The room seemed to have fallen into extreme silence.
silence.
There was a long silence.
One is kneeling on the ground, and another is sitting on the main seat.
No one spoke.
As if frozen.
The rain was pouring down outside the house, endlessly.
The courtyard is as dense as a spider web.
The heavy rain hit the stone slabs and made a crisp sound.
Transparent and white watery lights appeared one after another on the ground.
Because of the rain, the air is a little fresher.
Ah Hui's eyes moved from Wang Wu to outside the room.
He didn't know what he was thinking, his eyes were unfocused, staring at the eaves of the corridor opposite in a daze.
It's about to cool down.
When I came back, there were many pedestrians on the street wearing cotton coats to keep themselves warmer.
The servants in the mansion also put on thick clothes.
The weather is getting colder.
Ah Hui changed his posture, focused his eyes, and looked into the distance.
The clouds in the sky are gray.
It's evening.
Wang Wu was still kneeling.
The wet clothes still clung to his back.
Ah Hui frowned and whispered: "Are you cold?"
Perhaps he had been silent for too long, and it took Wang Wu a moment to realize that Ah Hui was calling him.
He quickly replied: "Sir, the little one is not cold."
"Why don't you change clothes?" Ah Hui asked again.
Wang Wu thought for a while: "I'll rest inside, I don't want to wake her up..."
Ah Hui's eyes flashed and he stopped asking.
If he were really a spy sent by others, would he have done this?
Have you been diligently digging out excrement and pouring it out, not saying anything about hardship and not being afraid of being tired, yet feeling compassion for a strange woman?
He should be just an ordinary person.
Have the simplest sympathy and empathy of ordinary people.
How can it take so many days to change a dynasty?
Most people just struggle in a different place.
Coming to a strange world, he was also very scared and didn't know what to do. The original owner also left him a mess.
What can he do?
Are you going to die just because your life is unsatisfactory?
But nine times out of ten life is unsatisfactory.
The remaining one percent may have been forgotten by God.
Ah Hui sighed again.
He stood up from the main seat and whispered: "Get up."
Wang Wu was stunned.
Is this adult so easy to talk to?
It was clear that he looked very cold just now.
Ah Hui walked towards his back room and took out a set of clean clothes and a clean towel from the cabinet.
Come out: "Change."
Wang Wu was stunned for a moment, his clean eyes flashing slightly.
His little finger trembled a little, but he never took the piece of clothing.
He is afraid.
So scared.
When he was working as a waiter at a KTV, a so-called kind person gave him a dinner.
There is meat and chicken legs inside.
Even though it was leftovers from someone else's meal, he was still very grateful.
Being able to eat a meal of meat was something he never dreamed of.
But when he tremblingly took the packing box, he was violently kicked over.
The gravy, chicken legs, scraps inside.
All fell on him.
The chicken legs rolled around in a circle and were stained with dust.
The greasy juice filled his eyes.
The world has become a blur.
The next second, mocking voices rushed into his ears.
"Look at him like that, he wants leftovers!"
"Ha, that's what a child without parents is like. Look at how poor he is."
"Brother, I've told you before. If this guy doesn't study well, he won't come here to work, right?"
"Is this your classmate?"
"Yes, brother, he is that idiot who nods and bends every day with a flattering smile. I have been disgusted with him for a long time. He has no backbone at all."
…
My eyes hurt.
Ears buzzing.
Many words could not be heard clearly, and the world was spinning.
However, he still forced open half of his eyes.
Juice clouded his vision even more.
The tear ducts in his eyes were wildly stimulated.
Everything in front of him became so hazy and unclear.
But he knew in his heart that this was the most real world.
Several familiar faces had exaggerated smiles and sharp voices, their mouths were opening and closing, and their fingers were pointing.
He just sent the fruit plate into the private room, but he didn't notice it.
Except for a few eldest brothers, everyone in this private room is his classmates.
classmate.
At this moment, they all had sarcastic smiles on their faces.
There was pride, absurdity, ridicule, speechlessness, disgust and ridicule in his eyes.
No one thinks highly of him.
They are all gloating.
They all thought why he was like this. He was a good student and didn't study here to work as a waiter.
He must be crazy about poverty.
Is this what a child without parents is like?
Pooh!
They were only in their teens at the time.
If you don’t understand the harm, if you leave something behind, the victim may remember it for the rest of his life.
Maybe they are just trying to be gregarious, maybe they are trying to please the child in the center, or maybe they don’t know what they are doing at all...
If everyone else is doing it, then I should do the same.
I didn't hit him, I was just joking.
People will always find excuses for their actions.
It is difficult for people to sincerely reflect on their mistakes and apologize.
Human beings always have various shortcomings.
But I am willing to restrain my evil thoughts...
It is the greatest kindness.
