Rebirth of the Taming of the Slaves

I don't know how Liang Chuyi returned to the posthouse that day, I only heard that the eldest prince of Xiling fought with others in the street that day, and it seemed that there was a lot of commotion.The wrist pinched by Liang Chuyi turned blue the next day. Baozi wanted to ask me how I did it, but was held back by Cangzi.

Two days later, the emperor decreed that the fourth princess betrothed to the eldest prince Liang Chuyi of Xiling, and at the same time, a criminal evidence of the sixth prince's corruption of ink was handed over to the imperial case.When the emperor saw Longyan was furious, he immediately demoted the six princes to common people and punished them to guard the imperial tomb and never return to court.When the sixth prince left the capital, I took Jedi and others to take a look at it from a distance. Wei Lizheng, who had chased and killed me, was standing tall and straight behind the sixth prince in civilian clothes.I couldn't see his expression clearly under the mask, I only knew that he looked at the sixth prince with tenderness and admiration in his eyes.

Since then, the Sixth Prince completely lost the possibility of inheriting the throne, and the Sixth Prince's party also fell apart.

When I came back from outside the city, I didn't go back directly to the mansion, but went to the prison.When the emperor sent the sixth prince away, he also convicted a group of people in Washington.The old grand master Hua was sent back to his hometown because of his meritorious service, and his sons were deeply involved with the sixth prince, and several of them were also accomplices in the ink corruption case. They were all sentenced to death because they did not have the blessing of the royal blood. , or exile.In short, the Hua family, which had stood at the center of power for many years, also collapsed overnight.

Although Hua Jinxiang was born of the following people, he also belongs to the blood of the Hua family. He was supposed to be convicted and exiled, but because of his good attitude in pleading guilty, and I asked my father to help him deal with it, Hua Jinxiang was acquitted. released.

When he came to the sky prison, Hua Jinxiang, dressed in prison clothes, was standing at the door of the prison with his hands in shackles, asking the jailer to help him unlock it.Feeling that the light at the door dimmed, he turned his head to look at me.Seeing that it was me, Hua Jinxiang smiled at me, stretched out his hand and squeezed his wrist, which had been locked for many days, and asked in a good mood, "Why are you here? Have you fully recovered?"

"My health is fine, now that my friend is acquitted, I will naturally come to pick him up from prison."

At this time, when everyone in Washington who was locked up in the prison saw me coming, they all stared angrily and wanted to pounce on me and tear me to pieces.Some others pointed at Hua Jinxiang and yelled at him, saying that he was a white-eyed wolf who didn't know how to raise him.

Hua Jinxiang showed no anger in the face of the scolding of several people, but looked at them with a smile on his face, and said with a smile: "Haha, white-eyed wolf? Dare I ask what Washington has given me over the years? Back then I knelt I begged you to bury my mother on the ground, how did you do it?! I was bullied and insulted at will by a servant in Washington, where are you?! I have endured the humiliation all these years, just for today! I just want Hua The government is completely destroyed, I just want you to die!"

After finishing speaking, Hua Jinxiang raised his head and laughed, I stood aside and watched the drop from the corner of his eye flowing into his hair, sighed inwardly, stepped forward and patted him silently to comfort him.

Hua Jinxiang stopped laughing, looked at the people in the prison for a while, kowtowed to the people in Washington on his knees, turned and left without looking back.Everyone in Washington was stunned by Hua Jinxiang's sudden move, and the shouting and cursing stopped, staring blankly at Hua Jinxiang's leaving back, not knowing what to say.Only the old man in Washington quietly leaned against the side of the prison without moving, even his expression did not change.

I still have some respect for this veteran who has galloped in court for decades, so I bowed to him, turned around and left.When I walked to the door of the cell, I only heard a muffled sound, and then there was a voice calling for Mr. Hua from inside the cell.I stood still and turned around, the old man in his dying years had hit a wall in his room and committed suicide.

After Hua Jinxiang was released from prison, he did not stay in the capital for a few more days. He took a rest and left the capital alone with a small package.Before he left, I asked him where he was going, Hua Jinxiang smiled and did not speak.Until many years later, I met Hua Jinxiang again. He has become a wealthy businessman. We talked a lot about the experience in the prison and we never mentioned it...

The matter of the release was delayed by my injury, and now that the injury is healed, it is naturally time to set off on the road.After preparing at home, I took Baozi, Cangzi and Fanyu and set out on the road.When I walked out of the mansion with my luggage, the elder sister who had just been appeased by her elder brother-in-law still couldn't help but tugged on my sleeve, and even the second sister's eye circles were red.

"What's the matter? It's not that I won't come back. I promise to come back as soon as three years pass. Eldest sister, second sister, please be more energetic and add more nephews to me." After my voice fell, the elder sister and The second sister let go of her blushing cheeks, and turned her head away after spitting on me.

