Chapter 382: Do You Believe It or Not?
"As long as this king wants to, this king has no evidence, and you can also say that you will die.
Master Zhang, do you believe it or not? ”
Ye Jiuchen said lightly, and his tone was unwavering, as if he was talking about something as ordinary as eating, sleeping, and going to the toilet.
And Zhang Huairen, who was originally convinced of calmness, suddenly collapsed after hearing Ye Jiuchen's words.
There is always such a kind of person in this world, they are born with an imposing momentum, as long as they say, you will involuntarily believe it.
Zhang Huairen's hands hanging down at his side, silently clenched his fists little by little, looking straight at Ye Jiuchen, looking at his dark, deep, obsidian-like, mysterious and dumb eyes, his heartbeat suffocated suddenly, and then beat violently.
Because he knew that even though Ye Jiuchen had a smile on his face, he was definitely not joking.
In an instant, Zhang Huairen's brain spun rapidly.
Ever since he climbed to this position and done those crazy and ruthless things, he knew that sooner or later, he would die.
He is not afraid of death.
He was afraid to return to the old days of eating and sleeping in the open and being oppressed by others.
But he can die, big brother can't.
Master Shi and him do not have the same surname, strictly speaking, the two cannot be regarded as real brothers.
His mother is the continuation of Master Shi's father, and Master Shi is the child of his father and his original match, and he was brought to the Shi family by his mother.
It's just that I didn't expect that on the day of the wedding, the two of them died in an accident, leaving only Master Shi and him, Master Shi was ten years older than him, originally Zhang Huairen thought that as soon as his mother died, he would be abandoned, but he didn't expect Master Shi to tell him that he would take care of him in the future.
Originally, Zhang Huairen didn't take it to heart, after all, there was no blood relationship, at that time, in that situation, anyone would say anything, after a long time, two children who have no ability to live and earn money, where can they remember what oath.
But Zhang Huairen didn't expect it at all, and Master Shi really did what he said.
Not long after their parents died, their house was occupied by relatives, and the two brothers were kicked out of the house, and since then they have lived a life of eating and sleeping in the open.
As the elder brother, Mr. Shi wanted to go out to find a job to support his younger brother, but he didn't want to meet a black-hearted shopkeeper, so he asked Mr. Shi to work for a month without paying him, and Mr. Shi went to look for it, but he was beaten out again.
The brothers were not convinced and went to report to the official, but unexpectedly, the government and the store were acquainted, and the two brothers were beaten again and thrown out of the yamen.
From that moment on, Zhang Huairen knew that if you want to live in this world and live well, you must be rich and powerful.
Otherwise, they can only be like them at that time, and they were oppressed and had nowhere to redress their grievances.
Those days were the most difficult for the two brothers.
The young old man Shi was covered with scars, and he went to the street to beg every day, and the things he got back were all eaten and used by Zhang Huairen first, and he only took a bite or two when he had the rest.
Zhang Huairen said that he wanted to accompany Master Shi to beg, but was scolded by Master Shi.
He asked Zhang Huairen to study hard, saying that only by reading could the fate of the brothers change.
Zhang Huairen wrote it down, and kept it firmly in his heart, and used the money that Master Shi had saved from begging to go crazy and study hard.
Although, in the academy, he is also the one who is bullied, ridiculed, and excluded.
But at that time, Zhang Huairen didn't say anything, didn't do anything, and silently endured it without resistance, and remembered it in his heart.
Finally, he became a sensation in the imperial examination and became an official, and then began a road of no return.
But the first thing he did to be an official, Zhang Huairen didn't do anything else, but killed the shopkeeper and the county master who didn't pay Master Shi and beat him up back then.
Master Shi originally wanted to blame him, but the bad guy Zhang told Master Shi at that moment.
From now on, I will not let you be bullied or hurt a little, as long as I live, I will protect you, even if I die, I will do my best to protect you.
For so many years, Zhang Huairen has indeed done this.
There is no blood relationship between the two, but they are closer than any pair of related brothers.
So at this moment, Zhang Huairen was not thinking about his own safety, but about Master Shi's.
Everything only happened in an instant, just when Ye Jiuchen opened his mouth and was about to order someone to take down Master Shi and Zhang Huairen, Zhang Huairen's eyes lit up suddenly, and he rushed towards the bolt pillar that was close to his sedan chair, still in a state of confusion, and had no reaction.
Everyone didn't expect Zhang Huairen to make this move, and they were a little stunned for a while, waiting for everyone to react to what happened, and saw that the bolt had been held hostage by Zhang Huairen.
"Don't come here, whoever comes, I'll kill him,"
At this moment, Zhang Huairen has taken off all his disguises and has become ruthless.
