Family practice: all members of the villain

Chapter 171 Old events in Wuzong’s last years
Dayu calendar year 2985, Wuzong year 153

Zhaoyang County

The miserable moonlight seemed to cover the dark city wall with a layer of gauze.

The dozens of meters high cast iron city gate has collapsed. Just from the marks of slashes and axes on the city gate, it can be seen that this place must have experienced a cruel war.

Another glance inside and outside the city will be even more certain!

The sky was thick with smoke and the houses were in dilapidated condition.

The city was full of hungry people, and corpses were everywhere outside the city gate.

Some warriors with numb expressions and dressed in different styles were interspersed among them, searching for clothes and property from the corpses.

In some dark corners, bursts of maniacal laughter could be heard, as well as women's wails and screams...

It's like a miserable scene of turmoil, decay, and war.

"Stop me all!"

Under the eaves, three thieves were violently raping an ordinary girl. When they heard the screams, they immediately turned their heads and looked behind them.

He was a handsome young man, dressed in a white Confucian shirt, with a tall and straight figure, and his green hair was tied behind his head with a jade belt. Even though he was angry at the moment, his expression was still very restrained, showing gentleness and elegance.

"Why, Mr. Hong, what are you doing?"

These three thieves obviously knew the young man. The moment they turned around and saw him, their expressions became very contemptuous, without any fear, and their tone was slightly teasing.

The changes in the expressions of the three of them naturally couldn't escape the eyes of the young man. He forcibly restrained his anger, took two deep breaths, and then said in a low voice: "Didn't the general say that you should not kill people wantonly after entering the city? Do you know that you are disobedient now?" military law?"

"military law?"

"Hahahahaha..."

The three thieves laughed loudly in the hall. The leader did not take into account the increasingly ugly look on the white-clothed scholar's face, and said with a sneer: "Hideo Hong, I call you sir for the sake of our general. You really think you are." What kind of big shot is he talking to us about military law? In this world, we brothers are the ones with no head in our belts. We live one day at a time. What kind of bullshit is military law? Get out of here, get out of here..."

The suppressed anger on Hong Xiufu's face was almost uncontrollable, but after standing there and thinking for a long time, he still suppressed his anger and turned around to leave.

He is a Confucian scholar who can clearly discern the three realms, which is equivalent to the martial arts Gangqi realm. These thieves and bandits who have opened the body realm in front of him dare to humiliate him like this, so they must have something to rely on.

Zhaoyang is currently occupied by the rebels. He has initially stabilized the rebel leader through deception and coercion. Attacking these people now will only lead to greater revenge from the rebels, so he has to endure it for the sake of the people who are still alive.

These people were obviously convinced of him and were so unscrupulous.

Before Ben Hideo left, his eyes finally rested on the disheveled girl behind the three people. Although there was too much in his heart that he couldn't bear, he still suppressed it forcefully.

He hadn't gone far when he heard the girl's wailing behind him. Knowing that the three thieves were continuing to commit violence, he felt like a knife was in his heart. However, he didn't dare to turn back to save others, so he could only speed up his pace and left here.

"As long as we stabilize this group of rebels for another seven days, seven days is enough. As soon as the reinforcements from Shenting arrive, the people will be safe. Just be patient and patient..."

Hong Xiufu kept reminding himself in his mind that in order to stabilize the rebel army, he also went to the location of the county government.

Compared to other places in the city, the County Lord's Mansion, located in the center of the county, appears to be much quieter and more orderly.

The soldiers here are all wearing standard armor, and their auras are long and tall. Compared with those who loot corpses and property outside the city, they are obviously much better in terms of military appearance and military discipline.

However, when Beni Hideo passed by these soldiers, although his eyes were well concealed, he still showed a trace of indelible hatred. Fortunately, he always lowered his head, otherwise it would be easy for others to see through.

And these soldiers looked at Beni Hideo with obvious disdain and contempt, and even looked down upon him. It was said that they were only Kaishen realm warriors, and they should not show such eyes to a Confucian scholar.

Hong Xiufu walked around and quickly reached the lobby of the County Lord's Mansion. He did not walk in directly, but bowed down and saluted first.

"Hideo Beni, please see the general."

"The general is not here, Mr. Hong, please come back another day!"

Hong Xiufu frowned slightly, resisting the urge to ask, saying goodbye and turning around to leave, but before he could walk out, another voice came from behind.

"By the way, Mr. Hong, after all your hard work, why don't you go and see your sister?"

