Zhou Xiaocao said: "Do you know the Tao? Only if it is not perfect, it is truly complete. The sage has a saying, nothing is absolutely good, and no person is perfect. It is impossible for one person to do everything to the satisfaction of everyone. Even this heavenly god and Buddha can't do it. I Ching said above, in the ninth five, the flying dragon is in the sky, and it is beneficial to see the adult; On the ninth, Kang Long has regrets. What do you regret about it? Because he came out strong. Even the emperor only dared to call it the Ninth Five-Year Plan, but did not dare to say that it was the Ninth Five-Year Plan, which shows that the merit is complete, and it is ultimately an unattainable thing. ”

Xianglanjun shook her head: "I think what the master said tonight is a bit profound, and I don't understand it." ”

Zhou Xiaocao said: "Do you feel that it is very different from the previous me who didn't care about everything?" ”

Xianglanjun said: "Maybe. Anyway, I think the state of the master today is something I didn't feel before. ”

Zhou Xiaocao sighed and said: "In the past, I was just nesting in that small place in Cangzhou, and the biggest person I saw was Xie Bingzhou, the Ximen official who sold medicine, and Boss Zhu of Zhiyifang, as well as my father-in-law. At that time, I felt that the game life was the greatest joy, and that everything didn't have to be too serious. But creation makes people! Because he inadvertently cured the serious illness of the crown prince of the dynasty, he made Liu Minghui, the little prince who was originally a friend, turn against him, and his house was raided overnight, and then he was calculated by the old emperor Liu Zhengyuan, and finally got to this point. Master, I'm miserable! ”

Xianglanjun smiled and said, "I don't even believe what the master said, right?" The lord is now reused by the emperor. It can be described as the uncrowned king. The reason why the first emperor calculated you was not because you had the qualifications to be used by him? There is an emperor covering you. Where can't you go under the whole world? ”

Zhou Xiaocao said: "You still don't understand! The emperor trusts me. It's for me to give him his life, and he's not stupid! Just like this time, I risked my life to get this kind of credit. But the credit has to be credited to him, because I am not an official and cannot get this credit. In the future, no matter how much credit I make, because of this identity, I can only be the one who hides behind the scenes. All the scenery. All the praise will be the emperor's. ”

Xianglanjun's eyes blinked, and then asked seriously: "Master, if you have an opportunity to stand in front and accept this supreme glory, will you grasp it?" ”

Zhou Xiaocao let out a long breath and said, "No! ”

After hearing Zhou Xiaocao's words, Xianglanjun was completely relieved. If Zhou Xiaocao is obsessed with fame and fortune. That kind of man is not what she likes.

Zhou Xiaocao continued: "Among the world, the emperor is the biggest. If I choose to be an official, I will have too much credit in the future. When the merit is high, it will be the time when there will be no place to die. And if I am willing to be the person behind the scenes, I will give all the credit to the emperor. So. I have actually gotten more than half of the power in this world. And you don't have to worry about getting killed. As long as I don't want to rebel, then the first case. You must not go. ”

Seeing the starry expression in Xianglanjun's eyes, Zhou Xiaocao secretly snickered, and then said, "Okay, now it's back to the question of why the moon is not round." The moon has to go through the cycle of cloudy and sunny circles every month, and a month of waiting, just for the reunion of that day, this is the beauty of the full moon; If the moon is full every day, just like the sun, will it still make countless people worry about it and write poems for it? People praise saints because they are unborn; People praise beautiful women because of their scarcity; In the same way, people love the moon precisely because of its cloudiness and sunshine. Sometimes, a lack is also a kind of beauty. This kind of height of thought, you can't reach. Hehe, let's look forward to tomorrow's Kangbo beheading conference. I think it should be a situation where 10,000 people are empty. ”

When the two of them returned to the bonfire party, the party had come to an end. Nearly a third of the people were very drunk, and some sang loudly, although not very good, but there were some who echoed the voice. In this situation, the quality of the song itself is actually not important.

Zhou Xiaocao didn't disturb everyone's interest, went into his room, and fell asleep.

