If nothing unexpected happens, it should be on the shelves at midnight today. Before that, there will be a public version. Although it is a cliché, I still have to ask capable friends to subscribe and support it. By the way, I also reserve a monthly pass. Thank you!
…
After some circumstantial questioning, and the fact that Qin Shang probably had no intention of hiding anything, Lin Ze soon understood that the chaos that occurred in the imperial capital of Jin was presided over by Qin Shang. As for the father and son Sima Cheng and Sima Ling,
It's basically his pawn.
Sima Cheng forced a marriage to the Wang family in order to attract the attention of the royal family and the public. He secretly transported the real killers around the imperial capital, and then let these people go on a killing spree, trying to stir up chaos in the imperial capital, and finally
Qin Shang was able to get what he wanted in the empty palace and achieve his goal.
But after understanding the incident, Lin Ze became even more confused.
The chaos in the imperial capital killed and injured more than a thousand people, many of whom were even innocent people who had no power to restrain themselves. In his original thought, anyone who could do such a heartless thing must be a treacherous and evil person.
.
But along the way, Lin Ze discovered that Qin Shang, apart from speaking half-truths and half-truths and being a bit self-centered in his behavior, did not show much malignancy at all. He could even be said to have a pretty good personality. Sometimes Lin Ze would deliberately say a few things.
I tried to irritate him with a bad word, but the other person just laughed it off and didn't seem to mind at all.
As for the traitor Li Kun, he is a good guy. At least in Lin Ze's view, he is an honest man with a gentle personality.
This made him really unable to figure out how two people with such good character and character could plan such a catastrophic incident that killed countless people.
And more importantly, with Qin Shang's strength, does it really need to be so troublesome to get things from the Jin Palace?
"Half junior brother, go on." Suddenly, Li Kun took a roasted pheasant and threw it towards Lin Ze.
Lin Ze took it and thanked him, and then said: "Also, don't call me half-junior brother, it's very unpleasant."
"Haha, I think it's good." Li Kun smiled.
At this time, seven days had passed since Lin Ze woke up. The three of them had already entered the endless mountains and sat on a piece of grass to rest. Li Kun was basically responsible for eating and drinking along the way.
Although he almost died, it was almost all caused indirectly by Qin Shang, but he was able to survive because of Qin Shang. As the saying goes, don’t hit the smiling man, and Qin Shang and Li Kun are not hateful, and neither is Lin Ze.
It is necessary to put on a bad face and get along with these two people in a harmonious manner.
At least that's the case on the surface.
While eating the chicken legs, Lin Ze was still full of doubts. He couldn't help but look at Qin Shang and asked tentatively: "By the way, by the way, what exactly did you take from the Jin royal family's treasury?"
Qin Shang suddenly laughed, "You are really ignorant, you are asking around all day long. Don't you know that the more you know, the faster you will die?"
Lin Ze spread his hands, with an indifferent expression on his face, "I should have died anyway, and I have earned it by living till now. Besides, if you want to kill me, why would you spend so much effort to save me?"
Qin Shang smiled but did not answer.
After a while, he said: "Actually, it doesn't matter if I tell you." As he spoke, he turned his sleeves slightly, and suddenly, something jumped out of it and threw it towards Lin Ze.
Everything is in your sleeves!
Lin Ze couldn't help but his eyes lit up, and he instinctively took the thing in his hand. When he lowered his head and looked at it, he was stunned.
What Qin Shang threw over was a hand, a hand that was crystal clear and as flawless as white jade. At first, Lin Zechu thought that Qin Shang had cut off this hand from an unknown girl, but then he realized that it was
A hand made of jade.
And it is still very rare nephrite, so it feels not much different from the real thing.
"Is it just for this hand that you go to such trouble?" Lin Ze looked at Qin Shang in disbelief. Although nephrite is indeed rare, it does not have many uses except for ornamental purposes. With Qin Shang,
It is unreasonable for a person of this level to plan for several years for a hand made of nephrite.
