How can I bow my head and serve the powerful officials?

Chapter 266: Hunger strike is impossible, this is forcing him to use a big move

Perhaps knowing that he had gone too far, Xie Jinyu pursed his lips and said nothing. In the dim room, one could not see the emotions in his eyes. Only the rustling sound of clothes could be heard, followed by footsteps. Xie Jinyu opened the door and left the Tai Chi Hall.

Xie Chengze couldn't sleep either. He lit a candle on the bedside and paced back and forth in the room restlessly.

At this moment, Xie Chengze realized that he could no longer sit and wait for death.

The consequence of being gentle and kind is to be eaten by the wild beasts trapped in the deep forest.

The 19-year-old Xie Jinyu might not have any improper thoughts about him, but Xie Chengze had no idea what the reborn Xie Jinyu looked like.

He is different from Shen Yuan, which completely overturned Xie Chengze's cognition.

"Let me think about it..."

Xie Chengze put his hand on his chin and walked around the room for a long, long time...

He flung open the door and said to the guard outside, "I want to see Cao Que!"

Perhaps the prince had given some instructions, and one of the two guards at the door really left. Soon, Cao Que, who was sleeping soundly, was called over.

"Lord Cao!" Xie Chengze said anxiously, as if he had found a life-saving straw, "Go and tell the queen quickly! The prince has evil intentions towards me!"

Cao Que was stunned for a moment when he heard this, "What kind of conspiracy is that?"

Was it the plot to usurp the throne? Or was it the imprisonment of him?

Seeing Xie Chengze lower his head and remain silent, his whole body gradually became awkward. Cao Que's body trembled and his expression became unnatural. "Oh, oh, so that's it. I will tell the Queen."

A letter soon arrived from Cao Que, and by the way, he also brought the things that Xie Chengze had asked him to bring.

Cao Qingran asked Cao Que to deliver a letter to him, which contained only a few words:

"I told you to run, but you didn't."

Xie Chengze: ...

The crazy sound of a groundhog exploded in his mind.

How did he know that this was what she meant when she said "leave the capital"?

You ancient people, is there anything you can't just say? Do you have to use riddles?

I just don't want to see him well!

Xie Chengze was so angry that he burned the letter.

He wants to go on a hunger strike! He wants to resist! He wants to be a human being!

……

……

……

Forget it, instead of being a human being myself, let Xie Jinyu be a human being first.

Woo woo woo, the rice smells so good.

Xie Chengze was chewing the snack in his mouth. The pastries on the silver plate were all identical, as if they were made with obsessive-compulsive disorder. One could tell who made them at a glance.

"Is it delicious?" Xie Jinyu used her fingertips to remove the crumbs from the corner of his mouth, her brows dark and gentle, "As long as Second Brother behaves well, you can have it in the future."

This was a threat. If he didn't obey, he would kill Su Qinghe.

Hearing the hidden meaning, Xie Chengze choked for a moment, drank a sip of tea to smooth his throat, and then nodded, "Second brother doesn't hate you, but Jinyu, don't hurt innocent people."

"Second brother doesn't like tyrants. This is Second brother's bottom line."

"Of course, it would have been better if what happened last night hadn't happened."

Xie Jinyu stared at him silently. Just when Xie Chengze thought that the other party was not going to make a promise, Xie Jinyu put her arms around his waist, picked him up and carried him to the bed.

"it is good."

He promised, "As long as Second Brother only has eyes for me, I will not be a tyrant."

Xie Chengze breathed a sigh of relief.

He arched the edge of the bed, indicating that Xie Jinyu should sleep inside, and then took out the script that he had specially asked Cao Que to bring from under the pillow.

This is the only copy of Hu Lai.

Xie Chengze leaned against the erected pillow, pulled the quilt for Xie Jinyu, and began to turn to the first page of the storybook. There was a faint scent of ink on it, and one could tell at a glance that the storybook was newly written.

He said in a very gentle voice, "Brother will tell you a bedtime story."

Xie Jinyu hugged his thighs in a dependent manner and closed her eyes slightly, "Okay."

Then, the young man read out the story word by word in a soft, hypnotic voice, "This story is called, 'There's no good ending for a yandere who does fake orthopedics.'"

The story is very depressing. The boy, who was severely beaten by his parents since childhood, set fire to his parents and killed them. The boy was young and ignorant, and did not know that the spread of the spring fire would also burn down the neighbor's house. The neighbor brother who was very kind to him also lost his parents that night.

The young neighbor thought it was an accident and felt sorry for the boy's experience, so he adopted the boy as his own brother and took care of him to make a living. However, he didn't expect that because of the brothers' handsome looks, they were sold to the Elephant House by bad guys.

The cruel boy was not afraid of beatings and abuse, and often caused headaches for the pimps at Xiangguguan. The young man was literate and had a sweet mouth, so he successfully won the pimps' favor. He wrote poems for the prostitutes in the brothel and made many of them famous.

He finally saved up enough money to redeem the boy, but the pimp didn't want to waste his time on the boy anymore, so he drove him away.

Since he was young, the young man wanted to study and become an official, and do practical things for the poor people. Later, he wanted to climb higher, to a position where all young people could escape from his clutches. But he could no longer escape. Everyone knew that he was from Xiangguguan, and he could no longer pursue a career in officialdom.

So he placed all his hopes on the young boy, hoping that he would learn to read and write, and hoping that he would be able to climb to a position of power.

The boy lived up to everyone's expectations and sat in that position.

However, the first thing the young man did after gaining power was not to benefit the world, but to use his power to book the Xianggu Pavilion and buy out the young man's future time to receive guests.

At that time, in order to help the boy climb higher, the young man contacted many officials by relying on his identity as a talented and honest man. He gave them advice and asked them to open a back door for the boy, but the boy thought that the young man was no longer clean and that the young man would rather humble himself and please those dirty-minded officials than touch him.

He obviously indulged and doted on him so much, but he was unwilling to touch him.

The boy got angry... huh?

As Xie Chengze was reading, he felt that something was wrong with the plot. He flipped through the last few thousand words of Liu Bei literature and silently chose to skip it.

Xie Chengze really couldn't understand why Hu Lai, a grown man with 28 concubines, could write about the love affairs of two grown men in such detail.

too frightening.

Perhaps since ancient times, novelists have been omnipotent.

"The boy didn't understand the young man's kindness and love. The young man didn't understand why the young man tortured him so much and why he regarded him as a dead object that could be controlled at will, rather than a person with his own self." Xie Chengze cleared his throat. "In the end, the young man who was driven crazy stood on the top of Xianggu Pavilion and jumped down."

"The huge blood flower blooming in the white snow is more red and dazzling than the plum blossom jade hairpin that the young man bought for him when he received his first month's salary after becoming an official."

Xie Chengze lowered his head, looked at Xie Jinyu who had opened her eyes and was staring at him, and ruffled his hair, "Jinyu, what did you learn from the story?"

Xie Jinyu lowered his eyelids and said in a deep voice, "Second brother is threatening me. If I keep you imprisoned, you will jump off the building and commit suicide."

Xie Chengze: “…”

Rotten wood cannot be carved!

Children cannot be taught!

A wall of dung cannot be plastered!

Damn it, don’t force him to use his ultimate move!!!
