"Master, if it were you, how would you decide?"

Situ Nan was silent for a moment, then suddenly raised his head and asked Zhao Tianlun this question.

"Smack!"

Without hesitation, Zhao Tianlun slapped Situ Nan's head on the head, and his voice was fierce: "The road is your own way, the master can only show you the direction, whether to go or not, you can only decide by yourself." ”

Zhao Tianlun couldn't answer this question, or rather, he didn't dare to answer, so he refused to answer.

"Wronged, my son is really wronged." The old woman knelt on the ground and sobbed in a low voice, "Open your eyes, God." ”

"God's eyes have long been blind," Zhao Tianlun shook his head, feeling quite uncomfortable in his heart, because this kind of thing is indeed very common, up and down for thousands of years, east, west, north, south, and middle, such incidents are not uncommon, so he doesn't want to embarrass Situ Nan, "Forget it, let's go." ”

"Master, don't you really care?" Situ Nan raised his head in surprise and looked at Zhao Tianlun in surprise, "Chivalrous and righteous, this is not a ......"

"If the master and I are alone, it doesn't hurt to reach out," Zhao Tianlun rubbed Situ Nan's head, "But now, you have a younger brother at home, if you are not afraid of the destruction of the family, and you are willing to let your brother wander the world with us, then the master doesn't matter." ”

Situ Nan hesitated for a moment, his face slowly turned pale, his younger brother Situ Guang is only six years old this year, let his six-year-old brother follow him to wander the rivers and lakes, even if he is a rookie in the rivers and lakes, he also knows that this is impossible.

His dream is to become the best master in the world, and for this dream, he has lost his family business and is already sorry for his younger brother; Could it be that because of impulse, I want my younger brother to wander the world and have no food and clothing?

I have to admit that Situ Nan, a second-year teenager, matures quite quickly, at least he now knows a little responsibility as an elder brother.

"Let's go, if you don't leave, the official will bring someone over."

Zhao Tianlun didn't kill just now, so the official fled with a crawl, according to the habits of officials, if one person can't beat him, he will call his friends to go together, after all, they are attacking the police.

"Auntie," Situ Nan lowered his voice, took out a few taels of silver from his arms, and put them in the old woman's hand, "People can't be resurrected after death, and the mourning is smooth." ”

"Master, let's go back."

Situ Nan's mood was very low, and Zhao Tianlun didn't say anything.

When ideals hit a wall in the face of reality, anyone will be lost.

After a journey, Situ Nan suddenly spoke: "Master, I want to change a hard bow." ”

"Hard bow," Zhao Tianlun nodded, "It's not impossible, it's just that your strength is not enough, and it is easy to bruise yourself if you use a hard bow. ”

……

Night.

Zhao Tianlun stood outside the courtyard gate, looking at the starlight in the sky in a daze.

Situ Nan's ideals have encountered a cruel reality, why is Zhao Tianlun not like this?

Everyone has a choice, and there are risks in either choice, but one has to make a choice.

A trembling voice came from behind him, and then a hesitant voice sounded: "Master? ”

"Hmm."

Zhao Tianlun turned around slowly, and then the corners of his mouth twitched, because what appeared in front of him was a black monkey Situ Nan, whose originally white face was covered with ash at the bottom of the pot, and only the whites of his eyes and teeth were white on one face, and the other parts were black with his fingers not visible.

"You're well prepared." Zhao Tianlun smiled, "You've decided?" ”

"It's decided," Situ Nan nodded firmly, "Master, if I don't know about this matter, it's fine, now that I know that I don't do anything, then I can't forgive myself in this life." ”

is really an innocent, kind and simple secondary two boy......

"Let's go." Zhao Tianlun turned around, "We don't have much time. ”

"Master," Situ Nan ran two steps and followed behind Zhao Tianlun, lowering his voice, "If the apprentice doesn't come out, will you be disappointed?" ”

"Disappointed?" Zhao Tianlun was a little surprised, "Why are you disappointed?" ”

"Hate iron doesn't make steel," Situ Nan smiled, "In the face of this choice, the apprentice puts the preservation of his life first, and has no chivalrous spirit, won't you be disappointed, master?" ”

"Relatives and relatives," Zhao Tianlun said lightly, "If you don't care about your younger brother and take care of everything, then I will be disappointed." ”

"Then if I don't come out tonight, master, do you want to do the right thing for heaven?" Situ Nan looked curious.

"Since you're out, don't ask these questions," Zhao Tianlun refused to give an answer, "How much do you know about this Wu Yuanwai?" ”

"This Wu Yuanwai should be Wu Qing of the Four Currency Store," Situ Nan snorted coldly, "This Wu Qing is a tyrant in the county, and he does all kinds of evil to bully men and women, but I heard that his daughter is the concubine of a big official in the provincial capital, so the county government also turns a blind eye to his Wu Qing's affairs." ”

"Are you sure?"

