Chapter 403: It's Time
Chapter 403: It's Time
There are two copies of the will, the first one is the emperor's reward and encouragement to the general Luo Yao, full of flowery words, and when Fang Xie read it out, he felt that his tongue was blooming. Based on this point, Fang Xie had to admire Pei Yan, the waiter of the Yellow Gate, who drafted the will, because Fang Xie would never come up with so many words with similar meanings, and write such a splendid and prosperous will that can be summarized in three sentences.
Three sentences are indeed enough.
First sentence, you have worked hard. In the second sentence, the emperor can trust you. The third sentence is that you have to work hard in the future.
However, a will with such a simple meaning can be written in hundreds of sentences, and almost no of the same words will appear in each sentence, which is a test of skills.
The second will is to crown Luo Yao's son Luo Wen as a general of the five-rank hussars. This title is actually similar to Fang Jie's Ranger General, both of them are fictitious positions and have no real power. Before Fang Xie came to Yongzhou, he wanted the emperor to give Luo Wen a real shortage, but the emperor was too stingy and didn't agree.
is also a positive five products, a general is far more pleasing than a hussar general.
However, for Luo Wen, this is a good thing after all, even if this is a false position, but with this false position, Luo Yao can arrange a military position for him openly, and the false position will become a real shortage. So Rowan was quite happy, and he felt a little more pleasing to the eye when he looked at Fang Jie.
Zhong Bo said that this person can't move now, and Qin Cha's death in Yongzhou has too much impact on Luo Yao. Rowan himself didn't understand this, he was just resentful.
The whole process of proclamation is actually very short, much shorter than the time to prepare. After that, Fang Xie had to go to the Yamen, the governor of Yongzhou Pingshangdao, to announce the decree, and Luo Qiu was already waiting there. Luo Yao and his family sent Fang Xie out of the door, and did not return until the Qincha team disappeared into the street.
The last one to turn around and walk back was the Chu family.
"You come with me."
Luo Yao's footsteps paused slightly, and after glancing at Luo Wen, he said four words coldly. Rowan's face changed suddenly, and the fear in his eyes overflowed irrepressibly. He hung his head like a child and followed Luo Yao into the yamen, not even daring to come out.
"Uncle Zhong, you come along."
Luo Yao glanced at Zhong Bo, and Zhong Bo immediately lowered his head.
The Southwest Garrison Mansion occupies a small area, with several rows of green and green tiled houses behind the yamen in front. It was a resting place for the people on duty, most of whom were scribes. Because he rarely comes to the Southwest Garrison Mansion, to be honest, many of these scholars in the yamen, Luo Yao, can't name them.
He went into the back yard and ordered everyone to get out.
Standing under the banyan tree in the backyard, Luo Yao's face became more and more cold.
"Get on your knees"
He said two words coldly, and Rowan immediately knelt down with a thud.
Luo Wen's forehead touched the cold and hard bluestone slab, and the sweat quickly wet the slate. Because his head hangs very low, his ass appears to be pouting high, and his posture looks a little awkward. It wasn't just him who knelt down, but also Zhong Bo, who was carrying a steel sword box on his back.
"Where's the medicine?"
Luo Yao asked.
Luo Wen raised his head and looked at Luo Yao, and quickly lowered his head: "Father...... The medicine has been ruined, Uncle Zhong...... Zhong Bo can testify. Before the monk left, the child destroyed the medicine. ”
"Really?"
Luo Yao asked.
Uncle Zhong's shoulders trembled, and his voice was a little hoarse: "General Hui...... Be...... It's ruined. ”
Luo Yao nodded, walked slowly to Luo Wen's side, and asked in a low voice, "Who gave you the courage to open the backyard door?" ”
Rowan's body trembled and replied, "Child...... The child just felt that his father was not in the house, and I should ...... I should share your worries, I'm an adult, it's time to do something for my father......"
Syllable!
Before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by a loud slap.
Soon, Rowan's face was swollen on one side. This slap was slapped very hard, and half of his face quickly changed color, from the miserable white just now to swollen red.
"Worry?"
Syllable!
The second slap followed, and the corners of Rowan's mouth were fanned, and blood flowed out immediately.
"Are you sharing the worries, or are you causing trouble for me? When you see people from the Buddha sect in private, you are getting bolder and bolder. If you can't be put in this general's mansion anymore, you can get out of nowhere. As I have said, my words are not to be questioned or disobeyed by anyone in the house, including you. If you don't open the backyard door except me, have you forgotten all about it? ”
"The child doesn't dare, the child really just wants to help his father do something."
"General, it's the old slave's fault, don't punish the young master anymore."
Zhong Bo repeatedly kowtowed and pleaded.
Luo Yao snorted coldly: "Uncle Zhong, he was raised by you since he was a child, and I know that you treat him as if you were your own relatives." You are the old man next to me, and Luo Wu also liked to play with you when he was a child...... You should know what arrogance and indulgence can make a person become! ”
He kicked Luo Wen over: "I don't care what you do outside on weekdays, because those are trivial matters, as long as it doesn't involve officials and doesn't matter about human life, I don't bother to ask." If my Luo Yao's son is honest like a literati who can only talk about people outside, he will not be like a word! But you should know what the bottom line is...... Your eldest brother Luo Wu will die for Lu, you don't know what Lu Dao is? ”
He kicked Rowan's body out of the way again, slamming it into the banyan tree.
"Keeping you is also a bane, and today I will kill you with my own hands, lest you be killed in the future!"
