"Kosaburo Sakurai?" Uesugi thought for a moment and shook his head honestly, "I've never heard of it."
"But you're right, I left the family sixty years ago, and I haven't heard any news about the family since then." Uesugi said to Sakurai Kogure, "Sixty years ago, Sakurai Kozaburo was probably not born.
It’s even more unreasonable for me to know your father.”
Sakurai Kogure just nodded slowly and said nothing more. It seemed that she did not want to discuss the topic of her father in more depth.
But after all, Uesugoshi is an old fox who has lived decades longer than the girl. No matter how well Sakurai Kogure hides it, Uesugoshi can see at a glance that when the topic of his father is mentioned, there is something hidden in Sakurai Kogure's eyes.
That haze.
Uesugoshi can probably guess why Sakurai Kogure subconsciously wants to avoid this topic. He once succeeded the head of the Snakekihachi family. Although it was not long ago, people in high positions will be exposed to the darkness of the family to some extent.
Face... that was the darkness that had lasted from his time, no, it was a disease, a stubborn illness that had existed in the Sheqiba family since their birth even longer ago.
Meeting is fate. As an old man who can't understand the family's practices, Uesugoshi cannot eliminate the conflicts in the family itself, but he feels that he needs to help this descendant of the family who he likes to ease the knot that has troubled her for a long time.
...What's more, this girl is very likely to become his daughter-in-law.
"Koshio, who is the head of the Sakurai family now?" Uesugi Koshi asked Minamoto, winking quietly at Minamoto.
"It's Sakurai Nanami." Minamoto received Uesugoshi's look and introduced in detail, "Sakurai Nanami is the only female head of the eight families besides Erashi. She is smart and capable, and her reputation in the family is very high.
Gao... By the way, the head of the Sakurai family is the younger sister of Kozaburo Sakurai who was just mentioned."
Saying that the current head of the Sakurai family is Sakurai Kogure's biological aunt, Uesugoshi nodded.
"Then what do the Sakurai family think of the fierce ghosts?" Uesugoshi changed the subject.
Yuan Zhisheng paused, his expression a little hesitant.
The Fierce Ghosts have always been a taboo topic, not only in the Sakurai family, but also within the entire Snake Qihachi family. Almost every family has members defecting to the Fierce Ghosts every year. The Executive Bureau has always treated clan members with hidden bloodline risks.
Different colors are used to indicate their potential threat level. The highest level of threat is bright and eye-catching red. Once marked red, it means that they have become enemies of the family... and all members of the Menggui are of the highest level.
red.
This means that once a family member defectes to the Fierce Ghosts, he will automatically become an enemy of the family and will be killed without mercy!
"The enemy, the Sakurai family regards the fierce ghosts as their enemies." Minamoto said silently, "It should be said that not only the Sakurai family, but also the entire Snake Qihachi family regards the fierce ghosts as their mortal enemies. This is an eternal fact of the family.
Changed stance."
Uesugoshi did not express any opinions on Minamoto's words. He just remained silent and noncommittal.
"But in fact, among the eight heads of the family, the Sakurai family's attitude towards the fierce ghosts is relatively less hostile. Last time I met the Sakurai family head in the elevator and mentioned the attack on the Kukakukan. After learning about our
When the action failed, I could tell that the Sakurai family was secretly relieved. I could see that the Sakurai family still had elder-like feelings for Sakurai Kogure." Minamoto paused, "But Sakurai Kozaburo seems to have
I didn’t think so…”
"Huh? What did that guy named Sakurai Kozaburo say?" Uesugi asked.
"Sakurai Kozaburo once told me that he felt...deeply ashamed for having such a daughter who betrayed the family." Gen Zhisheng glanced at Sakurai Kogure vaguely.
Sakurai Kogure was silent with her head lowered, her face neither happy nor sad.
"Kozaburo Sakurai told me that he wished he could kill his unfaithful and unfilial daughter with a knife, but he hated that he did not have the ability to execute her, so he asked me not to show mercy when facing his daughter.
"There is no need to leave the whole body or collect the body. It is best to burn the body with a big fire after killing Sakurai Kogure without leaving any trace." Yuan Zhisheng did not look at Sakurai Kogure's expression when he said these words.
, "The original words of Kozaburo Sakurai are... "With such a daughter in the Sakurai family, I have no face to face my clan, and no face to face my head of the household.
