A hundred flavors of life

Chapter 1021: Letter of Invitation! (Please order the whole thing!)
PS: I am asking for monthly tickets. I still need 142 monthly tickets this month. I have to rely on my brothers. Thank you so much. I bow down to you.

'Task Description: Whenever there is trouble, there will be evildoers. These evildoers refer to demons and ghosts, as well as the evil spirits in people's hearts! '

'Task requirement one: Kill the evildoers that harm people in troubled times. The lower limit is 10,000, and there is no upper limit. The more the better!'

'Task requirement two: perfect the magical power of the law of heaven and earth, and eliminate the false and retain the true! "

Hua Shier returned to his home in Shanghai from his hometown and, as usual, chose to accept the task on his own big bed at night.

The familiar darkness arrived as expected. When the darkness faded away, Hua Shier's mind gradually became active.

What caught his eye was an ancient street. The pedestrians were wearing clothes from the Qing Dynasty, mainly in dark blue tones, with few bright colors. Hua Twelve looked around and recognized that this was the city of Jinling, because he had been here at different times in several other worlds, so he was very familiar with it.

"Third Master, I greet you!"

The person who spoke was a middle-aged man passing by. He had a rat-tail braid and wore a black satin jacket. He looked to be from a wealthy family, perhaps a businessman. While speaking, he was servile and flattering towards Hua Twelve, with a smile on his face.

Seeing that Hua Twelve didn't say anything, the man kept smiling, bowed awkwardly, and walked away.

At this time, the memory of the replaced person was poured into his mind. After a while, Hua Shier already knew the replaced person, which was the identity assigned to him by the system now!

"Jiang Wuyang, I am Jiang Wuyang?"

The system assigned him the identity of the third brother Jiang Wuyang in the movie "The Warlords". This movie was adapted from the Ma Assassination Case, one of the four major cases in the late Qing Dynasty. There are three protagonists, namely the Manchu general Pang Qingyun, the bandit Yang Erhu and Jiang Wuyang.

Pang Qingyun was defeated in the battle against the Taiping Army and his entire army was wiped out, leaving only him. He did not dare to go back to report, so he pawned his weapons and armor and became a wanderer on the streets.

Jiang Wuyang was impressed by his skills and brought him back to the village, where he met Zhao Erhu. Later, the three of them became sworn brothers, with Pang Qingyun as the eldest brother, Yang Erhu as the second brother, and Jiang Wuyang as the third brother.

With the help of his brothers including Zhao Erhu and Jiang Wuyang, Pang Qingyun established the "Shan Camp" and rejoined the Qing court. Relying on his brothers' efforts, he repeatedly made military exploits and conquered Suzhou and Nanjing where Taiping was located. He became famous and was named Governor-General of Liangjiang by the court.

Later, due to political differences with Zhao Erhu, in order to prevent his sworn brother from affecting his future, he sent people to lure and kill Zhao Erhu.

On the day when Pang Qingyun took office as the Governor-General of Liangjiang, Jiang Wuyang avenged his second brother and assassinated Pang Qingyun at the side door of the Governor's Mansion.

Of course, Pang Qingyun killed Zhao Erhu mostly because the other party was a bandit who was hard to change and was holding him back and affecting his future. A small part of the reason was that Pang had an affair with Erhu's wife Liansheng.

Liansheng was sold to Yangzhou as a prostitute at the age of seven. She was taught music, chess, calligraphy and painting since childhood. Fortunately, she was rescued by Zhao Erhu and followed Erhu from then on. However, facing the illiterate bandit leader, she was never able to give her true heart to him, and could not stand the bandits' hard life. She ran away several times, but faced with the chaotic times and having nowhere to go, she returned to Zhao Erhu on her own.

On one of his escapes, he met Pang Qingyun who was homeless on the streets. They fell in love at first sight and had sex. The next day, Liansheng returned to Zhao Erhu. When Pang Qingyun woke up, he waited for Liansheng for a long time but didn't see him. He thought he had been dreaming last night.

