Chapter Seventy-Six: Punish the evil and promote the good, dare to go to the fire

By midnight, most of the people in the house were asleep. Only Zhu Sangui's room is still brightly lit, and I don't know what kind of unsightly thing he is doing.

I saw that Zhu Sangui was just about to turn off the lights and rest, but suddenly saw a black shadow flashing rapidly outside the window.

Seeing this, Zhu Sangui didn't pay much attention to it, but said that he was so tired that he was dazzled, so he slowly lay down on the bed.

But after a while, Zhu Sangui vaguely saw a black shadow in front of him, and he was about to come to him.

Seeing this, Zhu Sangui was so frightened that he sat up directly from the bed. Frightened, he didn't have time to think about it, and even when he got up and turned on the lights in the room one by one, he didn't find anything.

At this moment, when he saw such a scene, he immediately began to think wildly. I saw Zhu Sangui sitting on a chair at the door opposite the room, muttering while his legs trembling slightly.

I thought: "In the middle of the night, isn't there a ghost who has come to ask for his life?" Oh my God, I don't want to die! Please let me go, please let me go! ”

At this moment, the door that had been inserted slowly opened a crack. Seeing this, Zhu Sangui became more and more restless.

Just when the door was ajar, Zhu Sangui, who had always been timid, actually stood up straight and straightened his waist unusually, and then rushed out of the door nonchalantly, wanting to find out.

I thought Zhu Sangui was so brave, I didn't think that he had just stepped into the hospital, and he was already scared and sweaty.

Seeing the breeze blowing on the willow moon hanging on the branches, there was no abnormality. As everyone knows, the more normal it is, the more afraid Zhu Sangui is in his heart, so that he feels that there is someone behind him all the time, and then he will take his life unexpectedly.

At this moment, he is keenly aware that it is safer to hide under the covers than to hold on here.

Thinking of this, Zhu Sangui quickly returned to the house. I want to cover my head and face and sleep desperately.

Unexpectedly, before Zhu Sangui closed the door, an accident happened.

only heard a "whoosh", and then a bright light flashed, and then Liu Aodong's sword edge was impartially pressed against Zhu Sangui's neck, and he was about to stab blood.

After that, Liu Aodong forced Zhu Sangui to retreat into the house step by step, and closed the door with his backhand.

At this time, Zhu Sangui had not yet come to his senses, so that he was so frightened that his eyes were dull and his face was bloodless.

When he was young, Zhu Sangui saw that Liu Aodong seemed to be lax, so he began to make small moves and play smart.

Unexpectedly, before Zhu Sangui could say half a sentence, he was already slapped to his knees by Liu Aodong with a sword.

"I warn you, it's better not to have any bad ideas in front of me, or I'll splatter you with blood on the spot at once!"

Zhu Sangui saw that this person was not good, and in order to save his life, he could only beg Liu Aodong in a low manner.

"This ...... This...... This brother, there is a way that the sword has no eyes, don't be angry! I can give you as much money as you want, Brother Wanwang raised his noble hand, and spared my life! ”

Seeing this, Liu Aodong immediately became angry. The person he hated the most in his life was a villain like Zhu Sangui who bullied the weak and was afraid of the hard. If it weren't for that, Liu Aodong wouldn't have pretended to be a ghost and deliberately teased him several times. Now it seems that such a person should play a trick hard, otherwise it will be really difficult to solve the hatred in his heart.

This time, if Zhu Sangui was still blindly domineering and domineering, maybe he would have suffered less, but he didn't expect this to be the case.

According to Liu Aodong's character, such a person will never end well in front of him, and presumably Zhu Sangui is the same.

Sure enough, Zhu Sangui saw that flattering and flattering him had no effect, so he simply broke the net.

Thinking of this, Zhu Sangui secretly pulled out a knife he carried with him for self-defense, and then stabbed Liu Aodong while he was unprepared.

As everyone knows, his move is harmful but not beneficial, and his actions are tantamount to asking for his own death. Mo said that it was a Zhu Sangui, even if there were ten or eight, it was far from Liu Aodong's opponent.

