Chapter 732: There is a court, but there is no justice

Su ~ An ordinary house in the capital city of Su ~ Prefecture, two middle-aged people wearing official cloaks entered the courtyard, shrunk their hands and stomped their feet, and read in their mouths How is this Jiangnan so colder than Taiwan-

"Yo, Zhu County Master Du County ...... Wait a while, the little one will go to Zhang Luo tea! Yes, this winter day in Jiangnan is not as cold as Taiwan! It's quite out of the blue, the rental price of Longmen is too expensive, so it's hard to rent a house here......"

The steward chattered and welcomed the two into the wing, and also helped the half-crooked vertical plaque at the door, which read: "Fu ~ Build the Jiangnan Association of Taiwan Prefecture".

The so-called "guild" of Yinghua has too broad meaning, that is, a "public institution" that everyone works together to do things, only seeks to maintain, not to make profits, and if it wants to make a profit, it must be called a company. The most common is the government, the Federation of Industry and Commerce and the court together in the important place to run a guest house, business, officials, can enjoy convenience, this is the Taiwan government and industry and commerce based in the south of the Yangtze River club.

There are many "guilds" of county governments in Yingtianfu, and Longmen is even more lively, and some remote county governments are unable to gain a foothold in Longmen because of their poor financial resources, so they go to Susong to build guilds. Listening to the greeting of the steward, these two people turned out to be the two magistrates of Taiwan Prefecture.

Hot tea under the abdomen, flushed on the face, the two of them seemed to come to life.

Du Junying, the governor of Chiayi, Taiwan, complained: "The Japanese are also robbing our deerskin business, and the prefect will not nag the governor to let the imperial court raise the customs tariff of the goods." The price has fallen, and those fathers and elders in the county still have to drown me alive with spit!? ”

Zhu Yigui, the magistrate of Fengshan, smiled bitterly: "The authority of the customs tariff is in the hands of the Ji Si, and it is useless to find the prefect or even soup tofu." Don't forget that when we came to Jiangnan, the main thing was to compete with Qu Shangshu of the Ministry of Culture and Culture for the money, which was tens of thousands of taels, and we ...... in Fengshan County, Chiayi."

As he was talking, a middle-aged Confucian scholar entered the courtyard with a few retinues, but it was Yang Wenqi, the governor of Fu~Jian, the son-in-law of the emperor's old descendant Xiang Huailiang, and the younger brother of Yang Junli, the current governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi. The two hurriedly got up and bowed, Yang Wenqi bowed back, and greeted with a warm face: "Zhu Wangye, Du Dashuai, the two of you actually came to Jiangnan to join in the fun." ”

In the fourth year of the Holy Road, Yinghua received blessings ~ built, and Taiwan was also included in the bag, Zhu Yigui, who set up the title of king, and Du Junying, who proclaimed himself generalissimo, were forced to bow to Yinghua because of the general trend. Each person was divided into a county, gathered their respective subordinates, and An Ansheng lived his own small life.

Six or seven years have passed in a blink of an eye, and the imperial court has infiltrated from various channels such as agriculture, industry, commerce, and medical education, and has been deliberately appeasing Zhu Du and the others, and since they were re-elected as the magistrate of the county, the people no longer have the mind to chase who will do big things, and they began to think back and forth between the "national endowment", "provincial endowment", "government endowment" and "county endowment" like the people in other places, and strive for their own benefits. The two of them were originally anti-king and anti-handsome, but now they are also pushed by the subordinates, and they live a painful and happy life for all the Yinghua Zhi~ counties.

The Anglo-Chinese official system is different from that of the Ming and Qing dynasties, although the governor, the prefect and the prefect have a subordinate relationship, they are not completely overarching and corresponding, and the etiquette between them is not so strict, and Yang Wenqi called the two of them a very taboo nickname, but it was an act of affection.

After some politeness, Zhu Du and the others began to complain, "Our Taiwan government is a remote place, and Fengshan in Chiayi is even more ...... Poor......"

Yang Wenqi smiled and listened to the two of them's nagging, he originally came to Jiangnan to visit the Fujian County Government Guild to solve the worries of the local government and industry and commerce.

