The wind whistled, the loess tombs stood alone, and more than ten people sat around in silence.
This sound of hatred penetrates the sky, infinitely tragic.
"I am the only one who survived. I know that Gu Chengfeng is not a hero at all. He clearly killed thousands of brothers because of his greed for credit." Zhao Pingyang's eyes were red, with blazing anger. "The most hateful thing is that at the critical moment, he actually Pull the people around you to block the knife."
After finishing speaking, he raised his head and laughed, but tears flew out of the corners of his eyes, "Such a person becomes a hero and is respected as a loyal general respected by thousands of people. Hahaha - ridiculous! Sad!"
I laugh at the people of the world and pity the soldiers who died in vain.
The laughter stopped, and a sinister light flashed in his eyes, "Gu Chengfeng deserves to die, and Li He deserves to die. If he hadn't gone out in advance to grab military glory and aroused the pirates' alert, the entire army would not have been annihilated."
Lu Anran finally understood why Zhao Pingyang targeted the Gu family again and again. In his opinion, Gu Chengfeng died, but the Gu family enjoyed Feng Yin, which was equivalent to the same crime.
Yun Qi asked in question: "But I heard that it was Gu Chengfeng who unexpectedly captured the pirates' lair, which ended the naval battle early." This is also the reason why Gu Chengfeng has the highest achievements.
Zhao Pingyang tried his best to endure his anger, "The real hero is General An. He is knowledgeable, wise and courageous, so Gu Chengfeng has been suppressing him overtly and covertly. At that time, General An realized something was wrong and asked Gu Chengfeng to take people to take a detour. Gu Chengfeng was stubborn and refused to listen at all. .”
"Then the pirates came over, and Gu Chengfeng gave random orders, but was pressed forward step by step. At the critical moment, An Shenjiang led more than 30 people with good water skills to break out, lurk from the bottom of the sea, and took the opportunity to destroy the pirate camp, and then waited until Reinforcements from General Sun arrived and wiped out all the pirates."
But a group of them all died heroically.
Zhao Pingyang covered his eyes with one hand, rejecting the sunlight outside the cave door, and said gloomily: "I am a soft-spoken person, and I can't even prove my identity. How can I tell the truth to the world? At that time, the emperor had already issued the imperial decree, and it was a foregone conclusion. , I know I can’t get justice, and since everyone is dead, justice doesn’t matter.”
This is Zhao Pingyang's compromise, and he can only accept the helplessness of reality in a state of confusion.
Qi Shang could not speak, so Yun Qi had to ask himself: "What happened next? Why did you appear in the capital?"
Zhao Pingyang took a breath and took off his hand. After covering up his grief and anger, his face became extremely cold again, "People like you will never see someone in their lifetime just because they look down on the disease and watch themselves in pain day after day. Staying up all day waiting to die."
"I just want to help them get back the money they deserve. It's the money their sons, brothers, husbands, and fathers died in exchange for. Why should it be wasted."
"The local government couldn't do it, so I went to the royal capital to complain. Fortunately, I have a brother named Wang Shouren. He is from the royal capital, so I took his road guide and identity card."
Wang Shouren also lost his parents, but he had an older brother. Before, the two brothers depended on each other, but then the older brother got married. His sister-in-law didn't want to see him, so she went to the army angrily, intending to make some good appearances before going back.
Lu Anran guessed: "Did you go to Jingzhao Mansion?"
Zhao Pingyang was silent for a while and said: "I didn't know until I came to the capital that there are nobles everywhere in the capital, and the relationships between people are closer and more complicated. What can I do as a person with no way out? I finally paid someone to write it. When I handed over the petition, I followed the instructions in the play and beat the drums to express my grievances, but I couldn’t even see the governor of Jingzhao. Only the master came from below. Before I could hand over the petition, I was beaten and injured.”
The longer he stayed in the royal capital, the more Zhao Pingyang felt powerless as a poor commoner. He had no way to appeal, and no place to complain if he had any grievances. If he wanted to go back, he had no face to face those faces full of anticipation.
After thinking about it, he came up with a way, "I found the Gu family and threatened them that if they don't help me sue the court, I will tell the story about Gu Chengfeng."
A person who appeared out of nowhere was not taken seriously by the Gu family at all.
"This is the only way I can go. I originally planned to hold Gu Chengfeng's sister hostage to negotiate terms, but something went wrong and ended up causing death."
"Wang Shouren's identity can no longer be used. I was hiding in a brothel to work as a handyman, and accidentally met an out-of-town businessman who fell into the river and died. I took his identity card in the dark."
So, he became Zou Taiyao.
"Half a year ago, Xu Zhongshou's son beat people in the street. He was very arrogant and domineering, and did not treat civilians as human beings at all." Zhao Pingyang looked gloomy, and his weathered face was as sharp as the sunset.
“There are three types of people in the army, those who are promoted through the protection of their ancestors and those who come to the army to be gilded so that they can be appointed officials after they return;
The second type is to have a good relationship with the court and have a letter of introduction, which is equivalent to someone protecting you;
The third type is ordinary people. No matter how great the contributions made by people at this level, the credit goes to the first two people. They rush to the front line, kill the most enemies and shed the most blood, but they can't reach the top in this life. A captain will never really stand out. "
Xu Zhongshou, Xue Youqing, and Jiang Qiang are the first two categories. They are domineering in the army, greedy for life and fear of death in the face of the enemy, and finally shamelessly impose other people's military achievements on themselves, enjoying the glory that should belong to others with peace of mind.
