Chapter 240

The case of general Feihong caused a great disturbance in the whole capital city of Shuo. The soldiers and civilians who had been favored by general Feihong spontaneously went to the palace to call for a thorough investigation of the truth. General Feihong has a good reputation among the soldiers and the common people. As soon as the truth comes out, the two families of Heshui are also guilty of public anger.

Emperor Wenxuan handed the case to Dali temple. Within a few days, he Yuanliang couldn't bear to extort a confession and told the truth at first. Officers and soldiers also found a lot of evidence that he Rufei had a relationship with the uto people. In this case, he family cheated the monarch, falsely claimed meritorious service, cooperated with the enemy, and punished him for several crimes. Besides he Xinying, the legitimate sister of general Feihong, he committed all the crimes of death. The main culprit, he Ruo, was not guilty of a serious crime. He was sent to the city to be killed with 120 knives, and the owl made a public appearance.

As for the Hanlin scholar Xu family, except for Xu Zhiheng's death penalty, all the men were exiled, and the female family members were not slaves.

The case was solved quickly, and when the result was known, the people all applauded and accused the two families of their crimes.

The day before his death, in prison, Xu Zhiheng looked at the rotten food in front of him and hesitated to move his chopsticks.

On the last meal on huangquan Road, the other prisoners had wine and food, but he had nothing. It is because even the jailers feel that Xu Zhiheng is too cruel and merciless. At that time, many people received the favor of general Feihong. Now, even for general he who died, many people would not let Xu Zhiheng live a better life.

The jailer laughed at him and said, "why don't you eat it? After today, there will be no more to eat. I advise Uncle Xu not to be choosy

Hearing this, Xu Zhiheng got excited and rushed to the gate of the prison. He grabbed the railing of the gate and looked at the jailer outside: "no I'm not going to die! I'll give you the money. You can find someone for me and ask them to rescue me! I'll give you the money

"Good," the jailer looked at him with a smile, "who is Uncle Xu looking for?"

Who are you looking for?

Xu Zhiheng was stunned.

He's family has fallen along with him. If he is not himself, he can't protect himself. His colleagues who used to make friends with his family in the past have already avoided it, for fear of causing trouble. No one can save him.

Xu Zhiheng collapsed to the ground powerless. In despair, he was unwilling to accept it. He murmured: "why? It's not the one I killed I didn't do anything

"Did you really do nothing?" A voice sounded from the dark, Xu Zhiheng suddenly raised his eyes, and saw someone slowly appeared in front of him, all over the body under the black cloak. At first, he thought that someone had come to save him, but the next moment, the surprise turned into fear, because the man took off his cape and showed his face.

It was Marquis Heyan of Wu'an.

Xu Zhiheng was startled and quickly retreated to the root of the wall. He said, "don't come here Don't come here

The jailer has left. Heyan looks at the embarrassed man. Xu Zhiheng looks afraid of her. He looks like he is watching the evil spirits coming out of hell.

He Yan has never seen such a Xu Zhiheng. Whether it was the young man in Tsing Yi who pulled her out of the snow at the age of 14, smiling to help her get her back her burden, or Uncle Xu, who later married him, was very different from the man with a long beard and a startling bird. Even if he had drowned himself, Xu Zhiheng did not show up from the beginning to the end.

She has seen Xu Zhiheng when she is in a beautiful time and looks like a human being. But this is what Xu Zhiheng looks like when she is in prison.

He Yan was disappointed.

Just like a general, if he dies in the hands of his rivals, he will not regret it, but if he is far away from himself It's a pity.

"Don't be afraid." She had a gentle voice and even a little smile. "I'm here to ask you something."

The woman's eyes were bright, and there was no hatred in her eyes. But the smile seemed to bewilder Xu Zhiheng. He still did not move. He stared at Heyan and hesitated for a long time before he asked, "what do you want to ask?"

"You..." He Yan laughed, "when did you know that your wife, he Yan, was general Feihong?"

This matter, he Yan has been unable to understand. When she married Xu Zhiheng, she thought that Xu Zhiheng knew nothing about himself, and she made up many reasons to cover up her scars. And in order to be different from ordinary women, he made up many excuses. It was not until the day of her death that she learned from he wan Ru that Xu Zhiheng had already known.

Maybe all the jokes are hidden in her eyes.

But when did he know that? After she married into the Xu family, or before, or even earlier? But in that case, why should he marry himself?

Xu Zhiheng's eyes dodged and looked at her with a trace of vigilance in his eyes: "why do you want to ask this? Who the hell are you? "

"I'm the one who can get you out." He Yan's soft voice.

Xu Zhiheng's eyes brightened: "help me out?" He walked forward a few steps, as if he was afraid of Heyan. He looked at her through the fence of the iron prison and asked eagerly, "can you really help me out?"

He Yan smiles and nods.He hesitated for a moment and then said slowly, "I knew that for a long time."

