Simulates history, but Chongzhen is the Divine Emperor at the beginning

Chapter 17 Only magic can defeat magic!

You are determined to get to the bottom of this matter with a desperate heart. Even if you are killed by these corrupt officials again, you are not afraid.

[You can restart your life anyway. You don't care about the slide that others can't touch: I can restart my life, so why should I put up with this shit? Who's such a coward when restarting their life?! Damn, I'm going to slam Meituan!]

[You dare to touch the slide that others dare not touch! You dare to report the crimes that others dare not report! You dare to touch the interests that others dare not touch!]

[Execute first and ask for permission later, imperial authorization... This is the confidence that the simulator gives you, and the main feature is stubbornness!]

To this end, you also try to increase your own weight as much as possible: for example, by receiving a letter of commendation from the Shaanxi prefect, by explicitly stating that you are very influential in the Shaanxi literary world, by representing "all Shaanxi students" in your personal capacity, and by expanding your own personal story to encompass the entire student body...

[Anyway, you've done your best to put on as many layers of tiger skin as possible, hoping to create a certain psychological deterrent for the governor, forcing him to take you seriously!]

[However, you still underestimated the resistance...]

"You little brat, you're talking nonsense! Get out of here!"

The guards were indeed startled by your display of arrogance, but upon hearing that you were going to thoroughly investigate the provincial examination issues and report the Xi'an prefectural government's complicity, their expressions changed instantly!

After a round of scolding, facing the glaring cold sword light, you could only leave in hatred: It's not that you're afraid of death, but dying at the hands of the guards is meaningless. It won't even achieve the effect of splashing blood all over the governor's face...

[It's obvious that these guards must know some of these things, and this also shatters your last bit of luck.]

"The Governor is their protective umbrella!"

Your heart goes cold: What should I do? What else can I do now?

In the dark reality, you are but a five-year-old child. Your status as the top scholar and the influence your few articles have brought you may be impressive enough to ordinary people, but in the eyes of a high-ranking official like the Provincial Governor, it is clearly not enough for him to take seriously.

What should you do? Continue your meaningless pursuit of justice that doesn't exist, or return to your hometown in northern Shaanxi in disgrace?

【you do not know……】

[Ding! In the darkness of reality, you are confused about the future and don't know what to do. Your choice: (?) Please formulate your own strategy!]

"Formulate your own strategy?"

Zhou Liang stroked his chin:
"It seems like I really don't know what to do..."

This is actually quite normal, because "Zhou Liang" is set to be just a newbie who has traveled through time for a few years. At this stage, his abilities have not yet grown, and of course he cannot compare to the original Lao Deng.

In other words, the fact that Zhou Liang has been able to fight his way to this point is largely due to the simulator. Without the simulator, he wouldn't have made it this far, so now he can only rely on his main body to carry him forward...

"But...I don't actually have any particularly good solutions."

Zhou Liang felt helpless:

A good cook cannot cook without rice. Now, the "other self" has no other cards except the identity of a scholar and some fame.

In this kind of situation, it’s useless even if Lao Deng comes!

“We can only leave…”

Zhou Liang frowned:

His advice was to focus on growth for now. If possible, he hoped his "other self" would return home and study hard. Then, when he finally passed the imperial examination on his own, it wouldn't be too late to make plans. Just like "Master" had said, under normal circumstances, you can't always be targeted, right? You'll pass the exam eventually.

However, the thief does not allow...

"Thief..."

Zhou Liang was very troubled:

Now going back is naturally the best option, but "Li Laiheng" and his gang insist that he pass the imperial examination this year and then assassinate the Shaanxi Provincial Governor, otherwise they will kill his entire family!
This directly blocked Zhou Liang's retreat.

"If I go back, I'll die. If I continue to report, I'll also die. And my death will be meaningless..."

There is a wolf in front and a tiger behind, where is the hope of survival?

Wolf…Tiger… “Wait!”

Zhou Liang suddenly thought of something, and his expression gradually became strange:
"Have I made a mistake? Why do I have to survive?"

