Chapter 234: West and East

Ding Chengzong sat still, splashing ink on his own, and Lu Xiangwu knelt on the ground with bated breath, not daring to come out. Ding Chengzong's everything was ruined in her hands, and now she is lonely and helpless, with no way to ask for help, but the only one to rely on is Ding Chengzong, what else does she have to say? Ding Chengzong didn't say a word, and Lu Xiangwu's heart was like a cliff.

She bowed her head to the ground, the room was terrifyingly quiet, and she could only faintly hear the rustle of the pen peak on the paper. After a while, Lu Xiangwu couldn't stand this torture anymore, and finally broke down and cried: "Official, the slave family knows that it is wrong, the past is all kind, the slave family does not dare to speak, only begging the official to forgive the slave family, the slave family is willing to wait for the official's knees, for the slave to be a maid, a cow and a horse, and do not dare to complain a little, official, spare me, spare me......"

She cried and said while kowtowing, her forehead knocked on the floor "empty", Ding Chengzong mentioned the pen, rolled up the sleeves of his robe, and sighed lightly: "How can you talk about a word?" ”

With the sleeves of his robe, the piece of paper fell from the case, swung a few times, and floated in front of Lu Xiangwu, the ink on the paper was dripping, only to see a cliff, a loose, and a hook in January. The strokes are concise, and at a glance, there is a cold and murderous atmosphere.

Hearing Ding Chengzong's words, Lu Xiangwu was stunned for a moment, and then ecstatic: "He...... He doesn't blame me? Doesn't he blame me? The official can't bear to blame me, even if he snubs me, it doesn't matter, as long as I serve carefully and bend my will in the future, I'm afraid that I won't be able to coax him to change his mind? ”

Lu Xiangwu immediately kowtowed and thanked: "Official, what the slave family has done, I am really ashamed of the official, but the official is so magnanimous, the slave family is ashamed and inexplicable, in the future, the slave family will definitely change their minds, be a new person, and stay by the official's side wholeheartedly......"

Ding Chengzong took another piece of paper, looked at the empty for a long time, raised his hand and dipped it in ink, waved it to write, the pen walked the dragon and snake, stopped for a moment, and then dipped it in thick ink, hung on the paper for a long time, a drop of juice fell like tears, he took advantage of the situation and wrote three more words, threw the page in front of Lu Xiangwu, and said lightly: "Rao is not necessary, if you are together, you will come, and if you don't match, you will go." Even if I, Ding Chengzong, am crippled, I will not tolerate a woman like you! Whether the Ding family is rich or poor, they can't allow a woman like you to enter the ancestral grave! ”

Lu Xiangwu was stunned, holding the paper in his hand, and only saw the two big words "Retirement Book" on the head, and he was dizzy for a while. In a trance, I saw Ding Chengzong sitting proudly, although he was half shorter, his spine was still straight, like an arrogant relaxed.

He slowly pushed the desk aside, held the ground with his hand, and slowly walked towards the door, Lu Xiangwu was frightened, as if the last trace of support was about to leave him, he couldn't help but cry out sadly, rushed forward and pressed Ding Chengzong's long robe that was dragging on the ground, and looked at Ding Chengzong with pleading eyes, at this time, the grievance and sadness in her eyes could even move people with a heart of stone.

She only hoped that Ding Chengzong would look back at him. But Ding Chengzong didn't turn his head to look back at all, he still moved to the door step by step, and the robe slipped away inch by inch from Lu Xiangwu's slender fingers, Lu Xiangwu looked at the last robe held by his fingers in despair, and heard Ding Chengzong's low chanting in his ears: "One repair, all cultivation." Break everything off. One Certificate, One Certificate, All Certificates. Such as shredded dyeing. In an instant. Able to Bodhi ......"

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※ Ding Chengzong opened the shoji door, only to see his father Xuxian Zhou holding his nine-year-old little sister, his father's two concubines and a few personal maid rings, were standing in the courtyard with a worried face, looking at him in panic, Ding Chengzong was speechless, and the two Yang Hao guards guarding the door carried him onto the rattan chair, and then his little sister finally couldn't help but call timidly: "Big brother." ”

Ding Chengzong smiled and said softly: "Little sister ......"

