The provincial governor reached out and straightened his official hat that was slightly crooked because of his anger. His eyes were cold as he announced solemnly, "Since ancient times, the State of Xia has ruled the world with filial piety. The word filial piety is a matter of course. 'The Classic of Filial Piety' says, 'A gentleman's filial piety can be transferred to the ruler'. An unfilial person is bound to be disloyal. As a son, you don't want to kneel and feed your mother back. Instead, you have destroyed your conscience and falsely accused your own father. As a Confucian scholar, you have been studying the classics for a long time. Instead, you have committed such a despicable act. You are unfilial and disloyal. Zhao Yun, do you know your crimes now?! "
Zhao Yun never expected that her sincerity would be in exchange for a crime. She couldn't help but be angry and anxious, "Sir, my father's crimes are clearly written on the complaint paper! If you still have doubts, you can summon my father over and we can confront him face to face. "
"What a good face-to-face confrontation, what a good unrepentant! Don't say that your father, Zhao Lianghui, is a well-known good person in the country. His heart is pure and he is praised by everyone. He will definitely not commit the crime of murder. Even if he really violated the law, he will not allow you to violate human relations. Confucius said, 'The father hides for the son, and the son hides for the father.' Everyone has to abide by the teachings of the saint. "
Zhao Yun raised her head arrogantly and argued, "Although our country is known for its filial piety, it has always been a beautiful story to put righteousness before family. Even Confucius did not have the meaning of 'the son hides for the father'. For example, 'Zuo Zhuan' recorded that the saint said, 'Governing a country and administering punishment is not hidden from family. The evil of three uncles is not reduced. It can be said that righteousness is also straightforward. Killing family is glorious and righteous. 'May I ask, Sir, why should I be ashamed of the clothes of a Confucian scholar when I follow the orders of the saint? If you don't ask for the reason, don't judge right and wrong, don't distinguish between right and wrong, and don't confront me face to face, you will definitely accuse me of falsely accusing you. I'm afraid that it will be difficult for everyone to believe me! "
"Hey, Zhao Yun! Today, I announced your crimes in front of all the people in the city. Before righteousness, under the great crime, I thought that you would be able to change your mind and repent. Unexpectedly, you are still arrogant and roar in the court. The punishment for three crimes is already an unforgivable crime! Come on, hit Zhao Yun 50 times with the paddle first! "
The greedy bailiffs who were watching from the sidelines could no longer hold themselves back. They raised their cudgel high and revealed sinister smiles on their faces. They were about to execute the poison punishment.
Looking at the stick that was raised high and about to fall, Zhao Yun did not have the slightest bit of fear. He could not help but feel a chill in his heart. "Could it be that my persistence was really wrong?"
At the critical moment when the stick was about to hit Zhao Yun, someone suddenly shouted, "Spare her!" A person stepped out from the crowd outside the court and rushed into the court. It was Zhao Lianghui!
When Zhao Yun heard her father's voice, she couldn't help but be shocked. She thought to herself, "Why is he here?"
Zhao Lianghui bowed to the Provincial Governor, "Provincial Governor, your humble servant is Zhao Lianghui. Although the unfilial son, Zhao Yun, has provoked the Hall's anger and violated the filial piety code, but on account of his young and ignorant age, I ask Daren to forgive him. Your humble servant only has this little bit of flesh and blood. If he is really beaten to death in court, your humble servant will be alone and have no one to rely on. Wouldn't that also violate the teachings of the saints? "
The Provincial Governor nodded and said, "You are the defendant. Since you have no intention of pursuing the matter, you can naturally make an exception and forgive Zhao Yun. However, this child is arrogant and obstinate. If you don't punish him, I'm afraid it will be difficult to convince the public. "
Zhao Lianghui said anxiously, "He's just a child. He only knows how to be impulsive and doesn't understand anything. That's why he spoke so rudely. I will immediately ask him to apologize to Daren and everyone. "
As he spoke, Zhao Lianghui bent down and tears overflowed from his eyes. He was distressed and reproachful, "Yun 'er, I actually already knew that you secretly left home. I followed you all the way here, but I didn't expect that you would come to the authorities to sue me. Sigh, there are too many misunderstandings between us father and son! Yun 'er, no matter how much you hate me, you should admit your mistake and admit your mistake first. Only in this way can you avoid this life-taking punishment! "
Zhao Yun was sad again, and tears welled up in her eyes, "Father, how can Yun 'er not know and feel your love for Yun' er? But what did I do wrong! How can I admit my mistake!? Father, why don't you admit your crime of murder? You and I can go to hell together. "
The Provincial Governor frowned and said angrily, "What an unfilial son. In order to get away with your crime, you actually bewitched your biological father to take the blame for you! It seems that you have no choice but to be severely punished! Give him a good beating! "
"Daren, please spare my son!" Zhao Lianghui begged with an indescribable fear. He cried and begged Zhao Yun, "Yun 'er, just admit your crime. You will really be beaten to death! "
Zhao Yun didn't say a word. Only her mind was left with turbulent waves.
