What Hu Yinyin did was completely beyond my imagination. Even after several days, I thought it was a dream. As long as I wake up from this nightmare, I will still be the young and promising weapon maker, and there will be someone who is willing to be my wife.
A beautiful girl. But this is not a dream at all. It is a fact that I fell into the trap she set. Even if I regret it, it is of no use.
I didn't dare to mention this matter to my parents. They were old, and even if they wanted to help me, they couldn't do anything. Originally, I planned to put it off for the time being and try to find ways to borrow money to see if I could get the money together. But that day I
I happened to meet a down-and-out gambler who was being called for a loan, and he beat him like a dead dog. I broke out in a cold sweat: What if I don't pay the debt by then and am in such a situation?
Then I thought of something else: Even if I took out three hundred thousand taels of silver and a mansion in the western suburbs, would she be willing to tear up the account book? Even if she tore it up, would she still be able to forge one? Even if I kill her
If I leave her, does she have an accomplice hiding in the dark, holding secrets about me? If she took one 300,000 yuan, would she still want a second 300,000 yuan, or even three million yuan?
Then I realized that when I listened to her words and made that extremely dangerous decision, it was equivalent to putting an extremely heavy and strong shackles on myself and becoming her slave to extract money. As long as I live for one day, I will
Be subject to her.
I was in a dead situation, and there were only two choices left for me: one was to live in her shadow for the rest of my life, and the other was to die. When I thought about having to be wary of a woman for the rest of my life, I felt that living was really meaningless.
She is so vicious and I hate her so much. Even if I die and all my money is confiscated by the government, she won't be able to get a single cent.
…
When Su Liangjing finished speaking, he was already squatting on the ground with his face buried in a pair of big hands: "Two heroes, I have already told you about my affairs. Now the last thing I ask of you is to kill me.
Right. At that time, even if Sister-in-law Qin didn’t come to take my knife, I wouldn’t be able to survive."
Hong Chen saw that Su Liangjing's appearance was completely different from the high-spirited man who was forging weapons, and said: "Brother Su, you don't have to rush to die. As long as people are alive, there are always many ways. Your parents will support you."
You are so old, they must be very sad when you die."
Su Liangjing slowly raised his head, with tears still on his face: "But what can I do? Once Hu Yinyin reports me, with the current punishment of the court, my parents and I will suffer the death penalty. If I fear death and seek death, my parents will not be left behind."
An uninformed suicide note could save their lives."
But Ji Cha smiled and said: "Su, you have been deceived by Hu Yinyin into this kind of virtue. How are you still naive?"
Su Liangjing was startled: "What do you mean?"
Ji Cha walked around the room and said slowly: "Do you think that everything will be over once you die? Hu Yinyin could have gotten 300,000 taels of snowflake silver from you, as well as a large house in the western suburbs.
But even if she reports it, the money and the house will be confiscated and sold, and will not fall into her hands. Will she be angry?"
Hong Chen interjected: "You must be angry. A few years ago, there was a bamboo rat that was tied up and ready to be killed. My master accidentally chewed off the rope and ran away. I was so angry that I searched for it for a day. After I found it,
I didn't even give it a good beating. I beat it with a bamboo stick for half an hour before cutting off its head and making it into a stew."
When Su Liangjing heard this, he couldn't help but trembled and murmured: "Yes, that's right. Hu Yinyin didn't get the silver then, so she became angry and didn't know what she would do again. My parents are honest people, and they are just ordinary people.
Can you fight against such a vicious snake and scorpion like her? Ah, why didn't I think of this!"
But then, Su Liangjing had a grimace on his face again: "So, I have no other choice but to be a slave who sends her money for the rest of my life."
Hong Chen looked at Ji Cha and said, "Brother Su is in such a difficult situation. Can you think of an idea to help him?"
Ji Cha stopped pacing and said with a smile: "Isn't this simple? It doesn't even require the help of my dignified tea pickers. You, a bamboo cutter, can handle it."
Hong Chen asked: "What's the solution?"
