"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha."
Luo Shiniang shook her handkerchief and laughed so hard that her flowers trembled. This laughter sounded like the cry of a treacherous weasel.
"Second brother, third brother, I thought you were here to reminisce about old times, but I didn't expect you were here to be lobbyists for the government. Girl, I really don't understand."
Yue Qingshan's throat rolled and he took a sip of tea. He finally understood why her eyes looked like sharp knives under her warm skin.
Probably, Luo Shiniang played herself as a good citizen for thirty or forty years. Hidden under this docile skin is a terrifying face like a yaksha. Only in this way can she survive the relationship between the old and the new in the last days of the previous dynasty.
"Sister, it doesn't matter if you say it. If you can say that you are happy, it will be a good thing."
Yue Qingshan understood that since the Golden Rat Society had returned to the world, it was bound to cause a bloody storm. If he wanted to solve the problem of the Golden Rat Society, he really could only start with Luo Shiniang.
She coughed a few times and became stern in her words: "Second brother, third brother, you also came from a miserable background. You were also chased by the government and forced to disguise yourself. You even pretended to be bandits and fled outside the customs. Even if there is nothing between you and the government, We should not be colluding with each other if we have deep hatred."
"I, Luo Shiniang, have been victimized by treacherous ministers and the government since I was a teenager. Even in middle age, I can't escape pursuit. The government and I have always been enemies of life and death. In those years, if I hadn't been saved by Boss Zhu, we would have been killed. Chen Duozi and the others have probably been eaten clean by the fish in Dongting Lake."
Speaking of this, Luo Shiniang had rare tears in her eyes. She realized that she had lost her composure and quickly suppressed her sadness: "After we joined the Green Boat Club, it was Boss Zhu who gave us asylum for the second time. However, all of this They were also harmed by these old bureaucrats and Westernizers. Not only were all the brothers in the association killed or injured, but even the innocent boat people were forced to death by these jackals, tigers and leopards."
"What's even more annoying are the people in Yueyang City!"
When Luo Shiniang mentioned these people, her eyes suddenly turned bitter and she gritted her teeth and said, "They know clearly that the case is suspicious and the boat people were wronged, but they still make the same mistakes again and again. They are willing to be coerced by the scam and cheer for these corrupt officials."
"If it hadn't been for them, I'm afraid the case bureau would not have made the mistake and forced those hundreds of good young people to death. These common people are still not good people compared to the government. They just don't dare to use knives to commit murder. They are just using the excuse The government's sword only kills people, but if three people become tigers, they are not good people."
After she finished speaking, the depression in her heart seemed to surge endlessly, and she looked up to the sky and choked up: "It's ridiculous, it's ridiculous. Those who do good will suffer poverty and shorten their lives. Those who do evil will enjoy wealth and longevity. Those who serve as officials will become greedy and pervert the law." Wealth, for the people, does not distinguish between good and evil and hides a dark heart." m.
"In the rivers and lakes, people are killed and set on fire. There are no corpses when building bridges and repairing roads among the people. Good people are oppressed and cannot stand up. People who do evil are rich and powerful. Anyone who steps on the stage wants to step on thousands of feet." The smooth road back is trampled into mud, so that later people will stumble and suffer big losses."
"This world, up and down, inside and out, is already in ruins. How can I continue to live in this world? Whoever owes the Qingchuan Hui's life, I will never end with him!"
Yue Qingshan looked at Luo Shiniang. Although she was sad, there was not even a trace of tears in her eyes. Only the boundless resentment overflowed from the corners of her eyes, which made people's hair stand on end. What's even more terrifying is that these are not Luo Shiniang's deliberate slander. It's about the true feelings of the world and the people.
Because of this, Yue Qingshan could not help but feel restless and his palms were stained with sweat.
"Sister, these are all sins committed by the previous government, so what do they have to do with the Republic of China?" Sun Daqiao interjected.
Luo Shiniang: "Third brother, don't you know this temple thing when you have been in the world? The so-called Republic of China is just a change of soup without a change of medicine. Even if you change the face, you can't hide the rotten skin. The five internal organs are still these corrupt officials."
"Back then!" She paused, picked up a Buddhist bead and dialed one: "When the old Queen Mother abdicated with Emperor Xuantong, the Yueyang government didn't even fire a gunshot, and only knocked down the tiles on the head of the government office. A few pieces, hiding the fox tail, transformed into the Government of the Republic of China, the prefect became the governor, and all of them became the local commissioners and section chiefs of the new dynasty. Could it be that such a bureaucrat became the Qingtian University just because he changed his skin? master?"
When Yue Qingshan heard this, he felt more and more like a lump in his throat. He wanted to refute but couldn't find a reason at all. He had been in Xing'an Mountains for too long. Since ancient times, the imperial power had not been sent to the countryside. He had not received much training from the government. Luo Shiniang was in Yueyang City. Although he was hiding in the city, he could clearly see the government and his minions.
He could only give some words of persuasion: "Sister, you have also killed nearly a thousand people. Isn't this called revenge? If you continue to kill, not only will you be exposed, but you will probably continue to attract the government to pursue you. There is a way of repaying injustice, and if you can just let it go, you may be able to change your future destiny."
"Do you know what Mr. Zhu was thinking before he died?"
His words made Luo Shiniang curious: "Could it be that Mr. Zhu is not dead?"
"It is true that he is not dead. After Chen Duozi and the others protected him from escaping, Mr. Zhu regretted what he had done and became a fisherman by Dongting Lake. He has been making a stable living since then. If he hadn't known his story from his posts , there is no way we can get this official silver."
"I think Mr. Zhu can keep his official banknotes because he wants to unravel the sinful debts he has made one day. Like you, he has been persecuted by the world, but why can he cancel the past? Sister, it is you who are too obsessed. Shen, you shouldn’t have to carry this, why don’t you take off these burdens from your shoulders and walk through the great rivers and mountains of the Republic of China.”
Luo Shiniang fiddled with the Buddhist beads and looked at him with a slight start. She seemed to have not expected that Yue Qingshan would say this, and was also shaken by her actions: "Since the second brother persuaded me so hard, considering the friendship between you and me, Come on, I can promise you not to kill anyone again."
"But one person has to die, and this is the last person I want to kill."
"who?"
"Squire Fulu!"
Yue Qingshan also guessed that Fulu was the culprit of the Qingchuanhui tragedy. Luo Shiniang did not kill him for a long time because she wanted him to live in fear of revenge.
"I don't care who you kill, but all I ask is that after you dig out the official silver, use it on the right path."
After Yue Qingshan finished speaking, he slightly cupped his hands towards Luo Shiniang: "If I have some free time, I would like to offer incense sticks to the masters of the Golden Flower Hall."
Luo Shiniang understood and took them up to the attic at the top of the theater. After unlocking the lock, it was a small room with memorial tablets of the Golden Rat Society and the Green Boat Society on the left and right.
On the north-facing shrine, the Zhu Qinghe card is in the middle, and the other four hall masters are arranged on the left and right, each enjoying a memorial ceremony. The ash in the incense burner is stacked, showing that the incense is endless. Yue Qingshan and Sun Daqiao picked up the incense sticks and lit them towards The memorial tablet was worshiped again and again.
"Hua Guzi, Chen Duozi, Bai Shenque, Bai Xuanwu, second brother and third brother are here to see you."
Although Luo Shiniang is cynical, she still retains a touch of warmth when facing her old friends, and her words become gentle.
Some people died, but not completely...