When did Xu Zhiheng know that he Yan was general Feihong, in fact, shortly after general Feihong returned to Beijing. At that time, he was not a scholar of Hanlin. Although Xu's family was literate, he was not able to hold the position at his age. Today, most of the Chinese ministers in the court are Xu Jingfu's students. Sometimes when they climb up, their talent is secondary. If they don't have connections, sometimes they can't make it out for a lifetime.

When he was young, he had a good reputation as a child prodigy. As he grew older, people held him too high, so he looked at himself very high, just like a cage, and unconsciously trapped himself.

In the official career of temporary obstacles, so that Xu Heng heart depression. Mrs. Xu, seeing that he was depressed, thought that with his age, it was time to find a marriage. Mrs. Xu is also a shrewd person. She picks and picks the young lady from the second room of the he family, the cousin of the newly appointed general Feihong in Shuo capital.

The second young lady was not in good health when she was a child. She was sent to Chuang Tzu by her family early to recuperate. She also came back not long ago. Mrs. Xu's abacus is very good. It's good for Xu Zhiheng's official career to become a relative with this new official.

But Xu Zhiheng at that time was not the best choice for Hejia. After all, there are too many talented people of the right age in Beijing, and miss he Er is now a hot cake because of the relationship between He Da Zi and many people want to marry her back.

He family's post, Mrs. Xu took Xu Zhiheng with her. To be a guest is to see each other.

At that time, when he went to he's house for the first time, he happened to be knocked over by his servant's tea, so he went to the darkroom to change his clothes. He didn't expect that some people would come in soon after he entered the house before he could come out.

Xu Zhiheng is neither in advance nor in retreat. It seems that there are two people coming in. It seems that he is behind. Someone talks. It is a woman's voice, clear and pleasant: "elder brother, mother What is the eldest aunt doing? She invited these young masters to the house

"There are so many young masters, can't you look up to them?" It was a man's voice that answered her.

Xu Zhiheng almost immediately understood that it was Miss He ER and his elder brother he Rufei who were talking outside.

He should have stood up and apologized immediately, but he was so bewildered that he not only did not move, but also held his breath as much as possible to teach him to hide better.

Now think about it, the deep meaning of fate, as early as that moment has begun to show slowly.

Xu Zhiheng heard a secret.

"Elder brother, you are so anxious to marry me out, is it because you are afraid that I will tell you that you and I will exchange identities and that I am general Feihong?" "The woman said," I said, I will not say, since I have hidden for so many years, I will always hide. "

"Not so." The man's voice with a faint impatience, "your age, ordinary women, also should get married. Heyan, you are just living the life you should have lived. "

Behind the screen, Xu Zhiheng covers his mouth in horror.

What did he hear? What is the identity exchange? What is Heyan the general of Feihong?

He pinched his arm hard, and the pain on his arm reminded him that it was not a dream.

Xu Zhiheng didn't listen to the quarrel between the two brothers and sisters. Until the two men left, Xu Zhiheng slowly stood straight and looked at the closed door.

He was not stupid, even quite clever. In a few words, he worked out the whole story. He was surprised by the audacity of he family and the outstanding means of Heyan, but more than that, he found an opportunity. A gift from fate.

So he arranged his clothes and went back to the banquet table. Looking at the late Miss He Er, he showed a gentle smile.

Xu Zhiheng found he Rufei.

He Rufei looked at him with an unpredictable expression: "Uncle Xu wants to marry my sister?"

Xu Zhiheng said with a smile, "it is."

"It still needs to be discussed with the elders," he Rufei said, "I can't be the master alone, but I have to see my sister-in-law's mind." Then he turned to go.

Xu Zhiheng said without hesitation: "your sister is a heroine, not to mention more men. I like you very much. I hope general he will become a perfect man."

"What do you say?" He Rufei suddenly looked at him, and his killing intention soared.

"Before I came down to find general he, I wrote a letter and handed it to a friend. If anything happened, the secret letter would spread throughout the capital city of Shuo." Xu Zhiheng said with a smile: "I hope general he will be successful."

He has a plan in mind, and he is sure to get it.

In this way, Xu Zhiheng married Heyan as his wife. It was not long before he married Heyan that he became a scholar of Hanlin as a "dowry gift" given to his sister by general he.

Xu Zhiheng certainly understood that the more secrets he knew, the faster he would die. But he didn't think it would happen to him, because he was a good person to give up. He is a minister of literature, not a general. If he can not help him, he will be a scholar of Hanlin at most. He has to go his own way in the future. As for marrying Heyan Marrying general he's daughter is good for him.He family should also rest assured that, after all, it is better to marry the second miss he than to marry another family who may find out the secret.

"So," He Yan looked at Xu Zhiheng in front of him and said slowly, "you started to ask for the second Miss He, just to make use of her?"

"Use?" Xu Zhiheng shook his head, "no Not to use, even without me, she would marry From the beginning to the end, I didn't do anything to kill her

Xu Zhiheng can't remember Heyan's face.

