"My lord, why do you think this 'redemption money' is life-saving money, not a 'life-saving note'? Punishment is the knife that kills people without blood." Perhaps no one under Shen Tang's account understands the darkness of the human heart better than Gu Chi. He smiled and said, "Qiu Dalang disregards the previous suspicions and distributes money to save people. Can Qiu Cheng, who once fought with his brother and murdered his own brother, accept this rescue?"
Qiu Dalang may really save his younger brother regardless of past suspicions, but it may also be trying to figure out Qiu Wenyan's temper-proud like Qiu Cheng, he will not accept alms from Qiu Dalang; suspicious like Qiu Cheng, and he will not believe that Qiu Dalang is sincere. save yourself.
The point is not what Qiu Dalang does.
The focus is on Qiu Cheng's reaction.
Qiu Cheng died, and Qiu Dalang's revenge was avenged.
Qiu Cheng is active, and Qiu Dalang earns a lot of fame.
Shen Tang stroked the cold gold in his hand.
"If I were an old rookie in the color criticism, I should be ashamed to accept it. At worst, I would go back and bow my head to Qiu Dalang, and become a rich man with my tail clamped. Not good. He will probably be panicked and angry. Worried that Qiu Dalang has other plans for doing this, he is angry that the situation of the two brothers is reversed, and he has to be reduced to Qiu Dalang's charity to survive..."
"Yes, people are used to judging others by themselves." Gu Chi's thin lips curled up, and he sneered, "What kind of person you are, everyone thinks you are like the same kind of person. Since Qiu Cheng is a hypocrite, the real brother in his eyes How could he be an honest gentleman? My lord, are you interested in making a bet with Chi? Let's bet on what will happen to him if the news of the redeemer falls into Qiu Cheng's ears?"
Shen Tang now has PTSD about "gambling".
but-
Big gambling hurts the body, but small gambling makes you happy.
"What's the good of winning a bet?"
Gu Chi said: "Let the Lord decide."
Shen Tang immediately took the case: "Okay, you said it!"
The quick reaction seems to be afraid that Gu Chi will go back on his word.
The two agreed to write on the palms of their hands, and showed them at the same time. Seeing the result, Shen Tang was disappointed and said: "Oh, the bet is impossible."
Because they all wrote the word 【死】.
Shen Tang joked: "I originally thought that if I win the bet, you will be allowed to work overtime in the government office for ten and a half months unconditionally, and the monthly salary will belong to me. I have never thought that you and I have a heart-to-heart, an answer. Wangchao, did you listen to my heart?" Just wrote it?"
"No, it's a tacit understanding."
The Qiu family sent the money for redemption, and Qiu Cheng had to die.
If you don't die, you have to die!
Shen Tang closed the wooden box with a snap.
Greeting the small official from the government office: "Go to Tangyuan and tell Sepi Laocai...ah, no, it's to tell Wen Yangong a good news. The Qiu family sent the ransom money. He has regained his freedom. Send someone to **** him back to the Qiu family."
Shen Tang read the accent in the last sentence.
"This matter is very important, we must tell the truth."
Some blame, there must be someone to carry it.
Shen Tang and Gu Chi's eyes met wrong, and they knew each other.
The little official took the order: "The lower official knows."
The location where the prisoners were held was not too far away.
Qiucheng's family lives alone in a courtyard.
The redemption money was sent to Xiaocheng in the morning, the news was delivered to Tangyuan at noon, and Qiu Cheng, he killed himself with a sword at night.
The details were as expected by Shen Tang and the others.
When the little official appeared with joy on his face, Qiu Cheng and his wife felt thumping in their hearts, worrying about Shen Tang's tricks to toss people—the sending of Miao Shu's body before could make them toss and turn for several nights. Qiu Cheng was once the leader of a faction, and he was still able to hold on.
"I don't know why the messenger is here?"
The little official crossed his hands and saluted: "Congratulations, Duke Wen Yan."
Qiu Cheng raised his eyebrows: "Oh, where does the joy come from?"
The little official smiled and said: "Just this morning, the Qiu family sent Wen Yangong's redemption money, and the lord sent an officer over to talk to Wen Yangong. The lord also said that tomorrow I will send someone to send you and your family back to the Qiu family. Wen Yan My lord, you will be free soon."
Unexpectedly, Qiu Cheng was not as happy as expected.
Instead, he grabbed the little official by the sleeve, and asked him, "You said the ransom money sent by the Qiu family? Was it someone else?"
He mentioned several surname families in a row.
The little official was at a loss: "It's not them, it's the Qiu family."
The eldest lady pursed her red lips tightly, worried.
