Volume 2 Jiang Guo Chapter 11 Day 2
Normally, at this time, there will be officials coming to the morning court one after another, but no one has shown up today. It seems that no one will come, and it is estimated that they escaped from the city overnight last night. Yan Che didn't want anyone to come, he was extremely disappointed in this country, except for Yan Qinghou, there was not even a single person who stepped forward. When the old ones are gone, there will be new, more suitable ones elected. This is exactly what Yan Che wants to replan the country's top leaders.
But there were also unexpected things, there was a well-mannered person, wearing an official uniform, and walked slowly into the temple. The official, who seemed to be very young, was in his early twenties, and with pen and ink in his hand, came to the side of the throne. There was a table there, which seemed to have been there all along, and the officer sat down in front of it, opened the paper, and laid out the pen and ink.
Yan Che became curious and asked the official, "Why do you dare to come to the court?"
The official replied very calmly: "Below is the historian of Jiang Guo, recording the major events in the DPRK and China. No matter if you are sick, married, or mourned, or if the country rises or falls, you will never leave your post. β
"Oh, so what are you going to write about today?"
"It is truthfully recorded, yesterday was the sixth day of the fourth month of the thirtieth year of King Jiang Zhao of Jiang Kingdom, the demon Yan Che occupied the palace, today is the seventh day of the fourth month, the demon sat on the throne, and no one was present except for Yan Qinghou. β
"Do you think I'm acting so recklessly and recklessly, do you think I deserve to die?"
"The historian only records the development of events, and does not add personal emotions. I took the liberty of asking, who were the four civilians in the palace? What did they do when they were placed in the palace? What are the names of the demon king's subordinates? β
At this moment, the big face of the green wolf suddenly appeared in front of the historian, and although the historian was not lightly frightened, he still sat calmly in his position. The green wolf deliberately scared him, but he didn't expect this human to be quite kind. He said to the historian: "You kid have to write well, tell you that Uncle Ben is a green wolf, the strongest orc under Young Master Yan Che, and the most powerful of all." I am the strongest warrior of the Demon Wolf Clan, invincible, you quickly write Uncle Ben's name. β
"Okay, green wolf, one of the orcs under the Demon King Yan Che. β
"What? what about the adjectives that describe me as strong and brave?" asked the young wolf, dissatisfied.
"This official only records the facts, and does not add fuel to the vinegar and write useless words. β
After saying this, everyone else laughed, and the young wolf was so angry that he wanted to hit him, but seeing the young master's face, he didn't seem to be able to move him, so he left angrily. The historian asked the others about their identities, and the others reported them one by one: Ji Wumei, female appearance, in fact, genderless, blood-winged, dark red-skinned, age seventy-seven; ghost Shili, ghost ghost, appearance is an old man, but only a shell, no gender, over 1,000 years old, holding a cane with a skeleton on the top; shark breaking evil, demon tribe demon sea tribe, tiger shark man, skin like a fish, gills on the side of the neck, one hundred and twenty-two years old; Hua Yao, flower stamen, twin sisters, flower demon in the flower world, dressed in green plants and flowers, accompanied by a strange fragrance, sisters were born in the same year and the same day, and have been in human form for more than 80 yearsγ
It seems that everyone is not very satisfied with this historian, and they have written them too simply. After all, it is recorded in history for human beings to see, and writing so ordinarily cannot arouse the fear and desire of human beings at all. But this historian was still unruly, and even though a bunch of demons and monsters gathered around him, he still finished writing, and then put the brush on the table, quietly waiting for what was going to happen today.
Yan Che admired this historian a little, both in courage and will, and he asked, "What's your name?"
"In the dismount Shuheng, dare to ask the details of the life of the Demon King?"
"It's quite polite, you don't need to call me sir, I'm not used to your officialdom titles. You just write that I'm just one of the most obscure demons in the demon race. β
"Okay, if there is a change in the future, I will change the obscurity to the common punishment of man and god. β
As soon as he said this, everyone felt that he was impatient, and the green wolf wanted to go up and break his neck with one hand. Unexpectedly, Yan Che smiled instead.
"Did you say this as a historian? Didn't you say that you don't know how to write history with personal feelings?"
