Chapter 488: One General’s Success and Ten Thousand Bones Withered
Looking at the oncoming old woman, Chu Nanzhi's clear eyes couldn't help but blink a few times.
This woman was dressed in monk's robes, but not wearing a monk's hat. Her black and white hair was neatly arranged, matching the simple clothes, which was extremely ordinary.
The woman held the wooden fish in her hand. As soon as she walked to the door, she started knocking lightly and said calmly: "The female donor wants to see the poor nun?"
"The master is the high hall of the county governor?"
Although Chu Nanzhi had already guessed at least eighty-nine times, she still asked questions suspiciously.
"There is no governor in the nunnery. There is only an old nun who devotes himself to worshiping Buddha."
The woman replied calmly, but the rhythm of beating the wooden fish in her hands accelerated a lot.
Chu Nanzhi could feel the uneasiness in her heart and deliberately stimulated: "Even if you don't want to admit some relationships, they are destined by God and cannot be separated."
After a few seconds of silence, she calmly glanced at Qin Xiaoniang again, and her tone became much deeper: "Once something is done, even if you don't want to think about it again, it is a sin that is difficult to erase."
"The poor nun doesn't understand what the female donor is talking about."
The sound of the wooden fish in Qin Xiaoniang's hand suddenly stopped.
Although she was extremely reluctant to admit this, she was already very upset.
This woman brought people from the government to this place, which means that she already knows the whole story, and she may not be able to hide it if she wants to.
"Since the female benefactor came to see the poor nun despite all the hardships, the poor nun cannot neglect the benefactor. Can she also ask the female benefactor to accompany the poor nun to the poor nun's residence for a talk?"
Qin Xiaoniang glanced at the gloomy Buddhist hall and asked her for instructions.
"This is just the right place, Master. You don't have to be polite."
Chu Nanzhi walked leisurely towards the inner room: "How about we talk about it in the Buddhist hall?"
Qin Xiaoniang looked at her back as she entered, frowned slightly, and had no choice but to follow her in, and slowly started tapping the wooden fish in her hand again.
As soon as they arrived at the center of the Buddhist hall, Chu Nan Zhi's light voice rang out in the strange and deep air: "If my guess is correct, Master Tai also knows about Lin Erlang entering the hall to commit an assassination."
Qin Xiaoniang was silent and did not answer. She knelt down on the futon and pretended to be calm, tapping the wooden fish.
She was just taking a lucky attitude in this matter, turning a blind eye and watching the excitement, so naturally she would not take it upon herself.
Chu Nanzhi laughed coldly: "Master Tai is really a cultivator, and his heart is as calm as water. After all, Nujia is just a layman. Looking at so many coffins has already made his scalp numb."
She paused slightly and looked at the dark, cold coffins in the room. She said in a deep tone: "To be honest, the servants were scared to death by a mouse just after they brought their servants in. It's really ridiculous. I don't know those people who are so heartless.
How should the criminals who killed these innocent lives feel about this situation?"
Hearing this, the wooden fish in Qin Xiaoniang's hand stopped again.
Standing up with a solemn expression, she looked around at the dark coffin in the hall with a deep look, and sighed longly:
"The female donor came here today simply because she wanted to know some old things about her hometown in Tong County from the poor nun. Even if the poor nun knew something about the inside story, no matter how bad the traitor was, he was still the meat that fell from the poor nun. Has the female benefactor ever heard of it?
Has it ever happened that a mother identified her son?"
"Indeed, this matter has made Master Tai very embarrassed."
Chu Nanzhi replied in a slow tone: "Have you ever heard of the horrifying incident of killing thousands of names of people in the village to cover up one person's identity? Don't those innocent villagers have no children or elderly people in their homes?"
At this point, Chu Nanzhi's heart began to surge, and she could no longer calm down: "As a parent-official, it's fine if you don't work for the welfare of the people, but you did such a cruel thing, isn't Master Tai afraid of retribution?"
Qin Xiaoniang's expression was stunned for a moment, her face was cloudy and uncertain for a while, and she became extremely stiff.
After a long time, she replied in a stubborn and cold voice: "So what? One general's success will lead to thousands of bones being withered. Throughout the ages, there have been many bones that were not built to build bridges for those who were greedy for profit."
"A good general can make a thousand bones wither."
Chu Nanzhi shook his head with disdain: "The war caused many people to be displaced. Generals have to rely on killing to win. Even so, there are many benevolent generals who care about the soldiers and the people and advocate subduing the enemy's troops without fighting. And those
What is the motive behind these soldiers who have faced death and charge into battle? Isn't it just so that the younger generations can enjoy this peaceful and prosperous age?
Since Master Tai wants to discuss his merits with the slave family, the slave family would like to ask where Wu Taishou's merit lies? He is an official who does not govern the world and does not serve the people. He just kills innocent people for his own selfish interests.
In recent years, using the Qi family as minions, many people have been forced to have their families destroyed and their families torn apart. Is this what Master Tai said that one general can kill thousands of bones? Or is it just to satisfy his own selfish desires?
If everyone is as crazy as he is, what justice can there be in this world and what conscience can be trusted?"
Qin Xiaoniang was refuted by her words and was speechless.
How could she not know that her son had reached the point of losing his humanity?
Otherwise, I would not be willing to live in the mountains and not be with him.
Staring at her blankly, Chu Nanzhi also fell into deep thought: "Shitai worships Buddha, and the most important thing is karma. If I mention two people, I think Shitai is no stranger. One is included in the Chongrenfang Lin family.
The eldest daughter is Jiang Xiaoniang, and the other is Mrs. Wu who married into Taigong Zhao’s house.”
As soon as these two people were mentioned, Qin Xiaoniang's face became particularly embarrassed, and her eyes were full of guilt.
Chu Nanzhi noticed the strange look on her face, and slowly turned her cold eyes to the coffin in front of her: "Jiang Xiaoniang's daughter, who is also the flesh and blood of Prefect Wu, is now resting in this nunnery. Jiang Xiaoniang is so cruel that even her own flesh and blood
She can kill them all, which shows that she has a deep hatred for Wu Taishou. I wonder how Master Tai feels when she sees her own granddaughter dying tragically every day?"
Qin Xiaoniang's heart felt like being pricked by needles, and the pain hit her whole body, making her feel like her internal organs were being torn apart.
"If my guess is correct, the lady Wu who married into Zhao Taigong's house is not the daughter of the master's wife, right?"
Qin Xiaoniang was stunned on the spot: How could she know this?
Chu Nanzhi looked at Qin Xiaoniang who was in a daze, and knew that her guess was correct, and said: "Then let me make a bold guess. I think the young man of the Zhao family must also be the flesh and blood of Prefect Wu, right?
Bar?"
Otherwise, why would he have committed so many murders just to conceal this matter.
Qin Xiaoniang's entire face turned dark and she buried her head silently.
Chu Nanzhi smiled warmly at her and sighed with regret: "To say that the Mr. Zhao Xiaolang that Madam Wu gave birth to is really talented, intelligent, filial and benevolent. I'm afraid there won't be many people in Luyan Port who can match him."
He is a well-behaved boy who is comparable to others. Even Chang Lao and Nie Lao are very fond of this young man. But when he was murdered and thrown into a dry well at the age of ten, how can it not be heartbreaking?"
Hearing this, Qin Xiaoniang could no longer hide her inner sadness. She knelt down on the futon and cried in pain. She called out: "Jinlan, Yan'er."
While choking, he murmured the names of Lin Jinlan and Zhao Yan.
