Back Off, Let Me Come

"Why does my lord think that this ' ransom money' is life-saving money instead of a ' life-saving note'? The heart-piercing knife is the knife that kills without blood." Probably no one in Shen Tang's tent understands the darkness of the human heart better than Gu Chi. He smiled and said, "Qiu Dalang ignored the past grievances and donated money to save people. As a man who once fought with his brothers and murdered his own brother, can Qiu Cheng accept this rescue?"

Qiu Dalang may have really saved his brother regardless of previous suspicions, but he may also have figured out Qiu Fumiyan's temperament - as proud as Qiu Cheng, he will not accept charity from Qiu Dalang; as suspicious as Qiu Cheng, he will not believe that Qiu Dalang is sincere. Come and save yourself.

The point is not what Qiu Dalang does.

The key point is Qiu Cheng's reaction.

Qiu Cheng died, and Qiu Dalang's great revenge was avenged.

Qiu Cheng is alive and Qiu Dalang earns a lot of fame.

Shen Tang rubbed the cold gold in his hand.

"If I were an old rookie who was criticized for sex, I would be ashamed to accept it. At worst, I could go back and bow to Qiu Dalang, and then tuck my tail between my legs and become a rich man. At least I would have enough food and clothing. However, the temper of an old rookie who is criticized for sex is... Not good. He will probably be frightened and angry. He is worried that Qiu Dalang has other motives for doing this, and is angry that the situation of the two brothers has been reversed. He actually has to be reduced to Qiu Dalang's charity in order to survive..."

"Yes, people are accustomed to judge others by themselves." Gu Chi curled his thin lips and said sarcastically, "What kind of person he is, everyone thinks he is the same person. Since Qiu Cheng is a hypocritical gentleman, he regards him as a brother How can he be an upright gentleman? My lord, are you interested in making a bet with Chi? Let's bet that if the news of the redemption falls into Qiu Cheng's ears, what will happen to him?"

Shen Tang now has PTSD from "gambling".

but--

Big gambling hurts the body, but small gambling makes you happy.

"What's the benefit of winning a bet?"

Gu Chi said: "Let the Lord decide."

Shen Tang immediately snapped: "Okay, you said so!"

The reaction was so quick that he was afraid that Gu Chi would regret it.

The two agreed to write on the palms of their hands and show it at the same time. Seeing the result, Shen Tang was disappointed and said, "Oh, the bet can't work out."

Because, they all wrote the word "death".

Shen Tang joked: "I originally thought that if I won the bet, I would let you work overtime in the government office for ten days and a half without any conditions, and the monthly salary would be given to me. I never thought that you and I would have the same answer. Wangchao, could you have listened to my voice? Just write it?"

"No, it's just a connection between hearts."

If the Qiu family sends money to redeem himself, Qiu Cheng will die.

If you don’t want to die, you must die!

Shen Tang closed the wooden box with a snap.

Calling the official from the government office: "Go to Tangyuan and tell Sepi Laocai... Ah, no, I want to tell Wen Yangong the good news. The Qiu family has sent ransom money. He has regained his freedom. I Send someone to escort him back to the Qiu clan tomorrow."

Shen Tang pronounced the accent in the last sentence.

"This matter is very important and must be reported truthfully."

Some people have to take the blame.

Shen Tang and Gu Chi looked at each other, understanding each other tacitly.

The junior official took the order: "I know this."

The location where the prisoners were held was not far away.

Qiu Cheng and his family live alone in one courtyard.

The ransom money was delivered to Xiaocheng in the morning, the news was delivered to Tangyuan at noon, and Qiu Cheng committed suicide with his sword at night.

The details are exactly as expected by Shen and Tang.

When the clerk appeared with beaming faces, Qiucheng and his wife were worried about Shen Tang's tricks to torment people - the corpse of Miao Shu had been sent to them before, which would have kept them tossing and turning for several nights. Qiu Cheng was once the leader of a force and was still able to hold his own.

"I wonder what the envoy did when he came?"

The clerk crossed his hands and saluted: "Congratulations to Mr. Wen Yan."

Qiu Cheng raised his eyebrows: "Oh, where does the joy come from?"

The clerk smiled brightly and said: "Just this morning, the Qiu family sent the ransom money for Wen Yangong, and the lord sent his subordinates to come and tell Wen Yangong. The lord also said that tomorrow he will send someone to take you and your family back to the Qiu family. Wen Yan Sir, you will be free soon."

Unexpectedly, Qiu Cheng was not as happy as expected.

Instead, he grabbed the sleeve of the clerk and asked him: "You mean the ransom money sent by the Qiu family? Isn't it someone else?"

He mentioned several surnames and families in succession.

His father-in-law was unreliable, and Qiu's family was in the hands of his eldest brother who had a grudge against him. Qiu Cheng had no choice but to write to his former classmates for help. But before they could help, Qiu's people came first, which gave Qiu Cheng a bad feeling.