The other party's voice was obviously ridiculing, and Hong Xiufu's face immediately dropped. He was silent for a long time, then nodded and said: "Thanks for reminding me, I'll go over and see her right now!"

After he finished speaking, he bypassed the lobby directly, walked along the courtyard wall and the path inside the county residence, and walked to the backyard of the government office. He slowly approached the deepest room. His pace, which was already very slow, gradually increased. Approaching that room, it became slower and slower, and every step seemed to become extremely heavy. As heavy as the steps, there was also Hideo Kurenai's expression.

"Hehehe, this little girl is really good..."

"The general is willing to give us a taste of such a beauty!"

"Hahaha, we are not the only ones. This girl will be sent to be a camp prostitute soon. Then the other brothers will be able to give it a try..."

…………

Hearing the sound in the room, Beni Hideo's face was painful, his eyes were ferocious, his fists were clenched, and his nails had dug into his palms. Blood was seeping down from the tiger's mouth, which showed the humiliation and pain in his heart at this moment.

He did not rush in directly, but stood outside and waited obediently. Even though the sounds coming from inside were filthy, and even though he knew that it was his own sister who was being humiliated, he still stood outside.

When four rebel generals wearing armor came out, Beni Hideo had loosened his fists and his expression returned to normal. As if nothing had happened, he bypassed the four rebel generals and walked into the room.

The four rebel generals were obviously stronger than him. They looked at him with a contemptuous smile on his lips, and his expressions were full of ridicule. If Ben Hideo hadn't walked so fast, the four of them would have stopped him. A humiliation.

…………

On the floor of the room, a naked girl lay naked.

The girl's expression was dull, her eyes were blank as she stared at the roof, her hands covered with blood were firmly clasping the ground, her body was red and blue, and there were many wounds cut by knives, and the slap marks on her face were clearly visible. There was blood oozing from the corners of his mouth.

Just looking at this picture, it is not difficult to imagine how horrific the abuse the girl suffered was, I am afraid that normal people cannot even imagine it...

The voice of Beni Hideo walking in was very low, but the girl still heard it.

When she heard the voice, she just rolled her eyes slightly. Even when she saw Hideo Beni in white, her brother's eyes were still empty, without any expression. He just withdrew his eyes indifferently and stared directly at the roof.

It's like she didn't see anything...

When Hideo Beni entered the room, his expression had returned to calmness. Although he felt infinite guilt when he saw his sister's miserable condition, his expression did not change. He just quickly took the white clothes next to him, He helped his sister up and dressed her with his own hands.

The whole process of getting dressed was silent. Even though the girl was naked, there was no shyness on her face at all. She was like a doll, letting Hideo Kurenai put on her clothes. I don’t know that the injuries on her body were too serious and she lost consciousness. , or the psychological defense had been destroyed long ago, until she put on her clothes, her expression was still empty, and she just continued to look up at the sky.

Beni Hideo helped the girl lie down on the bed, and gently wiped her wounds with a towel. Perhaps it was because he couldn't bear the silent environment or the girl's empty eyes that he spoke first.

"Ling'er, please be patient a little longer. The reinforcements from the Divine Dynasty will arrive in seven days. You will be safe by then. Brother, I promise you that I will catch them all and execute them all to avenge you!"

After he finished speaking, he didn't get any response. Seeing that the girl's eyes were still empty, his expression darkened. The expression on his face wandered between calmness and guilt for a while, but he finally regained his calmness.

"I know you are blaming me for sending you to the rebels and subjecting you to these inhuman tortures, but you know my purpose, don't you?"

"My father has been killed, and there are still more than [-] people in the city. If I don't think of a way, the rebels will kill these people. Looking at the city, you and I are the only ones who still have some value. If I had no choice, how could I kill you?" Leave it to them."

"Ling'er's sacrifice today will never be forgotten by the more than [-] people in the city!"

Although the girl's expression remained unchanged, Hong Xiufu's expression became more calm as she continued to confide in her heart.

"The blame for your insult does lie with me, but I did it for the more than [-] people in the city, to inherit my father's legacy, and to be loyal to the gods."

"I have stabilized the rebels, and they have lowered their guard. As long as we wait seven days for the reinforcements from the Divine Dynasty to arrive, all these rebellious officials and traitors will be dead. By then, you will have taken revenge, and more than [-] people in the city will have been rescued."

"I know Ling'er blames me, but the current situation is like this, and brother has no choice but to do this!

