Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Destruction of Lives

As the days passed, there would be a flying news emergency report to the general altar about the situation in various places. The lazy Fu Hanqing also began to take the initiative to catch up with Feixun. Of course, most of what he paid attention to checked was the news of the Chu State.

Since Fang Qingchen's death, the situation of the Chu State has become worse and worse. The young emperor went crazy when the palace, and the royal ministers controlled the government, but they could not command the local government at all, and the people in power with heavy troops were either self-reliant or ignored the imperial court, and only a few troops that were still doing their duty were also difficult to support alone, and they were suppressed by the Qin army.

There is panic everywhere, chaos everywhere, seeing the foreign army encroaching on the land step by step, seeing the situation between the DPRK and China becoming more and more chaotic, the princes are still fighting each other for the dragon chair, and the powerful people everywhere, or the officials know that the good times are no longer there, and they must seize the time to plan for their future.

Everyone is desperately trying to expand their strength, some people want to take advantage of this troubled times to compete for power, some people just want to strengthen themselves in order to protect themselves, and some people just want to take advantage of this chaos to collect the most wealth.

Not only the people in power went crazy, but even the people went berserk and fell into a coma.

The government is not on the council, the servants are not in charge, there is chaos everywhere, and the prices of all necessities such as rice, vegetables, oil, salt, and cloth on the market have risen again and again, and even have no market.

Coupled with the smuggling of people with intentions, the mob looting incident was out of control.

Whether it is a powerful official or an ordinary mob among the people, in their eyes, the various businesses of the Shura Sect and the rich assets of the shops of all parties are really extremely attractive.

Everyone wants to make a fortune by taking advantage of the chaos, and everyone wants to make a fortune under the guise of not holding the public accountable.

Although the Shura Sect has far more powerful force to defend itself than ordinary merchants, it is not enough to repel ordinary mobs. But in the face of the pressure of the government and even the coercion of some troops, it is a little difficult.

Compared with the wanton looting of the mob, the looting of the government is much more civilized, and usually they will politely send you an official document to tell you that the country is facing a crisis now, and I hope you can donate assets to help the country tide over the difficulties.

If you don't agree, it means that you are not patriotic, that is, you are not patriotic, and in the future, when the Qin people come to fight, they will definitely commit treason, and to deal with the traitors in the future, use some extraordinary means, that must be reasonable.

Compared with the so-called politeness of the government, the generals who have heavy troops and take the opportunity to stand on their own are more direct.

In this chaotic world, your wealth and strength will inevitably become the object of everyone's coveting, and it is better to be better for us than to cheapen others. Besides, the current situation is so chaotic, if you want to do business in peace and stability, and continue to pretend to be a kind citizen, you will definitely not be able to. In such troubled times, it is a good time for heroes and heroes to make a difference, don't you Shura sect also have great ambitions? Why not give it a go with us? He will succeed day by day, and we will never forget the merits of the Shura Sect.

All in all, in short, they not only want money, but also all the elite disciples of the Shura Sect to use it for them, and in the beautiful name, everyone is a partner, and they work together to create a great cause.

It's just that this kind of invitation is usually not allowed to be refused, otherwise, no matter how you get it in the rivers and lakes, people will step on it casually, and how many foundations will be turned into ashes.

In the midst of this chaos, the poor people were as low as dust, wailing and unattended, dying of hunger and cold, of riots, of looting, of lack of medical care, of all the misery that would occur when all societies lost their normal order.

And the rich family is not spared, the strain is slow, it is robbed, several generations of hard work, turned into smoke, the strain is fast, quickly take out a lot of net worth to join the allegiance of a certain force, although the family property may end up only one-tenth of it, but in the end it still keeps the life of the family.

Officials are desperately searching for wealth, servants are actively striving for profits, and generals and powerful people are bent on consolidating their power and cracking down on competitors, and no one will come forward to take charge of affairs. No matter how you burn, kill, or plunder, you will not be punished or captured.

As a result, from looting to adultery, to pure murder for venting, to arson, the situation became even more chaotic and uncontrollable.

The most prosperous town in the past is now full of scorched earth, and as far as the eye can see, there is smoke and fire in all directions. All the doors and windows were firmly shut, and they were still pressed against the weight. The people will never go out unless they have eaten the last grain of rice and a drop of water in their homes. And many women and children would rather starve to death than go out on the streets.

