Chapter 240: Making Wedding Clothes for Others
Tian Mi sat on the edge of the bed, holding a bowl of black medicinal soup in her hand, holding a spoon, blowing gently, and then sending it to someone.
Although this spoon is small and exquisite, it is actually quite in the way, Xuan Heng looked at it, and really felt that it was better to take the bowl and drink it directly, but because of the person who took the spoon, he still did not protest and drank it willingly.
He didn't know that Tian Mi actually did it on purpose.
He is a big man who practices martial arts, so he naturally drinks it straightforwardly, but the medicine, if he has to feed it little by little, it will be more bitter, right? That's right, she's just doing evil.
While she was doing badly, she confessed frankly: "Fang Cai, I have been to the Lin family. ”
Xuan Heng was not surprised, there was a shallow smile in his dark eyes, but his tone was a little regretful, and he comforted her: "The family dispute of the Lin family was not formed overnight, if I remember correctly, this matter, not only the chief soldier has warned Lin Weiya, but you and I have also said it more than once." In this way, the Lin family has come to this point, and they are really worry-free. ”
Tian Mi naturally remembered that she remembered that before leaving, the general adult also specially asked Lin Weiya if he needed to go to the Lin family, Lin Weiya categorically refused, and later, Xuan Heng also said that if the Lin family did this step, his family's family affairs were not only about his family, but also about the political and business circles and even the military.
In this way, it seems inevitable.
Tian Mi lowered her head and said "um" softly.
"Don't worry." Xuan Heng leaned against the head of the bed and pulled her small and soft hand to cover it. Reassured: "Lin Weiya is a willing person, the Lin family tied up the two sons in exchange for the safety of the family, and provided money, weapons, and materials for the Changguo war against Dongchu, he did his best for the saint, and the saint was not harsh on him." And with his ability, as long as his life is still there, he can make a comeback. ”
For such a major crime of rebellion, Xuan Heng has no right to convict even if he is Qin Shi, and can only submit it to Dali Temple.
Other words. Ruan Tiande and the Lin family and others. They will all be sent to Kyoto, to be decided by Dali Temple and the emperor.
Although the emperor was in the frontier, after learning about the righteousness of the Lin family from Xuanheng's letter, he would definitely write to inform the Dali Temple of the verdict.
"Speaking of Ruan Tiande." Tian Mi put down the dishes and chopsticks. While wiping your hands. While thinking about it, he said: "When he was in Ruan's Mansion, he said that he knew a secret of Dongchu, I thought. Ah Qian was about to visit him in prison, so he asked him to ask together, but he didn't know if he could ask anything. ’
She actually wanted to say that Ah Qian should not be bullied.
She clearly remembered the words that Ruan Tiande scolded Ah Qian when he was arrested.
Xuan Heng was silent for a moment, and there was a hint of worry in his dark eyes.
Ah Qian still has feelings for Ruan Tiande, but Ruan Tiande hates Ah Qian.
But even so, Ah Qian is still going, this is what he has to do, even if he worries, it is useless.
Xuan Heng didn't say anything more, and after he finished drinking the medicine, he asked Tian Mi to go to a cabinet and take out a box.
Tian Mi saw that the box was very familiar, and thought about it, isn't this the one he gave her the Holy Decree costume?
Tian Mi took it to Xuan Heng's side, Xuan Heng opened it, and when she saw it, it was really a holy decree.
This guy isn't a Divine Decree professional, is he? The emperor's holy decree, how can he say that he will take it?
"When I went to Qingzhou, the Holy One gave me three blank holy decrees, and this is the last one." Xuan Heng didn't take out the bright yellow scroll, he let it lie down, he just watched, his eyes were clear, his starry eyes were smiling, the corners of his lips were hooked, and he had a feeling that he had finally gotten what he wanted.
Tian Mi blinked, a little puzzled why he was smiling like this. Moreover, now that the biggest cancer in Dezhuang has been pulled out, what is the use of him taking out this holy decree?
"Mi'er, I want to invite the dignitaries of Dezhuang to come over before I leave." When he said this, the corners of his pale red lips had the usual smile, his dark eyes were bright and shining, and his tone was light and soft.
But for some reason, Tian Mi felt that this smile was quite meaningful, no, it should be said, ill-intentioned.
Especially listening to his shallow continuation: "During this period of time, thanks to the help of all the nobles in Dezhuang, I was able to complete the task smoothly, and before leaving, I have to thank you." ”
Help? Are you kidding? At the beginning, he was hunted down by them and had to hide in the house of an orphan and widow. Yes, thanks? Why did she feel goosebumps on her arms? It's good not to shave a layer of skin on them, and thank you.
