Chapter 243

In prison, Xu Jingfu sat quietly.

When he first came in, the jailers were very respectful to him and did not dare to neglect him at all. Although he was shocked by Xiao Huaijin's forceful action, he was not worried. Chu Zhao was out there, not to mention Emperor Wen Xuan's gentle temperament. After a while, he was able to pull back at least one game without mentioning his whole body.

Recently, however, the attitude of the jailers towards him has gradually changed.

Xu Jingfu is he et al. He has been fighting in the imperial court for so many years. Sometimes he can see that the situation has changed with one look in his eyes. These days, no one came to visit the prison. He had no way to know what was going on outside. Xu Jingfu does it himself. I don't know how Xu pingting and Mrs. Xu are now. Since she was born, Xu pingting has been pampered and brought up. She has never experienced any wind and rain. Now she does not know how Emperor Wen Xuan dealt with them.

Xu Jingfu didn't show up on his face, but he was already worried.

Prince Guangyan should not be of great use. He was estranged from him because of the incident of the uthorites. I am afraid that he will not speak up now. Thinking of this, Xu Jingfu secretly disdained that he would not support Guangyan, a fool, unless there were no one in the court today. But for such a long time, has Chu Zhao not thought of a way? Or is Chu Zhao in trouble now?

Xu Jingfu was a little agitated. The longer you stay in prison, the less good it is. He didn't know where Xiao Jue had been, but Emperor Wen Xuan Even though he was benevolent, he was also an emperor. When he was away, other officials would teach the emperor what to do.

There will be people who want to drag him into the water. He has to think of other ways, but the priority is to meet his people first.

Xu Jingfu was thinking about it. He saw someone passing by in the dark of his cell. Take a closer look, there is nothing.

It's snowing outside, and the jailers are drinking at the gate of the prison. The wine temporarily dispels the cold, and the sound of joking gradually goes down. The torch burning on the wall quietly gave out a weak light. In the light of the fire, it seems to be mixed with a tiny "crackle", like the sound of burning debris. Gradually, the sound became blurred, and after a long time, I don't know when, a scream broke through the night sky.

"Out of the water! It's gone! There's water in the prison

"Come on, put out the fire!"

The smoke choked people's throat itched, and the fire was burning in an instant. There were voices of people going to pour water into the water basin to put out the fire, and some people's voices sounded, accompanied by the voice of Swords: "come on! There's a break from prison! "

"Xu Xiang has been robbed!"

……

When the carriage stopped, Xu Jingfu was pushed into another courtyard. It looked like a farm in the wild. There were no other houses around. As soon as Fu entered, Xu Jingfu coughed.

He was too old to stand such a toss. His beard was half burnt off by the fire, and his clothes were all blackened by the fire. He looked very embarrassed. There was no one else in the room. There was tea and food on the table. It looked exquisite. He did not move.

At any time, it's always good to be cautious.

When he came, he had asked people around him who had robbed him from prison, but no one answered his question. Xu Jingfu was also uneasy. He sat down for a moment. A sound came from the door and someone came in.

When Xu Jingfu looked up, the visitor was dressed in a long light blue shirt. When he saw him, he called softly: "teacher."

"Zi Lan?" Xu Jingfu was happy at first, then frowned, "what's going on?"

Chu Zilan closed the door.

"The teacher did not know, Xiao Huaijin found the witness of Mingshui case."

Xu Jingfu's heart leaped, but there was no accident. His people have been looking for the whereabouts of the naluo brothers. It is clear that all of them have clues. All of a sudden, they evaporate from the world. At that time, Xu Jingfu began to suspect that it was Xiao Jue's hands and feet. But Xiao Jue is secretive, and he has not been able to grasp the handle. Now that he is in prison because of he Rufei, Xiao Huaijin will not let go of this opportunity. Xiao Jue has never forgotten the case of Mingshui. Sooner or later, it will be found out for retrial.

"Witness alone is not enough to convict."

Chu Zilan sighed: "the courtiers are not in the minority."

Xu Jingfu only sneered.

In this position for so many years, of course, he also knows that sometimes win or lose in an instant. In the past, when he suppressed Xiao Zhongwu's old headquarters, he also took advantage of the Mingshui case to turn the wind and water around. Now that he is in trouble, his opponent will not be soft hearted.

"Do you mean that the Xu family can't turn over?" Looking at Chu Zhao, Xu Jingfu's tone was a little displeased, "is this the way you think about my days in prison? Break through the fire? " Speaking of this, Xu Jingfu was a little annoyed, "do you know that once this is done, the emperor will only be more inclined to Xiao Huaijin. You are not helping at all."

"Teacher," Chu Zilan stood on his side, shaking his head: "students have no other way."

Xu Jingfu took a deep breath. "You've always been smart. Why did you choose a stupid way this time. What did you do to rob me from prison, to save my life? Life is saved, but the Xu family can't, and Ping ting and his wife You... "The more he thought about it, the more impatient he became. But now he can't go back by himself, but if he stays like this, people outside will only say that Xu Jingfu has absconded in fear of crime.

