lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of the rebirth actress!
The case of General Feihong caused an uproar throughout the city of Shuojing. The soldiers and civilians who had been favored by General Feihong spontaneously went to the palace to beat the drum and petition, asking for a thorough investigation of the truth. General Feihong had a good reputation among the sergeants. As soon as the truth came out, Hexu's second family could be regarded as guilty of public anger.
Emperor Wen Xuan handed this case to Dali Temple, and within a few days, He Yuanliang couldn't bear to force a confession and tell the truth about it. The officers and soldiers in the He family also found many evidences of He Rufei's relationship with the Utuo people. After this case, the He family deceived the emperor, pretended to receive meritorious services, collaborating with the enemy and treason, and punished several crimes together, except for General Feihong’s sister-in-law He. Out of the shadow of the heart, there are countless deaths. The main culprit, He Rufei, was extremely sinful, and he co-ordinated Ling Chi and escorted him to the city where he was executed at 120 dollars.
As for the Hanlin bachelor's Xu family, except for Xu Zhiheng's death, all the males were exiled, and the female relatives were not slaves.
The case was resolved quickly. Upon learning of the result, the people all clapped their hands and cheered, accusing the two families of Hexu that they deserved it.
On the day before his execution, in prison, Xu Zhiheng looked at the rotten food in front of him, and he stubbornly refused to move his chopsticks.
On the last meal on Huangquan Road, the other condemned prisoners had wine and food, but he had nothing. It was because even the jailers felt that Xu Zhiheng's actions were too cruel and ruthless. There were many people who received the favor of General Feihong, and now even for the dead General He, there are many people who don't let Xu Zhiheng get better.
The jailer laughed at him and said: "Why doesn't Uncle Xu eat? After today, I won't have to eat anymore. I advise Uncle Xu to not pick and choose."
Hearing this, Xu Zhiheng got excited, rushed to the cell door, grabbed the railing of the cell door, and looked at the jailer outside: "No...I won't die! I'll give you money, and you will find someone for me. Tell them to rescue me! I will give you money!"
"Okay," the jailer looked at him with a grin, "Who does Uncle Xu want the younger one to look for?"
Who are you looking for?
Xu Zhiheng was stunned suddenly.
The He family has fallen along with him, and He is hard to protect himself if he is not. The colleague he had made with their family in the past would have long since been shunned, for fear of causing trouble to his upper body. No one can save him.
Xu Zhiheng collapsed weakly to the ground. In despair, he felt unwilling and murmured: "Why? Obviously I was not the one who killed... Obviously I didn't do anything!"
"Did you really do nothing?" A voice rang out from the darkness, and Xu Zhiheng suddenly raised his eyes, and saw someone slowly appear in front of him, his whole body gathered up and down under the black cloak. He was overjoyed at first, thinking that someone had come to save himself, but the next moment, the surprise turned into fear, because the man took off the cap of the cloak and revealed a face.
It is Wu'an Hou Heyan.
Xu Zhiheng was taken aback, and quickly backed away until he reached the root of the wall, and said vigilantly: "Don't come over...Don't come over!"
The jailer has already left. He Yan looked at the embarrassed man. Xu Zhiheng looked like he was afraid of her, staring at her as if he was looking at a ghost crawling out of hell, full of horror.
He Yan has never seen Xu Zhiheng like this. Whether it was the young man in Tsing Yi who pulled her up from the snow and helped her get her burden back with a smile when she was fourteen, or the uncle Xu, who smiled gently at her after marrying him, and the shaggy beard in front of her, The man who is frightened is completely different. Even if He Wanru led someone to drown himself back then, Xu Zhiheng never appeared from beginning to end.
She saw Xu Zhiheng when she was beautiful, and Xu Zhiheng who looked like a human, but Xu Zhiheng who was in prison was like this.
He Yan was a little disappointed.
Just like a general, if he died in the hands of an opponent equal to him, he would not regret it, but if he was so far away from him... it would be embarrassing.
