Chapter 123: An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth
On the post, after Qiu Wuping reposted Chen Jiu's words full of death, Mo Zizai was silent for a moment.
He could understand that Chen Jiu betrayed his brothers for his family, and that Chen Jiu gave up his family again for his loyalty, but understanding did not mean that he could accept it.
He could understand it entirely because of his strong understanding ability, but in his opinion, Chen Jiu's operation was simply mentally retarded.
First, because my family abandoned loyalty and brothers, but now because of my loyalty and guilt, I have abandoned my family. You have gone back and forth and left everything alone. What are you trying to do?
Is it just to send all my relatives and friends away?
"Their feelings are pity, and their crimes are unforgivable."
Mo Zizai said this sentence in a complicated tone, and the consequences of this tragic result were largely due to Chen Jiu's indecisiveness. After experiencing all this, Chen Jiu has become decisive, but it is too late.
Zhou Qi, who was standing by, looked very ugly. He didn't know what to say. Chen Jiu betrayed was a fact, but the main reason was that in the past few years since Yuzhiji was suppressed, he had insufficient protection for his subordinates, otherwise this would not have happened.
"Prince, I can't blame this."
"What does it have to do with you?"
Mo Zizai waved his hand. He knew that Zhou Qi was a little guilty and thought that he was not a good leader, but he couldn't blame him for this.
Yuzhishi was not established for many years, and the strongest one was Zhou Qi, a martial artist in the Youzhao Realm. The reason why Yuzhishi was able to unscrupulously arrest the officials of the court that made all the officials in a row was entirely due to the power of the late emperor.
In short, what they feared was not Yuzhiji, but Mo Congyi behind Yuzhiji.
So after Mo Congyi passed away, most of the officials in the court immediately started to target Yuzhishi.
On the surface and in secret, various means emerged one after another, and even when it was at its worst, someone attacked and killed the personnel of Yuzhishi in the street.
Under that circumstances, not to mention that Zhou Qi people were in the imperial tomb, even if the capital was in the capital, it would be useless.
Therefore, Zhou Qi, who was forced to helplessly, ordered to disperse Yuzhishi directly, so that they could go from open to dark, so that they could not be targeted, and only then could they barely save two thousand Yuzhishiguards.
Therefore, this situation cannot be blamed for Zhou Qi at all. If you want to blame, you can only blame the adult behind Hu Wei.
Thinking of this, Mo Zizai's expression became very cold, and he said murderously: "I want to know who the adult behind Hu Wei is."
"It's really cruel to threaten others with the lives of the whole family. I want to see what choice he would make if someone threatened him with his whole family."
Because of the memories of his previous life, Mo Zizai has become much more civilized now. For example, he rarely does implicated things now. Even the few people who searched his house before were only killed and then exiled to his family.
But now he especially wants to kill the adult's family and let him know what it means to have an eye for an eye for an eye for a tooth.
...
In Zheng Anmin's yard, Chen Jiu bowed to Zheng Anmin and said, "Mr. Zheng, Chen Jiu has no intention of living, but Chen Jiu dared not hide who the person who was secretly targeting me, Yuzhishi."
"Behind me, the person who threatens me with my whole family's lives is the current Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, Hu Xiaosheng."
When talking about Hu Xiaosheng, Chen Jiu's eyes showed a hint of hatred, but it soon disappeared because he knew that it was unrealistic to take revenge on a third-class who was in charge of practical matters as he knew.
"I hope Master Zheng can tell the identity of the Master of the Secretariat to be careful of this person."
“Wait a minute…”
When Zheng Anmin heard the name of the person Chen Jiu said, he couldn't help but be stunned, "Who did you just talk about?"
"The Left Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, Hu Xiaosheng."
When Chen Jiu saw Zheng Anmin's expression, he thought Zheng Anmin didn't believe in him. After repeating it, he said: "The person who often meets us is the Priest of the Yuanwailang. He said that behind him is Hu Xiaosheng, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue. I checked it for a long time and confirmed that he was telling the truth. The person behind him is indeed Hu Xiaosheng, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue."
"If Lord Zheng doesn't believe it, he can break the beam of my old house. I have evidence in it."
It was confirmed that the Hu Xiaosheng that Chen Jiu mentioned was the Hu Xiaosheng he knew. Zheng Anmin couldn't help but feel a little strange. Their ordinary imperial guards were blocked and they didn't know anything, but this did not mean that he, the commander Tongzhi, knew nothing.
"No need, your evidence is no longer available, so let's keep the beam at your home."
After hearing what Zheng Anmin said, Chen Jiu understood what Zheng Anmin meant wrongly, his eyes were slightly dim, but he didn't say anything, "I understand, I understand."
Looking at Chen Jiu's expression, Zheng An knew that he had misunderstood and explained: "You are thinking too much. The reason why I say that your evidence is not useful is because Hu Xiaosheng has been killed by the Master of the Secretariat."
"I have been dead for several days. Now, I guess the grave grass has grown."
"Die...dead?"
Chen Jiu's eyes, originally Gu Jing Wubo's eyes, suddenly magnified his pupils and looked at Zheng Anmin in shock after hearing the news.
As for the other person who survived the trio, he was also stunned after hearing the news, "What's the situation? Is the 'adult' gone?"
"Zheng...Zheng Tongzhi, are you saying true?"
This man is now beginning to doubt life. He looks at Zheng Anmin with a little collapsed look, his heart full of expectations, and wants to hear Zheng Anmin tell him that it is fake.
"It's true."
Zheng Anmin controlled his actions to shrugged and said lightly: "Hu Xiaosheng gave the minister too little gifts. The minister was angry and killed him with his own hands, and also raided his family, and copied out a total of more than 10 million taels of silver."
"If the money you didn't copy out, the Master of the Ministry will not have the money to increase the monthly offer for you."
"This...how is this possible."
The man looked at Zheng Anmin without any sign of lying and was instantly defeated by his psychological defense. If Hu Xiaosheng was dead, what were they doing here today?
"No, no, no, no, no, you must be lying to me. How could a third-rank official be killed so casually? You must be lying to me... You must be lying to me..."
Unlike the man who was on the verge of collapse, Chen Jiu quickly accepted this fact after a brief doubt, because Zheng Anmin now had no need to lie to him.
"I didn't expect that he would die in front of me."
Chen Jiu's heart is mixed now. He thought he would never be able to take revenge, but he died in front of him, and was killed by the current Sima Master of Yuzhi.
I wonder if this is considered cause and effect.
