"Master, how about we escape?" Master made a suggestion.
Hearing the master's words, the prefect Cen Yongchang raised his sad head.
"escape?"
"Where can we escape to?"
"Now that this has been done, there is no room for escape."
After listening to the words of the prefect Cen Yongchang, the master didn't know what to say and stood on the ground without saying a word.
After a while, the prefect Cen Yongchang sighed, stood up, and wandered around the small room.
As he wandered around, he started talking to himself.
"It would be better if I didn't do these things in the first place."
"It's better now."
"After the common people found out, they passed the dress on to the imperial court."
"The emperor is now determined to know."
"I've been suffering from insomnia and dreaminess these past few days."
"It is estimated that in the next few days, the court will send officials to investigate. By then, my head will be in danger."
After listening to Magistrate Cen's words and looking at Magistrate Cen's face, Master asked confusedly: "Master, why don't you want to escape? If you escape, escape to this deep mountain and old forest and cut off It doesn’t matter if they can’t find the news from the outside, their lives can still be saved.”
The prefect Cen Yongchang sighed, looked at the master, and said: "Now that my reputation has been ruined, I may not be able to get this official position. But I still need this face. Rather than hiding in the mountains and forests, I I have been worrying about things all day long, so it would be better to die as soon as possible and be relieved."
Seeing Magistrate Cen say such depressing words, the master standing beside him didn't know what to say.
This scene was silent for a long time.
"Master, what about your family? Don't you think about them?" Master asked.
Magistrate Cen Yongchang's expression changed, and he walked slowly towards the old wooden chair. After sitting on it, he took a sip of the cold tea in front of the table and said: "I have already thought about this matter. Yes. Tomorrow morning, thank you for taking me and my family to the deep mountains and old forests for shelter. I have already prepared this money. After settling them, you can take some money and find another place."
Hearing what Magistrate Cen said, the master who had been following him for many years felt as if these words were rushing him away, and he didn't know what to say.
Seeing that the master had not said a word, and looked at the already late night sky outside, the prefect Cen Yongchang sighed and continued: "Master, please come forward, I have a few words to say to you. .”
Seeing that Magistrate Cen still had something important to say, Master hurriedly took a few steps forward, leaned slightly to the side, and listened to Magistrate Cen Yongchang's whisper.
After hearing this, I saw the master nodding in response. It could be seen from his eyes that the master was still a little reluctant to tell the difference.

away.
I had worked as a master with the prefect Cen Yongchang for so many years, but I didn't expect that I would say goodbye like this in the end.
"Okay, it's getting late. Tomorrow morning, you do as I say." Cen Yongchang said.
The master nodded, looked at Magistrate Cen for the last time, walked out of the room, and went to rest.
In the past few days, the prefect Cen Yongchang has not been able to sleep well at all.
See, the master has been away for some time, and there is still a faint light in this room.
The night is getting deeper and deeper, and the breeze is like a naughty child, rustling the bamboo leaves in the courtyard, and the fallen leaves on the road in the courtyard are also blown and dancing.
Such a scene is really hard for the servants in this mansion. They have to clean up again tomorrow. Oh, I forgot, this old man is going to the west, and the whole family is going to go outside for shelter. This Cen mansion still has What to clean.
The moon sets little by little to the west. Before the moon completely disappears in the west, the sun has already risen anxiously from the east.
The light brought to Liangcheng Mansion.
Early in the morning, before the light fully illuminated the Cen Mansion, I saw a family starting to pack their things.
Speaking of the Cen Mansion, Cen Yongchang is the one who calls the shots in this family. Shun Yongchang only had one main wife and three concubines. As for his children, two of them were already married. In the early years, he had two sons, but one of them drowned. Now there is only one in the house. son.
Speaking of this son, he is not smart at all and does not look like a normal person. Now he has no wife or children, let alone a son. This son's name is Cen Zhi.
It was Cen Yongchang's second concubine Shen Yan who gave birth to him.
"Have you packed everything up? You should hurry up! Think more about me."
The one with the anxious face is Zhou Qin, the head wife of the Cen Mansion. She has a decent figure and some of her hair is gray.
Speaking of which, the main wife Zhou Qin is only a few years younger than the master Cen Yongchang, and the two are married on the fingertips. Zhou Qin has been Cen Yongchang's first wife since she was a child, and this matter is already certain.
Because of this, the principal wife Zhou Qin did not please Cen Yongchang. In addition, the principal wife Zhou Qin was no longer fertile, so she did not please Cen Yongchang.
As for the three concubines in the mansion, the first concubine, Zhu Fang, gave birth to several daughters for Cen Yongchang, but she could not give birth to a boy. From then on, she began to be unpopular.
The second concubine, Shen Yan, gave birth to a son, Cen Zhi, who began to be disliked because of his stupidity.
The son born to the third concubine Wei Roushun drowned a few years ago.
Each of these concubines was carefully selected by the old man Cen Yongchang, and all of them seemed to have pretty good looks, but the old man
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
I didn't expect to get such a fate.
"Okay, okay." The third lady, Shen, hurried over.
I saw something wrapped in a blanket on his back and he was carrying his silly son Cen Zhi tightly with his other hand.
"Are you all here?" Madam Zhou Qin looked around.
Seeing that there was nothing left behind, Madam Zhou Qin looked at the housekeeper anxiously and asked, "Is there anything left behind?"
The butler's name is Zhang Qi, and he is the butler of the Cen Mansion. He has a slightly chubby figure and looks to be about the same age as the master next to him.
Butler Zhang Qi shook his head slightly: "Madam, it should be gone."
"Okay, let's get in the car." After saying this, Mrs. Zhou directed them.
In fact, there is no need to give orders. The servants in the mansion have already left. There are only a few ladies, a stupid young master, a housekeeper and a master, and there is no one else.
From this evacuation, Mrs. Zhou also saw clearly the faces of these servants. They were all greedy for money. They kicked her out and quite a few people left. Even the stubborn ones left after being given a few taels of silver. .
After getting on the carriage, the lady asked the master anxiously.
"Fei'er!" Mrs. Zhou called out.
The Fei'er mentioned is the master sitting in front of the carriage wearing a bamboo hat and veil. His name is Li Fei. Although he is only the master of Cen Yongchang, he is still close to the people in Cen's family.
Hearing Madam Zhou's call, Master Li Fei, who was sitting in front of the carriage and holding the reins, responded: "Madam, what's the matter?"
"When will the master come?" Mrs. Zhou asked worriedly.
Recalling what the prefect Cen Yongchang said last night, Master Li Fei replied: "The master will be here soon. He still has some things to explain. Once he has finished explaining, he will come over. Don't worry, madam, nothing will happen to the master." of."
Hearing what the master said, Mrs. Zhou felt a little more at ease.
Although my relationship with the master is not very harmonious, she has been destined to be his first wife since she was born.
The horses drove out of Yu'anfu City and began to head towards the neighboring Nanzhong Province. As for where they were going, only the master who drove the horses, Li Fei, knew.
Early in the morning, Master Cen Yongchang had already gone to the government office.
Although there were still officials looking at him strangely, the prefect Cen Yongchang didn't care anymore. After all, he had already prepared for the worst.
In fact, the prefect Cen Yong used the sea ban to make money. A large part of the reason was not for money, but because he thought of his son who drowned and hated the world. Thinking of his own drowning, Therefore, whenever I see those young and vigorous men, I will think of my own son.
