At this time, Wuling City, the state capital of Jiangyang Prefecture, is surging, heroes and heroes from all over the world gather here, the large and small inns in the city are all full, and some Jianghu guests who come late have to stay in the people's homes.

Most of these rivers and lakes are generous, bringing a considerable amount of income to the people in the city, unintentionally, making the economy of Wuling City prosperous a lot, and the people in the city are all happy, although they can't say it clearly, but they are very grateful to the nameless thief in their hearts.

It can be seen that in the eyes of the vast majority of people, they don't care whether you are good or bad, as long as you can bring them vital benefits, they will think that you are a good person, on the contrary, if you touch or even damage their interests, they will think that you are a great rebellion and a great crime. This is the selfish side of human nature, and once this mentality ferments, it is very terrible, and it will even destroy conscience, and it will change the standard of judging the right and wrong of things.

For example, if a certain place is affected by a disaster, the refugees are displaced and miserable, and a great benevolent person sees that the refugees are pitiful, and pays out of his own pocket to provide them with food and clothing, and after a period of time, the great benevolent person stops funding, and these refugees not only do not feel grateful, but also accuse the great good man of being hypocritical, and he does not care whether so many poor people live or die with so much money! They don't care whether the great good people are really good or not, and they don't care whether the great good people have encountered difficulties, they only care about whether you are good for me, and your kindness is not exchanged for the goodness in people's hearts, but the ugliness in human nature; even if someone comes forward to say a fair word, the great good people have money, it is hard earned, and it is a great affection to come forward to help you. Those refugees who have benefited are like being trampled on a sore foot, and they will immediately come forward to refute them vigorously, saying that the great good man is a deceitful person who has deceived the world and stolen his name, and through a small charity to the refugees, he has achieved his unspeakable and dirty purpose! Moreover, the more favors he has received, the more he will come forward to slander them, as if they were an extremely valuable object that had been used up by others and thrown aside, and his heart was full of humiliation and unwillingness, and there was an inexhaustible bitterness in his chest.

This kind of thing abounds. If this kind of atmosphere of not distinguishing between right and wrong and focusing only on vital interests is allowed to spread, the individual will lose his conscience, the nation will collapse his spirit, and the country will lose its backbone. A nation or country that has no concept of right and wrong and only pays attention to economic interests will rot from its roots if it cannot make changes in time and do not use external forces to destroy it, and there will be no hope of cure.

Ye Heng has a deep understanding of this psychological change of the people. Along the way, he has helped many people, and he has also suffered a lot of injuries and heartbreaks!

Gradually, even if the road was uneven, Ye Heng no longer took the initiative to take action, not because he became insensitive, but because the world forced him to learn to be indifferent.

Not long ago, Ye Heng met an old woman on the road, dizzy with hunger, begging along the street, Ye Heng really couldn't stand it, and was kind to charity, but was caught by the old woman, shouting on the street that Ye Heng had stolen her silver taels, crying and asking Ye Heng to return it. The old woman's acting skills were very good, she burst into tears, kept cursing, crying and saying that if she lied, she would be hit by five thunders from the sky, or she would be hit by a carriage when she went out, and if there was a lie, the whole family would not be able to die! That scene made Ye Heng stunned and anxious, and he didn't know how to deal with it.

The old woman's cry soon attracted many onlookers, and a group of righteous people who did not know the truth stood at the highest point of morality and accused Ye Heng one after another, he was young and did not study well, and he had no pity at all. The old woman's blackmail made him angry, and the indifference between right and wrong of passers-by made him angry, Ye Heng was so hateful that he wanted to beat these people violently, but he had to endure it. Because he knows that once he does it, reasonableness will become unreasonable, and when the time comes, even if the old woman is wrong, you are a young man, you shouldn't do it, and a simple sentence of "you shouldn't" can put Ye Heng in a place where there is no return.

In the end, it was the woman who helped Ye Heng to relieve the siege, facing the old woman who was crying and shouting, the woman sympathized with her experience, and psychologically made the old woman believe that she was helping her, and asked her very concernedly, when did you find out that the silver taels were stolen, how many silver taels were lost, what is the face value of the silver taels and so on about the details, at first the old woman would answer vaguely, and then gradually felt that something was wrong, not only no longer answered the question, but also scolded the woman for not asking more, and roared, I just lost the silver taels, and I insisted that Ye Heng stole it, Ye Heng must compensate！

At last the woman's face changed dramatically, and she stared at the old woman and said, "Say what you just said again! If you still dare to talk nonsense, I will cut out your tongue!"

