The Governor is Sick

"Manchu culture and military, no one is innocent, no one is innocent ..." Dai Shengyan grinned absurdly, "Well said! How can this world, this chapel, come to such an end? The emperor Taizu is in the spirit of heaven, and he is distressed!"

"Master Dai!" Zhu Qing in the seat all faced.

Dai Shengyan waved his hand, motioned everyone not to speak, and continued: "However, there are national laws and regulations, and there are rules. The trial will be conducted today, and the trial will be by Shen Ye. To try others, the Dali Temple must be re-invited by the emperor to be heard, and then tried . "

"If Dali Temple didn't mention it, wouldn't it be judged!" Xia Houyi asked.

"No," Dai Shengyan said with a solemn look, "Dali Temple will not ask for a day, the old man will not leave Beijing. One day the old man impeached Weide, and the old man today impeached the guilty princes. So Shen Changchen, the old man must also be tried ! "

As soon as Dai Shengyan said this, there was a full house, everyone looked pale and looked at each other, speechless. Even the Dali Temple Minister, with a blank face, asked Dai Shengyan: "Sir, will he fight the entire court with one man?"

Dai Shengyan smiled indifferently: "I am old. What a pity man, death!"

The house was silent, and the crows and birds were silent.

No one expected that Dai Shengyan would be interrogated by Shen Shengyan. Full of dignitaries staring at the withered old man, he sat in the hall like a stubborn old pine, standing proudly and fearlessly.

Xia Hou stared at the patterned bricks in front of him, his fists tightened, and his teeth were rattling. Is there no way? Is it really going to be tried? How can this be? how can?

In the silence, there was a deep voice behind him, light as a feather, "Ama, come back down."

Back off? How can he retreat?

Xiahou suddenly stood up and looked at Dai Shengyan on the church, saying: "Master Dai!"

"Shut up!" Shen Min screamed, "Stop me!"

Xia Houxi smiled bitterly and said, "Master, there are some things that you have to face sooner or later, don't you?"

Shen Yan froze, closed his eyes hard, and stopped talking.

Xia Houyi continued: "Master Dai, did you say something wrong. Article 24 does not have nothing to do with the supervisor of my house."

Dai Shengyan frowned slightly and said, "What does this mean?"

Someone whispered below: "Is this man crazy? What happened to Xie's tragedy, what is it with Shen Ye? Twelve years ago, Shen Ye was twelve years old!"

"Yeah, when he just entered the palace at that time, Weid didn't know him yet!" Someone replied, "Is this kid helping or hurting?"

The word "twelve years old" broke out from the whispers and pierced into Dai Shengyan's ears. He was shocked and asked, "What's the age?

"Master," Xia Houyi's voice was slow and clear. "Supervisor, the third son of Xie family, Xie Jinglan."

As if a thunder fell from his head, Dai Shengyan was shocked, and slowly looked at Shen Chen who was standing beside Xia Houyi.

In the midst of the autumn wind, the youth stood under the hall, with a waist belt and a shoulder embroidered Teng python. The whole body was brightly embroidered, but he could not hide the frost and snow between his eyebrows, and his eyes were sad. Yes, how can there be two people so similar under the sky? In memory, the stubborn and lonely young man overlaped with the youth. It turned out that his talented little apprentice did not die. He escaped from the dead and became the imprint of Daqi's mighty Silijian. .

He shivered and stood up, panting gaspingly: "You ... you ..."

The whole house was startled, and after a while, there was an uproar.

"How is that possible! How is this possible!" Everyone glared with an expression of incredible expression.

Shen Yan watched the old man move down from the hall step by step, and walked to him, he saw the wrinkles crisscrossing the old man's face, like a gully, with white hair under the net towel, a few silver wires hanging down, Under almost transparent. The old man stood in front of him, looking at his face inch by inch, as if to find the shadow of the past from it. The desolate gaze, like an invisible arrow, pierced his heart.

