Reborn Lord

When Chang Ronghuan heard the news earlier, he brought Mrs. Chang to welcome him at the door excitedly, and prepared willow branches and a brazier.

Seeing Chang Wenbai approaching, the two of them clenched their hands excitedly. Mrs. Chang couldn't help the red eyes, and Bie Changrong glared: "My son finally came out. It's a great event. How can you cry?"

"Master, this concubine is happy... happy... but it's a pity that Chao..."

"Shut up! Don't mention that woman again!" Chang Wenbai thought of the scene that Xue's mansion saw, and he couldn't understand until now. How did the Chang family feel sorry for her?She actually feigned death and climbed Gao Zhi'er, making their son so sad.

"Okay, okay, don't talk, don't talk..." Mrs. Chang greeted her and put her arms around Chang Wenbai.

Chang Wenbai stayed in the dungeon of the state government office for several days. At this moment, the blue beard stubble was all over his chin, his eyes were scarlet, and he looked extremely haggard and tired, which made Madam Chang's heart ache even more.

Chang Wenbai stared straight at Chang Ronghuan standing behind the brazier.

Chang Ronghuan was excited at first, but for some reason Chang Wenbai's eyes made him feel nervous: "Wen Bai, what's the matter? Why are you looking at Dad like this?"

Chang Wenbai took a deep breath to suppress the unstoppable desolation in his heart.He lowered his eyes and didn't speak. He let the willow branches get wet and hit the brazier on his body, but he didn't eat any food. Instead, when he passed by Chang Ronghuan, he said, "Father, come with me to the study. I have something to do with you." You speak."

Chang Ronghuan frowned strangely, feeling that the other party's attitude was wrong, but he thought that maybe it was a matter of the case, did something happen to the case?

After Chang Ronghuan made arrangements for Mrs. Chang, she went straight to the study.

Just as soon as the door of the study was closed, Chang Ronghuan raised his eyes and saw Chang Wenbo standing in his study writing the words "Great righteousness and benevolence".

I couldn't help but smiled at the corner of my mouth, walked over, and patted the man who was half a head taller than him, "What's wrong with my son? Could it be that he stayed in the prison for a few days, and did he have a profound epiphany?"

Chang Wenbai didn't move, he looked at the four words quietly, and said dumbly: "Father, do you still remember when you were young, you used to point to these four words and teach your son something?"

Chang Ronghuan also looked at those four words, and couldn't help but feel emotional, "Father, I will naturally remember, when I pointed to these four words, I told you that in the future, you will be an upright man, a benevolent and caring person. A good official with righteousness, not afraid of power, has no shame in his heart."

Chang Wenbai's eyes were hot, and the bitterness in his heart spread, causing him to blink hard: "So... Father, have you done this?"

Chang Ronghuan was obviously taken aback, as if he had thought of something, his eyes were in a trance, and after a long time, he said: "Why did my son ask this suddenly?"

Obviously didn't want to answer.Chang Wenbai turned his head, and his sharp eyes fixed on Chang Ronghuan's face: "Father, tell your son, have you achieved these four words in your life?"

Chang Ronghuan frowned, apparently not liking Chang Wenbai's attitude: "Wen Bai, what's the matter with you?"

After finishing speaking, he was about to turn around, "What did Lord Lu tell you about the case? If not, then go to the dining hall as soon as possible. Your mother has specially prepared a lot to welcome you back..."

"Father, have you done it?" Chang Wenbai interrupted him, and asked again. This time, before Chang Ronghuan could answer, he continued to ask: "If what my son is facing now, is it against this righteousness?" The four words 'benevolence', then, father, you tell your son, how should the son choose? If the son chooses righteousness, he chooses benevolence, he will kill his relatives... This is what you told your son, father, every word. My son, now, come and tell my son...how should my son choose? Ah, you tell my son...how should I choose?"

Chang Wenbai's hoarse and painful voice at the end made Chang Ronghuan's hand that had already reached the door frame suddenly stopped. His eyes widened a little bit, and then he turned his head in slow motion. Forehead, a man in pain.

Obviously he has already married and established a business, but the man at this moment is like a boy more than ten years ago, so weak, helpless, and screaming in pain like a trapped animal, which made him tremble uncontrollably.

"You, you...know what?" Chang Ronghuan's voice was hoarse, and he pointed at Chang Wenbai with trembling fingers, with a look of fear in his eyes.

Chang Wenbai raised his arms and supported his forehead, blocking the tears gushing out of his eyes. The man did not flick his tears easily, but they did not reach the point of sadness.

In the dungeon, he didn't cry when facing Mr. Lu, but now facing these four words, here, it was his father who taught him those principles, and he did follow those principles, but... ...But in the end, it was also this person who taught him righteousness and benevolence, but it was also this person... who completely ruined everything.

He destroyed the image of the tall father in his heart, and made all this come to naught. The father he always thought could hold up a piece of sky was just a treacherous and despicable villain. He taught him not to be a treacherous person, taught him He became a faithful and pure man, but what about himself?

