Chapter 3: Escape from Death (2)
"What bullshit stuff, old thing, it's enough to live!" The tall entourage suddenly roared, drew out his sword, the sword flashed with cold light, like a bloodthirsty poisonous tongue, the frightened old man shouted for mercy, his head hit the adobe brick and banged, the little woman cried again, very pitiful. This scolding woke Jiang Chong up.
"That's it!" Jiang Chong let out a gloomy whisper, and another word popped out of his mouth: "Reward."
Gao Zhuang's entourage didn't know why, so he had to put the sword into the sheath with an embarrassed face, took out a few pennies from his arms, and threw it in front of the old man. The old man picked up a life, pulled his daughter and kept kowtowing, calling "Xie Junhou", kneeling and pinching the money one by one, just like the low and weak dry grass under the rainstorm, washed by the rain and smiled on the ground.
I don't know when Jiang Chong left, the old man stopped kowtowing, raised his eyes and looked around, slowly helped his daughter up, bent down and patted the mud on her leg for her and said: "Dad is sorry for you, God doesn't open his eyes, let us live and don't give us a way to live, we don't come out, Dad goes to beg for food and doesn't let his daughter suffer this wave!"
The little woman held the pipa, and her eyes were already red again: "My daughter must be a rich and noble person in the future, so as not to let her father be angry." ”
The entourage has been with Jiang Chong for some time, and he has found out his thoughts, it seems that Lord Jiang has no intention of taking people today, so he arranged for a carriage and horse to send him back to his home. Jiang Chong's grade is not high, the mansion is small, but the inside is extremely luxurious, and his wife and concubines are obedient, which is what makes him shrewd. The emperor has not been summoned for three consecutive days, and there is nothing to report at the moment, Jiang Chong is even more worried, as soon as the traitors compete for favor, he is afraid that the emperor will snub him and lose his power. Second, the cool officials have a lot of merit, competing to flatter, and they have been flattering for many days, in case of a secret enemy who puts a cold arrow, he is afraid that his life will not be guaranteed. The more Jiang Chong thought about it, the more anxious he became, the more anxious he became, and he lost his mind, so he took advantage of the deep spring to fall asleep, grabbed the sword, and fell asleep in a daze against the screen.
"Jiang Chong Lao'er, take your life, take your life!" Suddenly, there were several male and female voices that seemed to come from the cracks in the ground, flickering far and near, flickering clear and turbid, and the yin qi was pressing, and I saw a forest white gas slowly rushing open the door, squeaking strangely, an old man seemed to be walking, with dozens of men and women slowly floating, getting closer and closer, and the lights were almost extinguished by the yin wind.
There are assassins! Jiang Chong was shocked, and wanted to draw his sword but couldn't pull it out. Jiang Chong has killed countless people, and he doesn't believe in ghosts and gods the most, even if there are ghosts, he dares to arrest and kill them. Jiang Chong strengthened his courage, grabbed the scabbard and waved wildly, shouting people in his mouth, but he saw that the fog was getting heavier and heavier, and he didn't see anyone coming, so he had to retract his momentum and asked tremblingly: "You... You are... Who is it, to... What to do, no, do you want money, give as much as you want. ”
"Jiang Chong, don't you know me so soon", the old man in the lead had a blurred face, and his voice was gloomy and sad.
When Jiang Chong heard this, he had to take a closer look at him, but he still couldn't see his face clearly, but when he saw his green jade bead black crown, the same black crown dress, and his body shape was very familiar, and then he looked at it, and the gold seal and purple ribbon on his waist suddenly looked like ashes, and he shouted loudly: "You... It's Gongsun... Gongsun He? Aren't you dead, what are you looking for me to do? ”
The man sneered and said, "Finally, it is not in vain to be an official of the same dynasty, it is the old man and the people of the clan." ”
Jiang Chong took a look, and sure enough, there seemed to be Princess Zhuyi, Princess Yangshi, Gongsun Jingsheng, the son of Gongsun He, and Wei Yan, the son of Wei Qing, and others, but they were all vague and extremely mad.
"What do you want?" Jiang Chong was already broken, but he had to ask.
The old man at the head spoke: "The old man knows the truth that the sun is in the middle of the day, and the moon is eclipsed, and he only wants to be a peace officer, he doesn't want to be the prime minister, he only wants to keep the ancestral foundation, but the emperor is difficult for me, that's it, I am the prime minister, and I haven't done anything sorry for you, why do you want to harm me, I'm not angry, and I don't sin to death, pity my clan, more than 100 people, no one left, none of them left!" The old man mourned, hid his face and wept bitterly, his hand was like rotten wood, and the cry was like the north wind breaking through the window, which was bitter and long.
Jiang Chong had already collapsed to the ground, sweating like rain, but he was by no means a person who was willing to be captured, and still said: "It's the emperor of Yang Ling's hero Zhu Anshi, I don't know him, your whole family was wiped out, and it has nothing to do with me, and I hope the prime minister will let me go." ”
"Dare to say that it has nothing to do with you!" The old man suddenly said angrily: "It is clear that you and the evil official Du Zhou are making trouble from it, since I am a ghost, I have seen through the previous life, when I captured the Jiangyang thief Zhu Anshi, you promised his wife and children to worry-free, taught him to play secrets, and told me nonsense, I am loyal to the emperor, how can I witch Gu to him, it is clear that you instructed people to bury under the gallop road, and planted me with blame!" Du Zhou villain, figuring out the intentions, enforcing the law unfairly, fabricating charges, don't you just want to cut off the people around the queen! All of my people are ghosts, thanks to you! If you say that I use witchcraft, I will give him back to you!" As he spoke, he took out a puppet from his sleeve and threw it at Jiang Chong, the puppet was the size of a palm, with an ink-painted nose and eyes, a sad face, and a painful struggle, with the word "Jiang Chong" clearly written on his body.
Jiang Chong was frightened, but he was powerless to dodge, he was hit on the head by a puppet, screamed, suddenly opened his eyes, and found that it was just a nightmare, he still felt frightened, he really had a splitting headache, and his body was also soaked with sweat, and the cold wind swished in through the crack in the door, causing chills all over his body, and his mouth was dry, so he slowly stood up, walked to the side of the long one, grabbed the kettle and wanted to pour water, but the pot was empty, Jiang Chong was furious, threw the kettle to the ground, and roared in his mouth: "Are they all dead!" ”
A few maids appeared out of nowhere, trembling and kneeling in to serve.
It's a pity that the bird-patterned celadon pot, which the small door and small household have never seen, was broken to the ground at this time, and became a pile of clay slag in a moment, becoming worthless. It's really a precious thing, as long as the fate is in the hands of others, no matter how cautious you are, you don't know when it will be shattered.
Jiang Chong didn't feel sorry for a pot, thinking back to that nightmare, he repeated a few words in his heart, "Wu Gu, the emperor, the prince......
"That woman is right, who doesn't know how rich and noble is good, and it is not the emperor's decision to be rich or not, but the emperor cannot always be an emperor, become an immortal, and live forever, how can there be anything, today's emperor will let me live, and tomorrow's emperor will let me die, unless I change to an emperor who can continue to let me live..."Jiang Chong pulled out his sword, looked at the cold front of the sword with cold eyes, and fell into deep thought.
