Huang Tianba sighed and said: "Actually, I don't think there's anything wrong with them killing corrupt officials, although the means are not fair, but those corrupt officials are in the south of the Yangtze River to eat the people and disregard people's lives." In doing so, at least for the sake of removing harm from the people, it can even be said to be a very happy thing. ”

“……”

I listened to him say this, but I couldn't help frowning.

Because I know it's not going to be that simple.

Sure enough, Huang Tianba was silent for a while, and said slowly: "Until last year, the imperial court assigned an official to Yangzhou named Liu Shizhou. ”

I said, "I know him, he is a clean official. ”

"Not only is he a clean official, but also a good official, he has served for a year, and the accounts are not bad at all, and I am the president of the Liangjiang Chamber of Commerce, so I naturally know some inside information, and," Huang Tianba said: "He also actively played to the imperial court, requesting the abolition of the untouchable nationality of the three provinces in the south of the Yangtze River, and the revocation of the restrictions of the imperial court on Jiangnan students from entering Beijing to take the examination." ”

Untouchables, that is after Yangzhou was captured, the emperor issued a holy decree in a rage, reducing all the people in the three provinces south of the Yangtze River to untouchables, not only the taxes borne by them are several times higher than those in other places, but also the southern students have to be subject to more restrictions in the examination, basically cutting off the career path of the southerners.

In this way, there was no one in the imperial court who spoke for the southerners.

Liu Shizhou is the only outlier, but this outlier also came to the news of his violent death at the beginning of the year.

"They, or did they attack Lord Liu......?"

"Hmm." Huang Tianba nodded: "I have always opposed them to Liu Shizhou before, and even stopped them when they wanted to attack several times, but in the end, they still took the opportunity to kill Lord Liu." ”

His words were filled with indescribable heaviness and regret: "Since this time, I have begun to reflect on our actions, blind revenge is not rational, so I have disagreed with them in several subsequent actions, and it is because of this that ......"

Because of this, his situation in the rebirth medicine shop became more and more difficult.

It's no wonder that Wei Zhengbang dared to blatantly provoke him.

"Then, I heard from them, and you don't approve of the assassination of the prince, why?"

Huang Tianba glanced at me and sighed lightly: "Since Liu Shizhou's incident, I have found that the power of hatred in my heart has weakened a lot, and it is precisely because of this that I have the spare energy to consider others and more people." The three princes go south, if they are really assassinated, the emperor will be angry, so that the implication is only afraid that it will affect the three provinces, and maybe it will bring a bloody storm to Yangzhou, we are strong in martial arts, and we can be happy to take revenge, but those ordinary people are innocent, how can we let them be the victims of our revenge? ”

Unexpectedly, he would have such a mind!

I looked at him, my heart was full of reverence, and said: "Huang Ye, the ancients once said that the difference between a hero and a sage is that a hero conquers others, while a sage conquers himself. You can put aside hatred and think for the people, you are not only a hero, but also a sage hero. ”

"Sage Hero?" When he heard these five words, he seemed to think it was funny, and immediately burst out laughing.

In the laughter, there was a hint of sourness.

His laughter startled a flock of birds in the silent mountain forest, and when he raised his eyes, he saw that the mountain fog was slowly dissipating, and a quiet temple slowly appeared in front of him on the mountain covered with red leaves.

"Here we are."

As he spoke, he pulled me along and walked up slowly.
