(468) A fight to the death
was discussing how to arrange for Chunmei to return to Yan's mansion, when she heard someone report that it was Lord Yan who gave a courtesy.
Zhao Chengcai knew that it might be Fang Tianguan's bones, so he quickly asked Chunmei to avoid it, and went to collect the things himself. In order to look good, Yan Bozhai also deliberately asked people to take a big blue and white porcelain altar with gold and flowers, and tie a big red flower, so he picked it and sent it.
Zhao Chengcai gritted his teeth secretly when he saw it, and as soon as the person left, he quickly took out the sack inside, and Todu Yuhan hired another car, took a roll of plain white and clean baggage, tied it tightly, and immediately sent it back to Fang Mingzhu.
That night, Fang Mingzhu finally collected his father's bones, but he cried loudly while caressing the pile of scattered white bones
Speaking of which, it is a blessing to collect all the bones, but thinking about what happened to their family, and the pile of bones that were dismantled in a mess at the end, people can't think of the word gratification.
Look at such a little girl, she was supposed to go to Beijing with everyone to rejoice, but in the end, she helped her grandfather and father back with the two coffins, which made people feel sad to see.
Especially Yan Bowen, he blamed himself even more in his heart.
It's night, the back door of Yan's house.
Zhao Chengcai hid in the carriage in the shadows, and warned carefully, "Be careful when you go over, don't show your feet, you know?" ”
Baozhu nodded, pressed the edge of the felt hat again, and then got out of the car. Chunmei followed, all the way to the root of the wall.
When she hid in the shadows first, Baozhu knocked on the door, "Excuse me, is Mama Zhao here?" ”
Behind the door, a little guy asked impatiently, "Who are you?" What do you want her to do? ”
Bao Zhu said a made up lie, "I'm Qiu Ju's cousin in Mrs. Fangli's room, I want to come and see her, Mama Zhao recognizes me." ”
The little guy snorted coldly, "To tell you, Mama Zhao made a mistake and was punished for rough work in the pulp washing place." Our master has instructed that in the future, no matter where the people come from, they will not open the door at night. I want to recognize my relatives and wait for tomorrow to go to the gate at dawn."
What can I do now? Bao Zhu thought for a while, and smiled outside the door, "This little brother, I'm really sorry that we came to work with the foreman in Beijing, and it was easy to get a free night tonight, so I wanted to come and meet my sister." Otherwise, tomorrow will have to leave again in the morning. Can you give me a message? ”
"Don't tell me this, I can't afford it and I don't dare to bear it."
Seeing this, Baozhu deliberately shook the money bag loudly, "This money, let's send the little brother to drink and eat."
The little guy muttered, "You think this money is easy to collect?" If we know about it, who will I ask for compensation if I smash my job? ”
This Baozhu can't do it, so he walked aside and asked Chunmei in a low voice, "What should I do?" ”
Chunmei pondered, took out her handkerchief, took off the earrings and wrapped them, "You take this again, and ask him if he can hand this in." ”
Baozhu acted according to his words, this time the little guy could be accommodating, "Then you pass things in through the crack in the door, by the way, what's your name?" ”
"My name is Chunbao" Baozhu casually recited a name, handed over a few more money, and the little guy took it and went to deliver something.
Chunmei is not sure if she can call someone now, so she can only hide here and wait for a while.
The little maid sent her things in, Qiu Ju recognized them immediately, and immediately handed them over to the Zhu family, "Madam, look, it's Chunmei who is back."
Zhu was stunned, wasn't this girl gotten out by Yan Bozhai? She thought that there was more luck than luck, but she didn't expect to escape, so what happened here?
She was thoughtful, and immediately thought that Chunmei must have a request for her, and the stakes were very high, otherwise, she would definitely not venture to come in the middle of the night.
"You quickly take two people out to have a look, if it's really her, think of bringing her in to talk"
Qiu Ju took the order, pretending to be very happy to receive something, and specially took some pastries to the little guy who passed the message, "Good brother, you let me go and meet my brother, he rarely comes to the capital, I still have something to give him."
The little servant looked embarrassed, "But the old man has ordered ......"
"Can't you just pretend to be a courtier? This person always has three urgencies, and it is impossible to stay at the door all the time, right? Qiu Ju stuffed a new purse into him, "If you help me this time, I'll make you a pair of shoes tomorrow."
"That's what you said," the little guy thought that this favor could be sold, "then you can hurry up, I'll pretend I don't know."
"Don't worry, just a few words, you go around in a circle and come back, even if something happens, it's all up to me, and I can't rely on you"
The little guy thought about it, and really pretended to go to the thatched house.
Here Qiu Ju hurriedly arrived at the back door and came out to take a look, isn't it Chunmei? I didn't have time to say more, so I quickly beckoned her in, "Miss wants to see you"
Chunmei didn't want to go in, so she only said that she would return the deed of sale and leave, but Qiu Ju was afraid that she wouldn't understand the matter, and the Zhu family would ask her to pull her in.
