"Under the magnolia plant in my backyard, there is a secret room in which I hide a corpse that resembles me. At that time, I will confess that he is the real Hu Yingming. Also, I've discussed with my wife, and she'll identify me as a pretend......"

Xia Xiangwei was stunned, and said a little mockingly: "Have you thought about it?" When you do this, after death you will let someone else's body go to your grave and enjoy the incense of your descendants......"

"For traitors, how can there be any graves and incense?" Hu Yingming smiled lonely: "Many people say that the Qing Dynasty will be able to become powerful in the future. However, the pain and suffering of those who turn their backs on their homeland and country ...... I have tasted it, but I cannot let it taste it again. ”

Xia Xiangwei looked at him with disdain and said, "If you know this, why bother in the first place? ”

"You're still young, you don't understand." Hu Yingming sighed: "When you are an official of the Chu Dynasty, you are also the boundary of Jizhen...... It's like wearing a pair of white shoes and walking down a road full of mud, it's too hard to keep it from getting mud......"

The trace of disdain in Xia Xiangwei's eyes still did not fade, and he shook his head with a sneer.

"The old man made a mistake, and there is no need to explain more. Remember my lesson, and don't go my way. If you vote for Jiannu, you will live like a dog......"

Hu Yingming said, got up with some difficulty, and turned to walk.

"Why?" Xia Xiangwei asked, "Why are you talking to me about this?" You could have killed me. ”

"This road, the old man has gone too far, and he can't go back if he wants to, so let's stop......"

~~

After meeting with a group of maritime merchants and arranging a bunch of trivial things, Wang Xiao turned around and saw Xia Xiangwei walking towards him again.

"Lord Hou......"

"Here you go again." Wang Xiao breathed a sigh of helplessness, turned his head to look around, and said, "Come with me." ”

He led Xia Xiangwei onto He Wan's boat, sat down in the cabin, and said, "Say it." ”

Xia Xiangwei arched his hand and said, "Master Hou, the student found out...... Lord Hu is a fake by Jiannu. ”

"Fake?" Wang Xiao tapped his fingers lightly on the teacup and said with a smile: "He asked you to say that?" ”

"Student ......"

Xia Xiangwei has been speechless.

Wang Xiao glanced at him, beckoned a personal guard over, and ordered, "Go, bring Hu Yingming over." ”

Hu Yingming only thought that Xia Xiangwei had already confessed, so he performed in front of Wang Xiao.

I have to say that he acted extremely well, and he was subtle. Even Xia Xiangwei was a little stunned, almost thinking that he was really pretending to be Hu Yingming.

But when Hu Yingming looked up and saw Wang Xiao's mocking expression, he couldn't help but be stunned.

"Master Hu continues to act." Wang smiled.

"Don't call Lao Tzu any 'Lord Hu', Lao Tzu is fed up with this broken name, Lao Tzu's name is Aletu......"

Later, the voice became lower.

Wang Xiao chuckled and took a sip of tea.

Xia Xiangwei reminded in a low voice: "Stop acting." ”

Hu Yingming had no choice but to sigh, knelt on the ground and said, "When did Master Hou see it?" ”

"I don't see it." Wang smiled: "You acted very well, but it's a pity...... When I was in the capital, I knew that Hu Yingming, the prefect of Yongping, had taken refuge in Jiannu. ”

"How is that possible?" Hu Yingming muttered.

Wang Xiao closed his eyes, and suddenly thought of Gu Huifang's last play.

"Originally, I was going to use you to play a counter-trick, but I've changed my mind now." Wang smiled lightly and said, "Presumably there is no need to be so troublesome, you should be able to tell me directly...... Who have rebelled in Jizhen? ”

Hu Yingming's originally desperate expression regained some expectations.

Wang smiled and said: "I can pull you into the water, presumably among these people, some of them have a high status...... Go ahead. ”

"Xiaguan said, what can Hou Ye give to Xiaguan?"

Wang smiled and said slowly: "I can let you ...... Finally, I'll let you act in a play. ”

'Last show' - he once said this sentence to Gu Huifang, but he didn't expect that in just half a month, he used this sentence to pry open other people's mouths.

