In the work "Under the Prosperous City", bad guys and villains are indeed common. So, which character behaves the worst, which character commits an unforgivable crime, and which character commits an inexcusable crime?
The wicked are ranked first: Lu Yuanbang.
Lu Yuanbang is the leader of the robbers known as the "Jiangnan Blood Law". At that time, he was not only able to kill people and rob money, but also was good at conquering people's hearts by force, which was admired and supported by his subordinates. He led his subordinates, including Lu Zhong, to burn, kill, rob, and commit many evil acts. In his view, robbery is murder. Lu Yuan's cruelty is manifested in the fact that he not only plunders other people's property, but also never leaves a victim alive, not even a complete corpse.
In the final transaction, they hijacked a retired high-ranking ** and successfully seized more than 200,000 taels of silver and 5 boxes**. That's a lot of money!In order to monopolize this huge wealth, Lu Yuan angrily ordered Lu Zhong to get his more than twenty of his subordinates drunk, and then wipe them all out.
Lu Zhong was left behind for two reasons: first, he was mute and would not reveal his secrets;Secondly, he also needs someone to help him with his work.
After having this huge wealth, Lu Yuan decided to completely withdraw from the rivers and lakes, and he came to the resource-rich area of Beetle County, purchased land and residences, and since then has entered the life of a rich and noble person.
Despite this, the crew continued to commit the atrocities of the afar-distance because they could not land. Through an incident described by Lu Zhi in the play, that is, the forced purchase and sale of Cao's paddy fields, the audience quickly understands how Lu Yuan made huge profits through his "business".
Lu Yuanbang was finally poisoned by Lu Zhi and his team, and all the members of the Lu family were engulfed in fire, which was really very tragic, those servants and maids were innocent victims, but Lu Yuanbang himself really deserved to be sentenced to death.
He, the ** person, died at the hands of his close brother Lu Zhong and the little scholar Lu Zhi, which is undoubtedly a manifestation of karma.
Those corrupt ** who have been robbed by them are obviously also bad people. They had been sentenced to death before they were caught, and their deaths had nothing to do with them, so they were killed, they were deceived, and they themselves became victims. It's really a cycle of cause and effect, and karma is always unpleasant.
The wicked are ranked second: Lu Zhong.
Lu Zhong's evil deeds are comparable to Lu Yuan's atrocities.
Those past killings and overstepping incidents were all jointly committed by them. In his opinion, these people who kill people and oversell goods are himself. Lu Zhong used a knife to end the lives of those brothers.
Lu Yuanbang originally planned to secretly tell his brothers to either flee together or swim against the current together to eliminate Lu Yuanbang.
However, Lu Zhong did not disclose this information to any of his brothers. Because he knows that there are many secrets in it. In fact, deep down, he must have been thinking about these vast wealth, the fewer people get the better the distribution. Because Lu Yuanbang made a promise, he handed over all the boxes of ** to him.
When they washed their hands and went ashore, the immoral, forcible purchases and ** they carried out led to the destruction of many families and the death of people. But the real mastermind behind it is not Lu Yuan's atrocities, but Lu Zhong.
Compared with Lu Yuan's rough image, Lu Zhong's scheming is obviously deeper.
Lu Zhi once told Chen Wang that those malicious plans were actually planned by Lu Zhong outside the helpers.
Later, in order to get rid of Lu Yuan's atrocities, Lu Zhong decided to become the leader himself, and tried to win over Lu Zhi and Liu.
Ten. 7. Zhang Gui and others, who caused the death of hundreds of residents of the Lu Mansion, committed a serious crime and had blood on his hands.
Judging from the actual situation, Lu Zhong's ruthlessness may even exceed Lu Yuan's atrocities.
When he described his past experiences to Lu Zhi, it was natural for him to blame all the bad things on Lu Yuanbang and beautify himself. Judging from Lu Yuan's trust in him, in fact, the more than 20 brothers he eliminated back then were probably planned by Lu Zhong for Lu Yuanbang.
The villain ranks third: the cold catcher.
In the play, there are relatively few scenes of cold catchers, and these are presented through the memories of Qu Sangeng. In Qu Sangen's view, Leng Zhutou is both his mentor and his father. Therefore, everything that Qu Sangen recalls is full of deep feelings for **, and most of them are the beautiful teachings that ** gave him.
Therefore, in the process of some viewers chasing the drama, they may ignore the evil behavior of cold head catching.
To some extent, the harm caused by the cold head may even surpass that of Lu Yuanbang and Lu Zhong!
In fact, the cold catcher is a civil servant and has the power to enforce the law, and the main task is to arrest criminals and ensure the safety of the population. Today, he has risen to the position of county public security chief.
A man who is both a legal expert and a law enforcement officer, but who colludes with and colludes with the murderers, and when he acts, his methods are both firm and decisive, which is truly frightening.