Thinking about it, Chunmei turned her head and explained to Baozhu, "Why don't you go first, I won't be able to come out at night if I don't say it, if I come out, I will inform you."
Bao Zhu nodded, turned back to Zhao Chengcai, Zhao Chengcai thought for a while, but said, "Let's drive the car away, you hide behind the door, see clearly before leaving." ”
Baozhu acted according to his words, and the master and servant were still guarding outside the gate of Yanfu.
Chunmei followed Qiu Ju into the mansion, saw the Zhu family, and waited for her to retreat from everyone, before kneeling down and crying for mercy, "Miss, please, return the slave's deed of sale to me, the master wants to kill me, you save me"
Zhu's heart sank suddenly, confirming his original conjecture, and he didn't even dare to ask more, "You wait, I'll get it for you"
The girl who married over, those deeds of sale were still in her own hands, and soon found Chunmei's share, wrote it for her, and took out some gold and silver as gifts.
"You take these, escape as far as possible, never appear in the capital again for the rest of your life, and don't go back to Zhufu, you know?"
"Thank you, Miss" Chunmei was grateful and kowtowed again and again.
Zhu Shi got up and called, "Qiu Ju, come and send ......"
She didn't say a word, but she saw the curtain of the door lift, and a face full of gloom appeared in front of her. There was a sneering smile on his thin lips, "Madam, you are in such a hurry, who are you asking Qiu Ju to send away?" ”
It is also appropriate to say that Yan Bozhai was really tired after working hard for days, so he went back to his room to rest after dinner. But I can't sleep after tossing and turning, especially why the emperor wants to praise Zhao Chengcai. It would be false to say that he himself has no sense of crisis at all, but he never believed that the emperor would be ruthless to himself without thinking about his old feelings.
After all, he has done many unsavory things for the emperor, and the emperor will still have someone to clean up those messes for him in the future. Especially in the confrontation with the Meng family, he has played an immeasurable role. Even if he is a chess piece in the emperor's mind, he is also a very useful chess piece, how can the emperor say that he will stop?
But it can't be said that way, if the emperor is really determined to abandon him as a pawn, will there be no more available people in the court? The current emperor is not the emperor of a few years ago, he has already sat firmly in the Dragon Court, and his scruples about them are relatively small.
But if you really want to talk about it, after all, the Yan family is a generation of scholars, and Master Yan is still cold, can the emperor take him under the knife at these junctures?
Yan Bozhai was disturbed in his mind, and he couldn't figure out a clue for a long time, but the more he thought about it, the more upset he became, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that the high place was unbearable, so he simply put on his clothes, wanted to walk around the courtyard, calm down, but he didn't expect to meet the little guy who pretended to go to the toilet.
The little guy had a ghost in his heart, and when he saw him, his face turned white with fright, and he knelt down. Yan Bozhai didn't feel anything, but now he also felt that something was wrong, and he asked the reason without a few words.
Yan Bozhai sneered in his heart, he hadn't investigated the matter last time, this Zhu family actually gave her another moth and ordered the little girl not to make a noise, and he quietly came to the Zhu family's courtyard, and just saw Qiu Ju leading people sneakily in, so he hid aside and listened to the foot of the wall. Fortunately, Zhu was smart and didn't ask about things that shouldn't be asked, but he just saw that she was going to let Chunmei leave, which was something that Yan Bozhai would never allow
As soon as Chunmei heard Yan Bozhai's voice, most of the three souls and seven spirits were frightened. A buttocks slumped on the ground, his whole face was snow-white, and his whole body trembled like a fallen leaf in the wind.
Zhu Shi also turned yellow in fright, but closed her eyes slightly, trying to stay calm, but the trembling voice still betrayed her mood, "Master, spring...... Chunmei, she's just a subordinate, you can let her live."
Yan Bozhai said coolly, "Why did Madame say this? Chunmei is my concubine, why don't I let her live? ”
Chunmei's tears were like rain, and her head was pounding, "Master, you let go of the slave and maid, the slave and maid promise, after leaving, I will never step into the capital for half a step in this life, and I will never mention anything in the mansion again."
Yan Bozhai leaned down and asked, "Really?" ”
Chunmei's head is like pounding garlic.
Yan Bozhai sneered, "If you can really do it, it proves that your memory is very good."
Chunmei's face turned three points whiter, "Master, I'm ...... I'll forget, I'll forget."
"And who can guarantee that?" Yan Bozhai's yin and yang weird way, it is clear that he doesn't want to let her go.
Chunmei was in a hurry, and took out the dagger given by Zhao Chengcai from her sleeve, "Master, you...... You let me go."
Yan Bozhai really didn't pay attention to it, "Are you going to wipe your neck by yourself?" If you wipe your neck, I can bury you alive."
Zhu knelt down, "Master, the concubine begs you." Let her live, Chunmei, this girl, I can guarantee that I will never betray Yan's mansion."
Yan Bozhai scoffed, "She can take out a knife and face me, and you still say that she won't betray me?" ”
At this time, Chunmei saw that he didn't give herself a way to live, and suddenly her brain was hot, and she raised her knife and stabbed it
