Although Liu Yingji put Zhong Yu under house arrest, he just didn't ask him to take care of things, didn't let him leave the scope of his business, and didn't dare to treat him slowly in terms of food and clothing, after all, he was also a child of the Zhong family, and he had the status of a chap, so it was better not to offend him too much. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

But even so, Zhong Yu's whole person still looked much haggard than before. This kind of life at the mercy of others, but without the slightest resistance, makes him always unable to lift his spirits these days, and sometimes he is not interested in stepping out of his bedroom for several days.

In fact, in his heart, Zhong Yu had already made up his mind that as soon as he returned to the capital, he would go to the begging bones. After this incident, he already knew very clearly that he did not have the courage to be truly selfless, even so, what was he still clinging to the official position in front of him? As for the consequences that he will bring to his family after he leaves office, he does not think about it at all.

And in the past two days, Zhong Yu's death-like heart has a few different moods, both relieved and a little uneasy, because he has received a definite news from Zhong Yao's mouth that Yang Zhen actually came back alive, and he also brought evidence that was extremely unfavorable to several major families, and found them.

He thought that Yang Zhen would die, but after knowing the news, he only felt a burst of excitement. To be honest, a large part of his cowardly mood before was also due to the feeling that he had to bear responsibility for Yang Zhen's death, and after being saved by him, he was still unable to administer justice for him, which made Zhong Yu feel powerless. Now knowing that he is not dead is naturally a great encouragement to Zhong Yu.

But at the same time, he was at a loss because he felt ashamed of Yang Zhen. Especially when Zhong Yao wanted to ask him to speak in front of Yang Zhen, so that he would no longer use the evidence in his hand to blackmail several great families, Zhong Yu was even more difficult to accept. But in the end, he still nodded and agreed, as for what idea he had in his heart, it was not for Zhong Yao and them to know.

Because he had made an appointment that Yang Zhen would arrive today, Zhong Yu's mood was extremely nervous from the morning. Several times, he couldn't help but want to open the door and go out to have a look, but in the end he endured it, because he knew that he was being watched all the time, and if he let those guys see the clues, it would only make things worse.

But after a morning, Yang Zhen was not seen, which made Zhong Yu both a little disappointed and a little relaxed: "Could it be that something happened in the middle of it, and he can't come?" ”

Just when he didn't know whether he was happy or worried, there was a knock on the door. Listening to this regular knock on the door, Zhong Yu knew that it was the servant who brought the food every day when he arrived, so he put his expression on his face and said goodbye to come in. At the same time, he also picked up a book and looked at it to hide the uneasiness in his heart.

The door was opened, and as usual, two rough men came, and put two large food boxes on the table—although his appetite has always been bad, Liu Yingji is still very good at this, and every meal will bring people sumptuous food, but most of it is wasted.

But unlike before, the two men did not leave immediately after putting down the food box, but came to him. Zhong Yu, who was looking down at the book, raised his head a little strangely, and was about to ask what they wanted to do, but the somewhat impatient words were stuck in his throat, because he saw the person he had always wanted to see, but he didn't dare to see again-Yang Zhen!

Yang Zhen was dressed as a servant, and he was looking at Zhong Yu with a smile at the moment. Seeing him staring at him blankly, he also felt a little emotional, although it was only a few months, but the two of them have experienced too many changes, maybe it will be difficult to return to the mutual trust they had before: "Lord Zhong, don't come unharmed?" ”

"You're really fine, God really has eyes......" It wasn't until he saw Yang Zhen standing in front of him alive and talking that Zhong Yu completely believed what he said before, and he only felt a burst of ecstasy in his heart: "It's good if you can come back, it's good if you come back......"

Seeing the other party's concern, Yang Zhen was also a little moved in his heart: "Thanks to the blessing of the adults, I was finally not killed by those guys." Obviously, God doesn't want me to die in vain, so let me come back to avenge my previous revenge! ”

"Ahem......" Zhong Yao, who came in with him and was also dressed as a servant, couldn't help but cough twice when he heard Yang Zhen say this, and then gave Zhong Yu a look: "We have limited time, you can make a long story short, I'll take care of it outside." As he spoke, he glanced at Zhong Yu deeply again, then went out and closed the door.

Only then did Zhong Yu remember what his family had said to him before, and the joy on his face suddenly disappeared, revealing a wry smile: "Yang Qianhu is really not comparable to ordinary people, which really makes me feel very gratified." ”

Yang Zhen saw that his expression changed, and he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, so he had to reply with a faint wry smile, and then said: "They said that Lord Zhong wanted to see me, so they came in disguise today." I don't know what the adults are looking for me? As he spoke, he glanced at each other with a hint of strangeness in his eyes.