The old woman didn't expect that the woman who had always been kind and pleasant would be abrupt

turned her face, but in front of everyone's eyes, she didn't believe that the other party dared to do anything to her, and continued to play tricks: "You don't care how much silver taels I lost, anyway, he has to compensate me!"

"Okay, I'll ask him to compensate, then how many taels of silver have you been stolen? How can you be compensated without an accurate number?" The woman said in an unkind tone: "So many people are watching, are you still afraid that he will not be able to escape?"

"It's just, we can't let him run!"

"Old man, don't be afraid, we'll call the shots for you!"

"Old man, you just say a number, we are reasonable wherever we go, can we still be afraid?"

......

A group of people were filled with righteous indignation, and they all spoke up to help the weak old woman get justice, and even surrounded Ye Heng, so that he had no chance to escape.

When the old woman saw so many people come forward to help her, she knew that it was indeed impossible not to say a number, so she thought twice and said, "He stole ten taels of silver from me!"

The woman sneered and continued, "Is that ten taels of silver ingots, or ten taels of silver tickets, or some scattered pieces of silver?"

This question was raised in public, and the crowd suddenly quieted down a lot, and many people's eyes looked at the old woman, because this is the crux of the problem, you said that you were stolen silver taels, you can't not know what your silver taels look like.

The old woman hesitated, and finally said that it was ten taels of silver. The woman turned to the crowd and shouted, "Have you heard?" the old man said that she had been stolen a dozen taels of broken silver, and that everyone was here, so let's help her bear witness?"

Everyone replied one after another, the old woman's eyes flickered, obviously a little flustered in her heart, but she didn't give up, in case Ye Heng really had ten taels of silver on her, or more, then she could get this money out of thin air, so she was calm and wanted to see what the woman had.

The woman turned to Ye Heng and said, "Take off your clothes, one by one!"

Hearing this, Ye Heng's expression was stunned, and he didn't understand why the woman did this. Seeing Ye Heng hesitating, the woman said again: "Do you hear, take off your clothes one by one!"

If someone else asked Ye Heng to do this, it is hard to say whether he would kill someone, but he would at least beat the other party all over the ground to find his teeth! However, this is the request of his sister who has been together for several months, and he is his own life-saving benefactor, even if he is unwilling in his heart, Ye Heng gritted his teeth and began to take off his clothes.

When Ye Heng took off his coat, the woman took it and shook it a few times, and said, "Everyone can see clearly, there is no silver tael in this dress, why don't you check it yourself?"

The old woman did not stretch out her hand to take it, but she still made a fool of herself, and said forcefully, "Who knows where he hid the money?

"Really, then we'll let him take it off, and we'll look for it one by one!" said the woman coldly.

At this time, how could Ye Heng not understand that the woman was helping him prove his innocence. So, after changing his previous mentality, Ye Heng took the initiative to take out the silver taels on his body, bits and pieces, less than two taels in total, this is still what he got by hunting some wild fowl and game along the way, put these silver taels on the ground, Ye Heng said: "This is all the money on my body, it is less than two taels at all, you can find the rest yourself!"

As he spoke, Ye Heng took off his shirt very neatly, revealing his sturdy upper body, only to see a very ordinary-looking ring on his neck with a red rope, smooth muscle lines on his body, and several scars. This is the scar left by Ye Heng's infestation in the mountains and forests in the past two months, taking the Yun brothers and sisters to practice fighting, and fighting with beasts, and there are still a few new injuries, which have just formed scars. Seeing such a sturdy figure, some young women screamed in the crowd,

The woman rummaged through Ye Heng's clothes one by one, of course, she would not find anything. Every time the woman turned over a piece, she had to hand it to the old woman and let her look at it again. Of course the old woman would not answer, for she had already rummaged in front of her, and she would not be able to find anything if she continued to look for it.

Some people in the crowd of onlookers came to help the old woman check, of course, there could be no so-called stolen ten taels of silver.

