I am a pirate in Ming Dynasty

"Xiaoyu, your name is Xiaoyu!"

Wearing patchwork clothes, a pretty, innocent and lovely girl picked up the debris on the table, her brisk expression filled with youthful atmosphere.

Tang Yusheng walked a few steps with difficulty, his face was still extremely pale, and his useless body made him extremely disgusted.

"Hey, stop moving around. You just drank the medicine, so you should go to bed and rest."

The girl was obviously dissatisfied with the boy's actions. She pushed Tang Yusheng onto the bed with open arms. When she turned to leave, she did not forget to warn: "You can't go to the ground casually anymore. The doctor said you have to rest. No wind can blow."

"I worked so hard to bring you back here so that you can live a leisurely life. When you get better, if you don't help my family farm the land, let's see how I deal with you."

Raising her delicate fist, the girl took the bowls and chopsticks and left.

Father Zhang outside the door was chopping firewood and said to the girl: "Hua'er, just be kind. When you came back from the river carrying this guy on your back, everyone in the village saw it. Let's see how you get married in the future. go out."

Zhang Hua'er squatted beside the water tank with bowls and chopsticks in hand, and replied with a smile: "Why are you still married? Isn't it nice to stay at home and take care of you?"

"Hmph!" Zhang's father glared at her and scolded: "Are you telling me not to get married? I'm very young and I don't need you to take care of me."

Zhang Hua'er didn't say anything but washed the dishes and chopsticks in his hands. The sound of rushing water could not hide the strangeness in the girl's heart.

In the next more than a month, Tang Yusheng gradually improved his health with the help of Zhang Hua'er. The girl was very kind and gentle and did not ask about his identity at all.

The world seemed so beautiful, and Tang Yusheng's already dead heart once again ignited the hope of rebirth at this time.

The Zhang family is not wealthy and has no extra output except a few acres of irrigated land.

Zhang's father worked as a handyman for wealthy families during the off-season, and Zhang Hua'er sometimes made some female celebrities to sell to make money. But after Tang Yusheng became a sick man, Zhang Huaer couldn't save any money.

Sometimes, Tang Yusheng could see Zhang Huaer sighing as he stared at his deflated little purse. Whenever Zhang Huaer saw the head sticking out from behind, she would clenched her little fists fiercely and said, "It's all your fault. I can't even save the money for my dowry. If you don't earn this money back for me after you get better, I will throw you into the river again."

Time flies by in such a happy time. If possible, Tang Yusheng really wants to live naturally. Maybe he will marry Zhang Huaer and have several children...

But the beauty in the world will always be broken by sudden accidents.

It was not until the end of the second year of Jiajing that Zhang Huaer's younger brother, who had not been home for several years, suddenly came back.

The village was quiet late at night, and the occasional barking of dogs could not stop the rush of pedestrians. The Zhang family's yard is not big, and even the walls of the yard can only block a person. If you are taller, you can still see the yard through the wall.

Zhang Ying was born tall and strong. He inherited Zhang's father's strength and strength. He often got into trouble when he was young. If he hadn't been protected by his sister, his legs would have been broken by Zhang's father.

A few years ago, because he refused to obey Zhang's father's discipline, he followed several strong men in the village and defected to the Zhou family. It is said that he is doing evil and misbehaving in the outside world, which makes the Zhang family even more embarrassed in the neighborhood.

Occasionally when Zhang Hua'er mentioned his younger brother, Zhang's father would angrily curse: "My family is unfortunate, my family is unfortunate!"

Also because of the reputation, Zhang Hua'er was obviously an older girl of eighteen years old and still pretty, but no matchmaker dared to propose marriage.

Zhang Huaer carried Tang Yusheng back from the river, partly because of his kindness, and partly because of his good looks. Zhang Hua'er had a little thought here. If she really couldn't get married, she would let the man she picked up be the one to step in.

After Zhang Huaer informed Zhang's father who was awakened by the news of Zhang Ying's return, Zhang's father chased Zhang Ying with a broom and beat him for a long time.

The peaceful village was completely shattered by Zhang Ying's return.

……

Time returns to the present, it is night, and countless government officials and police officers are all over the city searching for the criminals during the day.

It is also widely known that people were killed in the street under the blue sky and in broad daylight. An unknown assailant rose up and chopped off the heads of two people.

