(305) Prepare to return to Beijing

Because of Yan Bowen, they are all arranged in Fang's house, Zhao Chengcai just went over to knock on the door, but saw the door open from the inside, Yan Bowen had a pale face, came out quietly empty-handed, and collided with him.

He immediately understood a little bit in his heart, and Zhao Chengcai pretended not to know, "Ah Li, where are you going?" ”

Yan Bowen lowered his eyes, was silent for a while, and smiled bitterly, "Brother Zhao, I really can't stay anymore"

"Hmm" To his surprise, Zhao Chengcai actually nodded yes, "You come with me, there is just something to explain to you in this cold day, don't stand in the wind and talk." ”

Not much, usually spoken. It's like an ordinary owner arranging a guy to do things, but Yan Bowen knows that this couple really treats themselves well. In the harsh winter, if it is frozen for a long time, it will become numb. But someone brought the stove and put it silently beside you, that kind of warmth, like sugar wrapped in vinegar, no matter how sweet it is, it makes people sad.

"For? Why do you want to be so nice to me? Yan Bowen gritted his teeth desperately and endured the choking in his throat.

Even if he didn't understand the matter at first, after thinking about it carefully in prison, he vaguely guessed that he was inseparable from his family, so he took the initiative to admit his guilt. Anyway, he was a damn man, and he didn't want anyone to embarrass him.

If that person didn't pretend to be Mencius, he might have let him live, but he just mentioned this old matter, which was his intention? This is like pouring salt on someone's wounds, not only to force him to die, but also to seriously injure Mencius

Is this what Dad means or is it the big brother he has trusted the most since he was a child? Why did you put him to death like this? Yan Bowen didn't want to or dared to pursue it, he only felt that his heart was really cold.

Zhao Chengcai poured a cup of tea and handed it to him, and smiled generously, "We weren't particularly nice to you, we just did what a person should do." It's like Lord Meng, no matter what, he insisted on dealing with the courtesy, didn't he? Ah Li, there are some things in this life that are very helpless. Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, that is, the closest person, and sometimes it will be the person who gives you the most headache. Especially in a complex environment like your home, it may be ...... There may be some more complication than our average home. But if you fall into that dead end, it's too uncomfortable. We can only think about everything in a good place, just like for you, and we don't know about others, so we don't dare to play this package ticket. But your mother, and that Mama Zhu, they must be sincerely looking forward to your well. Just for such a concern and concern, you have to live well."

Yan Bowen lowered his head, but his mouth tasted a salty rust taste. Death, he is not afraid, but he is really afraid that life is better than death like this, but Zhao Chengcai is right, he still has his mother, he is his mother's only child, even if the whole world abandons him, his mother will not, so how can he let his mother be sad to his tomb?

"Let's stay," Zhao Chengcai persuaded in a low voice in a gentle and honest voice, "Wait for the time to pass, let's go to the capital together and meet your mother." Secretly tell you a secret, my lady and the second master Qiao are going to do business together, and we have to go to the capital again The road to the capital is not smooth, and we almost met a thief when we go back this time. With you to follow, you can naturally walk more steadily. When you meet your mother, think about the way forward. At that point, we won't stop you no matter what you decide. Just for now, please stay, okay? You also know that there are few capable people around the lady, if you don't help her, then we will be even more difficult, don't you always have to repay us? So stay and help us now, okay? ”

The words have come to this, so that Yan Bowen can say it again? "Thank you, Brother Zhao, really, the great kindness of your husband and wife, I will never forget it in my life"

"What about stupid words? Go back and rest, Ming'er has to go back to the racecourse, you're busy."

……

Zaranburg County.

The night was already very deep, but Mencius was still standing by the window, looking at the sky of the black crow, silent. The room was so quiet that you could hear a pin falling to the ground, except for the dancing candle flame, and even the breathing seemed to be still.

"Master, let's sleep" Qingsong Qingbai didn't rest, staying by his side, worried.

After a long time, Mencius suddenly asked, "It seems to be snowing again?"

"Yes, the north wind is blowing again. Come in and let us close the window, okay? ”

Mencius turned around slowly, his face was blown white and pale blue by the cold wind. As soon as he lifted his foot, he felt that his steps were a little stiff, Qing Song hurriedly stepped forward to help him, and said distressedly, "If you get sick again, how worried your family is"

Mencius wanted to smile, but his face was so numb that he had no expression, and he went to sit down by the fire. Qingbai closed the window and added a few more pieces of charcoal to the brazier, and the cold room finally warmed up.

"Master, forgive the little talker, don't take the thief's words to heart today, this is to say that you are deliberately angry with you, if you are really angry, you will fall for their tricks"

Mencius closed his eyes and roasted the fire for a while, until he felt that his stiff body warmed up, and then he opened his mouth lightly, "No, he didn't say that he was wrong, as a brother, if he can't avenge his own brother's blood and hatred, then is it still called a person?" ”

Qingsong Qingbai was startled, glanced at each other, and looked at him suspiciously, "But ......"

