Xu Yan sighed: "I can't say why I'm upset - I just think that this world shouldn't be like this." I found that this society was darker and more cruel than I had imagined, as if all my previous knowledge and understanding of the world had been turned upside down. I thought I knew, but now I realized I didn't know anything at all. ”

What happened today gave Xu Yan a great shock. To put it in fashionable terms, his outlook on life began to darken.

Zhu Youxiang chuckled: "Being able to know that you don't know anything shows that Gongzi has made progress." In fact, Childe doesn't have to be depressed, since he is a mortal of flesh and blood, he is greedy for a while, which is not a new thing, and there are many records in various predecessors' notes and anecdotes. Life is unpredictable, and even the sages of the past are inevitably unsafe.

Actually, I think that the statement of that duke Huang Shan is not unreasonable-Childe, do you think those drug dealers who robbed you deserve to die?"

"Definitely damn it!" Xu Yan said without hesitation: "Drug trafficking is a capital crime in our country, not to mention that they still robbed us and planned to kidnap our girls -- these people should be killed!"

"That's it. The officials just want to kill some people who should be killed, why does Childe feel uneasy?"

"Xuan Yun, although these people deserve to die, according to the laws of the country, in order to approve the death penalty of a criminal, it must go through formal legal steps such as investigation, evidence collection, prosecution, and formal trial by the court, and then it can only be executed after conviction......

Zhu Youxiang smiled: "Childe." You forget that you are no longer an ordinary citizen. The secular law of the world. It only exists to restrain the foolishness of the mortal world. I am a cultivator, why bother with this?

I am a cultivator. If we should act according to our own hearts, how can we stick to the laws of the world? Since those people have a reason to die, then they can kill them, so what is the complaint? The only thing that can restrain us is the way of heaven and our original heart.

In my opinion, that Huangshan official, he did much better than Gongzi. This man has a nimble hand, a quick decision, a decisive kill—he knows it. What is he supposed to do. I think that in the future, this person should have a greater future, but I am afraid that he is not only an official leader. ”

"Xuan Yun, I'm very conflicted. The money Huangshan gave me involved too much, and I didn't want it. ”

"Childe wants to return it?"

"Go back? I'm afraid it won't work. Huang Shan gave me this money because he wanted to curry favor with me and apologize for the things that offended me. Second, they also want to win me over and tell me to shut up and not tell the truth about this matter. If I return the money, it means that I will not forgive him, or that I intend to tell the truth of the truth, whichever way it may be. will have a mortal enmity with Huangshan. ”

Xu Yan usually watches a lot of movies and TV series, and there are many such plots in it. A certain good cadre is as incorruptible as water and refuses to be co-opted by ** forces. didn't take any money from it, but he was quickly retaliated against by the ** forces, and he was quickly unlucky.

Now, Xu Yan's attitude towards Huangshan is like this: he knows that this person is very dark and ruthless, and he is a ruthless character. But what he did had nothing to do with Xu Yan, and Xu Yan didn't need to report him, but the problem was that Huangshan forced money over, and Xu Yan couldn't help but accept it.

Zhu Youxiang smiled faintly: "Make a feud with Huangshan? So what--this person can be called a character, but no matter how great he is, he is just a mortal."

No matter how powerful a mortal is, he is just an ordinary person, but my generation is a person in cultivation, once he embarks on the path of cultivation, he will be very different from them. When we exist in the world, we should look down on the world and look down on all living beings. In the future, after Gongzi cultivates to a higher level, look back, what is the difference between those ordinary people and ants in your eyes?

Isn't it ridiculous to worry about an ant?

Therefore, Childe does not have to think about who he has a grudge with. The money was used by the prince when he needed it, and if he didn't want it, he returned it to him -- as a cultivator, it was very useless to worry about these things. ”

Listening to Zhu Youxiang's words, Xu Yan thought thoughtfully: Yes, the cultivation of the true cultivation method that he cultivated, which not only made him have all kinds of magical skills, but also advanced to the extraordinary ladder. Those rules that can bind most people in the world are binding on him -- Xu Yan dare not say that the laws of the world are invalid to him, and now he has not been able to refine to the point where he can physically block bullets, and to say that he can ignore the law is not arrogance, that is looking for death -- but he must admit that with the increase of his strength, the binding force of the laws and rules in society that bind ordinary people is slowly weakening.

According to Zhu Youxiang, with his strength, he will one day be able to enter the realm of ignoring the world. At that time, looking back, I saw that the troubles I have now are really meaningless.

