Chapter 44: The True Face (I)

The small courtyard of the Xu family seemed silent at night. The Jin Liu couple in the front yard had been busy all day and had already fallen asleep, and the initial sound of the creaking wooden bed shaking was no longer audible, but the sound of snoring came faintly from the cracks in the windows and doors. Even the big black cat raised by Jin Liu's sister-in-law who loves to haunt at night the most, I don't know if it is because of the rats at home or other reasons, curled up in the corner and slept very sweetly.

The backyard is quiet, but it's different. On the guest bed in the east wing, a quilt covered the bed tightly from head to toe, and a large piece arched in the middle, so that if a person stood in front of the bed, he would never hear the slightest sound. In the spacious west room of the main house, Xu Xun stared at the young man in front of him who was kneeling on the cold ground, and the person was trembling like chaff, and he had been silent for a long time.

"Young Master......"

"Why didn't you say it sooner!"

Seeing Ruisheng's tearful scene, Xu Xun swallowed back the next sentence unconsciously when he reached his mouth, but gently tapped his forehead with his fist. He thought that the monk of Huitong might be alarmist, but he couldn't sleep in the middle of the night and quietly went out of the courtyard, wanting to find the monk to ask for a clear question, but he pushed the door in and found that the person was actually in disguise, but he was not there, so he couldn't bear it anymore, and immediately went back to the house to wake up Ruisheng and carried it to him. However, one sentence that I know everything, plus three or two sentences of deception, the truth that this little guy confides is enough to make him sluggish.

"I'm afraid that the young master doesn't want me anymore!" Ruisheng suddenly slammed his head to the ground, and cried out, "Young Master, don't send me back, I don't want to see my father, I don't want to see him!" I'm not afraid that he will beat me, I am not afraid that he will scold me, but I am afraid that he will send me to that place again, I don't want to lie in bed for a month or two and not be able to move, I don't want to be in pain there......"

"Don't cry! Manly Husband ......"

Xu Xun drank a sentence, it can be seen that Latham is holding back and not daring to let go of his appearance, thinking that the six words of the manly husband really can't be used on the little guy in front of him, he can't help but sigh in despair, and his heart has a deep disgust and contempt for the barely impressed Latham father.

No matter which dynasty it is, it is a way for poor families to find a way to live for their children, which is understandable, but Ruisheng's family is clearly not poor to that extent, but Lao Tzu quietly sent his son to be castrated, and as a result, he sought to enter the palace but touched the nail again and again, and finally simply threw his son to him and ignored it, what kind of beast is this!

Seeing Rayson's shrunken and trembling appearance, Xu Xun stood up and walked two steps, went to the window and opened the branch window to take a look at the quiet courtyard, he suddenly turned back to Rayson and asked, "When did your father send you there?" ”

"My mother...... After my mother died......"

"After your mother dies, ......" Xu Xun muttered to himself as he looked at the starless canopy of the bright moon hanging high above him, and suddenly asked without looking back, "Then after you come to me, do you have any news about your father or your family?" ”

"I didn't ...... No. ”

At this moment, Xu Xun misses the convenient computer and Internet in the past - even if he has a lot of books in this room, but Da Ming Law does not, but even if it is that vague impression, he vaguely remembers that it is a big crime to seek advancement from the palace in these years, especially when he is unable to protect himself, this matter is enough to make him recover. So, standing in front of the window for a while, he turned around and saw that Rayson was already curled up on the ground, he sighed and dragged the man up.

"The body is crippled, and the ambition can't be short, crying and crying all day long!" Seeing that Ruisheng heard his words, he wiped his nose vigorously and tried to straighten his chest, he flexed his index finger and middle finger to give the little guy a hard blow on his head, and then said with a straight face, "Finally, you told the truth, if you have anything to hide before, just say it together, I don't want to have a next time." ”

"Young Master......" Latham still had faint bruises and floating ashes left by just hitting his head hard, hearing this, he instinctively wanted to cry, but looking at Xu Xun's stern eyes, he finally stopped stiffly, and only whispered after a while, "I don't have anything else to hide...... I only remember that my mother quarreled with my father several times in the past, and my father also made a move against my mother, and then when my mother was seriously ill, my father didn't care, and after my mother died, she became more and more fierce to me, and let my stepmother beat me and scold me...... Dad once when he was drunk, he scolded me for being a wild seed of the Xu family......"