Although he married Heyan at the beginning, he had a little dislike in his heart. His etiquette from the primary school, let him look down on the rebellious women such as Heyan. He likes gentle and charming women like Ruhe Wan. Not Heyan She is careless, although trying to play the role of a lady, but always unconsciously leak out a bit out of time embarrassment. She can't play music, chess, calligraphy and painting. She can't give him a long face. She can't learn to be happy. On her skin, there are even terrible scars. Sometimes when Xu Zhiheng looks at Heyan, he will think that she used to eat and sleep with other men in the military camp, which is simply unbearable.

Although he is willing to be a "good husband", more often than not, he can't control his dislike.

Fortunately, these days will soon be over. He family brought a bowl of medicine, he Yan drink, blind.

In fact, at that time, Xu Zhiheng was sitting in the next room, watching Heyan drink the bowl of medicine, once had a little sympathy. He family's move is merciless. What's more, how can a blind mistress talk about him when he is taken out?

Fortunately, Heyan is very good and doesn't make much noise. Even if she is blind, she doesn't cry. More often than not, she just sits in a daze. I heard that Heyan had raised a dumb dog in the yard when he was not married. Sometimes Xu Zhiheng felt that Heyan and the dumb yellow dog were very similar. No one cares, live in silence.

If so, that's all. But she worked so hard that even if she was blind, she still made the he family feel threatened, so she died in he wan Ru's hand and Xu's pond.

"I didn't use Heyan," he tried to explain, "I'm protecting her It's all he Rufei's fault, it's all his family's fault! "

He Yan stares at Xu Zhiheng and asks: "in addition to he's family, have you ever seen Miss He er?"

Xu Zhiheng was stunned and shook his head subconsciously: "no, no! The first time I saw Miss He ER was in he Fu

He has forgotten.

This is to be expected.

He Yan found that she was very calm when facing Xu Zhiheng. Maybe when she faced Xu Zhiheng, she always thought that she was facing the youth in Qingyi who she met in the hunting ground when she was young, but maybe from the beginning, they were two people. For Xu Zhiheng, "Heyan" is just an exchange based on interests. What is important is this identity, not the name, nor the person. As long as he can be made a Hanlin scholar, he Yan or he Xinying has no difference.

A human life is just an official post.

She rose slowly.

Xu Zhiheng looked at her action, and finally ignored everything. He grabbed the fence and asked, "I know everything. Can you help me out now?"

His eyes are full of longing, just like when he ran into the secret of he family and wanted to use the secret to add glory to his official career.

He Yan slightly bent down and looked at his eyes: "I lied to you."

Xu Zhiheng was stunned.

"I didn't do anything. I just lied to you." Her eyes were crooked. "It's fair that you lied to me, too."

With that, she stood up and left. Behind her came Xu Zhiheng's angry cry, which he Yan had never heard.

She went out step by step, like leaving the past life step by step. From now on, Hou Heyan of Wu'an has nothing to do with the second miss of he family.

The last question about previous life was finally answered, but he Yan didn't feel much at the moment.

It was as if these people and these things could hardly stand the waves in her heart.

It's just The heart is empty.

At the gate outside the prison, there was a man with his back to her. His posture was as straight as his sword on his waist. He was looking at the snow under the eaves, revealing a beautiful outline.

He Yan stood in situ looking at the back, unconsciously, her heart was slowly filled, as if unable to step on the ground of nothingness, finally in this moment has a real feeling. Find a point in the journey, find no light.

He Yan walked over and gently called him, "Xiao Jue."

He looked back, looked at Heyan and asked, "finished?"

He Yan nodded.

Tomorrow is the day of execution. There is nothing to say between her and he Rufei, and he Yuansheng and his wife. But Xu Zhiheng still wants to find out when he discovered his identity. So Yang Xiao Jue brought her here and met Xu Zhiheng for the last time."It's been so long." Xiao Jue frowned.

"Long?" He Yanqi said: "I don't think it's long. This is very economical... " A glance, see Xiao Jue's face, he Yan timely shut his mouth, silent for a moment, she quietly pulled Xiao Jue's sleeve: "you are angry again?"

"What to say to that kind of person." Xiao Jue turned and walked forward, and he Yan ran after him. "There's nothing to say, but I think it's too cheap for him to just forget it. So I said I was a fierce ghost coming back for revenge and scared him half to death. Am I very strong? " She talks nonsense.

"Don't lie."

"I didn't lie to you, it's true. You should look at the look on his face that was just scared by me... "

The girl was chattering around, and the melancholy when she just came out was gone. He looked in the eyes, the corner of his mouth slightly tilted, deliberately ignored her, let her talk nonsense.

"Xiao Jue, this habit of being angry is not good. You should change it."

"I'm not angry."

"You're not angry. You're just not happy."

“……”

"Xiao Jue, Xiao Jue!"

"For what."

She grabbed the corner of his sleeve. "Nothing."
