[Baiyutang] Wind-dried clothes

When Bai Yutang came out of the prison, Lu Caichun saw his expressionless face and asked him worriedly, "Fifth Brother, what did Second Master Pang tell you? Is he willing to come out of the prison?"

Bai Yutang didn't answer her, but said, "Let's go out and talk about it first."

The two walked out of Yushitai Prison, returned to Lu Fang's house and changed into night clothes.Only then did Bai Yutang tell Lu Caishu everything that Pang Yu told him in prison, but omitted the part about Biliu's case.After hearing this, Lu Caichun was startled for a while, and the two sat facing each other in the courtyard, silent in the middle of the night.

When dawn was approaching, Lu Caichun said to Bai Yutang: "Fifth brother, let's go to Pang's mansion and visit Sister Mei." Bai Yutang thought for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

As soon as he walked out of the house, he saw Wang Chao and Ma Han galloping towards him, with joyful expressions on their faces, and said to Lu and Bai, "Xiangyang has been broken, and the treacherous king has been arrested, Brother Lu and the others will return to the court soon! The news was sent half a month ago. Come, I'm afraid they're halfway there!"

When Lu and Bai heard this, what they heard was not that the rebellion was settled, but that Pang Yu was about to die.There was not much joy in his heart, Bai Yutang just asked: "Are my four elder brothers okay?"

Wang Chao smiled and said, "Brother Lu and his team possess special skills, how can something happen? They reported to Mr. Bao that they are safe."

Lu Caichun glanced at Bai Yutang, and said, "Fifth brother, let's go first..." She didn't say the second half of the sentence, but Bai Yutang knew that she was worried about Meihe, so he bid farewell to the dynasty, and the two hurriedly looked at the door of Pang's mansion. The direction went.

The news of King Xiangyang's downfall spread to the Pang Mansion much earlier than to the Kaifeng Mansion.Ever since Pang Yu pleaded guilty and was imprisoned in Yushitai Prison, Pang Jiong seemed to have lost his soul. He locked himself in the room all day, barely eating or drinking. No matter who came to persuade him, he was kicked out house.

King Xiangyang was captured, and it was Mei He who sent a letter to Pang Yu.Holding the letter in her hand, she pushed open the door of Pang Jiong's room.

Pang Jiongben was sleeping on the couch with disheveled hair and a haggard face. When he saw Mei He with half-opened eyes, he raised his hand and waved at her to signal her not to bother him.

Mei He threw the letter on his couch and said in a nonchalant voice, "The King of Xiangyang has lost."

Pang Jiong was stunned for a moment, buried his face in the beautiful quilt, and began to cry.Jade pillow writing tents, carved beams and painted walls, before spring comes, the half-finger-wide slanting light from the back of the snow flows in through the window cracks, cutting out a bright gap in the darkness of the house.

Mei He looked at Pang Jiong who was still crying, sneered, and said: "Erlang saved you from disaster, you should laugh, eat wine and meat, be free and unrestrained, and be safe and secure to be cared for by the sisters in the palace for the rest of your life. How many people can't enjoy the happiness, let you enjoy it alone, why cry?"

Pang Jiong was still crying, causing Yingying and Yanyan, who were standing outside the house to serve, poked their heads and came in to look at the scene inside the house.

The family member went to call Grand Master Pang.Seeing that Pang Jiong was crying miserably, and seeing Mei He standing aside coldly, without making a sound to comfort him, the grand master waved at Mei He and said, "You only made him sad, why don't you know how to stay away?"

Mei He leaned against Grand Master Pang, took a step back, and was about to turn around and go out, but heard Grand Master Pang comforting Pang Jiong behind him: "Jiong'er, tell my father and Yan'er another day, and ask the sage to get back your title of Marquis of Anle. At that time, even if your father is gone, you will also have endless gold and silver, and endless silk... It is a good thing that the king of Xiangyang was captured, and he was escorted back to the capital. As long as the treacherous king and his henchmen die, the No one in the world will know what you did before..."

The nails were embedded in the flesh of the palm, Mei He was trembling with anger, closed his eyes, but still couldn't stop the tears from overflowing.The past events are vivid in my mind, Pang Jiong's arrogance, Pang's mother's indifference, and the grand master's alienation, she swallowed her anger for these years, until Pang Taishi scolded Pang Yu and pushed all the crimes on him, just to protect this weak Self-proud eldest son.

On the day when King Xiangyang started the incident, Pang Yu knew that a catastrophe was coming, and now it was a great fortune for him to be able to eliminate the disaster of the whole family with one person.He passed on the order and disbanded Hongjian Pavilion.

"Thousands of miles of floating clouds with wings and feathers, once scattered into floating clouds."

In the past, we helped each other in the same boat, but now we are scattered all over the world, and we will never see each other again, which can be regarded as fulfilling his wish.

But Mei He was not reconciled.She had endured for many years for Pang Yu, not in exchange for such an end.

She turned around slowly, her eyes were red, and there was a mocking smile at the corner of her mouth.In front of him, Master Pang was still patting Pang Jiong's back, and even bowed his waist, wiping away Pang Jiong's tears with a handkerchief as if coaxing a child.

