Chapter 121: The Emperor's Mind (7)

Jiang Jie saw his childhood self again. The small body, dressed in satin cotton clothes, embroidered with a little tiger with teeth and claws, bright colors, exquisite embroidery, is the handicraft of the mother.

He was lying alone on the steps at the edge of the courtyard, fiddling with his newfound objects.

The maidservant beside him has been dismissed at some point, and he is immersed in his own world and does not know it.

"Ah Jie~"

Hearing someone call him, he raised his head, and when he saw someone coming, he immediately got up and called sweetly, "Auntie!" Erniang! ”

The eldest lady came slowly, handed him a beautiful small wooden box, and smiled gently, "Open it and take a look, do you like it!" ”

"Don't take it!" Jiang Jie stretched out his hand and wanted to knock off the small wooden box, but he passed through it again and stumbled a few times.

The little Jiang Jie had already accepted the wooden box and opened the lid, and inside was a small wooden sword with exquisite workmanship. Jiang Jie's face was full of surprise, and he sincerely thanked the eldest lady, "I like it!" Thank you, Auntie! “

"Ah Jie is a child after all!" The second lady covered her lips and smiled, beckoned to Jiang Jie pointedly, and said, "Come, Erniang hug!"

The little child was held in the arms of the second lady, intently fiddling with the new toy in her arms, listening to the words of the eldest lady, "Ah Jie, I heard that your mother saved another person?" ”

"Nope! Don't say it! Jiang Jie roared, and the remorse hidden in his heart filled his heart again.

"Hmm!" Xiao Jiang waved his wooden sword without raising his head, and replied casually without thinking, "A man covered in blood!" He didn't notice the slightly pitiful smile of the woman beside her.

The screen jumps abruptly.

A group of soldiers in iron armor rushed into the general's mansion and searched the whole mansion for a long time, but it seemed to be fruitless, and finally stopped in the center of the courtyard and refused to collect the troops and leave.

The eldest lady stood not far away, her dignified face was full of smiles, and she said with a false persuasion, "For the safety of the General's Mansion, I will honestly hand over the people!" ”

"yes!" The second lady supported the body of the weak willow and the wind, and came with an exaggerated and aggrieved expression, as if she was greatly frightened, "The assassination of the imperial court official is a serious crime, how can Your Majesty spare it!" This matter is very important, if the general's mansion is implicated, the consequences are unimaginable! ”

"It's hard to be someone... You want to use the life of the whole house to save an outsider!? When she said the last sentence, the second lady squinted the corner of her eyes and focused her gaze on the woman in front of her who was hugging Xiao Jiangjie.

The woman's waist was straight, her lower lip was bitten, and she hugged Xiao Jiangjie in her arms without saying a word.

Xiao Jiang Jie shrank in his mother's arms, bursting into tears, obviously frightened. He pointed to the eldest lady, her little face was covered with tears, and she cried, "Liar! Big liar! ”

The eldest lady wiped the non-existent dust on her face with a handkerchief, and chuckled, "Ah Jie, the eldest lady is thinking about the overall situation of the General's Mansion, look at you child!" ”

"The concubine is waiting for the general to return home!" The woman who became the target of everyone hid the panic in her eyes and looked towards the door of the mansion, "Everything is up to the general!" The general spoke, and the concubine had nothing to say! ”

The maidservant Ah Luo, who was standing beside the woman, trembled all over at the moment, like a frightened bird, and her face was full of horror.

"Huh? Do you still want to wait for the general to call the shots? The second lady smiled contemptuously, "The general has an important matter to discuss with the prefect today, how can there be such a trivial matter as air traffic control?!" If the general wants to protect you, why don't you show up at this time? ”

The Prefect... It is the father of the Great Lady! The woman's face turned pale suddenly, and when she saw the second lady staring at Ah Luo very firmly, she understood everything in an instant-they already knew everything, and they deliberately supported the general, just to convict her at this time and let her go to prison!

This matter involves the face of the royal family, even if it is only an insignificant corrupt official who died, but in the imperial city, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, how can the emperor allow such an uncontrollable thing to happen!

Once the charges are confirmed, there is no possibility of overturning the case!

