He was at a loss, only holding his dead mother in his arms tightly, his body twitching, and he couldn't bear to cry.
Parents are here, there is still a place to come, parents go, only the way back.
And in the face of the woman in front of him who killed his mother and ruined the Yun family, he didn't have a word of abuse, no accusation, and in the end there was only a lonely sentence.
He no longer has a home.
Zeng Tian Gao Haikuo walked away alone, taking the stars and the moon and blowing the breeze on his sleeves, a tall and proud son, and indulged and free like the scorching sun.
And now, the two high-haired halls are killing each other, the family is ruined, and there is no more big tree to lean on behind him, and no one will be his backing.
In fact, Yuntang, like Lin Qi, was also in a dilemma between loyalty and filial piety, but in the face of those unknown disasters, the difference is that Lin Qi chose loyalty and righteousness, and he chose filial piety.
Yun Tang originally planned to take all the blame for himself and confess his guilt for Yun Shangshu, in his opinion, the Yun family can do without Yun Tang, but it can't be without Yun Shangshu to be the master.
He brought the letter gift today, and he came to say goodbye to Lin Qi, but who knew that when he came two moments late, he was separated from his closest relatives Yin and Yang.
The Yun family is completely ruined.
After a while, Yuntang suddenly stopped crying, wiped the tears on his face, picked up Su Qinwan's body and walked slowly towards the outside of the maple forest, every step was still heavy and resolute.
"It's not your fault, don't blame yourself too much." Xiao Chengyue stood behind Lin Qi, stretched out his hand to take her into his arms, and said with relief, "It's his own sin, you can help him for a while, you can't help him for a lifetime, so, for everyone, it's the best result." ”
Xiao Chengyue said that he was naturally talking about Yun Yizhang.
"Mrs. Keyun is innocent, and he should blame me."
Lin Qi looked at the direction in which Yun Tang was gradually leaving, and the blood-stained sword on the ground was still shiny and emitting a faint light.
She took a deep breath and threw herself into Xiao Chengyue's arms, until the familiar smell filled her nose and the whole person was in a safe state, then she slowly exhaled.
"Su'er." Xiao Chengyue called softly, Lin Qi raised his head and looked at him with a firm look at himself, "Don't be afraid, everything is with me." ”
Lin Qi nodded with tears in his eyes, on a deep winter day, his heart was as warm as early spring.
The mist of the forest dissipated, the light of the sky gradually swept away the previous haze, and the blood stains on the ground were also covered by layers of ripe maple leaves, and the color and smell of blood soaked into the cracks of earth and time......
Yun Yizhang was escorted to the prison, and Xu Liang always reported all the events to Emperor Shengzhi, including the hanging of the Yun family's wife, and soon, the news of this matter spread in Lin'an.
It is claimed that Yun Shangshu committed the crime at the beginning, and committed the Yun family, Zhang Mansion, and Lu family, including secretly assassinating the three princes, vainly trying to harm the prime minister's concubine, and being involved in the disaster relief in the north of the border and embezzling ink and silver, several major cases, according to the trial, and the suspicion of withholding tribute, his crime is unforgivable, and it should have been connected with the nine clans.
But there is the wife of the Yun family who resists her life outside, and there are three princes and Luo Baisu inside to intercede for her as a guarantee, when it was the year of Emperor Shengzhi's mandate, Emperor Zu ordered that it should not be too hurtful.
Then he removed the crime of Zhulian and confiscated all the property under his household, which was called raiding the house!
For a few days in a row, the Yunfu Mansion was empty, the crowd of people coming and going in front of the door was concentrated and scattered, and the rotten eggs and rotten leaves were piled up all over the door, all of them were unhappy for Lu Qing and Zhang Jiming, and also condemned Yun Yizhang for being a vain person.
Mrs. Yun's body stopped in the ancestral hall for two days, and in the end, Yun Tang took advantage of the darkness and night to carry it to the ancestral grave, and dug a pit with a sword in his hand and buried it hastily.
The family was poor and the surroundings were empty, until the officers and soldiers came to collect the deed on the last day, and there were only four people left in the Yun Mansion: Yun Tang, Yun Mu Hibiscus and a housekeeper and an old mother.
The glory of the past is like a passing smoke, which will be extinguished at the touch of a button, and it is bitter and bitter, who can pay attention to it except the Yun family.