But his hands were stained with blood, and his mouth was full of benevolence and morality, but he did the most shameless thing.

Chang Ronghuan looked at this scene, trembling, and couldn't help but red eyes, and finally couldn't help rushing over, holding Chang Wenbai's arm: "Tell me, what do you know? Tell me! Say ah!"

The sharp voice made Chang Wenbai finally raise his head slowly, his eyes were bloodshot, he just raised his head with sad eyes, "Father... do you know anything about the adultery case of Pei's daughter 15 years ago?" Was Pei's daughter framed? How much did you meddle in this case?"

As the words "Pei's daughter" poured into his ears little by little, Chang Ronghuan's mind seemed to explode. He was held tightly by Chang Wenbai, not allowing him to back down.

Chang Wenbai slowly straightened up like a ferocious beast, and pressed on Chang Ronghuan little by little. Finally, the two turned upside down completely, and Chang Ronghuan squatted on the ground, with Chang Wenbai half-lifting his shoulders: "Father , you taught me this since I was a child, but... have you done it? Seven lives, including two young children, father... How can you bear it? Tell me, why did you do this? Ah, you said ah?!"

"No—I didn't!" Chang Ronghuan seemed to have finally come to his senses, and suddenly waved Chang Wenbai's hand away, as if shocked, his eyes flustered, "What did you say, I...I can't understand! "

"Father...you can understand, you know what your son is talking about. Back then...how did you disregard Pei's daughter's injustice, you disregarded the youngest of the Shi family, you disregarded the whole family of Pei's family...for the black hat on your head, for the sake of To be promoted, you have betrayed your conscience, your principles...Father, this is the last time my son called you. The moment you and Xue Xunting joined forces, the tall, heroic, righteous father in my heart...has already died."

Chang Wenbai slowly let go of his hand, stood up, slowly wiped away the tears from his eyes, looked at Chang Ronghuan's unbelievable eyes, looked at the wrinkles in the corners of his eyes, and felt sour in his heart, why did things come to this point?

"You...impossible, how could you know so clearly? It's impossible..."

"Chang, Da, Ren." Chang Wenbai called out with a hoarse voice, "There is no impenetrable wall in this world. The bad guys are not punished. It doesn't mean that after a long time, he will be innocent. It's just... justice comes. It's a bit late. Master Chang has taught me these years, and it has been engraved in my blood, so... Now, I choose righteousness.

Mr. Chang, if your conscience is still alive, then you should write down the verdict yourself and submit it. No matter what happens in the future, I and the entire Chang Mansion will go forward and retreat with you. If you continue to choose to join forces with Xue Xunting, then even if Even if I hit my head and bleed, I will not back down.

Master Chang... In these years, you dreamed back at midnight, would you be afraid?People who are afraid of the Pei family, are they afraid of those ghosts of the Shi family? "

The last few words of Chang Wenbai seemed to touch the darkness and fear hidden in Changrong Huan's heart all these years: "What do you know?! What do you know? If I hadn't done that back then, you thought he would have let me go ?Do you let our family off? Do you think I will?

It's been 15 years...every night I dream of Pei's daughter hanging in front of me, dragging her long tongue...with bloody eyes asking me why I didn't save her...

But what can I do?what can I do? "

Back then, he was just a small seventh-rank county magistrate, but Xue Xunting was the direct descendant of the Xue family in Ningzhou Prefecture, and he was the most favored, Xue family, that was not something he could offend at all...

Chang Ronghuan let out a low growl, as if his body had softened, and he squatted on the ground with his head down, as if he had aged ten years all of a sudden, "What will you do if you ask me to be my father? The written promotion papers are put together with the lives of our family, let me choose, how old were you then, what can I do?

The lives of the young and old of the Chang family, you think I don't want to be a good official...

You think I don't want to be ashamed of my heart, if I didn't have a heart to plead for the people, why I didn't stay in the capital with the title of two list Jinshi back then, but ran to the remote Jiangqi Town.But when I got there, everything was different from what I thought... Yes, I flinched. I have been suffering day and night all these years, so I pin my hope on you. I will teach you righteousness and benevolence ...

It's because I'm afraid, I'm afraid that one day, you will be like me, facing such a difficult choice, ashamed of the emperor at the top, and the people at the bottom...Wen Bo...Father was also forced to be helpless. "

Chang Ronghuan burst into tears. Over the years, he may have managed the Ningzhou government in an orderly manner, but no matter how hard he tried, the lives of those people behind him would not be washed away.

Therefore, he could only do some practical things as much as possible while making friends with those people, but after so many years... Finally, something happened.

Chang Wenbai pursed his thin lips tightly, and his hands hanging by his side trembled: "Now is the opportunity... As long as you are willing, you can redeem your sins, write down the document to reverse the case, and correct Xue Xunting. No matter what the final result is, I will share with you, father. Advance and retreat."