He looked up at Zhou and the two Mrs. Ru again, and saw the worry and hesitation in their eyes, so he said: "Auntie, Erniang, Sanniang, taking care of you is the obligation of a man of the Ding family, and if the man of the Ding family does not die for a day, you are not orphans and widows." Please ask the eldest lady to bring a few close-fitting maids to help Xiang Wu clean up and send her away. There are still some things in the front hall now, I still have to rush over, Erniang, Sanniang, you go back to the room to rest, this day, it hasn't fallen yet, you don't have to worry. ”

Zhou nodded, took the little daughter's hand, and the faces of the two concubines also showed a look of gratitude and relief, and they watched Ding Chengzong being carried up by the two guards to the front hall, and the uneasy heart finally settled down a little.

The hall of the second courtyard was deserted, only Yang Hao sat silently on the chair, and there were two burly men standing at the door of the hall, and there was no one else.

As soon as he saw Ding Chengzong come out, Yang Hao immediately stood up.

Ding Chengzong stopped at the entrance of the hall, looked at him for a long time, and suddenly said in a deep voice: "Help me up." ”

Yang Hao was just about to step forward, but Ding Chengzong pressed his palm to stop his movements, and said again: "Help me up!" ”

The two big men on the left and right hurriedly stepped forward to set him up, Ding Chengzong left the chair, and when he got close to Yang Hao, he suddenly shook his arms, broke free from the support of the two big men, and knelt in front of Yang Hao with a "poof".

Yang Hao was taken aback, and hurriedly stepped forward to help: "Young Master, are you ...... What does this do? ”

Ding Chengzong said astringently: "You are in love with the Ding family. The Ding family is up and down, but I'm sorry for you, today, I want to ask you for sin. ”

Yang Hao hurriedly said: "Why can't I say this, Ding Chengye harmed me, it's Ding Chengye's business." Yang Hao is not the kind of person who has a grudge and hates the whole family, not to mention that when I was in Ding Mansion, the eldest young master defended me in every way, and I always remember that affection. ”

Ding Chengzong smiled bitterly and said gloomily: "No, you don't know, ...... Master Cheng, the defense envoy of Guangyuan, sent a letter to invite you to Guangyuan, but I burned the letter in order to keep you. ”

Yang Hao was stunned, the truth of this public case was finally revealed, he thought that the Ye family car dealership had lost this letter, but he didn't expect it to fall into the hands of Ding Chengzong. Ding Chengzong told the story of that day as it happened, and said gloomily: "If you leave that day, you won't encounter those things in the future, speaking of which, the culprit is me." ”

Yang Hao was silent for a long time, and the past came to his mind one by one, and he also had mixed feelings for a while. He also has a little resentment in his heart, but he can't do it with his reason. Yes, the letter was burned by Ding Chengzong, but if Ding Chengzong hadn't been there that day, would the letter have fallen into his hands?

Ding Chengzong burned the letter, not because he wanted to harm him, but because he saw that his second brother's rotten wood was difficult to carve, he tried his best to leave him behind, persuade his father to let him recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors, and let him become the head of the Ding family, is this an attempt to harm him? As for the subsequent creation and manipulation, even Ding Chengzong was unexpected. If you trace back to the source, this revenge can be traced to Ding Chengzong's head, then he traveled through time and space and changed the fate of the fool Ding Hao, can he be regarded as the culprit who killed the Yang family and Luo Dong'er?

Ding Chengzong saw that he was distracted, and said in a low voice: "I was poisoned so much that life is worse than death, and in the end, it was you who woke me up, I owe you too much." Ding Chengzong is now a wasted person, and there is no one day to repay you for compensating you, so you can only end your life......"

He raised his head, looked at Yang Hao, and said in a deep voice: "You also heard what Yan Jiu said, I have guessed a few points of this question, but I always have to force out the details from his mouth before the truth can be revealed, so now I can't die, I have to go back to find out about it." When they are punished, I will give you my life. It's just ......, whether you admit it or not, your body is bleeding with the blood of the person surnamed Ding after all, and by that time, you are the only man in my Ding bloodline, I want to beg you, up and down the house, these old and weak women and children, please take care of them properly. ”

Ding Chengzong's words are to entrust the women and children of the Ding family to Yang Hao, naturally, all the property of the Ding family was entrusted to him, but although Ding Chengzong heard him say that the grievances are clear, he only finds Ding Chengye to settle accounts, and will not anger the Ding clansmen, but he knows that he really hates the Ding family, although the Ding family, which is now strict in discipline and rotten in family rules, has long been beaten beyond recognition by Ding Chengye, and now it has only turned into a floating fortune, and it has long ceased to be the same as it used to be, but Yang Hao's disgust for the Ding family in his bones will not be eliminated.

