Scoops of cold water continued to pour down, but they still couldn't wash away all the blood stains on their hands.

Chen Anzhi looked at the back of his fleshy hand, his face was cold and his eyes were in a trance, he had a lot of distractions in his heart, and the only feeling he didn't feel was pain.

Since Chen Xun ordered the closure of the city, he took the Chen cultivators to the streets to intercept and kill the officials who fled against the order, and by this moment, hundreds of people had died under his hands.

Officials who do not obey the prime minister's orders must be killed, otherwise Chen Xun will not be able to take the opportunity to rebuild the prime minister's authority and seek more opportunities to do things;

Officials who collide with and even kill the people must also be killed, otherwise it will not be enough to make the people realize that the prime minister loves the people and protects the people, and it is not enough to deter others who want to flee;

If you kill an official, you will offend the bureaucratic group, and if you kill a lot of officials, you will isolate yourself from the bureaucracy, so it is very important to choose the object.

Chen Anzhi just made a move against the officials of the Hanmen.

In this way, at least the family likes to hear about it, and can atone for the sins committed by the Chen family in the previous years.

Fortunately, all the families in Bianliang have similar thoughts to Chen Xun for the time being - if they want to fight against Bianliang, whether they succeed or not, they must rebuild the prestige of the family, gain the support of the people, and reverse the situation of being oppressed by the cold family.

Therefore, the officials of the family did not flee.

If the Liu, Pong, Xu and other families are here, they may abandon the city and flee regardless of the overall situation and the overall interests of the family. But they're no longer there.

Now in these families, there is no such thing as a big traitor.

Chen An killed a lot of people, because even after the queen came to Bianliang, there were still many wealthy businessmen and powerful squires who wanted to escape from the city with gold and silver through the way they had accumulated on weekdays.

Chen Anzhi showed no mercy to these people.

In the years before the National War, he had accumulated too many grievances in his heart.

Seeing Zhao Ning traveling the world at ease, as soon as he returned to Yanping, Xu Minglang was wiped out, and his means were as unpredictable as a god, seeing Wei Wuxian slash and fast in the Western Regions, killing thieves and breaking the enemy, winning many battles, and rising to a high position, Chen Anzhi's sorrow flourished day by day.

I think he Chen Anzhi is also a young handsome man in Yanping, with good talent and outstanding talents, he should have a bright future, he showed his strength in the government and the opposition, and made great achievements in front of the outstanding people, and was admired by thousands of people and praised by the people.

But how can you live like a dirt dog now?

When Zhao Ning and Wei Wuxian were showing their ambitions and becoming famous all over the world, he couldn't say that he couldn't catch up with them, walk on the same road with them, and couldn't even be a mediocre.

Under the emperor's instruction and the family's arrangement, he became a man who walked in the dark, full of filth.

When the cabinet unscrupulously calculated the officials of the family, he became a traitor to the family, an executioner who suppressed the family, day after day, year after year, for the sake of the growth of the Hanmen's power, and against his will to deal with the family.

In those years, he didn't know who he was or what he was doing, he only knew that reality did not give him the opportunity to choose, did not give him the space to have his own will, and for the survival of the family, he could only turn himself into a sword and a knife.

The walking dead, perverse, unable to distinguish between right and wrong, unable to see the alternation of the sun and the moon, and living almost crazy.

Zhao's protégé is old, and he has dealt with it a lot, even if the other party has no bad deeds in the official position, even if the other party keeps to himself when doing business;

Wei's relatives and friends of the side branches, he dealt with more, the deposed deposed, the dismissed, the house raided, and the imprisoned.

He never took the initiative to snare the other party's crimes, nor did he try to bring them down.

It's just that when a number of crime documents are placed in front of him, as the supervisor of Dali Temple, under the gaze of a pair of green and oily cold officials, he can only sign his name and seal in the arrest documents, so that those cold officials who want to turn the interests of the family into their own and eat the flesh and blood of the family officials can justifiably go to take people.

