"This, this, this? This is a rumor, right? When Zhuangzi heard this, he couldn't sit still and said loudly at "I'll tell you."

"Rumors? How is it rumor-mongering? I told you to retort in a hurry: "My friend saw it with his own eyes, how can it be a rumor-mongering?" ”

Zhuangzi stood up, pretended to be kind and reminded of "I told you", and said: "I tell you, you don't believe it if you don't see it with your own eyes!" Only what you see with your own eyes and hear with your own ears can be trusted. ”

"My friend is credible! He's not the kind of person who lies, I believe him the most! His friends are all over the world, he is doing business in the lacquer garden, and he is afraid that the Song State will fight, so he took the business out and returned to the Qi State from the Song State. How can it be fake? Again! Why would he lie to me? Isn't it? ”

Zhuangzi looked at the anxious look of "I'll tell you", shook his head and said, "I'll tell you!" He's lying! He lied to you! I'm telling you! I'm also from the Song Kingdom, and! It's also from the lacquer garden of the Song Kingdom!

I'm telling you! When I came to Qi, Korea had not yet attacked Song. Korea just stationed troops on the border of the Song State, waiting for the soldiers and horses of the Wei State and the Zhao State to attack together.

I'm telling you! When I was in the Qi Kingdom, I heard that Korea had attacked two small cities in the Song Kingdom and occupied two small cities.

I'm telling you! I have come all the way from the Song Kingdom, without a pause, until today I came to the capital, and I have not really arrived at the capital of your Qi Kingdom. And your friend, even if he rides a horse, keeps rushing to the country of Qi day and night. He left later than me, after the Qiyuan people won the battle and buried 30,000 Korean soldiers. He was also stripped of his clothes and buried in the vegetable garden as fertilizer, how could he return to Qi so soon? Isn't it?

So! He's lying! ”

In fact, that's exactly what happened. Zhuangzi rushed to the country of Qi day and night, and the road did not stop. Although he is walking, he walks more slowly. Even if the friend of "I told you" rode a horse, it would be impossible to return to Qi before him.

During the Warring States Period, what happened yesterday took ten days and half a month at the earliest to be transmitted to other countries. Even if it is 800 miles urgent, even if the flying pigeon passes the book, it is not so fast.

"How is that possible? I believe in my friend! I told you to argue unconvinced: "My friend is on the official road, and he has customs clearance documents, so he can take the carriage with him." ”

During the Warring States period, there were no official documents for horses and vehicles, and ordinary people could not ride horses or drive to other countries. Especially during the war, restrictions on horses and vehicles were stricter. If you're unlucky and don't have a backer, horses and vehicles will be forcibly requisitioned for military supplies.

"Even if your friend rides a horse, it can't be so fast! When I came from Qiyuan, South Korea had not yet sent troops. When I walked to Guyuan City, I heard that Korea had sent troops to rob the two cities of the Song Kingdom. It has only been a few days since I went from Guyuan City to the capital, how is it possible? When the Koreans were defeated, the Qiyuan people stripped the soldiers of their clothes and buried their bodies in their own vegetable gardens.

What do you say? Isn't it? I went from Guyuan City to the capital, and his friend came here from Qiyuan. What do you say? How can it be? Even if the official messenger was in an expedited manner for eight hundred miles, it would not be possible to reach the capital so quickly. And also! It seems that it has been a few days since I told you the news. Isn't it?

Even if it's an official eight-hundred-mile expedited, it's not so fast! The eight-hundred-mile rush is not a messenger running the whole way, it is a wheel running, a messenger running for a while, isn't that the case? Don't? Your friend runs the whole course alone? Did he have too much gold and silver on his body, and he didn't dare to stop on the road, did he? ”

"Hahaha!"

"Hehehe!"

"Hey, hey, hey"

"Ahem, ahem!"

The companions I told you all burst out laughing.

I'll tell you that when I looked at Zhuangzi, I couldn't speak for a long time. At last! He remembered and asked rhetorically, "You, you?" Maybe you're lying? You said you just came from the Song Kingdom, who would believe you? Who are you? ”

Zhuangzi didn't answer directly, and said with a smile: "Isn't it because you like to pass on the news that that your friend deliberately revealed it to you?" Think about it? Isn't it? ”

"You?" I told you to ask rhetorically, "Why did he tell me this, he, him?" What does he mean? He asked me to deliver the message? ”

Zhuangzi explained: "Isn't it simple? Merchants who do business from country to country generally have another mission, that is, to help others deliver letters, goods, and piggybacks, and receive certain benefits from them.

You don't know this either? You should know. Ordinary businessmen will stop by to help others bring letters, goods or something, right? ”

"This, this, this?"

"You still don't understand, do you? Then I'll tell you! It's very likely that your friend got someone else's favor fee and someone asked him to spread the news. So! He was the first to spread it to you. He knows you like 'I'll tell you' and get the news out there.

You have no ill will, but you have been taken advantage of.

I estimate that this friend of yours may have returned to Qi very early. The news he got was probably passed down through a flying pigeon. Otherwise! The message is not so fast. What happened in the lacquer garden of the Song Kingdom, he couldn't have known it now......"

Regarding this "I tell you" that the Qiyuan people disposed of the corpses, Zhuangzi believes that there is such a possibility. As a Taoist, this is not excessive. But! but not taking into account the feelings of others.

If this is the case, the consequences are severe.

But! It is not excluded that some people deliberately spread rumors to slander Taoism and make the world reject Taoism. To say that you Taoist does not respect the deceased, and that you do not respect the deceased is tantamount to humiliating the family of the deceased.

If this is the case, the consequences are severe! It's true!

So! Zhuangzi decided to preach to these people and explain: the murderer will be punished with mourning and weeping, and the funeral will be punished.

Lao Tzu said: The husband and the soldier, the ominous weapon, the object or the evil, so there is no place for those who have the Tao.

If a gentleman lives on the left, he will use soldiers on the right.

The soldier's ominous weapon, not the gentleman's weapon, has to be used as a last resort, and tranquility is the best.

Victory is not beautiful, and the beauty is happy to kill.

Those who kill people will not be able to achieve the world's ambitions. Good things are still left, and evil things are still right. The general is on the left, the general is on the right, and the funeral is punishable.

The murderer wept with sorrow, and defeated with the funeral.

What does this mean? You listen to me, and after listening to it, you will know whether the people of Qiyuan did that. Because! Qiyuan is the base of Taoism, and the people there believe in the Tao and do everything according to the Tao......"
