Chapter Fifty-Six: Guilty

A word to wake up the dreamer!

For a long time, the gentlemen in the Confucian Garden believed that the Confucian Garden was an isolated paradise and a fairyland on earth. No matter how chaotic the outside world is, how the flames of war are raging, it has nothing to do with Confucianism.

Even, there are several gentlemen who believe that the Confucian Garden should not care about any world affairs, and should not care about the harmonious coexistence of people, demons, and demons, so let them fight and kill, anyway, it doesn't matter what happened to the Confucian Garden.

As long as the Confucian Garden is still there, as long as the academy is still there, even if the world is turned upside down, it doesn't matter.

It wasn't until they heard Mr. Seventy-One's words just now that everyone suddenly realized that the Confucian Garden was already in danger and could be destroyed at any time.

In fact, Mr. Seventy-One didn't understand these things before. If it weren't for the desperation of Mr. Seventy-Two this time, he had to escape from the Confucian Garden and wander outside, he would not have seen all the calmness of people, seen the various states of life, and would not have understood so many things.

Mr. Eleven said: "Senior Brother Seventy-One, are you too alarmist?

Mr. Seventy-One sneered: "Senior Brother Eleven, it seems that you still have to read a few more books, and you don't even understand the truth of 'the husband is not guilty, but he is guilty'. ”

Mr. Eleven's face suddenly became angry.

Mr. Two said with a straight face: "Senior Brother Seventy-One, your words are too radical. ”

Mr. Seventy-One said indifferently: "Senior brother, I am a rough person, I don't read as many books as you, I won't beat around the bush, I will only tell the truth." When I passed through Chuzhou, I saw that there was hunger all over the wilderness, and the people were struggling to make a living. So, I found a wealthy merchant who was hoarding thousands of quintals of grain at home and asked him to open a warehouse to release grain.

Mr. Eleven snorted coldly: "What else can I say? Naturally, I will find all kinds of excuses to reject you, these rich businessmen, who are unkind to the rich, are selfish and selfish, how can they care about the life and death of others?"

"Senior Brother Eleven, you are wrong. Mr. Seventy-One shook his head and said, "The rich merchant told me that it was not that he didn't want to open a warehouse to release grain, but that he couldn't. Because once he opens a warehouse and puts grain, his family will be ruined. ”

Mr. Eleven snorted coldly: "Nonsense, opening a warehouse and releasing grain is a good thing for the people, he has done a great deed, and it is too late for the people to love him, how can his family be ruined? This is clearly an excuse." ”

Mr. Seventy-One: "I thought so at first, so I insisted on opening the warehouse and releasing grain, despite his pleadings. However, Chuzhou, with a population of more than one million and a mere 1,000 quintals of grain, was able to provide relief? As soon as we heard that some people were releasing grain, a large number of refugees poured in, and in less than three days, the grain from the rich merchants was delivered. ”

"I came out to explain to you, but those refugees had already lost their minds from hunger, and when they heard that there was no food, the crowd was furious, and tens of thousands of people rioted, and suddenly poured into the rich merchants, and looted the rich merchants. ”

"The riot got out of control, and even if I tried to stop it, it didn't help at all, nearly a thousand people were trampled to death, and the two sons and daughters of the wealthy merchant also died. ”

Speaking of this, Mr. Seventy-One looked up to the sky and sighed, tears streaming down his face, "I originally meant to save people, but the rich businessman's family was ruined, second senior brother, you tell me, what did I do wrong? What did the rich businessman do wrong?"

Mr. Two was silent.

Mr. Seventy-One cried bitterly: "You saw the heart-rending scene of the rich businessman couple crying with their children in their arms? Did you see the picture of the couple committing suicide because they couldn't bear the pain of losing their children? No, you haven't seen it, but I have seen it." ”

Mr. Seventy-One patted his chest and said loudly: "They were originally a happy family, and those two children could have lived happily ever after, but because I wanted to save people, my family was ruined." Senior Brother Eleven, you have read a lot of books and understand a lot of truths, you tell me, I asked them to open a warehouse to release grain, relieve refugees, and benefit the world, why did they end up like this?"

Mr. Eleven was speechless.

"Since then, I have understood that all truth is nonsense, and only a big fist is the last word. Mr. Seventy-One sighed: "The current academy is like a rich merchant, the people of the world, that is, refugees, when the academy runs out of 'food' and is of no benefit to the people, all the countries of the world will pounce on us like mad dogs and devour us completely." At that time, the academy and the Confucian garden will be razed to the ground and cease to exist. ”

He pointed to Mr. Eighteen and Mr. Nineteen, and said, "Do you really think that the teacher let Senior Brother Eighteen and Senior Brother Nineteen go out of the mountain, and try his best to protect the demon and demon clans, so that people, demons, and demons can coexist peacefully, just for the sake of the common people in the world?"

