Chapter 85: Naive Xu Tian
"stop!"
"What are you doing!"
"We can give you the money, just stop killing innocent people!"
Just then, Xu Tian rushed out.
"You want money, right? I can give it to you as long as you don't kill innocent people."
“Yo!”
Brother Hei turned his head and looked over, mocking him, "Where did this great man come from? Do you think you can buy everyone's life with this little money?"
"Then what do you want to do!" Xu Tian said angrily, "You can rob money, but why kill people?"
"idiot!"
The yamen runner next to him couldn't help but curse, although his voice was very low, it was still heard by everyone.
The black man laughed even louder. "See? Your companions are laughing at you, and you still want to... Phew... Interesting, very interesting."
As Brother Hei spoke, he couldn't help laughing. It was obvious that he hadn't seen such selfless behavior for a long time.
"Tsk tsk tsk, do you want to be a hero too?"
"How about this, if you kneel down and beg me, I'll let them go!"
"you……"
As Brother Hei was speaking, he suddenly thought of a good idea. He ordered his men to keep an eye on the Chen family's carriage, and then he walked towards Xu Tian.
When he came to a place not far from Xu Tian, he looked at the yamen runners and prisoners again and said, "I can spare you, but you have to make him kowtow to me, how about that?"
“So cruel!”
"This is murderous and heartbreaking!"
Many people's pupils shrank when they saw this scene.
Upon hearing this, the other prisoners and yamen runners looked at each other in confusion, then gritted their teeth and decided that they would rather let their friend die than let themselves die.
"Xu Tian, did you hear me? As long as you kneel down, we can survive!"
"Exactly. Didn't you just tell them not to kill us? Now they've given us a chance!"
"That's right. You have nothing to lose by kneeling down and kowtow to them."
Everyone was talking at once, blaming Xu Tian, as if he would be unforgivable if he didn't kneel down and kowtow.
Xu Tian's face turned very ugly when he saw this scene. He had never expected that this group of people would actually...
"Hahaha!"
Heige and others were watching from the side and burst into laughter.
"Look, they're biting each other, how fun!"
Brother Hei even looked at Xu Tian and added fuel to the fire, "What do you think? Have you thought it through? As long as you kneel down, you can exchange the lives of so many people. Isn't it a good deal!"
Xu Tian's face was full of confusion. A man's knees are made of gold. He thought that apart from kneeling to the heaven, the earth, his parents and His Majesty, he would never kneel to anyone else.
Otherwise, he would have entered the court long ago with his knees bent. How could he still be an exiled yamen runner?
However, if he knelt down, he could save these people's lives.
Back then, he liked a girl who was very kind and they fell in love with each other. Just when Xu Tian was planning to propose marriage, the girl's father committed a crime and his entire family was exiled.
The girl was obviously innocent, but she was still exiled.
Moreover, on the way to exile, the team was attacked by wild beasts, and the girl died in the mouth of the beast while trying to save a strange child.
When he heard the bad news, he completely collapsed.
As a result, he became depressed.
Later, he received a letter written to him by the girl before she was exiled, because the girl knew that after her exile, she and Xu Tian would be people from two different worlds.
The girl wished Xu Tian well, hoping that he could find his own happiness and live happily all his life.
Xu Tian was very upset. He regretted not being with the girl and not protecting her when she needed him most.
Therefore, he took the initiative to become a yamen runner in the exile team. He didn't want anyone to lose their important people like he did.
That's why he became a yamen runner in the exile team to protect those innocent people, because behind these innocent people, there are many people who care about them.
Although this idea was naive and simple, Xu Tian still did it and tried his best to protect these people.
But now we have encountered a problem.
When he had to sacrifice his dignity to protect these prisoners, he hesitated...
He is not a saint, he is just an ordinary person, so...
He was a little overwhelmed.
"Xu Tian..."
At this moment, the bandits walked towards the prisoners with weapons in hand, and the prisoners suddenly panicked.
"Xu Tian, you bastard..."
"Will you die if you kneel? If we die, will you still have a clear conscience? We won't let you go even if we become ghosts."
"Do you still have any humanity? My child is only seven years old, and he's going to die because of you..."
Everyone started to accuse Xu Tiancai, as if he was a bandit and the culprit of everything.
"Shut up!"
At this moment, a man stood up. He looked around and glared at everyone, "You are in this situation because of your greed. If you hadn't been corrupt, would your family be implicated?"
"Besides, what rights do you have to ask others to sacrifice their dignity? Who do you think you are?"
"If you were him, and he asked you to kneel down and change your online name to save your life, would you be willing to do it?"
"you……"
Hearing the man's accusation, everyone was speechless. They stared at the man, but were a little confused. Why did the man feel so familiar, but looking at the man's face, he was not someone they knew.
"Okay, then you all go downstairs to reunite with Captain Sun!" Brother Hei glanced at the man, snorted coldly, and asked his servants to take action.
"etc!"
Xu Tian couldn't help but shout. He looked up at Brother Hei and said seriously, "As long as I do it, you will really let them go!"
"Why?"
The man frowned, as if he couldn't bear to see Xu Tian do this. "Are they worth it?"
"Didn't you hear what they said? They are so selfish. Even if you sacrifice your own dignity, will they really thank you when they survive?"
Xu Tian looked at the man and felt a sense of familiarity, but when he looked at the man's face, he found that he didn't know him either. However, the fact that he could stand up made Xu Tian feel much better.
"I know." He nodded, his face serious. "But, as a yamen runner, I have the responsibility to protect these people. Not only because it is my duty, but also because..."
Xu Tian looked around, at the shivering women, the hunched old men, and the frightened children huddled in their mothers' arms.
"There are many innocent people here. They didn't do anything wrong. They were implicated by their families and have already lost their future. I'm not like them who have lost the last thing!"
Xu Tian's words immediately made the prisoners who accused him lower their heads in shame. Xu Tian was right, they were wrong, but their families were innocent, but they were implicated by him.
"If I can save these people's lives by sacrificing my dignity, it's worth it." Xu Tian said, looking at the man with a wry smile, "You can call me stupid or naive."
"Because I know the pain of loss, and I don't want these people to experience that pain again!"