Maybe another person, anyway, the past is gone, and it is difficult to come back to life, I can't wait to push the boat down the river and take over the huge property of the Ding family, but I just take care of the three ladies, two young ladies, and a few women and children for him, where can I find such a good thing? But he knew that no matter how huge this property was, it might not touch Yang Hao's heart. Otherwise, when he would rather move into the city to live and give up the Ding family, Yang Hao would not still be bent on going.

With that, he looked at Yang Hao intently, hoping that his will would be slightly loosened, but after looking carefully for a long time, he was still disappointed, Yang Hao had no expression on his face at all, he was silent for a long time before he leaned down, put his hands around his arms, and whispered: "You get up." ”

Seeing Yang Hao's resolute look, Ding Chengzong did not refuse again, and was lifted up, and someone on both sides immediately pushed over the rattan chair for him to sit down.

"I was ordered to return to Beijing this time and make a detour to Bazhou, in order to take revenge."

Yang Hao looked at Ding Chengzong and said bluntly: "I won't hide it from you, I know that no matter how many wrong things Ding Chengye has done, he and you are brothers after all." Unless he commits the heinous crime against the Ding family, as long as you can defend him, you still have to defend him. ”

Ding Chengzong's cheeks twitched slightly: "Now...... Not necessarily. Chengye was brought back by Yan Jiu, and now that I think about it, it is very likely that he will be stiff and replace my real second brother with his own flesh and blood, these are already thought of, and now the difference is just a confession. ”

Yang Hao said: "But before that, you didn't know, and I didn't know. So when I came to Bazhou, I planned to secretly attack and kill Ding Chengye and Yan Jiu. However, when my stepfather took out the poison he had obtained from the steppe wizard, I became suspicious of your stroke and coma, so I changed my course and wanted to see if I could use this antidote to save you, and if it really worked, then you would be sure that you had been poisoned, and I believe that you would work with me to find out the real culprit. ”

Ding Chengzong said ashamedly: "The Ding family is sorry for you too much, but you have been repaying grievances with virtue, and when I hear you, I am even more embarrassed." ”

Yang Hao shook his head lightly and said: "Now, although the conclusive confession we want has not yet arrived, this mystery has been revealed, no matter whether we can get conclusive evidence from Yan Jiu and Ding Chengye, I hope that in the end, you can hand over Yan Jiu and Ding Chengye to me." ”

"Yan Jiu, Ding Chengye ......" Ding Chengzong muttered a sentence, his eyes showed a sad and indignant gaze, he nodded heavily, he knew what it meant for Yang Hao to ask for these two people, and he knew that Yang Hao could forcibly take the lives of these two people without his consent. Yang Haoken asked him, willing to hand over these two people to him first, just because there was still a friendship for him in his heart, whether this love was friendship or family affection, he couldn't tell now, but at least it gave him comfort and a glimmer of hope in his lonely and desperate heart.

The two went out, re-boarded the car and rushed to the courtyard of Wangxiazhuang, halfway through, they bumped into Mu Yu and rushed to the four guards, Yang Hao was stunned and said: "Xiao Yu, didn't you let you take care of Yan Jiu and Ding Chengye and see what they said?" Why did you bring people out, what happened to you? ”

As soon as Mu Yu saw Yang Hao, Fang Shi breathed a sigh of relief, the nervous look on his face disappeared, and he happily replied: "My lord, Yan Jiu was slapped by the adult, and now he is still unconscious, and for a while, I am afraid it will be difficult to talk to people." The subordinates were originally taking care of them, but Miss Ding said that the northwest area is fierce, and most of the families practice martial arts, and now the Ding family's servants are all Ding Chengye and Yan Jiu's henchmen, and they can't be relied on. The subordinates thought that protecting the safety of the adults was the first responsibility of the subordinates, and if the adults really had any mistakes, it would be terrible, so they brought someone here. ”

Ding Chengzong frowned, and asked in a deep voice, "Now...... Who is watching over them? ”

Mu Yu said: "Yan Jiu is seriously injured, half-dead, but it doesn't matter. As for Ding Chengye, the eldest lady has asked the chief workers of your mansion to tie Ding Chengye to the pillar, and there are those four long workers to guard him, plus the eldest lady is full of martial arts, so she is not in the way. ”

Yang Hao and Ding Chengzong were relieved, one was seriously injured and the other was tied up, it was true that they still had the ability to escape. The two people came together, rushed back to Wang Xiazhuang, and when they entered the gate, and then went to the hall, they saw Ding Yuluo sitting there upright, his eyes were straight, and he didn't even seem to see them come in. Yang Hao and Ding Chengzong glanced at each other, and suddenly felt strange in their hearts.