Mencius Zhan waved his hand, "You think wrong, I don't mean Yan Bowen."

"What does that mean ......"

"I never understood in my heart that the tragedy would happen back then. Do you remember? After the incident that day, Yan Bowen was shocked and incredulous, and that expression could not have been disguised. He even immediately wanted to kill himself with a sword to thank the world. If he was premeditated and planned, in order to be sure to pick such a day, he had to drink alone with Ziwei and fall into such an obvious handle? ”

"But at that time, didn't you find out? Even the wine that the second young master drank was checked, and it was not poisoned. ”

"Yes, it really couldn't be found out back then, it could only be regarded as drunk and disorderly. But today, that man reminded me that this matter is really not that simple."

"Master is saying that this matter may be related to the eldest young master of the Yan family?"

Mencius raised his eyebrows, "Think about it, how good he was to his younger brother in the past, even my biological eldest brother was often ashamed of himself, but now, in just four years, he actually put his heart to death this younger brother, isn't it too abnormal?" ”

"But master, people's positions have changed, and their mentality will also change. In the past, Second Young Master Yan was a son-in-law, he was just the eldest son, so he naturally had to treat this younger brother well. But now that he is the only heir of the Taishi Mansion, and he is a celebrity in front of the emperor, of course it is different, he can't tolerate such a family ugliness, I'm afraid he is also planning for his future, right? No mistakes, not a lot of words"

"This is even more strange, think about it, who is the biggest beneficiary of Yan Bowen's accident back then? If he really had no quarrel with the world, why would he quietly befriend the then prince and today's majesty? Since he has firmly sat in the position of Yan Mansion as a family member, why did he want to kill such a brother who has no power to fight back? Mencius slammed the arm of the chair heavily, his eyes were cold, "There is only one answer"

The two exclaimed, "He has a weak heart"

Meng Zizhan sneered, "Thanks to him for drawing such a snake for a while, otherwise I wouldn't be sure, no matter how suspicious I am." But now, since he no longer recruits himself, then I still have something to be polite about? I'm going to have to get to the bottom of it."

"But master, he is not what he used to be now, and he doesn't know that he helped His Majesty do something in the past, in case it ......"

In case there is a hidden secret, Your Majesty must protect him, how can they bear him? Or to further speculate that the old incident is the secret support of His Majesty today, so how are they going to turn over this iron case?

Mencius looked up at the ceiling, and his deep eyes couldn't hide the undercurrent surging there. What kind of secret situation needs to sacrifice the life of his little brother? Is it good for Your Majesty to let the two of them become a fire and water? He needs to think about this question. But what he had to do now was something else.

"Qingbai, pen and ink waiting" Mencius thought for a while, picked up the pen and wrote a letter to his family, "Ming'er will send someone to the capital early in the morning"

"Master, you can't act rashly."

"Don't worry, I just want to go back to Beijing"

Only by going back can we better find out the truth. This Zaranburg, he had stayed long enough, and it was almost time to prepare to go back.

Yan Bozhai, if you really killed my brother, even if you fight to break the net, I want you to pay for Ziwei's life

……

The north wind was tight overnight, and when I got up in the morning, the snow stopped and the wind stopped, and the world was already a white and vast glass world, covering up the filth and ugliness, showing the purest and clearest side.

After breakfast, Zhao Chengcai went out to hire a cart and sent the guys back to the racecourse. Everyone at the racecourse was relieved to see that everyone had returned safely.

Zhang Xiaodie teased Fang Mingzhu in private, "Look, your brother Ali is finally back, you have to cry, cry in front of him, don't be in front of me." ”

Fang Mingzhu's tears that were swirling in his eyes were retracted, covering his red and swollen eyes with his hands, and he refused to step forward.

But Yan Bowen walked in front of everyone one by one to compensate, "It's all because of me, and it's affecting everyone."

"What's your business" Aunt Niu smiled, "Since they're all back, it's okay, let's do it, Chengcai, I remember that you still have guests today, you go back to work on yours first, let's help work here for another day, and then go back with your daughter-in-law in the afternoon."

When Aunt Niu mentioned it, Zhang Qingting also remembered, "Today's tenth day of the first month, didn't that patriarch invite you?" Instead, go for a trip, so as not to gossip about people again, and if a neighbor asks about things at home, you should also explain it to others, so as not to spread more and more unpleasant."

"Then won't you come with me?"

"How can I walk away now? My father-in-law and aunt are here, and I went out to be a guest, so what kind of system is that? You go quickly, remember to go home and change your clothes, and then prepare a few more pillars for the red envelope, go and lead two horses, follow the uncle back, take care of it on the way, if you drink wine, remember to walk slower when you come back, such a heavy snow, don't let the horse lose its hooves"

"Got it" Zhao Chengcai and Baozhu rode away.

But today's patriarch has an appointment, what is wrong with him?

(PS: There are pinks and tips again, it's really pleasant)
