Chapter 894: Self-defeating?
"Where is the brute, where is the brute now?" Without waiting for the doctor to come, Mrs. Chu had already woken up and said in a trembling voice.
The subordinate replied tremblingly: "The people over there said that they did not reveal the identity of the son, and they should send the son home soon." ”
As soon as the words fell, someone reported that Lord Zeng and Master Cui came to visit together.
In the distance, several figures walked over, and in the front were two middle-aged men, following behind the two, limping to this side, it was Chu Ping.
"Master Taifu......"
"Get on your knees!"
As soon as Cui Qingming spoke, he was startled by the angry Taifu, and swallowed the words he wanted to say.
Poof.
Chu Ping was expressionless and knelt straight on the bluestone slab.
"Brute, why did our Chu family have such a brute as you!" Mrs. Chu's expression was a little hideous, she picked up her crutches, slapped Chu Ping's shoulder fiercely, and said angrily: "The old man will kill you today, and it will save me the shame of the ancestors of the Chu family!" ”
Chu Ping's body shook, but he didn't dodge, a sneer appeared on his face, and said: "Then you can kill me, anyway, I am also a waste, it will damage the name of the Chu family, it is better to die, it is a hundred years to die......"
Mrs. Chu froze in place, looking at the grandson in front of him who he had brought up since childhood, but found that after only a few months, he didn't know him anymore.
He raised his crutches, but he didn't fall for a long time, and muttered: "My Chu family has been famous for a hundred years, and it has been famous for a hundred years......"
"A hundred years of clearing...... a miserable smile appeared on Chu Ping's face, and said: "Yes, a hundred years of clearing, as long as you kill me, the Chu family is still the Chu family, and the Chu family, which is praised by everyone, will not ......lose its name in a hundred years."
He stuck his head out and smiled, "Come on, grandpa, I'm ready." ”
Mrs. Chu looked at him, his body trembled, and the crutches in his hand couldn't fall down.
"Ping'er ......"
He put down his crutches, leaned over, and put his face on his face with his thin hands, his old eyes were full of tears, and said in a trembling voice: "Ping'er, how did you become like this......"
Chu Ping didn't answer, and after a trace of pain appeared on his face, he closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, his eyes lost emotion again.
He got up from the ground, didn't look at Mrs. Chu again, and limped inside.
The middle-aged man behind Mrs. Chu stepped forward, looked at Zeng Shichun, and asked anxiously, "Lord Zeng, this, what the hell is going on?" ”
Zeng Shichun shook his head and said: "The government got the news today that many cases of missing women in recent days were committed by the Peng family in Ping'an County, who kidnapped these women and forced them to become prostitutes, in order to satisfy some of the perverted hobbies of some guests. ”
The middle-aged man was a little incredulous, and muttered: "This is impossible, this is impossible, didn't Ping'er go to visit Sun Daru, didn't he go to ask Sun Daru for advice, how could he be, how could he ......?"
"Brother Chu, young people will inevitably make mistakes...... Cui Qingming waved his hand and said: "It is His Royal Highness the King of Shu, not because of a little mistake by young people, he was temporarily expelled from Kyoto by His Majesty, Chu Pingxian's nephew is still young, although he has followed Lord Taifu through thousands of mountains and rivers, but he has really experienced too few things, and he is easily tempted by foreign objects. ”
The middle-aged man sighed and said, "I have to ask Brother Cui a lot for this matter." ”
Cui Qingming smiled and said: "Brother Chu, don't worry, no one knows that Chu Ping is also involved in this incident, as for other obstacles, Lord Zeng will also help sweep away, just like last time......"
"Thank you, Brother Cui." The middle-aged man spoke, then turned his head, looked at Mrs. Chu and said, "Father, I'll go see Ping'er." ”
After seeing the middle-aged man leave, Cui Qingming took a step forward and said, "Master Taifu, Chu Ping is still young, it is inevitable to make mistakes, don't be angry......"
Bang!
Cui Qingming covered his head, blood flowed down his forehead, he looked at Mrs. Chu in a daze, and said in disbelief: "Master Taifu, you ......"
"Cui Qingming!" Mrs. Chu's eyes were bloodshot, and he pointed at him with a cane and said, "The old man's eyes can't see clearly, do you think the old man's heart is also blind!" ”
Cui Qingming covered his head, looked at Mrs. Chu, for a long time, the shock on his face disappeared, and he said calmly: "What is Lord Taifu saying, why can't the younger generation understand?" ”
Mrs. Chu threw his crutches on the ground, glanced at him with a cold gaze, and said coldly: "Get out!" ”
……
"It seems to be self-defeating."
When the two walked out of Chu's house, Zeng Shichun looked at Cui Qingming and whispered.
"How can this be considered self-defeating?" The wound on Cui Qingming's head is no longer bleeding, but there are still a lot of blood stains on his face, and when he smiles, he looks quite hideous and terrifying.
Zeng Shichun shook his head and asked, "Looking at the way I looked just now, Taifu is afraid that he already knows that you are pushing behind these things, will he help the Cui family and His Royal Highness the King of Shu again?" ”
"He's not helping the Cui family, nor is he helping His Royal Highness the King of Shu." Cui Qingming wiped the blood on his head and said, "He is helping their Chu family." ”
Zeng Shichun looked at him and said, "Hand over Chu Ping, the Chu family is still the Chu family." ”
Cui Qingming shook his head and said: "Before today, hand over Chu Ping, the Chu family is still the Chu family, after today, the Chu family's century-old name is tied to our hands, as for how to choose, Master Taifu is a smart person, he knows what to do." ”
……
"Father, what should we do?"
In the dark lobby, the person in charge of Chu Jiaming's face walked in, saw the figure in the deepest part of the darkness, and slowly spoke.
After a long time, a hoarse voice came from the darkness: "How is Ping'er?" ”
"I'm asleep." The middle-aged man replied.
No sound came from the darkness.
"The old man was wrong, he was wrong from the beginning...... "After a long time, a sighing voice came from the darkness, and the old man muttered: "I didn't expect the Cui family to be so vicious, it was a living human life, a living human being......"
The middle-aged man looked at him in a daze, with an incredulous expression on his face, "Father means ......"
"They have ruined Ping'er, and now they are going to destroy our Chu family......"
The old man slowly turned his head, looked at the spirit cards of the ancestors of the Chu family in the dark, and muttered: "They are going to ruin the reputation that our Chu family's ancestors have accumulated for generations......
The middle-aged man's body trembled, and he said anxiously: "Father, by all means, this must not be, the Chu family's name has been cleared for a hundred years, and it must not be destroyed in our hands!" ”
He gritted his teeth and said with difficulty: "If it really can't work, just hand over Ping'er!" ”
Mrs. Chu shook his head and said, "After they sent Ping'er back twice, this is no longer Ping'er's problem. ”
The middle-aged man took a few steps back and muttered, "Could it be that my Chu family ......?"
Mrs. Chu lit the candles in the house, tidied up his clothes, and said, "Get ready, in a few days, I want to meet a few old friends......"