After hiding for so many years, he still couldn't escape. He felt that he was a ghost who had entered the Netherworld, afraid of light and people, but one day he would still return to the earth, evaporating in the light of the sky and the deceased, disappearing without a trace.

Now, this moment has finally come, as if destined.

Shen Yan lowered his eyes, his voice mute as if rubbing countless sands, "No thanks Xie Lan, Master Dai, your disciple is dead. I am Shen Yan, the criminal you are trying."

"Master!" Xia Houxi shouted.

Dai Shengyan lowered his head and looked at Xiahou Yan, who was kneeling on the ground, and trembled, "How about you, who are you?"

"Xia Houyi, sir, this is Xia Houyi!" He turned around and worshiped at the foot of Dai Shengyan. "Twelve years ago, Wei De bought the Kalan Assassin and destroyed Xie's door. The governor escaped from his death, and was alone, raising his eyes Without relatives, I went north from Nanjing and almost starved to the streets. In the past, Wei De was in power and covered the sky with only one hand. Even you, a great Confucianist, countless students, force twenty-four, beat the sky, beat the drum, but ca n’t Want him to live! How can this monstrous blood debt be claimed in addition to recognizing the thief as a father? "

Dai Shengyan trembled, his old tears crisscrossed, and he held up his heavy arm with both hands, and hated, "Why don't you come to me! At least, I can give you a place to rest! Amazing!"

"Gallan Assassin looks at you, and the Governor's refuge in you is to bring you the scourge of killing you! Sir, you are just a Confucian student with no chickens at your fingertips. How can you resist the assassin from hunting for thousands of miles!" Weeping blood, "Sir, forward is death, backward is death. Only by falling into the abyss can you survive. If you are, how do you choose! Xia Hou dare to ask, Sir, there is nothing in the world that is pure and innocent, Ann is extremely righteous and not evil! Is it right to die if it is not good or right? "

All seats were silent.

No one would have thought that the wicked and cunning East Factory Governor was from Qingliu family. No one even thought that he was carrying such **** hatred. Many of the officials in this seat had been with the officials in the same dynasty as Xie Bingfeng, had eaten the noodles together, had eaten Yuling together, had enough wine and rice, and had once called each other a brother. When it comes to seniority, Shen Yan calls them an uncle.

In the silence, Shen Xingpao knelt down slowly, unbuttoned the submandibular group, took off the golden hat and put it on the ground, and fell deeply. He said nothing, only kneeling quietly, the shadow between his elbows covering his face, no one could see his expression. Just for no reason, everyone felt the heavy sadness of iron on his shoulders, like Frost Hua fell all over his head, sorrow and pity.

Dai Shengyan was embarrassed, lowered his eyelashes, and cried, "I asked myself that I had never made any serious mistakes, but I was ashamed of one person. I had promised him peace, promised to protect him, but still let him face it alone Disastrous. Step by step, step by step, walk on the street, enter the palace as a concubine, recognize the thief as the father ... Is it wrong of him to go astray !? What qualifications do I have to try him? "

Dai Shengyan looked down at the backs of the two youths, who were deeply in the dust and motionless. Dai Shengyan smiled bitterly, turned around and walked a few steps, holding on to the edge of the case, as if he was ten years old. He was old enough already, but now everyone suddenly felt that he was not only old, but also dying, and his thin back was drowsing deeper and deeper, and finally slipped along the leg of the case.

"Master Dai!" Everyone exclaimed.

Jin Yiwei rushed to hug the old man, and the Taiyi doctor prepared for Xu Ruoyu stepped forward to diagnose the old man's pulse. Time was chaotic at noon in front of the gate. Shen Yan wanted to step forward to see Dai Shengyan, but the crowd blocked him and the dying old man. The crowd was like the mountains and rivers that he had come out of these years, and finally he and the old man were alone, and it was hard to get closer. .

