Chapter 26: Zhao Jinhai

During this one-and-a-half-day trip, the two of us talked a lot, and the one that made me most curious was the person he and Liu Jiuri had talked about before. During the conversation, I knew that this person's name was Zhao Jinhai, and he was about the same age as them, both of them were about thirty years old. Born in an ordinary family on the Eastern Holy Islands.

He has studied martial arts since he was a child, and by the time he was fifteen years old, he could be regarded as a figure with a head and a face in the Eastern Holy Islands. The most people call him a prodigy, because no one can win the Iron Horse-level martial jade at the age of fifteen, and he is the first one in the Eastern Holy Islands since ancient times.

A moon-looking silver spear in his hand can be said to be perfect and superb. This gun was given by the Red Dragon Dao Commander of the Eastern Holy Islands, and this Red Dragon Dao Leader also personally passed on his set of dragon descending marksmanship, which made it difficult for him to meet opponents among people of the same level. Speaking of which, this Red Dragon Dao Elder is really fraternal, not only taught me my father's internal strength and mental method, but also transferred such valuable marksmanship and weapons to others, if the Red Dragon Dao Elder is alive, I really want to visit him, if nothing else, I just want to see if he has anything to pass on to me.

Therefore, this Zhao Jinhai can be regarded as a disciple of the Eastern Sage Quanzhen Sect. Such a lucky prodigy boy, after entering the martial arts hall, was assigned to the island of exile to serve as the warden of the island. During his tenure, he also made several friends who were doing business on the Isle of Exile. After these people got acquainted with him, they asked him to join the shares and work together. At the beginning, Zhao Jinhai's business was still smooth, making him make a lot of money. Once a person turns from poor to rich, he will develop an extremely exaggerated pride and an attitude of indifference to everything. And it is precisely because of this attitude that he has tasted the most unpalatable bitter fruit in the world.

Just when he was proud of his officialdom, love, and business, a sudden change made his life change 360 degrees, but it really plummeted and fell to the bottom. Before this, Liu Jiuri and Liu Erlang had advised him many times, telling him to keep a low profile and be careful of errands, but he just didn't listen.

He never imagined that these so-called friends who had pulled him into the stake were actually using him, and they were only in contact with him for better access to the Isle of Exile. Their business was for the island's prisoners, who could sell anything as long as it wasn't too out of line, and the prisoners fed the opportunistic merchants with the money they had given them and the money they earned from their own labor.

These people had secretly plotted this great conspiracy by letting him take shares, and later designed him to marry a woman they had carefully chosen. The woman was acting on the spot, but Zhao Jinhai loved this woman with all his might.

Finally, when the time was ripe in the eyes of those people, this woman quarreled with Zhao Jinhai because of a trivial matter, filed for divorce from him, and divided half of his property. This is not the main thing, but on the second day of the divorce, he met this woman and another man very intimately appeared in front of his eyes, which caused a lingering scar in his heart.

While he was dying, there was a riot of great scale in the prison of the Isle of Exile, and the prisoners were in possession of weapons that he and his so-called partners had peddled to them. As a direct consequence of this uprising, nearly 500 people were killed and wounded on the island of exile, and as many as 1,000 prisoners escaped. The reason why these people would plot such a large-scale riot is only because their eldest brother is serving his sentence here, and their eldest brother was arrested for wanton robbery and murder, and was finally sentenced to be beheaded.

Commanding Shi Ste ordered the Secret Service Division to investigate the matter strictly, and finally investigated Zhao Jinhai's actions clearly. Fortunately, Zhao Jinhai's admission of guilt and voluntary surrender were very prominent, so he gave a lot of benefits in sentencing, and finally only sentenced him to seven years in prison, confiscated all his property, and Wudetang was not allowed to be hired within four generations of his descendants and grandchildren, and the place of imprisonment was the island of exile. Such a brilliant man committed such a sin because he was confused and clever.

When his family learned about him, they were in a hurry, and the old couple returned to the world within a day. It was these things that made Zhao Jinhai slump from then on, and during the time he was serving his sentence, Liu Jiuri and Liu Erlang visited him many times, and dragged his relationship around to make it convenient for him to be in prison. For the sake of the two of them, the newly appointed warden found him a psychiatrist to treat his psychological scars. It took almost four years for Zhao Jinhai to come out of this gloomy experience, but his personality has changed a lot. The slump has not improved, but it is not much sluggish, but the whole person's state is negative.