"No, I am a historian in the court, and I will not change everything that happened in Jiang Guo. But in normal times, I am just an ordinary mortal, and as an ordinary person, I can express my feelings. So, at the moment I will not write these words into the annals of history, but after all, I have said that this sentence will be written in the future. The big husband dares to do it, if the demon king kills me because of my disrespectful words. If I die, there will always be someone in the position of historian. Even if the country is ruined, the historian will stick to the palace and do his duty. β
"Very good, you are very good at being a man. If everyone in the world were like you, I honestly wouldn't want to come this far. Today, you Jiang Guo have come here, and you are all to blame. You say that I am condemned by man and God, but I say that I am saving people, will you believe it?"
Ma Shuheng naturally shook his head, Yan Che also knew that he would not believe it, and did not talk about this topic again.
Yan Che later looked at the people brought by the attendants, a crazy woman, he didn't look at it much, and asked Hua Yao what was going on with Hua Rui, and the flower girls didn't know, she was crazy on the way here. Probably her own poppy eventually affected her.
Then a middle-aged woman, Sister Yao brought by Ji Wumei, knelt on the ground. Yan Che approached her, and Sister Yao looked up at this figure who covered the sky with one hand in the national palace, and a sense of awe arose in her heart. Yan Che asked, "Do you know why I brought you?"
Sister Yao shook her head very calmly and said she didn't know.
"Each of you is the culprit who harmed the people of Jiang Country, you say you don't know?"
"Lord Demon King, although I know that I am nothing more than an ant in front of you, and I can trample to death at any time, you can't twist the merits. Saying that I am a scourge to the people, I only know that all the girls in my building are the real victims. Women have no place in this world at all, they are just tools for giving birth to children and reproducing offspring. A man can have three wives and four concubines, beat his wife, and even sell his wife for money when he has no money. Many women were despised by robbers in the village and lost their virginity, while the men not only did not understand, but drove them out of the village on the grounds that the women were dirty. How can a weak woman stand on her own feet in society? We all rely on our own bodies to make money, that is, we don't steal or rob, we really don't know what the crime is? If we are really guilty, we should kill all those who have negative intentions to relieve our hatred. β
Sister Yao's words made Yan Che suddenly understand that it seems that some things are not as simple as they seem. Yan Che learned that there is no humiliation and dignity to talk about in the face of survival, and living is the truth. But the way of life cannot go the wrong way, but the country does not give them a clear way, and if they explore it themselves, they will always go astray.
"If it really could, what woman would want to be naked and share a bed with a man she didn't love?" Sister Yao continued to ask, her voice seemed to be a little higher.
These words made Yan Che feel that this woman had gone through a lot, just like ordinary people say, if the person who is killed does not want to die, the only way to kill the person who wants to kill himself is to kill him; But the same person who may want to kill himself has the same idea as another person who does not want to be killed? Isn't this a circle of death? These women are precisely because they are abandoned, ruined, and influence others in order to survive, and the affected people will eventually be reduced to being hurt by others, thus taking the road that women are least willing to take.
Yan Che's subordinates scolded Sister Yao for her bad attitude and yelled at Yan Che. Yan Che had a lot of respect for the woman, and asked her to give her a seat, telling her that he would solve the problem she raised later. Usually there is a blanket where the officials sit, but today there are no palace maids and slaves, and the blankets are piled aside. Ji Wumei was also a little impressed by this woman, and personally brought her a blanket and asked her to sit down.
Yan Che skipped the crazy woman and asked her to be sent away. Blossom stretched out the vine and threw her out the door. The flower girl fell to the ground, unaware of the pain, got up and ran out frantically, still with the sentence "My big smoke" in her mouth. β
When it came to Luo Tong, Luo Tong was just a strong kowtow. When Yan Che walked in front of him, he looked up along Yan Che's feet, and when he saw Yan Che's face, he sat on the ground in shock. The demon king in the mouth of this crowd is the buyer who came to the market to see the slaves yesterday, and he didn't expect it to be a demon clan, and it only took one day to occupy Jiang Guo. Luo Tong knelt back and kowtowed, begging Yan Che to spare his life.
