Sometimes, the more people who seem to have a low status, the more they can open up their lives and compose their own civilian heroic epics.
We have talked about several chivalrous guests before, all of them are ordinary people, but none of them are like the one we are going to talk about today, who is a pig killer.
Is the killing of pigs and chivalrous temperament too far apart?
Don't worry, next, let me tell you the story of Nie Zheng in the Chronicle of the Assassins.
1
This butcher is not simple
Nie Zheng, the people in the deep well. Kill people to avoid revenge, and with their mother and sister, they will slaughter. For a long time, Puyang Yan Zhongzi was the Marquis of Han, and Han Xiangxia was tired. Yan Zhongzi was afraid of the curse, died, and begged someone to repay the tired. To Qi, Qi people or Yan Nie Zheng brave soldiers, avoid revenge hidden among the butchers. Yan Zhongzi went to the door please, counted the reverses, and then took the wine from chang in front of Nie Zheng's mother.
Nie Zheng was a man from this place during the Warring States period, which is now Jiyuan, Henan. Isn't that a bit familiar? That's right, the Guo Xie Guo Daxia we talked about before is the one who was pit by the fans, and he is also the person in this place. Isn't it a coincidence that there are two big heroes in one place. Those who want to listen to Guo Xie's story can turn over the first two issues, which is also very exciting.
Okay, let's move on. Nie Zheng was also quite reckless in his adolescence, killing a person, and in order to avoid revenge, he fled to the country of Qi with his mother and sister and became a butcher.
On the other hand, there was a scholar in South Korea named Yan Zhongzi, who served as an errand boy under the Marquis of Sorrows. This Yan Zhongzi is the other male protagonist we want to talk about today.
This Yan Zhongzi had an enemy family, called Han Xia tired, the daimyō Han puppet. Don't look at this man with a chivalrous character in his name, he is not a hero, but a Korean nobleman.
Yan Zhongzi, a small scholar, could fight against the powerful nobles? If you stay in South Korea, you can only be killed, what else can you do? Escape! He flees everywhere, looking for a professional killer while fleeing, who can help him kill Han Xia Tired.
Looking for it, eh, I found Qi Guo coming, and Nie Zheng was killing pigs here.
Yan Zhongzi did not know who to hear about Nie Zheng's name, the other party frantically blew "rainbow fart", said this Nie Zheng is amazing, Dr. Yan, you don't see that he is a pig killer, it is because he killed someone to escape here, this person is very brave, help you kill someone is not easy?
Yan Zhongzi listened, patted his thigh, and this was this person!
He personally visited Nie Zheng's family, and instead of looking for Nie Zheng first, he took gold and good wine to wish Nie Zheng's mother a happy birthday, and the two of them were talking about wine. This Yan Zhongzi was still quite clever, knowing that Nie Zheng was not necessarily willing, so he first made a good relationship with his mother and softened Nie Zheng's attitude from within.
Nie Zheng was also a little flattered, but he still explicitly rejected Yan Zhongzi: I just want to kill the pigs in peace and honor the old mother.
Yan Zhongzi had no choice, but still insisted on giving the gift to Nie Zheng. Nie Butcher couldn't sleep, someone treated me like this, but I couldn't repay him, what should I do?

The butcher came to repay the favor
After a long time, Nie Zheng's mother died. Having been buried, Nie Zheng said, "Oh! The government is the man of the city, and the drum knife is slaughtered; and Yan Zhongzi is the secretary of the princes, Xiangye, who is not far away, riding a car and handing over to his subjects. The subject treats him as shallow and rare, and has no great merit to be called, and Yan Zhongzi worships hundred gold as his own life, although I am not subject to it, but the person is well aware of the government. The husband and the sage are sympathetic and trust the poor, and the political independence is hey but it is too late! And the day before yesterday, the politicians took the old mother; the old mother now ends with the day, and the government will be used for the confidant. Nai Sui went west to Puyang and saw Yan Zhongzi: "The day before yesterday, those who did not allow Zhongzi were to be in vain; now unfortunately, the mother ends with heaven and year." Who is Nakako's desired avenger? Please do it! ”
A few years later, Nie Zheng's mother died. After Nie Zhengfu's mourning period expired, he still thought about Yan Zhongzi in his heart and sighed:
A scholar-doctor came all the way to the country of Qi to find a city butcher like me, and also gave my old mother a birthday wish, I was so cold to him, and I didn't help him. It's time to repay him!
This man said to go away, personally ran to South Korea to find Yan Zhongzi, and when they met, he couldn't wait to say:
Dr. Yan! I was afraid to take care of my old mother, so I repeatedly rejected you. Now that the old mother has gone, you say to me, who is your enemy? Whoever can't get over with you is going to go through with nie zheng, and this matter is wrapped up in me.
You see, as we said in the last issue, these people are never "you are noble so I want to be loyal to you", but "you are good to me, so I am also good to you", this is the chivalrous spirit.

assassination? One person is enough
Yan Zhongzi said: "The subject's hatred of Han Xiang is tired, the hero is tired and Han Jun's ji father is also tired, the clan is prosperous, the residence is very guarded, and the subject wants to make people stab him, and in the end he cannot do it." Imazushita is fortunate not to give up, please benefit from his riding bravery can be a foot auxiliary winger. Nie Zhengyue: "Han and Wei are not far apart, and now the face of murder, the relatives of the monarch, this situation can not be many people, many people can not be lifeless gains and losses, birth gains and losses are leaked, words leak is Han Juguo and Zhongzi is a vendetta, is not it bad!" So Xie Che rode his entourage, and Nie Zheng resigned and went alone.
Yan Zhongzi also spoke to Nie Zheng in 1510, and after saying that, he also told him:
Dude, you can be careful, this Han Xia Tired is the uncle of the monarch, the family is also big, his family is heavily guarded, and the assassins I sent before have failed. Now you are not disgusted, willing to avenge me, then my carriage and horse men you can dispatch at will.
He didn't know that Nie Zheng had a preliminary assassination plan in his heart after listening to it—the defense was tight, and it would only be easier to find out with his assistants, so it was better to go alone.
After Nie Zheng explained his plan, he calmly comforted Yan Zhongzi:
Dr. Yan, rest assured, I killed him, and no one will know that you directed it.
Yan Zhongzi was deeply shocked, he had never seen a city butcher in such a way that he could think of himself in this way.

Destroying the body is a tragic reward
The staff sword to Han, Han Xiangxia sat on the palace, holding a sword and guarding many waiters. Nie Zheng went straight in, the upper-level assassin was tired, and there was chaos left and right. Nie Zheng shouted, and dozens of people he killed died because they cut their eyes from the skin and slaughtered their intestines.
On this day, Han Xia tired could never understand that he was still sitting in the inner hall for a while, surrounded by guards with knives, how the beggar-like butcher temperament of the big man rushed into the inner hall and stepped on the steps, and the shadow of the sword flickered, and he himself was in the corpse house.
Nie Zheng was surrounded by a group of guards, wielding a knife to split dozens of people, looking at the guards who were pouring in like a tide, he knew that he could not go out, he stopped.
The guards around him also pointed their weapons at him in a hurry, staring wide-eyed at the big man in front of him resolutely slashing his face with his sword, poking his own eyes, and then ripping out his intestines, laughing twice, and falling down.
He destroyed his body in such a tragic way because he did not want anyone to recognize his identity, and did not want to expose Yan Zhongzi, who was kind to him. This butcher man has thus fulfilled his retribution.
This morning, the sunlight passed through the atmosphere, refracting a seven-color halo that ran straight through the blue sky, and people lamented that this was "white rainbow through the sun", and there must be something big happening.
