Chapter 305: Sacrifice for Justice

"Why?"

Chen Shiyi was very confused.

"Why doesn't he leave? If he doesn't consider himself, he should consider his wife and Ping'er, right?"

Qi Lan took a deep breath.

"I didn't have the time to ask him so many questions at that time, but from what I saw from my wife, it seemed that she supported him in doing so."

Chen Shiyi held the teacup in his hand and thought for a long time.

"Tonight, I'm going to the government jail to see Mr. Situ."

"How are you going to get there if you don't know Kung Fu?"

Late at night, Chen Shiyi, wearing a black cloak and a black hat covering half of her face, arrived at the gate of the government office and showed the token given to her by Yue Zhitong.

The government guard immediately saluted respectfully.

"If anyone leaks even a word, he will be killed without mercy."

After Chen Shiyi finished speaking, he walked into the prison.

In the dark and deep corridor, rows of lights on the mottled walls flickered, looking quite ghostly. A foul stench wafted continuously. Chen Shiyi walked to the end of the cell with an expressionless face.

Chen Shiyi was standing outside a cell when he heard a child's voice coming from inside.

"Father, Uncle Yuncang is here."

Then there was a sound of locks, and soon Situ Yu's face came into view.

He looked pale and haggard, with sunken eye sockets, and his hair, which was usually combed so neatly, was now scattered in strands. However, he was still elegant, proud, leisurely and indifferent.

"You're here?"

Chen Shiyi looked at him. He was wearing white clothes and his body was covered with sharp whip marks. In the dim light, they were so black that they were shocking.

"You don't want to go out?"

Situ Yu did not respond to Chen Shiyi, but just asked.

"Did you come here alone?"

When Chen Shiyi heard this, he was filled with doubts.

"Yes, what do you want to say?"

Situ Yu seemed to have a hint of regret and infinite sadness.

"Be careful Qi Lan."

Chen Shiyi was in disbelief.

"Qi Lan is yours."

Situ Yu nodded.

"Indeed, he is my man, and I trust him very much, but his original identity was the dead body of Master Zhang."

Chen Shiyi pondered for a moment.

"So, those anti-Cult books and cult items found in Fengmingshan Academy were all written by Qi Lan?"

"yes."

"He is really a patient man. He has been by your side for so many years without showing any flaws."

Situ Yu quickly replied.

"So, if you want to take me out, it will bring disaster upon yourself and you will be doomed. This time, the person they want to deal with is you."

Chen Shiyi sighed.

"Then I can't just watch you die like this."

Situ Yu chuckled.

"On the night after I was arrested, His Majesty sent someone to ask me what I thought. Would I live a life of shameless humiliation or die a life of sacrifice? The laws of Daye had put me to death, but human kindness could save me from prison. I didn't even think about it and directly replied to His Majesty with the word death."

The gloomy aura in the prison made Chen Shiyi feel cold.

"Die? Just to sacrifice your life for justice? Mr. Situ, there is a long time to come. Only when you are alive can you plan for the future. If you lose your life, you will lose everything."

Situ Yu looked at Chen Shiyi deeply.

"It's a fate that everyone must die. If I had lived a good life, that would have been fine. If I had lived a life of ease, it wouldn't have been in vain. But in this life, I have been tortured by illness, hunted endlessly, faced with the spit and abuse of the world, and endured the eager but frustrated looks of students from all walks of life. It is destined that my life is more miserable than death."

"But, using my death as a chess piece, they can set off a confrontation between the poor and the wealthy. In the future, they will be able to say a few words in the court and win a glimmer of hope and light for the people living at the bottom of society."

"Yun Cang, you and I have both struggled from the bottom to get to where we are today. You have to understand that in this world, if you want to blaze a new trail, someone has to take the first step. The thorns, sharp stones, and even cliffs on the road are all things that the pioneer who takes the first step must experience."

"Yun Cang, you don't have to blame yourself. Don't think that you are the one who dragged me into this hell. My legs are on my body. It's not my own will. No one can stop me."

Chen Shiyi choked up after hearing the voice.

"If you don't do it for yourself, then what about Madam? What about Madam? And Ping'er, who is only six years old..."

Mrs. Situ's voice rang out.

"Of course I will follow my husband. On the road to the underworld, we will be together as a family, which is also a happy thing. Besides, I have been in pain for so many years, and now it is time to be relieved."

Chen Shiyi opened his mouth.

"As for Ping'er, his illness has just improved a little. Please let me take him away and I will raise him to adulthood."

"Yun Cang, what do you think his life will be like in the future? Will he live in pain because of hatred, or will he face the death of both his parents and spend his whole life absorbing the taste of family love?"

A life journey, a pagoda, a blue cloud, a delusion...

Use life as sacrifice, use blood to pave the way, use thoughts as curses, use faith as hope…

Chen Shiyi raised his head, the firelight on the wall was dim in his eyes, jumping and burning like that, and fell into the unbearable prison with the tear.

"Sir, Dayi!"

She suddenly lifted up her black robe with her right hand, knelt down on her knees, kowtowed three times to Situ Yu, stood up, and walked out of the cell with her legs spread.

As soon as she walked out of the cell, she was picked up by a pair of hands and lifted onto the shoulders. She flew into the air, and the tiles on the roof made a cracking sound.

Behind them, a rain of arrows attacked them like a blanket of fire.

Fu Da was extremely fast. He held the sword in hand and lightly kicked the roof. In a few seconds, he disappeared into the darkness.

In front, Yue Zhi led a group of people, and as he swung his hands hard, they started fighting with the pursuers.

When they reached a safe place, Fu Da put Chen Shiyi down.

Chen Shiyi asked hurriedly.

"Where's Qi Lan?"

Fu Da asked.

"What happened to him?"

"Mr. Situ's accident was caused by him."

Fu Da said coldly.

"Wait till I kill that bastard."

"Be careful not to get hurt."

"If you go in, what will Situ say?"

Chen Shiyi was silent for a moment.

"Let's get rid of all the people who came here. He doesn't want to live anymore."

Fuda didn't seem to be too surprised.

"Scholars are proud. How could someone like Situ be willing to live in vain? His belief is above life, and it is all learned from reading."

Chen Shiyi was very sad.

"Before, I just wanted to eat enough to stay alive, but now, after eating enough, I can die for various reasons."

Fu laughed loudly.

"Some people become a burden to others when they are alive. Sometimes, when they die, they let others go..."

Chen Shiyi raised his head suddenly.

“Who becomes a burden to others?”

"Someone who always brings trouble to others."

After hearing this, Chen Shiyi thought about it carefully.

Fu Da waited for Yue Zhi to come over, and then he disappeared into the darkness in an instant.
