Twilight Ghost

Chapter 27 Suddenly Chapter First

Hua Chongming never came back. Fearing that something might happen to him, Bai Ze wanted to go out to have a look, but every time he was stopped by the guards guarding the door.

"Master Bai, Master Hua won't let you go out, so don't embarrass the little one anymore."

"Then did he tell you where he went?"

The guard at the door looked bitter, and replied helplessly: "Who dares to ask, he didn't take anyone with him, and he will be gone for seven days. Even if he sends someone out to look for it now, it is probably impossible to find it."

Just as Bai Ze was about to ask another question, another guard ran over in a panic, looking like a gossip woman, and said in a hurry: "Old Yang, have you heard? The Lin Mansion was burned last night. The whole family is sleeping, they were burnt... tsk tsk tsk, it's all turned into ashes on the bed!"

The guard surnamed Yang didn't care about this, and asked: "I heard that the ancestors of the Lin family left many treasures, and they are all hidden in the mansion. Let's pick them up now, can we get a little bit cheaper?"

"What's the matter? I've never seen such a fierce fire in my life. It's all turned into ashes. There's not a single beam or rafter left, just like the burnt charcoal in the hearth."

Bai Ze didn't listen to what they said, turned around and entered the room, but didn't want to go out to see how big the fire was. He felt somewhere that it seemed to have some indescribable relationship with Hua Chongming.

Good things don't go out and bad things travel thousands of miles. In less than a day, all men, women, old and children in Mo'an City knew about the catastrophe of the Lin family, and they all lamented the misfortune of Mr. Shi Lang.

Lin Huizhong sat in the prison almost all night without sleep, and the next day was the day of the execution, and he had no nostalgia in his heart. He only hoped that the sky would light up soon so that he could go underground to reunite with his family.

"Master Lin, the gate of hell is about to close, what can I do if I don't have a good meal?"

Hearing the crisp sound of metal collisions, the cell door slammed open, and two jailers came in carrying a table, took out the delicacies in the food box and set up a large table, and then lit the candlesticks to urge him to hurry up. eat.

It's still early in the day, when will the decapitation meal come earlier?Lin Huizhong couldn't think about it, and didn't have an appetite to eat, so she just sat at the table and kept drinking.

One of the jailers couldn't stand it anymore, moved a stool to sit beside him, tore off a chicken wing and handed it to him, "Eat quickly, how can you go on your way if you're not full?"

Lin Huizhong raised his head, glanced at the jailer by the weak candlelight, and couldn't help being surprised: "Chongming..."

"Yili is upright, and it turns into the world. Heh, a scholar is a scholar. When is it, do you still imagine that the light shines on the world?" He glanced at the other jailer guarding behind him, held the scabbard in his hand, and looked at the time. The machine shot out suddenly, knocking him unconscious on the ground.

"It's about time, what are you doing here?"

"Stop talking nonsense, and change your clothes quickly." Hua Chongming took off the jailer's clothes and handed them to Lin Huizhong, "Time is running out. If the drunks outside wake up, I have to finish playing with you."

"You saved me alone, why not let me go to hell with them."

Hua Chongming glanced out, and tried to explain calmly: "Lin Chuchen drank my Mongolian sweat medicine, and now he has been put in a coffin and sent out of the city. I finally moved your whole family out one by one, and made this scene again. The fire is as Cheng Wang'an wants, now it's up to you, once the plan is revealed, I have to die with you, you do what I say, nothing will happen... After you get out, you run away quickly, The farther the better, don't come back to seek death, understand?"

After arranging everything with great difficulty, Hua Chongming was so upset that he took out a can of hot oil from the food box and splashed it on the face of another jailer. Then he knocked over the candlestick with his sleeve, locked the cell door, and led Lin Huizhong out.

The ground was covered with a thick layer of straw, and the fire soon caught fire. Hua Chongming repeatedly asked Lin Huizhong not to let him look back, and the two walked out of the prison in fear. A carriage in front of him was sitting in front of it, beckoning to him.

"He'll take you out of town, be careful all the way."

"Chongming..."

"Let's go, there's no time. At daybreak, with the demon power of the bag, there is no way to confuse the guards guarding the city."

Seeing the carriage gradually go away, Hua Chongming breathed a sigh of relief, and hurried all the way back to his residence, only waiting for the news from the prison after dawn.

Bai Ze hadn't woken up yet, he kept calling Zhulu's name in his dream, Hua Chongming gently embraced him, and kissed him lightly on the forehead.

