155. Facts
"How much do you know?" Song Hong asked tentatively.
Song Wencai sneered, "It's come to this time, and my father still doesn't plan to tell the truth?" Does the son have to wait until the moment the head hits the ground to know why he died? ”
"It doesn't have to be that far!" Song Hong said very unconfidently, obviously even he didn't believe it, he didn't believe it, how could Song Wencai believe it?
"How long will my father keep it hidden? Do you still fantasize about being able to hide it from everyone? Can't hide it, father! Song Wencai begged bitterly, "Even Xu Shu knows, who else do you expect to hide?" ”
Song Hong was taken aback, "What did she tell you?" At this time, he couldn't bother to ask his son when he had seen Xu Shu.
Song Wencai shook his head, "She didn't tell me anything!" She asked me to ask you, father! ”
"She didn't want to help the Song family because of this!" Song Hong suddenly realized that he couldn't hide Xu Shu from his two lies, and Xu Shu was much smarter than he imagined.
"She said she couldn't help!" Song Wencai was convinced of Xu Shu's words.
Song Hong smiled bitterly and shook his head, "She refused so decisively, I should have thought of it, it's not that she can't help, but she doesn't want to help!" I deserve it! ”
These words were almost exactly the same as what Xu Shu said, Song Wencai gritted his teeth and knelt down and said, "If the father can tell his son the whole truth, the son will go and beg her to help the Song family this time!" ”
"You're still going to die!" Song Hong waved his hand, "It's useless, it's too late, it's too late!" ”
"Is the father insisting on hiding it from his son?" Walking to Song Hong's side, Song Wencai looked up at Song Hong.
Looking at his son's stubborn expression, Song Hong sighed, "This matter really makes my father ashamed, especially in front of you!" ”
Song Wencai lowered his head and listened to Song Hong's tone, which gradually lowered.
"Although our Song family is the founding of the country, but after so many years, the power is not as good as before, to my and your uncle's generation, your grandfather died early, your grandmother worked hard to raise your uncle and me as adults, just when our brother was admitted to the fame of the year your grandmother also went, three years of worry, in the same year they were all promoted to the official of the promotion, married a wife, but our brother did nothing, seeing the family is falling day by day, we can only take refuge in the power of the DPRK, but the brother he does not want to insult the Song family, I didn't want to lose my face in Beijing, so I asked for a release, and I moved to various state capitals for several years, and finally met the chief who appreciated our two brothers in Fuzhou, which is the history of Chao Thorn! ”
Song Hong closed his eyes painfully, the rise of the Song family started from that time, and he also began to use no means at that time, "Chao Thorn Shi has been in Fuzhou for many years, he is very powerful, and he intends to cultivate your uncle and me, we are naturally grateful, but he is the only one!" In the summer of the fourth year of Xingping, Chao Assassin Shi received a secret letter, saying that the villagers of Dongshan Village harbored mountain bandits, at that time, the first emperor cleared the internal troubles, Chao Assassin Shi made meritorious contributions, and immediately led troops with your uncle to surround Dongshan Village, but did not search for mountain bandits in the village, Chao Assassin Shi suspected that the villagers hid people, so he tortured Li Zheng and others, and did not want to accidentally beat Li Zheng to death, this Li Zheng was very loved by the villagers, after Li Zheng's death, the villagers were furious, and scolded Chao Assassin Shi for being a dog official, Chao Assassin Shi was furious, threatened to arrest all the villagers back to ask for the guilt, the villagers were not afraid, but clashed with the government soldiers, and they didn't know who made the first move, anyway, in the end, the villagers and the government soldiers fought! ”
The civilian riots, and they were forced out by the superiors, no wonder Song Hong has been tight-lipped and said it, how can he have a chance to be promoted to the second rank.
"I saw that Chao Assassin Shi and your uncle have not returned for a long time, suspecting that there was an accident, so I rushed over with reinforcements, when I arrived, there were corpses all over the ground, because I brought reinforcements, and finally controlled the villagers, Chao Assassin Shi killed red eyes, refused to stay alive, afraid that the matter would be revealed, and finally ......"
"Did you kill everyone?" Song Wencai asked in a lost voice.
Song Hong nodded his head, "We can't persuade us, and we don't dare to persuade us, for fear that Chao Assassin Shi will kill us together, so we can only watch him swing his knife and slash at those innocent people......"
At that time, Song Hong forced himself to harden his heart and not look at the innocent and tragic faces, just like he couldn't bear to look at the expression on his son's face at the moment, he knew that from now on, his tall and upright image in his son's heart no longer existed.
"That's... And what about later? Song Wencai, who grew up in the rich and noble pile, couldn't imagine what would happen next.
"Later, Chao Jianshi woke up from his rage, intending to cover up the fact of slaughtering innocent people, in order to be precautionary, he also made two preparations, first moved the corpses of the people in Dongshan Village to a place dozens of miles away, disguised the scene as bandits, and wrote an excerpt report on the number of villagers as the number of bandits, and on the other hand, set fire to Dongshan Village, falsely claiming that there was a plague, and everyone in the village died of illness, so in order to prevent the spread of the epidemic, so the village was burned!"
Chao Assassin Shi's ruthlessness really shocked Song Wencai's soul, but he didn't expect that he not only killed so many innocent people, but also used these innocent and tragic people to take credit for himself afterwards, such scheming is really chilling.
"What about you, father?" Song Hong worked with such a ruthless person, making it difficult for Song Wencai to look at the man in front of him with the same state of mind as before.
"I..." Song Hong was full of remorse, but he was also full of powerlessness, "I had no power at that time, what ability did I have to compete with the governor of a state?" What else can I do but obey him? ”
"So my father is in the same league as Chao Thorn Shi?" Song Wencai looked at Song Hong, in addition to shock and heartache, there was more disbelief in his eyes.
"I have no choice......" seems to emphasize his powerlessness to give Song Hong's heart a moment of peace and respite.
"Excuses!" Song Wencai broke coldly, "My father started his career in Fuzhou, and he was obviously reluctant to bring you the glory and wealth brought to you by the history of Chao Assassination, what is the count of the people who died in vain in that village?" Even for the sake of your promotion and wealth, you can sacrifice more innocent people! ”
Song Hong didn't refute, he was really powerless a long time ago, but when he had that ability later, he didn't care about that anymore, standing on the upper reaches of power, he experienced the pleasure he had never experienced, except for the bloody dream in the middle of the night that reminded him of the fact that it had happened, he was about to forget the accumulated white bones that he had trampled under his feet, until Chao Tingshi suddenly hanged himself, he remembered that there was once such a group of innocent people who died tragically in front of him.
