Begging in late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 36 Killing in Troubled Times!
At night, the whole yard seemed dead silent, even the newly born spring worms seemed to be lazily singing, one after another, they were weak, and the conflict at dinner made everyone feel bad.

The door opened with a creak, and Song Qingshu tiptoed out of Caiwei's room, looked left and right for no one, and then slipped back to his room cautiously like a thief.

Don't think about it, he didn't do anything bad, after all, Caiwei is too young, and if he thinks badly, he will go to prison to work.

At the dinner table just now, Song Qingshu really wanted to get angry, but who knew Caiwei actually cried.

Although she was born in a scholarly family, after all, she has experienced the pain of breaking her family. Caiwei cherishes her current life very much. Just now when Hongniang Xing got angry, Caiwei thought she had said something wrong, so she burst into tears .

The little girl went back to the house sobbing, and she lost her temper by crying too. After eating and returning to the house, Song Qingshu sneaked into Xiao Nizi's house, coaxing and persuading her, and telling her if she was going to sell today or not. Caiwei coaxed all the sweets, which made the little girl burst into tears.

But after all, I have a wife and a concubine now, although I am annoyed by Hongniang Xing's attitude, but if she is too high-profile, it might add fuel to her hot temper, so when he left the house, Song Qingshu walked back on tiptoe, quietly When entering the village, don't shoot guns.

Xing Hongniang's room had already turned off the lights, and seeing Song Qingshu was about to sneak back into the room with light steps, who knew that at this time, a big paw covered with black hair suddenly fell on his shoulder from behind, and in an instant , Song Qingshu's face turned pale.

…………

"I said boss! People are scary, scary! Next time, can I say hello in advance?" Song Qingshu complained depressedly after hiding in his narrow room and pouring a glass of water for Scarface.

Who knew that Scarface was holding a water bowl, but he was humming lightly: "Don't do anything wrong, and don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door!"

This guy is definitely revenge for letting him wear a maid outfit as a guest waiter during the day. Seeing Xia Xueyi's calm and calm appearance, Song Qingshu really hated it.

"Okay, my Uncle Xia, in the middle of the night, lonely men and widowed men have a bad reputation, so if you have anything to say, tell me quickly!"

Song Qingshu asked impatiently, but Xia Xueyi's face suddenly became serious. He was guilty of a guilty conscience and looked around for no one, so he got close to Song Qingshu, lowered his voice and asked in a low voice: "Do you want me to get that bad guy Zhu Cunbiao?" Is the goods cleared?"

"Clear?" Song Qingshu didn't understand at first, but then Scarface put his hand on his neck and made a cutting movement. Song Qingshu trembled when he saw it. This is to kill someone!

After all, coming from a society under the rule of law, although Zhang Xianzhong didn't feel strange about killing people, Song Qingshu never thought about killing himself, even if he ordered Scarface to kill, seeing Scarface's murderous eyes, a layer of cold hair came from behind him. His back suddenly stood up.

Seeing that Song Qingshu didn't answer, Scarface continued to gesture.

"Zhu Cunbiao lives next to the depression near the southern city. The ruined temple you visited last time is a place where good and bad people are mixed, and people of various religions and high-ranking schools die. It's commonplace for everyone to die. The government doesn't go back and investigate."

Speaking of this, Xia Xueyi's scarred face had a strong sneer, and he snorted mockingly: "Then Zhu Cunbiao still regards the ruined temple as his imperial palace, and always compares himself to the emperor Taizu. Here, by the way, send his prime minister, senior scholar and eunuch to accompany him, fulfilling his dream of being an emperor!"

Emotional Scarface wanted to kill more than one person, but sent all the beggars near the ruined temple to see Lord Hades, that would be more than [-] lives!Kill if you say you want to kill?Seeing what he said so lightly, Song Qingshu felt chills in his heart again and again, shaking his head and refusing.

"No! You can't kill people!"

Scarface didn't try to persuade him much, but just said lightly: "You have to know, it is no longer the era of Taizu, Taizong's era of peace, and the world is in chaos. If you don't kill people, people will kill you!"

After finishing speaking, he put down the water glass, Scarface turned around again and was about to leave the house.

Song Qingshu was already in a cold sweat just now, but Xia Xueyi's last words made Song Qingshu's body tremble, and the suddenness made Song Qingshu's most fearful thing emerge.

yes!This is no longer the era of talking about the law!The strong are justified, murder is innocent!The social physique that once protected him, the weak, is no longer there. If you want to live well in this era, you have to make yourself brutal!
"and many more!"

"Changed your mind?" Still so expressionless, Xia Xueyi turned her head, but Song Qingshu, who was covered in cold sweat, still shook his head: "You can't kill people!"

He didn't stop there, Scarface turned around and was about to leave, but Song Qingshu hurriedly reached out and grabbed his tattered cotton coat, and said hastily: "Then if Zhu Cunbiao is an ordinary beggar, it's okay to kill him, but he is the royal family." Dear, don't think that no one cared about him when he was alive, Ruhuo's sudden death will definitely cause a big mess, especially at this juncture."

