Chapter 389: Opening the Ancestral Hall
As the saying goes, if you don't see a coffin, you won't shed tears, but they were forced to "see" the coffin once with the experience that life was worse than death, so they finally regretted it, and began to miss the comfort and harmony of their daily lives, only to think that it was extremely stupid to take risks for those cold gold and silver possessions, for such a seemingly beautiful promise.
"Big ...... My lord...... Xiaguan ...... No, no...... The sinner, the sinner knows that he is wrong!"
"The same is true of the sinners...... The criminal really knows that he is wrong, and the criminal is dizzy, and he has lived up to the trust of the adults for many years, and the crime deserves death!
"Ten thousand deaths?" Gong Yiren sighed, "If you really want to die, once is enough." You, who have followed me for more than ten years, have you ever treated you badly, touching your conscience?"
His eyes fell on the military general with the severed hand: "Juyi, do you have anything to plead?"
The military general gritted his teeth, compared to the civilian officials, the punishment of a military general like him would naturally be heavier, he trembled his pale lips and muttered: "Your Excellency will be as heavy as a mountain for sin. Sin will ...... Will you use this life...... Repay adults. β
Gong Yiren closed his eyes with some sadness and shook his head: "Your life...... I'll take it, but not now. You will not die in this dark dungeon, but you will die on the execution platform in the afternoon, in front of the people of Jinzhou. When your head falls, the people will rejoice and scold you for being a villain, but your title ...... I can keep it for you, your son is a martial artist, he is fourteen years old this year, and when he reaches adulthood, I will consider letting him re-enter the army and inherit your title. β
Mortals value the name and festival, not to mention that this military general named Lu Juyi was also a very prominent figure in the past, and he also made great contributions to Jinzhou during the war.
Now that he has ended up like this, there seems to be a heavy mountain in his heart, which makes him breathless, but he knows that Gong Yiren's move has opened the net to him.
He gritted his teeth and said bitterly: "I deserve it, I deserve nothing, and my son's title will be ...... If there is a war in the Mo family in the future, he must be allowed to ...... Let him enter the pioneer camp and take the lead......"
Gong Yiren nodded: "It's like the person I promoted, and he still has a little backbone, if you kowtow like them and beg for mercy at the moment, I really feel that I have seen the wrong person for so many years...... Take it down, take care of it, if he wants to eat something, arrange it for him, if he dies in prison, only you ask. β
"Yes. Several jailers nodded and dragged the generals out.
Then Gong Yiren looked at the two civil officials, and the two of them raised their heads in unison, scrambling to put their blood-stained faces under Gong Yiren's gaze, and shouted eagerly: "My lord, I said, I will say everything, it's the fourth master!"
However, a sneer flashed on Gong Renyin's face in the dark, and he sighed: "Actually...... To say it or not to say it...... It doesn't matter anymore. β
He waved his hand, and the servant standing next to him pushed his wheelchair, and as the wheel squeaked and rubbed against the uneven floor tiles in the prison, the voice of Gong Yiren rang out, "These two people's mouths are not tight, kill them, just say ...... Those who cannot bear the punishment and commit suicide. β
Gong Yiren's tone was understated, as if he was just deciding whether there should be roast duck or roast chicken on the lunch table.
The two officials' faces changed wildly, and at this time, they finally understood that the public loser tortured them not to make them open their mouths at all, but to test whether they would stick to that secret to the end!
The military general passed this test, so he could at least have a good way to die, and his family would also be properly placed by the public loser, and even the future of the public loser, and the two of them ......
Gong Yiren always wanted to protect the face of the public loser, even if he heard the truth about the cannibalism of his relatives with his own ears......
The jailers looked calm, as if they were indifferent to what one person had just debunked, and he didn't dare to care, after all, in the eyes of Gong Yiren, the officials in Jinzhou were like the fat rats who were drugged to death and trampled to death by them before, and as jailers, they might not even be mice.
......
"Miss, the uncle said please come over. β
When she opens her eyes, Fluttershy's face looks hazy in front of her.
An hour ago, the doctor bandaged her wound and prescribed some soothing medicine to tell her to rest, and she obediently took a nap.
However, since it was the public who was invited, she naturally couldn't sleep anymore, but just supported her hands and just got together, she found the little brother lying on the side of the bed, sleeping a little unsteadily.
Her younger brother, Gong Yinyu, lay on her quilt like a homeless puppy, his brows furrowed slightly, and his delicate face was full of sorrow.
"When the young master heard the news of Miss's injury, he hurried to arrive, and when he saw that she was sleeping, she stayed here and stayed guarded, and she just fell asleep...... "Fluttershy explains softly.
Gong Yinxue smiled and nodded, feeling warm in her heart. Seeing her brother so sensible, she suddenly felt that the injuries on her body didn't seem to be so serious.
She doesn't wake up Yinyu, but asks Fluttershy to help her move him to the bed and cover him with the quilt.
The sleeping Gong Yinyu muttered with some dissatisfaction: "Sister, don't go." β
Gong Yin Xue couldn't help laughing, reached out and stroked Gong Yin Yu's frowning little brow, and replied softly: "Sister is not leaving, sister has been guarding Yin Yu." β
Seeing him sleeping soundly, Gong Yinxue got up cautiously, opened the door and walked out.
In the outer hall, Qin Ke and Bai Qi sat opposite each other and were talking softly.
She subconsciously stroked the wound on her cheek, the doctor's unique ointment was cold, and now she didn't feel the pain, but she was worried, and she didn't know if she would leave a scar in the future, if she really broke her appearance, would Qin Ke ......