Zhao Tianlun was stunned for a moment, because Situ Nan didn't ask the old woman about the specific situation at that time, and Zhao Tianlun didn't see Situ Nan doing other things on the way back.

As for the ...... after coming back.

It should have been stimulated, and after Situ Nan came back, he directly began to practice the mental and arrow techniques of "Dugu Nine Swords", and did not find anyone else to understand the situation.

"Sure." Situ Nan nodded, "There are many businesses with workshops in the county, but only Wu Qing's family hires people on a large scale, and the others are family workshops; And the surname Wu is only Wu Qing's family. ”

Also......

Zhao Tianlun remembered that although this Situ Nan was a second-year teenager, because the people he came into contact with were more complicated, he knew more information.

Even if it's wrong, it's okay, it's a big deal to ask someone else.

Although the city wall of the county seat is high, it can't stop Zhao Tianlun.

At this time, it was already midnight, standing on the city wall, overlooking the county seat, it was pitch black, only the southeast corner was lit up, connected into a piece.

"Master, there is Wu Qing's workshop, which occupies a street, so Wu Qing is also called Wu Ba Street," Situ Nan smacked his lips, "Wu Qing's workshop produces everything, of course, it mainly produces woodware, and monopolizes the woodware trade in the entire county." ”

After seeing the scale of Ruyang Palace, Zhao Tianlun's horizons have been broadened, and Wu Qing's home covers an area that is not small, but it is far from being comparable with Ruyang Palace, but Wu Qing's workshop surprised Zhao Tianlun, because it was an assembly line operation.

"There's no fire here, huh? Isn't it here, but there is a workshop surnamed Wu in the county, and only Wu Qing's family has it? ”

The workshop was brightly lit, and although it was already about twelve o'clock in the evening, the workshop workers were still working overtime under the scolding of the supervisor.

Zhao Tianlun took Situ Nan around the workshop, and found no traces of fire in the workshop, isn't this place?

"Master, shall we grab an overseer and ask?" Situ Nan proposed.

This secondary two teenager doesn't seem to be stupid, Zhao Tianlun admires Situ Nan more, at least he knows to come to check the scene first and conduct an investigation, instead of bullying the weak and going straight to the door.

Flashing forward, Zhao Tianlun grabbed the neck of an overseer with his left hand, and gently patted the overseer with his right hand, knocking the overseer unconscious, and then stepped back.

"Master, you are so strong!"

Situ Nan's eyes were full of gold stars, and he looked up at Zhao Tianlun with admiration: "I can't see your figure clearly at all, master." ”

"Don't pat yourself on the back," Zhao Tianlun pouted, he didn't expect him to have a day of knocking people down, "Do you ask or do I ask?" ”

"It's better for the master to ask," Situ Nan knew that he was too young to intimidate the other party, "The apprentice's skills are shallow now, and he needs to study hard with the master." ”

Wake up the overseer, Zhao Tianlun lowered his voice: "Say, where is the place where you burned people last time, what the hell is going on, don't say it, I'll strangle you." ”

The overseer was woken up by Zhao Tianlun's slap, and was about to scream, when the hand on his neck was slightly forced, making the overseer feel like his neck was broken.

"Be honest, otherwise," Zhao Tianlun slowly let go, "It's easier to strangle you than to crush an ant." ”

"Big ...... Uncle," the overseer closed his eyes in fear, for fear that he would be silenced because he saw the other party, "I didn't see you, don't kill me." ”

"As long as you cooperate, I won't kill you."

"Uncle, that's the case," the overseer lowered his voice, "The lord fell in love with Lin Guo's land, but Lin Guo refused to sell it to the lord, so the lord was very angry, and Mr. Wang gave the lord an idea, and simply killed this Lin Guo, saying that Lin Guo had a grudge against the lord and set fire to take revenge on the lord, but accidentally burned himself to death, so that the Lin family's land fell into the hands of the lord, and it didn't cost much." ”

And so it was.

"What's going on with those two workers?" Zhao Tianlun continued to ask.

"The two men saw the old man kill Lin Guo," the overseer was terrified, "Mr. Wang said to avoid future troubles, and let the old man beat these two people to death." ”

Zhao Tianlun thought for a while, slapped the overseer unconscious, and then asked Situ Nan: "Now that things are basically clear, what are you going to do?" ”

"Master, our purpose is to do the right thing for the heavens, so we can't kill innocents indiscriminately," Situ Nan thought for a while, "Now we can determine that Wang Tent and Wu Qing deserve to die, but we have no evidence, if there is no evidence, it will be difficult to clear Lin Guo's grievances." ”

"Apprentice," Zhao Tianlun was silent for a moment, "Your idea is very good, but how do you think you can clear up your grievances?" It is impossible for this overseer to be a witness, because he will definitely change his mind when he arrives at the yamen; You're not a government, you don't have law enforcement powers, and if you want to make this matter public, it's difficult, almost impossible. ”

"Master, I know that with your martial arts, it will be easy to destroy Wu Qingmanman," Situ Nan looked at Zhao Tianlun carefully, "But master, if we do that, the government will identify us as thugs who kill people and goods, maybe it will also involve Lin Guo's mother, and it may also involve me, for the sake of my brother, we must do this matter seamlessly." ”

"You want to expose the crime to the world," Zhao Tianlun understood Situ Nan's thoughts, "In this way, the government will settle the matter and have to overturn the case for Lin Guo?" ”

"Master wise." Situ Nan hurriedly patted Zhao Tianlun's ass.