I turned my head to look at my father. He didn't say a word from the beginning. I knew the worry and reluctance in his heart. I stepped forward and hugged my father like a child and rubbed against his neck. , said in a hoarse voice: "Father, take good care of yourself, and find another one that suits you."

My father was still a little sad by my hug, but when he heard the latter sentence, he immediately raised his head and slapped me on the head, and went back home angrily with his hands behind his back.Seeing that the sorrow of leaving had been diluted a lot by me, I nodded at them, turned around and stepped on the carriage.

After a long time, when I was chatting with my second sister, I heard her say that after I left, my father stood alone at the door and watched for a long time. After being persuaded by the eldest sister to go back, he sat in the front hall and wiped his tears for a long time.

Hearing these words in my ears, I couldn't help feeling sour.Ever since I can remember, I have never seen my father cry. Even when my mother passed away, that mighty man never shed tears, but I never thought that because his useless son left his side, he would be in tears.This should be what is often said to be pitiful to parents in the world.

The wedding day between Liang Chuyi and the fourth princess is scheduled to be ten days later. I don't want to have any entanglements with these two people anymore, so I had someone send me a congratulatory gift before leaving the capital.As for the future, I just hope that we will forget each other in the rivers and lakes.

Cangzi's health has mostly recovered, so she got out of the car and went back to Miaojiang with us when we were in Liangzhou.These days, I'm used to having such a person by my side, and now seeing him leaving, I feel a rare feeling of reluctance.At the turn of the intersection, Baozi, who was already in tears, and I watched Cangzi, who was wearing a veiled hat, ride away on horseback until the other party disappeared into the distance. Then I looked away, and we boarded the carriage with Baozi and walked slowly towards Taiping County. go.

Stopping and stopping along the way, the three of us finally arrived in Taiping County after one and a half months.It was noon at this time, and Fan Yu, who was driving the car, woke up Baozi and me who were huddled together in the carriage and slept like pigs, saying that Taiping County had arrived.I rubbed my eyes in bewilderment, and opened the curtain of the car with my eyes full of gum. What I saw was a neat street and vendors who had already set up stalls by the roadside.There is an endless stream of pedestrians on the street, with satisfied smiles on their faces.Looking at their clothes, although some of them are patched, they are much better than the sallow, emaciated and poorly clothed people in some states and counties on the way we came.

Sitting in the car, I covered my mouth and yawned, thinking to myself that my elder brother-in-law hadn't lied to me, and that Taiping County is really a good place.

I was almost nauseated from eating dry food along the way, and now I saw a restaurant on the street, so I hurriedly asked Fan Yu to stop to have a toothpaste.

Baozi was also awake at this time, when he heard that we were going to the restaurant for dinner, his eyes lit up, he quickly packed his clothes and got out of the car behind me.After entering the lobby, I picked a table and ordered a few dishes in a mess to Xiao Er who nodded and bowed, and then helped me pull a stool for me to sit down.

Fan Yu also parked the car at this time and walked in. Seeing us sitting in the corner of the lobby, he strode over, lifted up his clothes and sat down next to Baozi.Along the way, the three of us are used to eating and sleeping together, and we have already forgotten our dignity.

After a full meal, Fan Yu asked Xiaoer for the direction of the county government. The Xiaoer was also kind-hearted, he showed us the way and sent us out of the door with a warm attitude.

A quarter of an hour later, the three of us arrived at the gate of the county government office.The yamen servant guarding the door saw several strangers approaching, stretched out his hand to block us from the steps, and shouted loudly, "Who are you?"

Hearing this, Baozi remembered that my official credentials and seals were still in the baggage on the carriage, hurriedly said to the two of them to wait a moment, then turned around and ran to the carriage to pull out the contents of the parcel and handed them to the two yamen servants .The two of them took the official certificate and looked at it, and their faces immediately changed and they bent over to salute me.

I raised my hand to help the two of them up, and they led them into the county government office.Not long after, all the staff of the county government gathered in the courtyard of the county government. I took a quick look, and there were as many as five or sixty people standing in a mess.Because I have to stay here for three years, I don't have to rush to recognize everyone.So under the guidance of the county magistrate, I got acquainted with a few people in charge and asked them to separate.

The back hall of the county government office has been tidied up some time ago. Baozi was afraid that the house would be poor and I would not feel comfortable living in it.After seeing the exquisite little yard in the backyard, he also nodded in satisfaction, and even said that it was much better than he imagined.

I asked Baozi to pack the things I brought into the living room and bedroom one by one, and I sat on the chair in the living room and asked the county magistrate and the master to bring over the files and documents of Taiping County. The two of them had already found out my identity. , at the moment, each of them is worried that there is something that I don't like, and now they see what I say, and immediately do as I say.

After a cup of tea, the two of them walked in with files and files more than a foot high, and carefully placed them on the coffee table in the living room. He opened a dossier and looked at it carefully.
