(These chapters are a bit abusive, bear with it, don't scold people.) ）

"Lord Lin is gone, and I will resign. I Du Weijian also participated in this matter, and I can't escape the blame. I think it's nothing more than a demotion, so if the lower official resigns today, it can be regarded as forgiveness. Take care, two adults. Du Wei suddenly said loudly.

"Huh?" Fang Dunru, Yan Zheng, Su Tian, Muyuan and the others were all stunned.

Tian Muyuan asked in surprise: "Master Du, are you also leaving?" ”

Du Wei snorted coldly and did not answer.

Yan Zhengsu frowned and said, "Du Weichuan, this official does not intend to punish you, and you don't have to be primarily responsible for this matter." The Ordinance Division needs people like you. You don't have to resign. ”

Du Wei gradually said in a deep voice: "Thank you for your forgiveness, but I have made up my mind." I came to the Ordinance Department to repay the burden and do something to change the current status quo of Da Zhou. But...... I'm only now realizing that this is not what I thought it would be. Lord Lin is thinking about the change of the law and the two adults, and I completely agree with his idea. But what did he get? The two adults are so ruthless, it makes people's hearts cold. I was disillusioned and didn't want to stay here. Besides, how can I, Du Weichuan, be in company with someone like Liu Xiding? Won't you dishonor me? Wait a minute, and my words will be sent to them soon. There is no need to persuade again. ”

Fang Dunru said coldly: "Okay, if you are allowed to do so, could it be that without Lin Jue and Du Weiji, the Regulations Department will not be able to operate?" You're too arrogant. Liu Xiding, from now on, you will preside over the inspection of the school's text office, and I will send people to fill the vacancy in the near future. ”

Liu Xiding couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly bowed down to promise.

Yan Fang and the others brushed their sleeves away, Du Wei gradually wrote down his resignation letter with great effort, took off his official uniform, dotted his package, and went out on his back.

Tian Muyuan pulled his sleeve and persuaded: "Lord Du think twice, Lord Du think twice." Don't be presumptuous. ”

Du Wei gradually smiled: "Without me, Du Weiji, the Ordinance Department will still operate, why should Lord Tian be like this." I wanted to travel the world and be a casual person for a long time, and then I was told that serving my country was the right way. When Lord Yan and Lord Fang returned to serve in the imperial court, I thought about doing something with the two adults. However...... It backfires, and things often don't go as they seem, so there's no need to say more. Master Tian, don't leave it here, we'll have a meeting later. ”

After Du Wei finished speaking, he put the package on his shoulder, turned around and strode away.

Tian Muyuan looked at Du Wei's back as he gradually left in a dashing manner, and muttered with a sad face: "It's over now, without Lord Lin and Master Du, what else can this school text public house do?" ”

On one side, a cold voice came: "Lord Tian, what are these words?" Are you looking down on me Liu Xiding? I, Liu Xiding, am also one of the top three, can't I do it? Three-legged toads are hard to find, and there are not many two-legged people, right? Without him, Lin Juedu will gradually rise, and tomorrow will still rise and sunset, and he will still eat and drink. Go, sort out the inner room, and from tomorrow onwards, I will work alone in the inner room. ”

……

Lin Jue returned to the house in a daze. Under the porch of the back house, Green Dance is teaching Bai Bing to be a female red. Seeing Lin Jue coming back, the two women hurriedly put down the needle and thread and stood up.

"Huh? Why did you come back at noon? Didn't you say you wouldn't come back? Midori Dancer stepped forward.

Lin Jue said in a trance: "Did I say it?" Oh, I should have said that. I forgot. ”

Green Dance smiled: "I forgot about it, so did you eat it?" I was too lazy to bother with Bing'er at noon, so I got a few pieces of dim sum and didn't let the kitchen cook. If you don't eat, I'll make it for you. ”

Lin Jue waved his hand and said, "No need, I'm not hungry." I was a little tired, so I went back to my room to rest. ”

Lu Wu frowned and looked at Lin Jue and said, "Childe, what's wrong?" Why is it listless and sick? Do I have a fever? ”

Lu Wu stretched out her little hand to Lin Jue's forehead to wipe it, Lin Jue reached out and grabbed her hand and smiled reluctantly: "I'm fine, maybe I got up too early in the morning and felt a little dizzy, just go back to the room and rest." ”

Green Dance hurriedly said, "Oh, then hurry up and go to sleep for a while." ”

Lin Jue nodded and slowly walked to the bottom of the porch. Bai Bing stood there looking at him with concern, Lin Jue smiled reluctantly: "Learn needlework?" Okay, you go on, I'll go sleep. ”