"Don't be afraid." She has a gentle voice, even a little smile, "I'm here, I have something to ask you."
The woman's eyes were bright, and there was no hatred in her eyes, and the smile seemed to confuse Xu Zhiheng, he still did not move, staring at He Yan, hesitated for a long time, and then asked, "What do you want to ask?"
"You..." He Yan smiled, "When did you know that your wife He Yan belongs to General Feihong?"
He Yan couldn't understand this matter. When she married Xu Zhiheng, she thought Xu Zhiheng didn't know anything about herself, and also made up a number of reasons in order to hide the scars on her body. He made up many excuses for the difference between himself and ordinary women. It wasn't until the day of her death that she learned from He Wanru that Xu Zhiheng had known it a long time ago.
Perhaps her covering and hiding in those years looked like a joke in Xu Zhiheng's eyes.
But when did he know about it? Was it after she married into Xu's family, before she married into Xu's family, or earlier? But in that case, why should he marry himself?
Xu Zhiheng looked at her dodgingly, with a trace of caution in his eyes: "Why are you asking this? Who are you?"
"I am the one who can save you out." He Yan said softly.
Xu Zhiheng's eyes lit up: "Help me out?" He walked a few steps forward, as if afraid of He Yan again, looking at her through the iron prison fence, and eagerly asked: "You can really save me Go out?"
He Yan smiled and nodded.
He hesitated for a while, then slowly said: "I already knew it."
When did Xu Zhiheng know that He Yan was General Feihong, in fact, it was not long after General Feihong returned to Beijing. At that time, he was not a Hanlin bachelor. Although the Xu family was a scholar, the position of a Hanlin bachelor was not something he could climb at his age. Most of the Chinese ministers are now Xu Jingfu's disciples. Sometimes when they climb up, their talents are secondary. If there is no line, sometimes they won't make it out for a lifetime.
He had the reputation of being a child prodigy when he was young, and as he grew older, when people held him too high, he himself regarded himself very high, like a cage, unknowingly trapping himself severely.
The temporary obstacles in the official career made Xu Zhiheng feel depressed. Mrs. Xu was depressed when he saw him, thinking that given his age, it was time to find a marriage. Mrs. Xu is also a shrewd person, picking and picking, she picked the newly-appointed cousin of General Feihong, the young lady from the second room of the He family in the city of Shuojing.
This second young lady was in poor health when she was young, and she was sent to Zhuangzi to recuperate by her family early, and she came back not long ago. Mrs. Xu's abacus is very good, and being a relative of the nobility of the imperial court is beneficial to Xu Zhiheng's career.
But at that time, Xu Zhiheng was not actually the best choice for the He family. After all, there are too many talents of the right age in Beijing, and Miss He Er now, because of the relationship with Young Master He, is the sweet potato, and there are too many people who want to marry her back.
Ms. Xu took Xu Zhiheng with the post under Hejia. Saying to be a guest is actually looking at each other.
It was the first time he went to He's house at that time. He happened to be knocked over by the young man and went to the darkroom to change clothes. He didn't expect that soon after he entered, someone would come in before he had time to come out.
Xu Zhiheng did not advance, nor did he retreat. It was two people who came in. It seemed that they didn’t notice that he was behind. Someone was talking. It was a woman's voice, clear and sweet: "Big brother, mother... What, these young masters are invited to the house!"
"There are so many princes, don't you have a good opinion of them?" It was a man's voice who answered her.
Xu Zhiheng understood it almost immediately. It was probably Miss He Er and his elder brother He Rufei who spoke outside.
He should have stood up and apologized right away, but the ghosts and goddesses not only did not move, but also held his breath as much as possible to teach himself to hide better.
Think about it now, the deep meaning of fate has already begun to slowly appear at that moment.
Xu Zhiheng heard a secret.
"Big brother, you are so anxious to marry me out. Is it because you are afraid that I will say that you and I will exchange identities and I am General Feihong?" The woman said, "I said it, I won't say it Yes, since I have been hiding for so many years, I will keep hiding."
