Shangguan Xueyu also gritted her teeth and hated him, and replied fiercely: "Yes, not only my mother, but also my father, and dozens of unjust souls of the Pei family who were killed by you asked me to come to you for revenge!" ”

She bowed her head, her eyes were firm, her words were upright, and she even had a little bit of Chu Yunxi's lonely courage just now: "Shengshang, the courtier's original surname is Pei, and she is the youngest daughter of Pei Lidu, the former Yizhou County Shou Pei, when my whole family was robbed and killed on the way to my father's debasement, I escaped because I was pressed under the nursing mother, and the courtier's daughter was only four years old that year. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 When the courtiers saw their parents and relatives lying in a pool of blood, they were so frightened that they hid in a barren forest not far away, and the prime minister happened to be passing by at that time, so he adopted me as a stepfather.

Since then, he has ordered me to read and write all day long, and has made me study and practice hard in a notebook, and I am diligent every day, and treat me like a daughter. I was also very grateful to him at that time, and I honored him as if he were my own father.

"In those years, we were on the move, moving a lot, and our lives were quite difficult. Until I was seven years old, we settled in Chang'an, suddenly one day I found that he seemed to have made a fortune overnight, began to eat fine clothes, at first I didn't care, thought he was in Chang'an business and made a fortune, so I lived with peace of mind. He was quite busy at that time, and sometimes came back to visit me only once in a few months, but he sent someone to take care of my diet and daily life, and I was not allowed to go out every day, but I had to write some strange official articles according to the font I had practiced and according to the opinions he had drawn up.

"After another four years, when I was thirteen years old, he suddenly sent someone to bring me close to the Chu Mansion, and then I learned that he had become an important minister of the court. From then on, I became his secret ghostwriter, and I wrote all his correspondence at his behest to him. I gradually felt strange, and I also interrogated him privately, and he only said that his right hand had been injured, and the handwriting was quite ugly, and he was afraid that he would be rejected by the saints, but I was angry that I believed his lie at that time, and confessed that the thief was his father and was used by him. If I hadn't happened to meet my mother on the streets of Chang'an four years ago, I would have been deceived by her for the rest of my life. My mother was not my biological mother, but my father's second concubine, and after my mother gave birth to me, she died of postpartum stroke, and my mother had no children and no daughters, so she gave me to her to raise. At the time of the accident that day, she was coveted by the thieves who robbed and killed my family because of her beautiful appearance. In order to save her life, she coaxed him to leave her life with clever words, and was forced to commit herself to him to save her life. Then she was left alone in the wilderness and fortunately passed by a caravan to help, so she remarried as a merchant woman, and a few years later came to Chang'an with her husband to deliver goods, and it was then that I met her.

"I asked her what it looked like to kill my whole family's enemies, so that my father-in-law could avenge my whole family, who knew that she actually told my father-in-law's appearance, I thought she was lying, but I thought she had never seen my father-in-law, and how could she create this rumor, I doubted in my heart, so I took her to secretly go to the prime minister when he left the house, and looked, she saw the prime minister's face changed, and she insisted that he was the dog thief who killed my whole family back then." As she spoke, her face was full of tears, and her eyes were full of tears. When the rest of the crowd heard such a tragic story, they couldn't help but sympathize with them.

"I was infinitely frightened in my heart, thinking about the cause and effect, and I gradually understood that I had been deceived by him, and even confessed that I was a thief and a father. I wanted to run away from the house and go with my mother, so I made an appointment with her. I don't want him to be the first to discover my mother's whereabouts and kill her family. I carefully avoided his interrogation, and every day I was terrified, and I did not dare to speak to anyone. I passed another year, one day there was a tall man broke into the study of the house, I thought it was an assassin, frightened to hide under the bed, he was impatient in the study rummaging things, was discovered by the prime minister, rushed into the house, after the two fought a thrilling fight, the prime minister suddenly used a cold arrow, shot the man to the point, before the man died, he asked him if he killed Chu Yilian, and took his place. The prime minister actually nodded and admitted, and killed him with a knife! ”

Chu Yunxi knew that the person she said was Bai Biao, and her heart was sad, and tears fell.

