The next day, Tao Yuan once again walked into the room where King Shan Jia was locked up. King Shan Jia was thrown in the corner with his hands and feet tied up.

Hearing a sound, King Shan Jia opened his eyes with some difficulty. When he saw Tao Yuan, his heart sank, because he didn't know what he had said yesterday.

Tao Yuan looked at this strong man pitifully curled up in the corner. It's really hard to imagine that he is the famous bandit leader, the King of Shan Jia.

"I'm here to inform you that at this time, your mother, your wife and son, and those bandits in the city, should have all been arrested."

"It's my choice to be a bandit! It has nothing to do with them, they are innocent. Now the law no longer connects family, and you can't punish innocent people!" King Shan Jia said excitedly.

"You still know the law?" Tao Yuan wanted to laugh out loud. "You, a bandit leader, are telling me about the law? This is really the funniest joke I have ever heard. Sure enough, this is human nature. A bandit who regards disregards human life will even preach the law when their relatives need protection."

The smile on Tao Yuan's face suddenly disappeared, and he looked at Shan Jia with a cold expression, "Your relatives are humans, and those who were brutally murdered by you are not humans? Besides, are they innocent? You made it clear yesterday. Your mother was a bandit when she was young. I'm afraid that she killed no less people than you, right? Why can she have peace of mind in her old age? Your son can kill at the age of twelve or thirteen. Weren't you quite proud? Now he's innocent?"

King Shan Jia closed his eyes, feeling unprecedented despair in his heart. He was born a bandit, and he started killing at a few years old, knowing that he would not have a good ending. But he just wanted to let his wife and son lead a normal life, so he was willing to endure anything. Having known this long ago, he shouldn't have let his wife and son participate.

Tao Yuan came closer and looked down at him, "Those who were killed by you asked me to avenge them. You bandits can't have a better life. Your mother, your wife, and your son, none of them will have a good end. I have prepared some good things for them. At that time, people will serve them secretly, so that they can't survive and die. This way you can understand the pain you gave to others."

"You... I really didn't know you were so vicious!" King Shan Jia didn't even have the strength to grit his teeth. For the first time in his life, he felt the pain of powerlessness and being slaughtered. He was not afraid of death, even if the sword falls, he will not blink. He would rather die a thousand times or even ten thousand times for his wife and son, just so they can have a good life.

"My favorite method is using violence to control violence and evil to control evil. If I don't let you feel it personally, how could you understand the pain of others?"

Tao Yuan turned and strode out. He told the soldiers guarding outside, "Hang him on the tree under the mountain and see how many bandits will come. If they come one by one you won't have to work so hard looking for them in the mountains."

"Yes!" The soldiers walked into the house and dragged King Shan Jia out.

Tao Yuan left the temple to look for He Liyuan, just as Ning Haobo walked in. Tao Yuan, as usual, ignored his existence and prepared to walk away.

"Ruqing." Ning Haobo called out suddenly.

Tao Yuan looked at him in surprise.  What's wrong with his medicine to make Ning Haobo call him? 

"I..." Ning Haobo didn't know what he wanted to say. He just called his name on an impulse. He didn't know if it was because of that dream, but in the past two days he couldn't help thinking about Ruqing. He still loved Wen Han, and now there were two people in his heart at the same time. This made him feel very pained and confused.
