I wish for a long time

Chu Shangzhang's body visibly trembled, his eyes fell on the ground covered with hay, and he remained silent.

Ye Jiu didn't expect him to say it himself, so he continued to speak for him: "Although you are not a young talent, you are still on the rise. From the beginning, you became the secretary of Jingzhao Mansion from the fifth rank. On the word 'love'."

She looked at Chu Shangzhang quietly, with a faint smile on her face, and her tone was cynical, as if she was talking about a rumor in the market, "Concubine Zheng was in the military camp since she was a child, and she was different from ordinary girls in the boudoir. deeply attracted your attention."

"Unfortunately, my father was appointed under the command of General Zheng Da, and he was highly regarded by the general. Therefore, he also got acquainted with Concubine Zheng, and sometimes even practiced martial arts together, but you saw all of this."

Ye Jiu tapped the armrest of the chair with his fingers, looked at Chu Shangzhang's clenched fists, and shook his head slightly, "Seeing is not necessarily believing. What you think is never the truth."

Chu Shangzhang bent slightly, and after a long time, he said: "The truth is the truth. If Zheng Qi hadn't intended to marry Youxi to Lin Fu, how could it have been delayed until [-] years and Hua still remained unmarried, and how could she have finally married... ...married to..."

Chu Shangzhang suddenly became agitated, Ye Jiu glanced at him, and completed for him calmly: "Married to the first emperor, trapped in the palace, ridiculed by others, lost all character, intrigues, and tricks."

Chu Shangzhang stared at Ye Jiu, her words were not pleasant, but they were true.

In the ups and downs of the past [-] years, he has seen nothing and heard nothing, but no matter the vicissitudes of life and the changes of the situation, the elegant and free person who used to be has always remained in his heart and has never changed.

Even, even with that person's child, he is willing to do his best to help.

As long as she wants, she can give it all.

It has been so, and it is still so.

Ye Jiu watched Chu Shangzhang's chest rise and fall violently, his eyes were bloodshot, but the corners of his mouth were tense, and he didn't make a sound.

At that moment, she was slightly taken aback.

If you can't love it, it's the most painful thing.

Those who have not experienced it are not qualified to comment.

Her eyes flashed, and she clenched her fists.

But even if you are unwilling, it cannot be a reason to murder others.

"After Concubine Zheng married into the imperial palace, you felt angry, so you left the capital and became the magistrate in Yingzhou. However, you blamed all this on my father. Finally, in the eighth year of Zhengyuan, you found your chance."

"That year Nanjiang colluded with King Cheng, broke the covenant with Kang Sheng, and raised troops to invade the country. My father led [-] elite soldiers from the Eagle and Tiger Battalion to fight. It was difficult, so I asked the court for reinforcements."

Ye Jiu paused as she spoke, she looked at the extraordinarily bright skylight, and then said, "But all the Tang newspapers were intercepted by King Cheng, and none of the messengers returned. Naturally, my father knew that something must have happened. However, the border war is tight, and food and grass are also in short supply, he has no choice but to turn to you for help—an old acquaintance, and the magistrate of Yingzhou who must pass through on the way to spread the letter."

Ye Jiu suddenly smiled wryly as he spoke, "But what he didn't expect was that he tried his best to send someone in disguise to deliver the letter, but this old friend had already lost his conscience. , Instead of thinking of how to help, he withheld it, and even wrote a report letter, so that he can find a way out for himself after the incident.”

There was a hint of panic in Chu Shangzhang's eyes, his lips quivered slightly, and he denied it flatly, "You are talking nonsense! You yellow-mouthed kid, how could you know the inside story back then!"

Ye Jiu sneered, took out a piece of yellowed paper from his cuff, and shook it lightly, "I know, it's because of your blessing that the letter written by my father for help came from your study. I found it in the secret room, why, do you still want me to read it to you?"

Chu Shangzhang's face changed drastically, he kept shaking his head with a pale face, "No...don't read..."

"Oh~ don't you want to read it?" Ye Jiu glanced at every corner of the letter, "My father's words are sincere, words of blood and sweat, and meaning of loyalty to the soul, Uncle Chu just can't hear it."

She then nodded self-consciously, "That's right, Commander Lin led two hundred remnant soldiers to fight to the last drop of blood and defend the Lingnan River Valley. Even if the whole army was wiped out and the Southern Xinjiang cavalry stepped over the corpse, they never took a step back, but until they fell, They didn’t even wait for reinforcements from the imperial court.”

"Thirty thousand heroic souls died in vain on the frontier. When Uncle Chu dreamed back at midnight, did he hear a roar and a streak of blood..."

"Shut up! Shut up!"

Chu Shangzhang suddenly went crazy, and the iron chain made a harsh sound.

Ye Jiu looked at him without blinking, even stood up, took two steps forward, bent down, and looked at him at the same level: "The status and glory that was exchanged with the blood of my compatriots, Uncle Chu, is it good?"

Chu Shangzhang rushed over like crazy, trying to tear up the dirty and dark letter engraved in Ye Jiu's hand, but the iron chain straightened and his body struggled violently, but he still couldn't get close to Ye Jiu's body. Slowly slid to the ground.

"It's him...it's him who ruined Youxi...it's him who ruined..."

Chu Shangzhang's voice became smaller and smaller, he leaned forward and muttered to himself.

"yes."

Ye Jiu straightened up, played with the jade bracelet that he took out at some time, and said with a light smile, "Does it look familiar?"

Chu Shangzhang raised his crimson eyes, stared at him for a while, then widened his eyes, "This is... this is Zheng..."

Ye Jiu shook it lightly, "Concubine Zheng gave it to my mother, it must have been more than twenty years ago."

Chu Shangzhang was stunned for a moment, "For your mother? For your mother..."

