"Are you sure that before you arrived at the fishing village, you didn't know that the goods you were going to escort were those innocent women from good families?" Xu You said indifferently: "It's not that I don't believe you, it's that you broke your oath first, so I can't help but have more doubts!" ”

Shan Zong was silent for a moment, sat up straight, knelt on one knee, and added a five-inch-long short dagger between his right fingers, stretched out his left index finger, and sharply cut a deep blood mark.

Seven drops of blood fell, smeared into a weird irregular pattern, Shan Zong's expression* changed the hanger Langdang just now, and said: "Although I am an unworthy descendant of the Shan clan, I also know that there are some things that can be done and some things that cannot be done!" It is better to rob the beloved, abduct and sell them into slavery, and kill them with a knife. I would not have done such bestial acts, even if I died. ”

Xu You glanced at He Wei, and he nodded imperceptibly, indicating that Shanzong was not lying. The four phases of the Yin Fu are the best at identifying people's hearts, as long as they are not powerful characters who are too strict in the city, it is generally difficult to hide the secret art of He Weicha.

"Okay, I feel that I am in love with you, so I believe you again. But remember, this is the last time! ”

The heaviest oath of the time, Shanzong promised Xu You not to set foot in Wu County for three years. After he left Minghai, he first settled in Huiji County, which was not considered a violation of his oath, and then came to the fishing village, and he would escort the goods north as a short stop, although it was against the oath, but it was not unjustifiable. Unexpectedly, the situation took a turn for the worse, and the desperate Shanzong could only hold Zhu Lingbo hostage, go straight to Qiantang, stay there, and completely destroy the oath.

In the face of Xu You's generosity, Shanzong was both ashamed and grateful. There are all kinds of wicked people in the world, the land is not divided into north and south, there are Wei and Chu, people are not divided into men and women, there are women and males, these thieves burn and kill, and plunder, all evil, some are fond of eating people's hearts, some prefer prostitute women, and even torture captives for pleasure, staying in this environment for a long time, hearing and seeing, no matter how good people are, they will gradually have evil thoughts, and do some bloody acts that surprise them. But the thing that made him feel that he had not completely sunk was that he kept his promises and never broke his trust because of selfish interests. Therefore, Xu You's understanding allowed him to retain his last pitiful self-esteem as a person.

"Brother Shan, this Lang Jun, who you don't want to reveal your name and surname, seems to value your talent very much, even if he is deceived by lies, he has to bother to pull you into the gang......"

The man did not say that the so-called goods were the people who had been sold, and the purpose was naturally not too simple. To put it simply, it is to ask Shanzong to pay a vote, and it doesn't matter whether this vote happened with his knowledge or not! As long as these women are transported to the border of Qingzhou, they will no longer be able to wash off this stain on their bodies.

Shan Zong smiled bitterly, he took Zhu Lingbo to escape from the fishing village, and did not go back to Huiji County to find the man to solve the trouble at hand, but went all the way to the north, and plunged into the dead end of Qiantang like a headless fly, just saw through this, and was speechless for a while.

He Wei frowned and said: "When the mountain sect arrived at the fishing village, the Zhu clan had already begun to secretly search for Zhu Lingbo's whereabouts, and the water around Puyangjin that had been blocked for more than ten miles could not be leaked. Since this person dares to do such a deal, the news must be bright, and the Zhu family's movements must not be hidden from him, but why do you let you take a big risk to transport those women knowing that the fishing village has become a Jedi? ”

Shanzong fled for his life during this time, physically and mentally exhausted, in fact, he didn't think carefully about the hidden situation, listened to He Wei's analysis, and immediately noticed the problem, and said: "What Lang Jun said is very true, it seems that he is not trying to pull me into the gang, but wants to kill me!" Then there was a look of resentment in his eyes, and he said: "At first, I respected him as a great hero, but I didn't expect him to be a beast with a human face and a beast's heart. If there is a chance in the future, I will set my hand to cut this fang, and I will flatten the qi in my chest! ”