Thinking about this, Xu Yan only felt that his mood suddenly brightened. He thanked Zhu Youxiang: "Thank you, Xuan Yun." ”

"Childe doesn't have to mind. We are all advanced from mortal beings to cultivation, and the change of mentality takes time. In the past, when I first got involved in the spiritual path, I was quite naïve and made a lot of jokes...... Hehe, these things are in the long run, and I will talk to you in detail when I have the opportunity. But there is something, I want to ask Childe's ......"

Zhu Youxiang frowned slightly, wanted to speak and stopped, Xu Yan was waiting for her to speak, suddenly, the phone in his bag rang, Xu Yan took out the phone and looked at it, but it was his assistant Huang Xi calling, he said to Zhu Youxiang, "Sorry, I'll answer the phone", got up and went back to his room to answer the phone.

"Hey, Huang Xi, I'm Xu Yan!"

Huang Xi's crisp voice came from the microphone: "Major Xu, hello! I'm sorry to disturb your rest, I will report to you, I have found a suitable house, it is in the Jinxing Community on Henan Road in Wenjiang District - this place, if you get to your side, it will take about an hour, I want to ask you, is this location okay? It won't delay work, right?"

Xu Yan said casually: "Okay, as long as you look suitable, it's okay on my side-"

Huang Xi's call suddenly reminded Xu Yan that he had forgotten a very important thing he hadn't done: not only did he use his gun today. Several shots were fired. According to the regulations, this kind of thing. It seems that I should make a report to my unit.

"That's right, Huang Xi. There's something I'm going to report to you......"

On the phone, Huang Xi interrupted Xu Yan: "I'm sorry, Major Xu, but I have to tell you, you are a superior, I am your subordinate and assistant, you are talking to me, it is not very appropriate to use the word 'report'." You can just say 'communicate' or 'inform'. ”

"Hehe, Huang Xi, we don't have to pay so much attention to these details. ”

Huang Xi smiled: "It's not exquisite, it's just ...... I'm really scared that your superior told me 'report', and if you don't correct your mistake, I really can't talk to you. ”

"Hehe, okay, Huang Xi. Then I'll tell you one thing -- today, I fired, yes, the gun you brought me yesterday. ”

can be heard. There was a clear sound of cold air on the other side of the phone. After a long while, Huang Xi's obviously forced calm trilling voice came from the other side of the phone: "Major Xu, don't make such a joke with me, okay? You are scaring me, right? I remember that you don't seem to have been to the shooting range for training, right?"

"Yes. I haven't trained, but I can't help it. The situation was urgent, and I had no choice but to shoot. ”

"Urgent?" on the phone. Huang Xi's voice sounded like she was dying, and she collapsed and said, "Major Xu, how many shots have you fired in total?

"My friend and I fired about ten or eight shots combined, I forgot...... People did hit a few ...... Uh, one dead and two wounded. ”

"Oh my God! Not only did you shoot, but you also lent the gun to a friend and shot it?" Huang Xi let out a scream, as if she had also been hit by a bullet: "One dead and two wounded?

"I'm not kidding, it's true. ”

There was a long silence on the other side of the phone, and after a long time, Xu Yan heard Huang Xi say weakly: "Major, if it's just hurting people, I can still try my best to help, lose some money, and just treat this as an accident where the gun went off, but if someone dies, the nature of this matter is completely different, and the local public security will definitely intervene, and it can't be concealed - I'm sorry, major, I don't dare to cover up this matter, I have to report it to the headquarters of the Fourth Bureau." ”

Xu Yan was confused when he heard this: "Huang Xi, I told you this, I didn't plan to let you cover it! I originally asked you to report this matter to the bureau!"

Listening to Xu Yan's tone, he didn't have the slightest sense of panic and heaviness after the catastrophe, and at this time, Huang Xi also felt strange. She was surprised, "Major, can you elaborate on what you used to use the gun?"

"Today, I went to the Qingxiu Mountain Scenic Area in the suburbs with my classmates, and we ran into a group of robbers on the mountain, who robbed us and planned to take our classmates hostage. Unable to bear it any longer, I finally drew my gun and opened fire, killing one person on the spot, wounding two others, and the other robbers fled. ”

"Robbers?" Hearing the word "robbers," Huang Xi was stunned for a moment, but he suddenly understood--where are so many robbers coming from this blue sky and bright daylight? Isn't it true, it was Xu Yan, the eldest young master, who went out to play and encountered some mountain people who wanted to knock them on bamboo poles, and our eldest young master was annoyed, so he took out a gun and broke up a few mountain people, and then forced them to be robbers-I'm afraid that this is the real fact, right?

She said quickly: "Yes, they are robbers, and this must be bitten! Major Xu, you must insist on this statement, they are robbers! No matter who asks, don't change your statement!"

