The prince is seriously ill

Chapter 42 The Wolf's Den and the Tiger's Den

Mrs. Zhu looked at the person coming, stood up from her chair, walked over gently and said, "Binger, you are back."

"Mother, I've been back for quite a while, and I've been standing outside the door listening to your speech." Zhu Chengbing said, his face turned cold, and his tone was reproachful: "When did mother let this person in?"

"He," Mrs. Zhu glanced at him intentionally or unintentionally, and raised her voice, "He came to give us a gift, 30 taels of silver. Do you think we should accept this gift or not?"

Zhu Chengbing smiled and said: "Since this is the case, how can there be no reason not to accept it? If we don't accept it, the 30 taels of silver will fall into the hands of the dog emperor." He said without a smile, He walked up to Xun Yu, raised his chin with two fingers, and smiled sullenly, "As for this person, for the sake of the 30 taels, I'll consider keeping you as a dead body. "

Xun Yu brushed his hand away, looked straight at him calmly, his pupils were unmoved, his seemingly thin waist was straight, "I believe Mr. Zhu would not do such a stupid thing."

"Nine years ago when I let you go, I said that if we meet again, you have to be careful about your head."

"You did say these things, and I did take your words to heart, so I've been careful with my head all these years."

Zhu Chengbing raised his eyebrows, as if he didn't know this person anymore, he sneered and said, "Since you have come to your door, you can't blame me."

"So, Mr. Zhu is determined to kill me?"

"So what if I kill you? Who do you think you are?" Zhu Chengbing let out a cold snort, "You are just a prince with a name in vain. No one has ever taken you seriously. You can live or die. No one will care. You have been living among the people for many years, but who has looked for you? It is said that you are a prince, but in the end you are not as good as a beggar. So what if I kill you? No one will ever know who killed you, and no one will care. Who cares about a crippled wretch? Do you deserve to die for living such a miserable life!"

Xun Yu looked at the vicious smile on his face, and said calmly: "Mr. Zhu is right, I am indeed sad. There are so many sad and deplorable things in this world, why is Mr. Zhu not in it?" Xun Yu As soon as the point was over, there was a trace of disdain on his face, "Besides, killing me will do harm to Madam and Young Master. Mr. Zhu is not a child, so he must be able to weigh the good and the bad, and make the most correct choice. "

Zhu Chengbing's eyes turned cold, and he said with hatred: "Killing you is like killing a dog. Everyone shouts and beats you while you are alive, and I happen to be killing harm for the people. Do you think this is a good thing? I will just chop you into flesh." No one will avenge you, Jiang."

Xun Yu's eyes flickered, these words were like a sharp knife, scraping at his deeply hidden inferiority complex.What he said is not bad, even if I die, who will remember?And who will take the time to pay respects to my grave?And who will burn some paper money for me while offering sacrifices to relatives during the Qingming Festival?Who would remember that I once walked through this barren world?Who will secretly miss me on a night when the moon is thin?

"I'm sure no one will avenge me when I die." Xun Yu suppressed the frustration that was deliberately provoked in his heart, and put on a warm smile on his face. Lords, although I am not the son of heaven, I am of royal blood. With a prince in hand, I can become famous as a teacher. Otherwise, my wife and the head of the family can only be rebellious officials and thieves, and I will be stigmatized forever in the history."

"Famous teacher? That's a good reason." Zhu Chengbing stared closely at Xun Yu, his sharp eyes seemed to want to see through him, and after a while, he suddenly smiled again.He gave him a playful look. There are many ways to torture a person. Sometimes death is not terrible. What is really terrible is making life worse than death.Since he wants to live, he doesn't mind leaving his cheap life to play with him.

Mrs. Zhu, who had been silent all this time, spoke softly, "You're right, you are indeed more useful alive than dead. Since you came here sincerely, you gave us a gift of 30 yuan. If we kill you Without you, it seems that we are ignorant."

Zhu Chengbing also seemed to agree with Mrs. Zhu's words, stroked his beard, and changed the subject: "You just said that there are only two ways to escort 30 taels of silver back to Beijing?"

Xun Yu looked at his uncertain face, nodded and said, "That's right, one is a dry road, the other is a water road, and there is nothing else besides that."

Zhu Chengbing thought for a while and said, "Mother, we have secured the money, but in order to prevent the Emperor Dog from taking revenge, we have to pretend to be members of the Longlong Gang. Currently there are about 7000 strong people in the village. Since there are only two roads, We then divided into two teams, one team guarded the dry road must pass through the mouth, and the other team lay down on the water road must pass through the mouth, no matter which way the government takes, we will teach him not to go empty.”

