I'm a bully in troubled times

"Because the historian wanted to write down what you did, so you killed them and didn't allow it to be written, right?" As expected by Jiang Yu, Qi Ranming was really angry about it.

"Ranming, you know, I can't let him write." Jiang Yu explained in a low voice.

Qi Ranming: "What's wrong with the Ji family?"

"..." Jiang Yu: "...I can't let this matter get out."

"Because you care about your reputation?" Qi Ranming asked.

Fame?Perhaps, no one wants to be accused by thousands of people, scolded by future generations, saying that he is a traitor and a traitor.

Moreover, it was spread that he was not easy to do business with Marquis Yan.After all, what he said in front of Marquis Yan was to help Marquis Jin eradicate traitors and regain power.If word spread that he killed Ji Mengming, Marquis Yan would have doubts about him and lose trust.

If it was just that Ji Mengming was killed, he could still get away with it.

But these reasons are like excuses to Qi Ranming at the moment, because they can't change the innocence of dozens of members of the Ji family.They just stick to their duty, uphold their responsibilities, and want to write down things truthfully.

In fact, in this era, the official historian was a mysterious official position with the nature of theocracy.

Therefore, even if an ordinary monarch did something wrong and was recorded by the historian, no monarch would kill the historian.

Jiang Yu can be said to have set a precedent.

Still a precedent for such bloody cruelty.

For a long time, Jiang Yu has shown many of his unique ideas, which are very special, different from popular customs, and transcendent.He said that people should cherish themselves and put their lives first. He said that even slaves are no different from nobles, regardless of high or low.

Therefore, Qi Ranming has always believed that no matter what Jiang Yu does, he will have his own bottom line. Even if he sometimes does something that seems wrong, he still has his reasons.He will not play with human life, and will not wantonly trample on others.

But what Jiang Yu did this time exceeded Qi Ranming's understanding of him.

"I thought you were different from Ji Zhong, Ying Xi and other ambitious people who play tricks on power." Qi Ranming looked at Jiang Yu and said.

Jiang Yu heard disappointment and incomprehension from it.

"Ranming," Jiang Yu looked into Qi Ranming's eyes, and said slowly and seriously, "In this era, no one can guarantee that their hands are clean, and no one can guarantee that their hearts are free from mud and dirt."

"I'm just an ordinary person."

"Besides, Ji Lu is not innocent." Jiang Yu said, "He participated in this struggle and hid Ji Mengming in the mansion. The most hateful thing is that he didn't stop Ji Mengming from treating you like that, but let it go. I I wanted to get rid of him that day."

"Don't you feel that you are too hostile now," Qi Ranming said, "Even if Ji Lu is not innocent, what about the others?"

Jiang Yu: "Once involved in a struggle, who will be spared? Since Ji Lu voluntarily did so, from the day he took Ji Mengming in, he should have this awareness."

"So you decided to be like Ji Zhong and Ying Xi?" Qi Ranming asked.

like them?

How is he different from them?

Jiang Yu suddenly felt confused again, he was just following the general trend of the world.

"...If I let them write it down and announce it to the world, how should I reply to Marquis Yan?"

"You don't know how to reply to Marquis Yan, so it's worth using their lives to protect you?" Qi Ranming's voice suddenly became severe.

"I said, I didn't kill the women's family members and children!" Jiang Yu also became a little angry.

"So you, Mr. Sui Yang, think you are innocent?" Qi Ranming suddenly laughed out of anger, and asked softly.

"I'm not innocent." Jiang Yu said word by word, "I never feel innocent."

"From a boy whose parents both died to now, I became the well-known Lord of Suiyang, all of which were accumulated with human lives."

"I admit that I started the matter of the Ji Mansion. I was the one who first proposed to let Zhao Di kill them. From this point of view, the deaths of the women's family members and children... are indeed related to me."

"But you can't help it?"

Jiang Yu was silent for a moment when he heard that.

Jiang Yu's battle to become famous, that is, the battle that followed Yan Hou to destroy Zhongshan Kingdom, Jiang Yu will never forget it in his life.

Because that was the first time he had killed so many people with his own hands.

Before that, he usually just gave orders and let the people below do it for him.

After that battle, he made his name known and was given a title and land.But after that battle, he also had nightmares for a long time, and he didn't like meat for a long time.

The smell of blood lingered all over his body, accompanied him into dreams, and couldn't be washed off.

It's like Ji's mansion is bleeding all over the ground.

Jiang Yu doesn't like to use swords, but uses silver needles more. When a silver needle penetrates, it can kill a person, but it won't cut a person's body full of blood like a sword, and even splash on him.He knew it seemed hypocritical and mean, but he really hated the smell of blood.

"Your parents are both dead, but no one else will live a happier life than you except you." Qi Ranming said, "I have never seen a few complete families in so many years. You have worked hard, It's not easy, no one has it easy."

"They also worked very hard to survive, but because of such a simple reason, because of your words, they were easily killed."

"You say that Ying Xi and I are not high or low, so are you nobler than others? Do dozens of people in the Ji Mansion have low rank?"

This was probably the first time such a dispute broke out since the two got along.It was only then that Jiang Yu realized that no matter what their relationship was, quarrels would always be unavoidable.

