Because of "Yun Qi wantonly beating the minister in the court", Yinzhen symbolically reprimanded the tenth elder brother in the court, and deducted his three months' salary. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info He has to do this, after all, so many ministers are watching, he can't not punish him at all, but Brother Ten is still angry enough, he said to Yinzhen that Sijiepan also injured his ninth brother, why didn't Yinzhen deduct Sijiepan's money?

Yin Zhen lifted his eyelids: "Your ninth brother won't let me buckle it." As for why, you ask him to go. ”

The tenth elder brother was even more depressed, he said to the ninth elder brother, could it be that Sjepan bullied them like this?

"It was I who talked too much that day." Brother Jiu said, "I turned over his old accounts and annoyed him, and the responsibility lies with me." ”

Sjepana was unable to come to the court for several days, and it is said that he was bruised and swollen from the punch of the tenth elder brother, and he could not go out. Brother Jiu acted like no one else, and even asked Wu Qiqi to send his home-cooked dishes, as well as fresh and sweet peaches, to Sijiepan's mansion, and to make amends.

As a result, Si Jiepan's side did not accept the reparation at all, and all the vegetables and fruits sent were thrown out by the housekeeper, and the housekeeper Lao Wan of Si Jiepan snorted angrily and pointed at Wu Qiqi and said: "Go back and tell you the ninth master, our master will not even touch a single hair of his hair!" ”

Wu Qiqi was very angry, he felt that his master had gone to make amends, which was already putting down his body and condescending to his dignity. His own master is the son of the first emperor! The emperor's own brother today! What is Hesjepan? I don't know where a fourth-grade official came from, and he actually dared to play tricks in front of the ninth elder brother!

Brother Jiu himself was not very angry, he thought about it at home for a day or two, and instead of looking for Si Jie Pan again, he turned his head and entered the palace.

That day was not the day of the court, but Brother Jiu didn't care so much, he went straight to the palace, and only said that there was important business to see the emperor, and the eunuchs didn't dare to stop it, so they had to quickly report to Yinzhen.

Yin Zhen was chatting with a bureaucrat on official business, and when he heard the eunuch say that Brother Jiu had something urgent to see the emperor, he didn't let the official leave, so he called Brother Jiu to meet him.

Not long after, Brother Jiu hurriedly entered the room, and as soon as he opened the curtain, he said: "Fourth brother......"

It turned out that there was another person in the room, a middle-aged bureaucrat, thin and thin, with a very unfamiliar face - in fact, Brother Jiu had been isolated from officialdom for ten years, and he was not familiar with today's officials at all.

He was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Who is this?" ”

Yin Zhen pointed at the man: "Tian Wenjing." ”

Tian Wenjing hurriedly got up, and Brother Jiu suddenly realized: "Oh, you are the obsessive-compulsive disorder." ”

After speaking, he hurriedly said to Yinzhen: "The minister came to ask for an order." ”

Yin Zhen frowned: "Don't talk nonsense, people are not obsessive-compulsive disorder - what are you asking for?" ”

Brother Jiu smiled, and told Yinzhen about the things that Wu Qiqi sent two days ago, which were thrown out by Si Jiepan.

"I thought about it, if he sent it again, he would have to throw it away, if it was a request for a decree, and the emperor ordered it to be sent, he would not be able to throw it away."

Yin Zhen was helpless: "If he throws it out, don't send it in." ”

"How's that going to work?" Brother Jiu said confidently, "I'm not someone who retreats so easily. ”

Yin Zhen thought about it and said, in this way, he wrote a note.

Brother Jiu was overjoyed: "That's better, with a handful of instructions, he has to open the door." ”

Yin Zhen took the pen, just wrote two words and stopped, he suddenly turned his head to look at Brother Jiu: "Old Jiu, is it ...... Are you bent? ”

Tian Wenjing was listening to it with great interest, but he couldn't understand this word.

Brother Jiu was asked by him and looked up at the sky: "Honestly...... No. ”

Yin Zhen frowned more and more, and he sighed: "Then why are you doing this?" You force him to remember, you're still straight, what are you making him remember? ”

Brother Jiu smiled: "Whether he wants to get up or not, it doesn't matter if I am bent or straight, Fourth Brother, what he has lost is not me, but his normal life for decades." I don't want him to end his life like this with a belly full of hatred. ”

Yin Zhen didn't say anything more, lowered his head and quickly wrote the edict and handed it to Brother Jiu.

When Brother Jiu left, he looked at Tian Wenjing, who was confused, and comforted: "Don't worry, you are not obsessive-compulsive, Lao Jiu is talking nonsense, you are just a little ...... Well, neurosis. ”

So that afternoon, Brother Jiu carried a food box and went to Sjepan's house in person.

This time, it was he who came to the door in person, and he showed Yinzhen's edict again, and the housekeeper Lao Wan didn't dare to stop it, so he hurriedly asked the servant to report to Si Jiepan, and he brought the ninth elder brother into the front hall again.

After a while, Sjepan, who had changed his clothes, came out from behind.

As soon as Brother Jiu saw him, he sneered.

Sjepan's face is still swollen, and the right eye circle is blue, like a panda, which was punched by the tenth elder brother - in order to protect the ninth elder brother, the tenth elder brother has unremittingly strengthened his training in the past ten years, in addition to wrestling and learning boxing, you can imagine how powerful this punch is.

Sjepan didn't smile, he stood coldly far away from Brother Jiu, just looking at him and not saying a kind word.

Not even a slave came up to serve tea.