After Lu Zhi and his team set fires, how could a little scholar named Lu Zhi successfully inherit the legacy left by Lu Yuanbang?Can this really be achieved by relying only on the identity certificate of a Zhao Juren, coupled with the silver provided by Lu Zhi?
The cold catcher is undoubtedly the person who can communicate effectively with the magistrate.
Compared to Lu Yuanbang and Lu Zhong, Leng Zhutou's hands may not be as bloodstained as them. However, the crimes and harms of the cold catcher in terms of **, shielding and standing up for the evildoers far exceed those of Lu Yuanbang and Lu Zhong!
The crime of cold headhunting is unforgivable.
Therefore, when the audience witnesses that Qu Sangen cooperated with Xue Juren to kill Wei Zhixian in order to avenge Leng Zhutou, and also indirectly led to the death of Song Dianshi, Xia Zhutou and five or six officials, they may have strong anger and contempt for Qu Sangen!
However, the fundamental reason why Qu San went astray is precisely where the cold catcher is located.
The villain ranks fourth: Lu Zhi (Xue Juren).
Regarding Lu Zhi, I have already written an article to analyze him before, so I will not describe it in detail here. However, if you can take a closer look at his life trajectory, you may find that this "big demon" is actually a person with character weaknesses - there are some shortcomings and deficiencies in his character. In short, Lu Naohara is a child who may be slightly selfish, shrewd, and ambitious, but he is kind and compassionate by nature. However, in the lives of Lu Zhong and Lu Yuanbang in Lu Mansion, he was affected by their crimes, as well as the double harm caused to him by Lu Yuanbang and Lu Zhong, which made Lu Zhi gradually go into darkness and become a villain who did not hesitate to kill.
Despite Lu Zhi's bad personality, what he went through and the predicament he suffered did make people feel a little sympathy for him.
Ranked 5th for the wicked: Yuji (never satisfied).
Yuji, as a chef, was originally fully capable of relying on his cooking skills to maintain the basic needs of life, but his greed made him crave more, and in order to pursue more wealth, he was willing to take the initiative to cooperate with Lu Zhi.
When discussing how to eliminate the hundreds of people in the Lu Mansion, even killers like Liu Seventeen felt a headache. In the face of so many people, I am afraid that every sword will be rolled up by a knife. Chen Wang even said that he only needed to eliminate Lu Yuanbang and his brother and his family of four.
However, Yuji excitedly proposes that he can add *** to a whole pot of soup. He also took the initiative to invite Liu Seventeen to taste *** and found that it had a special taste. So, he suggested adding more salt and spices at the right time to mask the original taste of ***.
As a chef, how can you have such a ruthless character?It is really difficult for such a chef to prevent harm to others, because few people would think that the food he eats every day contains toxic ingredients.
In the twenty years after the Lu family fire, Yu Er became the owner of the Qilin Building under the pseudonym Niu Bu Bu, and his work method was both meticulous and careful, so he lived the longest.
Although he knew that his mistakes were serious, he never sincerely repented. He was to blame for all this. Surprisingly, when he was finally arrested by Wei Zhixian, Wei Zhixian asked him to confess to Xue Juren. He is rapidly plotting the terms of negotiation with Wei Zhixian, not only to save his own life, but also to obtain more benefits. Regarding the life and death of his companions, this is not a matter of particular concern to him.
You Er's viciousness and viciousness are even more terrifying than killers like Liu Qiqi and Zhang Gui.
Wicked people ranked 6th: Chen Wang.
Chen Wang is actually a very timid person. There are three reasons why he is willing to work with Lu Zhi and others: first, he owes Lu Zhi a lot of favors;Secondly, he admired Lu Zhi's wisdom and ability very much;Thirdly, he has a gambling habit and is often in debt, so he often faces financial difficulties;Fourth, he is out of respect for "righteousness";In the end, he knew that he couldn't quit easily, because once he decided to quit, Lu Zhi and his team would definitely take action against him to keep his mouth shut.
Before the arson incident, Lu Zhi and several others were in charge of different tasks. Chen Wang was assigned to kill Lu Buxian, but when he saw that Lu Buxian was unconscious due to drinking *** soup, he finally didn't have the courage to take action.
Therefore, this person is actually not so ruthless, he is only a ** at most.
Sure enough, after the arson case, Chen Wang became the first person to be killed by Lu Zhi.
Since Chen Wang was reluctant to leave the county and also wanted to be filial to his mother, coupled with his penchant for bragging and showing off after drinking, Lu Zhi feared that he would expose their crimes, so he pushed him into the lake and drowned.
Compared with the top five, Chen Wang is more like the ** among them.
Ranked 7th in the wicked ranking: Zhang Gui and Liu XVII.
After the two brothers were expelled from the division together, Zhang Gui chose to serve as a guardian in the Lu Mansion, and Liu Seventeen became a killer.
