"If you admit it, you will admit it. As the saying goes, if you keep the green hills, you don't have to worry about no firewood. After you get out, you just need to wash away the grievances on yourself. What's the harm in being flexible at this time?"

"It's different!" Smiling and shaking his head, Dong Yu picked up a weed from the side and began to write and draw on the ground.

"I can die, but there must be no stains or gaps in my heart. The dyke of a thousand miles is destroyed by an ant's nest. It is really easy to adapt, but some things have one thing and two things."

"If you have been flexible for a long time, you may even give up the persistence in your heart."

"People are mortal, but there are some things that cannot and must not be lost!"

Looking up at Shen Yu, Dong Yu's eyes showed a kind of determination, which was a determination to die without regret.

At this moment, Shen Yu seemed to see the terrifying power hidden in his body, which was constantly rampaging and trying to break through the restraint.

Even though this power was frighteningly powerful, it was firmly suppressed within the radius, trapped in the flesh and blood body without leaking a single bit.

Persistence in the heart is the strongest seal.

At this moment, Shen Yu understood that the person in front of him was not a nerd, and it wasn't that he couldn't be flexible, but that he couldn't be flexible.

Even though he knew that staying would mean death, he still refused to give up even the slightest possibility, just to perfectly block the power in his body.

Although this person has no power to restrain a chicken and has been unknown, he is a real hero.

"Where is the criminal Dong Yu? Has there been anything unusual about Dong Yu these days?"

At this moment, a voice suddenly came from Shen Yu's ear, followed by the sound of hurried footsteps.

"My lord, Dong Yu is in prison. If there is anything abnormal about him these days, he is writing on the ground with weeds every day. Apart from that, there is nothing else."

"Oh? Still in the mood to practice calligraphy? Is this Dong Yu really not afraid of death, or does he have another support, or does he know that he will not die, or will someone come to save him?"

"No, don't worry, my lord, there is a villain watching over it, even a fly can't fly in, let alone take people away from the villain."

"My lord, the villain has been a jailer since he was 16 years old, and it has been nearly 20 years. Since the villain took care of this place, he has never made a mistake...you, who are you?"

Just as the prison chief was asking for credit from the magistrate at the side, he saw Shen Yu who was talking with Dong Yu, and the sweat dripped from his forehead.

All the bullshit on my side was blown out, and there was a big living person standing in the prison openly in front of him, his face was almost swollen from the beating.

The most frightening thing was that the magistrate next to him turned ashen-blue, and immediately made it difficult for the prison chief to speak.

"Didn't you say that even a fly can't fly in, what is that?"

"My lord, this, I..."

"Shut up, hurry up and call someone!"

"Yes, yes, the villain will go now, go here!"

The cell leader next to him ran out quickly, leaving Zhifu alone, and then he came to his senses.

This is wrong, isn't this throwing myself here?

His expression didn't change, but at this time the magistrate was not angry and majestic, and there was still a bit of majesty on his face.

"Who are you? How dare you break into the prison and secretly meet Dong Yu, a death row prisoner. You can forgive me now that you have retired from the official position, otherwise...!"

"How else?" Turning his head and looking directly at the other party, the sharp gaze made Zhifu tremble a little.

This gaze is like a knife, it hurts all over.

"As a magistrate, you judge cases randomly. Have you ever tried the case? Have you investigated the matter? How are you different from taking human life carelessly?"

"Absurd, I have all the evidence of the person handling the case, so you can question it at will. The point of acquaintance fades away quickly, and you must know that Mr. Shen Yushen is nearby. Mr. Shen can't rub the sand in his eyes. You don't want to error!"

"Really? Knowing that Shen Yu can't rub sand in his eyes, you dare to do this. Also, who told you that Shen Yu is nearby. You said, if Shen Yu knew what you did, your fate would be different." What is it?"

"You, I..." For a moment, the magistrate hesitated and didn't know how to respond.

Especially when he saw Shen Yu's face, for some reason, the more he looked at it, the more familiar he felt, as if he had seen it somewhere before.

"Hey, that's not right, why does this kid look so similar to Mr. Shen's portrait?"

Chapter 849 Do You Have This Qualification?

"You, who are you?"

Looking at the young man in front of him, a bad premonition suddenly appeared in Zhifu's heart, and an extremely absurd idea came to his mind.

