Bastards

Guan San is a decisive person, he speaks directly when he talks about things, without dragging his feet at all, and when he comes up, he puts a big deal on Cui Yu and Yang Xuan.

"My surname is not Guan. My surname is Zheng. I am the only son of the second wife of the Zheng family in Luoyang City, and the third in the clan."

Cui Yu and Yang Xuan looked at each other, and they were both a little shocked: "The aristocratic Zheng family?"

"Yes."

Guan San flicked his sleeve with one hand, and gently put the teacup on the table with the other hand. His demeanor was calm and elegant, with a natural harmony in his bones, and a unique charm of his own.

Cui Mata's eyes were a little complicated.

It's not that he didn't feel Guan Santong's majesty before, but Guan San didn't want to mention it, so he didn't ask about it. Unexpectedly, Guan San turned out to be from the Zheng family.

The aristocratic family has a rich background, and it is indeed normal to cultivate such a temperament.

But the sons of the aristocratic family, no matter whether they become talents or not, they have been trained in different directions, they have a sense of arrogance in their bones, and they are unwilling to do things that are a little bit inferior. They are personally engaged in business...

How much Guan Sanyi fell, and how hard he had to be to himself, has just made Guan San what he is today.

"I gave birth badly, and tortured my mother for two days and one night. When I was born, my mother bled profusely and went away after a few days. My father was not in good health at the time, so he suffered from this blow." , the condition is getting worse, and in the next few years, relying on good medicine, I will be able to survive for a while. The ancestors at home saw me pitiful, so they took me to raise me..."

Speaking of the past, Guan San clenched his hands into fists and put them on his knees, his eyes were slightly closed, and his back was straight, so that people couldn't see the slightest emotion.

"I am very talented in reading. My ancestor was very happy. He personally hired a famous teacher for me. He asked me carefully every day. The brothers next to me, not to mention the younger brother of the direct line, the elder brother of the common line, even the elder brother of the eldest brother, are not as good as me. I have face in front of my ancestors."

The ancestor is the person with the highest status in the mansion, and her direction is the weathervane.

There are rules in the inheritance of the family, the eldest son has always been the eldest son of the family, but the law is not human, and whoever is particularly favored by the elders may really stand out.What's more, Zheng San is talented and has a promising future. He is still a direct descendant, and his blood is very close.

His favoritism is a threat to the eldest son of the eldest son.For the brothers next to him, it is a stumbling block.

His eldest brother would think that without him, the entire Zheng family would be his eldest son; his brothers would think that without him, they would have a way to succeed, and if they put more effort into coaxing, maybe the old ancestor would be I like them, this honor belongs to whoever they are.

At that time, he was naive, the old ancestor pitied him for his loneliness, and never let bad things come to him, so he never understood why he did so much and only wanted to be good to his brothers, but in the end everyone was far away from him, None came up.

Until he grew up slowly and tasted the warmth and coldness of human feelings.

Then, his father and ancestor passed away one after another, and the rivalry between the brothers and him came to the fore.

He never thought of snatching his brother's things, nor did he think of fighting with other brothers. He was a little sad and angry when he was misunderstood.At that time, the idea was nothing more than self-improvement. In the future, if we split up, there will be no interest disputes, and everyone will be better.

But for everyone in the family, the separation of the family is really difficult, and he really has no way to start, so he can only rush to improve himself first.

He has good literary talent, good knowledge, and his career path, so he naturally became an official.Being an official, standing on top of others, not talking about others, no matter what the brothers think in their hearts, at least on the surface, they won't make such an ugly scene.

"At this moment, I met Jia Yixiu." Guan San didn't move, even the expression on his face didn't change a bit, like a dead tree.

"That was eight years ago."

Jia Yixiu simply refreshed his views on people.

He has no parental support, and grew up under the knees of his ancestors. No matter how innocent he is, he is also somewhat sensitive. Coupled with the increasingly disharmonious relationship with his brothers, he is quite accurate in judging people.

"Jia Yixiu is very good at pretending. But he is very capable. He pretends to be so good that everyone can't see it, and we still make friends with him."

