Chapter 39 Chapter 2 The Killer is Killed, and the Killed Kills

At this point, Lin Chong realized that all concessions, patience, and persecution were useless, and could not exchange for their kindness, and could not let them let him go. Even if they took everything away, they still wanted to take his life.Lin Chong finally woke up suddenly, his blood, his courage, and his murderous aura burst out all at once. A person who was so willing to compromise, so willing to admit defeat, was finally forced to become a bloody killer!His timidity, cowardice, and incompetence in the past were all gone. In the desperate situation of life, he changed suddenly and became a real hero!

He gently moved the stone away, opened the temple door with one hand, held a flower gun, and shouted: "Where are you going, the thief!" Yes, it's his turn to ask each other like this. When Lin Chong was cornered, so did the thieves. They set fire to the haystacks, and with Lin Chong in the middle, they said confidently, "Where are we going?" Unexpectedly, in a blink of an eye, it was their turn to think about "where to go". Where else could they go?This place where they wanted to harm people, by accident, became the end of their own life. They can't go anywhere.This is where their heads were conferred and where they were buried.

There is an idiom in China called "evil is full of fullness", which means that when you do evil to the full, that is the day when retribution will come. This gang of thieves, they came all the way to hunt down Lin Chong, even if they forced Lin Chong to the corner of the world, they must put him to death and hurry up. They don't know, if they don't give others a way to survive, they themselves will have no way to survive. They don't believe in the truth that "Sun Tzu's Art of War" says "don't chase the poor". In fact, it's not that Lu Yuhou doesn't believe in this truth.It was that he put himself in a life-and-death situation with Lin Chong from the very beginning. He had already opened his bow and had no arrows to turn back.

The reason why he is so hostile to Lin Chong is because: 1. He wants to do it.He wants to curry favor with Gao Yanei and Gao Taiwei, they can make him get promoted and get rich.Two, ask him to do it.Gao Yanei and Gao Taiwei asked him to do it.Three, do not be afraid.Gao Taiwei asked him to do it, but if he didn't do it, he would have to die, at least he would never get promoted and get rich.Fourth, do not be afraid.Since he has Gao Taiwei behind him, he is not afraid of Lin Chong. Therefore, he chose to do it without hesitation. However, even if there is Gao Taiwei, who has the right to favor for a while, behind him, is he sure to win?

You know, above people, there is heaven! People are doing things, and the sky is watching! Lu Yuhou knew that he was afraid of Taiwei Gao, and that with Taiwei Gao, he would not be afraid of Lin Chong, but wasn't he afraid of the sky? He is not afraid of the way of heaven will be repaid, he is not afraid of the sky spinning, he is not afraid of the sky being turned upside down, he is not afraid of the restoration of the sky net, and it is not leaking? ! A heavy snowfall, the merciful God quietly changed the direction of the situation and changed the fate of both parties. Those who kill will be killed, and those who are killed will kill.

As Lin Chong stopped drinking, the world spun, and the murderous knives of Lu Yuhou were now aimed at his chest. Lin Chong raised his hand, pointed at the three people who were stunned, and shot first, stabbing the messenger down. Lu Yuhou yelled for mercy, but he was so frightened that he couldn't move. Fu An was less than ten paces away when Lin Chong overtook him. He shot him in the back and knocked him down again. Turning around and coming back, Lu Yuhou could only take three or four steps. Lin Chong shouted: "Traitor! Where are you going?" He raised his chest and threw it on the snow. He yelled, "Poor thief! I have never had any enmity with you since I came here. How can you hurt me like this! It's exactly 'killing is forgiven, but it's unreasonable'!"

Kill those two without any fuss.To kill Lu Yuhou, you must say a few words. Why? Because, Lin Chong wanted to tell Lu Yuhou that the one who killed him was not Lin Chong, but the Dao of Heaven! It was not others who killed him, but himself! Therefore, Lu Yuhou was killed, it was heaven's murder, it was suicide. Lu Yuhou said: "Don't do small things, I dare not not come when sent by the Taiwei." Lu Yuhou's pleading for forgiveness is justified: "The Taiwei sent me, I dare not refuse to come." According to him, his behavior was not voluntary, but forced.Behavior that is forced can at least not be morally responsible.

Therefore, we can say that the real culprit is not Lu Qian, but Gao Lian. The reason why Gao Qiu can do whatever he wants is because he has the power to control and coerce others. Therefore, we can draw a conclusion: many superficial moral issues are actually issues of power, problems in the operation of power. Ordinarily, since Lu Yuhou was forced to come here, according to Lin Chong's character and consistent grievances, he would not kill indiscriminately, so he could be forgiven by Lin Chong. Lin Chong forgave Dong Chao and Xue Ba. When Lu Zhishen wanted to kill these two gentlemen, he stopped them twice. A gentleman wants to kill me, why don't the two of them obey him? If you kill both of them, you will be wronged."

So, will Lin Chong let go of Lu Yuhou like he forgave Dong Chao and Xue Ba? Lin Chong scolded: "Traitor, I have been friends with you since childhood, and today you are harming me, why don't you do your business! Just give me a knife." Tore off Lu Qian's upper body clothes, and put the sharp knife into the heart, and the seven orifices Bleeding out, holding his heart and liver in his hands. If we don't look at the problem from the perspective of personal character, it is very interesting to look at the ultimate dialogue between Lin Chong and Lu Yuhou. Lin Chong's accusation against Lu Yuhou was undoubtedly reasonable: there is no grievance or enmity between you and me, and it's unreasonable for you to harm me like this.

But, on the other hand, since you, Lin Chong, also admit that there is no grievance between you, then Lin Chong will not be able to testify against Lu Yuhou's motive for the murder.Intentional killing without a motive is obviously unthinkable and illogical.So, what is the problem? Why couldn't Lin Chong forgive Lu Yuhou for dissuading Lu Zhishen twice to save Dong Chao and Xue Ba? First, when Lu Yuhou wanted to harm Lin Chong, he not only passively accepted orders from Gao Taiwei, but also took the initiative to participate, actively offer advice, and seek appreciation, so as to get promoted and make a fortune.It is of course unforgivable to harm others in order to get promoted and get rich.

Second, Marquis Lu Yu harmed Lin Chong not once, but again and again, never giving up until Lin Chong was killed. Third, he and Lin Chong have known each other since childhood, and they are brothers. Lu Yuhou's behavior has jeopardized the basic way of dealing with people, which is especially hateful. Violation of any of these three rules is unforgivable.Therefore, for people like Lu Yuhou, Fu'an, and Shiba who are full of evil, not killing is not enough to anger the people, not killing is not enough to clarify morality, not killing is not enough to protect the law, so there is no way to forgive them, they can only die. In fact, compared to the indiscriminate killings of Wu Song and Li Kui, Lin Chong was very restrained.Not only did he not kill more, he actually killed less: there are at least three people who should have been killed but did not kill, that is: Gao Qiu, Gao Yanei and his son, and a manager of the Cangzhou Prison Camp. What should be killed, the forage field was burned.If you can't stay at home, you will stay in the prison camp.Now, the prison camp can't stay anymore.In a society, if a person is so forced that he can't even stay in prison, where will this person go?