Brother Jiu sighed: "Your place is really a famous product of Tianjin-Gou Buli." The guests came, and they brought the emperor's edict, but they didn't even have to drink a bowl of tea. ”

Sjepan stared at him and suddenly asked, "What did the emperor ask you to send me?" ”

Brother Jiu opened the food box and took out the big porcelain bowl, he smiled and said, "The borscht I made, come, you can taste it, see if it suits your appetite." ”

Sjepan stared at him strangely: "Poison in the soup? ”

Brother Nine almost squirted!

"You have brains and no brains! How can you ask people if there is poison in the soup?! ”

"If it's non-toxic, why did the emperor ask the ninth master to bring me soup?" Sjepan had a flat face, and the expression on his face was clean, "Isn't it here to kill the criminal?" ”

Brother Nine frowned: "Sjiepan, this is yours, isn't it." I know you hate me, and you've been wary of me, but when did my fourth brother feel sorry for you? Did he ignore you and push you into the fire pit? ”

As soon as he said this, Sjepan's face became ashamed, he lowered his head, and said in a dumb voice: "It's the official's mistake." ”

Brother Jiu breathed a sigh of relief at this time: "I don't mean anything else, you can't eat borscht here, and no one will make this for you, so I specially made a bowl for you." ”

Seeing that Sjepan was still not moving, he simply took a silver soup spoon from the food box, scooped up a spoonful of himself, and drank it.

Wiping his mouth, Brother Jiu looked at him: "Now you are relieved, right?" ”

Sjepan slowly walked to the table, looked down at the borscht in the bowl, and finally said, "What the hell do you want to do?" ”

"Send you a bowl of hot soup to drink, that's it." Brother Jiu pointed to the bowl, "And it may not be too hot now." ”

Sjepan raised his head, stared at Brother Jiu firmly, and said word by word: "I'm asking, what is your purpose?" ”

Brother Jiu couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"I don't have any terrible purpose. I'm just trying to ease the relationship. ”

"De-escalation?" Sjepan's voice sounded a little weird.

Brother Nine grinned: "Sjiepan, let's stop being enemies of each other, okay?" Even if you can't remember the past......"

Sjepan interrupted him suddenly, "The person who can't remember the past is you, Ninth Master, have you forgotten what you did to me and my cat?" ”

Brother Nine was embarrassed, he wanted to say how could it be your cat? Pu/Jing was raised by me.

“…… You skinned Pu/Jing alive, put it in such a large sandalwood box, and asked someone to send it to King Yong's mansion as a heavy gift, so that Prince Yong opened the box in public without any defense, and got his hands and face full of cat blood. ”

Brother Jiu's breathing has stagnated!

These details, Yin Zhen didn't tell him, of course Yin Zhen wouldn't tell him so much, he only went through them very roughly, and Brother Jiu himself didn't think about it...... He didn't even know that Pu/Jing Cat had been skinned.

Sjepan leaned over and stared at Brother Jiu's eyes, that burning gaze as if he wanted to see his heart.

"You tied me up, locked me up in your dungeon, hung me up for a day and a night, you asked someone to burn me with a soldering iron, and you pulled out three of my nails—"

As he spoke, Sjepan raised his right hand and stretched out the back of his hand in front of Brother Jiu.

This is the first time that Brother Jiu has clearly seen the scars on Si Jiepan's hands, the index finger, middle finger and ring finger of his right hand have no nails, the lost part has already been scarred, and the vertical and horizontal twisted scars are entrenched in the place where smooth nails should have grown, which looks shocking!

"It's visible." Sjepan stared at him, "There are also scars on Xia Guan's body, all on his chest, back and legs - Ninth Master, do you need Xia Guan to take off his clothes and give you insight?" Or have you really forgotten about it? ”

Brother Jiu felt that he couldn't breathe, and a strange sound came out of his throat, like an ominous grinding sound made by bones when they were forced to squeeze.

He felt that he was almost going to faint, but Brother Jiu tried his best to hold on, as if it took a lot of effort, to squeeze out a trace of voice: "It was my mistake, Sjepan, I ...... at the beginning"

"Is one mistake enough?" Sjepan sneered, he lowered his arm, "Although my memory is not good, it is still slightly better than you, the Ninth Master." Even if I don't care about that, the cat that died, it will definitely care. I'm slightly luckier than it, and that's because I have the emperor's protection, otherwise the end will be equally worrying. Now, for some reason, you suddenly changed your temper and came running to me with hot soup and said, 'Let's reconcile, give up the old hatred' - who wants to give up the past with you?! ”

This sound slammed into Brother Jiu's chest like a knife!

After a long time, he stood up, shook his body, and said hoarsely, "...... I'm sorry. ”

Then, Brother Jiu lowered his head and left without a sound.

When he returned home that day, Brother Jiu sat alone in the dark shadow of the study for a long time, motionless.

He silently recalled what Sjepan had just said, and there seemed to be the sharpest knife in his chest, slowly slashing at it, and hot blood gushed out.

He remembered the expression of the blonde man, he could see the glint of despair and anger in Sjepan's blue eyes, like a fierce flame that burned when splashed with hot oil, of course he hated him, no one could ignore the perpetrator after such abuse.

Now, it was not at all surprising that Stepan had become what he is now, when Stepan grasped the only rope of hatred in his despair, and relied on it to crawl out of the dark hell little by little.

Now that he had returned, he ran to him in a daze and begged him for forgiveness and told him to let go of the rope...... How can people be willing!

Brother Jiu was thinking blankly, at this time, a small figure walked into the room, and walked to him, he looked up and saw that it was Hongxi.

The boy looked at him with some concern: "Amma......"

Brother Jiu smiled hard, he reached out and touched the boy's head: "Hongxi, until now, Ama knows how many mistakes he has made in the past ten years. (To be continued.) )