Seeing that only his clothes were left, Ye Heng asked the old woman, "Do you want to continue to take them off?"

Without waiting for the old woman to reply, the woman said, "Take it off, why don't you take it off? If you don't, people will say that you have hidden the silver in your trousers." ”

Ye Heng took off his pants neatly, leaving only a pair of shorts to cover his shame. The woman did not answer this time, but said, "Old man, you better check for yourself, he can hide silver."

The place of the child is basically gone. If you can't find the money, you'll have to give him an explanation!"

The old woman was in a hurry, knowing that she would not be able to find the silver today, so she no longer held on, and turned around and wanted to leave, but the woman was quick to catch her, and said coldly: "What? The stolen silver is not found? He still has a pair of shorts on his body, why don't you go and search to see if it is hidden in it?"

"Perhaps, yes! Maybe he had an accomplice, and he transferred the money to his accomplices!" the old woman did not repent, and continued to quibble.

"Smack!"

A loud slap was slapped the old woman's face, and the woman asked coldly, "Does it hurt?"

"Smack!"

Without waiting for the old woman to speak, she slapped the old woman in the face with a hard and loud backhand, and two consecutive slaps blindfolded the old woman, but the woman did not show mercy, and then asked, "Doesn't it hurt?"

"Smack!"

Without stopping, the third slap suddenly pulled over, and the old woman's face was suddenly left with dozens of red and long finger prints!

"You don't want your old face anymore, I guess it won't hurt, right?" said the woman to herself, "If you boil your bones into oil, and you can't sell them for ten taels of silver, you dare to blackmail the people who help you, and a lot of them are old and live to be animals?"

At this point, many onlookers understood what was going on, and some of them were deeply amazed by the woman's approach, believing that such an old man should be punished, but there were still some moral saints who immediately stepped forward to stop the woman: "What are you doing? How can you beat someone? She is also an old man no matter how wrong, don't you have parents? How can you bear to beat an old man like this?"

The words of the moral saint immediately angered the woman, and she turned her head to stare at these people, and the woman said murderously: "What is wrong with me beating her? What if I kill her? If any of you don't want to stand up for me at once, you will suffer for her!"

The moral saints immediately retreated, and it didn't matter what they were talking about, they really let them stand up, and they hid faster than rabbits one by one, but their mouths were unconvinced, and they said with fierce expressions: "You woman, you are really uneducated!"

"Hahahaha, upbringing? Why don't you educated people come forward to help those poor people who are in trouble in the world? Why don't you educated people come forward to crack down on those unhealthy tendencies? Why don't you educated people come forward to protect those humble and kind people? A group of shameless people dressed in bright clothes also deserve to mention the word "upbringing" to your aunt and grandmother, and your aunt and grandmother will teach you how to write the word "upbringing" today!" The more she spoke, the more excited she became, the more angry she became, and she took one step at a great speed, and struck the moral saints with duck's beaks one by one, either by slapping them in the face, or kicking them in the body, or by punching them in the mouth, knocking out their teeth one by one.

Most of the onlookers were ordinary people, and where did they experience the destruction of martial arts masters like women? After a while, those moral saints were beaten and cried for their fathers and mothers, and they no longer dared to speak at will. Only then did the woman come to the old woman, who was already pale with fright, and trembled.

For the people who help her, she can blackmail at will, because she understands that those who can help her are kind people, and even if the matter is revealed, she will not do anything to her. However, for a woman who only cares about right and wrong, and who is wrong and will be punished, she really does not dare to offend!

Seeing that the woman was pressing towards her like a fierce spirit, the old woman immediately weakened her legs, collapsed on the ground in fright, and cried: "Is there any heavenly reason, someone is beating the old man, God, open your eyes, and is there any royal law!"

"I don't think God has time to care about you, isn't it true that if someone tells a lie, he will be hit by five thunderbolts and the whole family will die?

Ye Heng had already dressed at this time, put away the broken silver scattered on the ground, and finally thought about it, snatched the silver taels from the woman's hand, and secretly swore that he would never be kind again in the future.

"Ye Heng, today is a lesson, let you know what it means to be sinister, and it is difficult to be a good person!" The woman said with emotion, "People should keep a kind heart when they live, but you can't let others bully you just because you are kind! You repay your grievances with virtue, but how can you repay virtue?"
