On her wedding night, she went into exile with her pharmacy arsenal

Chapter 1636: Good and Evil

Li Sugui never came back no matter what, and even after so many years, people still bring up this past event.

He laughed briefly, the flash of the knife in his hand reflected in his eyes, and murderous intent rose.

Just like that night when the city guard's mansion was massacred with blood.

"Since you are here for this matter, no matter whether you are from the underworld or the government, you are destined to become a dead man tonight."

"That beast named Zhu would never have thought that after so many years, someone would die because of him."

Zhou Qi's eyes were red as he glared at Huo Changhe and Yan Ruyu: "Do you know how many evil things that Zhu has done?"

"He withheld our military pay, leaving us with only 20% of it. He even sold our military rations for money and gave us old grains that even contained chaff!"

"We are guarding the border. No matter how tough the conditions are, we are not afraid. What we fear is that our own people will stab us in the back."

Zhou Ba took over the conversation: "That beast even confiscated our winter cotton-padded jackets, which were old and worn by our brothers for three years! Just because Brother Li argued with him for a few words, he was beaten with dozens of military sticks and almost died."

Yan Ruyu's brows were furrowed beneath the mask, but the expressions on their faces didn't seem fake. Could it be... that there was another hidden story behind what happened back then?

Huo Changhe was also surprised. His focus back then was on guarding against Dacheng and he didn't pay much attention to what was happening in Shanghai.

Could it be that they were wronged?

Thinking of this, he said, "Why don't you report it? If you report it to the Governor's Office, they may not ignore you."

Li Sugui sighed heavily, "How could we not know that the Prince of Zhennan is loyal and righteous? We also wanted to report it, but the thief was watching closely. He had done so many evil things that he had already taken precautions. The brothers I sent out were caught as soon as they left the city gate."

Li Sugui's throat rolled slightly, and the whites of his eyes turned red: "We were still waiting for him, hoping that he would bring good news. In the end, the bastard suddenly called us to go outside the city to see the scenery together."

"Can you imagine? The Jing'er he called was the corpse of our brother hanging on the city gate!"

"Exposing his corpse for seven days is what happened to my brother when he went to find the Prince of Zhennan!"

Li Sugui's chest rose and fell, his eyes filled with great pain: "I harmed him, I harmed him! If that's the case, what else can I say? I can only rely on myself."

"You're right. I faked my death. The dog thief Zhu asked us to go to the mountains. I knew the news in advance and set up this trap with my brothers in this team."

"In fact, there were no bandits at all. We killed the bandits' men who were secretly following us."

"Some were chopped up and blurred, and some were burned. In short, it's impossible to tell who is who. I know the dog thief's temper too well. He doesn't care about the lives of his men at all. He only cares about profit."

"As I expected, he thought it was some bandit and didn't investigate further. Instead, he took his men and ran away," Li Sugui said with a mocking tone, "so we managed to escape."

"Then you massacred the city defender's mansion?" Huo Changhe asked.

Li Sugui's face was filled with anger and hatred in his eyes: "I didn't want to kill him. I didn't want to kill him at first. I just wanted to escape with my brothers and find another way to live."

"He forced me!"

Li Sugui clenched the knife handle tightly: "It is no secret that he bullies men and women in Shanghai. If a woman is pretty, once he takes a fancy to her, she will be hard to escape his clutches."

At this point, Zhou Qi suddenly burst into tears.

"My wife, my sister... were all ruined by that guy."

Li Sugui bit his lips until they bled: "We hid in the mountains for a few days. Because this matter was confidential, we didn't tell our family. We thought we could find an opportunity to secretly go home and pick them up and leave one by one."

"Who would have thought that bastard would actually call all our relatives to his house, pick out the women, and kill the rest... the old ones, and use the young ones as laborers."

Huo Changhe's voice was also tinged with anger: "Are you serious?"

"Why should I lie now?" Li Sugui gritted his teeth. "My wife has some skills and was not abducted, but when I returned home, I found that she was injured and unconscious."

"Tell me, how can I tolerate this?" Li Sugui pointed his knife at Huo Changhe, "If it were you, would you tolerate your brothers and family members being killed?"

Huo Changhe was greatly shocked. Li Sugui's question was like a soul-searching question.

Can he bear it? He certainly can't.

Li Sugui laughed briefly: "You can't either, right? So why should I endure it? So, he must die!"

"I led my brothers into the mansion and killed everyone in the mansion."

"Yes, some of them were slaves and servants, and some were his family members. Some were innocent, perhaps... But, so what? At that time, there was nothing else in my mind except revenge."

"They are innocent. Are my brothers' families, wives, and sisters not innocent too? If they want to blame someone, let them blame the Zhu family. Blame them for being members of the Zhu family."

Li Sugui gritted his teeth, his eyes slightly watery. He turned his face away, took a few deep breaths, and tried hard to suppress his emotions.

Afterwards, the knife was pointed at Huo Changhe and Yan Ruyu again.

"Today, we brothers..."

"Today," Huo Changhe interrupted him, slowly and solemnly, "I want to ask you, if you could have met the Prince of Zhennan back then, would it have changed the outcome?"

Li Sugui pursed his lips in thought, while Zhou Qi and Zhou Ba said in unison: "Yes!"

"I can definitely do that!"

Li Sugui said in a deep voice: "But we don't have this opportunity, and there is no if. The mistake has been made. Even if we meet the King of Zhennan again, he will not listen to us and will not stand on our side."

Zhou Qi and Zhou Ba also lowered their heads.

Yan Ruyu suddenly spoke up: "Li Huaishan is dead. He committed those crimes. What does it have to do with you, Li Sugui?"

Li Sugui was stunned.

Zhou Qi and Zhou Ba looked up at each other, then looked at Yan Ruyu.

Yan Ruyu looked at Huo Changhe and said, "Your Majesty, is that right?"

Huo Changhe nodded slowly: "What the princess said makes sense."

Li Sugui's eyes widened in disbelief: "You..."

Huo Changhe took out the palace token and said, "I am the Prince of Zhennan, Huo Changhe."

Li Sugui stared at the token - there was no mistake, he had seen it before. When the old governor died and Governor Cao came to act as governor, he had taken such a token to Shanghai.

"you……"

Huo Changhe and Yan Ruyu took off their masks together, revealing their true faces.

Li Sugui opened his eyes wide again and held his breath.

It's them!

They are the guard couple following Uncle Sima!

He had always felt that the couple was not simple, but he didn't expect...

It turned out to be the Prince of Zhennan and his princess.

This... Li Sugui's mind went blank and he was unable to function for a moment.

Zhou Qi and Zhou Ba had never seen Huo Changhe before, but seeing that he had a decent aura and a token in his hand, and Li Sugui's appearance, it should not be fake.

The two struggled and knelt down: "Prince, Princess, it's all our fault. If you want to execute us, execute us. Please spare Brother Li's life!"
