The Heavens of Film and Television: From Serving as a Soldier

Chapter 153 Rejuvenation

Night, in the back hall of the Governor's Mansion. Di Chun walked in with a man in a hood. The man took off his hood and it was Zhang Laosi from Daliushu Village.

Zhang Laosi sat opposite Mr. Di. Judge Dee asked: "Who threatened you and caused you to rebel in court?"

Zhang Laosi was very nervous: "S-Sir, I, I...I can't say it!"

Judge Dee nodded: "I know, you are afraid that he will continue to harm you."

Zhang Laosi nodded: "If someone like him wants to kill ordinary people, it is like killing an ant!"

Judge Di said: "I can understand. A few days ago, there was civil strife in Youzhou and the situation was tense. I was unable to protect your safety, so I kept silent and never asked you. But now that you have settled down, you will no longer be able to protect your safety." Don’t be afraid of anyone. Do you believe what I say?”

Zhang Laosi suddenly raised his head and looked at Mr. Dee, his lips trembling. Judge Dee looked at him kindly. Zhang Laosi gritted his teeth: "I believe everything you say. The person who threatens me is the general beside you!"

Duke Di asked: "Hu Jinghui?"

Zhang Laosi trembled all over: "That's him! So, when I said goodbye to you the day before yesterday, I told you to be careful!"

Judge Dee's eyes were moist: "I understand. Fourth child, can you tell me the situation at that time."

Zhang Laosi nodded and told him about Hu Jinghui's threat to him in the squad room on the left side of the lobby.

Di Gong said with deep regret: "After a conversation with Zhang Laosi, I completely gave up my illusions about you. So Yuan Fang and I made a snake-catching plan. First of all, we expected that you would definitely Went to assassinate Liu Jin, so..."

He outlined the scene at that time to Hu Jinghui——

Night, back hall. The door opened suddenly, and Li Yuanfang walked over quickly. Suddenly, a cold star came toward his face, and Li Yuanfang turned around to avoid it. At the same time, Liu Jin also fell to the ground. Li Yuanfang stood up and looked at Liu Jin, who was already dead. He quickly took out the pills from his arms and put them into his mouth, then took out a needle and pricked his left shoulder and fell to the ground.

Judge Di said: "Actually, the reason Yuan Fang's face turned black was because he took the rhino horn belladonna pills I prepared."

Hu Jinghui smiled bitterly and said: "It's funny that I'm still proud of this clever assassination."

Judge Di said: "Second, I know that you are monitoring my movements every night, so the night before yesterday, I deliberately let you see Li Er. After you left, Yuan Fang came to my place, and the two of us made an appointment. I’m trying to trick you into taking the bait. There’s just one thing I don’t quite understand yet.”

Hu Jinghui asked: "What is it?"

Judge Di said: "Lu Da has a family in Xiaolianzi Village. You saw Li Er. Why didn't you take action then?"

Hu Jinghui smiled: "Because, I put all my weapons elsewhere. Moreover, in that small environment, there were only four people, and any small hands or feet would attract attention, even if I brought a poisonous needle , and would not choose to take action there."

Di Gong nodded and sighed: "After the fake 'Viper' died, I still had a glimmer of hope, hoping that we had wrongly blamed you. So I sent Di Chun to the front with your shoe samples collected in my room. Went to compare. But I was disappointed!”

Hu Jinghui slowly lowered his head and said softly: "In the past, I used to think that I was the smartest. But now I understand that I was wrong. I fell into the hands of adults, and Jinghui is convinced."

Judge Di asked: "Jinghui, what should I do with you?"

Hu Jinghui said: "Sir, what I want to tell you is that Jinghui knows the whole story clearly, but if you want to get the truth from me, it is absolutely impossible! So, I I advise you to kill me as soon as possible."

Judge Dee said: "I won't force you."

Hu Jinghui said emotionally: "Thank you, Sir."

