Twenty-three (5)
In the middle of the night, the heavy rain turned into light rain, but the cold air was pressing, and the cold wind mixed with the sound of rain made a rustling sound under the eaves. The study room of the main house was brightly lit, and Su Shengbai was standing by the desk with his hands in his hands, concentrating on calligraphy. There was a sound of footsteps outside the courtyard, and soon someone shouted "report", he raised his head, saw that it was He Chaoming, and asked, "How is it?" ”
He Chaoming said respectfully: "Our people are ready, and they will do it when the train arrives at the next station." ”
Su Shengbai sighed, his gaze turned cold, "This is the last chance to make a move, and we must not let them get out of the south alive." After a pause, he said: "Those who do things remember to clean up, and I don't allow Lao Qi to hear any wind and grass there." ”
He Chaoming has always known Su Shengbai's personality, but he couldn't help but shudder when he heard this at the moment, but he still answered yes. Su Shengbai put down the brush and asked again: "Is there any whereabouts of the third child?" ”
He Chaoming nodded, "The third prince is still with Lu Yuping, and as soon as the peace treaty between the two parties is signed, Lu Yuping has no fear and has already set off for the border." ”
Su Shengbai snorted coldly, "This lost dog!" I'll keep him for a few days! On weekdays, it's just a matter of doing something unsightly behind my back, but now it's openly rebelling against me! What a bastard! ”
He Chaoming might as well listen to him mention this stubble, but he didn't dare to speak. Su Shengbai felt that the things Su Ziyu did were disgraceful, and he didn't want to mention it even if he was angry, so he just waved his hand, "Get ready, Lao Qi will be back soon." ”
He Chaoming retreated, but saw Han Wan'er walking over slowly with an umbrella, and the two of them touched each other, and then passed by. Han Guan'er pushed the door in, and saw Su Shengbai sitting at the desk drinking tea, and couldn't help asking, "Why hasn't the old man rested so late?" What about Sister Xi'er? ”
Su Shengbai put down the teacup and said with a smile: "I don't like that stupid girl, so I sent her away early." ”
After a pause, "It's you, a ghost, why did you come here so late?" ”
Han Wan'er knew that he was acting, so he said: "I went to bed early, but who thought that I had a nightmare just now and couldn't sleep, so I thought about going out for a walk, and when I saw the light in the study, I came in to have a look." ”
Su Shengbai got up and walked over and asked, "Oh? What nightmares are you doing? ”
Han Wan'er stroked her chest, "I dreamed of the sixth sister, she stared at me and asked me why, and she still pinched my neck......" Before she finished speaking, she caught a glimpse of Su Shengbai's cold eyes, she paused, and then said calmly: "These dreams were originally my own scare, and I shouldn't have told the old man." ”
Su Shengbai glanced at her and smiled again, "How dare she stare at you and question you?" Wasn't that shabby enough? Adultery alone is enough to soak the pig cage, she actually shamelessly conceived a sinful seed, I let her die with dignity, it is already benevolent and righteous, she still dares to dream to you, it is really the opposite. ”
What he said was ordinary, but he listened to Han Wan'er's ears, unwarranted fear. She was not a stupid person, she knew that Su Sheng had something in the vernacular, but at this moment, she had to pretend that she didn't understand, and just let the little girl's coquettishness come out, "Isn't it, the sixth sister will end up like that if she is not satisfied!" What could be better than staying by the old man's side? ”
As she spoke, she giggled. Su Shengbai stroked her hand and said, "It just so happens that you are here, follow me to the main hall, and the seventh will come back today." ”
Han Wan'er pretended to be surprised, "Seven Shao?!" ”
Su Shengbai glanced at her meaningfully, she walked behind and took Su Shengbai's coat and put it on him, and said softly: "It's cold outside, wear more clothes." ”
The two of them opened the door and walked out, the rain under the eaves was like a waterfall, the courtyard was brightly lit, and a whole row of garrison stones were guarded like statues. Han Guaner walked out with Su Shengbai, the car was already waiting outside, the main hall was not far from the main house, but Su Shengbai was getting older, and he never wanted to take one more step when traveling, and it was such a rainy night, and it was even more difficult to walk.
The other side saw that the messenger came to report that the seventh young man had returned home. Su Shengbai was not as calm as before, but he was very pleased, hurriedly got into the car, and went to the main hall at a gallop.
When the train entered Jinling Station, the rain had already lightened, and because it was a special train, the whole carriage was very quiet. Seeing the train slowly stopping, Lin Ning, who was guarding outside the carriage, glanced out, and saw rows of garrisons guarding outside, and in the distance, there were three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry tightly controlled.
He withdrew his gaze, knocked on the door of the carriage, and called Qishao. Pushing the door in, he saw that Su Huiyi was resting with his eyes closed, and he lowered his voice, "Qishao, it's time to Jinling." ”
Su Huiyi only felt dizzy, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that the lights outside were bright, and the rain curtain was like a tent woven by a beaded curtain.