Although Tian Mi felt that what someone said was a little too high-sounding, she was still very kind and did not expose it, but asked: "So what?" ”
"So, I'm going to wait two days for my injuries to heal, so I'll set up a Zhuangzi and invite them to a banquet, so that I can thank them." He raised the soft hand in his hand and kissed it, his eyebrows and eyes were crooked, he smiled very harmlessly, looked at her with a smile and said, "Just ask Mi'er to write a post in my name and invite all the dignitaries." ”
Tian Mi looked at someone who could be called a smile, and really felt that he was a weasel giving a New Year's greeting to a chicken, and he didn't have a good heart.
Sure enough, he took her hand, fiddled with it gently, and said gracefully: "The nobles of Dezhuang, whether they are officials or businessmen, are mostly involved with Ruan Tiande. ”
He paused, and said in a very relaxed tone: "Now, it is the time to purge the remnants of sin, what's the matter, you have to take action, right?" ”
"However, their numbers are too large, and if I do it too hard, the consequences will be tragic and not worth it." His long fingers propped up his jaw, and after thinking about it as if distressed, he bent the corners of his mouth slightly, and said a little proudly: "It's better to let them turn their debts to the court into compensation for the people." ”
After that, he sighed, and there was a faint light on his warm and smooth face, and his expression was complete.
Although Tian Mi didn't know why he showed such an expression, since he said so, then she did it.
She looked at the bright yellow in the brocade box, and couldn't help but feel a little interested-what did it want to help Xuanheng achieve in the end?
Tian Mi didn't have the heart to ask more, she checked the auspicious days, and then began to prepare for the invitation.
The government prison, the deepest and darkest cell in the prison, today. There's a new guest again.
Soon after the new guests moved in, there were visitors, and the visitors brought sumptuous food and drink.
Ruan Tiande looked at the desks, utensils, and wine and food in front of him that were exactly the same as Ruan's mansion, and couldn't help but smile sarcastically, and said sarcastically: "Is this a decapitated meal?" ”
"It's not." Ah Qian sat cross-legged on the opposite side of the desk, his cold expression softened a little, and he replied in a shallow voice: "The child is afraid that his father-in-law will not be used to eating the food in prison." ”
Ruan Tiande laughed out loud, and suddenly, the entire cell was filled with this shrill laughter, listen to it for a long time. I'm afraid I'm going to run out of energy.
After laughing. He sneered: "Can't get used to prison food? What about prison meals? Back in the palace, it was not uncommon for the master to be unhappy and unable to eat. ”
Having said this, he did not continue. It's not a glorious thing after all. Why speak to traitors?
Oh, yes. Traitor, this traitor.
Ruan Tiande's eyes suddenly became vicious. He was not angry in his heart, he was really not angry, after all, this was his most proud son, but he never thought that he would be the one who caught him in injustice.
He was so unwilling.
"Ah Qian, I really don't understand, I asked myself if I treat you well, why did you bite me instead?" Even if he dies, he will also die to understand.
"The father-in-law treats the child well, and the child remembers it." Ah Qian said, in the dark, his eyes were as clean and clear as a mountain spring.
Ruan Tiande could hear that this was an affirmation, not a rhetorical question or anything else.
Ruan Tiande didn't speak, in the silent cell, there was only the "crackling" sound of the candle flame, and the whole world was as quiet as a vacuum.
It was in the loneliness of this drowning person that the young man's voice was as thin as water, and he said slowly: "Father-in-law, do you still remember, on the day Brother Alu died, I was a little sad, and you comforted me and said, 'Everyone will die', at that time, your tone was so plain. ”
If Ah Qian didn't say it, he would have forgotten about it, and with that child, he would have forgotten it completely.
And at the moment, he didn't feel anything wrong.
Ah Qian looked at his expression, and knew his thoughts, a faint sadness appeared between his cold eyebrows, fleeting, he continued: "The father-in-law doesn't remember, but the child remembers clearly, before Ah Lu, there were many 'Ah Lu', some of them are small and some are big, some are close to me, and some are estranged. ”
He had a lot of children, and he knew very well how these children came to be, but he couldn't remember most of how these children died.
He doesn't remember whether Ah Qian persuaded him or not, but since he doesn't remember, that is, it's useless to persuade him or not, because he doesn't care at all.
He doesn't care, but someone does.
