Li Shimin included Helan Chushi's family in the list of people to be killed, not just because he was Hou Junji's son-in-law, but entirely because he wanted to murder Li Chengqian back then and was only now seeking to settle old scores with him.
Li Shimin's true intention of taking revenge and settling old scores was, firstly, to avenge the prince for the past, and secondly, to sound the alarm to King Wei again.
It can be regarded as a warning to King Wei. Although the punishment was not immediately punished for what happened back then, it was not because Li Shimin didn't remember it or because he believed Li Tai's words of evasion, but because it was recorded in his heart as it was.
If one day Li Tai has other thoughts or does something unscrupulous, Helan Chushi's fate will be his future.
At that time, he, Li Shimin, will definitely settle the blame and will not be soft-hearted again.
Anyone with a discerning eye can understand Li Shimin's intention, so Empress Changsun remained silent, as did Li Chengqian and Wu Meiniang.
Of course, there are also those who cannot see clearly, who only think that the execution of Helan Chushi's family was entirely due to Hou Junji's family who wanted to rebel.
After the food market was stained with blood, Helan Anshi was heartbroken and went to collect the bodies of his younger brother, nephews and nieces..." Seeing the Hou Zanjun couple who were collecting the bodies of the Hou family indifferently, their eyes turned red as if they were in hell. Like an evil ghost that crawled out, it pounced on Hou Zanjun with incomparable ferocity.
Helan Anshi strangled Hou Zanjun's neck, shaking him and cursing, "Why didn't you die? Why didn't you die? It was obviously your father who rebelled, why would you, his son, be pardoned? You deserve to die! Why don't you die? !””
Hou Zanjun did not fight. He looked at Helan Anshi who was looking crazy and ferocious with empty eyes. He allowed himself to slowly fall into a state of hypoxia, and there was even a hint of relief in the corners of his eyes.
I thought to myself that dying like this might be the best ending, right? I'm just sorry for the love of Prince Li Chengqian, and the help of Fang Yiai and Yuchi Baolin.
If there is an afterlife, if it really comes from the afterlife, then you can find a way to repay them.
"Thinking" Hou Zanjun closed his eyes in resignation, waiting for death to come with a peaceful expression.
Although Fang Yiai was banned from his residence and was inconvenient to go out, it did not mean that Yuchi Baolin could not freely enter and exit the residence and the capital.
After listening to Fang Qi's description of Hou Zanjun's condition, Fang Yiai was very uneasy. At the same time, she also knew that Helan Anshi valued his own brother more than anything else. Helan Chushi's family was executed along with the Hou family..." It is inevitable to feel sad. Next, Helan Anshi caused trouble for Hou Zanjun and his family again.
Given Hou Zanjun's current sluggish state, he will definitely not fight back... "If he doesn't fight back, he even expects others to kill him..." Why is everyone trying so hard to save him?
Therefore, early on, Fang Yiai asked Fang Qi to find Yuchi Baolin, tell her story, and ask Yuchi Baolin to pay more attention to Hou Zanjun and Helan Anshi, lest anything really happen. .
Knowing that Fang Yiai could not leave the house, she could only send people to keep an eye on Hou Zanjun's family. However, there were only those who could speak in front of Hou Zanjun, or who could make Hou Zanjun temporarily listen after speaking. He and Fang Yiai are married.
Fang Yiai was ordered to be grounded by the emperor. The only person who can really persuade Hou Zanjun now is himself. Yuchi Baolin agreed to Fang Yiai's request without hesitation.
Therefore, "when Hou Zanjun came to collect the bodies of the Hou family, Yuchi Baolin also brought people from his own family and those sent by Fang Yiai to help. At the same time, he kept paying attention to the actions of Helan Anshi, who also came to collect the corpses.
Seeing Helan Anshi strangled Hou Zanjun's neck like crazy, but Hou Zanjun showed no intention of resisting, Yuchi Baolin secretly praised Fang Yiai's prediction, but at the same time he was a little angry that Hou Zanjun couldn't think about it.
Even though I had explained everything clearly to him before, why didn't he turn his head around? It was his father who made the mistake, not him, so why did he still torture himself like this?
Yuchi Baolin was a little lucky at the same time. Fortunately, his father was not very good and had a bad relationship with him and his brother. Otherwise, if it was his father who caused this matter, would he have to live and die like Hou Zanjun?
Like the walking dead?
Yuchi Baolin felt a chill in his heart at the thought of becoming a walking zombie without thinking.
After shaking off the chilly goosebumps on his body, Yuchi Baolin did not hesitate, and without saying a word, he stepped forward and struck the crazy Helan Anshi on the back of his neck, knocking him unconscious.
After opening Helan Anshi's hands, Yuchi Baolin saw that Hou Zanjun still had his eyes closed and looked like he was waiting for death. He couldn't help but feel very angry. He sneered twice and roared, "You really want to die so much?! Okay! Very good."
!I will help you!"
He raised his fist and hit Hou Zanjun hard on the chin. He knocked Hou Zanjun back two steps and turned unsteadily twice before he vomited and fell to the ground.
