Chapter 272: Conscience and Good and Evil
In the middle of the night, Miss Dong had already rested.
After the maid put down the bed tent, she carefully hung the wedding dress on the hanger, and then nested on the arhat collapse in the room to rest.
There was silence, the silence of the night, and now the window was slightly raised, and after a short piece of incense sticks was thrown into the house, the window closed silently.
A quarter of an hour later, the door was pushed open.
After Hua Rou and the four of them walked in in nocturnal clothes, Tang Hu went straight to the bed tent, picked up the stunned Miss Dong and ran out quickly, and Tang Xin also carried the maid in the house away.
Yu'er immediately closed the door, turned around and went to the cage box in the house, took out a regular dress worn by the young lady and handed it to Hua Rou: "Hurry up and change it!" ”
Hua Rou took the clothes and asked worriedly, "They won't die, right?" ”
"They'll take care of it, so don't worry about it!" After Yu'er processed the incense sticks, she also began to change out of her night clothes, but she couldn't hear the movement behind her, and turned her head to see that Hua Rou was still holding her clothes in place, and walked in front of Hua Rou helplessly: "What are you grinding?" We're doing something! ”
"I know, but you have to ask for a reason for such a thing, right? Grandma said to kill, we will ignore the killing, what if it is a good person who kills? ”
Yu'er sighed: "Hua Rou, I know you are kind-hearted, but born in troubled times, what is good and what is evil, can we really tell the difference?" ”
Hua Rou said stubbornly: "Of course you can tell the difference!" ”
"Then tell me, is Tang Xiao a good guy or a bad guy?"
Hua Rou was stunned: "Of course he is a good person!" ”
"If he is a good person, then why did he make a choice for you privately despite your opposition, you don't want to be the master of the family, but he forced you to inherit the inheritance, causing you to be in a shackle and miserable now?"
"I ......," Hua Rou said.
"Grandma forced you to kill people without your wishes, and Tang Xiao forced you to be the master of the door without your wishes, so are they all bad people?"
Yu'er's question was so asked that Hua Rou couldn't say a word with her mouth open.
"Look, you can't answer these questions, can you really tell the difference between good and bad?"
Hua Rou lowered her head, she felt that her perception was being subverted.
"Hua Rou, you are like a white cloud in the sky, clean and beautiful, you don't know all kinds of ugliness in the world, and you don't know the pain and helplessness of being born; And we, born in troubled times, are like dust and mud, and few of them are really clean......"
"That's not what I meant!" Hua Rou heard the inferiority complex and misunderstanding in Yu'er's words, and hurriedly explained: "I just think we do things well...... Gotta touch your conscience! ”
Yu'er laughed: "Do you know, you were just a chess piece, in the hands of grandma, you said that sacrifice was sacrificed, it was Tang Xiao who gave up the opportunity with his conscience and fulfilled you!" ”
Hua Rou was stunned: "What do you mean...... Did he mean to let me? ”
"I don't know what happened to make this result, but the heir cultivated by grandma will not be so vulnerable, and it will be easy for you to have the opportunity to inherit the inheritance."
"I'm ......" Hua Rou couldn't help but get nervous, she was a little overwhelmed.
"Now that you've become the heir to the Gate, he's lost that forever! This is the choice he made with his conscience! ”
Yu'er's words, like a knife, cut Hua Rou's cognition, making her really feel the debt to Tang Xiao - he is there to help me......
"This time, if you don't complete the mission successfully, both you and I will be killed! I don't want to do evil, but at the point of life and death, I can't just care about what is right and wrong and the life and death of others. We must live! ”
Hua Rou looked at Yu'er, who suddenly became excited, and was dumbfounded.
Yu'er looked at Hua Rou, and there was a chill in her voice: "Listen! I'll do the assassination, you just have to act with us, you're not bad, I won't let you kill, this is our conscience for each other. ”
The light in Hua Rou's eyes gradually dimmed at this moment.