In the streets, the dying people cry for help and beg for mercy, and the occasional people who come and go in a hurry will not pay much attention.

From towns to wilderness, nameless corpses are common, and no one cares for them.

In the midst of such chaos, there is an urgent need for a strong regime to re-establish the old order, and where that regime comes from is not so important.

There were even rumors among the people that if the Qin army came over, everything might get better. I heard that the lord of the Qin State is a prince who cherishes his people very much.

Although, it is very likely that these kinds of rumors were deliberately spread by the Qin State. But the people's hearts have been scattered to this point, who would dare to expect that when the Qin army came over, it would be like this

Able to swear to the death to help the army fight the enemy.

As a result, the army's fighting spirit is even weaker, and the generals and officials are more eager to control more wealth, more strong men, and more force, no matter what happens in the future, the more strength they have, whether it is to fight the world, or to negotiate conditions, the more chips they have.

As a result, the people became more and more discouraged and resentful, and the old order became more and more broken.

This vicious circle has intensified.

Even if the main altar is thousands of miles away, looking at the words on Feixun, everyone is frightened.

Everywhere there are people who make a fortune in the country, everywhere there are people who take advantage of the fire to rob, the real heroes, the righteous men, and those righteous people on the rivers and lakes are all like dead, and there is no trace of them again.

In troubled times, all the major sects are eager to recruit all the disciples and gather the strongest strength in order to protect themselves. What's more, before this kind of catastrophe that the whole country feared, the power of one person or even one faction was so small that it could hardly play a role.

Although the Shura Sect does not have any chivalrous heart to relieve the people from hanging upside down, it will not take this opportunity to make a fortune and profit, and what it is trying to do at this moment is nothing more than self-preservation.

Now that the situation in the Chu State is so chaotic, although everyone believes in Di Jiu's ability, they are still somewhat worried.

Di Jiu also sent back a few flying letters, during which he was vague, only a few words lightly said that although the situation was not good, he could still deal with it. There is no other gossip.

Fortunately, although the current situation is chaotic to this point, Xiao Hurt Hyacinth can still barely send back some detailed information, so that the general altar can accurately understand many of Di Jiu's actions, and everyone can rest assured.

In the routine meeting every day, the first thing is to see if there is any latest news from the Chu State, and then discuss the teaching affairs and deal with everything properly, and sometimes everyone will not disperse immediately. Instead, he sat lazily drinking tea and chatting.

Let's talk about today's weather is very good, talk about what kind of number is likely to reach in this year's teaching, and calculate their respective pockets, who is the most bulging one. Scolding Di Jiu twice, this guy is too self-conscious, he has been out for a few months, and the letter he wrote back has never been good, although the situation is not good, everything is with me, and I don't explain any details clearly, and I don't consider everyone's mood at all.

The worst thing is that he doesn't understand everyone's feelings, and he doesn't even take into account the infatuation of the sect leader, and he refuses to send a few private letters back, and he doesn't even mention the sect leader in the official letter......

Usually when it comes to this topic, Fu Hanqing will never be shy, but said generously: "I really want to read his letter, and I am also very concerned about what happened to him and what he did, but I have confidence in him, don't you believe that he has the ability to deal with those problems?" As for writing love letters, say private words...... Do you really think he is the one who writes that kind of letter and says that kind of thing? If he really wrote a love letter to me, if he really recorded everything he encountered in detail and explained it carefully, I am afraid that you will be so frightened that you will not be able to sit on the main altar in peace, right? He is the king of heaven, not a recorder, so don't be harsh on him. Didn't you send a bunch of hyacinths to his side, and he could find out how many glasses of water he drank a day? Don't blame the East and the West? ”

Yaoguang slapped the table angrily: "Can't you have a normal reaction?" Can't you be shy, embarrassed, embarrassed like ordinary people to give us a sense of accomplishment? As for the fact that we only occasionally say that someone is half a bad sentence, do you nag a lot? ”

Fu Hanqing smiled and said, "If you don't say bad things about him, I naturally won't talk much." ”

"Good. I'll put up with you. Yaoguang made a forbearant expression, "I blame the heavens and the earth for the Chu State and the strange Fang Qingchen, don't dare to blame him anymore, okay?" ”

Fu Hanqing was a little depressed: "What are you doing with Fang Qingchen?" ”

"Don't blame him, who is to blame? People who climb to such a high height should be a little open-minded and wise, as for such a trivial matter, do you want to die or live to dissect your heart? It's easy for him to die, but pity how much we have to lose......" Yao Guangqi snorted.