Ji Cha said: "Ask the person named Su where Hu Yinyin's family lives, and then take advantage of the night to kill her entire family. That way there will be no problem."
Hong Chen frowned: "How can you kill people casually?"
Ji Cha made a "chee" sound and said, "Hey, when you killed Wu Daotai before, wasn't it very clean and tidy? You were obviously interested in Wu Yinyin and couldn't bear to kill her!"
"We are talking about business here, and you are messing around."
Hong Chen was quite unhappy: People around him were so miserable that they wanted to die, but you just kept talking and joking.
Ji Cha, however, didn't take it seriously: "What's wrong with me? What's wrong with me? Hu Yinyin doesn't mess around. She only calls people 'good brother' and 'good brother'. She's so gentle and virtuous. Go find her."
"
"you……"
Hong Chen opened his mouth, knowing that it was useless to say anything, he waved his hands angrily and rushed out of the door.
As soon as he walked out of the Su family's door, Hong Chen was still upset. Although he had only been in contact with Su Liangjing for two or three days, he could tell that he was a loyal and honest person. If he hadn't been deceived, he wouldn't have had the courage to do anything.
Something forbidden.
The autumn wind blew on his head, Hong Chen felt the coolness of the autumn day, and suddenly felt many thoughts rushing into his mind: "It's forbidden? Brother Su just made some weapons for people, how can it be forbidden? It's stipulated by Dayu law
Is it? And who made the law? It should be called
The person who is the 'Emperor', 'Emperor' and 'Holy One'. Then I will kill him? No, even if I kill him, won't others create another emperor? Aren't they implementing almost the same laws?
Wouldn’t a good man like Brother Su still be framed in the same way?”
It is obviously autumn when everything is dry, but worries are taking root and sprouting in his heart like spring seeds. Hong Chen is walking on the street where there are more and more people, looking at the gorgeously dressed pedestrians, looking at the tall buildings with high eaves and flying tiles, and thinks of the things that have happened from the sky.
Most of the refugees I saw along the way when I came from the north of Beijing were in ragged clothes and lived in shacks, and I felt more confused: "What Brother Su said at that time
Here, it seems to be mentioned that the refugees will be expelled. Why does the court want to expel them? Some people in Tianjing can live well and live well without doing anything, but some people work hard every day and cannot live in a house that does not leak.
, why are there so many differences? If I bring bamboo rats to Tianjing to sell them, will the imperial court send someone to arrest me because the martial arts people have eaten my bamboo rat meat?"
When he was in Yunzhou, Hong Chen was filled with the joy of seeing the colorful world and the excitement of several ups and downs. But when he arrived in Tianzhou, the freshness gradually disappeared, replaced by confusion about the future and the confusion about the world.
dissatisfied people
We are subjected to harsh government and heavy taxes, and many of them live in dire straits every day. Those who call themselves heroes and sect gangs who claim to be righteous generally do not dare to confront the government. They only care about their own business and kill some bandits.
Promote it everywhere.
Hong Chen always felt that he should do something, but he didn't know what to do. Just like he didn't know how to help Su Liangjing, he didn't know how to make a change in the world. He was walking on the street, sighing as he walked. Suddenly.
He noticed that someone was walking towards him quickly, so he stopped and saw a small salesman carrying a load, and said, "I'm sorry, I don't have any money with me, so I can't buy anything from you."
The little salesman came to Hong Chen and said, "It doesn't matter whether you want to buy something or not. Little brother, I saw you walking alone on the road with a knife. You haven't gone anywhere for a long time. Are you waiting for someone?"
?”
Hong Chen said: "It's nothing, I'm just feeling upset and taking a walk."
The little salesman said again: "Little brother, I kindly remind you that you are armed and don't walk around in the street. If you are seen by nosy people, you may have to report it to the government. If a few come over,
Poor catcher
They have to charge you with "bringing a knife through the city and disturbing people's hearts" to trick you into giving you some money. Since you don't have any money on you, and they are in a bad mood when they catch up, they might even arrest you and send you to the Yamen.