No, Zhu Sangui's stupid behavior not only did not hurt Liu Aodong, but made him easily snatch the knife. And this will also completely anger Liu Aodong, who was already resentful of him.

Then, Liu Aodong also expressed his intention without scruples under his pride, and Zhu Sangui only then knew why he came.

Even so, Liu Aodong categorically will not spare himself. For today's plan, it is important to save your life, and you can't take care of it too much. So, the brazen Zhu Sangui began to scold himself, hoping to make Liu Aodong spare his life in this way.

"I, Zhu Sangui, am really a pig and a dog, and I have lost my conscience! I am inhumane, I am dehumanized! I'm shameless, I'm despicable and lewd! I'm not a life, I'm a vain person! I ......"

"That's enough!" If Liu Aodong hadn't stopped it in time, he wouldn't have known what to pull out.

Seeing this, Zhu Sangui thought that Liu Aodong had forgiven him. Zhu Sangui, who had been kneeling on the ground and begging, was just about to stand up, but unexpectedly, Liu Aodong turned around and held his right hand tightly, and used the knife to chop off Zhu Sangui's two fingers.

There is a way that ten fingers are connected to the heart, and when one's fingers are suddenly chopped off, the degree of pain can be imagined.

However, due to the situation, Zhu Sangui was not easy to keep quiet, so he could only forcibly hold back first, and then deal with it after Liu Aodong left.

Afterwards, Liu Aodong warned Zhu Sangui and said: "If you dare to bully the good and run rampant in the township in the future, it is not just as simple as two fingers, but be careful of your head!" ”

"Yes, yes...... I will never do it again! Don't dare anymore, don't dare anymore......" Before Zhu Sangui finished speaking, Liu Aodong had already disappeared without a trace.

Zhu Sangui saw that Liu Aodong had gone away, so he immediately changed his previous position, then got up and slapped the table and swore an oath: "Yellow-haired child, this revenge will not be avenged, I swear not to be a person!" ”

A few days later, one night, Liu Aodong was resting in a cave in the mountains.

He was just about to get up and leave, but he overheard a few villagers passing by talking about it, the content of which seemed to be related to Qu Liqing.

Seeing this, Liu Aodong immediately stepped forward to ask. After careful questioning, I learned that it turned out that Qu Liqing had been removed from his post and investigated, and he had already been escorted to the capital.

Liu Aodong was furious when he learned about this, but he didn't show it immediately. When the group had gone, he returned to the cave.

He stood there with angry eyes, and when he drew the long sword behind his back, he slammed it into the ground with such ferocity and swiftness that the rocks cracked and the sand flew up.

Without further ado, Liu Aodong must go and rescue Qu Liqing, and he must not watch him die.

After making up his mind, Liu Aodong didn't dare to hesitate for a moment, and immediately chased after him.

It turned out that the reason why Qu Liqing was removed from his post was actually related to the distribution of grain.

Originally, the relief food allocated by the imperial court was all good, and it was not moldy. And the reason why good relief grain has changed when it reaches the hands of the people is because officials at all levels collude with each other to be greedy for ink and shoddy to fill their own pockets.

Now that the East Window incident has happened, these corrupt officials can only slander others to save themselves in order to protect themselves. After all, this matter involves a wide range of things, and if it is investigated carefully, it will inevitably cause turmoil in the court, so people like Qu Liqing naturally become their scapegoats.

Originally, Qu Liqing might still have a way to live, but because Liu Aodong went to Zhu Sangui's mansion that day to make a fuss, Zhu Sangui wrote a secret letter in a fit of anger, and then told Zhu Jingqi about the situation here, which made Zhu Jingqi have a little more hatred for Qu Liqing.

Even so, Zhu Jingqi naturally would not let Qu Liqing leave the capital alive. Otherwise, many more people will die for it.

It's just that Liu Aodong didn't know at this moment that his reckless behavior had inadvertently become another handful of loess to bury Qu Liqing.

And Liu Aodong, who was eager to save people's hearts, traveled day and night, and killed several fast horses one after another, and finally approached the capital.

