The hoarse roar resounded throughout the cell, and the curses of the prisoners rang out one after another.

"Father, mother." Luo Chuan choked up and said, "Children are not filial, children are not filial!" ”

He was unable to bend down, and the pain was so severe that he could not kowtow to his parents, so he could only keep banging his head against the wooden post.

Luo Chuan's father immediately stepped forward to hold his forehead: "Chuan'er, it's not your fault, it's our two who are greedy for wealth and glory, and vainly try to learn the delicacies of the mountains and seas in the town, which has forced you to such a point, it is the fault of the father, and the father can't stand you." ”

"I've been suffering for half my life, and I'm not ashamed when I'm old, what big family to learn, what delicacies to eat." Luo Chuan's mother was teary-eyed, "It's hurt the child, it's hurt the whole family, Chuan'er, my mother feels sorry for you, my mother feels sorry for you." ”

She beat her heart with her hand, and Luo Chuan suddenly couldn't cry.

Luo Chuan put his shoulders against the wooden pillar and reached out to support his mother's shoulders: "Mother, child, child is ashamed of mother." ”

"Don't torment me like this." Luo Chuan's mother wiped away her tears and smiled stiffly, "My mother made you your favorite food, pig's trotters, wild vegetables, and tofu soup." You love tofu soup the most, it's all freshly made, you ...... You taste it. ”

She stammered, tears couldn't stop falling, and the chopsticks were trembling when they reached Luo Chuan's hand.

Luo Chuan's mother served him vegetables, fed him, and handed the spoon to his mouth, and her loving appearance reminded Luo Chuan of his childhood in Daizhou.

The tofu soup is salty, but today's soup is saltier than ever, because there is a lot of bitterness in it, and there are tears dripping from the soup.

The meal was slow and long, and after eating, Luo Chuan's mother rolled her sleeves to wipe the stains from the corners of his mouth.

And at this moment, there were two footsteps in front of one after the other in the corridor.

The former was heavy, the latter was light, and soon arrived in front of the cell where Luo Chuan was.

"Luo Chuan, Ben Tingwei has something to ask you." Chen Qiusheng's face was pale, he looked at Luo Chuan and said, "In the year of Chongwu, the Yanzhou flower boat caught fire, do you know the inside story?" ”

Luo Chuan looked sideways at Chen Qiusheng, his vision was a little blurry, and the pain made him confused, and he couldn't see the shadows hiding in the darkness clearly.

In a trance, he seemed to see a ghost and heard a cold sigh.

The candle flame was still flickering, and so was his heart.

Telling the secret, he has already told a shocking secret, Yu Chengyue blames Yanzhou Mujiang Zimo, this secret is a secret that he was willing to pay with his life to keep.

However, the secret of the Yanzhou Flower Boat is far greater and more dangerous than the previous one.

"Yu Chengyue has already been imprisoned, and the housekeeper Ma Fu has also been imprisoned with him, and you will soon be escorted to Chongdu with them for interrogation." Chen Qiusheng took a deep breath, "This is the last time you will see your parents, and it is also the last chance for you to open your mouth and explain to Ben Tingwei. ”

Luo Chuan frowned, he didn't expect that Yu Chengyue and Ma Fu would actually fall off the horse, and he couldn't help but be impressed by Chen Qiusheng's iron-fisted law enforcement.

"What does Lord Tingwei want to know?" The hair on Luo Chuan's forehead stuck to his mouth, and he looked very depressed, "When I was in the year of Chongwu, I was just a subordinate of the state pastor who had just entered the door. ”

He had reservations, Chen Qiusheng noticed it, and his eyes rolled to glance at Luo Chuan's parents.

"You and dozens of Jianghu guests under the state pastoral government set fire to the flower boat." A slow tone came from behind Chen Qiusheng, "Afterwards, I went up to the city wall, jumped off the moat, and dived outside the city from the bottom of the water to report the progress of the matter to Yu Chengyue. ”

Luo Chuan was stunned, this person said the details at all, who is he?

He immediately stared at the shadowy place behind Chen Qiusheng and said, "Chongwu Nian, I went to the flower boat with Lord Xu, who are you?" ”

"After doing this with your companions, all the doormen gradually disappeared, and I happened to meet a dying man, who told me all the details of the incident." The voice paused, and then said, "He's also dead, and the people who killed him were all killers sent by Ma Fu, and you, as Ma Fu's adopted son, how could you not know it?" ”

Luo Chuan didn't answer, but asked again in a heavy voice: "Who are you?" ”

"That night there was a fire, and I was in the middle of the boat, and the boat was full of people who were burned to death and some who fell into the water and drowned." Out of the shadows came a man, "Look me in the eye and take a closer look at who I am." ”

With a buzz, the candle flame suddenly shook violently and flickered a few times, and then suddenly went out the next moment.

A few rays of hazy moonlight shone on the man's side face, and Luo Chuan looked at that face in shock.

He recognized this man as having been seen by him on the flower boat.

This person was standing beside Le Wushuang at that time, holding a Jiaowei guqin in his arms.

She is the second in Yanzhou piano art and the master of the piano.

Twilight.

……

At that time, Luo Chuan and dozens of doormen were dressed in black, a few people watched and a few people set fires, and the division of labor was clear and clear.

The rivers and lakes are a mixed environment, there are fish, dragons, birds and phoenixes, and most of the people who can devote themselves to the name of Yu Chengyue are old rivers and lakes that eat with mixed mouths.

Since it is an old Jianghu, abiding by benevolence and righteousness has to be done to show your face, cover yourself with a black veil, be a bullshit for benevolence and righteousness, kill people and sell goods, pick flowers and steal treasures.

