Chapter 27: Ho San's Statement
"Qian Hui, what are you going to do?" Seeing the scene of Qian Hui slapping the rice ball in Uncle He's hand, Qian Neng suddenly jumped out from behind Qian Hui, grabbed his hand, and then asked angrily.
Before Qian Hui could answer, Uncle He exclaimed in surprise when he saw Qian Neng, his face was full of surprise, and he shouted loudly: "Qian Neng! Are you Qian Neng? After you disappeared five years ago, I still treat you as already."
However, He San's words were not finished, but he was interrupted by Qian Hui's sarcastic words: "You think my eldest brother is dead, right?
Listening to Qian Hui's words, He San's face was stunned. He stretched out his hand and wanted to touch Qian Hui's shoulder: "Qian Hui, what's wrong with you?"
However, seeing He San's outstretched hand, Qian Hui retreated in disgust, and then sneered: "Do you still want to pretend to be a good person? I know everything! Seven years ago, my parents were arrested by you!"
Listening to Qian Hui's words, He San's face suddenly turned pale! While Qian Neng on the side hurriedly pushed Qian Hui and signaled him to shut up quickly: "Qian Hui, forget it! Isn't this matter over?"
After hearing what Qian Neng said, Qian Hui immediately shouted angrily at Qian Neng: "Big brother, I think you are confused! Can this matter of revenge be said to be over? Don't you want to take revenge on your parents? You will listen to me about this matter, big brother! Leave no one who should be killed, and not kill anyone who should not be killed! Isn't this bad?"
Qian Neng sighed and said with a wry smile: "But you have killed a lot of people who shouldn't have been killed!"
Qian Hui was about to refute, but He San on the side interjected: "Okay, okay, you brothers don't fight! Don't be angry! Can you say a few words? When I finish speaking, if you want to kill or chop, you two brothers will follow!"
Hearing He San's words, Qian Neng and Qian Hui finally stopped, and their eyes looked in the direction of He San together, Qian Hui seemed to want to hear what waves He San could turn over, but Qian Neng had a look of concern in his eyes, and there was a hint of apology contained in it.
However, as the two of them quieted, He San finally began to speak.
"I still remember that 20 years ago, I was still a soldier! My great-grandfather was a member of the Yue family's army! Since then, our family has been advocating martial arts! Not long after I joined the army, we went to the battlefield. A group of our recruits fought several battles with those Tartars, but it was true that there were more defeats and fewer victories, and how many of my comrades died in front of me. Many partners who were still alive the day before said "Speaking of this, He San's eyes actually left a few tears." Tears rolled down his cheeks and dripped quietly.
"Well, our army suffered a big defeat. At that time, it was almost completely annihilated. I remember that time, we met the Great Khan of the Mongols, and then, our morale was in turmoil! I remember that time, I hid in the pile of dead people to escape the massacre of the Mongols. At that time, the body of my best friend was covered with me, and the Mongols did not find me. I waited there for three days and three nights, without eating anything, and I survived by drinking human blood when I was thirsty! Later, after the Mongols were gone, I crawled out from under my brother's corpse and fled all the way. ”
He San said and smiled bitterly twice, as if he was ashamed of his timidity: "Then, I don't dare to be a soldier anymore." I have always remembered the images of the Mongols slaughtering their captives in those two days, and I often dream of it every night! After I escaped, I fled all the way to the south, hoping to find a job to live well in my next life. Now the Great Song Empire is also in turmoil, and there is only the south, and it is a little more peaceful! So in the end, I came here. At that time, I was already penniless, and it happened that the yamen was still recruiting people at that time, so I went to sign up. When the county magistrate saw me, he was very satisfied, so he settled me down -- anyway, you two boys did the assassination of the county magistrate half a month ago, and no one knows who the last person was involved except for the county magistrate -- don't mention this. Since I became a servant, because of my good skills, I became the leader in a few days. Of course, I didn't do anything less than that day—"
"Bandits came to our county that day. Those bandits were terrible! They traveled through many counties and counties, and finally came to us. At that moment, an order came from the capital, saying that the county order must exterminate this wandering bandit! At that time, the situation in our country was very tight, and almost half of the army went to the front line. Therefore, this has also led to a gap in the military strength of the south, so we have no army to mobilize here, and to fight bandits, there are only a few officials in the county. How is this possible? The emperor, who was far away in the capital, did not consider the actual situation at all. ”
Speaking of this, He San's expression suddenly fell, as if he remembered something sad: "At that time, the county commander sent about half of the officials - there were about ten - to go up the mountain. Then the next day, the prefectural commander's house received a package, which seemed to have been thrown in from outside the courtyard. When I opened it, there were ten left ears, bloody, and a letter, written in human blood. It probably said that if there was another attack on that gang of bandits, the next time the prefectural commander's ears would be placed in the package! This would make the prefectural magistrate so frightened that he would no longer dare to move the idea of exterminating the bandits. But the emperor's holy decree must not be done, otherwise the black gauze hat on his head will not be kept. That day, the county magistrate thought about it for a long time, and finally came up with this bad idea. At that time, I still opposed the decision of the prefectural order, and I also said that I didn't want to go, and I wanted to resign directly. As a result, the prefectural magistrate was furious and said that if I didn't arrest someone this time, he would hand over my head. He also said that after completing this task, he would casually ask me to resign. I was scared too! The blood I had been on the battlefield was gone, so I promised him! So I came to your house that day and took your parents away."
Looking at Qian Neng and Qian Hui's sad eyes, there was something more in He San's eyes. He continued: "Your parents are not the only ones who died on that mission. At that time, I arrested almost everyone on the street, and finally I had enough quotas, and then all of them were beheaded and sent to the capital. Then I quit my job and set up a shoe stall here with the money I had accumulated in the past. At that time, you came here to beg almost at the same time! When I talked to you for the first time, I found out that your parents were taken away by me! At that time, I was also heartbroken, so I took care of you. Now you finally know. I also know that it's useless for me to say this, after all, it's also a revenge for killing my parents, so I said"
Before he finished speaking, He San suddenly took out a dagger from under the stall and came out! He looked at Qian Hui and smiled bitterly, and suddenly inserted it into his lower abdomen!
Qian Neng was taken aback and wanted to reach out to block it, but he was also a step too late, and the dagger in He San's hand entered He San's body in an instant. Black blood flowed down the dagger, staining He San's clothes a sticky red. The corners of He San's mouth were also slowly oozing blood, but he was indeed still smiling, smiling extremely happily, with a relaxed expression on his face.
"Now, you are satisfied, I can't survive after all! Come on, two young men, with the hope of your parents, live well!"
After speaking, He San actually closed his eyes and died in front of Qian Neng!
