Fang Yichen was furious when he heard this, the scene of the last failed prison robbery seemed to be right in front of him, and he couldn't help but exclaim: "Don't we care about this matter, watching Liu Duo die without doing anything?" ”

Sun Yueling was about to speak, but Zhang Pengyong said to Fang Yichen: "There is another important reason why I came, and that is for you, Lord Fang." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

"For me?" Fang Yichen's brows moved, and he didn't have a good breath, "What do you mean by this?" ”

Zhang Pengyong took out a letter from his arms, handed it to him, and said: "This is the letter written by Liu Duo before he was transferred to prison, ask me to pass it on to you, and ask me to instruct you to do what the letter says!" ”

Fang Yichen hurriedly took the letter, and after opening it, he couldn't help but sigh at the sky, and his face became gray.

Sun Yueling was surprised: "What did you say in the letter?" ”

As if he had lost his soul, Fang Yichen handed the letter to him and muttered, "See for yourself." ”

Sun Yueling took the letterhead, spread it out and took a look, only to see Liu Duo writing on it: "Duo is a piece of blood sausage, upright and jealous, and resentful." However, the three edicts will be unfortunate, and the younger brother should not lose his anger because of Duo, and do useless things, resulting in unjustified disasters, if so, Duo Jiuquan should have no regrets. Sun Gongxiao knows righteousness and reason, and hopes that Er will follow what he does, and if he is not forced to rebel, then Duo will die as he deserves! Yi Duo alone abolished the power to castrate the elbow and armpit, and there is no regret for the death of the Duo. Now it is gone, and it is not allowed to see the public again, but a few acres of thin industry, which is expressed as a righteous rent, to help the poor, and to give my nephew the capital to study, and become my first thought. ”

Sun Yueling's heart was even more painful after reading it, he couldn't imagine that Liu Duo was so deeply aware of the righteousness, not only asked them not to do futile things anymore, but also persuaded Fang Yichen not to use this to force himself, what a broad-minded person. It can also be seen that he and Fang Yichen really have a good relationship, knowing his temperament, and knowing that Fang Yichen must be difficult to let go, so he personally wrote a letter to persuade him.

Sun Yueling sighed deeply, handed the letter to Zhang Pengyong and said, "You can also take a look." ”

Zhang Pengyong looked at it, and sighed: "As soon as Liu Gong learned the news of Wei Zhongxian's personal instructions, he had already given up the idea of survival, and asked me to pass on a message to you to take good care of his wife and daughter......

Sun Yueling nodded and said, "That's a certainty, we will take good care of his wife and little daughter." Then he said, "Liu Gongzhen is a righteous person, and when he arrives in such a situation, he still does not forget to donate his family's land property to support those poor scholars, although he can rest assured, my Sun Yueling will definitely do what he wants!" ”

He said this to Fang Yichen, and sure enough, Fang Yichen's face was already as gray as ash at this time, and he sat on the round stool without saying a word, just like the two of them before.

After a few people sighed, Fang Yichen finally opened his mouth, but his eyes looked out the window, as if he was talking to himself: "What are you going to do next?" ”

There is no doubt that this sentence was said to Sun Yueling, and his ability to ask such a question obviously indicates that he has given up the idea of robbing the prison, and intends to follow Sun Yueling's wishes.

Sun Yueling took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Our first target next is Cui Chengxiu, and we must do everything to prevent him from entering the cabinet." At the same time, I am going to pay a visit to the cabinet minister Huang Liji, and now it is time to be on the same side as him. ”

Fang Yichen's long sword was returned to the sheath, he stood up, slowly walked out, and said, "In this case, if you have a place to find me, send someone to say it." "Heading outside.

Sun Yueling's heart was relieved, until this moment, Fang Yichen really agreed with his way of doing things, and was willing to listen to his orders, his heart was touched, and he blurted out: "Brother Fang, thank you!" ”

Fang Yichen didn't look back, and said lightly: "Thank you, why be polite between you and me!" The figure didn't stop, and it disappeared out of the door in an instant.

In fact, when he came to persuade this time, he also lacked confidence in his heart, otherwise he would not have been entangled with Sun Yueling and Yan Nantian. The failure of various actions in the past few years and the death of countless brothers have long overwhelmed him, forcing Sun Yueling to go to the prison with him, and it is the unwilling outbreak of chivalry in his heart, until Zhang Pengyong showed him Liu Duo's suicide note, and his last self-esteem as a top master was completely released, sweeping away the long-standing haze in his heart.