As a sister who has worked hard to govern me, I, Kozaburo Sakurai, pretend that I have never given birth to such a daughter. I implore you, young master, to kill the evil "ghost". Otherwise, if the evil "ghost" is allowed to run rampant, Kozaburo Sakurai will have no choice but to die to apologize."
"
After hearing this, Sakurai Kogure remained indifferent, as if the person who tried to execute her was not her biological father at all, but an insignificant passerby... However, in fact, Sakurai Kogure had to pinch her own wrist to stop the trembling in her palm.
, a fleeting sadness flashed across the depths of her pupils, which meant that the girl's heart must have been violently stung by the words Yuan Zhisheng had just relayed to her father, but she endured it, not wanting to be hurt.
aware.
"Father?" Uesugoshi shook his head, "According to what you said, the guy named Sakurai Kozaburo is not a thing at all. Such a person is also called a father? Don't tarnish the two sacred words of 'father'
Please tell me the words."
The entire Japanese room fell into silence, and everyone was silent. No one could comment on the words of Sakurai Kozaburo or Uesugoshi, because no one present had a complete concept of the identity of "father".
Needless to say, Sakurai Kogure, those extremely hurtful words came from her biological father, Sakurai Kozaburo. Sakurai Kogure defected from the family at the age of fourteen and never saw her father again.
The relationship between her and her aunt Nanami Sakurai is not as deep as that between her and her aunt Nanami Sakurai. The brothers Minamoto and Minamoto have just met their biological father. Lu Mingfei has not been able to see his father all year round. Chu Zi
Before Hang could get to know his father, the man disappeared and there has been no news to this day. Caesar's father...Caesar always felt that there was no difference between the bastard alive and dead.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! So, in fact, the childhood memories of the whole room of them together cannot make up a complete father.
"When I say these words, I feel like I'm being sycophantic. In fact, I have only been a father for a short time. He has been a father for more than 20 years, so he must be more experienced than me." Uesugi Yue sighed, "
But I just feel that a father shouldn’t do this to his own children, and family members shouldn’t do this to each other... This family has been suffering from a disease for a long time, and no matter how many generations have passed, the disease has not been cured, because no generation of family heads can truly
The root of the disease has been found."
"Zhisheng, let me ask you, if we didn't meet in front of me today, not in this Japanese room, but on the battlefield, would you execute Xiaogu as her father said?"
Uesugi Yue asked Minamoto Chisheng.
Yuan Zhisheng glanced at Sakurai Kogure. After being silent for a moment, he nodded slowly and answered truthfully: "Yes."
"Yes, this is in line with the family's behavior. "Ghosts" should be killed. This is just. The family has always implemented such justice." Sakurai Kogure, who had been silent all the time, suddenly said softly, "It's really bloody.
Justice that never stops flowing."
"It seems that the family's actions are not discussed by the dragons and horses of the fierce ghosts. Over the years, many people have died at the hands of the fierce ghosts. I have investigated you, Sakurai Kogure, and you are responsible for at least ten lives!
"Minamoto Chisheng said coldly to Sakurai Kogure, "Although the family is not completely righteous, at least it is not reduced to a traitorous organization like the Fierce Demons who regard human life as trivial."
"Is there no blood debt in the hands of the family? The family is always noble, and the "ghosts" are always humble. We are born with a humble fate, and our dangerous bloodline is our original sin... Yuan Zhisheng's parents
That's what you think in your heart, right? In fact, it's no different from what my father thinks." Sakurai Kogure looked at Minamoto Chisheng calmly, "The fierce ghosts are the enemies of the family and have been purged by the family. This is the stance.
The question is, I can’t argue with how your parents want to deal with it...but what crime does my brother have?"
"Your brother?" Yuan Zhisheng frowned slightly.
"My brother's name is Akira Sakurai. You may have never heard of this name, because in the eyes of people like you, he is just a negligible little person." Sakurai Kogure said, "My brother is twenty-three years old this year.
, he was judged as a "bloodline with the potential for out-of-control" since he was a child, and his color patch was always yellow until he was fifteen years old."
"So Sakurai Akira has been living in the mountains. In the monastery built by his family, there are solid stone walls on all sides, and the stone walls are electrified barbed wire. Sakurai Akira has no freedom and no friends. His world will always be just
A square sky." Sakurai Kogure said calmly, "Every year, the family has a law enforcer to do a pedigree test for Sakurai Akira. If it is yellow, he will be considered safe. If it is orange, he will be transferred to a stronger one.