At that time, Wei Wuxian, who was still fighting in the Western Regions, wrote to him several times, asking him to mediate and open up to the Wei clan's people, reduce the latter's original guilt, and not let the Wei clansmen end up in prison or exile.

Chen Anzhi also wanted to do the same, but he couldn't.

The prime minister is just an echo worm, what can he do?

He could only wave his hand and let other Chen officials who were also involuntary join the ranks of the officials of the Han family who took people and interrogated them, and committed crimes and planted blood debts with their own hands.

When the officials of the Hanmen didn't take him seriously, ridiculed him behind his back as a puppet, and the dignitaries of the family hated them so much that they secretly cursed him for not dying well, who still remembered that he Chen Anzhi was also a merry boy who was rampant in the Yanping market and had the best grievances?

He was also as famous as Zhao Ning and Wei Wuxian!

If you don't vent and counsel in time, sooner or later, one day, you will either drive people crazy or let people die of depression.

Even though Chen Anzhi is young and has not messed up his mind for a few more years, it is precisely because he is young that he does not have such a strong psychological defense line, and he was already on the verge of collapse before the outbreak of the national war.

And now, he finally has a chance to vent his grievances.

For those poor officials who did not obey the order and fled without authorization, he killed them without scruples and heartily.

How was he despised by, ridiculed, and coerced by these poor officials before, and now how can he kill him with the knife in his hand!

How did these poor officials once rely on the power of the cabinet and the emperor to roast him and the Chen family on the fire, and now how can he use the lives of the other party to repay the blood debt!

It's not enough to kill one, it's not enough to kill ten, then kill a hundred, kill a thousand!

By now, he was exhausted and exhausted.

When the city finally settled down, he could finally go back to his house to rest.

After killing so many people, no matter how much bitterness there is in his heart, it stands to reason that he should have almost vented it, but Chen An did not have the slightest joy in his heart, nor did he feel any ease.

Killing people is just venting anger, and venting anger cannot change the trajectory of life, let the dark life see the light, let alone let him change from a sinner referred to by thousands of people to a hero respected by all people, and realize the ambition he had since he was a child.

Because of the exhaustion of killing people and the confusion of his mind, Chen Anzhi, who was in a trance, suddenly found that he had an extra square scarf in his hand, and the subordinates who kept watering him also stopped moving.

Then, he heard Chen Xun's voice: "Wipe, come with my father." ”

Chen Anzhi barely stabilized his mind, wiped his hands indiscriminately, threw the square towel to his subordinates, and followed Chen Xun into the study.

"No need to stand. Chen Xun sat down on the Taishi chair, pointed to the chair in front of him, and motioned for Chen Anzhi to sit down and rest.

Seeing Chen An's almost sluggish face, Chen Xun was both sad and distressed.

As a father and head of the family, he failed to make the Chen family prosperous, not to mention, but also brought his clan and his own son into a desperate situation.

Over the years, seeing Chen Anzhi, who was high-spirited, jealous and hateful, and hot-tempered in the past, has become depressed day by day, has lost his spirit, and is unhappy all day long, like a pool of lifeless stagnant water, and even the cultivation realm has been delayed, he sees it in his eyes and hurts in his heart.

After years of helplessness, he didn't dare to face his best son many times.

"My Chen family, a family of etiquette and law, in the past thirteen sects, although in terms of power and financial resources at the bottom, but it is also a noble family, with a good reputation, whether it is in the court or in the people, it is quite respected.

"However, in this dynasty, the Son of Heaven stirred up the storm, first the civil and military disputes, and then the dispute between the families and the cold families, in this torrent of centralized imperial power, even if we want to be alone, we can't ask for it.

"When Xu Minglang and the Zhao family were fighting, we could still disobey and stay out of the matter, but when the situation became more and more intense, after His Majesty elected my Chen family, it was impossible for us to maintain a clean family style and not stand in line. ”

Speaking of this, Chen Xun sighed, "Over the years, the clansmen have endured countless hardships and tortures, and they are all over the house, and it is rare to hear a few laughs throughout the year.