Guan San feels that although this is not a good skill, it is worth learning.

How can there be so much sincerity in the officialdom?

So he also made friends with Jia Yixiu.

Jia Yixiu is a person who seeks profit in everything. His status and status are useful to Jia Yixiu. As long as there is no conflict of interest, Jia Yixiu can't harm him.

He is very relieved.

"The summer was very long that year, and it was still hot after the end of the summer. Everyone started traveling and went to the mountains to escape the heat."

For wealthy families, there are several Zhuangzi in the mountains, and they can play anywhere.

"During that period, there were several heavy rains, which led to many landslides and mudslides, and I was also poisoned."

Guan San clenched his fists even tighter, and his voice did not carry any heat: "The poisoned wine was brought to me by my cousin himself."

The poison is strong, but it doesn't happen immediately.

I don't know who suggested that the heavy rain is also fun, why not play hide-and-seek.They are all young people, ignorant and fearless, not afraid of cold and sickness, but afraid of irritation.Everyone agreed, and he naturally agreed.

In the end, he didn't go far, and encountered a mudslide. Jia Yixiu was by his side, but he couldn't pull him back.

Because he was poisoned.

He still remembers the pain of the poisonous hair, the endless stinging pain, the stiff and immobile body, the feeling of rolling before the gate of hell...

He knew immediately that he was poisoned.

He thought that brothers, no matter how bad they were, they would always be connected by blood, broken bones and connected tendons. Unexpectedly, everyone actually wanted him to die!

At this point, Guan San stopped, closed his eyes tightly, and pursed his lips tightly.

Outside the window, there is the night wind howling, the shadows of the trees swaying wildly, the branches beating, and there is a faint water vapor, which enters the nostrils with the cold air.

Cui Yu and Yang Xuan didn't remind them, they waited quietly for Guan San to adjust his mood.

Guan San didn't make them wait too long, and soon, he spoke again, but this time, his voice was even colder.

"Jia Yixiu took my shoes and went to Zheng's mansion. My family members, including elders and brothers and sisters, were a matter of life and death. They accepted the news of my death easily without questioning or probing. How much does Jia Yixiu regard him as the benefactor who brought back my relics, befriends him, supports him, even to this day, the two families have always been closely related..."

"That's when I died."

He also became more determined that it was his family who killed him.

"At that time, I was swept into a deep pool with muddy water, and then into a dark river. I drank a bellyful of water and escaped death. I don't know what I ate in the coma. After waking up, I was just blind, not dead. After inquiring about the situation at home, I finally admit that I am not important to them. I don't blame them if they want to kill me in the end, let's settle the matter."

Since then, the son of Zheng San, a wealthy family, has become Guan San.

His eyes suddenly went blind, and he was very uncomfortable. There was no one to take care of him, and he suffered a lot.Scratches on hands and feet are trivial matters, clothes, hair and food, he can't handle everything, after walking in the mountains for a few days, he is no different from a beggar, any acquaintance who sees him will not think of him with the dazzling third son Zheng.

Not to mention, Mr. Zheng San is dead.

During this year, he was in a daze, without a goal, without any motivation, and wandered around, somehow, all the way to Mohe.

Slowly, he got used to the life after blindness, he was able to take care of himself, and let the nobleman in his bones emerge gracefully, but his heart was as dark as the deep sea, already covered with ashes.

It was Abu Keer... who let him find himself.

Healthy, lively, scorching, a tomboy who twitters every day.In her eyes, everything in the world is good and is a surprise. The sky is sunny, it is the wealth that God bestows on people, so that everyone can fish and hunt, and work hard. The sky is cloudy and heavy, and it is God that allows everyone to rest and be healthy, which is a blessing. , when cherishing, the body is sick and disabled, and God tells you that everyone is actually incomplete, either here or there.

In everyone's mind, always have faith, not expecting someone to protect you, but to maintain your heart, open-mindedness, restraint, and calmly face some failures, sufferings, and poverty that may occur in life...

It's no big deal that you can't see, you have other sharper skills because of it, don't you?You can smell the first touch of flowers in the morning, and you can identify a few similar papers just by touch.You can even smell the heavy rain from the wind to warn everyone.