When Pang Qingyun arrived at the mountain village and saw Liansheng again, he realized that she was Zhao Erhu's wife.

Later, the two often met secretly, and their affair was discovered by Jiang Wuyang not long ago.

In order to prevent his elder and second brothers from falling out, Jiang Wuyang kept the matter to himself. Today, he learned that Pang Qingyun wanted to kill Zhao Erhu. Thinking that Pang did it for Liansheng, he went to Zhao Erhu's house, intending to kill Liansheng, the factor that caused the conflict, in order to save Erhu.

At this time, Jiang Wuyang was on his way to kill Liansheng. Not far ahead was Zhao Erhu's mansion in Jinling City.

After receiving the message, Hua Shier recalled the original plot and couldn't help but shook his head. Jiang Wuyang was too naive. Pang Qingyun killed Zhao Erhu not for Liansheng, but most likely for his own future.

According to the time, Zhao Erhu should have died in the town outside the city, and it is too late to save him.

However, even if he had time, Hua Twelve would not go to rescue them. In his opinion, Pang, Zhao, and Jiang all regarded human life as worthless and they all deserved to die.

Pang Qingyun was a general of the Qing army. His entire army was wiped out, and he was the only one who survived. All the others were killed. How could he survive?
Good at martial arts?
Faced with an overwhelming force, his martial arts skills are nothing!
The only thing is that he was a deserter. As a general, he did not have the courage to fight to the death and die on the battlefield, so he pretended to be dead and escaped.

It's not that it's wrong to cherish one's life, that's human nature, but you are the commander of the troops, and all your brothers have been killed by you, and they all died fighting for you, so why do you pretend to be dead and try to save your life?
Afterwards, he was taken in by Jiang Wuyang, and made a comeback with the help of Zhao Erhu and Jiang Wuyang. The latter two had been kind to him. Not only did he secretly have an affair with Zhao Erhu's wife, he also wanted to kill Zhao Erhu. He really deserved to die.

Besides, Zhao Erhu and Jiang Wuyang were originally bandits who killed people like crazy. When they became sworn brothers with Pang Qingyun, the three of them made a pledge of brotherhood and killed innocent people passing by their stronghold. Maybe they were nice to the people around them, but they were bandits and showed their cruel and murderous side to outsiders.

Hua Shier thought of the task issued by the system, which was to kill the evildoers who were harming people in troubled times. The task description made it very clear that these evildoers referred to demons and ghosts, as well as human hearts!

Pang Qingyun, Zhao Erhu and Jiang Wuyang, these three are the evildoers in troubled times!

Be killed!

Hua Shier brushed his clothes and looked towards the direction of Zhao Erhu's residence: "I have replaced Jiang Wuyang's identity, so I will avenge Zhao Erhu."

"Third Master!"

When the housekeeper at Zhao Erhu's mansion saw Hua Twelve coming in, he hurried forward to greet him.

Hua Twelve nodded: "Where is the second sister-in-law?"

The housekeeper hurriedly said, "Madam is in the back house!"

"Just do your thing, I'll go see her myself!"

Born as bandits, the brothers Zhao Erhu and Jiang Wuyang don't have to follow so many rules. There is no rule between them that outsiders are not allowed to enter the backyard.

After entering the second door, there is the back house. Zhao Erhu's family has few servants, and Liansheng is the only one in the back house. Hua Twelve's ears moved, and he followed the noise to the main house.

The door of the main room was open, so he walked in. Liansheng was standing on the bunk bed, hanging the gauze curtains on the bunk bed. When he turned around, he saw Jiang Wuyang behind him and said in a quiet voice:
"You gave me a fright!"

Hua Shier looked at this woman who looked exactly like Xu Cainü in later generations, and felt a little hesitant. According to the current moral standards, this woman's actions should be punished by death, but according to later generations, it was a common occurrence, and strictly speaking, she was also a miserable person.