Ye Jiu smiled casually, "You will never understand, because your narrowness has turned your whole life into a joke."

Chu Shangzhang's eyes were full of panic and confusion, and he looked very pitiful under his gray hair and beard.

"Say it clearly...you tell me clearly..."

Ye Jiu put it away unhurriedly, sat back on the chair, seemed to really think about it seriously, "Alright, then answer me a few questions."

Chu Shangzhang nodded hastily, "Say it, say it."

"Chu Mansion in Yuncheng, who are you?"

Chu Shangzhang was stunned for a moment, with suspicion in his eyes, "Why are you asking this?"

"You just answer."

"It's my distant nephew."

"Then why didn't he have the chance to be transferred from the capital?"

Chu Shangzhang hesitated a bit, but still replied: "Family matters."

Ye Jiu raised his eyebrows slightly, and sat up straight, "Family matters? Well, let me ask you, what does your nephew have to do with Qi Zhengze, the former Minister of Officials?"

Chu Shangzhang paused for a moment, he looked into Ye Jiu's dark eyes, opened his mouth, but said nothing.

Ye Jiu looked at her coldly, and squeezed the armrest tightly with his hands hidden under his sleeves, trying to suppress his beating heart.

Chu Shangzhang looked at her and finally sighed, "After all, I underestimated you. You are a leech in the mud. Give you a little space, and you can eat human bone marrow."

"Well, it's just a small thing."

"My nephew is Qi Zhengze's disciple, and he is also my internal response to King Xian. He has a close relationship with the Qi family. The two dragons fought the year before last, and it was also the letter he reported to me. His Royal Highness Mu Wang has something to say. Beware, you will instead lead the army of King Xian. Why, is the Qi family hindering you again?"

Ye Jiu closed his eyes and took three deep breaths before suppressing the anger in his heart.

It's him again...it's him again...it's him again! !

Now she can't wait to screw off the head of the beast in front of her and kick it like a ball!

Previously, Bei Xiao's secret letter only found the relationship between the two people's uncle and nephew, and the coincidence of the time of moving out. She only suspected that this matter might be related to the collapse of the Qi family, but she didn't expect that the truth would be so annoying.

"Small things..." Ye Jiu raised his head and forced back the tears in his eyes, "People like you who only care about themselves, everyone else is just ants, so it's not worth mentioning."

"Fortunately, for a 'giant' like you, you will be nailed to the pillar of shame for the rest of your life, and will be abused by future generations.

Chu Shangzhang was not annoyed when he heard the words, with a sinister smile on the corner of his mouth, he said: "So what, if you wanton in life, who cares about the name behind it."

"It's just that you, a loyal and patriotic slave like you, still want to come down to accompany me, a sinner like me hahahahaha."

Evil laughter echoed in the cell, and Chu Shangzhang looked at Ye Jiu with pity, and said, "Oh, yes, it's not just that, there's also your friend, and Xue Qingchi, all come down to accompany me."

He gritted his teeth, and the whites of his eyes occupied most of his eye sockets, "I tell you, there is no antidote, I killed that man, hahahahaha, you can't survive, hahaha, there is no antidote, no..."

Ye Jiu calmly looked at Chu Shangzhang's state of almost madness, she brushed off the dust from her sleeves, and said softly: "Then you should not be torn apart by the souls who are demanding your life first, it's more than 3, Uncle Chu."

Chu Shangzhang's cheeks kept trembling, and he still stared at Ye Jiu.

Ye Jiu smiled faintly, before leaving, he suddenly remembered something, bent down again, and said softly, "By the way, those bracelets are a pair."

After all, Ye Jiu left without looking back.

Until he was about to step out of the prison door, a burst of shrill laughter mixed with roars suddenly came out from the deep corridor. Ye Jiu paused, blinked calmly, and then stepped into the light.

……

On the way back, Ye Jiu rarely abandoned his car, instead he rode his horse and walked slowly towards the Hou Mansion.

But the man on the horseback still had a silent expression on his face.

Ye Jiu didn't want to go back so soon, not at all.

Those old things finally came to light, whether it was General Lin's death in battle, or the old cases of the Qi family, one by one, it seemed that they all came to an end.

However, at present, she has no solution to her soul for a hundred days, Bei Xiao is in prison, and Yu Ning is seriously injured, any of which is enough to make her face change when she asks.

She seemed to have an answer, but she didn't seem to get anything.

Ye Jiu sighed heavily.

She didn't know how to face them, she didn't know how to face Qi Shao'an's worries, she didn't know how to face Song Chuxun's hopes, and even Xue Jingning's anger, she didn't know how to speak.

It seemed that the knife rested on his neck a few days ago, and he was not as tired as he is now.

The horseshoe took a few steps and stopped on the spot.

Ye Jiu recovered from his contemplation, turned his head and saw that the Hou Mansion had already arrived.

She smiled forcefully, moved her cheeks, maintained a fairly relaxed expression, and got off the horse.

"Xiao Jiu."

Ye Jiu was stunned for a moment, but when he looked up, he saw Xiao Lanfeng coming out from behind the stone lion, and called her in a low voice.

"Mo Ru?"

Xiao Lanfeng paused, and walked towards her, but when he got closer, Ye Jiu noticed the obvious haggardness on his face.

"You are..."

Ye Jiu was a little surprised, as if he had never seen Xiao Lanfeng lost his mind like this before, even his steps slowed down a lot.

Xiao Lanfeng squeezed his fist, and spoke in a deep voice, his voice was a little hoarse:

"I don't know who else can help me now."

Xiao Lanfeng seemed to muster up his courage, looked at Ye Jiu, and said slowly:

"Xiao Jiu, can you help me save someone."

The author has something to say: sharpen the knife to ... (no)
