于(yú )是,秦中(zhōng )凯举起(qǐ )长剑(jiàn ),闭上眼睛,准备(bèi )将剑(jiàn )刺向儿(ér )子的(de )胸膛,就在这一刻,皇上(shàng )派人骑快马送来一(yī )道圣旨(zhǐ )。原来(lái )皇上(shàng )听说了秦中(zhōng )凯大义(yì )灭亲的事,十分感(gǎn )动,念这位老臣劳苦(kǔ )功(gōng )高,便下旨赦了秦中凯的独子,但(dàn )死罪好免,活罪难饶,圣上旨意要将秦文囚禁(jìn )在运河塔楼顶层(céng ),让他白日悔过,夜晚守灯。至于囚禁(jìn )多长时间,皇上(shàng )的意思耐人寻味:他派人(rén )送来(lái )一(yī )把锁和木钥匙,锁用来锁住塔楼大门,钥匙则交(jiāo )给秦(qín )中(zhōng )凯保管,秦中凯可以随时用这把木钥匙打开(kāi )锁,将(jiāng )儿子放出(chū )来,如若秦中凯不(bú )开锁(suǒ ),秦文(wén )就只(zhī )有等那把锁被风雨锈蚀烂掉,方可出来。秦中凯捧着皇上赐(cì )的木钥(yào )匙,一语不发,只(zhī )是落泪。
