Chapter 553: Night Walking
In the backyard of the Song Mansion, the warm afternoon sunshine also attracted all the wives and concubines of the Song Mansion to go out together and play on the grass. Song Nan lay on the bench, squinting as if he was asleep; The coquettish laughter of the wives and concubines is like an iron slowly ironing out some blocks in their hearts, slowly dispelling the strange thoughts brought by today's execution ground.
The heads of dozens of people fell in front of him, knowing that some of them were innocent, just like that Zhu Xiucheng, who had long had nothing to do with Qingwangfu, but he still couldn't escape death, Song Nan wanted to save them, but he couldn't do anything. It's a terrible feeling, not only because of sympathy for those who don't have control over their fate, but also because of themselves. The status of official positions and rights is getting bigger and bigger, but this kind of troubled inability to influence fate has not been far away.
A soft little hand was placed on the back of Song Nan's hand, and Dai Su'er's gentle voice came from her ear: "Does your husband have something on your mind?" ”
Song Nan opened his eyes and turned his head sideways, looked at Dai Su'er, who was leaning on the chair and carefully protecting his stomach, and smiled: "It's nothing, it's just that I feel a little uncomfortable." ”
"Isn't it a good day to be so comfortable? Do you like the days when Ningxia is full of crises in the ice and snow? Dai Su'er chuckled at the corners of her mouth.
Song Nan grabbed her hand and kneaded it in her palm, and sighed: "It's not this matter, it's the beheading of the Qingwang Mansion at noon, among the more than thirty people, at least half of them are people who have nothing to do with Zhu Ningxiao's rebellion, but they lost their heads for this matter." And these people were beheaded just as my token landed, and their hearts were very panicked. ”
Dai Su'er sighed lightly and said, "The husband can't do anything, this matter is not something that the husband can control." ”
Song Nan said: "It is precisely because I can't control this situation that I feel uncomfortable; I've seen a lot of people kill people and cut off their heads, and I have at least 100 lives on my own hands, but they are enemies, and I kill them to protect myself, without the slightest fear or guilt. But these are innocent people, and it is really uncomfortable for me to personally order them to be killed. ”
Dai Su'er leaned over and put her face on Song Nan's face and rubbed it lightly a few times, comforting: "Husband, don't think about this, these are their fate, and others can't start." ”
Song Nan looked up at the blue sky and white clouds, and said softly, "Do you know? When Zhu Xiucheng was beheaded, I even had a moment of fantasizing that I was tied there, with my head on the cold wooden stake, waiting for the moment when the blade cut off his head. I could feel the powerlessness and anger, the helplessness of not being able to control my own life and death. ”
Dai Su'er shuddered a little when she heard this, and hurriedly said, "Husband, don't say these scary words, okay?" ”
Song Nan looked at her and smiled: "I don't say this to scare you, I just want to explain a truth, I don't want to be a person like Zhu Xiucheng, I won't let that happen to me and the people around me." Su'er, I actually feel very guilty about you, I have never helped you fulfill your greatest wish, but this time I will fulfill your long-cherished wish for you. ”
Dai Su'er's body trembled, looked at Song Nan in surprise and said, "Husband is talking ......"
Song Nan looked at her and nodded slowly: "Yes, I want to kill Liu Jin and avenge your parents, the time has come." ”
Dai Su'er opened her small mouth, her expression was extremely excited, and a mist rose in her eyes; This is a major event that she is worried about, the culprit of the destruction of the family is in front of her, but she can't move him at all, and secretly Dai Suer has also complained, but she understands that this matter is by no means simple, Song Nan's reluctance to make a move is actually for the sake of the entire Song Mansion, so Dai Suer has never mentioned this matter since she married Song Nan, but when she was sacrificing on the first day of the Qingming Winter Solstice, when she burned incense on the tablet of her parents' grave, she secretly shed tears.
But today, Song Nan took the initiative to mention this matter, and Dai Su'er was pleasantly surprised, and immediately considered the overall situation: "Husband, don't act rashly in order to avenge my parents, today's Liu Jin is not something that can be brought down lightly, for the sake of the Song Mansion, you can't be impulsive." ”
Song Nan smiled and said: "I'm glad that you can think so, but there is a debtor and a debtor, and this matter always has to be resolved, do I have to wait for Liu Jin to die of old age?" Besides, this matter is already in progress, and I can't stop it at this moment, especially after seeing Zhu Xiucheng's tragic situation, it has strengthened my confidence. I can't wait for someone to put a knife on my neck to regret it, I have to pull out the knife and cut him before someone else does it, that's the right thing to do. ”
Dai Su'er bit her lower lip and was silent for a long time, then nodded and said: "Since the husband has decided, the slave family naturally supports it, in short, the husband is careful, Su'er can't help you, but Su'er vows to live and die with her husband." ”
Song Nan reached over and hugged Dai Su'er, kissed her the red lips, and the little county lord's coquettish voice came from afar: "Oh, such affection in broad daylight, are we all dead?" It's not too late to make out in the evening. ”
Dai Su'er blushed and hung her head silently, knowing that Song Nan was really partial to herself, and the eldest woman naturally didn't dare to open her mouth to contradict it, Song Nan looked up with a smile, and saw the little county lord standing on the grass with his waist crossed, holding a pompom ball in his hand, and his face was full of vinegar.
"Come here, let's be affectionate too." Song Nan said with a smile.
"Who is rare." The little county lord twisted his waist and raised his hand to throw the pom-pom, and Lu Qingli jumped to catch it with the racket in his hand.
"You dare to be disobedient." Song Nan gritted his teeth and smiled.
"How did you bite me?" The little county lord turned back and provoked.
