Holding the imperial edict in hand, Chen Qing went all the way to the Department of Punishment.The jailer who guarded the gate during the day stood at the door, yawned big, and saw the two idiots who came over during the day with wet eyes.

"I told you I won't let you in. Why are you here again? Tell you, if you continue to make trouble, you will really let you go in for a few days." The jailer was very impatient. He is on duty.

Chen Qing looked at the jailer coldly with a pair of phoenix eyes, and held up the imperial decree in his hand: "The imperial decree has arrived, do you dare to stop it?"

The jailer looked at the imperial decree in Chen Qing's hands, his face was filled with astonishment, and then he quickly knelt down on the ground: "Small...you dare not."

Chen Qing passed the jailer and went straight in. Changji looked at his young master and the jailer kneeling on the ground trembling, and couldn't help but snorted coldly at the jailer.

After the two left, the jailer who was kneeling on the ground breathed a sigh of relief.But he didn't know that the ensuing bad luck was about to come.

Shi Xinxie, the servant of the Punishment Division, hurried out to receive the order. After hearing the order that Chen Qing had read, he was stunned, not knowing whether to accept it or not.Not accepting it is a violation of the holy will, but the family is going to be ransacked and exterminated.It was Chen Defa who received the order, but he hanged himself, so where can I find a living Chen Defa to send it out.Accepting is also resisting the order, not answering is also resisting the order, Shi Xin suddenly felt a little headache.

"Why, my lord is trying to resist the order!" Chen Qing couldn't help frowning when he saw that the servant didn't move for a long time.

"This...then..." Shi Xin hesitated for a long time, but in the end he had no choice but to say: "Chen Defa has hanged himself with Maoshi, and he sent someone to report to the palace, but he must have not arrived yet."

According to common sense, the person who reported to the palace should have arrived at the palace, but here came the imperial decree to pardon Chen Defa's death crime. What does the Holy Majesty mean?Thinking of this, Shi Xin suddenly realized something, and a chill ran down his spine.

"Hang yourself?" Chen Qing murmured in a low voice with an unbelievable look: "How is it possible, the time has not yet come, why did he suddenly hang himself?"

In the book, Chen Defa died on the guillotine on the day of execution.How could he hang himself now, especially after he got the imperial edict.

"What about people, where is my father now?" Chen Qing looked at Shi Xin and asked coldly.

Shi Xin: "Still in the cell."

Shi Xin led the way and brought Chen Qing to the cell: "This is the cell."

Through the gap between the wooden doors, Chen Qing saw a long column-shaped object that was swept up by grass, and said with a slightly trembling voice, "Open the door for me."

The jailer stepped forward and unlocked the iron lock on the door, and Chen Qing stepped in first.Looking at the thing wrapped in straw mats, some couldn't believe it. It used to be the high-spirited and powerful Chen Defa inside.

Chen Qing lifted the straw mat, and saw the appearance of the leaked person.But in just a few days, Chen Defa's disheveled hair was snow-white, his cheeks were sunken and thin, and his eyes that always looked at him with doting eyes were tightly closed at this moment.

With unspeakable bitterness in her heart, Chen Qing red eyes, looking at this person who has only been together for a few months, but who really loves her.Why is it always like this, I obviously tried my best, but in the end nothing can be changed.

"Master..."

Changji looked at Chen Qing's appearance, although he was sad for the master's departure, but he was more worried about the young master.

Just when other people around thought he would cry, Chen Qing just looked at Shi Xin with red eyes: "I want to take him away."

No matter what, they had at least a few months of father-son relationship. Chen Qing didn't want Chen Defa to be rolled up on a straw mat after his death and thrown into the mass grave where the corpses piled up.

"Of course it is possible." Shi Xin hurriedly responded.

Chen Defa was originally a prisoner on death row. When he heard the news that he hanged himself, Shi Xinben didn't pay much attention to it. He was about to die.So he ordered someone to roll it with a straw mat, intending to report it and throw it in the mass grave, but who would have thought that there would be an imperial edict of pardon suddenly, which made Shi Xin panic.

Chen Qing used a wooden cart to push Chen Defa out of the Punishment Division. He wanted to push him to the inn, but he thought that the shopkeeper would definitely disagree, so that's all.

"Master, where are we going to push it?" Chang Ji stood aside to help, lest the young master accidentally overturn the cart.

"Go to the general's mansion."

After all, that is the root of Chen Defa. Although it has become the general's mansion, at least the Chen family is still inside.The third wife loves her son dearly, and she is always afraid that someone will hinder her son's future.But now a dead person probably won't care too much about it.

When they arrived at the General's Mansion, the third lady came out after Xuanren went to report. After seeing Chen Defa's body, her eyes were red and she wiped her tears with a handkerchief.When Chen Chen heard the news, he rushed back from the barracks that night.

It was only later that Chen Qing learned that Chen Defa's ancestral home was not from Danyang, but from Jiangnan.The third lady set up a mourning hall in the mansion, and after the first seven days, she began to prepare for mourning.This is a custom in Chongqi. After the death of the elders in the family, they will enter the ancestral grave after the first seven days.If the ancestral tomb is not in the place where you live, you have to cry and mourn, and cry all the way back to your ancestral home, and then enter the ancestral tomb.

Chen Qing stated that he was in the military and could not go hiking, so the burden of mourning fell on Chen Qing's shoulders, besides, he was also the eldest son.