Chang Wenbai squatted down and pressed Chang Ronghuan's shoulder seriously.

Chang Ronghuan was stunned, but shook his head quickly in the next moment: "No, no... We can't beat Xue Xunting at all, we can't beat him at all..."

"Even if you can't fight, you have to fight. If you don't try, how do you know it's impossible? If all the officials in the world are so timid, they will only be suppressed like this. Father, do you want your son to be like you? One day, will I become the kind of benevolent, righteous and morally despicable villain that even I hate?"

Chang Wenbai's voice resounded in his ears, but Chang Ronghuan shook his head. It's been so many years... He can't achieve the ambition he had when he first came to Jiangqi Town. His heart has long been eaten away It's gone, my eyes are full of desolation, I can't go back for a long time...

Chang Wenbai looked at Chang Ronghuan who staggered up and was about to go out, and said in a hoarse voice: "Father, do you really...do you want to never face reality? Do you really...do you want to do this? Don't let The son looks down on you, and the son will give you three days to consider. After three days, our father-son relationship will end. When we meet again next time, we will go to court. Father... son farewell."

After all, Chang Wenbai knelt down with a bang, and with that sound, Chang Ronghuan, who had his back turned to him, bumped his head hard, clutching the door tightly, and heard Chang Wenbai behind him kowtow to him one after another. .

In the end, Chang Ronghuan staggered and ran out, bumped into Mrs. Chang who was rushing over, just took a look, and then continued to leave in a hurry.

Mrs. Chang looked towards the open door, saw Chang Wenbo kneeling there, thought of something, her heart moved, the maid behind her asked incomprehensibly, Mrs. Chang took a deep look, but with a Also left in a hurry.

When Lu Mo Ning got the news that Chang Ronghuan did not agree, he did not show any surprise. He knew very well that since Chang Ronghuan agreed back then, it meant that he had some scruples.

He cared about too many things, not to mention, after so many years, he was not the Master Chang who could resolutely ask for orders to go to Jiangqi Town just because of his ambition.

However, he was looking forward to whether Chang Ronghuan would change his mind after a day.

Seeing that he was still smiling, Zhao Tianji couldn't help worrying: "If he disagrees, it will be even more difficult for us to defeat Xue Xunting than ascending to the sky."

Lu Mo Ning said: "Don't worry, now it's just a reminder to Chang Ronghuan, so let's work harder."

"What do you want to do?"

Lu Moning: "Naturally let Chang Ronghuan know that even if he doesn't do anything, this matter... can't be hidden. It's just like back then, forcing him to make another choice."

Zhao Tianji then knew what Lu Moning was going to do. After listening to it, he looked at Lu Moning in disbelief: "You are still a county magistrate, so you pretended to be a Taoist priest, but now... you can't even pretend to be a ghost." dressed up..."

Lu Mo Ning smiled: "As long as the method is useful, why should you stick to those etiquette?"

This is by far the most efficient and fastest way.

What's more, this method will also help everyone know the grievances of the Pei family more quickly.

Although Zhao Tianji said so, he smiled. Seeing the smile on the corner of Lu Moning's mouth, he felt a little itchy. He wanted to touch him, but he thought that he would blow up when he kissed Lu Moning's forehead in excitement. If he did it again, I'm afraid that he will be kicked out directly.

Zhao Tianji went to do it soon, and on the other side, Duan Jinsong had privately found Xue Lingfeng, the eldest grandson of the fourth householder of the Xue family, who is now one of Xue Xunting's right-hand assistants.

But Duan Jinsong didn't believe it, Sifang was really willing to submit to others so willingly, and sure enough, Duan Jinsong found out after just a little probing.

Duan Jinsong's side went very smoothly, while Zhao Tianji turned into a black snake at night and began to pretend to be a ghost. So, in just one night, the whole Ningzhou Mansion began to spread the word that there was a female ghost in Ningzhou Mansion, It is even possible to fly in the air and float...

Scary at night...

With a scarlet tongue sticking out, blood and tears streaming from the corners of his eyes, he was frightening to death...

And there is a time point written on it...

During the day, almost the entire teahouse in Ningzhou Prefecture began to spread the word. In the end, I don’t know who suddenly linked this time point with the previous shocking seven wanted criminals. It was found that the time point when those people were wanted was exactly It is connected with the time when it is written.

Everyone was even more creepy, and the rumors became more and more evil, and finally...

I don’t know who said something more, and set this time point as the most famous adultery case of Pei’s daughter around Ningzhou Prefecture 15 years ago, because too many people died at that time, and it was too evil, so Ningzhou Mansion, not far from Jiangxi Town, has also heard about it.

So... In just two days, almost the entire Ningzhou Prefecture spread the word that the daughter of the Pei family who died unjustly 15 years ago turned into a ghost and came back to take revenge, and the seven damned wanted criminals were the warning given to them by the other party.

Frightened for a moment, the entire Ningzhou Prefecture panicked and terrified.
