Chapter 1319 Who are you
“Do you really...really think so?”
“Every word is true, and it is definitely not a lie!” Standing up, Jiang Cheng said sternly : "Please tell me, sir, what exactly Hun Hou did to offend Long Yan and recruit him. This is a fatal disaster."
The person behind the screen held his breath for a long time, and finally sighed slowly, "There has been a severe drought in Jiangbei for three years, and there has been no harvest. The land has been dry for thousands of miles, and millions of victims have eaten grass roots and bark. It's like a plague of locusts passing by without any grass growing, or even hiding in remote places late at night to eat each other. Life is as cheap as grass, and the misery cannot be made worse. Food, grass, and silver for disaster relief were withheld at every turn, and none of them were left in the hands of the victims. There were many bones on the roadside when they fled, and the stench of corpses could be heard for miles away. "
"In the spring of the second year, The disaster had subsided a little, and at the time of disaster relief and compensation, someone reported to the emperor that he proposed to take action. We used the treasury money to rebuild the palace in order to frighten foreigners and strengthen our king's power. All the ministers agreed. The Hun Hou failed to remonstrate three times and was finally forced to go to the court. In front of the Emperor's Palace, a thirty-three sin book was written. Referring to the powerful ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, they finally asked the emperor to issue an imperial edict to thank the people of the world. "
"The first crime is to be a traitor and a sycophant, the second crime is to kill the faithful, the third crime is to deceive superiors and subordinates, the fourth crime is to enrich one's own pockets, the fifth crime is to bully the women of the people, the sixth crime is to repay kindness with hatred, the seventh crime is to betray friends for glory, and the eighth crime is to eunuch to cause chaos in the country..."
The fat man listened to these piles one by one Cold sweat dripped from his forehead, thinking that no wonder Hou Hou died so miserably after being ordered to die by the emperor. Not only did he tear off the peaceful fig leaf of the civil and military officials of the court, but he also gave the emperor a slap in the face, completely putting himself in front of the emperor. assumed the position of public enemy.
If it were someone else who was suffering, maybe someone would come forward to ask for help, the emperor might just get off the donkey, give a little punishment, and it would be over. But this Hunhou has offended all the civil and military officials of the dynasty. Who can It would be nice to intercede for him and not add insult to injury. Maybe some honest people want to save him, but due to the majesty of the emperor, they are powerless.
Hun Hou had the power to enlighten the temple at that time, but he himself was killed.
As the mysterious man revealed everything about Hun Hou, Jiang Cheng finally confirmed the identity of the other party. It was unmistakable. The person behind the screen was Wang Yanhou, the owner of the tomb of blood corpses.
It seems that he no longer wants to hide his identity. The shadow left by the mysterious man on the screen gradually changes. The body changes are limited. The biggest changes are the head and upper body, which widen in an indescribable way, and then get wider. Finally, the head is connected with the lower half of the body. The entire upper body is close to forming a square.
After a few seconds, Jiang Cheng's pupils shrank sharply. He understood. Isn't this what a person looks like reading a newspaper? The rectangular block is the newspaper being held up!
Newspaper Man!
The owner of the tomb, the so-called arrogant man, is the newspaper man!
Finally... found it.
When I saw the newspaper man appear in Jiangcheng, I strangely didn't feel much fear, but more of a relief. This newspaper man was similar to the ghost bride to a certain extent. Who would have thought that the only two law enforcers on the bus Surprisingly, they are not all evil villains. The newspaper man is loyal and hates evil, but the ghost bride is loyal to love. After learning the truth of the whole thing, she also chooses to leave these ignorant villagers a way out.
Jiang Cheng calmed down. He knew that he had to end things with the newspaper man. He took steps towards the screen with the fat man's frightened eyes.
He wanted to face the newspaper man face to face and recognize the face under his newspaper.
But just when he was about to touch the screen, suddenly, the screen that was so close suddenly distanced itself from him. Jiang Cheng continued walking, and just as he raised his hand, the screen was again a few steps away from him. step.
This feeling is surprisingly strange. The clear screen and the newspaper man behind the screen show no signs of moving, as if the hall is constantly extending backwards.
"You don't need to see my face clearly. My face... is scary."
The voice from behind the screen was hollow, even with a hint of unclear articulation, as if there was something in the mouth. Jiang Cheng recalled what Liu Xueyi said about pouring gold water down his throat. He could probably imagine how dignified the other party looked. This was probably why he chose to cover his face with a newspaper.
Jiang Cheng did not force it, he just still had many questions to ask, "What should I call you, Hou Hou, Hou Yanyan, or... Newspaper Man?"
After hearing this, the screen passed There was a slight clattering sound, and the other party seemed to be flipping the newspaper, "The title is just It’s just a code name. After so many years, I can hardly recognize who I am. What about you?”
The topic changed a bit abruptly. Jiang Cheng didn’t understand why the other party put the question to him. , he frowned subconsciously, "Me?"
"Yes, who are you? Jiang Cheng, the doctor, or... Lu Jianli?"
As the words "Lu Jianli" came out, Jiang Cheng suddenly felt a strange aura coming from him. An unprecedented feeling spread from the bone marrow, "Lu Jianli...how do you know this name?"
The first time Jiang Cheng heard this name was during the ghost bride's mission. The man the bride has been waiting for is called Lu Jianli, and he looks exactly like herself.
But it was just a paper man, a paper man made by evil spirits using sorcery.
But when I think about it now, an uneasy atmosphere ferments in my heart. Is it really... is there such a coincidence, a paper man who looks exactly like me?
Or... this paper man is a replica of a real template. At least... at least those Yinxing people have seen someone who looks exactly like themselves. Otherwise, how could they make such a complete and exquisite paper man?
At the same time, Jiang Cheng's thoughts returned. He thought of the first time he met the watchman. The other party was shocked after seeing his face clearly. He had obviously seen him before. , even... even getting to know himself, but this process should not be pleasant, because he noticed a trace of unchecked fear in the other person's initial eyes, until the other person confirmed that he was not the guy in his impression, his eyes Just settled down.
Who is the guy he knows who looks exactly like him?
Seemingly aware of Jiang Cheng's thoughts, the newspaper man said in a deeper voice: "I met you, a long, long time ago. You were completely different back then than you are now. You were a very pure and terrifying person. Guy."
"At that time, you were traveling through different worlds, doing whatever you wanted. We didn't know how to describe you, let alone how to stop you."
"Your appearance is completely different from those of us. You have the flavor of that world. You represent another kind of power that we cannot understand. You are the key and the ultimate."
"But you are not complete now." (End of Chapter)