Early the next morning, Zhou Xiaocao ordered Kang Boquan to be escorted to Nanshi, where there was an intersection and a place for disposing of prisoners. There is also a name for it, which is called "abandoned market". Before three o'clock in the afternoon, as Zhou Xiaocao thought, it was already crowded. For so many years, how well Kang Boquan has done as a parent official here, the people here have the most right to speak. In the past, because of Kang Boquan's strong relationship in Beijing, people dared to be angry but did not dare to speak; Now that he is dying, those who have enmity with him have come with their families and mouths, and see how their great enemies have died. What's more, there are also those big families who were abducted by him, as well as those women in the family who were collected by him into the secret "color cave", and they hate it even more.

The reason why the prisoner is beheaded at 3 o'clock in the afternoon is because this time of the day is the most prosperous time of the day, and it is said that the prisoner who is executed at this time will not be able to live forever and will be tortured in the eighteen layers of hell.

It's early summer, and the trees on both sides of the street are overgrown, and there is rubbish on the ground such as vegetable leaves from the morning market. On the side of the crossroads, there was a gallows, and the executioner with the devil's head knife was already standing with his belly bare. All this made Zhou Xiaocao feel an inexplicable excitement. It was the first time he had really seen the execution, not to mention that the executor was still himself.

Kang Boquan's spirit was hit hard, and he didn't eat for a day and a night, so he was groggy and couldn't open his eyes. He knelt there, his hair unkempt and some dried weeds. There is a wooden sign inserted on the back, on which is written a big word "chop", circled by a red circle, and a big cross is drawn.

Glancing at the dazzling sunlight with a halo, Zhou Xiaocao let out a long yawn and said, "Come on, water him!" ”

Someone brought a bucket of cold water over and poured it on Kang Boquan's head. The sudden cold sensation made him wake up suddenly. Kang Boquan looked around, saw the bustling crowd around him, and finally understood what he was trying to do.

Kang Boquan shouted loudly: "Zhou Xiaocao! If you really dare to kill me, Lord Zhong will definitely not give up! ”

Zhou Xiaocao smiled: "This, don't bother Your Excellency." You should think about it, when you get to the capital city of the underworld, how to face the punishment of the judge of Hades. ”

Kang Boquan couldn't scare him when he saw the name of moving out of the name of Prince Zhong, so he had to make another move: "I have a lot of money, a lot of money, if you want to release me, I will give it to you, give it all to you!" ”

Zhou Xiaocao said: "Isn't it a money cave!" I've got all the money out there. ”

"No, no, and, yes! I have an even bigger treasure, and the money in it is more than ten times as much as in the money cave! If you let me go, I'll tell you where! ”

Zhou Xiaocao said: "You, you can't tell a lie." If you say there's a smaller life-saving treasure, I'll believe it; Ten times the size of the money hole? How can it be? How much is the annual endowment in Xingyang, and your money cave is already quite rich, where can you build a bigger treasure house? It's almost time, executioner, get ready for execution! ”

With a throw of his hand, a token with the word "chop" written on it was thrown to the ground, the executioner's eyes widened, he took a sip of wine, sprayed it on the ghost head knife, and then slashed it down according to Kang Boquan's neck!

Under the sun, a big head hit the ground and rolled on the ground a few times before it stopped. And Kang Boquan's body was still kneeling there, motionless.

Suddenly, I don't know who was the first to rush forward, cut off a piece of meat on Kang Boquan's body with a knife, and then a group of people rushed up, and Kang Boquan's body was divided into pieces.

Zhou Xiaocao shook his head secretly, and said in his heart that this guy has done all the bad things, which can be regarded as retribution.

Suddenly, a figure attracted Zhou Xiaocao's attention. This person was wearing a large cloak, although he was also crowded together with the crowd, but his direction was not Kang Boquan's body.

Well, Kang Boquan's head! Sure enough, this person went for Kang Boquan's head, and he wanted to take Kang Boquan's head!

"Catch him!"

Zhou Xiaocao shouted, and he also rushed out. (To be continued......)
