"me……?"
When asked why Cui Sheng hadn't read the newspaper these days, Cui Sheng avoided looking directly at me for fear of being beaten.
Because he has been lingering in the brothel these days and sold almost everything he could sell in the house!
It's just that the door was closed all day long, and I lingered on the sick bed, so I never noticed it!
"Okay, it's in vain that you, as the eldest son, don't care about family affairs at all...!"
Seeing his son's expression, Cui Jingtong already understood, "It's okay now. All the wealth of our Cui family is buried in those furs. Now that the court has other ways to keep out the cold, it's impossible for the people to spend it." We bought those furs at a high price, let’s just wait for spring, and let those furs sit in the warehouse and get bugs!”
After saying that, Cui Jingtong felt as if a huge stone was pressing on his chest. He could only breathe heavily to feel better!
"Dad, is there no other way?"
After being scolded, Cui Sheng was worried that I would suddenly take action. Cui Sheng subconsciously took two steps back, with a grimace on his face, and asked without giving up.
"A way? Is there any other way? The only way is to wait for the Xiang family. If they can succeed, our family can still be saved. If they can't succeed, our descendants of the Cui family will have to live with these skins for the rest of their lives. Bar!"
Knowing that his health was not good, Cui Jingtong tried his best to calm down his mood.
"Xiang family...Xiang family...?"
Speaking of the Xiang family, Cui Sheng seemed to suddenly think of something, and quickly touched his arms, "Dad, letter! There is a letter from the Xiang family!"
This was delivered to his house two days ago. He happened to see it when he was about to go out, so he put it in his arms.
I haven't thought about it for the past two days!
If I hadn't mentioned the Xiang family today, he might have had to carry it around for ten and a half days!
"Is there a letter from the Xiang family? Show it to me quickly!"
Cui Jingtong's eyes lit up, hoping he could see some good news.
But as soon as he opened the letter, he was stunned.
"Dad, what did the letter say?"
Seeing my reaction, Cui Sheng's heart skipped a beat, and a bad premonition arose spontaneously.
"puff……"
However, the next second, I spurted a mouthful of blood onto the letter.
The blood soaked into the paper and a bright red flower bloomed!
"Dad...Dad...What's wrong with you, Dad!"
Cui Sheng quickly stepped forward to check the situation.
"Master, how are you? Just hold on, I'll call the doctor!"
The incident happened suddenly, and the housekeeper was a little panicked. After reacting, he ran out quickly.
"You're a traitor... you're a traitor!"
After Cui Jingtong coughed twice in a row, he finally took a breath and pointed at his son and cursed, "Why do you still expect me from the Xiang family? The Xiang family has lost the support of the nobles of the five countries and has gone to Xianyang, planning to assassinate the young master. To get a chance!"
"Then...then when they succeed, they should still have a chance to rebel against Qin. Dad, when the world is in chaos, we still have a chance to take action with the fur we have accumulated!"
Different from Lao Tzu's reaction, after hearing these words, Cui Sheng seemed to see hope.
"Humph! What a damn chance. Without the support of the nobles of the five countries, the Xiang family is fighting alone. Trying to assassinate the young master in Xianyang City is simply a dream! If I guessed correctly, the Xiang family I plan to fight to the death!"
"The letter said that in order to avoid being discovered, the Xiang family wants to live in our mansion. I hope we can cooperate!"
"Once the Flying Eagles or Black Ice Platform in the city discover the clues, our entire Cui family will suffer!"
While talking, Cui Jingtong shed tears of disappointment.
After all, the Cui family is also a century-old family.
Unexpectedly, in his generation, not only would his family be in ruins, but the whole family might also be exiled, and he didn't know whether he would survive or not!
"Dad, then...can't we just not let them come? Pretend that everything has nothing to do with us?"
Speaking of the possibility of being implicated, Cui Sheng also panicked, and the hands holding me started to shake.
"Hmph! Don't let them come? This letter was sent out a few days ago. They are probably on their way by now. What's the use of writing now to prevent them from coming? Besides, the letter has already said that if you can't stay at Cui's house, Once we settle down and are discovered by the officers and soldiers, they will tell us about our hoarding of furs if we can’t protect them all!”
"Even if the government doesn't arrest us by then, the people of Xianyang City will have to eat us alive, which will still be difficult!"
Cui Jingtong slapped his thigh and said sadly and angrily.
"Dad, then... let's run, run now!"
Cui Sheng's eyes rolled, and he seemed to be frightened.
No matter what happens, the Cui family will never be able to return to its former glory. If everything is not saved, they will be beheaded and exiled. It's strange that he can't panic!
"Run? I, Cui Jingtong, have stayed in the Cui family all my life. Where do you want me to run? Besides, with my body, where can I run?"
Cui Jingtong sneered twice.
"Yes! Dad, you...you are not in good health either. Our Cui family cannot live without a queen!"
As he spoke, Cui Sheng gradually let go of Cui Jingtong's hand, stood up, and gradually backed away.
"What do you want to do, kid?"
"Come back here, kid!"
After understanding what his son meant, Cui Jingtong supported his body, tried to stand up, and roared at his son.
"Dad, you... take care of yourself, son... my son will find a way to carry forward our Cui family in the future!"
However, the more he scolded him, the faster his son walked.
Whatever problems have arisen before, I have a way to solve them.
But this time even I can't solve the problem, and he has sold all the things in the house. If he doesn't leave, what are you waiting for?
Is it possible that they waited for the rebels to live in their mansion and were implicated after the assassination failed?
He is running away now. If the assassination is successful, it will not be too late to come back.
At that time, he said that he was going out for a walk. Anyway, it was common for him not to return home!
"You boy, stop, stop...!"
Cui Jingtong got the strength from nowhere and stood up holding on to the bed.
Pointing at his son’s back and shouting!
However, Cui Sheng had already run out quickly, and he couldn't catch up even if he wanted to!
"Bang..."
Cui Jingtong was so furious that he spurted a mouthful of blood onto the ground. He leaned back and fell to the ground with a muffled sound.
"Master... Master... What's wrong with you, Master!"
At this moment, the housekeeper ran back with the doctor, rushed forward, and kept shaking Cui Jingtong's body.
But no matter how he shouted, Cui Jingtong still didn't respond at all.
"Alas...! Save your condolences!"
The doctor checked it, shook his head helplessly, picked up the medicine box, sighed deeply, and turned around to leave.
