Qingqiu is difficult

The mountain wind blew by, and from a distance, I saw a man standing next to the rock, wearing a bamboo hat and carrying a long sword.

Tu Shansong came through the snow, and when he arrived, it was already getting light.

Shadow stepped forward and saluted: "Young master, here's the question. The village to the east where the mythical beasts were caught is called Moliuying. Monsters have appeared since ancient times, and there are many hunters who make a living by catching monsters. After tortured Liu Zhang, he also said It’s this mythical beast that earns money from Mo Liu.”

"Mo Liuying..." Tu Shansong recited the name several times in his heart. He turned his head and looked at Shadow: "What else?"

Shadow was a little hesitant, but seeing Song's unquestionable look in his eyes, he had no choice but to say:

"Also... people in Moliuying say that the mythical beast was not born in Moliuying, but fell from the sky one day. And the suspicious person who came to the village that day was... They are several Qingqiu royal families."

Song: "How do they know if they are from Qingqiu or from the Qingqiu royal family?"

Shadow took out a scroll from his arms and unfolded it. What was painted on it was the pattern of the jade pendant worn by the Qingqiu royal family. Song also had a jade pendant like this.

Shadow: "This is a pattern drawn based on the description of the villagers. What's more, they are not far from Qingqiu. There are several elders in the clan, and they can even conclude that it is the royal pattern of Qingqiu at a glance."

Song pondered for a moment and said to Shadow: "You put the Liu Zhang back, and then we go to Moliu Camp."

Shadow was about to say something when Song suddenly said, "I'll go check on Liu Zhang first."

The two men then came to the water prison. Inside the water prison, a man in ragged clothes was lying on the ground. His lower limbs were almost broken. The few days of hunger and torture had already exhausted his youthful spirit.

The water was still dripping, and Song stood outside the cage, looking at the people inside, without saying a word for a long time.

Hearing that someone was coming, Liu Zhang became a little crazy and a little scared. He hugged his arms tightly and shrank into the corner, dragging his remaining body, and his whole body was trembling.

His disheveled hair covered his eyes, and he trembled: "In my life... I have killed countless people... and I have indeed done... unjust things! I know I deserve to die... but I have been loyal to the emperor and patriotic all my life, and my faults cannot be concealed!"

Song narrowed his eyes, looked at him, and said, "You say your flaws don't cover up your flaws, but your war is not to give the people a happy life at all. If you really love the people in the world, how could you do those things that are so disrespectful to human life!"

Liu Zhang raised his head in confusion: "They... so what if they made some sacrifices for the great cause! If... if I hadn't practiced my courage by killing people when I was young, in the future... how would I dare to kill the enemy as a young man, one for a hundred!"

Song looked at him indifferently, Shadow sighed and said:

"It's useless, Young Master, he never feels that he did anything wrong. Even now, I still remember when all the beasts were galloping, the soldiers were driven and bitten, and the battlefield was littered with pieces of meat, internal organs, and corpses. It’s such a blocky scene. You’re a useless young master. How can you reason with someone like him?”

Song was silent for a moment, took out the scroll from his arms, and handed it to Shadow: "Originally, I thought these things could be dismissed as rumors, but just after I saw you last time, I always felt that there was still something fishy about this matter. This time I deliberately Go back to Moon City and get these things.

Shadow, read the crime above. "

Shadow opened the scroll and read only one paragraph before his scalp went numb. His hands were trembling and he glanced at Song. Seeing that he was resolute, he mustered up the courage to read out:

"In the 322nd year of Jingguo, Xin Yi killed twelve young children. Just because they cried endlessly, the princess surrendered to Hushan. The oldest child was only nine years old, and the youngest was only three years old."

Liu Zhang sneered twice, and the fear he had just now gradually dissipated. While others were thinking of crimes, he seemed to be thinking of his achievements. He smiled and said:

"Those children were really disgusting. I was young at that time. The princess was annoyed by their noise, but because of her identity, I couldn't tell. After the princess left, I found someone to kill them all. The tigers in Hushan are hungry all year round. He is also hungry, the child is still young, one bite at a time, hahaha..." Shadow clenched his fists, he endured it, and read again:

"In the 325th year of the Jingguo period, the princess was traveling. She was curious when she saw a pregnant woman on the street, so she ordered someone to have her abdomen disemboweled and kill the pregnant woman and her son..."

Thinking of this, Shadow couldn't bear it any longer. He pulled out his knife and went straight towards Liu Zhang, but was stopped by Song.

"You are really not a fucking human! Those are two living lives! Those are human lives!"

Liu Zhang raised his eyes and glanced at him, his expression slightly fearful, but it was not because he had done anything wrong, but because of the bright knife in his hand.

He hesitated and said: "If we don't cut it open, how can we know... what was in the woman's belly before she was born? After all, everyone in the world must die. It would be a pity if she died first and the mystery was solved!"

Shadow gritted his teeth, looked at him like that, opened the scroll again, and continued to read:

"In the 326th year of the Jingguo period, the princess was curious about the eunuchs, so she killed more than a dozen eunuchs and trapped them in the rockery behind the palace.

In the 327th year of the Jing Kingdom, the princess killed a young girl in order to get a new drum, skinned her alive, and used it as a drum head. The princess was angry that the girls of the Jing Kingdom were vulgar, so she bought a Qingqiu girl with a lot of money. Suddenly, the Qingqiu girl disappeared and was robbed. Everyone..."

Shadow's hands began to tremble. Liu Zhang looked at the two of them and began to feel a little frightened. He said:

"The eunuch is a slave, so why not kill him! The young girl's drumming was done by the missionaries to deceive the princess. I only helped her get what she wanted..."

When he looked up again, Shadow had tears streaming down his face. He looked at Song and choked with sobs:

"Sir, please ask me to kill this disciple! My sister and my neighbor's little sister all died in this disaster!"

Song's eyes were also red. He glanced at Shadow, indicating that he already knew about the matter, and said to Liu Zhang:

"Your crimes are too numerous to describe. If I remember correctly, three hundred and twenty-nine years before Jingguo, the princess had not yet gained wisdom or enlightenment. At that time, these things were all done by you secretly deceiving the princess? Did you know , how much infamy has she suffered over the years by doing these things?!"

Liu Zhang got angry: "You're talking nonsense! I do all this for her happiness. I only want her to be happy, so I don't care about the reputation!"

"Is her happiness based on you helping her kill people?"

"Yes! She can laugh!"

"She was just ignorant and excited at the sight of blood and carnage. What's more, how do you know she wasn't afraid?! You always kill with cruel methods. Let her see it in front of everyone. Princess of a country. , how could you lose your manners in front of everyone! In order to prevent others from seeing her panic, she kept smiling!"

"You...what did you say?" Liu Zhang was a little at a loss for a moment, and he looked at Song blankly.
