The simple small pier outside the Jubao Gate is made of stone strips stacked along the riverbank. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoThere are bowl-sized wooden stakes on the shore, lined up in a row, which are used as cables to tie boats.

In the cold rain and snow, three small boats lined up side by side. Thick long planks were laid on the rocky shore. Fifty-six members of the Chen family are boarding the ship in turn. Six officials in official uniforms supervised, scolded, and drove away. From time to time, there were bursts of crying.

When Jia Huan, Xiao Youan, and He Yuanlong arrived, there were still about twenty or thirty people from the Chen family who had not boarded the boat, crowded on the shore, and hesitated. Who wants to leave the bustling ancient capital of the Six Dynasties and go to the remote province of Guangnan in Yunnan?

The three brothers Chen Zizhen took care of their families on the shore. At this time, Chen Zizhen took two steps and blocked Jia Huan and his party of four. said with a calm face: "Jia Huan, are you here to see my family's jokes?" ”

He recovered faster than his father and brothers. My father was still indulging in the pain of losing power, reviewing and pondering. The brothers are nostalgic for the glory and wealth that have passed away like flowing water. But man must first live.

Jia Huan looked at Chen Zizhen. In his forties, he wore a dark padded jacket and was very dirty. The hair fell loosely on the handsome, dusty face. He carried a few pounds of wooden shackles in his hands and iron shackles on his feet. An image of a prisoner.

It looks indifferent, pretends to be very free, but is actually very hard!

Jia Huan nodded and said calmly: "I'll see you off." "Beckoned Hu Xiaosi, who was carrying a food box, to come over and set up the dishes.

Xiao Youan stepped forward to chat with a few guards of the guards, and a few letters of silver quietly fell into the hands of the officials.

A black-faced official led by him weighed the silver in his sleeve, with a smile on his face, walked up to Chen Zizhen and opened his wooden shackle, "Chen Gongzi is so fateful." He smiled and said to Jia Huan: "Master Jia is really righteous. ”

Lifting people, also known as filial piety. In the folk, he is usually called "master", which is the same as Xiucai being called "Xianggong", which shows the status of a scholar. The black-faced servant was in the public house, and he had heard rumors that the Chen family and Master Jia did not deal with each other. I didn't expect Master Jia to come to see him off.

Jia Huan nodded to the black-faced servant, stretched out his hand to make a gesture, and invited Chen Zizhen to sit down at the table set up by Hu Xiaosi.

On a simple small square table, four small dishes are arranged:. Wind-pickled civets, rouge goose breasts, chicken pith shoots, green vegetables and vegetables. Very typical Jiangnan cuisine. The aroma of vegetables and wine wafts in the rain and snow.

Chen Zizhi and Chen Zize, who were not far away, swallowed their saliva with great effort. The dishes that could be eaten at any time that day are really delicious in the world when I look back on them. Chen Zize sighed: "I didn't expect that it would be Jia Huan who came to see us off." ”

Chen Zizhen sat at the table and chair. Before he picked up the chopsticks, He Yuanlong, who was standing beside Jia Huan, suddenly spoke: "Chen Zizhen, you have to remember me." I am the confidant of the late Lin Yushi, He Yuanlong. ”

Chen Zizhen looked at He Yuanlong in astonishment, a middle-aged man in his forties, dressed as a master. Of course he knew what that meant. What the Zheng family wanted to kill was actually Lin Ruhai's daughter Lin Daiyu. just hit the deputy car by mistake and shot Lin Ruhai's concubine.

When He Yuanlong said this, he left Chen Zizhen, who was confused, turned around and walked towards the officials, and after a while, several people walked to the willow tree on the riverbank. I can't hear what they're talking about.

Hu Xiaosi held up an oil-paper umbrella to cover Jia Huan from the rain and snow. A light rain falls on steaming dishes. Soon, the dishes become cold.

Jia Huan poured himself a glass of wine, raised his glass, and said, "Chen Zizhen, go to Yunnan here, go all the way." ”

Sounds like a good blessing. But those who know Jia Huan's character understand how cold this sentence is!

