marriage contract

A reminder from the old lady Chu back then allowed the second master Chu to escape this liquidation. At first he also doubted the old lady Chu's words, but seeing the end of the Marquis of Ji'an's mansion today, he is really serious. Thank you Mrs. Chu for coming.

If it wasn't for the fact that the Chu family had separated early, if it wasn't for the fact that he hadn't had much contact with the Marquis of Ji'an's mansion these years, they certainly wouldn't have been so easy to let them go when they were liquidated.

Now that the Chu family's verdict has come down, the old master Chu and the old master Chu will definitely die, and the two nephews probably won't come back after being exiled.

Although Mrs. Chu became an official and a slave, she is still his own mother. When it comes to support, he should naturally come forward. There is no reason why the son is still alive but let the grandson support him. He does not intend to let the world poke his back. .

Seeing the second and third masters of Chu who came to pick up Mrs. Chu, Mrs. Chu felt angry from her heart. Her father-in-law and husband were about to die, and her two sons were sentenced to exile. She and her grandson were enslaved in the government and sold on the street .

Their fate is so miserable, how can these people be safe and sound, until now she does not believe that the Chu family actually participated in the rebellion, it must be framed by others, and this second master Chu who has been staring at his own title is very suspicious.

Mrs. Chu was splashed with dirty water, and the second master Chu was also very annoyed. He hadn't complained that the Marquis of Ji'an had troubled him, but Mrs. Chu actually complained first.

The timing of Chu Junyi's arrival was very coincidental. It was the time when the two of them had the most quarrel and almost started fighting. Perhaps it should be said that Mrs. Chu was the only one who wanted to make a move. It's on Master Chu Er.

No matter how angry Master Chu was, he would never hit a woman, let alone this woman is his sister-in-law, it would be a bad thing if he continued to beat her. It is better to avoid suspicion between uncles and sisters-in-law.

But Mrs. Chu didn't understand his considerations at all, and the remaining bit of reason was burned out, and all her self-cultivation was fed to the dogs, just wanting to rush over and gnaw this person alive.

Chu Junyi didn't enter the house, but just leaned against the door frame and watched quietly with his arms folded. There were not many servants left to serve, not to mention that even if they saw Chu Junyi at this time, they didn't dare to make a sound to remind him.

The first person to see Chu Junyi was First Young Master Chu. He is 12 years old this year, and he is already an adult. When the male elders at home are not around, he should be the one to support the door.

"Sixth Uncle." First Young Master Chu made a big gift to Chu Junyi. He did this gift sincerely. Their family was bought by Chu Junyi at a high price, and the house they lived in was also arranged by someone sent by Chu Junyi. No matter how hostile his family was to Chu Junyi, he was grateful to Chu Junyi for lending a helping hand at this time.

Chu Junyi nodded slightly, and accepted his big gift, which he felt at ease.

Mrs. Chu was even more angry when she saw her grandson salute Chu Junyi, but Chu Junyi accepted it.But before the outbreak, the daughter-in-law quickly stopped her. The house they live in now is under the name of Chu Junyi, and it is not good for them to really annoy people.

Although Grandma Chu didn't want her son to bow his head to Chu Junyi, but the situation was stronger than others, and she could only endure this breath before thinking of a way out.

Seeing Chu Junyi coming, Master Chu was a little uncomfortable. Before the Chu family was sold on the street, he also sent someone to buy it, but the person in charge of this matter didn't give him any face. If it wasn't for Chu Junyi, he would also send People go over, maybe the Chu family will be bought away by others.

Third Master Chu, who had been pretending to be a wallflower, frowned slightly, turned his head to look at Chu Junyi, and sized him up carefully. This younger brother really surprised him.

From Mrs. Hou to official slave, the difference in identity is too great, and the identity change is so fast, Mrs. Chu's heart is twisted to the extreme, especially when she sees the Chu family who have not been convicted, she is very angry. It's the same for Master Chu and Third Master Chu, and it's the same for Chu Junyi.

Originally Chu Junyi was still observing First Young Master Chu, but when Mrs. Chu pointed the cannon fire at him, his face turned cold, he glanced at her coolly, pointed sideways outside, and said, "If the eldest aunt agrees with the sentence If you are not satisfied, you can go to the Ministry of Criminal Justice and Dali Temple to sue, anyway, they are not done yet."

"You, you threatened me?!" Mrs. Chu's face turned pale, and her arrogance disappeared in an instant. This kind of thing will only get worse and worse. I would rather kill the wrong than let it go. How useful is a lawsuit.