However, this smile is also a false story, and the grievances of the two did not go to their hearts, the two counties of Fengshan in Chiayi are different from other places, and they are almost the private territory of Zhu Du and the others, although there are grassroots government frames, and the imperial court decree is brushed, the two of them can no longer call for wind and rain in the county, but from Taiwan to Fujian ~ Jian Province, they still don't regard these two counties as their own people. To read the latest chapter of this book, please go to Baidu to search:..., after perfunctory two, Yang Wenqi pulled his feet and walked towards another wing, where life is boiling, it is the industrial and commercial affairs of the Taiwan government, he naturally cares more about these people.

When Zhu Yigui and Du Junying sat down again, their hearts were like the teacups in their hands, turning from hot to cold.

Du Junying said slightly bitterly: "Lord Wang...... After all, we are not to be regarded as our own people. ”

Zhu Yigui suppressed his thoughts, opened the newspaper, and spoke for Yang Wenqi: "Let's put the county too tight, and we don't blame the court." ”

Du Junying suddenly said in a cold tone: "Lord Wang, do you really think you are a little magistrate?" Back then, we got up together and wanted to seek justice for the people of the world, but we threw it away? Rajah...... Are you really willing!? ”

The corners of Zhu Yigui's eyes jumped, and he said in a low voice: "Are you still thinking nonsense?" With this court seeking justice, we have to let Xian! I'm willing...... I'm willing! ”

Du Junying was bored for a while, and said unconvinced: "How can there be a fair court in the world!?" If there is a court on the head, there is injustice! ”

Zhu Yigui didn't speak for a long time, quietly finished reading the newspaper, and then looked at the roof beam with his eyes, and the brilliance rose in his pupils: "Du Shuai, you are right, no matter how good the court is, there is injustice, just like we are in charge of the two counties, don't we also protect the relatives and friends of the clansmen on weekdays, and don't frown when we harm the interests of other small people for their benefit?" ”

"You're right...... I'm unwilling, I'm only forty years old, the world is so big, of course I want to do a big career! But in the eyes of the imperial court, we have never been able to gain trust, and this county is the top of the sky. ”

Du Junying's breathing was also heavy, and she gritted her teeth and said, "If we work hard in the county, we can also ...... It's really not good, and it will be done to pull it to Nanzhou to rub out the land and establish a country! ”

Zhu Yigui snorted him: "What do you think!?" Do you still think we are still the prince or the handsome? Do you believe it, if you go and raise your arms again, the old guy who got into trouble with you back then, there will never be more than three out of ten who can respond to you? Even if our two counties can move, with only a hundred thousand people, a thousand gray clothes in Penghu can wipe us out. Still pulling to Nanzhou? How many times have those companies in Nanzhou gone around in Taiwan, how many people are willing to go? In the end, didn't you still catch all the natives? ”

Du Junying stopped talking, but her eyes were rolling, obviously thinking seriously about the "great cause".

But I heard Zhu Yigui say: "What you just said reminded me that the emperor opened a new world, and the way of the world today is no longer the same as before." In this world, in whose hands is the power? In the hands of our officials? We can't understand it ourselves, the official has to work for the industry and commerce, for the peasants, and has to fight with those court affairs, what is the governor of the county prefect, in fact, he is a gong to persuade things, and really let the court, let the emperor pay attention to the movement, not in the official mansion, in the east and west courtyards, in the people......"

Thinking that Yang Wenqi had been so-so and perfunctory, and went to the courtyard and industry and commerce in the side room with one mind, Du Junying also nodded depressedly.

Zhu Yigui patted the newspaper: "Justice, you said it well, there is no justice if there is a court!" Justice is in the people, not in the court. This is fair...... That's where I can make a difference. ”

Du Junying turned his head sideways to read the newspaper, and there was the "Jiangnan Times" published by Longmen, the first page of which was titled "Cao Gang's petition for additional steps, and Luojiao's clamor turned out to be evil", while the other was Lingnan Old Newspaper "Righteousness", and the first page headline was "The Son of Heaven is majestic at his feet, and there is a lot of blood outside the camp gate".

The two newspapers said one thing, the Cao Bang boatmen of the shipping company that took over Cao Yun felt that the official foot money was too low, and gathered in Longmen to petition, I don't know whether it was because Luan was driving in Longmen, the government reacted too much, or because there was a long church in Jiangnan such as Luo Jiao behind the Cao Gang, and the two parties had a physical conflict and injured more than ten people.