"You met him for the first time, and there was no injustice or hatred before. What good will it do him to put you to death, but to lose a human life? He Wei shook his head and said, "What's more, you are the person recommended by the first pirate of Ming, isn't he afraid of offending the pirate of Ming by doing this?" ”

Shan Zong was stunned for a moment and said, "That's right!" I have no grudge against him, so why bother to make the thief unhappy? ”

Xu You pointed out and said, "Everyone in the world knows that pirates are not easy to offend, especially when they are not driven by much profit...... This person is either crazy or moody, one moment he treats you like a distinguished guest, longing to sleep and eat together, and the next moment he treats you like an enemy, eager to break your bones and scatter ashes...... Brother Shan, in your opinion, what kind of person is he? ”

Shan Zong carefully recalled his experience with that man, and said, "He is not like a madman, nor is he like a moody person, but he is gentle and elegant, his behavior is elegant, he never looks down on others in his words, and he is very easy to get close to. ”

"Villains are just hateful, but hypocrites are terrible!"

Xu You sighed and said, "If what I expected, he asked you to go to the fishing village and wait for death, which has two meanings. One is to see your ability, after all, the Ming pirate is famous, if you can safely take the plundered woman out in the Zhu family's heavy encirclement, it means that you have outstanding talents, and you can use money and beauty to win you over, and it is not impossible to rely on it in the future. ”

"Rong Di's mongrel dog talent," Shan Zong snorted and scolded, "Go to his grandma's spring and autumn dream!" ”

Xu You smiled, in the hearts of people who have no bottom line, the bottom line of all people in the world can be measured by value, money, beauty, family, brothers and friends, there are always things you care about, so there are chips to break through your bottom line.

It's just that they don't know that sometimes, what keeps the bottom line is an ethereal thing, which can't be touched or touched, and there is no way to measure it by value. Only when you hit it hard do you understand how hard its bones are, how straight its back is, hard and unshakable, straight and unbendable.

It's called conscience!

Whether human nature is inherently good or evil, the distinction between good and evil is still within the scope of human nature. And what distinguishes human nature from animal nature lies in that little conscience that has never been extinguished, let him know what can be done and what cannot be done!

"Second, I think he is ready to blame the Ming pirates for the case of plundering and selling his lover when the matter is irreparable!"

Shan Zong's body shook, his eyes were like copper bells, and it took a long time before he came back to his senses and said, "You...... You mean......"

He Wei obviously also thought of this, and said: "What Qilang said is right, this person is thoughtful and decisive, and in the face of the desperate situation of the fishing village being besieged, he immediately chose to give up the rescue and arrange a plan to get out of the aftermath. The reason why Shanzong was allowed to go was precisely to frame the Ming pirates, which also explained why none of the twenty-seven people in the fishing village survived, either killed in battle or committed suicide, if Shanzong did not escape in advance, he would definitely die there - either killed by the Zhu clan's subordinates, or plotted by this group of thieves from behind. ”

Xu You continued: "Brother Shan's appearance is magnificent, he is not an ordinary person, as long as the Zhu family carefully checks, he will definitely be able to find out your identity and origin." At that time, the enmity between the Ming pirates and the Zhu clan was equivalent to completely offending the gate lords of the entire Wu County and even Yangzhou, and he also carried a charge of plundering and betraying his beloved, which was just an excuse for the sailor to send troops to encircle and suppress. ”

Shan Zong's heart was shocked, and he said: "No wonder, he gave me a token, designating me as honor, and when I get to the village, I can order everyone to obey orders." It turns out that all this is a poisonous plan to confirm my mastermind! ”

……

After Shanzong arrived at the fishing village, he showed the token, and everyone in the village immediately bowed his head and obeyed, no one questioned or resisted, and the whole process did not make any waves, even if Shanzong was a person they had never seen, but as long as the token was in hand, anything could be decided in a word, including their lives.

