting for a while and there was no response, Yin Qixiu was in a hurry, and directly slammed the door with his body, and the horse steward and other subordinates saw this and helped one after another.
After a while, Yin Chengyuan and Yin Shaochu also came, and the three brothers slammed the door of the main house open.
The scene inside the door made them lose their breath in shock, and they were silent for a moment, followed by a heart-rending cry.
On the beam in the middle of the main house, Bai Lian is like ice, three feet below, Yin Jiheng hangs in the air, his body is stiff, and his eyes are not twilight.
Dressed in the prime minister's court clothes, his appearance is neat and luxurious.