Mr. Eighteen was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly scolded: "Senior Brother Seventy-One, you can't say this. ”

Mr. Two said solemnly: "Don't stop him, let him continue." ”

Mr. Seventy-One snorted coldly: "Actually, the teacher and senior brother have long seen the current predicament of the academy and the Confucian Garden. Therefore, they asked the eighteenth senior brother and the nineteenth senior brother to go out of the mountain to try their best to promote peace talks between the three clans and coexist peacefully, not only for the sake of the common people in the world, but also for the sake of the academy and the Confucian garden. ”

"The academy has millions of students, all over the world, even if they are defeated by the princes and countries, if they want to get rid of the academy, they will definitely break their bones and cause chaos in the world. At that time, the demon and demon clans will have an opportunity to take advantage of, so if you want to destroy the academy, you must first solve the external troubles and get rid of the demon and demon clans. ”

Mr. Seventy-One took a deep breath, completely let go, and said in a deep voice: "On the other hand, as long as the demon and demon clans are preserved, my academy and Confucian garden will not be destroyed." To put it bluntly, this is called raising Kou self-respect!"

"Shut up!"

"Shut up!"

Mr. Two and Mr. Five spoke at the same time, speaking in unison and shouting sharply.

When the gentlemen heard this, they all showed shocked expressions and were surprised.

can become a gentleman in the Confucian Garden, they are all smart people who are one in a million, after listening to Mr. Seventy-One's words, after seeing the reactions of Mr. Two and Mr. Five, they immediately understood what was going on?

For a long time, they thought that the academy and the Confucian Garden were transcendent, but they didn't know that the entire Yangshan had long been involved in this whirlpool, and it was likely to overturn at any time.

For a long time, they thought that the Confucian Garden was for the sake of the common people in the world, and they did not want to see the people of the world devastated by war, so they promoted peace talks between the human and demon races with the heart of benevolence.

Who knows, this is actually a means that the academy and the Confucian garden have to do in order to protect themselves.

This time, these gentlemen, who usually thought themselves superior, realized that they were nothing more than that.

Mr. Two said in a deep voice: "Senior Brother Seventy-One, it doesn't look like you can say what you said just now, let's say, who taught you to say that?"

Mr. Seventy-One: "It is true that others told me the truth, but it was not others who taught me to say this, but I took the initiative to ask about it. ”

Mr. Two asked, "Who is this person?"

Mr. Seventy-One replied, "Before, he was the Seven Princes of the Snow Country, and now, he is the Tian Qiye we are discussing now." ”

"It's him!?"

Everyone was surprised.

Before, they only knew from the mouths of Mr. Second, Mr. Eighteen, and Mr. Nineteen that Tian Qiye's scheming was very heavy, and the city government was very deep, but how deep was it? How heavy? They didn't know.

It wasn't until this moment that they could be regarded as having thoroughly comprehended the horror of Qiye!

It's horrible!

Even those of them who are in it can't see through this layer, but they are seen clearly by an outsider like Tian Qiye, and it is clear and clear, this scheming and the city government are chilling.

Mr. Two subconsciously looked at Mr. Eighteen and Mr. Nineteen and asked, "The two junior brothers also know about this?"

Mr. Eighteen nodded and smiled bitterly: "I know, moreover, that's what I asked." ”

Mr. 2: "How did you ask him?"

Mr. Eighteen said: "I was just curious at the time, so I asked him casually, why did he trust the academy so much? So sure that the academy would help him facilitate peace talks between the human and demon clans? He immediately explained to me the current situation between the academy and the demon and demon clans, and I understood what all this was about?"

That's right, that's how Seven Leaves act!

Qiye has always been very worried, the academy suddenly regretted it, what if he didn't help him? he wouldn't put his hope on the academy's invisible and untouchable 'benevolent heart'.

So, since the day Qiye arrived at the academy, he has been researching, how to tie the academy to himself, so that they can't get rid of it even if they want to.

And the result surprised Qiye.

Because he found that he didn't need to do anything at all, the academy had long been in the same boat as the demon and demon clans. Once the demon and demon races are destroyed, the academy will immediately become the target of the princes and countries of the world.

No one would allow the existence of such a behemoth that could disturb the stability of their country at any time!

Moreover, unlike the demon and demon clans, the academy does not have an army, and once it faces the princes and countries, it will have no resistance at all.

Seventy-two sages of the Confucian Garden, seventy-two myths of the Mandate of Heaven?

It sounds powerful and looks scary, but what's the use of facing thousands of troops, coalition armies, millions of people?

How many people can a Destiny myth deal with? 1,000, 2,000, or 10,000, 20,000? Even if you can't beat you, people will be tired to death if they use crowd tactics.

This is the reason why the six sects of the Heavenly Sect and the two factions of the Immeasurable View want to establish a country, and there is great strength in numbers.

Mr. Nineteen said: "Second Senior Brother, you said before that Tian Qiye's ultimate goal is to build a strong country. Perhaps, this is exactly what our academy and Confucian garden are needing. ”

Mr. Er pondered for a while, and said slowly: "I don't deny that Tian Qiye is indeed very capable, maybe he can really build a strong country." However, what I am concerned about is his character, he is mercenary and too selfish, and I am afraid that he will eventually push the academy into a desperate situation for his own interests. ”

Mr. Thirty-Seven hesitated, "Perhaps, it is precisely because he is mercenary and selfish that we need to give him the position of the head of the academy even more." ”

The second gentleman was puzzled: "Thirty-seventh junior brother, what do you mean by this?"

Mr. Thirty-Seven: "The reason is very simple, we made him the master of the academy, and the Confucian Yuan assisted him with all his might, and over time, he would feel that the academy was his thing. Second Senior Brother, didn't you say that he was mercenary and selfish? With his kind of character, would he easily hand over his things?"