"Yuluo, Yuluo!" Ding Chengzong raised his voice and shouted twice, Ding Yuluo suddenly woke up, bounced up from the chair, and saw the person in front of her clearly, so she asked, "The people who came to the Lu family to make trouble have already been sent away?" ”

Ding Chengzong nodded and asked strangely, "What are you thinking about?" ”

Ding Yuluo reluctantly squeezed out a smile, gently swept the hair on his sideburns, and said softly: "Big brother, I have something to say to him alone, is it okay?" ”

Yang Hao and Ding Chengzong looked at each other, Yang Hao nodded slightly, Ding Yuluo saw that he agreed, turned around and went outside, Yang Hao followed her silently, the two turned into a wing room on the right, Ding Yuluo turned his head and stood still, looked at him silently, and said after a while: "In the past six months, I often think, I don't know where you will be, how you will live, a conscious big brother in front of me." In the distance, a second brother who is in a foreign land, there is only one younger brother left, but he is a bastard, seeing that the family business that my father has worked hard to create is ruined by him, but my daughter's family is powerless, this heart is ...... It's miserable......"

Taking care of an unconscious relative is just a matter of words, but if you really want to do it, how much effort and hard work will it take, and at the same time, you have to fight with the brother who is not a weapon all day long, isolated, which day, she will not live hard? Others only see her weakness now, who would want her to support her to this day, how much burden can her immature shoulders bear? After all, she was just an eighteen-year-old girl.

As she spoke, two lines of tears slowly flowed out: "You are in the Ding family, you have suffered too much, and the Ding family is sorry for you." Fortunately...... People are good and people are bullied, the sky is not deceiving, I haven't seen you for half a year, you have become a high-ranking official of the imperial court. With your help, my eldest brother has woken up, and I have nothing more to ask for. ”

Yang Hao looked at the tone and look of her speech, and there was a faint sense of ominousness in his heart, but when he saw her crying, he still comforted: "The people of the Ding family are indeed sorry for me, but at least ...... You've never done anything to be sorry for me. ”

Ding Yuluo's face was full of tears, but he smiled: "I didn't before, but now, my sister has also done something sorry for you." ”

Yang Hao's heart sank, and he urged: "What do you mean?" ”

Ding Yuluo bent his knees, slowly knelt on the ground, and said quietly: "I know that although Aunt Yang's death and Dong'er's death were not done by Chengye himself, he couldn't excuse himself. I know that an important purpose of your detour to Bazhou when you went to Beijing to take up your post this time is to kill him to take revenge. I know that in your heart he is unforgivable......"

She burst into tears and said, "But, no matter what, he is my brother, even if he does too many wrong things outside, I can't be too forgetful and selfless, watching and waiting for you to take his life." Immobility, immobility, that is the realm of the Buddha, Yuluo is just an ordinary man......"

Yang Hao said in a deep voice: "What did you do? ”

"I've ...... Let him go......"

Yang Hao was stunned for a while, laughed "ha", nodded and said, "Okay, very good......"

Ding Yuluo wanted to say something, Yang Hao had already stretched out his hand to stop her and asked, "What is happening to Yan Jiu now?" ”

"He's dead from his wounds."

Yang Hao sighed, with a smile on his face, but there was no smile in his eyes, so that Ding Yuluo didn't dare to look at him, Yang Hao said lightly: "My revenge is only half avenged." Hehe, the Ding family, after all, he has to go to the people of the Ding family, even if he has more not. From your standpoint, you have done nothing wrong, so why should you ask me for sin? ”

Although Yang Hao didn't have any serious words, but these words embarrassed Ding Yuluo even more than the heavy responsibility, she was stabbed by Yang Hao like a knife, but she really couldn't think of a plan to do both, the dead are gone, but this living person is the brother of her mother's compatriots, how can she sit back and watch him be killed?