"Teacher," Chu Zilan said in a warm voice, "even if you don't break the prison, the Xu family can't survive. Xiao Huaijin won't let the Xu family have a chance to turn over. Now the fourth Prince has already made a move. "

"But you made a bad move! Can you protect me for a while, for the rest of my life? " Xu Jingfu stared at the young man in front of him angrily. "You always do things safely. I never feel at ease about you. Why this time..." His words suddenly stopped.

The man in front of him was his son-in-law to be, his student, and the man he had grown up with. He was smart, gentle and polite. He was really talented and learned. Xu Jingfu appreciated him very much. He had no son of his own, and he trained Chu Zhao as his successor.

There was a moment of silence in the room.

"Did you mean it?" Xu Jingfu asked slowly, his eyes as fierce as a snake.

Chu Zhao smiles: "teacher, we have reached this point. Only in this way can it be the best. "

Xu Jingfu's hands trembled.

"I know the teacher is not willing, still want to make a comeback, but the teacher in prison, do not know the situation outside, has changed." Chu Zhao's voice was still gentle, and he continued slowly: "the students have met his highness, which is also the meaning of his highness."

"Guangyan that idiot," Xu Jingfu sneered. "How could you think of the car abandoning Marshal? I think it's you," he stared at Chu Zhao's face. "You proposed it. Good, Chu Zilan, you've been with me for so long, but I didn't realize that I had a poisonous snake by my side."

"This is not to follow the teacher to learn," Chu Zhao is not angry, light voice way: "the teacher teaches well."

After years of ups and downs, Xu Jingfu experienced for the first time the feeling of being vomited. When he was at war with Xiao Zhongwu, he was not angry at the moment.

Xu Jingfu understood Chu Zhao's meaning. It is true that he wanted to cause himself to collude with others in secret, and that he wanted to escape with fear of guilt. Then he, as a student, took action against his relatives, which not only showed his patriotism and cleared the possibility of collusion with himself, but also eliminated his great trouble Xu Jingfu had left in his hands, which was enough to destroy him.

What's more, when Xu Jingfu died, the original Xu party would have been Chu Zhao's if he could get away from the case.

He didn't have a son. That is to say, he took a fancy to Chu Zhao's temperament and talent, and wanted to cultivate him into his own. He didn't expect that Chu Zhao was very deep hidden, just like A desperate family?

Xu Jingfu suddenly felt sick.

"Chu Zilan," Xu Jingfu called Chu Zhao's name, "I asked myself, there is nothing wrong with you. If I hadn't saved you, you would have died in Shi Jinbo's house. I don't know which yard. For so many years, I have protected you, helped you become an official, and arranged everything for you. You are so kind as to bite the hand that feeds you A villain who forgets his roots and is unfaithful and repays his virtue with resentment! "

"Forget your roots? To repay kindness with resentment? " Chu Zhao smiles. He looks at Xu Jingfu and says in a warm voice, "the teacher is really very kind to his students. However, there is some sincerity and utilization in this good place. The teacher also knows that. Don't be too sincere, or I'm afraid I'll believe myself if I say it for a long time. "

At that time, Xu Jingfu gave him a pair of boots and rescued Chu Zhao from his wife. After that, at least on the surface, the three brothers and Mrs. Chu did not dare to be too presumptuous, and he was able to save his life. For a while, Chu Zhao was really grateful to Xu Jingfu.

Until he grew up, Xu Jingfu arranged for him to be an official. It seems that this is also a good thing. The teacher arranges for the future of his students wholeheartedly, and few people in the world can do it.

But when he became an official, he really became a chess piece of Xu Jingfu.

Xu Jingfu's disciples are all over the Wei Dynasty. Every official is his chess piece. Chu Zhao is no different from other chess pieces. He killed, wronged and won over Xu Jingfu Do everything. Xu Jingfu is behind his back. He always encounters many hidden arrows when he is in front of people and the target in front of people.

Once he overheard Xu Jingfu talking to his servant.

"The fourth master of Chu is going to the banquet. I'm afraid it's dangerous. Do you want to... "

"Young people, just want to grow up in danger," his teacher said with a smile. "If I don't want to give my life, what's the point of raising him for so long?"

Chu Zhao understood later that he was a dog raised by Xu Jingfu. He will bite whoever Xu Jingfu wants him to bite. People who are bitten hate dogs, not dog owners.

Didn't Xu Jingfu know that it would be dangerous to go to Jiyang? Of course, when he was in Rundu, Xu Jingfu was still on guard against him. When Xu pingting likes him, Xu Jingfu can arrange his own marriage. Chu Zhao knew that if Xu pingting didn't like him or even hated him one day, Xu Jingfu would not hesitate to abandon him.

"You play the role of teacher, I play the role of students, for a long time, the teacher also forgot why I was chosen as a student."Xu Jingfu stares at him and says angrily It was because I looked at you pitifully

"Is that true?" The young man laughed. "Didn't the teacher see that I had nothing and was easy to control, so I was put under the door?"

