At night, Han You, wearing a black robe, and Gong Xingming, the governor of Pingcheng, were walking on the beach.
The two of them walked casually like friends for many years, strolling under the moonlight and chatting, but what they talked about was human life.
"Qiu Qiancheng has to die. I can't bear to see people who cheat on others."
Gong Xingming looked angrily: "In the Three Roads of the East China Sea, there are either evil thieves who deserve to be punished, such as this old man, a man in the blue-shirted school house like this old man, or a hero who is determined to serve the country and the people. He is better, The evil thief's methods and the good man's reputation must be eradicated. I deceived him and the general took his life."
Han You rolled his eyes: "Then let me ask you, Mr. Evil Thief, whose life you want to trade Qiu Qiancheng's life for."
"How about my grandson? He is only six years old and doesn't understand anything at that age. He is a good boy and very well-behaved."
"OK, alright."
"Wait a minute, no, how can the life of a grandson be so worthless? In addition to Qiu Qiancheng, I will add one more, what about Yao Shunkai, the prefect of Guancheng, I will kill him for you and send his head. The lives of these two people will be exchanged for my grandson. How is his life?"
Han You stopped and said with a half-smile: "Do you want an extra layer of insurance, or do you feel that the imperial court will definitely destroy you guys from the East China Sea, so you are taking precautions?"
"I feel that the imperial court cannot handle this matter. They must have killed a lot of people, but they may not be able to kill me, let alone touch my Gong family. However, be careful to sail the Wannian ship. I have watched Qiu Qiancheng and others If you don't like someone, you should kill someone with a borrowed knife."
Han You gave a thumbs up, no wonder he is such a villain, so damn frank.
"How about this."
Han You also said half-jokingly: "If you can give me the head of Yu Yunyao, the commander of the Three-way Boat Master in the East China Sea, and I will protect the lives of your Gong family's children under six years old, how about it?"
"Yu Yunyao's head sounds so loud."
Gong Xingming shook his head: "I don't have this ability, you don't have this ability, and the court doesn't have this ability."
Han You shrugged and said unconcernedly: "We'll see."
Gong Xingming didn't argue. There was no need to argue. Everyone had different perceptions and different information. He couldn't convince the other party, and there was no reason to convince the other party.
The two fell into silence again and walked on the beach.
Shu Hua, however, grabbed Tie Chen who was watching the excitement, lowered his head and asked something, and the two of them whispered to each other.
After walking for a long time, Han You broke the silence: "Has Master Gong ever harmed the people?"
"Why does the general know so well and ask questions?"
Gong Xingming couldn't laugh or cry: "If you don't harm the people, how can I gain a foothold in the East China Sea? If you don't harm the people, how did my Gong family get such a big family business? If you don't harm the people, how can I, Gong Xingming, serve as the governor of Pingcheng?"
"You know there will be retribution for this, right?"
"That's what the world says, but I disagree."
Gong Xingming looked like he was thinking seriously: "God must be too busy with things to take care of the East China Sea."
"Then what if one day you take care of it? Have you heard of the saying that justice may be late, but it will not be absent."
"This statement is wrong. Justice that is delayed is not justice. It is just a reluctant comfort for the suffering people."
"It makes some sense." Han You glanced sideways at Gong Xingming: "Then it's settled, I will take the lives of Deputy Commander Qiu Qiancheng and Guancheng Magistrate Yao Shunkai. In exchange for your grandson's safety, I will kill Qiu Qiancheng." , Yao Shunkai’s head was brought to me.”
"good."
"But you have to remember, you will die too, and I will kill you. To be honest with you, sir, I have a list of people who must die, and Lord Gong's name is at the top."
"Hahahaha." Gong Xingming laughed again: "General, I'm afraid he won't be able to kill me."
Shu Huaxing, who was following behind, suddenly said in a hurry: "Old man, how about a gamble."
Lu Baichuan glared at Shu Hua fiercely and signaled this guy not to interrupt.
Gong Xingming came back to his senses and looked at Shu Hua, slightly confused.
"Strange, I know all the confidants of General Han, including the loyal and courageous Wang Xianbo, the treacherous general Lu Baichuan in the army, the vanguard Tan Ma Jiang Zhui, the young prince Yang who can penetrate with a hundred steps, the great craftsman Ji who conquers the sky, the small counselor Beimen Yuyong, and the southern army. The iron general Fu Yuxiang, the commoner capable official Pei Qi, the emperor's personal aide Zhang Zhuo, the iron lady Yu Qi of the Villa, the young scholar Tang Jing of the Four Seasons Academy, and several other princes and highnesses, but you, only you... "
Gong Xingming frowned slightly: "If you dare to interject Shaoyin's words, you must not be an unknown person. Why have I never heard of you or seen your portrait?"
