Chapter 473: The Broken Window Paper
A sentence of the son of an old man, to Wang Fulin and Xiaobei, naturally has more meaning than on the surface. Geng Xiangxiang and Wang Daokun have a bit of a relationship, but if you really want to talk about it, he has a deeper relationship with Hu Zongxian. Wang Fulin exchanged glances with Xiaobei, and finally saluted calmly and boarded the carriage with his wife. As soon as he and Xiaobei sat down, he only heard Geng Xiang suddenly groan: "Santai Zhong, the big star is dead, Yixia is sad, and Huang Zhi is crying." The ploughman was relieved, and the concubine was relieved. Do you know where this is coming from? ”
Xiaobei only felt that the whole person stiffened all of a sudden, and Wang Fulin reached out and pressed her hand, and said in a deep voice: "I know, it was said when the teacher cried and sacrificed the coffin after sending Hu Butang's coffin back to his hometown. It is said that after the teacher returned to Nanjing, he described the reaction of the people of the southeast when he heard about Hu Butang's death, and he used these words. Because of the teacher's righteous deeds back then, the Hu family in Longchuan Village, Jixi County, Huizhou Prefecture, has always been remembered and called the Hu benefactor. ”
Geng Xiang listened to Wang Fulin's words, but his eyes kept looking at Xiaobei, and he saw that her hands were tightly twisted together, even if Wang Fulin reached out to cover her hand, he still couldn't hide the slightly trembling movements. At this moment, his original suspicion almost turned into conviction, and he suddenly sighed: "Although I lost my official position because I offended Yan Song, and I have recovered in less than a year in the Hu Gong Tent, and I don't know it, but I still remember the scene when Hu Gong hugged his young daughter on his knees and discussed military strategy with others. After so many years, the former childish son has already talked about marriage, if Hu Gongquan knows, he will definitely be gratified. ”
Xiaobei never expected Geng Xiangxiang to pierce this layer of window paper so directly. If it weren't for Wang Fulin, he would have changed his grip. She was afraid that she would not be able to sit still immediately. However. With her head down, she could clearly feel her big tears falling on the back of her hand. She bit her lip tightly, trying to control the sound of her sobs.
"After I got married to Uchiko, I once went to the ancestor of the Hu family in Longchuan Village, Jixi to worship." Wang Fulin replied directly on behalf of Xiaobei, and seeing that Geng Xiang's solemn expression with a bit of reproach eased a lot, he continued, "At the beginning, Hu Gong was unjustly imprisoned, and soon committed suicide. He Dongxu, the former governor of Huizhou, out of personal grudges, arrested the Hu family and imprisoned them, and made the female relatives go to court to humiliate them, so that Hu's wife and daughter died early, which is widely known. However, before the soldiers surrounded the West Garden on the bank of the water, someone may have escaped by luck, but it may not be known. It's a pity that at that time, it was Xu Ge Lao who was the main advocate of liquidation, even if he ran to no avail. ”
Although Wang Fulin said vaguely, Geng Xiangxiang still roughly understood. Although he came from the Taizhou school of the Wang family, he was not as free and loose as Wang Ji, Luo Rufang and others. Rather, it is committed to maintaining human ethics, in the words of a later generation. He is a Taoist gentleman, and he disagrees very much with Xiaobei's behavior of not returning to the sect after escaping from the Hu family. Therefore, he was silent for a long time, until the carriage stopped again, and he opened the curtain of the carriage, and there was a clean tea stall in front of him, and then he said lightly: "Get out of the car and talk." ”
The coachman has been a servant of his hometown for many years, and the same is true for the car, but Geng Xiangxiang doesn't want to let outsiders know about today's meeting and conversation. After getting out of the car, seeing that the owner of the tea stall had been given money by the servants to temporarily retreat, and there were no outsiders around, he looked at Xiaobei and said bitterly: "How much did Duke Hu love you back then, and even invited a famous teacher to teach martial arts for you regardless of people's words, but after you escaped from the Hu family, there have been opportunities to return to the sect for many years, not to mention that last year Duke Hu was wronged and Zhaoxue returned to his old position, how can you not return to the sect?" ”
Although Xiaobei thanked Geng Xiang for his friendship back then, when she heard the other party's righteous reproach, she immediately raised her head, and there was no guilt in her eyes: "If my father is still here, of course I will recognize my ancestors and return to my ancestors, but what kind of people my two brothers are, will Mr. Geng not know?" One abandoned the coffin in the middle of the road for his own safety, and the other went to the post station to extort supplies and was arrested for Haigang Peak, how did my mother and sister die? I escaped from the Hu family with my nurse back then, just to ask for help from the old people back then, but why did the news of my death come not long after? Even when my father was celebrating his fifth anniversary, my brother almost made a deal with someone! ”
Seeing that Geng Xiang was silent, Xiaobei continued: "For them, fame and fortune are the most important, since I am a dead man, why should I go back and bother them? Don't hide it from Mr. Geng, Wang Fulin is the husband that my father set for me back then, but I didn't expect that after I followed my current father and mother to She County to take office, I would be able to meet him, and it can be regarded as my father's spiritual blessing in heaven. Now I have a father who is not afraid of authority and dares to fight and dare to speak, and I also have a mother who regards me as my own and loves me carefully, and my sister who has taken care of me for many years, and I respect my younger brother, why do I have to go to great lengths to resurrect the dead to go back to the Hu family to recognize my ancestors and return to my ancestors? ”
Wang Fulin saw that Xiaobei had said it, so he said: "So, when I got married to Xiaobei last year, Mr. He Fushan, Mr. Lumen, Xin'an Lu Gongzi, and many old acquaintances from Humen came. I think that love is in the heart, not on the surface, if Hu Gong is alive, he will never blame the two of us. ”
Hearing this, Geng Xiang's face was no longer the same as before. He took a sip of tea a little absentmindedly, although the tea was very coarse and the tea was a little astringent, but he didn't pay too much attention to it, but was still immersed in the words just now. After a long time, he shook his head and said, "Although I really don't agree, since the other elders of you know about it, I have nothing to say. It's just ......"