"This is the witch's hand." Qin Shang said suddenly.
"Witch's hand? Real person?"
"The witch is real, but the witch's hands are not real."
What do you mean? It’s okay if you don’t listen. After hearing this, Lin Ze became even more confused.
Qin Shang probably hadn't talked about the witch with anyone for a long time. There was a look of nostalgia in his eyes, and he looked up at the sky, and then said to Lin Ze: "The organization I belong to is an outsider, and the truth in the world exists.
Because some of our heretical thoughts and practices do not conform to the three views of most hypocrites, the world also calls us evil spirits. Over time, we have become heretic evil spirits, and everyone will find and punish us."
Lin Ze didn't understand why he was telling him this, but he listened carefully.
"In the beginning, because of the witch's leadership, our heretical forces could almost keep pace with the real demon sect. However, with the sudden death of the witch, the heretics suddenly weakened, and then we were hunted down by the so-called famous and decent sects.
…Originally, the heretics respected the witch, and then there were two great sword masters, three special envoys and four great protectors. But now, I’m probably the only one left.”
Speaking of this, Qin Shang couldn't help but sigh heavily, feeling lonely.
However, Lin Ze was somewhat disapproving of it. Qin Shang caused thousands of people to die just for a mere jade hand. The cruelty of the heretics' actions was outrageous. Even the now weakened heretics followed this approach, so
It is not difficult to imagine what it was like in the past when the heretics were strong.
If such an unscrupulous sect can survive forever, it would be unjust.
Qin Shang seemed to be able to tell what Lin Ze was thinking from his expression, and said, "Do you think we brought it on ourselves?"
Lin Ze didn't want to say it at first, but since he had been exposed, he didn't intend to hide it. He nodded and said: "No matter what the purpose of your heretics is, but just take this matter as an example, so many innocent people died.
There is no difference between your practices and those of evil cults. No matter who you are, you will not be tolerated..."
"Don't compare the evil cult monsters with us heretics." Before Lin Ze finished speaking, Qin Shang suddenly sneered, "Don't compare the evil cult monsters with us heretics. The evil cult monsters do evil things just for temporary pleasure.
For our own selfish desires, but we heretics have a far-reaching purpose, for the sake of world harmony..."
Realizing that his tone was a little excited, Qin Shang suddenly smiled self-deprecatingly, waved his hands and said, "Forget it, your mind is still filled with the world's pedantic views. Even if I tell you, you won't understand. I'll wait for you later."
The more you see it, the more you will understand."
Lin Ze didn't think so, and he felt that Qin Shang was just a middle-aged man... How could such a thing be possible if the world were unified? It was almost like daydreaming.
"Also, who are the innocent people you just mentioned?" Then, Qin Shang looked at him with a half-smile, "Do you mean those unarmed common people?"
"Since you know, why bother asking me again."
"Haha, there are no innocent people in this world. There are only two kinds, those who deserve to die and those who do not deserve to die." Qin Shang said sternly, "Those who are unable to protect themselves deserve to die, and those who are unable to protect themselves do not deserve to die. Could it be that
Isn’t the world like this?”
"..." Lin Ze instinctively wanted to refute, but when he opened his mouth, he couldn't say a word.
Although Qin Shang's words are extreme, in fact, they do point out the current situation of the world.
There are many people in this world who do good deeds throughout their lives and are happy with others everywhere. However, because they are weak and have no ability to protect themselves, no one pays attention to their life and death. Even if they die in vain in front of the world, few people will take care of them.
However, some people do many evil things, including rape, robbery, and robbery, but they live well and even enjoy countless honors and respects. Why? Because they have strong power themselves, because the family power they back is powerful, and they are born with
Destined to achieve more than countless others, destined to be... sinless from birth!
Because weakness is the original sin, and strength is the eternal truth.
So there are only two types of people in this world: those who deserve to die and those who do not deserve to die.
The method used by Qin to harm the imperial capital of Jin was not a heretical principle, but a truth that everyone in the world understands.
