The faint light of the kerosene lamp shone on Jian Chong's face, and his face turned a little yellow. Bedridden for more than two months, Jian Chong was anxious and worried, and his appearance was like a withered tree. Jian Qing looked at her father, feeling a little sad, she regretted forcing her father so much, and she knew what her father was worried about, but once many things happened, choosing to escape was not a good way out. Only by facing it and moving forward bravely can we finally solve the problem.

"What do you mean?" Jian Chong was not only worried, but also relieved that the child had grown up. He had now forgotten that the child in front of him was not a son, but a daughter, and he wanted to hear the child's opinion.

"At the door, the child has seen King Yan. King Yan said that Xu Duo had been trying his best to rescue his father after he was demoted. Now, whether there is Xu Duo in that list or not, the child wants to go to the capital, if Xu Duo is in trouble and innocent, the child tries his best to help in order to repay the kindness. The emperor wants to slaughter heroes, whether it is to pave the way for the future grandson to succeed to the throne or to lie on the couch and not allow others to sleep soundly, there are great disadvantages for the country and the people. ”

Jian Chong closed his eyes, "After all, you are just a young man, for the father, I ask you, the emperor sits on the dragon chair, and His Majesty's courtiers are loyal and treacherous, has the emperor ever been clear?" ”

"The emperor was born in cloth, self-made, and his eyes are like torches, how can he not distinguish whether the courtiers are loyal or traitorous. But Father, in this life, it is not strange for a person to defeat others, and only those who defeat themselves are truly great. How many emperors and generals have been in ancient and modern times, but none of them have been able to be called holy, why is this? It was very unfilial to question her father like this, and she hurriedly said, "Only Confucius and Mencius are called saints, because they have defeated not others but themselves throughout their lives. But the essence is the only one, and it is allowed to cling to the middle'. ”

Jian Qing raised his head, "Father, the prince died early, the grandson is young, the emperor is now slaughtering the hero group, ready to pave the way for the grandson, there are no more people in the world in his heart, there are only the Zhao family." ”

"What can you do when you go?" Jian Chong inevitably regretted in his heart, this child is a daughter, but unfortunately not a son.

"The child hasn't thought about it yet. The child only knows that no matter how much he can do, he can't stay out of it. The child also wants to solve the matter in front of him first. As for what the future holds, we will talk about it tomorrow. Jian Qing lowered her head and said, such a big game of chess, she is not alone in the final say, no matter what, she has to go to the capital.

It is a happy thing to pursue one's ideals wholeheartedly. Although time and space change, her pursuit will never change, for her, the greater the test, the more she can achieve her dreams.

It is her bounden duty and obligation to uphold fairness and justice.

At this moment, Jian Qing is especially nostalgic for the era in which she once lived, it was the real common people who broke the law and the common people were guilty of the same crime, no class of people had privileges, and everyone was equal before the law.

In the absolute monarchy system, if the imperial power and the relative power game can be balanced, the country will have long-term stability. And now, it is obvious that the imperial power is overbearing and weakened, so that the emperor will do whatever he wants, and he will inevitably have a disaster in the future.

Early the next morning, Jian Qing wrapped her shabby sheepskin jacket and came to Li Shi's house.

Li Shi's body was carried back last night, and the "tigress" Li Zhang did not let Li Shi into the house, but placed it under the eaves of the corridor in the courtyard.

Hearing that someone was coming, Li Zhang's came out of the house for a while, and Jian Qing saw that she was wearing a peach-colored silk jacket, a green and gold embroidered cotton skirt, and a pair of red shoes embroidered with mandarin ducks and butterflies on her feet.

"Li Shi, you damn short-lived ghost, you are dead, how can you teach us orphans and widows? Can't you live by looking at people's faces every day? Just look at the face, how will you live this day in the future? Li Zhang hugged the pillar under the eaves of the corridor, crying to death, her bulging belly touched the pillar from time to time, and Jian Qing sweated for it.

The mother-in-law was sweeping the floor, and waited for Li Zhang's to cry for a while, and then came over to help her, "Madam, don't cry, there is still a small one in the stomach." If the master is aware of the underground, he will not let his wife cry like this! ”

Li Zhang quickly put away his tears, wiped his face with a silk handkerchief, twisted his waist, and entered the house with his support for the door frame.

Jian Qing stepped forward and asked her mother-in-law, "Mrs., is this about to give birth, right?" ”

"It's been more than eight months, and it's time to give birth when I see it, but who knows that the master is gone, this child is also miserable, and he can't see his father when he lands."

Jian Qing felt a little sad in her heart, she handed a tael of silver to her mother-in-law, "A little heart, it's really a family difficulty, and I can't help more!" She paused, "Li Bantou finally managed to get to the position of the current team leader, who knew that it was pitiful to leave his wife and the child in his belly behind." ”

The mother-in-law first laughed so much that she couldn't see her eyes, and after listening to Jian Qing's words, she wiped two tears, "Brother is right, my wife is also a hard worker!" ”

After speaking, the mother-in-law hurriedly held it with both hands and stuffed it into her arms.

Jian Qing wanted to put a pillar of incense on Li Shi, but the Li family didn't even erect a spirit card, nor did they put a brazier or other utensils that could be used to burn paper, let alone incense paper candles.

The corpse was placed under the eaves of the corridor, Jian Qing didn't know when the Li family was going to mourn, Li Shi was alive, she looked down on Li Shi, but Li Shi died because of her, so it is really unclear what fate is.

Jian Qing waited at the door for a while, Niu Er came with someone from the fast class, and when he saw Jian Qing, he greeted him from afar, "Jian Qing, why are you here so early?" ”

After Li Shi died, it was most obvious that Niu Er had benefited. But with a concise understanding of Niu Er, Niu Er should not have the strength to kill Li Shi with such an ingenious method. Moreover, the murderer should have been aimed at Jian Qing at the beginning, and the real target was not Li Shi.

"I'm waiting for Second Brother Niu here." Jian Qing greeted her, she glanced at the officials on the fast shift, and as everyone entered Li Shi's house again, when Li Zhang came out, she changed into a plain and elegant dress, but in fact, she just covered a slightly old moon-white gown outside, wrapped her head with a strip of cloth of the same color, and raised her big belly, crying hoarsely in front of her husband's brothers before his death.

"You short-lived ghost, who murdered you? You kicked your legs to death, but you gave up your good to others, who still accepts your love? She cried again, "Who is the kind and good man these days?" When you were alive, you ate you, took you, and they all said that they were good for you, and now, when you open your eyes, who remembers your goodness? ”

The mother-in-law also knelt beside her and pulled Li Zhang's family, "Don't cry, Mrs., everyone is planned, don't say it if you have it in your heart, turn around and let people worry about you and the brother in the belly, and the master can't go at ease." ”
