Chapter 354: Pleading
Zhang Yuchen couldn't believe what he heard: "Second uncle, is there no other way?" ”
Sacrifice him?
He is not yet forty years old, and it is the prime of life when he is happy, how can he be willing to die.
"You think you have a choice?" Zhang Shoufu looked at Zhang Yuchen, with disappointment hidden in his eyes, "Whether you want to or not, you can't escape death, the difference is only whether my Zhang clan will be uprooted and completely cut off." Yuchen, do you want to be my Zhang's sinner through the ages? ”
Zhang Yuchen, who was once a teenager, stood in front of him and said that there was a plan to separate the emperor and queen. It turns out that this decisiveness is only for others, not for oneself.
Beads of sweat rolled down Zhang Yuchen's forehead, and he nodded with difficulty: "I listen to the second uncle." ”
Zhang Shoufu's eyes showed a look of relief, and he talked about the arrangement: "Wait for tomorrow's ......"
It was already midnight when he left Zhang's house, Zhang Yuchen's footsteps were heavy, and when he was about to get home, he suddenly quickened his pace.
Wang had been standing at the door of the house and waiting, and when he saw Zhang Yuchen greet him, he choked up and shouted: "Master, you are back." ”
Zhang Yuchen didn't speak, holding Wang's hand.
The hand was so cold that he shivered.
The husband and wife entered the house.
Zhang Yuchen didn't take the clothes handed over by Wang, went straight to the study to rummage for a while, and threw a bunch of letters and papers into the basin and lit them.
He stared at the paper in the basin burning to ashes, walked out, and said the first thing he said after returning to his worried wife: "Huiniang, I want to leave home for refuge." ”
"Master-" Wang had already guessed that a catastrophe was coming, and tears fell after hearing this.
Zhang Yuchen pressed Wang's shoulders with both hands: "The second uncle asked me to accept my fate, but I was unwilling." If I escape, there may be a way to live, but if I don't escape, I will die. ”
Wang nodded with tears: "I understand." Sir, go quickly. ”
Looking at his tearful wife, Zhang Yuchen felt uncomfortable: "Huiniang, I can't take you with me." But I'm gone, and you may still have a way to live. If I am arrested, our husband and wife will really be a dead end......"
"That'...... What about Wan'er? Wang couldn't help but ask.
The two have been married for many years and have a son and a daughter, the eldest son was sent back to his hometown in the south seven or eight years ago. The external saying is that the husband and wife stay with their grandparents to fulfill their filial piety, but in fact, this is a back road left by Zhang Yuchen.
He is just used to using ruthless means to achieve his goals, which does not mean that he is not afraid of the consequences of failure and exposure.
The youngest daughter, Zhang Wan, has always stayed by her side.
"The law of Great Xia is open to the women's family. As long as I can escape and contact the forces that are secretly operating in the shadows, I will definitely take your mother and daughter out. ”
Wang wiped his eyes: "Master, let's go." ”
Zhang Yuchen disguised himself, finally took a deep look at Wang, and slipped out of the back door.
The dark clouds in the sky did not know when they dispersed, and the stars sparsely scattered into the sky.
Zhang Yuchen took a breath, and the coolness was bone-chilling.
At this time, it is impossible to get out of the city, and when it reaches the emperor tomorrow, Jin Linwei will look for people with great fanfare, and it will be a matter of time before he is found hiding in the city.
The only chance is to wait for the city gates to open early in the morning, and take advantage of the time difference before the news spreads to sneak out of the city.
Over the years, he has done a lot of evil things, and Zhang Yuchen is prepared. At this time, he had a set of road guide identities in his arms, which was convenient for him to gain a foothold after escaping from the capital.
Zhang Yuchen went straight to the city gate.
Near the city gate, he secretly bought a dwelling, stayed there for half the night, and as soon as the gate opened, he left the city.
As for Zhang Shoufu's words to persuade him, Zhang Yuchen sneered.
If he could live, why would he sacrifice himself for his people? Those clansmen are not his parents and children, and they enjoy the benefits he brings on weekdays, and when something happens, they still want him to bear it, won't they take advantage of all the good things?
Zhang Yuchen thought like this and walked fast.
"Where are Zhang Langzhong going?" A cool voice suddenly sounded, startling Zhang Yuchen to stop abruptly.
Not far ahead, a vermilion figure stood tall, holding a lamp in his hand.
The light illuminated his jade-like face.
Congratulations!
Zhang Yuchen's eyes shrank, and he turned around to run, and several Jinlin guards wearing dark guard uniforms behind him looked at him expressionlessly.
Zhang Yuchen suddenly lost the strength to escape.
He practiced boxing and kicking for a few years when he was young, mainly to strengthen his body, and he was really vulnerable to military generals.
Resistance is nothing more than self-inflicted humiliation.
Thinking of the consequences of falling into Jinlinwei, Zhang Yuchen's face changed, and he took out the dagger hidden in his sleeve and stabbed it into his heart.
With a pain in his wrist, he let go, and the dagger fell to the ground, making a clear sound in the silence of the night.
He Qingxiao came to Zhang Yuchen with a light smile on his lips: "Zhang Langzhong doesn't need to be so anxious. Take. ”
The stars in the sky were obscured by the clouds again, and it was still early before dawn, and there was movement in many mansions, and the hundred officials and nobles who were qualified to go out in the early court were going out.
Some people knew about the movement of the Zhang clan's residence last night, and some people didn't know, and when they gathered outside the palace gate to wait for the early dynasty, they saw Zhang Shoufu coming with a thorn on his back.
An uninformed person wondered and asked, "Zhang Shoufu, are you—"
Many more stood far away, afraid to come over.
Zhang Shoufu must have something big happening like this, what if he gets into trouble?
The ministers whispered in twos and threes, and suddenly a commotion came.
"It's a hard wait!"
"Why is Xin Zhizhao here?"
Zhang Shoufu heard the movement and slowly turned his head to look over.
The girl in the green robe combed her hair in a simple bun, and a hairpin was inserted diagonally between the buns, and a shining pearl fell down.
She is obviously wearing a men's official uniform, but her makeup does not deliberately downplay the characteristics of women, as if it is natural for women to wear official uniforms.
Zhang Shoufu felt that the thorn strip on his back seemed to have turned into a red-hot iron rod, burning his skin and flesh, and his heart hurt.
This girl is the culprit who will cause the Zhang family building to collapse!
But at this moment, not only can he not show his hatred, but he also-
Zhang Shoufu secretly took a breath and walked towards Xin Yu.
Under the gaze of countless pairs of eyes, Zhang Shoufu stopped when he walked to a distance of one zhang from Xin Yu.
Those low voices disappeared at some point, and there was silence outside the palace gate waiting for the early dynasty, all curious about what Zhang Shoufu was going to say to Xin Beizhao.
Zhang Shoufu is old, he will never scold a little girl in public, right?
Many people speculated wildly, secretly rubbing and giving birth to a trace of anticipation.
Xin Yu was also curious about Zhang Shousuke's plans.
She was not qualified to participate in the Chang Dynasty, but she came here today to sue. Seeing that Zhang Shoufu was carrying a thorn, he had to admire this person's open-mindedness.
is ruthless to others and ruthless to himself, no wonder he has been evergreen in the court so far.
Zhang Shoufu didn't care about those curious eyes at this time, and after glancing at Xin Yu, he suddenly knelt down.
When he knelt down, he stunned the ministers.
