The big rivers and lakes that attack

Chapter 782 Mei Fengjuan's Confession
The day after the Chaofeng Gang was wiped out, that is, the tenth day of the seventh lunar month, "Zhongdu Daily" carried out a detailed follow-up report on the incident.

According to reports, thousands of people from the Chaofeng gang were collectively beheaded overnight and discarded in Longxing Street, Xuanwu Road. In a certain house, the gang leader Xin Wulang was even dismembered on the spot. The scene was once very horrifying It is reported that the Department of Public Security has been involved in the investigation.

The reporter had the honor to interview Chen Mingjue, the criminal arrester of the Department of Public Security. Chen Dahun said that this was a major case, and it was the first time he had seen such a bloody and cruel incident. The gangsters were brought to justice...

As for who this gang of murderers is, do you still have to ask?
However, "Zhongdu Daily" didn't mention anything about Black Boxing, Spaceship and other gangs sharing the handicap of Chaofeng Gang, and hundreds of "Blood Cicadas" being killed on the spot.

With the publication of the newspaper, this incident caused great panic in the capital, and it can be said that it has reached the point where everyone is in danger.

Even in the "Zhongdu Daily" report, the reporter added this passage:

"I used to think that 'Blood Cicada' was just an organization of killers. They would kill whoever gave the money. They would only target individuals, and there would be no large-scale massacres. However, judging from the Chaofeng Gang incident, we may have underestimated this organization. .”

"It is reported that in the past, the Chaofeng Gang and the 'Blood Cicada' did not have any grudges, but because the 'Blood Cicada' failed to assassinate a certain Chaofeng Gang helmsman, resulting in the death of a killer, the Chaofeng Gang ushered in madness and blood. revenge."

"Then, can I think that, in the future, whenever the 'Blood Cicada' fails to assassinate someone, then the family or power that this person belongs to will usher in the same revenge?"

"In my opinion, today's 'Blood Cicada' is no longer just a killer organization targeting a certain person. They are a group of outright butchers who practice terrorist egoism. Their hands are stained with the blood of innocent people. They slaughter For pleasure."

"Perhaps in the future, their butcher's knife will fall on us. As a member of the ordinary people of the Central Capital, I feel very disappointed in the indulgence and inaction of the Secretary of Public Security against the 'Blood Cicada' for many years..."

Of course, these are all in vernacular, for the convenience of everyone to understand. If they are translated into ancient Chinese, it will be "foolishly thought...", forget it, I am tired, so I will not translate it.

As the incident continued to brew and ferment, people became more and more afraid of the "blood cicada", and many children of noble families were afraid to go out.

People in the entire Zhongdu City began to be cautious, and they were always on the alert when they walked on the street, for fear that if they were not careful, a group of people wearing weird masks would jump out and hack themselves to death in the street.

The families of noble surnames on Baihu Street even organized manpower to guard against death, and put pressure on the Secretary of Public Security to eradicate "Blood Cicada" as soon as possible.

Yuze Haizi's gladiatorial arena, the entertainment arena, gradually began to close and cease business. Afterwards, other places also closed. Many people lived in dire straits, and left Zhongdu with their families to seek a living elsewhere.

Just because they were afraid that "Blood Cicada" would go crazy and kill people indiscriminately.

During this period, the major bookstores in Zhongdu City of Mei’s Book Company were still open, and occasionally some sneaky people came here to buy a copy, or a few copies of "Zhongdu Daily" to go back to learn about the latest developments.

The entire Zhongdu City seemed to have lost all its previous vitality.

On July [-]th, when people sold the newspapers back, they were surprised to find that "Bai Xiaosheng"'s "Legend of the Condor Heroes" was no longer serialized on the front page.

It was a "Report to Readers" written by editor-in-chief Mei Fengjuan.

"Unfortunately, I want to tell you a piece of news. Last night, I was assassinated by 'Blood Cicada'..."

After reading this first sentence, readers and friends were instantly startled. "Blood Cicada" is so insane?Even the harmless, kind, dedicated sister Mei will not be spared?
"Zhongdu Daily" only reported the case truthfully, as for that?Besides, sister Mei didn't write that article, why would they do this?

The fans instantly felt distressed, fearful, and worried about Sister Mei's safety, and then continued to read.

"Thanks to my lover who sacrificed his life to save me, I was able to stay safe. However, Chang Ming was seriously injured because of this assassination. He is still being rescued. I... feel like a knife is twisting my heart."

"And this is just a warning, 'Blood Cicada' warned me and Zhongdu Daily, they want me to shut up, or I will die, not only I will die, but my family and my lover , will die."

"But will I shut up? I won't! I have never been a cowardly person. My friend 'Bai Xiaosheng' told me that a literati should have backbone."

"When he was wandering in the Northwest, he had the honor to visit Mr. Li Haoran, the head of the famous decent sect. 'Bai Xiaosheng' asked him, there are many people in this world who are like dogs, and your chivalrous spirit will make you many enemies. "

"Many of these enemies will be stronger than you. You may die a miserable death. Your disciples and disciples will also be dragged down by you. Aren't you afraid?"

"Li Haoran said, I am not afraid, because the world needs a beam of light, the light that illuminates the vicissitudes of life, the light that polishes people's eyes, the light that distinguishes right from wrong, and the spirit of chivalry is this light."

"Even if I die and the decent sect is destroyed, this light can continue to be passed on, because of the 'fragrance of chivalrous bones', because my name is Li Dao, the righteous way, the word Haoran, the righteous Haoran."

"'Bai Xiaosheng' told me that the integrity of a literati lies in the righteousness and arrogance hidden in the chest, and the integrity of a warrior lies in the indomitable chivalry."

"What I want to tell you now is that "Zhongdu Daily" is also a ray of light, reporting the truth, defying power, and seeking the light of truth."

"As a literati, I have my own pride. Why do I have any reason to back down now? Faced with the terrifying threat of 'Blood Cicada', why should I be afraid? Why should I shut up?"

"Even if I die, even if my family and lover are all dead, at least this light will be passed on. It represents the truth, the truth."

"The most precious thing for a person is life, and everyone has only one life. A person's life should be spent in this way. When he looks back on the past, he will not regret for wasting his years, nor be ashamed of doing nothing."

"In this way, at the moment of death, he can say: 'My whole life and all my energy are dedicated to the most magnificent dream in the world!"

"'Blood Cicada' is not scary, because I have nothing to fear, and I hope everyone has nothing to fear... Above, newsman Mei Fengjuan, tell readers."

If this article is translated into ancient Chinese, "..." is probably like this.