Sun Yueling looked at the direction in which he disappeared in a daze, and muttered: "Fang Yichen, he is a real chivalrous man, I, Sun Yueling, are also like this!" ”

……

Nanxunfang, the residence of the cabinet minister Ding Shaoshi.

Ever since he confronted Wei Zhongxian in person, he knew that the end would be in danger. But this time he let it go, although the Donglin Party was not good, but at least it was in line with the rules of officialdom, but Wei Zhongxian, he did whatever he wanted, covered the sky with one hand, acted with joy and anger in his heart, and completely ignored the laws and discipline of the court, which made him more and more dissatisfied in his heart, even if he desperately lost his official position and abandoned his post, he had to advise him like this.

Wei Zhongxian was really a "sincere person", and soon asked Cui Chengxiu to launch the imperial history to join him, so he was deposed from the position of cabinet minister and returned to his position.

Ding Shaoshi had already expected this ending, in fact, he had been up and down in the sea for half his life, and he was tired of the right and wrong in the court, and he had already had the idea of retreating, and now that he was deposed and left Beijing, he didn't feel much loss in his heart.

These days, he has sold the property of Jingshi to others, has signed the contract of sale, and asked the people in the house to organize and load all the furniture, ready to leave the city where he has lived for decades early tomorrow morning.

Just as he was standing in the courtyard, looking at the old locust tree in front of him whose leaves began to turn slightly yellow, he suddenly heard the sound of hurried footsteps outside the door, and then several people broke in.

Ding Shaoshi looked at it and was surprised in his heart, two of these people were dressed in eunuch clothes, and the others were dressed differently, not like people in the palace.

"Ding Shaoshi takes the order!" An old eunuch stepped forward and held a bunch of yellow silk in his hand high.

Ding Shaoshi was shocked, he was already a person who had left his post, why did he still have a holy decree coming? Could it be that the emperor has changed his mind and intends to keep him? Or does the emperor can't bear to let him go to work when he is old, and he has a compliment before leaving?

At this time, some families in the house saw that something was happening, and they came to watch.

Ding Shaoshi led a group of family members to kneel on the ground, kowtowed, and said, "Minister Ding Shaoshi takes the order." The old eunuch said: "There is an edict on the sage, the cabinet minister Ding Shaoshi is about to leave Beijing, and he will give a pot of imperial immortal wine in the palace to see off the elder!" As he spoke, the little eunuch behind him stepped forward with a black wooden plate, on which was placed a porcelain vase, covered with white juan.

Ding Shaoshi's body trembled when he heard this, and he almost collapsed to the ground - where is this to keep him, it is clearly to give poisoned wine, intending to kill him.

"Elder Ding Ge still hasn't accepted the order." The old eunuch looked at Ding Shaoshi, who was panicked, and said coldly.

Ding Shaoshi calmed down, raised his head, and said word by word: "The old man is loyal to the country and helps the community, why does the emperor want to put the old minister to death?" ”

The old eunuch snorted coldly, and said in a strange manner: "Our family doesn't know this, our family only knows that the king wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die; The Father wants the Son to die, and the Son has to die. Ding Shaoshi, will you accept this holy decree? ”

Ding Shaoshi's heart was dripping blood, and he slowly stood up from the bluestone slab, his tone became indifferent, and he said: "The king regards the minister as a sibling, and the minister regards the king as a heart; The king regards the minister as a mustard, and the minister regards the king as an enemy. Ding Shaoshi is innocent and innocent, how could the emperor put his old minister to death for no reason? ”

Seeing that he was unwilling to accept the order, the old eunuch shouted: "Ding Shaoshi, do you dare to resist the order?" ”

Ding Shaoshi's old face turned from blue to red, and he said angrily: "This is not what the emperor meant, this must be Wei Eunuch's edict to bully the king, please forgive me for not being able to obey the edict." ”

The corners of the old eunuch's mouth showed a trace of disdain, and said: "If you are disobedient for nine thousand years, even the princes and ministers will die." Wasn't you very majestic in front of Gonggong Wei a few days ago, today I see how rampant you can be? With that, with a wave of his hand, a person turned out behind him, picked up the small porcelain bottle held by the little eunuch, and walked towards Ding Shaoshi step by step.

