Riding the Pheonix Chapter 77: Key

"Ming San embodies all the talents of the Ming family for two generations." Yang Shu said, "Both the two sons of Prime Minister Ming are mediocre, and the rest of the six grandchildren have ordinary qualifications. Only Ming San, since Very smart."

"He ended up at the age of twenty. He had outstanding literary talent and should have been ranked No. 1. But because of his background, he was only ranked tenth. Everyone who has worked with him praised him for being humble and polite. He is an ancestor. The wind."

"He is inconspicuous in the court. He is not eye-catching at first glance, but his official career is very smooth." Yang Shu sighed, "He is a smart man! He knows that with his background, his sharpness is too obvious. It’s not a good thing, it’s just a way of moistening things quietly.”

"Is there any evidence that he is involved with Liuyang County Prince?"

Yang Shu shook his head: "He and Prince Liuyang are acquainted, but they met openly at poetry gatherings and other occasions, and there was no personal relationship. Therefore, we did not suspect him at first."

"So, he does things very cleanly."

Yang Shu praised: "Yes, it's very clean. So when nothing happened, he took advantage of the turmoil in the royal court to fake his death and get out neatly. Who would doubt his death? That's the north Hu, we are so far away, and there is such a thing as turmoil in the royal court. Even if he is resurrected in the future, there will be a ready-made reason. We are so far away, and the news of his death was wrongly transmitted!"

The more I thought about him, the more I admired him: "He is a character, no wonder even Geng San fell into trouble."

Mingwei thought for a while and took out a golden hairpin from his arms.

"What are you doing?"

Yang Shu saw her holding the gold hairpin and thought to herself, he didn't use any hands or feet, so he wouldn't use it to **** him, right?

Ming glanced at him slightly, held the hairpin and twisted it gently. There was actually another small world hidden in the layers of golden hairpin.

"This is..."

"The key to the twelve-chain lock." She stretched out her hand and fiddled with it a few times, and the key changed its appearance. She fiddled with it a dozen times before stopping.

Mingwei pressed the hairpin back: "Have you ever heard of Tianji Pavilion?"

Yang Shu thought for a while: "It seems to be a Taoist who is proficient in mechanisms."

"As early as in the previous dynasty, Tianji Pavilion had its inheritance interrupted because of its involvement in the dispute over imperial power." Ming Wei said, "These twelve chain locks are the secret skill of Tianji Pavilion. It is based on the twelve earthly branches and contains With thousands of variations, it can be said to be the most difficult lock in the world. Moreover, every time Tianji Pavilion makes a pair of keys, the blueprint will be destroyed, and only its owner knows how to match them."

Yang Shu was surprised: "It's so rare? How could it be in your hands?"

Ming Wei said calmly: "My mother gave this to me before she was alive. She said it was from Ming San."

This short sentence contains many mysteries.

Yang Shu blurted out: "Weapons and military resources!"

"Not necessarily." Mingwei said, "But I am sure that the lock that this key matches must hide something very important."

……

Mingsheng looked indifferent, listening to the quarrels of his parents coming from the house.

"What right do you have to miss her? Aren't all the hardships she has suffered in her life caused by you? Your brother wants to marry her, but you don't dare to fight. You chose not to fight in the first place, so why are you showing off now?"

The fourth lady’s voice was fierce, as if the person who had been cautious, gentle and considerate in front of the fourth master in the past ten years was another person.

"Say it? Why don't you say it? Aren't you very angry? Scold me! Hit me!"

What finally came out was the cold voice of the Fourth Master: "I don't care about you."

"Ming Chang!" The fourth lady wanted to argue with him, shouting at the top of her lungs, "You coward! You think I don't know what you think? What you think is that although we are twins, you are not as good as your brother." Too many, only he is worthy of her, not you!"

"Yes! How do you compare with your brother? He has been very smart since he was a child, and everyone said that he is the hope of the Ming family. And you? Your brother is going to take the Chunwei exam, and you can't even pass the provincial examination. !So, when your brother wanted to marry her, you hesitated. You felt that fighting with him would be humiliating yourself! She is so beautiful, and she should marry a perfect person like your brother. But you didn't expect it. ! You didn’t expect your brother to die so early!”

"So she became a widow, so she was bullied by the sixth child and hanged to death! Now that you know it, don't you feel heartbroken? Why didn't you find out earlier? Then maybe she wouldn't have to die. But, she is dead now You don't even dare to avenge her, you can only hide in the house and be sad! You are a coward, a complete coward!"

The fourth master held the door and stood indifferently.

That's wrong. He said in his heart.

He had discovered it a long time ago, but could do nothing.

Because I am not qualified.

The most qualified person has acquiesced, what qualifications does he have!

Maybe it would be best if she died, so she wouldn't have to suffer anymore.

Outside the house, Mingsheng found himself surprisingly calm.

Maybe it’s because you’ve realized it a long time ago, right?

In the eyes of others, he has a perfect family, but Mingsheng knows that this is just a facade.

My father's wandering mind has never been left in this home.

My mother was resentful, but she just tolerated it again and again for more than ten years.

They seem to be inseparable, but they share the same bed but have different dreams.

The surface is so perfect ~IndoMTL.com~, but it is so miserable inside.

"Ms. sir! Husband! Master!" the fourth lady shouted miserably, "can you look at me squarely? Even if you scold her like this, you don't even bother to be angry with me? Do you want me to call her a bitch? That's why you react? No matter how nice she is, I am your wife!"

Mingsheng blinked, not knowing whether he should feel sorry for his mother or stand by and watch.

"I know you won't." The fourth master's soft voice came over, "It's my fault that I have caused you so much pain all these years. But, it's too late. I originally thought that I could be a good husband. , Good father, I really thought I could do it. But, ten years ago... I couldn't do it anymore."

She is happy, so he can get away. When she was trapped in the quagmire, he was trapped in a guilt he couldn't escape.

When he knew this, it was already very late and the matter was irreversible.

He went to find his second brother angrily, but was taken to the small yard and saw the person he thought was dead.

From then on, he was never alone.

He is just a puppet.

"Stop worrying about this matter." His voice was extremely calm, even with a little sympathy, "The child is so old, why bother with yourself? It's not worth it to embarrass yourself for a coward like me. ”

At this moment, the fourth lady finally burst into tears: "You are so cruel, you are so cruel!"

His sympathy was the sharpest dagger, piercing into her heart and shattering her last hope.

This kind of staying out of the situation is the real decisiveness.

It’s not that he won’t give it, it’s that he can’t do it.

The most difficult thing in the world is just not being able to do it.

Even if the seas and rocks are shattered and the earth collapses, even if she is right in every possible way and he is wrong in every possible way.

If you can’t do it, you just can’t do it.