Hearing him say this, Zhong Yu was obviously a little stunned, but then he realized that it was just their excuse. But it doesn't matter, at least I saw Yang Zhen safe today, which is enough. After a moment of silence, Zhong Yu spoke, but did not answer Yang Zhen's question: "Have you really found evidence that can accuse Liu Yingji and several major families of collaborating with the enemy and smuggling and other crimes?" ”

Seeing that he went straight to this topic as soon as he came up, Yang Zhen's gaze was cold: "Could it be that he really wants to persuade me to stop?" Suspicion arose in his heart, and his tone became a lot lighter: "Exactly, what I got was a human witness, and I took the big brain hair that led people to attack us before, as well as the important personnel sent by the Li family to contact the grassland. ”

"Is there such a thing? Yang Qianhu is really capable......" Zhong Yu sighed, but then frowned again: "In that case, then why did you still come to Datong?" Directly bring them back to the capital to accuse Liu Yingji and several major families, why bother? Isn't there anything you want to get out of it? ”

"I have my own plans for this." Because he didn't have the trust in Zhong Yu as before, Yang Zhen couldn't say bluntly that he was afraid that these would not be enough to cure those people's crimes, but he was vague.

But Zhong Yu is also a figure in the officialdom in the end, and he was born in a family, and after the initial confusion, he quickly thought of the reason: "You are really different from ordinary martial artists, and your mind is much more careful than them." Indeed, relying on these evidences alone, it is extremely difficult to uproot several families with deep roots in Shanxi, so you choose to use this as a lever to blackmail them. ”

Yang Zhen listened to his analysis quietly, and there was no emotional fluctuation on his face. But in his heart, he was quickly guessing what Zhong Yu was thinking, whether he was on his own side, or on his own side, or was he neutral and not helping each other?

As if he saw Yang Zhen's thoughts, a wry smile appeared on Zhong Yu's face: "Do you think that I want to see you just to intercede with you for my Zhong family, please raise your noble hand, right?" Seeing Yang Zhen's acquiescence, his wry smile became a little thicker: "But what I want to say is that you are guessing only their thoughts, not mine." Yes, they do want to use me to get you to change your mind, but I don't want to. Whether it is the Li family, the Liu family, or our Zhong family, they have done too many things that violate the national law and discipline for their own interests, and it is time for them to pay some price. And what they did before was too bad, so it makes sense for you to counterattack now. ”

"Huh?" At this time, Yang Zhen was really a little surprised, in his mind, even if Zhong Yu was selfless, he would think of his family. But now it seems that he still miscalculated, Zhong Yu really didn't speak for his family, but stood on his side.

"Do you think it's weird? In fact, I myself wondered why I had such an idea. Perhaps it was the study of conscience that showed me the way. But I'm not a sage after all, and I don't have Mr. Yangming's open-mindedness, so I can't do it if I am asked to deal with my own family, but I won't do anything for the tiger! Zhong Yu's so-called science of conscience is the science of mind created by Wang Yangming, a sage of the previous dynasty, who has dabbled in the capital and has now become a staunch supporter of psychology, so he will stand in front of this kind of major right and wrong.

Yang Zhen didn't know what he was talking about, but it didn't prevent him from being moved in his heart: "My lord...... You really make me admire......"

"Admiration? But I look down on myself. You risked your life to save me from danger that day, but in the end I failed to do what you had asked me to do, and instead handed over the letter. If it weren't for your auspicious nature, and you caught those witnesses, I'm afraid they would be at large again. I'm really useless, it's hard to be loyal to the court, and I can't be righteous to you, and I can't be filial to my Zhong family's father and ancestors, it's really shameless. When he said this, Zhong Yu's face was full of shame and helplessness, and even a trace of confusion.

Only then did Yang Zhen understand how bitter he was in his heart, and he didn't feel a little guilty for a while, he shouldn't have suspected Zhong Yu. He is an upright person, but he is limited by his status, so he has to make compromises. But in the face of some major rights and wrongs, he can still stand on the side of justice, which is a rare gentleman style among people in the world.

"Whatever you want to do, just do it, don't think of me. Go ahead......" Zhong Yu glanced at Yang Zhen deeply again and waved his hand.

Yang Zhen was stunned for a moment, then bent down and bowed deeply to Zhong Yu: "I understand, I won't let the adults down, please take care." So saying, he turned and opened the door, and walked straight out.

The muscles on Zhong Yu's face in the room shook: "I'm sorry, I really can't speak with my conscience!" ”
