Chapter 039 The Last Supper
In the martial arts hall, the group was furious, and the generals and officials asked to behead Zhou Charter to show it to the public.
Li Hongzhang narrowed his eyes as if he were asleep.
After being an official in the Qing Dynasty for decades, Li Hongzhang knows a truth that things must be done without water, otherwise, if there is a slight difference, people will be given a handle.
Killing a Zhou Charter is a trivial matter, but killing Zhou Charter in front of Weng Tongqi will leave endless future troubles.
Weng Tongqi's Qing schools are not talking about it now, but it is because of the sensitive embroidery grid. If they hold the handle in their hands in the future, these people will inevitably settle accounts after autumn and shake their heads around about killing Zhou Charter today.
If you don't kill Zhou Charter, the generals will speak mendly, and Minxiu Gege's face can't be passed. Moreover, he is also unwilling.
Li Hongzhang is in a dilemma. Jin knelt to the ground: "Your Excellency, Zhou Charter is a student of Tianjin Martial Arts School and a humble student. Today, he made a speech without saying anything. He offended you and Gege. It is difficult to absolve himself from his responsibility. He asked your excellence to hand over Zhou Charter to a humble position!"
Li Hongzhang opened his eyes and shot two pieces of light: "This matter will be handled by the school in person. It can't be more appropriate. That's settled."
Na Jin asked himself to deal with Zhou Charter, which was a complete relief for Li Hongzhang.
Everyone in the hall was bright-hearted. Li Hongzhang handed over Zhou Charter to Na Jin for processing, which was a plan to kill three birds with.
Li Hongzhang's biggest heart disease is not that Zhou Charter conquered Weihaiwei, but that he is likely to be instructed to show Li Hongzhang's ugliness in public. Behind the scenes, Na Jin is the most suspected.
Li Hongzhang handed over the Zhou Charter to Na Jin. First, he can kill Zhou Charter with the help of Jin. Second, he pushed his responsibility completely and let those Qinglius of Weng Tongqi have nothing to say. Third, it can verify the loyalty of Jin.
And if Jin wants to clear his suspicion, he can only kill Zhou Charter!
Weng Tongqi sneered, but he had to admire Li Hongzhang's old treachery and slippery.
Zhou Charter sat in the cell and waited to die.
It was late at night, and the window cast into the bright moonlight.
The cell of Tianjin Wubei School is actually a confinement room, which was originally used to detain disciplinary students. Zhou Charter committed the deadly crime of killing the head, and the school temporarily changed the confinement room into a cell.
As a death row prisoner, he was handcuffed and shackled. There is also a heavy shackle locked around his neck.
Zhou Charter from the 21st century finally understood that in the Qing Dynasty, officials can cut off the heads of the people, and the imperial relatives can also cut off the heads of the people!
Moreover, there is no need for a reason or a trial. As long as Shangguan is angry and Gege is angry, the reason is enough.
Zhou Charter has accepted his fate.
He doesn't blame Jin. Today, even if Jin doesn't take action, there will be others to cut off his head.
Although Jin is pedantic, as a practitioner of Zhou Charter, he is also conscientious. Although he has taught Zhou Charter a bunch of eight articles that he does not have, he treats Zhou Charter like a strict father, taking care of him everywhere and taking care of him from time to time.
It's better to give this life to Jin than to others.
Zhou Charter just can't figure it out. The Minxiu Gege is so beautiful, his figure is so good, and his whole body is as white as jade without any flaws. How can he kill people without blinking his eyes.
drowned in the 21st century and hacked in the 19th century. Zhou Charter only asked not to travel to the Qing Dynasty again after this death, and not to become a drowning ghost.
If you want to travel, you will become a prince and nobleman, born in Houmen, even if you become a woman, at least you will not be beheaded again.
With a creak, the door of the cell opened, and Cui, the head teacher of the school, came in, followed by two soldiers with live ammunition.
Zhou Charter sat in the corner, shook the shackles on his body, and said with a wry smile, "Mr. Cui, the student's armor is on his body, so I can't give you a gift."
Cui Exposed shook his head and sighed: "Zhou Charter, it's all here, and you still have the heart to laugh." Cui revealed that he was a good man, and the boss couldn't bear it.
"There is a saying that 20 years later, there will be another good man. When you teach and behead, please do it quickly for the sake of our teachers and students."
"You'd better talk to your master." Cui exposed and waved his hand, and two soldiers came up and set up Zhou Charter.
Zhou Charter was set up and went out of the cell. After a while, he came to the door of the residence of Huijin.
Jin is a literati who likes to be clean. His residence is in the north of the pond, and there are no tall buildings around him. There are willows in front of the door, and a pool of spring water rises in the moonlight.
"Mr. Cui, this is your fault." Zhou Charter sighed.
"What's wrong with me?" Cui asked with a bitter face.
"Kill your head here, and the blood will splash, which will stain my master's court."