"Where is it? Auntie thinks too much." Chu Junyi said coolly.

Chu Da rarely saw that the atmosphere was not right, so he quickly interjected, "I don't know why the sixth uncle came here?" Chu Junyi had never shown up before, and it is impossible that he came here this time just to see them.

Chu Junyi turned his gaze back to First Young Master Chu. Although there were many faults with Uncle Chu, this son was well-raised, but he didn't directly explain why he came here, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Do you know what crime Grandpa and the others have committed?" ?”

Young Master Chu gasped for breath. The Chu family was convicted because of their involvement with Prince Yu, but he didn't know the specific charges.

"The Huang family was ransacked on the same day as the Marquis of Ji'an, you know?" Chu Junyi nodded when he saw him, and said again: "On the day Prince Yu rebelled, Mr. Huang was the second batch of people who were arrested, and uncle... ... deserved to be by his side."

The room was quiet, and everyone looked at Chu Junyi in astonishment.

Chu Junyi didn't care about their reactions, and continued: "Grandfather has done a lot more than Mr. Huang, but it's because grandfather fell ill and was bedridden before that day, so he was spared. Mr. Huang On the spot when they were captured, all the males above the age of eight in the Huang family were executed, and the boys under the age of eight were exiled in northern Xinjiang. Kind of. If there is no help from grandma, the Huang family will be your end."

Officials and slaves can also be redeemed and not redeemed. Redemption does not mean getting rid of one's nationality, but the difference between the master and the slave.

The Chu family are official slaves that can be bought and sold, while the Huang family are official slaves that cannot be bought and sold. This kind of official slaves entering Jiaofang is equivalent to entering a brothel and signing a death contract. Unless they die, they can only stay for a lifetime inside.Even if someone wants to redeem him, the leader of Jiaofang can't nod, otherwise his head will be lost.

"Although there is a possibility of amnesty for the whole world, the criminals and their family members who are involved in rebellion are not included in the amnesty, and the number of amnesties in the past 300 years of my dynasty has only been four times, and they were all before the first emperor came to the throne. The first emperor did not I am happy to pardon the world, but the emperor is also not happy, and so is the prince." Chu Junyi's voice was very calm, and his face was expressionless, and he kept looking at First Young Master Chu when he was speaking, wanting to see how he would react.

No matter how the rest of the Chu family didn't believe it, anyway, Young Master Chu recovered quickly after the shock. He remembered the old lady Chu's attitude these days. If the end of the Chu family should be like this, then it's no wonder she Always showing that extremely complicated expression.

"Sixth Uncle told me this...does he have some advice?" First Young Master Chu asked cautiously.

"It's not really advising, but I want you to understand your situation." Looking at his dim eyes, Chu Junyi sighed in his heart: The child is a good boy, but it's just a pity.

Uncle Chu is not the only child in the house now, the child's mother is so distressed to death seeing the children's sluggish expressions, they are all glaring at Chu Junyi.

Chu Junyi folded his arms and observed for a while, and then said: "Actually, there is another way to get out of citizenship, and it depends on whether you can make up your mind."

"What is it?" First Young Master Chu asked.

"Join the army." Chu Junyi gave the answer.

Young Master Chu swallowed his saliva, opened his mouth but didn't know what to say. Although the Chu family was born as a general, but in Uncle Chu's generation, no one practiced martial arts anymore. He still hesitated about joining the army.

"The Xiongnu side has stopped for the time being, but border wars will still arise in a few years. If there are wars, there will be casualties, and if there are casualties, there will be military merits. Using military merits to get rid of citizenship is the only way. Chengzhi is at the border There is still some relationship at the other end, if you are willing to go, don’t dare to say too much, it’s okay to take care of one or two.” Chu Junyi saw the light in his eyes, and poured a basin of cold water on it, “But you also have to Think about it clearly, a sword has no eyes, and if you are not careful, you may die."

First Young Master Chu's head drooped again, with dark clouds covering his head.

Chu Junyi looked at the other nephews and said, "It's the same with you, if you think it over, send someone to tell me."

The children all nodded with tangled expressions.

Seeing that the matter was almost over, Chu Junyi ignored their hesitant expressions, turned around and went to find Mrs. Chu.

The Chu family's property was confiscated, but the sacrificial fields and ancestral tablets were all right. Chu Junyi had already sent them over, and Mrs. Chu often came to see them these days.

When Chu Junyi saw the old lady Chu, she was standing in front of the incense table. Chu Junyi walked behind her and saw the memorial tablet of Master Chu San placed in front of her.

