King of Han Dynasty of Ming Dynasty

in the hall.

Zhu Gaoxu probably guessed what Zhang Ziming and Wang Yan had in mind.

However, he did not expose the two people's little thoughts.

Then, he nodded at the two of them and said:

"Row."

"In this case, I also find it interesting."

"You might as well be a witness between the three of you."

After hearing this.

In the field, except for Zhang Ziming, Wang Yan and Duan Li.

Everyone couldn't help but show a hint of curiosity, and looked back and forth at the three of them.

Got a positive answer.

Although Duan Li now had some doubts in his mind about whether Zhang Ziming and Wang Yan were really the murderers who murdered his family, he did not say anything more and began to talk in the hall without incident. He recounted in detail everything that happened to his family when his father Duan Xu was promoted and left Linchuan Fucheng.

It started with Duan Li's narration.

Everyone in the field listened attentively.

Escape from Duan Li's tiger's mouth and find happiness after suffering.

And he met kind-hearted people who supported and trained him, and in the end, he was sent to the official career and rose to great heights.

Then how he worked so hard to move the place he ruled to the place where his father had served, and everything he did in the officialdom of Linchuan Fucheng.

Wait until Duan Li details everything that has happened to him in the past few decades.

Everyone in the field couldn't help but frown, with a little suspicion on their faces.

It’s not surprising that everyone looked like this.

The main reason is that after listening to Duan Li's story, everyone did not find anything inappropriate in his life experience.

In the eyes of everyone, this is just a sad history of a boy's struggle to avenge his father.

There is nothing special in it.

Thinking of this, everyone looked curiously at Zhang Ziming and Wang Yan who were standing not far away, wanting to see what conclusions they could draw from Duan Li's life story.

After all, everyone had just heard the two men's sworn words. As long as Duan Lizai told his life story in detail, the two of them could find out who was hiding in the dark, manipulating the grudges of the three families, and killing the three of them. The real murderer of the family’s father’s generation.

Feeling the eyes focused on them, Zhang Ziming and Wang Yan frowned and pondered for a moment, as if they had thought of something, then their expressions became extremely solemn and they said in a deep voice:
"Master Duan"

"Since so much has been said and described, and it has been said in front of the prince, there will be no hiding or concealment."

"But why do you never mention the identity of the person who has supported you since childhood?"

"what happened?"

"I don't want to mention it, or..."

This statement came out.

Everyone in the field who was originally deep in thought was stunned for a moment, their eyes narrowed unconsciously, and they couldn't help but feel shocked.

yes! !
Why did Duan Li not even mention the identity or even the name of the person who funded him?

They are all referred to as "good Samaritans".

In this way, people can't help but think more, it seems a little deliberate and weird.

At the same time, it also made people think more about it, and they couldn't help but guess the identity of the so-called 'good Samaritan'.

To know.
In this era, under the current background of the environment.

Where are there so many 'good Samaritans' in this world?
Who is willing to provide support to a stranger who is not close to him for no reason without asking for anything in return?

After all, the cost of financial support from childhood to adulthood, from studying to becoming an official, etc., is not a small amount of money!
In the current environment of the Ming Dynasty, let alone benevolent to help others, in many large families, for the education of their children, if they are not the legitimate son or the mother's faction is not extremely capable and supportive, they will not get a good education at all. resources and environment.

Under such a big background, who can have such a good intention to help a stranger?

This kind of behavior is really weird and strange.

Who can believe that there is no purpose, or that it is to achieve a certain purpose?

is it possible?
Is there such a boy who throws away money in the world?

Where's the liar?

For a moment, everyone couldn't help but have deep doubts about the identity of the 'good Samaritan' mentioned by Duan Li, and also had some guesses and ideas.

Feeling the gazes of everyone in the venue and the change in the atmosphere, Duan Li couldn't help but be startled, then smiled.

Zhang Ziming and Wang Yan did not shy away from the questions raised by Zhang Ziming and Wang Yan. They shrugged helplessly and replied:
"No, no."

