Ding Jinzhi begged Lu Wenzheng with tears in his eyes not to kill his son, but Lu Wenzheng was iron-faced and selfless, did not let go, and solemnly ordered the guards to push Ding Jiwu out and behead him.

Ding Jinzhi was completely confused at this time, and said incoherently: "Don't, don't...... Please, don't kill my son, don't kill my son! ……”

At this time, the execution guard came up with a tray and replied to Lu Wenzheng: "My lord, the criminal has experienced the correct body and the correct punishment, please check it!" ”

When Ding Jinzhi heard this, he immediately froze in place like a stupid, like a withered tree, his face was as white as paper, and the flesh and blood on his body seemed to have been dried by the air, and he could wither and die at any time.

Ding Yurong, the housekeeper on the side, saw his terrible expression, he only felt cold and sad, he only carefully supported Ding Jinzhi's trembling body, but he didn't know what to say to comfort his master, just said with tears in his eyes: "Master......"

At this time, Ding Jinzhi only felt that his eyes were black for a while, and his mind gradually became blank, and then he didn't know anything......

When Ding Jinzhi woke up from the nightmare of palpitation, there were bursts of mournful crying in his ears.

The cry seemed distant at first, suspected to be in a dream; Then it became clearer. He slowly opened his eyes, and saw a large circle of people around him, including his wife Xu, son Ding Jiying, housekeeper Ding Yurong, and several cronies Ding Yi and Ding Xin.

Mrs. Ding whimpered, "Master, you have finally woken up." You don't know how scared we were when you were unconscious......"

Ding Jinzhi's mind was still chaotic and confused at this time, and Mu Ran said: "What about Jiwu, why is he not here?" Didn't he go back to the capital? ……”

Mrs. Ding cried again, "Master, are you in pain?" Isn't Jiwu already ...... Woo woo ......" Before the words were finished, there was another sobbing cry in the room.

Ding Jinzhi couldn't help but burst into tears, and sighed: "God, why are you doing this to me? Let me lose my son in old age, and suffer like this in my twilight years? ……”

said that Ding Jiying returned to his room in despair, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw the [red bean] poem on the wall, and the beautiful picture scroll next to the poem.

Since Lu Qiuyue ran away from home a few months ago, Ding Jiying became lovesick, so he invited a painter to paint a beautiful picture scroll according to Lu Qiuyue's appearance, hanging it in the bedroom, night and night, chatting to comfort the pain of lovesickness in his heart.

Ding Jiying looked at the lifelike beauty painting scroll on the wall with fascination, and silently recited the little poem:

Red beans are born in the south of the country,

A few branches are sent in spring.

May you pick more,

This thing is the most lovely.

In the face of the beautiful woman's shadow, the past is vivid, as if it was yesterday.

He couldn't help but feel sad, burst into tears, and muttered, "Ding Jiying, you are too stupid...... You know that she doesn't like you, you know that she likes other men in her heart, but you don't dare to admit it; What's more, she is still the daughter of an enemy, and her father killed your brother......

"Hahaha, you should hate her, but why do you still miss her like this? Ding Jiying, aren't you still giving up? ……”

He silently plucked the poems and paintings on the wall and threw himself into the blazing coals. In the curling green smoke, only the dim ashes were left to fly aimlessly, like patches of gray butterflies, like his gray and cold heart.

The night is heavy and autumnal,

Drizzle in front of the lamp, the eaves fall.

But there are ghosts and gods in Juegao's crying,

Do you know that you hate to fill the ravines?

That night, the autumn rain was dashing, and the clouds were sassy, sometimes urgent, sometimes slow.

The sky is gray, and the heart is heavy.

Ding Jinzhi was alone in the study, drinking a pot of old wine, while softly chanting the ancient poem, which had been changed by him, chewing the bitterness in his mouth, tasting the pain in his heart, and only feeling depressed and hateful.

He not only hated Lu Wenzheng, but also hated the emperor, the court, and all hateful people. There was only one thought in his heart: revenge! ……

He said to himself: "Lu Wenzheng, you killed my son today, and in the future, I will let you repay everything today at a tenfold price!" ”

Suddenly, there was a sound of light footsteps behind him.

Ding Jinzhi turned his head weakly, only to see a clear and handsome Taoist priest in Tsing Yi who had slowly approached him. The hazy moonlight coldly combed the solemn and deep face of the Taoist priest in Tsing Yi.

Ding Jinzhi raised his drunken eyes, glanced at him and said, "How did you get in?" ”

The Taoist priest in Tsing Yi didn't answer, but changed the topic and said, "Lord Ding, have you made up your mind now?" ”

Ding Jinzhi's resentful eyes shot a cold murderous intent, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Of course! I want revenge! As long as I can kill Lu Wenzheng's old man......"

The obscure eyes of the Taoist priest in Tsing Yi flashed, "Could it be that the only person Lord Ding wants to get rid of is Lu Wenzheng?" ”

Ding Jinzhi was stunned for a moment.

The Taoist priest in Tsing Yi sneered, and his laughter was gloomy and terrifying, making people shudder.

It turned out that this Taoist priest in Tsing Yi was Bai Yu.

The Ministry of Criminal Affairs Shangshufu. In a quiet and quiet pavilion.

