Chapter 8: Back to the pot

One ring after another, it can be said that almost every rumor seems to be no problem when listened to individually, but it is extremely scary to connect together. Writing "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info rumors of this kind of thing are the easiest to spread in this era of lack of entertainment, and Chen Jian believes that it will not take a morning for these things to spread throughout the city.

Several people looked at Jian Chen and said, "Ji Xia, what should we do?" Are these rumors true? That moon ring...... Doesn't seem to be a good person? ”

The way the clansmen evaluate people is still morally good or bad, Chen Jian thought for a moment and said, "If these rumors are true, then he should not be a good person." We don't have to do anything, just wait. Nothing is done, it has already been done. There will be news soon. ”

After Chen Jian led his people around the city a few times, he heard the drums of Yueyi summoning all the people in the city sound again, and someone came to inform Chen Jian that the old leader invited Chen Jian to go for the same reason as last time.

The reason is the same as last time, and the things to do are about the same as the last time, but this time Jian Chen is extremely careful.

After the envoy left, Jian Chen said to his people: "You should go back immediately, take your weapons, light the fire rope and hide it in the bark box, and you must prepare everything." ”

The men nervously asked, "What's wrong?" Don't...... Could it be that because we are too close to the moon wheel, the people of Yueyi want to treat us as enemies? Don't worry, Ji Xia, although we can't beat so many people in Yueyi, it's still okay to cause chaos and grab a horse to escort you away. They haven't seen Taurley, and we've brought so many bronze swords......"

Jian Chen smiled: "When did we get very close to the moon wheel?" Everything is to discuss with Yueyi again. The reason why I talked to Yuelun was because the old leader was in a coma before, and Yuelun was the priest of the city, so who would I talk to if I didn't talk to him? Now that the old leader has woken up, everything he talked about with Yuelun before can be talked to the old leader again, anyway, I think Yuelun shouldn't have told the leader what I talked about, so as not to let him pass the word, let's just say it ourselves. ”

After laughing, everyone pondered carefully, it seemed that this was indeed the case, and the reason made sense, so they put their minds at ease, since they were not the enemies of the entire Yueyi, it was still easy to protect Chen Jianquan.

They each prepared their weapons and followed Jian Chen to the place where they went last time, a group of people were in a neat formation, and in front of them were a few people who had been practicing hard for a long time, and they had experienced four battles in Xia City, and the confidence of winning each time made them a little arrogant.

The people of Yueyi naturally made a way, Chen Jian asked the people in front of him to stand on both sides, took the initiative to step forward, glanced at his eyes, and saw the leader of Yueyi who was in good spirits but had become old.

According to the old standards of this era, the old leader is about forty years old, and he is already worthy of an old word...... At least Chen Jian's maternal grandmother already had her first grandchildren when she was forty.

Yuemei, who hadn't seen her for a few days, stood behind her father, her face was full of joy, her face was no longer the vicissitudes of sorrow before, and she saw Chen Jian smiling at him from a distance and nodding her head.

At the same time as Chen Jian stepped forward, the old leader of Yueyi also got up, and when the two were three steps apart, they saluted each other, and exchanged a few words of greeting, the leader praised the strong and arrogant soldiers of Xia Cheng, Chen Jian immediately said after seeing a group of powerful clansmen standing behind the old leader: I brought people here because I was worried that someone would be unfavorable to the old leader.

The two had not communicated before, but after Chen Jian sent someone to visit and rejected Yuelun's invitation in the morning, they had already communicated. The old leader didn't think that Jian Chen and Yuelun were standing together, as the people of Xia Cheng feared.

After thanking Jian Chen, he asked Jian Chen to stand aside, it was still the venue a few days ago, but the atmosphere in the venue was completely different, the moon wheel was at the other end of the venue, and there were many clansmen around him, who were not as confident as before, and even a little cringe.

Especially when the old leader stood up to show that he had fully recovered in the background, the cheers of the people in the next Yueyi made Yuelun's face even more ugly, such cheers and support he needed to exchange the land and slaves of the green buttocks, and the old leader only needed his usual reputation to be enough.

Jian Chen secretly looked at a young man standing next to the old leader, it should be the rumored Moon Falcon, not very old, about twenty years old, the simple Kong Wu figure is a simple face blackened by the sun, with thick palms and powerful finger bones, and he is greeting Chen Jian with his chin.

After the cheers of everyone in the audience stopped, Jian Chen thought that it would be a stormy battle immediately, but he didn't expect that the first sentence he waited for was the old leader's apology to everyone.

