Chapter 229: Substitute Death

Min Xiaohou and Wei Mao met in the lynching room of the Minhou Mansion, at that time, Wei Mao had just hidden his identity and entered the mansion, and was looking around for news about the Hou Mansion, and was caught by the Hou Mansion's family members and treated as thieves who trespassed into the Hou Mansion. Although the Marquis of Min is the Marquis, because he is a thorn in the eye of Mrs. Minhou and a thorn in the flesh, he is also dragged to the lynching room from time to time to be tortured.

The thugs of Minhou Mansion are divided into two kinds, one is beaten without leaving a trace, and the other is beaten with skin and flesh. They used the first type for Min Xiaohou Ye and the second type for Wei Mao. When the thugs left, Min Xiaohou, who was used to being tortured, walked up to Wei Mao, who was beaten, and asked with concern: "Are you okay?" ”

Wei Mao nodded forcefully.

Min Xiaohou sat down against the wall, looked up at the blood splashing on the opposite wall, and said to Wei Mao: "You just entered the mansion, right?" Didn't the person who led you into the mansion tell you the rules of the Minhou Mansion? ”

"Nope."

"Then he must be trying to harm you." Min Xiaohou smiled: "If you have the life to go out in the future, remember to settle accounts with that person." There are many rules in Minhou Mansion, and one of the most important is that you can't walk around, let alone ask around. If you are sweeping, you are only responsible for sweeping the floor, and if you are serving tea and pouring water, you are only responsible for serving tea and pouring water. In terms of serving people alone, the work of the Minhou Mansion is the best. ”

"You are also a descendant of the Minhou Mansion?" Wei Mao looked at the person sitting beside him, he seemed to be very familiar with this lynching room, even if he had just been tortured so much, he didn't say a word, and he endured it in a daze.

"I'm not a subordinate of Minhou Mansion, but I am a more pitiful person than my subordinates." The little marquis of Min raised his eyes and looked at Wei Mao: "I am the little marquis of the Minhou Mansion." Accidental? Don't you think I'm telling a joke? ”

"Nope." Wei Mao replied honestly: "I have known since I was very young that rich and powerful families are not necessarily happier than children from poor families. Because most of the poor families have family affection, while the rich and noble families care about interests. ”

Wei Mao's unintentional words made Min Xiaohou feel it, and the two of them knew each other like this.

"When did you know that Wei Mao was not from the Minhou Mansion?"

"I knew about it when he came to Minhou Mansion for the second time, because after that time, I specially inquired in the mansion, and there was no such person as him. There are many people in Nanshu who are afraid of the Marquis of Min, and there are many people who send people into the house to inquire in private, but it is none of my business, and I am too lazy to ask. ”

"Since you know that he is not from Minhou Mansion, why do you want to get along with him?"

"That's because I don't have anyone to get along with in Minhou Mansion. Originally, there was a nurse, but she was killed by Mrs. Minhou very early. After the nurse died, I knew that I should keep my distance from everyone, because whoever came close to me would die. He is not from Minhou Mansion, but he will not be implicated by me. ”

"Then when did you know that he was from Yuejiang Tower?"

"The second time I saw him." Min Xiaohou Ye looked at the sky, as if Wei Mao was in the sky: "The first time I saw him in the lynching room, he had a full beard. The second time, he came to me as he was. I never thought that there would be a person in this world who looked so much like me, and if it weren't for the fact that my mother had only given birth to me, I would have even suspected that the two of us might be brothers, or that he was also the child of the Marquis of Min.

He was blunt and told me that he was from Yuejianglou, and he came to Minhou Mansion for no other purpose, just to inquire about the news. I don't care, don't say that he is just here to find out the news of the Minhou Mansion, or to destroy the entire Minhou Mansion, I don't care, because I hope that this Minhou Mansion will fall apart and disappear from the land of Nanshu more than him. ”

"Minhou Mansion is your own home."

"That's not home, it's a cage." Min Xiaohou said lightly. "The two of us are very close and can talk about a lot of things together. Gradually, we became friends. When I was not in good health, he would use my identity to help me suffer. When I encounter news that is difficult to investigate, I will also use my identity as the little marquis of Min to help him. ”

"Since you're a friend, why do you want to watch him die for you?"

"Minhou is dead, and Mrs. Minhou no longer has to worry about anything, and wants to get rid of me. He is sick, the kind that can't be cured, even if he holds on, he won't live long. So, he came to me and said that he was a dead person, and that it was better to use my identity to die for me than to die of illness. I am the little marquis of the Minhou Mansion, even if the death is not clear, the Hou Mansion will still bury me according to the regulations of the little marquis, he said, it can be regarded as the scenery of death. I hesitated, but he was very firm in convincing me. He said that he hoped that I would use his identity to help him see the magnificent rivers and mountains in the world. ”

"If you agree, why do you want to do all these things?"

"Because he is too miserable, and because I found out that even if I become Wei Mao, I am still the little marquis of the Minhou Mansion in my bones, and I can't become the real him. It was only after his death that I really realized that I was still very different from him. He is optimistic, calm, and has boundless enthusiasm and hope for everything. As for me, I have low self-esteem, sensitivity, lack of courage, he can become me, but I will never be able to replace him.