And that night, before the fireworks boat burned on fire, it was like a group of gangsters entering the courtyard of a deep house, and they were going to commit adultery and adultery.

Luo Chuan was just a miscellaneous subordinate of Ma Fu that year, how could he have seen this kind of chaotic scene, although Ma Fu named him to take people to do errands, but at that time, the scene was completely out of control.

In the boudoir of the shipyard, there were women wailing and screaming, the doormen were drawing swords and killing with their eyes wide open, the officers in graceful official uniforms knelt on the ground begging for mercy, and the cries of children were sandwiched with savage roars.

It was the wild beast that climbed into the boat that night.

Luo Chuan saw Le Wushuang hiding in the pile of clothes at the stern of the boat, Twilight Cloud was in front of her, Luo Chuan was young, as soon as he saw Le Wushuang, his ruthless heart immediately softened, this woman was so beautiful, her young and immature face was full of astonishment and sluggishness.

He is captive of beauty, and his desire drives him to steal this beauty.

He fell in love with Yanzhou's piano and music.

Le Wushuang was holding the baby in his arms, Luo Chuan was at a loss to hold the knife, the sound of shouting and killing gradually came from the aisles on both sides, the chaotic footsteps were approaching, the wailing in the pavilion stimulated his heart, he gasped heavily, clenched the knife and looked at Le Wushuang.

Ma Fu often taught him, the most he said was that the road to fame was full of bones, if he couldn't learn to be hard-hearted, he would be slowed down by human nature on the way to power, and even die!

Be ruthless!

Get rid of all the obstacles that stand in your way to prosperity and wealth, even if you are your own parents!

"Standing on it." Ma Fu looked at Luo Chuan, who was kneeling in front of him, raised his finger and said meaningfully, "It's not a person." ”

The words sent blood rushing through his veins, and he stimulated himself, forced himself, and struggled in the gray area of good and evil.

Ma Fu pressed the top of his head, and said with a smile hidden in his knife: "If you don't recognize your six relatives, you can climb higher." Do you plan to wear a handyman's robe as an errand runner for the rest of your life, or do you sit in a high seat and drink tea and do things, weigh and weigh. ”

Ma Fu smiled in his mind, and Le Wushuang, who showed a pitiful expression, was in his eyes.

He struggled with a helpless choice, the footsteps of the aisles on both sides were imminent, and he could not allow him to ponder the benefits, the reason, the responsibility, and the desire for power, and he almost instinctively raised his fingers to his lips.

He warned them to keep quiet, and then hurriedly covered them with their robes, and then planned to gather their men to evacuate.

After doing this, he completely woke up and recognized himself.

In his bones, there is cowardice and kindness.

A fire was ignited.

The crowd in the cabin fled inside and outside, the woman who was not clothed was stabbed through the belly with a bright knife, blood splashed all over Luo Chuan's face, he looked around in fear, and in a hurry, he shouted loudly that the officers and soldiers were coming.

All the murderous doormen came back to their senses, and the fire had now burned the deck and the side of the ship, and the canvas on the carved eaves was fluttering with flames, flying high with the lake breeze.

The streets on the shore were crowded with people, and the confusion was heightened by the shouts of the crowds, but the ship was already offshore, and the head of the boatman at the helm was soaked in the water, and the blazing fire reflected in the dim eyes.

Luo Chuan was knocked into the lake in the chaos, and when he came out of the water, he thought about Le Wushuang and Twilight Cloud, who were still hiding in the stern, and it was too late for anything.

The fire rose with the wind, the steaming flames on the flower boat were high, and the hot feeling made Luo Chuan swim backwards in fear.

The flower boat floated to the river, and in the starlit night, the wailing on the river sounded for a few moments, until the boat drifted away and was gradually covered by the sound of the Taotao River.

For so many years, Le Wushuang's face lingered in his dreams. Every nightmare, Twilight stands in front of him, his eyes filled with hatred, his mouth silently open and talking.

And she is still alive, standing in front of Luo Chuan's eyes.

The memories of the past kept switching in his mind, Luo Chuan's pupils suddenly contracted, and he said in a trembling voice, "You are still alive." ”

"Yes, alive, alone, alive and well." Twilight Cloud approached and crouched down, looking at Luo Chuan, "Thank you for your pity. Luo Chuan, when I survived, I hated you, I cursed you day and night, every year on the Ghost Festival, I burned incense by the river, praying for the tragic death of the undead so that the arsonists of the year could not die well, and the body died without reincarnation. It wasn't until I happened to meet one of the killers back then, who was begging for food in front of the drunken immortal building, that I realized that cause and effect are reincarnated, and the sky forgives whom. ”

"This is retribution." Luo Chuan raised his hands that were clasped in shackles, "I have to repay it, I regret it." ”

"I don't hate you now, Luo Chuan." Twilight Yunfeng smiled lightly, "Le Wushuang is the best in Kyushu, although she was born in the fireworks willow land, she is the red sleeve trick in the Golan Washer, but the name of Kyushu is the pinnacle." At the peak, the body is involuntary, and fate is involuntary. I am like a sister to her, and every day I live, I have to avenge her grievances, you ...... Willing to tell the truth? ”

Luo Chuan lowered his head and was silent for a long time.

"Chuan'er." Luo Chuan's father said a little crampedly, "But ask for a clear conscience." ”

Luo Chuan looked up at his parents.

After a long time, he turned to Twilight, but there was no hatred in Twilight's eyes, only pity.
