At eight o'clock in the morning, a team of chariots and horses drove out of the north gate of Baiyun City.

Su Hanju, the king of Zhennan, sat in a wide and comfortable carriage, the curtain of the car was opened, looking at Baiyun City, which was rapidly retreating in his field of vision, and the people kneeling on both sides of the road, tears appeared in his sunken eyes, revealing deep reluctance.

He has lived in Baiyun City for decades, and it is no exaggeration to say that every street and alley in Baiyun City has his footprints, and almost all the people of Baiyun City have greeted him.

Although his ancestor of the Su family was indeed in Taihu City, the Su family was first beheaded by the whole family, and later because of the rebellion of the eldest brother Su Hanlin, the nine clans of the Su family were killed by the officials of the previous dynasty, so the Su family has no relatives in Taihu City.

In addition, he was only eight years old when the Su family suffered the disaster, and he didn't have much memory of Taihu City, and the only thing he had was consumed in the later Southern and Northern Wars.

Later, the eldest brother Su Hanlin ascended the throne and became the emperor, moved the tombs of the ancestors of the Su family to the imperial tomb, and welcomed the spiritual seats into the Taimiao Temple to worship, so that the last bit of involvement between the Su family and Taihu City was broken.

Taihu City is a miserable place for him where his family is ruined, and what is left for him is cold except fear, so when the eldest brother Su Hanlin named him the king of Zhennan and asked him to choose a fief, he would rather pick a random Baiyun City than go to Taihu City.

However, this trip was proposed by him on his own initiative, on the grounds that the fallen leaves returned to their roots, and no one could dissuade them from the heavy four words.

But in his heart, where is the fallen leaves returning to their roots, it is clearly exiled to a different place, dying of old age.

Baiyun City is where his roots are located.

But if he doesn't go, he can't go, he has no face to face the fathers and villagers of Baiyun City, and he has no words to face the unjust souls who died in vain!

His heart was weak, he was ashamed, he was sad, he was remorseful, he was angry, he was sad—

These days and nights of torment have made his waist, which has been straight all his life, collapsed.

"Master, if you don't want to, we won't leave. ”

"You have lived in Baiyun City for most of your life, there are your footprints in the streets and alleys, the people in the city know you, and this is also your root. ”

The old servant saw the tears rolling in Su Han's eyes, his expression was extremely sad, and he couldn't help but comfort him.

"How can the old man still have the face to stay in Baiyun City, how can he have the face to face the unjust souls who died in vain? How can he have the face to face the sincere and kind smiles and eyes of the people of Baiyun City?" Su Han raised his lips and trembled, his trembling voice full of guilt and sadness.

"My lord, alas!" the old servant couldn't cry or laugh, "Natural disasters and wars**, how can manpower stop it." To put it mildly, to put it mildly, you are already a person buried in the loess, but you still carry a knife on your horse and fight for the people of the south, you have done a good enough. ”

He thought that Su Hanju was feeling guilty and sad for the common people who died in drought and war.

But I heard Su Han raise his voice and said in a low voice: "The old man heard all the secret conversations between you and Brother Zhang that night. ”

The old servant sighed in his heart when he heard this, and his expression suddenly stiffened.

A few days ago, Butcher Zhang came back from Yancheng and stayed in Zhennan Wangfu for a night.

After waiting for Su Hanju to fall asleep that night, Butcher Zhang found him, summoned him into the room, and asked him if he knew about Su Yang's evil deeds, and he looked dazed.

After listening to Butcher Zhang's narration, he was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat, and then he knew the evil side of Su Yang, the son of the world.

To tell the truth, if he wasn't an old servant of the Zhennan Palace, who had sworn to be loyal to Su Hanju and the Zhennan Palace, he would definitely break into the Zhennan Mansion at night, behead Su Yang under the sword, and do the right thing for the sky.

He hated this kind of scum who raised his butcher's knife at the unarmed people, and he longed to skin and tear off all these scum scum, because his hometown was also slaughtered in this way, and only five of the more than 600 people in the village were lucky enough to pick up a dog's life, and he was one of them.

He felt like he deserved to die.

It's not because he can't kill Su Yang to do the right thing for heaven, but because he actually has a murderous intent towards Zhang Xiaopaw and Niu Dawa, he wants to strangle this matter and never let the world know, so that he can't hurt the old prince.

The same disease but no sympathy.

He felt that he had lost his conscience.

Fortunately, Butcher Zhang's cold and piercing eyes extinguished his impulsive and stupid thoughts.

Butcher Zhang's suggestion was to find a secluded place with beautiful scenery, so that Su Hanju could enjoy his old age in peace, and beg for a man who was out of sight and out of mind.

As for Su Yang, he must pay for the crimes he committed.

He could tell from Butcher Zhang's angry eyes that if Su Yang was not Su Hanju's son, he would be the first to kill Su Yang.

Therefore, when he heard Su Han raise "I heard it all" at this time, the old servant was startled and suddenly understood.

No wonder Su Hanju has been sullen these days, no wonder he looks a lot older these days, no wonder he suddenly proposed to return to his roots, and his attitude was tough and resolute, it turned out that he heard it.