Yang Hao felt a kind of loss, a helplessness, and a pain in his heart, but he could only suppress it in his heart. Yes, in his eyes, Ding Chengye is dead and cannot be redeemed, but what does he think of it in Ding Yuluo's eyes? That's her brother. Maybe she won't think about it when she knows everything Ding Chengye has done, but there is no need to explain it to her now. He laughed self-deprecatingly, and when he finished speaking, he brushed his sleeves and left.

Ding Yuluo knelt on the ground in a daze and looked at his back, she knew that the more Yang Hao did not break out, the heavier the resentment in his heart, this time he walked out, he would never look back. But what could she say more?

After a long time, she slowly stood up on the table and staggered out the door.

Ding Chengzong was sitting in the hall, and the four long-term workers were like children who had done something wrong, standing aside with their heads down, holding their breath and not daring to speak. Yang Haotie came out with a blue face, without saying a word, he went to the left wing room to see Yan Jiu's cold corpse, and then took his guards and left, Ding Chengzong couldn't help but call, so he knew that something had happened, and immediately called Xiaoqing and Xiaoyuan, and as soon as he asked what happened, Ding Chengzong's heart was also cold.

Ding Yuluo's heart is really miserable now, the second brother came back, the eldest brother was sober, her heart was like a dark cloud covering the sky for a long time, and finally revealed such a glimmer of light, but for this brother who is not worthy of pity but can't ignore him to die, she really made herself not a person inside and out. The second brother left in a rage, he would never recognize her as a sister again in this life, as for the eldest brother, would he forgive himself for letting Chengye go?

"Big brother, I'm ......" Ding Yuluo walked up to Ding Chengzong, and as soon as he opened his mouth, Ding Chengzong sneered: "Shut up, how can someone from my Ding family do such a foolish thing as you?" ”

"Yes! I'm confused! Ding Yuluo raised his head bravely, his eyes no longer wandering: "To him, the sister is sorry, whether he is from our Ding family or not, but the Ding family has never given him anything, he has paid too much for the Ding family." I let go of my brother, his enemy, and I am sorry for him. But ......, my name is Ding Yuluo, and I didn't do anything wrong! ”

"You ......" Ding Chengzong's pale cheeks turned red, but Ding Yuluo said in a clear and firm voice: "Even if I know that doing this will disappoint him and make him sad, I have no choice." The reason for this is not for anything else, just because I am a member of the Ding family. No matter how bad the things Chengye did, even if the evidence is conclusive, even if he is sent to the government for treatment, he will not be guilty of death. I know...... I know that he has done something sorry for his eldest brother, but according to the crime, it is only a criminal punishment of three years of exile, even if you don't talk about the king's law, only talk about human feelings, big brother, can you bear to kill him? Brothers kill each other, and it's hard to look down under the nine springs of my father and mother......"

"Confused!" Ding Chengzong was extremely angry, and a loud slap slapped Ding Yuluo's face, and five finger prints immediately appeared on the thin and pale cheeks.

"Get out, you all get out." Ding Chengzong grabbed the handrail tightly with both hands, and shouted at Xiaoqing, Xiaoyuan and the four long-term workers, and several people hurriedly retreated, leaving only Ding Chengzong and Ding Yuluo in the hall.

Ding Chengzong's eyes were filled with tears, and he said bitterly: "Yuluo, this time, you are really wrong!" ”

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※ Lu Xiangwu hurriedly walked out of the Ding family's compound with her head down, she didn't dare to look up, she didn't dare to look at the strange eyes of the people, her face was hot, until she left the gate of the Ding family, hurriedly escaped from the village, and when she arrived at a no-man's land, she cried loudly.

The wind was cold, the fields were covered with snow, and she didn't know where she was going now. The wrong thing has been wrong, and there is no turning back, under the so-called help of the Ding family aunt and a few maids, but in fact under the surveillance, she was ashamed to bring even a box of jewelry, so she carried a letter of resignation and went out of the house.

Ding Chengzong's letter of resignation did not mention anything about her not abiding by women's morals, only saying that she had become disabled and disheartened, and since then she has been cultivating Buddhism, not staining the world, and not being able to delay his wife's youth, so as to save a trace of face for her, but ...... Ten miles and eight towns, she has already vaguely heard about her affair with Ding Chengye, and now she has been abandoned by Ding Chengzong, can she hide it from others?

She didn't know where to go, and she didn't know what to do in the future, so she walked forward in a daze, subconsciously walking in the direction of Bazhou Mansion. But the more she moved forward, the heavier her steps became, her maiden family, because Ding Chengye had turned against her, had long since denied her as a daughter, and now with a letter of resignation, how could she enter her own home?

