Chapter 1320 Who Are You?
"Do you really think so?"
"You can learn from your sincerity every word, 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 bring about the disaster of death.
The person behind the screen held his breath for a long time, and finally sighed slowly, "There has been a three-year drought in the north of the Yangtze River. There has been no harvest. The land has dried up for thousands of miles. Millions of victims have eaten grass roots and tree barks. Wherever they pass, it is like a plague of locusts, with no grass growing. They even hide in remote places late at night." Everywhere, people eat each other, human life is as cheap as a piece of grass, and the misery cannot be made worse. Food, grass, and silver for disaster relief are withheld at all levels, and none of them are left in the hands of the victims. There are many bones on the roadside, and the stench of corpses can be heard for miles away. "
"In the spring of the second year, when the disaster had subsided a little and it was time for disaster relief and compensation, someone proposed to the emperor that he should use the treasury money to rebuild the palace in order to frighten foreign countries and strengthen the power of our king. All the ministers agreed. However, Hou Hou failed to respond after three remonstrances, so he was finally forced to Above the imperial hall, in front of the Emperor's Hall, thirty-three sins were written, directed at the powerful officials of the court. Finally, he asked the Emperor to issue an edict to express his gratitude to the people of the world. "
"The first crime is being a traitor, the second crime is killing the faithful, the third crime is deceiving the superiors and the subordinates, the fourth crime is enriching one's own pockets, the fifth crime is bullying the women of the people, the sixth crime is repaying kindness with revenge, the seventh crime is betraying friends to seek glory, and the eighth crime is eunuchs disrupting the country."
Listening to each of these events, the fat man's forehead was dripping with cold sweat. He thought to himself that no wonder Hou Hou was ordered to die by the emperor and died so miserably. Not only did he tear off the peaceful fig leaf of Man Chaowu, he also took it with him. He slapped the emperor and completely put himself in the position of the public enemy.
If it were someone else who was in trouble, someone might come forward to ask for mercy. The emperor might just step down and give him a little punishment, and it would be over. But this Hunhou has offended all the military forces in the court. Who will plead for him? It would be good to add insult to injury. Maybe some honest people wanted to save him, but due to the majesty of the emperor, they were powerless.
Hou Hou had the power of enlightenment to the temple at that time, but he brought about the disaster of death.
As the mysterious man revealed everything about Hou Hou, Jiang Cheng finally confirmed the identity of the other party. It was unmistakable that the person behind the screen was Hou Yanyan, 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, the boy from Jiangcheng shrank suddenly. He understood. This was just like a person reading a newspaper. The rectangular block was the newspaper being held up!
Newspaper man!
The owner of the tomb, the so-called arrogant prince, is the newspaper man!
Finally found it.
Seeing the newspaper man appear in Jiangcheng, I strangely didn't feel much fear, but more of a relief. This newspaper man is 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 treacherous and evil people. 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 a step forward and walked towards the screen with the fat man's frightened eyes.
He wanted to come face to face with the newspaper man and recognize the face under his newspaper.
But just when he was about to touch the screen, suddenly, the screen that was so close to Chi Chi suddenly distanced itself from him. Jiang Cheng continued walking, and just as he raised his hand, the screen was a few steps away from him again.
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 enunciation, as if there was something in his mouth. Jiang Cheng recalled what Liu Xueyi said about the golden water being poured down his throat. He could probably imagine what the other person looked like. He looked so handsome, which is probably why he chose to cover his face with a newspaper.
Jiang Cheng didn't force it, he just still had many questions to ask, "What should I call you, Hou Hou, Hou Wang, or Newspaper Man?"
Hearing this, there was a slight clattering sound from behind the screen, and the other party seemed to be flipping through a newspaper, "The title is 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 asked him the question. He frowned subconsciously, "Me?"
"Yes, who are you? Jiang Cheng, the doctor, or Lu Jianli?"
As Lu Jianli said the three words, Jiang Cheng suddenly felt a strange aura coming from him. It was a feeling he had never experienced before, spreading from his bones, "Lu Jianli, how do you know this name?"
The first time Jiang Cheng heard this name was during the mission of the Ghost Bride. The person the Ghost Bride was waiting for was named Lu Jianli, and she looked exactly like him.
But it was just a paper man, a paper man created by evil spirits using sorcery.
But thinking about it now, an uneasy atmosphere fermented in my heart. Is there really such a coincidence, a paper man who looks exactly like me?
Or is it that this paper man is copied from a real template? 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 his first meeting with the night watchman. The other party was stunned after seeing his face clearly. He had obviously seen him before, and even knew him, but this process should not be pleasant, because he detected a trace of unrestrained fear in the other party's initial eyes. It was not until the other party confirmed that he was not the guy in his impression that his eyes settled down.
Who is the guy he knows who is exactly the same as himself?
As if he noticed Jiang Cheng's thoughts, the newspaper man said in a deeper voice: "I have seen you, a long, long time ago. You were completely different from now. You were a very pure and terrible guy."
"At that time, you shuttled between 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 us. You have the taste 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."
