Heroes in the Three Kingdoms - C281

Yu Bai glared at Yu She, wanting him to not say anything. Yu She avoided his father’s sharp gaze and said: “Because of my grandmother’s serious illness, my father is as poor as a pauper, and I am unable to take out the money to help my grandmother treat her illness. Besides, our ancestors’ graves were damaged by the flood, and the clansmen, seeing that my father was an official, came to ask for some money to repair the ancestral graves and shrines. Grandmother’s illness worsened day by day, and the clan’s perverted gazes and comments were becoming more and more unfavorable for Father. Father would only temporarily divert the funds and provisions away from the disaster when he was extremely helpless! Besides, there weren’t many of them! But then again, if it wasn’t for that money, my grandmother wouldn’t have come back to life! ”

“Unfilial son!” You unfilial son! What nonsense are you spouting here! “If you hadn’t gone to gamble with the money and asked your dad to chase after the debt, you would have encouraged me to do so and I wouldn’t have done such a wrong thing!” The furious Yu Bai wanted to attack Yu She, but Yu She hid behind Li Xiong and begged: “Father, I know my wrongs! What is the use of such an official when you have worked for the Lord for so long and even your grandmother is ill and has no money to cure her? Not only have you served the present lord, you’ve also served the lord’s father! “Father!”

“Crack!” Yu Bai clenched his fists tightly and said bitterly, “You unfilial son, if you keep spouting nonsense, I’ll kill you!” With that, Yu Bai rushed to Li Xiong’s front and immediately raised his iron palm and struck down.

Li Xiong quickly grabbed Yu Bai’s hand and said: “Uncle Yu, you have so many secrets. We know that you are very loyal and that you have worked hard for my fourth brother’s family for so many years. Since Yu She is still young, if you don’t know anything, you can take your time to teach her. Yu Bai suddenly shook his head, and said: “No! There was no chance! I hope that the generals will take good care of this unfilial son and guide him from the good side! If he has done something evil, then clean my place! ” “Yu Shi was stunned.

Li Xiong, Chen Zhi and Zhang Tie were all stunned as they regained their senses, and anxiously said: “Uncle Yu, the situation has not reached a point where there is no turning back yet! You don’t have to do this! ” Yu Bai let out a long sigh, “Haha”, and then laughed foolishly for a while, before he said: “There are three counts of ‘treason’, and one of them is the embezzlement penalty. If there were enemies invading, the country would be at risk of dying. If the soldiers embezzled the relief money or food, it would lead to chaos in the disaster area. If refugees joined together, it would threaten the rule of the country! The most terrifying thing was that it would disrupt the entire world! Shaking the foundation of the government! How can I escape such a great sin? ”

Everyone looked at Yu Bai with astonished eyes, not knowing why he would place such a heavy crime on them. Yu Bai said word by word, “Any reward for those who have no achievements, or any slaughter of innocent people, the country would suffer and cause chaos from this point onwards! One of the most important reasons why Liu Bang won the world over was because of his distinct rewards and penalties. If the Lord forgives me in this difficult time, then I will give courage to those who want to corrupt me! If you kill me, it will serve as a deterrent. Killing someone to stop the corruption, why not? What’s more, I deserve it for my crimes! ” Yu Bai appeared to be extremely determined. He knew what the words he had said meant, but he did not care about death at all.

“Father!” Yu She was still not giving up and wanted to advise Yu Bai. Yu Bai used an irresistible sharp gaze and pierced into Yu She’s heart, and said: “Su’er, from today onwards, you cannot be like your father! You must serve your lord well! Don’t forget that our family owes a great debt to our second generation! Even if my whole family were to die to repay this kindness, it would not be too much! ”

Yu She still could not understand why his father would be so loyal to the Fan Clan. He shouted, “Father!” Alright! You have to listen to father! ” Seeing Yu Bai, he was so angry that he did not say a word. , Chen Zhi, Zhang Tie and the rest were stunned. They did not know how to persuade Yu Bai.

Suddenly, Yu Bai kneeled down towards Li Xiong and the other two, and pleaded: “General Li, General Chen, General Zhang, please do not tell me everything that you know in front of Master! Don’t plead for me! ” Li Xiong, Chen Zhi, and Zhang Tie looked at each other with difficulty.

Seeing that the three of them understood what was going on, Yu Bai immediately knelt down and kowtowed three times towards Li Xiong and the others, to the point that blood kept flowing out. Li Xiong rushed to the front of Yu Bai, wanting to help him up, but Yu Bai used his strength to not let Li Xiong help him up. He gazed at Li Xiong and the others with pleading eyes, and begged: “I beg you! I’ve never begged anyone in my life, and now I’m begging you! If I continue to live like this, it will be a fate worse than death! ”

Li Xiong, Chen Zhi and Zhang Tie looked at each other, and in the end, the three had no choice but to nod their heads in agreement. Yu Bai still had to confirm: “Are you really not going to plead for me in front of Master?” Chen Zhi and Zhang Tie’s faces were ugly and speechless. Li Xiong knew that Yu Bai had already made his decision, and seeing that his two brothers were in a difficult situation, he could only carry all the hardships on his shoulders and said: “Alright!” After Xiong said this, he supported Yu Bai up and said: “Quickly get up!” Only then did Yu Bai stand up.

Yu Bai did not forget to remind Yu She at the end, “Su’er, remember the last words that father said to you. It wouldn’t be too much to ask us to die ten thousand times to repay you! “Do you remember?” Fan family! Fan family! “Father, how could you be poisoned so deeply? All you can remember is the Fan family!” “My son!” Yu Bai shouted.