"Master Xie." Hu Yingming kowtowed and said: "Everything has to start with a banquet in March last year, the other party's status is extremely high, and the lower officials dare not go ......"

Xia Xiangwei retreated from the cabin, and when he raised his eyes, he could see that Hu Jingshi was treating the wounded soldiers.

The sea breeze blew, and Xia Xiangwei's eyes were blown red in an instant......

~~

Two hours later.

"Impossible!" Hu Jingshi exclaimed in disbelief: "You're not my father? How can it be?! ”

Hu Yingming sneered: "Son of a bitch, you are also worthy of being Lao Tzu's son?" Haha, your pig-like father was killed by Lao Tzu a long time ago......"

Hu Jingshi looked at the other party's hideous face, his whole heart trembled, and tears fell uncontrollably in his eyes.

"Impossible, impossible!"

Hu Jingshi took two more steps forward, looking at Hu Yingming's face and his half-cut hair......

Suddenly, Hu Yingming struggled, stretched out his head and bit under Hu Jingshi's neck!

This bite was extremely ferocious, and blood gushed out of Hu Jingshi's skin in an instant.

"Ahh Daddy......"

"Loosen up!" The surrounding soldiers rushed forward and hit Hu Yingming in the face.

Several heavy blows knocked out all his teeth, and the soldiers finally separated the two and held Hu Yingming back up.

"Hahaha, bitch, go down and be your father......" Hu Yingming laughed wildly, his eyes full of madness.

And another soldier struck him on the back.

"Dead slave! He also dared to commit murder. ”

"Kill this Jiannu Xiaozuo."

"Don't kill you. A few of you, take him to find out the body of Fuzun! ”

……

Hu Jingshi followed behind the crowd with a hollow face, and was taken into the carriage by Xia Xiangwei.

He didn't know what he was thinking, and he didn't pay attention to the blood coming from his neck, just muttering, "He's not my father?" How could it be ......"

~~

Hufu, magnolia flowers have long withered.

The secret chamber under the flowerbed was dug up, and a decomposing corpse was presented to everyone.

"Sir!" Mrs. Hu wept and said, "It's really a master...... Sky! The traitor also said that the wrench on his finger had fallen off......"

"Master......"

Tears suddenly fell from Hu Jingshi's eyes.

He watched as the rotting corpse was draped in a white cloth, and as his mother leaned over it and fainted crying.

"Daddy!"

The next moment, Hu Yingming looked up to the sky and smiled.

"Hahaha, a bunch of idiots, Lao Tzu has fooled you all year, haha, laugh at me to death......"

Hu Jingshi's eyes burst out with monstrous anger.

He suddenly turned around and snatched the long knife from the waist of a soldier, stabbed it angrily, and stabbed it into Hu Yingming's chest!

"Thief! You give back my father's life! ”

After Hu Yingming shouted this, the tears in his eyes flowed out again.

He wanted to cut again, but was hugged by Xia Xiangwei.

"Don't ...... that"

But I heard Hu Yingming say angrily: "Get out!" ”

This sentence seems to be said to Hu Jingshi.

Xia Xiangwei knew that Hu Yingming was letting himself go.

……

With another slash, Hu Yingming slowly fell.

In a blur, he took one last look at Hu Jingshi.

Then, it went dark.

"Good boy...... The Father has finally protected the right path in your heart...... Live well, live like a human ......"

~~

On this day, the three young people who had just come into contact with 'ideals and aspirations' ushered in a huge test before they took a step.

Sun Zhixin wasted an arm.

Xia Xiangwei experienced the choice between 'loyalty' and 'righteousness'.

Hu Jingshi lost his father......

All this seems to be the punishment of fate for their devotion to their ideals.

It's like someone who flicks an ant far away and tells it, "Live hard, you only deserve to live like this." ”

……

But that night,

Someone solemnly told them: "The truth is tortuous, but the future is bright......

"Master Hou, do you believe it?"

"Don't ask, ask is to believe ......"