It's just that he can't be sure about this idea, let alone be sure, it will kill people.

But the more I looked at him, the more I felt that it was true, and the more I looked at it, the more flustered I became.Shen Yu's arrival meant that he might have to pay the price for what he had done.

For so many years, I have been worried about the things I have been afraid of all the time, is it going to happen today?

"Prefect Jiao Enming!"

The sudden voice made Jiao Enming tremble, and he involuntarily raised his head to take a careful look at Shen Yu, and it was this look that made him completely sure of the identity of the person in front of him.

He also had such eyes before, but these were all gone with the wind, and he was discarded by himself in disappointment again and again.

In this world where force is paramount, only the strong represent status and are qualified to stick to their own morality.

He is strong, so he can always have such eyes.

And a weak scholar like myself has no strength to restrain a chicken, and he doesn't even have the ability to protect himself and his family when things come to an end.

There was nothing else to do but howl incompetently.His persistence in the past has long been shattered by reality, and such eyes naturally no longer exist.

"Lord Jiao, I know you!" Looking at Jiao Enming who seemed to be in memory, Shen Yu spoke slowly, with a bit of disappointment in his voice.

"In the second year of Jinglong's reign, there was a severe drought in Yuzhou. There was no harvest in the fields, and countless people were displaced."

"As a result, the government's disaster relief funds were embezzled, so that the people starved to death everywhere, lying dead for thousands of miles."

"Back then, for the sake of those innocent people, you, Mr. Jiao, opened a grain depot privately to help the victims. Countless people survived, but you yourself were sent to death row because of this incident."

"Later, Master Chen Xingchen interceded for you, which allowed you to survive and was reinstated."

Looking at Jiao Enming in front of him, Shen Yu let out a long sigh. Who would have thought that a good official who loved the people like a son back then would become what he is today, with no distinction between black and white, good and evil.

Time is always the best cosmetic knife, it can change people beyond recognition.

"That's right, if it wasn't for Mr. Chen Xingchen, I might have been killed. It turns out that so many years have passed."

As if recalling the events of that year, Jiao Enming couldn't help being a little silent, and the muscles on his face trembled a little more.

"Lord Jiao, do you know that there are countless upright officials in this world, why have I heard of you?"

"Because every time such natural disasters and man-made disasters happen, the innocent people are always injured. Many people starve to death, but the officials are full of fat, and the worst thing is that they can ensure that their own food is not lacking."

"But you are the only one. In the past years, there was a severe drought in Yuzhou. Not only did the people starve to death, but more than half of the officials in the whole government starved to death. Even your mother and your three-year-old son starved to death."

"Every time I think about this, I feel shocked. What Master Jiao did back then is indeed admirable."

Speaking of this, Shen Yu couldn't help but cast a sidelong glance at the other party, with torture in his eyes, as if he was asking why he became what he is now.

"Lord Jiao, Dong Yu's incident is obviously fueled by someone who wants to tarnish his reputation. Don't you know this, Mr. Prefect?"

"You know, you not only know, but you are pretending to be confused from the beginning to the end. What is the reputation of the famous and upright official back then, and what he looks like now."

"It's really better to be famous than to meet, Mr. Jiao, you are such a good official!"

"Oh, good official?" Jiao Enming just smiled mockingly, as if he was mocking himself in the past, stimulated by Shen Yu's mention of the past.

"A good official has to pay a price! Master Shen!" Taking a deep breath, Jiao Enming suppressed all the previous emotions, looked up at Shen Yu stubbornly.

From such eyes, Shen Yu saw grievance, dissatisfaction, and cynicism.

"Master Shen Yushen, I never thought I would meet you in this way!"

"I never thought that I would meet Mr. Jiao in this way."

"Really?" Looking at Shen Yu in front of him, he was young and promising, full of vigor, much like himself back then.

But others have absolutely strong strength as a support, but I have nothing.That's why people dare to do things that many people want to do but dare not do.

That's why he can wantonly kill those corrupt officials and do whatever he wants.

And I can only be suppressed by those people I once hated again and again, and finally become one of them in the bloodshed again and again.

After hearing about Shen Yu's deeds, he also longed for such a life, dreaming that one day he could become such a person.

At the same time, Jiao Enming couldn't help being afraid, if one day he was about to face Shen Yu, such a cold-blooded and ruthless person to corrupt officials, what would happen to him.