He was very weak, and he had just taken medicine, and his drowsiness made him dizzy. All the way off the train, the attendants and officers were busy holding up umbrellas for him, and the rain fell lightly, weaving a thin curtain like smoke, like grass growing in early spring, and like soft feathers.
The sky was white, and the tall buildings in the distance loomed, and he couldn't help but speed up his pace when he thought of Shen Qiangrose. With martial law already under fire on the streets, the car sped past and soon returned to the Overseer's Palace.
The vermilion lacquer gate was open, and the red lantern at the door was also bright and clear. The car turned a few corners and said respectfully: "Qishao, the handsome man is waiting for you in the main hall." ”
Although Su Huiyi is like an arrow, he has not returned for a long time, and according to the rules of the Su family, he naturally has to meet the elders first. The rain was continuous, covering the huge Overseer's Mansion in a hazy way, but fortunately there were lights everywhere, but the cold rain was dashing, reflecting in such a large mansion, it could not help but give birth to a feeling of gloom and sadness.
Until the main hall, Su Huiyi got out of the car and was surrounded by a group of people into the main hall. I saw Han Wan'er standing up from the sofa, his face was pale, he looked lost and depressed, and muttered, "Seven Shao." ”
Su Huiyi nodded slightly, walked towards Su Shengbai, and called his father. Su Shengbai saw that his cheeks were thin and his complexion was also very bad, so he said, "This injury can be regarded as making you have a long memory!" ”
His demeanor softened a little, and he continued: "Some things have happened in the house during the time you left, I am old, and many things are more than enough but not enough, old seven, don't blame me." ”
Su Huiyi was stunned when he heard this, and his intuition was related to Shen Qiangrose, and he asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Su Shengbai didn't want to elaborate, and frowned, "She didn't do it herself!" When he had said this, he walked out. Han Wan'er glanced at Su Huiyi and hurriedly chased him out.
Su Huiyi said angrily: "What about people? He asked, already walking out with a bad face. Bumped into Su Qingyang walking over leisurely, "Seventh, seventh, your life is really big, you can escape from death!" ”
Su Huiyi was anxious at the moment, glanced at him coldly, and walked out quickly. Su Qingyang, who was behind him, said: "Rose, this girl is very bold, not only killed the sixth aunt, but also eloped with that little young master Qiao after your whereabouts are unknown." Unexpectedly, the car exploded halfway through, and both people died. Seventh, what do you think this is......
Before he finished speaking, Su Huiyi had already punched him in the face, this punch used a lot of force, he immediately staggered and fell on the bluestone slab, but he didn't move, just sneered and said: "Old Seven, I really didn't think that you have today, but it's just a woman?" Is it worth it? ”
Su Huiyi knew that he was deliberately provoking him, rushed up and grabbed him by the neck, and punched him hard, "Did you do it?!" ”
Su Qingyang also grabbed him by the collar and said angrily: "I wish I did it!" Lao Qi, you are so smart, how can you not know who did it. ”
The light rain fell on Su Huiyi's face like silk, his lips trembled slightly, and his face was pale and bloodless, like the lychee jelly on the table. It is like a flooded porcelain enamel, silently stunned at this time, and the eyes like a deep pool are like a number of dry deserts, giving birth to a lonely grass without a single grass.
His old wound had not healed, and he was suddenly stimulated like this, his chest rose and fell, and he couldn't help coughing low, Lin Ning held an umbrella for him, "Qishao, your injury hasn't healed yet......"
Su Huiyi looked at Su Qingyang and said, "Second brother, the matter has come to this, you might as well tell me what you want?" ”
His original heroic spirit has been sharpened over the years, and his eyebrows have become more and more compelling. When he looks at people coldly like this, he has a kind of ruthlessness in killing and decisiveness. Su Qingyang smiled, "What do you mean by that?" I'll tell you the truth, the old man didn't let me do it this time, so I don't know if Shen Qiangrose is dead. ”
Su Huiyi seemed to have received a blow, he was not a person who knew how to make a mess, but at the moment his mind was mixed up, and he couldn't figure out a clue, the light rain fell gracefully and miserably, and it was hazy and hazy in front of him. It's obviously a spring drizzle, and it's a cold winter.
He slowed down for a while before he said, "Second brother, you and I have been brothers for so many years, I know what kind of person you are. I know better what you're thinking! ”
He suddenly let go of his hand, turned around and walked out, and looked at the old house, which was pitch black, with a long bluestone road on the front side, and Biwa Zhu eaves on both sides, deep and dark, and unprovoked.
That kind of dazed attack came to him, and he said, "Let He Chaoming come to see me immediately." After a pause, he commanded, "The old man is now old this year, it's time to retire, ask Mr. Qin and a few staff members to draft a manuscript and send it to the whole country, and the old man should also abdicate." ”
The light rain was like silk, lightly hitting his cheeks, soft and thin, with a hint of itching, but in such a broken night, the lights under the corridor were faintly bright, like a lonely lamp in an ancient temple, cold and sad.
Everything is getting tough.