Song Nan stood up with a snort, his hands were like eagle claws and pounced, the little county lord turned around and fled, Song Nan chased quickly, the two of them played eagle catch chickens between the grass and trees, in the cheers of Ye Fanggu, Lu Qingli and others, Song Nan successfully succeeded, threw the little county lord on the grass, leaned down and kissed her lips, the little county lord hugged his hands back, and the two began the battle between their lips.
……
On the night of the end of the month, it is dark and I can't see my fingers; In an alley south of Zhengyangmen, it is quiet, although the houses on both sides are ordinary, but there is a house near Zhengyangmen, even if it is an ordinary small courtyard, it is also expensive, it can be seen that the people who live here are not civilian homes.
More than a dozen figures slowly entered from the entrance of the alley, stopped at the entrance of the alley for a while, made sure that no one was watching behind him, one person gave an order in a low voice, five or six black shadows ran to the end of the alley and disappeared in the darkness, and the other five or six black shadows guarded the entrance of the alley, and the remaining three walked calmly and came to a courtyard on the left.
"My lord, this is it." A stout black shadow whispered.
"Okay, let's go inside." The other waved his hand.
The stout black shadow jumped lightly up the wall next to the courtyard gate and jumped in silently, and after a moment the door latch slammed softly, and the courtyard door was opened; The two men outside stepped into the courtyard and walked through the short stone path to the steps of the main house.
The stout black shadow reached into his arms, took out a dagger and gently played with it in the crack of the door, and the latch was pulled open with a bang, and the door was slowly pushed forward, and the three of them entered sideways.
The room was pitch black, and there was a slight snoring sound in the wing room on the right, and the three of them moved over, lifted the curtain, and gently pushed the door, and the door opened, and the sound of sleeping snoring in the room was more clearly audible.
The sleeping master on the bed slept very lightly, and the elderly people slept like dragonflies dotting water, and seemed to sleep very deeply, but in fact, the slightest sound would wake up, and after hearing the strange sound of da-da-da, the owner of the bed suddenly woke up, only to see a spark flashing in the room, which was a spark from the collision of flint and fire.
"Who?" The master stretched out his hand and touched a dagger hanging at the head of the bed, and the sleeping person next to him was also alarmed, and asked lazily, "Master, what's the matter?" ”
Before the master could answer, the room suddenly lit up, the candles on the table had been lit, and three black figures with a style were standing at the head of the bed.
"You ...... Is it a human or a ghost? When the master saw the dagger in the hand of one of them, he gave up the intention of touching the blade, and asked with a trembling body. A young woman next to her also opened her mouth in panic.
"Shhh, Grandpa Cai, don't shout, otherwise you will die." The stout uninvited guest whispered.
As soon as the woman next to her shouted a terrible pretone, she was slapped on the mouth by the owner next to her and shouted: "Shut up, are you going to kill us?" ”
The woman stopped talking in panic, huddled in a corner of the bed, shivering.
"Father-in-law Cai knows the current affairs, puts on his clothes and talks." The stout man spoke.
"What do you want to do? Now that you know my identity and break in late at night, aren't you afraid that it will be difficult to get out afterwards? The old man lifted the quilt and grabbed his clothes and put them on, his skinny body was full of old age spots, compared to the woman beside him, his naked body was young and plump, but it was full of bruises, somehow.
"Father-in-law Cai is living a very nourishing life, there is such a beautiful woman in the outer house, I don't know how my father-in-law suffers it, doesn't my father-in-law have a clean body?" One man took off his hood in the light and showed his face.
That Gonggong Cai opened his mouth and pointed at the man: "You...... You are...... Zhang ......"
"Not bad...... Our family is Zhang Yong, Grandpa Cai, I'm sorry, I came without saying hello to us, disturbing Grandpa Cai's rest. ”
Gonggong Cai didn't have time to get dressed, and struggled to get out of bed and kneel down to salute: "Gonggong Zhang has arrived, our family has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, forgive your sins." ”
Zhang Yong smiled and said: "Why be polite, there is another adult here who I want to introduce to Gonggong Cai, this is the commander of the Jinyi Guard, the commander of the Shenshu Battalion, Marquis Song." ”
Cai Gong almost peed his pants, and watched the thin man lift his hood, revealing a delicate smiling face, and then hurriedly knelt on the ground for the second time and shouted, "Song ...... Lord Song, I will give you a salute. ”
Song Nan smiled and waved his hand: "Grandpa Cai is polite." That one is my Lord Wang, the commander of the Jinyi Guard's Yamen, and the three of us came here without telling us, which is really a bit presumptuous. ”
Father-in-law Cai hurriedly said: "Where is it, Peng Shen is shining, Lan Xiang, why don't you get up to make tea for the three adults?" ”
The woman on the bed was frightened, trembling and crawling out of bed, her body was disheveled, revealing half of her round breasts. Fang, Wang Yong swallowed his saliva when he saw it.
"Don't bother, let this girl go out for a while, I'll talk to Gonggong Cai when I have something." Song Nan said.
"Okay, please sit down." Gonggong Cai hurriedly moved his chair and smiled and asked.
Zhang Yong stared at the buttocks of the young woman who walked out of the door and smiled: "I didn't expect Gonggong Cai to know how to enjoy it so much, hiding such a piece of young fresh meat outside, do you know about this matter from the female official Li of the palace household?" ”
Grandpa Cai smiled embarrassedly: "Grandpa Zhang, you are still here to make fun of me, we are all hard-working people, but we just bought a woman to help warm the bed, what else do you want?" Of course, the young and beautiful feel better, but it's just too much of an addiction. ”
Song Nan listened to what he said explicitly, frowned and sighed in his heart, these old eunuchs are really perverted, obviously they can't enter Hong Kong, but they still have to buy some beautiful women to torture, presumably the bruises on the woman's body come from this.