Mrs. Zhu pondered for a long time, her brows were slightly frowned, and her expression seemed to be scruples: "30 taels of silver is not a small amount. The government will definitely send heavy troops to escort it. If it is divided into two teams, the force will be dispersed, and there must be insufficient manpower. In this way, I don't know what to do." I can't succeed. Since you have decided to make a move, you should make sure that nothing goes wrong, so as not to get twice the result with half the catastrophe and cause trouble for nothing."

"What does that girl mean?"

"We must first confirm which way they are going, and then go out in full force. Half of them ambushes, the younger half respond, and the younger half stay behind. Only in this way can we ensure success and deal with the aftermath as quickly as possible."

"My mother is right. Dividing into two teams will indeed weaken our strength." Zhu Chengbing nodded and said, "I'll send a smart person to find out the news and see which way they are going. Let's make two preparations first. It's good to get the news, if you can't find it, the soldiers will divide into two ways."

"You are the head of the family, so you can decide." After Madam Zhu said, she glanced at Xun Yu meaningfully, then looked at Zhu Chengbing and said, "This person still has some uses, remember to be careful with the cake."

"Mother, don't worry, I will definitely pay attention to propriety." Zhu Chengbing said with a high voice at the end, in a yin-yang strange tone.

Xun Yu frowned unobtrusively, and his tone made him extremely uncomfortable.

Zhu Chengbing approached him and said, "What will you do? Farming, guarding the gate, or serving people, which one will you do?"

Xun Yu was silent for a moment, his face sinking like water.

Zhu Chengbing raised his eyebrows, seemingly in a good mood, and said word by word: "Put away your prince status, in front of me, the prince is more disgusting than the maggots in the latrine."

Xun Yu glanced at him lightly, showing a mocking smile.The identity of the prince?It's really funny, this identity has always given him only hatred and humiliation. If he had a choice, he would rather be a monk than a prince.If he hadn't been born in the royal family, if it wasn't for his unbelievable legs that disgrace those people, if his parents who gave birth to him and raised him were just ordinary people, maybe he would love his mother just like Xun Jin, even if Even though he was born lame, they didn't think he was ugly, and they still regarded him as their son.At a very young age, he understood that he was different from the third prince, Xun Jin. Xun Jin was smart and cute, and it hurt to be held in the palm of that person, while he had lost all the face of the royal family, a stain that that person wanted to erase.

No one hates the status of prince more than him.

My heart was churning like a huge wave, but there was no clue on my face.Xun Yu glanced at him, and was about to say something when he saw a young man walking in with his head bowed tremblingly. The young man's face was pale. He bowed down respectfully, and said falteringly: "Report to the master, Han Xingzhi has been punished according to the order of the master, and now he is... right..."

Zhu Chengbing walked over and touched the boy's head, and smiled softly, "What's the matter? Ayan, you know me best. I have limited patience, and I hate people who can't speak clearly."

Zhuang Yan visibly flinched, but resisted the fear and stood where he was stroking, her lips trembling even more, and her body tensed, she said, "Han Xingzhi has been hung on the old camphor tree in the front yard as ordered by the head."

Zhu Chengbing withdrew his hand with a smile and nodded with great satisfaction.

Xun Yu observed him calmly, and saw that the smile on his face was like flipping through a book. At this time, he was still smiling, but at that time, there was a gust of wind, one after another, one after another, and one after another. No one knew that he would be here At which moment is ruthless like the autumn wind sweeping the leaves, and at which moment it will be gentle like the spring breeze.This person is fickle and difficult to see through.

"Very good," Zhu Chengbing praised, clapping his hands, pointing to Xun Yu, and said inscrutably, "This man is dishonest, take him to Nuanxiang Pavilion, so I can watch him."

Zhuang Yan nodded submissively, and hurriedly led Xun Yu out, not even daring to take a second look, until he turned a corner when he went out, turned around, and found that Zhu Chengbing's room was no longer in sight, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and looked carefully at it. Xun Yu came.

Xun Yu met his eyes and took the opportunity to inquire: "Little brother, where is this Nuanxiang Pavilion?"

Zhuang Yan hurriedly withdrew her gaze, which flickered a little, shook her head and didn't speak, only lowered her head and quickened her pace.

Not long after, Xun Yu followed him to a courtyard with the inscription Nuanxiang Pavilion.

The moment he opened the courtyard door and entered, Xun Yu suddenly stopped in his tracks, his eyes widened in surprise, and the blood all over his body rushed straight to the top of his head.

I saw a bloody thing hanging on the old camphor tree in the yard. When I looked closely, the thing had a nose, eyes, hands and feet, and there were penis that women never had.It's just that the man's eyes and nose were covered with blood, his mouth was opened horribly, he didn't have a single hair on his head, and his whole body was completely naked. There were bruise spots on his pale skin, and lumps of blood stains were densely distributed. .

Xun Yu was horrified, what kind of hatred was there for him to be so cruel that he didn't hesitate to skin a person alive and hang him in the sun to roast?