He didn't suspect when he first came up, and inspected the goods, which were a good brocade on a ship, hidden in the mezzanine of the cabin, with dozens of baskets of fish and shrimp on it. The villagers did not hide it from him, saying that it was a smuggling business, hiding the brocade under the fish and shrimp, smuggling it to the Qingzhou border, and then opening the joints and selling them across the border to the rich merchants of the Wei State.

Chu and Wei did not open the market, the difference between the north and the south of the brocade can earn huge profits, so the trade of private fertilization is very prosperous, Shanzong also heard of it when he was in Minghai, he is not a good person, he will not care whether this is a violation of the law of Chu, nor will he care whether tax evasion has caused a decrease in the imperial court's money, only the intention of repaying the favor, began to actively participate in the preparation of the northbound route and the formulation of various contingency plans.

The small fishing village seemed to be isolated from the world, and he didn't know that there was already a rumor outside, so Jiangzuo Zhuge Zhu Zhi took over the command and began to cast his eyes on this small fishing village.

The mountain rain is coming, and the wind is full of buildings!

That night, the leader of the villagers took him to an underground secret room, where he met Zhu Lingbo for the first time. The little girl's hair was disheveled, she was tied to a pillar with five flowers, her mouth was gagged with a cloth, and she was completely speechless, but her eyes were still full of anger and condescension, and she did not lose fear and pain because she had become a prisoner.

The leader explained in a low voice that Zhu Lingbo suddenly broke into the fishing village more than ten days ago, and wanted to take a boat north to Qiantang, but after being refused, he ran to the boat without permission, but happened to find the brocade in the mezzanine, and threatened to go to the government to denounce it, so he had no choice but to arrest it and lock him in the secret room.

Who would have thought that this girl turned out to be the girl of the Zhu family, and now the Zhu family's subordinates are being searched outside, he doesn't know what to do, he can't let it go, and he can't kill it, so he asks the mountain sect to decide.

Shan Zong was taken aback, and felt that it was quite tricky, but he met Zhu Lingbo, and he couldn't hide, so he wanted to take the lead and go outside to discuss again. The leader was very respectful, and he also called the master of the mountain sect many times, which made Zhu Lingbo misunderstand that he was the mastermind, and later he couldn't explain whether he was alive or dead.

When he got outside, Shan Zong asked, "Do you dare to arrest the girls of the Zhu family?" ”

"She was somehow dressed in tatters at the time, we didn't take it seriously, and she didn't look like a girl from the Zhu family. I just wanted to wait for the master to come, and then release her after the boat went north, but who knew that it would be this step in the field! ”

In order to avoid the pursuit of his family, Zhu Lingbo changed his clothes, no different from a little beggar. The little red horse was also dirty, skinny, and without its usual steed, it lied that it was a lost horse picked up in the ravine. The thieves in the fishing village are already doing the business of plundering and selling women, how can they not send them to the door? In addition, with Zhu Lingbo's appearance, he will definitely be able to sell it for a good price, and he will also give an extra horse, which is enough to withstand two young girls.

The matter has come to this point, it is useless to blame them, Shan Zong thinks about it, it is definitely not possible to send it back, this kind of thing is not clear, and the Zhu family is not a reasonable person, but it is not possible to kill it. Caught in a dilemma, he slept at night, quietly left his room, and while wandering around, he overheard a conversation between two villagers and learned that fresh horse meat was hidden in a secluded house.

Horses are rare, and they are rare to see in leisure, let alone eat horse meat, Shanzong is not a fool, and immediately understood that this was Zhu Lingbo's horse, which was killed by the villagers to take meat and store it.

It's not strange that Zhu Lingbo has a horse, but why didn't the leader mention it to him before?

The more Shan Zong thought about it, the more confused he became, avoiding the villagers who were patrolling the night, searching the dark room underground, and found three more imprisoned women, dodged in and knocked two unconscious, and interrogated one person, only to know that it was a beloved person who had been plundered from Linhai County. Before them, more than a dozen people had already been loaded on the ship and transported away, and the mountain sect finally understood what kind of place he was in and what kind of people he was doing things!

Lose your conscience!