He stared at Wang Fulin with complicated eyes for a long time, and said in a low voice: "There is no successor to Duke Hu, everyone knows it, even if you are not his son-in-law in name, but after all, you are married to his daughter." I only hope that you can be down-to-earth step by step, and don't fall into the name of the southeast pillar stone of the year! That's all it takes, you two can do it yourself! ”
Seeing that Geng Xiangxiang stood up like this, he immediately staggered out of the tea stall, and got into the carriage with the servant's hand, and after a while, the carriage and horses disappeared from sight, Wang Fulin took Xiaobei's shoulders and whispered: "Okay, don't care what he says, let's just do what we have to do." People live for themselves, not for what others say. ”
"I was sad at first, but then I wasn't." Xiaobei looked up. Although the eyes are slightly red and swollen. It is bright definitely. "When I talked about my father and sister and brother, I felt that they were my closest relatives, just like my heavenly father. If others don't understand, it's someone else's business, I only know that giving birth to grace and nurturing grace are equally important, and there is no difference between thick and thin! ”
"That's a good thing to say, let the father-in-law and mother-in-law. and my sister Little Fat Man, when they hear it, they will definitely feel that they didn't raise you in vain. ”
Wang Fulin said as he dragged Xiaobei out of the house, but saw Bizhu leading three horses waiting there. He was about to get on his horse and return to the city, but suddenly noticed a figure behind a tree not far away, and a figure slowly turned out, and then took off the hat on his head. Although the Communist Party of China has only met this person once, the Xin'an Hall raid incident was not small, and he recognized the person as soon as possible, but it was not Pan Erye, the deputy commander of the Dongcheng Terracotta Division? With his heart beating, he was about to instruct Xiaobei. only to find that the person's hand suddenly shook, and the hat in his hand was thrown towards them. The man flew and pounced.
In the face of this inexplicable surprise attack, Wang Fulin was surprised and vigilant, his right hand was buckled and raised, and the sword in his waist had been raised with the sheath raised, just as the hat was knocked away. But at this time, the second master of Pan had already attacked Xiaobei, and his fists and feet were vigorous, and at first glance he was not mighty. Taken aback, he wanted to go up to help, but seeing that Xiaobei coped with it easily, and then looked closely, how strange those attacks looked, so he stopped Bizhu, who was about to rush up, and looked at the empty space and said: "Second Master Pan, can you stop?" Does this monkey show need to continue? ”
As soon as the words fell, Xiaobei had already turned around and landed on Wang Fulin's side. And Second Master Pan withdrew his hand and stood up, but his eyes still glanced at Xiaobei a few times, and then he arched his hand quietly: "Offended." ”
Wang Fulin took a deep breath, thinking that it was really hell to go out of the city to see people off today, first he was stopped by Geng Xiang and said a call, and now there is such an uninvited guest? Since his heart was not happy, his tone of voice was naturally not so good: "Second Master Pan shouldn't have met us here by chance, right?" ”
"Of course, since Wang Xiaoguan and his wife sent people out of the city, I have been keeping up. But I didn't expect to be the chief examiner of the Jinke Township Examination, Master Geng, who took the lead, and I couldn't get close, so I could only wait here for the rabbit. Second Master Pan made no secret of the fact that he had followed all the way, and then said lightly, "Don't say dark words in front of the Ming people, my Dongcheng Soldiers and Horses Division has a scum like He Si, and now the pressure is not small." I'm just wondering, He Si is not defeated sooner or later, but the day after he took leave after searching the Xin'an Hall, he was sent to the head of the house, is it a coincidence. ”
The first Xiaobei said that Pan Erye actually visited the Xin'an Hall in person, Wang Fulin was a little vigilant at that time, but he didn't expect that this person would perseveringly chase this line, and even stared at his husband and wife so accurately! He was a little glad that he hadn't let Yan's mother and Xiaobei go in and out together recently, and saw that on the tea stall that had no business for the time being, the owner was napping, and there were no pedestrians on the official fork in the road that Geng Xiang specially ordered the entourage to bring over, so he threw Bizhu a look, let her be optimistic about Xiaobei, and he walked straight forward.
"What does Second Master Pan want to say?"
"The two prisoners who were charged with the cane were sent to the army, and I chose the people who escorted them north. Although they were all very tough, Miki didn't confide anything, but I asked a little something. They said that they were broken into when they were talking to He Si secretly, and the intruder gently and skillfully found out He Si's mistakes, thus tearing apart the truth. The most important thing is that they believe that the person who came is the old department of the Zhejiang army. However, they are brainless people with straight intestines, but I am not, why did the old department of the Zhejiang army happen to follow them to the place where they had a secret meeting? Why did you think of instructing them to save their lives in such a big way? Isn't it because He Si was once a personal soldier of Hu Butang, so he was recognized by coincidentally? But he has not been in Nanjing for a day or two, and this matter is not a secret, why was he recognized and recognized by someone on that day? ”