After Lin Jue returned to the room, the two women stood under the porch and looked at each other. Green Dance frowned and said, "It seems that something is wrong, Childe looks listless today, I'm afraid he is really sick." ”

Bai Bing shook his head and said, "It's not like it's sick, it's like something happened." If I'm sick, I can see it at a glance. He was in a bad mood. ”

Midori said: "Feeling bad? Who him off? I'll ask. ”

Bai Bing said: "Don't ask, he doesn't seem to want to speak." If he wanted to tell us, he told us just now. Something should have happened. Let him be quiet and come back and ask again. ”

Green Dance frowned and thought for a while, "It's okay." I'm really a little worried, Childe is usually not like this, and I haven't seen him like this in big things, so I still talk and laugh. What the hell is going on? It's a hurry. ”

Lin Jue collapsed on the bed, his mind in chaos. Lin Jue's heart was full of anger, grievances, incomprehension, sadness and other emotions. The moment he walked out of the door of the Ordinance Division, Lin Jue truly realized that he had been swept out of the house by Fang Dunru. Lin Jue didn't have much nostalgia for the official position of the Ordinance Division, and he didn't care about the matter that was about to spread throughout the city. In fact, what he can't stand the most is emotional damage.

Lin Jue really came to see Fang Dunru in front of his father, but this father suddenly kicked himself away, and he really thought about him so much, so he made so many actions that made Fang Dunru dissatisfied. The feeling to Lin Jue is that all the emotional efforts have been put into flowing water, and his sincerity has been abandoned by Fang Dunru as a shoe, and the frustration brought by it is extremely strong.

Lin Jue admitted that what he had done was a little overdone and a little self-righteous. But Lin Jue knew that what he was doing was right, so he did it. Lin Jue also thought that Fang Dunru had said several times that he would expel himself from the wall, but it was just to scare himself into submission, which was a kind of father's behavior of discipline over his naughty son, and he would not really do it, it turned out that he was wrong, Fang Dunru was more ruthless than he imagined.

Lin Jue's heart was not a taste, there was unwillingness, and anger, but all these emotions were actually mixed with a hint of relief. He didn't want to participate in this law change, but he was dragged in by Yan Zhengsu and Fang Dunru. But Lin Jue's character is that once he gets involved, he will take it seriously. However, now in the middle of the matter, not only was he kicked out of the door wall, but also out of the Ordinance Department. Then, there is no reason and obligation to participate in it. Everything has nothing to do with me, I can see it out of my eyes and not be upset. This sense of relief comes from this.

However, Lin Jue understands that he can really let go of it all and be free? I'm afraid it still can't be done. Lin Jue doesn't care about the success or failure of the change, but the success or failure of the change is related to the fate of Mr. Fang and Yan Zhengsu, and it is related to the fate of his mother and sister. To a certain extent, Lin Jue's stubbornness stems from his concern for the fate of his family after the failure of the law change. That's what he really cares about.

Lin Jue didn't know what to do, his mind was chaotic, his heart was empty, and his body was unspeakably uncomfortable. In a daze, Lin Jue fell asleep. In the evening, when Lin woke up, he felt lightheaded, his nose was stuffy and his throat hurt, and his body was on fire. He barely walked a few steps when he got up and suddenly fell to the ground and fell unconscious.

Lin Jue really fell ill. Despite his carefree and careless performance, this heavy blow still knocked him down.

……

The night of early February was still cold as ice, and the north wind was whistling, whistling the bare branches.

In the courtyard of the Fang family's house in Yulin Lane, in the cold room, under the dim candle flame, the three members of the Fang family were sitting in the house like clay sculptures and wood carvings without saying a word. The food on the table was already cold, and halfway through the meal, he was interrupted by what Fang Dunru said, and from then on, the three members of the Fang family sat in place without saying a word.

Fang Dunru looked at the jumping candle flame with a gloomy face, his face full of frustration. Mrs. Fang looked at Fang Dunru's face hatefully, her eyes full of disappointment. Fang Huanqiu, who was sitting next to Mrs. Fang, was full of tears and looked desperate. Constant low sobbing. The three of them sat like this, and for a long time they sat with a stick of incense, and no one spoke.

"Your heart is really too ruthless, you just drove Lin Jue out of the door wall like this? That kid can't stand you? Can't you give him a chance? You have expelled him from the door wall and driven him out of the yamen, how will you let him gain a foothold in the future? Mrs. Fang finally spoke, and her tone was very dissatisfied.