Yan Che saw Zhao Yige in Yan Qinghou's arms, this person was a good seedling in his own right, but now he was blinded by hatred. If you don't guide him now, he'll only have a harder time going next. He came to Zhao Yige's side and said to him again: "You have a pipa cone on you, I can help you take it off, but there is one condition." As long as you stop taking revenge and return to being a normal person. Now the man who is kneeling there has abused you for more than ten years, and some people in this country have also harmed your family. They do damn it, but you shouldn't be left alone. Their results should be carried out by the state, but the decay of the country has failed to do so. You now make a choice, kill him with your own hands, or put him in prison, and he will be imprisoned for as many years as you want. Your choice will affect my personal judgment of you, and in my eyes, if you are not enlightened, you will not have the value of achieving great things. β
As soon as he heard that Zhao Yige might kill him, Luo Tong hurriedly kowtowed to Zhao Yige and begged him to spare him. And Zhao Yige staggered to his feet and walked slowly towards Luo Tong. In his heart, it is a small matter for him to be imprisoned, but it is a big matter for the soul of his family to not rest in peace. He pounced on Rotong and grabbed his neck with his hand. Luo Tong was choked by the neck, in pain, his face turned purple, and he was almost out of breath. At this time, Yan Che felt disappointed again and turned his back to him.
"Even if you kill everyone, the people of the world still think that your father is a traitor who collaborates with the enemy and betrays the country, do you want to kill all the people in the world?" At this time, Yan Qinghou spoke, and said the most important words to Zhao Yige, who had already made up his mind to kill. It was precisely this sentence that Zhao Yige's hands stopped. Luo Tong quickly exhaled heavily, as if he had climbed back from Huangquan Road. Yan Che also used his magic pupil to predict that things had changed, and the young man got up and left Luo Tong, walked behind Yan Che, and knelt down in front of Yan Che.
"General Yan is right, I didn't think of clearing up the grievances of my family for so many years, but just insisted on going my own way. Whether you are a god or a demon, if you can really help me fulfill my long-cherished wish, you can take everything from Yige. I hope that this country will become better, whether it is led by people or demons, as long as the tragedy of my family does not happen again. β
Yan Che turned around: "What do you have that I deserve to take away? I'm not a robber, I don't like to plunder. I just know that you can't rely on yourself to fight for what you don't have, you can't count on others for everything, I can help you become stronger in the future, you can do what you want to do, do the right thing. β
Yan Che's words obviously wanted Zhao Yige to join his command, Yan Qinghou sensed that things were not good, if such a child with an unlimited future was used by the demons, the consequences would be unimaginable. Yan Qinghou tried to stop Zhao Yige, but Yan Che had already made a move.
Yan Che came behind him and touched the lute cone with his hand. With a "huh", the lute cone disappeared from his back. Because the pipa cone had been inserted for too long, it had already been connected to his nerves, and Zhao Yige seemed to have lost consciousness all over his body and collapsed to the ground when he removed the pipa cone.
"Hua Yao Hua Rui, save him for me. If he is dead or crippled, you will go back to your father. β
The order was so sharp that for the first time the two little girls heard such a stern instruction from their master, they hurried to his side. Hua Rui used a spell to conjure branches on Zhao Yige's body as a skeleton to support his body, and then stabbed his acupuncture points with more than a dozen tree needles, while Hua Yao took out an elixir for him to take, and the two carried him away together. Yan Che said to Luo Tong: "You picked up a life, you have to thank him for his generosity." But you still have to have a punishment, you have to lock him up for more than ten years, I want to lock you up for twenty years, is there any point in you?"
Luo Tong thought that it was better to live than anything else, so he quickly nodded and agreed.
"Then you go to the prison and squat by yourself, once the time is not up to get out of the prison, your body will disappear from this world forever. β
Luo Tong still thought that he heard it right, although this demon man was extremely powerful, but his brain was not good, he pretended to agree, and hurriedly walked outside the hall. Walked to the door and stopped in front of him, patted him on the shoulder and said, "You have to listen to the young master's words clearly, once you leave the prison within twenty years......"
"Yes, the villain heard clearly, and the villain went to squat in the prison. Ghost Shili let go of his hand, and Luo Tong walked to the palace prison.
