Late Ming Dynasty: Oops, I am surrounded by the Donglin Party

After hesitating for a while, Qian Qianyi thought about it.

The bandits would be coming soon. If they came, he would resist with a knife, and the bandits would surely kill him.

But he waited for a while and still didn't see any bandits coming, which made him feel very confused.

He looked at Bai Ling again and decided to try a different approach.

So he took the initiative to walk out of the mansion, but there were no soldiers guarding outside the mansion.

He walked onto the street and saw soldiers arresting his colleagues, but the soldiers ignored him.

Qian Qianyi's mansion was luxurious and grand, and was built not far from an inland river. He walked blindly and finally came to the river without any purpose.

"We're here, we're here. Go and inform the commander-in-chief. The people have finally arrived." The guy selling candied haws said to his companions.

They followed Qian Qianyi quietly all the way. The mansion was unguarded and no one cared about him. This was of course Zhang Shikang's order.

It is said that the commander wanted to preserve Qian Qianyi's reputation, which meant not arresting him and letting him commit suicide.

The commander is a really nice person, but he is too kind-hearted.

Both the Jinyiwei and the Beijing Camp were influenced by Zhang Shikang and disliked those guys who were always talking nonsense and were rich but unkind.

But this was Zhang Shikang's order, so they just had to keep an eye on him and see how Qian Qianyi committed suicide.

Zhang Shikang also specifically instructed that if this guy wanted to jump into the river, he should go and notify him.

Qian Qianyi walked blindly to the river, not knowing that this was God's arrangement.

He glanced at the flowing river and suddenly thought that perhaps he could jump into the river to save his reputation.

Hanging oneself to death is still too horrible. I heard that one would become incontinent. As a scholar, and a great Confucian scholar at that, it would be too disgraceful to do that.

Being killed by the bandits is too bloody. If those people don't know the seriousness of the matter, they might not even be able to keep an intact body. It is really a shame to our ancestors.

But jumping into the river is different.

Not only will there be no pain, there will be no incontinence, and the body and reputation can be preserved.

He hesitated for a while, and finally looked determined.

At this time, Zhang Shikang came quietly, followed by Hedong Jun Liu Rushi.

"See? Qian Qianyi is going to sacrifice his reputation for the rest of his life." Zhang Shikang laughed.

Zhang Shikang remembered it very clearly. According to historical records, Qian Qianyi finally got the beauty.

After the fall of Beijing, Qian Qianyi shouted every day that he wanted to die for his country, but he did not take action until the Jianlu army arrived at Nanjing.

Hedong Jun Liu Ru wanted to commit suicide, but was forcibly stopped by him.

Although Zhang Shikang had deliberately guided the situation, he never expected that he would be able to witness history with his own eyes.

He even brought Liu Rushi over specially, thinking that the person concerned should see it with his own eyes.

How fresh.

But to Liu Rushi, this made no sense.

She still didn't know what this popular figure in the Ming Dynasty wanted to do with her.

All I know is that this guy is a bit outgoing and shameless, and he even grabbed her hand when he came.

She didn't resist, it was all meaningless.

But she didn't understand what Zhang Shikang wanted to take her to see.

When she followed Zhang Shikang to the river and saw Qian Qianyi, there was only coldness in her eyes.

She just stared at Qian Qianyi. She really wanted to ask him why he wanted to kidnap her and whether it was really what Pei Lun had guessed.

But she didn't ask in the end. Liu Rushi could see that Qian Qianyi wanted to hang himself.

It was the martyrdom that he had spoken of before him.

The person is about to die, what else can she not let go of?

No matter what he wanted to say to her, at least he still had some integrity at this moment, Liu Ru thought.

"If that's the case, guess whether old man Qian dares to jump in?" Zhang Shikang said with a smile.

Liu Rushi didn't know why Zhang Shikang asked this, but she still answered seriously:

"Sir, do you still need to guess? It's just a death.

What joy is there in life, and what pain is there in death?" Liu Rushi murmured.

This made Zhang Shikang speechless.

What's the joy of living, and what's the pain of dying? He hated those who pretended to be sad just to write new poems.

But seeing that Liu Rushi didn't look like that, he advised:

"You are so young, but you always look so worried, as if you are not afraid of life or death.

But since you are not afraid of life and death, why do you have to be frowning every day?

Look at me, I am very afraid of death, but I am still very happy. "

Liu Rushi shook her head and did not answer.

So the two continued to watch Qian Qianyi jump into the river.

But Qian Qianyi hesitated for a long time and still did not take the first step.

Zhang Shikang was fed up with his hesitation, so he stepped forward and said:

"Hey, Qian Qianyi, why don't you jump!"

Qian Qianyi was startled and turned around, only to see that there were already people standing behind him.

Except for Zhang Shikang and Liu Rushi, most of the others were Zhang Shikang's personal guards and the few Jinyiwei spies who sold candied haws.

But if you are careful, you will see that there are still pairs of eyes staring at this place in the houses on both sides of the river.

Qian Qianyi was so immersed in his own world that he didn't even notice so many people coming behind him.

He glanced at Liu Rushi, but didn't dare to look her in the eye again.

Then he glared at Zhang Shikang, whom he had recognized.

"If you don't jump, I will have you chopped into pulp.

Jump now, for by jumping you can preserve your reputation and die with your body intact."

Zhang Shikang advised.

There were no movies at that time, but Zhang Shikang felt like a director, and a persuasive one at that.

He took great pains to make Qian Qianyi die a martyr.

"Are you afraid?" After waiting for a while, Zhang Shikang frowned.

Finally, Qian Qianyi stopped struggling, and he seemed to have made an unprecedented determination.

Because he understood that Zhang Shikang might really chop him into pieces. More than a thousand people in the Yansheng Duke's family were all wiped out by this bastard.

He is definitely capable of doing such a thing.

Qian Qianyi calmed himself down, and finally he took a step forward and put his right foot into the river.

It was mid-September now. Although the Mid-Autumn Festival had passed, the weather in Nanjing was not very cold.

But this touch was very obvious to Qian Qianyi, who was extremely sensitive at the moment.

As soon as he put his feet into the water, he pulled them back as if he had been electrocuted.

At this time, Qian Qianyi's forehead was already covered in sweat, as if he had just done an import and export business.

He finally understood that the word "martyrdom" is easy to say but really hard to do.

He originally thought that he would not be afraid of death when it came to justice and reputation.

He talked all day long about wanting to be martyred, and even he believed it.

But it was not until now that he realized that he was afraid.

"The water is too cold." Qian Qianyi said blankly.

The instinct for survival forced him to twist his body and kneel down to beg for mercy from Zhang Shikang:

"Grand Marshal, I am willing to surrender."

Liu Rushi closed her eyes in extreme disappointment.

However, Zhang Shikang refused to accept it. He was the director, but the actor didn't listen to him.

"What do you mean the water is too cold? I see your scalp is itchy too, right?

Come, throw this guy into the river!"