He's dead, the only light in my life is gone, and I don't know what the point of my life is. It wasn't until I saw his body that it occurred to me that he let me live, maybe he gave me my wish. I want revenge, I want to let the Minhou Mansion and those people in Nanshu who have bullied me, underestimated me, and ridiculed me all die. "Central Plains Book Bar

"I can understand you for revenge, but why would you kill those innocent people."

"You mean those people who died in front of Yuejiang Tower, right? In fact, their deaths have nothing to do with Yuejianglou itself. I killed them, firstly, I wanted to use Yuejianglou to create chaos and panic in the capital of Nanshu, and secondly, I used them to practice my hands. Murder, I've thought about it, but I've never done it, and I'm afraid I'll be weak and trembling when dealing with the person I really want to deal with. The third is because they deserve to die, I have seen them bully Wei Mao with my own eyes. Wei Mao's kung fu is not weak, but his personality is too good, like a good old man who will never lose his temper. He died, and I helped him teach lessons to those who had bullied him. ”

As soon as Min Xiaohou finished speaking, he spit out a mouthful of blood "wow". Yan Suwen hurriedly squatted down and helped him take his pulse.

"No need, Gu poison attacks the heart, I'm going to die."

"Do you have any other wishes?" Yan Suwen asked softly, in his opinion, Min Xiaohou is not a person who is extremely evil, he is just living too hard.

"I want to be buried with Wei Mao, I know that I have failed him, I want to go down there and say sorry to him personally, I let him suffer for me in vain and lose his life." Min Xiaohou said, and he was silent.

"Gone." Yan Suwen stretched out his hand and closed his eyes: "If he was born in an ordinary world...... Forget it, I hope that in the next life, he can really be a pair of brothers with Wei Mao, and then be born in an ordinary family and live an ordinary and happy life for a lifetime. ”

Because of being eaten by Gu worms, Min Xiaohou's body quickly collapsed, and it only took a moment to turn into a skin. The skin was lying on the ground softly, and the smile on the corner of his mouth could still be vaguely seen. For him, death may be the best place to return.

"Madam, do you want to bring the little marquis back?"

"Take it back, Wei Mao might want to see him too." Yan Suwen sighed, turned around, walked up to Gu Changfeng, looked up at him, and said, "Hug me, I'm uncomfortable now!" ”

Gu Changfeng did not refuse, and directly reached out and hugged her into his arms. The two people who were intimate didn't feel embarrassed, but the onlookers felt that they didn't see it, and they all turned their backs one by one.

Yan Su asked if he was the person who read Jianglou, and King Dongyang seemed to have only confirmed such a piece of information. It's just, what does it matter, from the bottom of his heart, he and Min Xiaohou are the same kind of people, but what Min Xiaohou wants is for Minhou Mansion to fall apart, but what he wants to do is to make the entire Nanshu royal court fall apart.

Nanshu, from top to bottom, is already terminally ill, if no one does the bad guy who wields a knife and cuts off his arms, Nanshu will only decay by itself.

"Lord Wang, do you remember what you promised me?"

"Madame, please."

"The matter of Yuejianglou, you heard it just now, it was all done by the Marquis of Min. But now that he is dead, and there is no evidence of his death, I can't take him to the Nanshu official office to confess. ”

"This king knows, this king will find a way."

"Thank you, Lord Wang!" Yan Su, who was still throwing himself into her husband's arms just now, said that she was in a bad mood and wanted to hug, but now she was smiling, as if nothing had happened.

Dongyang Wang suddenly felt lucky, glad that such a moody woman was not his sweetheart. His princess, although a little annoying, is straightforward, and he doesn't need to deliberately guess anything. He thought that maybe he should be nicer to her. After all, if you can be good to her, you should try to be good to her, so as not to be like Min Xiaohou, people don't know how to cherish when they are alive, and when they are gone, they say that they think clearly and understand.

Moonset, sunrise.

The white mist that shrouded the capital of Nanshu was also dispersed by the sun. The palace of Nanshu is in a mess, it is said that a team of paper people entered the palace by climbing over the wall with the courage of ten thousand people, and killed all the way to the queen mother's bedroom. If it weren't for the fact that there were many masters in the Queen Mother's Palace, the people would have heard early this morning that in addition to the Minhou Mansion being slaughtered overnight, there would also be news of the death of the Queen Mother.

Although the Queen Mother did not die, people were scared sick by those paper figures. The harem has no leader, so it is naturally a mess. The previous dynasty was not optimistic, the puppet emperor who had just been supported by the queen mother to take the throne, without the queen mother's curtain to listen to the government, was also at a loss, and the courtiers had no choice but to go to the Dongyang palace to implore the king of Dongyang to temporarily manage the government.

After sending off the courtiers, the king of Dongyang summoned the night guards and asked him to go to Yuejianglou to find Yan Su and ask for medicine, asking for medicine that could get rid of the empress dowager's illness.
