Chapter 209
Mu Andao's words made Mu Qing's heart sink.
After all, he still deducted this mess on his head and reported the Mu family's forged bandits, which may be a merit when it is placed on others, but if it is placed on Mu Qing, it will tarnish his reputation after all.
Righteous killing relatives, this will make the saint like it, but Mu Qing himself doesn't like it.
Perhaps it was the intricate expression on Mu Qing's face that made Mu Andao see it, the middle-aged man sat down on the stone bench, and then stretched out his hand and motioned for Mu Qing to sit down as well.
Mu Qing nodded at Mu Andao, and then sat down opposite him.
There are a lot of things in the prison, and there is even a pot of hot tea on the table. The outside of the teapot has a thick layer of cloth with cotton wool to keep the teapot warm.
Mu Qing picked up the teapot, filled the only teacup on the table, and put it in front of Mu Andao: "If I say it has nothing to do with me, can you believe it?" ”
Mu Andao took the teacup, took a sip, and then said lightly: "Believe, why don't you believe it." ”
Mu Qing didn't think he was telling the truth, and looked at Mu Andao's still shrewd eyes: "If you don't believe it, why ask me." ”
"Because whether it's true or not, everyone will know that you did it, because the top made you do it, and I think it's fake, so what?" Mu Andao laughed, as if he was laughing at his pathetic, and seemed to be laughing at Mu Qing's naivety.
Mu Qing looked at Mu Andao, and didn't continue after all. Because what Mu Andao said was right, no matter what, he couldn't run away from this reputation.
"Seeing that your relationship with Huang Hui is extraordinary, let's talk about it, how are you now?" Mu Andao looked at Mu Qing's robe, which was no different from ordinary people, and asked.
"I was in the middle of my studies, won the champion, and now I am in the Guozijian office." Mu Qing used one sentence, a faint eighteen words, to encapsulate his previous life.
When Mu Andao heard this, his face flashed with relief. He twisted his beard, and his hoarse voice was much calmer because of the moisturization of the tea: "You have a chance, just like what you wrote outside the wall of my house, you have become an official, but I have become a prisoner." ”
Mu Qing only felt a little bitter at the moment, and he pursed his lips: "I don't want you to do anything." ”
Mu Andao just smiled: "Okay, don't say those stupid things, individuals have their own lives, and I naturally have to bear what I do." ”
"No, I can't let you die, if you die, one day someone will use this to accuse me." Mu Qing told the truth in the end, and he didn't want to deceive this person anymore.
He values blood because of his new life, and he wants to save the Mu family, not only because he wants to repay his kindness, but also because he doesn't want them to have an accident.
On top of the official career, be cautious, Mu Qing can't take risks.
Mu Andao obviously didn't expect Mu Qing to say this, maybe it was Mu Qing's gentle and kind smile that gave Mu Andao a delusion, but now, he knows a lot clearly: "You and your mother are different after all." ”
"So she was forced to die, but I was still alive." Mu Qing was still smiling, gentle as a spring breeze.
Mu Andao instantly lost his willingness to talk because of these words, and he sat there with a gray face.
Mu Qing wanted to say something more to him, but he didn't say anything after all.
Standing up, Mu Qing picked up the black cloak: "I will let you get out of here, leave alive, and don't die on that road." Mu Qing said, his voice was very soft, as if the wind could float away, "But from now on, I have nothing to do with the Mu family, and my mother's tablet will never return to the Mu family ancestral hall." I hope you still have an ancestral hall. ”
Mu Andao didn't speak, because the Mu family has nothing left now, and the ancestral hall is ...... It's gone.
Mu Qing put on the cloak, and then put on the hood: "Someone will come to tell you what to do, if you cooperate, you will live, if you don't want to, the walls here are strong enough, and I won't stop you." ”
Mu Andao finally had anger in his eyes: "Your surname is Mu after all." ”
"You should be glad that my surname is Mu," Mu Qing's voice was cold for the first time, "If my surname was something else, you would have been cut off a long time ago, why did you live until now." ”
For a long time after Mu Qing left, Mu Andao didn't get up.