Han You was stunned, as were the group of friends behind him, and a group of soldiers with jealousy on their faces.
Han You felt a turmoil in his heart: "Do you have our portraits?"
"Of course there are. There are portraits of the general and portraits of the general's confidants. Everyone knows his life story, what he likes and what he dislikes."
Han You's expression changed drastically: "Where did you get the portrait?"
Gong Xingming was confused by the question and didn't understand why Han You asked nonsense.
This is indeed nonsense. Everyone in the world knew that Han You was coming to the East China Sea, and they also generally knew what Han You was doing in the East China Sea.
The sword is pointing at the East China Sea. Why don't these locals in the East China Sea go to inquire for information? Han You and other people have already found out their names, who they look like, and their portraits are spread everywhere, as long as they are in the East China Sea. Both the gangsters and the prominent ones have their portraits.
Shu Hua pushed Lu Baichuan away and came to Gong Xingming with a provocative look.
"Gamble, do you dare? I bet you that Gong Xingming is afraid."
"Afraid?"
"Yes, you are afraid, you are afraid to the core. It is precisely because of fear that you are here."
"joke."
While he was telling a joke, Gong Xingming had an inexplicable look in his eyes.
Shu Hua's tone was extremely determined: "If you dare to bet, just bet if you are afraid, then bet on a head."
"I haven't asked this young general what his name is yet."
"Do you think I am stupid for telling you my name so that you, the remnant of the Gong family, can go to Nanguan to seek revenge on my relatives in the future?"
Gong Xingming smiled and said nothing, you are not that smart. He claimed that he must be serving in the army. He also said that in Nanguan, he must be serving in a camp of the southern army. He is so young, he should be a school captain.
Shu Hua twitched his fingers and said, "Since there is so much nonsense, I'm just asking you if you dare to bet."
"I don't like gambling."
"Look, just say you're scared."
"Why do you say that?"
"You made the bet first. If the bet comes true, I will let you know later."
Gong Xingming stared at Shu Hua without saying a word.
Han You also looked at Shu Hua, wondering what this kid meant.
The same was true for everyone else. No one could tell that Gong Xingming was afraid, he was afraid to the core.
If this old guy is afraid, how can he dare to take the initiative to come to the door, let alone have someone to rely on? If something happens to him, the "people" will be in chaos. Once there is chaos, it is very likely that the whole body will be affected. It gets out of hand and the consequences are disastrous, which is what everyone fears most.
The chaos in the East China Sea is a secret turbulence, not a chaos on the surface. This secret chaos can at least guarantee peace and stability in name. Once there is chaos on the surface, the only way to solve the problem is through violence. This kind of chaos can at least guarantee nominal peace and stability. The way to solve the problem will undoubtedly maximize the losses to the country.
"You don't bet." Shu Hua smiled slightly: "It means you are indeed afraid. If you are not afraid, why don't you bet."
Gong Xingming's expression changed slightly, and his expression had a very obvious change.
Han You looked deeply at Shu Hua. The money was well spent. It wasn't him who spent it, but his father spent it well.
Although he didn't understand what Shu Hua meant, this kid's brain was so good that he had no choice but to enter the urn.
If you say you are afraid, if you say you are not afraid, then you will bet. If you do not dare to gamble, then you are afraid. If you are afraid, then you are... afraid.
Gong Xingming looked indifferent and very interested, with his hands on his sleeves, he said calmly: "Okay, how about I make a bet with you? What if you lose?"
"I'll give you a life, the life of the Gong family, you can protect whoever you want, your life will be..."
Jiang Zhui kicked Shu Hua on the butt: "Be careful what you say!"
Many of the friends looked unhappy, and they really didn't like Shu Hua's unorganized appearance. Even Jiang Zhui, who was usually the worst, frowned.
When there are no outsiders, everyone talks casually. Han You never cares. When there are outsiders, it is still business. No one will speak easily, including Wang Hai. This is the consensus of everyone and is an unwritten rule.
Han You smiled and said, "Let him bet."
"Ha, Shao Yin still knows me well. I will win every bet."
Shu Hua rolled up his sleeves and looked like he was going to fight with someone. With a joking look on his face, he slowly spoke.
