Chapter Eighty-Three: The Road to the King
It is a very bad job to give bereavement to the families of the deceased, although those family members got the news early in the morning, and the people were also buried in peace, 6 Haoshan still felt the sadness in their hearts and the confusion about the future life, what they can do now is to comfort them with kind words, and then while giving the rich pension, while listening to the cries of those family members, finally 6 Haoshan left as if he had escaped.
It is inconvenient to go to the countryside, the sedan chair is too slow, it is better to ride a horse than to ride a horse, 6 Haoshan and Liu Jinzhu rode a horse and paced slowly in front, followed by four officials on horseback, they are protecting the safety of the county commander, seeing the county magistrate and the elder talking, one by one consciously backward to avoid suspicion.
"Brother Shan, your face is not very good, are you okay?" Liu Jinzhu asked cautiously.
"It's okay"
Liu Jinzhu hesitated for a moment, and said in a low voice: "Brother Shan cares about the dead officials, think about them are also quite pitiful, they did not die in the hands of prisoners, but died in the hands of their own people, it is really wronged, just now I saw their orphans and widows so pitiful, I almost wanted to tell the truth." β
"This can't be said" 6 Haoshan shook his head and said: "How can I say that they are also considered to sacrifice their lives for the country, in addition to having pensions, there are also preferential policies, once the truth is exposed, it will only cause more trouble, besides, pull the radish out of the mud, our ass is not clean, more than one thing is better than one less." β
"I didn't feel good when I saw the orphans and widows just now, Brother Shan, have we gone too far?"
6 Haoshan stared at Liu Jinzhu for a moment, and said meaningfully: "You can't bear it? β
"That, a little," Liu Jinzhu said with some slurry.
"Normal, if you don't have some feelings, it's no different from a beast, in fact, I'm a little unbearable, 6 Haoshan sighed, suddenly his voice changed, and he said indifferently: "There is a saying that the rich will help the world, and the poor will be good alone. 6 The old man was beaten to death by Li Xiangcai, and who presided over the main way? There are many injustices in the world, how many things can be managed? In this world, power is the truth, and if you live under other rules, you will only become a pawn of others, and if you want to live more freely and nourishingly, you can only become the maker of that rule. β
Liu Jinzhu listened to it one by one, 6 Haoshan's thinking was too advanced and too bold, so that it sounded a bit like something outside the clouds, and he vaguely understood what 6 Haoshan said, but he couldn't say it, so he had to smile bitterly and said: "Brother Shan, what you said is too profound, I can't understand it." β
"It's rare to be confused," 6 Haoshan suddenly smiled and said, "Just follow your own path." β
"Brother Shan, what is Dao?"
"The so-called Tao is a person's choice and the path he wants to take, and the road on earth is repeated, but the truth of life is different."
Liu Jinzhu asked curiously, "Brother Shan, what is your Tao?" β
6 Haoshan hesitated for a moment, and finally smiled indifferently, and said with a firm gaze: "I am from an ordinary background, no fame, no background, everything has to rely on myself, compared with others, I have already lost at the beginning, if I want to succeed like others, I must pay more effort and sweat than others, in order to succeed, I need to use a lot of means, so my Tao is not a royal way, not a virtuous way, but a good way." β
A will succeed in ten thousand bones, the peaceful and prosperous era of thousands of generations is built on the white bones, history is written by the victors, like Liu Bang of the Three Kingdoms, he is known as the emperor's uncle, in the name of orthodoxy to recruit the world's talents, should gather, Yuan Shao is even more amazing, the four worlds and three dukes, unique, an order, the Quartet responded; It is Cao Cao, and there is also the full support of the Cao family and the Xia Hou family, and the point is much higher than 6 Haoshan, if you want to achieve a great cause, you are destined to go more difficult than them.
"Brother Shan, I feel that what you said is very profound, and I can't understand it." Liu Jinzhu scratched his head and said with some embarrassment.
"Hahaha, if you don't understand, let's go, let's go and meet the squire who is above the top of the top for a while." 6 Haoshan said far away, laughed, patted the horse and galloped forward, Liu Jinzhu and the official hurriedly followed.
These words, 6 Haoshan has been holding in his heart, he didn't talk to outsiders, he was a little uncomfortable, anyway, Liu Jinzhu couldn't understand it, so he took it as a spur and cheer for himself, and when he said it, the whole person was a lot more comfortable
Changxing Village is located in the east of Jiangyou, located on the edge of the Peijiang River, surrounded by mountains and rivers, the scenery is beautiful, to say that the man of the year in Changxing Village, it is none other than the squire Zhou He.
As a squire, it is usually served by a person of high moral character in the township, who enjoys a high reputation among the people, or has good morality, or good reputation, or has literary talents, but Zhou He does not occupy the position of the squire for more than ten years, relying on his cousin who works in the Huanyi Bureau, and preaches at every turn with the fact that he knows the things in the palace, and bluffs the villagers.
Zhou He is very satisfied with his name, the crane is an auspicious, elegant bird, the status of the bird is very high, named crane, secretly has the meaning of standing out from the chicken, but the people in the village secretly made fun of him is not a character to stand out from the chicken, but a stingy stand out from the chicken.