At that time, Wang Wu was thirteen years old.
The reason why he is called Wang Wu is because he is ranked fifth.
There were many children at home, and they were all given away.
Because he was a boy, he stayed.
But to support him, his parents went south to work.
He became a laughing stock.
Later, my parents died unexpectedly.
For a time, many things went through Wang Wu's mind.
Countless images flashed before his eyes like a slideshow, flashed, and flashed.
He closed his eyes in despair.
He didn't cry when his parents abandoned him.
His grandparents didn't cry when they called him a bastard.
He didn't cry when the teacher laughed loudly at him for being an unwanted child.
But now he was crying.
He didn't know why he was crying.
My eyes just feel so hot.
The gravy must be too spicy, that's for sure.
This gravy...there's too much chili...
…
The memory ends.
Wang Wu's chest rose and fell.
Although he is a little shameless.
For so many years, I have been telling myself that just live and don't care about those cold words.
But in fact, in his heart, he was still...very afraid of humiliation.
Those harsh sounds are still vivid in my mind.
He instinctively took a small step back, but stopped himself.
This is not modern.
Killing is not illegal here.
In modern times, if he pisses off a guest, he gets a beating at best.
Just kneel down and apologize.
But here...
He is really going to die.
An unstable master, killing him is like crushing an ant and feeling nothing.
His life is nothing.
He tried hard to control his emotions.
There was still the usual smile on his face: "Thank you, sir. It's great for adults to treat young children well."
Listen carefully, his voice is trembling.
Ah Hui looked at him strangely, then waved his hand: "Change quickly, I have something to ask you later."
Wang Wu was silent, feeling the material of this piece of clothing that was comfortable, exquisite in workmanship, and not cheap at first glance.
It feels great and feels as comfortable as being in a cloud when you put it on.
There was a faint smile at the end of his eyes.
I have never worn such good clothes in my previous life.
He took off his wet clothes, used a clean towel to remove the water droplets from his body, and then carefully put on his clothes.
Ah Hui looked at Wang Wu in front of him complicatedly.
He just... actually saw fear in his eyes.
Although it flashed by, he saw it clearly.
It shouldn't be.
He was not afraid when he was so close to death countless times before.
Now I just give him a piece of clothing, what is he afraid of?
People's joys and sorrows are not the same.
It is difficult for people to understand things they have not experienced.
Sometimes being ashamed to face yourself is worse than death.
Wang Wu changed his clothes and stood respectfully in front of Ah Hui: "Sir, if you have anything to say, just ask me. I will tell you everything I know."
I don't know why, Ah Hui feels that he is a little different.
Just now, he had a playful smile and a smooth tone, which made him look like meat on a hob.
Now... there is a hint of sincerity.
"I don't have any specific questions, I just want to ask you..." Ah Hui was talking and suddenly stopped.
In the distance, a man in white walked over with a cold expression on his face, as if everyone owed him money.
Ah Hui's heart skipped a beat.
Chen Feibai is back, and every time the expression on his face means that he has encountered something unhappy.
He is still young, only twenty years old this year.
Perhaps in ancient times, he was able to stand alone, but in Ah Hui's heart, he was just a child.
Because he was doted on since childhood, he was the only direct descendant in the entire Prime Minister's house, and he was always held in the palm of his hand, which made him develop many thoughts that he shouldn't have.
For example: Compassion for others.
At this moment, I don’t know who provoked him. There were dark clouds on his face, which was exactly the same as the weather outside the house.
Ah Hui's face didn't change. He watched Chen Feibai get closer and closer, and then looked at Wang Wu standing next to him.
"You go down first."
Wang Wu was stunned and saw the young master who was about to come in from the corner of his eye, and immediately said: "Yes, sir."
Chen Feibai glanced at Wang Wu and suddenly said: "Stop."
Wang Wu stopped.
Chen Feibai looked him up and down: "Who are you? Why are you here?"
Wang Wu said respectfully: "Master, the younger one is a servant of the Xueyi Group. His name is Wang Wu. Mr. Liu has something to ask me about. I just finished asking him."
Chen Feibai looked at Wang Wu again, and then said: "Go down."
Wang Wu saluted respectfully.
After waiting for the people to leave, Chen Feibai walked up to Ah Hui with a calm face.
He is as tall as Ah Fai, but leaner than Ah Fai.
A pair of stubborn eyes looked at Ah Hui and said coldly: "Where have you been?"
"Ah?" Ah Hui pretended to be stupid.
Chen Fei and Bai Sen said coldly: "This morning, on Chang'an Avenue, next to the old-time story shop."
When Ah Hui stopped at the fourth word, he realized that he had seen his meeting with Chu Yue.
I don’t know how he suppressed all the questions until now to question himself.