"We had a hard time outside, we were so angry that we couldn't get back home. It's been many years, including you, everyone's cultivation realm has been delayed a lot, this is all the fault of the father, and the father is sorry for the ancestors!"

Chen Anzhi's godless eyes finally regained focus, he shook his head, looked at Chen Xun painfully and helplessly, and said: "Although the Chen family is a family, in the face of top power, it is only a small existence.

"The world is clear, we can naturally maintain a noble status, abide by the etiquette and inheritance lintel, but once the dynasty changes, the world is not right, and we respect the strength, we can only drift with the waves, and the honor and disgrace are not up to others.

"This is the ups and downs of the general trend of the world, what can my generation do? Father must not blame himself too much. ”

After hearing Chen Anzhi's words, Chen Xun was very surprised, looking at the other party's vision was very complicated, with gratification and admiration and sadness: "My father didn't expect that you could say these words, it seems that you have used your brains a lot over the years." ”

After a pause, Chen Xun smiled bitterly: "I think at the beginning, you were a hot and straight person, and you longed for the Jin Ge Iron Horse to kill on the battlefield, and when you encounter something that you think is wrong, the first thing that comes to mind is to roll up your sleeves and rush forward."

"Although it seems to be a little reckless, it is better to have a pure mind, if you can maintain this heart, I am afraid that it will already be the ...... of the king's extreme realm."

Chen Anzhi still shook his head, his face was engraved with low helplessness and despair: "The situation is stronger than people, and if you want to survive, you have to adapt to reality, this is the basic truth, not a question of choosing or not choosing."

"The tragedy of Chan is that we can't change the overall situation of the dynasty, and we want to adapt to the trend and follow the general trend, but we find that under the general trend, we will only be crushed to pieces, and there is no way forward. ”

Speaking of this, Chen Anzhi closed his eyes.

A moment later, when he opened his eyes again, his eyes were full of murder.

He is like a prisoner who has fallen deeper and deeper into the abyss, and there is no hope in sight, because the unwillingness and resentment in his heart have accumulated too much, and he finally bottoms out before checkmate.

He stared at Chen Xun, and said word by word: "Father blocked the whole city this time, let Son let go of his hand to kill the officials who violated the order, let Son be very happy, and the blocks that had accumulated in his chest for many years were swept away!"

"Father, the left and right are a death, the momentum is menacing, and the Chen family has no future, but why do I, the Chen family, have to die on my knees?

"As long as the father gives the order, the son will kill all those who disobey the father's order, and when the father can order the ban, the son will take the cultivators of the clan out of the city and fight to the death against the Beihu barbarian thieves!

"If so, even if it is defeated, Chen's backbone will straighten up again, even if he is dead, Chen's will die standing up!"

At this moment, Chen Anzhi, who had made up his mind and was angry and blood-surging in his heart, his eyes were like fire, and a burst of excitement suddenly burst out of his body, and there was a momentum of a fierce beast coming out of the cage and the white tiger going down the mountain!

Chen Xun couldn't help but feel his heart flutter, and his eyes lit up.

After many years, he finally saw in Chen Anzhi the heroic courage that the other party has had since he was a child, and he is not afraid of everything.

At this moment, Chen Anzhi is no longer a lifeless prisoner who is oppressed by power to the point of walking dead, but like a fierce general in armor who is stubborn and self-sufficient!

It seems that this baptism of killing the dog official really made him a lot clear-minded.

Chen Xun's cloudy old eyes couldn't help but be a little moist.

"Okay! My son is a hero, so he should kill the enemy on the battlefield, make meritorious contributions, and become famous all over the world! The Chen family has the responsibility of reviving the family style, revitalizing the family, winning the respect of the world, and standing up again in front of the world.

Chen Xun slapped the armrest of the Taishi chair heavily, and he didn't control his strength under the agitation of his heart, and he actually slapped the armrest into a spiderweb-like crack!
