Chapter 942 Turning enemies into friends
The eyesight of the reviewer shrunk. "As expected of Ruying's younger brother, you are really eloquent. Even though you are a girl, you are still the leader."

After a while, he laughed again and said, "I'll kill you first."

Xin Xianying bowed and saluted. "Thank you, Mr. Shen." After speaking, he took his mother's hand and walked forward.

A flash of anger flashed in the judge's eyes, he raised his hand, and was about to ask someone to kill Xin Xianying first, when a middle-aged woman rushed in front of him, blocked Xin Xianying behind her, and looked at the judge calmly.

"Shen Zhengnan, why bother with a child. If you want to kill, kill me first."

The judge stared at the woman for a moment, and she looked familiar, but couldn't call her name.

"Who are you?"

"I was a daughter of the Xun family when I was young, but I was a wife of the Xin family when I grew up." The woman chuckled lightly, "Xun You, the governor of Youyan, is my servant. Is it more useful to kill me than a child?"

Senpei felt the disdain in Xun's eyes, anger rose from his heart, and the evil turned to the gallbladder.

"If I kill you, I will kill you. Do you think I dare not? You don't need to rob. If Xin Zuozhi doesn't show up, you will all die today."

He swept his eyes and saw the pale young man behind Xun. "Is this your son?"

"My son Xin Tao." The Xun family brought the young man over. "Ask the interrogator to be well."

Trembling, Xin Tao walked up to the judge, bowed and saluted, but was stuttering and unable to speak.

The examiner smiled, and gave Xun a meaningful look.

Xun Shi shook his head. "A boy is useless. He was once inferior to a woman. Everyone in the world respects men and regards women as inferior. Only the Son of Heaven respects men and women as equals. It can be seen that he is brilliant and cannot be compared with vulgarity." She smiled. "Using the strength of the nine clans, Shenjun is against the Son of Heaven. Although he is overconfident, he is also very courageous. It should be understood."

The judge's smile froze, and his cheeks twitched twice.

Shenying behind him was even paler, dripping with cold sweat, his eyes involuntarily glanced at Shenpei, and his lips trembled.

The emperor had an edict that if Shen Pei was willing to surrender, he and Tian Feng would surely die as the chief culprits, but the children of the Shen family and the children of the Tian family might escape death and be exiled overseas.If the judge refuses to surrender, it will be clan punishment, and they can only die along with them.

As a son of man, he should die with his father without hesitation.

But when he thought of the tragic consequences of Zhu Jiu Clan, he tried to persuade the judge to give up countless times, not to engage in unnecessary disputes, and to minimize losses as much as possible.

But he dared not.

He knew the judge's temper.Annoyed the judge, the judge will kill him first without hesitation.

"Judging Zhengnan." A loud shout came from below the city suddenly, and then footsteps sounded, and Xin Pi strode up, his head was covered with sweat, and his clothes were soaked and stuck to his body.

The judge laughed. "Xin Zuozhi, you are finally willing to show up."

"I rushed over when I heard the news." Sim Pi walked up to his wife and daughter, touched Xin Xianying's small face, and bowed to his wife. "It hurts you."

His wife's lips quivered, but no words came out.

Simpi walked up to Mrs. Xun again, and bowed down.

Xun's family bowed and returned the gift.

Simpi came in front of the judge, held his head up, and grinned. "I'm here. Do you want to kill now, or have a chat?"

Before Shenpei could speak, Shenying said first: "Ah, a gentleman promises a thousand gold. Since Jun Xin shows up, let him go first. If you can't reach an agreement, it's not too late to kill him."

Shenpei glanced at Shenying, but hesitated to speak.He waved his hand and signaled Shenying to put Xin Ping down and take them back to the prison together, then motioned to Xin Pi and said, "Let's go?"

"Dare not to follow orders." Simpi cupped his hands and followed.

With his hands behind his back, Shenpei walked slowly along the city wall, looking out of the city from time to time with gloomy eyes.