Later, the prime minister fumbled on the wall of the study, and a secret room was opened underground, and the body was dragged in. That was the first time I learned that there was an underground secret room hidden in the study of the Prime Minister's Mansion. At this point, the little girl fully understood what the prime minister had done over the years, and also understood the meaning of him letting the little girl ghostwrite the knife. The little girl wanted to avenge the whole family day and night, but because she was a weak woman, he did not fully trust the little girl, he was very wary of me, and it was difficult to plead to the saint, and the little girl was unwilling to die to see the enemy at ease. The little girl originally thought that the prime minister just happened to look similar to Lord Chu Yilian Chu, and it was only on that day that she realized that the two were twin brothers, and he really lost his conscience by acting like this. Today's public trial in the palace, the courtiers are willing to be the testimony of Miss Chu, what the courtiers said is true, please make the decision for my two parents and avenge their grievances! After saying that, she couldn't stop crying.

Chu Yunxi saw that she was crying fiercely, and couldn't help but move to her side, and gently soothed her violently shaking back with his hand.

The prime minister watched coldly, and listened to her as if he were listening to a joke, and sneered several times: "It's over, the story is quite good." It's a pity that it's all nonsense, I made something out of nothing, I actually hurt your parents? Keep your dog's eyes wide open, Lao Tzu ......"

Shangguan Xueyu dragged her crying voice and said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, in fact, if you want to confirm the true identity of the prime minister, it is very simple. Just present a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and let the prime minister write a few strokes, and compare the handwriting of Lord Chu Yilian in the past, and everything will be revealed. Chu Yilian big character inheritance willow style school, and there is some innovation, is a famous calligrapher of this dynasty, the font is very distinctive. If others don't practice for a few years, they won't be able to learn. ”

Seeing this situation, the prime minister simply said: "Your Majesty has a hand attack today, and he can't use his pen." ”

Shangguan Xueyu retorted and asked, "Can't you use the pen, or don't you dare to use the pen?" Or is it because you don't know how to write at all? ”

The prime minister was forced to be anxious, and he didn't care about maintaining the elegant image of the past, so he raised his hand to beat her, and scolded uncleanly: "You pickled goods, raised by a bitch, dare to frame you Lao Tzu?!" ”

Li Chengxun saw that he looked like a dog jumping off the wall in a hurry, and he understood eight or nine points in his heart, and said angrily: "The prime minister is not crazy, take it down left and right!" ”

The guards on both sides pulled out steel knives and walked towards the prime minister, who had sharp eyes and skillfully subdued one of the guards, snatched the steel knife from his hand, and knocked the other person unconscious. Zhao Yili shouted in astonishment: "Come on, escort!" ”

The prime minister's eyes swept over Zhao Yili like an arrow, and then stared gloomily at the emperor on the throne. Li Chengxun always stood still, looking at him without fear, Zhao Yili saw the killing intent in his eyes, regardless of his safety, he blocked in front of the emperor, and still kept shouting.

Chu Yunxi also reacted quickly, pulled out his soft sword, pulled up Shangguan Xueyu, and protected it behind him.

The other officials in the palace were also in a mess, and Jing Guogong kicked the two weak-legged civil officials and scolded: "Useless things, cowardice." He rushed to the door, opened the door, and shouted for the driver.

It's a pity that the prime minister was forced to have no way out, and he made a temporary move, only the emperor's forbidden army outside the palace gate, and without his response, he was now full of thoughts only to kill the emperor.

However, it was not the leader of the forbidden army who first poured into the hall, but Lord Shen Zhongshen, who was crying, and as soon as he rushed into the palace, he lay on the ground and cried loudly: "Your Majesty, the minister is guilty, the minister is guilty!" The minister should not be afraid of the prime minister's intimidation, and has concealed the evidence of the prime minister's crimes over the years. But some of these important evidence of disobedience have been recorded in the hope that one day they will be handed over to the Holy One in person. Today, the prime minister's sin is clearly revealed, and please don't hesitate to order the killing. As he spoke, he pulled out from his bosom a stack of ledger-like things, presumably the evidence of the crime he had spoken.