"It's useless," Zhao Tianlun shook his head, "If we want to overturn Lin Guo's case, we must have ironclad evidence, and this ironclad evidence is afraid that it will be difficult to find." ”

"Master," Situ Nanxi made a request to Zhao Tianlun, "How can such a trivial matter stump my wise and martial master, isn't it?" ”

Facing Situ Nan, Zhao Tianlun almost shouted the words "It's your sister".

Wang Xianghui's sleep quality has always been very good, because he is a very useful dog, and he is also a very important dog, and naturally he is also a dog that is deeply favored by his owner, and he is a dog above 10,000 people under one person.

Wang Xianghui, who is proud of the spring breeze, is naturally satisfied, so the quality of sleep is very good.

It's just that today Wang Xianghui suddenly woke up in the early hours of the morning and was woken up.

In the dim light, a sword shining with cold light was pressed against his throat, so Wang Xianghui woke up.

"Big ...... Uncle," Wang Xianghui's upper and lower teeth trembled, "you...... What do you want? ”

"Where are the books of the workshop?" Zhao Tianlun threatened in a cold voice, "Take it out for me immediately." ”

Wang Xianghui's legs were weak, and he crawled to the side of the cabinet and took out a thick stack of account books.

Zhao Tianlun threw the account book to Situ Nan: "Find the details of the latest month's entry and exit." ”

The Lin Guo incident happened twenty days ago, since this Wu Qing is lawless, and this Wang Xianghui is a dog, then Lin Guo's incident is to crush an ant to death for them, and they will not take it to heart at all, so there are naturally traces to follow.

"Master, I found it." Situ Nan was surprised and delighted, "It is very clear in the account book that on the third day of the fourth lunar month, the old man killed Lin Guo, Zhang Sheng, and Li Guang, burned down a wooden house, and lost one or two pieces of silver. ”

"With this alone, you can crucify them!" Situ Nan slapped the table angrily, "Wang Xianghui, you and Wu Qing killed people and seized property, and did all kinds of evil, and the crime deserved death!" ”

Wang Xianghui's body trembled suddenly, and a foul smell permeated the room, Zhao Tianlun frowned, but he didn't expect Situ Nan's roar to make Wang Xianghui pee.

"Who?"

"Wang's tent?"

"There are thieves!"

……

Situ Nan's impassioned anger alarmed the guards outside, after all, Wang Xianghui, as a dog trusted and reused by Wu Qing, had an important position in Wu Qing's workshop.

"Apprentice, deal with him," Zhao Tianlun stuffed the sword into Situ Nan's hand, "We don't have much time." ”

"This ......"

Situ Nan was at a loss with his sword, yes, Situ Nan thought that he had killed someone, but it was a killing person with a bow and arrow, although he killed someone, he didn't watch it up close, let alone stab the murder weapon into the person's body at close range.

"Uncle, spare your life, spare your life."

Wang Xianghui knelt on the ground and kowtowed frantically: "It's Wu Qing who wants to kill someone, I can't help it, the culprit is Wu Qing, uncle, spare my dog's life." ”

Situ Nan turned to Zhao Tianlun in embarrassment: "Master, I'm ...... I ......"

"Aren't you going to be chivalrous?" Zhao Tianlun turned a blind eye to Situ Nan's request for help, "Aren't you going to do the right thing for heaven?" This dog is only the first, there is Wu Qing below, after a long delay, Wu Qing ran away, and the consequences were unimaginable. ”

"Don't forget, Wu Qing is the murderer, but this dog is the culprit," Zhao Tianlun accentuated, "If it weren't for this dog, Lin Guo wouldn't have been killed, the other two workers wouldn't have been killed, and the old woman wouldn't have been lonely, let alone crying out for injustice." ”

"Since you have chosen this path, you have no chance of regretting." Zhao Tianlun put his hands behind his back, as if he was out of the matter, "If you want the disaster to come more violently, you want the old woman and your brother to die without a place to be buried......"

"You should be a good person in the next life!"

Situ Nan screamed, swung his sword, and slashed at Wang Xianghui's neck—

Blood shot out, splashing Situ Nan's black face, and in an instant, Situ Nan was like a Shura who had come out of hell, overflowing with evil energy. (To be continued.) )