Jin Yiwei sent Dai Shengyan to the carriage and returned to Dai Xiaoyan's small house rented in Beijing. It was a cold alley with a single door and a single door. The faded blessing paper was pasted on the lintel, and there were two broken spring couplets on the stilts on both sides. The courtyard outside the courtyard was full of officials who followed, all waiting for the news of the doctor who was in the hospital.

Shen Yan stood in the corridor, waiting silently. No one came to talk to him, a clearing was cleared around him, everyone was far away from him, pretending not to see him. In fact, they are no different, but it seems that as long as they don't stand with Shen Zhen, they are still gentlemen of Qingliu, and they still stand tall and can stand under the sky.

"Master ..." Xia Houxi whispered behind him.

He didn't respond. He felt tired and speechless. He was actually a little thirsty, and his legs were a little painful, but he didn't want to care, and just stood like this, as if his body had been abused, he felt better.

The doctor came out and brought good news, saying that Mr. is okay, but he is tired and needs to be recuperated. The people gradually dispersed, and the yard soon drew down. Only Shen Zhen and Xia Houzhen remained under the corridor, hiding in the shadows, like two silent ghosts.

There was a shelf of grapes in the open space. The vines were withered, and a few scattered bunches of dried vines were wrapped around the shack. Many flowerpots were placed against the wall, all of which were wild flowers. Some are still on, some are withered, and they look shy in the dim sky.

I don't know how long he stood there. A boy came out from the inside. It looked like he was fourteen or fifteen years old. After seeing Shen Zhe and Xia Hou Zhe under the gallery, he froze a little, and asked, "Have you gone yet?"

He didn't know Shen Min's identity, and he looked at Shen Min a few moments before he suddenly opened his eyes and said, "You son, you look a little familiar."

Shen Yan raised his eyes to see him.

The little boy entered the room again, and when he came out again, he took out a picture. Shen Min took it to see that the paper was yellow. A boy was drawn with a thin pen, with a clear eyebrow and a coarse cotton coat, reading a book under the lamp.

Xie Jinglan.

"Look, doesn't it look like you?" The boy took the painting back. "Don't tell sir I'll show it to you secretly. This is an image used to worship Brother Jinglan. I'm holding him everywhere, but baby Now. "

Shen Yan's throat was astringent, and he asked, "How sir is better?"

"It's better, but it's still lying." The boy scratched his head and sighed, "Mr. hasn't been very well, not for the first time. He's all blamed for those people, but he should call him from his hometown! At the age, the boat rides hard along the way, where can it stand! "

"Can I go in and see sir?" Shen Yan whispered to him.

"But Mr. is still asleep ..." The boy stared at Shen Yan for a while, suddenly understood something, was taken aback, said nothing, turned and ran back to the room, came out after a while, and stood by the door. Yaoyao shouted to Shen Yun and Xia Houzhen, "Sir asked you to go in!"

Shen Yan took a deep breath and walked step by step, entering the threshold. Xia Houyi followed him in silence, staying in step.

This is the hall, with doors on both sides leading to the cabin. The room was empty, with nothing but tables and chairs. A hook was nailed to the front wall, and an incense burner and a plate of fruits were placed on the yellow wooden table below. The only portrait of Xie Jinglan was taken from about there.

Dai Shengyan was dressed up and sat on top.

Shen Ye and Xia Houyi knelt down and bowed their heads to the ground.

"Well, everyone is gone. Only three of us are teachers and apprentices." Dai Shengyan sighed slowly, and said quietly, "Small sister, don't talk for a while."

Xia Hou clenched his fists and whispered, "Yes."

"Xie Jinglan!" Dai Shengyan drank suddenly, word by word, "You say Xie Jinglan is dead. Who is kneeling here now? Isn't it you that you change your name!"

Shen Yan was shocked, and closed his eyes.