"You want to die, you're done with it, right?" Yuchi Baolin stepped forward and grabbed Hou Zanjun's collar, lifted him up, looked at Hou Zanjun's somewhat indifferent and empty eyes, and the anger in his heart became more intense, and he shouted, "Have you ever thought about it?
No, if you die, what will happen to those of us who have tried so hard to save you? Ah!? Yi Ai is still banned by the emperor!"
"Okay, even if it is, even if you don't care about our feelings. But what about them? Ah!?" Yuchi Baolin roared, knocking Hou Zanjun to the ground repeatedly, and then lifted him up by the collar and asked,
"Open your eyes and take a look!"
"Look! Those are your wife and children!" Yuchi Baolin pointed at Hou Zanjun's wife and children, who were blocking their children and wiping tears in sadness and disappointment, and yelled, "Take a good look at them! You are dead, you
What will happen to them after they are freed? They are your wife and children! You have the responsibility and obligation to protect them and shelter them from wind and rain!"
"Look clearly! You are their god!" Yuchi Baolin pinched the back of Hou Zanjun's neck, forced Hou Zanjun to look at his wife and children, shook Hou Zanjun, and shouted, "You are their only support now and in the future!
You are dead and you can no longer see them, but you are cruel and cold-blooded and leave them to continue in this world, orphans and widowed mothers being bullied by others! You are still not a man! Ah?!"
"You still want to die, don't you? Okay!" Yuchi Baolin roared, and at the same time he dragged Hou Zanjun to his wife and children, pushed him towards his wife and children, and said, "If you still want to die, then okay
, let’s kill them all first, so that they, who are already innocent, will not have to bear the censure and humiliation of others in this world for your Hou family!” With that said, Yuchi Baolin pulled out the saber from his waist and threw it at
On the ground.
After coldly sweeping the ground and staring at Hou Zanjun, who was staring at the sharp sword, Yuchi Baolin turned around and walked away, letting Hou Zanjun make his own decision.
"Don't worry, if you pay for a few more coffins, I, Yuchi Baolin, can still afford it." After taking a few steps, Yuchi Baolin stopped and said without looking back. After that, he went aside and asked someone to help him.
Then continue to collect the bodies of Hou family members.
After all, he still understands that helping people to the end and sending Buddha to the West is nonsense.
The Helan Anshi family, probably with Helan Anshi's instructions in advance, only took away the bodies of Helan Chushi and his two children. As for the body of his wife, Hou Junji's concubine daughter, the Helan family did not collect the bodies.
After leaving, he took the coffin and the knocked unconscious Helan Anshi back to Helan's house.
Yuchi Baolin glanced at the departing figures of Helan's family, without saying anything, he pointed directly at the body of Helan Chushi's wife and asked people to collect it together.
After all the corpses were gathered up and thrown away, a roar of pain like a wounded beast came from behind, followed by Hou Zanjun's suppressed sobs, which gradually became louder and louder until he hissed hysterically.
It makes the listener sad and the listener shed tears.
However, looking at the blood that had not completely solidified at Caishikou, everyone looked sympathetically and pityingly at Hou Zanjun, who was lying on the ground crying and roaring, and no one dared to approach.
Many people shook their heads and said with a sigh, "What an injustice! To have such an evil-minded father on the stall has accumulated injustice for several lifetimes." As they spoke, the onlookers who sympathized and watched slowly dispersed.
Gone.
Even those who had arranged the body, Yuchi Baolin, sent them to carry the coffin to Yizhuang and place it there first. If anything happens, we can talk about it later.
In the entire Caishikou, for a while, the only thing left was Hou Zanjun's roar and cry, and the sorrowful voices of his wife and children.
Yuchi Baolin just looked at the family crying expressionlessly, with no intention of stepping forward to persuade them. Occasionally there was a look of sympathy in his eyes, and he sighed silently in his heart.
Yuchi Baolin was extremely lucky. Fortunately, his father was not as capable as Hou Junji, and at the same time he had his aunt and two mothers watching closely. Otherwise, he and his brother would be the ones crying.
After venting on the street for half an hour, Hou Zanjun's crying gradually stopped. After wiping the tears and snot mixed with blood and mud on his face, Hou Zanjun finally had a trace of life in his eyes.
Standing up numbly, Hou Zanjun reached out to help his wife, and reached out to touch his son. Without looking at Yuchi Baolin beside him, he took his wife and children and walked towards the direction of his temporary residence courtyard.
However, when passing by Yuchi Baolin's sword lying quietly on the ground, Hou Zanjun pressed his heel against the guard of the sword's handle, exerted force on his foot, and accurately put the sword into Yuchi Baolin's hand, murmuring.
, "Thank you." He took his wife and children away.
Seeing that Hou Zanjun's mood had finally stabilized and that he no longer wanted to die, Yuchi Baolin took a long breath, wiped the sweat from his head due to nervousness, and relaxedly put the knife back into its sheath.