The old lady Chu stared at the memorial tablet for a long time, her eyes were full of emotions, and she closed her eyes when tears piled up in her eyes, and said softly, "You did a good job."

Her son did not forget about the Chu family. Although Chu Junyi didn't tell her much, she could guess that without the arrangement of the third master Chu for decades, even if Chu Junyi wanted to, he would not be able to achieve this level. .

Third Master Chu was afraid that she would be worried, so he didn't tell her the situation of the Chu family and what he had done, but she only believed in what she saw with her own eyes, so she regarded her son's concealment as inaction.

In those years, she misunderstood him.

Chu Junyi pursed his lips, although things have long changed, but with the old lady Chu's words, the third master Chu would be able to rest in peace if he knew it.

"Thank you too." Mrs. Chu didn't turn around, her tone remained calm.

"I also want to protect myself." Chu Junyi smiled.

The old lady Chu shook her head and said, "There is also the matter of your nephew."

"Then treat it as a favor owed to me." Chu Junyi's tone was very relaxed.

No matter what, those children are innocent. He doesn't have much affection for the Chu family, nor does he have any resentment.

It's not a secret to join the army and get out of the army. It's just that it's not easy for people without connections to walk this way. How can they accept their fate when the son of the Hou's mansion becomes an official slave.

That being the case, why should he not be a good person anymore? It's just a matter of a letter, and it's just a house and a piece of land if it's not.

To achieve this point, he can be regarded as the most benevolent.

The old lady Chu sighed, they owed him a lot, when will they pay it off.

When Chu Junyi was about to leave, Mrs. Chu stopped him.

Chu Junyi paused, waiting for her next words.

"Thank you Mr. Gu for helping me," she said.

Chu Junyi replied: "Okay."

When Chu Junyi returned to the mansion, he was hugged as soon as he stepped into the door.

"When did you come back?" Chu Junyi was taken aback.

Gu Chengzhi replied in a muffled voice: "I just came back not long ago."

"How was the result?" Chu Junyi asked softly.

Gu Chengzhi tightened his arms, put his head close to Chu Junyi's ear, and said in a low voice, "I'll kill them."

Chu Junyi hugged him back and sighed: "That's good, you did a good job."

It was inconvenient for Gu Chengzhi to intervene in Prince Yu's affairs, but the emperor and Jin Rong didn't want him to be idle, so Gu Chengzhi was sent to interrogate the third prince's henchmen.

And this trial allowed Gu Chengzhi to find the murderer who killed Master Gu Er.

Although he knew who killed his father and enemy, Gu Chengzhi insisted on holding back until he wiped out all the followers of the third prince, and then he told his majesty that he asked for a leave of absence by the way.

The emperor approved his leave, and Gu Chengzhi left the capital to take revenge that day, and he left for half a month.

Although Gu Chengzhi had never seen the body of Master Gu Er, he knew that his death was extremely tragic from the description of others.

Gu Chengzhi was not a murderous person, but when faced with those who killed his father and enemies, he still couldn't control the killing intent that surged up in his heart. He inflicted ten times and a hundred times the torture that Master Gu had suffered on those people body, tortured people to death alive.

The guards who left Beijing with Gu Chengzhi were all shocked, and they were cautious when talking to him in the following days.

Gu Chengzhi didn't feel very happy after avenging his father, his father was gone, no matter how much he tortured those people, Master Gu Er would never come back to life.

At that moment, he wanted to see Chu Junyi very much, so before the blood splashed on his hand had coagulated and dried, he led his people to rush to the capital at full speed.

When he hugged Chu Junyi in his arms, the emptiness in his heart was gradually filled, the bloodthirsty impulse slowly receded, and the peace and tranquility returned again.

Chu Junyi sensed that something was wrong with his mood, but he didn't know how to comfort him, so he could only change the subject and said, "Just now I went to my grandmother and told those little ones about getting out of military service. I think they'll agree."

"En." Gu Chengzhi responded sullenly.

"Well, grandma seems to have forgiven father, and she even thanked you." Chu Junyi said dryly.

Gu Chengzhi didn't speak, but his arms tightened a little more, and the warm breath spewed out on the side of Chu Junyi's neck, arousing his chills.

Chu Junyi's ears blushed slightly, he pursed his lips and said: "There is one more thing, Mr. Gu cheated Mr. Gu, and by the way, Mrs. Gu's orders were cheated."

"What's going on?" Gu Chengzhi raised his head with a surprised expression.
