"I'm already a wasted person, my right leg is gone, my left leg is broken, barely supported, I can walk with crutches, this is not only my heart can't get by, the princely family who wants a façade will never tolerate me, even if I pity me and let me live, without strength, there is only one way to die."

"Then make do with life and look for opportunities." Xiao Ye refused again.

"If I refuse, I'll die here now." Xiao Bai pulled out a short sword out of nowhere, and it had stabbed himself in the throat, but fortunately, the stab was not deep, only a little blood flowed out.

"Okay, okay, you sit up first, and we'll talk slowly." Xiao Ye was afraid that Xiaobai would commit suicide, firstly, he would regret his life, and secondly, he would never have the opportunity to get rid of Xiaobai's identity, but he had been touched by Xiaobai's resolute determination.

"Childe, please agree first." Xiaobai didn't mean to get up, and continued to persecute.

"Okay, I promise, put the sword down." The master had no choice but to come down first.

The master helped Xiaobai who put down the short sword and sat down, and then sat opposite him.

"It's too selfish to force your son. If I don't hide it from my son, I'm afraid my life will not be long. That day, he was shocked into a deep ravine by an explosion from nowhere, but fortunately a hunter rescued him, and he was afraid that something would happen again, so he didn't let Orion report to the official. barely saved his life, and his chest tightness was severe in the past few days, and blood coughed up from time to time. I'm afraid that the internal organs will be broken, and they can no longer support it. ”

"Later, it was rumored that Xiaobai had dementia, and I knew that someone must have replaced me. I'm afraid that this person has other plans, and his injuries have not healed, so I follow you here to expose you. Later, I heard that the son was benevolent and righteous, treated his subordinates like brothers, and treated his words and courtesies as his own. I begged here for a few days, and it was common for the son to come in and out with words and courtesies, and the behavior was intimate, and he was really like a father and son. ”

"Xiaobai, I really like Yanli, but it's not my own flesh and blood, he needs a father, as for your injury, I'll ask Lang Zhong or even the imperial doctor to treat you, you must not take the road of death." The master said.

"My life is useless, and secondly, it is extremely unfavorable to Childe. So for me, dying makes the most sense. Xiaobai replied.

"Otherwise, I promise to save your whole family. You can recuperate with peace of mind, don't think about death, I have some money, let Zhu Jiu buy dozens of acres of land for you outside the city, and you will be a landlord. Xiaobai said.

"Childe is benevolent and righteous, but I have made up my mind. Here are my network of contacts, contact information and code for five years. This son will protect my family without worry, and if you want to achieve great things, you can also help you. Xiaobai said and handed over a gray and white object.

The master took it and saw that it was a parchment scroll, on which the official position and name were densely written, and there was a code word under each official position. Further down are the places where weapons and belongings are hidden. Xiao Ye's prophecy stopped, he couldn't think of what to say, he still didn't want to accept the identity of Gongzi Xiaobai, and he didn't want to see Xiaobai leave this world after explaining, if he hadn't suddenly appeared, how could Xiaobai fall into the deep ravine and become like this?

Gongzi Xiaobai only cared about talking to himself, and did not notice the embarrassed expression of the young master, his only purpose now was to do his best to help the young master protect his family.

"In addition to Hongyu and Yanli, I also have a mother in Jiangyuan. In addition to these three people, if the servants in various places can be saved, please try to protect them as much as possible. Xiaobai said without pause, as if he didn't give the master a chance to speak, or as he said that there was not much time left for him, and he talked about it to himself.

"Fu, hypocrisy, my murder has nothing to do with him. In his eyes, his brother is only an enemy who will take over the throne in the future. I was bullied by him when I was younger, and I remember when I was five years old......"

Fifteen years ago, it has been ten years since the Duke of Su succeeded to the throne in the source of Dongshengjiang, and the ministers who were dying of the orphans except Ziyuan were still adhering to the teachings of the previous king and strictly disciplining the Duke of Su, and the others had already been in the gentle township and did not ask about political affairs.

In Jiangyuan City, the building is high and the city is wide, and a palace built a hundred years ago, like the current owner Su Gong was suppressed by Ziyuan, was pressed by dark clouds, and it also pressed the young children in the palace, Xiaobai, who was also out of breath.

Xiaobai is the most humble kind of concubine - as a palace maid, her mother was forced to conceive him, and Su Gong's mother never recognized this daughter-in-law before her death, saying that she was very hypocritical. Although Xiaobai is only five years old, he understands human affection and love better than children of the same age.

Xiao Bai stood alone in the courtyard, looking at the dark clouds, although he was depressed, he couldn't breathe, but he was never afraid of this black oppression, but expected, expected that the wind, lightning, thunder and rain would come more violently. If it weren't for this high-walled and deep courtyard, he would rather be a teenager running after a thunderstorm.

The rainstorm was about to fall, and the mother called, "Xiaobai, come into the house." ”

Xiaobai didn't want to go back, pretending not to hear. But I heard a sour and harsh, motherly summons: "The temple department invites Xiaobai to go to the temple." ”

This temple is the place where the ancestors of Su Gong stored the tablets, and it is also the place where the descendants are admonished and punished. Xiaobai has been there many times, every time he goes, he just kneels there, no one pays attention to him, and there is nothing to do, of course, the hardest is his eldest brother, who never recognizes him - Fu.