"He wants to kill you, and you don't care about him!" The master killed the students, which was said to be a righteous extermination of relatives. In fact, to put it bluntly, it was to find a step for Li Hongzhang and use Zhou Charter's head to please Li Zhongtang. Cui exposed that he was very disapproved of this, but his position was low and did not dare to stand out.
Zhou Charter shook his head: "As the saying goes, I will be a teacher and a father for the rest of my life. It is also helpless for my master to kill me today."
"Don't you blame him?"
"No wonder." Zhou Charter said, "Let's behead another place and don't destroy the moonlight of my master's lotus pond."
"Zhou Charter, you are a fucking strange man!" Cui exposed shook his head and sighed, "Let's talk about it after seeing your master. He wants to serve you."
"What's the line?"
"It's just a behead meal! Tonight, let me know what you want to eat and drink.
Cui exposed and greeted the two soldiers to push Zhou Charter into the door.
In Najin's apartment, the lights are bright.
In the middle of the hall, there is an Eight Immortals table with tea on the table, and there is no delicious food.
On the north wall of the hall, there is a portrait of Mr. Kong. In front of the portrait, there are several incense burners. In front of the incense burner, the Jin, wearing an official uniform and dressed up sitting on a teacher's chair. Seeing Zhou Charter, he brushed his beard and waved his hand.
Cui exposed his mind, took out the key, opened the shackles on Zhou Charter's neck, and let him free his two hands to eat.
Jin frowned and pointed to Zhou Charter's foot, signaling Cui to open the flings.
Cui exposed a little hesitant: "I will do it. Zhou Charter is a death row prisoner, according to the law..."
"Do you want my student to eat with me with shackles?" Jin shouted, "Sage, restrain yourself and return to etiquette. Don't look at it if you are rude, and don't eat if you are rude!"
In his eyes, etiquette and music are order and system. In the upper dynasty, they should be polite, class, and eating and sleeping. Even if they have sex with a woman, they should be polite. If there is no etiquette, everything is empty talk.
Now, to have the last dinner with the students, the etiquette is stricter. Jin is dressed like the upper court, wearing flower bells, neatly dressed and meticulously.
"Yes!" Cui exposed that he opened the shackles on Zhou Charter's feet.
Zhou Charter's heart was secretly funny. When it came to this point, the head was about to fall, and Jin still valued the etiquette so much.
Since Jin valued etiquette so much, Zhou Charter did not dare to neglect it. He walked to Jin, shook his sleeves and knelt down: "Student Zhou Charter has met the teacher." With that, he kowtowed three times.
Jin brushed his beard and praised: "You can teach me! The saint said, a gentleman dies, but the crown is inevitable! Charter, you die to the end, and you can still maintain my Chinese etiquette, worthy of teaching you a teacher! I am deeply gratified to be a teacher. Please sit down."
"Thank you, master!" Zhou Charter stood up and sat opposite Jin.
Cui exposed his heart and sighed secretly. When Zhou Charter fell to this step, Na Jin, as a master, had an inescapable responsibility, but Zhou Charter had no resentment against Jin at all. When he died, he did not relax his etiquette to the master at all.
"Zhou Charter, tell me what you want to eat and drink." Cui said.
Jin shouted, "Xiaomin takes food as heaven, and gentlemen take morality as heaven. Zhou Charter, as a generation of gentlemen, can't we be drunk and dream of death? Today, our teachers and students say goodbye. How can we be as vulgar as Xiaomin? Don't mention the word eating and drink again, which will ruin our elegance!"
"Yes!" Cui exposed that he answered righteously, and secretly cried bitterly. When a gentleman can't even beheaded and eat enough, he has to be a starving ghost in the underworld. It seems that this gentleman can't be!
Na Jin waved his hand: "Tonight, I will say goodbye to Charter's teachers and students, so don't disturb our elegance here."
Jin asked Cui and the soldiers to avoid it. Cui was shocked and said in a hurry, "Your Excellency, Zhou Charter is a death row prisoner. I'm afraid it's not appropriate for you to stay alone with him."
Jin is a literati. He is old and has no power to tie chickens, but Zhou Charter is strong. If Zhou Charter jumps over the wall in a hurry and makes the master of the meeting, Cui will not be unrelated.
Jin was extremely impatient: "Cui exposed, you have all seen that Zhou Charter's head was normal just now. Under my careful guidance, he has changed from a reckless man to a wise man. How can he do acts of deceiving teachers and destroying ancestors? I promise that Zhou Charter will never be rude to teachers!"
Cui exposed and shouted secretly, where is this? Rabbits will bite people when they are anxious, and even if a saint dies, they will jump over the wall. What's more, Zhou Charter is not a saint. He is a student of Tianjin Wubei School and knows martial arts!
Cui was hesitating, and Jin shouted: "Get out! Do you have to force me to say rude words?"
Cui was helpless and had to be careful and withdrew from the door with two soldiers.
There are only Zhou Charter and Najin left in the room.