The severed head meal is nothing more than that.

Chen Zizhen poured himself wine and drank it in one gulp. A small glass, but some wine came up, stared at Jia Huan, and said, "You don't follow the rules." Jia Huan, you don't pay attention to the rules. Hey, I knew that your sister was so favored in the palace, who would dare to mess with you? Why didn't you say it earlier? ”

Speaking of the last sentence, Chen Zizhen yelled at Jia Huan. Anger, remorse, grief, and wine poured out from my heart.

If it weren't for Jia Huan, his father would be friendly with Scholar Xie, even if Wei Hong's disaster relief was successful, his father would not be much more than a scholar at most. The Chen family is still the same. How did you end up in such a situation? He's making jokes to his enemies right now!

Jia Huan looked at Chen Zizhen coldly. Immature!

Jia Huan did not refute, nor did he scold Chen Zizhen. There's no need for it. Instead, he whispered something else, "Have you read the Water Margin?" ”

Chen Zizhen was stunned for a moment, then nodded. He didn't know what Jia Huan was going to say. The Water Margin was written in the Ming Dynasty and was widely circulated in the market, and was as famous as "Journey to the West", "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and "Golden Vase Plum". Of course he did.

Jia Huan said slowly: "In the eighth round, Lin Jiao's head thorn matched Cangzhou Road, and Lu Zhishen made a big fuss about the wild boar forest. Chen Zizhen, go all the way! ”

A faint coolness rose from Chen Zizhen's back. Chen Zizhen looked at Jia Huan in horror, and a cold sweat burst out. He now understands what Jia Huan means by "going all the way": on the Huangquan Road, go all the way!

Chen Zizhen stood up, pointed at Jia Huan angrily and scolded: "Jia Huan, you are so despicable. ”

In the Water Margin, the location of the wild boar forest was tied up by the officials who escorted Lin Chong to kill him, which happened to be saved by Lu Zhishen. This situation is very similar to his situation at this time. When you go to Yunnan, there are a lot of places similar to wild boar forests, right? However, will there be "Lu Zhishen" to save him?

The answer is not to ask.

What kind of is this? Hu Xiaosi stepped forward angrily, opened Chen Zizhen's hand, overturned the wine and food with one hand, stepped forward and kicked Chen Zizhen to the ground hard, and said angrily: "Dog--day!" Have you mean? You pig and dog are inferior to something. actually shot Aunt Pei and Grandma Pei with a fire gun, do you know how painful she was before she died? You brutes should be beaten half to death one by one with a firecracker. Open a few holes and give you a taste of what it tastes like. ”

As he spoke, tears of pain flowed down the face of the eighteen-nineteen-year-old man. He remembered the suffering, the fright, the blood that flowed that day.

Chen Zizhen sat on the ground, a little confused by Hu Xiaosi's outburst. He just beat a slave and a subordinate?

Jia Huan stood. Snowflakes fell on his hair, and he looked at Chen Zizhen sitting on the rain and snow in silence. This suppressed silence, the howling cold wind, and the long-term reaction can show what kind of emotions are hidden in his heart!

Hu Xiaosi only kicked Chen Zizhen a few times, and then came back to hold an umbrella for Jia Huan. Xiao You'an, He Yuanlong, and the six officials watched from afar. Everyone in the Chen family began to cry in fright. Chen Zizhi and Chen Zize didn't understand what was going on, so they walked slowly with leg shackles.

Jia Huan had no interest in beating the three Chen family brothers, pursed his lips, and said the last sentence of this "send-off" to Chen Zizhen, "Kill people, I will too!" ”

The voice is soft. Will is like iron.

With that, Jia Huan turned around and left with He Yuanlong and Xiao Youan, who were accompanying him, and walked towards the city gate cave. The emotions of gloom and happiness are mixed in my heart, flying and falling in this rain and snow.