How nice, isn't it?

When Abu Keer talked about this matter, she was still very troubled, and said that if she could be that powerful, she would be able to lead troops to sail far away...

This girl settled in his heart in an extremely warm and straightforward way.

It's a pity that she was too young at that time, only about twelve.He has appreciation for her, heartbeat, comfort and redemption, and gratitude.

It's not easy for him to kidnap a girl as young as someone else.

What's more, she is still a princess, but he is blind.

She had a crush on him, and he wasn't unaware of it.But at the age of the girl's family, it is just the beginning of love. When she is curious about others, she has some good feelings, and she comes and goes quickly.

She doesn't understand, but he understands.

He can't do that senseless thing with the favor that others have given him.

Abu Keer, deserves a better life...

He left Mohe.

As for later...

After 20 years, he will always go over to take a look, but this girl is so good, she will definitely be able to live well, so he doesn't need to worry...

Guan San lowered his eyes and tightened his bamboo stick.

"Back in Da'an, I met Mr. Fan who was a merchant. Because of his support, I joined the merchant. Slowly, it developed to the present. Gradually, I also found out the poison in the past, what kind of it is, and whether it has been solved. ..."

"I've heard of Jia Yixiu's name for a long time, but I never hated it, because I've always calculated this account at home...I don't know people well, I should really be blind!"

Having said that, he couldn't restrain the anger in his heart, and leaned heavily on the ground with the bamboo stick, making a loud noise.

The room was silent for a while, and Cui Yan asked slowly: "The Zheng family... has harmed you more than once, so when you were poisoned, you believed it was your brother who poisoned you. Then Jia Yixiu, why do you doubt him?"

"That's what I'm going to tell you."

Guan San looked very solemn: "I didn't doubt Jia Yixiu at first, but this time when we met, Jia Yixiu behaved very strangely. I followed the test and he named the poison of Aescinus Chinensis and Seven Flowers. This poison is very biased and hard to find. , if it wasn't for the poisoner himself, he shouldn't have known that I had been poisoned. But at that time, he had no reason to harm me...I thought about it for a long time before I came up with a reason."

"A few days ago at the Buddhist ceremony, thanks to brother Cui, I had close contact with the emperor and his party, and the emperor also spoke to Concubine Tian by his side..."

Yang Xuan's expression changed: "Is it related to that woman!"

"Return to Your Highness, ninety percent out of ten."

Guan San bowed his body and continued to speak: "At the time Concubine Tian Gui spoke, I had a faint feeling of deja vu, but it shouldn't be. Concubine Tian Gui is in the inner palace, I have never seen her before, how can I be familiar with her voice? I am blind Hearing has become very good, even the one before I was blind, I can still feel a little familiar in recollection, but it is not real, as if separated by a layer of membrane, this Tian Guifei's voice should be heard before I was blind."

"I thought and thought and thought, and one thing came to my mind."

"In the heavy rain eight years ago, when I didn't drink poisonous alcohol and didn't play hide-and-seek games with friends in the same industry, I was angry with my cousin, and I was unhappy. I walked out of the other courtyard. Whether I walked far or near, I remember It’s not very real, I just remember that in the pouring rain, there was a small deserted temple, and there were people in that deserted temple.”

Guan San frowned slightly, recalling the scene at that time: "At that time, the wind was very strong and it was raining. I couldn't open my eyes wide because of the blowing, and I couldn't see the situation in the room. No, I heard some voices."

"I can't remember the other one, because one of them has a female voice, with a shrill and charming voice. I heard it clearly. She smiled and said, 'Is it just my son? Your seed is not like you', and then , and the sound of intimacy between men and women..."

Hearing this, Cui Yu and Yang Xuan shuddered at the same time, these words...

"Is this woman Tian Guifei?"

Guan San nodded solemnly: "If I'm not mistaken, that voice is exactly the same as Tian Guifei's voice on the day of the ceremony."

He paused, and then said: "I didn't know that woman was Concubine Tian Gui at the time, but I remember that the emperor was not in Luoyang at that time, and went to visit the camp in the northern suburbs."

