于(yú )是,秦中凯举起长(zhǎng )剑,闭上眼睛(jīng ),准备将剑刺向儿(ér )子的胸膛,就在(zài )这一刻,皇上派人骑快马送(sòng )来一道圣旨。原来皇上听说了(le )秦中凯大义灭(miè )亲(qīn )的事,十分(fèn )感(gǎn )动,念这(zhè )位老臣劳苦功高(gāo ),便下旨赦了秦中凯的独子(zǐ ),但死(sǐ )罪好免,活罪难饶,圣上(shàng )旨意要将(jiāng )秦文囚禁在运河塔楼(lóu )顶(dǐng )层,让他白日(rì )悔过,夜晚守灯。至于囚禁多长时间,皇上的意思耐人寻味:他派人送来一(yī )把锁和木(mù )钥匙,锁用来锁住塔(tǎ )楼大(dà )门,钥匙则交给秦中凯(kǎi )保管(guǎn ),秦(qín )中凯可以随时用这把木(mù )钥匙打开锁,将(jiāng )儿子放出来(lái ),如若秦中凯不开锁,秦(qín )文(wén )就只有等那把锁被风雨锈蚀烂掉,方(fāng )可出来。秦中凯捧(pěng )着皇上(shàng )赐的木钥匙,一(yī )语不发,只是落(luò )泪。
