Another World Da Ming: I use a hundred lives to become holy

Chapter 581 The Last Resort

Having nothing to say is the same as having something to say. Xiaoqing’s doubts are the answer.

"Butler, is the Wu Eryi case truly over?"

Xiaoqing noticed Chongning's abnormal mood and subconsciously changed the topic.

"As a rule of thumb, it's over."

The butler nodded, continued drinking tea, and handed a cup to the two of them.

Xiaoqing took it. She needed to drink some tea to calm down. After all, Chongning’s remarks just now were too outrageous.

But Chongning was unable to do so. She seemed to be attracted by something. She turned around silently and walked out of the mansion alone.

"Common sense?"

Xiaoqing wanted to follow, but she caught hold of these two key words and could only look at Chongning's back, hoping that Zhao Zheng would answer quickly.

Zhao Zheng naturally continued to explain, but his brows were furrowed because he knew where Chongning was going and who he was looking for.

But he still shook his head, signaling Xiaoqing not to worry about Chongning.

Xiaoqing is in the Zhao Mansion, and she has been involved in some things for a long time. It is time to remind her.

As for Chongning, well, it's just in time for her to slowly move over.

"According to common sense, Wu Eryi's case would have been concluded the night he escaped, and he would have been sentenced to a hundred strokes of the cane. If he didn't die on the spot, he would have been half-dead, and eventually rotted in prison."

"It just so happens that the magistrate Cheng Jintai is a student of the Zhao family, so he is being held in prison, awaiting execution in the autumn."

Is the magistrate Cheng Jintai competent? There is no doubt that he is competent in this era.

But behind this competence, there are countless tragedies, tragedies that belong uniquely to Zhao Zheng.

"But Wu Er was framed and didn't deserve to die."

Xiaoqing still didn't understand. She just felt that Wu Er was indeed hateful, but he would never deserve the death penalty.

"If you and His Highness hadn't discovered that page of information, the Patriarch wouldn't have received the news. Do you still think Wu Er would be spared?"

"Wu Er has even admitted his own guilt."

Zhao Zheng could not dictate what others should do, he could only do what he said within the mansion and set an example outside the mansion.

"This is not right, this is not right..." Xiaoqing naturally could not refute what Zhao Zheng said, but she just felt that it was not right.

"Ideals are hard to find, so the master's strategy is to make the recognition of obligations as close to unity as possible."

"But unfortunately, habits formed over thousands of years are not so easy to change."

"Hey! I accidentally talked too much. Come and have some tea!"

There was no need for Zhao Zheng to say more about the rest. He believed that Xiaoqing could figure it out herself.

Xiaoqing naturally understood, and she also began to feel the tea in her hands was hot.

The heat is only temporary. Once you drink the tea, the tranquility it brings is the real feeling.

At the same time, she silently recited in her heart, "Great Harmony, Duty, Ideal."

What distinguishes humans from animals is not their sociality or even their social attributes.

What is it.

Zhao Zheng also thought about it for a long time.

He was just a mortal. After decades in this world and dozens of lives, he finally had his own answer.

Why change the world's conventional development?

No, he hasn't changed.

What distinguishes humans from animals is that humans have a stronger ability to seek benefits and avoid harm.

It’s about self-control!

Whether people admit it or not, this is the level they are in now.

The yearning for universal harmony is undeniable. This is the true custom, the rolling tide of the times.

The reality is that it is nothing more than a trade-off between stability and selfishness.

He had seen the best, so why not make it better here too.

On the spiral road, he will do his best to build a straight line!

......

......

......

"Master Ma, what should we do now?"

The same silence is happening simultaneously in different places.

The Wu Eryi case ended faster than anyone expected, and a group of gentry's lackeys couldn't understand why Zhao Zheng was able to react in two places at the same time.

They definitely had enough time, and even if they failed this time, they could properly clean up all the mess and continue next time.

But now, Wu Er, the chess piece, is gone at the speed of light.

The evidence behind it was lost so easily. How did the Zhao family catch up with the pigeon? There was no galloping horse.

As for the subsequent investigation, as long as the emperor is not stupid, he will know to order people to get closer to them.

Evidence is just a matter of time.

"How to do?"

"Now, we only have one solution!"

"Those colleagues who pretended to surrender will commit suicide tonight because of the injustice in the court!"

"As for you all, I believe you should know what to do."

The leading doctor, Lord Ma, glanced at everyone present with indifference.

The implication is clear, needless to say.

Now, they have only two choices: either follow their colleagues and go ahead, or fight to the death in pursuit of a glimmer of hope.

Why did the situation suddenly change from a sure win to this?

No one can figure it out.

But they know why everything started and who caused it.

"So what if it's the Zhao Mansion!"

"He's in the capital, not the imperial city!"

"Compared to the power of our families, the Zhao Mansion only has a few Jinyiwei at most, and the rest are just the elderly, weak, sick, and disabled people who farm and study!"

"Fight them!"

Faced with this last way out, all the doctors of the Qinglisi knew that they had no other way out, and finally became ruthless.

Before the phrase "you die and I die", people are accustomed to adding "either in front or in the middle".

However, the doctor Ma who was in the lead held his hands in the air, while his mind was spinning wildly.

These people had only one way out, but he did not.

Behind these people are gentry from all over the place, but he is not one of them.

He is in charge of the land where the emperor rises, and behind him are all royal relatives.

Therefore, he must not get involved in this obvious mistake.

He must not miss a private plea.

"In this case, all of you colleagues are completely prepared to die, giving up your only hope of survival."

"Master Ma, what does this mean?"

Is there any other way out?

If they win, doesn't that mean there's a glimmer of hope?

Fortunately, there were some smart people among them who quickly figured out the reason.

If they flattened the Zhao Mansion with great fanfare, they would be truly destroying their own city walls.

The emperor's military power is not just a story in a novel; one man can decide the fate of the world.

After all, the several major camps are not just for show, and the Jinyiwei alone may not be able to deal with them.

The Zhao Mansion is a poisonous thorn that will definitely backfire.

I'm afraid that the next moment they flatten the Zhao Mansion, they will be drowned by the saliva of people all over the world.

At the same time, it also played into the emperor's hands.

The Qinglisi is gone, and the Zhao Mansion is gone too.

"Then let's see how brave the Zhao family is! In this world, strength is the key!"

The polite words turned into eye contact.

Who doesn’t have a few assassins?

Even if not, the gentry and wealthy people behind them are inexhaustible.

It can even completely clear their suspicion.

There are endless gentry to kill, but they only have one head.

Doesn't that mean that as long as their heads are still there, the gentry have everything they want?

Coercion, bribery, beauty, pretending to be a ghost, backstabbing...

When your mind changes, the world suddenly becomes wider.

A group of doctors from the Qinglisi began to regret why they had not thought of this before, which led to the trouble they are in now.

It’s a pity that time cannot be reversed.

......

Death soldiers in ancient times were a very mysterious yet real existence. The more the government banned them, the more each family hid them and the more they came up with new tricks.

Therefore, this industry is actually more counterintuitively "prosperous" in prosperous times than in troubled times.

Because although it is easier to deal with this kind of situation in a prosperous era than in a chaotic era, once it is discovered, it will be quickly eliminated and it will not be possible to form a large-scale situation.

However, it also led to its elitism, and this is where the counterintuitive "prosperity" lies.

Because of its elitism, the number of people in each family is very small.

Because of its elitism, it is difficult to find its trace.

Also because of its elitism, it can often only be used for assassination, which is commonly known as assassins.
