Chapter 193 Want to kill!

"Right? Minister Li?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Jingjiang Jun immediately frowned and used all his strength to develop his perception.

but……

Nothing was sensed.

Shushu immediately began to look around, but didn't see it either.

But right between Jingjiang Jun’s eyebrows, the shadow of Li Zuofang walked out calmly.

Jingjiang Jun looked angry, but didn't say anything.

At first it was only the size of a little finger.

But soon he walked to the ground, and he became normal again. However, if you concentrate a little, you can see that this is completely 'God's will' and not a physical body.

"Sure enough, even luck is on your side." Li Zuofang walked up to Gao Jian and exclaimed.

What to say?
He is truly a demon star.

With good luck protecting him, good things will happen to him no matter what he does. Therefore, it is easy for him to accomplish such a desperate thing. There happens to be a volcano next to the Xi Beast. Isn't this an advantage of good luck?
"Minister Li, I'm pawning this knife pretty well, right? But you, the chief of the Tianshi Division in Yangjing, the capital of the gods, you can bribe him? This is really..." Gao Jian sighed as he looked at Li Zuofang in front of him.

Yes.

Is it true that the Astronomical Bureau can’t find any trace of Gao Jian?

That’s hard to say.

But in the end, the Heavenly Supervisor ruled that he was not responsible, which was not something Gao Jian could control.

Therefore, the final crucial blow was actually delivered by Minister Li.

"Your knife is really well made." said the shadow of Li Zuofang.

"Do you have any other knives? Why can't I see any?" Gao Jian asked.

"Because they are all dead, it is normal that they can't see. I have released a lot of Xuanhua Tongmen Dao Songs, but for now... you are the only one alive." Li Zuofang stood next to Gao Jian's stone bed: "But you seem to have always known that I live between your forehead. Theoretically, I am not in your soul, nor in your body. I am just like a speck of dust stuck there. How did you sense me? You have repeatedly hinted that you know of my existence. Are you so sure?"

"What do you mean by certain or not? I don't know. It doesn't cost money to cheat you. If you see it, I have cheated you. If you can't see it, then no one will know that I am cheating you. It would be a waste if I don't do it. Why not do it?" Gao Jian answered casually.

Jingjiang Jun let out an uncontrollable sneer.

The chinchilla bear was even more unbridled and just burst into laughter.

Li Zuofang, on the other hand, did not take it as an offense, but instead started laughing along.

The dragon, the rat and everyone else laughed for a while, but Gao Jian was the only one who couldn't laugh.

There's no way, he's in pain, and if he laughs like that the wound will burst.

So, Li Zuofang nodded and said, "Let's not dwell on these things. As for the matter in Cangzhou, you have created a great opportunity. As for the remaining oppression against the Zuo family, I will continue to be responsible. Shushan has reached a cooperation with me, and Jingjiang Jun also owes me a favor. Gao Jian, you... should have the same idea as me."

"What's the same?" Gao Jian asked.

Li Zuofang sighed and said, "For a person's pursuit, money is not enough, and fame is not enough. It can even be said that it is just like the complex spices of those top dishes at the state banquet. You can't tell what is in them, but you just know that you have to eat them. After taking a bite, you want to eat a second bite, and you want to eat more, and you want to eat more. No matter how much you eat, it is not enough, and you have to finish it."

"You make such an analogy to me, but I've never been to a state banquet." Gao Jian curled his lips.

He could understand what Li Zuofang was saying, but this state banquet...sounded very high-end.

"It's okay, you will be able to eat it soon. After the New Year, the students of the Imperial Academy will come to Beijing. In the Divine Capital, the emperor will personally host a banquet to welcome you and celebrate the admission of the new generation of young talents to the Divine Dynasty. You can eat whatever you want then." Li Zuofang still had that gentle smile and was still so polite.

"However, there is still one thing that we are different from each other," Gao Jian said.

"What's not similar?" Li Zuofang asked.

"I will say directly what I want, but you are different, Minister Li. You won't say it." Gao Jian replied, "On the one hand, you cover yourself with a colored glass cover to block others from prying into your heart, and on the other hand, you deliberately make the cover out of colored glass, as if you expect someone to see through the colored glass cover and see your true heart."

"It's really awkward and not straightforward."