Shaohua has passed away, and the sad song of the young man is difficult to stay. The bird still knows that it is like a hate, and it is expected that it will cry tears and blood. The snow knows that people are far away, and the silver comes to illuminate the dusk.

…

…

Looking at the distant backs of Jia Huan and his party in the rain and snow, Chen Zizhen felt the fear of death in his heart, the chill and trembling from his soul. The heart is like ashes.

Chen Zizhi and Chen Zize walked up to Chen Zizhen and asked, "Big brother?" ”

Chen Zi really wanted to laugh, but it didn't work. A bubble of urine suddenly incontinent, riotous. Slumped on the ground. He's going to die.

…

…

On 4 November, Chen Gaolang and Chen Zizhen's family, totaling 56 people, were escorted to Guangnan Prefecture in Yunnan Province.

When Jia Huan "saw him off", He Yuanlong helped him arrange it. Negotiating related matters with the officials in code, Master He is proficient. Wild Boar Forest, is a great place!

On November 7, Jia Huan arrived in Suzhou with Daiyu, Qingwen, Ruyi, Zijuan, and Raider. In the afternoon of the same day, on the ancestral tomb mountain of the Lin family, Lin Ruhai, Jia Min, and Aunt Pei were sacrificed.

Yuan Bo and others, who transported Aunt Pei to Suzhou for burial, were waiting in Suzhou, and at this time they joined Jia Huan and Daiyu.

The ancestral tomb of the Lin family is located three miles outside the city of Suzhou. The mountains are undulating, and the pines and cypresses are evergreen. When the winter mood is awe-inspiring, the mountains are dry and yellow, and the mountain roads are frozen and suitable for travel.

Lin Ruhai's cemetery is halfway up the mountain. Lin Ruhai and Jia Min were buried together. A small mound next to it is Aunt Pei's new tomb. She had only recently been buried.

Yuan Bo, Qian Huai, Hu Xiaosi and others put fruit plates and offerings. Zijuan carefully put a brown cloak on Daiyu and retreated to the back to stand with a few maids. Daiyu stepped forward and knelt in front of her parents' graves to offer incense. Cigarette paper cigarette ash curls. The sound of firecrackers rang out around the grave.

In this firecracker sound of sacrifice, sorrow, and longing, Jia Huan knelt and lit three sticks of incense for Aunt Pei, and said softly: "Auntie, blood feud, justice, I have already got it back for you." For thou art rested in the spirit of heaven. Since then, there has been no harm. ”

After finishing speaking, Jia Huan couldn't help but burst into tears for the second time. The first time was when Aunt Pei died in front of him.

The cold wind hit, and the emotions in Jia Huan's heart were difficult to calm down. It was only at this moment that the emotions that had been suppressed for months were truly released. The "burden" that really made him feel that his heart was lifted and empty.

Qingwen, Ruyi, Zijuan, Raider, Mo'er, Snow Goose, Yuanbo, Qian Huai, Hu Xiaosi and others stood two meters away. or weeping in a low voice, or with a sad face. Aunt Pei's maid Mo'er cried the saddest.

The dead are long gone, and the living are fed for themselves.

…

…

The time of the sacrifice is very long. In addition to killing all the murderers and masterminds behind the scenes, to comfort Aunt Pei's spirit in the sky, this is the last time Jia Huan brought Daiyu to Suzhou to worship Lin Ruhai and Jia Min.

It's already early November. After returning to Jinling, Jia Huan took a short rest and was about to return to the capital with Daiyu. The spring competition of the thirteenth year of Yongzhi will be held in February.

When I came again, I don't know when or who came with Daiyu.

Jia Huan waited for Daiyu to worship her parents, gave Lin Ruhai incense, and prayed: "Uncle Lin, please rest assured, I will definitely not put Sister Lin in any danger again." Only once. There will be no next time. I will take care of her for the rest of my life. ”

Jia Huan kowtowed and got up. looked at the tombstone of Lin Ruhai and his wife, and was silent for a long time. This is a promise he made. (To be continued.) )