Regarding Yun Yizhang's final punishment, Emperor Sheng Zhi's last order was to punish the head of the first month, and the time was set for the thirteenth day of the first month, which was also five days later.
At the same time, King Ning's carriage and horse to return to Beijing also arrived in Lin'an on this day, and heard that King Ning was infected with an extremely serious epidemic, and almost did not wake up.
When Lin Ji returned to the mansion that day and heard the news, he immediately took out all his savings and looked around for a suitable house.
"Grab your stuff and get out! It is the emperor's grace to be able to spare your life, if you don't leave, don't blame Lao Tzu for turning his face and not recognizing people, and then report to the emperor to treat you for the crime of disobeying the law! ”
As soon as Lin Qi walked to the door of Yunfu, he saw a group of officers and soldiers stepping on the door plaque of Yunfu, and the person headed by the man angrily scolded an old housekeeper, this old housekeeper Lin Qi knew, was the scholar next to Yun Bolin when he first came to Yunfu that day.
I saw that the officer and soldier stepped on the word "cloud" on the door plaque, raised his hand, waved down the knife, and cut the door plaque in two in front of the old housekeeper, and said in his mouth, "The dog of the mourning door, it is rare for Lao Tzu to be so patient, this is also a useless thing, save it from blocking Lao Tzu's way, get out of here." ”
The old butler lowered his head and snorted a few times, but he never made a sound.
But at that time, Yun Mu Hibiscus came out of the house, today's Yun Mu Hibiscus was dressed in a coarse cloth filial piety robe, took off a piece of jewelry, and the powder was not applied, perhaps because of Mrs. Yun's mourning, her eyes were red, and her face was terrifyingly white.
"Uncle Qin, why hasn't my brother come back yet?" Yun Mujin called softly to the old housekeeper, and when he saw the officers and soldiers at the door, he hurriedly stopped.
As soon as he saw Yun Mu Hibiscus, the officer and soldier immediately loosened their feet on the door plaque, rubbed their hands with a smirk on their faces, and looked Yun Mu Hibiscus up and down.
"I often hear that Miss Yun is raised in the deep boudoir and is unknown, it turns out that she looks like this, since she has come here today, it is better to go back with the master, let the master I love you well."
"What do you want to do, this is broad daylight, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, you, you dare!"
Seeing this, the old butler stepped forward in two steps to protect Yun Muhibiscus behind him, he was short in stature, standing in front of him was not as tall as the shoulders of the officers and soldiers, but the grandeur in his eyes was proud.
"What about the feet of the Son of Heaven, as long as I want to, there is nothing that Uncle Ben can't do, it's not a broken house, where can you get better than those broken flowers and willows in Yichun Building, it is your blessing to be looked at by the master, and you really think that you are the former daughter? Don't eat the fireworks of the world! ”
"Don't be ashamed!"
Hearing this, Lin Qi couldn't hold back any longer, took two steps up, and kicked the officer and soldier in the knee, kicking him hard, right in the tendon.
"Presumptuous!" Lin Qi snorted coldly and angrily.
The officers and soldiers in front of him had no defense, and they were bent by this kick, their knees bent, their bodies leaned forward, and they knelt directly in front of Yun Muhibiscus and kowtowed to the ground.
"Who, who's kicking me?"
The officers and men roared angrily, and were about to draw their swords, but when they raised their heads, a golden plaque suddenly appeared in front of them, engraved with the words "Gold Medal for Avoiding Death."
The officer and soldier were stunned for a moment, and they didn't even have time to raise their heads, they bowed their heads and kowtowed, shouting while kowtowing, "The emperor spares his life, the emperor spares his life, and the lower officials should die, beg the emperor to spare his life." ”
"Apologize to Miss Yun!" Lin Qi reprimanded coldly.
Hearing this, the officer and soldier raised their heads tremblingly, and saw that in front of them was a very beautiful little girl in plain clothes, only about twenty-eight years old, with no extra jewelry on her body, and she couldn't tell that she was a royal person.
He didn't recognize this person, but he was especially angry when he saw this momentum.
"Where did the wild girl come from, she dared to do something to your official grandfather, and she wanted to come out as a hero with a fake gold medal, and she didn't look at who your grandfather and I were!"
The officer and soldier held on to the wooden pillar on the side and slowly stood up, he decided that the gold medal for avoiding death has always been only available to the royal family, and the one in this girl's hand must be fake.
