Chapter 630: Finally Waiting for You
"My father was also forced to beg for bones. The reason is simple: he impeached Wu Qiansi. He was impeached for conspiracy with several garrison governors, deficits, and corruption.
The facts were clear and the evidence was conclusive. My father thought that he could bring down Wu Qiansi in one fell swoop, but he didn't expect that His Majesty not only accepted it, but also reminded Wu Qiansi.
Wu Qiansi took a copy of my father's copy. Said my father: connived at the students to make trouble.
Do you still remember that before the Great Qing Dynasty was investigated, many monks meditated outside the palace gate?
Do you remember that after that, many scholars and students also participated in the meditation?
It was a big deal.
And among those scholars, a few of them were my father's students.
Although he was not pursued by His Majesty afterwards because of the large number of people involved, the matter was brought up again, and my father had to submit a petition to Zhishi to return to his hometown in order to save the students.
His Majesty agreed.
My father returned to Shehong County.
It's just that he became depressed and became ill because of this, and halfway back to his hometown, he was attacked and killed by unknown people, and he was slightly injured.
In that attack, my family, who had been with my father for decades, died trying to defend my father's sword.
My father was sad and hated Wu Qiansi even more.
He believes that this is the idea of cutting the grass and eradicating the roots.
But what can be done?
It would be nice to be able to pick up a life.
But in the end, he died of depression.
I reported the funeral and rushed back to serve the filial piety period.
In fact, at that time, I wondered if my father died on purpose so that I could get out of the dark vortex of officialdom. ”
Chen Boyu stopped here when he said this.
He spoke very concisely, and he had been trying to breathe, and at this time, he finally let himself cough and gasp for a few breaths.
refused the food that Zhou Rin brought him, but asked Zhou Rin for a bowl of water and drank it slowly before continuing.
"I don't even know where Wu Qiansi has so much hatred for me. He had already killed my father, but he still wouldn't let me go.
But I didn't think much about it at the time.
I just thought: I am back, I am no longer an official, and I am guarding my father, so that I can stay away from all right and wrong and grievances.
I built a grass hut next to my father's tomb, and in addition to eating and sleeping all day, I practiced martial arts.
I think my father always wanted me to be healthy and safe.
On that day, a friend, Qian Hongfang, came to find me.
He was also one of the students my father desperately wanted to keep.
He is nearly twenty years old, and although I am forty years old, on weekdays, because we are more reasonable, it can be regarded as a good friend.
He brought food and drink, but I refused his wine and only ate some vegetarian dishes.
During this time, we both talked about some of the things my father did when he was alive. ”
Chen Boyu said, covering his face, tears sliding down his fingers.
But before he landed, he wiped it out.
He lifted his face and turned his sadness into anger.
"But I didn't expect that he was drugged in the tea!
I ate, drank, and talked to him, and before I knew it, I fell asleep.
When I woke up again, I was woken up by the county officials with a scabbard.
When I opened my eyes, I saw a corpse lying beside me. There are a few knives on the chest, which are a little familiar, very similar to those left by my martial arts path.
And when I sat up in surprise, I realized that I still had my own knife in my hand, and my body was covered in blood......
When he heard the county order, Wang Liangji pointed at me and said, 'Arrest this guy who is obsessed with alcohol and kills people and sells goods.' ’
I was stunned.
I didn't drink alcohol.
I just opened my mouth to retort, but I smelled the thick smell of wine in my mouth.
Filial piety is a great sin of unfilial piety. The law of the country is cloudy, and you can be imprisoned for one year.
I'm not afraid of going to jail, but how can I be charged with such a big crime of unfilial piety?
If I carry it, my whole life and the future of my children will be ruined.
I want to refuse to fight for it, and I can't just admit that I have killed people and sold goods.
But I was still on my feet, and before I could tell, I was knocked unconscious.
When I wake up again, I'm on death row.
I just figured it out: everything was set up by Wu Qiansi behind his back.
And Wang Liangji was instructed by Wu Qiansi.
As for that Qian Hongfang......
It's ridiculous, it's so sad, the person who died next to me was him.
Come to think of it, Wang Liangji, or Wu Qiansi, who just wanted to punish me for my great crime of unfilial piety, sent someone to follow Qian Hongfang in order to kill me, and let me never turn over, kill him and then blame me by the way.
The reason why I was able to straighten all this out was that Qian Hongfang came suddenly, and he was a scholar, how could he have brought good wine when he visited me at the tomb of his mentor? Doesn't he understand that it will harm me and violate my filial piety?
So I knew: Qian Hongfang was bought.
It's a pity that I really didn't think about it that much at the time, I thought it was Qian Hongfang's negligence, as long as I didn't drink it myself.
The most ridiculous thing is still the crime of murder and overkill, right?
Qian Hongfang probably still has a lot of silver tickets on his body, but they are gone. All the things of value on him were gone.
And in the area where my family's ancestral grave is located, I am the only one.
Qian Hong is dead, and the belongings on his body are gone, who else can there be but me who else takes it?
What a natural push.
I have no way to argue, and no one listens to me.
I have no ambition to live, because I can't tear through this vast darkness.
I don't see any hope of revenge, so why bother? ”
When Chen Boyu finished speaking, tears slipped quietly again, sliding over his distracted eyes, sliding out of his dry eye sockets, and flowing through his skin like a cracked riverbed.
Di Ying didn't stagger his gaze, looked at him, and said in a deep voice: "Perhaps, we have been in the dark for a long time, but we must always believe that the dawn will definitely come at that moment." ”
laughed at Chen Boyu.
He didn't care about the tears, just opened his teary eyes and looked at Di Ying. In the voice, there is something different, and the smile also brings a bit of brightness from the past.
"You are so ethereal, it is better to say directly: it is because in the darkness, there are always people like you, carrying lanterns, lighting the light of hope for us.
Or: In the wind and rain, there are always people like you who insist on holding an umbrella, and they are still sheltering us from the wind and rain, so that we will not be completely desperate.
I'm actually quite glad to be alive in the moment, because ...... There you are.
I can hold such a body and commit suicide by hitting the wall, because Lord Lu said: He will definitely let me wait for you and Lord Di to arrive.
He didn't lose his words, I, waited. ”
