What to do? What to do?

I don't want to...... I didn't want to kill! But I killed someone...... I killed someone......

Zhu Junyi looked at his hands, unable to recover from the shock for a long time, and his hands kept trembling unobediently.

He had seen the dead, and he had seen a living life disappear before him, but he had never taken the life of another person with his own hands. Zhu Dayu's terrifying face before his death seemed to still be in front of him, the other party seemed to be saying something, and it seemed that he didn't say anything, just staring at himself with a pale face, the moment the fire entered the body, the splashed blood seemed to have solidified in front of him, like a three-dimensional picture.

Zhu Junyi wanted to remember something, and in the depths of his memory, there was a certain voice calling, as if it was something that could save his soul. He was terrified and struggled to get up, and at this moment, it seemed that the heavens and the earth were spinning, and all kinds of memories in his brain quickly hit him, as if he had opened all the videos in the computer at the same time, and there was a slight "ding" sound in his ears, then a "di-di" sound, and then everything became a deafening roar.

"Ahh Zhu Junyi clutched his head in pain, the sharp pain comparable to detonating a grenade in his brain tore at him, and he wanted to split himself in half. His expression gradually became dull, his eyes were blank, and he said to himself: "I want to wash my hands, I want to wash my hands, I want to wash my hands!" ”

He lifted his leg and was about to rush out of the room......

Nina had just been slapped down by Zhu Dayu, and her head hit the floor and fainted. When she came to clean, from her angle, she just saw Zhu Junyi getting up from the ground, staring at her hands, and muttering that she was about to hit the wall.

"Brother Jun!" Nina was very surprised, ignoring the pain in her head, she flew up and threw Zhu Junyi to the ground, only to hear Zhu Junyi repeating "I killed someone...... before he fell unconscious".

Nina picked up Zhu Junyi and hugged most of his body into her arms, and an earthquake was set off by the muttering in her ears. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw the blood on the ground and the fire, and everything understood. He smiled happily and bitterly, turned his head and looked coldly at Zhu Dayu who was still lying in a pool of blood, the kind of humiliation and biting hatred suddenly appeared, and he looked down at Zhu Junyi in his arms again, grateful, pity, gratification, pain, and determination...... All kinds of irrepressible emotions followed, and the psychological wall collapsed, crying as if he had lost all his support, for Zhu Junyi and for himself.

After a while, Nina thought about a lot of things clearly, she wiped away the tears on her face, and just looked at Zhu Junyi quietly.

"Brother Jun! Thank you...... Thank you for doing so much for me,...... I'd love to be able to escape with you, but I don't have a chance. ”

Nina hugged Zhu Junyi's face, gently kissed him on the forehead, and said: "I have four younger brothers, they are all naughty, they will only cause trouble, Daddy always hurts them more than me, I'm not angry, I'm a sister, I love them, but in the end they all died...... None of them survived...... Whining...... You are better than all of them, you have read, you are wise, you feel sorry for people, you will marry a beautiful girl in the future, get married and have children, you still have a lot of things to do...... How can you die here for nothing for me? …… My sister won't lose any of her younger brothers...... Not a single ......"

She was immersed in memories of the past and a bright future, and when she was finished, she knew she had to do something, do something she should have done a long time ago – to be with her brothers.

Sometimes, it only takes a moment for a person to make a decision to die, and sometimes, a person cannot make that decision in his lifetime, in fact, this has always been fair, but it depends on the outcome in exchange.

And she hopes that her decision in exchange for Zhu Junyi's life can be Zhu Junyi's life. This is the last thing a brave older sister can do for her brother.

"Sister!" Zhu Junyi, who was in his arms, suddenly opened his eyes, looking at Nina curiously, as if he didn't know where or what he had done, but asked calmly and childishly, "What are you crying about?" Did someone bully you? I have a good friend, his name is Gao Sheng, and he can protect you. ”

Nina froze, he had heard some Chinese merchants who had been to the tribe say that some people would have trouble coming to their senses when they were suddenly frightened, or when something special happened.

She looked at Zhu Junyi's unusually pure eyes, sighed bitterly in her heart for his pitiful fate, she gently wiped away the tears in her eyes with her hands, and tried to squeeze out a happy and kind smile.

That's fine, or Brother Jun won't suffer anymore, she thought.

There was a sound of footsteps outside the courtyard, and it sounded like there were quite a few people, who should have heard the gunshots in the quiet of the night, and kept asking for something upstairs.

"Brother Jun, my sister is fine." Nina comforted Zhu Junyi, she was searching, looking for anything that could hide him - there was a cabinet at the end of the bedroom.

The naïve Zhu Junyi was stunned and said, "How can my sister know Brother Jun'er's name?" Sister, do you know Gao Sheng too? ”

"Of course my sister knows, and we're all good friends." Nina picked him up and deliberately shielded his eyes with her hands, not wanting him to see the corpses and blood on the ground.