Mo Li smiled and said: "The sect leader never cares about money, fame and fortune, and he doesn't care about it, so, Yaoguang, you can't convince him with this." ”

"Okay, our Great Good Man Sect Master, regardless of the losses of my sect, just look at the suffering of the people of Chu now, do you still think this person should not be scolded?" Yaoguang raised his eyebrows and said word for word: "The lives are all because of him." ”

Fu Hanqing was silent for a while, and then asked softly: "Do you think that he must be responsible for the darkness and weakness in the depths of everyone's hearts?" Does he have to bear the sin for the greedy desires of all? When he was wronged and wronged, was he obliged to consider the madness and evil of all people? The king indulges his feelings and does not fulfill his duties as an emperor, the ministers indulge their selfish desires and refuse to plan for the country, the local officials and generals only attach importance to their own interests and completely ignore the responsibilities on their shoulders, among the people, some people make a fortune in the country, some people take the opportunity to run rampant, can all this darkness be put on him alone? miscellaneous

Duty, to be responsible for the whole country, to all the people. What is the king doing, what are the officials doing? ”

Yaoguang was stunned: "What's wrong with you?" Heaven is not allowed to blame, the earth can not be said, Di Jiu can not scold, I just nagged Fang Qingchen a few words, you have more than Luo Suo just now. She stretched out her hand and pointed out the window, "Such a good weather, such a leisurely time, we drink tea, knock melon seeds, and don't find a few people to scold, what a waste of a good life?" ”

Fu Hanqing smiled bitterly: "It's me who is wrong, you continue to scold, I won't accompany you." ”

He stood up, stretched, and forgot it, there are many things in this world that are incomprehensible, and it is better to go back and sleep in peace than to work hard here.

Yaoguang didn't want to let him slip away so easily, but as soon as he finished speaking, the figure of the sect leader disappeared, and when he rushed to the door, he only saw a corner of clothes bypassing the courtyard gate in front of him.

Yaoguang was angry: "Such a good light skill, you are only willing to come in handy when you are lazy, my sect leader, you are really amazing." ”

However, the beautiful woman's complaints have come out of the long way The sect leader can't hear it. He slipped back to his lodgings like a gust of wind. Here, Fuyan had prepared a hot meal and hot water for him to take a bath.

He ate and drank to his heart's content, and threw himself on his large soft bed, choking contentedly.

I thought I could fall asleep as soon as I closed my eyes, but I opened my eyes in the dark and looked at the roof for a long time.

The chaos in my heart is the chaotic situation in the Chu State. Although he was not too worried about Di Jiu's safety, the four words of Yaoguang's life and soul always echoed in his heart.

Whose fault is it?

Isn't it that everyone thinks it's your sin and your fault?

Life is miserable, light dust, isn't it, you actually feel that it is your responsibility.

How many lives have you been a human being, repeating such a fate again and again, insisting on such willfulness again and again, and facing such a catastrophe, what do you think?

He was confused and confused, a little confused, for such a long time, he had been living in a state of confusion and insensitivity, why did he suddenly realize it and look back, but he would have so many chaotic feelings and distracting thoughts about so many things.

With a sigh, he grabbed the extra pillow on the bed and used it to hold down his face, trying to get rid of all distractions, and began to count the sheep.

It's so miserable, since when did he even have to count sheep when he and Han sleep.

However, I don't know if the night is getting deeper, people are getting tired, or if the chaotic thoughts are gradually scattered, or if the method of counting sheep is really useful.

Fu Hanqing finally fell asleep in a daze, and in the dream, it seemed that someone was always pressing on him, and it was so heavy. In dreams, it seems that someone is always shouting, "Get up, lazy pig." ”

Fu Hanqing was so depressed that he waved his hands: "Go away, I want to sleep." ”

The sound of his hand hitting his skin made him wake up a little, and he heard a voice of gnashing teeth in his ears: "Master Sect Master, can't you restrain your internal strength when you sleep?" ”

Fu Hanqing shuddered, came to his senses completely, and opened his eyes violently.

But I saw that the room was full of candlelight, and the man under the lamp was covered in dust, but he still had bright red five-finger fingerprints on his face, and he didn't know whether to laugh or glare at him angrily.