The play does not clearly state why the two of them were kicked out of the division by **, but judging from their later crimes, it is obvious that they were expelled because they did improper things that led to the humiliation of the division.
Those who learn martial arts are supposed to rely on their own abilities, whether to eliminate violence, uphold justice, or serve the country, but Zhang Gui and Liu XVII chose to use their martial arts to engage in killing-related activities.
They did not hesitate to kill people, and even the court ** like Wei Zhixian dared to assassinate.
Ranked 8th among the wicked: Wang Fuzi.
Wang Fuzi is not only a teacher but also a talent in the county. He was supposed to care for and love his students, but because the student Qiao Gouer stole the pen, he actually had a physical altercation with Qiao Gou'er, and even accidentally killed Qiao Gou'er, his temper was extremely short-tempered, and his attack on Qiao Gou'er was really cruel.
Some netizens revealed that the original script was set that Wang Fuzi had a pedophile, which caused Qiao Gou'er to resist fiercely, and in the end he accidentally killed Qiao Gou'er.
Observing the various behaviors of Wang Fuzi, there is indeed such a possibility.
Regardless of whether Wang Fuzi has pedophilic tendencies or violent tendencies, as a well-respected teacher, everything he does has led to the death of Qiao Gou'er, who is both a hypocrite and a bad person.
In the process of assisting Lu Zhi in forging the suicide note, Wang Fuzi fell into Lu Zhi's hands because he had the handle to kill Qiao Gou'er, which he only lent a hand when he had no other choice.
However, a crime committed under compulsion is also a crime, but it is not as serious as a crime caused by an active crime.
As a result, he is ranked 8th.
The wicked man in the 9th place is Doctor Cheng.
Doctor Cheng didn't have any major crimes in his own right, just because he had a habit of stealing small items, which led to him being found by Chen Wang, and finally threatened by Lu Zhi, who had to assist Lu Zhi and others to poison Lu Yuanbang.
However, as a doctor dedicated to ** and saving patients, he skillfully uses his medical skills to harm others, and his poisoning skills are so superb that even a puppet (forensic doctor) cannot see through it, which is truly frightening and disgusting.
Although Lu Yuanbang, who was killed by Doctor Cheng, was also a heinous person, according to the development of the plot, he didn't realize that Lu Yuanbang was a big thief. Therefore, he committed the act of killing people, just for his own safety.
The 10th ranking of the wicked: was the predecessor of the magistrate.
After Lu Zhi's arson case, Lu Zhi went to the yamen to complain, accusing Lu Jinxin of poisoning his own brother and trying to seize Lu Yuan's property. The magistrate was well aware of the bizarre nature of the case and thought that the story that Lu Zhi had woven was unreliable. However, considering Lu Zhi's previous promise of "filial piety" and the praise of Leng Zhutou and Zhao Juren, the magistrate decided not to conduct further investigation, but simply identified Lu Zhi as the rightful heir.
They are undoubtedly harmful to those who are greedy for money and lazy.
Villains ranked 11th: Zhao Juren.
Zhao Juren and Lu Yuanbang run a business together, and I believe that he often does some unethical behavior. Still, it is ironic that he is a well-respected and virtuous man in the county.
Since ancient times, there have been countless such wolves dressed as human beings, as well as those hypocrites who talk about benevolence, righteousness and morality without concealment, but in fact they are male thieves and female prostitutes
The 12th ranking of the wicked: Yi Bantou.
Even an inconspicuous head of the official team has the ability to do whatever he wants. He used to be the manager of the soap class, and he didn't have many job opportunities at hand. After the death of the cold catcher, he temporarily took on the role of the fast class catcher, but before he officially became the catcher, he couldn't wait to get more benefits.
It is also a moth in the yamen.
What is even more frightening is that such incidents have shown an upward and downward trend, and have become a common social phenomenon that is taken for granted.
In this drama, there are 13 characters (including Zhang Gui and Liu Qiqi) - villains and reader friends, which one do you think is the most **?Who is the most compassionate?Who deserves our sympathy?
By the way, let's talk about the canonical history of the Song Dynasty. This story took place at the end of the Song Dynasty and was a very serious matter in the officialdom at that time. Although he was an upright and selfless man, in his young years, his inability to withstand the punishment of the law led to the unfortunate death of his fellow villagers and friends. This incident is a stain that Song Dianshi can't wash away in his life, and it is also a dark cloud that will always hang over his heart.
However, Song Dianshi finally chose to take the initiative to assist Wei Zhixian and blocked a fatal blow for Wei Zhixian, which was equivalent to using his own life to wash away the mistakes he had made in the past.
"Under the Prosperous City", which is only 12 episodes, shows the complex face of human nature. Human nature is a hard thing to define. To do good or to do something bad may depend on just one thought. Human nature is so complex that it is sometimes really difficult to fully describe it with the words "good" or "evil".