"Sister will play a trick with you." Nina coaxed, walked into the bedroom, and pointed to the cabinet, "You hide inside, don't come out no matter what you hear, okay?" ”

"Good! Good! Zhu Junyi clapped his palms happily and said with a smile: "My mother has played with me in the past." Then he quickly got off Nina, got into the cabinet without thinking about it, and made a mischievous grimace at Nina, and the pure smile on his face was a simple smile that belonged to a child.

Nina took one last look at Zhu Junyi and gave him a very warm and cherished smile in return.

The stairs of the small building sounded the sound of "Dengdengdeng", she knew that her time was running out, and finally told Zhu Junyi to close the cabinet door with a word.

When she came out of the bedroom, she had already put on an expression full of hatred and perseverance, and happened to meet the subordinate who was going upstairs to inquire, and said with hatred and word by word: "Your second master was killed by me, and he is innocent!" ”

The subordinate was frightened by everything in front of him and Nina's fierce eyes, and shouted in panic: "Quick! Hurry up, uncle! …… No! Old lady, please! ”

In the early morning, the public court in the Chinese district of Batavia was surrounded by the Qian family who came to denounce them, and they noisily demanded that the court send troops to arrest people.

Where did the soldiers come from in the Chinese District Court? When this is the Great Qing Kingdom? Or those savage little countries to the north? Lei Zhenlan Chen Fu, who was on duty today, cursed loudly, and was woken up from the bed by his subordinates, so he naturally complained a lot. When he came to the gate of the public court, he was frightened, and saw that there was a black standing at the door of the public court, and there were no less than hundreds of people, all of whom were angry, and said that they wanted to ask the court to administer justice.

"Which of you is the first to accuse? Who is the defendant? Hearing that it was to uphold justice rather than kill officials and rebel, Chen Fu's heart was a lot calmer, and he put on a posture of a court master.

"Back to Master Chen's words, the slave family is the first to sue." A chubby woman shouted, "It's just...... The slave doesn't know who to sue......"

"Nonsense!" Chen Fu flicked his sleeves and pretended to be annoyed: "You don't know who to sue, what are you messing around?" Hurry home. ”

"Wait! Master Chen, the slave's husband is the shopkeeper of the Fushengji gambling house in the city, and this dead ghost was ...... last night Killed by thieves, you have to be the master of the slave family! The lady of the Qian family simply sat in front of the court and cried, and the relatives and friends gathered around also echoed - most of them were thugs of the Qian family, who had a bad breath and public opinion.

"What?" Chen Fulao's surprise is not small, Batavia Hua District has been peaceful for decades, and there has never been such a vicious case as murder, so he quickly ordered someone to ascend to the court and welcomed the Qian family's lady in.

The lady of the Qian family knelt down when she entered the court, wept bitterly, and stated what happened to the Qian family in a hesitant and vague manner. The description is extremely miserable, how the money shopkeeper was killed in his home, how his home was looted, and countless money and treasures were lost......

Just talking about the loss, the lady of the Qian family covered her face with her hands, glanced at Chen Fulao's expression from between her fingers, saw that he was panicked, his mind did not belong, and he was relieved to cry that the sky was dark, and the sun and moon were dark.

Chen Fulao touched his neck, only to feel that his mouth was dry and tasteless.

The murder case is supposed to be unconcealed, and it must be reported to the Governor's Office of the East India Company, and I can't help but secretly hate myself for being on duty this month, why is he so unlucky? It seems that you have to go to the Bodhisattva and bow down later.

At the moment, a man from Fu Shengji came out to report that the money shopkeeper had a dispute with Lin Chu on the bow of the ship yesterday, and Chen Fulao hurriedly sent a fire sign and quickly summoned Lin Chu and other sailors.

The subordinates went back and forth, but only brought back the sixth person of the Zhang family, and reported that Lin Chu and the rest of the children had sailed out to sea before dawn, and there was no trace.

"This is clearly killing people and overtaking goods, snatching ships and going to sea! Master! The lady of the Qian family cried at the right time.

"You fart! Boss Lin and they are all heroes who stand up to the sky and the earth on the sea, how could they commit such a case on the ground? "The sixth elder of the Zhang family tried his best to protect Lin Chu.

Chen Fu thought about it and felt that he had to try the sixth child of the Zhang family well to temporarily appease the Qian family's family. So with an order, the court used the torture tools that had never been used before, and took turns to go through the sixth child of the Zhang family.

Looking at the sixth child of the Zhang family, who was covered in bruises and half-dead but did not speak, Chen Fu was like a dog biting a crab, with nowhere to eat.

He was so anxious that the first accusation was still torn in court, but the defendant had fled to the sea without a trace, isn't this a headless public case? But what should I do?

Ask the Dutch to send warships out to sea to exterminate? I don't know if the arrogant Dutch can be keen?