Li Xiong, Chen Zhi, and Zhang Tie all stared at Yu She, causing Yu She to clench his teeth. Finally, he said helplessly: “Fine! Father, I promise you! ” Yu She couldn’t help but think in his heart.

Yu Bai knew that Li Xiong and the others did not only come to visit him, they also brought up the matter of questioning. Thus, he looked at the prison door, pointed, and said: “Let this old servant serve the old master again! Sigh! It’s a pity that this old servant can’t serve by Young Master’s side in the future! “Young master!” Hey! “Sigh!” Yu She sighed at his father’s stubbornness and ran out furiously.

Li Xiong secretly whispered into Zhang Tie’s ears, “Third brother, take a shortcut and tell Fourth Brother everything that has happened, and Second Brother and I will accompany Uncle Yu! “During this period of time, we will try our best to stall for time!” Zhang Tie frowned as he stared at Xiong and said: “But Big Brother, didn’t we promise Uncle Yu that we wouldn’t help him plead for him?”

“Ai!” Xiong sighed and shook his head, saying, “Third brother, even though we promised not to plead, we did not promise not to tell fourth brother the whole truth!” Oh! “Yes!” After all, he did not want Yu Bai to die in his heart. Xiong nodded his head: “Un! “Alright!”

Taking a shortcut and going into my residence, he told me the whole story of how Yu Bai embezzled the relief money and food. I was stunned. I stared up at the sky with a lifeless look in my eyes. Due to the promise he had made, he naturally could not speak up to plead for mercy. He could only look at Fan Ju at the side, and hope that Fan Ju could say a few words.

Fan Ju came in front of me as he was well aware of the situation, and said: “Fourth brother, what Yu Bai has done is within reason, and he only wants to temporarily borrow it! Why don’t we just spare him once and not do it the next time? “How about it?”

“Spare him? Spare him? ” I said to myself as my mind raced. I wanted to spare Uncle Yu, but how could I explain this to the victims of the disaster who were always hungry and awaiting reinforcements? How can I be worthy of those heroes who have risked their lives to fight against the flood, and how can I console the souls of my dead brothers in heaven?

The suffering of the victims of the flood appeared before me one by one, and my heart ached. And then there were the babies, their eager eyes and expressions echoing in my head. I am the Lord of Jiao Prefecture and the Supreme Commander of Changsha, how can I abandon justice for my own affairs? Sigh!

Tie Ta and Fan Ju looked at me, who was in a dilemma, and both of them remained silent. At this time, the servant came to report: Master, General Li and General Chen are holding the prisoner Yu Bai in custody here!

“NO!” I don’t want to be face to face with him! ” I cried out involuntarily, because I was afraid that if I saw Yu Bai, my heart would soften, and I would not be able to harden my heart. Fan Ju and Tie Yi looked at each other. After seeing my actions, they understood what decision I was going to make. Fan Ju wanted to say another sentence, but just as he was about to continue, I stretched out a hand and said to Fan Ju, “Brother, you don’t need to say anymore! “Stop talking!” “Sigh!” Fan Ju sighed helplessly.

When Yu Bai came in and saw me sitting behind the pearl curtain, he couldn’t help but be disappointed, because he wanted to see me one last time, but I couldn’t see him. When I presented all of the evidence in front of Yu Bai, he admitted his wrongs. Amongst them, Li Xiong, Chen Zhi, Zhang Tie, and Fan Ju were in extreme pain. They had impulsively tried to speak up again and again, but in the end, they had to endure it.

The one in charge of handling this case was Shu Zhong, he saw that the matter was clear, so he shouted loudly: “Conviction!” I know that now that the death penalty has been decided, it’s impossible to keep her alive. I got up from my chair and said, “No! “No!” When Shu Zhong heard my voice, he turned to me and asked, “Master, is there anything else you need to tell me?” “I …” I was stunned. What should I do? Is the public greater than the private, or is the private greater than the public? What should he do?

Yu Bai was afraid that I would go back on my word, and he immediately replied: “Young Master! This old servant hasn’t called you that in a long time! Young master, you are no longer that rich young master from before, but a peerless hero who is the master of the Jiao Prefecture! This old servant is proud of you, and the lord and mistress can laugh! “Since you, selfless one, already know what to do, why hesitate?” “Yu …” I stretched out my left hand towards Yu Bai, unable to utter a single word.

Yu Bai was most afraid that something might change, so he stood up and quickly rushed to the Master, grabbed the evidence and brush in his hands, then quickly drew them, bit his thumb, and covered the bloody handprint on the guilty count’s face. Yu Bai smiled at Shu Zhong and said, “Master Shu, I have already given my confession to you! This case can now be concluded! ” After Yu Bai said this, he cupped his hands in a guilty gesture and handed them over to Shu Zhong. Shu Zhong was startled for a moment, then said: “Bring the criminal back to death row! Waiting for the time when the three minutes are up for the decision to be made! ”

When the guards heard his orders, they immediately went forward to catch Yu Bai and escort him back to the prison, but with every step Yu Bai took, he would turn his head to look at me, because his greatest regret was that he was unable to see my last side.

“Ah?” “I have to make a decision!” I was so frightened by the three words “make up my mind”, my heart tightened and I couldn’t help but rush out of the bead curtain. With widened eyes, I stretched out my left hand towards Yu Bai and shouted, “Wait! Yu Bai is free… ”