Obviously, this upright old man who has been upright all his life has suffered from the torment of conscience and the torture of his soul in just a few days, and in the end, his integrity and justice have been defeated by selfishness, and he can't do justice to kill his relatives.

So he grew old, because he was proud of his life, and his back was hunched.

"Master, you-hey-" The old servant was sad and burst into tears, he didn't dare to imagine how Su Hanju had endured these days, and he couldn't imagine what kind of guilt and anxiety he was bearing on his conscience at this moment?

With this departure, he was destined to never straighten his waist and enter the coffin again.

He will not be able to guarantee the end of his life.

The old servant felt that it was too cruel and cruel to such an old man who had lived all his life for the country and the people, for justice in his heart, and for the conscience of heaven and earth!

Su Hanju took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "The old man has asked someone to ask, in the past ten years, in the boundary between Baiyun City and Haoyue City, a total of sixty-three villages have been slaughtered, but the murderer was not found, and finally the crime was pressed on the head of the bandit and robber. ”

"Ah?!" The old servant was startled, because Butcher Zhang only told him about a village in Liujia Village, and at this moment, when he heard the number spit out of Su Han's mouth, he was so frightened that the hairs on his whole body stood up.

"You say, should Su Yang die?!" Su Han raised his angry eyes and asked loudly.

"Damn it!"

"Death is hard to forgive!" the old servant gritted his teeth.

"Yes, he deserves to die!" Su Han raised his teeth and clenched his fists, but after a while, he smiled bitterly, slapped himself more than ten times, and said bitterly: "But the old man can't do it, he can't do it!"

"All the old man can do is to be like a turtle, shrink his head into the shell of the turtle, and don't know what to do. ”

"I, Su Han, stand up to the sky, my husband I will be a shrinking turtle when I am coming!"

"Ridiculous! pathetic! pitiful! even more hateful!"

The old servant looked at Su Han's pained appearance, and his heart ached, and he hurriedly comforted: "It was Su Yang's crime that was committed by that evil animal, not your fault, master." ”

"The son is not the godfather's fault, the old man can't escape the involvement!" Su Han shook his head and sighed.

There was silence in the car.

After a while, Su Han said weakly: "The old man brought Qian'er and Mo'er with him on this trip, saying that he wanted them to spend time with me, but in fact, he stayed by his side and educated well, two good children, they can't be led to the evil path by that evil animal." ”

Qian'er and Mo'er are Su Yang's two sons, the eldest is four years old and the younger is only two years old.

"It can be regarded as protecting an heir for the evil animal, don't be sought revenge by someone at that time, and kill the whole door. ”

"According to what Brother Zhang said, the old man still has three or five years to live. Junko, listen up. Su Hanju suddenly commanded the old servant.

"Sir, please speak. The old servant responded.

"After the old man died, you quietly returned to Baiyun City, if the evil animal is still alive and still doing evil, you help the old man kill him!

"Obey the master's orders. "The old servant commanded.

Su Han shook his head and smiled, and said, "It's hard for you, follow the old man to endure your anger, otherwise you would have killed the evil animal with one slap and acted for the heavens." ”

"The old servant didn't dare. ”

"Hehe, you've been with me all your life, can you not know what kind of temper the old man has?"

......

Baiyun City, Zhennan Palace.

"Little prince, before leaving, the old man left a letter and instructed the old servant to pass it on to you. An old servant knocked on the door of Su Yang's study, holding a letter in his hand.

"Come in. Su Yang responded when he heard this, and stood up curiously, walked out from behind the desk, and took two steps forward.

took out the letter paper from the envelope, unfolded it and swept it in front of his eyes, Su Yang was so frightened that his eyes widened, and cold sweat broke out at that time.

I saw seven big words written on the letterhead: Evil animal, you deserve to die!

The word is undoubtedly the word of his father Su Hanju.

Su Yang held the letter paper in both hands, trembling with fright, cold sweat dripping, and his body was like washing in just a few breaths.

He rushed out of the study and listened attentively, but he didn't hear the sound of his father Su Hanju's motorcade returning home, and he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

Immediately, he seemed to be annoyed by his own horror, crumpled the letter paper into a ball three or two, and suddenly put his five fingers together, and the thin scraps of paper floated out from his fingers, and sprinkled them into the air with a casual hand, and sneered: "Sure enough, a toothless tiger will lose the domineering spirit of a king! Isn't it just a few pariahs? To die under Xiao Wang's iron horseman, it is a glorious sacrifice for the powerful knights trained for the empire, and it is their honor and luck!"

"Ying Long hasn't come back for so long to regain his sight, I'm afraid it's already more than lucky. ”

"If I knew this was the case, I should have pinched you two to death!"

......

Syllable!

In Su Mou's room, Qin Xinru was slapped on the ground by him, his body exuded a terrifying and tyrannical aura, his eyes stared gloomily at Qin Xinru and asked again: "I'll ask you one last time, why did you kill Bai Jiabai ruthlessly?" After thinking about it, if there is a half-word lie, it is okay not to mention the marriage between us." ”

Qin Xinru was lying on the cold ground, covering her hot cheek with one hand, looking at Su Mou with a face full of disbelief, she couldn't imagine that Su Mou would actually beat her to death, and he would be so ruthless.

But her grievances and anger all turned into panic as Su Mou pressed her again.
