All the heavens, starting with Little Li Flying Dagger

Chapter 21 One person for seventeen years, eight people for seventeen years.
Gongsun Yu spoke sharply, her voice filled with grief and indignation.

"You beast, how dare you speak so self-righteously?!"

"Because of what you beast did, my second brother, whose 'eyes are like lightning,' went blind. He felt he had misjudged people, so he blinded himself and became a fortune teller!"

"My fourth brother was originally the young master of a small business, but now he's become a quack doctor selling unorthodox medicines!"

"The fifth brother of the owner of the Wansheng Garden has become a duck feet seller!"

"He split Mount Hua in two and became a woodcutter; he braved fire and water to sell stinky tofu!"

"My sister-in-law used to be a famous beauty in the surrounding villages, but now she has a scar the size of a bowl on her face and has become a one-eyed butcher!"

"Because of you, the seven of us brothers have wasted seventeen years of our lives. Tell me, don't you deserve to die?!"

Bian Hao also angrily cupped his hands in a gesture towards Wang Gan's direction.

"Brother Wang, tell me, does this man deserve to die?"

Wang Gan did not answer, but looked at Tie Chuanjia with a mocking expression.

"Hearing what they say, Tie Chuanjia, you really deserve to die."

"Not only should he die, but he should be torn apart by five horses."

Tie Chuanjia simply smiled calmly.

“Young Master Wang is absolutely right. You are the young master’s friend. If I, an unrighteous, disloyal, and unfilial person, could die by your hand, I could die in peace.”

Wang Gan laughed and pointed at Tie Chuanjia.

"When I said you deserve to die, I wasn't referring to the fact that you killed your entire family. I was saying that you truly deserve to be Li Xunhuan's servant; just like him, you're a self-righteous, self-righteous, and selfish person!"

Upon hearing this, Tie Chuanjia's face turned extremely ugly, and he shut his mouth, not daring to utter another word.

"Brother Wang, what do you mean by this?!"

Bian Hao's expression changed.
The blind man stepped forward, his tone unfriendly.

“Old blind man, I know that your willingness to come and witness this matter is already a great honor for us brothers, and we are very grateful,”

"But if you are slandering our elder brother, we brothers will fight to the death to seek justice for him."

Wang Gan completely ignored the two men and only stared at Tie Chuanjia.

"Tie Chuanjia, do you think what you've done is worthy of the kindness Weng Tianjie showed you with a meal, but worthy of the innocent old and young people Weng Tianjie killed, and worthy of the brothers who have wasted seventeen years of their lives?"

"You deserve to die because you have petty sense of justice but not the greater good, selfishness but not public-spiritedness, and you take yourself too seriously!"

Upon hearing this, Bian Hao's face turned terribly ugly, but he still managed to suppress his anger.
"Brother Wang, what exactly do you mean by that?"

Wang Gan looked them over.
"You've asked me to seek justice for you, so may I ask you brothers a few questions?"

The blind man took a step forward.
"As brothers, we wouldn't dare claim to be the epitome of loyalty and righteousness, but we have a clear conscience. If you have any questions, we will answer them without hesitation!"

Wang Gan nodded.

"it is good!"

"You say that your eldest brother, Weng Tianjie, is incredibly righteous and helpful, and that he makes friends with many heroes. As long as you are a like-minded friend, you can receive his assistance. Is that right?"

Bian Hao nodded without hesitation.

"Yes!"

Wang Gan continued to ask questions.

"Then let me ask you, if Weng Tianjie encountered a hero like Tie Chuanjia, he would surely treat him to good food and drink, feast him for months, and give him a considerable amount of travel expenses when he left, wouldn't that be right?"

Bian Hao continued to nod.

"That's right, my older brother is the kind of person who loves making friends, values ​​friendship over money, and is even more risk-free."

A mocking smile curled at the corner of Wang Gan's lips.
"In that case, a single hero would cost a lot of money, not to mention those who come to beg for help or those who are truly in dire need, there are too many to count." "Being righteous and making friends with heroes is not something that can be achieved with words alone, but rather with real money. If this kind of expenditure continues year after year, even mountains of gold and silver wouldn't be enough to burn through."

Upon hearing this, Tie Chuanjia finally couldn't hold back anymore, and tears streamed down his face.

"I thought I could keep this a secret forever, for the sake of my elder brother's reputation, but I never expected that I was just deceiving myself."

Everyone present was taken aback and speechless.

"Shut up! What kind of time is this to still be slandering our elder brother!"

Jin Fengbai's expression turned cold, and he actually pulled out a short knife from his pocket, intending to stab Tie Chuanjia to death on the spot!
But then Wang Gan flicked his finger, and a burst of finger force struck Jin Fengbai's acupoint, rendering him unable to move.

"Tie Chuanjia, are you saying that Brother has been doing business without any investment?"

Bian Hao said in horror,
Some things are nothing on the scale, but once you put them on, they can weigh a ton.

None of you here are fools. There are some things we can't think of, but we just don't want to think about them, or dare not think about them.

Wang Gan sighed.

“Aunt Weng, you are Weng Tianjie’s wife, and you know better than anyone how much wealth Weng Tianjie has.”

"Tell me, can Weng Tianjie's household produce withstand such a drain?"

Aunt Weng's face turned pale, and she staggered back two steps.

"No wonder...no wonder...no wonder Tianjie is away from home for several months every year. I thought he was visiting friends."

Tie Chuanjia took a deep breath and slowly opened his mouth.

"I had heard that Brother Weng was involved in banditry, so I deliberately approached him to confirm the information."

"Although Brother Weng did do bad things, he treated me like a brother and never mistreated me in the slightest."

"Later, Brother Weng was attacked by his enemies and died. After he died, the matter was over. I couldn't bear to see Brother Weng's reputation tarnished, so I never told the truth."

The blind man trembled all over, turned to Jin Fengbai, and his white eyes suddenly shot out lightning!

"Jin Fengbai! You were about to kill Tie Chuanjia!"

"Tell me, did you already know about this all along?!"

Therefore, everyone present was not stupid; in fact, they were quite intelligent, but they simply refused to face the truth.

"Hehe. Second Brother is indeed Second Brother. Even though he's blind, he's still a wise man with eyes as sharp as lightning."

Jin Fengbai laughed bitterly.

"That's right, I discovered it by accident. My brother was indeed struggling to make ends meet, which forced him to turn to banditry. But he only robbed the rich and heartless."

"Then why don't you say so?!"

Gongsun Yu shouted angrily,
Jin Fengbai was frank.
"Even Tie Chuanjia, out of gratitude for a single meal, hid for seventeen years, willing to be scolded rather than tarnish his elder brother's reputation."

"I, Jin Fengbai, am sworn brothers with my elder brother, and I am certainly not a coward, which is why I have been enduring this."

Everyone present was trembling uncontrollably, unable to accept this truth.
Seventeen years of torment, seventeen years of suffering, have now become a joke, a huge joke.

The righteousness they uphold is actually the work of a hypocrite; the villains they hunt down are the true heroes.

Wang Gan glanced around and sighed.

"Tie Chuanjia, look at this, this is the place where you deserve to die."

"You thought you had fulfilled your own sense of righteousness and enhanced the reputation of Weng Tianjie as a hypocrite, but you wasted seventeen years of these heroes' time and their seventeen years of loyalty."

"If one person wastes seventeen years, and eight people add up to one hundred and thirty-six years, do you think you can bear the responsibility?"