The prime minister looked around at the people who were closest to him, but now they have become deadly weapons one by one. He laughed madly, a strand of hair flew on his forehead, the anger in his eyes rose sharply, he screamed, and pounced on Shen Zhong instead: "Your mother, you want to kill Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu will kill you first!" ”

A large number of forbidden troops finally surrounded the main hall, and the forbidden army was divided into two groups, the first wave surrounded the prime minister and separated the other officials behind him, and the second wave passed quickly behind these soldiers and jumped up the imperial steps, and the forbidden army spread out in a group like a human shield in front of Li Chengxun. These soldiers are stubborn, well-trained, and can cope with the formation without any confusion.

In the end, Shi Jiaheng crossed the door with a knife.

In fact, he had wanted to come in for a long time, and when he saw Liu Yun walking with Shangguan Xueyu during his inspection, he suddenly felt panicked in his heart, and he didn't know what was going on, could it be that Lord Liu was bewitched by Shangguan Xueyu and was confused. He really regretted handing her over to Lord Liu under house arrest, he knew that this female city was quite deep and very dangerous, but he lacked the heart of prevention. He wanted to make a sound to stop him, but he could only watch the two of them enter the hall one after the other.

He had been waiting outside anxiously, expecting and fearing that his name would come out of the temple. But he couldn't wait for the Holy Summons. When the door of the temple opened, and a loud shout rushed out of the door, and the content was actually "escort", he immediately gave an order, and the forbidden army rushed into the hall, but the situation inside had already been turned upside down.

The prime minister was easily disintegrated, and everyone rebelled and separated, and now hundreds of knives were aimed at all parts of his body, and everyone was gearing up, as if they were seeing prey.

Shen Zhong's body trembled like chaff and hid behind Shi Jiaheng, and as soon as he pushed it into the crowd of forbidden soldiers next to him, three soldiers immediately protected him.

"Prime Minister, I advise you to give up resistance, disarm and surrender." Shi Jiaheng, who has always been polite and demeanor, still respectfully calls him an adult on such an occasion.

He took two steps forward, the eyes of the prime minister like a trapped beast were glowing with blood-red fierce light, and he tilted his head and smiled hideously: "Lao Tzu has killed countless people, and he has never surrendered in his life!" Lao Tzu does things by himself! Unlike you, it's obviously not much cleaner than Lao Tzu, and you're still here as a loyal and good general, ahh ”

He turned his head to Shangguan Xueyu behind Chu Yunxi, and pouted exaggeratedly, like a fierce outlaw: "You don't know whose seed it is?" Lao Tzu has been deceived by you for so many years! She never dreamed that someone would make such a shuddering expression on her father's elegant face, and she felt disgusting without fear.

Shangguan Xueyu looked back coldly, her eyes full of hatred.

He laughed and shouted: "Lao Tzu is quite aggrieved, chewing words every day, lying repeatedly, looking at the face of the old emperor, and those bullshit monks and Taoists, saying what kind of unjust soul to ask for life, making Lao Tzu worry all day long." Lao Tzu has long been fucking fed up, today Lao Tzu has to kill a happy person, even if he goes down to the underworld, he will cut down and kill all those little ghosts! Ha ha. ”

He laughed gloomily, and suddenly the blade turned sharply downward, and slashed the thighs of the four guards, several of them screamed in pain and fell, and the tightly blocked human wall was suddenly split a gap, and he jumped in, and entered the ranks of several civil officials who had come to observe, and slashed and killed.

Seeing this, Chu Yunxi violently pushed Shangguan Xueyu away, and greeted her with a sword, Liu Yun grabbed her in time and pulled her behind him. Shi Jiaheng also rushed to reinforce him, and the two joined forces to fight him, and other forbidden soldiers also rushed up. He cunningly ran in the direction where the other innocent officials had retreated, and with a move of his eagle claws locked his throat, he grabbed the throat of Liu Yun, who had been standing on the outermost side and covering the escape of other officials.

Li Chengxun, who was watching the battle from the throne, also stood up in a hurry at this time and shouted: "Don't hurt Liu Qing's life!" ”

Before his smug laughter could reach the outside of the hall, a steel knife plunged into his chest from behind. He looked down at the bloody tip of the knife passing through his chest,

The laugh of no one in his eyes leaked through the crack in his chest, as if he were a punctured ball. The ambitions, sins, desires, and killings that swelled throughout his life were like blood pouring out of his body, and finally turned into filthy black water on the ground.