"I ask you," Dai Shengyan sternly said. "In the twenty-ninth year of the Qianyuan Dynasty, Wei Degou trapped Master Shangda Jiang, a ritual minister, and was exiled for two thousand miles. Governor of the East Factory, but Wei De ordered you to send the East Factory to do it? "

Shen Yan gritted his teeth and said, "Yes!"

"In the thirty years of Qianyuan, Master Zhou Cun was imprisoned in prison during the incident, and his pipa bones were worn. When he was released from prison, he was no longer human. Is it your hand !?"

"Yes!"

"In June of the same year, in order to divulge personal indignation, Wei De determined to kill the emperor loyal king Quan Yu Nanyuan. Is it yours?"

"Yes!"

"Above, when Weid ordered the killing, have you ever asked for a love for them? Have you said a word?"

Shen Ying's fingertips were blue on the ground. He took a deep breath and replied, "Never!"

Dai Shengyan watched Shen Ye on the ground and slowly asked the last question, "I walked in Mentougou that day, and Wei Te gathered the gangsters to hit me. Suddenly, a group of righteous men and women came to the rescue, I asked their names, but they all said nothing. Saying, sneaking away. They, but the one you sent? "

The room was silent, and the boy outside looked blankly at the three people in the room. In silence, he heard the young voice on the ground:

"Yes."

Dai Shengyan closed his eyes, and a drop of muddy tears flowed down from the eyelids, which reflected the cold light, which was bright.

He sighed and said, "In the past years at Wangqing Pavilion, when I accepted you as an apprentice, I once told you how difficult the world is, and that your heart is good and good, because you are alone in your life and trampled by others. Wrong way, never return. Your father is confused, uncle, and you are struggling in Xiefu. I pity you for being lonely and want to take you away, but unfortunately, I have n’t done it. I made a statement on the day, you have perseverance, He was too hard-hearted to be a good man, and he would be a big rape. He didn't expect that the phrase would become a trance! "He lowered his head, staring at Shen Chen on the ground, Shen said," Xie Jinglan, just before the noon door, all Xiao Yan helps you. Now, I want to listen to yourself, why do you do this? "

"In order to take hold of my own life!" Shen Yan's words seemed to be engraved into the bone marrow. "Ms. Xiao, but the master of a government official, can kill my subordinates and force me into a dead end. Wei Germany, but an emperor's house slave, can destroy Xiefu's door, no one can compete with him! Sir, kindness cannot save me, loyalty and filial piety cannot protect me, and only with a sword in hand and only power in hand can revenge So that I can hold my own life! "

"Xiao Yun, do you think so?" Dai Shengyan asked.

"Yes," Xiahou said, "I think so."

"So you are helping and abusing, and following the shock of the panic, you are embarrassed! I know you are loyal to the Lord, but you are foolish!" Dai Shengyan sighed deeply, "Children, you say you want to hold your life, but you Do you really hold it? It is your life to make friends with what you once hated, and to do what you have been ashamed of before. Is this your life to hold? Amazing, if this is your life, then the old man hopes that you are better than twelve He died in the scourge of the door years ago and never escaped! "

Shen Yan's heart was knocked hard, and it was painful.

He didn't speak. The outside wind came in through the hall and made him cold, and his head was lying in a mass of ice and snow, which was cold from the inside out. He has nothing to say, this is the path he chose, the life he chose, and all the blame and retribution must be borne by himself.

Dai Shengyan stood up slowly, struggling to step in front of Shen Yan, suddenly made a plop, and actually knelt down. The skinny shadow lay in front of Shen Wei, and he raised his head in astonishment to see the old man's bleak eyes.

Shen Yun was shocked: "Sir!"

Xia Houyi also looked up and was surprised.