The autumn harvest is over, and the wheat fields are left with only stubble, like a bald scalp.

The imperial army besieged the city, and the judge watched the wheat ripen outside the city and did not dare to go out to harvest it. He watched helplessly as the emperor sent someone to harvest all the wheat.He had planned to let Zhang He and Gao Lan attack to prevent the emperor from harvesting the wheat, or to burn it directly, but Zhang He and Gao Lan politely refused.

Their reason was that after burning the wheat, the emperor still wanted to requisition grain, and it was the people of Jizhou who suffered in the end.

The reason was justified, but the judge suspected that they had ulterior motives, and they might have reached an agreement with the emperor.

This severely damaged his confidence in sticking to Yecheng, and he had to find a way to force Xin Pi to show up.

"The emperor's ultimatum, you should know, right?"

"Understood." Simpi nodded.

"If I have to die, I will definitely take you with me."

"It's my honor." Simpi said with a smile, "I didn't have the same heart and mind when I was alive, but I might be able to share my heart and soul after death."

The judge turned to look at Simpi, and couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth. "Do you think it's possible?"

Simpi sighed. "A lesson from the past is a guide for the future. Ruying people and Jizhou people did not get along, which made the good situation fall short, and both sides suffered. Isn't this lesson tragic enough?"

The judge sneered. "It's not easy to hear this sentence from your mouth."

"Although I'm not sensitive, I can correct my mistakes when I know it." Xin Pi stopped, looked at the camp outside the city, and lightly patted the battlements twice. "Of course the Son of Heaven is the hero, but if it wasn't for the disagreement between you and me, he wouldn't have won so happily. He could have caused Ruying people and Jizhou people to kill each other, so he must be very proud at the moment."

The judge also stopped, and stood a few steps away from Simpi.

After a while, he said quietly: "If I am willing to surrender, can he let my Shen clan go?"

"It's hard to say, I just know that what he hopes most now is that you kill all of my Ruying people first, and after the city is broken, the Ruying people will kill you all of your Jizhou people in the name of revenge. He definitely doesn't want you to surrender, so don't expect him to easily agree to let your Shen clan go."

Simpi was silent for a moment, and then said: "But the possibility of killing the Jiu Clan should not be great."

The judge clenched his fist in frustration, and slammed it hard on the city wall. "Although this son is young, his intentions are vicious."

"I can also understand." There was a trace of bitterness in Simpi's eyes. "Xiaohuan and Xiaoling's Yin Jian is in the front. If you want to be an enemy of the world's scholars and officials and win the battle, how can you do it without a plan. At the beginning, the ancestors wanted to save the land, but in the end it was nothing. After that, all the emperors were powerless. Thinking of this matter being done by him, it is God's will."

The examiner turned his head and looked at Simpi, hesitant to speak.

He could feel Simpi's helplessness, just like his own.

In front of the emperor, they are all losers.

There is no exception for the scholar-bureaucrats in the world, no matter whether they follow the emperor or fight against the emperor.

"Is there still a connecting flight?"

Simpi was silent for a long time. "Maybe there is, but you and I can't see it."

"What turnaround?"

Simpi slowly turned his head to meet the judge's eyes. "Dare to ask the judge, is the origin of the scholar-officials longer, or the origin of the emperor?"

The judge's eyes flashed. "Of course they are scholar-bureaucrats. The emperor is only a few hundred years old."

"Yes, the emperor is only a few hundred years old, but the scholar-bureaucrats have existed since three generations, and the torch has been passed down for thousands of years. If Zhang Liang, Lu Jia, Jia Yi, and Dong Zhongshu hadn't succeeded one after another, how could the Liu family be emperor? Hundreds of years Come on, the emperor was established because of the scholar-bureaucrats. Even if the emperor is a hero, how can he abandon the scholar-bureaucrats and survive alone? The four people are scholars, and it seems that divide and rule, but in fact it is just a temporary tactic."

He sneered. "This world, in the end, is still the world of scholar-bureaucrats, not the world of emperors."