"Dogs are bold, looking for death!" Lin Qi shouted loudly, kicked open the door plaque at his feet, and directly hit the knee of the officer and soldier, and instantly kicked the person to his knees.
A flip between his fingers was forced, and several silver needles were inserted into his throat, which happened to seal the acupuncture veins in his throat.
"Since you won't apologize, what's the use of this mouth."
Seeing this, the officers and men who were watching the excitement on the side immediately changed their faces and retreated to the side tremblingly, but after a while, they scattered like birds and beasts, as if they had seen the devil, holding their heads and running wildly, and in the blink of an eye, there was no trace in front of them.
"Brother Lin Mu." Yun Mujin shouted at her with a smile, without the slightest resentment, still the same.
The old butler stood aside, sighed, and said with a straight face, "How can you have the emperor's gold medal for avoiding death?" ”
There are only five gold medals in the world today, the first queen has one, the current queen has one, and the remaining three have never heard of who Emperor Sheng Zhi gave them, where did this piece come from?
Lin Qi looked at the sign in his hand, the golden light, reflecting the light, reflected on the wall very rotten, "I picked it up." ”
Of course, it wasn't picked up, what everyone didn't know was that when Queen Duanyuan died, this death-free gold medal was stuffed into Xiao Chengyue's hands by Emperor Sheng Zhi under the pretext of being lost.
And this piece in Lin Qi's hand is exactly what Xiao Chengyue gifted, saying that it is a preliminary love token, and it must be accepted.
Before Yun Mujin and the two of them could react, Lin Qi opened his mouth and said, "You can't stay here, I found a separate courtyard for you in the western suburbs, and I will move over today, the emperor did not hold you responsible, which means that you are still benevolent and generous, and it will not be too difficult to think about it." ”
Yun Mujin and the old housekeeper glanced at each other, until finally, the old housekeeper looked at the ruins of the garden, and said indifferently, "No need, the prince has gone to find the caravan out of the city, and we will go to the execution ground to see the master on his last journey in five days, and we will leave Lin'an." ”
Leave?
Lin Qi's heart was empty for a while, she wanted to do her best to help them, so as to atone for her mistakes.
Who knows, now there is no such opportunity, she stammered for a while, and asked, "Where to go?" ”
"It doesn't seem to be your business......" The old housekeeper still had a trace of wariness against Lin Ji in his heart.
"My brother said that my mother loved the scenery of Jiangnan when she was alive, and now I am going, just in time for Yangzhou to bloom in March." Yun Mujin interrupted, she seemed to have never changed her affection for Lin Qi.
But at that time, Yun Tang pulled a white horse from the entrance of the alley, but after a few days, his whole person seemed to be rapidly emaciated, the bones and green tendons on his face were clearly visible, his movements were slow, his eyes were blank, and the only green jade sword was pinned to his waist and hung loosely.
"Brother." Yun Mu Hibiscus greeted him, "Has the caravan been found?" ”
Yun Tang raised his eyes tiredly, shook his head helplessly, and looked at it, and saw Lin Qi at the door.
"As soon as I heard that it was the Yun family, those people avoided it and didn't want to bring any of them."
Yun Tang kept looking at Lin Qi not far away when he spoke, there was no disgust in his eyes, but a little more evasion, he looked down at Lin Qi while looking at himself, inexplicably flustered.
Lin Qi looked at his cautious appearance, and the guilt in his heart arose spontaneously again, Yun Tang, who was once proud and free, can no longer find half a shadow in this person.
"If you can't find it, stay for the time being, and it's not too late to leave after the funeral period for Mrs. Yun."
Lin Qi walked over, who knows, as soon as she approached, Yun Tang stepped back and turned back to the house directly.
"Brother Lin Mu, my brother didn't mean to, don't blame him, I'll go back and persuade him, so, please ask Brother Lin Mu to arrange it for us, we'll move over tomorrow."
Yun Mu Hibiscus said, turned around and chased after him, and the rest of the old housekeeper looked at Lin Qi with a defensive expression, and followed Yun Mu Hibiscus after a while.
But at that time, a white gas flashed in front of me, this gas, I haven't seen it for a long time, and today this is?
Lin Qi suddenly stood up and looked at the white qi, only to see that the white qi that suddenly came from the top of Yun Mu Hibiscus's head who had just left, could it be ......
