Chapter 1805: Abandon personal grudges in the face of righteousness
Everyone's eyes were cast outside the palace, and they saw a figure like an iron tower, surrounded by five strong men wearing soft armor, striding in with head high. The few sergeants at the door instinctively wanted to stop him, but they couldn't. When Liu Yu's eyes were as cold as lightning, they all shrank their hands and feet, and just watched him come in.
Bao Chou stood up unconsciously from behind the big case. A smile appeared on Shen Qingzhi's face. Just as he was about to turn around to greet him, a gust of wind blew past him. He walked out, set up a posture on the steps of the lobby, and said sternly to the people behind Liu Yu: "Okay, in broad daylight, the demon thief dared to enter and leave the Yamen court like this. Come on, come to me." Take down these demon thieves!"
Among the five tigers of the Shen family behind Liu Yu, Shen Yuanzi, who was standing in the front row, said solemnly: "This military lord, we have accepted the imperial court's offer and received the pardon from Mr. Yuan, the historian of Wu Kingdom. We are no longer You are a monster and a thief. Please stop referring to our brothers by this name. We are now officers and soldiers of the imperial court, just like you."
Bao Sizhi sneered: "It's okay for you to lie to ghosts, but don't try to get away with me. There are indeed some common people who are threatened by demon thieves, but you, the five sons of the Shen family, are the leaders among thieves, like Shen Yunzi , is the murderer who personally killed Magistrate Xu of Shangyu, and Shen Tianzi, who doesn’t know that he is the bravest among the demon thieves and the brave general who charges into battle! It is Yuan Neishi’s business to pardon you, but this is Haiyan, not Wuxing. I will cut out the hearts and livers of the five of you today to pay homage to the innocent soldiers and civilians who died at your hands!"
Liu Yu said calmly: "This must be the famous Mr. Bao. I wonder what kind of hatred Mr. Bao has against the five sons of the Shen family. Why do they have to kill them like this?"
Bao Sizhi was stunned for a moment, then said in a deep voice: "Liu Yu, do you want to forcefully defend these demon thieves, even at the cost of making enemies with the army and the imperial court? This is not your Jingkou, can you see clearly? Yes, on my territory, you are even a dragon, but I can't stand you up! These demon thieves have done many evil things in Wu, and hundreds of soldiers and civilians have died at their hands. This is a national feud. It’s not my personal grudge!”
As he spoke, he began to look around, looking for the nearest helper. After all, although Mr. Bao sounded arrogant, he had seen real scenes and had seen Liu Yu fight. He had also been involved in it. He has killed people on the battlefield, so he still has some basic combat experience and judgment.
Liu Yu smiled slightly and said: "Mr. Bao just mentioned Magistrate Xu of Shangyu who was killed by Shen Yunzi. To tell you the truth, before pardoning a few of them this time, I specially picked up Magistrate Xu's son. Xu Kuizhi, who is currently the author of the imperial court, asked him to decide the life and death of these people. After all, filial piety is greater than the national law. Our dynasty governs the world with filial piety. Even the imperial court's pardon cannot deprive the children of those who died at their hands. The power of revenge. And the five sons of the Shen family also knew that their crimes were serious, and when they came to seek forgiveness, they came alone and empty-handed, allowing others to slaughter them without any complaints."
Bao Sizhi's expression changed: "Seriously?!" He turned to sneer: "Then Xu Kuizhi can let go of his father's hatred and not avenge his father's hatred, I'm afraid he bought you with a huge profit. Humph, who doesn't know that his surname is Xu? I have been friends with you, Liu Yu, since I was a child. I just deceived you so much that I didn’t even want to avenge my father. I still can’t understand it."
Liu Yu looked at the silent Shen Qingzhi behind Bao Sizhi and said, "You must be the Master Shen of Chongqing, known as the Xanthurium Gong. I have heard of your reputation and have always wanted to meet you. But I didn’t expect to see it here.”
Shen Qingzhi quickly held up his hands and said: "I didn't expect that even Liu Canjun had heard of my name. I was really frightened. I went to Beijing this time to move reinforcements. I originally wanted to ask Magistrate Bao to send someone to Wuzhuang to inform Liu Canjun. , lead troops to assist General Xie as soon as possible, but unexpectedly see Liu Canjun himself here, what a blessing it is."
Liu Yu smiled and said: "Then I wonder if Master Shen can understand why Xu Kuizhi was able to let go of his father's hatred and forgive the five sons of the Shen family?"
Shen Qingzhi said without hesitation: "Because the local tycoons in Wu were bewitched by the demon thieves of Tianshi Dao and rebelled. As soon as the imperial army arrived, the demon thieves abandoned these local tyrants and ran away. Most of the local tyrant leaders were killed, and His sons and nephews, such as the five sons of the Shen family, hid in the mountains with many villagers and tenant farmers. Although the court issued a pardon order, they did not dare to come out because they were afraid of being investigated for their crimes. The five sons of the Shen family were the first batch. If the rebellious gangsters who come out to accept amnesty are killed because of personal grudges, I am afraid that no one will dare to come forward to surrender. This is equivalent to cutting off the escape route of these people and pushing them to the side of the monsters and thieves, which will increase tenfold or a hundredfold. It is difficult to pacify the land of Wu. Therefore, Xu Gong gave up his personal revenge of killing his father for the sake of national justice. It was a noble act, and Shen admired it very much."
Liu Yu nodded with satisfaction, looked at Bao Sizhi, whose face was turning blue and white, and said calmly: "Now Mr. Bao still wants to insist on avenging the dead soldiers and people, even if the local tycoons of Wu rebel, let Will there be another rebellion in temporarily stable places like Haiyan and Wuxing?"
Bao Hou laughed twice: "Liu Canjun is not only invincible on the battlefield, but also has profound insights into the matter of suppression outside the battlefield. No wonder Prime Minister Xie thought so highly of you, admired you, and admired you so much!"
As he spoke, he walked to the front of the hall and turned to Bao Sizhi with a serious face: "This is not the place for you to talk, why don't you leave quickly?!"
Bao Sizhi gritted his teeth and saluted. Just as he was about to turn around, Liu Yu suddenly said: "Mr. Bao, I respect you for your loyalty, bravery and uprightness. He is the pillar of the country. We and other warriors only know how to grudge and grudge. Licking blood from the edge of the knife and decapitating the thieves who have caused chaos in the world and tortured the people. This is what a military man should think. Not to mention Mr. Bao, I, Liu Yu, and my brothers from the Beifu Army are all like this. I thought. When all the five tigers of the Shen family came to defect, my first reaction was to kill them to avenge the people who died at their hands."
A hint of surprise flashed across Bao Sizhi's face. He turned around and looked at Liu Yu: "Do you really think so?"
Liu Yu nodded: "Of course, I, Liu Yu, join the army to serve the country with one thought: to protect our country and the people. If anyone harms the people and harms the country, whether it is a barbarian or a traitor, he should be made to pay the price. Especially Along the way, I saw how the once prosperous and prosperous land of Wu was ruined by this rebellion, which made me grit my teeth and keep me awake at night. I dreamed about killing thieves and putting down the rebellion every day!"