Zhao Pingyang sneered coldly: "Xu Zhongshou was showing off his power in the military camp, but I didn't expect that his son would go even further."
Yun Qi's heart suddenly jumped: "So you killed him?"
Zhao Pingyang raised his eyes and glanced at him. There was no wave in his eyes, as if they were melting into the thick black night. It was desolate and lifeless inside, which would only drag people into the deep darkness and despair.
"I came to the capital once, not just to open my mouth, but to look at the souls of those who died unjustly behind me. They sacrificed their lives for the country, but their wives, children, and parents were starving and freezing. They protected the country, and the country What can they do to protect their children and parents?
I have no face to go back, and there is only one remaining life left in my body.
With no choice but to make a risky move. "
When a person's humanity is completely wiped out, malice will grow little by little, slowly spreading out from the heart until it covers the whole body.
Zhao Pingyang hated the unfairness of the world, hated people for speaking softly, and hated the lack of eyesight. He combined this strong grief and anger with the desperate situation of no end, and asked him to make a decision——
If he does a big case that shocks the royal capital, he will have a chance to speak in court.
"Do you believe in cause and effect?" Zhao Pingyang lowered his head, huddled in the shadows, and said in a cryptic voice, "I will use the strategies that General An taught me in the next case."
After more than a month of tracking, checking locations, and drawing up plans, he finally found an opportunity to kidnap someone and kill him using mysterious methods he heard.
Lu Anran lowered his eyes, his eyes fell on Zhao Pingyang, and Qingyin said: "You killed people to redress injustice in court, why did you change your mind later?"
Zhao Pingyang actually planned to do this. After killing the people, he surrendered to the county government office. It was worth it to trade a low life for justice.
As for the concubine of Xu Zhongshou's family, he believed that his death was not unjust.
The mistake was that as soon as he walked to the door of Jingzhao Mansion, he saw one of the people who had embezzled money and Bo, the head of the government office, coming out with a smile. He even heard the boss Bo say: "Don't worry, Mr. Liu, even if the untouchables knock on the door, It's useless to complain a hundred times, he has a sky hanging over his head, how can he turn the sky upside down?"
While the two were laughing, Zhao Pingyang's last thought was shattered. Since the government couldn't give him justice, he would use his own method.
The general himself was good at using force and was often accompanied by his guards. Zhao Pingyang had no choice but to find his family members, so the concubines of the Xue Mansion and the young men of the Jiang Mansion were all killed in his hands.
Yun Qi put the fan handle against his chin, and there was confusion in his eyes: "After the death of the young man in the Jiang family, and before the Jun Tao case, there was no crime for more than three months. What were you planning at that time?"
Zhao Pingyang twisted the hemp rope tightly with his rough fingers, and with a little force, the unconscious Rongan County Lord would lose the fragrance. He raised his head, his eyes were dark, "I met those two beasts at the brothel. , I wanted to take action when no one was around, but I didn’t expect them to bring their men down, but they were beaten severely." His free hand slowly stroked down from his knee, "This leg is now lame."
Before coming here, Lu Anran had never thought that he would hear such a shocking truth. It was clear and sunny, but he always felt that there was a lingering shadow.
Jun Tao's death was due to her close relationship with Gu Chengfeng. Li He deserved death in Zhao Pingyang's mouth, and the old woman made Zhao Pingyang sigh slightly after maintaining his indifference for more than an hour.
"I thought she was Li He's subordinate at first. It wasn't until I killed her that I realized something was wrong." Zhao Pingyang chuckled as if there was bubbling in his throat, and said with a strange face: "If you die, you will die. If you live, you will be a lackey of a wealthy family."
Lu Anran was silent. Zhao Pingyang had gone through catastrophes and experienced all the injustices in the world. His views had completely changed, and he no longer had the ordinary people's feelings of self-respect and compassion for others.
"Where's Wuka?" Yun Qi asked.
Zhao Pingyang thought for a while before remembering, "Young disciple from Jixia Palace? He killed someone and shouldn't die?"
Yun Qi did not use it to argue with Zhao Pingyang that murder convictions should be convicted by the government. He said in a different way: "Wuka had a tragic life experience. I thought you would have empathy."
Zhao Pingyang said: "In this case, it is better to die early and be released early."
Yunqi tapped his forehead with his fingers, but he had nothing to say.
"But that kid is a bit interesting." Zhao Pingyang said expressionlessly: "He betrayed his friends, but he also died for his friends."
Through Zhao Pingyang's narration, Yun Qi and Lu Anran learned that Wuka secretly left the room that night because Zhao Pingyang handed him a false message, saying that he could exonerate Xu Shao and that the murderer was another person who could not deal with Yin Subaru. people.
This is undoubtedly the best news for Wuka. That way, he does not have to be convicted for Yin Piaru, nor does he have to bear the guilt of Xu Shaokai.
"The story ends here." Zhao Pingyang stood up from the ground, wearing an armor shaped like a steel knife, with a powerful momentum, sharp eyes, and a hint of bloodthirsty evil, "There is no justice in the world, and evil should be changed by evil."