Sure enough, when she said this, the second lady said softly, "I see, the third sister hasn't understood it at this time-your charges have already been confirmed..." Is that right? ”

When Ah Luo heard this, her face immediately turned as white as paper, and she knelt down with a "bang", trembling like chaff, her words were confused, and she begged again and again, "Please forgive Mrs." Ask the lady for forgiveness! The slave doesn't want to die, the slave doesn't want to die yet! ”

"Ah Luo," the second lady stepped forward, lifted Ah Luo's chin, forced her to look directly into her eyes, and said with pity, "It's okay to hand it over!" Just an outsider. ”

"There are also 10,000 taels of bounty, which can ensure that you will be prosperous and rich for the rest of your life!"

Jiang Jie stared at the maid who had taken care of him since he was a child, his eyes were red, and he watched her slowly stand up and walk to the small firewood room next to the back kitchen......

"Bad guys! You're all bad guys! Xiao Jiang Jie cried and wanted to pounce and bite the servant girl who was usually a big sister, and wanted to kick the eldest mother and second mother who were respected on weekdays, but he was held in his arms by his mother and couldn't move.

The mother bent down and hugged Xiao Jiangjie, tears were already drawn in her eyes, but with a gentle smile on her face, she comforted, "It's okay... It's okay... Don't be afraid! ”

The scene he had experienced was once again vividly displayed in front of him, Jiang Jie only felt that his chest was swollen, and a earth-shaking pain stirred up in his mind, as if it was about to explode, so he had to call out in a lost voice-

"Mother!"

…

"Mother!"

Xiao Jiang Jie sat up from the bed, and before he had time to wipe the tears on his face, he climbed out of bed and ran out of the room with a "pop".

I didn't see my mother, but I bumped into the eldest lady-

The usually gentle and dignified woman, but at this moment, in the eyes of Xiao Jiang Jie, she was as vicious as a snake and scorpion, and when she saw him, she evoked a smile of unknown meaning, "Ah Jie is still looking for her mother!" She got into the prisoner's car early in the morning, and when she looked at the hour, she was already about to ask about the beheading! ”

"No, it won't!" The little child shook his head, his mind spinning wildly, and then muttered, "Yes! I'm going to find Daddy! He must have a way! ”

Xiao Jiang Jie's tears kept sliding down his face, and he wanted to turn around and run out, but he was pulled by the woman in front of him!

"It's useless!" The woman deliberately covered her lips and smiled proudly, "Secretly hiding a wanted criminal, that's a capital crime, the third sister is really miserable..."

"No!" Xiao Jiangjie bit the woman's hand fiercely, so painful that she didn't finish her words, waving and shaking off his teeth.

Freed from the woman's restraints, he pulled his legs and ran out, all the way through the corridor to the study.

The father in armor was sitting in the middle of the study, and the little child hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed to his father, "Dad! Please! Save your mother! Father!!! ”

"Ah Jie!" General Jiang raised his head, looked at the child who was kowtowing and bleeding, and said softly, "Get up!" ”

"No!! Dad! Please, save Auntie! ”

"Your mother has sinned! Capital crime! The father was suddenly furious, stood up and picked him up, and said solemnly, "I can't save it!" ”

Those three words were like a huge thunder, coldly slashing into his ears. Xiao Jiang Jie's heart was broken, he didn't see the tears in the corners of his father's eyes and the pain in his eyes, he turned around and ran out, "You don't go!" I'll go! ”

"Jie'er!"

As soon as the man stepped out of the room, he carried him back and slashed him with a knife in the back of his neck. As soon as his eyes went dark, he fainted.

The little Jiang Jie in the picture fainted, but Jiang Jie clearly saw his father's heartbreak and pain this time.

The man, who seemed to have always been strong, gently hugged his little self in his arms, tears raining down, choked up. The brave and unrivaled burly man on the battlefield, like an ordinary person at this moment, hugged his child, crying helplessly, crying and crying, "Jie'er! It's useless to be a dad! I can't save it! Dad can't save it!!!! The emperor's order is difficult to disobey, how can my father use hundreds of people in the general's mansion, especially your life to make a bet! ”

"Your mother won't let me save !! Dad can't save !! Can't be saved! ”

……

"Smack!"

A tear overflowed his eyes......

Consciousness seems to be far away, and gradually comes back again.

A faint exclamation came from his ears——。

"He's awake..."
