"It's on fire! It's on fire! It's on fire......"

Suddenly! Outside the house, the cry of a half-grown boy could be heard.

"Woooooo Then! A woman's cry came: "My house! My house! Woooooo My house! ……”

At that time, most of the houses were thatched houses, and as long as the fire was burning, it was difficult to extinguish.

Lao Tzu is preaching, and he is talking about a critical moment.

When they heard that there was a fire, they all ran out.

Saw! The fire outside the house was blazing, and the side of the room was on fire. The wing room was upwind, and the fire took advantage of the wind to rush over at once. In just a few breaths, the whole house was on fire.

Seeing the raging fire, everyone was deterred, and they could only watch the fire engulf the entire house.

"My house! My house! Woooooo My house! ……”

The hostess fell to the ground and began to cry.

Looking at the burned house, Lao Tzu also grinned bitterly and looked like he was crying bitterly.

In the firelight, his face turned red.

In this era of backward productivity, it takes considerable financial resources to build a house like this. Seriously! It's not an ordinary person, and you may not be able to build a house like this in your lifetime. It normally takes several generations to build a house like this. Or! You have a certain popularity, and someone is willing to help you. Or! It was a windfall. Or! You're an official......

No! Ordinary officials don't live in such houses. They usually live in stone and timber houses. Tall timber pillars and beams were used to build the perimeter with stones, and it was difficult for the fire to reach the roof.

No doubt! This fire was not started for no reason, it was deliberately set by someone.

Although it is a thatched house, the walls below are usually covered with mud, so it is not easy to burn up. Someone must have lit a torch and threw it on the roof. And! Not to set a place on fire. Otherwise! The fire was not so fast.

In those who have the conditions, the walls are all made of mud and pressed. It's just that! Poor people build houses in order to save costs, and the houses are low.

"What howl? Howl! Do you howl again? ......" The man ran over and beat his wife to stop him from crying.

"Burn it, burn it! If Chu State doesn't let me pass, I'll do the opposite! I'm fighting with their government! ”

The man couldn't bear to beat his wife, so he turned around and ran to the dark place.

"Come back! Come back! Woooooo What if you don't want to live, me and the baby! Woo woo woo ...... "The woman cried as she chased after her.

"Daddy!" A little boy of fourteen or fifteen years old called out to his father, picked up a stick, and drove him out.

"Come back! Give me all back! Lao Tzu shouted into the darkness.

"Come back! Lao Tzu asked you to come back! ”

"Zhang Gong! Come back! ”

"Impulsive, what, you?"

Everyone rushed out of the courtyard and shouted into the darkness.

When Zhang Gong heard the woman and his son coming, he had to resist his impulse and stood still. When the wife and son came, the family hugged and cried.

Lao Tzu and others came over, looking at the family, and they couldn't help it.

If they hadn't chosen their home for the sermon, their family wouldn't have suffered such a great disaster.

The destruction of a home is a painful blow to anyone. It could even be said that it was a devastating blow.

In this troubled world, it is really not easy to rebuild a home.

The average poor person's home has only a roof and no walls. It can't be called a house, it can only be called a "shed". Even if there is a wall, it is woven with mud, grass, and branches. Savagery is coming, the kind that can be broken with one head.

"We'll help you get the house back up! I'm sorry! It's all because of me! Chu State didn't let me preach, which caused such consequences! I will do my best to compensate you for your losses! Lao Tzu persuaded.

"I'm sorry! It's me who is bad! I have set the place of my sermon in your home, and I am willing to help you in the best of my ability! I won't let you sleep in the wild! The inviter also stepped forward and said.

"Zhang Gong! Feel relieved! We don't have the money, but we have the heart! We're here to help! They have the money to pay, I don't have the money and I don't have the money! What I have is strength! ”

"Don't worry! Zhang Gong! You are innocent! It's us who hurt you! So! We're here to help! ”

"Nope! Thank you! Thank you! Zhang Gong let go of his hug, arched his hand towards everyone in the dark, and said, "Listen to Lao Tzu's words!" I benefited a lot! I accept Lao Tzu's way! I'm willing to learn! Today! Just pay the tuition! I'm awake! I understand what it means to be human! Whining! ”

Zhang Gong said so, but his heart still couldn't be completely changed for a while.

"I don't want how to have a good house, just have a house to live in! I don't want too much furniture, just have a place to put it. I don't ask for much food to spare, just enough to eat. I don't need much property, my son is not a fool, he can live on his own. So! I can travel light! Chu! I'm not afraid of you! Ten breeds of dogs! I you! If you don't let me live, I'll let you die before I do! ……”

After listening to Lao Tzu's Tao and listening to Lao Tzu's explanation, Zhang Gong no longer resented King Chu Ling, the king of Chu State. King Chu Ling is hateful, but his ministers and lackeys are even more hateful!

Imagine! If King Chu Ling's subordinates didn't have those lackeys, he would be alone and mixed up with wool?

So! The officials sent to manage the state of Chen are hateful! These people relied on the state of Chu and the power given by the state of Chu, so they dared to do anything wrong on the land of the state of Chen.

So! If you want to save Chen Guo, you have to kill all these local officials who are fighting for the tiger!

Good officials are let go, and bad officials who act for the tiger, especially "traitors", will be killed.

"Zhang Gong! It's not necessarily the officials who should be killed. Some people become officials, just to eat and live better than others. And the real evildoers are those who do it! For example! Tonight! Whoever sets the fire, they are the wicked! Lao Tzu persuaded.

"Yes, yes, yes! This kind of person has no moral bottom line, they will do whatever others tell them to do, and they are the root cause of social chaos. ”

"Yes, yes! There are many people who are officials, and they just eat together, in order to get a good fortune and live a superior life than others. But! They have no ill will towards others. And those who have malice towards others and carry out malice are bad officials. ”

"What does the State of Chu rely on to control our State of Chen? It's up to those scoundrels in our Chen Guozhong! They have no moral bottom line, as long as they give money, let them do whatever they want! This kind of person should be killed, and ...... in order to correct the social atmosphere"

"Whoosh!"

That's it! A dark arrow was fired.

"Lao Tzu! Be careful! ”

A man screamed and pounced on Lao Tzu.

"Plop!"

Both fell at the same time.

With a "whew", a sharp arrow flew past where Lao Tzu stood.