After being released from prison, Zhao Jinhai had nowhere to go, so he became a free-spirited beggar on the island of exile. And the only thing he retained about the previous experience was the moon-gazing silver spear that he never threw away for a moment. Liu Jiuri and Liu Erlang learned the news of his release from prison, and personally came to pick him up, asking him to go to Hecheng to live with them. But Zhao Jinhai rejected the kindness of the two of them again and again, and never had the idea of leaving the island of expulsion. On the contrary, every time Liu Jiuri or Liu Erlang came to visit him, he always said something negative, depressed, and depressed to them, which made them very sad.

Zhao Jinhai always said a few words on his lips: "I made it all by myself now, and I don't deserve your pity on me like this." I only hate the people in this world for their ill-intentioned intentions, and they don't see their sincerity under the human face. I also hate me, thinking too much about this world and being too beautiful, and I didn't expect such a gloomy scene at all. Especially because my parents died because of me, I was already extremely unfilial, so that their two elders were humiliated, and they had no face to meet the ancestors of my Zhao family. For my previous wife, I used all my sincerity in exchange for a naked conspiracy. Now I don't believe in love anymore, I only believe in the eerie darkness. Only the infinite darkness will make me feel a little comforted, and I will feel a sense of peace in the darkness. ”

But fortunately, every time the two of them went to see him, they would bring him some money. It's just that he never asked for it in vain, because he is a free-spirited beggar now, so he will know more things than others. Don't look at the island of exile as a place where prisoners are held, most of the things that can be said from the mouths of these prisoners are useful news for Wu Detang's case. So Zhao Jinhai would tell them a piece of information related to the case they were handling every time, and then take the equivalent amount of money. That's why Liu Erlang said that it would be very easy for the two of us to investigate the matter of the ghost elder.

In the process of listening to Liu Erlang's account of Zhao Jinhai's life experience, I always had a question, and in the middle of his pause, I asked: "Doesn't Zhao Jinhai have any intention of repenting after he is released from prison? Does he not want to use his own ability to do something to change his current state? Does he want to live this life with the reputation of a criminal for the rest of his life?"

After three questions in a row, Liu Erlang's eyes were also full of sadness: "I also asked him these questions, but the answers I got were really unimaginable." ”

Zhao Jinhai once replied: "I have committed so many crimes, although I have been punished, but what has happened cannot be reversed." I have nothing to be dissatisfied with, and the only thing I can do now is to atone for my sins to the best of my ability. I don't want to atone for this sin, I just want him to have the face to see my father and mother who should have enjoyed his old age when his soul returns to Huangquan. I am now a beggar so that I can better atone for my sins, and when I see poor people like me, I will try my best to help them, so that they can fill their stomachs first, and then I will think of other ways to take care of my own stomachs. If I encounter someone who has been wrongfully imprisoned, I will give advice to their loved ones so that they can redress their grievances. I'm very good at gathering information, so I'll try to collect as much information as I can and what I don't need, so that I can tell you people from Wudetang more quickly in the future. I never inquire about Wudetang, for fear that the Demon Wheel Sect or other ill-intentioned people will deceive me and get information about Wudetang, and cause unnecessary trouble to Wudetang. I thought that what I had done would atone for some of my sins. ”

"Isn't that great, why should you say that he is sluggish and sluggish?" I continued.

Liu Erlang sighed: "This person is interesting to be here, when he treats people, he is indeed very sunny and enthusiastic, but when he has his own problems, he will immediately become like that." A life of death, depressed attitude. Talking to him, you can only feel that this person is simply lost to the extreme, and he has a fight with a depressed person. But when I see him doing other things, it's different, so I can't do anything with you Brother Liu against him. ”

"Then what happened to my father, will he know? Who framed him, for what purpose, why did he do this, can he tell me?" Thinking of this, I asked Liu Erlang tentatively.

Liu Erlang looked at the scenery outside the window and replied slowly: "You can ask, but I always feel that it is unlikely, if he had known the news a long time ago, he would definitely do everything possible to send this news to Wudetang, and he would not let this happen." Of course, even if it did, it wouldn't get worse that way. ”

That being said, it's better to have hope than no hope, and I made a decision in my mind. When you see this Zhao Jinhai senior, you must ask him a good question. Now that the two of us are on the train, and they haven't seen each other in a while, who can be sure that nothing can be asked from his mouth!