What shocked the scholars who traveled around the city was that countless government officials appeared in Qufu County, which was usually deserted. These people were all well-trained and enforced orders. The matter of catching the murderer suddenly caused a stir in the city.

This shocked many Confucian scholars who came to the county government office to report the case during the day. There was no one in the county government office? Where did Qufu come from with so many official officials?

Is Qufu just the Qufu of the Confucius family?

Although many people don't want to admit this reality, the reality swells their faces.

Here we have to talk about the county magistrate of Qufu. The county magistrate of Qufu is served by a branch of the Confucius family. He is usually just an idle errand. He has the name of Yan Shenggong. What is the importance of this mere county magistrate?

Perhaps the only convenient thing is to keep his Kong family's lackeys.

As long as they are not stupid, these Confucian scholars can basically understand that there is a shadow of the Confucius family behind the county government's behavior, but none of them spoke up for those innocent passers-by during the day.

Today, when literati are in power, they are all vested interests. This is the reality.

Silence is the catalyst for conniving evildoers. While a big shot in the Kong family was angry, the property that originally belonged to the Zhou family was secretly annexed by another family.

In the desolate no-man's land outside the city, in the empty black forest, there was a figure walking around. Fortunately, no one was wandering outside the city at this time. If he saw this figure, he would be scared to death.

This place is commonly known as mass graves. There are small mounds of soil every foot high. Occasionally, you can see a few white sails hanging on these mounds, as if there are still people paying homage to the dead.

The black shadow stumbled around, and under the mottled moonlight, only his side face could be vaguely seen.

I saw the black figure constantly groping in the dark night, and did not stop until it found a body in a weed field.

Following the moonlight, the shadow could only see clearly that the corpse's hands were completely broken off.

"Hey, your death is too tragic," the shadow turned the body over. Under the pale moonlight, half of the human face was bloody and bruised, with wounds so deep that the bones were visible. The blood was mixed with the mud and dyed a little brownish red, black and white. Shadow picked up the body and started walking in the forest step by step.

"Why are you so heavy when you die? It's really tiring to carry you. Maybe it's just like what your sister said. The strong back and strong waist are inherited from your family."

"But how come your sister is so beautiful? She looks nothing like you or Uncle Zhang."

"But your sister's hand strength does have the tradition of your Zhang family. Once I went to work in the fields before I recovered from an illness, and ended up hurting my arm. When your sister massaged me, it felt so sore, that's all. The strength of my hand almost caused me a second injury."

"But your sister still has feelings for me after all, and I can't treat her like that."

The black shadow choked up a little as he spoke, and moved forward step by step with trembling legs. In the forest where ghost fires occasionally rose, he didn't even feel the slightest bit scared.

"Your sister is the best person I have ever met. She didn't know me as a passerby at all, and she actually carried me back from the river, just like I carried you. Hey, looking back on this, your sister seemed like Just a powerful person.”

"I am just a poor person who was washed away by the river, but your sister always treats me like a relative. She is such a good person. I have always thought that an unknown person like me is not worthy of being loved. Your sister The appearance of it changed my original intention.”

"If your sister hadn't relented and kicked you out that night, wouldn't she have died?"

"My world is all black and white. Your sister gave me hope for life and gave me color. I wanted to marry her at that time. Even if she was the one who stepped in the door, I wouldn't care."

"The mistake you made, why did you want to affect your sister?"

"When this scumbag Zhou Zhiyun came to the Zhang family to collect debts, why didn't you think about the consequences? It would have been better for you to run away at that time. Why did you let your sister stand in front of you while you ran away? "

"Do you know what your sister said to me before she died? Find you and take care of you."

"Ha! You are the younger brother and the second person in this family who can protect your sister. How did you escape? I know, your sister said that you were young, gambling and debt-ridden, and that you were on the wrong path. As long as you can change The prodigal son can still turn around."

"She has good intentions towards everyone, but the fault is that she is too beautiful. I have told you about the scene that day. Speaking of which, I, a useless person, can't help. "

Tears from the corners of his eyes flowed down the hair and stuck to his cheeks, but the black figure was still chatting empty-handedly with the corpse.

"Your sister was raped right in front of me, but I didn't even have the strength to fight back. Your father was holding a hatchet and trying to fight her, but his head was blown off on the spot, and his blood was mixed with white..."

"I was knocked unconscious with a stick. Maybe it was because my face was covered in blood. They thought I was dead and left me alone. When I woke up, the house was full of fire, and your sister was dead. Lying still on the ground, your father's body has been infected with fire."