Could it be that he, like those bloody examples, was ruined and ruthlessly beheaded.

I don't know how many times I can't sleep at night, and sometimes even he himself laughs at himself.

Since he is already a bad person, why worry about those.Maybe it is because he is not pure enough that he is worried and afraid.

But when facing Shen Yu, after the initial confusion and fear, after hearing Shen Yu mentioning himself back then, Jiao Enming suddenly found that he didn't seem so scared anymore.

He is not wrong, what is wrong is this world, and what is wrong is that he does not have the same ability as Shen Yu.

He even felt that if he was like Shen Yu, he would definitely be able to do better now.

At this moment, Jiao Enming suddenly felt a lot more relaxed. Anyway, both left and right are dead, why not let himself die with a little dignity.

When the things that scare you, the things that make you uneasy about it, are in front of you.When you dare to face everything, you will suddenly discover it.What I was afraid of before, all the things I was afraid of, seemed to be no longer scary at this moment.

"Lord Jiao, Dong Yu's matter is not a misunderstanding."

"Yes, it's not a misunderstanding if real people don't tell lies in front of real people. Someone wants Dong Yu to die, so Dong Yu has to die."

"Recklessly disregarding human life, what's the difference between this act and killing innocent people indiscriminately?" Shen Yu's eyes turned cold, and Shen Yu didn't expect him to admit it so happily.

"Master Jiao, you were not like this in the past!"

"Master Shen, you also said that was in the past. In the past, I gave everything I could for my ideals, for my perseverance, but what did I get, praise? Or fame?"

"Let me tell you, I have been relegated every year for six years, because of the constant suppression around me, and because of the resistance and fear of the officials around me."

"Everyone around me is afraid of me and crowds out me. They are afraid that they will end up like my former colleagues."

"Even my relatives don't understand me and are complaining about me. Do you know what kind of life this is? You don't know!"

Closing his eyes, Jiao Enming felt a sense of relief. Before he died, he wanted to vent all the anger in his heart.

"But even so, I still foolishly believe that as long as I make decisions for the people, as long as I can realize the revenge in my heart, all of this is worth it."

"But there are some things that you never know what the next moment will be like!" Having said this, Dong Yu suddenly laughed, which made people feel a little cold.

"Lord Shen, you know that you are clearly trying your best to seek justice for those ignorant people, you are obviously sacrificing everything of yourself, betting everything you have to work hard for these people, and you are busy day and night."

"In the end, you were misunderstood by them, and even these foolish people defiled your relatives, and even beat them to death in front of your eyes, and you can only watch all of this."

"These people who have been favored by you are the ones who hurt you the most, and trampled on your relatives and your dignity. Have you ever experienced this?"

"You have never experienced anything, so what qualifications do you have to criticize me from a high position?"

"Are you qualified? Do you have it?"

Chapter 850 How can there be someone like you

"Is that your reason?"

"Yes, that's my reason. I'm not like you, Master Shen. I'm just a frail scholar who can't even protect myself!"

At this time, Jiao Enming's face was flushed, and his face looked a little ferocious due to excitement.

I have been depressed for many years, and it is precisely because of my previous conscience that I have been restless and sleepless for many years.

Now being able to vent out her depression before dying, even in front of the famous Shen Yu, is considered a great joy in life.

How many people can be as mad as him in front of Shen Yu.

What I have done in these years, it can be said that I have thrown my heart on the ground and trampled on it countless times, and my conscience is tormenting me all the time.

But he didn't think he was wrong, what was wrong was this world, this seemingly loyal, filial, wise and trustworthy world, but in fact it was dirty and filthy.

My own transformation is just a surrender to reality, and it is reality that crushed my originally straight spine.

"Do you people always like to find reasons for yourself, do you think that only in this way will your conscience not hurt so much?"

Glancing at the other party lightly, Shen Yu also admitted that this world is indeed unfair, and it is indeed difficult for a poor family disciple to stand the test.

But you are so self-righteous even when you are depraved, as if everyone owes you, and everyone should understand you, which is a bit indecent.

It is not easy for you yourself, but it is easy for the people who have been cheated by you.Life is not easy, and you are bullied by the magistrate, who did they cry to.

"If you can't stick to it yourself, blame the world and others. The world doesn't revolve around you."

"You don't even look at how many people are depressed, how many people have suffered humiliation, but they still don't change their original intentions."
