Chapter 160: Jumping into the Well
The next day, when the warm sun shone through the imperial palace, Dongzhen's cold body was fished up from the well.
"Ah, it's the medicine palace maid!" "Look at the stiff body, I guess I jumped in the early morning! Hey, at a young age, don't you have to swallow blood if you knock out your teeth? "Hurry up and report to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, something is wrong!" It's bad luck to die early in the morning! ”
The onlookers pinched their noses, shook their heads, and immediately notified the above, and then the strict imperial palace stirred up a small undercurrent.
"Ouch, a medicine has jumped into a well!"
The palace people exchanged heads and whispered, like the noisy crickets in the bushes on a summer night, squirming and noisy in thousands of corners, secretly converging together.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs quickly wrapped the cold body in a mat and transported it out, without notifying anyone, and without splashing the slightest splash, only the old man smoked a hookah, "Dead man!" It's not uncommon to be in the palace! ”
Not uncommon, indeed. No matter which day, the red walls and green tiles bring as many unjust lives as there are ants in the palace that are trampled to death.
What's more, she is an ordinary palace maid, and she was quickly put on top of the errand, as if she had never appeared, and the Internal Affairs Office drew up a "Gong in the middle of the night, her feet slipped, and she fell off the well", and she hastily unveiled it.
Huanghuang Emperor's Palace, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, the days are still like that, no one still remembers a palace maid named "Dongzhen", and she never saw the sun in May again.
And Jade Mountain, Flower and Tree Garden.
Shen Xi read this dream-like name, looked at Chen Su's gaze, and concealed anger: "This is what you said?" Dongzhen is an innocent person, and he has wronged his life. ”
"Isn't it good? Dongzhen is gone, so we have the opportunity to win over Lu Rong, and we have the people who opened the city gate for us on the day of the incident. Chen Su was eating, clearing porridge and side dishes, and he didn't raise his head when he ate.
Shen Xi squeezed out disgust from his nose: "Yes, Xue Yushi is intent on wooing Lu Rong and letting you take full responsibility for this matter!" But you are not so vile as to allow you to waste the lives of innocent people! I'm going to tell Xue Yushi and see what he does with you!" ”
After that, Shen Xi was about to leave, but he paused for a laugh.
It was squeezed out of Chen Su's throat, but because it was too gloomy, it didn't look like a normal laugh: "Despicable? Dare people live like ants, and when they die, they die, shouldn't this be what you, a famous son, said? How to scold me in turn? Oh, is the thief shouting to catch the thief, or is the number of books forgetting the ancestors? ”
"Ridiculous! Famous families are respectful of the virtue of gentlemen, and the younger generations are generous and benevolent! How could he be such a despicable and sinister person in your mouth?! Shen Xi was furious, blushed and frowned, and reprimanded in a fierce voice, "Only people like you are full of bad water!" From the body to the heart, it is like a rat in the sewer, and it smells!! And why do you splash dirty water on my family's head!! ”
Chen Su was still eating. didn't stop chopsticks, but the anger on the tip of his eyebrows rose lightly and turned black: "The virtue of a gentleman, generosity and benevolence?" Shen Xi, Young Master Shen, are you blind? If you pampered brothers are like this, Shengjing's sewers will be fragrant! ”
"Just ordinary people, how dare you defile my family!!"
Shen Xi was furious, his face was red, and he kicked over the table where Chen Su was eating.
It seems that the word "famous" is the root of his life, and anyone who pounces on a little dust can risk his life to seek justice.
Bang dang. Piercing sound. The food table overturned, the broken white porcelain bowl cracked chopsticks, and the soup and water of the meal, spilled all over the ground.
There was tension in the house, and it was about to be closed, and a majestic low voice came from the door: "...... Enough of it? ”
Shen Xi and Chen Su looked at each other, barely suppressed their anger, and clenched their fists: "Lord Xingshou/Xue Yushi." ”
Xue Gaoyan didn't know when he arrived, obviously watching the whole process, his face was gloomy, and he was not angry: "I heard it outside, do you want your brother to watch the joke?" Before the success or failure of the great cause is uncertain, you have started infighting among yourself! ”
Shen Xi and Chen Su stopped at this time, but they still looked at each other and hated each other, and their clenched fists could burst out at any time.
Xue Gaoyan stepped on the mess and coldly locked on Chen Su: "Is what Shen Xi said true?" You hid it from me and used despicable means to harm Dongzhen in vain to win over Lu Rong? ”
Chen Su shrugged: "Betraying the Western Zhou and punishing Zhao Yin is a first-class crime. Where is you, the head of hell, who are qualified, to care about the black and white that has wasted a human life? ”
Xue Gaoyan was stunned. This sounds absurd at first glance, but it is impossible to refute it after hearing it again.
The road has come to this day, and the old people who rebelled against the party in the south, which one is innocent and can believe in benevolence and righteousness?
He Xue Gaoyan is not the first to bear the brunt.
When the three thousand dead emperors have no return in the next year, the sins he bears will already be thousands.
For a long time, Zhuangyuanlang, who was once regarded as the "way of heaven" by the people of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, squeezed a self-deprecating cold smile from his throat: "Heh, what you said is also right...... When I went south, the light of this world and the way back had all been abandoned. ”
Even Shen Xi, who was as angry as Shen Xi, heard that his eyes were out of focus, and his mind was blank for a moment.
He himself is no longer a famous young man with bright eyes in the sun, and where is he qualified to scold the person who has chosen the same path as him, who is soaked in the stinky mud in the sewer.
So the house fell into a sudden stasis.
Chen Su squatted down casually, picked up the rice from the broken porcelain pieces, and stuffed them into his mouth one by one, the dirty, cold rice grains were chewed by him very fragrantly, very seriously.
"Sure enough, it's a subordinate, so vulgar, this can also be eaten?!" Shen Xi glanced at it and subconsciously sneered.
Chen Su used two fingers to pick up the rice and vegetables, put it in his mouth without mind, and finally even crawled to the ground and sucked the broth that fell on the ground with his mouth.
Like a dog.
"Chen Su, I'll ask the brother in the room to cook you another meal...... Not necessarily. Xue Gaoyan couldn't stand it anymore, and persuaded him.
Chen Su raised his eyes and looked at Xue Gaoyan and Shen Xi, even if they had been side by side for more than a few years, there was still a trace of imperceptible but lingering disdain in the corners of their eyes.
It seemed to come from the bones, and he didn't even consciously reveal it, which was keenly captured by Chen Su.
He was all too familiar with that gaze. Now he is estimated to be like a brute, and the beggars by the sewers in Shengjing are afraid that they are more decent than him.
Chen Su grinned: "You, you...... I haven't lived the life of a beast, so what qualifications do you have to scold me Chen Su? ”
At that moment, the May sunlight was extremely cold.
In the corners of the world where even darkness does not shine, sin struggles and becomes mad.
Zhao Xixing stepped on this brilliant and cold sunlight, walked into the imperial study, and knelt down, but his face was a little gloomy.
Zhao Yin, who was criticizing the folds, didn't raise his head, Zhu Bi wrote a book, and snorted coldly: "What's the matter, come to greet your Lao Tzu, and put on a stinky face?" ”
“…… Father, Dongzhen jumped into the well. Zhao Xixing was stunned.
