Volume 2 The Tiger Returns to the Mountains Chapter 156 The great man of chivalry cares about the world
When Lu Deyun saw Bian Yufei's appearance, he believed Li Yichen's words in his heart. He did know those eight evil slaves, and those eight people were the sons of Lord Sun, the envoy of the Lin'an Festival! That grandson had no other reputation, but his fame was known all over the city. From the widow and young woman to the yellow flower girl who has not yet left the cabinet, as long as she is favored by this grandson, no one will be spared! Lu Deyun may not believe that others are abducting people on the street, but if you want to say that he sent evil slaves to abduct Lu Deyun on the street, it is 10,000 to believe it! Not to mention such a beautiful woman, how could this grandson miss it?
Li Zhichen took in Lu Deyun's expression, and Lu Deyun's disrespectful behavior made Li Yichen nod secretly in his heart, just thinking that Lu Deyun would not be a dirty and dirty villain for such a gentleman. But what made Li Yichen wonder was why Lu Deyun lowered his head with a guilty face, could it be true that he guessed correctly?
"Lu Deyun, could it be that you are really related to these people?" Li Yichen asked in a cold voice.
Lu Deyun shook his head bitterly, and said helplessly: "Li Yichen, although I can't become a big climate, I won't do this kind of thing that violates my conscience! I really don't know what these people have done, but when I heard that there seemed to be a conflict here, I came to take a look, but I didn't expect to see at first glance that you were going to kill someone, so I took action to stop it." I don't like you to say that although I have no contact with them, I know them. These people are all slaves of Lord Sun's family, and Lord Sun is a festival envoy sent by the imperial court, even if the city lord has to give him three points of thin noodles, these people rely on someone to support them, they are arrogant and domineering on weekdays, and they do all kinds of evil and do everything they can! As the head catcher of Lin'an City, I know who the prisoner is, but I dare not come to the door to arrest people, I have always looked down on myself in my heart, what is the difference between this and those who bully the weak and are afraid of the hard?"
Chu Yunfeng couldn't hold back the anger in his heart anymore after hearing Lu Deyun's words, he yelled at Lu Deyun angrily: "So you also know! Just your little dog dare to only catch a thief like us who has no background and no backing, and you are like a dog with a little background, let alone arresting people, you don't even dare to breathe! You even want to die with me just now?! I'm not like you who bully the soft and fear the hard, I can't steal empty things, and I only steal from the rich!" In their eyes, those priceless treasures are just capital to show off to people, and to put it bluntly, they just want to exchange treasures for face! But do you know how many poor people who can't eat can be saved by that treasure? 362 households! I sold a fist-sized stone sculpture for 2,300 taels of silver! I gave them all the silver I sold, 6 taels of silver for each household, is it much? In the eyes of that grandson, I am afraid that six taels of silver is not even a fraction of the time to drink a meal of flower wine, but this mere six taels of silver can save the lives of a family! Do you know all this? You don't know! You only know how to catch thieves, and you only think about how to get promoted! Have you ever thought about the poor people in this world who have no food and no clothes?"
Chu Yunfeng seemed to want to vent all the anger that had accumulated in his heart for many years, and even Li Yichen was shocked by Chu Yunfeng's words, which Chu Yunfeng had never said to Li Yichen. Li Yichen was also curious about Chu Yunfeng was a famous thief in the rivers and lakes, why was he so poor? Chu Yunfeng was also a lover of wine, he stole a treasure for thousands of taels of silver, but every time he only drank the wine that Li Yichen bought, and he never paid money to buy wine, for which Li Yichen also laughed at Chu Yunfeng's iron rooster many times. Chu Yunfeng's ridicule of Li Yichen was just an awkward smile, and he continued to go his own way.