The stingy Cheng dΓΉ can be described in one sentence: I was anxious halfway, and I had to endure it, and I was willing to withdraw when I returned to my own field, and I was usually stingy and stingy, and I was an iron rooster in the eyes of the villagers, and I didn't dial it with one hand, but Zhou He didn't think so, but was complacent, in his words, he had saved a lot of family business.
On this day, Zhou He made tea in the hall and drank, the tea was brewed three times, like boiled water without a little tea taste, but he was still reluctant to add new tea, thinking that he had saved a few pennies, his mood became happy again, and he hummed a small tune while drinking, and the boiled water made him drink the taste of Longjing.
"Master, master, it's not good." Zhou He was thinking about how to put more money out, and when he made a windfall in this disaster year, a subordinate ran in in a panic.
Zhou He glared at him a little unhappily, and said with a displeased face: "What's the matter, so urgent?" β
"Master, the county magistrate is waiting outside the door."
The prefectural magistrate is here? Zhou Heleng paused for a moment, and immediately came to his senses: Not good, this county order is aimed at his most precious Gu Yan.
This ancient inkstone was sent by the cousin of the eunuch in the palace, and he said that it was still rewarded by the emperor, and after being brought out of the palace, he asked someone to bring it to himself, Zhou He liked it very much, this ancient inkstone was a thing in the palace, I don't know how much luxury it occupied, when he received the letter, Zhou He was still a poor egg, but relying on the three hundred taels of silver sent together with the letter and the ancient inkstone, he worked hard and slowly began to trace, Zhou He felt that it was the ancient inkstone that brought blessings to himself, although there were few people who came to ask for it, and the price was higher than the other, but Zhou He still resolutely refused.
That thing that is stained with luxury will be passed on, maybe the Zhou family will come out with the king and the general, although the silver is very attractive, but with the blessing, are you afraid that you won't be able to earn silver?
Seeing the panicked look on his subordinates' faces, Zhou He was suddenly unhappy, and said with a displeased face: "Isn't it just a seven-grade county order?" What are you afraid of, master, I still have a cousin in the palace, looking at your panicked appearance, people will see that I have no way to discipline the Zhou Mansion. β
"Yes, the master is right." The subordinate responded in his mouth, but he slandered in his heart: There is no fame, and he dares to claim to be a mansion in this house, and he is not afraid of making people laugh when he says it, as for the eunuch cousin, it sounds very majestic, but in fact it is just a joke in other people's mouths, only he feels good.
After reprimanding his subordinates, Zhou He lazily picked up the teacup again, and said lightly: "Okay, you just said that this master is infected with the wind cold, and it is inconvenient to meet guests, and when the wind and cold are better, go to the county government to ask him for guilt." β
"But the master" the man reminded in a low voice: "This time it is the county official, the old man is really here." β
"Isn't it just a small prefectural order?" Zhou He said with a nonchalant face: "What's the fuss, even if the prefect comes, I'm not afraid, this time they came, ten of them want my Gu Yan, what are you going to see him for, I don't know how to refuse, it's better to give him a hint, let him die of this heart, if he lets him in, he has to be entertained with wine and fruits, if he eats here, he has to go to Zhangluo, and he is simply gone." β
"Sir, this"
"What the hell, don't you have ears? You just do what I say. Zhou He drank tea by himself, and muttered: "I don't know how expensive firewood and rice are not at home, nine of the ten rich people rely on saving, small and small, big and big, if you spend money like running water, sooner or later there will be a day to sit and eat the sky, and it will cost a lot to let the surname 6 come in." β
The next person was trained by Zhou He, and he was so frightened that he hit a spirit, and hurriedly retreated while responding, no way, his own owner was stingy and stingy, the salary was originally small, and the reward was even more of a dream, if he found a way to deduct his salary, it would be miserable.
Soon, 6 Haoshan, who stood at the door and waited for a while, got a depressing answer: Zhou He was infected with typhoid fever and could not see each other now, and said that he would not go to the county office to make amends for his sins until he was cured.
6 Haoshan was calm, but Liu Jinzhu on the side was so angry that his face turned red, and when he heard this, he grabbed the clothes on the man's chest with one hand and said: "Bold, it was fine a few days ago, why did you suddenly get typhoid fever, our eldest master came to the door in person, how dare you do this?" β
"Big, big brother, we're just subordinates, just communicate, and the rest is none of my business." was frightened by Liu Jinzhu, and then looked at the four fierce-faced officials, who were already so frightened that they were incoherent.
"My lord, this guy is so rampant, we smashed this door"
"That is, the adult is the honor of a county, and he can't enter this small door?"
"I don't know how to lift, my lord, the villain will teach him a lesson for you."
Not only Liu Jinzhu was angry, but even the officials who followed him were not lightly angry, and slapped the county magistrate's face, it was not a slap in the face of everyone, and a small squire dared to be so rampant, it was simply a rebellion.
"Stop" 6 Haoshan suddenly said: "Let's go." β