As soon as these words came out, Latham burst into tears again, and Xu Xun's face became completely gloomy. Although Latham is twelve or thirteen years old, he has always grown up in the countryside and is not very sophisticated, and he may not understand the strangeness behind his father's attitude, but how can he not guess from these words and deeds? It's just that there is no DNA in these years, who knows if it's true or not?

"Alright, stop talking!"

Ratham stopped Latham in a deep voice again, and Xu Xun had to pace back and forth in the room again. Since his rebirth, he has not had many ties in this life, how can Latham be counted as one. The little guy is serious enough to admit death, loyal to the point of stubbornness, although it is not as smooth as Jin Liu, but it is always true that he is dedicated to him - whether it is the Xu family who left the species for the time being, what matters now is that who else knows about this, and will those who know about this matter take advantage of this matter to make waves?

After thinking about it, Xu Xunsuo, who was in a hurry, pushed the window open. As a gust of wind swept in from outside, he happened to see a figure fall to the ground lightly and skillfully, and then looked over to him. Between the four eyes, although the man was dressed in a night suit, he already knew it in his heart, and immediately showed a meaningful smile to the person.

In the past, I lived alone, and I was used to going out in the middle of the night, but now I only borrowed two days in Xu's house, and this time I was caught by Xu Xun when I returned in the middle of the night, and Huitong naturally felt extremely annoyed. He thought about it, grabbed the hat from his head, ignored the white light reflected by his bare head in the moonlight, and walked over.

"It's so late, Xu Qishao, you still haven't slept yet?"

"The great monk went out when the moonlight was so good, didn't he want to tell me to go to enjoy the flowers and the moon and the beauties?"

As soon as Xu Xun opened his mouth, he snatched all the words he wanted to say, and Huitong was dumbfounded for a while, walked forward and glanced through the window, and vaguely saw that Ruisheng was standing in the room with his head down, and he immediately understood. He had the intention to divert the topic to Latham, but unexpectedly, Xu Xun coughed and ordered: "Latham, go back to sleep first, and talk about your affairs tomorrow!" ”

When Ruisheng drooped his head and agreed, he got up and turned around and went out of the room, Xu Xun went up and closed the door, just stood at the window and looked at Huitong and said, "Great monk, we don't talk darkly. I know you have secrets, and I don't want to ask so much, but since you want to save Uncle Xu, shouldn't we be honest about some things? Not only do you know the secrets of Latham & Watkins, but also do you have kung fu to sell you to me? You ought to know what his deeds are, and what they are charged with. ”

Huitong put his hands on the window shelf and said solemnly: "Of course I know." In the fifth year of Hongzhi, the current emperor has issued a holy decree. In the future, those who dare to purify themselves will be beheaded by those who do not attack themselves, and the whole family will be sent to the border to fill the army. The two neighbors and the family do not raise their heads to ask for sin. There are old people in the department, etc., and they still have to visit frequently. But there are such people, even if they are arrested and sent to the official, such as or tolerated, they will not be spared for the crime. ”

He didn't seem to think how weird it was to repeat a holy decree in its original form, so he looked at Xu Xun playfully: "Xu Qishao, your own problem has not been solved, and it will be opened after the clan conference; One Xu Ba was still guarding the Yamen of the Soldiers and Horses Division in Nancheng; There's also the little guy's troubles. To go hand in hand, don't you think you're overestimating your abilities? For example, Latham & Watkins, you quietly send people away......"

Xu Xun heard Huitong recount the holy decree as easily as eating and drinking, and then remembered the scene when this person came and went in the middle of the night, and couldn't help but think of the two terms Dongchang and Jinyiwei in his heart. It's just that, thinking about the expansion of the factory guards in the Hongzhi Dynasty, it shouldn't be the appearance of Huitong today, he thought about it quickly, and asked the past with a smile.

"Speaking of Uncle Xu's matter, if you let you use those small means to fish him out, what will you do in the future, you two are really black households for the rest of your life? As for Latham & Spontane, if someone else knew about him as early as you did, and intercepted him halfway, or took his father out to testify casually, then my charge of not prosecuting or prosecuting would be confirmed. Even you, who have lived with me, may not be able to get away with it easily, right? ”

"Why didn't Xu Qishao talk about your own situation? Do you really think that a character like Gonggong Fu will really add to your eyes just because of your act of saving people? ”

An old man and a young man look at me, Huitong saw that Xu Xun gradually showed a sly smile, and his heart couldn't help but burst. Sure enough, the next moment, he saw the young man on the opposite side squeezing his eyes at him.

"The great monk is so well-informed, it's a pity not to make eyeliner for the factory guard."