Xu Yan was stunned for a moment, understood Huang Xi's intentions, and he laughed and laughed: "I said Huang Xi, you are mistaken, it's not that I said that they are robbers, but they are really robbers -- not only robbers, but also drug dealers! Those escaped drug dealers have been hunted down by the Public Security Bureau and have been shot dead by the police. ”

"Drug dealer?Qingxiushan?" Huang Xi was stunned for a moment, and she said, "Major, I have a little impression, it seems that this matter is mentioned in tonight's Jincheng news, right?"

"Yes, right, you also read this news? That's a group of drug dealers who came and tried to rob us, but we repelled them...... We shot on the spot, killed one, wounded two, and then handed them all over to the police. ”

"Oh, I see, since the Public Security Bureau also said so, then it's fine. ”

Now that the local public security bureau has confirmed that he is a drug dealer, Huang Xi is also relieved. She has been in the headquarters for a long time, and she has seen a lot of similar things. If Xu Yan encounters only robbers, maybe some people will be suspicious, but if he encounters robbers and drug dealers, then Xu Yan will use his gun, and absolutely no one will have any objections. Everyone knows that drug dealers are real outlaws, and when you encounter them, you will either die or I will live, and you will not be allowed to leave any hands behind.

But Huang Xi remembered one thing again: "But Major Xu, I also watched the news on TV just now, and the news said that it was the police who rounded up and killed those drug dealers, but they didn't mention you!"

"I told the police officer who led the team that I was still studying in Shudu, so I didn't want to be too conspicuous. Moreover, the responsibility of our intelligence department is not to catch drug dealers, so we should give this credit to the Jincheng Public Security Bureau. Therefore, the Jincheng Public Security will not mention us in the news released to the public, but they will send a notice to the headquarters to explain the situation. I'm also telling you in advance, so that you can report to the bureau -- it's not that I want to take any credit, but just to avoid that the Jincheng public security reports have come and the leaders on our side still don't know anything, so it will be embarrassing. ”

"Okay, Major, I see—thank you for telling me about it!"

"It's nothing-huh? Thank me? Why are you thanking me?"

Xu Yan was confused, but Huang Xi smiled and said nothing. She knew that Xu Yan's report might not be of much use to Xu Yan, but for her, it was really a crucial key. If, as Xu Yan said, it was only after the Jincheng Public Security Bureau reported to the bureau that the bureau leaders knew that Xu Yan had done another major incident in Jincheng, then his situation would probably be worrying -- the bureau sent himself here to grasp Xu Yan's movements. But if he didn't even know that Xu Yan shot and killed someone, then in the eyes of the bureau leaders, this must be a major dereliction of duty.

The intelligence department is doing the work of collecting intelligence, but it can't even grasp the information of its own people, and most of the people in the bureau will feel that it seems useless to send themselves over, and they should consider recalling themselves, so their own mission will be considered a failure.

"Major, I wonder if you can be convenient now, I want to meet you. ”

"What's the matter?"

"According to the rules of the bureau, the report on the use of a gun must be submitted within twelve hours, and you fired the gun during the day, so you must write a report on the use of a gun tonight. I'd like to meet with you to find out what was going on and how to write this report with a gun. ”

Listening to Huang Xi's meaning, it seems that she intends to help Xu Yan write a report on the use of guns, and Xu Yan is of course infinitely welcome to this kind of good thing sent to the door. Since he was a child, what Xu Yan was most afraid of was writing that kind of official document, if he let him come by himself, he wouldn't even be able to write a leave note. Hearing that Huang Xi intended to help him write for himself, and that he had this free coolie to catch, how could Xu Yan let it go! He immediately said: "Lieutenant Huang, I'm free now! Can you be convenient now, where can we meet?"

At that moment, the two agreed to meet at Uejima Coffee, which they met yesterday. Xu Yan changed his clothes, he walked out of the bedroom, and said to Zhu Youxiang: "Xuan Yun, I have something to go out for a while-you seem to have something to tell me just now? What is the matter?"

Zhu Youxiang lowered her head, her long eyelashes drooped, and she shook her head and said, "It's not an urgent matter...... Since Childe has something to do, let's go and get busy first. I'm not in a hurry to talk about it another day. ”

Since Zhu Youxiang said that it didn't matter, Xu Yan was not in a hurry -- it is estimated that Zhu Youxiang, a big local tyrant, has some whimsical ideas, and what novelty does she want to buy? Last time she wanted to buy a Boeing plane, what did she want to buy this time? I hope it won't be too outrageous.

However, this kind of thing is really not urgent, and Xu Yan didn't feel at ease, so he went out with an "oh". (To be continued......)