"It's Zhang Ziming and Wang Yan who are worrying too much about this matter."

"It's not that I don't want to tell you, but I don't know how to answer your question."

"Because from the beginning to the end, I didn't know the identity of the person who sponsored me."

"Ever since I was a child, I have never met that person. Everything I get is handed over to me by others in various forms."

"So, I can't answer the question about this person's identity."

Got a positive answer.

As a result, the doubts in the hearts of everyone in the venue became more and more intense, and they couldn't help but secretly shout:
"There's definitely a problem."

"It's so weird."

Compared to everyone's surprise, Zhang Ziming and Wang Yan, the protagonists of this incident, couldn't help but let out a long breath subconsciously, with an expression on their faces that was exactly what I expected, and then they said to each other They looked at each other and asked:

"My lord."

"A person with such an active mind is not a fool."

"Have you ever had any doubts about such a weird and hidden funding method?"

"Or are you not afraid that this is a trap deliberately set by others?"

"Just like this, enjoying other people's support?"

"This doesn't look like someone who has gone through a tragedy and is hiding in Tibet, fearing that his enemies will come and be completely silenced!"

After hearing this, Duan Li smiled noncommittally, glanced at Zhang Ziming and Wang Yan with half-closed eyes, then gave a 'poke' smile and coldly snorted:

"trap?"

"Weird, scared, suspicious?"

"Zhang Ziming, Wang Yan, I'm afraid that you two are so full that you don't know how hungry you are!"

"A teenage boy with no relatives and a blood feud on his back. He had no food to eat and lived like a beggar."

"Who cares so much at this time?"

"If you can survive, someone is willing to help you. If you two put yourself in another position, would you care so much and think so much?"

"Besides, I've already ended up in that situation. I already know everything. Even if there is a plan, it doesn't matter if it's a trap. What do I have to fear?"

"Is it better than starving to death?"

"If you accept it, you will have hope of living. If you don't accept it, you will starve to death or freeze to death. The outcome is not certain."

"If the two of you were to be in a situation like this, what choice would you make?"

"Ok?"

This statement.

It made everyone present dumbfounded.

Everyone couldn't help but frowned subconsciously, and the expressions on their faces changed again and again, which was extremely wonderful.

Although I feel very strange and incredible in my heart.

But I couldn't find any words to refute. After all, think about it if you were faced with such a scene.

The choice he made was probably the same as the choice Duan Li made.

Life and death.

It seems like a simple two words.

But they are the two words that best reflect human nature.

As the saying goes: It is better to die than live.

This statement is true for adults.

Let alone a child in his teens, and this child is still carrying a blood feud.

face questioning.

After a while, Zhang Ziming and Wang Yan slowly came back to their senses from their daze. They couldn't help but look slightly sideways at Duan Li's experience, but they still had sympathy and pity.

However, the two of them knew that now was not the time. After all, their lives and fortunes were involved.

Although he had just spoken in front of Zhu Gaoxu, he had spoken so righteously.

But who is willing to die if he can live?
When it comes to choosing the death of others or one's own death, people are selfish.

"That's it."

"We also sympathize with your childhood experiences and understand the embarrassment of your situation at that time."

"When I was a child, I didn't care. After all, I was lucky to be alive."

"But with Master Duan's thoughts and such demonic support, I believe you must also have doubts and concerns in your heart."

"And I must have had doubts later on, and traced the people who funded you behind the scenes."

"I wonder if Mr. Duan can tell me the results of your investigation."

Zhang Ziming and Wang Yan stared at Duan Li with half-closed eyes, waiting for his answer.

After hearing this, Duan Li was slightly startled, then sneered "haha", shook his head helplessly, and replied:

"The result of the investigation?"

"You two are worrying too much, I don't have that many consequences!"

"Moreover……"

"I guess you two are extremely smart people. Do you think that others are so cautious in doing things and the ways of providing support are constantly changing?"