Ding Shaoshi saw that this person's face was very gloomy, and he couldn't help but shout: "Who are you?" What do you want to do? ”

The man didn't answer, but the old eunuch behind him sneered and said, "Cui Butang had already guessed that you would not obey the edict, so he invited Li Yexun, the protector of the Citi Society, to come, today you don't want to die, you have to die, don't want to leave alive!" ”

Ding Shaoshi's family Ding was furious, for them, the master's life was their life, not to mention that this was Wei Zhongxian's pretentiousness, and they scolded in their mouths and protected Ding Shaoshi. Among them, there were many people who knew martial arts, and a few of them rushed out, hit Li Yexun, and shouted: "Master, go quickly, leave it to us here." ”

Li Yexun deceived himself and grabbed it, and attacked the circle formed by those family members, his figure moved and jumped, only to hear the sound of screams in his ears, these family members were beaten and bruised, and no one could stop his way.

Li Yexun rushed to Ding Shaoshi's side, grabbed him by the collar with his right hand, and stared at him with a pair of cold eyes.

Ding Shaoshi was stared at by this life-seeking ghost-like gaze, only to feel a chill all over his body, and couldn't help but sob: "You...... What do you want to do? ”

Li Yexun pulled a sneer at the corner of his mouth and said, "I want your life!" With that, he reached up with his right hand and pinched his jaw, while at the same time lifting the small porcelain bottle with his left hand, unscrewing the cap and pouring the bottle of poisoned wine down his throat.

Ding Shaoshi wanted to resist, but the sharp pain in his jaw made him weak and unable to struggle, so he could only let the poisonous wine inject into his throat.

Li Yexun threw away the porcelain vase, slapped his luck at the throat, and then floated away, looking at him coldly.

Ding Shaoshi's poisonous wine entered his throat, and because he was choking, he began to cough violently, but it soon turned into his hands on his abdomen, and he slowly collapsed to the ground, and the cough out of his mouth was no longer turbid saliva, but black blood.

Ding Shaoshi's eyes were blood-red, his face was hideous and distorted, he stretched out his hand and pointed at Li Yexun, and said, "You...... You ......" Before he finished speaking, his whole body spasmed, and he lay on the ground motionless with a "poof".

When the old eunuch saw that he was dead, he smiled and said, "Now that the errand has been completed, our family can return to the palace to resume their lives." He arched his hand at Li Yexun and said, "Thanks to Protector Li, otherwise this matter is really a bit tricky." ”

Li Yexun smiled faintly, waved his hand and said, "Some little things, why worry about it." ”

"In this way, our family will take their leave first!" The old eunuch said politely, and went with the little eunuch.

After Li Yexun waited for him to leave, Shi Shiran left the Ding family's mansion, walked towards an alley after going out, stopped in front of a small sedan chair parked in the alley, and said, "The matter is done." ”

A soft voice came from the sedan chair, which sounded a little unbearable, and said, "Ding Shaoshi is dead?" ”

Li Yexun said: "That's nature, I made a move, can he still live?" ”

The person in the sedan chair was silent when he heard this, and sighed after a while: "Why does Grandpa Wei have to be like this, just drive him out of the capital......

Li Yexun said with a smile: "This person is nine thousand years old in public, how can Father-in-law Wei let him live." Then he changed his head and said, "Why did the eldest lady give birth to a bodhisattva's heart, this is not quite like the words that come out of your mouth?" ”

The person in the sedan chair sighed lightly when he heard this, and said slowly: "Why, in your eyes, I am a ruthless and vicious person?" ”

Li Yexun smiled and said, "Why should the eldest lady be humble, if you hadn't helped Gonggong Wei expel Donglin Shoufu back then, Gonggong Wei would have been able to do his bidding?" If it weren't for the fall of Donglin's courtiers, how could we Citigroup have the glory we have today? ”

The person in the sedan chair smiled bitterly and said, "It seems that you really know me very well." ”

Li Yexun smiled evilly and said, "Not only do I know you, but now I am willing to let you drive, can't you feel it?" ”

The man in the sedan chair said lightly: "You are poor, and I will not be blessed with your handsome favor." ”

Li Yexun laughed, no longer answered, waved his hand to order someone to carry it, and the three of them and a sedan chair soon disappeared into the depths of the alley.
