I Heard I've Been Dead For Thousand Years

Chapter 356: Guilt and Stubbornness

After that, only Shen Mengzhou slowly said:

"Back then, decades ago, I hadn't entered the realm of the gods, nor had I become a profound master of protecting the country. I just walked through the rivers and lakes after training from my brother in Wushuang City, and gained the title of dream killing sword immortal. My confidant, Ren Pingsheng."

"Back then, I walked the rivers and lakes, and I didn't want to rely more on my seniors, and I didn't want to rely more on the power of Wushuang City. Even the entanglement on my body was mostly earned by doing some famous bounty posts."

"Until one day, I received a bounty sticker from the imperial court and asked me to kill one person. It was the ritual and music master of the dynasty, a Confucian scholar who left Hongtian prison to become an official."

"I didn't understand why the court paid a bounty to kill a civil official. Later, I learned that because of a different political opinion from the court, this person had repeatedly forced remonstrances and petitions for the people, offending the court, the powerful, and the emperor. "

"I didn't care about this at the time. Anyway, this bounty post was upright. Although this post was secretly posted, it was also posted by the court. It is said that the kings and ministers have to die."

"The imperial court can't find out the evidence of that person's crimes and get rid of him, nor can he be killed directly on unwarranted charges, which is detrimental to the imperial reputation. So the following posts asked people from the rivers and lakes to do such dirty things."

"Anyway, in the end, there are officials from the court, and they are not afraid of accidents. Afterwards, the court will launch a post-poster as a scapegoat for negligence of duty. I also went to kill that person and received a bounty because I thought about it. "

"Later, I happened to see that my confidant and friend Ren Pingsheng was actually wearing filial piety for that person in the man's house, and I found out after asking others.

"The person I killed was Ren Pingsheng's music teacher, and even his enlightenment and teaching master."

"I used to listen to Ren Pingsheng talking about his teacher before, with a lot of respect and admiration in his words, and his emotions are like a master like a father."

"But whenever I asked who his teacher was, he used his teacher as an official in the court. It is not easy to say that he has too close a relationship with the people of the world, and he has repeatedly avoided the name of avoiding suspicion. I never said, so I don’t know if that person is the teacher he has always respected."

"When I knew all of this, I knew that he had a very good relationship with his teacher, and at the same time I knew that I made a big mistake. From then on, I had no face to see him, and kept avoiding him, and never picked up. Any bounty stickers, returned to Wushuang City for meditation, and soon broke into the mysterious realm, and my senior brother arranged an errand as a protector of the country."

"Yesterday I also found out where he was early, so I left first, and I knew he was here, wherever he was, it must be safe, and I did not ignore your safety, so I let you go first. I made a detour. Wait ahead."

After Shen Mengzhou finished speaking, Lin Meng sighed in his heart, saying that Shen Mengzhou made a big mistake unintentionally, but Ren Pingsheng is a rare person who can understand and will not be held accountable, but Shen Mengzhou has been upright and has been guilty and unable to let go. This misunderstanding has only continued to this day. .

Lin Meng also knows a little bit about the bounty stickers on the rivers and lakes. This kind of system is still there, whether it is a thousand years later or a thousand years ago, and it is still spreading. He also did a few such businesses back then.

This bounty sticker is the source of money for most of the arena and casual repairs. The nature is similar to the commissioned killer sect, but the work done is not as dirty as that. If there is dirty work that goes against the spirit of righteousness, no one will dare. Openly sent out, or openly accepted.

The content of this bounty post is mostly wanted for some gangsters, or revenge posts for those who have grudges.

Of course, with the exception of the court, the courts of the past are the most confusing forces in the world. It can be described as a mixture of good and evil, acting entirely on the will of those in power.

And just like Shen Mengzhou's picking up, there have always been a lot of things that his own forces want to kill his own people and fight in the nest. Most people in the arena only take money, and others are less concerned.

The court and the rivers and lakes are always separated. The rules of the right way and the magic way in the rivers and lakes cannot be substituted into the court. The supremacy of the imperial power in the court and the level of officials who crush people to death cannot be substituted into the rivers and lakes.

Therefore, most of the people in the arena are just like Shen Mengzhou back then, and they don't care about what the target person is guilty of, whether he should die, whether it is an upright official or a corrupt official, this is the matter of the court itself, not a matter of the arena.

There are even many people, just like Shen Mengzhou, who do not carefully investigate the identity and background of the other party. They only make a choice by paying attention to whether the strength and defense of the target person can succeed.

In the eyes of the world, the court has always had nothing to do with the arena, and even the court evades it in every possible way to prevent the intervention of the arena.

Officials who have ties to the people in the arena will be suppressed or even not appointed when appointed, in order to maintain the absolute rule of the imperial power, at least in this court.

And this time, it happened that Ren Pingsheng had been avoiding suspicion and taboo, it was the relationship between the court and the arena!

In Lin Meng's view, this series of misunderstandings and cover-ups was precisely the culprit for this!

Lin Meng let out a sigh, and persuaded:

"Master Shen don't have to worry. This matter is not the fault of Lord Shen alone, but the fault of the court, it is the fault of the world, and even Mr. Ren has repeatedly avoided suspicion of concealing this relationship from Lord Shen, which is somewhat at fault."

"Presumably Mr. Ren has always regretted that he shouldn't conceal this relationship from you at the beginning, and he is in the same mood as Mr. Shen. Why should Mr. Shen torture himself and torturing his confidant? Why not treat each other frankly again, and drink the wine again. Where is Yan Huan?"

Shen Mengzhou was silent for a while before opening his mouth and slowly sighed:

"Let's talk about it, when I think about it someday, I will see him again."

Shen Mengzhou's tone this time was a bit tired.

Lin Meng could hear that it was not physical exhaustion and fatigue, but mental exhaustion. The renewal of old things made Shen Mengzhou's mind relapse, and his mind was exhausted.

Lin Meng sighed, Xin Dao Ren Ping is worthy of Shen Mengzhou's confidant, and he knows this person the most, and he said he could not persuade him.

However, after this conversation, Lin Meng tried his best, and he had a clear conscience. He deserved to be half a friend of Shen Mengzhou, and he deserved to be so kind to Ren Pingsheng.

I also understood Shen Mengzhou a little better, and for Lin Meng, it was not a bad thing.

At this point, Lin Meng tried his best, so he stopped talking, silently re-started the road, and flew towards Dongzhou. Shen Mengzhou was also silent along the way. He followed Lin Meng's body and said nothing.

After another half day of doing this, in the night, dark clouds rolled over, covering the stars and the moon, and a heavy rain came suddenly.

Lin Meng saw that the rain was extremely heavy. If he walked in the heavy rain, he would have to urge his true energy to avoid the rain, which was a lot of loss. So he found a forest nearby and hid in the logger’s hut for a night. .