Judge Dee stood up and walked slowly. After a long time, he stopped and said: "If I kill you now, it will be unfair and inconsistent with my words. But if I escort you back to the capital, the emperor will definitely cut you into pieces and make you suffer all kinds of torture. You Helping Zhou to commit crimes and openly opposing the imperial court, although the crime deserves death, his behavior is merciful. You... let's go."

Hu Jinghui couldn't believe his ears: "S-what did your lord say?"

Li Yuanfang was stunned: "Sir, how can this be done?"

Judge Dee smiled: "The reason why I didn't call the guards here today is that I left a step back. But, Jinghui, I want you to promise me something."

Hu Jinghui's surprise could no longer be expressed in words: "W-what's the matter?"

Judge Di said: "After you leave, you must not assist gangsters or cause trouble, let alone kill innocent people indiscriminately and harm the people."

Hu Jinghui lowered his head and said softly: "I agree."

Judge Dee nodded: "Just these three words, I will let you go. I know you are a bloody man, and I hope you will cherish your words like gold."

Hu Jinghui raised his head: "Do you really want to let me go?"

Judge Dee let out a long sigh: "You and I are working together, and I have nothing to give you. I just want to tell you one thing: There are many things in the world that are more worth doing than revenge. Go ahead!"

Tears rolled down Hu Jinghui's cheeks. He endured the pain, knelt down on the ground, and kowtowed three times: "Sir, you... take care of me!" With that, he stood up and walked out of the door sadly. .

Duke Dee sighed and slowly sat down on the stool.

Li Yuanfang has not yet come to his senses: "S-Sir, just let him go like this?"

Di Gong raised his head: "Is it useful to kill him?" Li Yuanfang was stunned.

Judge Dee said: "You must learn to respect your opponents. This is the most important thing."

Li Yuanfang nodded: "Maybe you are right. I hope he can understand your painstaking efforts and be a good person in the future."

Judge Dee smiled: "Where's Li Er?"

Li Yuanfang said: "Actually, he woke up a long time ago. He didn't say a word and seemed to be quite wary of us."

Judge Di pondered: "Who is this Li Er?"

……

Zhang Yang watched Hu Jinghui stumble out of the door, followed him secretly, and then said after leaving the city: "You just left like that?"

"You came?"

"Of course I knew you were coming, otherwise would I have walked so slowly?"

"Sure enough, Li Yuanfang did not kill him."

"Tell me, your people have been watching me for a long time."

Zhang Yang smiled and said: "I have wine here, do you want some?"

"No, your Zhuangyuanhong is very famous." Hu Jinghui said, "I don't want to be controlled by others."

"Freedom is indeed important." Zhang Yang nodded and said, "But don't worry, this wine is not poisonous."

The two sat on the ground and Zhang Yang said: "Do you think revenge is that simple? Kill Wu Zetian?"

"I don't know, I'm confused right now."

Zhang Yang smiled and said, "Follow me?"

"Just you? You don't deserve it."

"I, the grandnephew of Emperor Taizong and the descendant of Huang Guogong, I think I am qualified to regain you."

"You? You are really a descendant of Huang Guogong."

"Replacement guaranteed."

"No, I still can't help you."

"Because of Jin Mulan?"

"Yes, I love her."

"Don't worry, her plan is full of loopholes. In order to become the second Wu Zetian, she actually lured foreign enemies into the country and massacred our Chinese people. This crime cannot be punished." Zhang Yang said: "I just want you to stop her."

"I know it's not easy for her, but we, our own family, are fighting and killing each other, so we can't let foreign enemies take advantage."

Hu Jinghui nodded and said, "I understand."

"General, I need your help."

"You speak first."

"I need an army, I need an official position."

"I understand, foreign enemies will invade, but it won't be serious, right?"

"That's right. I need to take credit and rely on Duke Dee's recommendation to get here."

Hu Jinghui said nothing. After drinking, he said, "I drank the wine. It's time for me to leave."

Zhang Yang handed over a bottle and said, "Inside is the rejuvenation pill I refined, which will help your internal injuries."

"Thank you."