He slowly let go of Liu Yun, and with a look of despair, he turned his head to look at the woman who had pierced his chest.

With a strong belief in resolutely completing the goal, Shangguan Xueyu did not retreat in the slightest fear and dazedness after giving him a knife, but stood there bravely and tenaciously. With her unshakable determination and will, she stabbed the knife at the last moment and fulfilled her first dream with her own hands.

Before he died, he used his last strength to slap her and push her out for several feet. Shi Jiaheng jumped over to catch her, she spurted out a mouthful of blood and fell into his arms. And he was lying on the ground, his limbs constricted, and after convulsions for a while, his eyes were wide open, as if he couldn't bat at death, and he kept staring at the direction where Shangguan Xueyu fell to the ground.

The appearance of his death was really terrifying, Chu Yunxi turned his head, thinking of his parents, uncle and eldest brother's family who were killed by him, there was no joy of revenge in his heart, but endless grief.

The strong desire for revenge is nothing but the intense excitement after taking the five stones, and when the strength of the medicine has passed, all that remains is more nihilistic sorrow, the deceased is gone, and the saddest thing is that even if these murderers who caused the tragedy are killed, those who were killed by him can only be buried in the cold ground after all, and making up and apologizing are just a consolation for their conscience for those who are alive.

The dead murderer was carried down, the wounded officers and soldiers were sent to the side hall for rest and treatment, and the Praetorian Guards left the hall in an orderly manner under the orders of the emperor and the same command of Shi Jiaheng. He handed over the injured and unconscious Shangguan Xueyu to several chamberlains to take to heal, and after quietly exchanging information with Chu Yunxi, he left the scene one after another with the permission of the emperor and other officials. And Chu Yunxi stood in the hall awkwardly, not knowing whether to go with everyone or wait for the emperor's arrangement.

She took two steps and then retreated, and gradually she was left in the temple. Li Chengxun sat on the throne dejectedly, holding his forehead and coughing, Zhao Yili was waiting for him with care beside him, she felt that staying here any longer would disturb his rest, so she raised her feet and walked towards the door.

"Come here, girl!" The sound behind her startled Chu Yunxi, she stopped suddenly, and the hall was quiet and only the sound of him coughing, she thought she had auditory hallucinations, and took two steps forward.

"Girl, you come up, come up the royal steps." This time she heard clearly, it was really Li Chengxun calling her, she hung her head, respectfully walked up the imperial steps, and came to the emperor's side.

Lee Seung-hoon stretched out his wrinkled old hand and took her arm. She shivered, and subconsciously looked up to hide, but saw him looking at her with teary eyes. She was stunned for a while, then felt rude and hurriedly bowed her head.

He coughed more and more violently, choking on tears, and Zhao Yili kept holding his back. It took him a while to calm down, and he asked in a dumb voice, "Are you Chu Yilian's youngest daughter?" ”

When Chu Yunxi heard his questioning, he knew that he wanted to check his identity, and replied, "Yes." ”

"How old are you? What is the month of birth? ”

"The little girl is eighteen years old this year, and her birthday is the tenth day of the ninth month." Chu Yunxi replied again.

"Oh, that's right." Li Chengxun thought for a long time, and suddenly asked with concern like a loving father: "Just now, I saw that you fought bravely against thieves, and you were very courageous, which is really rare." Are you hurt? ”

Chu Yunxi shook his head and said, "Thank Your Majesty for your care, the people are not injured. ”

Li Chengxun sighed and said, "It must be your parents' spirit in heaven who blessed you." Your parents died unjustly, and there are also some of them who are not. ”

He held her cold hand in his hand, and she could feel the temperature of his palm slightly cold. She was bold and looked up at him, there was a slight remorse in his eyes, and there was a strong sadness in his tone: "You are a good child, brave and filial, your parents know everything, you must be old and happy." ”

He touched her hair like a father, his eyes were a little dazed and sloppy, and he muttered, "You are still alive, they can rest assured." But I am still tormented by longing and remorse! His voice grew lower until he passed out on the golden dragon chair.