Li Zuofang was stunned by Gao Jian’s comments.

Then, his expression showed a little loneliness.

But he still forced a smile and said, "There's nothing I can do. Revealing my heart doesn't matter to you, but for me, it's just like someone stabbing me in the heart with a knife. It's okay once or twice, but if it happens a few more times, I'll die."

"That's true." Gao Jian nodded to show his understanding.

This is true.

"However, I would like to show my true feelings to you. Can you two please step aside?" Li Zuofang turned his head and looked at Shu Jian and Shun Jingjiang beside him.

The dragon and the rat naturally would not refuse. They walked outside the cave and politely sealed the cave itself.

Inside the grotto, there were only Li Zuofang and Gao Jian.

Li Zuofang stood beside Gao Jian and said in a low voice, "The affairs of the Divine Dynasty are a mess."

"The 'Divine Dynasty' is not one person, it is a collection of many people. The emperor, ministers, officials, noble families from all over the country, immortal sects, even monster forces, various civilians, managers, these people together make up the 'Divine Dynasty'."

"So, with so many people, when something happens, everyone has an excuse to escape legal punishment, but in fact no one is morally innocent, not even the victims."

"Think about it, the Cangzhou you see, including the people, are they all a bunch of scum? When the blood sacrifice was promoted, even the farmers who were the sacrifices themselves were somewhat excited. However, how many of these people directly participated in the blood sacrifice? How many of them were accomplices who watched and helped push it forward? The victims are also the perpetrators, and the perpetrators are also the victims."

"I can't tell the difference, I can't tell the difference," Li Zuofang said with a sigh.

In this world, there is no white or black, only deep gray. However, some grays look like white, and some grays look like black.

It may be best if everyone compromises. In reality, there is no situation where you can always be right, or even if you are right, you will lose more in other aspects.

That is why politics was born, because politics is the art of compromise.

As for justice, conscience, obedience, gratitude and so on - what exactly they express is something that is always elusive.

But in response to Li Zuofang's sigh, Gao Jian said, "It's clear."

"How to tell? I've seen the Divine Dynasty from top to bottom, but I've never seen it clearly." "Li Shangshu, you can't tell the difference because you've seen too many things and are dazzled. I'm not as broad-minded as you, so I don't think it's that complicated." Gao Jian shook his head and said, "Whoever did it first is the bad one, and as for the ones who did it later, it doesn't matter."

"The things that come later don't matter? Then you really have... a very narrow vision." Li Zuofang shook his head.

If that's the case, then no one in the world is guilty and everyone can blame others. According to this line of thinking, Gao Jian shouldn't kill anyone.

"No, Minister Li, you misunderstood. This is not what I meant. Let me give you an example." Gao Jian stretched out a finger.

Then his wound hurt and he had to pull it back.

"Just say it directly and stop making such noises." Li Zuofang said.

"Okay." Gao Jian nodded helplessly, but he quickly sorted out his thoughts.

"For example, the Zuo family."

"The Zuo family's crimes are not limited to blood sacrifice. In fact, the Zuo family has forced many good people, or at least normal people, to become bad people. These people who have been forced are truly pitiful."

"In my opinion, an eye for an eye is unfair. The bad guy committed violence, and the victim fought back. In the process, the victim was forced to become the person he once hated the most... He was obviously a good person, but was forced to become a bad person."

"That's not fair."

"Minister Li, is the gray you see this kind of gray? I don't think it's gray at all. Someone forced them to be like this, not that they are naturally gray."

Li Zuo had no expression on his face and did not comment. He just asked, "What can you do? According to what you said, the Zuo family also has its own difficulties. The Zuo family also feels that they are forced. Then who is not forced? Who doesn't have difficulties? Who can't say a few words of hardship? Everyone has their own difficulties, so everyone is right? Or do you want to say, 'It's the world that is wrong'? If you say that, I will look down on you."

It's the world that's wrong.

That's the right thing to say.

But it's also nonsense.

There's no point in saying it, it's just a waste of time.

If Gao Jian had talked for so long just to say this, Li Zuofang would only feel...really disappointed.

In that case, Gao Jian would really only be the knife. In fact, after seeing Gao Jian's performance, he wanted him to be the one holding the knife.