He walked to Luo Wen, who was lying under the tree and vomiting blood, and Uncle Zhong knelt and climbed forward a few steps and kowtowed to plead. Luo Yao's face was still cold, and he pointed at Luo Wen and scolded: "Such an idiot, what is the use of me keeping him except for harming his family?" ”
At this time, Luo Wen laughed bitterly, he spat a mouthful of bloody spit, and roared loudly at Luo Yao: "Kill!" I'm not the first one you killed anyway! ”
Luo Yao's hand, which had already been raised, froze in midair, and the expression on his face immediately froze.
……
……
Chu stood outside the moon gate, watching coldly as her husband beat his son to vomit blood. She didn't say a word the whole time, but the chill in her husband's eyes was too cold. Chunlan looked at her face and asked in a low voice if she wanted to persuade the general, Chu shook her head and said that he killed his own son, and after saying this, he turned around and left.
Luo Yao glanced back at his wife, and his face was also very cold.
"Uncle Zhong, you come with me."
Luo Yao ignored Luo Wen, who was sitting under the banyan tree, and left the courtyard with Uncle Zhong. After they left, Qiu Ju and Dongmei walked in quickly and helped Luo Wen up.
"Young master, why bother, you also know the temper of the general of the Dao Dao, the more you talk back, the more angry he becomes."
Qiu Ju took out a handkerchief to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth for him, and his tone was full of distress.
The four of them have a deep affection for Luo Wen, when Chu gave birth to Luo Wen, his body was very weak, and the four of them have always taken turns to take care of the child, so it can be said that the four of them watched Luo Wen grow up. It is only in front of Rowan that these four women will have some human anger.
"How can I not know the truth?"
Luo Wen took Qiu Ju's handkerchief and wiped the corners of his mouth: "But sometimes I think that it is better to be killed by him sooner than to face a cold father every day like this, and live in fear all day long." ”
"Young master, this is serious."
Dongmei held his hand and said: "The general's temper is like this, since the death of the eldest young master, his temperament has become more and more withdrawn, even the lady has tried her best not to provoke the general, young master, you have known these things since you were a child, and you are getting older and more and more like to drill the horns." Even if the general says some cruel words and makes some ruthless moves, isn't this huge family business all purchased by the general for you? As long as you don't disobey his words, wouldn't it be better to live a good life? ”
"Easy to say......"
Luo Wen said angrily: "But I'm a man, I'm so old that I don't want to be arranged like a child every day!" I also have to do my own thing, I have to have my own achievements, not wait to take everything from him! From childhood to adulthood, he didn't allow me to touch military affairs, and I was still not allowed to touch government affairs, have you ever seen the son of a great general so aggrieved? ”
"I never thought I'd rely on him for the rest of my life."
Luo Wen grabbed the pill in his cuff: "I have to rely on myself!" ”
Following the path in the backyard, Luo Yao walked slowly.
"Uncle Zhong, tell me the truth, has the pill that Shi Yuan gave to Zixu ruined? This matter is not trivial, you should know that there are some things in the Buddha Sect that you can't touch. ”
"It should be ruined."
Uncle Zhong bowed his head and said: "When Shi Yuan handed over the things to the young master, the old slave wanted to stop him, but the old slave's cultivation was not enough, and Shi Yuan controlled his body and couldn't speak...... The old slave has been entrusted by the general...... However, after Shi Yuan left, I repeatedly asked the young master to destroy the elixir in the bag, and the young master hesitated for a while and agreed. I watched him throw the bag into the kitchen stove and burn it......"
Luo Yao snorted: "Shi Yuan's cultivation as a Buddha Sect Heavenly Venerable is naturally good, you don't have to blame yourself if you are not as good as him." Zixu, you continue to take care of him, and you must not let him have anything to do with the people of the Buddha Sect. I've lost Ah Wu, and I can't go without a son...... His free spirit is too strong and hard, I wanted to polish his edges and corners, but now you look at his appearance, and he looks more and more like Ah Wu back then......"
"Don't worry, general, the young master is measured, not a child."
"Hmm"
Luo Yao responded, was silent for a while, and said, "You go and call Zhan Yao in a while, I have something to explain to him." And also...... From today onwards, you will keep an eye on Zixu and don't allow him to go to Qincha for trouble. ”
"Whoa"
Uncle Zhong answered.
Luo Yao paused and asked, "How profound is Shi Yuan's cultivation in your opinion?" ”
"Old slave...... Can't tell. ”
Zhong Bo shook his head: "There are too many differences, and the old slave can't feel how deep Shi Yuan's strength is." ”
"You let Xing Tu find Shi Yuan in a while, and I'll see him in the study tonight. Let me accompany me to the visitor, and let no one come near the study tonight without my order. ”
……

The Governor's Yamen is a bit larger than the Southwest Garrison Mansion and looks magnificent. The stone lion at the door showed its fierce face with its teeth and claws, and the officials wearing blue coats outside the door and red robes inside stood in two rows, looking extremely solemn and solemn. Luo Qiu and all the officials of the Governor's Yamen were waiting outside the door, waiting eagerly.
When Fang Jie's carriage was halfway there, his heart suddenly moved, and he opened the curtain of the carriage and looked out, and then saw the man wearing a hat and a white robe in the crowd. The monk slowly raised his head to reveal his face under the hat, looked at Fang Xie and smiled and then said a word with his mouth without making a sound.
"It's time for you to choose!"
This is what he said, and Fang Jie's heart sank violently.
