Chapter 188 Inner Demon

…

After Shi Jian returned to the Demon-Conquering Hall, he entered the ancestral hall and saw Shi Shaojian kneeling on the futon with his head hanging crookedly. As he got closer, he could hear his snoring.

Seeing his appearance, Shi Jian's eyes flashed with disappointment, and he couldn't help but recall what he had done.

When everyone thought it was Shi Jian who was praising the Demon Fu Tang for eliminating a harm to the provincial capital, only Shi Jian himself knew that it was all false.

When he found out that Shi Shaojian was the flower picker, Shi Jian chose to cover up his son's crime and put Shi Shaojian in solitary confinement, but this was not enough to end the matter.

After several days of ideological struggle, he chose a scapegoat to end the flower thief case. No one knew who the flower thief was anyway, so as long as he killed the flower thief on the spot and handed it over to the commander, he would be able to

Hiding what Shi Shaojian did was just to satisfy the commander-in-chief.

The unlucky guy who was shot dead by Shi Jian was a homeless man Shi Jian found in the city, and no one cared about him even after he died.

A puppet curse was placed on him, and then he directed and acted in the play.

well…

Shi Jian sighed, and then prepared to exit the ancestral hall, but at this time Shi Shaojian was awakened by the sound of his sigh, and when he turned around and saw him, he was stunned.

"Dad...why are you here? Is there something wrong?"

Shi Shaojian looked at his father with an expression of surprise and uncertainty on his face, not knowing when he came over.

"It's okay, I'll come over and see you."

"Dad, I really know I was wrong!"

After hearing Shi Shaojian's words, Shi Jian, who was about to leave, paused and then stepped back, turned around and spoke to him meaningfully.

"The matter is over. The flower picker has been killed by me."

Shi Shaojian was shocked when he heard that he was still kneeling here. Who was the person shot to death by his father?

"Dad, this is..."

"Stop asking, remember, from today on, you are just my son, Shi Jian, not a flower picker!"

Shi Jian waved his hand to stop him, and then turned around and left Shi Shaojian, who was confused. But when he reacted, he realized that his father had solved for him what he had done before. As long as he would not do it again in the future,

Then the flower-picking thief thing is over, and he doesn't have to stay here anymore to think about it.

After figuring it out, Shi Shaojian was immediately overjoyed. He knew that his father could not bring himself to kill his relatives out of justice, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

…

"Give me back my life..."

"I'm so wronged..."

"The right way? Is this what you call the right way?"

"Brother Jian, take good care of your children!"

"He's still a kid!!!"

At night, it was dark outside. The lanterns hanging in the yard were swaying gently in the wind. The candlelight shone dimly into the house through the window paper. Shi Jian lay on the bed and closed his eyes, while his eyebrows were furrowed.

He was sweating profusely, as if he had dreamed of something, and several emotions were mixed together on his face.

In the dream, Shi Jian was also in a dark room, with only a beam of light above his head surrounding him. In the darkness beyond the light, the homeless man who was shot to death as a scapegoat, Shi Jian's master, and Li Mu's master, had a crush on Shi.

Jian's questioning, and the instructions given by his wife Hui Niang who died in childbirth.

The words they said wrapped around him like magic sounds, while Shi Jian sat cross-legged under the beam, trying hard to stick to his heart.

But as they attacked, the light surrounding him gradually became dim, and the area that could be illuminated also shrank.

"In order to protect your son, you used my life to replace the crimes he committed. Shi Jian, this is your right path!"

After the light beam dimmed and shrunk, a figure appeared in front of Shi Jian and said these words to him. The homeless man, the master, his wife, and his son, in one sentence, the figures kept emerging.

Showing the faces of these people is like being judged by these people.

Darkness continued to swallow up the territory of this light beam, and soon the light beam on Shi Jian's body became precarious, flickering on and off, like a light that was about to go out.

"I'm right, Shaojian is my son. I promised Hui Niang to take good care of him. As long as I take good care of him, I will definitely not make such mistakes again. You...don't even think about messing with my mind!"

Shi Jian suddenly opened his eyes, stared at the figure appearing in front of him with burning eyes, and shouted sternly.

boom!

The beam of light shattered and extinguished at this moment, and Shi Jian's body was suddenly submerged in darkness.

After Shi Shaojian came out of confinement, he took the money he got from the Guan family and threw himself into the gentle village of Jinjin Cave, a famous village in the provincial capital, forgetting his previous words about changing his mind.

But no matter how much he indulged in it, Ren Tingting's appearance at Guan's Restaurant that day always appeared in his mind, and he subconsciously compared her with the promiscuous women in front of him who could please him for money, and he suddenly felt that Sol was boring.

"Okay, get up."

Pushing aside the several good-looking women surrounding him, Shi Shaojian stood up from his seat and walked out with a bored look on his face, leaving several women there who looked at each other in confusion.

As Shi Shaojian walked on the street, he felt hot all over his body but couldn't express it. He didn't know when he started to lose interest in this place.

His mind kept recalling everything before, and the heat in his heart became more and more intense. However, he could still remain rational at this time and knew that he could not do that kind of thing again, at least not now.

Unknowingly, he came to the Guan Family Restaurant. Looking at the bustling restaurant, he couldn't help but feel a little bored, so he walked in.

Shi Shaojian didn't see the Guan family and his son, so he found a random place to sit down, had someone serve him wine, and started drinking there alone.

I don't know how long he had been drinking. When the number of guests in the restaurant gradually decreased, the wine was also finished. At this time, Shi Shaojian's face was red and his eyes were drunk, and he was about to get up from his seat. At this time, the people who came out of the restaurant asked him to do it.

A meal.

I saw Guan Bin and Ren Tingting coming down the stairs talking and laughing, and Shi Shaojian was just in a position where he could see them.

"Don't send me away. The restaurant is so busy, so I'll stay here to help dad."

Ren Tingting said to Guan Bin who was escorting her out, and Guan Bin couldn't help laughing after hearing this.

"It's okay. It's not far anyway. I can take you back and come back later."

"How much time will you waste by sending me back and then coming back? The city has just been renovated and is safe now!"

Ren Tingting pushed Guan Bin back without any explanation, and there was a reason why she said that.

The body of the flower picker is still hanging there at the city gate. This alone has improved the security of the city a lot. Before committing any crime, you have to think about whether you are as lucky as the flower picker, otherwise the next one will be hung up.

It’s him!

Moreover, Ren Mansion, the provincial capital, is just a street away from Guan's Restaurant, and it doesn't take long to walk there, so she refused Guan Bin to send her back.

After watching Ren Tingting leave, Guan Bin also returned upstairs. At this time, Shi Shaojian, who was drunk and hazy, seemed to have woken up from the wine all of a sudden, and followed closely behind Ren Tingting, keeping a distance from him.

And when she turned into an alley, he glanced around, took off a piece of cloth from his clothes, covered his face, and ducked in.

It's so difficult. My logic is all messed up now.