"Not so." The man's voice was slightly impatient, "An ordinary woman at your age should also be married. He Yan, you are just living the life you should have lived."
Behind the screen, Xu Zhiheng covered his mouth in horror.
What did he hear? What exchange of identities, what He Yan is General Feihong?
He squeezed his arm severely, and the pain in the arm reminded him that this was not a dream.
Xu Zhiheng didn't even listen to what the quarrel between the brother and sister behind was. It was not until the two of them left that Xu Zhiheng slowly stood up straight and looked at the closed door.
He is not stupid, he is even quite clever, in a few words, he can figure out the ins and outs of the matter. He was surprised with the courage of the He Family, and He Yan's outstanding methods, but even more, it made him discover an opportunity. A gift from a destiny.
So he tidied up his clothes, returned to the banquet table, and looked at the belated Miss He Er with 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 smiled and said: "Exactly."
"This matter still needs to be discussed with the elders," He Rufei said, "I can't be the lord alone. It depends on the mind of the sister." After that, he turned to leave.
Xu Zhiheng said unhurriedly: "Lingmei is a heroine, not to mention being a man. She loves her very much, and hopes the beauty of General He as an adult."
"What did you say?" He Rufei looked at him abruptly, his killing intent skyrocketing in his eyes.
"Before I came down to find General He, I wrote a letter and handed it to my friends. If anything happens, the secret letter will spread throughout the city of Shuojing." Xu Zhiheng smiled and said, "I hope that General He will succeed."
He knows how to do it, he is sure to win.
In this way, Xu Zhiheng married He Yan as his wife. Not long before he married He Yan, he became a Hanlin bachelor as a "dowry gift" given by General He to his sister.
Wealth and wealth are in danger. Of course, Xu Zhiheng understands that the more secrets he knows, the faster he will die. But he doesn't think that this kind of thing will happen to him, because he is a person who just accepts what he sees. He was a civil servant, not a military commander. He Rufei was able to help him, and at best he was a Hanlin bachelor. He has to walk on his own in the future. As for marrying He Yan...marrying General He's daughter will benefit him a lot.
The He family should also rest assured, after all, instead of marrying Miss He Er to another family who might find a secret, it is better to marry him who has a need for the He family.
"So," He Yan looked at Xu Zhiheng in front of him, and slowly said: "You started by begging to marry Miss He Er, just to take advantage of her?"
"Using?" Xu Zhiheng shook his head, "No...no use, even without me, she would marry someone...from start to finish, it was not me who killed her, I did nothing."
Xu Zhiheng has a face that can't remember He Yan.
Even though he married He Yan at the beginning, he was a little bit disgusted in his heart. His etiquette and rules since elementary school made him look down on He Yan and other apostate women. He likes docile, coquettish, women like He Wanru. And not He Yan... She is very carefree. Although she tries her best to act as a lady, she will always reveal some untimely cramps unconsciously. She doesn't know how to play, calligraphy, and calligraphy, she can't give him a long face, and she can't learn to tactfully embrace her. There are even terrible scars on her skin. Sometimes when Xu Zhiheng looked at He Yan, he would think that she had eaten and slept with other men in the barracks, which was simply unbearable.
Although he is willing to be a "good husband", more often than not, even he himself cannot control his dislike.
Fortunately, this kind of day will soon end. The He family brought a bowl of medicine, and after He Yan drank it, he went blind.
In fact, at that time, Xu Zhiheng was sitting in the next room, watching He Yan drank the bowl of medicine, he had a little sympathy. The He family's move was ruthless. What's more, what would a blind mistress talk about behind others?
Fortunately, He Yan is very good and doesn't make much noise. Even if she is blind, she doesn't cry much. Most of the time, she just sits in a daze in silence. I heard that when He Yan was not married, he had raised a dumb dog in the yard. Sometimes Xu Zhiheng felt that He Yan and the dumb yellow dog were actually very similar. No one cares, live silently.