Isn't it true that simulators are supposed to be played by dying a lot to get the hang of it? Why am I so afraid of death?
Even the "Zhou Liang" in the simulation knows that with the re-activation of the plug-in, he doesn't have to care about his life at all. He can do whatever he wants. This is the plot he should have!
Zhou Liang suddenly realized:

"Yeah... When has this kid ever cherished his life? It's not like he's never died before... Under normal circumstances where ideals and beliefs aren't involved, he wouldn't actively seek death if he could survive. But now that he's been forced into a desperate situation, he's naturally prepared to die."

"For him, he no longer wants to find any other way to survive. All he wants is a spectacular death, preferably one that's incredibly satisfying..."

Then I understand now!

When I thought of committing suicide, I suddenly felt that the world was wide!

Zhou Liang's mind suddenly became clear, and he immediately thought of a solution that met his requirements:
"There's a wolf in front and a tiger behind... Then I'll drive the tiger away and eat the wolf!"

"I must die, but you won't live either!"

A thief, right? A provincial governor, right? The prefect of Xi'an, right?
There is also the cutting master, the greedy county magistrate, and the Shaanxi prefect whose specific position is unknown... Maybe the Shaanxi prefect is indeed an innocent victim, but as the saying goes, no snowflake is innocent in an avalanche. He has been an official of the Ming Dynasty for so many years, it is impossible for him to be so innocent without a trace of black material!

Then just consider it as doing justice for the heavens!

Kill kill kill kill kill kill!

(King of the Great West: Good boy! I finally have a role to play!)

(Lao Aijia: Happy...)
Zhou Liang made up his mind, carefully recalled some things, and then directly wrote down the strategy:
Ding! You choose: (Go to the bell tower and shout, "I know where the rebel Li Da Taisun is!" Then wait for a few special people... Once they arrive, report to them that the Shaanxi Provincial Governor and the two prefects of Xi'an and Northern Shaanxi are colluding with the rebels and intending to be disloyal to the Divine Emperor and the Ming Dynasty... Finally, assist them in capturing Li Laiheng and others in Mizhi County. Don't worry about the rest; they'll take care of it...)

[When all this information flooded into your mind, you couldn't help but be stunned... Because these things definitely shouldn't have come from you, but rather were transmitted to you by someone...]

You feel a sudden chill in your heart: Could it be that there is a mysterious, invisible hand watching your every move?

But then you suddenly relax again: It doesn't matter! As the saying goes, too many lice don't itch. You have so many invisible hands around you anyway, so this one behind-the-scenes hand wouldn't hurt... And this one is actively helping you solve your problem. Clearly, it's a friend, not an enemy, for now, so don't worry about it.

[Of course, the most important thing for you is to rely on the power of this "Black Hand Brother" to make all your enemies fly!]

【Black Hand! 】

You laughed out loud, then walked through the bustling city of Xi'an, heading straight for the tall "Bell Tower"...

The Bell Tower is one of Xi'an's most prominent landmarks. Legend has it that it was built during the Hongwu reign and serves to tell the time accurately.

You walk directly to a nearby area below the building. There are pedestrians on both sides, and soldiers are guarding the front of the building... Although you don't know why "Black Hand Brother" wants you to come here to call for help, and you don't know what kind of "special person" he wants you to call, but since you have decided to trust him, you naturally won't waver.

So, you yelled in front of everyone downstairs, "I know where the thief, Li Da Taisun, is!"

[After a roar, everyone was stunned.]

[You're worried the target can't hear you, so you shout several more times...]

Finally, several figures dashed towards you like lightning, at a speed that would shock ordinary people!

You took a closer look and were stunned, because these people were truly unique: they were dressed in luxurious brocade clothes, with long swords tied at their waists, and their tall figures gave people a sense of majesty that made people feel that they could not be looked at directly...

Their faces were stern, not surprised by your age, nor were they talking nonsense. They simply said, "Tell me everything you know."

[At this moment, your heart suddenly calms down. The governor, prefect, county magistrate, and bandit... none of them can overwhelm you anymore.]

As the saying goes: Only magic can defeat magic, and only power can overwhelm power. And the most powerful enforcer of power in the Ming Dynasty is right before you.

[They are darkness itself, but darkness can also bring you relative light...]

[This gamble, which cost you your life, you have already won! ]