Ah Qian poured a glass of wine, and in the sound of trickling water, he opened his lips lightly and said, "Father-in-law, the child doesn't want to see more 'Ah Lu'." ”
With this, he knelt down, respectfully handed the gold bottle to Ruan Tiande, and said as usual: "Please enjoy it to my father-in-law." ”
Ruan Tiande's hand reached through the iron grate, and when he was about to touch the cup, he slammed it to the ground and said angrily: "How do I know if there is poison in the wine? ”
Ah Qian was not angry, he picked up the wine glass, wiped off the water stains on it, and said unhurriedly: "Father-in-law still wants to go back to the palace, right?" Until then, neither I nor Qin Shi will take your life. ”
Ruan Tiande's face suddenly froze, and he no longer acted strangely.
Ah Qian's guess was right, he really wanted to go back to Kyoto and the palace. He remembered very well that these people had been told from the day they entered the palace that they were born as palace people and died as palace ghosts, which was almost a curse, and they couldn't break free from it no matter how long or long they were.
Ah Qian penetrated his intentions, and what he said could also be used as a threat.
Sure enough, what is respectful and what is grateful, all are fake, this is his purpose!
Ruan Tiande narrowed his eyes, hardened his voice coldly, and said, "How are you going to stay?" ”
"Before, you said that you know a secret of Dongchu." Ah Qian calmly looked at his vicious eyes and asked slowly, "What is the secret?" ”
Ruan Tiande laughed again, this time, he was not laughing at Ah Qian, but laughing at himself.
"Haha......" He laughed so hard that tears came out, and his throat was dry and tight, so that the laughter became thicker and thicker, and fell in this cell, making this cold cell even more gloomy.
"Father-in-law." Ah Qian wanted to help him, he waved his hand and retreated, and said with a breathless smile: "It's ridiculous that I have planned my whole life, but in the end, I made wedding clothes for others, Ah Qian, why are you so lucky?" How can you be so lucky? ”
"You haven't done anything, how can you get something that others can't ask for?" He sat down on the ground, looked up at the dark sky, and roared loudly: "Heaven is not fair, heaven is not fair! ”
After hissing and roaring, he looked at Ah Qian with hatred, looking at the eyes that were always as clean and transparent as clear water, those eyes were too calm, as if they had no desire and no desire, let you go crazy and let you go crazy, and there would be no waves at all.
Laughing and laughing, no one cared about him, he was bored, and he stopped, but about Ah Qian's question, he was scheming and said: "Sue you, I really have nothing to rely on, and at that time, I may really not be able to go to Kyoto." ”
"Ah Qian, let's go, the answer, you will know sooner or later." He turned sideways, his thin body almost completely engulfed in darkness, and after a while, the last sentence came out: "Ah Qian, you should be, don't tell you, it's for your good." ”
The voice in which he said this was a little strange.
And his gesture is to show that he will not say another word.
Ruan Tiande's temper, Ah Qian couldn't understand it anymore, yes, he didn't ask again, knocked three songs, and got up to say goodbye.
In the dark cell, in the dim light, one sat in the cell, and the other walked slowly, back to back, facing the poles.
Ah Qian didn't ask anything useful, Tian Mi and Xuan Heng accepted it calmly, and Tian Mi didn't ask Ruan Tiande about this matter again.
The two didn't say anything, but just investigated the personnel involved with Ruan Tiande.
The actions of the two were not low-key at all, and they almost turned Dezhuang over. Naturally, it caused a sensation in Dezhuang, but this sensation was condensed underwater, and all kinds of speculations were surging, but because the other party did not move, he did not dare to act rashly.
Ruan Tiande was arrested and imprisoned, and the huge Lin family was implicated by it, almost destroying the family.
Think about it, the Lin family is like this, do they still want to be good?
However, the strange thing is that Cha Gui Cha was very polite, and Qin Shi, who was supposed to clean up the remnants, even invited everyone to eat and drink in the Zhuangzi, and said that it was to thank them.
Grateful to them? No kidding, Hongmen Banquet, okay?
But they still have to go to this Hongmen banquet.
Rebellion is a great crime, and since ancient times, those who have been involved in it, no matter how deep or shallow they are involved, would rather kill the wrong person than let it go.
Chin Shiben had the right to arrest them, but he didn't.
They didn't know what he wanted, but whatever he wanted, as long as he didn't want their lives, they could consider it.
In the case, they are outnumbered, even if they are really forced into a desperate situation, they can also fight their way out.
Who's afraid of whom?
So, Xuan Heng held this banquet, probably the most smiling on the surface, and everyone behind the scenes was ready to fight to the death. (To be continued......)