Lu Xiangwu cried all the way, walked all the way, staggered, tears had dried up, after Lijiazhuang, saw the rushing river in the Woxue field, Lu Xiangwu looked at the river stupidly, the cold wind blew her messy hair, and her face was frozen blue. But she stood motionless on the rocks by the river.

There is no way to heaven and no door to the earth. She didn't know whether she should hate Ding Chengye or herself, it didn't matter now, the wind blew to the bone, and there was no warmth in her heart, and the river in front of her might be her best destination.

Dong'er, the little widow who was scolded by the villagers and soaked in a pig cage by Dong Li's family, died in this river. This time, if I see her, I don't know if she will make fun of herself, that Dong'er...... At least she can confess her love to others in public, and the people she loves are also worthy of her love. She died, there was a man who was willing to fight for her against the strong men in Lijiazhuang Village, and a man who was willing to slash her life and wander the world, but what about herself?

Lu Xiangwu suddenly felt a little envious of Luo Dong'er: she died, there are always people who think about her, she has been such a big official, and she doesn't forget to come back to avenge her grievances, a woman should be content in this life if she does this job. And what about yourself? It's probably like the foam in the water, it will disappear in a flash, and it will be death, and no one will remember me...... Lu Xiangwu smiled miserably, covered his face with his sleeves, and jumped down the river...... "Master, someone jumped into the river to belch......"

"Really?" Zheng Chenghe, the first jealous husband of Guangyuan, poked his head out of the sedan car, looked at the big river, grinned a toad mouth like a thunderous tiger, and sighed: "What a picture, how cold is this." With that, he retracted his head.

"yes." The handlebar style also sighed for a long time: "Although I didn't see her appearance clearly, but look at that figure, the convex convex, the concave concave, quite gluttonous." ”

With a "whoosh", Zheng Chenghe poked his head out again, glared at a pair of blistered eyes and said, "What do you say?" Is it a woman? Ouch, you blind-eyed bastard, stop, stop, hurry up and save someone! ”

Zheng Chenghe jumped into the car, holding a hand warmer bag and pointing at his entourage: "Hurry up, hurry up, all of them will be given to the master and I will go down to fish for people, whoever scoops people up, I will reward you five times, no!" Ten times ......, I'm still stunned by your mother, go into the water, your grandmother's ......"

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※ a small flower hall, temporarily changed to a place to place the ancestral tablet of the Ding family, the ever-bright lamps and candles are faint, exuding a faint milky fragrance, Ding Chengzong is dressed in gray, sitting quietly on the futon in front of the incense case, looking at the straight lamp, I don't know what to think.

Ding Yuluo quietly pushed open the door and walked in, walking like a cat, so light that there was no sound, but the candle flame swayed slightly. Ding Chengzong was aware of this, and turned his head slightly, only to see Ding Yuluo short robe and trousers, a cloth belt around his waist, a pair of soap boots for a gripping tiger under his feet, a short sword at his waist, and a package on his shoulder.

Her cheeks had been dyed yellow with ginger juice, and her beard was sticky, and she was dressed like a peugeot, thin young man, and she wore a fur hat that covered her ears, and she was dressed in a half-bearded and half-man manner, which was the usual way for northerners to travel far away.

"Big brother, I'm ready."

Ding Chengzong turned his head silently: "Big brother knows, I have suffered you these days, I thought I could handle these things, but I didn't want you to know those dirty things anymore, who knew that he had the opportunity to take advantage of it and deceive you with clever words." But this is not a reason for you to forgive yourself, you have done something wrong, and you have to make amends yourself. ”

Ding Yuluo said quietly: "I know, this time, I will not disappoint my eldest brother." ”

Ding Chengzong said: "The eldest brother is not speculating on him because of his own grudges. What Yan Jiu said before he died, coupled with my calm analysis in the past few days, I absolutely believe that what he said when he got carried away at that time was not a lie, I was poisoned by them, and my father was also killed by them. Ding Chengye ...... It's not our Ding family's descendants! Even if he did, he would be guilty of killing his father, you know? ”

"I understand!"

"Okay, in front of the ancestral spiritual seat, kneel!"