Chen Fulao had no choice but to appease the Qian family lady for the time being, pointing to heaven and vowing to arrest the murderer. As soon as the Qian family came out of the court, they immediately led people to escort the old six paths of the Zhang family to the Dutch fortress in the port area. After explaining the reason, he handed over the sixth child of the Zhang family to the Dutch dungeon guards, then sorted out his clothes, went to the office of the new governor Walgeniel to report the case, the attaché only asked him to wait outside the door, and waited for the Dutchman's work time, but he did not wait for any reply, the governor attaché simply threw him out, he did not dare to argue with the Dutch, so he had to return to the court in a huff.

When Warzeniel learned of the murder in China, he hurriedly called for Erlang and Gullit, and the three of them had a good idea in the office.

Gurlitt sneered, "Your Excellency, this is a great opportunity!" ”

"Mr. Gurlit, how can a merchant die in the city be a good opportunity? Have you forgotten God's teaching to be based on charity? ”

Gullitt cast a look of "don't pretend, Godu Menqing", grinned and said: "My dear Excellency, we are worried about the lack of reason to deal with more and more Qing people, and now they themselves have sent us an excuse!" Isn't that God's will? A merchant died in the city, but the murderer is still there! ”

Erlang was also full of bad water, so he naturally got through it and said with a smile: "This is really a good idea." Thank God for your wisdom! The Chinese in the city like to wear black, and it seems that the murderers are all wearing black, so as a faithful believer in God on earth, as long as we arrest all the Chinese in black, they are all murderers. ”

Hua Genir wondered: "In this way, even ten prisons will not be able to let go of the prisoners we have arrested!" ”

Erlang stroked his beautiful beard and said with a smile: "Your Excellency, have you forgotten the letter from the Board of Directors of the Company asking you to send labor to the Ceylon colonies?" These 'murderers' are the strongest laborers. The Governor of the Colony of Ceylon will thank you from the bottom of his heart! ”

Hua Gennier pondered for a moment, and then said with a look of foresight: "There are too many Chinese in the city, if we implement a policy that is too strict, won't it provoke a riot among the Chinese?" ”

Wanting to gain and not wanting to pay the price, are these gentlemen stupid pigs? Gullitt was disdainful and calculating, and decided to push the governor again: "Gentlemen! The entire economy of Batavia was in the hands of these Qing merchants, but they were greedy and afraid of death, and they were willing to pay any price for the sake of a stable life. Your Excellency the Governor needs a lot of taxes, we need business, that is, to make the poor people of the Qing country at the bottom riot, and only when the poor riot, the rich will be willing to pay! At that point, Your Excellency the Governor, you need to think not about prisons, but about coffers! Think about it! Gentlemen! What a wonderful and huge sum of money! ”

Erlang secretly glanced at Gullit, and continued to help: "Your Excellency, the number of Europeans in Bacheng is too small, if we want to control the whole city, we need more people's support, I can spread rumors among the local natives that the Qing people are going to attack Batavia and kill all the natives, and provoke the relationship between the natives and the Qing people, the natives are all poor ghosts, they will be very willing to be our swords, at that time, we just need to provoke the natives to do it, and then come forward to clean up the mess." In this way, we are still civilized and polite gentlemen, and Batavia is nothing more than a battle between the natives and the Chinese, and whoever wins or loses, we are the arbiters, and the Republic and the East India Company will reap the greatest benefits, and you, my dear Lord Governor, will be the hero of the United Province for saving the East India Company from its economic crisis and the great city of Batavia. ”

Governor Walgenir looked intoxicated, then pretended not to hear anything, and said solemnly: "Dear Monsieur Erlang, I have only invited you to tea today, and have not talked about any other issues. At the moment, the security in Batavia is very poor, and there are many thieves, and I will issue an order to arrest all the thieves dressed in black. ”

Erlang and Gurlitt understood and secretly cursed the white-haired old fox. Once again, they celebrated with their eyes, secretly celebrating in their hearts: At that time, it will be beyond your control.

In the desires of Erlang and Gurlit, how could they give up such a golden opportunity? Nearly a thousand Chinese merchants' mansions, hundreds of shops, countless plantations and lands outside the city, and the five great families that can be called rich and rival the country, they will not let go - they want all of Batavia!

As long as they hear the sound of gold coins, they can sell God to the devil, which is their universal value.

In the afternoon, the orders of the governor Walgenir were posted at the gates of Batavia - "Arrest the robbers in black."

Chen Fulao returned to the court in a depressed mood, took the tea brought by the slave and maid, and sat on the chair and drank the stuffy tea. At this time, a court official broke in in a panic, and Chen Fulao scolded with a constipated face: "What kind of big case is it?" Is the sky falling? ”

"Old ...... Master...... The second master of the third room of the Zhu family in the city was also killed last night......"

If you have more debts, you don't have to worry about itchy, and Chen Fulao doesn't care about any more life lawsuits, so he simply stabbed Mount Tai and said, "Which Zhu family's second child was killed?" ”

"Back to ...... Back to the old man...... It's the Zhu family in the east of the city, and the second master of the third room was ......"

"Wow", the tea bowl fell from Chen Fu's old hand and shattered with the ground. He staggered and lost his mind and got up from his chair and muttered, "This time...... The sky really collapsed......"