Jiang Yu didn't want to quarrel with Qi Ranming, so she took a deep breath, suppressed the irritability in her heart, and said, "I didn't mean that, and I don't think I'm nobler than others."

"This time, let's stop here, you have a good rest."

After Jiang Yu finished speaking, he stood up.

In fact, Qi Ranming didn't want to argue with him either.But as soon as he thinks about the tragedy that happened in the Ji Mansion, he feels irresistible.

He was never an impulsive person, never a good person.If it was Zhao Di who did this, at most he would feel disgusted at Zhao Di, feel pity for Ji Shi, and kill Zhao Di if he had the chance.

But it was Jiang Yu who did this.

It was Jiang Yu, who he always thought was a benevolent and principled official, who was far more disappointed than angry.

"You don't think you're wrong at all?"

"Wrong?" Jiang Yu turned around and said, "What's wrong with me?"

"I'm just making the best choice."

"Your choice of interests has already lost your humanity." Qi Ranming said.

Jiang Yu: "Do you want me to be a kind and pure person? Don't you think this is too ridiculous?"

With power in hand, who can be kind all the time?What's more, as a person in power, especially in this era, is kindness a good thing?

Qi Ranming retorted almost immediately: "What's so ridiculous about being kind and pure?"

"Don't you think it's too difficult to be a human being? How can a kind and pure person survive?"

At this point, Jiang Yu suddenly found that their conversation had deviated from the original meaning, and their understanding of each other had deviated.

Jiang Yu withdrew his gaze, looked at the peach blossoms falling all over the ground outside the door, and unconsciously lowered his voice: "It's meaningless to talk about this now."

"I just don't want you to be like this again."

Jiang Yu moved his lips: "Who knows what will happen in the future?"

After Jiang Yu finished speaking, he didn't stay any longer, turned around and went out.

The news of Jiang Yu and Qi Ranming's quarrel quickly spread.After all, Qi Ranming was sitting on the grand teacher's chair at the door, and Jiang Yu was next to him. In front of the two of them was the courtyard, which could be seen from outside the courtyard door.

Since the birthday banquet ended, envoys from various countries have left one after another, and the post house has gradually become empty.Jiang Yu went to Yanhou for a report, saying that he was injured and could not get up for the time being, and would stay in Quwoduo for a few days, and Yanhou agreed.So now the most lively part of the posthouse is the area of ​​Yan Country, and the whole posthouse knows about any disturbance.

What's more, the matter between Jiang Yu and Qi Ranming has always caused many people to speculate.They are so close, and Jiang Yu is so considerate to Qi Ranming, why did they quarrel today?

"I bet Sui Yang Jun changed his mind, there are people outside, bet a lot of money."

"No, it may be that Xun Zhengzheng is urging the marriage again, and Brother Ming is not happy."

"Brother Ming is not such a stingy person, maybe it was last night..."

"Roll, what are you pretending to be in your mind?"

Several people who were talking suddenly heard a cough, and when they looked back, it was Gongsun Ke.He hurriedly acted as if nothing had happened, and stood in a row to say hello to Gongsun Ke.

Gongsun Ke made a face, glanced around the crowd, and said: "What to do, don't chew the master's tongue here."

"Yes." Several people said in unison, and ran away in a hurry.

After driving them away, Gongsun Ke looked at Jiang Yu who was sitting under the peach tree.

Since the quarrel with Qi Ranming, Jiang Yu has been sitting there, as if thinking about something.

Gongsun Ke couldn't help feeling a little headache.What Gongsun Ke was most afraid of was not Jiang Yu getting angry, but being in a daze, motionless, like now.His head couldn't figure out what Jiang Yu was thinking, he only knew that it was something complicated, the kind he couldn't understand.

Gongsun Ke sometimes felt that his master was too thoughtful, and it was better to take things lightly.But as a subordinate, he couldn't say such words bluntly.

Of course, Gongsun Ke stood by Jiang Yu's side unconditionally, and he muttered in his heart: I don't know which guy went to Qi Ranming to gossip, and Qi Ranming heard it. He obviously remembered Jiang Yu's orders and didn't say a word.

As for Gongsun Ke, the two of them must be arguing about the Ji Mansion.

But Qi Ranming really didn't understand his master's situation at all.

Gongsun Ke thought about it, then raised his head, and saw Jiang Yu covering his face with a book, leaning his head against the back of the chair, looking distressed.He sighed, feeling that as Jiang Yu's confidant, he should be more considerate, so he stepped forward, bent down and called out in a low voice, "My lord."

Jiang Yu remained motionless.

"grown ups?"

Jiang Yu turned a deaf ear.

Gongsun Ke carefully and boldly uncovered the book on Jiang Yu's face, only to find that he was asleep with his eyes closed.

Gongsun Ke: "..."

Gongsun Ke held the book in his hand, and it was not right to cover Jiang Yu's face again for a while, nor was it to take it away.

After Jiang Yu left, Qi Ranming sat on the teacher's chair and felt a little bored.In fact, his intention was not to quarrel with Jiang Yu, but for some reason, both of them became angry while talking.

Jiang Yu didn't think he was wrong, and of course he didn't think he was wrong either.So an apology is impossible to apologize for.

If Jiang Yu wants a cold war, then he should be cold. Killing innocent people indiscriminately is justified.