"Under such circumstances, will there really be any clues left for me to find?"

"Do you really think others are stupid?"

Having said this, he paused, looked at the two of them with a sarcastic face, and said in a deep voice:

"Since you two are so smart and like to be smart."

"How about you two come up with a solution for me?"

"Find for me this person who is hiding behind the scenes and funding me?"

"It also opened my eyes to see who this person is."

"I just wanted to ask why he was so kind and gave me such great help."

"What exactly have they been asking for all these years?"

"Mingmu who made me die well."

That's what I said.

It's not unpleasant to hear.

Regarding this statement, Zhang Ziming and Wang Yan were not a little angry. They turned to another question and asked:

"Well"

"Master Duan, there is no need to be angry."

"Let's not mention this matter for now."

"Then let's talk about another thing.
"I wonder if Mr. Duan can tell me the true identities of the Li and Yuan families who were supported by you in Linchuan Fucheng, competed with our two families, and squeezed our two families' living space?"

"Come to think of it, Mr. Duan should be aware of this problem and not be embarrassed, right?"

After hearing this, the sarcasm and ridicule on Duan Li's face became more intense. He did not answer directly, but asked directly:
"Is it still necessary to ask this question?"

"I think with your family's methods, you are already familiar with the lives of Li and Yuan, as well as Lao Di, so why should you ask me?"

"Or maybe you two can't find anything to talk about and are deliberately trying to delay time in an attempt to get through?"

Zhang Ziming and Wang Yan sneered "haha", shook their heads and said:
"Master Duan, there is no need to be excited."

"This matter is actually our fault."

"It's our fault that we didn't ask clearly and express clearly."

"The two of us mainly want to ask the Li and Yuan families. When Mr. Duan took office in Linchuan City, did he actively seek cooperation from the two families, or did the two families actively seek cooperation from Mr. Duan? "

This statement came out.

Duan Li was startled and looked over with a puzzled expression, slightly dazed.

After a moment, he came back to his senses, raised his eyebrows, and replied:
"What does this mean?"

“Does it matter who cooperates with whom?”

"What does it have to do with the people behind the scenes who are manipulating everything?"

"That shouldn't be the case, right?"

"After all, as far as I know, the Li and Yuan families have been in Linchuan Fucheng for many years, but their business is not as good as yours."

Having said this, he paused, as if he thought of something, and was slightly startled. He subconsciously exclaimed:
"what?"

"No. No."

"This, this, this"

"The Li and Yuan families came to Sichuan Fucheng to take root in the second year after our fathers died."

"According to the two of you, do you want to say that the two families behind the scenes have been prepared and arranged by the people behind the scenes?"

"You were waiting for me in Linchuan City early, knowing that I would return to Linchuan City to take revenge?"

"How is this possible?"

"Why are the people behind the scenes so sure that I will return to Linchuan Fucheng to serve?"

"What if I don't come back?"

"Or maybe I work hard to climb up, and then I get a high position and order my people to deal with this matter?"

"Or, how about taking revenge on your two families by other means?"

"This, this, this"

Seeing Duan Li mumbling in fear and panic, with an expression of disbelief on his face.

Zhang Ziming and Wang Yan glanced at each other, smiled noncommittally, raised the corners of their mouths slightly, and said:
"Why is it impossible to be sure that you will return to Linchuan Fucheng?"

"The blood feud that wiped out the family, such a huge hatred, whoever takes action will not be as comfortable and comfortable as doing it yourself, right?"

"If you can take revenge by yourself, how many people are willing to borrow the help of others?"

"As for Mr. Duan, what you said just now is that the Li and Yuan families are not doing well and are not as good as ours?"

"Your Majesty, have you ever thought about it over the years? In fact, our two families have extended an olive branch to the two of them. We share the same hatred, advance and retreat together, and form an offensive and defensive alliance. We can share some of the benefits."

"This move was flatly rejected by others." (End of chapter)