Qiu Cheng asked for details again: "Do you have a letter?"
The little official shook his head: "Nothing."
Qiu Cheng pondered over and over again what he had brought the little official, and he didn't even know when the little official would leave. When he came back 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, you scared the concubine to death."
"Call—"
Qiu Cheng let out a long sigh.
Spirit collapsed visibly with the naked eye.
He sighed: "Da Fang has murderous intentions, if it falls into his hands, hehe, I'm afraid it will be a shameful death."
The eldest lady was startled and said, "Why did Lord Lang make such a statement?"
Qiu Cheng suddenly said sharply: "You don't know the methods of the boss? If he hadn't used such despicable methods back then, how could he be the one who should be adopted? Obviously all the elders of the clan liked me, but in the end it was him who was chosen !"
At that time, there was no one in the eldest house of the Qiu family to inherit the incense, so he had no choice but to adopt the heir of the second house. Erfang has two children, Qiu Dalang and Qiu Erlang, also known as Qiucheng. They are all descended from the wife of the second wife, and are brothers of the same mother.
Adoption, generally adopt the youngest instead of grabbing the eldest son. Qiu Cheng is smarter than his elder brother, he was enlightened earlier, and he is also deeply liked by the clan elders. He thought that he was the right candidate, and before the result came out, he still wanted to lead Qiu Shi to go higher and further.
Unexpectedly, it was Qiu Dalang who was taken away.
This reality gave Qiu Cheng a blow.
The treatment of the two brothers has been very different since then.
The second family’s savings have been squandered by the previous generation, there is not much savings, food and clothing are very tight, and even the servants who serve can’t afford a few, and Qiu Dalang is like a fish in water in the big house, worships famous teachers, is a celebrity, and occupies a high position , enjoying the popularity of thousands of people.
Qiu Cheng racked his brains in order to maintain the basic dignity of the aristocratic family, and his life was stretched, and he felt increasingly resentful.
I don't know when, he had the ferocious thought that it would be better if the boss died, but when he calmed down, he regretted and felt ashamed. He thought he could restrain the demon 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 remorse and shame after calming down became weaker day by day, until I could no longer feel it.
Qiu Dalang took away his life that belonged to him.
Why should he feel guilty?
So, he hibernates and waits for the opportunity.
Until the chaos, Huang Lie gathered the crowd to raise troops.
He also responded to the case by accident, ignoring his elder brother who was still in Zheng Qiao's hands as a hostage. If Zheng Qiao beheaded his elder brother in a fit of rage, he would use Zheng Qiao's head to pay homage to his elder brother's family in the future, which would be considered a complete brotherhood of their life.
However, after all the calculations, he didn't think that the boss's family could escape from death, let alone that he would be defeated in Sibao County and become a prisoner. He urgently needed the boss to give his family money to redeem himself.
The eldest lady offered words of comfort: "Master, according to my concubine's opinion, uncle may...maybe he doesn't mean that... Where is there any unresolvable feud between brothers? At worst, go back and bow your head to uncle. If you admit your mistake, he can still kill you." No?"
Killing his own brother, Qiu Dalang will lose his reputation?
Qiu Cheng shook off her hand: "A woman's opinion!"
The eldest lady was thrown staggering two steps and fell to the ground.
"Escorted back to the Qiu family... Hehe, what a return to the Qiu family... I almost killed his family, he would treat that thing as never happened? If it were you, would you just let it go? The boss is not a good person! He was afraid of me before With soldiers and horses in my hands, I have to be a turtle. Now that I have no soldiers in my hands, once I return to the Qiu family, I am afraid that I will not even be able to control my death."
Qiu Cheng seemed to be stupefied, his eyes were red, and he was panting heavily. This strange look made the eldest lady terrified.
"Master Lang..." she shouted sadly.
"It's impossible for me to lose to him..." Qiu Cheng's eyes fell on the saber. The blade of the sword, which seemed to be extremely heavy, was easily pulled out by him at this moment. The blade reflected his grim face, "I'd rather die, Nor can it be humiliated in his hands."
The blade of the sword is across the front of the neck.
This scene made the lady look silly.
When she came back to her senses, she had exhausted all her strength in her hands and feet, and almost crawled to Qiu Cheng's side with her hands and feet together, raising her hand to cover the neck that was gushing blood. At this time, Qiu Cheng hadn't completely passed away, and his literary energy could prolong his dying time in this world.
"Wait, wait for me to go... He will not dare, dare not neglect...Second room, you, you can, you can find another good, good relationship..."

Whether Qiu Dalang wants Qiucheng to die is hard to say, but Tangmei really wants him to bring the dog... The key is not to blame him.