However, Li Zhichen now finally knows why Chu Yunfeng is so poor, and he has exchanged all the stolen treasures for silver taels and scattered them to the refugees, while he has not left a penny! What kind of chivalrous heart is this? Although Li Zhichen does not regard yellow and white things as dung, he also does not value such things as gold and silver, but if he is allowed to scatter all his silver to the poor, Li Yichen asks himself if he can't do it! It is not that Li Yichen is cold by nature, he used to be a beggar, and he naturally understands the hardships of the poor to live in this world. But he also knew that he helped one or two, but he couldn't help thousands of poor people, and his efforts alone were just a drop in the bucket. Even if he gives money to the poor, there will always be a day when the money is spent, and what happens after it is spent? The poor are still poor, and nothing can be changed!
But Chu Yunfeng is different, he knows that he can't save the poor people in the world, but he has the mentality that he can save one person is one person, how much selfless dedication has he made?
In the past few years since Chu Yunfeng entered the rivers and lakes, no one knows how many families he has stolen, no one knows how many taels of silver he has stolen, and no one knows how many poor people's lives he has saved! But Li Yichen knows that every time he steals, he dances on the tip of the knife and licks the blood on the edge of the knife.
Li Yichen patted Chu Yunfeng on the shoulder, Chu Yunfeng didn't speak, just turned his head and smiled at Li Zhichen, how bitter and sweet was that smile?
"Brother, well, that's enough. From now on, I, Li Yichen, recognize you as a brother!" Li Yichen's eyes looked at Chu Yunfeng's eyes resolutely.
Chu Yunfeng was stunned for a moment, then nodded heavily, he felt respect in Li Yichen's eyes, it was a kind of respect that was recognized!
Chu Yunfeng's words were like a sharp sword, stabbing into Lu Deyun's heart. He hated, hated his own incompetence and cowardice, but he had no choice! His father's last wish was to let him become a god hunter, and Lu Deyun had been working hard for his father's last wish! For this reason, he did not hesitate to sacrifice everything, his dignity, conscience, and even his life!
He can't be as happy as the people in the rivers and lakes, he has his own ideals, and he can't ruin his future because of a momentary impulse! For this reason, he has violated his conscience countless times! Gradually, he has become a deaf and blind man, unable to see the bullying of this Lin'an City, and cannot hear the grievances of this Lin'an City. All he could see was what he wanted to see.
After a long time, Lu Deyun let out a long sigh, he smiled self-deprecatingly, and said, "You're right, I may be a coward, just a coward, a beast like a dog." I can't care about the world, my heart is too small, I can't fit anyone but myself, let alone the world! I'm not as good as you, I hope you can save more people, Lu Deyun will take a step forward and say goodbye!" Lu Deyun turned around and walked towards the alley behind him as soon as he finished speaking, and after walking a few steps, Lu Deyun suddenly stopped, he turned his back to Li Yichen and Chu Yunfeng and said: " The eight people you killed are Sun Gongzi's people, this Sun Gongzi's very small belly has always been flawed and will be rewarded, he will definitely take revenge on you for your bad deeds, be careful, take care!"
After Lu Deyun finished speaking, he walked away, and disappeared not long after.
Looking at Lu Deyun's bleak back, Li Yichen said lightly: "It's a pity." Then he stopped talking.
Li Yichen turned around and walked towards Bian Yufei with a smile, he wanted to recognize Bian Yufei cordially, but the middle-aged couple and Bian Yufei were so frightened that they hugged Li Yuchen and hid in the corner shivering when they saw Li Yuchen turn around!
In Bian Yufei's eyes, Li Yichen only saw fear, not cordiality and familiarity.
"Sister Yufei, what's wrong with you? It's me! I'm Li Yichen! Don't you know me?" Li Yichen shouted loudly.
Bian Yufei shook her head in fear, but she didn't dare to say anything, for fear that the murderous demon in front of her would cut off her head with a sword!
Now it was Li Yuchen's turn to wonder, how could Bian Yufei not know him? Even if there has been no change in a few years, he should remember his name when he mentions it! But the dazedness he saw in Bian Yufei's eyes was definitely not pretended, and the woman in front of him really didn't know him! Moreover, how could Bian Yufei come to Lin'an to sell tofu? It doesn't make sense at all!
Li Yichen frowned and asked, "Tell me honestly what your name is?"
"I... My name is Rui. Mai Girl said tremblingly.