The two newspapers have different positions and have their own favorites, but Du Junying didn't see what it had to do with what Zhu Yigui said about "showing off his talents". ..., "The hearts of the people, the feelings of the people, the voices of the people, the handsome, the affairs of our county court are all clansmen and villagers, and I don't feel anything." But the affairs of the courts in other counties are not ordinary, and when we meet the affairs of the government and the provincial courts, we have to bow our hands. When it comes to the affairs of the National Court of the East and West Academies, those masters simply think that we are small people, and they are official masters......"

The more Zhu Yigui thought about it, the more transparent he became, and his words became deeper.

"Let's just say that this matter, the government dealt with it, and didn't dare to label these Cao gangs as a cult, is it the emperor's benevolence and the court's mercy? No, it's the people's voice, there are scholars, and there are the members of the National Academy in Jiangnan to seek justice for them! The emperor set up a big chess game, let everyone enter the game, and determine the world with the great benefits of the world, so that everyone can speak, even if they are pawns, they must have their own steps to go......"

Between the words, Zhu Yigui seemed to have strengthened his determination: "Since there is such a game of chess, the pawn can also move on his own, I, Zhu Yigui, why can't I become the pawn who crosses the river and arch the general step by step?" ”

Du Junying listened blankly, he still didn't understand: "Lord Wang, what are your plans?" ”

Zhu Yigui clenched his fists and said: "I'll write a rhetoric!" Don't know the county anymore, Dashuai, this year's Fu ~ Jianxuan National Academy, you have to help me up! Even if you don't choose to enter the national hospital, it's good to enter the provincial hospital first. ”

Du Junying frowned: "Courtyard affairs? Those people who only know how to be picky, complain, and put on a stand in front of the government, and mix with them? ”

Zhu Yigui sneered: "The reason why they are wasted is because they don't know that they have the weapon that can threaten this court the most in their hands, and that is justice!" ”

Longmen, Kong Xingyu's residence, a group of short-beaten Mai people and a group of Confucian scholars are facing each other, talking loudly, arguing like the pre-Qin period. Kong Xingyu sat on one side, looking left and right, looking very confused.

"The relationship between heaven and man is based on justice! There is no justice, everyone is self-interested and harmful! Fairness and benevolence, this is the foundation of our Moshe and Confucianism! ”

"The love that you talk about in the Moshe Society is one step closer than everyone else, where should I put my Confucian ethics? Benevolence, people, lost people's morality, there is no private way, how can we talk about justice? It's impossible for our two families to be together! ”

"Mr. Kong is benevolent, not pure Confucian Confucianism. Nowadays, the industrial and commercial masses are rising, no one speaks for the crops, the Moshe Society is committed to helping the weak, and Confucianism is aiming to level the world. ”

"Only judge justice by strength and weakness, where is the principle of heaven? The world is based on reason, not a pool of stagnant water, we learn to help reason, not to help the weak! ”

On one side is the Moshe people, and on the other side is the Renxue people under Kong Xingyu, and they are inextricably fighting, but the purpose of the quarrel is to seek the unity of the two factions.

But to this point, the gap between the two parties is too big, and there is no way to get together, a short Mai man got up and saluted to Kong Xingyu regretfully: "Mr. Kong, your Renxue is almost a party of the Heavenly Dao, even so, you should show the foundation, why bother to put on the clothes of Renru?" ”

He stood tall, although his clothes were simple, he had a proud spirit of heaven and earth, his eyes were ethereal, and he seemed to be half-blind, but this did not hinder the strength of his sonorous words: "No matter how good the Taoist Party is, there will always be suffering in the world!" No matter how benevolent the imperial court is, it is inevitable that the township will starve. We, the Mo Society, don't ask about the truth behind the world, just the justice we see in our eyes......"