"Grandpa Sun, this rain is coming soon, do you want to stop the rain and go again?" Xiaobai's mother asked.

"Since it's been passed on, you should go, Gongzifu has gone, what is there to be hypocritical about you."

Grandpa Sun's sharp and caustic tone was incompatible with the dull thunder coming from afar. Why don't you come and kill this annoying eunuch with a thunderbolt? Xiaobai thought in his heart, he had to follow his father-in-law to the palace temple.

Xiaobai could only kneel when he entered the temple, he secretly looked up at the temple and did not see Fu, and secretly scolded this eunuch who was not castrated cleanly, and he was deceiving people. The rain outside the hall seemed to be unintentionally drenched in Xiaobai, and then it poured down, and it also fell for half an hour.

The rain stopped, the sun set, and just then came reluctantly surrounded by a group of eunuchs and palace maids.

Today, the deacon sect man, seeing Fu, ran out to meet him from afar, and the licking look on his face was even more hateful than that father-in-law. Xiaobai, I didn't dare to look back, just listened, listening to the praise and greetings of my father-in-law, palace maid, and deacon.

Fu is already ten years old, it stands to reason that he knows more about human feelings than Xiaobai, in fact, he is indeed like a four-year-old naughty boy, except for the beauty of his birth, he is useless, but he is the eldest son, and the luck given by God makes him arrogant except for Su Gong, no one dares to say a "no" word.

Several adults crowded around a ten-year-old child and poured into the temple.

"Damn eunuch, get out. You can enter the temple. Fu scolded.

The father-in-law only cared about patting the sycophants, but forgot to step into the temple with one foot.

"And you maids, waiting outside." Fu ordered.

The elder brother is the elder brother, and he has set an example for this group of younger brothers, and this is how he should treat his subordinates. But Xiaobai, how dare you, none of the eunuchs and palace maids in this palace are looking at him, so let alone scolding.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this time I came to the temple, the deacon only asked two questions, the first question is who went to the back garden this morning?"

Dozens of sons, look at me, I'll look at you, and just took the lead and said, "I'm going." ”

In addition to Xiaobai, the other sons also said casually, "I went too." ”

The deacon asked Xiaobai again, "You didn't go to the back garden in the morning?" ”

"Well, I didn't go." Xiaobai has 10,000 scoldings in his heart, isn't it forbidden to lie in this temple?

"Then you go back first." The deacon said.

Xiao Bai kowtowed a few more times to the tall platform full of tablets, got up and confirmed to the deacon that he could go?

The deacon nodded, and Xiaobai gently retreated.

In the temple, the deacon asked again, "Then who are you who smashed that vat?" ”

Only then did he understand why he asked who had been to the back garden, and he replied that he had been. Frankly speaking, the vat was just smashed. At that time, a small pebble made a crisp sound when it hit the vat, and I wondered if a bigger stone would sound better.

Pick up a stone and throw it. This time the sound was much better than that of a pebble, and with a bang, a full tank of water gushed out, and a red carp followed the water to the ground, jumping and staggering.

How big a vat can be in the palace, but this group of children panicked, especially Fu, the first to escape, ran back to the side hall, and kept silent. Who would have thought that this tank is not valuable, but the red carp in the tank is Su Gong's beloved thing. The red carp was only discovered in half a day, and under the scorched sun, it was quite lucky that it didn't become a dried fish.

It also happened that Su Gong went to visit the fish in the afternoon.

Several fathers-in-law pointed out that there was a son-in-law playing in the back garden in the morning, and they also heard the sound of the water tank breaking, but as for who it was, no one said they saw it. Seven or eight-year-old children always have someone to follow to prevent accidents, and there were indeed a few fathers-in-law who followed, and they saw that Fu smashed the water tank for the sound, but they just didn't dare to say it!

"Let me ask again, who smashed the water tank?" The deacon, who had not seen anyone answer for a long time, asked again.

"Deacon, it was smashed by Xiaobai." This time, I folded back all the mistakes that I shouldn't have said about going to the back garden.

"Well, it's Xiaobai, we've all seen it." All the sons agreed.

"Didn't Xiaobai say that he didn't go to the back garden?" The deacon asked.

"Hey, he must have lied." The eunuchs outside the hall chimed in.

"Then don't chase it back!" The deacon seemed to understand something, and said hurriedly.

Several eunuchs hurriedly took small steps to catch up with Xiaobai, who was rushing to the side courtyard alone.

How could the eunuch who should be killed catch up again, there is absolutely no good thing. Xiaobai thought in his heart, but he had no choice but to let it go.

Xiaobai returned to the temple, and the deacon said directly: "You went to the back garden in the morning, and smashed the water tank, but you lied in this temple. Twenty lashes according to the law. ”

"I didn't go to the back garden in the morning, and I kept writing with my mother. My mother can testify for me. ”

"Just with the sons to identify you, what else do you have to quibble." The deacon said again.

"I didn't go, I just didn't go, my mother can testify, why don't you believe it?" Xiaobai said again, there was a cry in his voice, he was afraid of whipping, and he was even more afraid of his mother's crying after seeing him being tortured.

"Fu, how can you lie. Someone comes, and he is flogged. The deacon didn't listen to Xiaobai's arguments, and he didn't want to hear them at all, or he didn't have to listen to them, because he had identified him.
