" Shu Feng, I'll ask you again, are you coming out?" Li Kai's face was ashen as he gritted his teeth and extended three fingers."I'll count to three. If you still don't come out…"
"What is it called? What is it called?" The wooden door of the courtyard was pushed open, and a fat, round-shaped young man walked out.
As soon as he appeared, he impatiently shook off the two servants in front of him and gestured to his trusted aide beside him. Then, he sneered,"Li, don't be ungrateful. Do you think I'm afraid of you? Do you know who I am? I'm the owner of the Qing Dynasty's Yellow Flag, the top scholar personally conferred by Emperor Guangxu. If you dare to talk to me like this, if this were to happen more than ten years ago, I would have punished you for being disrespectful and sinking your heart into the canal!”
" Shut the f * ck up," Li Kai exhaled deeply,""I'm too lazy to talk nonsense with you. You instructed others to kill innocent civilians on the streets.”
"Men, arrest this lawless villain.”Li Kai immediately called out to his left and right to capture them.
After the two Great Wall Guards received the order, they put away their rifles and carried them on their backs. They strode out of the formation and headed straight for Shu Feng.
The group of servants gathered together at the same time and protected Shu Feng. They brandished their sticks and roared fiercely,"Let's see who dares to touch our master?”
"You're armed to resist arrest. Do you know that this will bring you jail time?”Li Kai looked at the group of servants with a warning look.
A hint of hesitation and fear flashed in the eyes of some of the servants, but it was quickly filled with ruthlessness."Cut the crap. Our master didn't do anything wrong. That lowlife is courting death.”
"He was the one who sold that piece of land to our master a few years ago. It was written clearly in black and white, but this fellow did not abide by the spirit of the contract and pestered us for it.”
"Our master didn't want to cause trouble, so he tolerated it a few times. However, he threatened the women in our master's house. How can you blame our master?"
" Hehe," Lin Shu, who had rushed over, could not help but laugh when he saw this scene. He squeezed into the crowd and patted Li Kai's shoulder, revealing a disappointed expression,""You've already killed him, and the dead can't testify. You naturally have to say whatever you want, but is that really the case?”
A servant stepped forward and patted his chest arrogantly."Of course. Our master has a noble status. Not to mention that he was appointed as the top scholar by Emperor Guangxu, his family has been passed down for nearly 300 years. His ancestors were even the Yellow Flag General under the founding prince.”
"You're a True Yellow Flag? I'm a Han citizen?"
Lin Shu couldn't help but cover his face and laugh. The previous dynasty had been destroyed for a few years. How could they still have such old ideas?
He shook his head with a smile on his face. He did not want to waste time with this group of people."Let's go and take the dead with us.”
"What? Are we just going to let them go?" Zhang Xingzhong was stunned and blurted out.
" We'll talk about this when we get back." Lin Shu waved his hand and pulled everyone away. When they walked out of the corner of the alley, he turned to look at Shu Feng and smiled meaningfully.
In the 1st Division headquarters.
Lin Shu sat on the chair and ate the cold fried noodles." Li Kai, what do you think we should do?"”
Li Kai knew that he was not doing his job well, so he did not dare to sit down. Instead, he stood at the side timidly like a child who had made a mistake.
" Hmm…" He pondered for a long time, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead."We should do our best to investigate the cause of the deceased's death and prove his innocence.”
" Well said," Lin Shu continued to wolf down the fried noodles and asked in a muffled voice,""Xingzhong, what do you think?"
"Investigate the truth and then punish Shu Feng and his henchmen strictly according to the law.”Zhang Xingzhong couldn't figure out what his commander meant at the moment. He thought for a moment and said.
" You're right." Lin Shu finished the last mouthful of fried noodles, wiped his mouth, and downed the warm tea in one gulp.
"Li Kai, you didn't do well in this matter. I admit that you are excellent in military affairs, but in other aspects, you are far from good.”
"And you, Xingzhong, when doing things, you must first understand what kind of goal we want to achieve by doing this.”
"According to you, we investigated the death of the deceased to punish Yu Shufeng, but we punished Yu Shufeng, so why should we investigate?”
"Isn't this neglecting the essentials and pursuing the trifles? What if the victim was really the one who had killed him first, and he had no choice but to kill him to protect himself?”
These words stunned Zhang Xingzhong and Li Kai. The two of them scratched their ears and cheeks, staring at each other.
"Li Kai, does Shu Feng deserve to die?" Lin Shu smiled. Should we deal with him?"
This time, Li Kai answered without hesitation,""Yes!"
"Then Xingzhong, why do you think we should get rid of Shu Feng?”Lin Shu asked again.
"Because he has committed many crimes, committed crimes, and harmed human lives. No matter what the real reason for this incident is, he, Shu Feng, has no right to take the lives of others.”Zhang Xingzhong replied without hesitation.
" You're right." Lin Shu nodded. The peaceful smile on his face did not diminish, but his evaluation of the two had been greatly reduced.
"First of all, we have to get rid of Shu Feng, and we have to get rid of him. The reason is as you said, he has no respect for the law and has harmed people's lives.”
"But this is only a reason, not a reason or an objective. Remember, reasons and reasons are not the same thing.”
" The reason is that Central China doesn't need nobles, powerful families, or privileged classes. Whoever dares to do this must be dealt with.”
"The goal is to break the monopoly class that has existed in Zhongxia for 5,000 years. We will divide the land equally among the people and return the lives of the people. We will establish a new society that is legal, fair, and just.”
"Alright, since we have a goal, let's think of a way to achieve it.”
"In this matter, whether it was the victim who brought this upon himself or Shu Feng who harmed the lives of others, it is no longer important. What is important is that this person is a typical representative of the privileged class of aristocrats.”
"He's the first obstacle to our goal. It doesn't matter if they die or not.”
"If this group of people exists, regardless of whether they do anything evil, Central China will never be able to rise again and become great!”
"Do you understand?" Lin Shu stopped smiling and gave them no time to think. He ordered,""Xingzhong, pass on my order. All divisions stop the expansion plan and focus on attacking the landlord aristocrats and privileged class in their respective defense zones. If they cooperate obediently, we can leave them a way out.”
He originally did not want to touch those people so early. He originally wanted to wait until he unified the entire country, then use the remaining power of the founding of the country to suppress them.
However, there were always people who would jump out and joke about the Chinese people.