The clerk was confused: "It's not them, it's the Qiu family."

The eldest lady pursed her red lips tightly, worried.

Qiu Cheng asked for details again: "Is there any letter?"

The clerk shook his head: "No."

Qiu Cheng thought over and over what he had said when he brought the junior official, and he didn't even know when the junior official would leave. When he came to his senses, the sky outside the house was already dark, and the eldest lady was always by his side, her eyes full of worry: "Master Lang, you scared me to death."

"Uu——"

Qiu Cheng let out a long sigh.

His spirit was visibly broken.

He sighed: "The big house has murderous intentions. If it falls into his hands, hehe, I'm afraid he will die in a disgraceful way."

The eldest lady was shocked and said: "Why did Master Lang say this?"

Qiu Cheng suddenly said sternly: "You don't know what the boss is doing? If he hadn't used such despicable and despicable methods back then, how could he be the one who should be adopted? It's obvious that all the elders of the clan like me, but in the end he was the chosen one. !”

At that time, there was no one in the Qiu family's main house to inherit the incense, so they had no choice but to adopt two heirs. The second wife has two children, Qiu Dalang and Qiu Erlang, who are also Qiu Cheng. They are all children of the second wife's wife and full brothers from the same mother.

In the case of adoption, the younger one will usually be adopted rather than snatching the eldest son. Qiu Cheng is smarter than his brother, enlightened earlier, and is also deeply liked by the clan elders. He thought that he was the chosen one, and before the results came out, he still wanted to lead the Qiu family to go higher and further.

Unexpectedly, it was Qiu Dalang who was taken away.

This reality gave Qiu Cheng a blow in the head.

The treatment of the two brothers has been drastically different since then.

The previous generation had squandered all their savings for the second house, and they had little savings. They were very short on food and clothing, and could not even support a few servants. However, Qiu Dalang was like a fish in water in the big house, worshiping famous teachers, becoming famous people, and occupying a high position. , enjoy the popularity of thousands of people.

However, Qiu Cheng racked his brains in order to maintain the basic dignity of the family, and his life was stretched thin, and he became increasingly resentful.

At some point, he had the cruel thought that it would be better if the boss died, but when he calmed down, he felt regretful and ashamed. He thought he could control the demons in his heart, but he overestimated his morality and underestimated the resentment caused by jealousy.

The thought of killing my brother became stronger day by day, and the regret and shame after calming down became weaker and weaker day by day, until I could no longer feel it.

Qiu Dalang took away the life that belonged to him.

Why should he feel guilty and regretful?

So, he lay dormant and waited for the opportunity.

Until the chaos broke out, Huang Lie gathered the crowd and raised his troops.

He made a mistake and responded to the case, completely ignoring his brother who was still in the hands of Zheng Qiao as a hostage. If Zheng Qiao killed his brother in anger, Zheng Qiao's head would be used as a memorial to his brother and his family in the future, which would also complete their brotherhood for this life.

However, despite all the calculations, he never expected that the boss and his family would escape death, let alone that he would defeat Sibao County and become a prisoner. He urgently needed money to redeem his family.

The eldest lady gave words of consolation: "Mr. Lang, in my opinion, uncle may...maybe that's not what he meant... How can brothers have an irresolvable feud? At worst, he can go back and bow his head to uncle and admit his mistake. He can still do it." Can’t I kill you?”

After killing his own brother, Qiu Dalang no longer wants his reputation?

Qiu Cheng shook off her hand: "A woman's opinion!"

The eldest lady was thrown away and staggered two steps, falling to the ground.

"Escort back to Qiu's family... Haha, what a good return to Qiu's family... I almost killed his family, will he pretend that it never happened? If it were you, would you just give up? The boss is not a kind person! He had previously I am afraid of the soldiers and horses in my hands, so I have to be a coward. Now that I have no soldiers and soldiers in my hands, I am afraid that I will not be able to control my own death once I return to the Qiu clan."

Qiu Cheng seemed to be stunned, his eyes were red and he was breathing heavily. This strange look made the eldest lady feel frightened.

"Master Lang..." she shouted sadly.

"I can't lose to him..." Qiu Cheng's eyes fell on the sword. The sword blade once seemed to be of great weight, but now he easily pulled it out. The sword blade reflected the ferocious expression on his face, "I would rather die." , and cannot fall into his hands and suffer humiliation.”

The blade of the sword lies across the front of the neck.

This scene made the eldest lady stupid.

When she came to her senses, all her strength had been exhausted from her hands and feet. She almost crawled to Qiu Cheng's side using both hands and feet, and raised her hands to cover her neck where the blood was gushing out. At this time, Qiucheng has not completely died, and his literary spirit can prolong his dying time on earth.

"After I leave...he won't dare to neglect...Second wife, you can find another good relationship..."

_(:з　∠)_

It's hard to say whether Qiu Dalang wants Qiu Cheng to die, but Tang Mei really wants him to be left alone... The key is not to take the blame.