On the eve of entering Beijing, Liu Aodong, who was physically and mentally exhausted, drank sullenly in a small inn until the customers were exhausted.

The shopkeeper saw that Liu Aodong was already drunk, but he was still clamoring for wine and food, so he hurriedly stepped forward to persuade him. Why didn't Liu Aodong appreciate it, and still drank it vigorously.

Seeing this, the shopkeeper was afraid that Liu Aodong would hurt himself due to excessive drinking, so he simply sat in front of him and talked to him.

While talking and laughing, Xu was infected by Liu Aodong's resentment, so that the shopkeeper who was originally comforting him on the side began to sigh. In the end, I couldn't help but cry.

I saw the shopkeeper lamenting the injustice of the world and sighing: "What troubles do you have at a young age? How can the pain and pain in this world be solved by this glass of wine and a drunken drink? It's just to add to the sadness. ”

"You old man, how can you have so much nonsense! I won't lose your wine money, don't bother me! ”

"Well, you're complaining? You must know that there are thousands of people in this world who are more miserable than you? ”

Seeing that Liu Aodong still ignored him, the shopkeeper was not angry, but simply drank wine with him, and kept enlightening him during the process.

I only heard the shopkeeper say to Liu Aodong seriously: "Young man, you don't have to worry too much about life in the world. As long as you live a frank life and do a good job, you will have your own foothold wherever you go! On the contrary, it is possible to be scolded and stenched for thousands of years! ”

Hearing this, Liu Aodong seemed to be touched.

Then, the shopkeeper continued: "You always say that life is hard and tired, who is not? It's easy to die, but once you're dead, can you still live? You must know that once you die, it means eternal death! ”

"You just say that Qu Liqing County Order of Ji County, Shandong, what a good person, it's a pity that good people are not good to report wow! No, just last night, the county magistrate of Naqu committed suicide in prison for no apparent reason! Back then, I had a few encounters with him, and I had a lot of fun with each other like you and me. But now, in an instant, heaven and man are separated forever, and you call me ......"

"What do you say! What's wrong with my uncle! Before the shopkeeper could finish speaking, Liu Aodong stood up emotionally, and then grabbed him by the collar and asked loudly.

"Say wow, what's wrong with my uncle! Say! Say wow! Say it! What happened to him! ”

When the shopkeeper saw this, he was immediately stunned.

When he was young, the shopkeeper said to him in a hesitant manner: "Qu ...... The prefectural order ...... yesterday I committed suicide in prison last night. ”

"What did you say!" The innkeeper's words woke Liu Aodong like a thunderbolt from the sky, so that his alcohol disappeared.

After Liu Aodong unexpectedly learned of this, he was despaired. I saw him rush out of the room desperately, and drift away until he disappeared into the night.

Today's weather is really unpredictable, and now it looks like it's going to rain, Liu Aodong actually dares to run out.

When the shopkeeper saw this, he was deeply disturbed, fearing that something would happen to him, so he took his umbrella and chased him out.

When the innkeeper caught up with him, it was already pouring rain. However, to the great surprise of the shopkeeper, in the face of such a heavy rain, Liu Aodong did not find a place to hide, but stood upright in the rain and cried. Let the wind and rain blow, but still unmoved.

Seeing this, the shopkeeper knew that he must have had this abnormal behavior because he had suffered a great blow to his body and mind.

Therefore, the shopkeeper did not come forward to dissuade him, but watched him silently from the side, waited for him to finish venting, and then took him back to the store.

At this moment, Liu Ao**, who was standing and crying, suddenly cried to the ground, and then clenched his fists and slammed down on the muddy ground.

The hammer was so that the muddy water splashed and the stubborn stones protruded, so that the flesh and blood on the hands were blurred and blood flowed. This situation is really distressing.

During this period, the most and most heart-rending sentence he said was - Uncle Qu, I'm sorry for you!

This situation continued until the rain passed, and then the shopkeeper helped Liu Aodong, who was lying on the ground, and staggered away from this sad place together.

This is exactly what it is: the righteous are still alive even though they die, and the villains are still alive and dead. It is better to give up his life for his family and country than to live for personal gain.
