Chapter 113: The Family Is Broken
It's been a day since I left Ancheng, and I remember that when I let Jiang Ningyu go yesterday, Ling Yun sighed behind my back and said, "I hope your decision won't cause trouble." “
I don't think so, I always feel that Jiang Ningyu is a very affectionate person, and I don't think I will look at the wrong person.
Our destination is the capital of China. Lingyun has always advised me to go to Yizhou, Jiangnan, which is a land of water and rice, extending in all directions. And several of the richest people there are people from "Yunshiji", and the industry also belongs to "Yunshiji". And the state pastor of Yizhou is surnamed Xu Mingzishan, he is Ding Xiang's person, but he deliberately did not get close to Ding Xiang in order to leave this point, so outsiders do not know his relationship with Ding Xiang. Ling Yun said: If we go to Yizhou, we can protect Miss Quanquan, and then plan for the future.
I didn't think about the future. It turns out that the third brother is still there, and I still have the goal given by Ding Xiang, which is to protect the third brother and assist the third brother, if the third brother is interested in this country, I will also help him; But now, the third brother is dead, and I suddenly feel that I have lost my goal, what is the use of the "Yunshi Collection" of these tens of thousands of people? Do you really want to fight to cater to the "eight-character proverb"? I shook my head, I had no desire for it at all.
Now Ding Xiang is on death row in the capital, saying that he will be beheaded on the first day of the next month. Everyone in the Ding clan is now in danger, but the emperor only arrested the people of the Prime Minister's Mansion, but did not punish the nine clans. The eldest mother, second mother and fourth mother in the prime minister's mansion were all arrested, of course, Ding Muyan, who has not yet married, is no exception, and they will all be beheaded on the first day of the new year. But I didn't hear from Du Yuxuan, I thought. Jiang Yunxiu will find a way to save her.
I only asked about this situation, and Ling Yun was a little worried, afraid that I would want to rob the prison. He said very tactfully. The heavenly prison is basically hopeless, and for a person with a high position like Ding Xiang, the law field must be more heavily guarded.
I remember saying these words when we were in the middle of a woods, and the sky was invisible to the towering trees, except for the few rays of sunlight that passed through the trees. You don't feel the weather outside at all. I looked at him, smiled and said to him, "I didn't want to save them, but I must see them again." "Later, Lingyun told me. I laughed so sadly that day.
So, we have been on the road for three consecutive nights from Anseong to now. In addition to wanting to get to the capital earlier, another point is that I don't want to be caught up by Jiang Yunxiu. I don't want to face his "imperial order".
But on the third night. Received a message from the spies. These messages have always been read by Ling Yun, and if it is necessary, he will tell me again, and if it is a trivial matter, he will deal with it directly. So this news was no exception, but after he read it, his face immediately changed, and after glancing at me, he pretended to be calm. Didn't speak. But I saw his performance, and only said it softly. Bring it to me.
Ling Yun turned over and dismounted, knelt down and said, "Miss, let's go to Yizhou." ”
My heart was empty, and I vaguely understood what this sentence meant. But isn't it the first year of junior high school? Ten days left? Why?
I snapped, "Bring it in!" I want to see! ”
Ling Yun's hand trembled a little, but he still handed me the piece of paper. I took a deep breath, opened it and saw it: Ding Xiang killed himself last night, left a book to confess his crimes, and begged the emperor to pardon his family. The emperor allowed it, and the men in his family were official slaves and the women were official maids. But remembering that his three sons sacrificed their lives for the country, did not involve their crimes, and waited for loyalty and bravery, his wife Du Shi pardoned his innocence, and was awarded the second rank of his wife, and gave the original prime minister's mansion as a loyal and brave waiting house.
This short piece of paper is so informative. In this way, dozens of words decided the fate of more than 100 people in the Prime Minister's Mansion. I slowly rubbed the piece of paper off, turned over and dismounted, and said, "Lingyun, order everyone to rest in place, it's time to rest." “
Ling Yun ordered the team to rest in place, these people were worthy of well-trained, and quickly lined up the formation, set up the tent, and lit a fire.
I entered my tent, and suddenly I sat down on the ground. The tears never stopped. I've never felt so alone, although I've always felt alone...... But this feeling is completely different. I used to feel that I was a lonely soul from another time and space, and I didn't know why I came here, except for the third brother who was very good to me, the other people from Dingfu, I never felt that they were my relatives. But now, I know that their fate is uncertain, and I suddenly feel that even Ding Muyan's cynicism is so rare; I suddenly realized that I didn't actually hate my eldest mother, and that all she did was because she was a poor person who had never been loved; The saddest thing is that I found that I remembered so many happy times with Ding Xiang, even if he had a plan, even if he had a plan, but at that time, every minute and every second in my eyes was spoiled. I am only now shocked to realize that Ding Xiang's favorite person has always had me except for the third brother...... I am not attached to the third brother, nor do I exist to protect the third brother, but I am me, his favorite fifth daughter, and the daughter born to him by the woman he loves the most.
It turns out that I have always been a member of the Ding family, even if I have been rejecting, struggling, and neglecting, I am still a member of the Ding family. No matter how hard I fight in that family, I am still a family, even if I am a lonely soul who was killed halfway, I am still a family......
When Ling Yun walked in, I couldn't cry anymore, he was shocked, helped me up, and said, "Miss, what's wrong, don't be sad." “
I buried my head in his arms and choked up, "What should I do, Brother Ling, what should I do?" It turns out that I remember, it turns out that I have never forgotten. It turned out that my father had always loved me, but I deliberately forgot, deliberately ignored, and deliberately distorted ...... But now, he's dead, and those memories are back, so clear, how could I forget...... The third brother is gone, and my father is also gone, they are the dearest people in my world. Me, what else? Brother Ling, my family has already been ruined......"
Ling Yun just hugged me tightly and said slowly, "You don't, you're not, you're ...... You still have 'Yunshiji', you still have ...... I ......"
I didn't say anything more, just buried my head deeper into his arms, and wept.
Ling Yun said after a while: "Let, is it okay to go to Yizhou?" Qingqing, let's go to Yizhou, where the mountains and rivers are beautiful, and you can be unrestrained. I will...... We will always be by Qingqing's side, protect you, and take care of you...... Okay, okay?"
I thought about it, shook my head and said, "No, I'm going to the capital, and I'm going to save other people." “
At this moment, someone outside reported: "Miss Yu, chief, we are surrounded. (To be continued......)
