Chapter 323: Cui Jing Dies
"I ...... I......? ”
When asked why Cui Sheng hadn't read the newspaper in the past few days, Cui Sheng's eyes dodged, and he didn't dare to look directly at Lao Tzu for fear of being beaten.
Because he has been lingering in the Qinglou for the past few days, he has sold almost everything that can be sold in his house!
It's just that the door is closed all day, and Lao Tzu lingers on the sickbed, so he never found out!
"Okay, it's in vain that your kid is the eldest son, and he doesn't care about the affairs of the family at all......!"
Seeing his son's expression, Cui Jingtong already understood, "Okay now, all the net worth of our Cui family is pressed into those furs, and now that the imperial court has other methods to keep out the cold, it is impossible for the people to buy those furs at a high price, let's just wait for the spring, and those furs will be put in the warehouse to give birth to insects!" ”
After speaking, Cui Jingtong felt like a boulder in his chest, and he could only breathe heavily to get better!
"Dad, isn't there any other way?"
After being scolded for being scolded, worried that Lao Tzu would suddenly make a move, Cui Sheng subconsciously took two steps back, made a bitter face, and asked without giving up.
"Method? What else can be done? The only way is to wait for the Xiang family, if they can succeed, our family can still be saved, if not, our Cui family's children and grandchildren, for the rest of their lives, will live with those furs! ”
Knowing that his health was not good, Cui Jingtong tried his best to calm his mood.
"Xiang Jia...... ...... Xiang family? ”
Speaking of the Xiang family, Cui Sheng seemed to suddenly think of something, and hurriedly touched it into his arms, "Dad, letter!" The Xiang family has a letter! ”
This was delivered to the house two days ago, and he was just about to go out and ran into it, so he put it in his arms.
I haven't remembered it for the past two days!
If it weren't for Lao Tzu mentioning the Xiang family today, he might have to carry it on his body for ten days and a half months!
"A letter from the Xiang family? Show me! ”
Cui Jingtong's eyes lit up, hoping that he could see some good news.
But as soon as he opened the letter, he was dumbfounded.
"Dad, what does the letter say?"
Seeing Lao Tzu's reaction, Cui Sheng's heart also chuckled, and a bad premonition arose.
"Poof......
However, in the next second, Lao Tzu spurted a mouthful of blood onto the letter.
Blood soaked the paper and bloomed into a small bright red flower!
"Daddy...... Father...... What's wrong with you, Dad! ”
Cui Sheng hurriedly stepped forward to check the situation.
"Sir, how are you? Hold on, I'll call Lang Zhong! ”
The incident happened suddenly, and the housekeeper was also a little panicked, and after reacting, he quickly ran out.
"Rebel son...... Unfilial son! ”
After Cui Jingtong coughed twice in a row, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, pointed at his son and scolded, "Do you still count on the Xiang family?" The Xiang family has lost the support of the nobles of the Five Kingdoms and has gone to Xianyang, intending to assassinate the little prince in order to gain a chance! ”
"That'...... Then when they succeed, there should still be a chance to oppose Qin, Dad, when the world is in chaos, our backlog of fur will still have a chance to make a move! ”
Different from Lao Tzu's reaction, after listening to these words, Cui Sheng seemed to see hope.
"Humph! There is a fart opportunity for the special mother, and she has lost the support of the nobles of the five countries, and the Xiang family is fighting alone, and it is a fool's dream to assassinate the little boy in Xianyang City! If I'm not mistaken, the Xiang family is planning to fight to the death! ”
"The letter said that it will inevitably be discovered, and their Xiang family wants to live in our mansion, I hope we will cooperate!"
"Once the clues are discovered by the Flying Eagles or the Black Ice Platform in the city, our entire Cui family will suffer!"
As he spoke, Cui Jingtong shed tears in disappointment.
No matter how you say it, their Cui family is also a century-old family.
Unexpectedly, when it came to his generation, not only did his family fall into the middle of the road, but he also had to exile his whole family, and he didn't know if he would live or not!
"Dad, that'...... Shall we not let them come? Pretend that everything has nothing to do with us? ”
Speaking of the possibility of being implicated, Cui Sheng also panicked, and the hands holding Lao Tzu began to tremble.
"Humph! Don't let them come? This letter was sent a few days ago, and it is estimated that they are already on the road at this time, so what is the use of writing a letter now to prevent them from coming? Besides, the letter has already said that if we can't settle down in Cui's house, after being discovered by the officers and soldiers, they will explain our hoarding of fur! ”
"At that time, even if the government doesn't arrest us, the people of Xianyang City will have to eat and skin our grandfather alive, which is not good!"
Cui Jingtong patted his thigh and said sadly.
"Dad, that'...... Let's run, run now! ”
Cui Sheng's eyes rolled, as if he had been scared silly.
No matter what, it is impossible for their Cui family to return to the glory they used to be, and if they can't keep it, they will have to be killed and exiled, so it's no wonder if he doesn't panic!
"Run? I, Cui Jingtong, have stayed in this Cui family all my life, where do you let me go? Besides, where else can I run with my body? ”
Cui Jingtong sneered twice.
"Yes! Daddy, you...... Your body is not good, our Cui family can't live without a queen! ”
As he spoke, Cui Sheng gradually let go of the hand holding Cui Jingtong, stood up, and gradually stepped back.
"What are you going to do?"
"You kid bring me back!"
After understanding what his son meant, Cui Jingtong supported his body, tried to stand up, and roared at his son.
"Dad, you...... Take care, son...... My son will find a way to carry forward our Cui family in the future! ”
However, the more he scolded, the faster his son's steps became.
If there was any problem before, Lao Tzu had a way to solve it.
But this time, even Lao Tzu can't solve it, and the things at home are all sold by him, so what are you waiting for if he doesn't leave?
Could it be that those thieves will live in their mansion and be implicated after the assassination fails?
He's running away now, and if the assassination is successful, it's not too late to come back.
When the time comes, he will say that he is going out for a walk, and it is common for him not to return home anyway!
"You kid stop me, stop ......!"
Cui Jingtong didn't know where he got the strength to stand up by the bed.
Pointing at his son's back and drinking!
However, Cui Sheng had already run out quickly, and he couldn't catch up even if he wanted to!
"Bang ......"
Cui Jingtong was in a hurry, a mouthful of blood sprayed to the ground, and he leaned back directly, falling to the ground, making a muffled sound.
"Sir...... Master...... What's wrong with you, sir! ”
At this moment, the housekeeper just ran back with Lang Zhong and rushed forward, constantly shaking Cui Jingtong's body.
But no matter how he shouted, Cui Jingtong still didn't react at all.
"Alas......! Mourn! ”
Lang Zhong checked it, shook his head helplessly, picked up the medicine box, sighed deeply, and turned to leave.