A poor man who was bullied by his mother and brother at home, and he didn't know when he would die. A poor man who had nothing to rely on. Once he received some favor, he would return it 100 times. Once he had a chance, he would try his best to climb up.

It's really suitable to be a chess piece.

It's too suitable to be used because there is no other choice.

The kind and gentle teacher was nothing but an illusion disguised by him. His calculations and plans were hidden in those soft boots, waiting for the time to pass slowly. The nails came out of the boots slowly, and unconsciously, they made people's blood flow.

But at that time, didn't he calculate?

He knew clearly that he was going to go to Xu's house for a banquet. He knew that the clothes made for him by Mrs. Chu were as thin as paper, but he still wore them.

When Chu Linfeng took him to socialize, he couldn't find any space to change his boots, or at least pull out the nails inside?

Xu's house was so big that he met Xu Jingfu?

He was a child growing up in a brothel. He had seen women use all kinds of tricks in order to win the favor of men. Pity for the weak is the instinct of all the strong. Using human sympathy and compassion is the ability he learned to protect himself in those years.

Every opportunity is hard won, and we must firmly seize it.

He caught hold of it, and finally changed his fate. Although the fate of the way back is not very bright, but at least let him survive for so many years.

Xu Jingfu used him, he also used Xu Jingfu. After all, he and Xu Jingfu were the same kind of people at the beginning.

It's just a pity that the boots, he thought regretfully, had really warmed him for many years.

The lamp shadow in the room slowly sways, the wind outside is blowing extremely, the window blocks the wind, as if ghosts howl. The warm candlelight seems to make the room colder.

Xu Jingfu looked at him, looked at him, and suddenly laughed in a low voice. He said, "Chu Zilan Yeah You are so good... "

"Teacher," Chu Zilan looked at him, and her eyes were still gentle. "Just like you, it's true that you sympathize with me, and it's true to want to use me. I appreciate that you're real, and it's true to want to kill you." He took a step back, and his outline was completely clear in the light. He was clearly a soft and handsome face that did not eat people's fireworks. However, he seemed to have tasted all the evils in the world, with a kind of cold pity, "all the means students seek are learned from their teachers. It's just The blue is better than the blue. "

"What a blue man is better than the blue." Outside, Xu Fu asked, "it's just that you're laughing When are you going to kill me

Chu Zhao did not speak.

"This resolute and unfeeling one is worthy of being a student of Xu Jingfu." He suddenly said, "what about graceful? What are you going to do with her? "

This old minister, who has been ferocious in the officialdom for a lifetime, finally reveals his frailty belonging to the old man at this moment. He looks at Chu Zhao and even prays, "she really likes you If you have half a conscience, don't hurt her! "

"I won't hurt her." After a long time, Chu Zhaocai said, "as long as she is obedient."

The lights in the room were full of lights, and there was a voice outside, "four childe! The pursuit is coming! "

Chu Zhao looks at Xu Jingfu.

Xu Jingfu looked back at him quietly. His eyes were unwilling, angry and resentful. In the end, he became powerless.

He was already old. When he was dealing with Xiao Zhongwu in the first World War of Mingshui, he should have expected such a day.

Chu Zhao knelt down slowly and bowed down to Xu Jingfu.

"The student union will inherit the teacher's will, and the teacher will go well all the way."

He stood up and went out of the door without looking back. Several bodyguards rushed in. The sound of tables and stools toppling in the room, accompanied by people's low voice screams.

Chu Zhao stands quietly, the wind blows up the corner of his robe, which makes his body extremely thin, as if he is going to go back by the wind at the next moment. For a moment, he thought that many years ago, when he was about 11 or 12 years old, he went to Xu Jingfu's house to celebrate his birthday. Xu Jingfu's students were older than him. Many of them had already become officials. They gave gifts of gold, jade and jewelry. He was the only one who hesitated for a long time. Finally, he took out a picture from his back in shame.

It was a pine tree that he had painted. He had been working for several days and nights, and his painting was very serious. He didn't have much money, and he didn't want to ask Chu Linfeng to ask for it. He thought about it for a long time, and this was the only one who could take it.

At that moment, he really thought so.

It's just, it was a long time ago.

After a while, two bodyguards came out. The knife on one's waist had already been dyed red with blood. It was dripping into the snow under his feet, like a plum blossom in bloom.Chu Zhao takes the knife from his hand. It's heavy. The man holds it, but he still finds it hard. I don't know how the skinny girl can wave it easily.

He looked at the knife, held the handle with his back hand, and suddenly stabbed at his chest.

"Pooh --"

when the tip of the knife did not penetrate into the skin, a clear sense of pain came, which seemed to wake up the confusion just now. The bodyguard on his side was shocked: "four childe!"

He waved his hand, pulled out the knife again and threw it on the ground. He covered his wound with one hand. The blood immediately covered his palm and dyed his robe red.

The next moment, the sound of soldiers and horses outside suddenly came. He walked forward two steps, and at last he fell to his knees.

"Four childe! Fourth young master

The last thing I saw was a bright torch and a large number of soldiers and horses.