Therefore, the person who is intimate with Concubine Tian is not Emperor Taikang, Concubine Tian has an adulterer!

They also have a son!

Cui Yu and Yang Xuan looked at each other, both of them were shocked.

The accident came too fast, and I was a little caught off guard, but the amount of information...

Yang Xuan suddenly remembered that he also had the position of Minister of the Zongzheng Temple, in charge of the records of the royal family. He had seen the horoscope of Changwang County, which seemed a little abnormal.Thinking about it before, he had intentionally distorted the identity of King Changjun of Yuejun and retorted. At that time, Concubine Tian Guifei's expression was a little uncomfortable...

So it turned out to be true!

Cui Yan narrowed his eyes slightly and nodded slightly: I am afraid it is true.

This imperial concubine Tian is really courageous!

If the two sons and Emperor Taikang knew about this matter, what would be everyone's expressions?

Yang Xuan was very excited just thinking about it.

Cui Yu is very sensible.

Even if you know the truth, you can't do anything without evidence.Concubine Tian Gui may not be able to react in time to reveal the matter, but she will definitely cry for grievances in the next moment, and will in turn bite the prince tightly and fight with all her strength.

There is no conclusive evidence to crucify this matter. It is just a warning, which is of no benefit.

There was a 'snap' from the window, and it hit the wall, and there were white snowflakes, which were swept in with the wind.

Cui Mata breathed slowly: "It's snowing..."

There was a blind man and a sweetheart in the room, and it was difficult to order them around, so Yang Xuan, as a prince, stood up and went to close the window himself.

The cold wind blows, and people also wake up a little bit.

This is a good thing, it is an opportunity for him, but he can't be impulsive...

After closing the window and sitting back, he knocked on the table and motioned to Guan San: "You continue."

"Jia Yixiu belongs to Concubine Tian Gui..." At this point, Guan Sanqing coughed with a slightly uncomfortable expression.

Cui Mata understood very well.

Jia Yixiu met Tian Guifei in the gossip circle of Tianze Temple, and there was an unknown big man with an ambiguous posture between them. No one knew about this except the dark guard and the dragon guard.

Guan San is a great businessman and has many contacts, but if he is not Long Wei, it is impossible for him to know about this.

Once this was revealed, he couldn't hide it.

So... sure enough.

While drinking tea, Cui Yu cast a wink at Yang Xuan.

Yang Xuan nodded.

Thinking about it now, Guan San's attitude towards him is always the same, with respect and awe, and he didn't express anything about the sudden change of Sha San, the leader of the River Gang, into the prince. The change of posture is very natural...so natural, he must have known Is he identified?

Checking the time, Yang Xuan raised his eyebrows, he didn't expect Long Wei to attack so early!

After Guan San finished coughing, he continued to speak: "I just remembered that it was raining heavily that day. No matter who they were or how they met privately, it had nothing to do with me. Don't look at evil, so I turned around and left. I didn't go far. I saw Jia Yixiu when I was in a small canal. Jia Yixiu smiled and asked me where I went to play alone, what new things I saw, and put the brothers aside."

"I said it's raining so hard and the wind is so noisy, what can I see? There's nothing to see ahead, so let's go back... At that time, Jia Yixiu's expression was slightly wrong, but my mind was also confused, so I didn't pay attention."

"Afterwards, I drank the poisonous wine. The wine was brought by my cousin, and everyone was together at that time. But when I got poisoned, only Jia Yixiu was by my side..."

After summarizing all the conclusions, Guan San came to a conclusion: "So Jia Yixiu killed me to silence him. He thought I saw and heard Concubine Tian Gui having a private meeting with a man, and knowing the details, he acted for the master."

"At that time, Jia Yixiu was already one of them."

It's a pity that he is blind, he doesn't know, and he doesn't see it.

After saying everything he knew, Guan San let out a long breath, as if letting out all the depression in his chest.

Cui Yu didn't ask him if he hated Jia Yixiu, because he was so clear that he could tell at a glance.

Jia Yixiu was really not a good bird, he killed someone with poison, and even held the 'relic', stepped on Guan San's body to coax the Zheng family, formed a good relationship, and with this capital, he climbed up the officialdom step by step.