Ah Hui had no intention of hiding it.
A lie needs to be covered up by countless lies.
All he has to do is say what he knows.
"You mean that strange woman?"
No lie, Chu Yue is a strange girl to Chen Feibai.
Chen Feibai nodded.
He stared at Ah Hui intently.
Ah Hui smiled and said, "That person came to Beijing to find a relative and wanted me to help her."
He still didn't lie, he was indeed here to find his relatives, and he really needed his help.
He is really a good honest boy.
The coldness in Chen Feibai's eyes dissipated a little: "Why is she looking for you..."
The voice grew quieter and quieter.
Ah Hui deliberately teased Chen Feibai: "I must ask you, the most noble young master?"
Chen Fei's face turned dark again as if he had changed his face.
This is what bothers him the most.
There are many princes and princes who are more noble than him, but everyone in the capital recognizes him as the most noble young master.
There is no other reason than that two-thirds of the ministers in the entire court are on the side of Prime Minister Chen.
Prime Minister Chen was the auxiliary minister personally hired by Emperor Daxing.
The current emperor was brought up by him.
More importantly, his brother Chen Yuanfu was the general of the dynasty, guarding the border. With one man, he led 300 elite soldiers hundreds of meters deep into the enemy's hinterland, killing 2,000 of the enemy.
It is an existence that makes enemies fearful.
He is a hero in the eyes of the people.
The emperor relied entirely on Prime Minister Chen to secure his position.
Prime Minister Chen had sole power, and the emperor did not dare to talk nonsense.
The emperor has not yet fully won the hearts and minds of the people, and does not have enough achievements to gain the support of the ministers.
Everyone also didn't trust him and felt that he could do nothing without Prime Minister Chen.
What's more, Prime Minister Chen has personal instructions from Emperor Daxing and is the emperor's auxiliary minister.
Moreover, he has too many supporters and has formed a faction, which is difficult to break for a while.
The emperor was pitiful and could only deal with it while trying his best to regain his sovereignty.
Today I will give Emperor Daxing some rights to build a monument, and tomorrow I will use the people as the basis to ask for some benefits.
Over the years, the power has been extracted from Prime Minister Chen's hands like this.
He and Prime Minister Chen have always maintained that hello, me, hello, everyone.
However, who can know the undercurrent surging underneath?
Of course, the emperor is trying every possible means to get rid of Prime Minister Chen's control, but for now, there seems to be no particularly good way except waiting for Prime Minister Chen's death.
But I kept enduring it, and it was very frustrating.
This is my kingdom, the kingdom of our Old Tang family.
Being criticized by an outsider all day long, so what if he is right? So what if he really does it for the people?
The people will only think that we have a good prime minister, but they will not think that we have a good emperor.
I want performance! Popular support! To be famous forever!
I really want to kill this old immortal, but how can he live so long!
Who knows if he has a rebellious mentality, and who knows if his current respect is just an act.
The Chen family grew stronger and more prosperous, with both civil and military skills, and they were all important ministers.
I'm not worried!
The emperor is not stupid either.
When it comes to killing heroes, if you do it well, it's an art, if you don't do it well, it's stupidity.
In addition to the most basic ones, pull one faction and keep one faction stable.
The emperor also began to find a new path.
He began to favor everyone in Prime Minister Chen's house, and promoted Chen Feibai to the position of the most noble young master, making everyone's eyes focus on the Chen family.
It makes other people feel that the Chen family is the only one.
Everything... is just for flattery when the time comes.
No one can escape from boiling a frog in warm water.
But everyone is a thousand-year-old fox, and no one knows each other's little thoughts.
Even if Prime Minister Chen knew it, there was nothing he could do to save it.
The corruption, corruption, and extravagance in the government cannot be reversed by him alone.
These luxurious lives will eventually get back all the interest and principal one day in the future.
Those side branches who pretend to be powerful will one day kill them.
But what can Prime Minister Chen do? He can only try his best to find ways to keep Chen Feibai.
All the stagnant situations suddenly turned around one day.
In this dynasty, time travelers actually came.
The arrival of the time traveler brought vitality to the emperor.
It also brought vitality to Prime Minister Chen.
This is a quick way for the emperor to make the country more prosperous and stronger.
A peaceful country and a peaceful people will naturally win people's hearts.
He has been restricted in everything for more than ten years, and he really doesn't want to continue to be a semi-puppet emperor.
Now that he had this opportunity, he should seize it and hold on to it.
But at the same time, it is also Prime Minister Chen’s vitality.
He can use this to slowly deal with the rotten bloodline in his family...
The stinking ones, the hopeless ones, the self-righteous ones...
They will all be dealt with by him as suspected time travellers.
The Chen family's blood and sweat for the royal family will never stop at this moment.
They will have a brighter future.
