Chapter 35
The weak flame of the kerosene lamp shone on Jian Chong's face, making his face look a little yellow.After being bedridden for more than two months, Jian Chong was anxious and worried, and looked haggard.Jian Qing looked at her father and felt a little sad. She regretted pushing her father so hard and knew what he was worried about. However, once many things happened, escaping was not a good way out.Only by facing it and moving forward can we finally solve the problem.

"What do you mean?" Jian Chong was worried, but also very pleased that his child had grown up.He has now forgotten that the child in front of him is not a son, but a daughter, and he also wants to hear the child's opinion.

"Just now at the door, the child met King Yan. King Yan said that Xu Duo had been trying his best to rescue his father after he was demoted. Now, regardless of whether Xu Duo is on the list, the child wants to go to the capital. If Xu Duo Duo was in trouble and innocent, so the children tried their best to help to repay the kindness. The emperor wanted to kill the heroes, whether it was to pave the way for the future grandson to succeed to the throne or to not allow others to sleep soundly next to his bed, it would do great harm to the country and the people."

Jian Chong closed his eyes, "You are just a young man after all. As a father, I ask you, the emperor is sitting on the dragon throne. Does the emperor know who is loyal and who is treacherous among His Majesty's ministers?"

"The emperor was born in civilian clothes, started from scratch, and has a keen eye. How can he not distinguish whether his ministers are loyal or traitorous. But father, it is not uncommon for a person to defeat others in this life. Only those who defeat themselves are truly great. How many emperors and generals in ancient and modern times have Prime Minister, no one can be called a saint, why?" It was very unfilial to ask her father like this. She quickly said, "Only Confucius and Mencius are called saints because, throughout their lives, they defeated not others but themselves. , 'The human heart is only dangerous, the Taoist heart is only weak; the essence is only one, and it is allowed to hold on to the center'."

Jian Qing raised her head and said, "Father, the prince died young and the grandson is young. The emperor is now massacring the group of heroes to pave the way for the grandson. In his heart, he no longer has the people of the world, but only the Zhao family and the world."

"What can you do if you go?" Jian Chong couldn't help feeling regretful. This child is a daughter, but unfortunately not a son.

"My child hasn't thought about it yet. My child only knows that no matter how much he can do, he can't stay out of it. My child also wants to solve the immediate problem first. As for the future, let's talk about it tomorrow." Jian Qing lowered her head and said, such a big game of chess , she is not the one who has the final say. No matter what, she has to go to the capital.

Pursuing one's ideals wholeheartedly is a happy thing.Although time and space have changed, her pursuit will never change. For her, the greater the test, the easier it is to realize her dream.

Maintaining fairness and justice is her unshirkable responsibility and obligation.

At this moment, Jian Qing was particularly nostalgic for the era she lived in. It was a time when ordinary people were guilty of the same crime as the common people. No one class had any privileges, and everyone was equal before the law.

In the autocratic monarchy system, the power of the emperor and the power of the prime minister are in competition. If they can be balanced, the country will have long-term peace and stability.But now, it is obvious that the imperial power is overbearing and the power of the prime minister has been weakened, so that the emperor can kill as he pleases, which will inevitably lead to chaos in the future.

Early the next morning, Jian Qing came to Li Shi's house wrapped in her shabby sheepskin coat.

Li Shi's body was brought back last night. "Tigress" Li Zhang did not let Li Shi enter the house, but placed it under the eaves of the yard.

Hearing someone coming, Mrs. Li Zhang came out of the house after a while. Jian Qing saw that she was wearing a pink silk jacket, a green cotton skirt embroidered with gold, and a pair of red shoes embroidered with mandarin ducks and butterflies on her feet. Jian Qing frowned fiercely without restraining herself at all.

"Li Shi, you damn short-lived ghost. If you die, how can you teach us orphans and widowed mothers? Can't we live by looking at people's faces every day? Just look at people's faces. How are we going to live in the future?" Li Zhang Shi hugged the pillar under the eaves of the corridor and cried her heart out. Her swollen belly bumped against the pillar from time to time, making Jian Qing sweat.

The mother-in-law was sweeping the floor. She waited for Ms. Li Zhang to cry for a while, then came over to support her, "Madam, stop crying, there is still a baby in your belly. If I knew better, I would not let my wife cry like this. !”

Mrs. Li Zhang quickly put away her tears, wiped her face with a silk handkerchief, twisted her waist, held on to the door frame and entered the house.

Jian Qing stepped forward and asked her mother-in-law, "Is your wife about to give birth?"

"It's been more than eight months. It was about time to give birth, but unexpectedly, my father is gone. This child's life is also miserable. He will not be able to see his father when he lands."

Jian Qing felt a little sad. She handed a few taels of silver to her mother-in-law, "It's just a small offer, but it's because the family is in financial difficulty and I can't help more!" She paused, "It's not easy for Team Leader Li to get to where he is today." The position is such that it would be really pitiful to leave behind my wife and the child in her belly."

The mother-in-law laughed so hard that she couldn't see her teeth at first. After listening to Jian Qing's next words, she wiped a few tears and said, "Brother, you are right, my wife is also a hard-working woman!"

After saying that, the mother-in-law quickly held it with both hands and stuffed it into her arms.

Jian Qing wanted to give Li Shi a stick of incense, but the Li family didn't even put up a spiritual tablet, nor put a brazier or other utensils that could be used to burn paper, let alone incense paper candles.

The corpse was placed under the eaves of the corridor. Jian Qing didn't know when the Li family was planning to mourn. She looked down on Li Shi when he was alive, but Li Shi died because of her. So, there is really no way to predict fate. clear.

Jian Qing waited at the door for a while. Niu Er came with people from the fast shift. When he saw Jian Qing, he greeted him from afar, "Jian Qing, why are you here so early?"

After Li Shi died, Niu Er most obviously benefited.But based on Jian Qing's understanding of Niu Er, Niu Er probably didn't have the strength to kill Li Shi in such a clever way.Moreover, the murderer should have targeted Jian Qing at the beginning, and the real target was not Li Shi.

"I'm waiting for Brother Niu here." Jian Qing greeted him. She glanced at the government officials in the fast shift. As everyone entered Li Shi's house again, Mrs. Li Zhang came out, wearing a more elegant outfit. clothes, but in fact, she only wore a slightly old moon-white jacket, and her head was wrapped with a piece of cloth of the same color, protruding her big belly, crying in front of her husband's brothers before his death. Hoarse.

"You short-lived ghost, who plotted to murder you? You kicked your legs to death, but you gave up all your good things to others, who will accept your favor?" She cried again, " These days, who is the kind-hearted person who knows what is good and what is bad? When you were alive, everyone ate and took your things and praised your goodness. Now, if you open your eyes and see, who still remembers your goodness? ?”

The mother-in-law also knelt next to her, pulling Mrs. Li Zhang, "Madam, please stop crying. They have already planned it. Don't tell them if you know what you are thinking. I will tell people to think about you and your brother in your belly later. I can’t even walk without feeling at ease.”