"A few of my lessons are not Huanghuangtianyu, Jinkeyuru, nothing can be changed. Xiaoyu asked me before, is there any goodness in this world, is there any extreme righteousness, I ca n’t answer, I ca n’t answer! You child, this is the life Suffering, you go down this road, how can I blame you! "Dai Shengyan supported Shen's shoulders, and the young man's thin shoulders trembled slightly under his palm. He cried," But if you don't die, I'm sorry to die Innocent people in your and Wei De's hands! "Dai Shengyan took a breath and said in a deep voice," Today, there is only one way! Dai is cheeky, and I ask the factory to promise to wear something! "

Shen Yanshi said, "Sir, please."

Dai Shengyan took a deep breath, and his skinny cheeks were filled with words, saying: "As long as the factory is in office for one day, you can do your best to assist the young master, to clean up the Qing dynasty, and to return to Daqi Haiyan Heqing, the world Taiping! There is no limit to death, never die! "

He gritted his teeth every bit, every bit of bone, at that moment, as if the whole world, only his old voice echoed in circles. Shen Yan lifted his eyes and looked at him with difficulty. His face was so cold as the old pine on the cliff.

Shen Ye held Dai Shengyan's arm down, lowered his eyes, and smiled sadly, saying, "Okay."

"Do you know that as an inner prisoner of the palace, the emperor's house slave, if you don't concentric with the Holy Spirit, but with the ministers, what will happen?"

"I know."

"Do you know that if the emperor is tired of your persuasion, and then there is a treacherous spoil from it, you will be rejected by the Lord and expelled from the Lord."

"I know."

"Do you know that no matter how hard you work, maybe you won't get rid of the name of adulterer, you will be spit by the people, and the whole world will give up?"

"I know."

Xia Houyi listened to Shen Qing's cold voice, and suddenly felt sad, but he had no way, no one.

"Okay, okay." Dai Shengyan smiled sadly, stretched out his palm, and said, "Three high-five oaths."

Shen pursed her lips and hit the withered palm of Dai Shengyan. Every once in a while, crisp applause echoed in the small room, and each one was resolute and decisive, and spread out far away, all the way to the end of his life.

After three hits, Dai Shengyan looked at the two youths in front of him, with a sad smile. Deep exhaustion struck from the deepest part of the body, and the sky suddenly became bright and dazzling. At that moment, Dai Shengyan suddenly predicted that the fate was approaching.

He reached out and stroked Shen's pale cheek. The child had suffered too much, and he understood that he always understood. So he hid his selfishness. He made the biggest mistake of his life. He should have executed the law impartially and tried his death. But he was finally caught up in his private affairs and obeyed his selfishness.

How could he send him to death? This child has such stubborn eyes! From small to large, always. Even if you are buried in the dust, you have to desperately raise your head. His heart is so proud that others can trample on his body, but he cannot trample on his proud heart. Dai Shengyan shed tears in his eyes, stood up with his heavy arm, and pushed him out of the door: "Go, go boy, do what you should do."

Shen Xun and Xia Houxuan scratched their heads again and left the courtyard. Looking back, the old man stood in the deep courtyard, slowly turning into a dark shadow.

Shen Zhuo turned her head, leaning on the wall, and stepped towards the carriage. Xia Houyu looked at his back silently, and suddenly felt that this narrow alley was endless and stretched to infinity, and Shen Yan walked there alone, alone. Xia Houyi wanted to catch up and said, Master, don't leave alone, I will accompany you.

"Xiahou," Situ, who was originally outside the door, suddenly came over and whispered, "The queen's palace said that the queen emperor was filthy and chaotic, and as a rule she gave wine, and came to the governor to report it. Look like the Lord ... is it convenient to say now? "

Xia Houyi stopped, but still looked at Shen Wei.

He frowned, and suddenly his eyes grew cold, "don't say it, just give it."

Situ Jinjin was silent for a while, and then asked, "How about the mother-in-law of the Empress Dowager Zhu Xia?"

Xia Houzhen remembered that woman. When she was sitting in front of the Guanyin Temple, she was crying alone in Guangling Temple.

"Where is she?" Xia Houyun asked.

"Clan's House."