He closed his eyes, and when he got older, he always remembered many things from the past, especially recently, he always dreamed of his little sister, the gentle and kind girl chasing after him, talking and laughing, but eventually he would become a thin and pale dead man who would never laugh again.
Did you do something wrong in the first place? Mu Andao asked himself, but in the end he still didn't know.
He stood up, held the table in a trance, and then walked to the edge of the bed and sat down.
The sound of thin sobs echoed in the cell, and Tang was still lying there, as if he was asleep, but her voice rang intermittently in Mu Andao's ears: "I shouldn't have coaxed him out in the first place, right?" Now that he has gained power, where is our benefit. ”
Mu Andao wanted to open his mouth to comfort, after all, his wife followed him through thick and thin, and never gave up.
But when he opened his mouth, he couldn't say anything, and the hand that was stretched out to reassure him fell.
Tang loved him, but forced the little sister to take the last step. The Tang clan protected him, but they blew Mu Qing out of the Mu Mansion without telling him.
What did they do wrong? When his little sister looked out the window longingly, the man in white, he should have stopped her.
After all, it's all wrong.
===============================================================================================
Mu Qing asked Anu to tie a bamboo tube containing a small piece of letter paper to the pigeon's leg and let it fly, while he himself sat in the inner room, his eyes closed and he didn't say a word.
When Anu returned, the house was pitch black, which frightened Annu. He took a candle and lit it, held the candlestick, and saw Mu Qing sitting on a chair with his eyes closed.
Annu cautiously walked over and called softly, "Master? ”
Mu Qing opened his eyes slightly, but instead of looking at Annu, his eyes focused on the wooden sign in front of him: "Annu, do you say that my mother will be proud of me?" ”
Annu followed his gaze and saw Mu Yan's tablet. The jujube red wooden plaque stood there, the surface already smooth, apparently having been stroked countless times.
"Maybe she will be proud, I got a small three yuan, and a big three yuan, and now I am in the fourth grade, and I have become a close minister of the Son of Heaven, and the future is definitely bright if there is no accident." Mu Qing curled the corners of his mouth, but there was not the slightest smile in his eyes, "But I sometimes think that if I didn't know Li Qianyu and didn't see the emperor's family, I stayed in the Mu Mansion to avoid the Qian family, and worked hard to make a name, I'm afraid she would be the happiest." ”
Anu didn't know many things, but he had been with Mu Qing for a long time, and he had long known when he needed to be quiet and when he needed relief.
At this moment, Anu shut up and didn't speak, just put down the candlestick, and then walked behind Mu Qing and gently pressed the man's temple with her soft fingers.
Mu Qing relaxed his shoulders, his eyes looked at the tablet, and his voice murmured, as if he was convincing others and himself: "Mu family, after all, that's all I can help her." ”
"Master, it's late at night, go to sleep." Anu said softly.
"Is the prince back?" Mu Qing asked.
An Nu nodded, and then found that Mu Qing couldn't see his movements, so he said: "I'm back, I've been staying in the backyard to practice martial arts since I came back at noon, and I'm afraid I'm going to rest now." ”
Mu Qing tugged at the corners of his mouth, reached out and patted Annu's wrist, and only got up after Annu put down his hand: "Brother Li is afraid that there is no rest, I should go and see him, I am afraid that some words must be made clear." ”
Annu was a little worried, after all, Mu Qing was not in such a good mood when he looked at it. The young man ran to the back of the door and took a cloak and draped it on Mu Qing: "Master, be smoother." ”
Mu Qing smiled and nodded: "Your master I know, I will never provoke his anger," Mu Qing's voice paused, "At least not until I succeed." ”
Succeed? What kind of hands?
Annu couldn't figure it out, and before he could ask, Mu Qing had already opened the door and drowned his figure in the vast night.
