Jiapingguan Chronicle

Chapter 831

Second Young Master Chi was sent back to his cell, thanked the two jailers who brought him back, and lay motionless on the slightly cold plank.

Before today, or before the interrogation just now, he never thought that he would become a very ridiculous person.He smiled self-deprecatingly, his father was really not lenient at cheating his son, and he cheated his only two sons into the prison.

Staring at the roof of the prison cell, Second Master Chi's thoughts drifted back to the day Chi Hong was just brought back a few years ago.

He remembered very clearly that there was nothing to do in the yamen that day, and he returned home early, just as his eldest brother was also at home, and the two brothers hadn't chatted together for a long time, so they warmed a pot of wine, drank, enjoyed the snow, and talked on the porch.

Second Young Master Chi sighed softly. At that time, the conflict between him and his eldest brother was not that deep, the gap was not that big, and the two brothers could still talk together.

The two brothers drank two jugs of wine and were in the mood to write a poem. His father came back with a sleepy child in his arms. The imperial physician then carried the child to the main room, taking care of him carefully, completely ignoring the people around him.

Second Young Master Chi wanted to turn over and lie down in another position, but he had no strength at all. He tried several times but failed, so he simply gave up and continued to think about the things that happened many years ago.

When his father thought of their two sons, it was already the next morning, because the child who was carried back finally woke up and the situation improved. Son says hello.

Second Young Master Chi remembered that both he and his eldest brother had asked his father about the child's origin. At that time, his father said that the child was rescued from human traffickers, and the reason why he noticed this child was because he lost it with them My little uncle is very similar. The little uncle has some characteristics, and this child has it. In addition, the child is sick, so I brought him back.

Thinking of this, Second Young Master Chi sneered again. To be honest, he and his elder brother didn't remember any characteristics about his little uncle at all. The two brothers felt that since his father said so, it must have been confirmed. , there is no need to doubt anything.Besides, his father is not the kind of person who just picks up a child and raises it.

Thinking about it now, maybe his father knew at the time that this child had an unusual background and might be able to help him, so he pretended to be a little uncle and brought him back.

Second Young Master Chi shook his head lightly. His father was really unscrupulous in order to achieve his goal. Such a young child, who is still sick, can actually make calculations. It is really not too much to describe it as frenzied. .

"Second Young Master!" The jailer interrupted Chi Second Young Master's memories, he opened the cell door, and walked in with a bowl of hot porridge, "My lord asked the little one to prepare the hot porridge for the second young master, and asked the little one to feed the second young master to drink .”

"..." Second Young Master Chi looked at the jailer standing beside his bed, "Thank you, my lord, for me, and please help me up."

The jailer put down the porridge bowl in his hand, slowly helped Second Master Chi up, sat on the edge of the bed and fed the porridge to Second Young Master Chi to finish.

"One more thing." The jailer looked at the second son of Chi, "The eldest son wants to see you, the prince, the Duke of the country and the general agreed, but the premise is that the younger ones will be watching. The second son , do you want to meet him?"

"Yes!" Second Young Master Chi nodded, "My elder brother and I, it's time to have a good chat."

"Then wait a moment, the younger one will invite the eldest son over."

The jailer left with an empty porridge bowl, and after a while, he and two other guards showed up in Young Master Chi's cell with Chi Rui.

"Brother!" Second Young Master Chi smiled wryly at Chi Rui, "Sit down!"

"Is your body okay?" Chi Rui sat beside Young Master Chi, and reached out to touch his forehead, "Fortunately, there is no fever."

"Brother, I..."

Chi Rui waved his hand at him, "I know what you're going to say, I want to ask why I kept Chi Hong's background from you, don't you?"

"No." Young Master Chi shook his head lightly, "I just want to apologize to my elder brother, I shouldn't listen to you and be obsessed with ghosts."

"Xiao Bo, it's not your fault. Who would have thought that father would cheat his son like this for an outsider?" Chi Rui smiled bitterly. Pushed you in that direction."

"Father knows the two of us very well. He knows that you disapprove of his actions and actions, and he will not shy away from you. Even if you report him, because he has been spreading your rumors outside all the year round, It can't affect him at all. But for me..." Chi Ergong smiled bitterly, "Actually, he doesn't know, and I don't support his things at all." Seeing Chi Rui's surprised expression, he smiled mockingly , "To fool him, we are so old and not in good health. Both of us oppose him, and if we make the old man anxious, aren't we the ones who are unlucky? So, if you object, I can only support him , but I don’t think at all that he can really do those things. I didn’t expect..." He shook his head lightly, "Chi Hong..." Seeing that Chi Rui wanted to say something, he shook his head, "Brother, I I know, you think I'm from my father's side, so you think I know the truth, and I'm helping others, and you don't want to talk to me. But you don't know, they didn't tell me the truth. I didn't know until today that the whole family except me In addition, we all know that Chi Hong is not our family, this feeling of being kept in the dark by everyone... is really not good."

"I really never thought that he would hide it from you." Chi Rui reached out and touched his younger brother's head, "I didn't expect that the things you did were not from your own heart. But that's fine, if you don't Even if you make trouble this time, you won’t be able to understand the truth, will you?”

"Brother is right." Young Master Chi nodded, "I know that elder brother has a lot of opinions on me. He thinks that I do business by hook or by crook, and I don't care about anything for money. In fact... I don't know how I got such a reputation. I want to figure it out too."

"What do you mean?" Chi Rui glanced at the jailer guarding the door, "You don't know what it means? Aren't you in charge of our family's business?"

"I was in charge, but I thought about it carefully..." Young Master Chi snorted, "Someone should be playing tricks behind my back, setting up a trap, waiting for me to jump in by myself."

"You mean Chi Hong?"

"Besides him, I'm afraid there is no one else."

"Where's the evidence?"

"Brother, don't worry, listen to me tell you slowly."