"I wanted to drag your sister away, but your sister is a strong person. She didn't know where she got the strength to push me out of the room and let me find you and take you to live well. She herself, hug me I knelt on the ground crying with Uncle Zhang's body, you know? I watched her being burned bit by bit with my own eyes."

"Do you know how I laughed at you when you came back like a coward? But you were a bit bloody and went to seek revenge on the Zhou family, but in the end all the fingers on both hands were chopped off!"

As the shadow man spoke, he stopped when he saw a familiar place and put the body on his back. When he could still see the severed fingers in the moonlight, he smiled and said: "Hey, look at it. This can be considered your medal."

The shadow man took the shovel that had been hidden behind the tree and started digging.

"Later, I went to see you, but you were already crazy. I don't know what kind of torture you suffered in the Zhou family, but I think you deserve it. How can you go unpunished if you do something wrong? Your sister left I laid you down and you were punished, your father kept you and was punished, so how can you not be punished if you run away?"

"Bah, the dust here is really big. I really don't want to bury you next to your sister, but I'm worried that your sister will talk about you down there, so I'd better bury you here."

"My real name is Tang Yusheng. I learned killing skills from my adoptive father since I was a child. My adoptive father said that I was picked up, but I carry a family genealogy and a jade pendant. According to the genealogy, my ancestor is a nobleman of Tianhuang, and he is the same as someone from the Tang Dynasty. He is a direct descendant."

"But what about Tianhuang nobles? It's very difficult to live in this world. My adoptive father passed away a long time ago. Later, I wandered around the world because I was not good at studying and was defrauded of all my money. I originally wanted to commit suicide by jumping into the river. If your sister hadn’t picked me up, I might have died long ago.”

"When I decided to assassinate Zhou Zhiyun today, I wasn't really sure, but I was sure that I could use big things to lure the Zhou family out. Hey, guess what, there are two bullies in the Zhou family, one big and one small. They all showed up.”

"But they brought too many people. It's not easy to assassinate them in this situation. I deliberately got a stick, but I didn't expect these people to be so cruel. I almost fainted from the pain, but I made the right bet. , Zhou Zhiyun, a scumbag, will never let go of the opportunity to take action."

"But he didn't expect that even if I received the most vicious beating, the killing knife in my arms would never be exposed."

"When I chopped off his head with one knife, do you know how surprised he was in his eyes? It's a pity that you went first at that time, otherwise you would have clapped your hands and applauded."

"Then I took advantage of the fact that no one could react, jumped up to a distance of more than ten meters, and directly chopped off the head of King Zhou Yama. Hehe, they still couldn't catch me."

The shadow man felt that the pit was almost dug, so he laid the body flat and put it in, and then slowly filled it with soil.

"You, just stay here with your sister and your father. I made a mistake about what your sister asked me to do. Please help me apologize to your sister when you get down."

"You should also be filial to your father and be kind to your sister. They have not sorry for you. You owe them."

……

When the soil was all covered, a wordless tombstone was erected in front of the grave.

The black shadow slowly sat in front of the tombstone next to him and wrote in regular script small characters: The tomb of his late wife Tang Zhang.

He stroked the tombstone, with a slow sadness in his eyes: "I'm leaving, I'm really leaving. I'm afraid I won't be able to come back to see you in the future. I didn't follow your last words before you died. I hope you don't blame me!"

"You are so kind, you probably just hold your purse and ask me to return it to you!"

"I will pay you back in the next life... In this life, I will use the life you gave me to live well!"

Before leaving, he kissed the cold tombstone before staggering towards the world.

Early the next morning, in Yancheng County, Huai'an Prefecture, the crazy Taoist priest who was meditating in the backyard suddenly went crazy. There was nothing wrong with this hexagram, but how could it be possible?

Qin Shang was so disturbed by the mad Taoist that he could no longer practice his inner breath, so he opened his eyes and looked at the mad Taoist angrily.

The crazy Taoist priest looked at Qin Shang, waved his hand and said: "Don't stare at me, I'm here to tell your fortune. Do you know that the divination says that a Tianhuang Guiwei has come from the north? It also says that this noble man will be here in the future." Assist you in ascending to the throne!"

Madman, Qin Shang rolled his eyes, why bother? Will the sole emperor of Jiajing give up his position as emperor?