Walk when you see the stars in the morning, and stop when you see the stars at night. You don't avoid day and night.After such three days, Chen Qing came to Chen Defa's hometown.After these days of hard work, Chen Qing finally couldn't bear it and passed out on the day Chen Defa entered the ancestral grave.

……

On the top of the red vermilion lacquered gate hangs a plaque of black golden nanmu, with three big characters "Hehuan Hall" written on it.

At this moment, a white-clothed man in the hall was anxiously pacing back and forth, regretting why he had to provoke Na Yu Shinan.Knowing that he is the most favored now, he is still desperately trying to get up.

Since entering the palace, she has been looked down upon, not even Yu Shinan who was born in a brothel.I can't help being angry, no matter how good I am, my younger brother stated that he is also a great general of hussars, how can he compare with an actor.After losing his head, he led someone to teach Yu Shinan a lesson.

The original intention was to scare him, but he was so timid, he fell into the lotus pond uselessly.When he saw Emperor Jing jumping into the pool regardless of his identity, carried Yu Shinan up, and hurried into the inner hall, Chen Qinghun almost ran away in fright.YouQi heard a sudden roar from inside the hall: "Call the Imperial Physician!"

At that time, he almost fell limp on the ground, but managed to go back to his Hall of Hehuan with some strength.But the angry look of the emperor really made Chen Qing terrified.

Just as he was pacing back and forth thinking about how to deal with it, he saw a tall figure walking in, wearing a black and gold crown suit, and when he stood firmly in front of him, the jade beads hanging on his eyelids were still shaking back and forth.The handsome face hidden behind was extremely gloomy at the moment.

"Emperor... Your Majesty..." Looking at the emperor's appearance, Chen Qing was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground.

The emperor lowered his head, and stared directly at the terrified Chen Qing with his dark eyes: "Who told you to go to Weiyang Palace? Who gave you the guts to push him into the water?"

Chen Qing was so scared that he couldn't speak a few questions from the emperor.Sensing the dangerous atmosphere around him, Chen Qing resisted the fear and argued: "I didn't push him, I just passed by there. Who knew that Yu Shinan would appear suddenly, I didn't push him."

After Chen Qing finished speaking, he didn't see the emperor's voice, and he was even more frightened in his heart. He rolled his eyes, but couldn't think of a way out.Suddenly the emperor's cold voice sounded: "Your eyes are pretty, but since they are useless, then dig them out."

"No, I didn't hurt him, you can't goug my eyes. No... please..." Chen Qing crawled over to hug the emperor's leg, begging, hoping to make the emperor change his mind.

How could he goug out his own eyes because of this, how could he be so cruel.

The emperor kicked Chen Qing away, as if what he flung away was a pile of disgusting venom.

"If he has nothing to do, let him go. If there is something to do, you can be buried with him." After leaving this sentence, the emperor resolutely left.

Chen Qing lay on the ground in despair, walked in two eunuchs from the outside, and said to Chen Qingqi who was on the ground: "Servant Chen, I have offended you."

The sharp pain of the knife piercing the flesh and tearing off the eyeballs attached to the flesh, Chen Qing was frightened and fainted as early as the knife was stretched out.But when the eyeballs were cut off, he was awakened by the pain, the pain stimulated the nerves, Chen Qing's whole body convulsed, and there was a miserable scream from his mouth...

"Ah—" Chen Qing opened his eyes fiercely, looking at the snow-white curtain, still feeling lingering in his heart.

The cruel order of the emperor in the dream and the heart-piercing pain are unforgettable.Raising his hands to touch his eyes, feeling the protruding eyeballs under the eyelids, he slowly let go of his heart.

Changji came in with an iron basin in his hand, put the basin on the washstand, and walked to the bed.When looking at Chen Qing who was sweating profusely on the bed, he said, "Master, this is a nightmare."

Chen Qing stared blankly at the curtain beside the bed: "Yes, I dreamed that my eyes were gouged out."

Hearing Chen Qing's words, Changji's complexion also changed, wondering how could he have such a weird and terrifying dream.

"Dreams are always the opposite, young master, don't think too much." Then he lifted Chen Qing up and leaned against the head of the bed, still murmuring: "Young master is too tired these days, so he suddenly passed out. I have ordered my servants to cook porridge, and you can eat it after you wash up."

Chen Qing took the handed towel and wiped it casually on his face, only then did he regain consciousness.Passed the towel to Changji and asked, "How long have I been in a coma?"

"It's been a day and a night since the young master passed out that day." Changji recalled that day, the young master passed out in front of the old man's grave just after the old man was buried in the ground, which frightened him.

Now they are still in the old house in Jiangnan.

After washing up, Changji helped Chen Qing get dressed, and ordered his servants to bring the food.

This house has not been lived in for many years, Changji had to buy a few servants, and then cleaned the old house so that it could barely live in.After the young master passed out, he invited a doctor to come and learned that the young master passed out only because of exhaustion, so he let go of his worries.

After dinner, Chen Qing wandered around the old house, and found that although the house was a bit dilapidated, it looked like a small courtyard, which made Chen Qing very happy.I thought that if I took a break here, I would be very comfortable living here.

Today's Chen Qing doesn't want to go back to Danyang at all, there is nothing worthy of his nostalgia there, so why should he go back.In this water town in the south of the Yangtze River, there is a house in a field, and it would be more comfortable to live in it.