Ding Yuluo walked to a futon and knelt down on his knees, and Ding Chengzong said word for word: "Now, you swear to your father and ancestors that you must take revenge!" ”

Ding Yuluo knocked his head down heavily, and Ding Chengzong's voice echoed in the empty room, a little calm: "If you can bring him back alive, bring him to the spiritual seat of the ancestors and ancestors, if not, kill him and bring his head back, otherwise, you will never have to come back!" ”

"Yes!" Ding Yuluo knocked his head down again, Ding Chengzong's eyes overflowed with tears, and he suddenly turned his head. He is not such a ruthless person, and in fact, he doesn't want Ding Yuluo to take on such a responsibility from a girl's family, but his legs are ruined, and this mission can only be completed by his sister, and he can only force his heart to be like a stone.

"Big brother ......" Ding Yuluo walked to the door, tightened his belt, turned his head to look back, and asked: "The Ding family's house and land have been sold by him, after I leave, you ...... What are you going to do? ”

"I didn't do anything." Ding Chengzong sat cross-legged in front of the ever-bright lamp, and said without looking back: "It has been broken, and no matter how sticky it is, it will not be able to return to its original appearance." After the land is sold, you can buy it again, and the house can be built again after you sell it, but the people's hearts are lost, and it is difficult to get together again. After you leave, I will take my family to Luling Prefecture, and if you have completed your mission, you will go there to meet me. ”

Ding Yuluo looked a little excited, and said sneeringly: "I...... We repeatedly broke his heart, and he ...... Will he forgive us? ”

Ding Chengzong closed his eyes and said quietly: "Whether he forgives me or not, it's his business." All I want is peace of mind now. You go, I'll go to Luling Prefecture tomorrow......"

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※ rolled down the hillside, Ding Chengye got up panting, and fled all the way, his robe was all scraped and tattered, his eyebrows were clear, his lips were red and his teeth were white, just looking at his appearance, he was definitely a good son, but now he was unkempt, and there was no doubt that he was called Huazi.

That Yang Hao was really ruthless, he actually used the power of the Bazhou Mansion, and the sea fishing documents were scattered, making him have no way to go to the sky and no way to enter the ground, and in desperation, he couldn't help but think of what the old slave of Yanjiu said.

Thinking about it repeatedly, he really couldn't think of any effect for Yan Jiu to tell such a lie at that time, could it be that the old slave was really loyal to me? He has a brother who is a general in the northern kingdom, and he is willing to stay in Ding Mansion to take care of me?

Ding Chengye lives by himself, and it is really hard to believe that there are such foolish and loyal people in the world, but he can't find any reason for him to harm himself, so he has no choice but to flee to the north with the hope of what happens. If Yan Jiu was telling a lie, there were not a few Han people in the North, and he didn't have to worry about the crimes committed in the Southern Dynasty when he arrived here. If Yan Jiu was telling the truth, who would know that he killed the old slave? Find the northern general whose name is Lu Shengsheng, and for the sake of his eldest brother, he will not treat me lightly.

With such a thought, Ding Chengye picked up the barren mountains and remote mountains to go north, and went to the village to steal some food at night. He thought that this kind of place should not have his sea fishing documents, who expected that when he entered the village to beg, he was recognized, the people in this place are even more powerful, for a while, the gong was drummed, and Li Zheng ran to catch people with the joy of the people, so scared that he fled in the wilderness, and finally turned over this snow-capped mountain, fortunately, this is already the territory of the Khitans, and he finally doesn't have to worry about someone chasing after him.

The snow here is extremely thick, except for the footprints of some birds and beasts on the snow, there are no other traces, Ding Chengye is exhausted from walking shallow and shallow feet, and when he looks back, he is only more than two miles away from the mountain, Ding Chengye can't help but secretly complain: "At this speed, I'm afraid he can't go to a place where there are people, and he will have to starve to death, or be bitten to death by wild beasts."

Walking through a forest, he could no longer walk, grabbed two handfuls of snow and swallowed his stomach, and just wiped his mouth, he heard a loud voice: "Wu Nahan, don't move, what are you doing?" ”

Ding Chengye turned his head to look, only to see a few big men in leather hats, leather jackets, and bearded clothes were standing not far away, staring at him with bows and arrows, Ding Chengye said with tears in his eyes: "Don't kill me, don't kill me, I'm ...... I am the ...... of your Southern Courtyard General Lu Shengsheng Belch...... Distant relatives, come to run! ”

"Lu Shengsheng?" A few Khitan patrol men are suspicious, the general of the Southern Courtyard? This official may sound like a big official, but how come he has never heard of such a person?

