Chapter 52: The Scholar Who Killed Him
Song Shanyue, a scholar who killed him, was also a tragic figure, and his father Song Mingren was a well-known cloth merchant in Suzhou.
Song Shanyue was smart and clever since he was a child, he was literate at the age of 3, wrote poetry at the age of 5, and could write articles at the age of 8. Song Mingren invited famous teachers for his son, and all the famous people in Suzhou City visited all the famous teachers, and finally worshiped Lu Jingchun, the then governor of Suzhou, as his teacher.
Lu Jingchun was very fond of Song Shanyue, not only did he teach all his life's learning, but also gave his baby only daughter Lu Mingyue to Song Shanyue as his wife. At one time, Song Shanyue felt that his life was perfect. However, there are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, and people have good and bad luck. Lu Jingchun was very disgusted by Jinyiwei's arrogant style, he wrote to the Great Zhou Emperor more than once that Jinyiwei's family was the only one to bully and conceal the domineering dictatorship, and also contacted some ministers to often play the Great Zhou Emperor, saying that the authority of Jinyiwei should be limited. Because of this incident, Jin Yiwei offended Sun Lieyang, the commander of Jin Yiwei, personally ordered Lu Jingchun to be arrested for treason, and Sun Lieyang had Lu Jingchun tortured in prison. In the end, he was beaten to death in prison. If the person is dead, he made people forge the confession of the interrogation, and also pressed the fingerprint of the dead Lu Jingchun. The Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty was furious when he saw Lu Jingchun's confession, and ordered his nine clans to be punished and his family property was confiscated.
After receiving the order, Jinyiwei immediately took action, and killed Lu Mansion in the dead of night one night, and none of the 28 people up and down Lu Mansion were spared. They finally found that Lu Jingchun's only daughter was not in the house, and it turned out that she had married a wife at the beginning of the year. Jin Yiwei then killed the Song Mansion in Suzhou City, and all 34 members of the Song Mansion were killed that night. Song Shanyue escaped because he went out to visit friends. When he returned home the next day, he found that the whole family had fallen in blood, and his father, mother, beloved wife, and domestic servants were not alive, not even chickens and dogs. Song Shanyue didn't dare to stay at home too much, he burned down the Song Mansion and fled into the mountains alone.
Since that day, no one has seen Song Shanyue again. Until noon one day two years later, a young scholar swordsman came from outside the Yamen Gate of the Jinyiwei Headquarters in Suzhou City, dressed as a scholar, but with a long sword hanging from his waist. The scholar swordsman stood at the door of the yamen of the Jinyi Guard Headquarters with his head bowed, holding the hilt of the sword with his right hand, not moving as if he were a sculpture.
"What are you doing? Do you know where this is? It's okay to get out of here! Otherwise, the master will arrest you and go in!" shouted the brocade guard standing guard at the door. The scholar swordsman still had his head down, standing motionless at the gate. "I said you, boy, deaf in your earsβ" The brocade-clothed guard saw that the scholar swordsman did not speak, and as he spoke, he stepped forward to push him. But before he finished speaking, Jin Yiwei suddenly covered his neck with his hands, blood rushed out from his fingers, and then his body fell to the ground. The scholar swordsman didn't look at him from beginning to end, and as soon as he shook the blood beads on the sword, the scholar swordsman walked inside. The other doorman drew his knife and slashed, shouting, "Come on...", and before he could finish his words, he fell to the ground with a pain in his neck. In this way, the scholar swordsman single-handedly slashed into the headquarters of Jinyiwei in Suzhou City, and everyone with weapons in the headquarters of Jinyiwei was killed by him one by one, and at the end he left a message in the hall: Murderer Song Shanyue. And then walked away. Later, he had the nickname of the Deadly Scholar.
"Sister Susu, this life-killing scholar is so pitiful!
"It is said that Jinyiwei promised a heavy sum of 10,000 taels of silver for his head. Those who can provide accurate clues can also receive 1,000 taels of silver. The rivers and lakes are crazy, and many people are fighting the attention of the deadly scholars. Because he had only been practicing martial arts for two years, many people felt that they could easily kill the deadly scholars. Yin Susu said and stopped to take a sip of water, and gently flicked his hair curtain with his hand.
"Ahh Sister Susu, say it quickly, I'm in a hurry. What happened to that fateful scholar?" Murong Qiu urged, grabbing Yin Susu's arm with both hands and shaking it. Wang Yuan sat at the counter, holding a book in his hand, but his mind was not on the book at all, and he didn't even know if he took it backwards. He stretched his neck out, and he was also listening carefully to Yin Susu's story about the deadly scholar. Yin Susu glanced at Wang Yuan intentionally or unintentionally, and a smile unconsciously hung on the corner of his mouth.
"Okay, okay, I continued. Don't shake it, if you shake it again, it will fall apart. The scholar who killed him was reluctant to kill indiscriminately at first, and he subdued people each time before leaving. But one day, on a whim, he hid to the side, and he wanted to see if the people he had let go of would come to trouble him again. And guess what?"
"How's that? Could it be that the man went on to kill him?"
"That's it, he spared this person as a bandit, but he didn't expect this bandit to find more than a dozen accomplices, they searched everywhere and didn't find the deadly scholar, so they went directly to slaughter a mountain village. When the scholar arrived, the village was full of dead bodies, and there were basically no living people!"
"Sister Susu, what do you mean that there are basically no living people?
"Yes, yes, there are still a few young women left who have been brought into the house by these bandits!"
"What are you doing with them in the house, are they locked up?" Murong Qiu really asked.
"Why does the little girl know so much?" Yin Susu glared at Murong Qiu angrily and continued. The Scholar rushed into the house, and he killed all the bandits, one by one and with one sword. He spared the man, and again knelt before him and begged for mercy. But this time, the scholar no longer believed him, and a sword pierced his neck. The man's body fell to the ground after he died, and he was still clutching a poison needle in his hand. Originally, he had planned to take advantage of the unpreparedness of the scholar to give him a bit. I didn't expect that the scholar who killed him would kill him this time. After this incident, the book of death was ruthless, and everything that came to kill him was killed by him. Gradually, everyone knew how powerful the scholar was to kill him, and now no one dares to fight him. β
"Sister Susu, what kind of martial arts did the deadly scholar practice, so powerful. β
"According to those who have seen him shoot, the Scholar used the Scholar's Death Sword. I think it's probably his own swordsmanship. Yin Susu analyzed.
It seems that I am not the only one who is a genius, Wang Yuan! In this case, I will also step up, and my self-created sword technique must be perfected as soon as possible. This kind of world is interesting, and I must compete with him when I have the opportunity, to see if it is my sword qi that is powerful, or his scholar's life-killing sword.