More importantly, Guan San didn't know Jia Yixiu was the murderer until eight years later!When I saw Jia Yixiu when I went back to Da'an, I just didn't want to talk to him. I just let the murderer go at ease!

Think of yourself again...

Cui Yu's eyes drooped slightly, and his thoughts slowly drifted away.

Jia Yixiu is a very thoughtful and ruthless person.Watching how fast and ruthless he struck Guan San, he was vigilant enough and decisive.He has the backing of the East Turkistan, and he doesn't want others to compete with him. Once a good person appears, he doesn't even recruit for the master, but directly poisons him. This person is very unique.

So as for myself, what role does he play with Jia Yixiu?

Cui Yu boldly guessed, removed all the impossible, and gradually had a direction.

Jia Yixiu doesn't want smart and outstanding people to compete with him, but he is so stupid, can he control it?

Was he, Cui Mata, also related to this matter?For example...know about Concubine Tian Gui?

Jia Yixiu is ruthless and suspicious. Such a person likes to keep his trump card and his back when doing things, and he will not risk everything.If he knew, Jia Yixiu knew that he knew...

He was weak and weak, he was a bastard, even the Cui family didn't remember him very much, let alone others.Such a blank piece of paper, it is best to train it, use some means, and slowly teach it to be close to Jia Yixiu alone, listen to Jia Yixiu's words, and when necessary, it can also become the best tool.

If the relationship with the East Turkistan Concubine Tian is stable, then Cui Mata is dispensable. If there is a change, and it is at a critical moment of life and death, then Cui Mata is Jia Yixiu’s trump card—another person who knows the relationship between the East Turkistan and Concubine Tian .

Jia Yixiu can use this as a threat...

Didn't Jia Yixiu do this in his previous life?

Cui Mata took a breath.

What kind of luck is this for me, I have been unlucky all the time!

What exactly is hidden in that forgotten diary, and what exactly is the thing he gave Jia Yixiu!

He is slightly irritable.Although he is smart and has a quick brain, he really doesn't like things that can't be guessed and have to guess.

Here, Yang Xuan was asking Guan San: "What are you going to do next? Do you want to change back to Zheng's surname and recognize your ancestor?"

Guan San shook his head.

"I was poisoned and blinded, not by my family members, but my family members are not innocent."

Before that, the brothers in the family had killed him several times, but because he was smart, they didn't succeed in the end.

When something happened to him, the Zheng family immediately accepted Jia Yixiu as a guest of honor, and they used each other all these years, regardless of face... This Zheng family is no longer the Zheng family that raised him and was protected by their ancestors.

Especially in the past two years, she even let her daughter Zheng Youniang choose to marry Changjun Wang as his concubine...

The Zheng family, which has lost its heart and is becoming more and more partial, will collapse sooner or later.

"Since I changed my surname, I have no plans to go back. From now on, hello Zheng family, I will not be exposed. When the building collapses, I will help it, so that the family will not starve to death. On the other hand, I will take care of it." No more."

……

On this day, Cui Yu, Yang Xuan and Guan San chatted for a long time, until Abu Keer in the inner room woke up and weakly called for water.

Guan San's expression suddenly changed, as if the ice and snow had melted, he couldn't sit still anymore, turned around and went back to the inner room, and went with that girl.

Yang Xuan looked at Cui Yu: "Let's go too."

Anyway, after finishing what should be said, Cui Mata said, "Okay."

Walking to the verandah, the cold wind blows, and the rain is as heavy as fluff, and there are many.

The first snow in winter is so warm.

Cui Yu stretched out his hand and watched the snowflakes melt into a puddle of water in his palm: "I'm afraid it will be colder today."

Yang Xuan put the silver fox cloak on Cui Yu, with a relaxed expression: "It's just right, Jia Yixiu may not last long."

Cui Yu became interested, and Ren Yangxuan fastened the cloak belt with his clumsy big hands, and tilted his head with a slight smile: "Then let's go for a trial?"

Yang Xuan pecked and kissed the tip of his nose, and said with a smile, "Okay."