"I heard that Green Butt died, and I heard that everyone was angry with Green Buttocks, and I was sick at the time as the chief, and I arranged for him to do the distribution of land and slaves. He did something unjust, and I, the leader, were wrong. I apologize to you, if I hadn't been sick a few years ago, maybe I wouldn't have been able to see clearly; If I had seen the person of the green buttocks clearly earlier, and replaced it with a fair person, everyone would not be angry. ”

Everyone in the audience thought that they had done the right thing, and they all felt that they had done a great thing for the city by killing the green buttocks, and at this time, when they heard that the leader not only did not criticize but apologized, they admired the leader even more in their hearts.

After the leader apologized, he sighed slowly: "Qing Butt did something wrong, and according to the laws of the clan, he should be exiled from the city. Indeed, his slaves and land should be given to everyone in the city who is not a slave and is not guilty. ”

"But...... I would like to say that the people of the Green Butt family were not in the city that day, and indeed I said it the day before, and they did leave the city according to my instructions to look for herbs, because I was told that as a result of divination, herbs would appear in a certain valley. So...... Mei was almost burned to death, but I'm afraid it wasn't Qingbuttocks who did it. ”

After a little coaxing, the whole scene suddenly became chaotic, and everyone in Yueyi was extremely shocked, and then a kind of moral uneasiness surged in their hearts.

Before this sentence, everyone thought that what they had done was extremely correct, because it was still about morality, and it was understandable and even needed to be praised for smashing the green buttocks to death, as for the slaves and land of the green buttocks, it was only done according to the law and not for their own interests, for the good of the city, at least psychologically they told themselves and they already believed it.

But as soon as the old leader said this, everyone knew that they had gone too far, even if the distribution of land was unfair, at most they would be expelled from the city instead of being stoned to death.

It's just that in an instant, everyone has changed from a perfect person who spontaneously angered for the future of the city to a selfish person who violated the law and executed the green buttocks for their own interests.

After hearing this, Jian Chen secretly patted his thigh and said secretly: "I still need to keep learning...... The ghost knows if you said this to Qing Buttocks, and besides, it didn't do you any good to kill your daughter, he would never do it...... You first apologized and stated that everyone divided the slave land of Qingbuttocks, and it was right that they didn't need to be recovered, and then said that Qingbuttocks' biggest crime was not established...... You're looking for someone to take the blame! ”

Sure enough, after the scene was chaotic for a while, a sentence finally came that made everyone below feel relieved, and a person shouted: "All this...... It's all the moon rings that lied to us! It was he who said that the old leader was in a coma and divined the murderer, and he also said that the person with the green buttocks was going to kill Yuemei that day! We're worried that someone like Qingbutt will hurt Yueyi if he becomes the leader! ”

"Apparently we were all deceived! It's the moon wheel that wants to kill the moon rose! ”

"Yes!"

As if to find a reasonable reason, no one wants to admit that they have done something wrong, and the vast majority of people want to put all the blame on one person: it is not us who is wrong, it is that person who is wrong, everything is the fault of that person, even if that person did not directly instruct us to do it, but if it were not for him, how could we do that?

Especially a person who cannot be justified will be the best person to take the blame for all crimes. As for why did the moon ring kill the moon rose behind it? At this point, there is no need to think about it, these people don't want to know the truth, they just want to know that it's not themselves who did wrong.

After shouting, the old leader sighed, and the people below were waiting for the final judgment: the law does not blame the people, but the morality blames the people, are we wrong? Or is that person wrong? Are we just incited innocents? Are we still perfect?

In the silence that followed the sigh, the old leader cried out, "I suppose I would have done the same if I had been among you, for it was for the city!" If Qingbutt really wants to kill Mei, then how terrible would it be for such a person to be the leader? ”

"That's right! That's what we think! ”

"We just thought that in order to be the leader, Qing Buttocks actually wanted to kill Yuemei! But we didn't expect it to be all fake, and we didn't know that you really sent the people with green buttocks out to look for herbs, Chief. ”

While everyone subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, the leader looked at the moon wheel with a stern face and asked sternly, "Wheel, what else do you have to say?" You know that I sent those people out of the green buttocks, why don't you tell everyone? If the result of divination is a big murderer, why would the moon falcon find herbs? The moon falcon didn't tell anyone after divination, why was he almost killed when he went to collect medicine? ”

Before Yuelun could answer, the leader looked at Jian Chen again and said, "Leader of Xia City, I heard about it that day thanks to you Mei Mei was not burned to death." On that day, it was Yuelun who went to greet you early, and he said that his people all went to look for Yuemei after knowing the news, so his people were not there when the city was closed and the number of people was counted. ”

Jian Chen nodded, these are all facts, there is nothing to deny.

Then, the leader asked, "May I ask Ji Xia, how many people followed the moon wheel to greet you that day?" Is it true that they are all on the left and right as he said? Or didn't there be so many people, some people actually went to the valley? (To be continued.) )
