For some reason, when Sun Ping looked at Zhang Ren with a serious look on his face, he unknowingly felt a sense of trust in his heart.
He laughed miserably, knowing that he didn't have many choices, so he might as well give it a try now. Even if he died, it wouldn't be a loss if he could unseat the Marquis of Pingliang.
Just listen to Sun Ping say slowly: "The matter started more than 20 years ago..."
Sun Ping was originally from Dingyuan. He was forced to join the local militia due to financial constraints. Later, Fei Ju, the Marquis of Pingliang (then the school captain) persuaded the militia to surrender. Since then, Sun Ping has been following Fei Ju on his eastern expedition. During the Western Campaign, Sun Ping went through countless battles and rose from a small soldier to the captain of the personal guard.
After the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Sun Ping served as Fei Ju's personal guard captain. After receiving numerous rewards, he was able to save some property. He bought good land and houses in Yingtian Mansion and married a daughter-in-law.
Sun Ping's daughter-in-law was just a girl from a small family. She was neither good-looking nor well-educated, but she was good at being clean and neat and a good housekeeper. Sun Ping and his wife lived a pretty good life. In the second year after their marriage, Sun Ping's wife gave birth to a fat boy for him, and two years later, she gave birth to a daughter.
At that time, although Sun Ping's family was not considered rich, it was much richer than other families. In addition, Sun Ping felt that his little life was a blessing.
It's a pity that the Ming Dynasty was not yet stable at that time. As a military household, Sun Ping would be drafted into the army every time Pingliang Hou Feiju went on an expedition. Sometimes it was common for him not to go home for two or three years.
Five years ago, Sun Ping went to Yunnan with the Marquis of Pingliang. He stayed there for two years. During these two years, he thought about his wife and children all the time.
Later, because the Marquis of Pingliang did not get along with Fu Youde, the Duke of Yingguo, on the front line, the Marquis of Pingliang was recalled to Yingtian.
Sun Ping knew that he could finally go home, and the family he longed for would finally meet each other. Moreover, he was already old. As long as he found a way out, he would no longer have to go out with the army in the future, and he could live happily with his wife and children. Little days.
For Sun Ping, happiness is so simple, but he never imagined that what he would see when he returned home would be a different scene.
The home was gone, the fertile farmland was gone, the house was completely burned by a fire, and after asking around, I found out that even my wife and children were beaten to death, and their bodies were thrown in the wild, even around Yingtian Mansion. There were no wild beasts. Under the scourge of snakes, insects, rats, ants, eagles and vultures, the family could not even leave a complete body. Sun Ping erected a tomb for his family. From that moment on, Sun Ping's heart died. .
Sun Ping originally wanted to commit suicide and go with his family, but as a grown man, how could he not avenge his wife and children? Even if I see my wife and children below, how can I recognize them?
From then on, Sun Ping embarked on the road of revenge. After many inquiries, he found out that when he went on an expedition with the Marquis of Pingliang, the Marquis of Pingliang's wife took a fancy to his family's fertile land. Sun Ping's wife did not give in despite repeated threats and inducements.
Mrs. Pingliang Hou has always been domineering and refused to give in? Then die. So Mrs. Pingliang Hou ordered her maid Xiuhe to lead someone to beat Sun Ping's wife and children to death.
It was just a few human lives, which was nothing in the eyes of Mrs. Pingliang Hou, but she would never have imagined that the man of the house was actually the chief of the bodyguard beside her husband. How could such a lawless nobleman investigate the background of this family when he was harming other people's lives? Fei Ju, the Marquis of Pingliang, also ignored the illegal things his wife did, and sometimes even personally came forward to settle the funeral arrangements.
In order to take revenge, Sun Ping relied on his relationship with the captain of the bodyguard to enter the Pingliang Marquis Mansion, and also obtained the position of training hounds. He was determined to make the Pingliang Marquis Mansion pay for its blood debt!
My whole family is dead and there are countless corpses, so your Pingliang Marquis Mansion must do the same.
After three years, the hound was finally trained successfully, and Sun Ping's moment of revenge came.
He first put medicine in the food of Mrs. Pingliang Hou and the maid Xiuhe. This medicine was also relatively rare. He spent a lot of money to get it. This medicine can make people unable to move or make a sound, but it can make people see. to hear everything.
Mrs. Pingliang Hou watched with her own eyes how she died. She saw her family's hounds disemboweling her, saw the hounds pulling out her intestines, and she also saw Sun Ping's cold smile standing aside. Mrs. Pingliang Hou's last consciousness was filled with endless fear. She was afraid that she would die from fear before she ran out of vitality.
Xiuhe was the same. She watched Sun Ping slash her body again and again. The cold blade scratched her skin. Xiuhe could clearly feel her blood dripping. Her pupils shrank and she wanted to cry out in fear. He screamed, but his throat couldn't make any sound.
Sun Ping laughed while rowing, and finally tears filled his eyes, and big tears fell down. Madam, son, daughter, did you see it? I've avenged you!
Sun Ping's stabbing was faster than the other, as if he was crazy. When he calmed down and stopped, Xiuhe had already lost his life.
After that, Sun Ping arranged a magnifying glass outside Xiu He's house. He experimented with the angle and distance of the magnifying glass many times at noon when no one was around. As long as it was noon, Xiu He's room would definitely burst into flames. As long as there was a fire, he would follow The other servants stay together, so that they can easily get rid of suspicion.
Then came the Marquis of Pingliang. From the bottom of my heart, Sun Ping had been with the Marquis of Pingliang for more than 20 years. As the captain of the guard, there was still some friendship. However, the Marquis of Pingliang allowed his wife to do evil and occupied all the property. In the name of Marquis Pingliang, and Sun Ping was completely jealous, Marquis Pingliang must also die, and all the sins will disappear.
Sun Ping only gave the Marquis of Pingliang ordinary sweat medicine, and planned to stab him to death and leave his body intact, which could be regarded as the end of the friendship on the battlefield. As long as this revenge is successful, Sun Ping plans to build a coffin for himself and bury himself next to the tombs of his wife and children.
It's a pity that the success fell short, and Zhang Ren and Gao Haiyong were killed at the last moment.
…
After Sun Ping finished speaking, he felt a lot more comfortable. Maybe he had no goal to live anymore. In just a moment, Sun Ping seemed to have aged ten years. Both his eyes and expressions were full of vicissitudes of life.
Zhang Ren was silent for a long time after listening to Sun Ping's story. He sympathized with Sun Ping in his heart, but felt that Sun Ping's actions were undesirable.
Zhang Ren asked Sun Ping, "Why don't you report it to the official?"
Sun Ping smiled, his smile full of sorrow, but also full of disdain and ridicule towards Daming. "Who said I didn't report it to the official? I've been to the Ministry of Justice's office, and after hearing my complaint, the assistant officer ordered someone to beat me twenty times and throw it out."
Zhang Ren didn't expect that Ming Dynasty's officialdom would be so dark. He said, "The Ministry of Punishment won't take your case? It's in vain for officials to protect each other!"
Zhang Renyi was filled with indignation, but Sun Ping shook his head, "At first I thought the same as you, but then I thought about it, that officer is a conscientious person, otherwise he would have tied me up and given me to the Marquis of Pingliang, or he would have given me to the Marquis of Pingliang." If this news spreads, I will definitely be doomed, so how can I get the chance to sneak into the Pingliang Marquis Mansion to seek revenge?"