"Sister-in-law, Wu Yang is here to say goodbye to you!"

Hua Shier thought about just saying hello and leaving, sparing the woman and killing Pang Qingyun.

But he had amazing hearing and suddenly heard Liansheng's heartbeat becoming more intense, but the expression on his face remained as calm and cold as before.

Hua Twelve changed his mind again, and he showed a hint of sarcasm:
"you know?"

Liansheng's expression remained unchanged: "Know what?"

"Do you know that Pang Qingyun wants to kill my second brother?"

Liansheng's body swayed, his eyes dodged, and his expression became unnatural:
"You, don't talk nonsense. How could Qingyun kill Erhu?"

"Qingyun? What a friendly way to address him. You are the second brother's woman, shouldn't you follow the second brother and call him Big Brother?"

Hua Shier smiled, with a hint of sarcasm in his smile that hurt Liansheng so much.

Liansheng suddenly shouted, "Jiang Wuyang, it's not your turn to intervene in my affairs. When I ran away for the seventh time, I met Qingyun. We fell in love at first sight and I slept with him that night. I didn't like Erhu in the first place. It was his wishful thinking." "Just because he was wearing an official uniform at the time?"

Hua Shier mercilessly spoke out Lian Sheng's inner thoughts:
"You are a skinny guy from Yangzhou, so you were destined to be slept with by the officials, right? You don't like your second brother because he is a thief, doesn't know how to play the piano, chess, calligraphy, or painting, doesn't understand romance, and is of low status. He is not worthy of you, so the first time you saw Pang Qingyun, you slept with him, just because of his official uniform!"

Hua Twelve said as he drew out the short knife that Jiang Wuyang had prepared long ago:

"Sister-in-law, come down, I'll give you a ride!"

Liansheng was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he shook his head repeatedly: "I won't."

She didn't dare look at Hua Twelve and the knife in his hand. She looked away nervously and said in a trembling voice:

"I want to finish this gauze curtain. Have you ever seen such a beautiful gauze curtain? I haven't seen such a beautiful gauze curtain in more than ten years. I saw a red one in the shop yesterday. I want a green one and a red one. I asked Erhu what to do, and Erhu said green this year and red next year."

"I will be 29 years old next year. I have fought in wars for 14 years. I have neither starved to death nor been hacked to death. I am very lucky. I will hang red gauze curtains again next year. I will hang red gauze curtains again next year."

The fear reached its limit and Liansheng couldn't help but shout out.

Hua Twelve walked closer, pulled her down on the bed, pressed her neck with his left hand so that she couldn't move, and asked again:

"You know Pang Qingyun wants to kill my second brother, right?"

Liansheng kept shaking his head, but did not answer the question: "I don't believe you will kill me. I won't let you kill me. I have finally survived until now."

Hua Twelve shook his head:
"You and Pang Qingyun are really alike. You are both selfish and don't know how to be grateful. No wonder you can be together!"

"But you got one thing wrong. A skinny horse like you can live for a long time in troubled times. You haven't starved to death, nor been hacked to death, and you haven't been bullied by others. It's not because you are lucky, but because of Zhao Erhu."

"Without Zhao Erhu, who do you think you are? You are nothing, you are just a man's plaything!"

"Pang Qingyun was appointed as the Governor-General of Liangjiang by the Empress Dowager, a high-ranking official. Do you think you are worthy of him? Zhao Erhu is dead. Will he really marry you, a widow who used to be a skinny horse? Look at the high officials of the dynasty. Who married Biaozi as his principal wife? His principal wife is to be a lady of imperial decree. Are you worthy of him?"

"Do you really think Pang Qingyun killed Zhao Erhu for you? You are wrong. Shangguan asked him to do it. He had to do it for his future. He killed Zhao Erhu today for his future, and he can kill you, a skinny horse, for his future tomorrow."

Liansheng was completely defeated and shouted, "No, no, he won't kill me. He said he would marry me if he killed Erhu."

