Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 150 Mistake
"Oh? The person you know is willing to lend you the money personally, but he won't tell you that you can go to the charity for help?"

"They didn't tell me at the time because the Jiren Society was once indirectly controlled by a powerful but unkind man. Some poor people who went there for help not only didn't get help, but were bullied by the powerful for many reasons because they were 'unwise' to go there. The people I know no longer trusted the Jiren Society, and they didn't tell me just because they didn't want me to be bullied. But later I found out that just before I asked those people to borrow money, the unkind man had been punished by an honest official, and the Jiren Society was no longer controlled by the unkind man at that time. It's just that the people I had contact with were not well-informed and didn't know about the incident. If I had gone to the Jiren Society for help during the days when I asked them to borrow money, I could actually get help; if the honest official got to know the news, he might have helped me personally." Ding Datian replied.

"Alas! What a pity! But fortunately there are still honest officials who can eradicate the evil people!" King Jingyin sighed.

Ding Datian smiled bitterly with tears in his eyes and said, "Sadly, that honest official was killed by my own hands."

"What? You killed him?" King Jingyin asked in surprise.

"Haha!" Ding Datian laughed, but tears flowed at the same time. His laugh was full of bitterness, and his heart seemed to be pierced by a sharp sword: "It was God's will that the first person I killed was him! At that time, the person who gave me the task in the assassin organization lied to me that the person I was to kill was a bad official in order to make me determined to kill boldly. I was eager to save my brother and took action without investigation. The real employer behind me, the assassin, was the rich and unkind man who indirectly controlled the Ji Ren Society. In order to avenge the honest official, he hired an assassin to kill him. That employer was the one who harmed me! If he had not indirectly controlled the Ji Ren Society, how could the people who interacted with me lose trust in the Ji Ren Society, and how could they not tell me that I could go to the Ji Ren Society for help? But I became a killer working for the person who harmed me, and killed a person who could have helped me. I killed an honest official just like that!"

"Did you get the money?" King Jingyin continued to ask.

"I got the money, all of it. I was very happy when I got the money, because at that time I was still in the dark. I thought I had killed a corrupt official. I thought that not only did I do a good deed to the people, but I also got so much money to save my brother." Ding Datian said self-deprecatingly.

"Then you invited a doctor to treat Ding Dadi?" King Jingyin asked.

"Yes, we invited a doctor, who gave Dadi medicine made from those precious herbs, and Dadi was completely out of danger at that time. However, I got this news - Dadi's disease is incurable. There are ways to control the disease when it occurs, and there are ways to reduce the number of attacks, but there is no way to cure it. When he is not ill, his body is no worse than that of a normal person, and he even looks healthier than many normal people. But once he has an attack, he may be in danger. The doctor couldn't tell when he would have an attack, so he just asked me to prepare the medicine and use it to control it once he had an attack. The medicine is made from those precious herbs, and it costs a lot of money each time it is used." Ding Datian replied.