Fang Dunru frowned and said in a deep voice, "Are you willing to do this?" If he hadn't been so disruptive, how could I have done that? Once upon a time, I expected so much from him, I thought he would inherit my mantle, but who would have thought that he would let me down so much that this time I could no longer forgive him. ”

"Your heart is as hard as iron and as cold as ice. I don't know why your master and apprentice turned their faces, I only know that Lin Jue respects and takes care of us, and he doesn't have the slightest affection for us. You only say that he did something wrong, but you ask yourself, what have you done for him? Did you, the teacher, pave the way for him as a student? You weren't in Hangzhou when he took the autumn exam the year before last, and you knew that his autumn was coming, so you were in a hurry to come to the capital. Are you a competent teacher? Not to mention that you and Lord Yan have to check on their Lin family, and their Lin family is almost destroyed. When he conferred the official, it was obviously unfair, did you, the teacher, help him say a word? You only know to ask him to do what you want, but what do you give him? What do you make Lin Jue think? ”

Mrs. Fang counted down like a cannonball, and since she had started, she was no longer polite in her words, and vented all the resentment in her heart.

Fang Dunru obviously couldn't stand it anymore, frowned and shouted, "Women's family, what do you know?" I have my own rules, and you don't know it. ”

Mrs. Fang sneered: "What bullshit rules, don't prevaricate with these words." You're just doing it for yourself. I'm a woman, so I naturally don't understand any big truths. But I know that being a human being always has to be humane, not just caring about yourself. If this is the case, sooner or later everyone will betray their relatives and leave. ”

"Shut up!" Fang Dunru shouted angrily: "What do you know? I am now entrusted by the emperor and shoulder the heavy responsibility of changing the law and trying to become stronger. My words and deeds are in the eyes of everyone, and I must be upright and not show favoritism. Moreover, the matter of changing the law is related to the safety of the society, which is a big matter, how can we care about these small things? He is against me in such matters, and I cannot tolerate him. This is a matter of great right and wrong, not child's play. How is it, you woman, that you do not know what is important? ”

Mrs. Fang sneered, "Oh, it's amazing. Why didn't you say I didn't know what was important when you were teaching at Matsuyama Academy? Now that he is back as an official, he is angry. What kind of change is strong, my woman doesn't understand. I only know that no matter how much I change, some things can't change. Monarchs and ministers, fathers and sons, benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and faith cannot be changed. If the purpose of changing the law is to make people impersonal, then what is the use of this change? ”

"Ridiculous, ridiculous, there's nothing to say to you. I'm already distraught, and you're still angry with me. I stopped eating, I went back to my room and slept. Fang Dunru got up and left.

Mrs. Fang shouted, "You know that you are at a loss. Anyway, let me tell you, you expelled Lin Jue from the school, but I still treat him as a member of the family. I'm still his wife. I'm not as ruthless as you are. Tomorrow Huanqiu and I will go to see him. You don't want him, we want him. ”

Fang Dunru shouted angrily: "Don't go." ”

Mrs. Fang sneered: "You see if I dare, I want to see how powerful your Lord Fang is." Do you think that our mother and son are also hindering you in any big matter of changing the law and trying to become stronger, you can sweep our mother and son out of the house, just like you did to Lin Jue. ”

Fang Dunru gritted his teeth and shouted angrily: "You ......"

Mrs. Fang was not afraid, frowned and raised her head to look at her, not letting in the slightest. Fang Dunru shook his head and sighed, "Unreasonable. With that, he stomped his feet and brushed his sleeves away.

……

The sun is scorching, and there is an endless desert as far as the eye can see. Lin Jue's mouth was dry under the sun, and his skin was hot and stinging. His thirsty mouth seemed to burst into flames, and his body felt as heavy as lead. It hurts like it's going to explode.

Lin Jue just walked and walked in the boundless desert. It seems like there's never an end. Witnessing the bones of the fallen corpses on the side of the sand dunes, Lin Jue felt as if he would never be able to walk in this desert. He couldn't remember how he got into the desert, or why he was walking there. He only knew that he was going to go out and go to a place full of green trees, cool water, and prosperity. But it seems that it will never arrive.

Finally, Lin Jue collapsed in the scorching sand dunes, his whole body tingled indescribably, his mouth was thirsty and speechless, and even his saliva was sticky like glue. The white sun stung his eyes, and he had to close them, and tiredness came like a tidal wave. He knew he couldn't sleep here, because he would never get up. But he didn't have the strength to open his eyes.