……
In the study of Meng's Mansion in Chengdu Mansion, Meng Zhixiang, who was supposed to rest, did not sleep, but talked with his most trusted friend Zhao Jiliang at night.
Zhao Jiliang, who is it?
At first, he was a salt and iron judge in the Later Tang Dynasty, a servant of the imperial court, and later served as an envoy to the Sanchuan system, supervising the transportation of the surplus money from the Sichuan army back to the capital on the one hand, and supervising the taxation of Sichuan on the other.
But he and Meng Zhixiang are old friends! ran to Xichuan Meng Zhixiang's land, Meng Zhixiang forcibly left him as the deputy envoy of Xichuan Jiedu, and then as long as there was something, no matter how big or small, he always had to discuss with him.
Meng Zhixiang held a candle in one hand and lit the map on the table with the other.
"Jingzhou and Luojing are coming, and they will be blocked by waterways when they reach eastern Sichuan, and eastern Sichuan is connected to Chudi, if this battlefield is in eastern Sichuan in the future, it will be the best!"
Zhao Jiliang high-fived and exclaimed: "Wonderful! Brother, this is going to beat you to the death in someone else's house, and you won't hurt yourself! ”
"If it weren't for this, if you persuaded me to marry Dong Zhang, I wouldn't bother to agree."
Zhao Jiliang said with a smile: "Then Dong Zhang is indeed a reckless man, without virtue and nameless, with him in eastern Sichuan for a day, you will have one more shield in front of you!" ”
"The emperor ordered me and Dong Zhang to hold each other's place, which means to hold each other hostage! Now I have married him, lest I have to give authority to others. ”
"With the princess and sister-in-law here, my brother doesn't have to worry."
Meng Zhixiang clenched his fists, stared at Zhao Jiliang and said softly: "Only by killing him can the entire Shu land be ...... It's really in my hands! ”
Zhao Jiliang thought for a moment and said: "It will be a matter of time before my brother eats him, but now that you make a move, the emperor will definitely detect your thoughts, and I am afraid that it will ......be inappropriate."
Zhao Jiliang shook his head, not thinking that this was a good time, and someone knocked on the door at this time.
Meng Zhixiang immediately rolled up the map and put it away, and then let people in, it was Song Zhi who came, and what he sent was a silk book.
Meng Zhixiang read the silk book and ordered: "Let her lead someone away!" ”
"Master doesn't plan to see her?"
"The wedding is a big deal, and she is not in a hurry in advance." Meng Zhixiang said and waved his hand, and Song Zhi immediately retreated.
"Got a distinguished guest on the door?" Zhao Jiliang asked.
Meng Zhixiang snorted impatiently: "Where are the distinguished guests, they are just some useless minions, let's get down to business!" ”
In the front yard of Meng's mansion, Marquis Tang Shiqi was here, and when he saw Song Zhi coming out, he immediately stepped forward: "Mr. Song......
Song Zhi raised his hand and motioned to Tang Shiqi to stop: "My lord has important things to do in the past two days, and I don't have time to see you, so he will let you go and take people away." ”
Tang Shiqi was stunned: "But I have something important to discuss with the master face-to-face......"
Song Zhi said impatiently: "It's just a little thing in the Tang Sect, the master has important things to do these days, and I really don't have time to see you." ”
Tang Shiqi hurriedly took out a gold leaf and stuffed it into Song Zhi's hand: "Mr. Song, my matter is really important, please help me tell the master again." ”
Song Zhi looked at Tang Shiqi, looked down at the gold leaf in his hand, looked back at the backyard again, and then lowered his voice and said: "In this way, you wait in the other courtyard for three days, and then arrange for you to meet him after the master is busy with these three days." ”
Although Tang Shiqi was helpless, she didn't have a choice: "Mr. Xie, then Shiqi will wait for three days." ”
Tang Shiqi retreated, and Song Zhi looked at the gold leaf and put it in his sleeve pocket.