Mo Shuiling's heart, which had been shrouded in clouds for many days, finally opened up.

Yes, now that my sister has been wronged, and the enemy has received the retribution she deserves, it is time for her to breathe a sigh of relief and have a good time. A happy smile finally appeared on her face after a long absence.

What's next? Of course, I went to the inn to find my great benefactor Du Zhenghai! She once told him that as long as she redressed her grievances for her sister, she would go away with him and find a paradise to live in seclusion, and live a good life of farming and weaving.

Mo Shuiling got up and walked out. He was going to bid farewell to Lord Lu and Ling Yun, and at the same time thanked them for their help to her.

As soon as she went out, she saw Yang Zhenfeng coming in a hurry, "Miss Mo, where are you here!" Hurry up, the Holy Lord in the front hall has sent Gonggong Feng, waiting to summon you! ”

Mo Shuiling couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, what, the Holy Lord sent someone to summon me? She didn't understand, what did the dignified king of a country do when he summoned her a little folk girl on a pilgrimage?

Yang Zhen saw that she was just stunned, so he urged: "Miss Mo, don't hesitate, let's go!" ”

Mo Shuiling replied vaguely, and hurriedly walked forward with Yang Zhen in a nervous mood.

In the hall, Mo Shui Ling's head was lowered, his eyebrows were lowered and he knelt on the ground, respectfully receiving the holy decree; Lu Wenzheng, Ling Yun, Xu Zhi, Yang Zhen and others also held their breath and stood aside.

Feng Lin looked solemn and read out the holy will aloud:

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor said:

Today, there is a Yu family collection of people's daughter Mo Shuiling, knowledgeable and reasonable, virtuous and virtuous, beautiful and wise, I am very happy, specially named the spirit concubine, and enter the palace to accompany the holy car on the same day.

Chin this! ”

The people below were agitated.

Mo Shuiling was also like a fool, and stayed there in a daze for a long time without saying a word; She didn't seem to understand the meaning of the decree.

What did the emperor say, let her enter the palace to accompany the holy driver? In other words, she will stay in the palace for the rest of her life and be the emperor's woman forever! …… What about Du Gongzi, who he loves deeply in his heart? What about the beautiful pastoral life that I have been longing for for many days?

At that moment, she felt as if one of her hearts was tightly grasped by a big hand, and then she resolutely took it out and threw it mercilessly into the ice and snow.

Just now, she was still overjoyed, and she was excited to go to see Du Zhenghai, stay with her beloved for a lifetime, and grow old together; Now, the unforgiving reality shattered her dreams in a blink of an eye. From now on, all good wishes will turn into smoke and a spring dream!

She couldn't figure it out, she couldn't figure it out, why did fate play such a cruel joke on her? Her starry eyes closed, and two lines of tears slid down her cheeks.

Feng Lin saw that Mo Shuiling's face was pale and his expression was extremely terrifying, so he hurriedly asked cautiously, "Concubine Lingniang, what's wrong with you?" Isn't it uncomfortable there? ”

Mo Shuiling's lips moved, and he wanted to say something, but he felt as if his chest was pressed by a boulder, and he couldn't say a word.

She only felt a trance in front of her eyes, and her mind began to drift. She tilted and fainted.

There was a panic in the hall......

On a wine table on the second floor of Zhengyang Restaurant, Du Zhenghai was drinking one cup after another. There were cups and plates on the table, and the dishes and chopsticks were in disarray, and it was clear that he had been drinking here for a long time.

While drinking, he recited a poem by Du Fu inarticulately:

Autumn comes to look at each other and is still fluttering,

He was not ashamed of Ge Hong.

Drink and sing in the air,

Who is the hero?

He suddenly smiled bitterly, and when he finished laughing, he poured another glass of bitter wine into his stomach. At this time, one hand held his cup, "Brother Du, don't drink it." ”

He didn't have to look up, he already knew who was coming.

"Come, Brother Ling, have a drink with the little brother. The ancient sages were all lonely, and only the drinker left his name,...... The bells and drums are not expensive enough, but I hope to be drunk and do not want to wake up...... Come, drink! ……”

The person who came was Ling Yun. He frowned slightly, sat down beside Du Zhenghai, and sighed: "I know you are very bitter in your heart, but you don't have to torture yourself in this way!" Can you get drunk by drinking and get rid of the pain in your heart, and can you buy a solution to your problem? ”

Du Zhenghai's eyes were filled with a layer of mist, and Mu Ran said: "But now, what else can I do?" Seeing my beloved go to the kind of place where no one is a ghost or a ghost, I can't do anything about it...... The world is unfair, the court is stupid, and the emperor is a fucking bastard! ……”

As soon as the words came out, the words were shocked. The people around him looked curiously at this side; There are even more timid and fearful people, for fear of getting into trouble, so they hurriedly settled the account with the shopkeeper and left the table in a hurry.

Ling Yun's clear eyes turned around, and said with a wry smile: "Brother Du, if you shout like this again, you will provoke the people of the government, but you can't eat and walk around." ”

Du Zhenghai glanced at him lazily with wild eyes and said, "People from the government, aren't you from the government, why don't you come to arrest me?" ”