"What do we see? Even in the first good places such as Huangpu, there are beggars who have fallen to the road, and under the rule of Qing officials praised by all the people, there are also evil officials who oppress the good people. Not to mention, the industry and commerce are prosperous, the crops are injured, the town is carrying goods and laughing, and the countryside is crying! ”

"Is it good for everyone to be prosperous? The women of the country love pearls, and one grain is the life span of the pearl people. Annan Coal eats shark fin, and a pound of shark fin is a life for fishermen in Qiongzhou. One foot of green silk is cheap, and the weaver weaves a thousand feet a month, but the income is less than a hundred feet......"..., "Fair! We people in the Mo Society did not see justice, but saw that in this world, the poor are getting poorer and the rich are getting richer! ”

"Excuse me, Mr. Kong, what is the truth in your benevolent teaching? Ask Mr. Kong, for whom do you want to learn benevolence? Just for the reason? The truth must be held in the hands of people, how can the truth that is not spoken to others be learned!? ”

This forty-year-old Mai man said a word, even Kong Xingyu couldn't resist it, suppressed the urge to wipe sweat, Kong Xingyu sighed: "Brother neighbor, there are always slight flaws in the white jade, you can always see spots in the tube, you can learn and seek the Tao, you are all thinking about the world, how can you be bound to ......"

But the man shook his head and said, "I can't see the world, so I only see a spot, and since the spot is there, I ask for justice!" ”

The two had nothing to say, and when the man turned around and left, Kong Xingyu shook his head and sighed deeply: "It is said that Wang Shishen is blind, I think he sees the world most clearly, but what justice...... In the world, there has never been, and cannot be, the justice they want. ”

In the private school of Luodian Huangjia Village, hundreds of people gathered together, and the smoke was filled, and they listened to Mi Wuniang singing like a fairy sound, which was reciting the treasure scroll.

After the treasure scroll was recited, hundreds of incense sticks were held, and in the low drink of Mi Wu Niang, the villagers of Huangjia Village bowed to the "throne" non-stop.

"The old mother on the first floor bows three times and knocks ......"

"The second-floor mother bows three times and knocks three times......"

"The lifeless mother bows nine times and knocks ......"

Licheng, Mi Wuniang sat on the lotus seat of the Holy Aunt, which was actually a bookcase wrapped around a circle of fluffy leaves, she looked down at this group of new members, her heart was full of a sense of accomplishment, and she finally got off to a good start.

"There is a court in the world, but there is no justice in the world......"

She said in a deep voice, with her words, and the fact that demons have been rampant in the village these days, the experience of "killing demons with force", and the concept that the court is equal to demons, condensed and condensed.

"Serving the childless mother, avoiding the calamity of the red sun, and returning to the vacuum hometown, we have to devote ourselves to the public and no longer hide our selfishness. People are mothers, and everyone is brothers, this is the justice of Bailian......"

As Mi Wuniang's familiar words sounded, more than a dozen Dharma protectors patrolled the parishioners, and accepted the silver money and field deeds offered by the parishioners one by one.

"The old mother passed down the scriptures, I am the recipient, I am the White Lotus Holy Aunt, when I invite the old mother, it is the old mother's decree...... And if you are sincere, if you are meritorious, you will naturally be able to receive the job, and you will be closer to the old mother. ”

Mi Wuniang looked at the front row, sealed the lead and incense head one by one, and when she pointed to Xu San, she accentuated her tone: "Xu San, you are here to be the head of Huangjia Village." ”

Xu Sanxi kowtowed to Mi Wuniang.

"I'm the head of the hall!"

After a long time, out of the incense altar, Xu San was full of joy, and he felt that his soul had been firmly relied on, and he was not afraid of anything. Of course, what follows is not worth making a fuss about, nor can it be half-hearted.

"Wang Heizi, Gu Long Legs...... Destroy every family! They don't even want to give their family wealth, they are all blinded by demons and can't keep it! ”

said this to the dozen or so strong men behind him, and when he said "can't stay", his teeth gritted loudly.

Just as she was about to set off, the little girl came out of the incense altar, and Xu San subconsciously called the big girl.

Daughter Xu Fudi raised her eyebrows and said unhappily: "Xu Tangtou, have you forgotten the scriptures you read under your mother?" You're no longer my father, I'm now a disciple of the Holy Aunt, and you still don't salute!? ”

Xu San's heart trembled slightly, looking at his daughter's deliberately cold face, he felt extremely unfamiliar, but in an instant, the scriptures under the incense altar came to his heart, and he felt that the idea of treating his daughter as a daughter was also extremely unfamiliar.

The status of the disciple of the Holy Aunt is superb, even the Dharma protectors around the Holy Aunt have to bow three times, and a small leader like him has to kneel and bow three times when he is a regular leader.

He smiled, knelt down on his knees, kowtowed to his daughter and said, "Little Holy Aunt is above, please accept the entrance of the hall to worship Trinity......"