Thinking of this, she reacted quickly, and laughed at herself in her heart: The two are not really husband and wife, where would Qin Ke care about this.
Male-lost Yinxue looks at Fluttershy and asks, "Where is Uncle waiting for me?"
Fluttershy hesitated for a moment, then frowned, "Yes, in the ancestral hall." β
"Ancestral Hall?" "Gong Yi Yinxue's eyes showed a little surprise, the ancestral hall of the Gong Loser family enshrined the ancestors of the past dynasties, usually except for the head of the family, they are not allowed to enter and exit at will, even if they are punished to kneel in the ancestral hall, they can only kneel on the cold bricks outside the ancestral hall.
Only when the public loser needs to discuss a major matter, or worship the ancestors once a year, can these juniors be eligible to go in.
Now Gong Yiren is suddenly waiting for her in the ancestral hall, what is it for? She subconsciously held her injured shoulder, and vaguely felt a bit of context in her heart, but she was not sure.
In fact, the moment Gong Yinxue opened the door, Qin Ke had already felt it, although he didn't have the Wind Vision Technique now, but with his current qi and blood cultivation, his hearing was far beyond that of ordinary people, so he could naturally hear Gong Yinxue and Fluttershy talking in the room.
"That's it, Brother Bai, I won't drag you anymore. Qin Ke stood up and nodded at Bai Qi.
Bai Qi also got up, glanced at Gong Yinxue, then looked at Qin Ke, and said with a smile: "Now in this house, no one will dare to harm you anymore." β
"Don't worry......"
It's just that Qin Ke suddenly frowned, gritted his teeth and said, "When you see Lao Gao, remember to help me punch him......"
Of course, Bai Qi knew why Qin Ke was angry, judging from the sentence "remember to bring a sword", Gao Yishui obviously expected this assassination, but he did not stop it, and even secretly helped promote this assassination, not only involved some innocent people, but even caused Gongyi Yinxue to be seriously injured.
It's just that when he heard Qin Ke say this, he couldn't help but feel a little gloomy in his heart, although Gao Yishui had his purpose, but after all, human life is greater than the sky, and innocent people are affected by this, and as an ink man, he will naturally feel guilty.
"It's better to do it yourself the next time you see him, I don't want to get involved. Bai Qi smiled faintly, didn't say anything, held the sword, turned around and walked down the small building.
"Let's go too, I'll help you over?" Qin Ke and Gongyi Yinxue looked at each other, and as expected, they didn't mention the scar on her face.
This really made Gong Yinxue's heart hot, but it slowly cooled down.
Did he really not care if his face changed, or did he never have a shadow of her in his eyes?
Qin Ke and Gongyi Yinxue walked all the way to the ancestral hall, not only had to pass through several corridors, but also bypassed all kinds of pavilions and pavilions with nine bends and eighteen bends, and finally in a place near the mountainside, Qin Ke saw the tall building that seemed to be nailed to the mountain wall.
The ancestral hall of the public loser is amazingly large, and countless ancestral tablets are neatly placed on shelves of different heights, and under the candle light, it gives people a solemn feeling.
As soon as Gong Yinxue entered the door, he saw a full house of old people, and even Gong Yinxue and Gong Yi could only sit on the side, and they couldn't help but be shocked.
Even the clan elders are here?
Such a scene is generally only once a year, and that is when the ancestors are worshipped.
She knew that Gong Yiren was planning to make a big move today, but she didn't know who it was targeting, didn't it mean that he knew the mastermind behind the assassination in such a short time?
"Yinxue is here?" Gong Yiren turned his head and whispered to his subordinates, "Go, move two chairs over." β
Gong Yinxue bowed slightly, but in fact, she was a little flattered.
Gong Yiren said: "Although it is a little unruly for the junior to sit in the ancestral hall, after all, you are injured today, and the ancestor has a spirit in the sky, so it will not be so harsh." β
After that, Gong Yiren looked at the oldest and most senior clan elder in the clan and said softly, "Master, I have to trouble you." β
The folds on the old man's face were as many as the rings of a tree, and his eyes were half-closed and half-open, making people wonder if he would quietly ride the crane west in the next moment, but when he heard Gong Yiren's words, he slowly opened his eyes, and there was a little more brilliance in his cloudy eyes.
"Open the ancestral hallβ"
The old and desolate voice echoed leisurely in the ancestral hall, and everyone knelt down together with the Gong Yiren who stood up with difficulty, kowtowed, got up, kowtowed again, and bowed three times in succession, and then Gong Yiren sprinkled the fragrance of grass, and when the smoke gradually rose, he turned around and looked solemn.
"Ladies and gentlemen. My father-in-law loser, after thirteen generations of ups and downs, now passed to my hands, however, my father-in-law lost benevolence incompetent, many years of lingering sickbed, so that the political affairs are abandoned, and the family relatives are becoming increasingly estranged, today, my father-in-law lost his niece Yinxue wedding, who knew that he was assassinated on the street, almost lost his life!"
"Fortunately, the ancestors blessed, the niece and son-in-law Qin Ke fought hard in the chaos, and there was an ink artist from the side, although Yinxue was injured, she finally saved the day. β
"But as the head of the public loser, I bear the heavy responsibility of the prosperity and inheritance of the public loser, and some things must be cleared up one by one in front of the ancestors today. β
Speaking of this, Gong Yiren suddenly said in a deep voice: "Fourth, you stand in the middle." β
Gong Yicha frowned, and found that things were not so simple.