Click!

Hua Twelve directly broke Liansheng's neck with his left hand. Looking at Liansheng's wide-eyed expression, he shook his head:
"You really know!"

He turned his head and looked at the short sword raised in his right hand: "Speaking of which, why should I draw the sword?"

Hua Shier originally had no intention of killing Liansheng, because her crime was not punishable by death and he was not the one being cheated on. But now it is different. Liansheng really knew that Pang Qingyun wanted to kill Zhao Erhu, but she did not remind Zhao Erhu. This is what makes her a vicious woman who conspired with her adulterer.

Although she did not take the initiative, her behavior was no different from Pan Jinlian's, and was even worse, because Zhao Erhu had done her a favor, but she not only murdered her husband, but also repaid his kindness with hatred.

This is also a monster and should be killed!

After putting away the dagger, he turned around and left Zhao's Mansion and headed straight for Pang Qingyun's Mansion.

When they arrived at the gate of Pang Qingyun's mansion, Hua Twelve asked for the gate to be opened and walked in. The sky was filled with dark clouds, making people feel a little depressed. As soon as he entered the door, he was stopped:
"Third Master, the master said that he has official business today, so if you have anything else to do, come back tomorrow!"

"Why haven't I seen you before?"

Hua Shier glanced at the person who stopped him. It was a stranger, not an old man from the Shan Camp. He glanced around and saw many guards in the mansion who were also strangers. They all looked at him with vigilance.

Seeing that the man didn't reply and just kept repeating his previous words, Hua Twelve slapped him:
"Get out of here! I'm here at my eldest brother's house and I always go in whenever I want. How dare you stop me?"

The man was knocked to the ground by Hua Twelve, but the other guards rushed forward and blocked Hua Twelve's way.

"Everyone get out of here!"

Hua Twelve rushed straight in.

Choking!

Someone actually drew his sword!

Hua Twelve laughed and walked over: "You want to kill me?"

The man couldn't stand his momentum and subconsciously drew his sword and chopped at him.

"Well, you were the first to do it!"

Hua Twelve stretched out his left hand, passed his arm through the opponent's flaw, grabbed his neck, and with a click, broke the opponent's cervical vertebrae.

When the other guards saw him killing someone, they all drew their weapons and attacked.

General Pang’s Mansion, Flower Hall.

Pang Qingyun was pretending to be serious, sitting at a table full of wine. He was the only one at the table. He raised his glass to the empty table opposite him, tears in his eyes, and said affectionately:

"Erhu, good brother, don't blame me. Five years ago, there were 108 of us who came out of a small village and fought hard just for a bite to eat."

When I was talking about the touching part, I was about to be moved myself.
boom!
The door of the flower hall was kicked open and Hua Twelve stepped in. Behind him, beyond the second door in the distance, there were corpses lying on the ground.

"Wuyang, what are you going to do?"

"Pang Qingyun, you know best what you did. Stop pretending. I just killed Liansheng and now I'm sending you down to reunite with her!"

Pang Qingyun knew that the truth was revealed, so he suddenly overturned the table, letting the entire table top fall towards Hua Twelve. He used the table top as a cover and drew his sword to chop.

One arm smashed the table and grabbed onto his knife blade. With a click, the steel knife broke into pieces. Then the claw turned into a fist and hit him in the heart.

Pang Qingyun, like Liansheng, looked at Hua Twelve with his eyes wide open: "You, you are not Wuyang"

When I walked out of Pang Qingyun's mansion, raindrops as big as beans fell from the sky.

Hua Shier found a military horse in Pang's mansion and went straight out of the city. No one dared to stop him when he showed his face at the city gate. He found Zhao Erhu lying in the mud in a small town outside the city, dug a hole, and buried him, letting him rest in peace. This was considered to have put an end to the cause and effect of Jiang Wuyang. Then he did not stop for a moment, spurring his horse and whipping it, riding south.