In prison, if it were red, he would be executed on the spot, but on Akira Sakurai's fifteenth birthday, he finally got the green color code for the first time."
"Green, seeing this beautiful color, Sakurai Akira thought he was finally free, but the next words of the law enforcement officer made him fall into the abyss." Sakurai Kogure said, "The law enforcement officer said Sakurai Akira has been acting very...
Well, if he gets the green label every year, he will hopefully be free at the age of forty."
"Forty years old is half a person's life. Sakurai Akira has never left the church in the mountains. At forty years old, he has nothing to do. Who would want to start a family with him? At forty years old, he has no relatives.
He has aged before he has had time to grow up. Can he still keep up with this society?" Sakurai Kogure asked, "What's the difference between telling him this and killing him?"
"My younger brother was actually killed when he was born and was not buried until he was forty years old. We "ghosts" are the same. Our freedom and our lives have been killed by our families since we were born. Now we are the only ones alive.
Our resentment, our hatred, our broken bodies... We, incomplete "human beings", have been pieced together into a group of fierce ghosts who long for freedom. They are defined as mortal enemies by their families. They are all "ghosts" who deserve to be executed. Our relatives
They all regard us as a shame, just like my father." Sakurai Kogure looked into Minamoto's evil eyes without hesitation, "I dare to ask you, parents, what deprived us of our lives... is it because we were born evil?
Bloodline, or the family’s so-called righteous will?”
Before Yuan Zhisheng could answer, Sakurai Kogure suddenly stood up and bowed to him: "I have finished my words. If you parents can see my father, please relay these words on behalf of Kogure... A meaningless guy like me
I'm deeply sorry for bothering everyone for so long."
Looking at Sakurai Kogure who was sitting down again, Yuan Zhisheng opened his mouth, but could not say anything. Although Sakurai Kogure's voice was soft, every question he asked was like a powerful hammer, hitting Yuan Zhisheng hard.
On top of students' original sense of right and wrong... Yuan Zhisheng now feels a little tight in his chest.
"Fengjian Liuli's girl is so cruel. This is the first time I've seen Xianggui look so aggrieved." Caesar whispered in Chu Zihang's ear.
"Miss Sakurai is quite powerful." Chu Zihang rarely agreed with Caesar.
"Jiaosheng, actually I have a question in my mind to ask you." Uesugi Koshi also suddenly spoke, "If you don't know the truth that the child is not a "ghost", or if the child is really a "ghost", you can do it again.
If you meet him, will you stab his heart with a knife without hesitation and kill him?"
Gen Zhisheng fell into a long silence again. Uesugoshi's question pulled him back to that rainy night, the downpour, the long knife that pierced the chest, the lonely and dilapidated dry well, and that face as pale as a ghost.
face... Yuan Zhisheng wanted to say no, because he felt Yuan Zhisheng's eyes, which were full of the younger brother's hope for the elder brother, as well as the hidden fear... Hearing that sad answer, he was afraid of his brother.
Just like ten years ago, I would abandon myself in the abyss of loneliness and despair.
But Yuan Zhisheng didn't want to deceive the other party. If his brother was really a "ghost", Yuan Zhisheng wouldn't be able to say that he would never kill him. He had been a law enforcer for so long and knew very well that "ghost"
Once this thing gets out of control, it will be no different from a bloodthirsty and dangerous beast. If it were in the past, Minamoto Chisheng felt that he would still choose to kill his relatives in the end... But what Minamoto Chisheng didn't want to admit but had to admit was that just now Sakurai Kogure
The words made the "justice" in his heart waver a little.
"If the young girl is really a "ghost", I will be very sad. I don't want to kill my brother, but I can't change the fact that he is a very evil "ghost". Once the bloodline is out of control, the young girl will no longer
He is a child, and maybe killing him is the only thing I can do for him. This is my brother's decision..." Minamoto looked at the lonely Minamoto next to him, and then looked at Sakurai Kogure.
, and finally he sighed deeply, "That's what I used to think."
"Now I am a little confused. What is the responsibility of the parents, what is the justice of the family, and how to cure the family's illness..." Yuan Zhisheng, who has always wanted to be strong in his life, revealed his confusion for the first time, "Father, please