I have a clear conscience towards the dynasty of Dayu, towards my master, towards the people of Zhaoyang, towards my deceased father, towards the sages of Confucianism and Taoism, towards heaven and earth! "

This last sentence was said to Hong Ling'er, rather, it was said to Hong Xiufu to himself. What he did was indeed for the more than [-] people in the city. This point, even if the master came in person Ask, and he can answer calmly.

Therefore, he can indeed do it with a clear conscience!
He covered Hong Linger's body with the quilt, stood up slowly, put away the unbearable look on his face, gradually replaced it with determination, turned and walked towards the door.

He knew what his sister would face next!
But in his opinion, all this is worth it for the sake of the people in the city...

But just as he walked out of the door.

Suddenly, my sister, who had been lying on the bed silently, spoke.

"Brother, are you... ashamed of me?"

Hong Xiufu's body was shaken, and his mind was full of the torture his sister suffered, as well as the empty expression and silent indifference he had just lying on the bed.

He has a clear conscience towards everyone.

But what about Hong Linger...

Does he feel guilty?
Beni Hideo didn't answer or look back, he just quickened his pace and left the room as if he was running away.

His speed was so fast that his figure staggered a little...

........................

The sky of Tongling County

Hong Xiufu woke up from his memories and looked at Hong Ling'er's face. The guilt and self-blame in his eyes were not concealed at all this time...

His face has begun to decay, and the aura of decay is constantly overflowing from all parts of his body. His whole person already looks miserable and exhausted.

But even so, there was no fear of death on his face, only self-blame and sadness, and deep guilt for Hong Ling'er.

More than 1000 years ago, Hong Linger's last question, he didn't dare to look back, just because he couldn't answer the question. He knew that he was worthy of everyone except his sister, so he escaped.

This kind of avoidance is actually a kind of doubt about Confucianism and Taoism. If you dare to answer him, if you answer, what the Master said about giving up the small for the big, giving up one's life for the righteous, and giving up the small family for everyone, it will become wrong...

He didn't even dare to look back, because he knew that as long as he saw Hong Ling'er's face, the answer in his heart would come out by himself, so he ran away.

But he never expected that Hong Ling'er would ask this question again when he was recognized by the sages, and he also thought that he could answer this question. Looking back was not only to face this question head-on, but also to make up for his more than 300 years. That escape before...

But he lost. Even after so many years, he still couldn't strengthen his belief. He always felt that he was sorry for his sister!

His dream of being a sub-saint was shattered...

But, I am willing to be broken!

When the Confucian and Taoist sages abandoned Ji Yanzhi and declared that his dream of becoming a sub-sage was broken, Hong Ling'er had already given up her disguise. Her white clothes turned to blood again, and the expression on her face returned to its previous madness and evil. Seeing Ji Yanzhi's vitality and blood declining, a smile of incomparable hatred appeared on his face.

"Ling'er, I can't believe that more than 300 years have passed and you can still remember this issue. My defeat was not unjust!"

Probably before he died, Ji Yanzhi felt relieved and admitted that he had lost.

"Hahahahaha..."

The red girl laughed wildly for a long time. The hatred in her eyes was not reduced by Ji Yanzhi's surrender. After laughing, she said coldly: "As early as four years ago, when you returned to Zhaoyang, you already lost. You If he had no guilt in his heart, how could he return to Zhaoyang, revise the county annals, and reclaim the land for justice?

You think that resurrecting me is to enable you to break through the sub-sage, but in fact, your subconscious is just to make up for your mistakes...

You did not lose to me, but to yourself, who has insisted on Confucianism and Taoism for more than 1000 years! "

Ji Yanzhi's body trembled, and what he had held on to for a long time in his heart suddenly began to collapse. An unprecedented fear suddenly enveloped his heart.

"Impossible, Master's words cannot be wrong. It's only me who is wrong. It's me who can't implement Master's way. I'm trying to save those more than [-] people. Even if you feel guilty, it's just my thoughts, not yours." Confucianism is wrong!"

"Then let me ask you, have those more than [-] people been saved?"

Ji Yanzhi's expression froze, and then a mouthful of blood surged up. He stopped breathing, and with a puff, blood spurted out a foot away, and his breath suddenly became weak...

"The Confucianism you practiced has harmed me and failed to save those people. It's ridiculous that you have persisted for more than 1000 years and still don't know how to repent!"

"You failed to break through the realm, but your fault will not be wiped out so easily. I have restored the third-level immortal status. Thousands of living beings will pay for your mistakes, Jiejie. Jie Jie Jie…”

The red girl's voice suddenly became extremely evil, making everyone present feel the hair stand on end and their hearts shuddering even more.
