Chapter Ninety-Nine: Farewell to the Pavilion (II)
Han Jian, Sima Yi and others went to the Shili Pavilion, the Shili Pavilion in front of them was just a very dilapidated pavilion, this is not the official pavilion, and the general friends ushered in and sent to a shape shì, so that this small pavilion fell into disrepair for a long time, and finally the pavilion did not become a pavilion, only a skeleton remained.
In the Shili Pavilion, there were four or five prisoners who were about to be escorted to southern Xinjiang, all of them wearing flails and locks, and there were seals on the wooden flails. Along the way, the prisoner could not take off the shackles until he reached his destination. Because of this thousands of miles, it may be that there is no return, and the relatives of the prisoners have come to see them off, and the crying is accompanied by earnest entrustment, which makes the inside and outside of the Shili Pavilion also full of desolation.
Among these prisoners, one of them seemed very abrupt, and one of them sat on the fence of the Shili Pavilion with a flail and a lock, overlooking the mountain scenery alone. It's really like Zhuge Liang who is sitting in the city tower watching the mountain scenery and staging an empty city plan, Han Jian doesn't need to tell the difference to know that this is Su Tingxia, because he has no relatives and no reason in the capital, even if he used to have classmates and friends, now he is afraid that he can't hide and won't come here to see him off.
Han Jian asked the guards to take out the prepared wine, and he stepped forward alone with a small wine jar, because Lin Zhan had already explained, and no one stepped forward to ask. When Han Jian arrived at the pavilion, he didn't say much, and Su Tingxia didn't mean to pay attention to it.
"Get up, someone will watch you." A yacha stepped forward and shouted at Su Tingxia in a rough voice.
Su Tingxia sighed helplessly: "Su is alone now, how can someone come to send it?" The official is still not joking. ”
This was clearly said to Han Jian, Han Jian thought to himself, could it be that Su Tingxia hated me for not seeing me at the beginning, and now he is still angry and refuses to sit down with him and have a good talk? If Su Tingxia is really such a stingy person, then there is little point for him to come to see him.
Han Jian walked to the pavilion, stood behind Su Tingxia, and said with a faint smile: "Mr. Su is going south this time, the good luck is uncertain, I came down to see him off, sent a pot of wine, and I hope Mr. Su will not dislike it." ”
Su Tingxia originally sat there without moving, but when he heard the sound, he immediately turned around, didn't even raise his head, and knelt down with a heavy flail, his expression was so disrespectful.
"A criminal greetings to the prince." Su Tingxia couldn't kneel down because of the flail and lock, but only symbolically bowed his head and said respectfully.
"Mr. Su is polite." Han Jian waved his hand, and Sima, who was watching the excitement, went up to help Su Tingxia up. At this time, Han Jian could see Su Tingxia's face clearly.
The young man, in his twenties, had a mustache that had not been repaired in many days. But the hair is very neat, unlike those prisoners who are disheveled, Su Tingxia should be the kind of person who pays a lot of attention to appearance. If you change into a suit, the lupine scarf is also a son-in-law brother of Wencai**, but it's a pity that he is talented and good-looking, but he lacks luck, and his son is all wrong, and this game of chess in life makes him play badly.
"Sir, please be seated." Han Jian still has a bit of respect in his words, which can be regarded as a respect for his readers. Su Tingxia has taken three imperial examinations, one is on the list, and two are the champions, in the feudal society where the selection of talents is harsh, how much talent does it take to do it?
"How dare you make a mistake in front of the prince?" Su Tingxia smiled, this smile also seemed very free, as if he looked down on the world.
Han Jian is not reluctant, this ten-mile pavilion, in the end, the only place he can sit on is the narrow fence, even if he really sits on it, he will have a ** share. So Han Jian and Su Tingxia also stood there and didn't sit, and the two of them stood and talked.
Han Jian gestured to Sima Yi for the wine jug in his hand, Sima Yi knowingly, asked the guard to hand over the wine glass, Han Jian poured a glass of wine and handed it forward in person, but Su Tingxia did not take it, because his hands were fixed in the shackles, and it was inconvenient for him to drink. Sima Yi handed over the wine glass to Su Tingxia on his behalf, Su Tingxia held the wine glass, but he couldn't bring the wine to his mouth.
"Mr. Su sent to southern Xinjiang, and he came to see him off at this time, Mr. won't blame him for being late, right?" Han Jian said with a smile.
Su Tingxia smiled and shook his head and said, "The prince deigned to come to see him, how can the sinners be virtuous." Now that Su has no relatives and no reason in the world, the prince is here to send it, and Su's life is enough. ”
Han Jian frowned slightly, why did Su Tingxia emphasize that he was unrelated and unreasonable? In fact, Su Tingxia has relatives in his hometown, and it is a big family, it is said that his parents are there, but after his last "violent death", what happened to his relatives, Han Jian did not know much.
Han Jian asked, "Mr. Su has no relatives in his hometown?" ”
Su Tingxia nodded lightly and sighed, "Three years ago...... My relatives have been killed, and I have been back to my hometown for a while, and I have been completely untouched. Cutting the grass and eradicating the roots, they don't want to leave any trouble. ”
Han Jian nodded knowingly, which shows that in order to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, Su Tingxia's parents and relatives in the countryside were killed, and as for who Su Tingxia's relatives in the countryside are now, this is unknown.
Han Jian didn't ask, picked up the wine glass and drank it all, and by the way, asked Sima to step forward to help Su Tingxia drink. Su Tingxia didn't drink it, and asked, "Why doesn't the prince ask who 'they' are?" ”
Han Jian smiled and said, "Being in the imperial court, why do you need to know everything?" ”
Su Tingxia suddenly grinned, his smile was a little sad, and then a little bitter. This smile seemed to cover his whole life, and in the end, the smile never stopped.
"The prince is really a good means." Su Tingxia sighed with a wry smile, "In just one day, the fraud in the examination room was investigated, but it also made Su experience great joy and sorrow in this day. At that time, Su also didn't understand, why didn't the prince find out the case to the end...... Alas! Or Su is too wishful thinking, even if the prince is young, he is not vigorous, in the final analysis, Su is too hasty. ”
Han Jian thought to himself, what is this? A comprehensive summary of the case? Is it to blame him for not investigating the case to the end, or is it that Su Tingxia is complaining here?
In Han Jian's opinion, he did not support Su Tingxia's act of revenge with his own strength. This kind of personal heroism is not advisable in the context of a feudal dynasty. What's even more hateful is that Su Tingxia did not hesitate to pull many innocent people in order to achieve his personal goals. If Ruan Ping hadn't been involved in the case, Han Jian wouldn't have bothered to care about any fraud cases.
Han Jian said in a deep voice: "Mr. Su, forgive me, my position is different, and the scale of doing things is different. I don't think Mr. Su wants to put the Wei Dynasty on the brink of turmoil because of your own selfishness, right? ”
Han Jian thought that Su Tingxia would disagree with him, because Su Tingxia's current expression and attitude were already a little out of control, but he didn't expect Su Tingxia to just nod slightly, and his expression quickly returned to calm.
"What the prince said is very true, in his position, he is planning his affairs. What the prince did is understandable. ”