I didn't commit any crime, so why should I admit my crime? I didn't do anything wrong, so why do all of you force me to lower my head?
What I uphold is the indelible justice of the Heavenly Dao. It is my conscience that cannot be erased. I will never surrender so easily!
It was as if the pride of eighteen years had bloomed at the same time. It was as if the paranoia of several lifetimes had erupted at the same time. Zhao Yun suddenly shouted in her mind, "No!"
Zhao Yun, you can't give in!
Zhao Yun, those words of regret, those words of doubt, he could not even think about it.
Even if it was a simple admission of fault, he could be acquitted, and he could be as father and son as before. He could be carefree.
However, Zhao Yun would rather choose pain, step into the darkness, and jump into the abyss of eternal damnation.
"Because that's the belief that I've been holding on to for eighteen years."
He set his heart for heaven and earth, set his life for the people, inherited the ultimate techniques for the past saints, and established peace for all ages.
At the moment of greatest disappointment and despair, this seemingly extravagant belief was unprecedentedly firm.
"Even if the entire world is torrential, and everyone wants to reprimand me with the words of a saint, threaten me with torture, and persuade me with fatherly love, Zhao Yun will not change the obsession in my heart!"
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The heavy rod landed on Zhao Yun's body, but not only did Zhao Yun not cry out in pain, but there was also no trace of pain on his face.
There was only a mysterious smile on his face. His smile stunned the bailiff, made the governor feel inexplicably worried, and made Zhao Lianghui feel inexplicably confused.
He couldn't beg a loving father to admit his guilt, he couldn't beg the provincial governor to make a decision, and he couldn't beg the Heavenly Dao to pity him. Then, he could only use his sword to sweep away the dust and filth and return a bright world.
But where was the sword?
He, Zhao Yun, was just a scholar who didn't have the strength to truss a chicken.
"No, if there's a sword in my heart, then the sword is in my hand!"
Just as the fourth heavy rod was about to smash down, Zhao Yun suddenly shouted, "Sword, come!"
With the sound of a sword, the wind and thunder raged, the fish and dragons were miserable, and the universe shook people's hearts. In an instant, a majestic golden light dispelled the aura of injustice that had been suppressed for a thousand years and swept away the turbidity of the floating clouds that covered the sun. The dragon leaped up with a heroic spirit and instantly turned the group of bailiffs into nothingness.
Clang!
With a proud dragon roar, the golden light disappeared, and the three-foot-eight-inch, pitch-black, ordinary sword reappeared in the world.
The Mighty Battle Divine Sword!
Zhao Yun's heartstrings trembled, and he instantly understood everything. With a thought, he waved his hand, and the water of the Yellow River came from the sky. The Mighty Battle Divine Sword was filled with anger as it rushed into the clouds. Tens of thousands of sword Qi swept across the world.
With just one sword, it caused the universe to tremble. It caused the world to collapse. It caused Zhao Lianghui, the provincial governor, and the others to die together. It caused the boundless black fog to dissipate in an instant.
This was an unparalleled sword. He was the unparalleled Zhao Yun.
Zhao Yun held the sword in his hand and sneered, "Young Master Xie, you're too smart. You've underestimated Zhao Yun!"