Everything seems to be a dream now, just like Zhuang Sheng's dream of a butterfly, who knows who is in whose dream.

At noon, Cheng Wang'an recruited Hua Chongming to enter the palace, his brows were furrowed, it seemed that he didn't quite believe this careless situation.

"Chongming, except for Lin Chuchen, everyone in the Lin family died in the fire. Could it be that the house's feng shui is not good, and Zhu Rong was killed?"

"I made the fire."

For such a frank showdown, Cheng Wang'an was obviously a little surprised: "What can the Lin family do, please do it yourself?"

"My adoptive father has raised me for 18 years and has never treated me badly. The whole Lin family has taken care of me like relatives. If they hadn't died at my hands, their souls would not be at peace."

Cheng Wang'an sneered, but he has nothing to do now. The old Taoist said back then that chasing the deer could make him or destroy him. soldier.

"In your opinion, what should I do with Wangyang?"

"If you don't kill him, this person is talented and will definitely threaten the position of His Highness the Crown Prince. If you kill him, people in the world will say that the Crown Prince is ruthless and disregards siblings."

"Could it be that I should set up a seven-step poem and let him survive by himself?"

"That will make the Seventh Prince admired by the world, but you are humiliating yourself, Crown Prince, and your loyal words are harsh. Please don't blame Chongming." Hua Chongming said with a low eyebrow: "If Chongming's guess is correct, Your Highness will give it to Chongming. The pill can barely hang the emperor's life, now that the overall situation is settled, the emperor's illness should be fatal."

Cheng Wang'an was startled, then understood what he meant, clapped his hands and praised, "It's about killing two birds with one stone, why didn't I think of it."

From then on, Hua Chongming was transferred back to the prince and devoted himself to assisting the prince in handling state affairs.The emperor is sick, but state affairs cannot be delayed. Such a heavy responsibility naturally falls on the crown prince, but he is young and cannot handle such a heavy responsibility by himself, so this request is not too much.

Although Cheng Wangyang had amazing talent, he was still a naive child after all. He didn't think much about the actions of the emperor's brother, and he was worried that after Hua Chongming left, the imperial doctors would half-heartedly neglect the emperor, so he personally decocted the medicine for him. .

Bai Ze could see all this clearly, and also understood what Hua Chongming meant, once the medicine was stopped, the emperor would be in danger, and it would not be too much to convict him of Wangyang or other crimes.

As expected, the emperor became weaker and weaker. Finally, on the Qixi Festival of this year, the imperial doctor took his pulse and reported to the prince tremblingly: "The emperor... the emperor has passed away."

At that moment, the expression on Cheng Wang'an's face was wonderful. Hua Chongming was fascinated by the sidelines as if he was watching a play. The person who saw it clearly saw clearly that there was no sorrow at all, but the torrential tears were clearly hanging on his face, and he couldn't tell whether it was sad or ridiculous.

The Seventh Prince was convicted and demoted to a commoner, and exiled to a barbarian border area. Hua Chongming didn't know if he had the open-mindedness of "eating [-] lychees a day, and would never hesitate to grow up as a Lingnan native", or if he was hypocritical. In his eyes, but he couldn't get into his heart at all.

"Bai Ze, how should you perform your play next, should we go?"

Bai Zezai carefully peeled off the walnut shell, stuffed the amber pulp into Hua Chongming's mouth, and said with a cold smile, "Let's go? You have worked so hard for the prince, why do you want to go?"

"The cunning rabbit is a dead dog, you should know this truth."

"Heh, the ninth emperor of Kuguo I, and then Zhulu can get a real soul and become an invincible god above the heavens, and don't care about the disputes in the world... But Zhulu, have you ever thought that if you live one life in advance? Well, you will get rid of all these troubles sooner."

I ahead of time?

Hua Chongming stared into his light gray eyes without sadness or joy, and there were 900 years of ups and downs, 900 years of loneliness, which made people unable to see clearly for a while.

"What good does it do me to become the god of Jiuxiao?"

"I said, you don't need to interfere with this worldly affairs anymore, the bitter fruit of the ninth life, you have had enough, and I have seen enough, haven't you?"

Indeed, he has had enough. There are too many people in this world wearing hypocritical masks and acting righteously, doing things that hurt others with confidence. He is physically and mentally exhausted watching outside the play. This kind of exhaustion can be It erodes the bone marrow and makes him feel as if he is twilight and bored.

It's better to have a glass of wine while you're alive, with the Venus hanging on the Big Dipper behind you.

"Okay, I promise you, let's end it soon."
