Chapter Twenty-Four: Opera provokes dark human nature, and uses your head to help me rise to the top
In the evening, Wu House.
Wu Xi was dressed in a flying fish robe given by the emperor, with a horizontal knife hanging from his waist, and deliberately turned around twice when he walked out of the threshold.
"Majestic, in charge of life and death, who dares to despise me?"
Wu Xi jumped on the horse, and the spring breeze was proud.
He never dreamed that he would be able to put on this skin.
was directly promoted from an ordinary prisoner to the eight-rank general banner, and he is still the powerful Jing'an Division Yamen!
"Thank you to the wise and martial saint, thank you to the great father, thank you to the former classmate Gu Ping'an, but why do you want to target my father?"
Wu Xi raised his horsewhip and couldn't help but think of that very polite but withdrawn classmate.
At that time, when Guozijian was borrowing, no one was looking at this commoner at all.
I never imagined that it would be as different as it is today.
And Guozijian's classmates don't even have the qualifications to be jealous.
A restaurant in the distance.
The young woman and the servant sat by the window.
"Because of the defection of their fathers, Wu Xi and Qin Hongbo became close friends, but since a woman appeared, the two turned their faces and broke up."
"A year ago, Wu Xi fell in love with a woman at first sight, but the woman fell in love with the handsome and dashing Qin Hongbo, and Qin Hongbo didn't take into account Wu Xi's feelings, and stayed at the inn directly with the woman, and the two were very affectionate."
"From then on, Wu Xi hated Qin Hongbo, and everyone in the Guozijian Academy knew it."
The little guy will report the news one by one.
The young woman bows her head.
When Gu Gongzi was still studying in Guozijian, he should have heard about the dirty matter between the two, and the hostile relationship between the two sides has not eased at all until now.
"That's him." The little guy pointed to the corner.
A man rode a horse slowly, as if he deliberately showed off his flying fish suit and the knife on his waist to the people.
The young woman's pupils constricted.
"How?" It's weird.
"Look." The young woman took out the urgent letter and pointed to the words on it, her voice a little hoarse.
The little guy read while watching:
"Wu Dashou is safe and sound, his son Wu Xi will have an official position, he has neither fame nor merit, he can only be in Jing'an Division, Wu Xi should go to find his beloved woman as soon as possible."
The little guy's scalp is numb.
Why did you guess so accurately?
As if witnessing it with your own eyes.
Is this the dark art that penetrates people's hearts?
It's horrible......
"I can understand that Wu Xi is a lover, and if he has achieved something, he will inevitably show off to the woman, hoping to be impressed."
"But how could Mr. Gu expect that Wu Dashou would escape, and instead of suspicion, the imperial court would let his son become an official?"
The young woman shuddered, her voice filled with awe.
When the letter paper was put down, Mr. Gu seemed to know the ending.
…
The Wang family.
A woman in an emerald skirt walked out, her face was beautiful and her temperament was graceful.
"Miss Wang."
On the other side of Bluestone Street, Wu Xi stood with his hands in his hands, and the flying fish suit symbolizing authority was particularly eye-catching.
"Wu Gongzi, have you entered the Jing'an Division? Congratulations. Wang smiled lightly and blessed slightly.
Wu Xi was proud, and the praise of his beloved was like a stove in the cold, and he was comfortable.
"Miss Wang, this is the hairpin I bought for you."
He walked briskly over and took out a rosewood hairpin from his sleeve.
Wang didn't stretch out his hand to take it, but said slightly apologetically:
"Thank you for your kindness, but I have already made a private agreement with Qin Lang for life."
Wu Xi's palm froze, and he slowly clenched the hairpin, he pointed to the horizontal knife on his waist, and said loudly:
"Chief Banner of Jing'an Division, I'm no longer the prisoner!"
"With Qin Hongbo's ability, not to mention being admitted to the Jinshi, even lifting people is a fool's dream, he doesn't want to be an official for the rest of his life, and I have a status of Yulu, what happens to your Wang family to report my name, who dares to make things difficult?"
Wang lowered his head, dissatisfied with his entanglement, and raised his tone:
"From the first time I saw Qin Hongbo, I liked him, you died of this heart, even if you are an official and a lord, I am not rare!"
"Miss Wang!" Wu Xi's heart throbbed, his burning eyes slowly became dark, and finally there was a deep sadness:
"Just because he's handsome, will he coax you with a sweet mouth? But do you know that he robbed the people's daughters in Xishu and lent money to the people, why can't you see through his hypocrisy, is this fair to me? ”
"If he is really good, I am willing to quit, but he is really a bastard with empty skin, how can you tell me to push you into the fire pit?"
The more Wang listened, the more angry he became, biting his lip and saying angrily:
"Don't slander Qin Lang!"
"Besides, I like this kind of thing, how fair is it, I hope that the son will meet his lover soon."
He turned around and went into the house, without looking back.
"Miss Wang......"
Wu Xi clenched her fists painfully, thinking that she was beautiful, but in her heart, she was still no match for that hypocritical and unrighteous dog.
Qin Hongbo!
…
The opera garden in Fang City is overcrowded.
"Here we are." The little guy was in the corner, pointing to the approaching flying fish suit.
This Wu Gongzi listens to dramas almost every day to relieve his sorrows, and today is no exception.
The young woman turned around and went backstage in the theater.
The actors are applying color and makeup, or opening their eyes to recuperate, and the troupe owner sees people trespassing, so they have to drink back.