If so, that's all. But she tried too hard. Even if she tried so hard that she was blind, the He family felt threatened, so she died in He Wanru's hands, and died in the Xu family's pond.
"I didn't use He Yan," he tried to defend her, "I'm protecting her... It's all He Rufei's fault, it's all He Family's fault!"
He Yan stared at Xu Zhiheng and asked, "Apart from He's house, have you seen Miss He Er?"
Xu Zhiheng was taken aback and shook his head subconsciously: "No, no! The first time I saw Miss He Er, it was in He Mansion."
He has forgotten.
This is expected.
He Yan found that she was very calm now when facing Xu Zhiheng. Maybe when she faced Xu Zhiheng, she always thought that she was facing the Tsing Yi boy who she met on the hunting ground when she was a little boy, but it turned out that maybe from the beginning, they were two people. For Xu Zhiheng, "He Yan" is just an exchange product based on interests. What is important is the identity, not the name, and not the person. As long as he can become a Hanlin bachelor, it makes no difference whether it is He Yan or He Xinying.
A life is nothing but an official position.
She stood up slowly.
Xu Zhiheng watched her movements, finally ignored everything, grabbed the fence, and asked: "I have said everything I know, can you save me now?"
His eyes are full of longing, just like he met the secrets of the He family back then, wanting to use the secrets to add light to his official career.
He Yan bent down slightly and looked into his eyes: "I lied to you."
Xu Zhiheng was taken aback.
"I didn't do anything, I just lied to you." Her eyes crooked, "You lied to me too, it's fair."
After speaking, she straightened up and left. Xu Zhiheng's angry shout came from far behind, and He Yan had never heard it.
She walked out step by step, as if she was leaving the past life step by step. From now on, Wu'an Hou Heyan has nothing to do with the second lady of the He family.
The last question about the previous life was finally answered, but He Yan didn't feel much at this moment.
It's like these people and these things, no matter how hard she can stand the waves in her heart.
It's just...it's empty.
At the gate outside the prison, there was a person standing with his back facing her, standing as tall as a saber around his waist, looking sideways to see the snow piled under the eaves, showing a beautiful outline.
He Yan stood on the spot looking at the figure from behind, unknowingly, her heart was slowly filled, as if she couldn't step on the emptiness of the ground, and finally got a sense of reality at this moment. The traveler who couldn't find the way finally found a little light in the aimless search.
He Yan walked over and called him softly: "Xiao Jue."
He turned his head, glanced at He Yan, and asked: "Done?"
He Yan nodded.
Tomorrow is the day of execution. There is nothing left to say between her and He Rufei, and He Yuansheng and his wife, but about Xu Zhiheng, after all, I still want to figure out when he found out. Own identity. So I asked Xiao Jue to bring her here to meet Xu Zhiheng for the last time.
"How can I say it for so long." Xiao Jue frowned.
"Long time?" He Yan said strangely: "How do I feel that it didn't take long. This is already very saving..." At a glance, seeing Xiao Jue's face, He Yan shut her mouth in a timely manner, and she was silent for a moment. Twitched Xiao Jue's sleeve: "Are you angry again?"
"What can I say to that kind of person." Xiao Jue turned and walked forward, and He Yan chased him. "There is nothing to say, but after thinking about it, I think it's too cheap for him. . So I said that I was a ghost who came back to take revenge and scared him to death. Am I very powerful?" She scorned casually.
"Don't lie."
"I didn't lie to you, it's true. You should look at his face just scared by me..."
The girl was chattering around by her side, but the depression when she just came out was gone. He looked in his eyes, the corners of his mouth curled slightly, and deliberately ignored her, letting her talk nonsense.
"Xiao Jue, your habit of getting angry at every turn is not good, you need to change it."
"I'm not angry."
"You are not angry, you are just unhappy."
"..."
"Xiao Jue Xiao Jue!"
"What are you doing."
She grabbed the corner of his sleeve, "It's nothing."
