Chapter 275: You and I Are Both Supporting Roles

The courtyard where they live is small, but it has all internal organs.

Gu Yi and Sisi sat opposite each other in the side room, and Sisi made hot tea: "Brother Gu, please have some tea."

"Miss Sisi, if you have anything to say, just ask."

"It's like this. I heard a lot of rumors in the embroidery workshop about the case of Fan Lou's headless body being interrogated in the Kaifeng Mansion during the day. Brother Gu, are Cuiniang and Brother Zhou really the murderers?"

The matter of deploying the defense map is very important, and Liu Cui's Liao identity is very sensitive, so in the document issued by the government office, it is only said that the real culprits are two thieves who came from the south of the Yangtze River, named "I Lai Ye", who are now dead. Was captured and brought to justice.

Therefore, even if Gu Yi knew the whole story, he would not casually talk about it with others.

He knew that Zhou Qiang and Cuiniang were kind to Sisi's father and daughter, and understood Sisi's shock when he heard the news, but he just nodded and said, "Yes."

"How did that happen"

After being affirmed, Sisi couldn't hide the disbelief on her face.

"Brother Gu, can I visit them?"

"No." Gu Yi shook his head, "There are a lot of people staring at the Kaifeng mansion recently. If you go, it is inevitable that your identity will not be discovered. If Wang Qinruo finds out, you will be in trouble. It is better not to go."

Sisi let out an "oh" in disappointment.

Seeing this, Gu Yi said again: "The two of them have come hand in hand, and they have gone through hardships. It's really not easy."

"In this way, Sister Liu has finally got what she wanted." Sisi sighed, "She was infatuated with Brother Zhou, and finally got Brother Zhou to protect her so much. She should be very satisfied and extremely happy now."

"So Miss Sisi knows about this?"

Sisi smiled embarrassedly: "When my father and I were still in Hangzhou, Brother Zhou and Sister Liu often helped us, but I could tell that Sister Liu was kind to us only because Brother Zhou was kind to us. , Eldest Brother Zhou is still focused on Elder Sister Song, and Elder Sister Liu is humbled that she is a man of the world and unworthy of Elder Brother Zhou, so she just hides her thoughts."

Gu Yi was very surprised when he heard this.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Qiang also had a heart of admiration for Xiaochen?

Does Brother Du know about this?

"I envy Sister Song very much."

Sisi took a sip of her tea and said suddenly.

"Because she is carefree, she doesn't have to do anything, she has everything, and there are a bunch of people who are kind to her, a bunch of people like her, and everyone revolves around her. Brother Zhou is like this, Brother Du is like this, even Brother Gu, you, too."

Gu Yi put down his teacup, a little embarrassed by others, but more surprised.

Ziying said that if a woman has a heart of jealousy, it will be terrible.

"But I'm very grateful to Sister Song."

Sisi shook her head helplessly.

"She is always kind to people without reservation. The longer I stay with her, the more I feel that she is pure and kind, and sometimes she looks more stupid. Sometimes such a person makes me feel like I can't bear to bully her. "

Sisi laughed.

"By the way, Mr. Gu, my father and I have already found a place to rent at the west end of Liren Lane, and we will move out in a few days. These days, I am bothering you."

Gu Yi asked in surprise, "Why?"

Sisi couldn't help but chuckle again: "Because my father is right, Sister Song and Young Master Du are a perfect match, I shouldn't have extravagant hopes, not even a little bit of delusional thinking."

Gu Yi suddenly realized, looking at Sisi at this moment, he felt quite empathetic.

Sisi continued: "I have listened to many books by Liu Fengchun before, and read many story books. In the story books, there are always many villains around the hero and heroine who destroy their relationship. At that time, I was so angry that my teeth itch. , I can’t wait to eliminate them instead of the protagonist.”

"Looking back now, Sister Song and Brother Du are the male and female protagonists in the storybook, and you and I are like the supporting roles next to the protagonist in the storybook. Brother Gu, don't you think they are very similar?"

Gu Yi: There was a long silence.

"Life is not a story. Maybe in Brother Du and Xiaochen's world, I am a supporting role, but in my story, I am also the protagonist. Miss Sisi must have her own story."

"Haha, then I will borrow my son's auspicious words."

Sisi smiled in relief.

"Later my second sister was slandered by Wang Qinruo to death. I vowed to take revenge. Brother Zhou Yibo Yuntian helped us. The plan was already set up and everything was ready. The only thing left was to be able to observe Wang Qinruo's location on the third floor so that my father Watchers, at this time, Sister Liu knew about our plan, so she offered to join us, thanks to her, our plan can proceed normally."

Sisi recalled the past.

It's a pity that God failed to fulfill his wish, and Miss Song happened to be there at the time and rescued Wang Qinruo.

Otherwise, she would have avenged her sister long ago.

Now, the days of ease have made her feel less revenge, but occasionally she dreams of her sister's pale face in her dreams at midnight.

In her dream she blamed herself for not avenging her.

Although Gu Yi is the person who knows the most about the ins and outs of the Shocuilou case besides the parties involved, he still doesn't know these details.

At this time, hearing Sisi talking about it, I also sighed for a while.

However, he still keenly heard Sisi's regret for not being able to kill Wang Qinruo in one fell swoop.

Sisi said sadly: "Brother Gu, I don't read much, and I don't understand much of the truth. But during this time, I heard Ah Qi tell Ah Cui a story about Confucius:
"The student who said that the sage asked him what he should do if he met the enemy who killed his parents. Confucius said that sleeping on straw mats and resting on shields does not live in the same world. Kill him with your bare hands."

What she was talking about was an article in "Book of Rites: Tan Gong".

Gu Yi was familiar with the classics and history, so naturally he had also read it.

Even Confucius, who advocated the "way of loyalty and forgiveness," was a supporter of this act of revenge.

In fact, it is not difficult to understand that the core of Confucius' thought is "benevolence", but at the national level, he always advocated "ritual" to govern the country.

"Li" is a set of order that maintained the feudal society of the Zhou Dynasty, and the basis of this set of order is the rule of the monarch and ministers, father and son.

When filial piety becomes the cornerstone of national morality, blood relative revenge will naturally become a reasonable part of the Confucian code of conduct.

Therefore, it is said in "Book of Rites · Qu Li": "Father's enmity cannot be shared, brother's enmity is not against the army, friendship is not in the same country."

To put it simply, it means "revenge of killing one's father, not sharing the same death".

Another Confucian classic, The Spring and Autumn Annals of Gongyang, said solemnly:

"If you don't take revenge, you are not a son."

Therefore, in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, people appreciated and praised those who had the courage to take revenge, which led to the prevalence of private fighting in the late Warring States period, and it was difficult for people who took revenge by blood relatives to abide by the principle of appropriateness, and indiscriminate killing of innocent people abounded.
