The wind is bleak, the loess mound is lonely, and more than ten people are sitting around, silent.

This hatred penetrates the sky, infinitely tragic.

"Only I survived, I know that Gu Chengfeng is not a hero at all, it is clear that he is greedy for merit and killed thousands of brothers." Zhao Pingyang's eyes were red, and his eyes flashed with raging anger, "The most hateful thing is that at a critical moment, he actually pulled the people around him to block the knife." ”

After speaking, he looked up and laughed, but tears flew out of the corners of his eyes, "Such a person has become a hero, a loyal general who is respected by all people, hahaha - ridiculous!" Lamentable! ”

Laugh for the people of the world, and have compassion for the soldiers who died in vain.

The laughter stopped, and a dark light crossed his eyes, "Gu Chengfeng deserves to die, Li He deserves to die, if he hadn't dispatched in advance in order to grab military merits and arouse pirate vigilance, he would not have caused the entire army to be annihilated." ”

Lu Anran finally understood why Zhao Pingyang repeatedly targeted the Gu family, in his opinion, Gu Chengfeng died, but the people of the Gu family enjoyed the shadow, which was equivalent to the same crime.

Yun Qi asked: "But I heard that Gu Chengfeng took the pirate lair by surprise and made the naval battle end early." This is also the reason why Gu Chengfeng's achievements are the highest.

Zhao Pingyang tried his best to endure his anger, "The real hero is General An, he is knowledgeable, wise and brave, so Gu Chengfeng has been suppressing him openly and secretly." At that time, General An Shen found out that something was wrong and asked Gu Chengfeng to take someone on a detour, but Gu Chengfeng was stubborn and didn't listen at all. ”

"After the pirates came over, Gu Chengfeng commanded indiscriminately, and was pressed by the other party step by step, at the critical moment, General An took more than 30 people with good water characteristics to break out, lurked from the bottom of the sea, and took the opportunity to destroy the pirate station, only to wait for General Sun's reinforcements to arrive, and the pirates were wiped out."

But a group of them died heroically.

Zhao Pingyang covered his eyes with one hand, threw the sunlight out of the cave door, and said gloomily: "I am soft-spoken, and I can't even prove my identity, how can I tell the truth to the world." At that time, the emperor had already issued a decree to reward the Holy Order, which was a foregone conclusion, and I knew that I could not get justice, and everyone was dead, so what about justice. ”

This is Zhao Pingyang's compromise, and he can only accept the helplessness of reality in a daze.

Qi Shang couldn't speak, so Yun Qi had to ask himself, "What happened later?" How did you end up in the royal capital? ”

Zhao Pingyang took a breath, took his hand down, and after hiding his grief and indignation, his face became extremely indifferent, "People like you will never see anyone in your life who looks down on the sick and sees themselves in pain, waiting for death day after day." ”

"I just want to help them get back the silver taels they deserve, which is the money that their sons, brothers, husbands, and fathers exchanged for their deaths, so why should they be wasted."

"If the local government can't do it, I will go to the king to complain. Luckily, I have a brother named Wang Shouren, who is from the royal capital, so I took his guide and identity card. ”

Wang Shouren also had both parents dead, but he had an elder brother, who had two brothers who depended on each other before, and then the elder brother married a wife, and his sister-in-law did not wait to see him, so he went to the army in a fit of anger, planning to mix up and go back.

Lu Anran guessed: "You went to Jingzhao Mansion?" ”

Zhao Pingyang was silent for a while, and said: "I only learned when I came to the royal capital, the royal capital is full of nobles, and the relationship between people is closer and more complicated, what can I do if I have no way out?" I finally spent money to hire someone to write a paper, and I learned to beat the drum and voice my grievances as said in the play, but I couldn't even see the Yin side of Jingzhao Mansion, only a master book below, and before I could hand over the paper, I was injured first. ”

The longer the king stayed, the more Zhao Pingyang felt powerless as a poor commoner, there was no way to sue, there was nowhere to say wrongs, and if he wanted to go back, he had no face to face the faces of Yin Yin's expectation.

After thinking about it, he thought of a way, "I found the Gu family and threatened that if they didn't help me sue the court, I would tell Gu Chengfeng about it." ”

A person who appeared out of nowhere, the Gu family didn't take it seriously at all.

"I only have this way, I was going to hijack Gu Chengfeng's sister to negotiate conditions, but something went wrong in the middle, and I was killed."

"Wang Shouren's identity can no longer be used, I hid in the Qinglou to do chores, and accidentally met a foreign businessman who fell into the river and died, I took advantage of the darkness to touch his identity card."

So, he became Zou Taiyao.

"Half a year ago, Xu Zhongshou's son beat people on the street, he was very arrogant and domineering, and he didn't treat civilians as people at all." Zhao Pingyang's expression was gloomy, and his face was as pale as the twilight.

"There are three kinds of people in the army, who are promoted by the shadow of their ancestors, and who come to the army to be gilded so that they can be crowned officials after they return;

The second way to worship in the middle is good, and there is a letter of introduction, which is equivalent to someone covering it;

The third type is the flat-headed people, even if people at this level make great contributions, the credit goes to the first two people, they rush to the front line, kill the most enemies, and shed the most blood, but in this life, they are only a thousand-commander, and they will never really get ahead. ”

Xu Zhongshou, Xue Youqing, and Jiang Wall are the first two categories, they are rampant and domineering in the army, greedy for life and afraid of death in the face of the enemy, and finally force other people's military exploits on themselves without shame, and enjoy the glory that should belong to others with peace of mind.