The knife is at the mercy of others, so only people with stupid brains would become knives.

Gao Jian has a good brain, but if he is only good at "tactics", then he is actually just a smart knife. A real knife wielder needs to know clearly how to swing the knife, where to cut, how many points to cut, and how many times to cut.

But at this time, Gao Jian gave his answer: "I don't want to comment on the right and wrong of the world. I just said that you think too complicated. If you kill the Zuo family, there will be no blood sacrifice. It's that simple."

"There is more than one Zuo family in this world. Blood sacrifice may not exist in other places, but there are other things in other places. There are always people you don't like. Are you going to kill them all?"

"They will all be killed."

"You want to kill even this world?"

"Kill him too!"

"Can you kill me?"

"I have already killed the Zuo family. I don't know whether the others can be killed or not. But you asked me if I dare to kill them. I can only say that I dare to kill them. Whether they live or die is their own business." Gao Jian said casually.

Li Zuofang. "Haha, you can't be the one holding the knife. You are too murderous. If I give you the knife, many people will die."

"It doesn't matter. I'm not very ambitious." Gao Jian didn't care much.

To be honest, he did not regard Li Zuofang as his backer, but the other party was just temporarily in line with his goals.

But this time...

Li Zuofang suddenly changed the subject: "But I want to give you the knife and let you try to hold it."

"Ah?" Gao Jian was stunned.

"Because, there are many people I want to kill, but... I am not murderous enough. I will hesitate and think about the 'big picture'. I can't do it."

"You have a strong murderous nature and a good brain. You probably won't do something like killing for the sake of killing, so I want you to try." Li Zuofang said, stretching out his hand: "You are the 4,632nd person I found. I have passed out 4,600 copies of the Dao rhyme of the Xuanhua Tongmen Dao Song, but only you have cultivated to the fourth realm and have done these things, so I think I can trust you this time. Even if I lose, it's my own fault."

The thin old man's eyes lit up at this moment, and he continued, "Among the civil and military officials in the court, there are often petty traitors."

"If petty thieves are not eradicated, they will eventually become big thieves. Today, there are too many lawless people in the Divine Dynasty. Farmers cannot grow crops, merchants cannot make great progress, scholars cannot be knowledgeable, and workers cannot master their skills. They all rely on the influence of their ancestors, natural talents and treasures, but they have no strong and courageous will, and no ability to eliminate corruption and pests. The state of the Divine Dynasty in recent years is all caused by these people."

"I'm not afraid of them being treacherous and vicious. I'm afraid that they are treacherous and vicious, and at the same time, they are trash. And I wonder if you can do the job of getting rid of trash?"

Gao Jian stared at Li Zuofang for a while, then said, "Wow... Minister Li, do you want to rebel?"

Yes.

Eliminating the useless and then supporting the "capable" people, what is this if not treason? Joining forces with the party to attack the dissidents and excluding those who are different from them, this is what a great traitor does.

Li Zuofang's eyes were cold: "I don't care what this is. I only know that the Divine Dynasty has to do its best to maintain the Temple of Heaven Festival, and the reason for all this is because there are too many wastes."

He closed his eyes and said a little tiredly: "If there is a mistake in the Tiantan Grand Sacrifice, the noble families will lose some wealth at most, but I can't count how many ordinary people will die. The Divine Dynasty can no longer afford to support so many greedy trash."

"I only hope that those who sit on the throne and receive salaries and taxes from the people can at least do something. Even if they are greedy, they should do their work first."

After he said this, it was Gao Jian who was stunned.

Li Zuofang, did he really reveal all his worries?

No, this shouldn't be his complete idea, it's just a branch of his idea.

But these should be true.

So Gao Jian shook his head and said, "I can only say that I am not your companion. I just happened to do what you wanted to do. Don't treat me as a knife or a person holding a knife. I just... can't stand it."

"That's enough." Li Zuofang restrained his tired expression and showed a formal smile.

He went on to say, "After being washed by the Yin Qi of the Yin Earth and the Yin Qi of the Yellow Spring, your Dazhui acupoint is about to open, right? This True Yang Seven-Turn Huandan should be of great use to you."

“Seven-turn elixir?!” Gao Jian exclaimed.

Hey!
Is this thing enough to buy Gao Jian's life?!
