Those who dare to bear mistakes are brave, so there must be brave men under heavy punishments. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Faced with the leather whips raised high by the soldiers of Xia Cheng, these captives did not choose to laugh out loud or angrily reprimanded the devil's palace to shake in laughter, but confessed everything they had done when the thorns pierced into their nails and the bronze sword burned their wounds, and took what they did not do but Chen Jian wanted them to do.

The tortured soldiers were greatly excited, and then agreed that the slaves divided between the two armies should not be separated, but that they would make a private army like a wolf's skin, and make an appointment to do something great in the west of the summer city, leaving a legacy of enough perennial sacrifices for future generations.

In another room, Jian Chen woke up the leader, who had been in the house for less than a month, and dismissed the rest of the room, leaving only himself.

After the leader woke up, he did not scold, but lowered his head gloomily, and Jian Chen sat aside and smiled: "You are dead." But your child doesn't have to die. People always have to die, but after death, if there is no heir blood sacrifice to give a bowl of rice to eat, it is always a little terrible. Your eight children have been arrested, none of them ran out, and I don't know if you have some illegitimate children with Renye, and I don't bother to look for them, but now it's not the past, women can't plow the fields to support themselves, they always have to find a man to live, your children call others their fathers, and even if they sacrifice to you when they sacrifice in the future, they use the income from other people's fields, and even have to secretly sacrifice, so what is the difference between you and the big rats in the field who make a living by stealing other people's food? ”

In the face of Chen Jian's accusations and threats, the other party showed the bearing that a leader should have, and responded lightly: "Ji Xia has ever heard such a story? Some clans did not have the habit of martyrdom for a long time, until one of the chiefs began to martyrdom for the first time. After a long time, his family was shattered, and his descendants were taken to martyrdom by the victors who had accepted the custom of human martyrdom. ”

"From the time of the Huasu League, the leader who made a mistake would at most be exiled, but it would not touch the descendants, let alone the land slaves that the family had accumulated for sacrifice. Ji Xia wants to kill me and divide my land, aren't you afraid that after a long time, someone will learn from you, and your children and grandchildren will suffer the same calamity? You start with a beginning, but you don't see the end. You have broken a rule that has been unknown for a long time, and my fate will be yours. ”

Chen Jian looked up to the sky and smiled: "I'm not afraid." I have bequeathed to my children and grandchildren fame, land, and slaves, who have a higher starting point than ordinary people, and this is the benefit they have inherited. In the same way, they may be exiled, killed, etc., after my death, and more likely than ordinary people, which is the disadvantage they endure. Since you have inherited the good, be prepared to bear the bad. If he is unwilling, he can not accept any of my inheritance, and go to earn a living on his own, and get rid of any relationship with me, and naturally there will be no such calamity as you said. Besides, I never thought that my descendants would be able to be a family for eternity, as you said, birds and fish, you are not me, and you will not believe or understand what I want. ”

The leader snorted and said, "I heard that Ji Xia still has no heirs, so you can say such things. When you have children, will you still be so adamant? You haven't been a father, how can you know that kind of inheritance? ”

He stared at Jian Chen's eyes for a long time, and finally said in a vicious tone: "Ji Xia has no heirs until now, isn't it because you have done too many such things, and the punishment of heaven and earth and your ancestors?" ”

He thought that Chen Jian would at least be annoyed and angry, at least shocked, but after watching it for a long time, he was finally disappointed, Chen Jian stood straight, his eyes were firm, and he was humming a strange song in his mouth that he had never heard before, with a smile on his face, without the slightest dodge or hesitation, he shrugged his shoulders and said, "So what? Do I care? ”

The chief sighed, not understanding what kind of person he was facing, maybe he really couldn't guess as he said? This kind of person doesn't seem to have any feelings, cold as the land, and he can't back down when it comes to the topic of heirs, is there really someone who doesn't want his children and grandchildren to be in the circle of superiority forever?

"There won't be such a person, so he's lying, or he's just a madman. Yes, he's a madman...... He's going to break the rules that aren't explicitly stated, he's going to kill me and my heirs! ”

In an instant, the leader's heart was discouraged, and he asked with the last doubt: "Ji Xia, you touch your heart and say, are you really coming to crusade against me because of the reasons you said?" I have never thought clearly, Xia Cheng is far away in the Grass River, what are the benefits of being here with you? ”

Chen Jian smiled and didn't speak, nor did he explain, of course he was not driven by the so-called justice, but in the face of a loser, he didn't explain anything to the other party, but just asked: "I can't give you an answer to this question, if your soul sees me in another world in the future, ask again." ”

"Think about it, I have read to you the previous mistake in front of the city, plus the mistake of setting fire to the clansmen, admit it together. If you don't admit it, I will send the whole city to judge you and your family, and you know that angry people are terrible and irrational, and you have many slaves in your fields, and angry people may kill all your offspring and destroy you. ”

"If you confess, I will not send the whole city to judge you, but the leaders will be the judges and not the angry people of the people who have been moved by my words. In view of your past merits, I will give you a funeral, and your two children who are not yet fourteen years old will survive and not be slaves, and I will leave them twenty slaves, enough land for them to live on, and the sacrificial vessels will also be left to them, and there will be a corn mash sacrifice every year. ”

The leader recalled the satirical performances and words under the city walls, and asked with a little sarcasm: "Ji Xia knows better than me the terrible anger of these laborers, and is better at manipulating their hearts than I am, but Ji Xia has also made them understand a lot of things, aren't you afraid that one day their wrath will befall you when they wake up?" Just like the bronze sword in your hand, you can kill or hurt yourself. You are the leader. ”

Jian Chen nodded happily and said, "That's what I was looking forward to, not what I was afraid of." I know what you're afraid of, so I can threaten you; But you don't know what I'm afraid of, that's why your words are so weak. Now you have to think not about how to persuade me to advise me, but about when to give me an answer. ”

The leader shook his head with a wry smile and said, "What else can I say? I accept it, I will admit my mistakes, but beg Ji Xia not to let me die too humiliatingly, and keep your promise to keep my heirs, and not to be executed by those laborers, that is a great insult. ”

"Since Ji Xia walked in, he didn't question my crimes, in fact, in Ji Xia's heart, these so-called crimes and punishments are not what Ji Xia values, right?"

Jian Chen stood up and stared at him, and smiled contemptuously: "Do you hope that before you die, you can accept death in your heart with the idea that 'Ji Xia is actually as despicable and vicious as me, but he won and I lost' to comfort yourself?" Well, you say yes. ”

Laughing and turning his back and leaving the room, the light-filled grass curtain hung down, leaving only the dark, damp and squeaky rats. (To be continued.) )