Zhao Pingyang sneered: "At the beginning, Xu Zhongshou showed off his might in the military camp, but he didn't expect his son to become even more aggressive. ”

Yun Qi's heart jumped: "So you killed him?" ”

Zhao Pingyang raised his eyes and glanced at him, there was no wave in his eyes, as if he had melted into the thick night, which was barren and lifeless, which would only involve people in that deep darkness and despair.

"I came to the royal capital once, not for me to open my mouth, to see the souls behind me who died unjustly, they sacrificed their lives for the country, but their wives and children and parents were starving and cold, they protected the country, and what did the country do to protect their children and parents.

I have no shame to go back, and there is only one cruel life in my body.

There is no way out, only one risky move. ”

When a person's humanity is exhausted, malice will grow little by little, slowly spreading out from the heart until it covers the whole body.

Zhao Pingyang hates the injustice of the world, hates people for being soft-spoken, and hates the sky without eyes, he blends this strong grief and indignation with the desperate situation at the end of the road, and makes him make a decision-

He did a big case to shock the royal capital, and he had the opportunity to speak in court.

"Do you believe in cause and effect?" Zhao Pingyang lowered his head, the whole person shrank in the shadows, and his voice was obscure: "The tactics that General An Shen once taught me will be used in the next case." ”

After more than a month, he stalked, stepped on points, and drew a layout, and finally found an opportunity to kidnap someone, and killed him by mysterious means he heard.

Lu Anran lowered his eyes, his gaze fell on Zhao Pingyang, and said in a clear voice: "You killed people to avenge your grievances in court, why did you change your mind later?" ”

Zhao Pingyang did plan to do this, after killing people, he went to the county government to turn himself in, and exchanged a cheap life for justice, which was worth it.

As for Xu Zhongshou's concubine, he thinks that he is not unjust.

As soon as he walked to the gate of Jingzhao Mansion, he saw one of the members of the embezzlement of silver and the lord of the mansion Bo coming out with a smile, and heard the lord Bo say: "Lord Liu, don't worry, even if the untouchables beat the drum hundreds of times, it is useless, he has a piece of heaven on his head, and he can still turn the day?" ”

The two laughed, and Zhao Pingyang's last thought was shattered, since the government couldn't give him justice, he used his own way.

The generals themselves are good at martial arts, and they are often accompanied by guards, Zhao Pingyang has no law, so he can only find their families, so the concubines of the Xue Mansion and the little servants of the Jiang Mansion are all buried in his hands.

Yun Qi pressed the handle of the fan against his chin, and there was confusion in his eyes: "After the death of the Jiang Mansion and before the Jun Tao case, there was no crime for more than three months, what were you planning to do at that time?" ”

Zhao Pingyang's rough fingers tightened the hemp rope, and the unconscious county lord of Rong'an would disappear with a little force, he raised his head, his eyes were dark and gloomy, "I met those two beasts in the miscellaneous place of the Qinglou, and I wanted to do it when there was no one, but who thought that they would bring their hands down, but they were beaten badly." The free hand slowly stroked down from the knee, and the leg was lame. ”

Before coming, Lu Anran never thought that he could hear such an earth-shattering truth, but he always felt that there was a shadow lingering in the blue sky.

Jun Tao's death was due to her close relationship with Gu Chengfeng, Li He deserved death in Zhao Pingyang's mouth, and that old woman made Zhao Pingyang let out a shallow sigh after maintaining indifference for more than an hour.

"At first, I thought she was Li He's subordinate, and it was only after killing her that I found out that it was wrong." Zhao Pingyang grunted like a bubble in his throat, and said with a strange face: "If you die, you will die, and if you live, you will be a lackey of the rich and noble family." ”

Lu Anran was silent, Zhao Pingyang had gone through great hardships and read all the injustices of the world, his concept had completely changed, and he had long lost the self-esteem or compassion of ordinary people.

"Where's Uka?" Yunqi asked.

Zhao Pingyang thought for a while before he remembered, "Young disciple of Jixia Palace? He killed someone, shouldn't he die? ”

The conviction of murder should be convicted by the government, Yun Qi did not use it to argue with Zhao Pingyang, he said in a different way: "Wuka's life is miserable, I thought you would have empathy. ”

Zhao Pingyang said: "In this case, it is better to die early and be liberated early." ”

Yunqi tapped his finger on his forehead, and he actually had nothing to say.

"But that kid is kind of funny." Zhao Pingyang said expressionlessly: "He betrayed his friends, but he also sent him to death for his friends." ”

Through Zhao Pingyang's narration, Yunqi and Lu Anran learned that Wuka secretly left the room that night, because Zhao Pingyang handed him a fake message, saying that he could exonerate Xu Shao, and the murderer was another person who did not deal with Yin Pleiades.

This is undoubtedly the best news for Wuka, so that he doesn't have to be convicted for Yin Yu, and he doesn't have to bear the guilt of Xu Shaokai.

"This is the end of the story." Zhao Pingyang stood up from the ground, his armor was shaped like a steel knife, his momentum was majestic, his eyes were sharp, and there was a faint bloodthirsty evil, "There is no way in the world, and evil should be changed by evil." ”