Just when his consciousness fell into a daze, a drop of cool and sweet liquid suddenly dripped into his mouth. This thing like a rain of rain immediately lifted Lin Jue's spirits, and he opened his mouth wide, letting the liquid like a rain flow into his mouth continuously. After the thing was swallowed, it seemed like a cool air flow all over the body, and then the pain in the body began to subside, the mouth dried up, the bursting headache began to disappear, and the body became comfortable. The next moment, consciousness was restored, and Lin Jue also opened his eyes in a burst of amazement.

As far as the eye can see, there are beautiful houses. A few pretty faces of concern shook in front of him, and he heard the cry of joy and tears of joy in his ears: "Childe is awake, Childe is awake...... Thank God. ”

"Wake up, oops, it's scared to death, finally wake up." This is Qianqian's voice.

"Bring me some water, and let him drink some water, his mouth is dry and peeling. By the way, don't break the cold cloth towel, soak it and dry it outside to apply it to him. This is Xie Yingying's calm voice.

Lin Jue let out a long breath, it turned out that it was a nightmare. It's scary to think about. If you wake up in the middle of the desert, it would be a terrible thing.

"Don't move! You've got acupuncture on you. Bai Bing's soft voice sounded in his ears, and a gentle palm covered Lin Jue's forehead, stopping him from getting up. Lin Jue lay down again, looking sideways, facing Bai Bing's concerned beautiful eyes.

Lin Jue looked up at his body slightly, and was suddenly startled. I saw silver flashing on my arms, chests and thighs, and dozens of silver needles were pierced.

"I ...... What's wrong with me? Lin Jue said weakly.

"Childe fainted, and he had a terrible fever. The whole body was burning and scared us to death. Fortunately, Bing'er will diagnose and treat, feed you pills, and give you acupuncture, and you will wake up. We were all frightened, and Childe had cramps, which scared me...... I thought it was ......" Green Dance said and burst into tears.

Lin Jue smiled and said, "Don't cry, I'm not dead." By the way, who fed me what just now? It's delicious, and my heart is on fire, and I feel comfortable all of a sudden. A few more sips would be fine. ”

Bai Bing chuckled and said, "That's snow lotus honey, the master gave me a bottle when he left that day, and I gave you all to drink." It's a very precious thing. Snow lotus is born on the snow mountain, and there is a kind of bee in Mobei that is not afraid of the cold and specializes in eating snow lotus to make honey. Snow lotus is already very rare, and this kind of bee is even rarer. My master has been collecting for decades, and he only gets a few drops of nectar every year, and only a few taels of honey after a few decades. This kind of honey is very good for people, and it detoxifies and detoxifies heat. Growing so big, I've only drunk it a few times. Seeing that you are burning fiercely, I have already poured ice water to feed you. If you want to drink, the next time you see my master and ask if there is anything else, it is estimated that it is gone, after all, it is too little. ”

Lin Jue was stunned and said, "Such a precious thing? Drunk it all by me? It's a terrible thing. I knew not to feed me. ”

Bai Bing said angrily: "It's important to save people, what is a thing?" ”

Qianqian shouted beside her: "Brother Lin, don't you know, Sister Bai Bing is amazing, I invited Lang Zhong to say that you burned too fiercely, saying that there was no way to cure it, so Sister Bai Bing took out a silver needle to prick the needle for you." It's amazing, and after you get pricked, you wake up. ”

Bai Bing smiled: "What's so amazing about this? It's the first time I've done this, my master taught me acupuncture, we live in Mobei all year round and are often attacked by wind and cold, and fever is a common thing. My master used acupuncture for treatment, which was very effective. I learned a little, but I never dared to do it. Today, I was also in a hurry and couldn't move my hand, and I was afraid that I would hurt my son. ”

Midori said, "Can you still stab a bad person?" ”

Bai Bing said: "Of course, acupuncture is actually a silver needle probing acupoint. Some of the acupuncture points of the human body are extremely dangerous, and the dead acupoints are injured and killed, and may also lead to paralysis, blindness, deafness and muteness and other dangers. That's why I'm so nervous. ”

Everyone was stunned and speechless, Lin Jue smiled bitterly and was speechless, it turned out that he had become Bai Bing's first acupuncture experiment. This girl's heart is really wide, isn't she afraid of stabbing herself to death? It's okay to be stabbed to death, but if you stick half of your body and fail to feces and urine incontinence, then it's better to die. I think it's because I'm too worried about my condition. Listening to their tones, they should have a high fever that does not go away, and they have cramps when they burn, which is really life-threatening, and it is easy to burn into an idiot. In an emergency, Bai Bing probably can't care about anything.

Looking at the faces and concerned expressions of the women around him, Lin Jue's tormented heart was much calmer. Although he was abandoned by his mentor, he was also loved by many people, and he should not be disappointed by them.