The attributes of the Khitan army in the north are very complex, in addition to the palace tent army directly under the royal family, the tribal army composed of the princes and ministers, and the tribal army composed of the Khitan, Xi and other nomadic tribes in tribal units, the Wujing Xiangding with the nature of township soldiers and the subordinate tribes outside the Liao Dynasty. Each has its own subordinates, there are many factions, and it is possible that the generals of each army and other departments are not familiar with it, but it is a little strange that this person has never heard of a great general.

As everyone knows, Lu Shengsheng, the great general, is just a cheap official position in the emperor of the northern country, and he himself gathered 3,000 people, and in the middle of the Song realm and the northern country, he is still doing a living by robbing houses and houses, and he is not an official general of the northern country at all. Listening to Ding Chengye's cautiousness, the soldiers of the tribal army were not too embarrassed for him, searched his body, did not carry any weapons, and escorted him to see his clan leader......※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※ "My lord, let's leave here?" ”

Yang Hao sat in the car and nodded silently.

The culprit Yan Jiu is dead, although the truth has not been fully revealed, at least he is the culprit, Yang Hao has faintly guessed what happened from Yan Jiu's words, this is just the folk version of "Tanuki for the Prince", Mrs. Ding's maiden family was robbed, Yan Jiu in order to get rid of his children and grandchildren as slaves, moved flowers and trees, and said that his son became Mrs. Ding's widow, and when he grew up, he tried to kill the people of the Ding family and let his son take over the family business.

He Yang Hao just unfortunately performed too well, which made Ding Tingxun, whose eldest son was crippled and his second son incompetent, moved his mind, so he became a victim of this conspiracy. If he is still the ignorant Ding Hao before, he must still be a slave and a maid in the Ding family with the Yang family, whether the master is Ding Tingxun or Ding Chengye, there is no difference between them and their subordinates.

For that Lan'er, he can't think of a better way to deal with it, Lan'er is just a subordinate, she is not attached to Ding Chengye and Yan Jiu, and there will be others who are either for money or fear of power, and are at the mercy of Ding Chengye and Yan Jiu to frame him as circumstantial evidence, in this conspiracy, her role is really limited, and the crime does not lead to death, can she be beaten to the board?

I heard that she had been called by Ding Chengzong to be betrayed by Ya Po, this Ya Po is Granny Liu, Granny Liu knows some of his grievances with the Ding family, and also knows that Lan'er is the opponent of Young Master Ding, and she will never find her a good family, which is enough.

Ding Chengye escaped, but it was predictable that he would never go back to the Ding family, since he heard Yan Jiu's words, he had no himself, and Ding Chengzong couldn't spare him. He can no longer be a powerful second young master. The world is big, and there may not be a day when we meet. What's more, he also secretly met with Zhao Tongju, found a personal reason, let people pretend to be the bitter master, and relied on Ding Chengye, now that the sea fishing documents have been scattered, just when he is caught, he will send someone to inform himself, this Ding Chengye is a gentleman, and he has no ability to survive alone, maybe he will not be able to escape from the jurisdiction of Bazhou at all, and he will be caught.

It's just that he can't wait that long, he has to go now, he can't live just for the people who have died, and he can't live just for a mere Ding Chengye, let anyone wait, he can't let the emperor wait for a long time. Now, he has to go to Kaifeng and see the emperor.

The wheels moved, slightly bumpy, Yang Hao sighed leisurely, this trip back, still didn't hear the news of Zhen Zhu'er. There are not many people who know Zhen Zhu'er, and Granny Liu has used so many well-informed city fox society rats, and there is no use for a small domestic servant from a large rural family. The mother-in-law Yang is dead, Dong'er is also dead, what about the big brother who has depended on each other since childhood?

Thinking of the bones dug out of the soil of the river embankment when he dug a ditch for Bazhou Mansion, Yang Hao's heart couldn't help but chill: "This thief has bullied me hard enough, don't let the pig sink to the bottom of the river so silently, the sky and the earth are big, I just ask you to be merciful and let my brother have a day to reunite......"

The wheels were rolling around, and his mind was leisurely, Yang Hao thought about the missing pig, but he didn't expect that a good show of "reversing" was being staged in Luling Prefecture at this time...... People spoiled her from the beginning to the end, tangled...... Tangled......