He was almost out of breath, seeing Scarface finally stopped, took a deep breath, and Song Qingshu continued: "I heard that Wei Zhongxian, who is nine thousand years old, has just been bestowed to death by the current emperor! I don't know how many eunuchs who follow him The members were uneasy, fearing the coming political purge. If there was a big case in the clan at this time, think about it, how many people would take the opportunity to make things big? Disturb the situation? At that time, they just had a meeting with Zhu Cunbiao If you and I are in conflict, I’m afraid it’s hard to fly!”

The so-called butterfly effect refers to the fact that an insignificant incident may cause huge consequences. For example, during the Spring and Autumn Period, a girl from the state of Wu injured the foot of a girl from the state of Chu, which led to a war at the national level for decades, which eventually led to It may not be a big deal to kill Zhu Cunbiao, a beggar with a scarred face, but if it triggers a chain reaction, it will be a catastrophe, and how many people may be implicated!
Listening to Song Qingshu's analysis, Scarface is also slightly moved. If he is himself, he can just take Caiwei away. Anyway, there is a lot of fat everywhere now. The imperial court's control over the place has declined, and he can hide wherever he wants. But now, it was hard for Caiwei to find a home, and he also noticed Song Qingshu's pampering to Caiwei just now, otherwise he would not have offered to kill people, and Xia Xueyi would not have ruined the feeling of Caiwei's family.

"Then what do you say?" Xia Xueyi simply threw the question back, and Song Qingshu, who was listening, put his hands behind his back again, and spun around in the small room. After a while, Song Qingshu suddenly frowned, and took two quick steps. Stepping around in front of Scarface again, he hurriedly asked: "What did you just say, Zhu Cunbiao compared a ruined temple to a royal palace? Repeat what you just said!"

Xia Xueyi who asked this question was taken aback for a moment, but she didn't think much about it, and said very disdainfully to Zhu Fengguo.

"This guy has no skills, but he has a lot of style. He has become a beggar, and he is still divided among beggars. The dilapidated temple he lives in is used as a residence and the internal office of beggars. How is it compared to Taizu, even when Lao Tzu was down and down there, he asked Lao Tzu to be his thug, and even said that Lao Tzu was made the commander of the five armies, heh, he really dared to say it!"

Speaking of this, Scarface sneered again with disdain, but Song Qingshu's eyes lit up when he heard it, and immediately revealed a strong ruthlessness.

Cutting off people's wealth is like killing their parents!Since you are not willing to give the old beggar a way out, don't blame the young master for thinking about you!With a sneer at the corner of his mouth, Song Qingshu grabbed Scarface suddenly, and muttered quickly in a low voice beside his ear. After mumbling for a moment, Scarface couldn't help showing a strange color on his face, and he nodded in surprise. Nodding, after glancing at Song Qingshu, he went out again without saying a word.

After dismissing Scarface, Song Qingshu rummaged through the pillow. After a while, he found a box of scattered coins. In the past, Liu Dazhuzi was in charge of money in the Xing family class, but after Liu Dazhuzi left the class, Song Qingshu proposed a new development direction for selling sweet potatoes, so Han Juaner, Xing Hongniang and the others habitually let him take care of the accounts, and the rest of the Xing family's class's food and expenses for almost half a year are all here.

The total amount was less than eight taels, Wuguan was mostly scattered copper coins, and there were still some silver taels. Song Qingshu picked out the two taels of silver that Zhang Xianzhong gave, and co-authored some of the previous broken silver. After looking at it for a long time, he just wrapped it in a rag On, kick into the bosom.

Pushing open the door, Song Qingshu carefully looked left and right, and walked quickly to the courtyard door. The kung fu learned these days was not in vain. After closing the small courtyard door, Song Qingshu ran with all his strength, and disappeared into the night in a flash.

In a street near the center of Xi'an, there are scattered low houses, which look rather dilapidated.

Today's weather is weird, and it's starting to be stuffy in April, so stuffy that some spring insects are silent. The people living around here are all civilians. They work all day, and at night they close the door early and get a big head. In such a quiet night, I stopped to listen, but I heard a faint sound of hoo hoo, like the sound of metal rubbing, which made people panic.

Suddenly, there was a light knock on the door, the metal sound stopped abruptly, and there were even a few crisp crashing sounds. After a while, the door opened with a creak, but it was Zhang Xianzhong, who had a tiger face, in a panic. He poked his head out and shouted: "That donkey ball doesn't sleep at night, disturbing my dream?"

Facing the angry Zhang Xianzhong, Song Qingshu tilted his head slightly. A waist knife on the big bluestone in the yard exuded a cold light. Looking at the traces on the stone, it had been sharpened for a long time. Looking at this, Song Qingshu's mouth showed a strange smile.

Following his gaze, Zhang Xianzhong's tiger eyes burst out with a strong murderous intent, but immediately, Song Qingshu punched him fiercely: "Brother Zhang, can you take a step to speak?"

Looking at him suspiciously, Zhang Xianzhong moved away impatiently, but still muttered angrily: "Idiot with a sick head, tossing me in the middle of the night!"

As Song Qingshu stepped in, the door of Zhang Xianzhong's house was closed again, without a trace of light...