Mei He pointed at them, sneered, and paused every word: "Rebellious ministers and thieves."

Dou heard this, Grand Master Pang was furious, stepped forward and raised his hand to give her a slap in the face.But the slap that landed on Mei He's cheek was not given by Grand Master Pang, but by Pang Jiong.

Panting heavily, Pang Jiong slapped Mei He's face one after another.

Mei He was beaten to the side of the head, her bun fell apart, her hairpin fell to the ground, and jade stones jingled.

It was Grand Master Pang who pulled Pang Jiong away.The grand master stared at Mei He, and said with a heavy face, "Get out of here."

Wiping off the blood from the corners of her lips, she straightened her lonely and thin back, she turned and left, the wind wings lifted her sleeves like wild goose wings.

"You son of a bitch, which room is my sister-in-law in?" Pang Can came in through the back door unkempt and unkempt with a burden on his back, and kicked over his stool when he saw the servant who was dozing off with his chin resting on the side.

The servant hurriedly got up, did not dare to yawn, could only rely on a lamp on the table in the night, barely recognized Pang Can, hurriedly bowed his waist and folded his hands, and said respectfully: "The third son asked the second lady—the second lady ... Isn't the second lady in the courtyard where she lives?"

Pang Can picked up his bag and walked quickly to look at the courtyard where Pang Yu usually lived, muttering in his mouth: "Where did those ignorant people in Hongjian Pavilion go? That old thief has started a riot—I don't know." How is the second brother?"

When I entered the courtyard, I saw that there was no light in the house, and it seemed that there was no one there.Pang Can raised his voice and called out, "Second brother! Sister-in-law!"

No one responded, but a servant girl came from outside, met Pang Can, and asked him: "The third son is here to find his wife?"

Pang Can pointed to the wing room with the door tightly shut, and asked, "Is it inside?"

The maid nodded, and Pang Can walked up in two or three steps, regardless of whether the people inside were asleep or not, and pushed open the door to go in.

The smell of blood came to the face.

After lighting the candlestick on the side table, Pang Can looked at the couch.

In the warm and dark, a woman in plain clothes was lying on her back on the couch, with a dagger stuck in her chest, blood staining the bedding all over the bed was dark red.

Pang Can rushed to the front of the couch, and probed for her breath with two fingers.Everything your fingers touch is icy cold.

The eyes of the person on the couch were still wide open, and one cheek was swollen, covered with blood streaks scraped by fingernails, obviously the marks left by slaps.

Pang Can caressed her cheek, moved his hand to the knife stuck in his chest, held it, but dared not move, for fear of disturbing the people on the couch.

A deep roar rolled in his throat, and hatred surged and blocked his cavity.

The servant girl heard the noise inside and rushed in, but almost bumped into Pang Can who was striding away looking out.

Pang Can grabbed the servant girl's arm with such force that he almost crushed her bones. He asked, "Who hit my sister-in-law? Where is my second brother?"

The servant girl was pinched by him in excruciating pain, but seeing his ferocious expression, she dared not say a word of complaint, and answered him honestly: "Yes...it's the eldest son...he beat Madam at dusk this evening. ...The second young master..."

Pang Can threw the servant girl away, kicked the door open with a slam, and looked in the direction of Pang Jiong's courtyard.The maidservant in the room behind saw the tragic situation on the couch, and her screams pierced the night.

When entering Pang Jiong's courtyard, the servant came to stop him. Pang Can stretched out his hand and pinched the servant's throat with bulging veins. Hearing a click, the servant's neck tilted away, his eyes and tongue stuck out, and he lost his breath in an instant.

Kicking open the door, what he saw was Pang Jiong lying on his concubine's lap, being fed wine one mouthful at a time.

Pang Can stepped forward, pulled the concubine's long hair, raised his hand, and threw him a foot away.With a bang, the concubine waiter smashed on the table next to the wall, covered his chest and lowered his head, coughing up blood.

The wine spilled on his chest, and Pang Jiong didn't have time to shake it off. He saw Pang Can's approaching aggressively. He wanted to call for someone, but was dragged off the bed by Pang Can.Pang Can grabbed his neckline, but didn't rush to move, just patted his cheek and asked, "Right hand—or left hand?"

Pang Jiong scolded angrily: "Bitch! How dare you treat me like this?"

With a "slap", a firm slap hit Pang Jiong's face.There were stars in his eyes, buzzing in his ears, hot blood overflowed, and he swallowed it again with his saliva.Pang Can was still asking in his ear, "Right hand or left hand? Let me ask you, which hand did you hit your sister-in-law with?"

Pang Jiong stared at him, spit blood, and looked at Pang Can's face.Pang Can tilted his head to avoid it, and punched Pang Jiong heavily on the bridge of the nose.Pang Jiong was beaten until he rolled his eyes, his nose was tilted to one side, and blood was hanging on his lips.

The tooth was broken, and Pang Jiong was in so much pain that he could hardly cry out.

"The right hand! Or the left hand!" Pang Can roared, and Pang Jiong trembled, afraid of him and dared not speak.