He stretched out a pair of bloodshot eyes, glaring at everyone fiercely, like a beast at the end of his life, with his mouth wide open and his fangs bared.
Even if he knew that he had fallen into a death situation and there was no possibility of survival, he still did the final fight to the death.
Leng Yue and Ye Jiuchen stood aside, seemingly calm.
It seems that such a thing was expected to happen for a long time.
Leng Yue, in particular, was a little sympathetic to Zhang Huairen.
She could guess that Zhang Huairen, such a smart person, knew that he was doing such a thing now, and there was no way to get away with it. And the reason why he did this was just to save his brother Master Shi's life.
But he may have forgotten that the people standing in front of him were himself and Ye Jiuchen.
The generals and soldiers were suddenly in trouble, and they all raised their swords one by one to surround Zhang Huairen, but they didn't dare to step forward and take them down easily.
After all, although the person who Zhang Huairen kidnapped looked like a skinny little beggar, but the people who were with the prince and princess, who knew if there were three long and two short, they would not be implicated.
After all, a person who was a commoner a few days ago suddenly became a prince and princess, where is the truth about things in this world?
The situation in the room was deadlocked.
Ye Jiuchen calmly stepped forward.
"Lord Zhang, this king has always thought you were a smart person."
"Don't tell me it's useless.
Isn't that the king?
Hello, you are very good, this official never thought that one day it would be planted in the hands of you, the prince who suddenly appeared.
But it's not a loss, and it's my destiny to have a catastrophe. ”
Zhang Huairen said very calmly and calmly, but Ye Jiuchen smiled lightly.
"That being the case, Lord Zhang's move must be a plan and a request?"
As he spoke, Ye Jiuchen quietly glanced at Master Shi, who was still stunned in the corner, looking at Zhang Huairen worriedly, and suddenly restrained the smile on his face.
"It's a pity that this king forgot to remind you that in this king's life, I hate others threatening me the most."
"King Huan!"
As soon as Ye Jiuchen's voice fell, Zhang Huairen hurriedly picked up the words.
He must now do his best to keep Master Shi as much as possible.
"I want the emperor to send you, but also to find some bargaining chips to block the mouth of the world for you, a prince with an unrighteous name.
In that case, the official can discuss with you. ”
As early as in the short contact, Ye Jiuchen had already seen that although Zhang Huairen was a ruthless and unscrupulous person to achieve his goals, it was undeniable that he was a smart and wise person.
If he had changed his mind to other places, he would definitely be a good official who would go down in history.
It's a pity that people's choices are sometimes just a thought.
Ye Jiuchen paused, just wanted to open his mouth to refuse, and ordered someone to take down Master Shi, but when he saw Leng Yue, who had not spoken for a long time, he suddenly said coldly.
"Your surname is Zhang, his surname is Shi, aren't you two brothers?"
Leng Yue's words made everyone present stunned.
Zhang Huairen paused: "Yes, there is no blood relationship between us, but he treats me better than his own brother."
For me, without him, I wouldn't be where I am today. ”
"Got it!"
The reason why Leng Yue asked this was because he was suddenly curious.
Like Ye Jiuchen's opinion, Zhang Huairen is smart and wise, and he is a shrewd person, and if he doesn't take the wrong path, he will definitely become a good official.
But why don't you be a good official, you have to be a dog official?
Moreover, looking at his feelings for Master Shi, he doesn't look like a heinous person.
Leng Yue has always felt that there are no absolute good people in this world, and there are no absolute bad people.
For the people and bolts of Liuzhuang Village, Zhang Huairen may be the worst person in the world.
But for Master Shi, Zhang Huairen is the only good person in this world.
"Bad as a child?"
Leng Yue then asked, Zhang Huairen was stunned again, and this time it was not only Zhang Huairen, but even Master Shi looked at Leng Yue with a pair of eyes wide in surprise.
"How do you know?"
"Guess."
Zhang Huairen looked at Leng Yue silently for a few seconds, and then lowered his head.
"I don't want to talk about the past."
"Hmm."
At this point, Leng Yue finally understood one thing.
No wonder, people say that some people spend their whole life to heal their childhood.
Come to think of it, the reason why Zhang Huairen went astray was just because of the pain of his childhood.
However, whether it is pain or bad life, it is not a reason for a person to do evil.
Zhang Huairen took a deep breath.
"I did it, and I did everything you investigated.
The plague existed, and it happened in Liuzhuang Village, but I had already sent people to slaughter the village and control the epidemic as soon as possible.
The few people who escaped like this person have been found and quarantined.
Therefore, the so-called epidemic did not spread at all.
As for riots, there is even less of it.
Liu Bin's folds were deliberately sent to the emperor by me, because I knew that when the emperor received two different folds, he would definitely send someone down to investigate in person. ”