"Where's your repertoire?" The young woman handed over a hundred and fifty taels of silver tickets.
The troupe owner's eyes suddenly lit up, and a day could reach half a moon, he bent down and smiled:
"Sing whatever you rap."
The young woman bows her head.
Several plays, only for one person to sing solo.
In the noisy garden, Wu Xi drank heavily, his pride was defeated, his hopes were destroyed, he was prosperous and rich, and Miss Wang would not change his mind.
He didn't hate her.
It's Qin Hongbo, a brute!
You don't deserve her at all!
The drama on the stage opened his mouth, his sleeves fluttered, and his singing was euphemistic and beautiful, and the song "Flying with Wings" sang the love of lovers and concubines, which was as hot as cooking oil on fire.
Wu Xi's face was gloomy and became more and more painful.
In fact, he used to like to listen to operas such as double accommodation and amphibious, and imagined in his mind how harmonious he and Miss Wang were.
But today, he knows that the love scene in the play will never belong to him.
At the end of the song, a few male actors were changed on the stage and sang "in the Same Room", singing vigorously and with murderous intent.
The spectators shouted to show their displeasure, Wu Xi was immersed in it, and naturally thought of Qin Hongbo, the object of hatred, who used to be timid and cowardly, but now he is the general banner of the Zhenwu Division, and he can't wait to use his power for personal gain to slaughter that beast!
"It's really sung to my heart, but if I kill the beast, Miss Wang won't like me."
Wu Xi was physically and mentally exhausted, and tears crossed the corners of his eyes at some point.
After a few songs on the stage, the spectators were almost gone, and the actor sang "The Hero Goes Up the Mountain".
Wu Xi was fascinated by what he heard, and suddenly woke up like a dream.
He jerked to his feet, vaguely thinking of something.
The hatred in my heart seems to be awakened, the darkest thoughts can no longer be stopped, and a thought gradually emerges.
That's right!
That's right, that's it!
"I have great wisdom...... Wu Xi put down a few pieces of broken silver, "Good song, reward!" ”
So he left quickly.
On the second floor, the young woman noticed that Wu Gongzi's face was extremely gloomy and cruel, like a poisonous snake ready to attack.
She unfolded the letter again, at the end of the content.
[Ignite the hidden evil in the hearts of others and show him a way, this matter has been done. 】
"That's it?" The young woman was confused.
She did only two things.
The first is to go to Wu's Mansion to deliver medicinal materials, and then squat in the theater where Wu used to come.
It couldn't be simpler.
……
Wu Mansion, Study.
"Daddy!"
Wu Xi looked excited, and said in a trembling voice:
"Hurry up and report Qin Hong for corruption and bribery, collect charges, and let him die!"
The rebel said amazingly, Wu Dashou was dizzy, and roared:
"Are you crazy? That's your Uncle Qin, Daddy's brother! ”
"Dad knows the mustard between you and Hongbo, why is the husband without a wife, you are an official now, just wait for the matchmaker to come to the door to propose."
Wu Xi was still excited, tried to slow down his breathing, and said slowly:
"Dad, you have to submit your name."
"Why are you being ostracized? Why didn't you have a chance to lead the army into battle? It's because you're a vassal, and there's another reason why you haven't completely cut off the back road! ”
"Why do you huddle with Qin Hong's two subordinates all day long to keep warm? Reporting him and telling the court that he broke off relations with the past, Guozijian often circulated a saying, the first knife is raised, the first person is killed, and it is necessary to say goodbye to the past when you start again. ”
"Besides, Dad, you must have evidence of Qin Hong's corruption, and your relationship, Qin Hong must also have your handle, and he will hand it over to the court before he dies."
"It's actually better to hand over the handle, if you are controlled by others, only the wise and martial saints will reuse you and let you lead the troops to fight and make meritorious contributions."
Wu Dashou's anger gradually subsided, pacing back and forth in the study.
He and Qin Hong defected to Xishu with their families, and they were like brothers, so he naturally knew Qin Hong's methods of corruption as the chief bookkeeper in Taifu Temple.
"How did you come up with that?" Wu Dashou stared at him, this is a trick of power, even he is stupid and ignorant.
Wu Xi did not hide it, and said honestly:
"The theater is singing a good man going up the mountain, and he is also a thief...... The son thought of it, and the thought was clear. ”
"The most important thing? When his son first joined Jing'an Division, he also needs a credit to gain a firm foothold! ”
Wu Dashou continued to look at him and sneered:
"What else?"
Wu Xi said loudly:
"As the only son of the Qin family, Qin Hongbo will inevitably be exiled to the frontier, and the Wang family will definitely not allow her daughter to follow, when she is most sad and desperate, her son will take care of her and slowly gain her heart, she will not marry in this life."
To put it bluntly.
Kill three birds with one stone!
If he kills Qin Hongbo directly, and doesn't say that he is in prison after the incident, Miss Wang will definitely not forgive him.
But Qin Hong's corruption implicated his son, so it's no wonder that others.
Wu Dashou didn't speak, he knew that Xi'er was an infatuator, the kind that could not be helped.
"Dad, what do you think?" Wu Xi asked.
Wu Dashou was silent for a long time, the idea sprouted and grew rapidly, raised his head and said firmly:
"Xi'er, be ruthless as an official."
"Borrow the head of Brother Qin's head to help my Wu family rise to prosper!"