Pang Can stopped talking, straightened up, looked at him condescendingly, and said softly: "Since you don't say anything, both hands will be useless."

"Right hand! Right hand!" Pang Jiong was shaking like a sieve, grinning his bloody mouth and crying loudly.

With a bang, Pang Jiong was thrown to the ground, and Pang Can turned and walked away.Sitting on the ground in a daze, Pang Jiong's nose and tears covered his face, he saw Pang Can walking away in a haze, thinking that he spared his life, he sat on the ground like a puddle of mud, trembling from time to time.

This young brother, Pang Jiong, was always afraid of his sternness and dared not provoke him, so he didn't know his true temperament. Now that he met him, it was like meeting a villain. reveal.

Suddenly, there was a loud noise from the wall, and Pang Jiong fell silent, wiping away his tears and looking in the direction of the sound.That Pang Can kicked away the dying concubine, pulled the rose chair with one hand, held the chair back, and with just a squeeze, the thin sandalwood chair against the railing turned into powder.

Pang Jiong didn't know what he was going to do, he was only afraid in his heart, and couldn't help looking back.

When Pang Can walked back again, Pang Jiong saw that he was holding a sandalwood branch broken from the rose chair in his hand, and he felt bad in his heart.Without saying a word, Pang Can dragged him from the ground and twisted his right hand.Pang Jiong screamed in horror, hot urine dripped from his trouser legs.

"Ah!" The scream almost pierced the roof.

With a sound of "puchi", the sandalwood branch pierced Pang Jiong's right hand, his skin was ripped apart, and blood burst out from the breach.Pang Can twisted his right hand with one hand, touched his back with his knee, and pressed him on the couch.

The sandalwood branch pierced through the palm, and the bleeding branch touched Pang Jiong's shoulder blade.Pang Jiong cried until his face was a mess of blood and tears, and he begged for mercy: "Forgive me... Please... forgive me... I won't dare again..."

"Don't dare again?" Pang Can snorted, leaned over to his ear, and whispered: "But my sister-in-law is dead."

There was a commotion outside the house, someone must have seen the servant's body on the ground, which attracted Grand Master Pang and his group.

Hearing this, Pang Jiong hurriedly shouted, "Grandfather, save me!"

With severe pain in his shoulder, Pang Jiong screamed out.The sandalwood branch protruded from the palm of his hand, piercing through his shoulder blades, nailing Pang Jiong to the bed.

Blood spilled from the mattress in lumps.

Grand Master Pang and his group held torches and broke open the door. What they saw was Pang Can standing upright, while Pang Jiong bent his hands behind his back, lying on the couch in a strange posture, howling like a pig.

Grand Master Pang opened his old eyes, saw the situation clearly, was horrified, pointed at Pang Can with trembling hands, and cursed: "Nizi!"

Pang Can slowly wiped the blood on Pang Jiong's clothes, pushed aside the people standing in front of him, and walked out.

>>

Pang Can straddled in front of Meihe's house, splashing water on the whetstone with his hands, the water overflowed and soaked the green sandstone.The thumb rests on the back of the knife, and the other hand presses the blade with four fingers, and the blade rushes over the whetstone.

Today's Pang Mansion is very quiet.

The knife is the dagger that Mei He used to commit suicide.He asked the maid about Pang Yu's affairs.Not surprisingly, the punishment of Ling Chi should be executed at noon today.He also knew the general idea of ​​Hongjian Pavilion, that it was Pang Yu who ordered them not to serve the Pang family anymore.

He has been guarding the door of Mei He's room, and no one is allowed to enter.

According to the servant girl, Pang Jiong was crazy, with one hand dangling, and no one was allowed to touch the bloody wound. He wandered around the room all day, crying and laughing loudly.Taishi Pang guarded outside his yard day and night, and Pang's mother shed tears.None of them dared to come to see him.

The grass and trees in the yard were scattered, the crows dusted off the snow from the branches, and flew away.

Pang Can just sharpened his knife.He has to settle the bill sum by sum.

Suddenly I heard a commotion at the front door, saying that a couple of men and women had come to Kaifeng mansion and were waiting outside the door, wanting to come in to see Meihe.The servant stopped them outside the door and did not allow them to come in.This is what Master Pang meant.

Among the people who came, the woman's surname was Lu, and Pang Can knew her.He remembered that he kicked the woman into the coffin and covered it with soil. Who would have expected her to be lucky, such a tossing did not kill her.Since God has let her go, it is inconvenient for him to take her life again.

While sharpening his knife, Pang Can recalled what he had done in these years.

Pang Yu once scolded him for being violent, and he admitted it.He has done too many evil things, and he can't remember them all. Maybe he can remember one thing he did last year.He robbed Zhan Zhao's wife, tore her clothes, made people throw them all over the city, and made everyone in Kaifeng Mansion run around.He dissected the woman's belly, put the ball of flesh and blood in the box given by Pang Yan, and presented it to Zhan Zhao.

Really happy.

Raising the knife, facing the pale sun, Pang Can blew off the water droplets on the blade.The water droplets reflected the sunlight, one by one, very bright.