On the other side, the crazy flower girl came to the big smoke house. All the Great Smoke Houses were destroyed, and she searched through the rubble, finally finding her a complete pipe. She pulled out a crumbled cigarette cake from the rubble, lit it and smoked it. She was mentally abnormal, and she instantly calmed down. The people around saw her and came to watch. Suddenly, the flower girl felt a foreign object in her throat and grabbed her neck with her hand. Her eyes were bleeding and she fell to the ground in pain. Then he died with a whimper, and a large black spot on his neck. Hua Yao had already injected a blade of grass into her body, and as long as she took drugs again, she would die of poison. The people around saw that Hua Yiniang smoked a lot and died, and many people who were searching for tobacco leaves in the ruins hurriedly threw away all the tobacco leaves in their hands, and no one dared to touch her.
Luo Tong was on the way to the prison, and halfway through, he found that no one was following him and prepared to escape outside the palace. Running and running, I suddenly fell down with weakness under my feet. He wondered why his feet had suddenly lost sensation, and when he looked down at his feet, he found that his feet had turned to bones, and the flesh on his thighs was slowly rotting. He was terrified, grabbed the ground with his hands, and tried to crawl out of the palace. But when he stretched out his hand, he found that his outstretched hand had also turned into bones. He subconsciously stepped back, and the rotten flesh on his hand slowly grew back. Then he climbed a few more steps in the direction of the prison, and his hands and feet were back to normal. He tentatively walked in the direction of the outside of the palace again, and his feet began to rot again. He finally understood that what the demon king said was not a joke, the ghost Shili slapped on him, and set a spell on him, he was not allowed to go out of the enchantment within a certain range of the prison, and once he walked out, his body would disappear. He fell to his knees helplessly and wept bitterly, and finally walked into the prison honestly and locked himself up.
"Mr. Ghost, why do you only bring a soul?" Yan Che asked Ghost Shili.
"The old man has no power to restrain the chicken, if this person escapes, how can I stop him, just take the soul, and the young master can still ask questions. If the young master wants to release him, I will let him return to his physical body, and you don't have to do it yourself to kill him. β
"Or is he the boss of all the gambling houses in the city?"
"Yes. β
"He likes to gamble so much, let his soul go to the underworld, to bet with the king of Hades. If the bet wins, let him return to the flesh. β
"This is easy to do, the king of Hades and the old man have old friends, I will give him a gift, I guess he will be happy. But please also ask the young master to interrogate first, don't let the sinner's sentencing go wrong because of one-sided words. β
Although Ghost Shili is old, his mind is really clear, and Yan Che suddenly realized that he was judging because of his emotions. Mortals are most susceptible to being swayed by personal feelings, and they can't imagine that they have become like this because of anger. Yan Che immediately said that what Ghost Shili said was that he was too hasty. Then Qian Sheng's ghost spoke in front of Yan Che and told his affairs one by one. To put it bluntly, this Qian Sheng is also a victim of gambling, and gambling will lure people to fall from the day it is born. Yan Che looked at this hall and found that there was not even a person to pass the word. He asked Ma Shuheng how a situation like Qian Sheng's should be dealt with in the punishment of human beings.
Ma Shuheng said: "Demoted to hard labor and ten years of labor reform. β
Yan Che felt that such a punishment was very good, and asked Ghost Shili to get Qian Sheng's soul back into his body, and then bring it back to the palace, waiting for the fate.
There will be no more officials entering the hall, and there are only a few of them in the empty hall. Yan Che asked people to urge Yan Tiege, and at this time, Yan Tiege happened to come out with King Jiang, and King Jiang was still followed by Meng Sheng. Yan Che saw the key person coming, and was just about to speak, when he heard the sound of a crowd surging from outside the palace. Ji Wumei spread her wings and flew into the sky, and soon flew back, and said to Yan Che: "Young Master, it seems that you haven't been in a stable position for a day, and someone has come to grab your position." β
Yan Che smiled: "What I'm afraid of is that no one covets it, if we don't let them see our true strength, how can they obey convincingly?"
Ma Shuheng sat on the seat and wrote hard, what happened next was not something that could be simply written down in a few words, but defended with his life.
